1 καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ᾠκοδομήθη τὸ τεῖχος καὶ ἔστησα τὰς θύρας καὶ ἐπεσκέπησαν οἱ πυλωροὶ καὶ οἱ ᾄδοντες καὶ οἱ Λευῖται 2 καὶ ἐνετειλάμην τῷ Ανανια ἀδελφῷ μου καὶ τῷ Ανανια ἄρχοντι τῆς βιρα ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ὅτι αὐτὸς ὡς ἀνὴρ ἀληθὴς καὶ φοβούμενος τὸν θεὸν παρὰ πολλούς 3 καὶ εἶπα αὐτοῖς οὐκ ἀνοιγήσονται πύλαι Ιερουσαλημ ἕως ἅμα τῷ ἡλίῳ καὶ ἔτι αὐτῶν γρηγορούντων κλειέσθωσαν αἱ θύραι καὶ σφηνούσθωσαν καὶ στῆσον προφύλακας οἰκούντων ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἀνὴρ ἐν προφυλακῇ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνὴρ ἀπέναντι οἰκίας αὐτοῦ

1 When the wall was finished, and I had set up the gates, I made a register of the door-keepers; of the singers, too, and the Levites. 2 Then I entrusted the defence of the city to my kinsman Hanani, and to Hananias, who was controller of the temple palace at Jerusalem, and eminent, as it seemed to me, in honour and piety; 3 these I made answerable for seeing to it that the gates should never be opened till the sun was up. At nightfall, the gates must be bolted and barred in their presence. And such citizens of Jerusalem as had houses facing the wall must take their turn at keeping watch.

1 Postquam autem ædificatus est murus, et posui valvas, et recensui janitores, et cantores, et Levitas, 2 præcepi Hanani fratri meo, et Hananiæ principi domus de Jerusalem (ipse enim quasi vir verax et timens Deum plus ceteris videbatur), 3 et dixi eis: Non aperiantur portæ Jerusalem usque ad calorem solis. Cumque adhuc assisterent, clausæ portæ sunt, et oppilatæ: et posui custodes de habitatoribus Jerusalem, singulos per vices suas, et unumquemque contra domum suam.

4 καὶ ἡ πόλις πλατεῖα καὶ μεγάλη καὶ ὁ λαὸς ὀλίγος ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν οἰκίαι ᾠκοδομημέναι 5 καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ θεὸς εἰς τὴν καρδίαν μου καὶ συνῆξα τοὺς ἐντίμους καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ τὸν λαὸν εἰς συνοδίας καὶ εὗρον βιβλίον τῆς συνοδίας οἳ ἀνέβησαν ἐν πρώτοις καὶ εὗρον γεγραμμένον ἐν αὐτῷ

4 Far and wide the city stretched, and its citizens were few and far between; the houses in it had not yet been repaired. 5 But I, God putting such a resolve into my heart, mustered them all, nobles, rulers and common citizens alike, to make a register of them. I found the old register, with the names of those who first returned from exile, and their numbers, it proved, were as follows.

4 Civitas autem erat lata nimis et grandis, et populus parvus in medio ejus, et non erant domus ædificatæ. 5 Deus autem dedit in corde meo, et congregavi optimates, et magistratus, et vulgus, ut recenserem eos: et inveni librum census eorum qui ascenderant primum, et inventum est scriptum in eo.

6 καὶ οὗτοι υἱοὶ τῆς χώρας οἱ ἀναβάντες ἀπὸ αἰχμαλωσίας τῆς ἀποικίας ἧς ἀπῴκισεν Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ εἰς Ιουδα ἀνὴρ εἰς τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ 7 μετὰ Ζοροβαβελ καὶ Ἰησοῦ καὶ Νεεμια Αζαρια Δαεμια Ναεμανι Μαρδοχαιος Βαλσαν Μασφαραθ Εσδρα Βαγοι Ναουμ Βαανα Μασφαρ ἄνδρες λαοῦ Ισραηλ 8 υἱοὶ Φορος δισχίλιοι ἑκατὸν ἑβδομήκοντα δύο 9 υἱοὶ Σαφατια τριακόσιοι ἑβδομήκοντα δύο 10 υἱοὶ Ηρα ἑξακόσιοι πεντήκοντα δύο 11 υἱοὶ Φααθμωαβ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰησοῦ καὶ Ιωαβ δισχίλιοι ὀκτακόσιοι δέκα ὀκτώ 12 υἱοὶ Αιλαμ χίλιοι διακόσιοι πεντήκοντα τέσσαρες 13 υἱοὶ Ζαθουα ὀκτακόσιοι τεσσαράκοντα πέντε 14 υἱοὶ Ζακχου ἑπτακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα 15 υἱοὶ Βανουι ἑξακόσιοι τεσσαράκοντα ὀκτώ 16 υἱοὶ Βηβι ἑξακόσιοι εἴκοσι ὀκτώ 17 υἱοὶ Ασγαδ δισχίλιοι τριακόσιοι εἴκοσι δύο 18 υἱοὶ Αδενικαμ ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἑπτά 19 υἱοὶ Βαγοι δισχίλιοι ἑξήκοντα ἑπτά 20 υἱοὶ Ηδιν ἑξακόσιοι πεντήκοντα πέντε 21 υἱοὶ Ατηρ τῷ Εζεκια ἐνενήκοντα ὀκτώ 22 υἱοὶ Ησαμ τριακόσιοι εἴκοσι ὀκτώ 23 υἱοὶ Βεσι τριακόσιοι εἴκοσι τέσσαρες 24 υἱοὶ Αριφ ἑκατὸν δώδεκα

6 These were the numbers in which they came back to Jerusalem, and to the various cities of Juda, these exiles that had been taken to Babylon by the Chaldaean king Nabuchodonosor, and afterwards returned home. 7 Their leaders were Zorobabel, Josue, Nehemias, Azarias, Raamias, Nahamani, Mardochaeus, Belsam, Mespharath, Begoai, Nahum and Baana.

47 Nathinæi: filii Soha, filii Hasupha, filii Tebbaoth, 48 filii Ceros, filii Siaa, filii Phadon, filii Lebana, filii Hagaba, filii Selmai, 49 filii Hanan, filii Geddel, filii Gaher, 50 filii Raaia, filii Rasin, filii Necoda, 51 filii Gezem, filii Aza, filii Phasea, 52 filii Besai, filii Munim, filii Nephussim, 53 filii Bacbuc, filii Hacupha, filii Harhur, 54 filii Besloth, filii Mahida, filii Harsa, 55 filii Bercos, filii Sisara, filii Thema, 56 filii Nasia, filii Hatipha, 57 filii servorum Salomonis, filii Sothai, filii Sophereth, filii Pharida, 58 filii Jahala, filii Darcon, filii Jeddel, 59 filii Saphatia, filii Hatil, filii Phochereth, qui erat ortus ex Sabaim filio Amon. 60 Omnes Nathinæi, et filii servorum Salomonis, trecenti nonaginta duo.

61 καὶ οὗτοι ἀνέβησαν ἀπὸ Θελμελεθ Αρησα Χαρουβ Ηρων Ιεμηρ καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθησαν ἀπαγγεῖλαι οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν καὶ σπέρμα αὐτῶν εἰ ἀπὸ Ισραηλ εἰσίν 62 υἱοὶ Δαλαια υἱοὶ Τωβια υἱοὶ Νεκωδα ἑξακόσιοι τεσσαράκοντα δύο 63 καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἱερέων υἱοὶ Εβια υἱοὶ Ακως υἱοὶ Βερζελλι ὅτι ἔλαβεν ἀπὸ θυγατέρων Βερζελλι τοῦ Γαλααδίτου γυναῖκας καὶ ἐκλήθη ἐ{P'} ὀνόματι αὐτῶν 64 οὗτοι ἐζήτησαν γραφὴν αὐτῶν τῆς συνοδίας καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθη καὶ ἠγχιστεύθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἱερατείας 65 καὶ εἶπεν Αθερσαθα ἵνα μὴ φάγωσιν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἁγίου τῶν ἁγίων ἕως ἀναστῇ ὁ ἱερεὺς φωτίσων

61 Some of those who came back from Thelmela, Thelharsa, Cherub, Addon and Emmer could not prove whence their ancestors came or whether they were of Israelite stock; 62 they were descendants of Dalaia, Tobia and Necoda, amounting to six hundred and forty-two. 63 Such, too, among the priests were the sons of Habia, of Accos, and of that Berzellai who married a daughter of Berzellai the Galaadite and took his name; 64 they could find no written record of their ancestry, and were expelled from the priesthood; 65 they might not partake of the food reserved for the priests, the governor told them, until there should be a high priest that bore the touchstones of wisdom and truth.

61 Hi sunt autem qui ascenderunt de Thelmela, Thelharsa, Cherub, Addon, et Emmer: et non potuerunt indicare domum patrum suorum, et semen suum, utrum ex Israël essent, 62 filii Dalaia, filii Tobia, filii Necoda, sexcenti quadraginta duo. 63 Et de sacerdotibus, filii Habia, filii Accos, filii Berzellai, qui accepit de filiabus Berzellai Galaaditis uxorem, et vocatus est nomine eorum. 64 Hi quæsierunt scripturam suam in censu, et non invenerunt: et ejecti sunt de sacerdotio. 65 Dixitque Athersatha eis ut non manducarent de Sanctis sanctorum, donec staret sacerdos doctus et eruditus.

66 καὶ ἐγένετο πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία ὡς εἷς τέσσαρες μυριάδες δισχίλιοι τριακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα 67 πάρεξ δούλων αὐτῶν καὶ παιδισκῶν αὐτῶν οὗτοι ἑπτακισχίλιοι τριακόσιοι τριάκοντα ἑπτά καὶ ᾄδοντες καὶ ᾄδουσαι διακόσιοι τεσσαράκοντα πέντε 68 ἵπποι ἑπτακόσιοι τριάκοντα ἕξ ἡμίονοι διακόσιοι τεσσαράκοντα πέντε 69 κάμηλοι τετρακόσιοι τριάκοντα πέντε ὄνοι ἑξακισχίλιοι ἑπτακόσιοι εἴκοσι

66 The whole number, taken together, amounted to forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty, 67 not counting the men and women servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven, with two hundred and forty-five men and maids that were singers. 68 They had with them seven hundred and thirty-six horses, two hundred and forty-five mules, 69 four hundred and thirty-five camels, six thousand seven hundred and twenty asses.[1]

(End of the register. The narrative of Nehemias continues.[2])

66 Omnis multitudo quasi vir unus quadraginta duo millia trecenti sexaginta, 67 absque servis et ancillis eorum, qui erant septem millia trecenti triginta septem, et inter eos cantores et cantatrices, ducenti quadraginta quinque. 68 Equi eorum, septingenti triginta sex: muli eorum, ducenti quadraginta quinque: 69 cameli eorum, quadringenti triginta quinque: asini, sex millia septingenti viginti.

70 καὶ ἀπὸ μέρους ἀρχηγῶν τῶν πατριῶν ἔδωκαν εἰς τὸ ἔργον τῷ Νεεμια εἰς θησαυρὸν χρυσοῦς χιλίους φιάλας πεντήκοντα καὶ χοθωνωθ τῶν ἱερέων τριάκοντα 71 καὶ ἀπὸ ἀρχηγῶν τῶν πατριῶν ἔδωκαν εἰς θησαυρὸν τοῦ ἔργου χρυσίου δύο μυριάδας καὶ ἀργυρίου μνᾶς δισχιλίας διακοσίας 72 καὶ ἔδωκαν οἱ κατάλοιποι τοῦ λαοῦ χρυσίου δύο μυριάδας καὶ ἀργυρίου μνᾶς δισχιλίας διακοσίας καὶ χοθωνωθ τῶν ἱερέων ἑξήκοντα ἑπτά 73 καὶ ἐκάθισαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται καὶ οἱ πυλωροὶ καὶ οἱ ᾄδοντες καὶ οἱ ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ οἱ ναθινιμ καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ ἐν πόλεσιν αὐτῶν καὶ ἔφθασεν ὁ μὴν ὁ ἕβδομος καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐν πόλεσιν αὐτῶν

70 … Some of the chief families made contributions to help the enterprise. The governor handed over to the treasury a thousand gold pieces, fifty bowls, and five hundred and thirty tunics for the priests; 71 the heads of clans, twenty thousand gold pieces, and two thousand two hundred silver pieces, 72 the rest of the people, twenty thousand gold pieces, two thousand silver pieces, and sixty-seven tunics for the priests. 73 And now priests and Levites, singers and door-keepers (and the rest of the people) and the Nathinaeans and all Israel were back in the cities that were their homes.

70 Nonnulli autem de principibus familiarum dederunt in opus. Athersatha dedit in thesaurum auri drachmas mille, phialas quinquaginta, tunicas sacerdotales quingentas triginta. 71 Et de principibus familiarum dederunt in thesaurum operis, auri drachmas viginti millia, et argenti mnas duo millia ducentas. 72 Et quod dedit reliquus populus, auri drachmas viginti millia, et argenti mnas duo millia, et tunicas sacerdotales sexaginta septem. 73 Habitaverunt autem sacerdotes, et Levitæ, et janitores, et cantores, et reliquum vulgus, et Nathinæi, et omnis Israël, in civitatibus suis.

[1] vv. 6-69, cf. I Esdras 2.1-67. It is evident from the slight variations which will be noticed among the figures that our text of the sacred scriptures is not always immune from occasional errors in copying.

[2] The note here given is only found in the Latin version. It will be observed that verse 73 here is nevertheless a repetition of I Esdras 2.70, and seems to belong to the register-document.
