BSB

1 When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.

SVD

1 وَلَمَّا بُنِيَ ٱلسُّورُ، وَأَقَمْتُ ٱلْمَصَارِيعَ، وَتَرَتَّبَ ٱلْبَوَّابُونَ وَٱلْمُغَنُّونَ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ،

BSB

2 Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.

SVD

2 أَقَمْتُ حَنَانِيَ أَخِي وَحَنَنْيَا رَئِيسَ ٱلْقَصْرِ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلًا أَمِينًا يَخَافُ ٱللهَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كَثِيرِينَ.

BSB

3 And I told them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes.”

SVD

3 وَقُلْتُ لَهُمَا: «لَا تُفْتَحْ أَبْوَابُ أُورُشَلِيمَ حَتَّى تَحْمَى ٱلشَّمْسُ. وَمَا دَامُوا وُقُوفًا فَلْيُغْلِقُوا ٱلْمَصَارِيعَ وَيُقْفِلُوهَا. وَأُقِيمَ حِرَاسَاتٌ مِنْ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حِرَاسَتِهِ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِهِ».

BSB

4 Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.

SVD

4 وَكَانَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ وَاسِعَةَ ٱلْجَنَابِ وَعَظِيمَةً، وَٱلشَّعْبُ قَلِيلًا فِي وَسَطِهَا، وَلَمْ تَكُنِ ٱلْبُيُوتُ قَدْ بُنِيَتْ.

BSB

5 Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it:

SVD

5 فَأَلْهَمَنِي إِلَهِي أَنْ أَجْمَعَ ٱلْعُظَمَاءَ وَٱلْوُلَاةَ وَٱلشَّعْبَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلِٱنْتِسَابِ. فَوَجَدْتُ سِفْرَ ٱنْتِسَابِ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا أَوَّلًا وَوَجَدْتُ مَكْتُوبًا فِيهِ:

BSB

6 These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,

SVD

6 هَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ بَنُو ٱلْكُورَةِ ٱلصَّاعِدُونَ مِنْ سَبْيِ ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَاهُمْ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَرَجَعُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَدِينَتِهِ.
