Nehemiah 7
|
Lorsque la muraille fut rebâtie et que j`eus posé les battants des portes, on établit dans leurs fonctions les portiers, les chantres et les Lévites. | Now when the building of the wall was complete and I had put up the doors, and the door-keepers and the music-makers and the Levites had been given their places, |
Je donnai mes ordres à Hanani, mon frère, et à Hanania, chef de la citadelle de Jérusalem, homme supérieur au grand nombre par sa fidélité et par sa crainte de Dieu. | I made my brother Hanani, and Hananiah, the ruler of the tower, responsible for the government of Jerusalem: for he was a man of good faith, fearing God more than most. |
Je leur dis: Les portes de Jérusalem ne s`ouvriront pas avant que la chaleur du soleil soit venue, et l`on fermera les battants aux verrous en votre présence; les habitants de Jérusalem feront la garde, chacun à son poste devant sa maison. | And I said to them, Do not let the doors of Jerusalem be open till the sun is high; and while the watchmen are in their places, let the doors be shut and locked: and let the people of Jerusalem be put on watch, every one in his watch, opposite his house. |
La ville était spacieuse et grande, mais peu peuplée, et les maisons n`étaient pas bâties. | Now the town was wide and great: but the people in it were only a small number, and the houses had not been put up. |
Mon Dieu me mit au coeur d`assembler les grands, les magistrats et le peuple, pour en faire le dénombrement. Je trouvai un registre généalogique de ceux qui étaient montés les premiers, et j`y vis écrit ce qui suit. | And my God put it into my heart to get together the rulers and the chiefs and the people so that they might be listed by families. And I came across a record of the names of those who came up at the first, and in it I saw these words: |
Voici ceux de la province qui revinrent de l`exil, ceux que Nebucadnetsar, roi de Babylone, avait emmenés captifs, et qui retournèrent à Jérusalem et en Juda, chacun dans sa ville. | These are the people of the divisions of the kingdom, among those who had been made prisoners by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and taken away by him, who went back to Jerusalem and Judah, every one to his town; |
