pópulus parvus in médio ejus, et non erant domus ædificátæ. Deus autem dedit in corde meo, et congregávi optimátes, et magistrátus, et vulgus, ut recénserem eos: et invéni librum census eórum qui ascénderant primum, et invéntum est scriptum in eo. Isti fílii provínciæ, qui ascendérunt de captivitáte migrántium, quos transtúlerat Nabuchodonósor rex Babylónis, et revérsi sunt in Jerúsalem et in Judaeam, unusquísque in civitátem suam.

Et de sacerdótibus, fílii Hábia, fílii Accos, fílii Berzéllai, qui accépit de filiábus Berzéllai Galaáditis uxórem, et vocátus est nómine eórum. Hi quæsiérunt scriptúram suam in censu, et non invenérunt: et ejécti sunt de sacerdótio. Dixítque Athersátha eis ut non manducárent de Sanctis sanctórum, donec staret sacérdos doctus et erudítus. Omnis multitúdo quasi vir unus quadragínta duo míllia trecénti sexagínta, absque servis et ancíllis eórum, qui erant septem míllia trecénti trigínta septem, et inter eos cantóres et cantatríces, ducénti quadragínta quinque.

Et vénerat mensis séptimus: fílii autem Israël erant in civitátibus suis. Congregatúsque est omnis pópulus quasi vir unus ad platéam quæ est ante portam aquárum: et dixérunt Esdræ scribæ ut afférret librum legis Móysi, quam præcéperat Dóminus Israëli. Áttulit ergo Esdras sacérdos legem coram multitúdine virórum et mulíerum, cunctísque qui póterant intellígere, in die prima mensis séptimi. Et legit in eo apérte in platéa quæ erat ante portam aquárum, de mane usque ad médiam diem, in conspéctu virórum et mulíerum, et sapiéntium: et aures omnis pópuli erant eréctæ ad librum. Stetit autem Esdras scriba super gradum lígneum, quem fécerat ad loquéndum: et stetérunt juxta eum Matháthias, et Semeía, et Ánia, et Uría, et Helcía, et Maásia, ad déxteram ejus: et ad sinístram, Phadaía, Mísaël, et Mélchia, et Hasum, et Hasbadána, Zacharía, et Mosóllam. Et apéruit Esdras librum coram omni pópulo: super univérsum quippe pópulum eminébat: et cum aperuísset eum, stetit omnis pópulus. Et benedíxit Esdras Dómino Deo magno: et respóndit omnis pópulus: Amen, amen, élevans manus suas: et incurváti sunt, et adoravérunt Deum proni in terram.

[Nehemiah 7:4-8:7 (called Esdras 17:4-18:7)]

...the people few in the midst thereof, and the houses were not built. 5 But God had put in my heart, and I assembled the princes and magistrates, and common people, to number them: and I found a book of the number of them who came up at first, and therein it was found written: 6 These are the children of the province, who came up from the captivity of them that had been carried away, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned into Judea, every one into his own city. 7 Who came with Zorobabel, Josue, Nehemias, Azarias, Raamias, Nahamani, Mardochai, Belsam, Mespharath, Begoia, Nahum, Baana.

Hitherto is related what was written in the record. From this place forward goeth on the history of Nehemias. 70 And some of the heads of the families gave unto the work. Athersatha gave into the treasure a thousand drams of gold, fifty bowls, and five hundred and thirty garments for priests. 71 And some of the heads of families gave to the treasure of the work, twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand two hundred pounds of silver. 72 And that which the rest of the people gave, was twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pounds of silver, and sixty-seven garments for priests. 73 And the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singing men, and the rest of the common people, and the Nathinites, and all Israel dwelt in their cities.

1 And the seventh month came: and the children of Israel were in their cities. And all the people were gathered together as one man to the street which is before the water gate, and they spoke to Esdras the scribe, to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded to Israel. 2 Then Esdras the priest brought the law before the multitude of men and women, and all those that could understand, in the first day of the seventh month. 3 And he read it plainly in the street that was before the water gate, from the morning until midday, before the men, and the women, and all those that could understand: and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book. 4 And Esdras the scribe stood upon a step of wood, which he had made to speak upon, and there stood by him Mathathias, and Semeia, and Ania, and Uria, and Helcia, and Maasia, on his right hand: and on the left, Phadaia, Misael, and Melchia, and Hasum, and Hasbadana, Zacharia and Mosollam. 5 And Esdras opened the book before all the people: for he was above all the people: and when he had opened it, all the people stood. 6 And Esdras blessed the Lord the great God: and all the people answered, Amen, amen: lifting up their hands: and they bowed down, and adored God with their faces to the ground. 7 Now Josue, and Bani, and Serebia, Jamin, Accub, Sephtai, Odia, Maasia, Celtia, Azarias, Jozabed, Hanan...
