1 Cuando la muralla estuvo terminada y coloqué las puertas, se asignaron sus funciones a los porteros, los cantores y los levitas.
1 Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
2 Puse a mi hermano Hananí y a Hananías, jefe de la fortaleza, al frente de Jerusalén. Hananías era un hombre fiel y temía a Dios más que muchos otros.
2 I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.
3 Les dije: «No abran las puertas de Jerusalén hasta que el sol esté alto. Mientras los guardias estén en sus puestos, cierren las puertas y asegúrenlas. Pongan también guardias entre los habitantes de Jerusalén, cada uno en su puesto y frente a su propia casa».
3 I said to them, “Don’t let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them; and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near his house.”
4 La ciudad era grande y extensa, pero había poca gente dentro de ella y todavía no se habían reconstruido las casas.
