Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the other people to be enrolled by genealogies. Then I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up first, in which I found the following record:

我的神感动我心，招聚贵胄、官长，和百姓，要照家谱计算。我找着第一次上来之人的家谱，其上写着：

我的上帝感动我的心，我就召集贵族、官长和百姓，要登记家谱。我找到第一次上来之人的家谱，发现上面写着：

我的上帝使我心裏起意，我便招集了顯貴的人、官長和人民、要登記家譜。我找着頭一次上來的人的家譜；見那上頭寫着說：

我上帝感我之心、集諸顯者、民長庶民、循其譜系核之、初歸者之譜系、為我所得、載曰、

上帝感我、聚諸世職、群伯、庶民、考其譜系、統核其數、初歸故土者、名登於册、其册為我所得、上載曰、

我天主感我、我聚諸顯者、民長、庶民、稽其譜系、我得初歸者之譜系、上載曰、

So my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials and the common people for registration by families. I found the genealogical record of those who had been the first to return. This is what I found written there:

So my God gave me the idea and encouraged me to gather the people together. He also encouraged me to gather the nobles and officials together with them. He wanted me to list them by families. I found the family history of those who had been the first to return. Here is what I found written in it.

Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles and the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found written in it:

My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be listed by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found this written in it:

These searched among their genealogical registration but they could not be located; so they were considered defiled and excluded from the priesthood.

Remember, my God, Tobiah and Sanballat in accordance with these works of theirs, and also Noadiah the prophetess and the rest of the prophets, who were trying to frighten me.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

Not that we are adequate in ourselves so as to consider anything as having come from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,

For this purpose I also labor, striving according to His power which works mightily within me.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to glorify the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem,

Remember me, my God, for good, in return for all that I have done for this people.

So all Israel was enrolled in genealogies; and behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And Judah was taken into exile to Babylon for their infidelity.Now the first inhabitants who lived on their own property in their cities were people of Israel, including the priests, the Levites, and the temple servants.Some of the sons of Judah, some of the sons of Benjamin, and some of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh lived in Jerusalem:Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, from the sons of Perez the son of Judah.From the Shilonites were Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.From the sons of Zerah were Jeuel and their relatives, 690 of them.From the sons of Benjamin were Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah,and Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;and their relatives according to their generations, 956. All these men were heads of fathers’ households according to their fathers’ houses.

Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers and sisters.

So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;for it is God who is at work in you, both to desire and to work for His good pleasure.

These searched among their ancestral registration, but it could not be located; therefore they were considered unclean and disqualified from the priesthood.

But thanks be to God who puts the same earnestness in your behalf in the heart of Titus.
