So my God gave me the idea to call together all the nobles and leaders of the city, along with the ordinary citizens, for registration. I had found the genealogical record of those who had first returned to Judah. This is what was written there:

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：

我的神感动我的心，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：

我的上帝感动我召集贵族、官员和民众，按照他们的家谱进行登记。我找到第一批回归之人的家谱，上面记着：

我的神使我的心定意，召集贵族、官长和人民，要照家谱登记。我找到头一次上来的人的家谱，我找到的家谱上面写着：

我的神感動我心，招聚貴冑、官長，和百姓，要照家譜計算。我找着第一次上來之人的家譜，其上寫着：

我的上帝感動我的心，我就召集貴族、官長和百姓，要登記家譜。我找到第一次上來之人的家譜，發現上面寫着：

我的上帝感動我召集貴族、官員和民眾，按照他們的家譜進行登記。我找到第一批回歸之人的家譜，上面記著：

我的神使我的心定意，召集貴族、官長和人民，要照家譜登記。我找到頭一次上來的人的家譜，我找到的家譜上面寫著：

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:

Then my God put it into my mind to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be registered by genealogy. I found the genealogical record of those who came back first, and I found the following written in it:

My God placed it on my heart to gather the leaders, the officials, and the ordinary people so they could be enrolled on the basis of genealogy. I found the genealogical records of those who had formerly returned. Here is what I found written in that record:

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:

They searched for their names in the genealogical records, but they were not found, so they were disqualified from serving as priests.

Remember, O my God, all the evil things that Tobiah and Sanballat have done. And remember Noadiah the prophet and all the prophets like her who have tried to intimidate me.

But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me— and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace.

It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God.

That’s why I work and struggle so hard, depending on Christ’s mighty power that works within me.

Praise the Lord, the God of our ancestors, who made the king want to beautify the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem!

Remember, O my God, all that I have done for these people, and bless me for it.

So all Israel was listed in the genealogical records in The Book of the Kings of Israel. The people of Judah were exiled to Babylon because they were unfaithful to the Lord.The first of the exiles to return to their property in their former towns were priests, Levites, Temple servants, and other Israelites.Some of the people from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh came and settled in Jerusalem.One family that returned was that of Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, a descendant of Perez son of Judah.Others returned from the Shilonite clan, including Asaiah( the oldest) and his sons.From the Zerahite clan, Jeuel returned with his relatives. In all, 690 families from the tribe of Judah returned.From the tribe of Benjamin came Sallu son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Hassenuah;Ibneiah son of Jeroham; Elah son of Uzzi, son of Micri; and Meshullam son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah.These men were all leaders of clans, and they were listed in their genealogical records. In all, 956 families from the tribe of Benjamin returned.

So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters.

Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear.For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

They searched for their names in the genealogical records, but they were not found, so they were disqualified from serving as priests.

But thank God! He has given Titus the same enthusiasm for you that I have.
