Строеж на градските стени и списък на строителите

(A)Тогава първосвещеник Елияшив и другите свещеници се захванаха и построиха отново Овчата порта; те я осветиха и поставиха вратите ѝ от кулата Меа до кулата Хананела. До тях строяха йерихонците, а до тях строеше Закхур, Имриевият син. Потомците на Сенай построиха Рибната порта; те я покриха с греди и поставиха вратите, ключалките и лостовете ѝ. До тях поправяше стената Меремот, синът на Урия, Хакоцовия син; до тях поправяше Мешулам, синът на Берехия, Мешизабеловия син; до тях поправяше Садок, син на Баана. До тях поправяха текойците, но знатните от тях не превиха врат да изпълнят дълга си към своя Господ. А старата порта поправиха Йояда, Пасеаховият син, и Мешулам, Бесодиевият син; те я покриха и поставиха вратите, ключалките и лостовете ѝ.

Той я възстанови, покри и постави вратите, ключалките и лостовете ѝ; поправи и стената при водоема Селах при царската градина, чак до стъпалата, които слизат от Давидовия град. 16 До него поправяше Неемия, Абуковият син, управител на половината от Бетцурския окръг; той работеше срещу Давидовите гробници до изкуственото езеро и до казармата на стражите. 17 След него поправяха левитите начело с Рехум, Ваниевия син; до него поправяше Хашавия, управител на половината от Кеилския окръг, като представител на своя кръг. 18 След тях поправяха останалите левити начело с Бавай, Хенадовия син, управител на другата половина от Кеилския окръг. 19 До него Езер, Иисусовият син, управител на Мицфа, поправяше другата част срещу нанагорнището към оръжейницата при ъгъла на стената. 20 До него Варух, Забваевият син, усърдно работеше на част от стената, от ъгъла до вратата на къщата на първосвещеника Елияшив. 21 След него Меремот, синът на Урия, Хакоцовия син, поправяше другата част от вратата на Елияшивовата къща до нейния край. 22 По-нататък поправяха свещениците от околността. 23 Вениамин и Хашув работеха до тях срещу своята къща; след тях, близо до къщата си, поправяше Азария, синът на Маасея, Ананиевия син. 24 След него Бинуй, Хенанадовият син, поправяше друга част – от къщата на Азария до завоя, чак до ъгъла на стената. 25 Фалал, Узаевият син, укрепваше стената срещу ъгъла и кулата, която се издава от горния царски дворец при двора на стражата. А след него поправяше Федая, Парошовият син. 26 А храмовите слуги, които живееха в Офел, поправяха до кулата, която се издигаше на изток при Водната порта. 27 По-нататък от издадената кула до стената на Офел работеха текойците. 28 От горната страна на Конските порти поправяха свещениците, всеки срещу къщата си. 29 След тях поправяха Садок, Имеровия син, срещу къщата си, а след него – Шемая, Шехановият син, пазач на източните порти. 30 Другата част от стената поправяха Ханания, Шелемиевият син, и Ханун, шестият син на Цалаф.

Препятствия и продължаване на строежа на стените

33 [a] Когато Санавалат чу, че отново изграждаме градските стени, обзе го силен гняв и започна да се подиграва на юдеите. 34 Пред сънародниците си и пред самарийската войска той каза: „Какво си въобразяват тези окаяни юдеи? Нима си мислят, че ще се укрепят и ще извършват жертвоприношения и че това е работа за един ден? Как ще съживят тези обгорени камъни от руините?“ 35 А Товия, амонецът, който стоеше до него, добави: „Нека градят – и лисица да мине, ще събори каменните им стени.“

36 Тогава казах: „Чуй, Боже наш, как ни презират и обърни презрението им върху техните глави; нека и те да бъдат ограбени и да живеят в някоя страна като пленници. 37 (B)Не забравяй беззаконията им. Нека грехът им бъде винаги пред Тебе, защото те оскърбиха онези, които изграждаха стените.“

38 А ние все пак изградихме стената и я свързахме до половината ѝ височина, защото народът взе работата присърце.
