and,put_~_incharge DOM Ḩānāni my=brother/kindred and=DOM Ḩānānya & on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yərūshālayim/(Jerusalem)
Alternate translation: “I appointed two men to help me govern Jerusalem, my brother Hanani and Hananiah”
חֲנָ֣נִי אָחִ֗י
Ḩānāni my=brother/kindred
As in 1:2, brother here most likely indicates that Hanani was Nehemiah’s biological brother. Alternate translation: “my brother Hanani”

Alternate translation: “who was in charge of the fortress”
כִּי־הוּא֙ כְּאִ֣ישׁ אֱמֶ֔ת
that/for/because/then/when he/it as,man faithful
He means Hananiah. “He was as a faithful man” is a way of saying “he was such as only a faithful man would be.” Alternate translation: “I appointed Hananiah because he was trustworthy”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְיָרֵ֥א אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים מֵרַבִּֽים
and,feared DOM the=ʼElohīm more_than,many
Here, fear does not mean to be afraid of God, but to show God reverence and respect. Alternate translation: “because he showed God more reverence and respect than most people do”
7:2 a faithful man who feared God: Hanani displayed two leadership characteristics favored by Nehemiah and God (see also 5:9, 15; Dan 6:4; Luke 16:10-12; 1 Pet 5:12).
