5 Por profetët Axhe dhe Zakaria, bir i Idos, u profetizuan Judejve që ishin në Judë dhe në Jeruzalem në emër të Perëndisë të Izraelit që ishte mbi ta.
2 Atëherë Zorobabeli, bir i Shealtielit, dhe Jeshua, bir i Jotsadakut, u ngritën dhe nisën të ndërtojnë shtëpinë e Perëndisë në Jeruzalem; dhe me ta ishin profetët e Perëndisë, që i ndihmonin.
3 Në atë kohë erdhën tek ata Tatenai, qeveritar i krahinës matanë Lumit, Shethar-Boznai dhe kolegët e tyre dhe u folën kështu: "Kush ju dha urdhër të ndërtoni këtë tempull dhe të rindërtoni këto mure?".
4 Pastaj ne u treguam atyre emrat e njerëzve që ndërtonin këtë godinë.
5 Por pleqtë e Judejve i ruante syri i Perëndisë të tyre; dhe ata nuk mundën t’i bëjnë të ndërprisnin punën deri sa t’i dërgohej një raport Darit dhe të vinte një përgjigje për këtë çështje.
6 Kjo është një kopje e letrës që iu dërgua mbretit Dari nga Tatenai, qeveritar i krahinës matanë Lumit, nga Shethar-Boznai dhe nga kolegët e tij, Afarsekitët, që ishin matanë Lumit.
7 I dërguan një letër të shkruar në këtë mënyrë: "Mbretit Dari, shëndet të plotë!
8 I bëjmë të njohur mbretit që ne kemi vajtur në krahinën e Judës, në tempullin e Perëndisë të madh. Ai po ndërtohet me gurë të mëdhenj dhe po vihet lëndë druri për ndarëset e tij. Kjo punë po kryhet me kujdes dhe po ecën mirë në duart e tyre.
9 Ne kemi pyetur ata pleq dhe u kemi folur kështu: "Kush ju ka dhënë urdhër të ndërtoni këtë tempull dhe të ndërtoni këto mure?".
10 U kemi kërkuar edhe emrat e tyre, me qëllim që të vinim me shkrim emrat e njerëzve që janë në krye të tyre, dhe pastaj të t’i bënim të njohur.
11 Dhe ata na janë përgjigjur kështu, duke thënë: "Ne jemi shërbëtorët e Perëndisë të qiellit dhe të dheut dhe rindërtojmë tempullin që ishte ndërtuar shumë vjet më parë; një mbret i madh i Izraelit e kishte ndërtuar dhe mbaruar.
12 Duke qenë se etërit tanë kanë provokuar zemërimin e Perëndisë të qiellit, ai i dha në duart e Nebukadnetsarit, mbretit të Babilonisë, Kaldeasit, i cili e shkatërroi këtë tempull dhe e internoi popullin në Babiloni.
13 Por në vitin e parë të Kirit, mbretit të Babilonisë, mbreti Kir dha urdhër t’i ndërtohej kjo shtëpi Perëndisë.
14 Përveç kësaj mbreti Kir nxori jashtë nga tempulli i Babilonisë përdorëset prej ari dhe argjendi të shtëpisë së Perëndisë, që Nebukadnetsari kishte hequr nga tempulli i Jeruzalemit dhe i kishte çuar në tempullin e Babilonisë, dhe ia dorëzoi njërit që quhej Sheshbatsar, që ai e kishte bërë qeveritar,
15 duke i thënë: "Merri këto veglat dhe shko t’i vësh përsëri në tempullin që është në Jeruzalem; dhe shtëpia e Perëndisë të rindërtohet në vendin e saj.
16 Atëherë vetë Sheshbatsari erdhi dhe hodhi themelet e shtëpisë së Perëndisë që është në Jeruzalem; që nga kjo kohë e deri më sot ajo është në ndërtim, dhe nuk ka mbaruar akoma".
17 Prandaj tani, në rast se kjo i pëlqen mbretit, të bëhen kërkime në shtëpinë e thesareve të mbretit që është në Babiloni, për të parë nëse mbreti Kir ka dhënë me të vërtetë një urdhër për të ndërtuar këtë shtëpi të Perëndisë në Jeruzalem; dhe mbreti të na çojë vendimin e tij lidhur me këtë gjë".

Tattenai’s Letter to Darius
5 Now Haggai(A) the prophet and Zechariah(B) the prophet, a descendant of Iddo, prophesied(C) to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them. 2 Then Zerubbabel(D) son of Shealtiel and Joshua(E) son of Jozadak set to work(F) to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. And the prophets of God were with them, supporting them.
3 At that time Tattenai,(G) governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai(H) and their associates went to them and asked, “Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and to finish it?”(I) 4 They[a] also asked, “What are the names of those who are constructing this building?” 5 But the eye of their God(J) was watching over the elders of the Jews, and they were not stopped until a report could go to Darius and his written reply be received.
6 This is a copy of the letter that Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and their associates, the officials of Trans-Euphrates, sent to King Darius. 7 The report they sent him read as follows:
To King Darius:
Cordial greetings.
8 The king should know that we went to the district of Judah, to the temple of the great God. The people are building it with large stones and placing the timbers in the walls. The work(K) is being carried on with diligence and is making rapid progress under their direction.
9 We questioned the elders and asked them, “Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and to finish it?”(L) 10 We also asked them their names, so that we could write down the names of their leaders for your information.
11 This is the answer they gave us:
“We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple(M) that was built many years ago, one that a great king of Israel built and finished. 12 But because our ancestors angered(N) the God of heaven, he gave them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar the Chaldean, king of Babylon, who destroyed this temple and deported the people to Babylon.(O)
13 “However, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree(P) to rebuild this house of God. 14 He even removed from the temple[b] of Babylon the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to the temple[c] in Babylon.(Q) Then King Cyrus gave them to a man named Sheshbazzar,(R) whom he had appointed governor, 15 and he told him, ‘Take these articles and go and deposit them in the temple in Jerusalem. And rebuild the house of God on its site.’
16 “So this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of the house of God(S) in Jerusalem. From that day to the present it has been under construction but is not yet finished.”
17 Now if it pleases the king, let a search be made in the royal archives(T) of Babylon to see if King Cyrus did in fact issue a decree to rebuild this house of God in Jerusalem. Then let the king send us his decision in this matter.

5 Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.
2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.
3 At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?
4 Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make this building?
5 But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter.
6 The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai and his companions the Apharsachites, which were on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:
7 They sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace.
8 Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands.
9 Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and to make up these walls?
10 We asked their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them.
11 And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and set up.
12 But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.
13 But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God.
14 And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;
15 And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in his place.
16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not finished.
17 Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king's treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
