重建圣殿的工作受拦阻
4 犹大和便雅悯的敌人听见被掳回来的人为耶和华以色列的 神重建圣殿， 2 就前来见所罗巴伯和众族长，对他们说：“请让我们与你们一起建造吧！因为我们也像你们那样寻求你们的 神。自从亚述王以撒哈顿把我们带上这里的日子以来，我们一直向他献祭。” 3 但所罗巴伯、耶书亚和以色列其余的族长对他们说：“你们不能与我们一同建筑 神的殿，因为波斯王古列王吩咐我们自己为耶和华以色列的 神建殿。” 4 于是那地方的居民使犹大人的手发软，惊扰他们的建筑工程。 5 又在波斯王古列的日子，直到波斯王大利乌在位的时候，常常贿买参谋，来敌对犹大人，要破坏他们的建殿计划。
敌人上奏控告犹大人
6 亚哈随鲁在位的初期，他们写了诉状，控告犹大和耶路撒冷的居民。 7 在亚达薛西年间，比施兰、米特利达、他别和其余的同僚，也上书给波斯王亚达薛西，反对耶路撒冷人，奏文是用亚兰文写成，并且翻译了（“并且翻译了”指为亚达薛西王翻译为波斯文字；参18节）。 8 省长利宏和秘书伸帅写奏本给亚达薛西王，控告耶路撒冷。奏文如下： 9 省长利宏、秘书伸帅和他们其余的同僚：法官、钦差、议员、官长（“法官、钦差、议员、官长”或译：“底拿人、亚法萨提迦人、他毘拉人、亚法撒人”），亚基卫人、巴比伦人、书珊人，就是以拦人， 10 还有伟大尊贵的亚斯那巴掳来安置在撒玛利亚城和河西那边其余地方的居民，呈上奏文。 11 这就是他们呈给亚达薛西王的奏文副本：“你的臣仆，就是河西那边的人，上奏亚达薛西王： 12 奏知大王：从你那里上到我们这里来的犹大人，已经到了耶路撒冷这座叛逆和邪恶的城；他们进行建造，并且已经修好根基，开始建造城墙。 13 现在奏知大王：如果这城建成，墙垣筑好，他们就不再缴税、进贡和纳粮，王的国库收入必定受损。 14 现在我们既食王家的盐，不该见王受剥夺，因此上奏禀告王， 15 请王查考先王的记录，从记录中查知这城是叛逆的城，对列王和各省都有损害，自古以来，城中常有造反的事，因此这城被拆毁。 16 我们告知王，如果这城建成，墙垣筑好，河西那边的地方就不再是王的了。”
王降旨下令停工
17 王把谕旨送交省长利宏、秘书伸帅，以及其余住在撒玛利亚和河西的同僚，说：“愿你们平安。 18 你们呈给我们的奏本已经在我面前翻译和诵读了。 19 我下令考查，发现这城自古以来反叛列王，城中常有造反叛乱的事。 20 从前大能的君王统治耶路撒冷，治理河西那边的全地，接受他们缴税、进贡和纳粮。 21 现在你们要下令叫这些人停工，不得重建这城，等候我的谕令。 22 你们要留心，不可疏忽这事，使王的亏损增加。”
23 当亚达薛西王谕旨的副本在利宏和秘书伸帅，以及他们的同僚面前宣读出来以后，他们就急忙去耶路撒冷到犹大人那里，用武力强迫他们停工。 24 所以，在耶路撒冷的神殿的工程就停止了，直到波斯王大利乌在位的第二年。

建殿工作受阻
4 犹大和便雅悯的敌人听说流亡者回来要为以色列的上帝耶和华建殿， 2 就去见所罗巴伯和以色列的族长，对他们说：“请让我们与你们一同建造，因为我们像你们一样也寻求你们的上帝。自从亚述王以撒哈顿带我们到这里以后，我们就一直献祭给上帝。” 3 所罗巴伯、耶书亚和以色列其余的族长回答说：“你们不能参与建殿。遵照波斯王塞鲁士的吩咐，我们要自己为以色列的上帝耶和华建殿。”
4 于是，当地人阻挠犹大人，使他们不敢建殿， 5 从波斯王塞鲁士统治年间，一直到波斯王大流士统治期间，当地人收买谋士，破坏他们的计划。
阻扰重建耶路撒冷
6 亚哈随鲁统治初期，他们写信控告犹大和耶路撒冷的居民。
7 波斯王亚达薛西统治年间，比施兰、米特利达、他别及其同党上奏亚达薛西。奏章是用亚兰文写的，经过翻译后呈上。 8 利宏省长和伸帅书记也写了奏本给亚达薛西王，控告耶路撒冷人，内容如下： 9 “利宏省长、伸帅书记和我们的同僚底拿人、亚法萨提迦人、他毗拉人、亚法撒人、亚基卫人、巴比伦人、书珊迦人、底亥人、以拦人， 10 以及伟大尊贵的亚斯那巴迁来并安置在撒玛利亚各城与幼发拉底河西一带的人民， 11 上奏亚达薛西王，
“‘幼发拉底河西的臣民奏告亚达薛西王， 12 王该知道，从王那里到我们这里来的犹太人已经去了耶路撒冷，如今正在重建这座叛逆、罪恶之城，正在重建地基，修筑城墙。 13 王该知道，如果这城建好，城墙完工，他们将不再进贡、交赋、纳税，王的税收必受亏损。 14 我们既食王禄，就不能坐视王遭受损失，因此上奏于王。 15 请王查看先王的记录，必从中获悉这城是叛逆之城，危害列王和各省。自古以来，城中叛乱不断，因此才被毁灭。 16 我们愿王知道，这城一旦建好，城墙完工，幼发拉底河西之地就不再为王所有了。’”
17 王回复利宏省长、伸帅书记及其住在撒玛利亚与幼发拉底河西一带的同僚，说：“愿你们平安！ 18 你们呈上的奏章，经过翻译已奏报给我。 19 我已命人查考，发现这城自古以来屡屡背叛列王，是悖逆和叛乱之地。 20 强大的君王曾经统管耶路撒冷和幼发拉底河西全境，并向人们征收贡物和赋税。 21 现在你们要下令让这些人停止建造这城，等候我的谕旨。 22 要认真办理这事，不可迟延，何必容事情恶化，使王受亏损呢？”
23 利宏、伸帅书记及其同僚接到谕旨后，急忙赶往耶路撒冷，用武力强迫犹太人停工。
恢复建殿工作
24 于是，耶路撒冷上帝殿的重建工程停止了，一直停到波斯王大流士第二年。

重建聖殿的工作受攔阻
4 猶大和便雅憫的敵人聽見被擄回來的人為耶和華以色列的 神重建聖殿， 2 就前來見所羅巴伯和眾族長，對他們說：“請讓我們與你們一起建造吧！因為我們也像你們那樣尋求你們的 神。自從亞述王以撒哈頓把我們帶上這裡的日子以來，我們一直向他獻祭。” 3 但所羅巴伯、耶書亞和以色列其餘的族長對他們說：“你們不能與我們一同建築 神的殿，因為波斯王古列王吩咐我們自己為耶和華以色列的 神建殿。” 4 於是那地方的居民使猶大人的手發軟，驚擾他們的建築工程。 5 又在波斯王古列的日子，直到波斯王大利烏在位的時候，常常賄買參謀，來敵對猶大人，要破壞他們的建殿計劃。
敵人上奏控告猶大人
6 亞哈隨魯在位的初期，他們寫了訴狀，控告猶大和耶路撒冷的居民。 7 在亞達薛西年間，比施蘭、米特利達、他別和其餘的同僚，也上書給波斯王亞達薛西，反對耶路撒冷人，奏文是用亞蘭文寫成，並且翻譯了（“並且翻譯了”指為亞達薛西王翻譯為波斯文字；參18節）。 8 省長利宏和祕書伸帥寫奏本給亞達薛西王，控告耶路撒冷。奏文如下： 9 省長利宏、祕書伸帥和他們其餘的同僚：法官、欽差、議員、官長（“法官、欽差、議員、官長”或譯：“底拿人、亞法薩提迦人、他毘拉人、亞法撒人”），亞基衛人、巴比倫人、書珊人，就是以攔人， 10 還有偉大尊貴的亞斯那巴擄來安置在撒瑪利亞城和河西那邊其餘地方的居民，呈上奏文。 11 這就是他們呈給亞達薛西王的奏文副本：“你的臣僕，就是河西那邊的人，上奏亞達薛西王： 12 奏知大王：從你那裡上到我們這裡來的猶大人，已經到了耶路撒冷這座叛逆和邪惡的城；他們進行建造，並且已經修好根基，開始建造城牆。 13 現在奏知大王：如果這城建成，牆垣築好，他們就不再繳稅、進貢和納糧，王的國庫收入必定受損。 14 現在我們既食王家的鹽，不該見王受剝奪，因此上奏稟告王， 15 請王查考先王的記錄，從記錄中查知這城是叛逆的城，對列王和各省都有損害，自古以來，城中常有造反的事，因此這城被拆毀。 16 我們告知王，如果這城建成，牆垣築好，河西那邊的地方就不再是王的了。”
王降旨下令停工
17 王把諭旨送交省長利宏、祕書伸帥，以及其餘住在撒瑪利亞和河西的同僚，說：“願你們平安。 18 你們呈給我們的奏本已經在我面前翻譯和誦讀了。 19 我下令考查，發現這城自古以來反叛列王，城中常有造反叛亂的事。 20 從前大能的君王統治耶路撒冷，治理河西那邊的全地，接受他們繳稅、進貢和納糧。 21 現在你們要下令叫這些人停工，不得重建這城，等候我的諭令。 22 你們要留心，不可疏忽這事，使王的虧損增加。”
23 當亞達薛西王諭旨的副本在利宏和祕書伸帥，以及他們的同僚面前宣讀出來以後，他們就急忙去耶路撒冷到猶大人那裡，用武力強迫他們停工。 24 所以，在耶路撒冷的神殿的工程就停止了，直到波斯王大利烏在位的第二年。

Opposition to the Rebuilding
4 When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the exiles were building(A) a temple for the Lord, the God of Israel, 2 they came to Zerubbabel and to the heads of the families and said, “Let us help you build because, like you, we seek your God and have been sacrificing to him since the time of Esarhaddon(B) king of Assyria, who brought us here.”(C)
3 But Zerubbabel, Joshua and the rest of the heads of the families of Israel answered, “You have no part with us in building a temple to our God. We alone will build it for the Lord, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus, the king of Persia, commanded us.”(D)
4 Then the peoples around them set out to discourage the people of Judah and make them afraid to go on building.[a](E) 5 They bribed officials to work against them and frustrate their plans during the entire reign of Cyrus king of Persia and down to the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Later Opposition Under Xerxes and Artaxerxes
6 At the beginning of the reign of Xerxes,[b](F) they lodged an accusation against the people of Judah and Jerusalem.(G)
7 And in the days of Artaxerxes(H) king of Persia, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel and the rest of his associates wrote a letter to Artaxerxes. The letter was written in Aramaic script and in the Aramaic(I) language.[c][d]
8 Rehum the commanding officer and Shimshai the secretary wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king as follows:
9 Rehum the commanding officer and Shimshai the secretary, together with the rest of their associates(J)—the judges, officials and administrators over the people from Persia, Uruk(K) and Babylon, the Elamites of Susa,(L) 10 and the other people whom the great and honorable Ashurbanipal(M) deported and settled in the city of Samaria and elsewhere in Trans-Euphrates.(N)
11 (This is a copy of the letter they sent him.)
To King Artaxerxes,
From your servants in Trans-Euphrates:
12 The king should know that the people who came up to us from you have gone to Jerusalem and are rebuilding that rebellious and wicked city. They are restoring the walls and repairing the foundations.(O)
13 Furthermore, the king should know that if this city is built and its walls are restored, no more taxes, tribute or duty(P) will be paid, and eventually the royal revenues will suffer.[e] 14 Now since we are under obligation to the palace and it is not proper for us to see the king dishonored, we are sending this message to inform the king, 15 so that a search may be made in the archives(Q) of your predecessors. In these records you will find that this city is a rebellious city, troublesome to kings and provinces, a place with a long history of sedition. That is why this city was destroyed.(R) 16 We inform the king that if this city is built and its walls are restored, you will be left with nothing in Trans-Euphrates.
17 The king sent this reply:
To Rehum the commanding officer, Shimshai the secretary and the rest of their associates living in Samaria and elsewhere in Trans-Euphrates:(S)
Greetings.
18 The letter you sent us has been read and translated in my presence. 19 I issued an order and a search was made, and it was found that this city has a long history of revolt(T) against kings and has been a place of rebellion and sedition. 20 Jerusalem has had powerful kings ruling over the whole of Trans-Euphrates,(U) and taxes, tribute and duty were paid to them. 21 Now issue an order to these men to stop work, so that this city will not be rebuilt until I so order. 22 Be careful not to neglect this matter. Why let this threat grow, to the detriment of the royal interests?(V)
23 As soon as the copy of the letter of King Artaxerxes was read to Rehum and Shimshai the secretary and their associates,(W) they went immediately to the Jews in Jerusalem and compelled them by force to stop.
24 Thus the work on the house of God in Jerusalem came to a standstill until the second year of the reign of Darius(X) king of Persia.

Ezra 4
King James Version
4 Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity builded the temple unto the Lord God of Israel;
2 Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assur, which brought us up hither.
3 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the Lord God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us.
4 Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,
5 And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
6 And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they unto him an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
7 And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.
8 Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:
9 Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Elamites,
10 And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnapper brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the river, and at such a time.
11 This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto him, even unto Artaxerxes the king; Thy servants the men on this side the river, and at such a time.
12 Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls thereof, and joined the foundations.
13 Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings.
14 Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;
15 That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.
16 We certify the king that, if this city be builded again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river.
17 Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and unto the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time.
18 The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me.
19 And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein.
20 There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them.
21 Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be given from me.
22 Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?
23 Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.
24 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
