Ездра 5
Библия, ревизирано издание
Начало на храмовия строеж
5 (A)А пророците Агей и Захария, Идовият син, пророкуваха в името на Израилевия Бог на юдеите, които бяха в Юдея и Йерусалим.
2 (B)Тогава станаха Зоровавел, Салатииловият син, и Исус, Йоседековият син, и почнаха да строят Божия дом, който е в Йерусалим; с тях бяха Божиите пророци и им помагаха.
3 (C)А в същото време при тях дойдоха областният управител отсам реката Татанай и Сетар-вознай, и съслужителите им, и им казаха така: Кой ви разреши да строите този дом и да издигнете тази стена?
4 (D)После ги попитаха: Какви са имената на мъжете, които строят това здание?
5 (E)Но върху старейшините на юдеите беше окото на техния Бог, така че те не можаха да ги спрат, докато работата не беше отнесена до Дарий и тогава да бъде даден писмен отговор за работата.
6 (F)Ето препис от писмото, което областният управител отсам реката Татанай и Сетар-вознай, и съслужителите му, афарсахците, които са отсам реката, пратиха до цар Дарий.
7 Пратиха му писмо, в което беше писано така: На цар Дарий всяко благополучие!
8 Да бъде известено на царя, че ходихме в Юдейската област при дома на великия Бог; и той се зида с големи камъни и се поставят дървета в стените; и това дело напредва прилежно и успява в ръцете им.
9 (G)Тогава попитахме онези старейшини и им казахме така: Кой ви разреши да строите този дом и да издигате тези стени?
10 Още и за имената им попитахме, за да ти кажем и да запишем имената на мъжете, които са им начело.
11 (H)А те ни отговориха така: Ние сме слуги на Бога на небето и земята и строим дома, който е бил построен вече преди много години, който дом един велик Израилев цар построи и довърши.
12 (I)Но понеже бащите ни разгневиха Бога на небето, Той ги предаде в ръката на вавилонския цар Навуходоносор, халдееца, който събори този дом и пресели народа във Вавилон.
13 (J)Но в първата година на вавилонския цар Кир той издаде указ, за да бъде построен този Божий дом.
14 (K)Още и златните и сребърните вещи на Божия дом, които Навуходоносор беше взел от храма, който беше в Йерусалим, и беше отнесъл в храма във Вавилон, тях цар Кир извади от вавилонския храм и те бяха предадени на някой си по име Сасавасар, когото беше направил областен управител;
15 и царят му каза: Вземи тези вещи, иди, занеси ги в храма, който е в Йерусалим, и нека Божият дом бъде построен на мястото си.
16 (L)Тогава този Сасавасар дойде и положи основите на Божия дом, който е в Йерусалим; и от онова време дори досега той се строи и още не е довършен.
17 (M)И така, сега, ако е угодно на царя, нека бъде издирено в царската съкровищница, там, във Вавилон, дали наистина е бил издаден указ от цар Кир, за да бъде построен този Божий дом в Йерусалим; и нека царят изпрати да ни извести волята си в случая.
Ezra 5
New King James Version
Restoration of the Temple Resumed(A)
5 Then the prophet (B)Haggai and (C)Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophets, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them. 2 So (D)Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of [a]Jozadak rose up and began to build the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and (E)the prophets of God were with them, helping them.
3 At the same time (F)Tattenai the governor of the region beyond [b]the River and Shethar-Boznai and their companions came to them and spoke thus to them: (G)“Who has commanded you to build this [c]temple and finish this wall?” 4 (H)Then, accordingly, we told them the names of the men who were constructing this building. 5 But (I)the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, so that they could not make them cease till a report could go to Darius. Then a (J)written answer was returned concerning this matter. 6 This is a copy of the letter that Tattenai sent:
The governor of the region beyond the River, and Shethar-Boznai, (K)and his companions, the Persians who were in the region beyond the River, to Darius the king.
7 (They sent a letter to him, in which was written thus.)
To Darius the king:
All peace.
8 Let it be known to the king that we went into the province of Judea, to the [d]temple of the great God, which is being built with [e]heavy stones, and timber is being laid in the walls; and this work goes on diligently and prospers in their hands.
9 Then we asked those elders, and spoke thus to them: (L)“Who commanded you to build this temple and to finish these walls?” 10 We also asked them their names to inform you, that we might write the names of the men who were chief among them.
11 And thus they returned us an answer, saying: “We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the [f]temple that was built many years ago, which a great king of Israel built (M)and completed. 12 But (N)because our fathers provoked the God of heaven to wrath, He gave them into the hand of (O)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this temple and (P)carried the people away to Babylon. 13 However, in the first year of (Q)Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree to build this [g]house of God. 14 Also, (R)the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that was in Jerusalem and carried into the temple of Babylon—those King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon, and they were given to (S)one named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor. 15 And he said to him, ‘Take these articles; go, carry them to the temple site that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its former site.’ 16 Then the same Sheshbazzar came and (T)laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem; but from that time even until now it has been under construction, and (U)it is not finished.”
17 Now therefore, if it seems good to the king, (V)let a search be made in the king’s treasure house, which is there in Babylon, whether it is so that a decree was issued by King Cyrus to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send us his pleasure concerning this matter.

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.
Esdras 5
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Se reinicia la reconstrucción del templo
5 Los profetas Hageo y Zacarías hijo de Idó profetizaron a los judíos que estaban en Judá y Jerusalén, en el nombre del Dios de Israel, que velaba por ellos. 2 Entonces Zorobabel hijo de Salatiel y Jesúa hijo de Josadac se dispusieron a continuar la reconstrucción del templo de Dios en Jerusalén. Y los profetas estaban con ellos ayudándolos.
3 En ese mismo tiempo, Tatenay, gobernador de la provincia al oeste del río Éufrates, y Setar Bosnay y sus compañeros se presentaron ante los judíos y les preguntaron: «¿Quién os autorizó a reconstruir ese templo y restaurar su estructura?» 4 Y añadieron:[a] «¿Cómo se llaman los que están reconstruyendo ese edificio?» 5 Pero, como Dios velaba por los dirigentes judíos, no los obligaron a interrumpir el trabajo hasta que se consultara a Darío y este respondiera por escrito.
6 Entonces Tatenay, gobernador de la provincia al oeste del río Éufrates, y Setar Bosnay y sus compañeros, que eran los funcionarios del gobierno de esa provincia, enviaron una carta al rey Darío, 7 la cual decía:
Al rey Darío:
Un cordial saludo.
8 Ponemos en conocimiento del rey que fuimos a la provincia de Judá, al templo del gran Dios, y vimos que se está reconstruyendo con grandes piedras, y que sus paredes se están recubriendo con madera. El trabajo se hace con esmero y avanza rápidamente.
9 A los dirigentes les preguntamos quién les había autorizado a reconstruir ese templo y restaurar su estructura, 10 y cómo se llaman los que dirigen la obra, para comunicárselo por escrito al rey.
11 Ellos nos respondieron:
«Somos siervos del Dios del cielo y de la tierra, y estamos reconstruyendo el templo que fue edificado y terminado hace ya mucho tiempo por un gran rey de Israel. 12 Pero, como nuestros antepasados provocaron a ira al Dios del cielo, él los entregó en manos de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, el caldeo que destruyó este templo y que llevó al pueblo cautivo a Babilonia.
13 »Pero más tarde, en el primer año de su reinado, Ciro, rey de Babilonia, ordenó que este templo de Dios fuera reconstruido. 14 También hizo sacar del templo de Babilonia los utensilios de oro y de plata que Nabucodonosor se había llevado del templo de Jerusalén y había puesto en el templo de Babilonia, y se los entregó a Sesbasar, a quien había nombrado gobernador. 15 Ciro, pues, ordenó a Sesbasar que tomara esos utensilios y los devolviera al templo de Jerusalén, y que reedificara en el mismo sitio el templo de Dios. 16 Entonces Sesbasar llegó a Jerusalén y echó los cimientos del templo de Dios. Desde entonces se ha estado trabajando en su reconstrucción, pero aún no se ha terminado».
17 Ahora bien, si el rey lo considera conveniente, pedimos que se investiguen los archivos donde están las crónicas de los reyes de Babilonia, para saber si es verdad que el rey Ciro ordenó la reconstrucción del templo de Dios en Jerusalén. Además, solicitamos que se nos dé a conocer la decisión del rey con respecto a este asunto.
