4 Y oyendo los enemigos de Judá y de Benjamín, que los hijos de la cautividad edificaban el templo del SEÑOR Dios de Israel,
2 vinieron a Zorobabel, y a las cabezas de los padres, y les dijeron: Edificaremos con vosotros, porque como vosotros buscaremos a vuestro Dios, y a él sacrificamos desde los días de Esar-hadón rey de Asiria, que nos hizo subir aquí.
3 Y les dijo Zorobabel, y Jesúa, y los demás cabezas de los padres de Israel: No nos conviene edificar con vosotros Casa a nuestro Dios, sino que nosotros solos la edificaremos al SEÑOR Dios de Israel, como nos mandó el rey Ciro, rey de Persia.
4 Mas el pueblo de la tierra debilitaba las manos del pueblo de Judá, y los perturbaban de edificar.
5 Contrataron además contra ellos consejeros para disipar su consejo, todo el tiempo de Ciro rey de Persia, y hasta el reinado de Darío rey de Persia.
6 Y en el reinado de Asuero, en el principio de su reinado, escribieron acusaciones contra los moradores de Judá y de Jerusalén.
7 Y en días de Artajerjes escribieron Bislam, Mitrídates, Tabeel, y los demás compañeros suyos, a Artajerjes rey de Persia; y la escritura de la carta estaba hecha en siriaco, y declarada en siriaco.
8 Rehum canciller, y Simsai escriba, escribieron una carta contra Jerusalén al rey Artajerjes, como se sigue.
9 Entonces Rehum canciller, y Simsai escriba, y los demás compañeros suyos, los dineos, afarsataceos, tefarleos, afarseos, ercueos, babilonios, susasceos, dieveos, y los elamitas;
10 y los demás pueblos que el grande y glorioso Asnapar (Senaquerib) transportó, e hizo habitar en las ciudades de Samaria, y los demás del otro lado del río, y de Cheenet.
11 Este es el traslado de la carta que enviaron: Al rey Artajerjes: Tus siervos del otro lado del río, y de Cheenet.
12 Sea notorio al rey, que los judíos que subieron de ti a nosotros, vinieron a Jerusalén; y edifican la ciudad rebelde y mala, y han fundado los muros; y puesto los fundamentos.
13 Ahora, notorio sea al rey, que si aquella ciudad fuere reedificada, y los muros fueren fundados, no darán el tributo, impuesto, y rentas, y el catastro de los reyes será menoscabado.
14 Ahora porque de la sal del palacio estamos salados, no nos es justo ver el menosprecio del rey; por tanto hemos enviado para hacerlo saber al rey,
15 para que busque en el libro de las historias de nuestros padres; y hallarás en el libro de las historias, y sabrás que esta ciudad es ciudad rebelde, y perjudicial a los reyes y a las provincias, y que de tiempo antiguo forman en medio de ella rebeliones; por lo que esta ciudad fue destruida.
16 Hacemos saber al rey, que si esta ciudad fuere edificada, y los muros fundados, la parte más allá del río no será tuya.
17 El rey envió esta respuesta a Rehum canciller, y a Simsai escriba, y a los demás de sus compañeros que habitan en Samaria, y a los demás del otro lado del río y a Cheenet:
18 La carta que nos enviasteis claramente fue leída delante de mí.
19 Y por mí fue dado mandamiento, y buscaron; y hallaron que aquella ciudad de tiempo antiguo se levanta contra los reyes, y se rebela, y se forma en ella sedición;
20 y que reyes fuertes hubo en Jerusalén, y señores de todo lo que está al lado de allá del río; y que tributo, e impuesto, y rentas se les daba.
21 Ahora, pues, dad orden que cesen aquellos varones, y no sea esa ciudad edificada, hasta que por mí sea dada nueva orden.
22 Y mirad bien que no hagáis error en esto, ¿por qué habrá de crecer el daño para perjuicio de los reyes?
23 Entonces, cuando el traslado de la carta del rey Artajerjes fue leído delante de Rehum, y de Simsai escriba, y sus compañeros, fueron prestamente a Jerusalén a los judíos, y les hicieron cesar con poder y fuerza.
24 Cesó entonces la obra de la Casa de Dios, la cual estaba en Jerusalén; y cesó hasta el año segundo del reinado de Darío rey de Persia.

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.

4 А неприятелите на Юда и на Вениамина, като чуха, че върналите се от плена строели храма на Господа Израилевия Бог,
2 дойдоха при Зоровавела и при началниците на бащините <домове> та им рекоха: Да градим с вас; защото и ние търсим вашия Бог както вие Нему и жертвуваме от времето на Асирийския цар Есарадон, който ни възведе тук.
3 Но Зоровавел, Исус и останалите началници на Израилевите бащини <домове> им рекоха: Не можете вие заедно с нас да построите дом на нашия Бог; но ние сами ще построим на Господа Израилевия Бог, както ни заповяда персийският цар Кир.
4 Тогава людете на земята ослабваха ръцете на Юдовите люде и им пречеха в граденето,
5 и наемаха съветници против тях, за да осуетят намерението им, през всичките дни на персийския цар Кир, дори до царуването на персийския цар Дарий.
6 И когато царуваше Асуир, в началото на царуването му, написаха обвинение против жителите на Юда и Ерусалим.
7 В дните на Артаксеркса писаха Вислам, Митридат, Тавеил и другите им съслужители до персийския цар Артаксеркс; и писмото се написа със сирийски <букви> и се съчини на сирийски <език>.
8 Властникът Реум, и секретарят Самса писаха писмо против Ерусалим до цар Артаксеркса както следва:
9 Властникът Реум, секретарят Самса и другите им съслужители, динците, афарсахците, тарфалците, афарсяните, архевците, вавилоняните, сусанците, деавците, еламците
10 и останалите народи, които великият и славният Асенафар доведе та засели в градовете на Самария и в другите <градове> оттатък реката, и прочее, -
11 (ето препис от писмото, което пратиха на цар Артаксеркса, -) Слугите ти, мъжете, които са оттатък реката, и прочее:
12 Да е известно на царя, че юдеите, които възлязоха от тебе при нас, като стигнаха в Ерусалим, градят бунтовния и злия град, и издигат стената като са свързали основите.
13 Да е известно сега на царя, че, ако се съгради тоя град и се издигнат стените, то няма да плащат данък, мито, или пътна повинност, така щото ще повредят дохода на царете.
14 А понеже ние се храним от палата, и е неприлично за нас да гледаме вредата, <която ще се нанесе> на царя, за това пратихме да известим на царя,
15 за да се издири в книгата на летописите на бащите ти; и ще намериш в книгата на летописите и ще узнаеш, че тоя град е град бунтовен, пакостен на царете и на областите, и че още от старо време са дигали въстания всред него, за която вина тоя град е бил опустошен.
16 Известяваме на царя, че, ако тоя град се съгради <наново>, и се издигнат стените му, не ще имаш никакво притежание отсам реката.
17 Царят отговори на властника Реум, на секретаря Самса и на другите им съслужители, които живееха в Самария и в другите <градове> отсам реката: Мир и прочее.
18 Писмото, което ни пратихте, прочете се разумливо пред мене,
19 и като издадох указ, издириха и намериха, че тоя град още от старо време се е подигал против царете, и че в него са ставали бунтове и въстания.
20 Имало още и силни царе над Ерусалим, които владеели над всичките <страни> оттатък реката, на които се плащало данък, мито и пътна повинност.
21 Сега, прочее, заповядайте да престанат ония мъже и да се не съгради тоя град, докле не се издаде указ от мене.
22 И внимавайте да не бъдете небрежливи в това, да не би да порасте злото за щета на царете.
23 А когато се прочете преписът от цар Артаксерксовото писмо пред Реума и секретаря Самса и служителите им, побързаха да възлязат в Ерусалим при юдеите та ги спряха на сила.
24 Така престана работата по Божия дом, който е в Ерусалим, и остана спряна до втората година от царуването на персийския цар Дарий.

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.
