Ezra 5:15-17
King James Version
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.

Ezra 5:15-17
English Standard Version
15 and he said to him, “Take these vessels, go and put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its site.” 16 Then this (A)Sheshbazzar came and (B)laid the foundations of the house of God that is in Jerusalem, and from that time until now it has been in building, and it is (C)not yet finished.’ 17 Therefore, if it seems good to the king, (D)let search be made in the royal archives there in Babylon, to see whether a decree was issued by Cyrus the king for the rebuilding of this house of God in Jerusalem. And let the king send us his pleasure in this matter.”

Ezra 5:15-17
Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
15 Kongen skulle have givet Sheshbatzar ordre til at returnere karrene til Jerusalem og genopbygge Guds tempel på dets gamle plads. 16 Derfor påstås det, at Sheshbatzar var den, der kom og lagde fundamentet til templet i Jerusalem. Lige siden da har folket arbejdet på genopbygningen, men det er dog endnu ikke færdigt.
17 Hvis det kan behage kongen, vil vi derfor anmode om, at man gennemsøger det kongelige bibliotek i Babylon for at finde ud af, om kong Kyros overhovedet har udstedt en sådan befaling. Vi vil så afvente kongens afgørelse i denne sag.

Ezra 5:15-17
International Standard Version
15 “And Cyrus[a] told him, ‘Take these utensils, go to Jerusalem, and carry them to the Temple, after the Temple of God has been built[b] in its appropriate place.’
16 “Then this very same Sheshbazzar arrived and laid the foundations for the Temple of God in Jerusalem. Since that time until now the Temple has been under construction and is not yet completed.”
17 Accordingly, with your approval we suggest that[c] a search be conducted within the king’s treasury at Babylon to verify[d] whether or not King Cyrus ever issued such a decree to reconstruct this Temple of God in Jerusalem. Then please notify us concerning the king’s pleasure in this matter.
