1Now when the adversaries of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] heard that the children of the captivity built the temple unto the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] ;
2Then they came to Z’rubavel [sown in Babylon] , and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] , as you2f [do] ; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esar-Hadon [Ashur has given a brother] king of Ashur [a step] , which brought us up here.
3But Z’rubavel [sown in Babylon] , and Yeshua [he is saved] , and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , said unto them, You2f have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] ; but we ourselves together will build unto the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , as king Koresh (Cyrus) [possess you the furnace] the king of Paras (Persia) [pure or splendid] has commanded us.
4Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , and troubled them in building,
5And hired counselors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Koresh (Cyrus) [possess you the furnace] king of Paras (Persia) [pure or splendid] , even until the reign of Daryavesh (Darius) [lord] king of Paras (Persia) [pure or splendid] .
6And in the reign of Achashverosh [I will be silent and poor] , in the beginning of his reign, wrote they [unto him] an accusation against the inhabitants of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] .
7And in the days of Artach’shashta [I will make the spoiled to boil: I will stir myself (in) winter] wrote Bishlam [in peace] , Mitr’dat [given by Mithra (covenant)] , Tav’el [God is good] , and the rest of their companions, unto Artach’shashta [I will make the spoiled to boil: I will stir myself (in) winter] king of Paras (Persia) [pure or splendid] ; and the writing of the letter [was] written in the Arami [exalted] tongue, and interpreted in the Arami [exalted] tongue.
8Rechum [compassion] the chancellor and Shimshai (sunny) the scribe wrote a letter against Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] to Artach’shashta [I will make the spoiled to boil: I will stir myself (in) winter] the king in this sort:
9Then [wrote] Rechum [compassion] the chancellor, and Shimshai (sunny) the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dina’im [judgment] , the Afarsat’khim [meaning disputed] , the Tarp’lim [they are fallen] , the Afarsim [meaning disputed] , the Ark’vim [lengthy] , the Bavlim [confusion (my mixing)] , the Shushan’kayim [lily] , the Dehayim [the sickly] , [and] the ‘Elma’im [their heaps] ,
10And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnappar [horned bull] brought over, and set in the cities of Shomron [watch mountain] , and the rest [that are] on this side the river, and at such a time.
11This [is] the copy of the letter that they sent unto him, [even] unto Artach’shashta [I will make the spoiled to boil: I will stir myself (in) winter] the king; You1s servants the men on this side the river, and at such a time.
12Be it known unto the king, that the Y’hudim (Judeans) which came up from youi to us are come unto Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] , building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls [thereof] , and joined the foundations.
13Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be built, and the walls set up [again, then] will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and [so] youi shall damage the revenue of the kings.
14Now 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;
15That search may be made in the book of the records of youi fathers: so shall youi 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.
16We certify the king that, if this city be built [again] , and the walls thereof set up, by this means youi shall have no portion on this side the river.
17[Then] sent the king an answer unto Rechum [compassion] the chancellor, and [to] Shimshai (sunny) the scribe, and [to] the rest of their companions that dwell in Shomron [watch mountain] , and [unto] the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time.
18The letter which you2f sent unto us has been plainly read before me.
19And I commanded, and search has been made, and it is found that this city of old time has made insurrection against kings, and [that] rebellion and sedition have been made in it.
20There have been mighty kings also over Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] , which have ruled over all [countries] beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them.
21Give you2f now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not built, until [another] commandment shall be given from me.
22Take heed now that you2f fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?
23Now when the copy of king Artach’shashta [I will make the spoiled to boil: I will stir myself (in) winter] ’ letter [was] read before Rechum [compassion] , and Shimshai (sunny) the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] unto the Y’hudim (Judeans) , and made them to cease by force and power.
24Then ceased the work of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] which [is] at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] . So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Daryavesh (Darius) [lord] king of Paras (Persia) [pure or splendid] .
