KJV

1  Then116 Darius1868 the king4430 made7761 a decree,2942 and search was made1240 in the house1005 of the rolls,5609 where1768 8536 the treasures1596 were laid up5182 in Babylon.895

2  And there was found7912 at Achmetha,307 in the palace1001 that1768 is in the province4083 of the Medes,4076 a2298 roll,4040 and therein1459 was a record1799 thus3652 written:3790

3  In the first2298 year8140 of Cyrus3567 the king4430 the same Cyrus3567 the king4430 made7761 a decree2942 concerning the house1005 of God426 at Jerusalem,3390 Let the house1005 be built,1124 the place870 where1768 they offered1684 sacrifices,1685 and let the foundations787 thereof be strongly laid;5446 the height7314 thereof threescore8361 cubits,521 and the breadth6613 thereof threescore8361 cubits;521

4  With three8532 rows5073 of1768 great1560 stones,69 and a row5073 of1768 new2323 timber:636 and let the expenses5313 be given3052 out of4481 the king's4430 house:1005

5  And also638 let the golden1722 and silver3702 vessels3984 of the house1005 of God,426 which1768 Nebuchadnezzar5020 took forth5312 out of4481 the temple1965 which1768 is at Jerusalem,3390 and brought2987 unto Babylon,895 be restored,8421 and brought again1946 unto the temple1965 which1768 is at Jerusalem,3390 every one to his place,870 and place5182 them in the house1005 of God.426

6  Now3705 therefore, Tatnai,8674 governor6347 beyond5675 the river,5103 Shethar-boznai,8370 and your companions3675 the Apharsachites,671 which1768 are beyond5675 the river,5103 be1934 ye far7352 from4481 thence:8536

7  Let the work5673 of this1791 house1005 of God426 alone;7662 let the governor6347 of the Jews3062 and the elders7868 of the Jews3062 build1124 this1791 house1005 of God426 in5922 his place.870

8  Moreover I make7761 a decree2942 what3964 1768 ye shall do5648 to5974 the elders7868 of these479 Jews3062 for the building1124 of this1791 house1005 of God:426 that of the king's goods,4481 5232 4430 even of1768 the tribute4061 beyond5675 the river,5103 forthwith629 expenses5313 be1934 given3052 unto these479 men,1400 that1768 they be not3809 hindered.989

9  And that4100 which they have need of,2818 both young1123 bullocks,8450 and rams,1798 and lambs,563 for the burnt offerings5928 of the God426 of heaven,8065 wheat,2591 salt,4416 wine,2562 and oil,4887 according to the appointment3983 of the priests3549 which1768 are at Jerusalem,3390 let it be1934 given3052 them day3118 by day3118 without1768 3809 fail:7960

10  That1768 they may1934 offer7127 sacrifices of sweet savors5208 unto the God426 of heaven,8065 and pray6739 for the life2417 of the king,4430 and of his sons.1123

11  Also I have made7761 a decree,2942 that1768 whosoever3606 606 1768 shall alter8133 this1836 word,6600 let timber636 be pulled down5256 from4481 his house,1005 and being set up,2211 let him be hanged4223 thereon;5922 and let his house1005 be made5648 a dunghill5122 for5922 this.1836

12  And the God426 that1768 hath caused his name8036 to dwell7932 there8536 destroy4049 all3606 kings4430 and people,5972 that1768 shall put7972 to their hand3028 to alter8133 and to destroy2255 this1791 house1005 of God426 which1768 is at Jerusalem.3390 I576 Darius1868 have made7761 a decree;2942 let it be done5648 with speed.629

13  Then116 Tatnai,8674 governor6347 on this side5675 the river,5103 Shethar-boznai,8370 and their companions,3675 according to6903 that which1768 Darius1868 the king4430 had sent,7972 so3660 they did5648 speedily.629

14  And the elders7868 of the Jews3062 built,1124 and they prospered6744 through the prophesying5017 of Haggai2292 the prophet5029 and Zechariah2148 the son1247 of Iddo.5714 And they built,1124 and finished3635 it, according4481 to the commandment2941 of the God426 of Israel,3479 and according to4481 the commandment2942 of Cyrus,3567 and Darius,1868 and Artaxerxes783 king4430 of Persia.6540

15  And this1836 house1005 was finished3319 on5705 the third8532 day3118 of the month3393 Adar,144 which1768 was in the sixth8353 year8140 of the reign4437 of Darius1868 the king.4430

16  And the children1123 of Israel,3479 the priests,3549 and the Levites,3879 and the rest7606 of the children1123 of the captivity,1547 kept5648 the dedication2597 of this1836 house1005 of God426 with joy,2305

17  And offered7127 at the dedication2597 of this1836 house1005 of God426 a hundred3969 bullocks,8450 two hundred3969 rams,1798 four703 hundred3969 lambs;563 and for a sin offering2409 for5922 all3606 Israel,3479 twelve8648 6236 he goats,6841 5796 according to the number4510 of the tribes7625 of Israel.3479

18  And they set6966 the priests3549 in their divisions,6392 and the Levites3879 in their courses,4255 for5922 the service5673 of God,426 which1768 is at Jerusalem;3390 as it is written3792 in the book5609 of Moses.4873

19  And the children1121 of the captivity1473 kept6213 853 the passover6453 upon the fourteenth702 6240 day of the first7223 month.2320

20  For3588 the priests3548 and the Levites3881 were purified2891 together,259 all3605 of them were pure,2889 and killed7819 the passover6453 for all3605 the children1121 of the captivity,1473 and for their brethren251 the priests,3548 and for themselves.

21  And the children1121 of Israel,3478 which were come again7725 out of captivity,4480 1473 and all3605 such as had separated themselves914 unto413 them from the filthiness4480 2932 of the heathen1471 of the land,776 to seek1875 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 did eat,398

22  And kept6213 the feast2282 of unleavened bread4682 seven7651 days3117 with joy:8057 for3588 the LORD3068 had made them joyful,8055 and turned5437 the heart3820 of the king4428 of Assyria804 unto5921 them, to strengthen2388 their hands3027 in the work4399 of the house1004 of God,430 the God430 of Israel.3478

1 Tunc Darius rex præcepit: et recensuerunt in bibliotheca librorum, qui erant repositi in Babylone.

2 Et inventum est in Ecbatanis, quod est castrum in Medena provincia, volumen unum: talisque scriptus erat in eo commentarius:

3 Anno primo Cyri regis, Cyrus rex decrevit ut domus Dei ædificaretur, quæ est in Jerusalem, in loco ubi immolent hostias, et ut ponant fundamenta supportantia altitudinem cubitorum sexaginta, et latitudinem cubitorum sexaginta,

4 ordines de lapidibus impolitis tres, et sic ordines de lignis novis: sumptus autem de domo regis dabuntur.

5 Sed et vasa templi Dei aurea et argentea, quæ Nabuchodonosor tulerat de templo Jerusalem, et attulerat ea in Babylonem, reddantur, et referantur in templum in Jerusalem in locum suum, quæ et posita sunt in templo Dei.

6 Nunc ergo Thathanai dux regionis, quæ est trans flumen, Stharbuzanai, et consiliarii vestri Apharsachæi, qui estis trans flumen, procul recedite ab illis,

7 et dimittite fieri templum Dei illud a duce Judæorum, et a senioribus eorum, ut domum Dei illam ædificent in loco suo.

8 Sed et a me præceptum est quid oporteat fieri a presbyteris Judæorum illis ut ædificetur domus Dei, scilicet ut de arca regis, id est, de tributis quæ dantur de regione trans flumen, studiose sumptus dentur viris illis, ne impediatur opus.

9 Quod si necesse fuerit, et vitulos, et agnos, et hædos in holocaustum Deo cæli, frumentum, sal, vinum, et oleum, secundum ritum sacerdotum, qui sunt in Jerusalem, detur eis per singulos dies, ne sit in aliquo querimonia.

10 Et offerant oblationes Deo cæli, orentque pro vita regis, et filiorum ejus.

11 A me ergo positum est decretum: ut omnis homo qui hanc mutaverit jussionem, tollatur lignum de domum ipsius, et erigatur, et configatur in eo, domus autem ejus publicetur.

12 Deus autem, qui habitare fecit nomen suum ibi, dissipet omnia regna, et populum qui extenderit manum suam ut repugnet, et dissipet domum Dei illam, quæ est in Jerusalem. Ego Darius statui decretum, quod studiose impleri volo.

13 Igitur Thathanai dux regionis trans flumen, et Stharbuzanai, et consiliarii ejus, secundum quod præceperat Darius rex, sic diligenter executi sunt.

14 Seniores autem Judæorum ædificabant, et prosperabantur juxta prophetiam Aggæi prophetæ, et Zachariæ filii Addo: et ædificaverunt et construxerunt, jubente Deo Israël, et jubente Cyro, et Dario, et Artaxerxe regibus Persarum:

15 et compleverunt domum Dei istam, usque ad diem tertium mensis Adar, qui est annus sextus regni Darii regis.

16 Fecerunt autem filii Israël sacerdotes et Levitæ, et reliqui filiorum transmigrationis, dedicationem domus Dei in gaudio.

17 Et obtulerunt in dedicationem domus Dei, vitulos centum, arietes ducentos, agnos quadringentos, hircos caprarum pro peccato totius Israël duodecim, juxta numerum tribuum Israël.

18 Et statuerunt sacerdotes in ordinibus suis, et Levitas in vicibus suis, super opera Dei in Jerusalem, sicut scriptum est in libro Moysi.

19 Fecerunt autem filii Israël transmigrationis Pascha, quartadecima die mensis primi.

20 Purificati enim fuerant sacerdotes et Levitæ quasi unus: omnes mundi ad immolandum Pascha universis filiis transmigrationis, et fratribus suis sacerdotibus, et sibi.

21 Et comederunt filii Israël, qui reversi fuerant de transmigratione, et omnes qui se separaverant a coinquinatione gentium terræ ad eos, ut quærerent Dominum Deum Israël.

22 Et fecerunt solemnitatem azymorum septem diebus in lætitia, quoniam lætificaverat eos Dominus, et converterat cor regis Assur ad eos, ut adjuvaret manus eorum in opere domus Domini Dei Israël.
