5:1 Then the prophets [H5029] , Haggai [H2292] the prophet [H5029] , and Zechariah [H2148] the son [H1247] of Iddo [H5714] , prophesied [H5013] unto [H5922] the Jews [H3062] that [were] in Judah [H3061] and Jerusalem [H3390] in the name [H8036] of the God [H426] of Israel [H3479] , [even] unto [H5922] them.

5:2 Then [H116] rose up [H6966] Zerubbabel [H2217] the son [H1247] of Shealtiel [H7598] , and Jeshua [H3443] the son [H1247] of Jozadak [H3136] , and began [H8271] to build [H1124] the house [H1005] of God [H426] which [is] at Jerusalem [H3390] : and with them [H5974] [were] the prophets [H5029] of God [H426] helping [H5583] them.

5:3 At the same time [H2166] came [H858] to them Tatnai [H8674] , governor [H6347] on this side [H5675] the river [H5103] , and Shetharboznai [H8370] , and their companions [H3675] , and said [H560] thus [H3652] unto them [H5922] , Who [H4479] hath commanded [H7761] [H2942] you to build [H1124] this [H1836] house [H1005] , and to make up [H3635] this [H1836] wall [H846] ?

5:4 Then [H116] said [H560] we unto them after this manner [H3660] , What [H4479] are [H581] the names [H8036] of the men [H1400] that make [H1124] this [H1836] building [H1147] ?(make: Chaldee, build)

5:5 But the eye [H5870] of their God [H426] was [H1934] upon [H5922] the elders [H7868] of the Jews [H3062] , that they could not [H3809] cause [H989] them [H1994] to cease [H989] , till [H5705] the matter [H2941] came [H1946] to Darius [H1868] : and then [H116] they returned answer [H8421] by letter [H5407] concerning [H5922] this [H1836] [matter].

5:6 The copy [H6573] of the letter [H104] that Tatnai [H8674] , governor [H6347] on this side [H5675] the river [H5103] , and Shetharboznai [H8370] , and his companions [H3675] the Apharsachites [H671] , which [were] on this side [H5675] the river [H5103] , sent [H7972] unto [H5922] Darius [H1868] the king [H4430] :

5:7 They sent [H7972] a letter [H6600] unto [H5922] him, wherein [H1459] was written [H3790] thus [H1836] ; Unto Darius [H1868] the king [H4430] , all [H3606] peace [H8001] .(wherein: Chaldee, in the midst whereof)

5:8 Be it known [H1934] [H3046] unto the king [H4430] , that we went [H236] into the province [H4083] of Judea [H3061] , to the house [H1005] of the great [H7229] God [H426] , which is builded [H1124] with great [H1560] stones [H69] , and timber [H636] is laid [H7761] in the walls [H3797] , and this [H1791] work [H5673] goeth [H5648] fast [H629] on, and prospereth [H6744] in their hands [H3028] .(great: Chaldee, stones of rolling)

5:9 Then [H116] asked [H7593] we those [H479] elders [H7868] , [and] said [H560] unto them thus [H3660] , Who [H4479] commanded [H7761] [H2942] you to build [H1124] this [H1836] house [H1005] , and to make up [H3635] these [H1836] walls [H846] ?

5:10 We asked [H7593] their names [H8036] also [H638] , to certify [H3046] thee, that we might write [H3790] the names [H8036] of the men [H1400] that [were] the chief [H7217] of them.

5:11 And thus [H3660] they returned [H8421] us answer [H6600] , saying [H560] , We [H586] are [H1994] the servants [H5649] of the God [H426] of heaven [H8065] and earth [H772] , and build [H1124] the house [H1005] that was [H1934] builded [H1124] these [H1836] many [H7690] years [H8140] ago [H6928] , which a great [H7229] king [H4430] of Israel [H3479] builded [H1124] and set up [H3635] .

5:12 But [H3861] after [H4481] that our fathers [H2] had provoked [H7265] the God [H426] of heaven [H8065] unto wrath [H7265] , he gave [H3052] them [H1994] into the hand [H3028] of Nebuchadnezzar [H5020] the king [H4430] of Babylon [H895] , the Chaldean [H3679] , who destroyed [H5642] this [H1836] house [H1005] , and carried [H1541] the people [H5972] away [H1541] into Babylon [H895] .

5:13 But [H1297] in the first [H2298] year [H8140] of Cyrus [H3567] the king [H4430] of Babylon [H895] [the same] king [H4430] Cyrus [H3567] made [H7761] a decree [H2942] to build [H1124] this [H1836] house [H1005] of God [H426] .

5:14 And the vessels [H3984] also [H638] of [H1768] gold [H1722] and silver [H3702] of the house [H1005] of God [H426] , which Nebuchadnezzar [H5020] took [H5312] out of [H4481] the temple [H1965] that [was] in Jerusalem [H3390] , and brought [H2987] them into the temple [H1965] of Babylon [H895] , those [H1994] did Cyrus [H3567] the king [H4430] take [H5312] out of [H4481] the temple [H1965] of Babylon [H895] , and they were delivered [H3052] unto [one], whose name [H8036] [was] Sheshbazzar [H8340] , whom he had made [H7761] governor [H6347] ;(governor: or, deputy)

5:15 And said [H560] unto him, Take [H5376] these [H412] vessels [H3984] , go [H236] , carry [H5182] them [H1994] into the temple [H1965] that [is] in Jerusalem [H3390] , and let the house [H1005] of God [H426] be builded [H1124] in [H5922] his place [H870] .

5:16 Then [H116] came [H858] the same [H1791] Sheshbazzar [H8340] , [and] laid [H3052] the foundation [H787] of the house [H1005] of God [H426] which [is] in Jerusalem [H3390] : and since [H4481] that time [H116] even until [H5705] now [H3705] hath it been in building [H1124] , and [yet] it is not [H3809] finished [H8000] .

5:17 Now [H3705] therefore, if [H2006] [it seem] good [H2869] to [H5922] the king [H4430] , let there be search [H1240] made in the king's [H4430] treasure [H1596] house [H1005] , which [is] there [H8536] at Babylon [H895] , whether [H2006] it be [H383] [so], that a decree [H2942] was made [H7761] of [H4481] Cyrus [H3567] the king [H4430] to build [H1124] this [H1791] house [H1005] of God [H426] at Jerusalem [H3390] , and let the king [H4430] send [H7972] his pleasure [H7470] to us concerning [H5922] this matter [H1836] .
