Forsooth in the time of Artaxerxes, king of Persia, there wrote to him, of these that dwelled in Judea and in Jerusalem, Belemus, and Mithradates, and Tabellius, and Rathymus, Beeltethmus, and Semellius, the scribe, and others dwelling in Samaria, and in other places, they wrote this subject letter to king Artaxerxes. [Forsooth in the time of Artaxerxes, king of Persians, written to him, of these that dwelt in Judea and in Jerusalem, Belemus, and Mithradates, and Tabellius, and Rathymus, Beeltethmus, and Semellius, scribe, and others dwelling in Samaria, and in other places, the underset letter to king Artaxerxes.]
17
Lord, thy children (or thy servants) Rathymus, and Semellius, the scribe, and other doomsmen of thy court, of things that fall in Celosyria and Phenice (or of things that be done in Greater Syria and Phoenicia).
18
And now be it know to the lord the king, that (the) Jews, the which went up from you to us, coming into Jerusalem, a city of fleers away, and a full evil city, they build up the ovens of it, and they (re)set the walls, and rear (or raise up) the temple. [And now be it know to the lord the king, for Jews, that went up from you to us, coming into Jerusalem, city again-flown to, and worst, build up the ovens of it, and set the walls, and rear the temple.]
19
That if this city and walls were made up (again), [or were full ended], they shall not suffer to yield tributes, but also they shall against-stand to kings.
20
And for cause that that thing is done about the temple, to have it rightly we have deemed to not despise that same thing,
21
but to make known to the lord [the] king, that if it shall be seen pleasing to the king, be it sought in the books of thy fathers;
22
and thou shalt find in (the) remembrances written of them, and thou shalt know, that that city was again-flown (or rebellious), and kings and cities smiting together,
23
and (the) Jews fleeing again (or rebelling), and making battles in it always; for the which cause this city was forsaken. [and Jews again-fleeing, and making battles in it forevermore; for what cause this is desert(ed).]
24
Now therefore we make known to the lord [the] king, that if this city were built up, and the walls of it were areared, there shall be no coming down to thee into Celosyria and Phenice (or into Greater Syria and Phoenicia).
25
Then the king wrote again to Rathymus, that wrote those things that befell, and to Beeltethmus, and to Semellius, the scribe, and to others ordained sovereigns and dwelling in Syria, and in Phenice (or in Phoenicia), [or to others ordained, and dwellers in Syria, and Phenice], he wrote to them these things that be set under.
26
I have read the letter, that thou sentest to me. Therefore I commanded it to be sought; and it was found, that that city was always withstanding to kings,
27
and (the) men again-fugitive, and making battles in it; and most strong kings have been lordshipping in Jerusalem, and asking tributes of Celosyria and Phenice (or of Greater Syria and Phoenicia).
28
Now therefore I (have) command(ed) to forfend (or to prevent) those men to build up the city, and to look, that anything be not made hereafter; but that they pass not into full much, [Now then I commanded to forfend (or to prevent) those men to build up the city, and to purvey, lest anything more (than) this thing be made; but go they not forth into more,]
30
Then after these things were rehearsed (or were read), that were written of Artaxerxes (or that were from Artaxerxes), the king [or that of king Artaxerxes were written], Rathymus, and Semellius, the scribe, and they that were with them ordained [or and that with them were ordained], enjoining, hieingly (or hastily) came into Jerusalem, with horsemen, and people, and with company; and they began to forfend (or to prevent, or to hinder) the builders. And they voided (or ceased) then from the building of the temple [in Jerusalem], unto the second year of the realm of Darius, king of Persia.
