CAB(i) 7 And in the days of Artaxerxes, Tabel wrote peaceably to Mithradath and to the rest of his fellow servants: the tax collector wrote to Artaxerxes king of the Persians a writing in the Syrian tongue, and the same interpreted. 8 Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote an epistle against Jerusalem to King Artaxerxes, saying, 9 Thus has judged Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of our fellow servants, the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the people of Persia, the Erech, the Babylonians, the Shushan, the Dehavites, 10 and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Osnapper removed, and settled them in the cities of Samaria, and the rest of them beyond the river. 11 This is the contents of the letter which they sent to him: To King Artaxerxes from your servants the men of the region beyond the river: 12 Be it known to the king, that the Jews who came up to us from you, have come to Jerusalem, the rebellious and wicked city which they are building, and its walls are set in order, and they have established the foundations of it. 13 Now then let it be known to the king, that if that city be built up, and its walls completed, you shall have no tribute, neither will they pay any tribute, and this injures kings. 14 And it is not lawful for us to see the dishonor of the king. Therefore have we sent and made known the matter to the king, 15 that examination may be made in your fathers' book of record. And you shall find, and you shall know that this city is rebellious, and does harm to kings and countries, and there are in the midst of it from very old time refuges for runaway slaves. Therefore this city has been made desolate. 16 We therefore declare to the king, that if this city is rebuilt, and its walls are set up, you shall have no peace.
LXX2012(i) 7 And in the days of Arthasastha, Tabeel wrote peaceably to Mithradates and to the rest of his fellow-servants: the tribute-gatherer wrote to Arthasastha king of the Persians a writing in the Syrian tongue, and [the same] interpreted. 8 Reum the chancellor, and Sampsa the scribe wrote an epistle against Jerusalem to King Arthasastha, [saying,] 9 Thus has judged Reum the chancellor, and Sampsa the scribe, and the rest of our fellow-servants, the Dinaeans, the Apharsathachaeans, the Tarphalaeans, the Apharsaeans, the Archyaeans, the Babylonians, the Susanachaeans, Davaeans, 10 and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Assenaphar removed, and settled them in the cities of Somoron, and the rest [of them] beyond the river. 11 This [is] the purport of the letter, which they sent to him: Your servants the men beyond the river to king Arthasastha. 12 Be it known to the king, that the Jews who came up from you to us have come to Jerusalem the rebellious and wicked city, which they are building, and its walls are set in order, and they have established the foundations of it. 13 Now then be it known to the king, that if that city be built up, and its walls completed, you shall have no tribute, neither will they pay [anything], and this injures kings. 14 And it is not lawful for us to see the dishonor of the king: therefore have we sent and made known [the matter] to the king; 15 That examination may be made in your fathers' book of record; and you shall find, and you shall know that city [is] rebellious, and does harm to kings and countries, and there are in the midst of it from very old time refuges for [runaway] slaves: therefore this city has been made desolate. 16 We therefore declare to the king, that, if that city be built, and its walls be set up, you shall not have peace.
NSB(i) 7 In the time of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his friends, sent a letter to Artaxerxes, king of Persia, writing it in the Aramaic language. 8 Rehum, the chief ruler, and Shimshai the scribe, sent a letter against Jerusalem, to Artaxerxes the king as follows: 9 The letter was sent by Rehum, the chief ruler, and Shimshai the scribe and their friends; the Dinaites and the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Shushanchites (people of Susa), the Dehaites, the Elamites, 10 The rest of the nations the great and noble Osnappar took over and put in Samaria and the rest of the country over the river: 11 »This is a copy of the letter that they sent to Artaxerxes the king: ‘Your servants living across the river send these words: 12 »We give news to the king that the Jews who came from you have come to us at Jerusalem. They are again building that uncontrolled and evil town. The walls are complete and they are repairing the bases. 13 »The king may be certain that when the town and its wall are completely rebuilt they will pay no tax or payment in goods or forced payments, and in the end it will be a cause of loss to the kings. 14 »Because we are responsible to the king, and it is not right for us to see the king's honor damaged, we have sent to give the king word of these things. 15 »That way a search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers. You will see in the book of the records that this town has been uncontrolled. It has been a cause of trouble to kings and countries. There were outbursts against authority in the past. That is the reason the town was laid waste. 16 »We give you word, that if this town and its walls is completely rebuilt, your power in the country across the river will end.«
ISV(i) 7 While Artaxerxes was king of Persia, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their co-conspirators wrote in the Aramaic language and script to King Artaxerxes of Persia.
Aramaic:
8 Governor Rehum and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter concerning Jerusalem to King Artaxerxes as follows:
9 From Governor Rehum
Shimshai the scribe
The rest of their colleagues—
Judges, envoys, officials, Persians, the people of Erech, the Babylonians, the people of Susa (that is, the Elamites) 10 and many other nations whom the great and honorable Osnappar deported and resettled in Samaria and in the rest of the province beyond the Euphrates River.
11 This is the text of the letter they sent. To: King Artaxerxes From: Your servants, the men of the province beyond the Euphrates River. 12 May the king be advised that the Jews who came from you to us have reached Jerusalem and are rebuilding a rebellious and wicked city, having completed its walls and repaired its foundations. 13 May the king be further advised that if this city is rebuilt and its walls erected, its citizens will refuse to pay tributes, taxes, and tariffs, thereby restricting royal revenues. 14 Now, because we are royal employees and are committed to preserving the reputation of the king, we have written to the king and have declared its contents to be true, 15 urging that a search may be made in the official registers of your predecessors. You will discover in the registers that this city is a rebellious city, that it is damaging to both kings and provinces, that it has been moved to sedition from time immemorial, and that because of this it was destroyed. 16 We certify to the king that if this city is rebuilt and its walls completed, you will lose your land holdings in the province beyond the Euphrates River.
LEB(i) 7 And in the days of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their colleagues wrote to Artaxerxes king of Persia. The letter was written in Aramaic and translated from Aramaic. 8 Rehum the royal officer and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to King Artaxerxes as follows 9 (then Rehum the royal officer, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their associates, the judges, the envoys, the officials, the Persians, the Erechs, the Babylonians, the Susians (that is the Elamites) 10 and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Osnappar deported and settled in the cities of Samaria and the rest of the province Beyond the River) and now 11 this is the copy of the letter which they sent to him:
"To King Artaxerxes from your servants, the men of the province Beyond the River. And now, 12 be it known to the king that the Jews who have come up from near you to us have gone to Jerusalem. They are building the rebellious and wicked city. They are finishing the wall and repairing the foundation. 13 Now be it known to the king that if this city is built and the walls are finished, they will not pay tribute and toll, and the royal revenue will be reduced. 14 Now since we eat the salt of the palace and the dishonor of the king is not proper for us to see, we send and make this known to the king, 15 so that it may be investigated in the book of records of your ancestors.* You will find in the book of records and learn that this city is a rebellious city, hurtful to kings and provinces, and they have rebelled in its midst from ancient times. Because of that this city was destroyed. 16 We make known to the king that if this city is built and the walls are finished, you will have nothing in the province Beyond the River."
BSB(i) 7 And in the days of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his associates wrote a letter to Artaxerxes. It was written in Aramaic and then translated. 8 Rehum the commander and Shimshai the scribe wrote the letter against Jerusalem to King Artaxerxes as follows: 9 From Rehum the commander, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their associates—the judges and officials over Tripolis, Persia, Erech and Babylon, the Elamites of Susa, 10 and the rest of the peoples whom the great and honorable Ashurbanipal deported and settled in the cities of Samaria and elsewhere west of the Euphrates. 11 (This is the text of the letter they sent to him.) To King Artaxerxes, From your servants, the men west of the Euphrates: 12 Let it be known to the king that the Jews who came from you to us have returned to Jerusalem. And they are rebuilding that rebellious and wicked city, restoring its walls, and repairing its foundations. 13 Let it now be known to the king that if that city is rebuilt and its walls are restored, they will not pay tribute, duty, or toll, and the royal treasury will suffer. 14 Now because we are in the service of the palace and it is not fitting for us to allow the king to be dishonored, we have sent to inform the king 15 that a search should be made of the record books of your fathers. In these books you will discover and verify that the city is a rebellious city, harmful to kings and provinces, inciting sedition from ancient times. That is why this city was destroyed. 16 We advise the king that if this city is rebuilt and its walls are restored, you will have no dominion west of the Euphrates.

And the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian character and set forth in the Syrian tongue. 8 Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this way.
9 Then wrote Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe and the rest of their companions, the Dinaites and the Apharsathchites, the men of Erech, the Babylonians, the men of Susa, (that is the Elamites), 10 and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Osnappar brought over and set in the city of Samaria and in the rest beyond the River and so forth.

14 Now because we eat the salt of the palace and it is not fitting for us to see the king's dishonor, therefore we have sent and certified to the king, 15 that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers. So you will find in the book of the records and know that this city is a rebellious city and hurtful to kings and provinces. And that they have made sedition within the same of old time, for which cause this city was laid waste.
16 We certify to the king that, if this city be built and the walls finished, by this means you will have no portion beyond the River.

Giguet(i) 7 Et, durant les jours d’Arthasastha, Tabéel écrivit une lettre bienveillante à Mithradate et aux autres serviteurs; le collecteur des impôts écrivit à Arthasastha, roi des Perses, une lettre en syriaque avec la traduction. 8 Rheum le chancelier, et Samsa le scribe, écrivirent aussi une lettre contre Jérusalem au roi Arthasastha. 9 Voici ce que jugent Rhéum le chancelier, Samsa le scribe, et le reste de ceux qui, avec nous, sont tes serviteurs: les Dinéens, les Apharsathachéens, les Tharphaléens, les Apharséens, les Arechyéens, les Babyloniens, les Susanachéens, les Davéens, 10 Et les autres nations que le grand et vénérable Assenaphar a transportées dans les villes de Samarie; celles qui résident sur le territoire en deçà du fleuve. 11 Suit la teneur de la lettre qu’ils envoyèrent: A Arthasastha, roi, ses serviteurs, en deçà du fleuve: 12 Que le roi sache que les Juifs qui sont partis de son territoire pour cette terre sont arrivés à Jérusalem, ville rebelle et méchante, qu’ils la rebâtissent, qu’ils en ont restauré les remparts, et qu’ils les ont élevés au-dessus des fondations. 13 Que le roi sache bien qu’aussitôt leur ville reconstruite et leurs murs réparés, ils cesseront d’être tes tributaires, ils ne donneront rien; et ainsi, ils feront tort aux rois; 14 Et il ne nous est point possible de voir le roi outragé; c’est pourquoi nous avons envoyé un message pour instruire le roi, 15 Afin que l’on regarde dans le livre des archives de tes pères, où tu trouveras et tu apprendras que cette ville est une ville rebelle, qu’elle fait tort aux rois et aux royaumes, qu’il y a toujours eu chez elle des esclaves fugitifs, et que c’est pour cela qu’elle a été dépeuplée. 16 Nous déclarons donc au roi que, si cette ville est rebâtie, si ses remparts sont relevés, il n’y aura plus de paix pour toi.

Martin(i) 7 Et du temps d'Artaxerxes, Bislam, Mithredat, Tabéel, et les autres de sa compagnie écrivirent à Artaxerxes Roi de Perse. L'écriture de la copie de la lettre était en lettres Syriaques, et elle était couchée en langue Syriaque. 8 Réhum donc, Président du conseil, et Simsaï, le Secrétaire, écrivirent une Lettre touchant Jérusalem au Roi Artaxerxes, comme il s'ensuit. 9 Réhum Président du conseil, et Simsaï le Secrétaire, et les autres de leur compagnie, Diniens, Apharsatkiens, Tarpéliens, Arphasiens, Arkéviens, Babyloniens, Susankiens, Déhaviens, et Hélamites; 10 Et les autres peuples que le grand et glorieux Osnapar avait transportés, et fait habiter dans la ville de Samarie, et les autres qui étaient de deçà le fleuve; de telle date. 11 C'est donc ici la teneur de la Lettre qu'ils lui envoyèrent. Au Roi Artaxerxes. Tes serviteurs les gens de deçà le fleuve, et de telle date. 12 Que le Roi soit averti, que les Juifs qui sont montés d'auprès de lui vers nous, sont venus à Jérusalem, et qu'ils bâtissent la ville rebelle et méchante, et posent les fondements des murailles, et les relèvent. 13 Que maintenant donc le Roi soit averti, que si cette ville est rebâtie, et ses murailles fondées, ils ne paieront plus de taille, ni de gabelle, ni de péage, et elle causera ainsi une grande perte aux revenus du Roi. 14 Et parce que nous sommes aux gages du Roi, il nous serait mal-séant, de voir ce mépris du Roi; c'est pourquoi nous avons envoyé au Roi, et nous lui faisons savoir; 15 Qu'il cherche au Livre des Mémoires de ses pères, et qu'il trouvera écrit dans ce Livre des Mémoires, et y apprendra que cette ville est une ville rebelle, et pernicieuse aux Rois et aux provinces; et que de tout temps on y a fait des complots, et qu'à cause de cela cette ville a été détruite. 16 Nous faisons donc savoir au Roi, que si cette ville est rebâtie, et ses murailles fondées, il n'aura plus de part à ce qui est au deçà du fleuve.
Segond(i) 7 Et du temps d'Artaxerxès, Bischlam, Mithredath, Thabeel, et le reste de leurs collègues, écrivirent à Artaxerxès, roi de Perse. La lettre fut transcrite en caractères araméens et traduite en araméen. 8 Rehum, gouverneur, et Schimschaï, secrétaire écrivirent au roi Artaxerxès la lettre suivante concernant Jérusalem: 9 Rehum, gouverneur, Schimschaï, secrétaire, et le reste de leurs collègues, ceux de Din, d'Arpharsathac, de Tharpel, d'Apharas, d'Erec, de Babylone, de Suse, de Déha, d'Elam, 10 et les autres peuples que le grand et illustre Osnappar a transportés et établis dans la ville de Samarie et autres lieux de ce côté du fleuve, etc. 11 C'est ici la copie de la lettre qu'ils envoyèrent au roi Artaxerxès: Tes serviteurs, les gens de ce côté du fleuve, etc. 12 Que le roi sache que les Juifs partis de chez toi et arrivés parmi nous à Jérusalem rebâtissent la ville rebelle et méchante, en relèvent les murs et en restaurent les fondements. 13 Que le roi sache donc que, si cette ville est rebâtie et si ses murs sont relevés, ils ne paieront ni tribut, ni impôt, ni droit de passage, et que le trésor royal en souffrira. 14 Or, comme nous mangeons le sel du palais et qu'il ne nous paraît pas convenable de voir mépriser le roi, nous envoyons au roi ces informations. 15 Qu'on fasse des recherches dans le livre des mémoires de tes pères; et tu trouveras et verras dans le livre des mémoires que cette ville est une ville rebelle, funeste aux rois et aux provinces, et qu'on s'y est livré à la révolte dès les temps anciens. C'est pourquoi cette ville a été détruite. 16 Nous faisons savoir au roi que, si cette ville est rebâtie et si ses murs sont relevés, par cela même tu n'auras plus de possession de ce côté du fleuve.

SE(i) 7 Y en días de Artajerjes escribieron Bislam, Mitrídates, Tabeel, y los demás compañeros suyos, a Artajerjes rey de Persia; y la escritura de la carta estaba hecha en siriaco, y declarada en siriaco. 8 Rehum canciller, y Simsai escriba, escribieron una carta contra Jerusalén al rey Artajerjes, como se sigue. 9 Entonces Rehum canciller, y Simsai escriba, y los demás compañeros suyos, los dineos, y los afarsataceos, tefarleos, afarseos, los ercueos, los babilonios, susasceos, dieveos, y elamitas; 10 y los demás pueblos que el grande y glorioso Asnapar ( Senacherib) transportó, e hizo habitar en las ciudades de Samaria, y los demás del otro lado del río, y de Cheenet. 11 Este es el traslado de la carta que enviaron: Al rey Artajerjes: Tus siervos del otro lado del río, y de Cheenet. 12 Sea notorio al rey, que los judíos que subieron de ti a nosotros, vinieron a Jerusalén; y edifican la ciudad rebelde y mala, y han acimentado los muros; y puesto los fundamentos. 13 Ahora, notorio sea al rey, que si aquella ciudad fuere reedificada, y los muros fueren fundados, no darán el tributo, pecho, y rentas, y el catastro de los reyes será menoscabado. 14 Ahora porque de la sal del palacio estamos salados, no nos es justo ver el menosprecio del rey; por tanto hemos enviado para hacerlo saber al rey, 15 para que busque en el libro de las historias de nuestros padres; y hallarás en el libro de las historias, y sabrás que esta ciudad es ciudad rebelde, y perjudicial a los reyes y a las provincias, y que de tiempo antiguo forman en medio de ella rebeliones; por lo que esta ciudad fue destruida. 16 Hacemos saber al rey, que si esta ciudad fuere edificada, y los muros fundados, la parte más allá del río no será tuya.

Letra ishte shkruar me shkronja aramaike dhe ishte përkthyer në gjuhën aramaike. 8 Rehumi, qeveritari, dhe Shimshai, sekretari, i shkruan mbretit Artasers një letër kundër Jeruzalemit me këtë përmbajtje: 9 "Rehumi, qeveritari, Shimshai, sekretari, dhe kolegët e tyre të tjerë, Dinaitët, Afarsathkitët, Tarpelitët, Afaresitët, Arkevitët, Babilonasit, Shushankitët, Dehavitët, Elamitët, 10 dhe popujt e tjerë që i madhi dhe i famshmi Osnapar ka internuar dhe ka vendosur në qytetin e Samarisë dhe në pjesën tjetër të krahinës matanë Lumit, e të tjera". 11 Ja kopja e letrës që ata i dërguan: "Mbretit Artasers, nga shërbëtorët e tu, njerëzit e krahinës matanë Lumit, e të tjera. 12 T'i njoftohet mbretit që Judejtë, që ikën nga ti dhe kanë ardhur pranë nesh në Jeruzalem, janë duke rindërtuar qytetin rebel të keq, po rindërtojnë muret dhe po ndreqin themelet. 13 Tani t'i bëhet e njohur mbretit që në rast se ky qytet rindërtohet dhe muret e tij përfundohen, ata nuk do të paguajnë asnjë haraç, tatim ose taksë për kalim, dhe thesari i mbretit do të ketë pasoja. 14 Tani, duke qenë se ne marrim ushqime nga pallati dhe nuk na duket e drejtë të shohim çnderimin e mbretit, prandaj i dërgojmë këtë njoftim mbretit, 15 me qëllim që të bëhen kërkime në librin e kujtimeve të etërve të tu; dhe në librin e kujtimeve do të gjesh dhe do të mësosh që ky qytet është një qytet rebel, shumë i rrezikshëm për mbretërit dhe për provincat, dhe se aty nxiten rebelime që nga kohët e lashta. Për këtë arësye qyteti u shkatërrua. 16 Ne i bëjmë të ditur mbretit, që në qoftë se ky qytet rindërtohet dhe muret e tij përfundohen, nuk do të mbetet asnjë zotërim në krahinën matanë Lumit".
RST(i) 7 И во дни Артаксеркса писали Бишлам, Мифредат, Табеел и прочиетоварищи их к Артаксерксу, царю Персидскому. Письмо же написано было буквамиСирийскими и на Сирийском языке. 8 Рехум советник и Шимшай писец писали одно письмо против Иерусалима к царю Артаксерксу такое: 9 Тогда-то. Рехум советник и Шимшай писец и прочие товарищи их, –Динеи и Афарсафхеи, Тарпелеи, Апарсы, Арехьяне, Вавилоняне, Сусанцы, Даги, Еламитяне, 10 и прочие народы, которых переселил Аснафар, великий и славный ипоселил в городах Самарийских и в прочих городах за рекою, и прочее. 11 И вот список с письма, которое послали к нему: Царю Артаксерксу – рабы твои, люди, живущие за рекою, и прочее. 12 Да будет известно царю, что Иудеи, которые вышли от тебя, пришли к нам в Иерусалим, строят этот мятежный инегодный город, и стены делают, и основания их уже исправили. 13 Да будет же известно царю, что если этот город будет построен и стены восстановлены, то ни подати, ни налога, ни пошлины не будут давать, и царской казне сделан будет ущерб. 14 Так как мы едим соль от дворца царского, и ущерб для царя не можем видеть, поэтому мы посылаем донесение к царю: 15 пусть поищут в памятной книге отцов твоих, – и найдешь в книге памятной, и узнаешь, что город сей – город мятежный и вредный для царей и областей, и что отпадения бывали в нем издавна, за что город сей и опустошен. 16 Посему мы уведомляем царя, что если город сей будет достроен и стены его доделаны, то после этого не будет у тебя владения за рекою.

Bulgarian(i) 7 В дните на Артаксеркс Вислам, Митридат, Тавеил и другите им съслужители писаха до персийския цар Артаксеркс. Писмото беше написано на арамейски. Това е арамейският превод: 8 Управителят Реум и писарят Самса писаха писмо против Ерусалим до цар Артаксеркс, както следва: 9 Управителят Реум, писарят Самса и другите им съслужители, динците, афарсахците, тарфалците, афарсяните, архевците, вавилонците, сусанците, еламците, 10 и останалите народи, които великият и славният Асенафар доведе и засели в градовете на Самария и в другите градове отвъд реката; и така: 11 Ето препис от писмото, което пратиха на цар Артаксеркс: Слугите ти, мъжете, които са отвъд реката; и така: 12 Нека е известно на царя, че юдеите, които се изкачиха от теб, дойдоха при нас в Ерусалим и строят бунтовния и злия град, издигат стените и поправят основите. 13 Нека сега е известно на царя, че ако се построи този град и се издигнат стените, няма вече да плащат данък, мито, или пътен данък и това ще навреди на дохода на царете. 14 А понеже ние служим на двореца и е неприлично за нас да гледаме вредата, която ще се нанесе на царя, затова изпращаме да известим на царя, 15 за да се потърси в книгата на летописите на бащите ти. И ще намериш в книгата на летописите и ще узнаеш, че този град е бунтовен град, който е навреждал на царете и областите, и че още от старо време в него са се вдигали въстания. Затова този град е бил разрушен. 16 Известяваме на царя, че ако този град се построи отново и стените му се издигнат, поради това няма да имаш никакво притежание отсам реката.
Croatian(i) 7 I za vremena Artakserksova pisali su Bišlam, Mitredat, Tabel i ostali njihovi drugovi protiv Jeruzalema perzijskom kralju Artakserksu. Podnesak je bio pisan aramejskim pismom i jezikom. 8 Zatim su upravitelj Rehum i tajnik Šimšaj napisali kralju Artakserksu slijedeće pismo protiv Jeruzalema - 9 upravitelj Rehum, tajnik Šimšaj i ostali drugovi njihovi: perzijski suci, poslanici, činovnici; Arkevajci, Babilonci, Suzanci - to jest Elamci - 10 i ostali narodi koje je veliki i slavni Asurbanipal bio odveo u sužanjstvo i naselio ih u gradove Samarije i druge krajeve s onu stranu Rijeke. 11 Evo prijepisa pisma koje su mu poslali: "Kralju Artakserksu, tvoje sluge, ljudi s onu stranu Rijeke. Sada, dakle, 12 neka zna kralj da su Judejci stigli k nama od tebe; došavši u Jeruzalem, žele ponovo sagraditi odmetnički i opaki grad; podižu zidine, a temelje su već postavili. 13 Neka zna kralj: ako ovaj grad bude sagrađen i zidovi podignuti, neće se više plaćati porez, ni danak, ni carina, i ovaj će grad biti na štetu kraljevske riznice. 14 Budući da jedemo dvorsku sol, ne čini nam se doličnim gledati ovu sramotu nanesenu kralju. Zato, dakle, obavještavamo kralja: 15 neka se poduzmu istraživanja u ljetopisima tvojih očeva: u tim ćeš ljetopisima naći i utvrditi da je ovaj grad odmetnički grad, nesretan za kraljeve i pokrajine i da su se u njemu od davnine dizale bune. Zato je ovaj grad bio razoren. 16 Obavješćujemo kralja da neće biti više tvoje područje preko Rijeke ako ovaj grad bude ponovo sagrađen i zidovi podignuti!"
BKR(i) 7 (Tak jako za dnů Artaxerxa psal Bislam, Mitridates, Tabel a jiní tovaryši jeho k Artaxerxovi králi Perskému.) Písmo pak listu toho psáno bylo Syrsky, i vykládáno Syrsky. 8 Rechum totiž kancléř a Simsai písař napsali jeden list proti Jeruzalému Artaxerxovi králi, takový: 9 Rechum kancléř a Simsai písař i jiní tovaryši jejich, Dinaiští a Afarsatchaiští, Tarpelaiští, Afarzaiští, Arkevaiští, Babylonští, Susanechaiští, Dehavejští a Elmaiští, 10 I jiní národové, kteréž byl převedl Asnapar veliký a slavný, a rozsadil v městech Samařských, a jiní za řekou, i Cheenetští, 11 (Tento jest přípis listu, kterýž poslali k Artaxerxovi králi), služebníci tvoji, lidé za řekou a Cheenetští. 12 Známo buď králi, že Židé, kteříž se vrátili od tebe, přišedše k nám do Jeruzaléma, město odporné a škodlivé stavějí, i zdi dělají, a základy spojují. 13 Protož nyní buď vědomo králi, bude-li to město vystaveno, a zdi dodělány, platuť, cla a úroku dávati nebudou, a tak komoře královské újma bude. 14 Nyní tedy poněvadž dobrodiní paláce užíváme, na obnažování krále neslušelo se nám dívati. Tou příčinou poslali jsme a oznámili to králi, 15 Aby dal hledati v knihách kronik otců svých, a najdeš v nich, i zvíš, že město to jest město odporné a škodlivé králům i krajinám, a že se v něm puntovávají od starodávna, pročež to město prvé zkaženo bylo. 16 Nadto známoť činíme králi, že bude-li to město vystaveno, a zdi dodělány, tedy vládařství za řekou míti nebudeš.
Danish(i) 7 Og i Artakserkses's Dage skreve Bislam, Mithridates, Tabeel og de øvrige af hans Selskab til Artakserkses, Kongen i Persien, og Brevet var skrevet med syrisk Skrift og oversat paa Syrisk. 8 Rehum, Kansleren og Simsaj, Skriveren, skreve et Brev imod Jerusalem til Kong Artakserkses, saa lydende: 9 Dengang var det, Rehum, Kansleren, og Simsaj, Skriveren, og de øvrige af deres Selskab, de af Dina og Afarsathka, Tarpela, Afarsa, Erek, Babel, Susan, Dehava, Elam 10 og de øvrige Folk, som den store og navnkundige Osnappar forflyttede og satte i Samarias Stad, og de øvrige paa denne Side Floden, og saa videre. 11 Dette er Afskriften af Brevet, som de sendte til ham, til Kong Artakserkses: Dine Tjenere, de Mænd paa denne Side Floden, og saa videre: 12 Det skal være Kongen vitterligt, at Jøderne, som ere dragne op fra dig, ere komne til os til Jerusalem og bygge den oprørske og onde Stad og fuldføre Muren og udbedre Grunden. 13 Saa være det nu Kongen vitterligt, at dersom den Stad bliver bygget, og Murene blive fuldførte, da skulle de ikke ville give dig Skat, Told og aarlig Rente, og du skal lide Tab i Kongernes Indtægt. 14 Nu, efterdi vi have vor Løn fra Kongens Palads, og det ikke sømmer sig, at vi se paa Kongens Skade, derfor have vi sendt hen og lade Kongen det vide, 15 at man maa lede i dine Fædres Historiebog, at du kan finde i samme Historiebog og forfare, at den Stad er en genstridig Stad og skadelig for Konger og Lande, og at de have gjort Opstand derudi fra gammel Tid af; derfor er Staden ødelagt. 16 Vi give Kongen til Kende, at hvis denne Stad bliver bygget og dens Mure fuldførte, da beholder du ingen Del paa denne Side Floden.

Finnish(i) 7 Ja Artahsastan aikana kirjoitti Bislam, Mitridat, Tabeel ja muut heidän seurastansa Artahsastalle Persian kuninkaalle. Ja kirja oli kirjoitettu Syrian kielellä ja tulkittu Syrian kielellä. 8 Rehum kansleri ja Simsai kirjoittaja kirjoittivat kirjan Jerusalemia vastaan kuningas Artahsastalle näin: 9 Rehum kansleri ja Simsai kirjoittaja, ja muut heidän kanssaveljensä Dinasta, Apharsakista ja Tarpelasta, Persiasta, Arakasta, Babelista, Susanista, Dehasta ja Elamista, 10 Ja muut kansat, jotka suuri ja kuuluisa Asnappar toi tänne, ja pani heidät asumaan Samarian kaupunkeihin, ja ne muut toisella puolen virtaa, sillä ajalla. 11 Ja kirja, jonka he lähettivät kuningas Artahsastalle, oli näin kirjoitettu: palvelias, miehet, jotka asuvat toisella puolella virtaa, jotka siihen aikaan olivat. 12 Se olkoon kuninkaalle tiettävä, että Juudalaiset, jotka sinun tyköäs tulivat meidän tykömme Jerusalemiin, rakentavat kapinallista ja pahaa kaupunkia, ja ovat perustaneet ja korottaneet muurit. 13 Niin olkoon nyt kuninkaalle tiettävä, että jos se kaupunki rakennetaan ja muurit perustetaan, niin ei he sinulle anna tullia, veroa ja ajastaikaista ulostekoa; ja sinä vahingoitset kuningasten veron. 14 Nyt siis, että meillä on ravinto kuninkaan huoneesta, ei sovi meidän nähdä kuninkaan ylönkatsetta; sentähden olemme me lähteneet matkaan, ilmoittamaan sitä kuninkaalle, 15 Ettäs etsisit isäis aikakirjoista, ja sinä löydät niistä ja saat tietää tämän olevan kapinallisen ja vahingollisen kaupungin kuninkaille ja maakunnille, joka saatti jo vanhasta muutkin luopumaan; jonkatähden myös tämä kaupunki on autioksi tehty. 16 Sentähden me annamme kuninkaan tietää, että jos tämä kaupunki rakennetaan ja muurit tehdään, niin et sinä toista puolta virtaa saa pitää.
FinnishPR(i) 7 Ja Artahsastan aikana kirjoittivat Bislam, Mitredat ja Taabeel ynnä näiden muut virkatoverit Artahsastalle, Persian kuninkaalle. Kirje oli kirjoitettu aramin kirjoituksella ja käännetty araminkielelle. 8 Käskynhaltija Rehum ja kirjuri Simsai kirjoittivat kuningas Artahsastalle Jerusalemia vastaan kirjeen, joka kuului näin: 9 Silloin ja silloin. "Käskynhaltija Rehum ja kirjuri Simsai ynnä muut heidän virkatoverinsa, tuomarit, järjestysmiehet, tarpelilaiset, afarsilaiset, erekiläiset, babylonialaiset, suusanilaiset, dehavilaiset, eelamilaiset, 10 ja muut kansat, jotka suuri ja mainehikas Aasenappar vei pakkosiirtolaisuuteen ja sijoitti Samarian kaupunkiin ja muualle, tälle puolelle Eufrat-virran," ja niin edespäin. 11 Tämä on jäljennös kirjeestä, jonka he lähettivät hänelle: "Kuningas Artahsastalle sinun palvelijasi, miehet tältä puolelta Eufrat-virran," ja niin edespäin. 12 "Tietäköön kuningas, että ne juutalaiset, jotka lähtivät sinun luotasi meidän luoksemme, ovat tulleet Jerusalemiin. He ovat nyt rakentamassa tuota kapinallista ja pahaa kaupunkia ja panemassa kuntoon muureja ja korjaamassa perustuksia. 13 Niin tietäköön kuningas, että jos se kaupunki rakennetaan ja muurit pannaan kuntoon, he eivät suorita rahaveroa, eivät luonnontuotteita eivätkä tierahaa, ja siitä kärsivät kuningasten tulot. 14 Koska kerran me syömme palatsin suolaa eikä meidän sovi nähdä kuninkaan häpäisemistä, sentähden me lähetämme ja ilmoitamme tämän kuninkaalle, 15 että hän tutkituttaisi sinun isiesi aikakirjaa; sillä aikakirjasta sinä huomaat ja saat tietää, että se kaupunki on ollut kapinallinen kaupunki, joka on tuottanut kuninkaille ja maakunnille vahinkoa ja jossa ammoisista ajoista on pantu toimeen levottomuuksia. Sentähden se kaupunki on hävitetty. 16 Me ilmoitamme siis kuninkaalle, että jos se kaupunki rakennetaan ja muurit pannaan kuntoon, ei sinulla ole oleva mitään osaa tällä puolella Eufrat-virran olevaan maahan."
Haitian(i) 7 Sou rèy wa Atagzèsès, Bislam, Mitridat ak Tabeyèl mete tèt yo ansanm avèk kèk lòt kòlèg yo, yo ekri yon lèt plent voye bay Atagzesès, wa peyi Pès la, kont moun Jerizalèm yo. Lèt la te ekri nan lang arameyen, e se pou yo te tradwi l' lè yo t'ap li l'. 8 (Dokiman arameyen an konmanse isit la). Se konsa Reyoum, gouvènè a, ak Chimchayi, ki te sekretè pwovens la, ekri yon lèt bay wa Atagzèsès sou keksyon lavil Jerizalèm lan. Men ki jan lèt te pati: 9 Se mwen menm, Reyoum, gouvènè a ak Chimchayi, sekretè pwovens la, ki ekri lèt sa a ansanm ak tout lòt kòlèg nou yo anplwaye gouvenman an, moun lavil Den, moun lavil Afasatak, moun lavil Tapèl, moun lavil Afaras, moun lavil Erèk, moun lavil Babilòn, moun lavil Souz, moun lavil Deya ak moun peyi Elam, 10 avèk chèf tout lòt pèp k'ap viv koulye a nan lavil peyi Samari yo ak nan rès pwovens ki bò solèy kouche larivyè Lefrat la. Se gran wa Asnapa, wa ki te fè tout moun respekte l' la, ki te depòte yo al fè yo viv kote yo ye koulye a. 11 Men kopi lèt yo te voye bay wa a. -Pou wa Atagzèsès. Se nou menm sèvitè ou yo, moun pwovens lòt bò larivyè Lefrat la, k'ap voye di ou bonjou. 12 Nou vle fè wa a konnen jwif yo soti nan tout teritwa ki sou lòd li yo, yo vini lavil Jerizalèm, epi y'ap rebati lavil sa a ki pa janm vle soumèt devan li epi ki toujou ap fè bagay ki mal. Y'ap travay pou rebati gwo miray ranpa lavil la, yo gen tan fini ak fondasyon an. 13 Nou vle fè wa a konnen, si moun sa yo rebati lavil la, si yo remoute miray ranpa a ankò, yo p'ap peye okenn taks, yo p'ap fè okenn kontribisyon, ni yo p'ap bay lajan yo fè moun peye pou pase lakay yo. Lè sa a se kès wa a menm ki pral fè defisi. 14 Men, paske nou respekte kontra nou gen avè ou la, monwa, nou pa ka rete konsa ap gade moun yo ap kraze enterè wa a. Se poutèt sa nou voye fè wa a konn sa, 15 pou l' ka fè rechèch nan achiv zansèt li yo te kite. Nan ansyen dokiman sa yo, l'a jwenn sa yo te ekri sou lavil sa a. L'a konnen jan lavil sa a pa te janm vle soumèt devan yo, li te toujou pare pou revòlte. Se poutèt sa yo te detwi lavil sa a nèt. 16 Nou fè wa a konnen si yo rebati lavil sa a, si yo refè miray ranpa li yo, talè konsa wa a p'ap gen yon teritwa pou li ankò nan pwovens bò solèy kouche larivyè Lefrat la.
Hungarian(i) 7 Artaxerxes napjaiban pedig Bislám, Mithredathes és Tábeél s ennek többi társai írtak vala Artaxerxeshez a persiai királyhoz, s e levelet arám betûkkel írták, mely azután arám nyelvre fordíttatott át. 8 Rehum, a helytartó és Simsai, a kanczellár, írának egy levelet Jeruzsálem ellen Artaxerxes királyhoz ekképen. 9 [Írának pedig] ekkor Rehum, a helytartó és Simsai, a kanczellár és ezeknek többi társaik: a Dineusok, Afársatakeusok, Tarpeleusok, Afárseusok, Arkeveusok, Babilóniabeliek, Susánkeusok, Dehaveusok és a Hélameusok. 10 És a többi népek, a kiket a nagy és dicsõséges Asznapár vitt el és tett lakosokká Samária városában és a többi városokban, melyek a folyóvizen túl vannak és a többi. 11 Ez mássa a levélnek, melyet hozzá, Artaxerxes királyhoz küldének: "A te szolgáid, a folyóvizen túl lévõ férfiak, és a többi. 12 Tudtára légyen a királynak, hogy a zsidók, a kik feljöttek tõled, megérkezének hozzánk Jeruzsálembe; a visszavonó és gonosz várost építik, a kõfalakat készítik s a fundamentomokat javítgatják. 13 Mostan tudtára légyen a királynak, hogy ha ez a város megépíttetik s a kõfalak elkészülnek, adót, rovást és úti vámot nem fognak fizetni, s a királyok jövedelmét megkárosítják. 14 Mostan, mivel a palota savával sózunk s épen ezért a király kárát nem illik elnéznünk, ez okért küldjük e levelet és tudatjuk a királylyal, 15 Hogy nézzen utána valaki atyáid történeteinek könyvében, és meg fogod találni a történetek könyvében, és megtudod, hogy e város visszavonó és királyokat és tartományokat megkárosító város volt, s hogy eleitõl fogva lázadások történtek abban, ezért pusztíttatott is el e város. 16 Tudatjuk mi a királylyal, hogy ha ez a város megépülend és a kõfalak elkészülnek: ennek miatta birtokod a folyóvizen túl nem lészen."
Indonesian(i) 7 Juga pada zaman pemerintahan Artahsasta, kaisar Persia, kejadian itu berulang: Bislam, Mitredat, Tabeel dan rekan-rekan mereka menulis surat kepada raja. Surat itu ditulis dalam bahasa Aram, dan harus diterjemahkan ketika dibacakan. 8 Artahsasta juga menerima surat mengenai Yerusalem. Surat itu dikirim oleh Gubernur Rehum dan Simsai sekretaris provinsi dan didukung oleh rekan-rekan mereka, yaitu para hakim dan semua pejabat Persia lain yang berasal dari Erekh, Babel, dan Susan di negeri Elam, 9 (4:8) 10 juga oleh bangsa-bangsa lain yang telah diangkut Asnapar Yang Agung dan disuruh menetap di kota Samaria dan di kota-kota lain dalam provinsi Efrat Barat. 11 Begini bunyi surat itu, "Ke hadapan Raja Artahsasta, dari para hamba Baginda yang tinggal di Efrat Barat. Salam. 12 Kiranya Baginda maklum, bahwa orang Yahudi yang telah meninggalkan wilayah-wilayah lain dalam kerajaan Baginda, kini menetap di Yerusalem dan sedang membangun kembali kota yang jahat dan suka memberontak itu. Mereka sudah mulai mendirikan lagi tembok-temboknya dan tak lama lagi akan menyelesaikan pekerjaan itu. 13 Jika kota itu berhasil dibangun kembali dan tembok-temboknya selesai didirikan, penduduknya tidak akan mau lagi membayar pajak, lalu pendapatan kerajaan akan berkurang. 14 Kami sudah berhutang budi kepada Baginda dan tidak ingin melihat Baginda dirugikan. Karena itu kami mengusulkan, 15 agar Baginda menyuruh meneliti arsip para leluhur Baginda. Dari isinya Baginda akan mengetahui bahwa kota Yerusalem memang suka memberontak dan sejak dahulu selalu merugikan para raja dan penguasa provinsi. Penduduknya selalu susah dipimpin. Itu sebabnya kota itu telah dihancurkan. 16 Jadi, kami yakin, bahwa apabila kota itu dibangun kembali dan tembok-temboknya didirikan, Baginda tidak akan dapat lagi menguasai provinsi Efrat Barat ini."
Italian(i) 7 E poi al tempo di Artaserse, Bislam, Mitredat, Tabeel, e gli altri suoi colleghi, scrissero ad Artaserse, re di Persia; e la scrittura e la lingua della lettera era siriaca. 8 Rehum, presidente del consiglio, e Simsai, segretario, scrissero una lettera al re Artaserse contro a Gerusalemme, di questo tenore. 9 Allora Rehum, presidente del consiglio, e Simsai, segretario, e gli altri lor colleghi, i Dinei, e gli Afarsatchei, i Tarpelei, gli Afarsei, gli Archevei, i Babiloni, i Susanchei, i Dehavei, gli Elamiti, 10 e gli altri popoli, che il grande e glorioso Osnappar avea tramutati di stanza, e fatti abitar nella città di Samaria, e gli altri di di là dal fiume, ecc. scrissero al re Artaserse. 11 Questo è il tenor della lettera che gli mandarono. Al re Artaserse: i tuoi servitori, gli uomini di qua dal fiume, ecc. 12 Il re sappia che i Giudei, che son venuti d’appresso a te a noi, son giunti in Gerusalemme; e che riedificano quella città ribella e malvagia; e rifanno interamente le mura, ed hanno già racconci i fondamenti. 13 Ora sappia il re, che se questa città è riedificata, e se le sue mura son rifatte, essi non pagheranno più tributo, nè taglia, nè gabella; e così quella città recherà danno alle entrate reali. 14 Ora, conciossiachè noi siamo salariati dal palazzo, e non sia cosa conveniente a noi il vedere che il re sia schernito, perciò abbiamo mandato a fare assapere la cosa al re. 15 Acciocchè cerchi nel libro delle memorie de’ suoi predecessori; e tu vi troverai, e conoscerai che questa città è una città ribella, e dannosa ai re ed alle provincie; e che già ab antico vi si fanno dentro congiure; per la qual cagione fu distrutta. 16 Noi facciamo assapere al re, che, se questa città è riedificata, e le sue mura son rifatte, la parte de’ suoi stati ch’è di qua dal fiume, non sarà più sua.
ItalianRiveduta(i) 7 Poi, al tempo d’Artaserse, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel e gli altri loro colleghi scrissero ad Artaserse, re di Persia. La lettera era scritta in caratteri aramaici e tradotta in aramaico. 8 Rehum il governatore e Scimshai il segretario scrissero una lettera contro Gerusalemme al re Artaserse, in questi termini: 9 La data. "Rehum il governatore, Scimshai il segretario, e gli altri loro colleghi di Din, d’Afarsathac, di Tarpel, d’Afaras, d’Erec, di Babilonia, di Shushan, di Deha, d’Elam, 10 e gli altri popoli che il grande e illustre Osnapar ha trasportati e stabiliti nella città di Samaria, e gli altri che stanno di là dal fiume…" ecc. 11 Ecco la copia della lettera che inviarono al re Artaserse: "I tuoi servi, la gente d’oltre il fiume, ecc. 12 Sappia il re che i Giudei che son partiti da te e giunti fra noi a Gerusalemme, riedificano la città ribelle e malvagia, ne rialzano le mura e ne restaurano le fondamenta. 13 Sappia dunque il re che, se questa città si riedifica e se le sue mura si rialzano, essi non pagheranno più né tributo né imposta né pedaggio, e il tesoro dei re n’avrà a soffrire. 14 Or siccome noi mangiamo il sale del palazzo e non ci sembra conveniente lo stare a vedere il danno del re, mandiamo al re questa informazione. 15 Si facciano delle ricerche nel libro delle memorie de’ tuoi padri; e nel libro delle memorie troverai e apprenderai che questa città è una città ribelle, perniciosa a re ed a province, e che fin da tempi antichi vi si son fatte delle sedizioni; per queste ragioni, la città è stata distrutta. 16 Noi facciamo sapere al re che, se questa città si riedifica e le sue mura si rialzano, tu non avrai più possessi da questo lato del fiume".
Korean(i) 7 아닥사스다 때에 비슬람과 미드르닷과 다브엘과 그 동료들이 바사 왕 아닥사스다에게 글을 올렸으니 그 글은 아람 문자와 아람 방언으로 써서 진술하였더라 8 방백 르훔과 서기관 심새가 아닥사스다왕에게 올려 예루살렘 백성을 고소한 그 글에 9 방백 르훔과 서기관 심새와 그 동료 디나 사람과 아바삿 사람과 다블래 사람과 아바새 사람과 아렉 사람과 바벨론 사람과 수산 사람과 데해 사람과 엘람 사람과 10 기타 백성 곧 존귀한 오스납발이 사마리아 성과 강 서편 다른 땅에 옮겨 둔 자들과 함께 고한다 하였더라 11 아닥사스다왕에게 올린 그 글의 초본은 이러하니 강 서편에 있는 신복들은 12 왕에게 고하나이다 왕에게서 올라온 유다 사람들이 우리의 곳 예루살렘에 이르러 이 패역하고 악한 성읍을 건축하는데 이미 그 지대를 수축하고 성곽을 건축하오니 13 이제 왕은 아시옵소서 만일 이 성읍을 건축하며 그 성곽을 마치면 저 무리가 다시는 조공과 잡세와 부세를 바치지 아니하리니 필경 왕들에게 손해가 되리이다 14 우리가 이제 궁의 소금을 먹는 고로 왕의 수치 당함을 참아 보지 못하여 보내어 왕에게 고하오니 15 왕은 열조의 사기를 살피시면 그 사기에서 이 성읍은 패역한 성읍이라 예로부터 그 중에서 항상 반역하는 일을 행하여 열왕과 각 도에 손해가 된 것을 보시고 아실지라 이 성읍이 훼파됨도 이 까닭이니이다 16 이제 감히 왕에게 고하오니 이 성읍이 중건되어 성곽을 필역하면 이로 말미암아 왕의 강 서편 영지가 없어지리이다 하였더라
Lithuanian(i) 7 Artakserkso dienomis Bišlamas, Mitredatas, Tabeelis ir kiti jų bendrai parašė persų karaliui Artakserksui laišką. Laiškas buvo parašytas aramėjų kalba. 8 Patarėjas Rehumas ir raštininkas Šimšajas rašė karaliui Artakserksui tokio turinio laišką prieš Jeruzalę: 9 “Patarėjas Rehumas, raštininkas Šimšajas ir kiti jų bendrai iš Dinajo, Afarsato, Tarpelio, Afaro, Erecho, Babilono, Sūzų, Dehavo, Elamo 10 ir kitų tautų, kurias didysis ir garbingasis Asnaparas atvedė ir įkurdino Samarijos miestuose ir kitose vietovėse šiapus upės”. 11 Tai nuorašas laiško, kurį jie pasiuntė: “Karaliui Artakserksui. Tavo tarnai, vyrai iš šiapus upės, 12 praneša karaliui, kad žydai, kurie iš tavo teritorijų atvyko pas mus, apsigyveno Jeruzalėje ir stato tą maištingą ir blogą miestą. Jie stato sienas ir stiprina pamatus. 13 Tebūna žinoma karaliui, kad jei tas miestas bus pastatytas ir jo sienos užbaigtos, jie nebemokės mokesčių, duoklės ir muito; karaliaus metinės pajamos dėl to sumažės. 14 Kadangi mes išlaikomi karaliaus rūmų ir nenorime, kad karaliaus garbė būtų pažeminta, todėl pasiuntėme pranešimą karaliui. 15 Tegul paieško žinių apie tą miestą savo tėvų metraščių knygose. Ten atrasi, kad tas miestas yra maištingas ir pavojingas karaliams bei kraštams. Maištai jame keliami nuo seno, todėl tas miestas ir buvo sugriautas. 16 Mes pranešame karaliui, kad jei tas miestas bus pastatytas ir jo sienos užbaigtos, tu neteksi valdų šioje upės pusėje”.
PBG(i) 7 Tak jako za dni Artakserksesa pisał Bislan, Mitrydates, Tabeel, i inni towarzysze jego do Artakserksesa króla Perskiego; a pismo listu tego napisane było po syryjsku, i wyłożone też było po syryjsku. 8 Rechum kanclerz, i Symsaj pisarz napisali list jeden przeciwko Jeruzalemowi do Artakserksesa króla w ten sposób: 9 To uczynili natenczas Rechum kanclerz, i Symsaj pisarz, i inni towarzysze ich, Dynajczycy, i Afarsadchajczycy, Tarpelajczycy, Afarsajczycy, Arkiewajczycy, Babilończycy, Susanchajczycy, Dehawejczycy i Elmajczycy; 10 I inne narody, które był przyprowadził Asnapar wielki i sławny, a osadził nimi miasta Samaryjskie; i inni, którzy byli za rzeką, i Cheenetczycy. 11 A tenci jest przepis listu, który posłali do Artakserksesa króla: 12 Słudzy twoi, ludzie mieszkający za rzeka, i Cheenetczycy. Niech będzie wiadomo królowi, że Żydowie, którzy się wrócili od ciebie, przyszedłszy do nas do Jeruzalemu, miasto odporne i złe budują, i mury zakładają, a z gruntu je wywodzą. 13 Przetoż niech będzie wiadomo królowi, Ze będzieli to miasto pobudowane, i mury jego z gruntu wywiedzione, tedy cła, czynszów, i dani dorocznej nie będą dawać, a tak dochodom królewskim ujma się stanie. 14 Teraz tedy, ponieważ używamy dobrodziejstw pałacu twego, na szkodę królewską nie godzi się nam patrzyć; dla tegośmy posłali, oznajmując to królowi, 15 Abyś dał szukać w księgach historyj ojców swoich, a znajdziesz w księgach historyj, i dowiesz się, iż to miasto jest miasto odporne i szkodliwe królom i krainom, a iż się w niem wszczynały bunty od dawnych dni, przez co to miasto było zburzone. 16 Nadto wiadomo czynimy królowi, że jeżli się to miasto pobuduje, i mury jego z gruntu wywiedzione będą, tedy już ta część za rzeką nie będzie twoja.
Portuguese(i) 7 Também nos dias de Artaxerxes escreveram Bislam, Mitrídates, Tabiel, e os companheiros destes, a Artaxerxes, rei da Pérsia; e a carta foi escrita em caracteres aramaicos, e traduzida na língua aramaica. 8 Reum, o comandante, e Chimechai, o escrivão, escreveram uma carta contra Jerusalém, ao rei Artaxerxes, do teor seguinte, 9 isto é, escreveram Reum, o comandante, Chimechai, o escrivão, e os seus companheiros, os juízes, os governadores, os oficiais, os persas, os homens de Ereque, os babilónios, os susanquitas, os deavitas, os elamitas, 10 e as demais nações que o grande e afamado Asnapar transportou, e que fez habitar na cidade de Samaria e no restante da província dalém do Rio. 11 Eis, pois, a cópia da carta que mandaram ao rei Artaxerxes: Teus servos, os homens de além do Rio, assim escrevem: 12 Saiba o rei que os judeus que subiram de ti a nós foram a Jerusalém e estão reedificando aquela rebelde e malvada cidade, e vão restaurando os seus muros e reparando os seus fundamentos. 13 Agora saiba o rei que, se aquela cidade for reedificada e os muros forem restaurados, eles não pagarão nem tributo, nem imposto, nem rendas; e assim se danificará a fazenda dos reis. 14 Agora, visto que comemos do sal do palácio, e não nos convém ver a desonra do rei, por isso mandamos dar aviso ao rei, 15 para que se busque no livro das crónicas de teus pais; e acharás no livro das crónicas e saberás que aquela é uma cidade rebelde, e danosa a reis e províncias, e que nela houve rebelião em tempos antigos; por isso é que ela foi destruída. 16 Nós, pois, estamos avisando ao rei que, se aquela cidade for reedificada e os seus muros forem restaurados, não terás porção alguma a oeste do Rio.
Norwegian(i) 7 Og i Artaxerxes' dager skrev Bislam, Mitredat, Tabe'el og hans andre embedsbrødre et brev til Artaxerxes, kongen i Persia; det var skrevet med syrisk skrift og oversatt til syrisk. 8 Rådsherren Rehum og statsskriveren Simsai skrev et brev mot Jerusalem til kong Artaxerxes; brevet hadde følgende innhold - 9 de som skrev dengang var: rådsherren Rehum og statsskriveren Simsai og deres andre embedsbrødre, de fra Dina og Afarsatka, Tarpela, Persia, Erek, Babel, Susan, Deha og Elam 10 og de andre folk som den store og navnkundige Osnappar førte bort og lot bo i byen Samaria og ellers i landet hinsides* elven, og så videre. / {* vestenfor.} 11 Dette er en avskrift av det brev som de sendte til ham - til kong Artaxerxes: Dine tjenere mennene hinsides elven, og så videre. 12 Det være kongen vitterlig at jødene som drog bort fra det sted hvor du bor, er kommet hit til oss, til Jerusalem, og nu holder på å bygge op igjen den oprørske og onde by og fullføre murene og utbedre grunnvollene. 13 Men nu være det kongen vitterlig at dersom denne by blir bygget op igjen og murene fullført, så vil de hverken gi skatt eller toll eller veipenger, og det vil til sist bli til skade for kongene. 14 Efterdi vi nu eter palassets salt, og det ikke sømmer sig for oss å se med ro på at det voldes kongen skade, så sender vi nu bud og lar kongen få dette å vite, 15 forat du kan la granske i dine fedres krønike; da vil du i krøniken finne og se at denne by har vært en oprørsk by, som har voldt skade for konger og land, og at de har gjort oprør der fra gammel tid; derfor er også denne by blitt ødelagt. 16 Så lar vi nu kongen vite at dersom denne by blir bygget op igjen og murene fullført, så vil følgen derav bli at du ikke mere vil ha nogen del igjen av landet hinsides* elven. / {* ESR 4, 10.}
Romanian(i) 7 Şi pe vremea lui Artaxerxe, Bişlam, Mitredat, Tabeel, şi ceilalţi tovarăşi de slujbă ai lor, au scris lui Artaxerxe, împăratul Perşilor. Scrisoarea a fost scrisă cu slove aramaice şi tălmăcită în limba aramaică. 8 Dregătorul Rehum şi logofătul Şimşai au scris împăratului Artaxerxe scrisoarea următoare la Ierusalim. 9 Dregătorul Rehum, logofătul Şimşai, şi ceilalţi tovarăşi de slujbă ai lor, cei din Din, din Arfarsatac, din Tarpel, din Afaras, din Erec, din Babilon, din Susa, din Deha, din Elam, 10 şi celelalte popoare pe cari le -a mutat marele şi vestitul Osnapar şi le -a aşezat în cetatea Samariei, şi în celelalte locuri de dincoace de Rîu, şi aşa mai departe. 11 Iată cuprinsul scrisorii pe care au trimes -o împăratului Artaxerxe:,,Robii tăi, oamenii de dincoace de Rîu, şi aşa mai departe... 12 Să ştie împăratul că Iudeii plecaţi dela tine şi veniţi printre noi la Ierusalim zidesc din nou cetatea aceea răzvrătită şi rea, îi ridică zidurile şi -i dreg temeliile. 13 Să ştie dar împăratul că, dacă se va zidi cetatea aceasta şi i se vor ridica zidurile, nu vor mai plăti nici bir, nici dare, nici drept de trecere, şi vistieria împărătească va suferi din pricina aceasta. 14 Şi, fiindcă noi mîncăm sarea curţii domneşti şi nu ne şade bine să vedem pe împărat păgubit, trimitem împăratului aceste ştiri. 15 Să se facă cercetări în cartea cronicilor părinţilor tăi; şi vei găsi şi vei vedea în cartea cronicilor că cetatea aceasta este o cetate răzvrătită, vătămătoare împăraţilor şi ţinuturilor, şi că s'au dedat la răscoală încă din vremuri străbune. De aceea a fost nimicită cetatea aceasta. 16 Facem cunoscut împăratului că dacă va fi zidită din nou cetatea aceasta, şi dacă i se vor ridica zidurile, prin chiar faptul acesta nu vei mai avea stăpînire dincoace de Rîu.``
Ukrainian(i) 7 А за днів Артаксеркса написав Бішлам, Мітредат, Товеїл та решта товаришів його до Артаксеркса, царя перського. А лист був написаний по-арамейськи, а перекладений по-перськи. 8 Начальник Рехум та писар Шімай написали одного листа проти Єрусалиму до царя Артаксеркса отак. 9 Тоді начальник Рехум та писар Шімшай та решта товаришів його, судді й урядники, писарчуки, писарі, аркев'яни, вавилоняни, шушаняни, цебто еламіти, 10 та решта народів, яких повиганяв Аснаппар, великий та славний, й осадив їх у місті Самарії та в решті Заріччя. 11 Оце відпис листа, що послали до нього: До царя Артаксеркса твої раби, люди Заріччя. І ось 12 щоб було відоме цареві, що Юдеї, які вийшли від тебе до нас, прибули до Єрусалиму. Вони будують місто бунтівниче та шкідливе, і вдосконалюють мури, а підвалини поліпшили. 13 А тепер щоб було відоме цареві, що коли тільки це місто буде збудоване, а мури закінчаться, вони не будуть давати ані данини, ані податку, ані мита, а це буде шкодити царському прибуткові. 14 І ото, беручи на увагу, що сіль царського палацу сіль наша, а царський сором не випадає нам бачити, тому ми посилаємо й завідомляємо царя, 15 щоб пошукали в книзі споминів батьків твоїх, і ти знайдеш у книзі споминів, і знатимеш, що місто це місто бунтівниче та шкідливе царям та округам, і що в ньому підіймали бунт від правіку, чому місто це було зруйноване. 16 Ми сповіщаємо царя, що коли тільки місто це буде добудоване, а мури закінчаться, то через те не буде тобі частки в Заріччі.
