- Now then, Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and you, their fellow officials of that province, stay away from there.
- Do not interfere with the work on this temple of God. Let the governor of the Jews and the Jewish elders rebuild this house of God on its site.
- Moreover, I hereby decree what you are to do for these elders of the Jews in the construction of this house of God: The expenses of these men are to be fully paid out of the royal treasury, from the revenues of Trans-Euphrates, so that the work will not stop.
- Whatever is needed--young bulls, rams, male lambs for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, and wheat, salt, wine and oil, as requested by the priests in Jerusalem--must be given them daily without fail,
- so that they may offer sacrifices pleasing to the God of heaven and pray for the well-being of the king and his sons.

- 现在河西的总督达乃和示他波斯乃,并你们的同党,就是住河西的亚法萨迦人,你们当远离他们。
- 不要拦阻神殿的工作,任凭犹大人的省长,和犹大人的长老,在原处建造神的这殿。
- 我又降旨,吩咐你们向犹大人的长老为建造神的殿当怎样行,就是从河西的款项中,急速拨取贡银作他们的经费,免得耽误工作。
- 他们与天上的神献燔祭所需用的公牛犊,公绵羊,绵羊羔,并所用的麦子,盐,酒,油,都要照耶路撒冷祭司的话,每日供给他们,不得有误。
- 好叫他们献馨香的祭给天上的神,又为王和王众子的寿命祈祷。
