Translations
It wasn't long before Tattenai, the Persian governor of the region Beyond the River, along with Shethar-Bozenai and their colleagues, showed up and demanded: 'Who gave you authorization to build this house and raise up these walls?'
At that time Tattenai, governor of Avar-Nahara, and Shetar-Boznai and their associates came to them and spoke thus: 'Who issued you a decree to build this House, and to complete this structure?'
At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai, and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?
At that time Tattenai the governor of the region west of the Euphrates, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates went to the Jews and asked, “Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and restore this structure?”
