Be it known unto the king, that the Jews that came up from thee are come to us unto Jerusalem; they are building the rebellious and the bad city, and have finished the walls, and repaired the foundations.

We give news to the king that the Jews who came from you have come to us at Jerusalem; they are building up again that uncontrolled and evil town; the walls are complete and they are joining up the bases.

Γνωστον εστω εις τον βασιλεα, οτι οι Ιουδαιοι οι αναβαντες απο σου προς ημας, ελθοντες εις Ιερουσαλημ, οικοδομουσι την πολιν, την αποστατιδα και πονηραν, και εγειρουσι τον τοιχον και συναπτουσι τα θεμελια.

Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls thereof, and joined the foundations.
