Esdras 6 - Bíblia Online

O rei Dario com efeito mandou pesquisar nos diversos arquivos onde os documentos eram guardados. 
Na verdade foi encontrado no palácio de Acmeta, na província de Média, um relato que dizia assim: 
No primeiro ano do reinado de Ciro, foi publicado um decreto respeitante ao templo de Deus em Jerusalém, onde os judeus fazem os seus sacrifícios de culto. Esse templo deverá ser reconstruído, e os seus alicerces refeitos. Terá trinta metros de altura e igual medida para a sua largura. Os alicerces serão compostos de três carreiras de grandes pedras, terminando com uma carreira de madeira nova. Todas as despesas serão pagas pelo rei. Os vasos de ouro e de prata que tinham sido levados do templo de Deus pelo rei Nabucodonozor deverão voltar para Jerusalém e ser postos no templo, como antes. 
O governador Tatenai, Setar-Bozenai e os outros deram imediatamente cumprimento às ordens do rei Dario. 
Os chefes judeus continuaram a obra e eram grandemente encorajados pelas pregações dos profetas Ageu e Zacarias (filho de Ido). Por fim o templo ficou terminado, conforme o Senhor mandara e conforme as ordens de Ciro, de Dario e de Artaxerxes, reis da Pérsia. 
Era o dia 18 de Fevereiro do sexto ano do reinado de Dario. 
O templo foi então consagrado, no meio de grandes manifestações de júbilo pelos sacerdotes, levitas e todo o povo. 
Durante essas celebrações foram sacrificados cem novilhos, duzentos carneiros e quatrocentos cordeiros. Foram também apresentados doze cabritos como sacrifício pelo pecado, em nome das doze tribos de Israel. 
Então os sacerdotes e levitas dividiram-se nos seus vários grupos de funções, em vistas de executarem o serviço de Deus conforme as instruções dadas por Moisés. 
A Páscoa foi celebrada no primeiro dia de Abril . Por essa altura muitos dos sacerdotes e dos levitas se tinham consagrado já. Alguns dos povos que já estavam na terra antes dos retornados voltarem, e que tinham sido colocados em Judá para a terra não ficar abandonada, deixaram os seus costumes pagãos e juntaram-se aos israelitas para adorarem o Senhor Deus. Eles também, conjuntamente com toda a nação, comeram a Páscoa e celebraram a festa dos pães sem fermento durante sete dias. Havia grande alegria em toda a terra por o Senhor ter feito o rei da Assíria generoso para com Israel, ajudando até na reconstrução do templo. 

Then Darius the king made a decree, and a search was made in the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon. 
And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a roll, and in it was thus written for a record: 
In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be built, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid; its height threescore cubits, and its width threescore cubits; 
with three courses of great stones, and a course of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house. 
And also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place; and you will put them in the house of God. 
Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and your{+} fellow slaves the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, be{+} far from there: 
let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place. 
Moreover I make a decree what you{+} will do to these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses will be given with all diligence to these [work]men, that they are not hindered. 
And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for burnt-offerings to the God of heaven; [also] wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given to them day by day without fail; 
that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savor to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons. 
Also I have made a decree, that whoever will alter this word, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened on it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this: 
and the God who has caused his name to stay there overthrow all kings and peoples who will put forth their hand to alter [the same], to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence. 
Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their fellow slaves, because Darius the king had sent, did accordingly with all diligence. 
And the elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia. 
And this house was finished on the twenty-third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king. 
And the sons of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy. 
And they offered at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel. 
And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the Book of Moses. 
And the sons of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth [day] of the first month. 
For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves, all of them as one, but all the exiles had not purified themselves; for the Levites, all of them as one, were pure: and they killed the Passover for all the sons of the captivity, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves. 
And the sons of Israel that had come again out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, ate, 
and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for Yahweh had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
