3 Sa arriti muaji i shtatë dhe bijtë e Izraelit ishin në qytetet e tyre, populli u mblodh si një njeri i vetëm në Jeruzalem.
2 Atëherë Jeshua, bir i Jotsadakut, bashkë me vëllezërit e tij priftërinj dhe me Zorobabelin, birin e Shealtielit me gjithë vëllezërit e tij, u ngritën dhe ndërtuan altarin e Perëndisë të Izraelit, për t’i ofruar olokauste, siç është shkruar në ligjin e Moisiut, njeriut të Perëndisë.
3 E rivendosën altarin mbi themelet e tij, megjithëse kishin frikë nga popujt e tokave të afërta, dhe mbi të i ofruan olokauste Zotit, olokaustet e mëngjesit dhe të mbrëmjes.
4 Kremtuan gjithashtu festën e Kasolleve, ashtu siç është shkruar, dhe ofruan çdo ditë olokauste, në bazë të numrit që kërkohej për çdo ditë.
5 Pastaj ofruan olokaustin e përjetshëm, olokaustet e hënës së re dhe të gjitha festave të përcaktuara nga Zoti, dhe ato të cilitdo që i bënte një ofertë vullnetare Zotit.
6 Nga dita e parë e muajit të shtatë filluan t’i ofrojnë olokauste Zotit, por themelet e tempullit të Zotit nuk ishin hedhur ende.
7 Pastaj u dhanë para gurëgdhendësve dhe marangozëve, si dhe ushqime, pije dhe vaj atyre të Sidonit dhe të Tiros që të sillnin dru kedri nga Libani në bazë të koncesionit që kishte marrë Kiri, mbret i Persisë.
8 Në muajin e dytë të vitit të dytë të arritjes së tyre në shtëpinë e Perëndisë në Jeruzalem, Zorobabeli, bir i Shealtielit, Jeshua, bir i Jotsadakut, vëllezërit e tjerë të tyre priftërinj dhe Levitët si dhe tërë ata që ishin kthyer nga robëria në Jeruzalem filluan punimet, dhe ngarkuan Levitët që ishin njëzet vjeç e lart të drejtonin punimet e shtëpisë të Zotit.
9 Atëherë Jeshua me bijtë e tij dhe vëllezërit e tij, Kadmieli me bijtë e tij dhe bijtë e Judës u ngritën si një njeri i vetëm për të drejtuar ata që punonin në shtëpinë e Perëndisë; po kështu vepruan bijtë e Henadadit me bijtë e tyre dhe vëllezërit e tyre, Levitët.
10 Kur ndërtuesit hodhën themelet e tempullit të Zotit, ishin të pranishëm priftërinjtë të veshur me rrobat e tyre dhe me bori dhe Levitët, bijtë e Asafit, me cembale për të lëvduar Zotin sipas udhëzimeve të Davidit, mbretit të Izraelit.
11 Ata këndonin, kremtonin dhe lëvdonin Zotin, "Sepse ai është i mirë, sepse mirësia e tij ndaj Izraelit është e përjetshme". Tërë populli lëshonte britma të forta gëzimi, duke lëvduar Zotin, sepse ishin hedhur themelet e shtëpisë së Zotit.
12 Shumë priftërinj, Levitët dhe krerë të shtëpive atërore, pleq, që kishin parë tempullin e parë, qanin me zë të lartë kur hidheshin themelet e këtij tempulli para syve të tyre. Shumë të tjerë përkundrazi bërtisnin fort nga gëzimi,
13 kështu që njerëzit nuk mund të dallonin zhurmën e britmave të gëzimit nga ajo e vajit të popullit, sepse populli lëshonte britma të forta, dhe zhurma e tyre dëgjohej nga larg.

Rebuilding the Altar
3 When the seventh month came and the Israelites had settled in their towns,(A) the people assembled(B) together as one in Jerusalem. 2 Then Joshua(C) son of Jozadak(D) and his fellow priests and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel(E) and his associates began to build the altar of the God of Israel to sacrifice burnt offerings on it, in accordance with what is written in the Law of Moses(F) the man of God. 3 Despite their fear(G) of the peoples around them, they built the altar on its foundation and sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the Lord, both the morning and evening sacrifices.(H) 4 Then in accordance with what is written, they celebrated the Festival of Tabernacles(I) with the required number of burnt offerings prescribed for each day. 5 After that, they presented the regular burnt offerings, the New Moon(J) sacrifices and the sacrifices for all the appointed sacred festivals of the Lord,(K) as well as those brought as freewill offerings to the Lord. 6 On the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, though the foundation of the Lord’s temple had not yet been laid.
Rebuilding the Temple
7 Then they gave money to the masons and carpenters,(L) and gave food and drink and olive oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre, so that they would bring cedar logs(M) by sea from Lebanon(N) to Joppa, as authorized by Cyrus(O) king of Persia.
8 In the second month(P) of the second year after their arrival at the house of God in Jerusalem, Zerubbabel(Q) son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jozadak and the rest of the people (the priests and the Levites and all who had returned from the captivity to Jerusalem) began the work. They appointed Levites twenty(R) years old and older to supervise the building of the house of the Lord. 9 Joshua(S) and his sons and brothers and Kadmiel and his sons (descendants of Hodaviah[a]) and the sons of Henadad and their sons and brothers—all Levites—joined together in supervising those working on the house of God.
10 When the builders laid(T) the foundation of the temple of the Lord, the priests in their vestments and with trumpets,(U) and the Levites (the sons of Asaph) with cymbals, took their places to praise(V) the Lord, as prescribed by David(W) king of Israel.(X) 11 With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the Lord:
“He is good;
his love toward Israel endures forever.”(Y)
And all the people gave a great shout(Z) of praise to the Lord, because the foundation(AA) of the house of the Lord was laid. 12 But many of the older priests and Levites and family heads, who had seen the former temple,(AB) wept(AC) aloud when they saw the foundation of this temple being laid, while many others shouted for joy. 13 No one could distinguish the sound of the shouts of joy(AD) from the sound of weeping, because the people made so much noise. And the sound was heard far away.

King James Version
3 And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
2 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3 And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
4 They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;
5 And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the Lord that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the Lord.
6 From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the Lord. But the foundation of the temple of the Lord was not yet laid.
7 They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
8 Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the Lord.
9 Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.
10 And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
11 And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid.
12 But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
13 So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
