they came to Zerubbabel and to the heads of the families and said,“ Let us help you build because, like you, we seek your God and have been sacrificing to him since the time of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us here.”

Then those enemies came to Zerubbabel. The family leaders of Israel were with him. The enemies said,“ We want to help you build. We’re just like you. We worship your God. We offer sacrifices to him. We’ve been doing that ever since the time of Esarhaddon. He was king of Assyria. He brought our people here.”

they approached Zerubbabel and the heads of fathers’ houses and said to them,“ Let us build with you, for we worship your God as you do, and we have been sacrificing to him ever since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria who brought us here.”

So they approached Zerubbabel and the other leaders and said,“ Let us build with you, for we worship your God just as you do. We have sacrificed to him ever since King Esarhaddon of Assyria brought us here.”

they approached Zerubbabel and the family heads and said to them,“ Let us build with you, for we also worship your God and have been sacrificing to him since the time King Esar-haddon of Assyria brought us here.”

they approached Zerubbabel and the heads of fathers’ households, and said to them,“ Let us build with you, for like you, we seek your God; and we have been sacrificing to Him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us up here.”

they came to Zerubbabel and the heads of the fathers’ houses, and said to them,“ Let us build with you, for we seek your God as you do; and we have sacrificed to Him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us here.”

then they drew near to Zerubbabel, and to the heads of fathers’ houses, and said unto them, Let us build with you; for we seek your God, as ye do; and we sacrifice unto him since the days of Esar- haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up hither.

they approached Zerubbabel and the leaders of the families and said to them,“ Let us build with you, for we also worship your God and have been sacrificing to Him since the time King Esar-haddon of Assyria brought us here.”

Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye[ do]; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assur, which brought us up hither.

they came to Zerubbabel and the leaders and said to them,“ Let us help you build, for like you we seek your God and we have been sacrificing to him from the time of King Esarhaddon of Assyria, who brought us here.”

they came near to Zerubbabel, and to the heads of fathers’ households, and said to them,“ Let us build with you; for we seek your God, as you do; and we have been sacrificing to him since the days of Esar Haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up here.”

一日，他在他的神明尼斯洛廟裏叩拜，他兒子亞得米勒和沙利色用刀殺了他，然後逃到亞拉臘地；他兒子以撒‧哈頓接續他作王。

亞述王從巴比倫、古他、亞瓦、哈馬和西法瓦音遷移人來，安置在撒瑪利亞的城鎮，代替以色列人；他們就佔據了撒瑪利亞，住在城中。

這樣，這些國家又懼怕耶和華，又事奉他們的偶像。他們子子孫孫也都照樣行，效法他們的祖宗，直到今日。

亞述王吩咐說：「當派一個從那裏擄來的祭司回去，叫他住在那裏，將那地之神的規矩指導他們。」於是有一個從撒瑪利亞擄去的祭司回來，住在伯特利，教導他們怎樣敬畏耶和華。然而，各國的人在所住的城裏為自己製造神像，安置在撒瑪利亞人所建有丘壇的廟中。巴比倫人造疏割‧比訥像；古他人造匿甲像；哈馬人造亞示瑪像；亞瓦人造匿哈和他珥他像；西法瓦音人用火焚燒兒女，獻給西法瓦音的神明亞得米勒和亞拿米勒。他們懼怕耶和華，卻從他們中間立丘壇的祭司，在丘壇的廟中為他們獻祭。他們懼怕耶和華，但又事奉自己的神明，從何邦遷來，就隨從那裏的風俗，

他們譏笑人，憑惡意說欺壓人的話。他們說話自高；

他從那地出來往亞述去，建造了尼尼微、利河伯、迦拉，

約薩達的兒子耶書亞和他的弟兄眾祭司，以及撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和他的弟兄，都起來建築以色列神的壇，要照神人摩西律法書上所寫的，在壇上獻燔祭。

然而有許多祭司、利未人和族長，就是見過先前那殿的老年人，現在親眼看見這殿立了根基，就大聲哭號，也有許多人大聲歡呼，

火熱的嘴唇，邪惡的心，好像銀渣包在瓦器上。仇敵用嘴唇掩飾，心裏卻藏着詭詐；他用甜言蜜語，你不能相信他，因為他心中有七樣可憎惡的事。他雖用詭詐掩飾怨恨，他的邪惡必在集會中顯露。

從前雅尼和佯庇怎樣反對摩西，這等人也怎樣抵擋真理；他們的心地敗壞，信仰經不起考驗。

於是，猶大和便雅憫的族長、祭司、利未人，凡是心被神感動的人都起來，要上耶路撒冷去建造耶和華的殿。

那樣的人是假使徒，行事詭詐，裝作基督的使徒。這也不足為奇，因為連撒但也裝作光明的天使。所以，他的差役若裝作公義的差役也沒有甚麼大不了。他們的結局必然跟他們的行為相符。

從前在民間有假先知起來；同樣，將來在你們中間也會有假教師，偷偷地引進使人滅亡的異端。他們甚至不認買他們的主人，自取迅速滅亡。許多人會隨從他們淫蕩的行為，以致真理之道因他們的緣故被毀謗。

他們是同所羅巴伯、耶書亞、尼希米、西萊雅、利來雅、末底改、必珊、米斯拔、比革瓦伊、利宏、巴拿一起回來的。以色列百姓的人數如下：

亞述不能救我們，我們不再騎馬，也不再對我們手所造的偶像說：『你是我們的神』；孤兒在你那裏得蒙憐憫。」

因為有偷着混進來的假弟兄，暗中窺探我們在基督耶穌裏擁有的自由，要使我們作奴隸，

亞述王西拿基立就拔營回去，住在尼尼微。
