Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be given from me.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 4 of Ezra. The search of the archives leads the king to confirm that Jerusalem had a history of rebellion. He orders the work to stop and commands that the city not be rebuilt until further notice. The decision demonstrates imperial authority over the project, but it also prepares the later contrast when another decree will allow the work to continue.

So tut nun nach diesem Befehl: Wehrt denselben Männern, daß diese Stadt nicht gebaut werde, bis daß von mir der Befehl gegeben werde.
Ahora pues dad orden que cesen aquellos hombres, y no sea esa ciudad edificada, hasta que por mí sea dado mandamiento.
Ahora den orden de que esos hombres cesen, y que esta ciudad no sea reconstruida hasta que yo dé la orden.
En conséquence, ordonnez de faire cesser les travaux de ces gens, afin que cette ville ne se rebâtisse point avant une autorisation de ma part.
Ora dunque provvedete di far cessare quelle genti, acciocchè cotesta città non si riedifichi, finchè da me sia altrimenti ordinato;
Agora, pois, dai ordem para impedirdes aqueles homens, a fim de que não se edifique aquela cidade, até que eu dê uma ordem.
現在你們要下令叫這些人停工,使這城不得建造,等到我再降旨。
