Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not finished.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 5 of Ezra. The account recalls that Cyrus allowed the reconstruction and returned the temple vessels. Tattenai asks Darius to verify in the archives whether this decree really existed. The narrative joins providence and documentation: the project’s continuation depends both on God’s word and on an imperial authorization that can be recovered from official records.

Da kam derselbe Sesbazar und legte den Grund am Hause Gottes zu Jerusalem. Seit der Zeit baut man, und es ist noch nicht vollendet.
Entonces este Sesbassar vino, y puso los fundamentos de la casa de Dios que estaba en Jerusalem, y desde entonces hasta ahora se edifica, y aun no está acabada.
Entonces este Sesbasar vino y puso los cimientos de la casa de Dios que está en Jerusalén. Desde entonces hasta ahora está en construcción y no ha sido terminada”.
Ce Scheschbatsar est donc venu, et il a posé les fondements de la maison de Dieu à Jérusalem; depuis lors jusqu'à présent elle se construit, et elle n'est pas achevée.
Allora questo Sesbassar venne, e pose i fondamenti della Casa di Dio, che è in Gerusalemme; e da quel tempo infino ad ora ella si edifica, e non è ancora compiuta.
Então veio este Sesbazar, e pôs os fundamentos da casa de Deus, que está em Jerusalém e desde então para cá se está reedificando, e ainda não está acabada.
於是那位 設巴薩 來建立 耶路撒冷 上帝殿的根基。但從那時直到如今,這殿尚未修建完畢。』
