Da odda peopo dass not Jew guys, dat awready stay dea, dey stay agains da Judah an Benjamin peopo. Dose guys find out da peopo dat come back from Babylon wen start fo build one new Temple Fo Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo. 
Cuz a dat, da peopo dass not Jew guys go by Zerubbabel an da odda leada guys. Dey tell, “Us like work wit you guys fo build da Temple. Cuz us guys pray to yoa God, jalike you guys. From da time King Esarhaddon bring us ova hea from Assyria side, us guys stay make sacrifice to yoa God.” 
But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, an da odda leada guys fo da Israel peopo tell um, “Dis job fo build da Temple, az fo us guys, not fo you guys. Ony us guys, da ones dat goin build da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, da God fo us Israel peopo. Cuz dass how King Cyrus Persia side wen tell us we gotta do.” 
From dat time, da odda peopos dass not Jew guys dat live aroun dea make da Judah peopo lose fight, an try fo make um real sked fo dem no go work. 
Da odda peopos pay some guys fo teach dem da bestes way fo jam up da work da Judah peopo get plan fo do, an dey make um stop da work. Fo long time dey do all dis kine stuff, from da time Cyrus was da big king Persia side, till afta Darius Numba Two take ova. 
Long time afta dat, same ting happen one mo time. Anodda king name Xerxes come da big king Persia side. Da peopo dat stay agains da Judah peopo write anodda letta fo sen to King Xerxes fo poin finga da Judah an Jerusalem peopo. 
An layta, wen Artaxerxes come da big king fo da Persia land afta King Xerxes, da peopo dat stay agains da Judah peopo do da same ting one mo time. Dea leadas was Bishlam, Mitredat, an Tabeel. Dey use da Aram language fo write da letta. Wen da letta get to Persia, da peopo dea write um in da Persia language fo da big king ova dea read um. 
Dea main govmen guy fo Judah, Rehum, an da secretary fo da court, Shimshai, wen write one letta fo King Artaxerxes, an tell him bout da tings dat stay happen Jerusalem side. 
Inside da letta, da peopo dat live aroun Jerusalem sen dea aloha to da king an all his frenz—from da main govmen guy Rehum an Shimshai da court secretary, an all da judge guys, da local leada guys, da peopo from Tappel, da Persia peopo, an da peopo from Babylon town, Erech town, an Susa town (dass da main town Elam side). 
All da odda peopos dat da big an importan King Ashurbanipal kick outa dea land befo time an make um go live Samaria side, an all ova da West Eufrates Side, all dem sen dea aloha to you too. Dis, da letta dey wen write fo Artaxerxes: 
“Aloha. Dis letta fo King Artaxerxes, from da peopo dat stay tight wit you, an dat live inside da West Eufrates Side. 
“We like you know dis: Da Jew guys dat wen come hea Jerusalem town from Babylon, dey stay build one big town. Dey no like do wat da king tell um fo do cuz dey real bad peopo. Dey awready build da foundation fo da strong wall aroun da town, an dey almos pau put up da wall. 
“But we like you know anodda ting too: If dey build dis town dat was all bus up, an if dey pau build da walls, no goin be good fo you. Da Jew guys no goin pay you da tax money, no matta you da King. 
“Us guys like stay tight wit you cuz you oua King! We no like see peopo jalike da Jew guys no show respeck fo you. Az why we stay sen dis letta, so you goin know wat dey stay do. 
“Good if you look inside da court records dat yoa ancesta guys wen write. You goin find out how da peopo from dis big town wen like ovathrow da govmen from Babylon side befo time. Az why da Babylon kings wen sen dea army guys fo wipe out da town. From long time befo time, da Jerusalem peopo make trouble agains all da diffren countries dat take um ova, an agains dea king guys. 
We stay tell you now, dat if dey pau build dis town one mo time an put up da strong wall all aroun, you no goin stay in charge a da West Eufrates Side.” 
King Artaxerxes write dis letta back to dem: “Aloha. Dis letta fo Govna Rehum, Court Secretary Shimshai, an dea peopo dat stay live Samaria town an all ova da West Eufrates Side. 
“Da letta you guys wen sen me wit da Aram language, peopo hea wen write um my language fo somebody read um to me. 
I wen tell my peopo fo look inside da court records. Jalike you tell, befo time Jerusalem town was one place dat fo long time make war wit plenny kings. Dey go agains da kings an talk bad bout da govmen an dey do dat all da time! 
Da kings from dat side dat wen live inside Jerusalem an da whole West Eufrates Side, dey was strong, an dey get plenny tax money from ova dea dat side. 
“Az why tell da Jerusalem peopo dat me, da Big King, tell dis: Dey no can work. Ony if I tell um fo build um, den az okay fo dem build um! But dass da ony way dey goin build up dat town dat stay all bus up. 
Tell um dey gotta stop. No good us guys let um take ova an jam up eryting fo me, da King!” 
Wen dat letta from King Artaxerxes come back to Rehum, Shimshai, an da odda guys, dey go real fas to Jerusalem town, an dey make da Jew guys stop da work. Dass wat wen happen all ova one mo time, plenny year afta da Zerubbabel guys do dea work. 
Da peopo wit Zerubbabel, dey get plenny presha from da odda peopos dat live aroun dea. Az how dey stop da work fo build da Temple Fo God Jerusalem side. So notting happen ova dea from King Cyrus time, till da year numba two afta King Darius come da big king Persia side.
