Then answered {H7725}{H1697} I them, and said {H559} unto them, The God {H430} of heaven {H8064}, he will prosper {H6743} us; therefore we his servants {H5650} will arise {H6965} and build {H1129}: but ye have no portion {H2506}, nor right {H6666}, nor memorial {H2146}, in Jerusalem {H3389}.

But I answered them: "The God of heaven will enable us to succeed. Therefore we his servants will set about rebuilding. But you have no share, right or history to commemorate in Yerushalayim."

So I answered them and said, “The God of heaven is the One who will grant us success. We, His servants, will start rebuilding, but you have no portion, right, or claim in Jerusalem.”

Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.
