This sentence means basically the same thing as the last sentence in 6:6. Darius says essentially the same thing twice for emphasis. If that would be confusing for your readers, you could combine the two sentences and express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation for both sentences: [do not interfere with the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem in any way] However, there is a slight difference in meaning, and you could also choose to bring that out in your translation. The second phrase is more specific. It says precisely what Darius wants these Samaritan officials to leave alone. Alternate translation: [Do not interfere with what is happening in Jerusalem. Do not disturb the work on the temple there!]

As in 5:15, this expression means “Let … rebuild the temple on its original site.” You could say that as an alternate translation.
