OET-LV And_from_me a_decree it_is_made to_whatever that you(pl)_will_do with the_elders_of the_Yəhūdī these to_build the_house_of the_god this and_from_the_properti(es)_of Oh/the_king which is_the_tribute_of the_region_beyond the_river diligently the_expense let_it_be given to_the_men these that not to_make_to_cease.
OET (OET-RV) So here’s my decree about what should be done for those Jewish elders to build that house of God: Using the king’s treasures that come from the tribute of that west-Euphrates province, let those workers costs be regularly reimbursed so that the work doesn’t stop.

If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form. Alternate translation: [This is what I am commanding you to do to help the elders of the Jews rebuild that temple]

If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form, and you could say who would do the action. Alternate translation: [I want you officials to carefully pay the full costs of the rebuilding from the royal treasury from the tribute that you receive in Beyond-the-River province]

Darius speaks of himself here in the third person. If that is confusing in your language, you can use the first person. Alternate translation: [And from my royal revenue]

דִּי־לָ֥א לְבַטָּלָֽא
(Some words not found in UHB: and,from,me make decree to,whatever that do with elders_of of,the_Jews these to,build house_of the=god this and,from,the_properti(es)_of Oh/the=king that/who taxes_of province_beyond the,river in_full the,expense be paid to,the,men these that/who not to,make_to_cease )
Here, it means the work of rebuilding the temple. Darius is using a figure of speech that expresses a strong positive meaning by using a negative word, not, together with a word, stop, that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this plainly. Alternate translation: [in order to make sure that the rebuilding is completed successfully]
דִּי־לָ֥א לְבַטָּלָֽא
(Some words not found in UHB: and,from,me make decree to,whatever that do with elders_of of,the_Jews these to,build house_of the=god this and,from,the_properti(es)_of Oh/the=king that/who taxes_of province_beyond the,river in_full the,expense be paid to,the,men these that/who not to,make_to_cease )
However, since the book uses the term stop when describing the opposition to the temple rebuilding in 4:21, 4:23, 4:24, and 5:5, you could also choose to use that term to show the connection. Alternate translation: [because I do not want anything to stop the Jews from rebuilding that temple]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
