Then the same Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of God’s house which is in Jerusalem. Since that time even until now it has been being built, and yet it is not completed.

ગુજરાતીએઝરા ૫:૧૬
પછી શેશ્બાસારે આવીને ઈશ્વરના એ સભાસ્થાનનો પાયો યરુશાલેમમાં નાખ્યો; અને ત્યારથી તેનું બાંધકામ ચાલુ છે, પણ તે હજી પૂરું થયું નથી.’”
हिन्दीएज्रा ५:१६
तब उसी शेशबस्सर ने आकर परमेश्वर के भवन की जो यरूशलेम में है नींव डाली; और तब से अब तक यह बन रहा है, परन्तु अब तक नहीं बन पाया।’

In context

14The gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, those Cyrus the king also took out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor.

15He said to him, ‘Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let God’s house be built in its place.’

16Then the same Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of God’s house which is in Jerusalem. Since that time even until now it has been being built, and yet it is not completed.

17Now therefore, if it seems good to the king, let a search be made in the king’s treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it is so that a decree was made by Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.”
