Tedy przyszli do Zorobabela i do przedniejszych z domów mówiąc im: Będziem budować z wami, a tak jako i wy będziem szukać Boga waszego, gdyżechmy mu ofiary czynili od onego czasu jako nas tu wwiódł Esarhaddon, król asyryjski.
przybyli do Zorobabela oraz do naczelników rodów i zaproponowali: Pozwólcie, że będziemy budować razem z wami, ponieważ podobnie jak wy czcimy waszego Boga i my także składamy Mu ofiary od czasów Asarchaddona, króla Asyrii, który nas tutaj sprowadził.
wtedy przyszli do Zerubabela i do przedniejszych z ojców, mówiąc im: Będziemy z wami budować i jak wy, szukaćwaszego Boga; ponieważ składamy Mu ofiary od dni EsarChaddona, asyryjskiego króla, który nas tu przyprowadził.
Tedy przyszli do Zorobabela i do przedniejszych z domów ojcowskich, mówiąc im: Będziemy budować z wami, a jako i wy będziemy szukać Boga waszego, gdyżeśmy mu ofiary czynili ode dni Asarhaddona, króla Assyryjskiego, który nas tu przywiódł.
Wówczas przybyli do Zorobabela i naczelników rodów i powiedzieli im: Będziemy budować z wami, gdyż szukamy waszego Boga tak jak wy i składamy mu ofiary od czasów Asarchaddona, króla Asyrii, który nas tu przyprowadził.
Przystąpili do Zerubbabela, do Jeszuy i do naczelników rodów, i rzekli do nich: Będziemy budować razem z wami, gdyż czcimy Boga waszego tak jak wy i składamy mu ofiary od czasów Asarchaddona, króla asyryjskiego, który nas tutaj sprowadził.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then they came to Zerubbabel, and the chief of the fathers,.... These they addressed, as knowing that if they could not prevail with them, they could never succeed in their design; and these were no doubt the principal of the Samaritans that applied:
and said unto them, let us build with you; that is, the temple, they proposed to join with them, and assist them in it; which proposal at first sight might seem very agreeable and welcome, and would have been so had they been sincere, but they were not; they hoped, by getting among them, to have sown discord among them, and disunited them; and so by these or other means to have retarded the building; or if it went forward, that they might have a claim to it as theirs, at least as to set up their own idols in a part of it; the reasons they gave follow:
for we seek your God as ye do; which was false, for they did not worship him alone, but with idols, nor in the same manner as the Jews did:
and we do sacrifice unto him; but even that could not recommend them to the Jews, since they ought not to sacrifice, even to the Lord himself, but at Jerusalem: there is a various reading here; the textual reading is, "we do not sacrifice"; that is, to idols; the marginal reading is, "we sacrifice to him", which we follow; Aben Ezra takes in both, perhaps most rightly; "we do not sacrifice to any other, but to him"; which was also false:
since the days of Esarhaddon, king of Assur, who brought us up hither; to Samaria, from Babylon, and other places; see 2 Kings 17:24.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Compare 2 Kings 17:24-28 notes.
Since the days - Esar-haddon reigned from 681-668 B.C. Thus, the Samaritans speak of what had taken place at least 130 years previously. There appear to have been at least three colonizations of Samaria by the Assyrian kings. The first is mentioned in 2 Kings 17:24. Later in his reign Sargon added to these first settlers an Arabian element. Some 30 or 40 years afterward, Esarhaddon, his grandson, largely augmented the population by colonists drawn especially from the southeast parts of the Empire Ezra 4:10. Thus, the later Samaritans were an exceedingly mixed race.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezra 4:2. Let us build with you — We acknowledge the same God, are solicitous for his glory, and will gladly assist you in this work. But that they came with no friendly intention, the context proves.
