6 Ezra el fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD, God fulat!” Mwet nukewa kolak paolos nu lucng ac topuk, “Amen! Amen!” Na elos sikukmutuntei ac faksufi in alu.

12 Na mwet nukewa folokla nu yen selos ac arulana engan ke elos mongo ac nim, ac elos kite ma oasr yorolos nu sin mwet saya, mweyen elos kalem ke ma ritiyuk nu selos.

13 Len se tok ah, sifen sou oayapa mwet tol ac mwet Levi elos som nu yorol Ezra in lutlut ke ma aketeyuki in Ma Sap.
