Ana hute'za Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema ami'nea Kasege avontafepina amanahu ke me'nege'za ke'za erifore hu'naze. Israeli vahe'mota 7ni ikampima musenkasema hu knarera fugagi nompi mani'neta ne'zana kreta neneta musena hugahaze huno hu'nea naneke me'nege'za ke'naze.
15 lokuthi njalo lelilizwi babemele balimemezele liye kuwo wonke amadolobho abo laseJerusalema elithi: “Phumani liye emaqaqeni liyokhwebula amagatsha ama-oliva lama-oliva eganga, lamamithili, lamalala lezihlahla ezilomthunzi, lenze izihonqo,” njengoba kulotshiwe.
Ana hu'negu ne'onse kumatmimpine Jerusalemi kumapinema mani'naza vahetega amanage huta kea atre zamanteho, avontafepina amanage huno krente'ne, agonarega zafa tanopafi mareritma ani'namoke'ma hu'nenia olivi azankuna'ene, afi olivi zafa azankuna'ene tofe ani'nane Maitilesi zafa (myrtle) azankuna'ene mago'a ani'nage'ma hu'nea zafa azankuna'enena erita eta fugagi nona eme kineta kasegemo'ma hu'nea kante anteta ne'zana kreta neneta, musena hugahaze huno krentene.
16 Ngakho abantu baphuma babuya lamagatsha bazakhela izihonqo ephahleni lwezindlu zabo, emagumeni abo, emagumeni endlu kaNkulunkulu lasegcekeni eliseSangweni laManzi lalelo elaliseSangweni lika-Efrayimi.

18 Insuku ngensuku, kusukela kolokuqala kusiya kolokucina, u-Ezra wayebala eNcwadini yoMthetho kaNkulunkulu. Bawuthakazelela lowo mkhosi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, kwathi ngosuku lwesificaminwembili, kwabakhona umhlangano omkhulu, njengokumisiweyo emthethweni.
Ana nehu'za mago mago zupa Anumzamofo nanekea mago'ane Ezra'a hamprige'za antahi'naze. Nentahi'za seveni zagekna zupa mani'ne'za muse hu'naze. Hagi ana'ma hute'za Anumzamo'ma kema hu'nea za hu'za eme atru huvagarete'za vu'za e'za hu'naze.
