Ke Ezra el tu in acn sac, fulat liki mwet uh, elos nukewa suilya na. Ke el ikasla book sac, elos nukewa tuyak.
6 U-Ezra wamdumisa uThixo, uNkulunkulu omkhulu, kwathi bonke abantu baphendula baphakamisa izandla zabo bathi, “Ameni! Ameni!” Basebekhothama bekhonza uThixo bethe mbo ngobuso phansi.

9 Kwasekusithi uNehemiya umbusi, lo-Ezra umphristi lombhali, kanye labaLevi ababefundisa abantu bathi kubo bonke, “Lelilanga lingcwele kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Lingalili kumbe likhale.” Kwakungoba bonke babekhala lapho babelalele amazwi oMthetho.
Ke mwet uh lohng ac kalem ke ma oakwuk in Ma Sap elos in oru, arulana purakak insialos ac elos mutawauk in tung. Ouinge Nehemiah su governor, ac Ezra su mwet tol ac mwet sasla ke Ma Sap, ac mwet Levi su aketeya ke Ma Sap, elos fahk nu sin mwet nukewa, “Len se inge mutal nu sin LEUM GOD lowos. Ouinge kowos in tia asor ac tung.
10 UNehemiya wathi, “Hambani liyozitika ngokudla okumnandi lokunathwayo okumnandi, okunye likuthumele labo abangelakho okulungisiweyo. Ilanga lanamhla lingcwele kuThixo wethu. Malingadani, ngoba ukuthokoza kukaThixo kungamandla enu.”

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 Ngosuku lwesibili lwenyanga, abazinhloko zezimuli zonke, kanye labaphristi labaLevi, babuthana ku-Ezra umbhali ukuba bahlolisise amazwi oMthetho.
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.
14 Bakufumana kubhaliwe eMthethweni, owalaywa nguThixo ngoMosi, ukuthi ama-Israyeli babemele bahlale ezihonqweni ngesikhathi somkhosi wenyanga yesikhombisa
Elos konauk tuh Ma Sap, su LEUM GOD El akkalemye sel Moses, sapkakin tuh mwet Israel in muta in iwen aktuktuk ke pacl in Kufwa lun Iwen Aktuktuk.
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.
Ouinge elos sang kas inge in sulkakinyukelik in acn Jerusalem ac siti lulap ac siti srisrik in acn saya, ac fahk, “Kowos som nu fineol uh ac use kutu lesak pine, lesak olive, lesak myrtle, lesak palm ac kutu pac lesak saya ma ungung, in sang orek iwen aktuktuk, fal nu ke ma simla in Ma Sap.”
16 Ngakho abantu baphuma babuya lamagatsha bazakhela izihonqo ephahleni lwezindlu zabo, emagumeni abo, emagumeni endlu kaNkulunkulu lasegcekeni eliseSangweni laManzi lalelo elaliseSangweni lika-Efrayimi.
