2 Utsho njalo uKoresi inkosi yePerisiya: INkosi, uNkulunkulu wamazulu, inginikile yonke imibuso yomhlaba; layo ingilayile ukuyakhela indlu eJerusalema ekoJuda.
“Persia lengpa Cyrus thupeh chu hiche hi ahi, Pakai van Pathen in leiset chunga leng gam jousehi keima eipe tan ahi. Aman Judah gamsunga Jerusalem ah ama dinga Houin khat tungdoh dingin eingansen ahi.
3 Ngubani ophakathi kwenu kubo bonke abantu bayo? UNkulunkulu wakhe kabe laye, enyukele eJerusalema ekoJuda, akhe indlu yeNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli (unguNkulunkulu) oseJerusalema.

4 Laloba ngubani oseleyo lakuyiphi yezindawo lapho ahlala njengowezizwe khona, kakuthi abantu bendawo yakibo bamsekele ngesiliva, langegolide, langempahla, langezifuyo, kanye lomnikelo wesihle wendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema.
Amite ahingdoh tua hingnalai jouse chu hoikom munna khopem hijongleu, akhopem nao gam'a miten sana le dangka a ahin kitopi diu, thilto le gancha jong apehdiu, Jerusalem khopia Pathen Houin sahdoh teina dinga deichoma athilto diu kalvalla hijat pichu ahinpeh tha diu ahinalaiye,” ati.
5 Kwasekusukuma inhloko zaboyise bakoJuda loBhenjamini, labapristi lamaLevi, laye wonke uNkulunkulu ayevuse umoya wakhe, ukuthi benyukele ukwakha indlu yeNkosi eseJerusalema.
Hijouchun Pathen in thempu hole Leviho lungsung ahin choh thouvin, Judah leh Benjamin phung lamkai ho Jerusalem a acheuva Pakai houin agasapha dingin asol tan ahi.
6 Labo bonke ababebaphahlile baqinisa izandla zabo ngezitsha zesiliva, ngegolide, ngempahla, langezifuyo, langezinto eziligugu, ngaphandle kwakho konke okwakunikelwe ngesihle.
