Hagi Sairusi'ma ese agafa huno Pesia mopare kinima mania kafufina, Ra Anumzamo'a kasnampa ne' Jeremaia agipi huvazino kasnampa kema Israeli vaheku hu'nea nanekemo'a avufga'a efore hanigu, Pesia kini ne' Sairusina Ra Anumzamo'a antahintahi'a azeri otigeno, ana makama kegava hu'nea mopafi vahetera huama huno nezamasamino, avompinena krenenteno anage hu'ne,
2 Utsho njalo uKoresi inkosi yePerisiya: INkosi, uNkulunkulu wamazulu, inginikile yonke imibuso yomhlaba; layo ingilayile ukuyakhela indlu eJerusalema ekoJuda.
Pesia kini ne' Sairusi'a amanage huno hie, Ra Anumzana monane mopanema tro huteno kegavama hu'nea Anumzamo maka mopa kva huo huno nami'neno, nagrira huhamprinanteno Juda mopafina Jerusalemi kumate nagri mono nona kinanto huno hunante'ne.
3 Ngubani ophakathi kwenu kubo bonke abantu bayo? UNkulunkulu wakhe kabe laye, enyukele eJerusalema ekoJuda, akhe indlu yeNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli (unguNkulunkulu) oseJerusalema.
Hagi Israeli vahe'ma amu'nontamifima tamagranema mani'nesazana, Anumzazmimo'a Israeli vahe'ene manigahianki zamatrenke'za Juda mopafi Jerusalemi kumate mareri'za, Israeli vahe Anumzama Jerusalema mani'nea Ra Anumzamofona mono noma'a ome eri kasefa hu'za kinteho.
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.
Hagi ina kumapino Israeli vahe'ma mani'nesia kumapi vahe'mota, tamagra'a silvama golima, mago'a knare'nare zantamine nezamita, bulimakaone memene sipisipi afutaminena avre nezamita, Jerusalema Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima zamavesite ofama huntesaza zantaminena zaminke'za eri'ne'za viho.
5 Kwasekusukuma inhloko zaboyise bakoJuda loBhenjamini, labapristi lamaLevi, laye wonke uNkulunkulu ayevuse umoya wakhe, ukuthi benyukele ukwakha indlu yeNkosi eseJerusalema.
Hagi anante Judane Benzamenine Livae nagate'enema ugotama hu'naza vahe'ene pristi naga'ene, izano Ra Anumzamo'ma rimpama azeriotia vahe'mo'zanena Jerusalemi mareri'za Ra Anumzamofo mono no ete ome azeri oti'za kinaku trotra hu'naze.
6 Labo bonke ababebaphahlile baqinisa izandla zabo ngezitsha zesiliva, ngegolide, ngempahla, langezifuyo, langezinto eziligugu, ngaphandle kwakho konke okwakunikelwe ngesihle.
Hagi anante tvaozamire'ma nemaniza vahe'mo'za Israeli vahe'mokizmia, silvareti'ene golireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza zantamine, mago'a ne'zane, bulimakaone, memema, sipisipi afutamine, mago'a marerifa knare'nare zantaminena nezami'za, ana agofetura mago'a musezana Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima kresramnama vanaza zantamina zamizage'za eri'ne'za vu'naze.
7 UKoresi inkosi laye wakhupha izitsha zendlu yeNkosi, uNebhukadinezari ayezikhuphe eJerusalema wazifaka endlini yabonkulunkulu bakhe.
Hagi kota kini ne' Nebukatnesa'ma Israeli vahe'ma hahuzamagatereno Jerusalemi ra mono nompi zantamima erino eno agrama mono'ma hunentea havi anumzantamimofo mono nompi eme ante'nea zantamina kini ne' Sairusi'a erimegi atre'ne.
8 UKoresi inkosi yePerisiya wasezikhupha ngesandla sikaMithiredathi umphathisikhwama owazibalela uSheshibazari isiphathamandla sakoJuda.
Hagi Pesia kini ne' Sairusi'a agri zagore'ma ugagota huno kvama hu'nea ne' Mitredatina hamprio higeno ana zantamina hampriteno, Juda vahete'ma ugota huzmanteno zamavareno esia ne' Sesbazarina ana zantamina ami'ne.
9 Leli-ke linani lazo: Imiganu yegolide engamatshumi amathathu, imiganu yesiliva eyinkulungwane, izingqamu ezingamatshumi amabili lesificamunwemunye,
