¹U-Ezra esekhulekile nokuvuma izono, wakhala, wakhuleka phambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, ibandla elikhulu kakhulu lamadoda, nabesifazane, nabantwana, labuthana kuye kwa-Israyeli; ngoba abantu bakhala kakhulu.

²USheganiya, indodana kaJehiyeli, omunye wamadodana ka-Elamu, waphendula, wathi ku-Ezra: “Siphambukile kuNkulunkulu wethu, sathatha abesifazane babezizwe kubantu bezwe; kodwa likhona ithemba kwa-Israyeli ngale ndaba.

³Manje masenze isivumelwano noNkulunkulu wethu sokususa bonke abesifazane nabazelwe yibo ngokweseluleko senkosi yami nesalabo abathuthumela ngomyalo kaNkulunkulu wethu; futhi makwenziwe ngokomthetho.

⁴Sukumani; ngoba lendaba ingeyenu; futhi sizoba nawe; yiba nesibindi ukwenze.

⁵Khona-ke u-Ezra wasukuma wafungisa abapristi abakhulu namaLevi no-Israyeli wonke ukuthi benze ngokuvumelana naleli zwi. Futhi bafunga.

⁶U-Ezra wayesesuka phambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, wangena ekamelweni likaJohanani indodana ka-Eliyashibi, wafika khona, akadlanga sinkwa, akaphuzanga manzi; ngokuba walilela isiphambeko sabathunjwa.

⁷Bamemeza kwaJuda naseJerusalema kubo bonke abantwana babathunjwa ukuba bababuthele eJerusalema;

⁸Futhi ukuthi noma ubani owayengafiki phakathi kwezinsuku ezintathu ngokweseluleko sezikhulu nabadala, yonke impahla yakhe yayiyothathwa, futhi kwakumelwe ahlukaniswe nenhlangano yabathunjwa.

⁹Bonke abantu bakwaJuda nabakwaBenjamini babuthana eJerusalema ngezinsuku ezintathu. Kwakuyinyanga yesishiyagalolunye, ngosuku lwamashumi amabili lwenyanga; bonke abantu bahlala esigcawini sendlu kaNkulunkulu bethuthumela ngenxa yale ndaba nangenxa yemvula enkulu.

¹⁰Umpristi u-Ezra wasukuma, wathi kubo: “Niphambukile, nithathe abesifazane babezizwe ukuze nandise isiphambeko sika-Israyeli.

¹¹Ngakho vumani manje uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo, nenze njengokufisa kwakhe, nizahlukanise nabantu bezwe nakwabesifazane bezizweni.

¹²Ibandla lonke laphendula, lathi ngezwi elikhulu: “Simelwe ukwenza njengokusho kwakho.

¹³Kodwa abantu baningi, futhi kuyisikhathi semvula enkulu, futhi asinakuma ngaphandle, futhi akuwona umsebenzi wosuku olulodwa noma ezimbili, ngoba baningi bethu abonile kule ndaba.

¹⁴Manje izinduna zethu zebandla lonke mazisukume, futhi bonke abathathe abafazi bezizwe emizini yethu mabeze ngezikhathi ezimisiweyo, kanye namalunga ayo yonke imizi nabahluleli bayo, kuze kufike ulaka lukaNkulunkulu wethu phezu kwalo suka kithi.
