¹Emva kwalezi zinto, ekubuseni kuka-Aritahishashita, inkosi yasePheresiya, u-Ezra, indodana kaSeraya, indodana ka-Azariya, indodana kaHilikiya,

²indodana kaShalumi, indodana kaSadoki, indodana ka-Ahithubi,

³indodana ka-Amariya, indodana ka-Azariya, indodana kaMerayoti,

⁴indodana kaSeragiya, indodana ka-Uzi, indodana kaBuki,

⁵indodana ka-Abishuwa, indodana kaFinehasi, indodana ka-Eleyazare, indodana ka-Aroni, umpristi omkhulu;

⁶U-Ezra lo wenyuka evela eBhabhiloni; futhi wayengumbhali ohlakaniphile emthethweni kaMose uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ayewunike wona;

⁷Abanye babantwana bakwa-Israyeli nabanye babapristi namaLevi nabahlabeleli nabalindisango namaNethini bakhuphukela eJerusalema ngonyaka wesikhombisa wenkosi u-Aritahishashita.

⁸Wafika eJerusalema ngenyanga yesihlanu, ngonyaka wesikhombisa wenkosi.

⁹Ngoba ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala waqala ukukhuphuka eBhabhiloni, futhi ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yesihlanu wafika eJerusalema, ngokwesandla esihle sikaNkulunkulu wakhe esasiphezu kwakhe.

¹⁰U-Ezra walungisa inhliziyo yakhe ukufuna umthetho kaJehova nokuwenza nokufundisa izimiso nezahlulelo kwa-Israyeli.

¹¹Nansi ikhophi yencwadi inkosi u-Aritahishashita eyayinika u-Ezra, umpristi, umbhali, umbhali wamazwi emiyalo kaJehova nezimiso zakhe ku-Israyeli.

¹²U-Aritahishashita, inkosi yamakhosi, ku-Ezra umpristi, isazi somthetho kaNkulunkulu wezulu, ukuthula okupheleleyo nangaleso sikhathi.

¹³Ngikhipha umyalo wokuthi bonke abantu bakwa-Israyeli nabapristi babo namaLevi embusweni wami, abayothanda ukukhuphukela eJerusalema ngokuzithandela kwabo, kumelwe bahambe nawe.

¹⁴Ngokuba uthunywe yinkosi nabeluleki bayo abayisikhombisa ukuba uhlole uJuda neJerusalema ngokomthetho kaNkulunkulu wakho osesandleni sakho;

¹⁵nokuthwala isiliva negolide inkosi nabeluleki bayo abanikela ngayo ngokuzithandela kuNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ondlu yakhe iseJerusalema;

¹⁶nalo lonke isiliva negolide ongalifumana kuso sonke isifunda saseBabele, kanye nomnikelo wesihle wabantu nowabapristi abavuma ukuhlabela indlu kaNkulunkulu wabo eseJerusalema;

¹⁷ukuze usheshe uthenge ngale mali izinkunzi, nezinqama, namawundlu, neminikelo yako yokudla, neminikelo yako yokuphuzwa, unikele ngakho e-altare lendlu kaNkulunkulu wenu eseJerusalema.

¹⁸Noma yini okuhle ngawe nabafowenu ukuba niyenze ngalo lonke elinye isiliva negolide, niyenze ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu wenu.

¹⁹Futhi izitsha onikelwe zona zenkonzo yendlu kaNkulunkulu wakho, lezi uzigcine phambi kukaNkulunkulu waseJerusalema.

²⁰Konke okunye okudingwa endlini kaNkulunkulu wakho oyakuba nethuba lokukunika kona, kukhiphe endlini yengcebo yenkosi.

²¹Futhi nami, nkosi u-Aritahishashita, ngiyaleza bonke abaphathi-zimali abangaphesheya komfula ukuthi konke u-Ezra umpristi, isazi somthetho kaNkulunkulu wezulu, ayakukubuza kini, makwenziwe masinyane;

²²kuze kube ngamathalenta esiliva ayikhulu, amakhora kakolweni ayikhulu, nezindebe zewayini ezifika eziyikhulu, nezimbiza zamafutha nosawoti eziyikhulu ngaphandle kokusho ukuthi yimalini.

²³Konke okuyalezwa nguNkulunkulu wezulu makwenzelwe ngenhliziyo yonke indlu kaNkulunkulu wezulu; ngoba kungani kufanele kube nolaka embusweni wenkosi namadodana ayo?

²⁴Futhi siyanitshela ukuthi ngeke kube ngokomthetho ukubakhokhisa intela, intela noma intela, uma bethinta noma yimuphi wabapristi namaLevi, nabahlabeleli, nabalindisango, namaNethini, nezinceku zale ndlu kaNkulunkulu.

²⁵Wena-ke, Ezra, ngokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu wakho okusesandleni sakho, misa abahluleli nabahluleli abangahlulela bonke abantu abangaphesheya komfula, bonke abayaziyo imithetho kaNkulunkulu wakho; futhi bafundise abangaziyo.

²⁶Noma ngubani ongawenzi umthetho kaNkulunkulu wakho nomthetho wenkosi, makugwetshwe masinyane kuye, noma elokufa, noma elokuxoshwa, noma elokudliwa kwempahla, noma elokuboshwa.

²⁷Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wawobaba owafaka into enjalo enhliziyweni yenkosi ukuhlobisa indlu kaJehova eseJerusalema.

²⁸Wangenzela umusa phambi kwenkosi nabeluleki bayo naphambi kwazo zonke izikhulu zenkosi ezinamandla. Ngaba namandla njengoba isandla sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wami sasiphezu kwami, futhi ngabutha izikhulu kwa-Israyeli ukuba zikhuphuke nami.
