23 “Koresi mfumu ya Perisiya+ wanena kuti, ‘Yehova Mulungu wakumwamba wandipatsa+ maufumu onse a padziko lapansi. Iye wandituma kuti ndim’mangire nyumba ku Yerusalemu m’dziko la Yuda.+ Aliyense amene ali pakati panu mwa anthu onse amene amamutumikira,+ Yehova Mulungu wake akhale naye.+ Choncho apite.’”+

1 M’chaka choyamba cha Koresi+ mfumu ya Perisiya, Yehova analimbikitsa+ mtima wa Koresi mfumu ya Perisiya kuti mawu a Yehova kudzera mwa Yeremiya+ akwaniritsidwe. Pamenepo Koresiyo anatumiza mawu amene analengezedwa+ mu ufumu wake wonse. Mawuwo analembedwanso m’makalata,+ kuti:

3 “M’chaka choyamba cha Mfumu Koresi,+ mfumuyo inaika lamulo lokhudza nyumba ya Mulungu ku Yerusalemu lakuti: Ayuda amangenso nyumbayo kuti azikapereka nsembe+ kumeneko, ndipo amange maziko olimba. Nyumbayo kutalika kwake kuchokera pansi kufika pamwamba ikhale mikono* 60, ndiponso m’lifupi mwake ikhale mikono 60.+

28 Ndine amene ndikunena za Koresi+ kuti, ‘Iye ndi m’busa wanga ndipo adzakwaniritsa bwinobwino zonse zimene ndikufuna,’+ ngakhale zimene ndanena zokhudza Yerusalemu zakuti, ‘Adzamangidwanso,’ ndi zokhudza kachisi zakuti, ‘Maziko ako adzamangidwa.’”+
