6 Ezira uyu wakakwera kufuma ku Babuloni. Wakaŵa mulembi, wakalimanyanga makora chomene* Dango la Mozesi,+ ilo Yehova Chiuta wa Israyeli wakapeleka. Themba likamupa chilichose icho wakapempha, chifukwa woko la Yehova Chiuta wake likaŵa pa iyo.

28 Ndipo wanilongora lusungu* pamaso pa themba,+ ŵakupeleka fundo ŵake,+ na ŵakaronga ŵankhongono wose ŵa themba. Ntheura nkhakhwima mtima,* chifukwa woko la Yehova Chiuta wane likaŵa pa ine, ndipo nkhawunganya ŵanalume ŵakulongozga kufuma mu Israyeli kuti ŵalute nane.

7 Penepapo nkhati kwa themba: “Usange chalikondweska themba, linipe makalata kuti nkhapeleke ku ŵalongozgi ŵa chigaŵa cha Kusirya kwa Mlonga,+ ŵakanizomerezge kujumpha makora m’paka nkhafike ku Yuda. 8 Munipeso kalata nkhapeleke kwa Asafu msungiliri wa Nkhorongo ya Themba, kuti wakanipe mathabwa ghakuzengera vipata Vyakukhozgera+ Nyumba* na ghakuzengera linga la msumba+ na nyumba iyo nkhuluta kukakhalamo.” Ntheura themba likanipa+ makalata, chifukwa woko liwemi la Chiuta wane likaŵa pa ine.+
