1 Ngonyaka wokuqala kaKumkani uKoreshi+ wasePersi, uYehova wenza ukuba uKumkani uKoreshi wasePersi enze isaziso kubo bonke ubukumkani bakhe, aze asibhale phantsi,+ ukuze kwenzeke ngokwelizwi uYehova awalithetha ngoYeremiya.+ Esi saziso sasisithi:

2 “Uthi uKumkani uKoreshi wasePersi, ‘UYehova uThixo wamazulu uzinike mna zonke izizwe* zomhlaba,+ yaye undithumile ukuba ndimakhele indlu eYerusalem+ ekwaYuda.

UYehova ugqibile ukuyohlwayela izono zayo zonke.”+

2 kanye ngaloo nyaka, mna Daniyeli, ndafunda iincwadi* ndaza ndaqonda inani leminyaka yokutshatyalaliswa kweYerusalem,+ uYehova awalixelela umprofeti uYeremiya, oko kukuthi iminyaka eyi-70.+
