"Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, 'Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, Yahweh his God be with him, and let him go up.'"
Utsho uKoreshi ukumkani wasePersi ukuthi, Zonke izikumkani zehlabathi uzinike mna uYehova, uThixo wamazulu. Yena undiyalele ukuba ndimakhele indlu eYerusalem ekwaYuda. Ubani ophakathi kwenu ebantwini bakhe bonke, uYehova uThixo wakhe makabe naye, anyuke.
