Ezra the scribe stood on a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Uriah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
Wema ke uEzra umbhali esikhwelweni somthi, ababesenzele loo nto. Kwema ngakuye uMatitiya, noShema, noAnaya, noUriya, noHilekiya, noMahaseya, ngasekunene kwakhe; ngasekholo yanguPedaya, noMishayeli, noMalekiya, noHashum, noHashebhadana, noZekariya, noMeshulam.
