6 No hewɔ lɛ, wɔtee nɔ wɔtswa gbogbo lɛ, ni wɔtsara gbogbo muu lɛ fɛɛ, ni wɔtswa kɛyashi ekwɔlɛ lɛ mlijaa fã, ni maŋbii lɛ tee nɔ amɛtsu nitsumɔ lɛ kɛ amɛtsui fɛɛ.
7 No hewɔ lɛ, be ni Sanbalat, kɛ Tobia,+ kɛ Arabiabii+ lɛ, kɛ Amonbii lɛ, kɛ Ashdodbii+ lɛ nu akɛ aasaa Yerusalem gbogboi lɛ, ni nitsumɔ lɛ miiya nɔ jogbaŋŋ, ni aatsimɔ fɔji ni kamɔ amɛmli lɛ hu lɛ, amɛmli fu waa.
