21 “Miyo, mwene Artaxerxe, kinnaaruma atthu ootheene a mpantta onikela nsuwa wa muro Eufrate yaawo anikhapelela mihakhu, wiira anvahererye Eezira, namukuttho ni mulipa-oolepa Nlamulo na Muluku a wiirimu, itthu sootheene onivekela awe,
22 mpakha ophiyerya italento* 100 sa eparatha ikooro* 100 sa etiriku, ipaathi* 100 sa eviinyu, ipaathi 100 sa makhura ni maakha oowaatta.
23 Itthu sootheene Muluku a wiirimu oniruma awe sinivarihana ni empa awe sihaana ovariwa ni nthiti, wiira ohinanariwe ni atthu ahu, miyo ni anaaka.
24 Nave-tho khamuneemiheriwa waaliviha mpoosito* anamukuttho, alevi, alipa-oowiipa, makwarta a vamukhora, ni ale anivara muteko mutemplo aahiiso anamuteko a empa ya Muluku.
25 “Vano nyuwo Eezira, muttharaka osuwela nvahiwe anyu ni Muluku anyu, mwaathanle makhulupale ni alipa-oophuka wiira yaaphukeleke atthu ootheene anikhala mpantta onikela nsuwa wa muro Eufrate, eyo piiyo, ootheene ale anisuwela malamulo a Muluku anyu. Nave-tho muhaana owiixuttiha ootheene ahinisuwela malamulo awo.
26 Nto atthu ootheene ahinrowa wiiwelela Nlamulo na Muluku anyu ni nlamulo na mwene, awo ahaana ophukeliwa ni olamuliwa wiiviwa, oroihiwa weepotthani, olivihiwa multa aahiiso otthukweliwa mukhatteya”.
27 Ottottopeliwe Yehova, Muluku a amuhavinre ahu, yoowo ohenle vamurimani va mwene ophavela oreeriha empa ya Yehova oYerusalemu!
28 Owo ookooniherya ophenta woororomeleya ohoolo wa mwene, atthu awe aninvaha miruku ni makhulupale ootheene oowerya a mwene. Tivo kaahilipa murima* okhala wiira Yehova Muluku aanikikhaliherya, nto kaahaathukumanya ahooleli a Isarayeli wiira arowe ni miyo.
