11 “Ngiyaniyala ngithi: uma kukhona oyoguqula lo mthetho engiwushayile, kuyokhishwa ibhanuko emshayweni wendlu yakhe, ajojwe ngalo, umuzi wakhe ube ngumquba. 12 UNkulunkulu owenza ukuba igama lakhe lihlale lapho, sengathi angasusa esikhundleni noma yiyiphi inkosi nesizwe okuzama ukuguqula lokhu, noma ukubhubhisa le ndlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema. Mina Dariyu, ngishaye lo mthetho; mawuhlonishwe ngokucophelela.”

13 UThathenayi, umbusi wesifunda esingasentshonalanga yeYufrathe, noShethari Bhozenayi nabangani babo, bakwenza ngokucophelela lokho inkosi uDariyu eyayibalayeze khona. 14 Izikhulu zakwaJuda zaqhubeka ngempumelelo ukwakha indlu, zigqugquzelwa ngukuphrofetha kukaHagayi noZekhariya, indodana ka-Ido. Zaqeda njengalokho zaziyalwe nguNkulunkulu wakwa-Israyeli ngomthetho owashaywa nguKhoresi, uDariyu, nenkosi u-Arithahishashitha, basePheresiya. 15 Zaqeda ukukwakha indlu ngosuku lwesithathu lwenyanga u-Adari, ngonyaka wesithupha wokubusa kwenkosi uDariyu.
16 Abantu bakwa-Israyeli, abaphristi, abaLevi nabo bonke abantu ababuye ekuthunjweni, bayehlukanisela uNkulunkulu indlu ngenkulu injabulo. 17 Lapho beyehlukanisa, benza umhlatshelo ngezinkunzi ezilikhulu, izimvu ezingama-200, namawundlu angama-400, nezimbuzi ezili-12 ezaba ngumnikelo wesono, ngayinye imele isizwana ngesizwana sakwa-Israyeli. 18Babuye babeka abaphristi nabaLevi ngokwemikhakha yabo, ukuze baqhube inkonzo kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, njengoba kulotshiwe encwadini kaMose.
