17 Então, lhes disse: Estais vendo a miséria em que estamos, Jerusalém assolada, e as suas portas, queimadas; vinde, pois, reedifiquemos os muros de Jerusalém e deixemos de ser opróbrio. 18 E lhes declarei como a boa mão do meu Deus estivera comigo e também as palavras que o rei me falara. Então, disseram: Disponhamo-nos e edifiquemos. E fortaleceram as mãos para a boa obra.

17 Then said I unto them, Ye see the evil case that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach. 18 And I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me, as also of the king’s words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for the good work.

17 Then I said to them, "You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace."

18 I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me and what the king had said to me. They replied, "Let us start rebuilding." So they began this good work.
