17 Tada jiems tariau: "Jūs matote, kokiame varge esame; Jeruzalė apleista ir jos vartai sudeginti. Atstatykime Jeruzalės sieną, kad nebūtų mums pažeminimo".
18 Ir papasakojau jiems, kaip mano Dievo ranka buvo su manimi; taip pat papasakojau, ką karalius man kalbėjo. Jie sakė: "Pakilkime ir statykime". Taip jie sutvirtino savo rankas geram darbui.
17 Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress 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 Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also 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 this good work.
