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 and I say unto them, Ye are seeing the evil that we are in, in that Jerusalem [is] waste, and its gates have been burnt with fire; come and we build the wall of Jerusalem, and we are not any more a reproach.

18 And I declare to them the hand of my God that is good upon me, and also the words of the king that he said to me, and they say, Let us rise, and we have built; and they strengthen their hands for good.
