1 Kane Ezra lemo kendo hulo richo, koywak kendo kongʼielore piny e nyim od Nyasaye, oganda maduongʼ mar jo-Israel; chwo, mon kod nyithindo nochokore kolwore. Gin bende ne giywak malit. 2 Eka Shekania wuod Jehiel, achiel kuom nyikwa Elam, nowachone Ezra niya, “Ok wasebedo jo-ratiro ni Nyasachwa kuom kendo nyiri ma ok jo-Yahudi. To kata ka wasetimo kamano, to jo-Israel pod nigi geno. 3 Koro we walos singo e nyim Nyasachwa mondo oriemb mon-gi kod nyithindgi duto, kaluwore gi ngʼado rieko mar Ruoth Nyasachwa kod jogo moluoro chike mag Nyasachwa.

5 Omiyo Ezra noa malo mi oketo jonabi gi jo-Lawi ma jotelo kod jo-Israel duto e bwo kwongʼruok mondo otim gima ne osepar. Omiyo negitimo kwongʼruokno. 6 Eka Ezra noa e nyim od Nyasaye mi odhi e agoch Jehohanan wuod Eliashib. E sa mane en kanyo, ne ok ochamo chiemo kendo ne ok omodho pi, nikech nodhi nyime kokuyo kuom bedo maonge ratiro mar joma noa e twech.

9 Kuom thuolo mar ndalo adek joma chwo moa Juda kod Benjamin duto nochokore Jerusalem. To e odiechiengʼ mar piero ariyo mar dwe mar ochiko, ji nobet e laru manie nyim od Nyasaye, ka gionge gi kwe nikech wachno kendo nikech koth ne goyogi. 10 Eka Ezra ma jadolo noa malo kendo owachonegi niya, “Usebedo joma ok nikare; usekendo mond dhoudi mamoko, mumedo ketho mar jo-Israel. 11 Koro miuru Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwereu duongʼ, kendo utim dwarone.
