Mana kwaNehemiya wenjili nansañu yatama yafumini kuYuda nindi: ‘Antu afuntili kuYerusalema adi mukukala. Mpwembu jamusumba niyiisu yakisañeniwu kudi aBabiloni hiyayituñululaku.’ Nehemiya watiyili kutama. Wakeñeleña kuya kuYerusalema nakukwashana, dichi walombeli kudi Nzambi kulonda mwanta amwiteji ayi.
Chimwahitili mpinji, mwanta wamweni nindi Nehemiya nadineñi. Wahosheli nindi: ‘Kanda nimoneñahu dehi wunadineñi ñana. Kukalanyi kuwukweti?’ Nehemiya wahosheli nindi: ‘Nukubuliladi kudineña henohu musumba wami waYerusalema anawushiyi kwamahembi?’ Mwanta wamwihwili nindi: ‘Wunakukeña nikwililidi?’ Hohenohu Nehemiya walombeli wumweneni.
