Ndiye kuli bwanji mʼzigawo zina zonse za mfumu?+ Panopa ukufuna kupempha chiyani? Ndikupatsa. Pali zinanso zimene ukufuna kupempha? Zimene ukufuna zichitika.”

16 Nawonso Ayuda ena onse amene anali mʼzigawo za mfumu anasonkhana kuti adziteteze.+ Ndipo anapha adani awo+ okwana 75,000 koma sanatenge zinthu zawo.
17 Limeneli linali tsiku la 13 la mwezi wa Adara. Ndiyeno pa tsiku la 14 anapuma nʼkuchita phwando ndipo anasangalala kwambiri.
18 Ayuda amene anali ku Susani* anasonkhana pa tsiku la 13+ ndi la 14+ la mweziwo. Iwo anapuma pa tsiku la 15 ndipo anachita phwando komanso chikondwerero.
