Zonsezi anachita malinga ndi chilolezo chimene analandira kuchokera kwa Koresi, mfumu ya Peresiya.
8 Tsono mu chaka chachiwiri atabwera ku Yerusalemu, ku malo akale a Nyumba ya Yehova, mwezi wachiwiri Zerubabeli mwana wa Sealatieli, Yesuwa mwana wa Yozadaki pamodzi ndi abale awo onse, ansembe, Alevi ndi onse amene anabwera ku Yerusalemu kuchokera ku ukapolo, anayamba kugwira ntchito. Iwo anasankha Alevi a zaka zoyambira makumi awiri kuti aziyangʼanira ntchito ya kumanga Nyumba ya Yehova. 9 Yesuwa ndi ana ake aamuna kudzanso abale ake, Kadimieli ndi ana ake (ana a Yuda) onse pamodzi anasenza udindo woyangʼanira antchito ku Nyumba ya Mulungu, kuphatikizanso ana a Henadadi komanso Alevi, ana awo ndi abale awo.
10 Amisiri omanga nyumba atamanga maziko a Nyumba ya Yehova, ansembe anabwera akuyimba malipenga, atavala zovala zaunsembe. Ndipo Alevi, zidzukulu za Asafu, anadza akuyimba matambolini ndi kutenga udindo wawo wotamanda Yehova, potsata malangizo a Davide mfumu ya Aisraeli. 11 Iwo ankayimba motamanda ndi mothokoza Yehova nyimbo iyi:

Ndipo anthu onse ankafuwula kwambiri kumutamanda Yehova, chifukwa maziko a Nyumba ya Yehova anali kumangidwa. 12 Koma ambiri mwa ansembe, Alevi ndiponso atsogoleri amabanja, akuluakulu amene anaona Nyumba ya Yehova yakale, analira mokweza pamene anaona maziko a nyumbayi akumangidwa. Komanso ena ambiri ankafuwula mosangalala. 13 Choncho panalibe amene ankatha kusiyanitsa liwu lofuwula mokondwerera ndi liwu la anthu olira, chifukwa anthuwo ankafuwula kwambiri. Ndipo liwu lofuwulalo limamveka kutali.
