Context
8Inampasa Mfalme ajue kwamba tulikwenda katika eneo la Yuda, kwenye Hekalu la Mungu mkuu. Watu wanalijenga kwa mawe makubwa na kuweka mbao kwenye kuta. Kazi inafanyika kwa bidii na inaendelea kwa haraka chini ya uongozi wao. 9Tuliwauliza viongozi, “Ni nani aliyewapa ruhusa kujenga upya Hekalu hili na kurejeza hali ya jengo kama lilivyokuwa?” 10Pia tuliwauliza majina yao, ili tukuandikie kukujulisha majina ya viongozi wao. 11Hili ndilo jibu walilotupa:
“Sisi ni watumishi wa Mungu wa mbingu na nchi, nasi tunalijenga upya Hekalu ambalo lilijengwa miaka mingi iliyopita, lile ambalo mfalme mkuu wa Israeli alilijenga na kulikamilisha. 12Lakini kwa sababu baba zetu walimkasirisha Mungu wa mbinguni, basi aliwatia mkononi mwa Nebukadneza, Mkaldayo, mfalme wa Babeli, ambaye aliliharibu Hekalu hili na kuwaondoa watu na kuwapeleka uhamishoni huko Babeli.
