Context
4Mfalme akaniambia, “Je, haja yako ni gani?”
Ndipo nikaomba kwa Mungu wa mbinguni, 5na nikamjibu mfalme, “Kama ikimpendeza mfalme, na kama mtumishi wako amepata kibali machoni pake, anitume kule mji wa Yuda, mahali baba zangu walipozikwa, ili niweze kuujenga upya.” 6Kisha mfalme, na malkia akiwa ameketi karibu naye, akaniuliza, “Safari yako itachukua muda gani, nawe utarudi lini?” Ilimpendeza mfalme kunituma, kwa hiyo nikapanga muda. 7Pia nikamwambia, “Kama ikimpendeza mfalme, naomba nipewe barua kwa watawala wa Ngʼambo ya Frati, ili wanipe ulinzi mpaka nifike Yuda. 8Naomba nipewe barua nipeleke kwa Asafu, mtunzaji wa msitu wa mfalme, ili anipe miti ya kutengeneza boriti kwa ajili ya malango ya ngome ya Hekalu, na ukuta wa mji, na makao yangu nitakapoishi.” Kwa kuwa mkono wenye neema wa Mungu wangu ulikuwa juu yangu, mfalme akanijalia ombi langu.
