17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
17 Lakini bila shaka tutalitimiza kila neno lililotoka katika vinywa vyetu, kumfukizia uvumba malkia wa mbinguni, na kummiminia sadaka za kinywaji, kama tulivyotenda sisi, na baba zetu, na wafalme wetu, na wakuu wetu, katika miji ya Yuda, na katika njia kuu za Yerusalemu; maana wakati huo tulikuwa na chakula tele, na kufanikiwa, wala hatukuona mabaya.
