8 Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands.
8 Na ajue mfalme ya kuwa sisi tuliingia nchi ya Yuda, tukafika kunako nyumba ya Mungu mkuu, iliyojengwa kwa mawe makubwa, na miti imetiwa katika kuta zake, na kazi hii inaendelea kwa bidii, na kusitawi katika mikono yao.
