2 Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assur, which brought us up hither.
2 wakamkaribia Zerubabeli, na wakuu wa mbari za mababa, wakawaambia, Na tujenge sisi nasi pamoja nanyi; kwa maana tunamtafuta Mungu wenu kama ninyi, nasi twamtolea dhabihu tangu zamani za Esar-hadoni, mfalme wa Ashuru, aliyetupandisha mpaka hapa.
