Esra ta hambelele Kalunga
27 Esra okwa ti: “Omuwa, Kalunga kootatekulu, na hambelelelwe! Okwa tula ehalo momupangeli, opo a simaneke ngeyi otempeli yOmuwa muJerusalem. 28 Kesilohenda lyaKalunga onda mono ohokwe komupangeli, aagandjindunge ye nomalenga ge agehe omanankondo. Omuwa, Kalunga kandje, okwa pe ndje omukumo, nonda vulu okugongela aakuluntu oyendji yomaludhi gaIsrael, ya ye pamwe nangame.”
