1faars kay baadshaah khoras kee hukoomat kay pahelay saal men rabb nay vah kuchh poora honay diya jis kee peshgoee us nay yaramiyaah kee maarifat kee thee. us nay khoras ko zail ka elaan karnay kee tahereek dee. yah elaan zabaanee aur tahereeree taur par pooree baadshaahee men kiya gaya.
2“faars ka baadshaah khoras farmaata hai, rabb aasmaan kay khuda nay duniya kay tamaam mamaalik meray havaalay kar diay hain. us nay mujhay yahoodaah kay shaher yarooshalam men us kay liyay ghar banaanay kee zimmaadaaree dee hai. 3aap men say jitnay us kee qaum kay hain yarooshalam kay liyay ravaana ho jaaen taaki vahaan rabb israaeel kay khuda kay liyay ghar banaaen, us khuda kay liyay jo yarooshalam men sukoonat karta hai. aap ka khuda aap kay saath ho. 4jahaan bhee israaeelee qaum kay bachay huay log rahetay hain, vahaan un kay padosiyon ka farz hai ki vah sonay-chaandee aur maal-maveshee say un kee madad karen. is kay ilaava vah apnee khushee say yarooshalam men allaah kay ghar kay liyay hadiay bhee den.”
5tab kuchh israaeelee ravaana ho kar yarooshalam men rabb kay ghar ko taameer karnay kee tayyaariyaan karnay lagay. un men yahoodaah aur binyameen kay khaandaanee sarparast, imaam aur laavee shaamil thay yaanee jitnay logon ko allaah nay tahereek dee thee. 6un kay tamaam padosiyon nay unhen sona-chaandee aur maal-maveshee day kar un kee madad kee. is kay ilaava unhon nay apnee khushee say bhee rabb kay ghar kay liyay hadiay diay.
7khoras baadshaah nay vah cheezen vaapas kar deen jo nabookadnazzar nay yarooshalam men rabb kay ghar say loot kar apnay devta kay mandir men rakh dee theen. 8unhen nikaal kar faars kay baadshaah nay mitradaat khazaanchee kay havaalay kar diya jis nay sab kuchh gin kar yahoodaah kay buzurg shesbazzar ko day diya. 9jo faherist us nay likhee us men zail kee cheezen theen :
