14nakoonyana bakaBhigwayi; Utai kunye noSabude, namadoda angamashumi asixhenxe.

15Ndababutha emlanjeni ongena eAhava; sahlala khona iintsuku zantathu; Ndabakhangela abantu nababingeleli, ndafika kungekho namnye woonyana bakaLevi.

16Ndathuma ooEliyezere, noAriyeli, noShemaya, noElinatan, noYaribhi, noElinatan, noNatan, noZekariya, noMeshulam, abaziintloko; noYoyaribhi noElinatan, amadoda aziingqondi.

17Ndabathumela ngokomyalelo kuIdo, umphathi wendlu kaSifiya, ndabaxelela into abaya kuyithetha kuIdo, nakubazalwana bakhe, amaBhetelehim, endlwini kaKasifiya, ukuba abakhonzi babo bangabendlu yethu ukuzisa ekhaya kuthi. uThixo.

18Ngesandla esilungileyo sikaThixo wethu esasiphezu kwethu, basizisela indoda enengqiqo evela koonyana bakaMagali unyana kaLevi, unyana kaSirayeli; noSherebhiya noonyana bakhe nabazalwana bakhe, ishumi elinesibhozo;

19uHashabhiya wayekunye noIsaya koonyana bakaMerari, abantakwabo noonyana babo abangamashumi amabini;

20nakubakhonzi betempile, abathe uDavide neenkosana bababeka enkonzweni yabaLevi, abakhonzi betempile abangamakhulu amabini anamashumi amabini; wonke umntu uchazwa ngamagama.

21Ke kaloku, ngakumlambo iAhawa, ndavakalisa umhla wokuzila ukudla, ukuze sizithobe phambi koThixo wethu, sizifunele indlela yobulungisa, thina noonyana bethu, nobutyebi bethu bonke.

22Kuba ndandineentloni ukucela kukumkani iqela lamajoni nabakhweli-mahashe ukuba basincede silwe neentshaba endleleni, ngenxa yokuba sathetha nokumkani sathi: “Isandla soThixo wethu silungile kubo bonke abo bamfunayo ke amandla akhe nomsindo wakhe uphezu kwabo bonke ababuyayo kuye.

23Ngoko sazila ukutya saza sambongoza uThixo wethu ngenxa yoku, waza wasibongoza.

24Ndabanyula ababingeleli abakhulu abalishumi elinababini: ooSherebhiya, noHashabhiya, nabazalwana babo abalishumi;

25Wababela isilivere, negolide, nempahla, engumnikelo wendlu kaThixo wethu, lowo ukumkani nabacebisi bakhe nabalungiseleli bakhe namaSirayeli onke abewazisileyo khona.

26Ndalinganisa nazo amakhulu amathandathu anamanci mahlanu eetalente zesilivere, nekhulu leempahla zesilivere, nekhulu leetalente zegolide;

27namashumi amabini eendebe zegolide ziliwaka leedrarhima; neempahla ezimbini zobhedu olubengezela, zinqweneleka njengegolide.

28Ndathi kubo, Ningcwele kuYehova; izinto nazo zingcwele; nesilivere negolide zingumnikelo wabaqhutywa yintliziyo kuYehova, uThixo wooyihlo.

29Uyigcine, uyigcine, ude uyibeke phambi kwababingeleli abakhulu, nabaLevi, neentloko zezindlu zooyise zoonyana bakaSirayeli, eYerusalem, emagumbini endlu kaYehova.

30Ababingeleli nabaLevi bawathabatha ke umlinganiso wesilivere negolide nempahla, ukuba bawuzise eYerusalem endlwini yoThixo wethu.

31Ngomhla weshumi elinesibini wenyanga yokuqala sawushiya umlambo iAhava, saya eYerusalem; kodwa isandla soThixo wethu saba phezu kwethu, wasihlangula esandleni seentshaba nakwabasilindileyo.

32Safika ke eYerusalem, sahlala khona iintsuku zantathu.

33Ngosuku lwesine balinganisa ubunzima besilivere, negolide, neempahla zendlu yoThixo wethu, ngesandla sikaMeremoti unyana kaUriya, umbingeleli; WayenoElazare unyana kaPinehasi; kunye noYozabhadi unyana kaYeshuwa, noNowa unyana kaBhinuwi, abaLevi;

34Ngenani nangobunzima bayo nganye nganye, yaye bonke ubunzima babhalwa phantsi ngelo xesha.

35Oonyana basemfudusweni basondeza amadini anyukayo kuThixo kaSirayeli: iinkunzi ezintsha zeenkomo zalishumi elinambini, ngenxa yamaSirayeli onke, neenkunzi zezimvu zaba ngamashumi asithoba anantandathu, neemvana zamashumi asixhenxe anesixhenxe, zalishumi elinambini izikhova zesono.

36Bayinikela imiyalelo kakumkani kubalungiseleli bakakumkani nakwirhuluneli engasempuma yoMlambo umEfrate, yaye baxhasa uhlanga nendlu yoThixo oyinyaniso.
