1 IziKronike 13 UDavide ufuna ukuwubuyisa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu

¹ UDavide wacebisana nezinduna zezinkulungwane nezamakhulu nezikhulu zonke.

² UDavide wathi kulo lonke ibandla lakwa-Israyeli: “Uma kubonakala kukuhle emehlweni enu nokuthi kuvela kuJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, masithumele kubazalwane bethu ezindaweni zonke eziseleyo ezweni lonke lakwa-Israyeli, nakubapristi kanye nabo. NamaLevi asemizini yawo nasemadlelweni awo, azibuthele kithi.

³ Masiwubuyisele kithi umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wethu, ngokuba asibuzanga kuwo emihleni kaSawule.

⁴ Ibandla lonke lathi makwenziwe njalo, ngokuba le ndaba yayilungile emehlweni abo bonke abantu.

⁵ UDavida wasebuthanisa wonke uIsrayeli kusukela eSihori eGibhithe kuze kufike ekungeneni kweHemati ukuze akhuphe umphongolo kaNkulunkulu eKiriyathi Jeyarimi.

⁶ UDavide wakhuphuka no-Israyeli wonke, waya eBahala eliyiKiriyati Jeharimi lakwaJuda, ukwenyusa khona umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uJehova ohlezi phakathi kwamakherubi ogama lakhe libizwa kuwo.

⁷ Bawuthwala umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ngenqola entsha besuka endlini ka-Abinadaba; u-Uza no-Ahijo bashayela inqola.

⁸ UDavide naye wonke u-Israyeli badlala phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngamandla abo onke, nangokuhuba, nangezihabhu, namahabhu, nezigubhu, namasimbali, nangamacilongo.

⁹ Lapho befika esibuyeni sikaKidoni, u-Uza welula isandla sakhe ukubamba umphongolo; ngoba izinkabi zakhubeka.

¹⁰ Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u-Uza, wamshaya, ngokuba welulela isandla sakhe emphongolweni; wafela khona lapho phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

¹¹ UDavide wadabuka ngokuba uJehova efohla e-Uza; ngalokho leyo ndawo yabizwa ngokuthi iPheresi-uza kuze kube namuhla.

¹² UDavide wamesaba uNkulunkulu ngalolo suku, wathi: “Ngingawuletha kanjani umphongolo kaNkulunkulu endlini yami na?”

¹³ UDavide akawulethanga umphongolo kuye emzini kaDavide, kepha wawuphambukisela endlini ka-Obede Edomi umGiti.

¹⁴ Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wahlala nomndeni ka-Obede Edomi endlini yakhe izinyanga ezintathu. UJehova wayibusisa indlu ka-Obede Edomi nakho konke anakho.
