1 IziKronike 16

¹ Bawuletha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu, bawubeka phakathi kwetende uDavide alimisele wona, banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa nangeminikelo yokuthula phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

² Kwathi uDavida eseqedile ukunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yokubonga, wabusisa abantu ebizweni leNkosi.

³ Wanika wonke u-Israyeli, owesilisa nowesifazane, kwaba yilowo nalowo iqebelengwane lesinkwa, neqatha lenyama, nendebe yewayini.

⁴ Wamisa abathile kumaLevi ukuba bakhonze phambi komphongolo kaJehova, balobe, badumise, badumise uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

⁵ U-Asafa inhloko, beseceleni kwakhe uZakariya, noJehiyeli, noShemiramoti, noJehiyeli, noMatitja, no-Eliyabe, noBenaya, no-Obede Edomi; noJehiyeli ngamahabhu nezihabhu; u-Asafa wakhalisa amasimbali;

⁶ OBenaya noJahaziyeli, abapristi, benamacilongo njalo phambi komphongolo wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.

⁷ Ngalolo suku uDavide wanikela okokuqala lelihubo lokubonga uJehova esandleni sika-Asafa nabafowabo.

⁸ Dumisani uJehova, nibize igama lakhe, nizazise phakathi kwezizwe izenzo zakhe.

⁹ Hlabelelani kuye, nimhubele, nikhulume ngazo zonke izimangaliso zakhe.

¹⁰ Zibongeni egameni lakhe elingcwele; mayijabule inhliziyo yabafuna uJehova.

¹¹ Funani uJehova namandla akhe, nifune ubuso bakhe njalo.

¹² Cabangani ngezimangaliso zakhe azenzile, izimangaliso zakhe nezahlulelo zomlomo wakhe;

¹³ Nina nzalo ka-Israyeli, inceku yakhe, bantwana bakaJakobe, abakhethiweyo bakhe!

¹⁴ UnguJehova uNkulunkulu wethu; izahlulelo zakhe zisemhlabeni wonke.

¹⁵ Khumbulani njalo isivumelwano sakhe; izwi ayala ngalo ezizukulwaneni eziyinkulungwane;

¹⁶ nangesivumelwano asenza no-Abrahama, nesifungo sakhe ku-Isaka;

¹⁷ Wasiqinisa kuJakobe saba ngumthetho naku-Israyeli njengesivumelwano esiphakade;

¹⁸ wathi: Ngizalinika ilizwe leKhanani, libe yisabelo selifa lenu;

¹⁹ Lapho nisembalwa, niyingcosana, ningabafokazi phakathi kwabo.

²⁰ Bahamba besuka kwesinye isizwe besiya kwesinye, besuka kulo mbuso besiya kwesinye isizwe;

²¹ Akavumelanga muntu ukuba abaphathe kabi; yebo, wakhuza amakhosi ngenxa yawo.

²² Wathi: “Ningathinti abagcotshiweyo bami, ningoni abaprofethi bami.”

²³ Hlabelelani kuJehova, mhlaba wonke! wenza insindiso yakhe yaziwe usuku nosuku.

²⁴ Shumayelani inkazimulo yakhe phakathi kwabezizwe; izimangaliso zakhe phakathi kwezizwe zonke.

²⁵ Ngokuba mkhulu uJehova, umelwe ukudunyiswa kakhulu; futhi uyesabeka ngaphezu kwabo bonke onkulunkulu.

²⁶ Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe, kodwa uJehova wenza izulu.

²⁷ Inkazimulo nodumo kuphambi kobuso bakhe; amandla nenjabulo kusendaweni yakho.

²⁸ Mnikeni uJehova nina zizukulwane zabantu, mnikeni uJehova inkazimulo namandla.

²⁹ Mnikeni uJehova inkazimulo yegama lakhe; wenze umnikelo, uze phambi kwakhe; khonza uJehova ebuhleni bobungcwele.

³⁰ Mesabe ubuso bakhe, mhlaba wonke; izwe liyakusimama, linganyakaziswa.

³¹ Malijabule izulu, umhlaba uthokoze, nabantu phakathi kwezizwe mabathi: UJehova uyinkosi.

³² Maluhlokome ulwandle nokugcwala kwalo; amasimu mawajabule nakho konke okukuwo.

³³ Khona imithi yehlathi izathokoza phambi kukaJehova, ngoba uyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba.

³⁴ Dumisani uJehova; ngoba muhle; ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade.

³⁵ Nithi: ‘Sisindise, Nkulunkulu wensindiso yethu, usiqoqe, usikhulule kwabezizwe, ukuze sidumise igama lakho elingcwele, sidumise ekudumiseni kwakho.

³⁶ Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli kuze kube phakade naphakade. Bonke abantu bathi: “Amen,” futhi bamdumisa uJehova.

³⁷ Wabashiya lapho phambi komphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova u-Asafa nabafowabo ukuba bakhonze phambi komphongolo njalonjalo, njengokufunekayo usuku ngalunye.

³⁸ No-Obede Edomi nabafowabo, bengamashumi ayisithupha nesishiyagalombili; u-Obede Edomi indodana kaJeduthuni noHosa babe ngabalindisango;

³⁹ noSadoki, umpristi, nabafowabo, abapristi, phambi kwetabernakele likaJehova endaweni ephakemeyo eyayiseGibeyoni;

⁴⁰ ukuba banikele njalonjalo iminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova ekuseni nakusihlwa e-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa, benze njengakho konke okulotshiweyo emthethweni kaJehova awuyala u-Israyeli;

⁴¹ kanye nabo oHemani noJeduthuni nabanye abakhethiweyo ababizwa ngamagama ukuba badumise uJehova, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade;

⁴² kanye nabo oHemani noJeduthuni bephethe amacilongo namasimbali abo abawabethayo, nezinto zokubethwa zikaNkulunkulu. Amadodana kaJeduthuni ayengabalindisango.

⁴³ Bonke abantu basebesuka, kwaba yilowo nalowo endlini yakhe; uDavida wasebuyela ukubusisa indlu yakhe.
