1 IziKronike 23 UDavide wenza uSolomoni iNkosi

¹ UDavide wayesemdala, esanelisiwe yizinsuku, wabeka uSolomoni indodana yakhe inkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli.

² Wabutha zonke izikhulu zakwa-Israyeli kanye nabapristi namaLevi.

³ U-Israyeli kusukela eBeri Sheba kuze kube kwaDani, futhi umumo wabo ngamavoti abo, indoda ngendoda, yayiyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalombili.

⁴ Kubo abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nane baqhubeka nomsebenzi wendlu kaJehova; izinkulungwane eziyisithupha zaziyizikhulu nabahluleli;

⁵ Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwakukhona abalindisango abayizinkulungwane ezine; abayizinkulungwane ezine badumisa uJehova ngezinsimbi engizenzile, kusho uDavide, ukudumisa ngazo.

⁶ UDavide wabahlukanisa ngezigaba phakathi kwamadodana kaLevi, oGereshoni, noKohati, noMerari.

⁷ KumaGereshoni kwakunguLadani noSimeyi.

⁸ Amadodana kaLadani; izinhloko kwakunguJehiyeli, noSethamu, noJoweli, bebathathu.

⁹ Amadodana kaShimeyi; oShelomoti, noHasiyeli, noHarana, bebathathu. Lezi kwakuyizinhloko zemindeni kaLadani.

¹⁰ Amadodana kaShimeyi: ngoJahati, noSina, noJewushi, noBeriya. Laba babe ngamadodana kaSimeyi.

¹¹ UJahati wayeyinhloko, noSisa owesibili, kepha oJehu noBeriya babengenamadodana amaningi; ngalokho babalwa ngokwendlu kayise.

¹² Amadodana kaKohati: u-Amramu, noJisihari, noHebroni, no-Uziyeli, bebane.

¹³ Amadodana ka-Amramu; o-Aroni, noMose, no-Aroni bahlukaniselwa ukungcwelisa izinto ezingcwelengcwele, yena namadodana akhe kuze kube phakade, bashunqise umusi phambi kukaJehova, bamkhonze, babusise egameni lakhe kuze kube phakade.

¹⁴ NgoMose, umuntu kaNkulunkulu, amadodana akhe abizwa esizweni sakwaLevi.

¹⁵ Amadodana kaMose kwakunguGereshomu no-Eliyezeri.

¹⁶ Kumadodana kaGereshomu: nguZebhuweli inhloko.

¹⁷ Amadodana ka-Eliyezeri: nguRehabiya inhloko. U-Eliyezeri wayengenawo amanye amadodana; kodwa amadodana kaRehabiya ayemaningi kakhulu.

¹⁸ Kumadodana kaJisihari: Shelomit induna.

¹⁹ Kumadodana kaHebroni: uJeriya inhloko, no-Amariya owesibili, noJahaziyeli owesithathu, noJekameyamu owesine.

²⁰ Emadodaneni ka-Uziyeli: uMika inhloko, noJesiya owesibili.

²¹ Amadodana kaMerari; UMahli noMusi. Amadodana kaMageli; u-Eleyazare noKis.

²² U-Eleyazare wafa engenamadodana, enamadodakazi odwa; abafowabo, amadodana kaKishi, babathatha.

²³ Amadodana kaMushi; UMagli no-Eder noJeremot, abathathu.

²⁴ Lawa angamadodana kaLevi ngezindlu zawoyise; nezinhloko zezindlu zawoyise, zabalwayo kubo ngokwenani lamagama ngamavoti azo, abenza umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaJehova, kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabili kuya phezulu.

²⁵ Ngoba uDavida wathi: I Nkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, inike abantu bayo ukuphumula, ukuze bahlale eJerusalema kuze kube nininini.

²⁶ NakumaLevi; bangabe besalithwala itabernakele nezinye izitsha zenkonzo yalo.

²⁷ Ngokuba njengamazwi okugcina kaDavide amaLevi abalwa kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabili kuya phezulu;

²⁸ Ngokuba isikhundla sawo sasingukukhonza amadodana ka-Aroni enkonzweni yendlu kaJehova, emagcekeni nasemakameloni, nasekuhlanzweni kwazo zonke izinto ezingcwele, nomsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaNkulunkulu;

²⁹ futhi okwesinkwa sokubukwa, nempuphu ecolekileyo ibe ngumnikelo wempuphu, namaqebelengwane angenamvubelo, nawokubhakwa epanini, nakoko okuthosiweyo, nangaso sonke isilinganiso nesayizi;

³⁰ nokuma njalo ekuseni ukudumisa nokudumisa uJehova, kanjalo nakusihlwa;

³¹ nokunikela ngayo yonke iminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova ngamasabatha, nangokwethwasa kwenyanga, nangemikhosi, ngokwenani, ngokomthetho ababeyaliwe ngawo, phambi kukaJehova njalo.

³² Bagcina inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana, nenkonzo yendlu engcwele, nenkonzo yamadodana ka-Aroni, abafowabo, enkonzweni yendlu kaJehova.
