²⁷ Ekwehlukaniselweni kogange lwaseJerusalema afuna amaLevi ezindaweni zawo zonke ukuba awalethe eJerusalema, ukugubha ukuhlanjululwa ngenjabulo, nangokubonga nangokuhlabelela, namasimbali, namahabhu, nangezinsimbi.

²⁸ Amadodana abahlabeleli abuthana ethafeni elizungeza iJerusalema nasemizini yaseNethofati;

²⁹ nasendlini yaseGiligali nasensimini yaseGeba nase-Asmaweti; ngoba abahlabeleli bazakhela imizi nxazonke zeJerusalema.

³⁰ Abapristi namaLevi bazihlambulula, nabantu, namasango, nogange.

³¹ Ngase ngikhuphulela umduli izikhulu zakwaJuda, ngamisa izixuku ezimbili ezinkulu zezingoma, esinye sazo esangena kwesokudla sogange kuze kube seSangweni Lomquba.

³² Ngemva kwabo kwaphuma uHoshaya nengxenye yezikhulu zakwaJuda.

³³ No-Azariya, no-Ezra, noMeshulamu,

³⁴ oJuda noBenjamini noShemaya noJeremiya,

³⁵ Abanye emadodaneni abapristi bephethe amacilongo; uZakariya indodana kaJonathani indodana kaShemaya indodana kaMathaniya indodana kaMikaya indodana kaSaguri indodana ka-Asafa;

³⁶ Abafowabo, oShemaya, no-Asareli, noMilalayi, noGilalayi, noMahayi, noNethaneli, noJuda, noHanani, benezinsimbi zokubethwa zikaDavide umuntu kaNkulunkulu, no-Ezra, umbhali, phambi kwabo.

³⁷ ESangweni Lomthombo elibhekene nabo, bakhuphuka ngezitebhisi zoMzi kaDavide emqashweni wogange phezu kwendlu kaDavide, besiya eSangweni Lamanzi ngasempumalanga.

³⁸ Esinye isixuku sezihlabelelo sahamba malungana nabo, mina ngemva kwabo nengxenye yabantu esodongeni, kusukela ngale kombhoshongo weziko kuze kufike odongeni olubanzi;

³⁹ naphezu kweSango lakwa-Efrayimi, naphezu kweSango Elidala, naphezu kweSango Lezinhlanzi, naphezu kombhoshongo kaHananeli, naseMbhoshongweni waseMehagi, kuze kube seSangweni Lezimvu; bema esangweni letilongo.

⁴⁰ Ngakho izixuku ezimbili zezihlabelelo zema endlini kaNkulunkulu, mina nengxenye yababusi kanye nami.

⁴¹ Abapristi; o-Eliyakimi, noMahaseya, noMiniyamini, noMigaya, no-Eliyohenayi, noZakariya, noHananiya, benamacilongo;

⁴² noMahaseya, noShemiya, no-Eleyazare, no-Uzi, noJohanani, noMalikhiya, no-Elamu, no-Ezeri. Futhi abahlabeleli bahlabelela phezulu, kanye noJísraja, umnakekeli wabo.

⁴³ Basebesenza imihlatshelo emikhulu ngalolosuku, bathokoza, ngoba uNkulunkulu wabenza ngentokozo enkulu; abesifazane nabantwana bathokoza, kwaze kwazwakala ukuthokoza kweJerusalema kude.

⁴⁴ Ngaleso sikhathi kwamiswa abathile ukuba babe ngabaphathi bamakamelo engcebo, neminikelo, nolibo nokweshumi, ukuze kuqoqwe emasimini emizi izabelo zomthetho zabapristi namaLevi ezikuyo; UJuda wajabula ngabapristi namaLevi ababelindile.

⁴⁵ Abahlabeleli nabalindisango bagcina umlindo kaNkulunkulu wabo nomlindo wokuhlanjululwa ngokomyalo kaDavide noSolomoni indodana yakhe.

⁴⁶ Ngokuba ezinsukwini zikaDavide no-Asafa zasendulo kwakukhona abaholi babahlabeleli, nezingoma zokudumisa nokubonga, kube inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu.

⁴⁷ Wonke u-Israyeli emihleni kaZerubabele nangezinsuku zikaNehemiya wayenika izabelo zabahlabeleli nabalindisango, usuku ngalunye isabelo salo; bazingcwelisela amaLevi izipho ezingcwele; amaLevi angcwelisela amadodana ka-Aroni.
