1 IziKronike 15 Umphongolo ufika eJerusalema

¹ UDavide wazakhela izindlu emzini kaDavide, walungisela umphongolo kaNkulunkulu indawo, wawumisela itende.

² UDavida wasesithi: Kakulamuntu ongathwala umphongolo kaNkulunkulu, ngaphandle kwamaLevi, ngoba bakhethile uJehova ukuthi athwale umphongolo kaNkulunkulu, bamkhonze kuze kube nininini.

³ UDavide wabutha wonke u-Israyeli eJerusalema ukuba alethe umphongolo kaJehova endaweni yawo ayewulungisele wona.

⁴ UDavide wabiza abantwana bakwa-Aroni namaLevi;

⁵ emadodaneni kaKohati: u-Uriyeli inhloko nabafowabo, beyikhulu namashumi amabili;

⁶ emadodaneni kaMerari; uAsaya inhloko, nabafowabo, bengamakhulu amabili namashumi amabili;

⁷ emadodaneni kaGereshomu: uJoweli inhloko nabafowabo, beyikhulu namashumi amathathu;

⁸ Kumadodana ka-Elishafani; uShemaya inhloko nabafowabo, bengamakhulu amabili;

¹⁰ emadodaneni ka-Uziyeli: ngu-Aminadaba inhloko nabafowabo, beyikhulu neshumi nambili.

¹¹ UDavide wabiza oSadoki no-Abiyathara, abapristi, namaLevi, ku-Uriyeli, no-Asaya, noJoweli, noShemaya, no-Eliyeli, no-Aminadaba;

¹² Wathi kubo: “Nina niyizinhloko zemindeni yamaLevi; zingcweliseni nina nabafowenu, ukuze nilethe umphongolo kaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli endaweni engiwulungisele yona.

¹³ Ngoba ngenxa yokuthi anikwenzanga lokhu ekuqaleni, uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wafohla phezu kwethu, ngokuba asimfunanga ngokomthetho.

¹⁴ Abapristi namaLevi bazingcwelisa ukuba bakhuphule umphongolo kaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

¹⁵ Abantwana bamaLevi bathwala umphongolo kaNkulunkulu emahlombe abo nezinti kuwo, njengalokho eyalile uMose njengezwi likaJehova.

¹⁶ UDavide wakhuluma ezinduneni zamaLevi ukuba zibeke abafowabo ukuba babe abahlabeleli, benezinsimbi zomculo, amahabhu, nezinsimbi, namasimbali, baphakamise izwi ngokujabula.

¹⁷ AmaLevi amisa uHemani indodana kaJoweli; kubafowabo: ngo-Asafa indodana kaBerekiya; emadodaneni kaMerari, abafowabo: ngo-Ethani indodana kaKusaya;

¹⁸ kanye nabo abafowabo besigaba sesibili, uZakariya, noBeni, noJahesiyeli, noSemiramoti, noJehiyeli, no-Uni, no-Eliyabe, noBenaya, noMahaseya, noMatitja, no-Elifele, noMikineya, no-Obede Edomi, noJehiyeli, abalindisango.

¹⁹ Abahlabeleli, oHemani, no-Asafa, no-Ethani, babemiselwe ukuba bashaye amasimbali ethusi;

²⁰ noZakariya, no-Asiyeli, noSemiramoti, noJehiyeli, no-Uni, no-Eliyabe, noMahaseya, noBenaya, benezingubhu ze-Alamoti;

²¹ noMatithiya, no-Elifele, noMikineya, no-Obede Edomi, noJehiyeli, no-Asasiya, benezinsimbi kumaSemini ukuba bavelele.

²² UKhenaniya induna yamaLevi wayephethe ukuhlabelela;

²³ OBheregiya no-Elkana babengabamasango omphongolo.

²⁴ OSebaniya, noJehoshafati, noNethaneli, no-Amasayi, noZakariya, noBenaya, no-Eliyezeri, abapristi, babetha amacilongo phambi komphongolo kaNkulunkulu; o-Obede Edomi noJehiya babengabamasango omphongolo.

²⁵ UDavide namalunga akwa-Israyeli nezikhulu badlula inkulungwane ukuwukhipha umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova endlini ka-Obede Edomi ngokuthokoza.

²⁶ Lapho uNkulunkulu esiza amaLevi ayethwele umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova, anikela ngezinkunzi eziyisikhombisa nezinqama eziyisikhombisa.

²⁷ UDavide wayembethe ingubo yelineni elicolekileyo, nawo onke amaLevi ayethwala umphongolo, nabahlabeleli, noKenaniya induna yokuhlabelela kanye nabahlabeleli; UDavide wayembethe ingubo yasehlombe yelineni.

²⁸ Ngakho wonke u-Israyeli wawukhuphula umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova ngokujabula nangokukhala kwecilongo namacilongo namasimbali, ehlokoma ngamahabhu nangezinsimbi.

²⁹ Kwathi umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova ungena emzini kaDavide, uMikhali indodakazi kaSawule walunguza efasiteleni, wabona inkosi uDavide isina, idlala, wayidelela enhliziyweni yakhe.
