EyokuQala yeziKronike Chapter15
1 UDavide wazenzela izindlu emzini kaDavide; wayilungiselela indawo ityeya kaThixo, wayimisela intente.
2 Waza uDavide wathi, Mayingathwalwa ityeya kaThixo ngabangebaLevi; ngokuba unyule bona uYehova ukuba bayithwale ityeya kaThixo, bamlungiselele ngonaphakade.
3 UDavide wawabizela ndawonye onke amaSirayeli eYerusalem, ukuze ityeya kaYehova inyuswe, isiwe endaweni yayo abeyilungisele yona.
4 Wabahlanganisa uDavide oonyana baka-Aron nabaLevi.
5 Koonyana bakaKehati yangu-Uriyeli umthetheli, nabazalwana bakhe, belikhulu elinamanci mabini.
6 Koonyana bakaMerari yanguAsaya umthetheli, nabazalwana bakhe, bengamakhulu amabini anamanci mabini.
7 Koonyana bakaGershom yanguYoweli umthetheli, nabazalwana bakhe, belikhulu elinamanci mathathu.
8 Koonyana bakaElitsafan yanguShemaya umthetheli, nabazalwana bakhe, bengamakhulu amabini.
9 Koonyana bakaHebron yanguEliyeli umthetheli, nabazalwana bakhe, bengamashumi asibhozo.
10 Koonyana bakaUziyeli yanguAminadabhi umthetheli, nabazalwana bakhe, belikhulu elinashumi-nye linababini.
11 UDavide wabiza ooTsadoki noAbhiyatare ababingeleli, nabaLevi ooUriyeli, noAsaya, noYoweli, noShemaya, noEliyeli, noAminadabhi.
12 Wathi kubo, Niziintloko zezindlu zooyihlo kubaLevi; zingcwaliseni nina nabazalwana benu, ninyuse ityeya kaYehova uThixo kaSirayeli, ize apho ndiyilungiselele khona;
13 ngokuba, yabingenini nje enayinyusayo kwasekuqaleni, wasityhobozela uYehova uThixo wethu, ngokuba singamfunanga ngokwesiko.
14 Bazingcwalisa ke ababingeleli nabaLevi, ukuba bayinyuse ityeya kaYehova uThixo kaSirayeli.
15 Bayithwala oonyana bakaLevi ityeya kaThixo, njengoko abemwisele umthetho uMoses ngokwelizwi likaYehova, emagxeni abo, ngezibonda ezikuwo.
16 Wathi uDavide kubathetheli babaLevi, mabamise abazalwana babo babe ziimvumi, beneempahla zokuvuma:imirhubhe, neehadi, namacangci akhenkcezayo, kuphakanyiswe ngesandi sovuyo.
17 AbaLevi bamisa ke uHeman unyana kaYoweli, nakubazalwana bakhe uSafu unyana kaBherekiya, nakoonyana bakaMerari, abazalwana babo, uEtan unyana kaKushaya,
18 benabazalwana babo bolwesibini udidi:yanguZekariya, noBhen, noYahaziyeli, noShemiramoti, noYehiyeli, noUni, noEliyabhi, noBhenaya, noMahazeya, noMatitiya, noElifelehu, noMikeneya, oo-Obhedi-edom, noYehiyeli, abamasango.
19 Iimvumi, ooHeman, noAsafu, noEtan, baba ngabokuvakalisa ngamacangci obhedu;
20 ooZekariya, noHaziyeli, noShemiramoti, noYehiyeli, noUni, noEliyabhi, noMagaseya, noBhenaya, ngemirhubhe, ngeleentombi ilizwi;
21 ooMatitiya, noElifelehu, noMikeneha, no-Obhedi-edom, noYehiyeli, noAzaziya ngeehadi, ngelamadoda ilizwi, ukuba bahlabele.
22 UKenaniya, umthetheli wabaLevi ekuthwaleni, wafundisa ukuthwala; ngokuba ebenengqondo yoko.
23 OoBherekiya noElikana babengabamasango etyeya.
24 OoShebhaniya, noYehoshafati, noNataniyeli, noAmasayi, noZekariya, noBhenaya, noEliyezere, ababingeleli, babengabokuvuthela ngamaxilongo phambi kwetyeya kaThixo, Oo-Obhedi-edom noYehiya babengabamasango etyeya.
25 Kwathi ke ooDavide, namadoda amakulu akwaSirayeli, nabathetheli bamawaka, baya kuyinyusa ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova endlwini kaObhedi-edom, bevuya.
26 Kwathi, ekubancedeni kukaThixo abaLevi, bayithwala ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova, babingelela iinkunzi ezintsha zeenkomo zasixhenxe, neenkunzi zeegusha zasixhenxe.
27 Wayambethe ingubo yokwaleka yelinen ecikizekileyo uDavide, nabaLevi bonke ababethwele ityeya, neemvumi, noKenaniya umphathi wabathwali; ke uDavide wayebhinqe iefodi yelinen emhlophe.
28 AmaSirayeli onke abeyinyusa ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova eduma, enesandi sezigodlo, nesamaxilongo, nesamacangci, evakalisa ngemirhubhe nangeehadi.
29 Kwathi ke ekufikeni kwetyeya yomnqophiso kaYehova emzini kaDavide, walunguza ngefestile uMikali, intombi kaSawule, wabona ukumkani uDavide esina, eqamba, wamcekisa entliziyweni yakhe.
