1. Wathi uDavide ukumkani kwibandla lonke, USolomon unyana wam, okuphela konyuliweyo nguThixo, mncinane, uthambile; ke umsebenzi mkhulu, ngokuba ibhotwe eli asilelomntu, lelikaYehova uThixo.
2. Ke, ngamandla am onke indlu kaThixo wam ndiyilungisele igolide yezinto zegolide, isilivere yezesilivere, ubhedu lwezobhedu, isinyithi sezesinyithi, imithi yezemithi, namatye ebherilo,* nafakwayo, namatye okuhombisa, naziimfakamfele, namatye onke anqabileyo, namatye emarmore* emhlophe, into eninzi.
3. Kananjalo ekubeni ilikholo kum indlu kaThixo wam, ndinenqobo yegolide nesilivere, endiyimisele indlu kaThixo wam, engaphandle kwayo yonke endiyilungisele indlu engcwele;
4. amawaka amathathu eetalente zegolide* yasegolideni yakwaOfire, amawaka asixhenxe eetalente zesilivere* ehluziweyo yokwaleka iindonga zezindlu;
5. ukuba ibe yeyezinto ngezinto zegolide, ibe yeyezinto ngezinto zesilivere, ibe yeyemisebenzi yonke yesandla seengcibi. Ngubani na ke oqhutywa yintliziyo ukuzimisela namhla kuYehova?
6. Banikela ke ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo abathetheli bezindlu zooyise, nabathetheli bezizwe zakwaSirayeli, nabathetheli bamawaka nabamakhulu, nabathetheli bomsebenzi wokumkani.
7. Banikela kwinkozo yendlu kaThixo igolide yaziitalente ezingamawaka amahlanu needarike* ezilishumi lamawaka; nesilivere yaziitalente ezingamawaka alishumi, nobhedu lwaziitalente ezingamawaka alishumi elinesibhozo, nesinyithi saziitalente ezingamawaka alikhulu.
