9. Anibagxothanga yini na ababingeleli bakaYehova, oonyana baka-Aron, nabaLevi; nazenzela ababingeleli njengezizwe zamanye amazwe? bada bonke abo baza kuzimisela ngenkunzi elithole lenkomo, neenkunzi zeegusha ezisixhenxe, benziwa ababingeleli kwabangethixo.
10. Ke thina, nguYehova uThixo wethu: asimshiyanga; ababingeleli abalungiselela kuYehova ngoonyana baka-Aron;
11. nabaLevi basemsebenzini wabo, beqhumisela kuYehova ngamadini anyukayo imisó ngemisó, ukuhlwa ngokuhlwa, nangesiqhumiso esimnandi; nokucwangcisa izonka etafileni ehlambululekileyo; nesiphatho segolide, nezibane sazo zilunyekwa ukuhlwa ngokuhlwa; ngokuba thina siyasigcina isigxina sikaYehova uThixo wethu; ke nina nimshiyile.
12. Niyabona, unathi eyintloko uThixo, nababingeleli bakhe banathi, namaxilongo okuduma, ukuba anivuse. Nyana bakaSirayeli, musani ukulwa noYehova uThixo wooyihlo; ngokuba aniyi kuba nampumelelo.
13. Ke uYarobheham wazungulezisa abalaleli, ukuba baye ngasemva kwawo; baba ngaphambi kwamaYuda bona; abalaleli baba ngasemva kwawo.
14. Abheka amaYuda, ayibona impi ingaphambili nangasemva kwawo. Akhala kuYehova, ababingeleli bevuthela amaxilongo; aduma onke amadoda akwa Yuda.
15. Kwathi ekudumeni kwamadoda akwaYuda, wesuka uThixo wabetha kuYarobheham namaSirayeli onke phambi koAbhiya namaYuda.
16. Basaba oonyana bakaSirayeli ebusweni bamaYuda; uThixo wabanikela esandleni sawo.
17. UAbhiya nabantu bakhe bababulala kakhulu; kwawa ababuleweyo kwaSirayeli amakhulu amahlanu amawaka amadoda ahleliweyo.
18. Bathotywa ke oonyana bakaSirayeli ngelo xesha, bakhalipha oonyana bakaYuda; ngokuba bayama ngoYehova uThixo wooyise.
19. UAbhiya wamsukela uYarobheham, wathimba kuye le mizi: iBheteli namagxamesi ayo, neYeshana namagxamesi ayo, ne-Efron namagxamesi ayo.
20. Akaba saba namandla uYarobheham ngemihla ka-Abhiya. UYehova wambetha wafa.
21. Waya esomelela ngokomelela uAbhiya, wazeka abafazi abalishumi elinabané, wazala oonyana abamashumi mabini anababini, neentombi ezilishumi elinantandathu.
