4. Wabangenisa ababingeleli nabaLevi, wabahlanganisela ebaleni langasempumalanga, wathi kubo,
5. Ndiphulaphuleni, baLevi; zingcwaliseni kaloku; yingcwaliseni indlu kaYehova, uThixo wooyihlo, nikukhuphe ukungcola okusendaweni engcwele.
6. Ngokuba oobawo benza ubumenemene, benza okubi emehlweni kaYehova uThixo wethu, bamshiya, babusonga ubuso babo emnqubeni kaYehova, bawunikela ikhosi;
7. kananjalo bazivala iingcango zevaranda,* bazicima izibane, àbaqhumisela ngesiqhumiso, àbawanyusa amadini anyukayo engcweleni kuThixo kaSirayeli.
8. Ngoko ke àfikelwa amaYuda neYerusalem buburhalarhume bukaYehova, wawanikela aba yinto yokufeketha, neyokumangalisa, neyomsondlo, njengoko nikubonayo ngamehlo enu.
9. Yabona, bawile oobawo likrele; oonyana bethu neentombi zethu nabafazi bethu basekuthinjweni ngenxa yoko.
10. Ngoku ke kusentliziyweni yam ukumenzela umnqophiso uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli, kubuye kúthi ukuvutha komsindo wakhe.
11. Nyana bam, kungokunje musani ukuhiliza; ngokuba uYehova uninyule, ukuze nime phambi kwakhe, nilungiselele kuye, nibe ngabalungiseleli nabaqhumiseli kuye.
12. Basuka ke abaLevi, ooMahati unyana ka-Amasayi, noYoweli unyana ka-Azariya, koonyana bamaKohati; nakoonyana bakaMerari, uKishe unyana ka-Abhedi, noAzariya unyana kaYehaleleli; nakumaGershon, uYowa unyana kaZima, noEden unyana kaYowa;
13. koonyana bakaElitsafan, uShimri noYehiyeli; nakoonyana baka-Asafu, uZekariya noMataniya;
14. nakoonyana bakaHeman, uYehiyeli noShimehi; koonyana bakaYedutun, uShemaya noUziyeli.
15. Babahlanganisa ke abazalwana babo, bazingcwalisa, bangena ngokomthetho wokumkani ngamazwi kaYehova, ukuyihlambulula indlu kaYehova.
16. Bángena phakathi kwendlu kaThixo ababingeleli, ukuze bayihlambulule; bayikhupha yonke into eyinqambi abayifumanáyo etempileni kaYehova, bayisa entendelezweni yendlu kaYehova. AbaLevi bayithabatha, ukuze bayikhuphele phandle, bayise emlanjaneni oyiKidron.
17. Baqala ukungcwalisa ngomhla wokuqala, ngenyanga yokuqala; ngomhla wesibhozo wenyanga leyo bafika evarandeni kaYehova. Bayingcwalisa ke indlu kaYehova imihla esibhozo, bagqiba ngomhla weshumi elinesithandathu wenyanga yokuqala.
18. Bangena baya kuHezekiya ukumkani, bathi, Siyihlambulùle indlu yonke kaYehova, nesibingelelo sedini elinyukayo, neempahla zaso zonke, netafile yezonka ezicwangciswayo, neempahla zayo zonke.
19. Neempahla zonke awazilahlayo uAhazi, ngexa lokulawula kwakhe ngokwenza ubumenemene, sizilungisile sazingcwalisa; nanzo ziphambi kwesibingelelo sikaYehova.
