1 IziKronike 15

Umphongolo ufika eJerusalema

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

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

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

4UDavide wabiza abantwana bakwa-Aroni namaLevi;

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

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

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

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

9emadodaneni kaHebroni: nguEliyeli inhloko nabafowabo, bengamashumi ayisishiyagalombili;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

22UKhenaniya induna yamaLevi wayephethe ukuhlabelela;

23OBheregiya no-Elkana babengabamasango omphongolo.

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

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

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

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

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

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