La ngamadodana kaLevi ngendlu yaboyise, inhloko zaboyise, ngokubalwa kwawo, ngenani lamabizo, ngamakhanda awo, esenza umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu yeNkosi, kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili kusiya phezulu.
25 For Dauid seide, The Lord God of Israel hath youe reste to his puple, and a dwellyng in Jerusalem til in to with outen ende;
Ngoba uDavida wathi: INkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ibanikile abantu bayo ukuphumula, bazahlala eJerusalema kuze kube sephakadeni.
26 and it schal not be the office of dekenes for to bere more the tabernacle, and alle vessels therof for to mynystre.
Ngokunjalo-ke kumaLevi; kakulamuntu ozathwala ithabhanekele laloba yiziphi izitsha zalo zenkonzo yalo.
27 Also bi the laste comaundementis of Dauid the noumbre of the sones of Leuy schulen be rikened fro twenti yeer and aboue;
Ngoba ngamazwi kaDavida okucina amadodana kaLevi abhalwa kusukela kwaleminyaka engamatshumi amabili kusiya phezulu.
28 and thei schulen be vndir the hond of the sones of Aaron in to the worschipe of the hows of the Lord, in porchis, and in chaumbris, and in the place of clensyng, and in the seyntuarie, and in alle werkis of the seruyce of the temple of the Lord.
Ngoba indawo yawo yayingasesandleni samadodana kaAroni enkonzweni yendlu yeNkosi, phezu kwamaguma, laphezu kwamakamelo, laphezu kokuhlambulula zonke izinto ezingcwele, lomsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaNkulunkulu,
29 Forsothe preestis schulen be ouer the looues of proposicioun, and to the sacrifice of flour, and to the pastis sodun in watir, and to the therf looues, and friyng panne, and to hoot flour, and to seenge, and ouer al weiyte and mesure.
lowezinkwa zokubukiswa, lowempuphu ecolekileyo yomnikelo wokudla, lowezinkwana eziyizipatalala ezingelamvubelo, lowokubhakwe ngepani, lowokukhanzingiweyo, lowesilinganiso sonke lobukhulu;
30 Forsothe the dekenes schulen be, that thei stonde eerli, for to knowleche and synge to the Lord, and lijk maner at euentide,
lokuma ukusa ngokusa ukubonga lokudumisa iNkosi, kanjalo lantambama,
31 as wel in the offryng of brent sacrifices of the Lord, as in sabatis, and kalendis, and othere solempnytees, bi the noumbre and cerymonyes of eche thing contynueli bifor the Lord;
lokunikela konke kweminikelo yokutshiswa eNkosini ngamasabatha, ngokuthwasa kwenyanga, langemikhosi emisiweyo, ngenani, ngokwesimiso kukho, njalonjalo phambi kweNkosi.
32 and that thei kepe the obseruaunces of the tabernacle of the boond of pees of the Lord, and the custum of the seyntuarie, and the obseruaunce of the sones of Aaron, her britheren, that thei mynystre in the hows of the Lord.
Njalo azagcina umlindo wethente lenhlangano, lomlindo wendlu engcwele, lomlindo wamadodana kaAroni, abafowabo, enkonzweni yendlu yeNkosi.
