Ngababuthanisa eMgelweni wamanzi agelezela ku-Ahava, samisa khona okwensuku ezintathu. Ngathi sengihlola phakathi kwabantu labaphristi, kangitholanga loyedwa wamaLevi khona.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩtũmanĩra Eliezeri, na Arieli, na Shemaia, na Elinathani, na Jaribu, na Elinathani, na Nathani, na Zekaria, na Meshulamu arĩa maarĩ atongoria, na Joiaribu na Elinathani, andũ arĩa maarĩ arutani,
Yikho ngasengibiza u-Eliyezari, lo-Ariyeli, loShemaya, lo-Elinathani, loJaribi, loNathani, loZakhariya loMeshulami ababengabakhokheli, loJoyaribi lo-Elinathani ababengabantu abafundileyo,
17 ngĩmatũma kũrĩ Ido mũtongoria wa Kasifia. Ngĩmeera ũrĩa megũthiĩ kwĩra Ido na andũ a nyũmba yake, acio ndungata cia hekarũ kũu Kasifia, nĩguo matũrehere aruti a wĩra wa nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.

21 Tũrĩ o hau rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Ahava, ngĩanĩrĩra twĩhinge kũrĩa irio, nĩguo tũhote kwĩnyiihia mbere ya Ngai witũ tũmũhooe atũgitĩre rũgendo-inĩ, ithuĩ na ciana ciitũ, hamwe na indo ciitũ ciothe.
Khonapho, ekhunjini loMgelo we-Ahava, ngamemezela ukuzila ukudla, ukuze sizehlise phambi kukaNkulunkulu wethu simcele asiphe uhambo oluhle, thina labantwabethu, lempahla zethu zonke.
22 Nĩndaiguire thoni kũũria mũthamaki atũhe thigari cia magũrũ o na iria ithiiaga ihaicĩte mbarathi cia gũtũgitĩra harĩ thũ njĩra-inĩ, tondũ nĩtwerĩte mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Guoko kwa ũtugi kwa Ngai witũ kũrĩ igũrũ rĩa mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũmwĩhokaga, no marakara make manene marĩ igũrũ rĩa arĩa othe mamũtiganagĩria.”
Ngaba lenhloni ukucela enkosini amabutho labagadi bamabhiza ukuthi basivikele ezitheni endleleni ngoba inkosi sasiyitshele sathi, “Isandla somusa sikaNkulunkulu wethu siphezu kwakhe lowo okhangele kuye, kodwa ulaka lwakhe olukhulu luyavutha kulabo abamfulathelayo.”
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũkĩĩhinga kũrĩa irio na tũgĩthaitha Ngai witũ nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio, nake agĩcookia ihooya riitũ.
Ngakho sazila ukudla, samncenga uNkulunkulu wethu ngakho lokhu, wawuphendula umkhuleko wethu.
24 Ningĩ ngĩamũra athĩnjĩri-Ngai ikũmi na eerĩ arĩa maarĩ atongoria, hamwe na Sherebia, na Hashabia, na ariũ a ithe wao ikũmi,
Ngasengisehlukanisa kwabanye abaphristi abalitshumi lambili abangabakhokheli, ndawonye loSherebhiya, loHashabhiya labalitshumi labafowabo,
25 na ngĩmathimĩra maruta ma betha na thahabu, na indo iria ciaheanĩtwo nĩ mũthamaki, na ataari ake, na anene ake, na andũ othe a Isiraeli arĩa maarĩ kuo, nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.
ngabalinganisela umnikelo wesiliva legolide lempahla ezaziyizipho ezasisuka enkosini, labacebisi bayo, lezikhulu zayo labako-Israyeli bonke ababekhona lapho, siyisipho sendlu kaNkulunkulu.
26 Ngĩmathimĩra taranda 650 cia betha, na indo cia betha cia ũritũ wa taranda igana rĩmwe, na taranda igana rĩmwe cia thahabu,
Ngabalinganisela amathalenta angamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi amahlanu esiliva, impahla zesiliva ezilobunzima obungamathalenta alikhulu, amathalenta alikhulu egolide,
27 na mbakũri 20 cia thahabu cia thogora wa mbaũni 1,000, na indo igĩrĩ cia gĩcango gĩtherie mũno kĩa goro o ta thahabu.
imiganu yegolide engamatshumi amabili kuthiwa intengo yayo ingaba ngamadariki ayinkulungwane, lezitsha ezimbili ezethusi elilolongiweyo eliligugu njengegolide.
28 Ngĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ o ũndũ ũmwe na indo ici nĩ mwamũrĩirwo Jehova. Betha na thahabu ici nĩ maruta ma kwĩyendera marutĩirwo Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu.
Ngathi kubo, “Lina kanye lempahla lezi lingcwelisiwe eNkosini. Isiliva legolide kungumnikelo wokuzithandela kuThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu.
29 Mũcimenyerere wega o nginya rĩrĩa mũgaacithimĩra tũnyũmba-inĩ tũrĩa tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova kũu Jerusalemu mbere ya athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa atongoria, na Alawii, na atongoria a nyũmba cia Isiraeli.”
Kulindeni ngonanzelelo lize liyokulinganisa emakamelweni endlu kaThixo eJerusalema phambi kwabakhokheli babaphristi lamaLevi labayizinhloko zezimuli zako-Israyeli.”
30 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii makĩamũkĩra betha na thahabu, na indo icio nyamũre iria ciathimĩtwo nĩguo itwarwo nyũmba ya Ngai witũ kũu Jerusalemu.
Kwathi-ke abaphristi labaLevi basemukela isiliva legolide lempahla ezingcwele ezazilinganisiwe ukuze zisiwe endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu eJerusalema.
31 Na mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ mweri wa mbere tũkiuma rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Ahava twerekeire Jerusalemu. Guoko kwa Ngai witũ kwarĩ hamwe na ithuĩ, nake agĩtũgitĩra kuuma kũrĩ thũ na njangiri njĩra-inĩ.
Ngosuku lwetshumi lambili lwenyanga yokuqala saphakama sasuka eMgelweni we-Ahava saqonda eJerusalema. Isandla sikaNkulunkulu wethu sasiphezu kwethu, wasivikela ezitheni lasezigebengwini indlela yonke.
32 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩkinya Jerusalemu, na tũkĩhurũka kuo mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
Ngakho safika eJerusalema, saphumula khona okwensuku ezintathu.
33 Mũthenya wa kana, tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Ngai witũ, tũgĩthima betha na thahabu na indo iria nyamũre ikĩneanwo moko-inĩ ma Meremothu mũrũ wa Uria, ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai. Eleazaru mũrũ wa Finehasi aarĩ hamwe nake, o ũndũ ũmwe na Jozabadu mũrũ wa Jeshua, na Noadia mũrũ wa Binui, arĩa Alawii.
Ngosuku lwesine sangena endlini kaNkulunkulu salinganisa isiliva legolide lempahla zonke ezingcwelisiweyo sazibeka ezandleni zikaMeremothi indodana ka-Uriya umphristi. U-Eliyezari indodana kaFinehasi laye wayekhona, labaLevi oJozabhadi indodana kaJeshuwa loNowadiya indodana kaBhinuwi.
34 Indo ciothe nĩciatarirwo kũringana na mũigana na ũritũ wacio, naguo ũritũ wacio ũrĩ wothe ũkĩandĩkwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
Konke kwakukhona ngenani lakho langesisindo, kwathi isisindo sonke salotshwa phansi ngasonaleso isikhathi.
35 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa maacookete kuuma kũrĩa maatahĩirwo makĩrutĩra Ngai wa Isiraeli maruta ma njino: makĩruta ndegwa ikũmi na igĩrĩ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Isiraeli othe, na ndũrũme mĩrongo kenda na ithathatũ, na tũtũrũme mĩrongo mũgwanja na mũgwanja, na makĩruta thenge ikũmi na igĩrĩ irĩ iruta rĩa kũhoroheria mehia. Ici ciothe ciarutĩirwo Jehova irĩ iruta rĩa njino.
Yikho izithunywa ezabuya ebugqilini zenza umnikelo wokutshiswa kuNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli: inkunzi ezilitshumi lambili ezika-Israyeli wonke, inqama ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lesithupha, amawundlu amaduna angamatshumi ayisikhombisa lesikhombisa kanye lomnikelo wesono oyizimpongo ezilitshumi lambili. Konke lokhu kwakungumnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo.
36 Magĩcooka magĩtwara mawatho ma mũthamaki kũrĩ anene arĩa maathuurĩtwo nĩ mũthamaki, na kũrĩ mabarũthi ma Mũrĩmo-wa-Farati, nao magĩteithia andũ na magĩteithĩrĩria maũndũ ma nyũmba ya Ngai.
Bathi njalo bethula imilayo yenkosi kuzikhulu zenkosi lakubabusi bangaphetsheya kweYufrathe, okwathi-ke bona bancedisa abantu kanye lasendlini kaNkulunkulu.
