25 A kaupaona iho la au no lakou i ke kala, a i ke gula, a me na kiaha, ka manawalea no ka hale o ko kakou Akua, a ke alii, a me kona poe kakaolelo, a me kona poe luna, a me ka Iseraela a pau e noho ana, i haawi mai ai:
ngabalinganisela umnikelo wesiliva legolide lempahla ezaziyizipho ezasisuka enkosini, labacebisi bayo, lezikhulu zayo labako-Israyeli bonke ababekhona lapho, siyisipho sendlu kaNkulunkulu.
26 Kaupaona aku la nu no ko lakou lima i eono haneri a mo kanalima talena kala, a me na kiaha kala hookahi haneri talena, a me ke gula hookahi haneri talena;
Ngabalinganisela amathalenta angamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi amahlanu esiliva, impahla zesiliva ezilobunzima obungamathalenta alikhulu, amathalenta alikhulu egolide,
27 A he iwakalua bola gula, hookahi tausani derama; a elua kiaha keleawe melemele maikai, he nui ke kumukuai, e like me ke gula.
imiganu yegolide engamatshumi amabili kuthiwa intengo yayo ingaba ngamadariki ayinkulungwane, lezitsha ezimbili ezethusi elilolongiweyo eliligugu njengegolide.
28 A i aku la au ia lakou, Ua hoolaaia oukou no Iehova: ua hoolaaia no hoi na kiaha; a o ke kala a me ke gula, he makana wale no Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna.
Ngathi kubo, “Lina kanye lempahla lezi lingcwelisiwe eNkosini. Isiliva legolide kungumnikelo wokuzithandela kuThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu.
29 E makaala oukou, a e malama hoi, a kaupaona oukou ia mea imua o na luna kahuna a me na Levi, a me na mea koikoi o na makua o ka Iseraela ma Ierusalema, iloko o na keena ma ka hale o Iehova.
Kulindeni ngonanzelelo lize liyokulinganisa emakamelweni endlu kaThixo eJerusalema phambi kwabakhokheli babaphristi lamaLevi labayizinhloko zezimuli zako-Israyeli.”
30 A lawe ae la na kahuna a me na Levi i ke kala, a me ke gula, a me na kiaha i kaupaonaia, e hali aku i Ierusalema ma ka hale o ko kakou Akua.
Kwathi-ke abaphristi labaLevi basemukela isiliva legolide lempahla ezingcwele ezazilinganisiwe ukuze zisiwe endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu eJerusalema.
31 A haalele makou i ka muliwai o Ahava, i ka la umikumamalua o ka malama mua, e hele i Ierusalema; a maluna o makou ka lima o ko makou Akua, a hoopakele no oia ia makou i ka lima o ka enemi, a me ka poe hoohalua ma ke ala.
Ngosuku lwetshumi lambili lwenyanga yokuqala saphakama sasuka eMgelweni we-Ahava saqonda eJerusalema. Isandla sikaNkulunkulu wethu sasiphezu kwethu, wasivikela ezitheni lasezigebengwini indlela yonke.
32 A hele mai makou i Ierusalema, a noho malaila i na la ekolu.
Ngakho safika eJerusalema, saphumula khona okwensuku ezintathu.
33 A i ka ha o ka la, kaupaonaia ke kala, a me ke gula, a me na kiaha, iloko o ka hale o ko kakou Akua, ma ka lima o Meremota, ke keiki a Uria ke kahana; a me ia no o Eleazara, ke keiki a Pioehasa; a me lakou no o Iozabada, ke keiki a Iesua, a o Noadia, ke keiki a Binui, no na Levi;
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 Ma ka helu ana, a me ke kaupaona ana, o na mea a pau: a o na paona a pau, ua kakauia i kela manawa.
Konke kwakukhona ngenani lakho langesisindo, kwathi isisindo sonke salotshwa phansi ngasonaleso isikhathi.
35 A o na keiki a ka poe pio i hoi hou mai, kaumaha aku lakou i na mohaikuni i ke Akua o ka Iseraela, he umikumamalua na bipikane no ka Iseraela a pau, a he kanaiwakumamaono na hipakane, a he kauahikukumamahiku na keikihipa, he umikumamalua na kaokane, i mohai hala: oia mea a pau i mohaikuni ia Iehova.
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 A haawi aku lakou i na kauoha a ke alii, i na kiaaina, a me na'lii aimoku o ke alii ma keia aoao o ka muliwai; a kokua lakou i na kauaka, a me ka hale o ke Akua.
Bathi njalo bethula imilayo yenkosi kuzikhulu zenkosi lakubabusi bangaphetsheya kweYufrathe, okwathi-ke bona bancedisa abantu kanye lasendlini kaNkulunkulu.
