Ngasengibabuthanisa ngasemfuleni oya eAhava, samisa inkamba khona insuku ezintathu. Ngananzelela abantu labapristi, njalo kangitholanga lapho abamadodana kaLevi.

16 Kyennava ntumya Eryeza ne Alyeri ne Semaaya ne Erunasani ne Yalibu ne Erunasani ne Nasani ne Zekkaliya ne Mesullamu, abaali abakulembeze ne Yoyalibu ne Erunasani, abaali abategeevu,

Ngasengithuma kuEliyezeri, kuAriyeli, kuShemaya, lakuElinathani, lakuJaribi, lakuElinathani, lakuNathani, lakuZekhariya, lakuMeshulamu, izinhloko, lakuJoyaribi, lakuElinathani, abaqedisisayo,

ngasengibalayela kuIdo, inhloko endaweni iKasifiya, ngafaka amazwi emlonyeni wabo ukuthi bathi kuIdo, labafowabo, amaNethini endaweni iKasifiya, ukuthi basilethele izikhonzi zendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu.

18 Olw’omukono gwa Katonda ogwali awamu naffe, ne batuleetera omusajja omutegeevu, omu ku bazzukulu ba Makuli, mutabani wa Leevi, mutabani wa Isirayiri, erinnya lye Serebiya, wamu ne baganda be ne batabani baabwe, abasajja kkumi na munaana;

20 Ate era ne baleeta n’abaweereza ba yeekaalu Dawudi n’abakungu be baalonda okubeeranga Abaleevi ebikumi bibiri mu abiri. Bonna baali beewandiisizza.

lakumaNethini, uDavida leziphathamandla ababewanikele emsebenzini wamaLevi, amaNethini angamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amabili, wonke awo abizwa ngamabizo.

21 Awo ku mugga Akava, ne nangirira okusiiba, twetoowaze mu maaso ga Katonda waffe, nga tumwegayirira okubeera awamu naffe n’abaana baffe n’ebintu byaffe byonna mu lugendo lwaffe.

Ngasengimemezela ukuzila ukudla khona emfuleni iAhava ukuze sizithobe phambi kukaNkulunkulu wethu, sizidingele kuye indlela eqondileyo thina labantwanyana bethu lazo zonke impahla zethu.

22 Nakwatibwa ensonyi okusaba kabaka abaserikale abakuumi ab’ebigere n’abeebagala embalaasi okutukuuma eri abalabe, kubanga twali tumutegeezeza nti, “Omukono omulungi ogwa Katonda waffe gubeera ku buli muntu amunoonya, naye obusungu bwe bubeera ku abo abamujeemera.”

Ngoba ngaba lenhloni ukucela enkosini ibutho labagadi bamabhiza ukusinceda ezitheni endleleni; ngoba sasiyitshelile inkosi sisithi: Isandla sikaNkulunkulu wethu siphezu kwabo bonke abamdinga kube okuhle, kodwa amandla akhe lolaka lwakhe kuphezu kwabo bonke abamdelayo.

23 Kyetwava tusiiba ne twegayirira Katonda waffe ku nsonga eyo, era n’addamu okusaba kwaffe.

Ngakho sazila ukudla sadinga kuNkulunkulu wethu ngenxa yalokhu; wasencengeka ngathi.

24 Awo ne nonda Serebiya ne Kasabiya ne baganda baabwe abalala kkumi, be bantu kkumi na babiri okuva mu bakabona abakulu,

Ngasengisehlukanisa abalitshumi lambili kunhloko zabapristi, oSherebiya, uHashabhiya, labalitshumi kubafowabo kanye labo.

25 ne mbapimira ffeeza ne zaabu n’ebintu kabaka, n’abaami be, n’abakungu be, ne Isirayiri yenna, bye baawaayo ku lw’ennyumba ya Katonda waffe.

Ngasengibalinganisela isiliva legolide lezitsha, umnikelo wendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu, inkosi labacebisi bayo leziphathamandla zayo loIsrayeli wonke owayekhona ababekunikele;

26 Ne mbagererera ttani amakumi abiri mu ttaano eza ffeeza, n’ebintu ebya ffeeza obuzito bwabyo ttani ssatu n’ebitundu bisatu byakuna, ne zaabu ttani ssatu n’ebitundu bisatu byakuna,

ngasengilinganisa esandleni sabo amathalenta esiliva angamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi amahlanu, lamathalenta alikhulu ezitsha zesiliva, lamathalenta egolide alikhulu,

27 ne kilo munaana n’ekitundu eza zaabu, n’ebitundu bibiri eby’ekikomo ebirungi ebizigule, eby’omuwendo nga zaabu.

lemiganu yegolide engamatshumi amabili kuze kube zinhlamvu eziyinkulungwane, lezitsha ezimbili zethusi elikhazimulayo elihle eliloyiseka njengegolide.

28 Ne mbategeeza nti, “Muli batukuvu eri Mukama, n’ebintu bino bitukuvu eri Mukama. Effeeza ne zaabu biweebwayo kyeyagalire eri Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjammwe.

Ngasengisithi kibo: Lingcwele eNkosini, lezitsha zingcwele; lesiliva legolide kungumnikelo wesihle eNkosini, uNkulunkulu wabobaba.

29 Mubikuume bulungi era mubituuse bulungi eri bakabona abakulu n’Abaleevi, n’abakulu b’ennyumba za Isirayiri.”

Kulondolozeni likugcine lize likulinganise phambi kwenduna yabapristi lamaLevi lenhloko zaboyise bakoIsrayeli eJerusalema, emakamelweni endlu yeNkosi.

30 Awo bakabona n’Abaleevi ne baweebwa effeeza ne zaabu, n’ebintu ebyawongebwa, ebyali bipimiddwa, okubitwala mu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe e Yerusaalemi.

Abapristi lamaLevi basebesemukela isisindo sesiliva legolide lezitsha, ukuze bakuse eJerusalema, endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu.

31 Ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ebbiri olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye ne tusitula okuva ku mugga Akava okugenda e Yerusaalemi. Omukono gwa Katonda waffe ne gubeera wamu naffe, n’atukuuma eri abalabe n’abanyazi mu kkubo.

Sasuka-ke emfuleni iAhava ngolwetshumi lambili lwenyanga yokuqala ukuya eJerusalema. Lesandla sikaNkulunkulu wethu sasiphezu kwethu, wasikhulula esandleni sesitha lomcathami endleleni.

32 Ne tutuuka e Yerusaalemi gye twawumulira okumala ennaku ssatu.

Safika-ke eJerusalema, sahlala khona insuku ezintathu.

33 Awo ku lunaku olwokuna, nga tuli mu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe, ne tupima ffeeza ne zaabu n’ebintu ebyawongebwa ne tubikwasa Meremoosi kabona, mutabani wa Uliya, ne Eriyazaali mutabani wa Finekaasi eyali awamu naye, ne Yozabadi mutabani wa Yeswa, ne Nowadiya mutabani wa Binnuyi, Abaleevi.

Kwathi ngosuku lwesine isiliva legolide lezitsha kwalinganiswa endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu ngesandla sikaMeremothi indodana kaUriya umpristi, njalo kanye laye uEleyazare indodana kaPhinehasi, njalo kanye labo oJozabadi indodana kaJeshuwa, loNowadiya indodana kaBinuwi, amaLevi,

34 Byonna ne bibalibwa ng’omuwendo gwabyo bwe gwali n’obuzito bwabyo bwe bwali era ne biwandiikibwa.

ngenani ngesisindo sakho konke; laso sonke isisindo sabhalwa ngalesosikhathi.

35 Mu kiseera ekyo abaawaŋŋangusibwa, abakomawo okuva mu busibe, ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Katonda wa Isirayiri: ente ennume kkumi na bbiri ku lwa Isirayiri yenna, n’endiga ennume kyenda mu mukaaga, n’obuliga obuto nga bulume nsanvu mu musanvu, n’embuzi ennume kkumi na bbiri okuba ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, ebyo byonna ne biba ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama.

Abantwana bokuthunjwa ababebuyile ekuthunjweni banikela iminikelo yokutshiswa kuNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, amajongosi alitshumi lambili ngenxa kaIsrayeli wonke, izinqama ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lesithupha, amawundlu angamatshumi ayisikhombisa lesikhombisa, izimpongo ezilitshumi lambili zaba ngumnikelo wesono; konke kwakungumnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini.

36 Ate era ne batuusa n’ebiragiro bya kabaka eri bagavana n’abaamasaza abaali emitala w’omugga Fulaati, abafuzi abo ne bayamba abantu ne bawaayo n’obuyambi eri ennyumba ya Katonda.

Basebenika imithetho yenkosi kuziphathamandla zenkosi lakubabusi nganeno komfula; basekela abantu lendlu kaNkulunkulu.
