Hijeh chun thempu ho le Levi mite jouse chun Israel Pathen Pakai thingkong Jerusalem mun’a putdoh nadin kilhai na ana nei uvin ahi.
15 Yikho abaLevi bathwala ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo ngezibambo zezigodo emahlombe abo, njengokulaya kukaMosi kulandelwa ilizwi likaThixo.
Chuin Pakai in Mose athuhil bang chun Levi miten Pathen thingkong chu moljol in alengkou un ahin pu uvin ahi.
16 UDavida watshela abakhokheli babaLevi ukuthi bakhethe abafowabo ukuthi babe ngabahlabeleli ukuze bahlabelele izingoma ezimnandi, betshaya amachacho lezigubhu lemihubhe.
Hichun David in jong lamkai ho chu thu apen Levi mite lasathem le tumging them hon kipa lasah a tumging le semjang sai a khutbeh gintho ding in asei e.
17 AbaLevi bakhetha uHemani indodana kaJoweli; kubafowabo, u-Asafi indodana kaBherekhiya; lakubafowabo amaMerari, u-Ethani indodana kaKhushaya;

24 loShebhaniya, loJoshafathi loNethaneli, lo-Amasayi, loZakhariya, loBhenaya kanye lo-Eliyezari bengabaphristi bokuvuthela icilongo phambi kwebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu. U-Obhedi-Edomi loJehiya labo babengabalindi beminyango yebhokisi lesivumelwano.

25 Ngakho uDavida labadala bako-Israyeli labalawuli bamaxuku enkulungwane bahamba ukuyathatha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo endlini ka-Obhedi-Edomi, bahamba ngokujabula.
David le Israel upate chule sepai lamkai pipuho chun Pakai kitepna thingkong chu Jerusalem a ahin pohlut a loupi tah a kipa pi ding in Obed-edom inpia chun ana cheuve.
26 Ngoba uNkulunkulu wayebasizile abakoLevi ababethwele ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo, benza umhlatshelo wenkunzi eziyisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisa.
Chule Pathen in Levi mite akithopi a, amahon Pakai kitepna thingkong ahin pohlut jeh u chun bongchal sagi le kelngoi sagi kilhai nan anathat uve.
27 UDavida labo bonke abaLevi ababethwele ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo labahlabeleli loKhenaniya umkhokheli wabahlabeleli babegqoke izigqoko zelembu lelineni elihle, uDavida wayegqoke lesigqoko semahlombe selineni elihle.

28 Ngakho abako-Israyeli ngobunengi babo baletha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo ngomdumo omkhulu, bevuthela impondo zenqama betshaya lamacilongo, lezigubhu lamachacho lemihubhe.
Hiti chun Israel mite chun kipana aw thong’a sampum le sumkon gin le saki mutgin chule khutbeh beng ginle semjang saiging tho in Pakai kitepna thingkong chu ahin pulut uvin ahi.
29 Ekungeneni kwebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo eMzini kaDavida, uMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli wayebukele elunguze ngefasitela. Wathi ebona inkosi uDavida izithokozisa igida, wayeyisa ngenhliziyo yakhe.
