Esi David wu xɔtutu nu na eɖokui le David ƒe Du la me vɔ la, edzra teƒe aɖe ɖo na Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la, hetu agbadɔ nɛ
2 UDavida wasesithi: “Kakho ozathwala ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwabaLevi ngoba uThixo wabakhethela ukuthwala ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo lokumkhonza kuze kube nininini.”

3 UDavida wasehlanganisa bonke abako-Israyeli eJerusalema ukuze balethe ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo endaweni ayeyilungisele lona.
Le esia megbe la, David yɔ Israel dukɔ blibo la va Yerusalem be woaɖatsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la va da ɖe teƒe si wòdzra ɖo ɖi nɛ.

11 UDavida wasenxusa abaphristi uZadokhi lo-Abhiyathari kanye lo-Uriyeli, lo-Asaya, loJoweli, loShemaya, lo-Eliyeli lo-Abhinadabi abaLevi.
David yɔ Zadok kple Abiata, ame siwo nye Nunɔlagãwo kple Uriel, Asaya, Yoel, Semaya, Eliel kple Aminadab, ame siwo nye Levi ƒe viwo ƒe kplɔlawo
12 Wasesithi kubo, “Lina lizinhloko zezindlu zabaLevi, zihlambululeni lina kanye lezihlobo zenu ukuze liyethatha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, lililethe endaweni engiyilungisele lona.
eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miawoe nye Levitɔwo ƒe kplɔlawo. Azɔ la, mi kple mia nɔviwo katã mikɔ mia ɖokuiwo ŋu ale be miatsɔ Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe nubablaɖaka la va teƒe si medzra ɖo ɖi nɛ.
13 UThixo uNkulunkulu wethu wasithukuthelela ngenxa yokuthi lina abaLevi, ayisini elathwala ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo kuqala. Asizanga sibuze kuThixo ukuthi kwakumele senzeni njengokulaya kwakhe.”
Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe mia ŋu esi mienɔ nubablaɖaka la kɔm elabena esi mi Levitɔwo míenɔ anyi gbe ma gbe o la, míebia Yehowa se nu si miawɔ la o.”
14 Ngakho abaphristi labaLevi bazihlambulula ukuze bathwale ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
Ale Nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋuti hedzra ɖo ɖe Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe nubablaɖaka la tsɔtsɔ gbɔe ŋu.
15 Yikho abaLevi bathwala ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo ngezibambo zezigodo emahlombe abo, njengokulaya kukaMosi kulandelwa ilizwi likaThixo.
Levitɔwo tsɔ nubablaɖaka la ɖe abɔta kple etsɔtiwo abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene la tututu.
16 UDavida watshela abakhokheli babaLevi ukuthi bakhethe abafowabo ukuthi babe ngabahlabeleli ukuze bahlabelele izingoma ezimnandi, betshaya amachacho lezigubhu lemihubhe.
Fia David na Levitɔwo ƒo ƒu hadzilawo nu eye wodzi ha sesĩe kple dzidzɔ ɖe saŋkuwo, kasaŋkuwo kple gakogoewo ƒe ɖiɖi ŋu.
17 AbaLevi bakhetha uHemani indodana kaJoweli; kubafowabo, u-Asafi indodana kaBherekhiya; lakubafowabo amaMerari, u-Ethani indodana kaKhushaya;
Ame siwo kpɔ hadzidzi kple nu siwo woƒo kpe ɖe eŋu dzi la woe nye Heman, Yoel ƒe vi kple Asaf, Berekia ƒe vi kple Etan, Kusaya ƒe vi, tso Merari ƒe viwo dome.

22 uKhenaniya umkhokheli kubaLevi wayengumhlabelisi; wayephethe lapha ngoba wayeligabazi.
Hadoɖalae nye Kenania, Levitɔwo Nunɔla; wotiae ɖe eƒe nunya ta.
23 UBherekhiya lo-Elikhana babengabalindi bamasango ebhokisi lesivumelwano,
Berekia kple Elkana nye nubablaɖaka la ŋu dzɔlawo.
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.
Ale David kple Israel ƒe dumegãwo kple ame akpewo ƒe aʋafiawo yi Obed Edom ƒe aƒe me be woatsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la tso afi ma kple aseyetsotso.
26 Ngoba uNkulunkulu wayebasizile abakoLevi ababethwele ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo, benza umhlatshelo wenkunzi eziyisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisa.
Esi Yehowa kpe ɖe Levitɔ siwo tsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la ŋu ta la, wotsɔ nyitsu adre kple agbo adre sa vɔe.
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.
Ale Israel katã tsɔ dzidzɔɣlidodo, lãdzowo kple kpẽwo kuku, gakogoewo kple saŋkuwo kple kasaŋkuwo ƒoƒo sesĩe tsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la yi Yerusalem.
29 Ekungeneni kwebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo eMzini kaDavida, uMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli wayebukele elunguze ngefasitela. Wathi ebona inkosi uDavida izithokozisa igida, wayeyisa ngenhliziyo yakhe.
