15 Ngababuthanisa eMgelweni wamanzi agelezela ku-Ahava, samisa khona okwensuku ezintathu. Ngathi sengihlola phakathi kwabantu labaphristi, kangitholanga loyedwa wamaLevi khona.
A hoakoakoa ae la au ia lakou ma ka muliwai e kahe ana i Ahava, a malaila makou i hoomoana'i i na ia ekolu: a nana aku la au i na kanaka, a me na kahuna, aole i lona malaila kekahi o na mamo a Levi.
16 Yikho ngasengibiza u-Eliyezari, lo-Ariyeli, loShemaya, lo-Elinathani, loJaribi, loNathani, loZakhariya loMeshulami ababengabakhokheli, loJoyaribi lo-Elinathani ababengabantu abafundileyo,
Alaila kii aku la au ia Eliezera, a ia Ariela, a ia Simaia, a ia Elenatana, a ia Iariba, a ia Elenatana, a ia Nataua, a ia Zekaria, a me Mesulama, he mau mea koikoi; a ia Ioiariba, a ia Elenatana, he mau mea naauao.
17 ngabathumela ku-Ido, lezihlobo zakhe, izinceku zethempelini eKhasifiya, ukwenzela ukuthi basilethele izikhonzi zendlu kaNkulunkulu.
A hoouna aku au ia lakou e kauoha ia Ido, i ka luna ma ke kauwahi i Kasipia, a hai aku au ia lakou i na mea a lakou e olelo aku ai ia Ido, a me kona mau houhanau, ka poe Netini ma ke kauwahi i Kaeipia, e lawe mai lakou na makou i mea lawelawe no ka hale o ko kakou Akua.
18 Ngoba isandla somusa sikaNkulunkulu sasiphezu kwethu, basilethela uSherebhiya, indoda emadodeni, owesizukulwane sikaMahili indodana kaLevi, indodana ka-Israyeli, lamadodana kaSherebhiya labafowabo, amadoda alitshumi lasificaminwembili;
A ma ka lima o ke Akua maluna o makou e pono ai, lawe mai lakou no makou i kekahi kanaka naauao no na keiki a Maheli, ka mamo a Levi, ke keiki a Iseraela; a ia Serebia, me kana mau keiki, a me kona mau hoahanau he umikumamawalu;
19 loHashabhiya, kanye loJeshaya owesizukulwane sikaMerari, kanye labafowabo labantwababo, bonke babengamadoda angamatshumi amabili.
A me Hasabia, a me ia no o Iesaia, no na mamo a Merari, kona mau hoahanau, a me ka lakou mau keiki, he iwakalua;
20 Bona beza lezinceku zethempelini ezingamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amabili ezazimiswe nguDavida lezinduna zakhe ukuncedisa abaLevi. Bonke babhalwa phansi amabizo abo.
A no ka poe Netini, na mea a Davida, a me na luna i hoonoho ai no ka oihana Levi, elua haneri a me ka iwakalua Netini: ua kaheaia lakou a pau ma ka inoa.
21 Khonapho, ekhunjini loMgelo we-Ahava, ngamemezela ukuzila ukudla, ukuze sizehlise phambi kukaNkulunkulu wethu simcele asiphe uhambo oluhle, thina labantwabethu, lempahla zethu zonke.
Alaila kukala aku au i hookeai malaila ma ka muliwai o Ahava, i hoohaahaa iho ai makou ia makou iho imua o ko kakou Akua, e imi aku ia ia i aoao pono no makou, a no ka makou kamalii, a no ka makou waiwai a pau.
22 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.”
No ka mea ua hilahila no wau e noi aku i ke alii i poe koa, a me na holohololio, e kokua ia makou no na enemi ma ke ala: no ka mea, ua olelo makou i ke alii, i ka i ana'ku, O ka lima o ko kakou Akua maluna o lakou a pau e pono ai, o ka poe e imi ana ia ia; aka, ua ku e mai kona mana a me kona huhu i ka poe a pau e haalele ia ia.
23 Ngakho sazila ukudla, samncenga uNkulunkulu wethu ngakho lokhu, wawuphendula umkhuleko wethu.
A hookeai iho la makou, n nonoi aku i ko kakou Akua no keia mea; a hoolohe mai no ia ia makou.
24 Ngasengisehlukanisa kwabanye abaphristi abalitshumi lambili abangabakhokheli, ndawonye loSherebhiya, loHashabhiya labalitshumi labafowabo,
Alaila hookaawale au i na luna kahuna he umikumamalua. o Serebia, o Hasabia, a ho umi o ko laua mau hoahanau me laua;
25 ngabalinganisela umnikelo wesiliva legolide lempahla ezaziyizipho ezasisuka enkosini, labacebisi bayo, lezikhulu zayo labako-Israyeli bonke ababekhona lapho, siyisipho sendlu kaNkulunkulu.
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:
26 Ngabalinganisela amathalenta angamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi amahlanu esiliva, impahla zesiliva ezilobunzima obungamathalenta alikhulu, amathalenta alikhulu egolide,
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;
27 imiganu yegolide engamatshumi amabili kuthiwa intengo yayo ingaba ngamadariki ayinkulungwane, lezitsha ezimbili ezethusi elilolongiweyo eliligugu njengegolide.
A he iwakalua bola gula, hookahi tausani derama; a elua kiaha keleawe melemele maikai, he nui ke kumukuai, e like me ke gula.
28 Ngathi kubo, “Lina kanye lempahla lezi lingcwelisiwe eNkosini. Isiliva legolide kungumnikelo wokuzithandela kuThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu.
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.
29 Kulindeni ngonanzelelo lize liyokulinganisa emakamelweni endlu kaThixo eJerusalema phambi kwabakhokheli babaphristi lamaLevi labayizinhloko zezimuli zako-Israyeli.”
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.
30 Kwathi-ke abaphristi labaLevi basemukela isiliva legolide lempahla ezingcwele ezazilinganisiwe ukuze zisiwe endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu eJerusalema.
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.
31 Ngosuku lwetshumi lambili lwenyanga yokuqala saphakama sasuka eMgelweni we-Ahava saqonda eJerusalema. Isandla sikaNkulunkulu wethu sasiphezu kwethu, wasivikela ezitheni lasezigebengwini indlela yonke.
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.
32 Ngakho safika eJerusalema, saphumula khona okwensuku ezintathu.
A hele mai makou i Ierusalema, a noho malaila i na la ekolu.
33 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.
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;
34 Konke kwakukhona ngenani lakho langesisindo, kwathi isisindo sonke salotshwa phansi ngasonaleso isikhathi.
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.
35 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.
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.
36 Bathi njalo bethula imilayo yenkosi kuzikhulu zenkosi lakubabusi bangaphetsheya kweYufrathe, okwathi-ke bona bancedisa abantu kanye lasendlini kaNkulunkulu.
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.
