1 Wasezenzela izindlu emzini kaDavida, walungisela umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu indawo, wawumisela ithente.
Bayan Dawuda ya yi gine-gine wa kansa a Birnin Dawuda, sai ya shirya wuri domin akwatin alkawarin Allah, ya kuma kafa tenti dominsa.
2 Ngalesosikhathi uDavida wathi: Kakho ongathwala umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwamaLevi, ngoba yiwo iNkosi eyawakhethela ukuthwala umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu, lokuyikhonza kuze kube nininini.
Sa’an nan Dawuda ya ce, “Babu wani sai ko Lawiyawa kaɗai za su ɗauka akwatin alkawarin Allah, gama Ubangiji ya zaɓe su su ɗauka akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji su kuma yi hidima a gabansa har abada.”
3 UDavida wasebuthanisa uIsrayeli wonke eJerusalema ukuze benyuse umtshokotsho weNkosi endaweni yawo ayeyilungisele wona.
Dawuda ya tattara dukan Isra’ila a Urushalima don su haura da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji zuwa wurin da aka shirya dominsa.

11 UDavida wasebiza oZadoki loAbhiyatha abapristi, lamaLevi, oUriyeli, uAsaya, loJoweli, uShemaya, loEliyeli, loAminadaba.
Sa’an nan Dawuda ya kira Zadok da Abiyatar, firistoci, tare da Uriyel, Asahiya, Yowel, Shemahiya, Eliyel da Amminadab, Lawiyawa.
12 Wasesithi kubo: Lizinhloko zaboyise bamaLevi; zingcweliseni lina labafowenu ukuze lenyuse umtshokotsho weNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli endaweni engiyilungisele wona.
Ya ce musu, “Ku ne kawunan iyalan Lawiyawa; ku da’yan’uwanku Lawiyawa, sai ku tsarkake kanku ku hauro da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, zuwa wurin da na shirya dominsa.
13 Ngoba lina lalingekho kuqala, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yafohlela kithi, ngoba singayidinganga ngokwesimiso.
Domin ku, Lawiyawa ba ku haura da shi da farko ba ne ya sa Ubangiji Allahnmu ya husata a kanmu. Ba mu tambaye shi game da yadda za mu yi shi a hanyar da aka ƙayyade ba.”
14 Ngakho abapristi lamaLevi bazingcwelisa ukwenyusa umtshokotsho weNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
Saboda haka firistoci da Lawiyawa suka tsarkake kansu don su hauro da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila.
15 Abantwana bamaLevi basebethwala umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu, njengokulaya kukaMozisi ngokwelizwi leNkosi, emahlombe abo ngemijabo phezu kwabo.
Sai Lawiyawa suka ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Allah da sanduna a kafaɗunsu, kamar yadda Musa ya umarta bisa ga maganar Ubangiji.
16 UDavida wasesithi ezinduneni zamaLevi zimise abafowabo, abahlabeleli, lezinto zokuhlabelela lezigubhu zezintambo lamachacho lezinsimbi ezincencethayo, bazizwakalise, ngokuphakamisa ilizwi ngentokozo.
Dawuda ya faɗa wa shugabannin Lawiyawa su sa’yan’uwansu su zama mawaƙa don su rera waƙoƙi masu farin ciki, da kayayyakin bushe-bushe, da kaɗe-kaɗe, molaye, garayu da ganguna.
17 AmaLevi asemisa uHemani indodana kaJoweli, lakubafowabo uAsafi indodana kaBerekiya, lemadodaneni kaMerari abafowabo uEthani indodana kaKushaya.
Saboda haka Lawiyawa suka zaɓi Heman ɗan Yowel, da Asaf ɗan Berekiya daga cikin’yan’uwansu. Daga iyalin Merari kuma aka zaɓi Etan ɗan Kushahiya.
18 Njalo kanye labo abafowabo besigaba sesibili: OZekhariya, uBeni, loJahaziyeli, loShemiramothi, loJehiyeli, loUni, uEliyabi, loBhenaya, loMahaseya, loMathithiya, loElifelehu, loMikineya, loObedi-Edoma, loJeyiyeli, abalindi bamasango.
Tare da su kuma’yan’uwansa da suke biye bisa ga matsayi. Wato, Zakariya, Ya’aziyel, Shemiramot, Yehiyel, Unni, Eliyab, Ben, Ma’asehiya, Mattitiya, Elifelehu, Miknehiya, Obed-Edom da Yehiyel, matsaran ƙofofi.
19 Abahlabeleli oHemani, uAsafi, loEthani bazizwakalisa-ke ngensimbi ezincencethayo zethusi.
Mawaƙan nan Heman, Asaf da Etan, ne za su buga kugen tagulla.
20 LoZekhariya loAziyeli loShemiramothi loJehiyeli loUni loEliyabi loMahaseya loBhenaya belezigubhu zezintambo ngeAlamothi.
Zakariya, Aziyel, Shemiramot, Yehiyel, Unni, Eliyab, Ma’asehiya da Benahiya, ne za su kaɗa molaye masu murya sama-sama, bisa ga alamot.
21 LoMathithiya loElifelehu loMikineya loObedi-Edoma loJeyiyeli loAzaziya belamachacho ngeSheminithi ukukhokhela.
Mattitiya, Elifelehu, Miknehiya, Obed-Edom, Yehiyel da Azaziya, ne za su ja garayu masu murya ƙasa-ƙasa bisa ga sheminit.
22 LoKenaniya induna yamaLevi emthwalweni, wafundisa ngokuhlabelela ngoba wayeyingcitshi.
Kenaniya, shugaban Lawiyawa, shi ne mai bi da waƙoƙi. Wannan hakkinsa ne, gama shi gwani ne a wannan fanni.
23 LoBerekiya loElkana babengabagcini bamasango omtshokotsho.
Berekiya da Elkana, ne za su zama masu lura da ƙofofi domin akwatin alkawarin.
24 LoShebaniya loJoshafati loNethaneli loAmasayi loZekhariya loBhenaya loEliyezeri abapristi bakhalisa izimpondo phambi komtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu. LoObedi-Edoma loJehiya babengabagcinimasango bomtshokotsho.
Shebaniya, Yoshafat, Netanel, Amasai, Zakariya, Benahiya da Eliyezer firistoci, su ne za su busa ƙahoni a gaban akwatin alkawarin Allah. Obed-Edom da Yehiya su ma za su zama masu lura da ƙofofi domin akwatin alkawarin.
25 Kwasekusithi uDavida labadala bakoIsrayeli lenduna zezinkulungwane bahamba ukwenyusa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi uvela endlini kaObedi-Edoma ngentokozo.
Sai Dawuda da dattawan Isra’ila da shugabannin ƙungiyoyi dubu suka haura don su kawo akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji daga gidan Obed-Edom, da farin ciki.
26 Kwasekusithi uNkulunkulu ewasiza amaLevi ayewuthwele umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi, banikela umhlatshelo wamajongosi ayisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisa.
Domin Allah ya taimaki Lawiyawan da suke ɗaukar akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, aka miƙa hadayar bijimai bakwai da raguna bakwai.
27 Njalo uDavida wayegqoke isembatho selembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, lawo wonke amaLevi ayewuthwele umtshokotsho labahlabeleli loKenaniya induna yomthwalo wabahlabeleli; uDavida-ke wayegqoke i-efodi yelembu elicolekileyo.
To, fa, Dawuda yana saye da kyakkyawar rigar lilin, kamar yadda dukan Lawiyawa waɗanda suke ɗaukar akwatin alkawarin suka sa, da kuma yadda mawaƙa, da Kenaniya, wanda yake bi da waƙar mawaƙan ya sa. Dawuda kuma ya sa efod lilin.
28 Ngakho uIsrayeli wonke wawenyusa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi ngokumemeza langokukhala kophondo lwenqama, langezimpondo, langezinsimbi ezincencethayo, besenza umsindo ngezigubhu zezintambo lamachacho.
Sai dukan Isra’ila suka kawo akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji da sowa, da ƙarar ƙahonin raguna da busan ƙahoni, da na ganguna, suna kuma kaɗa molaye da garayu.
29 Kwasekusithi lapho umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi ufika emzini kaDavida, uMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli walunguza ngewindi wabona inkosi uDavida esina edlala, wamdelela enhliziyweni yakhe.
Yayinda akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji yake shiga Birnin Dawuda, Mikal’yar Shawulu ta leƙa daga taga. Sa’ad da ta ga Sarki Dawuda yana rawa yana shagali, sai ta rena masa wayo a zuciyarta.
