2 Ngalesosikhathi uDavida wathi: Kakho ongathwala umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwamaLevi, ngoba yiwo iNkosi eyawakhethela ukuthwala umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu, lokuyikhonza kuze kube nininini.
Afei, ɔhyɛɛ sɛ, “Sɛ yɛma Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no so de rekɔ a, obiara nni ho kwan sɛ ɔsoa bi agye Lewifoɔ no nko ara. Awurade ayi wɔn sɛ, wɔn nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsoa Awurade Apam Adaka no na wɔsom wɔ nʼanim daa daa.”
3 UDavida wasebuthanisa uIsrayeli wonke eJerusalema ukuze benyuse umtshokotsho weNkosi endaweni yawo ayeyilungisele wona.
Afei, Dawid frɛɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔmfa Awurade Apam Adaka no nkɔsi baabi a wɔasiesie ama no no.

Afei, Dawid frɛɛ asɔfoɔ Sadok ne Abiatar ne saa Lewifoɔ mpanimfoɔ yi: Uriel, Asaia, Yoɛl, Semaia, Eliel ne Aminadab.
12 Wasesithi kubo: Lizinhloko zaboyise bamaLevi; zingcweliseni lina labafowenu ukuze lenyuse umtshokotsho weNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli endaweni engiyilungisele wona.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo na moyɛ Lewifoɔ mmusua mu ntuanofoɔ. Mo ne Lewifoɔ a wɔka mo ho nyinaa nnwira mo ho, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mobɛtumi de Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, Apam Adaka bɛba beaeɛ a masiesie ama no no.
13 Ngoba lina lalingekho kuqala, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yafohlela kithi, ngoba singayidinganga ngokwesimiso.
Esiane sɛ, kane no, mo Lewifoɔ ansoa Apam Adaka no enti, Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, abufuo sɔre tiaa yɛn. Yɛammisa Onyankopɔn ɛkwan pa a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛfa so soa.”
14 Ngakho abapristi lamaLevi bazingcwelisa ukwenyusa umtshokotsho weNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
Enti, asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no dwiraa wɔn ho, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛtumi de Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no akɔ Yerusalem.
15 Abantwana bamaLevi basebethwala umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu, njengokulaya kukaMozisi ngokwelizwi leNkosi, emahlombe abo ngemijabo phezu kwabo.
Na Lewifoɔ no soaa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no wɔ wɔn mmati so a, nnua a wɔde soa no hyehyɛ ho pɛpɛɛpɛ, sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
16 UDavida wasesithi ezinduneni zamaLevi zimise abafowabo, abahlabeleli, lezinto zokuhlabelela lezigubhu zezintambo lamachacho lezinsimbi ezincencethayo, bazizwakalise, ngokuphakamisa ilizwi ngentokozo.
Dawid hyɛɛ Lewifoɔ mpanimfoɔ no nso sɛ, wɔnte Lewifoɔ nnwomtofoɔ kuo, wɔn a wɔnim nnwontoɔ, ne wɔn a wɔwɔ nnwontoɔ ho nimdeɛ na wɔmfa mmɛnta, mmɛn, asankuten ne kyankyan mmɛto anigyeɛ nnwom.
17 AmaLevi asemisa uHemani indodana kaJoweli, lakubafowabo uAsafi indodana kaBerekiya, lemadodaneni kaMerari abafowabo uEthani indodana kaKushaya.
Na Lewifoɔ no yii Yoɛl babarima Heman, Berekia babarima Asaf ne Kusaia babarima Etan a wɔfiri Merari abusua mu, ma wɔdii nnwomtofoɔ no anim.
18 Njalo kanye labo abafowabo besigaba sesibili: OZekhariya, uBeni, loJahaziyeli, loShemiramothi, loJehiyeli, loUni, uEliyabi, loBhenaya, loMahaseya, loMathithiya, loElifelehu, loMikineya, loObedi-Edoma, loJeyiyeli, abalindi bamasango.
Wɔyii saa mmarima yi sɛ wɔn aboafoɔ: Sakaria, Ben, Yaasiel, Semiramot, Yehiel, Uni, Eliab, Benaia, Maaseia, Matitia, Elifelehu, Mikneia ne apono ano ahwɛfoɔ Obed-Edom ne Yeiel.
19 Abahlabeleli oHemani, uAsafi, loEthani bazizwakalisa-ke ngensimbi ezincencethayo zethusi.
Wɔyii Heman, Asaf ne Etan sɛ wɔmmɔ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ kyankyan no.
20 LoZekhariya loAziyeli loShemiramothi loJehiyeli loUni loEliyabi loMahaseya loBhenaya belezigubhu zezintambo ngeAlamothi.
Wɔyii Sakaria, Asiel, Semiramot, Yehiel, Uni, Eliab, Maaseia ne Benaia sɛ wɔmmɔ mmɛnta no.
21 LoMathithiya loElifelehu loMikineya loObedi-Edoma loJeyiyeli loAzaziya belamachacho ngeSheminithi ukukhokhela.
Wɔyii Matitia, Elifelehu, Miknela, Obed-Edom, Yeiel ne Asasia sɛ wɔmmɔ asankuten no.
22 LoKenaniya induna yamaLevi emthwalweni, wafundisa ngokuhlabelela ngoba wayeyingcitshi.
Wɔyii Kenania a ɔyɛ Lewifoɔ panin no sɛ ɔnna nnwontokuo no ano, ɛsiane ne nimdeɛ enti.
23 LoBerekiya loElkana babengabagcini bamasango omtshokotsho.
Wɔyii Berekia ne Elkana sɛ wɔnwɛn Apam Adaka no.
24 LoShebaniya loJoshafati loNethaneli loAmasayi loZekhariya loBhenaya loEliyezeri abapristi bakhalisa izimpondo phambi komtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu. LoObedi-Edoma loJehiya babengabagcinimasango bomtshokotsho.
Sebania, Yosafat, Netanel, Amasai, Sakaria, Benaia ne Elieser a wɔn nyinaa yɛ asɔfoɔ no na wɔbɛto santen adi Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no anim, ahyɛn ntotorobɛnto no. Wɔyii Obed-Edom ne Yehia nso sɛ wɔnwɛn Apam Adaka no.
25 Kwasekusithi uDavida labadala bakoIsrayeli lenduna zezinkulungwane bahamba ukwenyusa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi uvela endlini kaObedi-Edoma ngentokozo.
Afei, Dawid ne Israel mpanimfoɔ ne akodɔm asahene no de ahokeka a ɛso bi nni kɔɔ Obed-Edom fie sɛ wɔrekɔfa Awurade Apam Adaka no akɔ Yerusalem.
26 Kwasekusithi uNkulunkulu ewasiza amaLevi ayewuthwele umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi, banikela umhlatshelo wamajongosi ayisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisa.
Na ɛsiane sɛ akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ Awurade ka Lewifoɔ a wɔso Awurade Apam Adaka no ho no enti, wɔde anantwinini nson ne nnwennini nson bɔɔ afɔdeɛ.
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.
Wɔhyɛɛ Dawid serekye atadeɛ fɛfɛ bi. Saa ara na Lewifoɔ a wɔsoaa Apam Adaka no, nnwomtofoɔ no ne Kenania a ɔyɛ nnwomtofoɔ kwankyerɛfoɔ no nso yɛeɛ. Na Dawid hyɛ asɔfoɔ ngugusoɔ bi nso.
28 Ngakho uIsrayeli wonke wawenyusa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi ngokumemeza langokukhala kophondo lwenqama, langezimpondo, langezinsimbi ezincencethayo, besenza umsindo ngezigubhu zezintambo lamachacho.
Enti, Israel nyinaa de ahokeka, osebɔ, mmɛnhyɛn ne totorobɛntohyɛn, kyankyanbɔ, mmɛnta ne asankutenbɔ de Awurade Apam Adaka no kɔɔ Yerusalem.
29 Kwasekusithi lapho umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi ufika emzini kaDavida, uMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli walunguza ngewindi wabona inkosi uDavida esina edlala, wamdelela enhliziyweni yakhe.
Na ɛberɛ a Awurade Apam Adaka no wuraa Dawid kuro mu no, Saulo babaa Mikal too nʼani hwɛɛ fam, firii ne mpomma mu. Ɛberɛ a ɔhunuu sɛ ɔhene Dawid resa na ɔde anigyeɛ rehurihuri no, ɔbuu no animtiaa nʼakoma mu.
