Vakauya neareka yaMwari vakaiisa mukati metende rayakanga yagadzirirwa naDhavhidhi, vakapa zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuwadzana pamberi paMwari.
2 UDavida eseqedile ukunikela umnikelo wokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula wababusisa abantu ebizweni leNkosi.
Dhavhidhi akati apedza kubayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa, akaropafadza vanhu muzita raJehovha.
3 Wasesabela wonke umuntu wakoIsrayeli kusukela kowesilisa kuze kube kowesifazana, kwaba ngulowo lalowo isinkwa esisodwa, leqatha lenyama, lesinkwa sezithelo zevini ezonyisiweyo.
Ipapo akapa mumwe nomumwe womudzimai nomurume wechiIsraeri rofu rechingwa, keke romuchero womuchindwe nekeke ramazambiringa akaoma.
4 Wasemisa izikhonzi kumaLevi phambi komtshokotsho weNkosi, ngitsho ukukhumbula lokubonga lokudumisa iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
Akagadza vamwe vavaRevhi kuti vashumire pamberi peareka yaJehovha, vakumbirire, vavonge uye kuti varumbidze Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri:
5 UAsafi inhloko, lowesibili kuye uZekhariya, uJeyiyeli, loShemiramothi, loJehiyeli, loMathithiya, loEliyabi, loBhenaya, loObedi-Edoma, loJeyiyeli belezinto zezigubhu zezintambo njalo lamachacho; uAsafi wasezizwakalisa ngezinsimbi ezincencethayo;

6 loBhenaya loJahaziyeli abapristi ngezimpondo njalonjalo phambi komtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.
uye Bhenaya naJahazieri vaprista vaizoridza hwamanda nguva dzose pamberi peareka yesungano yaMwari.
7 Ngalesosikhathi ngalolosuku uDavida wanika kuqala lesisihlabelelo ukudumisa iNkosi ngesandla sikaAsafi labafowabo:
Zuva iroro Dhavhidhi akapa kwokutanga Asafi navamwe vake pisarema iri rokuvonga Jehovha:
8 Bongani iNkosi, libize ibizo layo, lazise phakathi kwabantu izenzo zayo.
Vongai Jehovha, danai kuzita rake; zivisai pakati pendudzi dzose zvaakaita.
9 Hlabelelani kuyo, liyihubele amahubo, lilandise ngezenzo zayo ezimangalisayo.
Muimbirei, muimbirei nziyo dzokurumbidza; taurai zvose zvamabasa ake anoshamisa.
10 Zincomeni ebizweni layo elingcwele, kayithokoze inhliziyo yabo abadinga iNkosi.
Zvirumbidzei muzita rake dzvene; mwoyo yaavo vanotsvaka Jehovha ngaifare.
11 Dingani iNkosi lamandla ayo, lidinge ubuso bayo njalonjalo.
Tarisai kuna Jehovha nokusimba rake; tsvakai chiso chake nguva dzose.
12 Khumbulani izimangaliso zayo eyazenzayo, izibonakaliso zayo, lezahlulelo zomlomo wayo,
Rangarirai zvishamiso zvaakaita, zviratidzo zvake uye nemitongo yaakareva.
13 nzalo kaIsrayeli inceku yayo, bantwana bakaJakobe, abakhethiweyo bayo.
Haiwa, imi zvizvarwa zvaIsraeri muranda wake, haiwa imi vanakomana vaJakobho vasanangurwa vake.
14 IyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu; izahlulelo zayo zisemhlabeni wonke.
Ndiye Jehovha Mwari wedu; mitongo yake iri munyika yose.
15 Khumbulani isivumelwano sayo kuze kube nininini, ilizwi eyalilaya kuzinkulungwane zezizukulwana,
Anorangarira sungano yake nokusingaperi, shoko raakarayira, kwechiuru chezvizvarwa.
16 eyasenza loAbrahama, lesifungo sakhe kuIsaka,
Sungano yaakaita naAbhurahama, mhiko yaakapika kuna Isaka.
17 eyasiqinisa lakuJakobe saba yisimiso, kuIsrayeli saba yisivumelwano esilaphakade,
Akasimbisa kuna Jakobho somutemo, kuna Israeri sesungano isingaperi, achiti:
18 isithi: Ngizakunika ilizwe leKhanani, inkatho yelifa lakho.
“Kwauri ndichapa nyika yeKenani, sechikamu chenhaka yako.”
19 Lapho lalibalutshwana ngenani, yebo libalutshwana, njalo liyizihambi kulo.
Pavakanga vari vashoma, vari vashoma kwazvo, vari vatorwa mairi,
20 Basebezula besuka esizweni besiya esizweni, besuka embusweni besiya kwabanye abantu.
vakadzungaira kubva kuno rumwe rudzi kusvika kuno rumwe, kubva kuno humwe umambo kusvika kuno humwe.
21 Kayivumelanga muntu ukubacindezela; yebo yakhuza amakhosi ngenxa yabo:
Haana kutendera munhu kuti avadzvinyirire; nokuda kwavo akatuka madzimambo.
22 Lingathinti abagcotshiweyo bami, lingoni abaprofethi bami.
“Musabata vazodziwa vangu; musaitira vaprofita vangu zvakaipa.”
23 Hlabelelani eNkosini, mhlaba wonke, litshumayele insuku ngensuku usindiso lwayo.
Imbirai Jehovha, pasi pose; paridzai ruponeso rwake zuva nezuva.
24 Landisani udumo lwayo phakathi kwezizwe, izimangaliso zayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.
Zivisai kubwinya kwake pakati pendudzi, mabasa ake anoshamisa pakati pavanhu vose.
25 Ngoba yinkulu iNkosi, ifanele ukudunyiswa kakhulu, iyesabeka phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
Nokuti Jehovha mukuru uye anofanira kwazvo kurumbidzwa; anofanira kutyiwa pamusoro pavamwari vose.
26 Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe; kodwa iNkosi yenza amazulu.
Nokuti vamwari vose vendudzi zvifananidzo, asi Jehovha akasika matenga.
27 Udumo lenkazimulo kuphambi kwayo, amandla lentokozo kusendaweni yayo.
Kubwinya nokukudzwa zviri pamberi pake; simba nomufaro zviri munzvimbo yougaro hwake.
28 Inikeni iNkosi, zizukulwana zezizwe, inikeni iNkosi udumo lamandla.
Ipai kuna Jehovha, imi mhuri dzendudzi, ipai Jehovha kukudzwa nesimba,
29 Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo, lethani umnikelo lize phambi kwayo. Ikhonzeni iNkosi ebuhleni bobungcwele.
ipai Jehovha kukudzwa kunofanira zita rake. Uyai nezvipiriso uye muuye pamberi pake; namatai Jehovha mukubwinya kwoutsvene hwake.
30 Lithuthumele phambi kwayo, mhlaba wonke; njalo umhlaba uzaqiniswa, kawuyikunyikinyeka.
Dederai pamberi pake, imi nyika yose! Nyika yakasimbiswa kwazvo; haingazungunuswi.
31 Kawathokoze amazulu, lomhlaba ujabule, kabatsho phakathi kwezizwe ukuthi: INkosi iyabusa.
Matenga ngaafare, nyika ngaifare; ngavati pakati pendudzi, “Jehovha anotonga!”
32 Kaluhlokome ulwandle lokugcwala kwalo, iganga kalithabe lakho konke okukulo.
Gungwa ngaritinhire nezvose zviri mariri; minda ngaifarisise nezvose zviri mairi.
33 Khona zizahlabelela ngentokozo izihlahla zehlathi phambi kweNkosi, ngoba iyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba.
Ipapo miti yesango ichaimba, ichaimba nomufaro pamberi paJehovha, nokuti anouya kuzotonga nyika.
34 Bongani iNkosi ngoba ilungile, ngoba umusa wayo umi kuze kube phakade.
Vongai Jehovha nokuti akanaka; rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi.
35 Lithi futhi: Sisindise, Nkulunkulu wosindiso lwethu, usibuthe usikhulule ezizweni, ukuze sibonge ibizo lakho elingcwele, sizincome kudumo lwakho.
Danidzirai muchiti, “Tiponesei, imi Mwari Muponesi wedu; tiunganidzei uye mutirwire pandudzi, kuti tigovonga zita renyu dzvene kuti tifarisise mukukurumbidzai.”
36 Kayibusiswe iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade. Bonke abantu basebesithi: Ameni. Basebeyidumisa iNkosi.
Rumbidzai Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira pakusingaperi. Ipapo vanhu vose vakati, “Ameni” uye vakarumbidza Jehovha.
37 Wasetshiya lapho phambi komtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi oAsafi labafowabo ukukhonza phambi komtshokotsho njalonjalo njengodaba losuku ngosuku lwalo.
Dhavhidhi akasiya Asafi navamwe vake pamberi peareka yesungano yaJehovha kuti ashumirepo nguva dzose maererano nezvaidiwa zuva rimwe nerimwe.
38 LoObedi-Edoma kanye labafowabo, abangamatshumi ayisithupha lesificaminwembili; uObedi-Edoma indodana kaJeduthuni loHosa babengabagcini bamasango.
Akasiya Obhedhi-Edhomu navamwe vake makumi matanhatu navasere kuti vashumire navo. Obhedhi-Edhomu mwanakomana waJedhutuni naHosa vaiva vatariri vamasuo.
39 LoZadoki umpristi labafowabo abapristi phambi kwethabhanekele leNkosi endaweni ephakemeyo eyayiseGibeyoni,
Dhavhidhi akasiya Zadhoki muprista navamwe vaprista pamberi petabhenakeri yaJehovha panzvimbo yakakwirira muGibheoni
40 ukuze banikele iminikelo yokutshiswa eNkosini phezu kwelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa njalonjalo ekuseni lakusihlwa, lanjengakho konke okubhaliweyo emlayweni weNkosi, eyawulaya uIsrayeli.
kuti vape zvipiriso zvinopiswa, kuna Jehovha paaritari yezvipiriso zvinopiswa, nguva dzose, mangwanani namanheru maererano nezvose zvakanga zvakanyorwa muMurayiro waJehovha waakanga apa Israeri.
41 Njalo kanye labo oHemani loJeduthuni labanye ababekhethiwe abamiswa ngamabizo ukubonga iNkosi, ngoba umusa wayo umi kuze kube phakade.
Pakati pavo paiva naHemani naJedhutuni navamwe vose vaiva vakasarudzwa namazita kuti vavonge Jehovha, “Nokuti rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi.”
42 Njalo kanye labo oHemani loJeduthuni babelezimpondo lezinsimbi ezincencethayo zalabo abazizwakalisayo, lezinto zokuhlabelela zikaNkulunkulu. Lamadodana kaJeduthuni ayesesangweni.
Hemani naJedhutuni vaiva nebasa rokuridza hwamanda namakandira uye nokuridza zvimwe zviridzwa parwiyo rutsvene. Vanakomana vaJedhutuni vakaitwa vatariri vamasuo.
43 Basebehamba bonke abantu, ngulowo lalowo waya endlini yakhe. UDavida wasebuyela ukubusisa indlu yakhe.
Ipapo vanhu vose vakabvapo, mumwe nomumwe akaenda kumba kwake, uye Dhavhidhi akadzokera kumba kwake kundoropafadza mhuri yake.
