28 Ngasengisithi kibo: Lingcwele eNkosini, lezitsha zingcwele; lesiliva legolide kungumnikelo wesihle eNkosini, uNkulunkulu wabobaba.

καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτούς ὑμεῖς ἅγιοι τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἅγια καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον ἑκούσια τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ πατέρων ὑμῶν

29 Kulondolozeni likugcine lize likulinganise phambi kwenduna yabapristi lamaLevi lenhloko zaboyise bakoIsrayeli eJerusalema, emakamelweni endlu yeNkosi.

ἀγρυπνεῖτε καὶ τηρεῖτε ἕως στῆτε ἐνώπιον ἀρχόντων τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν πατριῶν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ εἰς σκηνὰς οἴκου κυρίου

καὶ ἐξήραμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ Αουε ἐν τῇ δωδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ χεὶρ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἦν ἐφ’ ἡμῖν καὶ ἐρρύσατο ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ χειρὸς ἐχθροῦ καὶ πολεμίου ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ

32 Safika-ke eJerusalema, sahlala khona insuku ezintathu.

καὶ ἤλθομεν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐκαθίσαμεν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς

33 Kwathi ngosuku lwesine isiliva legolide lezitsha kwalinganiswa endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu ngesandla sikaMeremothi indodana kaUriya umpristi, njalo kanye laye uEleyazare indodana kaPhinehasi, njalo kanye labo oJozabadi indodana kaJeshuwa, loNowadiya indodana kaBinuwi, amaLevi,
