16 Ngasengithuma kuEliyezeri, kuAriyeli, kuShemaya, lakuElinathani, lakuJaribi, lakuElinathani, lakuNathani, lakuZekhariya, lakuMeshulamu, izinhloko, lakuJoyaribi, lakuElinathani, abaqedisisayo,

22 Ngoba ngaba lenhloni ukucela enkosini ibutho labagadi bamabhiza ukusinceda ezitheni endleleni; ngoba sasiyitshelile inkosi sisithi: Isandla sikaNkulunkulu wethu siphezu kwabo bonke abamdinga kube okuhle, kodwa amandla akhe lolaka lwakhe kuphezu kwabo bonke abamdelayo.

Ko ia naʻa mau ʻaukai ai pea kole ki homau ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni pea naʻa ne talia lelei ʻakimautolu.
24 Ngasengisehlukanisa abalitshumi lambili kunhloko zabapristi, oSherebiya, uHashabhiya, labalitshumi kubafowabo kanye labo.
Pea ne u fili ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua ʻoe kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, ko Selipea, mo Hasapea, mo hona kāinga ʻe toko hongofulu,
25 Ngasengibalinganisela isiliva legolide lezitsha, umnikelo wendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu, inkosi labacebisi bayo leziphathamandla zayo loIsrayeli wonke owayekhona ababekunikele;
Pea naʻaku fakatatau ʻae siliva kiate kinautolu, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi ipu, ʻio, ʻae meʻa foaki ʻoe fale ʻo hotau ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻatu ʻe he tuʻi, mo ʻene kau fakakaukau, pea mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai:
26 ngasengilinganisa esandleni sabo amathalenta esiliva angamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi amahlanu, lamathalenta alikhulu ezitsha zesiliva, lamathalenta egolide alikhulu,
ʻIo, naʻaku fakatatau ki honau nima ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe onongeau mo e nimangofulu, mo e ngaahi ipu siliva ko e taleniti ʻe teau, pea ʻi he koula ko e taleniti ʻe teau;
27 lemiganu yegolide engamatshumi amabili kuze kube zinhlamvu eziyinkulungwane, lezitsha ezimbili zethusi elikhazimulayo elihle eliloyiseka njengegolide.
Mo e ipu luoluo koula foki ʻe uofulu, ʻoe talami ʻe taha afe: mo e ipu ʻe ua ʻoe kapa lelei, ʻo tatau mo e koula hono maʻongoʻonga.
28 Ngasengisithi kibo: Lingcwele eNkosini, lezitsha zingcwele; lesiliva legolide kungumnikelo wesihle eNkosini, uNkulunkulu wabobaba.
Pea ne u pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku māʻoniʻoni ʻakimoutolu kia Sihova; ʻoku māʻoniʻoni mo e ngaahi ipu foki; pea ko e siliva mo e koula ko e meʻa ʻatu loto lelei pe ia kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻetau ngaahi tamai.
29 Kulondolozeni likugcine lize likulinganise phambi kwenduna yabapristi lamaLevi lenhloko zaboyise bakoIsrayeli eJerusalema, emakamelweni endlu yeNkosi.
Ko ia mou leʻohi, mo tauhi ia, kaeʻoua ke toe fakatatau ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau Livai, mo e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻoe ngaahi mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi he ngaahi potu fale ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.”
30 Abapristi lamaLevi basebesemukela isisindo sesiliva legolide lezitsha, ukuze bakuse eJerusalema, endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu.
Pea naʻe pehē pe ʻae maʻu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai hono mamafa ʻoe siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi ipu ke ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema ki he fale ʻo hotau ʻOtua.
31 Sasuka-ke emfuleni iAhava ngolwetshumi lambili lwenyanga yokuqala ukuya eJerusalema. Lesandla sikaNkulunkulu wethu sasiphezu kwethu, wasikhulula esandleni sesitha lomcathami endleleni.
Pea naʻa mau toki hiki mei he vaitafe ʻo ʻAheva ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina, ke ʻalu ki Selūsalema: pea naʻe ʻiate kimautolu ʻae nima ʻo homau ʻOtua, pea naʻa ne taukapoʻi ʻakimautolu mei he nima ʻoe fili, pea mo kinautolu naʻe toitoiʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi he hala.
32 Safika-ke eJerusalema, sahlala khona insuku ezintathu.
Pea naʻa mau hoko ki Selūsalema, pea nofo ki ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu.
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,
Pea ko eni ʻi hono fā ʻoe ʻaho naʻe fakatatau ai ʻae siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi ipu, ʻi he fale ʻo hotau ʻOtua ʻi he nima ʻo Milemoti ko e foha ʻo ʻUlia ko e taulaʻeiki: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo Finiasi; pea naʻe ʻiate kinaua ʻa Sosapati ko e foha ʻo Sesua, mo Noatia ko e foha ʻo Pinui, ko e kau Livai;
34 ngenani ngesisindo sakho konke; laso sonke isisindo sabhalwa ngalesosikhathi.
Naʻe lau ʻae mamafa ʻoe meʻa taki taha kotoa pē: pea naʻe tohi hono mamafa kotoa pē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
35 Abantwana bokuthunjwa ababebuyile ekuthunjweni banikela iminikelo yokutshiswa kuNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, amajongosi alitshumi lambili ngenxa kaIsrayeli wonke, izinqama ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lesithupha, amawundlu angamatshumi ayisikhombisa lesikhombisa, izimpongo ezilitshumi lambili zaba ngumnikelo wesono; konke kwakungumnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini.
Pea ko e ngaahi fānau foki ʻakinautolu naʻe fetuku ke pōpula, ʻaia kuo haʻu mei heʻenau nofo pōpula, naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e fanga pulu ʻe hongofulu ma ua maʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē, mo e sipitangata ʻe hivangofulu ma ono, ko e fanga lami ʻe fitungofulu ma fitu, ko e fanga kosi tangata ʻe hongofulu ma ua ko e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala: ko e meʻa ni kotoa pē ko e feilaulau tutu kia Sihova.
36 Basebenika imithetho yenkosi kuziphathamandla zenkosi lakubabusi nganeno komfula; basekela abantu lendlu kaNkulunkulu.
Pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻae tuʻi ki he kau talafekau ʻae tuʻi mo e kau pule fonua ʻi he kauvai ni ʻoe vaitafe: pea naʻa nau tokoni ki he kakai, mo e fale ʻoe ʻOtua.
