Kenaka Solomoni anasonkhanitsa akuluakulu a Israeli mu Yerusalemu, atsogoleri onse a mafuko ndi akuluakulu a mabanja a Aisraeli, kuti akatenge Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova ku Ziyoni, mzinda wa Davide.
3 Uye varume vose veIsraeri vakauya pamwe chete kuna mambo panguva yomutambo mumwedzi wechinomwe.
Ndipo Aisraeli onse anasonkhana pamaso pa mfumu nthawi ya chikondwerero cha mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri.
4 Vakuru vose vaIsraeri pavakasvika, vaRevhi vakasimudza areka,
Akuluakulu onse a Israeli atafika, Alevi ananyamula Bokosi la Chipangano,
5 uye vakauyisa areka neTende Rokusangana nemidziyo inoyera yaivamo. Vaprista ava vaiva vaRevhi vakazvitakura vakakwira nazvo;

ndipo Mfumu Solomoni ndi gulu lonse la Aisraeli amene anasonkhana naye anali patsogolo pa Bokosi la Chipangano, akupereka nsembe nkhosa zambiri ndi ngʼombe zambiri zosawerengeka.
7 Ipapo vaprista vakauya neareka yesungano yaJehovha panzvimbo yayo munzira tsvene yomukati metemberi, muNzvimbo Tsvene-tsvene vakaiisa pasi pemapapiro emakerubhi.
Ansembe anafika nalo Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova mʼchipinda chamʼkati mwenimweni, Malo Opatulika Kwambiri, ndipo analiyika pansi pa mapiko a Akerubi.
8 Makerubhi akanga akatambanudza mapapiro awo pamusoro penzvimbo yeareka uye akanga akafukidza areka namatanda ayo okutakurisa.

10 Muareka makanga musina chinhu kunze kwamahwendefa maviri akanga aiswamo naMozisi paHorebhi, Jehovha pavakaita sungano neIsraeri mushure mokunge vabuda muIjipiti.
Mʼbokosimo munalibe kanthu kena kalikonse kupatula miyala iwiri imene Mose anayikamo ku Horebu, kumene Yehova anachita pangano ndi Aisraeli atatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.

Kenaka ansembe anatulukamo mʼMalo Opatulika. Ansembe onse amene anali mʼmenemo anali atadziyeretsa posayangʼaniranso magulu awo ochokera.
12 VaRevhi vose vaiva vaimbi vaiti Asafi, Hemani, Jedhutuni navanakomana vavo nehama dzavo, vakamira kumabvazuva kwearitari vakapfeka micheka yakaisvonaka vachiridza makandira, mitengeranwa nembira. Vakanga vachiteverwa navaprista zana namakumi maviri vairidza hwamanda.
Alevi onse amene anali oyimba: Asafu, Hemani, Yedutuni ndi ana ndiponso abale awo, amayima mbali ya kummawa kwa guwa lansembe atavala zovala zofewa zosalala akuyimba ziwaya zamalipenga, azeze ndi apangwe. Ansembe onse amene amayimba malipenga analipo 120 pamodzi.
13 Varidzi vehwamanda navaimbi vakabatana pamwe chete sevane inzwi rimwe chete, vachirumbidza uye vachivonga Jehovha. Zvichibatana nehwamanda makandira nezvimwe zviridzwa vakasimudzira manzwi avo vachirumbidza Jehovha vakaimba vachiti: “Iye akanaka; rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi.” Ipapo temberi yaJehovha yakafukidzwa negore,
Oyimba malipenga ndi oyimba nyimbo aja amayimba mogwirizana, monga liwu la munthu mmodzi, kutamanda ndi kuyamika Yehova. Mogwirizana ndi malipenga, ziwaya zamalipenga ndi zida zina, anakweza mawu awo motamanda Yehova poyimba kuti, “Yehova ndi wabwino; chikondi chake chikhala mpaka muyaya.” Ndipo Nyumba ya Mulungu wa Yehova inadzaza ndi mtambo,
14 uye vaprista vakatadza kuita basa ravo nokuda kwegore iroro, nokuti kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakanga kwazadza temberi yaMwari.
