| 3. | Yena, ngomnyaka wokuqala wobukumkani bakhe, ngenyanga yokuqala, wazivula iingcango zendlu kaYehova, wazilungisa. |
| 4. | Wabangenisa ababingeleli nabaLevi, wabahlanganisela ebaleni langasempumalanga, wathi kubo, |
| 5. | Ndiphulaphuleni, baLevi; zingcwaliseni kaloku; yingcwaliseni indlu kaYehova, uThixo wooyihlo, nikukhuphe ukungcola okusendaweni engcwele. |
| 6. | Ngokuba oobawo benza ubumenemene, benza okubi emehlweni kaYehova uThixo wethu, bamshiya, babusonga ubuso babo emnqubeni kaYehova, bawunikela ikhosi; |
| 7. | kananjalo bazivala iingcango zevaranda, bazicima izibane, abaqhumisela ngesiqhumiso, abawanyusa amadini anyukayo engcweleni kuThixo kaSirayeli. |

| 10. | Ngoku ke kusentliziyweni yam ukumenzela umnqophiso uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli, kubuye kuthi ukuvutha komsindo wakhe. |
| 11. | Nyana bam, kungokunje musani ukuhiliza; ngokuba uYehova uninyule, ukuze nime phambi kwakhe, nilungiselele kuye, nibe ngabalungiseleli nabaqhumiseli kuye. |
| 12. | Basuka ke abaLevi, ooMahati unyana ka-Amasayi, noYoweli unyana ka-Azariya, koonyana bamaKohati; nakoonyana bakaMerari, uKishe unyana ka-Abhedi, noAzariya unyana kaYehaleleli; nakumaGershon, uYowa unyana kaZima, noEden unyana kaYowa; |
| 13. | koonyana bakaElitsafan, uShimri noYehiyeli; nakoonyana baka-Asafu, uZekariya noMataniya; |
| 14. | nakoonyana bakaHeman, uYehiyeli noShimehi; koonyana bakaYedutun, uShemaya noUziyeli. |
| 15. | Babahlanganisa ke abazalwana babo, bazingcwalisa, bangena ngokomthetho wokumkani ngamazwi kaYehova, ukuyihlambulula indlu kaYehova. |
| 16. | Bangena phakathi kwendlu kaThixo ababingeleli, ukuze bayihlambulule; bayikhupha yonke into eyinqambi abayifumanayo etempileni kaYehova, bayisa entendelezweni yendlu kaYehova. AbaLevi bayithabatha, ukuze bayikhuphele phandle, bayise emlanjaneni oyiKidron. |
| 17. | Baqala ukungcwalisa ngomhla wokuqala, ngenyanga yokuqala; ngomhla wesibhozo wenyanga leyo bafika evarandeni kaYehova. Bayingcwalisa ke indlu kaYehova imihla esibhozo, bagqiba ngomhla weshumi elinesithandathu wenyanga yokuqala. |
| 18. | Bangena baya kuHezekiya ukumkani, bathi, Siyihlambulule indlu yonke kaYehova, nesibingelelo sedini elinyukayo, neempahla zaso zonke, netafile yezonka ezicwangciswayo, neempahla zayo zonke. |
| 19. | Neempahla zonke awazilahlayo uAhazi, ngexa lokulawula kwakhe ngokwenza ubumenemene, sizilungisile sazingcwalisa; nanzo ziphambi kwesibingelelo sikaYehova. |
| 20. | Wavuka kusasa uHezekiya ukumkani, wabahlanganisa abathetheli bawo umzi; wenyuka waya endlwini kaYehova. |
| 21. | Bazisa iinkunzi ezintsha zeenkomo zasixhenxe, neenkunzi zeegusha zasixhenxe, neemvana zasixhenxe, neenkunzi zeebhokhwe zasixhenxe, ukuba zibe lidini lesono ngenxa yobukumkani, nangenxa yendawo engcwele, nangenxa yamaYuda. Wathi koonyana baka-Aron, ababingeleli, mabenze amadini anyukayo esibingelelweni sikaYehova. |
| 22. | Bazixhela iinkomo, ababingeleli balamkela igazi, balitshiza esibingelelweni; bazixhela iinkunzi zeegusha, balitshiza igazi esibingelelweni; bazixhela iimvana, balitshiza igazi esibingelelweni. |
| 23. | Bazizisa iinkunzi zeebhokhwe zedini lesono phambi kokumkani nebandla, bacinezela ngezandla zabo phezu kwazo; |
| 24. | bazixhela ababingeleli, ukuba bawacamagushele amaSirayeli onke, ngokulenza nyulu igazi lazo esibingelelweni; ngokuba ukumkani ebethe makenzelwe onke amaSirayeli idini elinyukayo nedini lesono. |
| 25. | Wabamisa abaLevi endlwini kaYehova, benamacangci, benemirhubhe, beneehadi, ngokomthetho kaDavide, noGadi imboni yokumkani, noNatan umprofeti; ngokuba loo mthetho ubungokaYehova ngabaprofeti bakhe. |
| 26. | Bema abaLevi benempahla kaDavide, ababingeleli benamaxilongo. |
| 27. | Wathi uHezekiya, makunyuswe idini elinyukayo esibingelelweni. Lithe lakuqalwa idini elinyukayo, yaqala ingoma kaYehova namaxilongo, ngokokuhlabela kweempahla zikaDavide ukumkani wakwaSirayeli. |
| 28. | Lonke ibandla laqubuda, iimvumi zivuma, abavutheli-maxilongo bevuthela; oko konke kwenziwa lada lagqitywa idini elinyukayo. |
| 29. | Kwakugqitywa ukunyuswa idini elinyukayo, ukumkani nabo bonke abafumaneka benaye, baguqa baqubuda. |
| 30. | Bathi ooHezekiya ukumkani nabathetheli, mabamdumise uYehova abaLevi ngamazwi kaDavide naka-Asafu imboni. Bamdumisa ke bada bavuya; bathoba, baqubuda. |
| 31. | Waphendula uHezekiya wathi, Kungokunje nizingcwalisile kuYehova; yizani, nizise imibingelelo neyombulelo endlwini kaYehova. Layizisa ke ibandla imibingelelo neyombulelo; bonke ababeqhutywa yintliziyo, bazisa amadini anyukayo. |
| 32. | Inani lamadini anyukayo elawazisayo ibandla, lalingamashumi asixhenxe eenkomo, nekhulu leenkunzi zeegusha, namakhulu amabini eemvana. Ezo zonke zaba zezedini elinyukayo kuYehova. |
| 33. | Ezingcwalisiweyo iinkomo zaba ngamakhulu amathandathu, namawaka amathathu empahla emfutshane. |
| 34. | Kodwa ababingeleli babembalwa, ababa nakuwahlinza onke amadini anyukayo; bababambisa ke abazalwana babo abaLevi, wada wagqitywa loo msebenzi, bada bazingcwalisa ababingeleli; ngokuba abaLevi babethe tye ngentliziyo ukuzingcwalisa, kunababingeleli. |
| 35. | Kananjalo amadini anyukayo aba maninzi, enamanqatha emibingelelo yoxolo, neminikelo ethululwayo yawo amadini anyukayo; yaqiniselwa ke inkonzo yendlu kaYehova. |
| 36. | Ke uHezekiya nabantu bonke bakuvuyela oko uThixo akuqinisele abantu; ngokuba le nto yenziwa ngesiquphe. |
