| 2. | Wabamisa ababingeleli phezu kwezigxina zabo, wabomelezela enkonzweni yabo yendlu kaYehova. |
| 3. | Wathi kubaLevi ababeqondisa onke amaSirayeli, ababengcwele kuYehova, Yibekeni ityeya engcwele endlwini, awayakhayo uSolomon unyana kaDavide; ukumkani wakwaSirayeli; aniyi kuyithwala emagxeni. Mkhonzeni kaloku uYehova uThixo wenu, nabantu bakhe amaSirayeli. |
| 4. | Zilungiseni ngokwezindlu zooyihlo, ngokwamaqela enu, ngokwesibhalo sikaDavide ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, nangokwesibhalo sikaSolomon unyana wakhe; |
| 5. | nithi engcweleni nimele izahlulo zezindlu zooyise zabazalwana benu, oonyana babantu, iqela eli labaLevi limele indlu enye yooyise. |
| 6. | Nize niyixhele ipasika, nizingcwalise, niyilungisele abazalwana benu, kwenziwe ngokwelizwi likaYehova ngesandla sikaMoses. |
| 7. | UYosiya wabarhumela oonyana babantu, bonke abafunyanwayo khona, impahla emfutshane, iimvana, namatakane eebhokhwe, onke lawo angawepasika, engamawaka amashumi mathathu inani; namawaka amathathu eenkomo. Konke oko kwaphuma kwimfuyo yokumkani. |

| 11. | Bayixhela ipasika; ababingeleli bathabatha igazi ezandleni zabo, balitshiza, abaLevi bahlinza. |
| 12. | Bakususa okwamadini anyukayo, ukuba kunikelwe kwizahlulo zezindlu zooyise zoonyana babantu, kusondezwe kuYehova, njengoko kubhaliweyo encwadini kaMoses. Benjenjalo nangeenkomo. |
| 13. | Bayosa ipasika ngomlilo ngokwesiko; izinto ezingcwalisiweyo bazipheka ngeembiza, nangongxawu, nangeepani, bagidimisa koonyana bonke babantu. |
| 14. | Emveni koko bazilungisela ngokwabo kwanababingeleli ngokuba ababingeleli, oonyana baka-Aron, babenyusa amadini anyukayo namaqatha, kude kube sebusuku. Ke abaLevi bazilungisela ngokwabo kwanababingeleli, oonyana baka-Aron. |
| 15. | Iimvumi, oonyana baka-Asafu, zibe zisezindaweni zazo ngokomthetho kaDavide, noAsafu, noHeman, noYedutun imboni yokumkani; nabamasango emasangweni ngamasango babengesuki enkonzweni yabo; ngokuba abazalwana babo abaLevi babebalungisela. |
| 16. | Yalungiswa ke yonke inkonzo kaYehova, ngaloo mini yokwenza ipasika, nokunyusa amadini anyukayo esibingelelweni sikaYehova, ngokomthetho wokumkani uYosiya. |
| 17. | Oonyana bakaSirayeli ababekho bayenza ipasika ngelo xesha, nomthendeleko wezonka ezingenagwele, imihla esixhenxe. |
| 18. | Bekungazanga kwenziwe pasika ngokwaleyo kwaSirayeli, kususela kwimihla kaSamuweli umprofeti. Ookumkani bonke bakwaSirayeli abazanga benze pasika, ngokwaloo pasika wayenzayo uYosiya, nababingeleli, nabaLevi, nawo onke amaYuda namaSirayeli abekhona, nabemi baseYerusalem. |
| 19. | Kwaba ngomnyaka weshumi elinesibhozo wobukumkani bukaYosiya, ukwenziwa kwaloo pasika. |
| 20. | Emveni kwako konke ukuyilungisa kukaYosiya indlu leyo, kwenyuka uNeko, ukumkani waseYiputa, eza kulwa neKarkemishe ngase-Efrati; uYosiya waphuma, waya kulwa naye. |
| 21. | Wathuma abathunywa kuye, wathi, Yintoni na enam nawe, kumkani wakwaYuda? Andize kulwa nawe namhla; ndize endlwini endilwa nayo; uThixo uthe mandikhawulezise; mkhwelele uThixo onam, angakutshabalalisi. |
| 22. | Ke uYosiya akabusonganga ubuso bakhe kuye; wazenza mntu wumbi, ukuba alwe naye; akawaphulaphula amazwi kaNeko, aphuma emlonyeni kaThixo; weza kulwa esihlanjeni saseMegido. |
| 23. | Abatoli bamtola ukumkani uYosiya; wathi ukumkani kubakhonzi bakhe, Ndishenxiseni, ngokuba ndingxwelerhwe kakubi. |
| 24. | Abakhonzi bakhe bamthula enqwelweni, bamkhwelisa kweyesibini inqwelo abenayo, bamsa eYerusalem; wafa, wangcwatyelwa emangcwabeni ooyise. Onke amaYuda neYerusalem amenzela isijwili uYosiya. |
| 25. | UYeremiya wamenzela isimbonono uYosiya; zathetha zonke iimvumi neemvumikazi ezimbononweni zazo ngoYosiya, unanamhla. Bazenza ummiselo kwaSirayeli; nanzo zibhaliwe ezimbononweni. |
| 26. | Ezinye izinto zikaYosiya, nokwenza kwakhe inceba, njengoko kubhaliweyo emyalelweni kaYehova, |
| 27. | nezinto zakhe ezokuqala nezokugqibela, nanzo zibhaliwe encwadini yookumkani bakwaSirayeli nabakwaYuda. |
