4Kubo amashumi amabini anesine amawaka aza kuqhubeka nomsebenzi wendlu kaYehova; amawaka amathandathu ngabaphathi nabagwebi;

5Ngaphezu koko, babengamawaka amane abagcini-masango; bobane mabadumise uYehova ngeempahla endazenzayo, watsho uDavide, ukuba babadumise.

6uDavide wabahlula bazizigaba ngokoonyana bakaLevi, yanguGershon, noKehati, noMerari.

13Oonyana baka-Amram nguAsheri; uAron, noMoses, noAron, banyulwa ukuba bazingcwalise izinto ezingcwele, kude kuse ephakadeni, yena noonyana bakhe, baqhumisele ngesiqhumiso phambi koYehova, balungiselele kuye, basikelele egameni lakhe kude kuse ephakadeni.

14Ngokuphathelele uMoses, umfo wakwaThixo, oonyana bakhe babizwa kwisizwe sakwaLevi.

15Oonyana bakaMoses yayinguGershom noEliyezere.

16Koonyana bakaGershom yayinguShebhuele intloko.

22Wafa uElazare engenanyana, eneentombi zodwa; bababamba abazalwana babo, oonyana bakaKishe.

23Oonyana bakaMushi; uMageli, noEdere, noYeremoti, bebathathu.

24Ngabo abo oonyana bakaLevi ngokwezindlu zooyise; neentloko zezindlu zooyise ngenani lamagama, ngokwamagama abo, besenza inkonzo yendlu kaYehova, bethabathela kominyaka imashumi mabini ezelwe, banyuse.

25Ngokuba wathi uDavide, uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ubaphumzile abantu bakhe, ukuze bahlale eYerusalem kude kuse ephakadeni.

26NakubaLevi; bangabi sawuthwala umnquba, neempahla zawo zenkonzo.

27Ngokuba ngokwamazwi kaDavide okugqibela, abaLevi babalwa, kwathabathela kwabaminyaka imashumi mabini bezelwe, kwenyusa.

28Kuba umsebenzi wabo yayikukukhonza oonyana baka-Aron enkonzweni yendlu kaYehova, ezintendelezweni nasemagumbini okudlela, nokuhlambulula zonke izinto ezingcwele nomsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaThixo oyinyaniso:

29nezonka ezingenagwele, nezonka ezingenagwele, nezonka ezingenagwele, nezonka ezingenagwele, nezonka ezingenagwele, nezonka ezigcadiweyo, nezilinganiso, nesayizi;

30Vukani imiso ngemiso, nidumise, nidumise uYehova, kwangokunjalo ngokuhlwa;

31nowokunyusa onke amadini anyukayo kuYehova ngeesabatha, nasekuthwaseni kwenyanga, nangamaxesha emithendeleko, ngokwenani, ngokomthetho abewuwiselwe umthetho, amaxesha onke phambi koYehova.

32Yaye babenyamekela inkonzo yentente yokuhlangana nenkonzo yengcwele nenkonzo yoonyana baka-Aron, abazalwana babo, enkonzweni yendlu kaYehova.
