1 IziKronike 16

1Bawuletha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu, bawubeka phakathi kwetende uDavide alimisele wona, banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa nangeminikelo yokuthula phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

2Kwathi uDavida eseqedile ukunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yokubonga, wabusisa abantu ebizweni leNkosi.

3Wanika wonke u-Israyeli, owesilisa nowesifazane, kwaba yilowo nalowo iqebelengwane lesinkwa, neqatha lenyama, nendebe yewayini.

4Wamisa abathile kumaLevi ukuba bakhonze phambi komphongolo kaJehova, balobe, badumise, badumise uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

5U-Asafa inhloko, beseceleni kwakhe uZakariya, noJehiyeli, noShemiramoti, noJehiyeli, noMatitja, no-Eliyabe, noBenaya, no-Obede Edomi; noJehiyeli ngamahabhu nezihabhu; u-Asafa wakhalisa amasimbali;

6OBenaya noJahaziyeli, abapristi, benamacilongo njalo phambi komphongolo wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.

7Ngalolo suku uDavide wanikela okokuqala lelihubo lokubonga uJehova esandleni sika-Asafa nabafowabo.

8Dumisani uJehova, nibize igama lakhe, nizazise phakathi kwezizwe izenzo zakhe.

9Hlabelelani kuye, nimhubele, nikhulume ngazo zonke izimangaliso zakhe.

10Zibongeni egameni lakhe elingcwele; mayijabule inhliziyo yabafuna uJehova.

11Funani uJehova namandla akhe, nifune ubuso bakhe njalo.

12Cabangani ngezimangaliso zakhe azenzile, izimangaliso zakhe nezahlulelo zomlomo wakhe;

13Nina nzalo ka-Israyeli, inceku yakhe, bantwana bakaJakobe, abakhethiweyo bakhe!

14UnguJehova uNkulunkulu wethu; izahlulelo zakhe zisemhlabeni wonke.

15Khumbulani njalo isivumelwano sakhe; izwi ayala ngalo ezizukulwaneni eziyinkulungwane;

16nangesivumelwano asenza no-Abrahama, nesifungo sakhe ku-Isaka;

17Wasiqinisa kuJakobe saba ngumthetho naku-Israyeli njengesivumelwano esiphakade;

18wathi: Ngizalinika ilizwe leKhanani, libe yisabelo selifa lenu;

19Lapho nisembalwa, niyingcosana, ningabafokazi phakathi kwabo.

20Bahamba besuka kwesinye isizwe besiya kwesinye, besuka kulo mbuso besiya kwesinye isizwe;

21Akavumelanga muntu ukuba abaphathe kabi; yebo, wakhuza amakhosi ngenxa yawo.

22Wathi: “Ningathinti abagcotshiweyo bami, ningoni abaprofethi bami.”

23Hlabelelani kuJehova, mhlaba wonke! wenza insindiso yakhe yaziwe usuku nosuku.

24Shumayelani inkazimulo yakhe phakathi kwabezizwe; izimangaliso zakhe phakathi kwezizwe zonke.

25Ngokuba mkhulu uJehova, umelwe ukudunyiswa kakhulu; futhi uyesabeka ngaphezu kwabo bonke onkulunkulu.

26Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe, kodwa uJehova wenza izulu.

27Inkazimulo nodumo kuphambi kobuso bakhe; amandla nenjabulo kusendaweni yakho.

28Mnikeni uJehova nina zizukulwane zabantu, mnikeni uJehova inkazimulo namandla.

29Mnikeni uJehova inkazimulo yegama lakhe; wenze umnikelo, uze phambi kwakhe; khonza uJehova ebuhleni bobungcwele.

30Mesabe ubuso bakhe, mhlaba wonke; izwe liyakusimama, linganyakaziswa.

31Malijabule izulu, umhlaba uthokoze, nabantu phakathi kwezizwe mabathi: UJehova uyinkosi.

32Maluhlokome ulwandle nokugcwala kwalo; amasimu mawajabule nakho konke okukuwo.

33Khona imithi yehlathi izathokoza phambi kukaJehova, ngoba uyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba.

34Dumisani uJehova; ngoba muhle; ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade.

35Nithi: ‘Sisindise, Nkulunkulu wensindiso yethu, usiqoqe, usikhulule kwabezizwe, ukuze sidumise igama lakho elingcwele, sidumise ekudumiseni kwakho.

36Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli kuze kube phakade naphakade. Bonke abantu bathi: “Amen,” futhi bamdumisa uJehova.

37Wabashiya lapho phambi komphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova u-Asafa nabafowabo ukuba bakhonze phambi komphongolo njalonjalo, njengokufunekayo usuku ngalunye.

38No-Obede Edomi nabafowabo, bengamashumi ayisithupha nesishiyagalombili; u-Obede Edomi indodana kaJeduthuni noHosa babe ngabalindisango;

39noSadoki, umpristi, nabafowabo, abapristi, phambi kwetabernakele likaJehova endaweni ephakemeyo eyayiseGibeyoni;

40ukuba banikele njalonjalo iminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova ekuseni nakusihlwa e-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa, benze njengakho konke okulotshiweyo emthethweni kaJehova awuyala u-Israyeli;

41kanye nabo oHemani noJeduthuni nabanye abakhethiweyo ababizwa ngamagama ukuba badumise uJehova, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade;

42kanye nabo oHemani noJeduthuni bephethe amacilongo namasimbali abo abawabethayo, nezinto zokubethwa zikaNkulunkulu. Amadodana kaJeduthuni ayengabalindisango.

43Bonke abantu basebesuka, kwaba yilowo nalowo endlini yakhe; uDavida wasebuyela ukubusisa indlu yakhe.
