8 Ngoku ke nithi niya komelela phambi kobukumkani bukaYehova, obusesandleni soonyana bakaDavide; niyingxokolo eninzi nje, ninamathole egolide, awanenzelayo uYarobheham ukuba abe ngoothixo.
9 Anibagxothanga yini na ababingeleli bakaYehova, oonyana baka-Aron, nabaLevi; nazenzela ababingeleli njengezizwe zamanye amazwe? bada bonke abo baza kuzimisela ngenkunzi elithole lenkomo, neenkunzi zeegusha ezisixhenxe, benziwa ababingeleli kwabangethixo.
10 Ke thina, nguYehova uThixo wethu: asimshiyanga; ababingeleli abalungiselela kuYehova ngoonyana baka-Aron;
11 nabaLevi basemsebenzini wabo, beqhumisela kuYehova ngamadini anyukayo imisó ngemisó, ukuhlwa ngokuhlwa, nangesiqhumiso esimnandi; nokucwangcisa izonka etafileni ehlambululekileyo; nesiphatho segolide, nezibane sazo zilunyekwa ukuhlwa ngokuhlwa; ngokuba thina siyasigcina isigxina sikaYehova uThixo wethu; ke nina nimshiyile.
12 Niyabona, unathi eyintloko uThixo, nababingeleli bakhe banathi, namaxilongo okuduma, ukuba anivuse. Nyana bakaSirayeli, musani ukulwa noYehova uThixo wooyihlo; ngokuba aniyi kuba nampumelelo.
13 Ke uYarobheham wazungulezisa abalaleli, ukuba baye ngasemva kwawo; baba ngaphambi kwamaYuda bona; abalaleli baba ngasemva kwawo.
14 Abheka amaYuda, ayibona impi ingaphambili nangasemva kwawo. Akhala kuYehova, ababingeleli bevuthela amaxilongo; aduma onke amadoda akwa Yuda.
