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, àbaqhumisela ngesiqhumiso, àbawanyusa amadini anyukayo engcweleni kuThixo kaSirayeli.
8 Ngoko ke àfikelwa amaYuda neYerusalem buburhalarhume bukaYehova, wawanikela aba yinto yokufeketha, neyokumangalisa, neyomsondlo, njengoko nikubonayo ngamehlo enu.
9 Yabona, bawile oobawo likrele; oonyana bethu neentombi zethu nabafazi bethu basekuthinjweni ngenxa yoko.
