23 Sazila ukudla ke, samkhunga ngenxa yoko uThixo wethu, wathandazeka sithi.
24 Ndahlula kubathetheli bababingeleli ishumi elinababini, ngaphandle koSherebhiya, noHashabhiya, neshumi labazalwana babo;
25 ndayilinganisela kubo isilivere, negolide, nempahla, umrhumo wendlu kaThixo wethu, abawurhumayo ukumkani, namaphakathi akhe, nabathetheli bakhe, namaSirayeli onke awayekho apho.
26 Ndalinganisela esandleni sabo amakhulu amathandathu anamanci mahlanu eetalente zesilivere,* nekhulu leetalente zeempahla zesilivere, nekhulu leetalente zegolide;*
27 namashumi amabini eendebe zegolide ziliwaka leedarike,* neempahla ezimbini zobhedu olubengezela kakuhle, zinqweneleka njengegolide.
28 Ndathi kubo, Ningcwele kuYehova, iimpahla zingcwele; negolide nesilivere zingumnikelo wabaqhutywa yintliziyo, kuYehova, uThixo wooyihlo;
29 phaphani, nizigcine, nide nizilinganisele phambi kwabathetheli bababingeleli, nabaLevi, nabathetheli bezindlu zooyise zamaSirayeli, eYerusalem, emagumbini endlu kaYehova.
