1Laba bangabapristi namaLevi abenyuka noZerubabele indodana kaSheyalitiyeli noJeshuwa: uSeraya, noJeremiya, no-Ezra,

8AmaLevi: ngoJeshuwa, noBhinuwi, noKadimiyeli, noSherebiya, noJuda, noMathaniya, ababephethe ukubonga, yena nabafowabo.
9NoBakibhukiya no-Uni, abafowabo, babebhekene nabo begada.
10UJesuwa wazala uJehoyakimi, uJehoyakimi wazala uEliyashibi, uEliyashibi wazala uJehoyada;
11UJehoyada wazala uJonathani noJonathani eJaduwa.
12Emihleni kaJehoyakimi kwakukhona abapristi, izinhloko zawoyise: okaSeraya, nguMeraya; kuJeremiya: uHananiya;
13ku-Ezra, uMeshulamu; kwa-Amarija: nguJohanani;

20kwaSalayi, uKalayi; kwa-Amoki, u-Ebere;

22AmaLevi emihleni ka-Eliyashibi, noJehoyada, noJohanani, noJaduwa babhalwa njengezinhloko zezindlu zawoyise, nabapristi, kwaze kwaba sekubuseni kukaDariyu umPheresiya.
23Amadodana kaLevi, izinhloko zawoyise, alotshiwe eNcwadini yeziKronike kwaze kwaba semihleni kaJohanani indodana ka-Eliyashibi.
24Izikhulu zamaLevi zaziyizi: oHashabiya, noSherebiya, noJeshuwa, indodana kaKadimiyeli, nabafowabo maqondana nabo, ukuba badumise, badumise njengomyalo kaDavide, umuntu kaNkulunkulu, omunye komunye.
25OMathaniya, noBakibukiya, no-Obadiya, noMeshulamu, noThalimoni, no-Akubi babengabagcini bamasango, begcina abalindi eminyango yamasango.
26Kwakusezinsukwini zikaJehoyakimi indodana kaJeshuwa kaJosadaki nasemihleni kaNehemiya umbusi no-Ezra umpristi umbhali.
27Ekwehlukaniselweni kogange lwaseJerusalema afuna amaLevi ezindaweni zawo zonke ukuba awalethe eJerusalema, ukugubha ukuhlanjululwa ngenjabulo, nangokubonga nangokuhlabelela, namasimbali, namahabhu, nangezinsimbi.
28Amadodana abahlabeleli abuthana ethafeni elizungeza iJerusalema nasemizini yaseNethofati;
29nasendlini yaseGiligali nasensimini yaseGeba nase-Asmaweti; ngoba abahlabeleli bazakhela imizi nxazonke zeJerusalema.
30Abapristi namaLevi bazihlambulula, nabantu, namasango, nogange.
31Ngase ngikhuphulela umduli izikhulu zakwaJuda, ngamisa izixuku ezimbili ezinkulu zezingoma, esinye sazo esangena kwesokudla sogange kuze kube seSangweni Lomquba.
32Ngemva kwabo kwaphuma uHoshaya nengxenye yezikhulu zakwaJuda.
33No-Azariya, no-Ezra, noMeshulamu,
34oJuda noBenjamini noShemaya noJeremiya,
35Abanye emadodaneni abapristi bephethe amacilongo; uZakariya indodana kaJonathani indodana kaShemaya indodana kaMathaniya indodana kaMikaya indodana kaSaguri indodana ka-Asafa;
36Abafowabo, oShemaya, no-Asareli, noMilalayi, noGilalayi, noMahayi, noNethaneli, noJuda, noHanani, benezinsimbi zokubethwa zikaDavide umuntu kaNkulunkulu, no-Ezra, umbhali, phambi kwabo.
37ESangweni Lomthombo elibhekene nabo, bakhuphuka ngezitebhisi zoMzi kaDavide emqashweni wogange phezu kwendlu kaDavide, besiya eSangweni Lamanzi ngasempumalanga.
38Esinye isixuku sezihlabelelo sahamba malungana nabo, mina ngemva kwabo nengxenye yabantu esodongeni, kusukela ngale kombhoshongo weziko kuze kufike odongeni olubanzi;
39naphezu kweSango lakwa-Efrayimi, naphezu kweSango Elidala, naphezu kweSango Lezinhlanzi, naphezu kombhoshongo kaHananeli, naseMbhoshongweni waseMehagi, kuze kube seSangweni Lezimvu; bema esangweni letilongo.
40Ngakho izixuku ezimbili zezihlabelelo zema endlini kaNkulunkulu, mina nengxenye yababusi kanye nami.
41Abapristi; o-Eliyakimi, noMahaseya, noMiniyamini, noMigaya, no-Eliyohenayi, noZakariya, noHananiya, benamacilongo;
42noMahaseya, noShemiya, no-Eleyazare, no-Uzi, noJohanani, noMalikhiya, no-Elamu, no-Ezeri. Futhi abahlabeleli bahlabelela phezulu, kanye noJísraja, umnakekeli wabo.
43Basebesenza imihlatshelo emikhulu ngalolosuku, bathokoza, ngoba uNkulunkulu wabenza ngentokozo enkulu; abesifazane nabantwana bathokoza, kwaze kwazwakala ukuthokoza kweJerusalema kude.
44Ngaleso sikhathi kwamiswa abathile ukuba babe ngabaphathi bamakamelo engcebo, neminikelo, nolibo nokweshumi, ukuze kuqoqwe emasimini emizi izabelo zomthetho zabapristi namaLevi ezikuyo; UJuda wajabula ngabapristi namaLevi ababelindile.
45Abahlabeleli nabalindisango bagcina umlindo kaNkulunkulu wabo nomlindo wokuhlanjululwa ngokomyalo kaDavide noSolomoni indodana yakhe.
46Ngokuba ezinsukwini zikaDavide no-Asafa zasendulo kwakukhona abaholi babahlabeleli, nezingoma zokudumisa nokubonga, kube inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu.
47Wonke u-Israyeli emihleni kaZerubabele nangezinsuku zikaNehemiya wayenika izabelo zabahlabeleli nabalindisango, usuku ngalunye isabelo salo; bazingcwelisela amaLevi izipho ezingcwele; amaLevi angcwelisela amadodana ka-Aroni.
