Eyokuqala EyemiLando
24 Izizukulwane zika-Aroni zazehlukwaniswe zaba ngamaqembu. Amadodana ka-Aroni kwakunguNadabi, lo-Abhihu,+ lo-Eliyazari, lo-Ithamari.+ 2 UNadabi lo-Abhihu bafa uyise esaphila+ futhi babengelamadodana. Kodwa u-Eliyazari+ lo-Ithamari baqhubeka bengabaphristi. 3 UDavida loZadokhi+ owayeyisizukulwane sika-Eliyazari lo-Ahimeleki owayeyisizukulwane sika-Ithamari, behlukanisa izizukulwane zika-Aroni zaba ngamaqembu ukuze zenze imisebenzi yazo. 4 Njengoba amadodana ka-Eliyazari ayelabakhokheli abanengi kulamadodana ka-Ithamari, babehlukanisa abakhokheli laba. Amadodana ka-Eliyazari aba labakhokheli abangu-16 bezindlu zaboyise, amadodana ka-Ithamari wona aba labakhokheli abangu-8 bezindlu zaboyise.
5 Baphinda behlukanisa amadodana ka-Eliyazari lamadodana ka-Ithamari besebenzisa inkatho,+ ngoba emaqenjini la womabili kwakulezinduna zendawo engcwele lezinduna zikaNkulunkulu weqiniso. 6 Ngemva kwalokho uShemaya indodana kaNethaneli unobhala wamaLevi, wabhala phansi amabizo abo phambi kwenkosi, leziphathamandla, loZadokhi+ umphristi, lo-Ahimeleki+ indodana ka-Abhiyatha,+ labakhokheli bezimuli zabaphristi, labakhokheli bezimuli zamaLevi. Kwakukhethwa imuli eyodwa ku-Eliyazari, kukhethwe eyodwa ku-Ithamari.
7 Inkatho yokuqala yadla uJehoyaribhi, eyesibili yadla uJedaya, 8 eyesithathu yadla uHarimi, eyesine yadla uSeworimi, 9 eyesihlanu yadla uMalikhija, eyesithupha yadla uMijamini, 10 eyesikhombisa yadla uHakhozi, eyesi-8 yadla u-Abhija,+ 11 eyesi-9 yadla uJeshuwa, eyesi-10 yadla uShekhaniya, 12 eyesi-11 yadla u-Eliyashibhi, eyesi-12 yadla uJakhimu, 13 eyesi-13 yadla uHupha, eyesi-14 yadla uJeshebheyabi, 14 eyesi-15 yadla uBhiliga, eyesi-16 yadla u-Imeri, 15 eyesi-17 yadla uHeziri, eyesi-18 yadla uHaphizezi, 16 eyesi-19 yadla uPhethahiya, eyesi-20 yadla uJehezikheli, 17 eyesi-21 yadla uJakhini, eyesi-22 yadla uGamuli, 18 eyesi-23 yadla uDelaya, eyesi-24 yadla uMahaziya.
19 Le yiyo indlela ababehlelwe ngayo ukuze benze imisebenzi yabo+ endlini kaJehova, belandela lokho okwakuhlelwe ngukhokho wabo u-Aroni, njengoba nje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wayemtshelile.
20 Amanye amaLevi kwakuyilawa: Emadodaneni ka-Amramu+ kwakuloShubhayeli,+ emadodaneni kaShubhayeli kuloJehideya, 21 emadodaneni kaRehabhiya+ kulo-Ishiya umkhokheli. 22 Kuma-Izihari kwakuloShelomothi,+ emadodaneni kaShelomothi kuloJahathi, 23 emadodaneni kaHebroni kuloJeriya+ owayengumkhokheli. Indodana kaHebroni eyesibili kwakungu-Amariya, eyesithathu kunguJahaziyeli, eyesine kunguJekhameyamu. 24 Emadodaneni ka-Uziyeli kwakuloMikha, emadodaneni kaMikha kuloShamiri. 25 Umfowabo kaMikha kwakungu-Ishiya, emadodaneni ka-Ishiya kwakuloZakhariya.
26 Amadodana kaMerari+ kwakunguMahili loMushi. Emadodaneni kaJaziya kwakuloBheno. 27 Izizukulwane zikaMerari kwakuyilezi: KuJaziya kwakuloBheno, loShohama, loZakhuri, lo-Ibhiri. 28 KuMahili kwakulo-Eliyazari kodwa yena kazange abe lamadodana.+ 29 Emadodaneni kaKhishi kwakuloJerameli, 30 futhi amadodana kaMushi kwakunguMahili lo-Ederi loJerimothi.
La kwakungamadodana kaLevi ngezimuli zaboyise. 31 AmaLevi enza njengabafowabo amadodana ka-Aroni, aphosa inkatho+ phambi kweNkosi uDavida, loZadokhi, lo-Ahimeleki labakhokheli bezimuli zabaphristi lezamaLevi. Ezimulini zaboyise umkhokheli wayephathwa njengomncinyane.
