Eyokuqala EyemiLando 24:1-31
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.
