41. nababingeleli, ooEliyakim, noMahaseya, noMinyamin, noMikaya, noEliyohenayi, noZekariya, noHananiya, benamaxilongo;
42. noMahaseya, noShemaya, noEleyazare, noUzi, noYohanan, noMalekiya, noElam, noEzere. Iimvumi zavuma kakhulu, uYezeraya engumphathi wazo.
43. Babingelela ngaloo mini imibingelelo emikhulu, bavuya; ngokuba uThixo ubebavuyisile ngovuyo olukhulu. Kananjalo abafazi nabantwana bavuya; kwavakala ukuvuya kweYerusalem namgama.
44. Ngaloo mini kwamiswa amadoda okuphatha amagumbi okuba ngoovimba bemirhumo, neentlahlela, nezishumi, ukuba zifunjwe kuwo, ngokwemihlaba yemizi, izabelo ezimiselwe ababingeleli nabaLevi ngomyalelo; ngokuba amaYuda abevuya ngababingeleli nangabaLevi abemiyo.
45. Basigcina isigxina sikaThixo wabo, nesigxina sentlambululo; zenjenjalo iimvumi nabamasango, ngokomthetho kaDavide, noSolomon unyana wakhe;
46. ngokuba ngemihla kaDavide, kwakudala, uAsafu ubeyintloko yeemvumi, neyokudumisa uThixo, neyokubulela kuye.
