25  Na Rawiri hoki, ratou ko nga rangatira ope, i wehe mo te mahi etahi o nga tama a Ahapa, a Hemana, a Ierutunu, hei poropiti i runga i te hapa, i te hatere, i te himipora. Na, ko te tokomaha o nga kaimahi, me ta ratou mahi koia tenei:

No nga tama a Ahapa, ko Takuru, ko Hohepa, ko Netania, ko Atarera; ko te kaiwhakamahi mo nga tama a Ahapa, ko Ahapa; rite tahi ki ta te kingi tikanga tana poropiti.

Ko a Ierutunu: ko nga tama a Ierutunu; ko Keraria, ko Teri, ko Ihaia, ko Hahapia, ko Matitia, tokoono: ko to ratou papa ko Ierutunu to ratou kaiwhakamahi. I poropiti ia i runga i te hapa, i whakawhetai, i whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa.

Ko enei katoa he tama na Hemana matakite a te kingi, mo nga mea a te Atua, hei hapai i te haona. Na homai ana e te Atua ki a Hemana kotahi tekau ma wha nga tama, tokotoru nga tamahine.

Ko enei katoa he mea whakamahi na to ratou papa ki te waiata i te whare o Ihowa i runga i nga himipora, i te hatere, i te hapa, hei mahi ki te whare o te Atua, hei pera ano me ta te kingi i ki ai ki a Ahapa, ki a Ierutunu, ki a Hemana.

Na, ko te tokomaha o ratou, o o ratou teina, i whakaakona ki nga waiata a Ihowa, ko te hunga mohio katoa, e rua rau e waru tekau ma waru.

I maka rota ano ratou mo ta ratou e tiaki ai, te iti, te rahi, te kaiwhakaako raua ko te akonga.
