Ngabathukuthelela abantu bami , ngalingcolisa ifa lami , ngalinikela esandleni sakho ; awubahawukelanga, walenza ijoka lakho ukuba lisinde kakhulu phezu kwabadala.

Bayakubizwa ngokuthi abantu abangcwele , abahlengiweyo bakaJehova ; wena uyakuthiwa Ofuniweyo, uMuzi Ongashiyiwe.

Wayesebabiza abantu, wathi kubo: Yizwani, niqonde.

baze bamangala abantu bebona izimungulu zikhuluma , izilima zisindile , izinyonga zihamba, izimpumputhe zibona ; bamdumisa uNkulunkulu ka - Israyeli.

UNkulunkulu wathi : Masenze abantu ngomfanekiso wethu , basifuze, babuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle , nezinyoni zezulu , nezinkomo, nomhlaba wonke, nezilwanyana zonke ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni.

Naye uSeti wazala indodana , wayiqamba igama layo ngokuthi u -Enoshe. Ngaleso sikhathi abantu baqala ukukhuleka egameni likaJehova.

Wabadala owesilisa nowesifazane , wababusisa, waqamba igama labo ngokuthi abantu mhla bedalwa.

Kwathi abantu beqala ukwanda ebusweni bomhlaba, bezala amadodakazi,

amadodana kaNkulunkulu abona amadodakazi abantu ukuthi mahle , azithathela abafazi kuwo awathandayo.

Ngalezo zinsuku kwakukhona iziqhwaga emhlabeni , nangasemuva futhi , lapho amad odana kaNkulunkulu engena kuwo amadodakazi abantu , awazalela abantwana. Lana ayengamadodana asendulo anamandla, anegama lodumo.

Wayesezisola uJehova ukuthi wayebenzile abantu emhlabeni , wadabuka enhliziyweni yakhe.

UJehova wathi: Abantu engibadalileyo ngizakubachitha ebusweni bomhlaba, yebo, abantu, nezinkomo, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, nezinyoni zezulu , ngokuba ngiyazisola ukuthi ngibenzile.

Wachitha kanjalo konke okuphilayo ebusweni bomhlaba , abantu, nezinkomo, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo , nezinyoni zezulu ; wakuchitha emhlabeni; kwasala uNowa yedwa ka nye nakho okwakukhona naye emkhunjini.

Kodwa elenu igazi okukulo umphefumulo wenu ngiyakulibiza ; kuzo zonke izilwane ngiyakulibiza ; nakubo bonke abantu ngiyakubiza umphefumulo wabo, owomunye esandleni somunye.

Kepha abantu baseSodoma babebabi , bengabonayo kakhulu phambi kukaJehova.

Inkosi yaseSodoma yathi ku-Abrama: Ngiphe abantu, uzithathele impahla.

Ngiyakumbusisa, ngikunike indodana ngaye ; yebo, ngiyakumbusisa abe yizizwe, kuvele kuye amakhosi abantu.

Zingakalali, amadoda omuzi, amadoda aseSodoma, azungeza indlu, amasha namadala, abantu bonke bephelele.

U-Abrahama wayesesukuma, wakhothamela abantu balelo zwe, abantwana bakwaHeti,

Cha, nkosi; ngilalele: ngiyakunika le nsimu , nomhume okuyo ngikunika wona; ebusweni bamadodana abantu bami ngikunika wona; mmbele lapho ofileyo wakho.

Bheka, sengimi ngasemthonjeni wamanzi, amadodakazi abantu bomuzi eza ukukha amanzi.

U-Abimeleki wayala bonke abantu , wathi: Othinta lo muntu nomkakhe uzakubulawa nokubulawa. Amandla ka-Isaka nokuphikisana ngemithombo

Abantu mabakukhonze, izizwe zikukhothamele; yiba yinkosi yabafowenu , amadodana kanyoko akukhothamele ; makaqalekiswe okuqalekisayo , abusiswe okubusisayo.

ULabani wabutha abantu bonke bakuleyo ndawo, wenza idili.

UJakobe wayeseshaywa luvalo kakhulu , ekhathazeka; wahlukanisa abantu ababenaye, nezimvu, nezinkomo, namakamela, kwaba ngamaqembu amabili,

Amadodana kaJakobe abuya endle esezwile lokho ; abantu badabuka , bathukuthela kakhulu , ngokuba ubenze ubuwula kwa-Israyeli ngokulala nendodakazi kaJakobe, okungenakwenziwa.

UJakobe wayesethi koSimeyoni noLevi : Ningihluphile, ningenzile ukuba nginukele kabi abantu bezwe , amaKhanani namaPherizi , lokhu ngiyingcosana, bayakungihlanganyela, bangibulale, ngichithwe mina nendlu yami.

Wayesebuza abantu bendawo yakhe , wathi: Siphi isi febe esasise -Enayimi ngasendleleni na? Bathi: Akuzange kube khona isifebe lapha.

wabiza abantu bendlu , wakhuluma kubo , wathi: Bonani usilethele umHeberu ukuba adlale ngathi ; uze kimina ukuba alale nami ; ngamemeza ngezwi elikhulu;

Wena uzakuba phezu kwendlu yami ; ngezwi lakho bayakuhlelwa bonke abantu bami; esihlalweni sobukhosi kuphela ngiyakuba mkhulu kunawe.

Kwathi selilambile izwe lonke laseGibithe , abantu bakhala kuFaro ngokudla; uFaro wathi kubo bonke abaseGibithe : Yanini kuJosefa ; lokho anitshela khona, nikwenze.

UJosefa wayengumbusi ezweni ; nguyena owathengisela abantu bonke bezwe; bafika-ke abafowabo bakaJosefa, bamkhothamela ngobuso phansi.

Bahlala phambi kwakhe , izibulo njengobuzibulo balo nomncane njengobuncane bakhe; abantu bamangala omunye nomunye.

Khona uJosefa wayengasenakuzibamba phambi kwabo bonke ababemi naye, wakhala wathi : Phumisani kimi abantu bonke . Kwakungemi muntu naye , uJosefa esazazisa kubafowabo.

Yilawo angamadodana kaZilipa uLabani amnika yena uLeya indodakazi yakhe; wamzalela wona uJakobe, abantu abayishumi nesithupha.

Yilawo angamadodana kaRahel i azalelwa wona uJakobe ; bonke abantu babe yishumi nane.

Yilawo angamadodana kaBiliha uLabani amnika uRaheli indodakazi yakhe ; wamzalela wona uJakobe; bonke abantu babe yisikhombisa.

Bonke abantu abeza noJakobe eGibithe abaphuma okhalweni lwakhe , ngaphandle kwabafazi bamadodana kaJakobe , bonke abantu babe ngamashumi ayisithupha nesithupha.

Amadodana kaJosefa azalelwa wona eGibithe ayengabantu ababili ; bonke abantu bendlu kaJakobe abeza eGibithe babe ngamashumi ayisikhombisa. UJakobe uhlangana noJosefa

Abantu wabayisa emizini , ebasusa komunye umncele wezwe laseGibithe kwaze kwaba komunye umncele walo.

Ungangeni emkhandlwini wabo, mphefumulo wami; ungahlangani nebandla labo, nhliziyo yami , ngokuba ngolaka lwabo babulala abantu ; ngobudlova babo basika izinkabi umsipha.

UDani uyakuthetha amacala abantu bakhe , njengesinye sezizwe zakwa - Israyeli.

Yebo, nina nangisongozela okubi , kepha uNkulunkulu wakuceba kwaba kuhle ukuba akwenze kube njenganamuhla, asindise abantu abaningi.

Bonke abantu abaphuma okhalweni lukaJakobe babe ngabantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa; uJosefa wayeseGibithe.

Yathi kubantu bayo : Bhekani, abantu babantwana bakwa -Israyeli baningi , futhi banamandla kunathi;

UNkulunkulu wabenzela ababelethisi okuhle ; abantu banda, baba baningi kakhulu.

UFaro wayesebayala abantu bakhe bonke , ethi: Bonke abafana abazalwayo anobaphonsa emfuleni, kepha amantombazana niwasindise onke.

Ngakho hamba , ngiyakukuthuma kuFaro ukuba ukhiphe eGibithe abantu bami, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

UJehova wathi kuMose kwaMidiyani : Hamba ubuyele eGibithe , ngokuba sebafa abantu bonke abafuna ukukubulala.

UJehova wathi kuMose: Ekuhambeni kwakho usubuyela eGibithe bhekisisa ukuba wenze ebusweni bukaFaro zonke izimangaliso engizibeke esandleni sakho; kepha mina ngiyakuyenza lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe ; akayikubayeka abantu ukuba bahambe.

u-Aroni wakhuluma onke a mazwi uJehova awakhulume kuMose , wazenza izibonakaliso emehlweni abantu.

Abantu bakholwa -ke. Sebezwile ukuthi uJehova ubahambele abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, nokuthi ukubonile ukuhlupheka kwabo , base bekhothama , bakhuleka.

Ngasemuva oMose no -Aroni bafika , bathi kuFaro : Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe , bangenzele umkhosi ehlane.

Inkosi yaseGibithe yathi kubo : Nibakhumulelani abantu emithwalweni yabo nina Mose no-Aroni na? Hambani, niye emisebenzini yenu.

UFaro wathi : Bheka, abantu sebebaningi ezweni , nokho niyabaphumuza emithwalweni yabo.

Anisayikubanika abantu utshani bokwenza izitini njengaphambili ; mabahambe bazibuthele utshani.

Base behlakazeka abantu ezweni lonke laseGibithe ukuyobutha izinhlanga zibe yibona tshani babo.

Selokhu ngafika kuFaro ukukhuluma egameni lakho , ubaphathe kabi laba bantu, nawe awubophulanga nakanci abantu bakho.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Inhliziyo kaFaro ilukhuni : uyenqaba ukuba abantu bahambe.

Wothi kuye: U Jehova, uNkulunkulu wamaHeberu, ungithume kuwe, uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe bangikhonze ehlane ; bheka, kuze kube manje awulalelanga.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose: Ngena kuFaro, uthi kuye: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe, bangikhonze.

Khona uFaro wababiza oMose no -Aroni, wathi: Ncengani uJehova ukuba asuse amasele kimi nakubantu bami; ngizakuvumela abantu ukuba bahambe, bahlabele uJehova.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Vuka ekuseni kusasa , ume phambi kukaFaro; bheka, uyaphuma ukuya emanzini ; thana kuye : U Jehova usho kanje , uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe bangikhonze.

Ngalolo suku ngiyakwahlukanisa izwe laseGosheni abakhe kulo abantu bami ukuba kungabikho izibawu khona , ukuze wazi ukuthi nginguJehova phakathi kwezwe.

Ngizakwahlukanisa abantu bami nabantu bakho ; ngomuso siyakuvela lesi sibonakaliso.

Wathi uMose : Bheka, ngiyaphuma kuwe ; ngiyakuncenga uJehova ukuba izibawu zimuke , zisuke kuFaro , nakuzo izinceku zakhe , nakubantu bakhe ngomuso; kodwa uFaro angabuyi akhohlise ngokungavumeli abantu ukuba bahambe bahlabele uJehova.

UFaro wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe nangaleso sikhathi futhi , kabavumelanga abantu ukuba bahambe.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Ngena kuFaro , umtshele ukuthi : U sho kanje uJehova, uNkulunkulu wamaHeberu , uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe, bangikhonze.

UFaro wathumela ; bheka, emfuyweni yakwa -Israyeli akufanga neyodwa; kepha inhliziyo kaFaro yayilukhuni, kabavumelanga abantu ukuba bahambe. Inhlupheko yesithupha: amathumba

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Vuka ekuseni kusasa , ume phambi kukaFaro , uthi kuye: UJehova, uNkulunkulu wamaHeberu, usho kanje, uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe, bangikhonze.

Usabavimbela abantu bami, ungabavumeli ukuba bahambe, na?

Ngalokho thuma, ubuyise imfuyo yakho nakho konke onakho endle ; bonke abantu nazo zonke izinkomo okuyakufunyanwa endle kungagoduswanga kuyakuwelelwa yisichotho, kufe.

Kepha futhi ukuba abantu bonke badle , baphuze, babone okuhle kuwo wonke umshikashika wabo kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu nalokho.

Isichotho sashaya konke okwakusendle, abantu nezinkomo , ezweni lonke laseGibithe; isichotho sashaya yonke imifino yasendle , saphula yonke imithi yasendle.

OMose no -Aroni bangena -ke kuFaro , bathi kuye : Usho kanje uJehova , uNkulunkulu wamaHeberu , uthi: Koze kube nini wenqaba ukuzithoba phambi kwami na? Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe, bangikhonze.

Ngokuba uma wenqaba ukuba abantu bami bahambe , bheka, ngomuso ngizakuletha isikhonyane ezweni lakho.

Kepha izinceku zikaFaro zathi kuye : Lo muntu uzakuba lugibe kuze kube nini na? Bavumele abantu ukuba bahambe bakhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo. Awukwazi ukuthi iGibithe seliyashabalala na?

UJehova wabapha abantu umusa emehlweni abaseGibithe . Futhi lowo muntu uMose wayemkhulu kakhulu ezweni laseGibithe emehlweni ezinceku zikaFaro nasemehlweni abantu.

Ngokuba ngiyakudabula izwe laseGibithe ngalobo busuku, ngibulale onke amazibulo ezweni laseGibithe , abantu nezinkomo , ngenze izahlulelo kuzo zonke izithixo zaseGibithe; nginguJehova.

nithi: Kungumhlatshelo wephasika likaJehova owadlula kuzo izindlu zabantwana bakwa -Israyeli mhla ebulala abaseGibithe , ezophula izindlu zethu. Abantu bakhothama, bakhuleka.

AbaseGibithe babebacindezela abantu ukuba babakhiphe ezweni ngokushesha, ngokuba bathi: Thina sonke sifile.

Abantu base bethatha inhlama yabo ingakavutshelwa , nezingqwembe zabo zokuxova isinkwa, ziboshwe ezingutsheni zabo emahlombe abo.

UJehova wabenzela abantu umusa emehlweni abaseGibithe, babapha lokho abakucelayo. Babaphundla abaseGibithe. Abakwa-Israyeli basuka eGibithe

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bas uka eRamsesi , bafika eSukoti , kungathi abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha behamba phansi , bengamadoda ngaphandle kwabantwana.

Onke amazibulo ezimbongolo wowahlenga ngewundlu; uma ungawahlengi, wowaphula intamo; amazibulo onke abantu kumadodana akho wowahlenga.

Kwathi uFaro evuma kalukhuni ukuba sihambe , uJehova wabulala amazibulo onke asezweni laseGibithe , amazibulo abantu namazibulo ezinkomo; ngalokho ngiyahlabela uJehova konke okuvula isizal o okungamaduna; kepha onke amazibulo amadodana ami ngiyawahlenga.

Kwathi uFaro esebavumele abantu ukuba bahambe , uNkulunkulu akabaholanga ngendlela yasezweni lamaFilisti , noma kwakuyiyona eseduze ; ngokuba uNkulunkulu wathi: Funa mhlawumbe abantu bazisole, nxa bebona impi, babuyele eGibithe.

Kepha uNkulunkulu wabagwegwisa abantu ngendlela yasehlane ngaseLwandle Olubomvu ; abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bakhuphuka ezweni laseGibithe behlomile.

Inkosi yaseGibithe yabikelwa ukuthi abantu sebebalekile ; inhliziyo kaFaro neyezinceku zakh e yabaguqukela abantu, bathi: Yini lokhu esikwenzileyo , sabavumela abakwa-Israyeli ukuba bahambe, bangasikhonzi, na?

U-Israyeli wabona umsebenzi omkhulu uJehova awenzile phezu kwabaseGibithe; abantu base bemesaba uJehova , bakholwa nguJehova nenceku yakhe uMose.

Ngomusa wakho wabahola abantu obahlengileyo ; ngamandla akho wabayisa endlini yakho engcwele.

Bayehlelwa luvalo nokwesaba; ngokobukhulu bengalo yakho bathulisa okwetshe, baze bawele abantu bakho , Jehova, baze bawele abantu bakho obathengileyo.

Abantu bakhonona ngoMose, bathi: Siyakuphuzani na?

Abantwana bakw a-Israyeli bathi kubo : Sengathi nga safa ngesandla sikaJehova ezweni laseGibithe , lapho sasihlezi ngasemakhanzini enyama , sidla isinkwa sisutha, ngokuba nisiphumisele kuleli hlane ukuyobulala lonke leli bandla ngendlala. Abantu basuthiswa ngezigwaca nangemana*

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Bheka, ngizakuninisela isinkwa esivela ezulwini; abantu bayakuphuma , babuthe isabelo sosuku imihla ngemi hla, ukuze ngibavivinye ukuthi bazakuhamba yini emthethweni wami noma qha.

Kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa kwaphuma abanye abantu ukuba bakubuthe, kepha kabakutholanga.

Base bephumula-ke abantu ngosuku lwesikhombisa.

Ibandla lonke labantwana bakwa -Israyeli lasuka ehlane laseSini , bahamba ngamabanga njengesiyalo sikaJehova, bamisa eRefidimi; kwakungekho manzi okuba abantu baphuze.

Ngalokho abantu baphikisana noMose, bathi: Siphe amanzi, siphuze. UMose wathi kubo: Yini ukuba niphikisane nami na? Nimlingelani uJehova na?

Abantu bomela khona amanzi ; abantu bakhonona ngoMose , bathi: Usikhuphuleleni eGibithe ukuba usibulale , thina nabantwana bethu nezinkomo zethu ngokoma, na?

Bheka, ngiyakuma phambi kwakho edwaleni laseHorebe ; uzakushaya itshe, kuphume amanzi kulo , abantu baphuze . Wenze njalo uMose emehlweni amalunga akwa-Israyeli.

UMose wathi kumukhwe wakhe: Kungokuba abantu beza kimi ukuyombuza uNkulunkulu.

UJetiro umpristi wakwaMidiyani , umukhwe kaMos e, wezwa konke uNkulunkulu abenzele khona oMose no -Israyeli abantu bakhe , ukuthi uJehova wayemkhiphile u-Israyeli eGibithe.

Wathi uJetiro : Makabongwe uJehova onophulile esandleni sabaseGibithe nasesandleni sikaFaro, ebophulile abantu phansi kwesandla sabaseGibithe.

Kwathi ngangomuso uMose wayehlala ukwah lulela abantu; abantu babemi ngakuMose kusukela ekuseni kwaze kwahlwa.

Umukhwe kaMose esebona konke abenzela khona abantu , wathi: Kuyini lokhu obenzela khona bantu na ? Uhlalelani wedwa , abantu bonke bemi ngakuwe kusukela ekuseni kuze kuhlwe na?

Akube yizona ezahlulela abantu ngezikhathi zonke , kulethwe kuwe zonke izindaba ezinkulu ; kepha zonke izindaba ezincane zahlulelwe yizo uqobo , kuze kube lula kuwe, zithwalisane nawe.

Zahlulela abantu ngezikhathi zonke ; izindaba ezilukhuni zazidlulisela kuMose, kepha zonke izindaba ezincane zahlulelwa yizo uqobo.

UMose wafika, wabiza amalunga abantu, wabeka phambi kwabo onke lawo mazwi uJehova amyale ngawo.

Bonke abantu baphendula kanyekanye , bathi: Konke akukhulumileyo uJehova siyakukwenza. UMose wabuyisela kuJehova amazwi abantu.

UJehova wathi kuMose : Bheka, ngiza kuwe ngefu elinzima ukuba abantu bezwe, nxa ngikhuluma nawe , bakholwe nguwe kuze kube phakade . UMose walandisa uJehova amazwi abantu.

babe sebelungile ngosuku lwesithathu ; ngokuba ngosuku lwesithathu uJehova uyakwehlela entabeni yaseSinayi emehlweni abantu bonke.

Wena-ke wobamise la abantu umkhawulo nxazonke , uthi: Xwayani ukuba ningakhuphukeli entabeni , ningathinti umkhawulo wayo . Lowo othinta intaba uyakubulawa impela;

UMose wehla entabeni , wabuyela kubantu , wabangcwelisa abantu ; bahlanza-ke izingubo zabo.

Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu sekusile, kwaba khona ukuduma nokunyazima kombani, nefu elinzima phezu kwentaba, nezwi lecilongo elizwakala kakhulu; bonke abantu abasekamu bathuthumela.

UMose wayesebakhipha abantu ekamu ukuba bahlangane noN kulunkulu; bema phansi kwentaba.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose: Yehla, ubaxwayise abantu, funa bafohle ukuba babone uJehova, kufe abaningi kubo.

UMose wathi kuJehova : Abantu abanakukhuphukela entabeni yaseSinayi , ngokuba usiyalisisile, wathi: Yimisele intaba umkhawulo, uyingcwelise.

Bonke abantu babona ukuduma nokunyazima kombani , nezwi lecilongo , nentaba ithunqa; kwathi abantu sebebonile, bathuthumela, bema kude.

Abantu bema kude ; uMose wasondela ebumnyameni obunzima , lapho ekhona uNkulunkulu. Umthetho we-altare

Nxa abantu belwa , omunye ashaye omunye ngetshe noma ngenqindi yakhe, angafi kepha alale embhedeni,

Uma abantu belwa, balimaze owesifazane okhulelweyo , size siphuphume isisu sakhe, kungaveli enye ingozi kodwa, wohlawuliswa impela njengalokho indoda yomfazi iyakubeka kuye, akhokhe njengesinqumo sabahluleli.

Ngiyakuthuma ukwesabeka kwami phambi kwakho , ngibasanganise bonke abantu ozakufika kubo, ngenze ukuba zonke izitha zakho zikufulathele.

UMose weza wabatshela abantu onke amazwi kaJehova nezahlulelo zonke; abantu bonke baphendula ngazwi linye , bathi: Onke amazwi uJehova awakhulumileyo siyakuwenza.

UMose wayesethatha igazi, wafafaza ngalo abantu, ethi: Bheka, nanti igazi lesivumelwano uJehova asenze nani ngawo onke lawa mazwi. UMose ukhuphukela eSinayi

Yisho kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli ukuba bangithabathele umnikelo ; kubo bonke abantu abanhliziyo zabo zivuma anothabatha umnikelo wami.

Abantu sebebone ukuthi uMose ulibele ukwehla entabeni, abantu babuthana ku-Aroni, bathi kuye : Vuka usenzele onkulunkulu abazakuhamba phambi kwethu, ngokuba uMose lowo , umuntu owasikhuphula ezweni laseGibithe, asazi ukuthi wehlelwe yini.

Bonke abantu bakhumula -ke amacici egolide asezindlebeni zabo , bawayisa ku-Aroni.

Bavuka ekuseni ngakusasa , banikela ngeminikelo yokushis wa, baletha iminikelo yokuthula ; abantu bahlala phansi ukuba badle , baphuze; bavuka ukuyodlala. Intukuthelo kaJehova nomkhuleko kaMose

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: Hamba wehle, ngokuba abantu bakho owabakhuphula ezweni laseGibithe benzile isono;

UMose wamshweleza uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe, wathi: Jehova, ulaka lwakho lubavuthelelani abantu bakho owabakhuphula ezweni laseGibithe ngamandla amakhulu nangesandla esiqinileyo na?

Wathi u-Aroni: Ulaka lwenkosi yami malungavuthi ; uyabazi abantu ukuthi bathanda ububi.

UMose wababona abantu ukuthi babedlubulundile ; ngokuba u -Aroni wayebakhululile baze bahlekwa yizitha zabo;

Amadodana kaLevi enza njengez wi likaMose, kwawa ngalolo suku abantu kungathi abayizinkulungwane ezintathu.

Kalokhu hamba-ke, uhole abantu, uye kuleyo ndawo engakhuluma ngayo kuwe; bheka, ingelosi yami iyakuhamba phambi kwakho ; kepha mhla ngibahambela ngiyakuhambela isono sabo kubo.

UJehova wayesebashaya-ke abantu, ngokuba benza ithole lelo alenzayo u - Aroni.

Abantu beyizwa le ndaba embi badabuka , akwabakho muntu owafaka izivunulo zakhe.

Kwathi uMose ephuma eya etendeni , bonke abantu basukuma bema , kwaba yilowo nalowo ngasemnyango wetende lakhe , bambuka uMose waze wangena etendeni.

Bonke abantu bayibona insika yefu imi ngasemnyango wetende ; bonke abantu basukuma, bakhuleka, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngasemnyango wetende lakhe.

Ngokuba kuyakwaziwa ngani ukuthi ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho , mina nabantu bakho , na? Akungalokhu yini ukuthi uhamba nathi , ukuze sahlukaniswe, mina nabantu bakho, nabanye abantu abasebusweni bomhlaba na?

Wayesethi: Bheka, ngiyenza isivumelwano; phambi kwabantu bonke bakho ngiyakuzenza izimangaliso ezingazange zenziwe emhlabeni wonke nakusiphi isizwe; bonke abantu okhona phakathi kwabo bayakuwubona umsebenzi kaJehova, ngokuba kuyesabeka lokhu engikwenza kuwe.

bathi kuMose : Abantu baletha okuningi kakhulu kunokwanele inkonzo yomsebenzi ayalile ngawo uJehova ukuba wenziwe.

UMose wayeseyala , kwamenyezelwa ekamu , kwathiwa: Makungabe kusasetshenzwa ngowesilisa nangowesifazane omunye umsebenzi womnikelo wendlu engcwele. Base bevinjelwa abantu ukuletha.

kwaba yilowo nalo wo wanikela ngebeka eliyinxenye yeshekeli ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele kubo bonke abadlulela kwababaliweyo abaneminyaka engamashumi amabili nangaphezulu , abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha nantathu namakhulu ayisihlanu namashumi ayisihlanu.

uma kungumpristi ogcotshiweyo owone kanjalo , aze ehlisele abantu icala , wonikela kuJehova ngesono sakhe one ngaso iduna elingenasici , kube ngumnikelo wesono,

Ngiyazi ukuthi konke akwenzayo uNkulunkulu kuyakuba khona kuze kube phakade; akukho okungenezelwa kukho , futhi akukho okungasuswa kukho . UNkulunkulu ukwenzile ukuba abantu besabe phambi kwakhe.

Ngathi enhliziyweni yami : Kungenxa yamadodana abantu ukuze uNkulunkulu awavivinye, wona azibonele ukuthi anjengezilwane nje.

OMose no-Aroni bangena etendeni lok uhlangana, babuye baphuma , bababusisa abantu; yayisibonakala inkazimulo kaJehova kubantu bonke.

Kwaphuma umlilo ngaphambi kukaJehova , waqeda umnikelo wokushiswa namanoni e-altare; sebekubona abantu bonke bananela, bakhothamela phansi ngobuso.

Abantu abaningi bayakuhamba , bathi: Wozani sikhuphukele entabeni kaJehova endlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe ; uyakusifundisa izindlela zakhe , sihambe emikhondweni yakhe, ngokuba umthetho uyakuvela eSiyoni , nezwi likaJehova eJerusalema.

Ngokuba ushiyile abantu bakho , indlu kaJakobe , lokhu begcwele ezasempumalanga, behlola imihlola njengamaFilisti , bexhawulana nabantwana babezizwe.

Kepha abantu bayakufoliswa , namadoda ayakuthotshiswa ; abayikuthethelelwa.

Ngalolo suku abantu bayakulahla kuw o amavukuzi nakuwo amalulwan e izithombe zabo zesiliv a nezithombe zabo zegolide , abazenzele zona ukuba bakhuleke kuzo,

Bayekeni abantu okusemakhaleni abo kukhona ukuphefumula nje , ngokuba babalwa njengantoni na?

Izwe lingcolile ; ngalokho ngahambela ububi balo kulo , izwe lahlanza abantu balo.

ngokuba zonke lezo zinengiso bazenza abantu balelo zwe ababekhona ngaphambi kwenu, izwe selangcola

Futhi uyakusho kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli, uthi: Yilowo nalowo wabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, noma owabafokazi abagogobeleyo kwa -Israyeli, onikela ngenzalo yakhe kuMoloki, wobulawa nokubulawa, abantu balelo zwe bamkhande ngamatshe.

Uma abantu balelo zwe besitheza kancane amehlo abo kulowo muntu, lapho enikela ngenzalo yakhe kuMoloki, bangambulali,

Uma umuntu ethatha udadewabo , indodakazi kayise noma indodakazi kanina, abone ubunqunu bakhe , naye abone ubunqunu bakhe , kuyihlazo; bayakunqunywa phambi kwabantwana b abantu bakubo ; wambulile ubunqunu bukadadewabo; uyakuthwala ububi bakhe.

Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: Nxa umuntu enza isithembiso esithile, lapho uyakulinganisa abantu kuJehova,

Nokho into yonke eyahlukaniswa, umuntu ayahlukanisela uJehova kukho konke anakho , noma abantu , noma izilwane , noma insimu yefa lakhe , akuyikuthengiswa ngayo , ingahlengwa; konke okwahlukanisiwe kungcwelengcwele kuJehova.

Ngasemuva abantu basuka eHaseroti, bamisa ehlane lasePharanu.

Abantu bayakucindezelana , kube yilowo nalowo , yebo, yilowo nalowo nomakhelwane wakhe; abantwana bayakubhensela abadala, nabadelelekileyo abanodumo.

Abantu bami -ke izingane ziyabacindezela , nabesifazane bayababusa . O bantu bami, abaniholayo bayanidukisa; bachitha indlela yemikhondo yakho.

UJehova uyakungena ekwahluleleni namalunga abantu bakhe nezikhulu zabo ngokuthi: Yinina eniqedile isivini, impango yabampofu isezindlini zenu.

Nichobozeleni abantu bami , nigaye ubuso babampofu , na? isho iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti. Ukulahlwa kwamadodakazi aseSiyoni

Kwathi abantu bakhonona , kwabakubi ezindlebeni zikaJehova; esekuzwile uJehova, yavutha intukuthelo yakhe ; umlilo kaJehova washa phakathi kwabo, wabaqeda abasemkhawulweni wekamu.

Abantu base bekhala kuMose; uMose wakhuleka kuJehova, umlilo wabohla.

UMose wezwa abantu bekhala emindenini yabo , kwaba yilowo nalowo muntu ngasemnyango wetende lakhe ; intukuthelo kaJehova yavutha kakhulu; kwakukubi emehlweni kaMose.

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose , wathi: Ngibuthele amadoda angamashumi ayisikhombisa amalunga akwa-Israyeli, owaziyo ukuthi angamalunga abantu nezinduna zabo, uwalethe etendeni lokuhlangana ukuba eme khona nawe.

Wayesethi uMose : Abantu engiphakathi kwabo bayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha abayimigundatshani; wena-ke uthi : Ngiyakubanika inyama ukuba badle inyanga epheleleyo.

UMose waphuma, wabatshela abantu amazwi kaJehova; wabutha amadoda angamashumi ayisikhombisa amalunga ab antu, wawamisa ngasetendeni nxazonke.

UMose wathi kubo : Unomhawu ngenxa yami na ? Sengathi bonke abantu bakaJehova bangaba ngabaprofethi , uJehova abeke uMoya wakhe phezu kwabo.

Abantu bavuka lonke lolo suku , nobusuku bonke , nalo lonke usuku olulandelayo, babutha izigwaca ; owabutha okuncane wabutha amahomere ayishumi; bazenekela ngasekamu nxazonke.

Inyama isekhona phakathi kwamazinyo abo , ingakahlafunwa, ulaka lukaJehova lwavuthela abantu , uJehova wabashaya abantu ngokufa okukhulu kakhulu.

Igama laleyo ndawo laqanjwa ngokuthi iKibiroti Hathawa , ngokuba bambela abantu abafisayo.

Abantu basuka eKibiroti Hathawa, baya eHaseroti; bahlala eHaseroti.

Kodwa lowo muntu uMose wayemnene kunabo bonke abantu ababesebusweni bomhlaba.

UMiriyamu wavalelwa ngaphandle kwekamu izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ; abantu abahambanga, waze wabuyiswa uMiriyamu.

Thuma wena abantu ukuba bahlole izwe laseKhanani engibanika lona abantwana bakwa -Israyeli; uthume umuntu waleso naleso sizwe sawoyise , kube yilowo nalowo abe yinduna phakathi kwabo.

Nokho abantu abakhe ezweni banamandla , imizi ibiyelwe , mikhulu kakhulu; futhi sabona abantwana bakwa-Anaki khona.

UKalebi wathulisa abantu phambi kukaMose , wathi: Masenyuke khona manje, silidle, ngokuba sinamandla okulinqoba.

Base belandisa abantwana bakwa -Israyeli umbiko omubi ngezwe ababelihlolile, bathi: Izwe esilidabulile ukulihlola liyizwe elidla abakhileyo kulo; bonke abantu esababona kulo bangabantu abajaheleyo.

Inhlangano yonke yayisiphakamisa izwi layo , yakhala. Abantu bakhala izinyembezi ngalobo busuku.

Kodwa ningahlubuki kuJehova, futhi ningesabi abantu balelo zwe ; ngokuba bayisinkwa kithi ; umthunzi wabo usukile phezu kwabo , kodwa uJehova unathi; ningabesabi.

Ngokuba uJehova ebengenamandla okungenisa abantu bakhe ezweni alifungela kubo, ngalokho ubabulele ehlane.

UMose wakhuluma lawo mazwi kubo bonke abantwana bakwa -Israyeli; abantu balila kakhulu.

yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa -Israyeli iyakuthethelelwa kanye nomfokazi ogogobeleyo kubo , ngokuba kubo bonke abantu kwakungesiphosiso.

Uma laba bantu befa ngokufa kwabantu bonke, noma behlelwa ngokwehlela abantu bonke, uJehova uyakube kangithumanga.

Umlilo waphuma kuJehova , waqeda abantu abangamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu, ababenikele ngempepho.

Kepha ngolwangakusasa yonke inhlangano yabantw ana bakwa-Israyeli yakhonona ngoMose nango-Aroni, yathi: Nibabulele abantu bakaJehova.

U-Aroni wayesekuthatha njengalokho ekhulumile uMose , wagijima phakathi kwebandla ; bheka, isifo sase siqalile phakathi kwabantu ; wabeka impepho, wabenzela abantu ukubuyisana.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, yonke inhlangano, bafika ehlane laseSini ngenyanga yokuqala ; abantu bahlala eKadeshi ; uMiriyamu wafela khona , wembelwa khona futhi. Amanzi aseMeriba

Abantu balwa noMose , bakhuluma bathi : Sengathi ngabe safa ekufeni kwabafowethu phambi kukaJehova.

Abantu bakhuluma kabi ngoNkulunkulu nangoMose, bathi: Nisikhuphuleleni eGibithe ukuba sifele ehlane na ? Ngokuba akukho sinkwa , akukho manzi ; umphefumulo wethu uyanengwa yilesi sinkwa esilulana.

UJehova wathuma izinyoka ezinesihlungu phakathi kwabantu , zabaluma abantu; abantu abaningi bakwa-Israyeli bafa.

Abantu bafika kuMose , bathi: Sonile, ngokuba sikhulume kabi ngoJehova nangawe; khuleka kuJehova ukuba asuse izinyoka kithi . UMose wabakhulekela abantu.

Basuka lapho , baya eBeri ; lokhu kungumthom bo asho ngawo uJehova kuMose, wathi: Butha abantu, ngibaphe amanzi.

USihoni wayengamvumeli u -Israyeli ukudabula izwe lakhe , kepha uSihoni wabutha bonke abantu bakhe , waphuma eyomhlasela u -Israyeli ehlane , wafika eJahasi, walwa no-Israyeli.

Baphenduka, bakhuphuka ngendlela yaseBashani; u-Ogi inkosi yaseBashani waphuma, wabasukela, yena nabo bonke abantu bakhe , ukuyokulwa ngase- Edireyi.

Base bemnqoba -ke, namadodana akhe , nabo bonke abantu bakhe , waze wangasalelwa muntu; badla izwe lakubo.

UMowabi wayesesaba kakhulu abantu , ngokuba babebaningi ; uMowabi waba nosizi ngenxa yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Wathuma izithunywa kuBileyamu indodana kaBeyori ePethori elingasemfuleni ezweni labantwana babantu ba khe ukumbiza ngokuthi : Bheka, nampa abantu abaphumile eGibithe ; bheka, basibekela ubuso bomhlaba; sebehlala malungana nami;

Bheka, abantu abaphumile eGibithe basibekela ubuso bomhlaba ; woza kalokhu, ungiqalekisele bona; mhlawumbe ngingaze ngibe namandla ukulwa nabo, ngibaxoshe.

UNkulunkulu wathi kuBileyamu : Awuyikuhamba nawo ; awuyikuqalekisa abantu, ngokuba babusisiwe.

Bheka, abantu bavuk a njengengonyamakazi, nanjengengonyama bayaziphakamisa; abayikulala phansi, bengakayidli impango, baphuze igazi lababuleweyo.

U-Israyeli wahlala eShithimi ; abantu baqala ukuphinga namadodakazi akwaMowabi,

ngokuba babiza abantu ukuba beze emihlatshelweni yawonkulunkulu babo ; abantu badla, bakhothamela onkulunkulu babo.

UMose wathi kubo abahluleli bakwa -Israyeli: Bulalani, kube yilowo nalowo abantu bakhe abazihlanganisile noBali Peyori.

Bathatha yonke impango nayo yonke impahla edliweyo, abantu nezilwane.

Balani impango yonke ethathiweyo , abantu nezilwane, wena no-Eleyazare umpristi, nezinhloko zezindlu zawoyise benhlangano,

Abantu babe yizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesithupha, intela kaJehova kubo ingamashumi amathathu nambili.

Basuka e -Alushi, bamisa eRefidimi , lapho kwakungekho manzi khona ukuba abantu baphuze.

Kepha uma ningaxoshi abantu bezwe phambi kwenu , labo enibashiyayo bayakuba njengezinkandi emehlweni enu nanjengameva ezinhlangothini zenu, banikhathaze ezweni enihlala kulo.

Maningakhethi abantu ekwahluleleni , nimuzwe omncane njengomkhul u, ningesabi ubuso bamuntu , ngokuba ukwahlulela kungokukaNkulunkulu ; indaba elukhuni kini niyilethe kimi, ngiyizwe.

Siyakukhuphukelaphi na ? Abafowethu benzile izinhliziyo zethu ziphele amandla ngokusho ukuthi : Abantu bakhulu , bade kunathi ; imizi mikhulu , ibiyelwe kuze kube sezulwini; futhi sibonile amadodana ama-Anaki khona.

Yala abantu ngokuthi : Niyakudabula umkhawulo wabafowenu, abantwana bakwa-Esawu abahlala eSeyiri; bayakunesaba, kepha maniqaphele nokho,

Kwakuhlala khona kuqala ama -Emi, abantu abakhulu , abaningi, abade njengama-Anaki;

abantu abakhulu , abaningi, abade njengama -Anaki; kepha uJehova wabachitha phambi kwabo; babaxosha, bakha esikhundleni sabo,

USihoni waphuma wasihlasela , yena nabo bonke abantu bakhe , ukuzokulwa eJahasi.

Sase siphenduka sakhuphuka ngendlela eya eBashani ; u-Ogi inkosi yaseBashani waphuma wasihlasela , yena nabo bonke abantu bakhe , ukuzokulwa ngase-Edireyi.

UJehova wayesethi kimi : U ngamesabi, ngokuba ngimnikele yena nabo bonke abantu bakhe nezwe lakhe esandleni sakho , wena wenze kuye , njengalokho wenza kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owahlala eHeshiboni.

Bheka, kuvela abantu enyakatho , isizwe esikhulu namakhosi amaningi, kuvuswe ekugcineni komhlaba.

Zinceku, lalelani ezintweni zonke labo abangamakhosi enu ngokwenyama , kungengokuthenga amehlo njengabathokozisa abantu kodwa ngobuqotho benhliziyo, niyesabe iNkosi.

Konke enikwenzayo kwenzeni ngenhliziyo, kungathi kwenzelwa iNkosi, qha abantu,

Ukukhuluma kwenu makube nomusa njalo , kuyolisiwe ngosawoti , ukuze nazi enifanele ukubaphendula ngakho bonke abantu. OThikhiku no-Onesimu

Amehlo enu abonile okwenziwa nguJehova ngenxa kaBali Peyori ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wabachitha phakathi kwakho bonke abantu ababemlandela uBali Peyori.

usuku owema ngalo phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho eHorebe , lapho uJehova wathi kimi: Ngibuthele abantu, ngibezwise amazwi ami ukuba bafunde ukungesaba zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwabo emhlabeni, bafundise nabantwana babo.

Abantu bake balizwa yini izwi likaNkulunkulu likhuluma livela phakathi komlilo, njengalokho wena uzwile, baphile, na?

abantu abakhulu nabade , amadodana ama -Anaki owaziyo , ozwile ngawo ukuthi: Ngubani ongema phambi kwamadodana ka-Anaki na?

UJehova wathi kimi: Vuka wehle lapha masinyane, ngokuba abantu bakho owabakhipha eGibithe bonile, baphambukile masinyane endleleni engabayala ngayo; bazenzele isithombe esibunjiweyo.

Ngakhuleka kuJehova , ngathi: Jehova Nkulunkulu , ungabhubhisi abantu bakho nefa lakho olihlengile ngobukhulu bakho , walikhipha eGibithe ngesandla esinamandla.

Abantu abathile abonakeleyo baphumile phakathi kwakho , bahlubukisile abomuzi wabo ngokuthi: Masiye sikhonze abanye onkulunkulu eningabaziyo,

woshaya nokushaya abantu balowo muzi ngosiko lwen kemba, uwuchithe impela, nakho konke okuphakathi kwawo , nezinkomo zawo , ngosiko lwenkemba.

Uyakuzikhethela abahluleli nezinduna emasangweni akho onke uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika wona njengezizwe zakho ; bayakwahlulela abantu babo ngokwahlulela okulungileyo.

Bonke abantu bayakuzwa, besabe, bangabe besenza ngokuziqhenya.

Kepha akayikuzandisela amahhashi, angabuyiseli abantu eGibithe , ukuze andise amahhashi , ngokuba uJehova ushilo kini , wathi: Anisayikubuyela ngaleyo ndlela.

Kuyakuthi lapho izinduna s eziqedile ukukhuluma , zikhethe izin duna zamabandla eziyakubahola abantu.

Kuyakuthi uma ukuphendula ngezwi lokuthula , uzivulele kuwe , abantu bonke abafunyaniswa phakathi kwawo baba yizinceku zempoqo, bakukhonze.

Akuyikubakho muntu oyakutha tha itshe lokugaya noma imbokodwe kube yisibambiso, ngokuba yena uthatha konke okuphilwa ngakho kube yisibambiso. Ukweba abantu; uchoko; ukutsheleka; nokunye

Bheka phansi usezindlini zakho ezingcwele ezulwini, ubusise abantu bakho u-Israyeli nomhlaba osinike wona njengokufunga kwakho kobaba , izwe elivame ubisi nezinyosi.

UMose namalunga akwa -Israyeli bayala abantu , bathi: Gcinani yonke imiyalo esiniyala ngayo namuhla.

UMose wayala abantu ngalona lolo suku, wathi:

Laba bayakuma entabeni yaseGerizimu ukubusisa abantu, lapho seniwelile iJordani: oSimeyoni, noLevi, noJuda, no-Isakare, noJosefa, noBenjamini;

Makaqalekiswe umuntu owenza isithombe ezibaziweyo nesibunjiweyo , isinengiso kuJehova, umsebenzi wezandla zengcweti, asimise ngasese. Bonke abantu bayakuphendula bathi: Amen.

Nimi namuhla nonk e phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu : izinhloko zenu, nezizwe zenu, namalunga enu, nezinduna zenu, bonke abantu bakwa - Israyeli,

yebo, bonke abantu bayakuthi : U Jehova wenzeleni kanje kuleli zwe na ? Kuthini ukuvutha kwalolu laka olukhulu na?

UMose wambiza uJoshuwa , wathi kuye emehlweni abantu bonke bakwa - Israyeli: Qina, ume isibindi, ngokuba uyakuhamba nalaba bantu, uye ezweni uJehova afunga koyise ukubanika lona ; wena uyakwenza ukuba balidle ifa lalo.

Butha abantu , amadoda, nabesifazane, nabantwana, nomfokazi wakho ophakathi kwamasango akho ukuba bezwe , bafunde, bamesabe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, baqaphele ukuwenza onke amazwi alo mthetho,

Ngokuba uJehova uyakubahlulela abantu bakhe , azihawukele izinceku zakhe, lapho ebona ukuthi amandla abo aphelile, kungekho omunye ovalelweyo noma okhululekileyo.

Yenanelani abantu bakhe nina zizwe , ngokuba uyakuphindisela igazi lezinceku zakhe, abuyisele impindiselo kwabamelene naye, enzele izwi lakhe nabantu bakhe ukubuyisana.

Dabulani phakathi kwekamu, niyale abantu, nithi: Zilungiseleni umphako, ngokuba emva kwezinsuku ezintathu niyakuwela leli Jordani , ningene ukuba nilidle izwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu aninika lona ukuba nilizuze. Isiyalezo sikaJoshuwa ukuba izizwe zasempumalanga zisize ukunqoba izwe elingasentshonalanga kweJordani

Abantu bawaxosha endleleni eya eJordani emazibukweni ; sebephumile abawaxosha, bavala isango.

Zayala abantu, zathi: Nxa nibona umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu nabapristi bamaLevi bewuthwala , niyakusuka endaweni yenu, niwulandele.

Kwathi lapho abantu besuka ematendeni abo ukuba bawele iJordani , abapristi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano bephambi kwabantu,

ayesema amanzi avela ngenhla , afukuka aba nqwabanye kude kakhulu ngase-Adamu, umuzi oseceleni kweSaretani ; lawo ewuka eya ngaseLwandle lwase-Araba, uLwandle Lukasawoti, anqamuka impela ; abantu base bewela maqondana neJeriko.

Abapristi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova bema baqi na emhlabathini owomileyo nga phakathi neJordani , abantu bonke bawela emhlabathini owomileyo, saze sawela iJordani isizwe sonke saphelela.

Abapristi abathwala umphongolo babemi phakathi neJordani , kwaze kwaphelela konke uJehova amyale ngakho uJoshuwa ukuba akukhulume kubantu n jengakho konke uMose abemyale ngakho uJoshuwa ; abantu bashesha bawela.

Kwathi lapho bonke abantu sebewelile baphelela , umphongolo kaJehova wawela kanye nabapristi emehlweni abantu.

Abantu benyuka eJordani ngolweshumi lwenyanga yokuqala , bamisa eGiligali emkhawulweni wangasempumalanga kwaseJeriko.

ukuba abantu bonke bomhlaba bazi isandla sikaJehova ukuthi sinamandla, nesabe uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu kuze kube phakade.

Nasi isizathu uJoshuwa abasoka ngaso : bonke abantu abaphuma eGibithe ababengabesilisa, onke amadoda empi , bafa ehlane ngasendleleni , sebephumile eGibithe.

Ngokuba bonke abantu abaphuma babesokiwe , kepha bonke abant u abazalwa ehlane ngasendleleni ekuphumeni kwabo eGibithe babengabasokanga.

Kwathi sebeqedile ukusoka abantu bonke , bahlala ezindaweni zabo ekamu , baze baphola.

Kuyakuthi lapho bekhalisa kade uphondo lwejubili nalapho nil izwa izwi lecilongo, bonke abantu bakhamuluke ngokukhamuluka okukhulu , ugange lomuzi luwele phansi endaweni yalo , abantu bakhuphuke , yilowo nalowo aqonde phambili nje.

UJoshuwa wayala abantu, wathi: Aniyikukhamuluka; ningalizwakalisi izwi lenu, kungaphumi gama emlonyeni wenu , kuze kufike usuku engiyakuthi ngalo kini: Khamulukani! Bese nikhamuluka.

Abantu base bekhamuluka , amacilongo abethwa ; kwathi lapho abantu bezwe ukukhala kwecilongo , abantu bakhamuluka ngokukhamuluka okukhulu, ugange lwawela phansi endaweni yalo , abantu benyukela emzini , yilowo nalowo waqonda phambili nje, bawuthatha umuzi.

Abuyela kuJoshuwa , athi kuye : Mabangakhuphuki bonk e abantu ; makuhambe amadoda kungathi izinkulungwane ezimbili noma ezintathu , alichithe i -Ayi; ungabakhathazi bonke abantu ngokuya khona , ngokuba bayingcosana nje.

Kwase kukhuphukela khona abantu abayizinkulungwane ezintathu , kepha babaleka phambi kwamadoda ase-Ayi.

Amadoda ase -Ayi abulala abantu abangamashumi amathathu nesithupha , abaxosha esuka phambi kwesango aze afika eShebarimi , ababulala emthambekeni; izinhliziyo zabantu zaphela amandla, zaba njengamanzi.

Suka ungcwelise abantu, uthi: Zingcweliseleni ingomuso, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli usho kanje, uthi: Kukhona okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwakho, Israyeli; awunakuma phambi kwezitha zakho , ningakakususi okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwenu.

UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa : Ungesabi, ungabi naluvalo ; suka nabo bonke abantu bempi, ukhuphuke uye e-Ayi; bheka, nginikele esandleni sakho inkosi yase-Ayi, nabantu bayo, nomuzi wayo, nezwe layo;

UJoshuwa wasuka kanye nabo bonke abantu bempi ukuba akh uphukele e- Ayi; uJoshuwa wakhetha amadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu amaqhawe anamandla, wawathuma ebusuku.

UJoshuwa wavuka ekuseni kakhulu , wabutha abantu , wakhuphuka, yena namalunga akwa-Israyeli, phambi kwabantu, waya e-Ayi.

Bonke abantu bempi ayenabo bakhuphuka , basondela, baya phambi komuzi, bamisa ngasenyakatho kwase -Ayi; kwakukhona isigodi phakathi kwakhe ne-Ayi.

Sebehleliwe abantu , lonke ibandla elalingasenyakatho komuzi nabaqamekeleyo babo ab abengasentshonalanga komuzi , uJoshuwa waya ngalobo busuku phakathi kwesigodi.

Bonke abantu basemzini babizwa ukuba babaxoshe ; bamxosha uJoshuwa, basuswa emzini.

Lapho amadoda ase-Ayi ebheka emva kwabo, abona, bheka, umusi womuzi wenyukela ngasezulwini ; ayengenamandla ukubaleka ngalapha noma ngalapha, lapho abantu ababebalekele ngasehlane sebephendukela ababaxoshayo.

Bonke abawa ngalolo suku , abesilisa nabesifazane, babeyizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili, abantu bonke base-Ayi.

Bonke abakwa -Israyeli namalunga abo , nezinduna zabo , nabahluleli babo babemi ngalapha nangalapha komphongo lo phambi kwabapristi bamaLevi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova , abafokazi nabokuzalwa ekhaya, inxenye yabo ibhekene nentaba yaseGerizimu , inxenye yabo ibhekene nentaba yase-Ebali, njengalokho uMose inceku kaJehova ebeyalile , ukuba babusise abantu bakwa-Israyeli kuqala.

UJoshuwa wayesekhuphuka eGiligali, yena nabo bonke abantu bempi kanye naye, nawo onke amaqhawe anamandla.

Lase lima ilanga , nenyanga yahlala , abantu baze baziphindisela ezitheni zabo. Akulotshiwe yini lokho eNcwadini Yolungileyo na ? Ilanga lema phakathi nomkhathi, alisheshanga ukushona kungathi usuku lonke.

bonke abantu babuyela ekamu kuJoshuwa eMakheda ngokuthula , akwabakho onyakazisa ulimi lwakhe ngomuntu wabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Aphuma wona nawo onke amabandla awo enawo , abantu abaningi , bengangesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle ngobuningi , namahhashi nezinqola eziningi kakhulu.

Wayesefika uJoshuwa nabo bonke abantu bempi benaye , babazuma ngasemanzini aseMerome, babadumela.

Impango yonke yale mizi nezinkomo abantwana b akwa-Israyeli baziphangela khona; kepha bachitha bonke abantu ngosiko lwenkemba baze babaqeda; abashiyanga noyedwa ophefumulayo.

Abantu baphendula bathi: Makube kude nathi ukumshiya uJehova ukuba sikhonze abanye onkulunkulu,

ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu nguye owasikhuphula thina nawobaba ezweni laseGibithe, indlu yobugqila, nowazenza lezo zibonakaliso emehlweni ethu, wasilondoloza endleleni yonke esahamba ngayo, naphakathi kwabo bonke abantu esadlula phakathi kwabo.

UJehova waxosha phambi kwethu bonke abantu , nama-Amori futhi ayehlala ezweni ; ngalokho nathi siyakumkhonza uJehova , ngokuba unguNkulunkulu wethu.

Kepha abantu bathi kuJoshuwa: Qha, ngokuba siyakumkhonza uJehova.

Abantu bathi kuJoshuwa : UJehova uNkulunkulu wethu siyakumkhonza , sililalele izwi lakhe.

Wayesethi uJoshuwa kubo abantu bonke : Bhekani, leli tshe liyakuba ngufakazi ngathi, ngokuba lizwile onke amazwi kaJehova awak huluma kithi; ngalokho liyakuba ngufakazi ngani, funa nimphike uNkulunkulu wenu.

UJoshuwa wayesebamukisa abantu, yilowo nalowo waya efeni lakhe.

UJuda wakhuphuka ; uJehova wanikela esandleni sabo amaKhanani namaPherizi, babulala kuwo abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi eBezeki.

Kwathi ingelosi kaJehova isikhulumile lawo mazwi kubo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abantu badazuluka, bakhala.

UJoshuwa esemukisile abantu, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahamba, yilowo nalowo waya efeni lakhe ukuba balidle izwe.

Abantu bamkhonza uJehova izinsuku zonke zikaJoshuwa nezinsuku zonke zamalunga asalayo emva kukaJoshuwa, ayebonile wonke umsebenzi omkhulu ayewenzele u-Israyeli.

Kwathi eseqedile ukumnika isipho, wamukisa abantu ababesithwele isipho.

Babulala kwabakwaMowabi ngaleso sikhathi kungathi abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi abayizidla kela namajaha , akwaphunyuka muntu.

Emva kwakhe kwafika uShamgari indodana ka -Anati owabulala kuwo amaFilisti abantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha ngocijo l wenkabi; naye wasindisa u-Israyeli.

UBaraki wabiza oZebuloni noNafetali ukuba beze eKedeshi ; kwakhuphuka abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi ezinyathelweni zakhe ; naye uDebora wakhuphuka naye.

Ngokuba abaholi beholil e kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba abantu bezinikela ngenhliziyo, bongani uJehova.

Ekwahlukaniseni impango phakath i kwemiqengqe yamanzi balanda khona izenzo ezilungileyo zikaJehova , ukulunga kokubusa kwakhe kwa -Israyeli; khona abantu bakaJehova behlela emasangweni.

Khona wayenza insali ukuba ibus e abakhulu; abantu bakaJehova bangibeka ukuba ngibuse iziqhwaga.

Qalekisani iMerozi , kwasho ingelos i kaJehova; qalekisani nokuqalekisa abantu balo, ngokuba abezanga ukumsiza uJehov a ukuba bamsize uJehova ukulwa neziqhwaga.

Lapho abantu bomuzi bevuka ekuseni kakhulu , bheka, i-altare likaBali lase libhidliziwe, no-Ashera owayengakulo wayegawuliwe , nenkunzi yesibili yayinikelwe phezu kwe-altare elalakhiwe.

Base bethi abantu bomuzi kuJowashi : Khipha indodana yakho ukuba ife , ngokuba ilibhidlizile i -altare likaBali nangokuba imgawul ile u -Ashera owayengakulo.

UJehova wathi kuGideyoni : Abantu abanawe baningi kakhulu ukuba nginikele abakwaMidiyani esandleni sabo , funa u-Israyeli aziqhenye ngakimi ngokuthi: Isandla sami singisindisile.

Ngalokho memeza ezindlebeni zabantu , uthi: Owesabayo ethuthumela makabuye, amuke entabeni yakwaGileyadi ! Kwabuya abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili , kwasala abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi.

UJehova wathi kuGideyoni : Abantu base baningi ; behlisele ngasemanzini , ngikulingele bona khona; kuyakuthi lowo engizakusho ngaye kuwe ukuthi: Lo uzakuhamba nawe , yena aha mbe nawe ; nalowo engizakusho ngaye kuwe ukuthi: Lo akayikuhamba nawe, yena akayikuhamba.

Wayesebehlisela abantu ngasemanzini ; uJehova wathi kuGideyoni : Bonke abaxhapha amanzi ngolimi lwabo njengokuxhapha kwenja babeke bodwa , kanjalo nabo bonke abaguqa ngamadolo ukuba baphuze.

Umumo wabaxhaphayo bebeka isandla emlonyeni wawungamadoda angamakhulu amathathu , kepha bonke abanye abantu baguqa ngamadolo ukuba baphuze amanzi.

Wayesethi uJehova kuGideyoni : Ngalawo madoda amakhulu amathathu axhaphayo ngizakunisi ndisa, ngibanikele abakwaMidiyani esandleni sakho ; bonke abanye abantu mabahambe, yilowo nalowo aye endaweni yakhe.

Abantu base bethatha umphako ngesandla sabo namacilongo abo ; bonke abanye abakwa-Israyeli wabathuma , kwabayilowo nalowo etendeni lakhe , wagcina lawo madoda amakhulu amathathu; ikamu lakwaMidiyani laliphansi kwakhe esigodini.

Abantu bakwa -Efrayimi bathi kuye : Ukwenzeleni lokhu kithina ukuth i awusibizanga lapho uyakulwa nabakwaMidiyani na? Bamkhankatha kakhulu.

Wayesethi kubantu baseSukoti : Ake niphe abantu abangilandelayo izinkwa, ngokuba bayethile, ngisaxosha oZeba noSalimuna amakhosi akwaMidiyani.

Wenyuka lapho , waya ePhenuweli , wakhuluma kubo ngokunjalo ; abantu basePhenuweli bamphendula njengabantu baseSukoti bebephendulile.

Wakhuluma nakubo abantu basePhenuweli , wathi: Ekubuyeni kwami ngiphilile ngizakubhidliza lo mbhoshongo.

OZeba noSalimuna babeseKarkori , izimpi zabo zinabo kungathi abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nanhlanu, bonke ababesele empini yonke yabasempumalanga, ngokuba kwakuwile abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amabili abahloma inkemba.

Wabamba insizwa yabantu baseSukoti , wabuza kuyo ; yona yamlobela izikhulu zaseSukoti namalunga alo , abantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa nesikhombisa.

Wayesebamba amalunga omuzi , nameva asehlane , namazinyo ezinqola zokubhula, wagalela ngawo abantu baseSukoti.

Wawubhidliza umbhoshongo wasePhenuweli, wabulala abantu bomuzi.

Abantu bakwa-Israyeli bathi kuGideyoni : Sibuse, wena nendodana yakho , nendodana yendodana yakho futhi , ngokuba usisindisile esandleni sakwaMidiyani.

Ake nikhulume ezindlebeni zabo bonke abantu baseShekemi, nithi: Yikuphi okuhle kini ukuba onke amadodana kaJerubali angabantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa anibuse nokuba nibuswe n gumuntu munye na ? Khumbulani ukuthi mina ngiyithambo lenu nenyama yenu.

Abafowabo bakanina base bekhuluma ngaye ezindlebeni zabo bonke abantu baseShekemi onke lawo mazwi ; izinhliziyo zabo zathanda ukumlandela u - Abimeleki, ngokuba bathi: Ungumfowethu.

Waya endlini kayise e -Ofira, wabulala abafowabo , amadodana kaJerubali, abantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa etsheni linye , kepha kwasala uJothamu indodana encinyane kaJerubali, ngokuba wacasha.

Bonke abantu baseShekemi bahlangana nabo bonke abaseBeti Milo , baya bambeka u-Abimeleki inkosi ngase-okini letshe lesikhumbuzo elaliseShekemi.

kepha niyivukele namuhla indlu kababa , nibulele amadodana akhe, abantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa etsheni linye , nimbekile u -Abimeleki indodana yesigqilakazi sakhe inkosi yabaseShekemi ngokuba engumfowenu;

kepha uma kungenjalo , makuphume umlilo ku -Abimeleki, uqede abantu baseShekemi neBeti Milo , umlilo uphume nakubantu baseShekemi naseBeti Milo, umqede u-Abimeleki.

UGali indodana ka-Ebedi wathi: Ngubani u-Abimeleki, ngubani uShekemi, ukuba simkhonze, na? Akasiyo indodana kaJerubali, noZebule yinduna yakhe na? Khonzani abantu bakaHamori uyise kaShekemi. Thina siyakumkhonzelani yena na?

U-Abimeleki nabo bonke abantu ababenaye basuka ebusuku , baqamekela iShekemi ngezigaba ezine.

Lapho uGali ebona abantu , wathi kuZebule : Bheka, kwehla abantu eziqongweni zezintaba . UZebule wathi kuye : Uyabona amathunzi ezintaba kungathi ngabantu.

UGali wabuye wakhuluma, wathi: Bheka, kwehla abantu eNkabeni yezwe , esinye isigaba sifika ngendlela ye-oki lokuhlola imihlola.

Kwathi ngangomuso abantu baya endle, bamtshela u-Abimeleki.

Wathatha abantu , wabahlukanisela izigaba ezintathu , waqamekela endle ; wabheka, nampa abantu bephuma emzini; wabavukela, wababulala.

U-Abimeleki walwa nomuzi lonke lolo suku ; wawuthatha umuzi, wabulala abantu ababekuwo, wawubhidliza umuzi, wahlwanyela usawoti kuwo.

Bonke abantu bagawula , kwaba yilowo nalowo igatsha lakhe kanjalo , bamlandela u-Abimeleki, bawabeka enqabeni, bayithungela inqaba ngomlilo phezu kwabo ; bafa bonke abantu abasembhoshongweni waseShekemi , kungathi abayinkulungwane, abesilisa nabesifazane.

Wayeseshesha ebiza udibi olwaluphethe izikhali zakhe , wathi kulo: Hosha inkemba yakho, ungibulale ukuba abantu bangasho ngami ukuthi: Wabulawa ngowesifazane. Udibi lwakhe lwase lumgwaza, wafa.

Kwathi abantu bakwa -Israyeli bebonile ukuthi u -Abimeleki ufile , bamuka baya, kwaba yilowo nalowo endaweni yakhe.

Abantu, izikhulu zakwaGileyadi , bathi omunye komunye : Ngumuphi umuntu oyakuqala ukulwa nabantwana bakwa -Amoni na ? Yena uyakuba yinhloko yabo bonke abakhe kwaGileyadi.

UJefta wayesehamba namalunga akwaGileyadi ; abantu bamenza inhloko nomholi phezu kwabo ; uJefta wakhuluma onke amazwi akhe phambi kukaJehova eMispa.

Kodwa uSihoni akamethembanga u -Israyeli ukuba adabule emkhawulweni wakhe; kepha uSihoni wabutha bonke abantu bak he, wamisa eJahasi, walwa no-Israyeli.

UJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli wan ikela uSihoni nabo bonke abantu bakhe esandleni sakwa -Israyeli, bababulala; u-Israyeli wadla izwe lonke lama-Amori, abantu balelo zwe.

UJefta wayesebutha bonke abantu bakwaGileyadi , walwa no -Efrayimi; abantu b akwaGileyadi bamahlula u -Efrayimi, ngokuba bathi : Ningababalekileyo bakwa-Efrayimi nina bakwaGileyadi phakathi kwabakwa - Efrayimi naphakathi kwabakwaManase.

AbakwaGileyadi bavimba amazibuko aseJordani phambi kwabakwa - Efrayimi; kwathi lapho ababalekileyo ba kwa-Efrayimi bethi : Mangiwele, abantu bakwaGileyadi bathi kuye: Ungowakwa-Efrayimi na? Uma ethi: Cha,

Uyise nonina base bethi kuye : Akakho yini owesifazane phakathi kwamadodakazi abafowenu noma phakathi kwabo bonke abantu bami, ukuze uye kuthatha umfazi kumaFilisti angasokile , na? USamsoni wathi kuyise : Ngithathele yena, ngokuba uyathandeka kimi.

Abantu bom uzi bathi kuye ngosuku lwesikhombisa , lingakashoni ilanga : Kuyini okumnandi kunezinyosi ? Kuyini okunamandla kunengonyama na ? Wathi kubo: Uma beningalimanga ngesithokazi sami , ngabe ningayiqandelanga imfumbe yami.

UMoya kaJehova wafika kuye ngamandla , wehlela e-Ashikeloni, wabulala abantu abangamashumi amathathu kubo , wathatha isambatho sabo , wabanika abayiqandele imfumbe izingubo zokuphendulela. Intukuthelo yakhe yavutha, wenyukela endlini kayise.

Abantu bakwaJuda bathi : Nisikhuphukeleleni na ? Bathi: Sikhuphukele ukuba simbophe uSamsoni, senze kuye njengalokho enze kithina.

Abantu abayizinkulungwane ezintathu bakwaJuda behlela ofantwini lwedwala lase -Etamu, bathi kuSamsoni : Awukwazi yini ukuthi amaFilisti abusa phezu kwethu na ? Kuyini, pho, lokho okwenzile kithina na ? Wathi kubo: Njengalokho benza kimi, ngenze njalo kubo.

Wafumana umhlathi wembongolo osemusha , welula isandla sakhe , wawuthatha, wabulala ngawo abantu abayinkulungwane.

Wathi uSamsoni : Ngomhlathi wembongolo ngibulele inqwaba , yebo, izinqwaba ezimbili, ngomhlathi wembongolo abantu abayinkulungwane.

Abantu bambona, bamtusa unkulunkulu wabo, ngokuba bathi: Unkulunkulu wethu unikele esandleni sethu isitha sethu nomchithi wezwe lakithi obulele abaningi phakathi kwethu.

Indlu yayigcwele abesilisa nabesifazane ; namakhosi onke amaFilisti ayelapho; ophahleni kwakukhona abantu kungathi abayizinkulungwane ezintathu, abesilisa nabesifazane, ababebukela ukudlala kukaSamsoni.

USamsoni wathi: Mangife namaFilisti. Wakhothama ngamandla akhe onke, indlu yawela phezu kwamakhosi naphezu kwabo bonke abantu ababe kuyo . Abafileyo ababulalayo ekufeni kwakhe babebaningi kunabo ababulalayo ekuhambeni kwakhe.

Abantwana bakwaDani bathuma abantu abayisihlanu bomn deni wabo , bephuma kuso sonke isizwe sabo , amaqhawe, beseSora nase -Eshitawoli, ukuba bahlole izwe , balicinge; bathi kubo: Hambani, nilicinge izwe, bafika ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi endlini kaMika, bahlala khona.

Base bemuka labo bantu abayisihlanu , bafika eLayishi , babona abantu abakulo ukuthi basahlala belondekile ngendl ela yamaSidoni , benokuthula, bengenaluvalo, ngokuba kwakungekho ezweni onamandla ukuba abajabhise ngalutho; babekude namaSidoni, bengenandaba nabanye abantu.

Kwase kuphuma lapho kumndeni wakwaDani eSora nase -Eshitawoli abantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha bebhincile izikhali zokulwa.

Abantu abayisihlanu ababeyile ukuhlola izwe laseLayishi base bephendula, bathi kubafowabo : Niyazi yini ukuthi kukho na kulezi zindlu ingubo yamahlombe, namatherafi, nesithombe esibaziweyo , nesithombe esibunjiweyo na? Ngalokho cabangani manje ukuthi niyakwenzani.

Abantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha bebhince izikhali zokulwa abangabantwana bakwaDani bema ngasesikhaleni sesango.

Abantu abayisihlanu ababeyile ukuhlola izwe benyuka , bafika lapho , basithatha isithombe esibaziweyo , nengubo yamahlombe , namatherafi, nesithombe esibunjiweyo ; umpristi wema ngasesikhaleni sesango kanye nabantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha bebhince izikhali zokulwa.

Sebekude nendlu kaMika abantu abasezindlini eziseduze nendlu kaMika babuthana, babafica abantwana bakwaDani.

Abantwana bakwaDani base beth i kuye : Izwi lakho malingezwakali phakathi kwethu , funa abantu bathukuthele , banehlele, ulahlekelwe ngukuphila kwakho kanye nabendlu yakho.

Kwakungekho owophulayo, ngokuba wawukude neSidoni; babengenandaba nabanye abantu ; wawusesigodini esingaseBeti Rehobe. Bawakha umuzi , bahlala kuwo.

Bheka, kwafika ixhegu livela emsebenzini walo ensimini kusihlwa ; lalingumuntu wasezintabeni zakwa -Efrayimi, lagogobala eGibeya ; kepha abantu baleyo ndawo babe ngabakwaBenjamini.

Besajabulisa izinhliziyo zabo, bheka, abantu bomuzi, abantu ababi, bahaqa indlu nxazonke, bangqongqotha emnyango ; basho kum ninindlu, ixhegu, bathi: Khipha lowo muntu owangena endlini yakho ukuba simazi.

Kepha abantu kabavumanga ukumlalela; khona lowo muntu wasibamba isancinza sakhe , wasikhiphela kubo ; basazi, basona ubusuku bonke kwaze kwaba sekuseni; ekuthatheni kokusa basiyeka.

Izinhloko zabantu bonke , izizwe zonke zakwa -Israyeli, zafika ebandleni labantu bakaNkulunkulu , abantu abayimigundatshani ; abayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane, abahlome inkemba.

Abantu baseGibeya bangivukela, bahaqa indlu nxazonke zami ebusuku ; bacabanga ukungibulala mina, nesancinza sami basona; sesifile.

Bonke abantu bavuka njengomuntu munye, bathi: Asiyikuya, sisho namunye etendeni lakhe; asiyikuphambukela sisho namunye endlini yakhe.

sithathe abantu abayishumi ekhulwini kuzo zonke izizwe zakwa -Israyeli, nabayikhulu enkulungwaneni , nabayinkulungwane ezinkulungwaneni eziyishumi, ukuba balande ukudla kwabantu , nalapho sebefike eGibeya lakwaBenjamini benze ngokobuwula ababenzile kwa-Israyeli.

Abantu bonke bakwa-Israyeli babehlanganyele umuzi, bebumbene kungathi ngumuntu munye.

Izizwe zakwa-Israyeli zathuma abantu emindenini yonke yakwaBenjamini , zathi: Ububi buni lobu obenziwe phakathi kwenu na?

Ngalokho khiphani labo bantu , abantu ababi , abaseGibeya, ukuba sibabulale, sixoshe ububi kwa -Israyeli. Kepha uBenjamini kavumanga ukulalela izwi labafowabo, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Abantu bakwa -Israyeli ngaphandle kukaBenjamini babalwa baba yizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane , amadoda ahlome inkemba ; bonke labo babe ngamadoda empi.

Abantu bakwa-Israyeli baphuma ukuba balwe noBenjamini ; abantu bakwa- Israyeli bazihlelela ukulwa nabo eGibeya.

Abantu, amadoda akwa-Israyeli, baziqinisa, babuye bahlela impi endaweni abazihlela kuyo ngosuku lokuqala.

Base bekhuphuka bonke abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, abantu bonke, bafika eBethele, bakhala, bahlala khona phambi kukaJehova , bazila ukudla ngalolo suku kwaze kwahlwa ; banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa nangeminikelo yokuthula phambi kukaJehova.

Abantwana bakwaBenjamini baphuma ukulwa nabantu , badonswa, baphuma emzini ; baqala ukubulala nokuceka abantu njengakwezinye izikhathi emendweni, omunye okhuphukela eBethele , omunye oya eGibeya ensimini, kungathi amadoda angamashumi amathathu kwa-Israyeli.

Bonke abantu bakwa -Israyeli basuka endaweni yabo , bazihlela eBali Tamari; abaqamekeli bakwa -Israyeli bavumbuluka endaweni yabo eMare Geba.

Kweza malungana neGibeya abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi abakhethiweyo kuye wonke u-Israyeli; ukulwa kwakunzima, kepha babengazi ukuthi ingozi isifikile kubo.

Abantu bakwa -Israyeli babuyela emuva empini ; uBenjamini wayeseqalile ukubulala nokuceka kubantu bakwa -Israyeli kungathi abantu abangamashumi amathathu, ngokuba bathi: Impela babulewe phambi kwethu njengasekulweni kwakuqala.

Base bephenduka abantu bakwa -Israyeli, nabantu bakwaBenjamini bashaywa luvalo, ngokuba babona ukuthi behlelwe ngububi.

Kwawa abantu bakwaBenjamini abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili; bonke labo babe ngamaqhawe.

Baphenduka babalekela ehlane edwaleni lakwaRimon i; bakhothoza kubo emendweni abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyisihlanu , babaxosha kwaze kwabaseGideyomu, babulala kubo abantu abayizinkulungwane ezimbili.

Abantu base befika eBethele , bahlala khona kwaze kwahlwa phambi kukaNkulunkulu, baphakamisa izwi labo, bakhala kakhulu.

Kwathi ngakusasa abantu bavuka ekuseni , bakha khona i -altare, banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa neminikelo yokuthula.

Sebebalwa abantu ; bheka, kwakungekho muntu kwabakhile eJabeshi Gileyadi lapho.

Inhlangano yathuma khona abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili abangamaqhawe amakhulu , yabayala yathi: Hambani nibabulale abakhe eJabeshi Gileyadi ngosiko lwenkemba kanye nabesifazane nezingane.

Abantu bamhawukela uBenjamini, ngokuba uJehova wayenze ukwahlukana ezizweni zakwa-Israyeli.

Wayesesuka nawomalokazana bakhe ukuba abuye ezweni lakwaMowabi , ngokuba wayezwile ezweni lakwaMowabi ukuthi uJehova uhambele abantu bakhe ukuba abaphe ukudla.

Kepha uRuthe wathi : Ungangincengi ukuba ngikushiye , ngibuye, ngingakulandeli, ngokuba lapho uya khona , ngiyakuya khona nami, nalapho uhlala khona , ngiyakuhlala khona nami ; abantu bakho bayakuba ngabantu bami, uNkulunkulu wakho abe nguNkulunkulu wami.

AmaFilisti azihlela ukuhlangana no -Israyeli; impi yaqhubeka, u-Israyeli wahlulwa phambi kwamaFilisti abulala empini ngasendle kungathi abantu abayizinkulungwane ezine.

Kwathi abantu bengena ekamu , amalunga akwa -Israyeli athi : UJehova usibulaleleni phambi kwamaFilisti na ? Masithathe umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova eShilo , siwulethe kithi , ufike phakathi kwethu , usisindise esandleni sezitha zethu.

Abantu abangafanga bashaywa ngamathumba ; ukukhala komuzi kwenyukela ezulwini.

Abantu benze njalo ; bathatha izinkomo ezimbili ezincelisayo , bazibophela enqoleni, bazivalela amankonyane azo ekhaya,

Kusasa ngalesi sikhath i ngiyakuthuma kuwe umuntu wasezweni lakwaBenjamini; uyakumgcoba abe ngumholi wabantu bami u -Israyeli, asindise abantu bami esandleni samaFilisti , ngokuba ngibonile abantu bami , lokhu ukukhala kwabo kufikile kimi.

USamuweli esembonile uSawule , uJehova wa thi kuye : Nangu umuntu engakhuluma ngaye kuwe, ngathi: Lo uyakubusa abantu bami.

Umpheki waphakamisa umlenze nokwakuphezu kwawo, wawubeka phambi kukaSawule. USamuweli wathi: Nakhu ohlinzekwe ngakho. Kubeke phambi kwakho, udle, ngokuba kugcinelwe wena kuze kufike lesi sikhathi , njengalokho ngit he ngimemile abantu . USawule wayesedla noSamuweli ngalolo suku.

Kepha abantu ababi bathi : Uyakusisindisa kanjani lowo na ? Bamdelela, abamnikanga isipho. Kepha wathula.

Kwenyuka uNahashi wakwa-Amoni, wamisa eJabeshi Gileyadi ; bonke abantu baseJabeshi bathi kuNahashi : Yenza isivumelwano nathi , siyakukukhonza.

Izithunywa zafika eGibeya likaSawule , zakhuluma lawo mazwi ezindlebe ni zabantu; bonke abantu badazuluka, bakhala.

Ngalokho abantu baseJabeshi bathi: Kusasa siyakuphumela kini, nenze kithi konke okuhle emehlweni enu.

Kwathi ngangomuso uSawule waviva abantu ngezigaba ezintathu ; bafika phakathi kwekamu ngomlindo wokusa , babulala abakwa-Amoni, laze lashisa ilanga; kwathi abaseleyo bahlakazeka, akusalanga kubo ababili bendawonye.

Bonke abantu bathi kuSamuweli : Khulekela izinceku zakho kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukuba singafi, ngokuba senezele kuzo zonke izono zethu ububi bokuzicelela inkosi.

Ngokuba uJehova akayikushiya abantu bakhe ngenxa yegama lakhe elikhulu, lokhu kwakukuhle kuJehova ukuzenzela nina nibe ngabantu bakhe.

USawule wazikhethela abantu abayizinkulungwane ezintathu kwa -Israyeli; izinkulungwane ezimbili zazinoSawule eMikimashi nasentabeni yaseBetlehema, nenkulungwane yayinoJonathani eGibeya lakwaBenjamini ; abanye abantu wabamukisa, kwaba yilowo nalowo etendeni lakhe.

Lapho abantu bakwa -Israyeli bebona ukuthi basengcingweni , ngokuba bacindezelwa kakhulu , abantu bacasha emihumeni , nasemahlozini, nasemaweni, nasezinqabeni, nasemigodini.

NamaHeberu ayewelile iJordani ukuya ezweni lakwaGadi nakwelakwaGileyadi; kepha uSawule wayeseseGiligali ; abantu bonke bamlandela bethuthumela. USawule unikela ngokungengamthetho

Wahlala izinsuku eziyisikhombis a njengesikhathi esimisiwe nguSamuweli , kepha uSamuweli akafikanga eGiligali; abantu bahlakazeka kuye.

USamuweli wathi : Wenzeni na ? USawule wathi : Njengokuba ngabona ukuthi abantu bahlakazekile kimi , nokuthi awufikanga ngesikhathi esimisiweyo, nokuthi amaFilisti abuthene eMikimashi,

USamuweli wayesesuka , wakhuphuka eGiligali , waya eGibeya lakwaBenjamini. USawule wabala abantu abafumaniseka bekuye , kungathi abantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha.

Abantu basekhandeni bamphendula uJonathani nodibi lwakhe , bathi: Khuphukelani kithi , siyakunifundisa indaba . UJonathani wayesethi odibini oluphethe izikhali zakhe : Khuphuka emva kwami , ngokuba uJehova ubanikele esandleni sakwa-Israyeli.

USawule nabo bonke abantu ababe naye babuthana, baya ekulweni; bheka, yilowo nalowo washaya omunye ngenkemba , kwaba khona ukungquzuka okukhulu kakhulu.

Abantu bonke bakwa -Israyeli ababecashile ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi sebezwile ukuthi amaFilisti abaleka, nabo bawaxosha ekulweni.

Abantu bakwa -Israyeli babecindezelwa ngalolo suku , kepha uSawule wafungisa abantu, wathi: Makaqalekiswe umuntu odla ukudla kungakahlwi , ngingakaziphindiseli ezitheni zami. Akwabakho muntu owezwa ukudla.

Abantu bonke beza ehlathini; kwakukhona izinyosi phansi.

Abantu sebengenile ehlathini , bheka, izinyosi zaconsa, kepha akwabakho muntu obeka isandla emlonyeni, ngokuba abantu besaba isifungo.

Kepha uJonathani akezwanga lapho uyise efungisa abantu; ngalokho welula isihloko senduku esesandleni sakhe , wasicwilisa ezinyosini, wabeka isandla emlonyeni; ayeseqabuka amehlo akhe.

Kwase kuthatha omunye wa bantu, wathi: Uyihlo wabafungisa nokubafungisa abantu , ethi: M akaqalekiswe umuntu odla ukudla namuhla . Abantu babephelile amandla.

Kakhulu kangakanani, uma abantu bebedlile impela impango yezitha zabo abayifumanayo, ngokuba nga engabulawanga kakhulu amaFilisti na?

Babulala amaFilisti ngalolo suku kusukela eMikimashi kuze kube se-Ajaloni; abantu baphela amandla kakhulu.

Abantu batheleka empangweni , bathatha izimvu , nezinkabi, namankonyane, bakubulalela phansi; abantu bakudla kanye negazi.

Ngalokho uSawule wathi kuJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli: Malivele iqiniso. OJonathani noSawule badliwa yinkatho, kepha abantu baphunyuka.

Abantu bathi kuSawule: Uyakufa yini uJonathani okwenzile lokho kusindisa okukhulu kwa-Israyeli na? Makube kude; kuphila kukaJehova, akuyikuwela phansi nolulodwa unwele lwekhanda lakhe , ngokuba usebenzile noNkulunkulu namuhla. Abantu bamhlenga ukuba angafi. USawule uyalwa nezizwe eziningi

USawule wayesebiza abantu , wababala eThelayimi , izinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili zemigundatshani nezinkulungwane eziyishumi zabantu bakwaJuda.

Wabamba u-Agagi inkosi yama -Amaleki esaphilile, wachitha impela bonke abantu ngosiko lwenkemba.

USawule wathi : Babuye nazo kuma -Amaleki, ngokuba abantu bayeka ezinhle zezimvu nezezinkabi ukuba bahlabele uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ; ezinye siziqedile nya.

Kepha abantu bathatha kuyo impango , izimvu nezinkabi , okuhle kokuqalekisiweyo, ukuba bahlabele uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho eGiligali.

Wayesethi: Ngonile, kepha ake ungituse manje phambi kwamalunga abantu bami naphambi kuka-Israyeli, ubuye nami ukuba ngikhuleke kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.

USawule nabo bonke abantu bakwa -Israyeli base besesigodini sase -Ela, belwa namaFilisti.

Bonke abantu bakwa -Israyeli sebebonile lo muntu bambalekela , besaba kakhulu.

Abantu bakwa -Israyeli bathi : Nimbonile lowo muntu o wenyukile na ? Ngokuba wenyukile ukuyakweyisa u-Israyeli; kuyakuthi umuntu ombulalayo, inkosi imcebise ngengcebo enkulu , imnike indodakazi yayo , iyenze indlu kayise ibe ngekhululekile kwa-Israyeli.

Abantu bamphendula ngalona lelo zwi ; bathi-ke: Kuyakwenziwa kanjalo kumuntu ombulalayo.

Wamfulathela, wabheka komunye , wakhuluma lona lelo zwi ; abantu bamphendula njengakuqala.

Abantu bakwa -Israyeli nabakwaJuda basuka bakhamuluka , bawaxosha amaFilisti kwaze kwaba seGayi nasemasangweni ase -Ekroni. Abalimeleyo bamaFilisti bawa ngasendleleni eya eShaharayimi, kwaze kwaba seGati nase- Ekroni.

UDavide waphuma , waya nomaphi lapho uSawule emthuma khona , waziphatha ngokuhlakanipha ; uSawule wambeka phezu kwamadoda empi ; wayemuhle emehlweni abantu bonke nasemehlweni ezinceku zikaSawule.

Kwabuthana kuye bonke abanosizi, nabo bonke abanesikwenetu, nabo bonke abanenhliziyo enomunyu , waba yinduna phezu kwabo ; kwakukhona naye kungathi abantu abangamakhulu amane.

Inkosi yathi kuDowegi : Sondela wena , usukele abapristi . UDowegi wabakwa-Edomi wasondela , wabasukela abapristi , wabulala ngalolo suku abantu abangamashumi ayisishiyagalombili nanhlanu , abembethe ingubo yamahlombe yelineni.

UDavide wathi ku-Abiyathara: Ngazi ngalolo suku mhla uDowegi wakwa - Edomi elapho ukuthi uyakumtshela nokumtshela uSawule ; yimi engibangele ukuba bafe abantu bonke bendlu kayihlo.

Abantu bakaDavide bathi kuye : Bheka, siyesaba lapha kwaJuda ; kakhulu kangakanani, uma siya eKeyila, silwe nezimpi zamaFilisti na?

USawule wabiza abantu bonke , baye empini, behlele eKeyila, bavimbezele uDavide nabantu bakhe.

Abantu baseKeyila bayakungikhaphela yini esandleni sakhe na ? USawule uyakwehla njengalokho inceku yakho izwile na ? Jehova Nkulunkulu ka - Israyeli, ake uyitshele inceku yakho. Wathi uJehova: Uyakwehla.

Wayesethi uDavide : Abantu baseKeyila bayakungikhaphela mina nabantu bami esandleni sikaSawule na? Wathi uJehova: Bayakukukhaphela.

USawule wayesethatha abantu abayizinkulungwane ezintathu abakhethiweyo kuye wonke u-Israyeli, wahamba ukumfuna uDavide nabantu bakhe emaDwaleni amaGogo.

Abantu bakaDavide bathi kuye : Bheka, nantu usuku uJehova asho ngalo kuwe ukuthi: Bheka, ngiyakunikela isitha sakho esandleni sakho, wenze kuso okuhle emehlweni akho . Wayesesuka uDavide , wasika ngasese umphetho wengubo kaSawule.

UDavide wathi kuSawule: Ulalelelani amazwi abantu abathi: Bheka, uDavide ufuna ukukulimaza ?

Ngithathe yini isinkwa sami , namanzi ami, nengikuhlabele abagundi bami, ngikuphe abantu engingabazi ukuthi bavelaphi, na?

UDavide wathi kubantu bakhe : Bhincani, kube yilowo nalowo inkemba yakhe. Zabhinca-ke, kwaba yilowo nalowo inkemba yak he; naye uDavide wabhinca inkemba yakhe ; kwakhuphuka emva kukaDavide abantu kungathi abangamakhulu amane, kepha abangamakhulu amabili bahlala empahleni.

UDavide wasuka , weza endaweni uSawule amise kuyo ; uDavide wabona indawo uSawule ahlala kuyo , eno-Abineri indodana kaNeri , induna yempi yakhe; uSawule wayelele ezinqoleni, abantu bemise ngakuye nxazonke.

UDavide wabiza abantu no -Abineri indodana kaNeri , ethi: Awusabeli, Abineri, na? U-Abineri wayesesabela ethi: Ungubani wena obiza inkosi na?

UDavide wayehlupheka kakhulu , ngokuba abantu bekhuluma ngokumkhanda ngamatshe , lokhu izinhliziyo zabo bonke abantu zazinomunyu, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngenxa yamadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe ; kepha uDavide waziqinisa kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

UDavide wafika kulabo bantu abangamakhulu amabili ababezukekile , bengenakumlandela uDavide , ababebahlalisile ngasemfudlaneni iBesori ; baphuma ukumhlangabeza uDavide nokuhlangabeza abantu ababenaye ; uDavide esesondela kubantu wababingelela.

Uma uth i: Bheka, besingakwazi, akakuqondi yini olinganisa izinhliziyo , nolonda umphefumulo wakho akakwazi , na? Futhi akayikuphindisela bonke abantu ngokwemisebenzi yabo na?

Oshoyo komubi ukuthi : Ulungile, lowo abantu bayakumqalekisa , nezizwe ziyakumthukuthelela.

Base bethatha bonke abantu ab abi nabonakeleyo kulabo ababehamba noDavide, bathi: Njengokuba bengahambanga nathi , asiyikubanika lutho empangweni esiyikhululile , kuphela ukuba yileyo naleyo ndoda inikwe umkayo nabantwana bayo, bamuke nabo, bahambe.

AmaFilisti alwa no-Israyeli; abantu bakwa -Israyeli babaleka phambi kwamaFilisti, bawa begwaziwe entabeni yaseGilibowa.

Wafa-ke uSawule namadodana akhe omathathu, nodibi lwakhe, nabo bonke abantu bakhe ngalolo suku kanyekanye.

Lapho abantu bakwa -Israyeli ababe ngaphesheya kwesigodi nalabo ababe ngaphesheya kweJordani bebona ukuthi abantu bakwa -Israyeli babaleka nokuthi uSawule namadodana akhe bafile, bashiya imizi, babaleka; amaFilisti afika, ahlala kuyo.

UDavide wayesethi kuye : Bekunjani na ? Ake ungitshele . Wathi: Abantu babalekile empini , nabantu abani ngi bawile , bafa; oSawule noJonathani indodana yakhe bafile nabo.

Abantu bakhe ababe noDavide wabenyusa , kwaba yilowo nalowo nomuzi wakhe; bahlala emizaneni yaseHebroni.

Bafika abantu bakwaJuda , bamgcoba khona uDavide abe yinkosi yendlu yakwaJuda. Bamtshela uDavide ukuthi : Abantu baseJabesh i Gileyadi yibo abammbela uSawule.

U-Abineri wayesememeza kuJowabe , wathi: Inkemba iyakudla njalonjalo na? Awazi yini ukuthi kuyakuba khona umunyu ekugcineni na ? Koze kube nini ungabayali abantu ukuba babuye ekubalandeleni abafowabo na?

UJowabe wathi : Kuphila kukaNkulunkulu , uma ubungakhulumanga , ngempela abantu bonke bebeyakube sebenyukile kusasa ekuxosheni abafowabo.

UJowabe wayesebetha icilongo; bonke abantu bema, ababe besamxosha u- Israyeli, futhi ababe besalwa.

UJowabe wabuya ekumxosheni u -Abineri; lapho esebuthile bonke abantu , kwasilala kuzo izinceku zi kaDavide abantu abayishumi nesishiyagalolunye no-Asaheli.

Kepha izinceku zikaDavide zazibulele abakwaBenjamini nabaka -Abineri, kwafa abantu abangamakhulu amathathu namashumi ayisithupha.

kwenzeni lokho manje , ngokuba uJehov a ukhulumile ngoDavide ukuthi : Ngesandla senceku yami uDavide ngiyakusindisa abantu bami u -Israyeli esandleni samaFilisti nasesandleni sazo zonke izitha zabo.

Izandla zakho zazingaboshiwe , nezinyawo zakho zazingafakwanga emaketangeni; wawa njengomuntu owayo phambi kwabantu ababi . Bonke abantu baphinda bemkhalela.

Bonke abantu bakubona , kwaba kuhle emehlweni abo , njengalokho konke eyakwenza inkosi kwaba kuhle emehlweni abantu bonke.

Base beqonda bonke abantu naye wonke u -Israyeli ngalolo suku ukuthi kwakungesikho okwenkosi ukubulala u-Abineri indodana kaNeri.

kakhulu kangakanani, lapho abantu ababi bebulele umuntu olungileyo endlini yakhe embhedeni wakhe , angiyikubiza igazi lakhe esandleni senu , nginisuse emhlabeni, na?

Ngesikhathi esidlulileyo , uSawule eseyinkosi phezu kwethu , nguwe owakhipha nowangenisa u-Israyeli; uJehova wathi kuwe : Wena uyakwalusa abantu bami u-Israyeli, wena uyakuba ngumbusi wakwa-Israyeli.

UDavide wahamba nabo bonke abantu ababe naye , besuka eBali Juda ukwenyusa khona umphongolo kaNkulunkulu obizwa ngeGama , lona igama likaJehova Sebawoti ohlala phezu kwamakherubi.

UDavide eseqedile ukunikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa nangeminikelo yokuthula wabusisa abantu egameni likaJehova Sebawoti.

Wababela bonke abantu esixukwini sonke sakwa -Israyeli, abesilisa nabesifazane, kwaba yilowo nalowo ucezu lwesinkwa , nesicubu senyama , nesigaxa sezithelo zomvini ezomileyo . Base behamba abantu bonke , baya, kwaba yilowo nalowo ekhaya lakubo.

Ezindaweni zonke engihambahambe kuzo nakubo bonke abantwana bakwa - Israyeli ngake ngakhuluma yini izwi noma kusiphi isizwe sakwa -Israyeli engasiyaleza ukwalusa abantu bami u -Israyeli ukuthi: Aningakhelanga ngani indlu yemisedari na?

Ngiyakumisela abantu bami u -Israyeli indawo, ngibatshale ukuba bahlale endaweni yabo , bangabe besanyakaziswa ; futhi abantu ababi abasayikubahlupha njengakuqala,

Wazimisela ukuba abantu bakho u-Israyeli babe ngabantu bakho kuze kube phakade, wena Jehova ube nguNkulunkulu wabo.

Ama-Aramu aseDamaseku esefika ukumsiza uHadadezeri inkosi yaseSoba , uDavide wabulala abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili kuma-Aramu.

UDavide wabusa phezu kuka -Israyeli wonke , uDavide waphatha ukwahlulela nokulunga kubo bonke abantu bakhe.

abantu abaseleyo wababeka esandleni sika -Abishayi umfowabo, wabahlela ukuba balwe nabantwana bakwa-Amoni.

Abantu bomuzi baphuma balwa noJowabe ; kwawa abantu abathile ezincekwini zikaDavide; wafa naye u-Uriya umHeti.

Ngalokho butha abantu abaseleyo, umise ngakuwo umuzi, uwuthathe, funa mina ngiwuthathe umuzi, ubizwe ngegama lami.

UDavide wayesebutha bonke abantu, waya eRaba, walwa nalo, walithatha.

Wakhipha nabantu ababe phakathi kwawo , wababeka emasaheni , nasezibhuqweni zensimbi, nasemazembeni ensimbi, wabasebenzisa kohonela; wenze njalo kuyo yonke imizi yakwa-Amoni. UDavide nabo bonke abantu babuyela eJerusalema.

Wayesethatha ikhanzi, wawathulula phambi kwakhe; kepha wala ukudla. U- Amnoni wathi: Khipha bonke abantu kimi. Baphuma bonke kuye.

Kepha u-Abisalomu wabaleka. Insizwa elindayo yaphakamisa amehlo ayo , yabuka; bheka, kwaqhamuka abantu abaningi ngasendleleni yentaba emva kwayo.

Ngalokho-ke lokhu ngize ukukhuluma leli zwi enkosini yami , inkosi, kungokuba abantu bengesabisile ; incekukazi yakho yayisithi: Mangikhulume enkosini; mhlawumbe inkosi iyakwenza izwi lencekukazi yayo.

Kwahamba no -Abisalomu abantu abangamakhulu amabili , bebiziwe bephuma eJerusalema; bahamba bemsulwa, bengazi lutho nakanci.

U-Abisalomu wathuma walanda u-Ahithofeli umGiloni, umluleki kaDavide, emzini wakubo waseGilo, esanikela ngemihlatshelo. Uzungu lwaqina, abantu banda njalo ku-Abisalomu. Ukubaleka kukaDavide

Yaphuma-ke inkosi, bonke abantu beyilandela; bahlala eBeti Hamerhaki.

Zonke izinceku zadlula eceleni kwakhe kanye nawo onke amaKhereti nawo onke amaPheleti ; nawo onke amaGiti , abantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha , ayeyilandela esuka eGati, adlula phambi kwenkosi.

UDavide wathi ku -Ithayi: Hamba, uwele. U-Ithayi umGiti wawela kanye nabo bonke abantu bakhe nazo zonke izingane ezazinaye.

Bheka, kwafika noSadoki nawo onke amaLevi enaye , ethwele umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu; abeka phansi umphongolo kaNkulunkulu, u- Abiyathara wenyuka, baze baphuma bonke abantu emzini.

UDavide wenyuka ngommango weNtaba Yeminqumo , enyuka ekhala , egubuzele ikhanda , engenazicathulo; bonke abantu ababenaye bagubuzela , kwabayilowo nalowo ikhanda lakhe, benyuka, benyuka bekhala.

Wamphonsa uDavide ngamatshe kanye nezinceku zonke zenko si uDavide , bonke abantu nawo onke amaqhawe bengasesandleni sakhe sokunene nangakwesokhohlo.

Inkosi nabo bonke abantu ababenayo bafika beyethile; wahlunyelelwa khona.

U-Ahithofeli wathi futhi ku -Abisalomu: Mangikhethe manje abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili , ngisuke ngimxoshe uDavide ngalobu busuku,

ngimfikele ekhathele , eyethile, ngimesabise; bonke abantu abanye bayakubaleka, ngibulale inkosi kuphela,

ngibuyisele kuwe bonke abantu ; umuntu omfunayo unjengokungathi bonke babuyile; bonke abantu bayakuba nokuthula.

Bheka, manje ucashile emgodini noma kwenye indawo ; kuyakuthi lapho esebafikela ekuqaleni nje , okuzwayo athi : Abantu abalandela u -Abisalomu banqotshiwe;

UDavide wayesesuka nabo bonke abantu ababe naye , bawela iJordani ; ngasekuseni akusalanga noyedwa ongaliwelanga iJordani.

UDavide wayesefika eMahanayimi . U-Abisalomu waliwela iJordani , yena nabo bonke abantu bakwa-Israyeli kanye naye.

nezinyosi, namangqanga, nezimvu, noshizi wezinkomo kuDavide nabantu ababe naye ukuba badle , ngokuba bathi : Abantu balambile , bakhathele, bomile ehlane.

UDavide wabala abantu ababe naye , wabeka phezu kwabo izinduna zezinkulungwane nezinduna zamakhulu.

UDavide wamukisa abantu , inxenye yesithathu iphansi kwesandla sikaJowabe, nenxenye yesithathu iphansi kwesandla sika -Abishayi indodana kaSeruya, umfowabo kaJowabe, nenxenye yesithathu iphansi kwesandla sika- Ithayi umGiti. Inkosi yathi kubantu: Nami ngiyakuphuma nokuphuma nani.

Kepha abantu bathi : Awuyikuphuma, ngokuba uma sibaleka, abayikusinakekela; noma kufa inxenye yethu , abayikusikhathalela, kepha wena unjengezinkulungwane eziyishumi zethu; ngalokho kuhle ukuba usisize usemzini.

Yayisithi inkosi kubo : Okuhle emehlweni enu ngiyakukwenza . Inkosi yema ngaseceleni kwesango , bonke abantu baphuma ngamakhulu nangezinkulungwane.

Kepha kwathi ngenyanga yesikhombisa wafika u -Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya ka -Elishama wozalo lwenkosi , abantu abayishumi benaye , wamshaya uGedaliya waze wafa , kanye nabaJuda namaKaledi ayenaye eMispa.

Abantu bonke , abancane nabakhulu , nezinduna zempi basuka baya eGibithe, ngokuba besaba amaKaledi.

AmaFilisti alwa no -Israyeli; abantu bakwa -Israyeli babaleka phambi kwamaFilisti, bawa begwaziwe entabeni yaseGilibowa.

Lapho bonke abantu bakwa -Israyeli ababe sesigodini bebona ukuthi babaleka nokuthi uSawule namadodana akhe bafile , bashiya imizi yabo , babaleka; amaFilisti afika, ahlala kuyo.

Wabela bonke abantu bakwa -Israyeli, abesilisa nabesifazane , isinkwa saba sinye, nesicubu senyama, nesigaxa sezithelo zomvini ezomileyo.

Bazulazula ezizweni ngezizwe, besuka kulo mbuso, beya kwabanye abantu.

Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade. Bonke abantu bathi: Amen, bamdumisa uJehova.

Ezindaweni zonke engihambahambe kuzo naye wonke u -Israyeli ngake ngakhuluma yini izwi nakoyedwa wabahluleli bakwa -Israyeli engabayala ukuba baluse abantu bami , ngathi: Aningakhelanga ngani indlu yemisedari na?

Ngiyakumisela abantu bami u -Israyeli indawo , ngibatshale ukuba bahlale endaweni yabo , bangabe besanyakaziswa ; futhi abantu ababi abasayikubachitha njengakuqala,

Ngokuba abantu bakho u-Israyeli wabenza babe ngabantu bakho kuze kube phakade, wena Jehova ube nguNkulunkulu wabo.

Ama-Aramu aseDamaseku esefika ukumsiza uHadarezeri inkosi yaseSoba , uDavide wabulala kuma -Aramu abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili.

UDavide wabusa phezu kuka -Israyeli wonke , waphatha ukwahlulela nokulunga kubo bonke abantu bakhe.

UJehova wayesethuma isifo phezu kuka-Israyeli; kwafa kwa-Israyeli abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa.

UDavide wathi kuNkulunkulu : Akusimi yini owaya leza ukuba abantu babalwe na ? Yimina engonileyo ; ngenze kabi kakhulu, kepha lezi zimvu zenzeni na? Isandla sakho, Jehova Nkulunkulu wami , masibe phezu kwami naphezu kwendlu kababa , singabi phezu kwabantu bakho ukubashaya ngesifo. I-altare elisesibuyeni sika-Orinani

Ngalokho abantu bami bayathunjwa bengazi , nabadumileyo babo bayalamba, nezixuku zabo zigangathekile ngokoma.

Abantu bayafoliswa, namadoda ayathotshiswa, namehlo abaziphakamisayo ayathotshiswa,

uJehova aze adedisele kude abantu, nencithakalo ibe nkulu ezweni.

Wayesethi: Ake uzwe wena n dlu kaDavide! Kuncane kuwe ukukhathaza abantu, ukuze nimkhathaze noNkulunkulu wami futhi na?

UJehova wamuzwa uHezekiya, wabaphilisa abantu.

Ngokuba uDavide wathi : UJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli unike abantu bakhe ukuphumula; uhlezi eJerusalema kuze kube phakade;

Nazi izigaba zabapristi nezamaLevi zazo zonke izinkonzo zendlu kaNkulunkulu; kuyakuba nawe emsebenzini wonke abantu abazinikela ngenhliziyo naba yizingcweti ezinkonzweni zonke; nezikhulu nabantu bonke bayakulalela konke okukhulumayo.

Abantu bajabula ngokunikela kwabo ngenhliziyo , ngokuba banikela ngenhliziyo epheleleyo kuJehova; naye uDavide inkosi wajabula ngokujabula okukhulu. Ukubonga nokukhuleka kukaDavide

Ngiyazi, Nkulunkulu wami , ukuthi uhlola inhliziyo , uthanda ubuqotho . Mina-ke ngobuqotho benhliziyo yami nginikele ngokuthokoza zonke lezi zinto, futhi sengibonile ngokujabula abantu bakho abakhona lapha ukuthi nabo banikele kuwe ngokuthokoza.

Wayesethi uNkulunkulu kuSolomoni : Ngenxa yokuba lokho kwakusenhliziyweni yakho , ungacelanga ingcebo , nemfuyo, nodumo, nokuphila kwabakuzondayo , futhi ungacelanga imihla eminingi , kepha wazicelela ukuhlakanipha nokwazi ukuba wahlulele abantu bami engikubeke inkosi phezu kwabo,

USolomoni wabala abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa ukuba bathwale imithwalo , nabantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishiyagalombili ukuba babe ngababazi bamatshe ezintabeni , nezinkulungwane ezintathu namakhulu ayisithupha ukubabonisa.

UHiramu inkosi yaseTire waphendula ngokuloba, wakuthuma kuSolomoni, wathi: Ngokuba uJehova uyathanda abantu bakhe , ukubeke inkosi phezu kwabo.

Kubona wamisa izinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa ukuba bathwale imithwalo , nezinkulungwane ezingama shumi ayisishiyagalombili ukuba babe ngababazi ezintabeni , nezinkulungwane ezintathu namakhulu ayisithupha ukuba babe ngababonisi bokusebenzisa abantu.

Kusukela osukw ini engakhipha ngalo abantu bami u -Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe angikhethanga muzi ezizweni zonke zakwa -Israyeli ukwakha indlu ukuba igama lami libe khona lapho , futhi angikhethanga muntu ukuba abe ngumbusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli,

Uma abantu bakho bephuma impi ukulwa nezitha zabo ngendlela obathuma ngayo , bese bekhuleka kuJehova be bhekene nalo muzi owukhethileyo nale ndlu engiyakhele igama lakho,

mawuzwe wena ezulwini , indawo yakho yokuhlala , umkhuleko wabo nokunxusa kwabo, ubavume, uthethelele abantu bakho abonile kuwe.

Inkosi nabo bonke abantu base benikela ngomhlatshelo phambi kukaJehova.

Ngosuku lwamashumi amabili nantathu lwenyanga yesikhombisa wabamukisa abantu baya ematendeni abo , bethokoza benezinhliziyo ezenamileyo ngobuhle uJehova abenzel e oDavide noSolomoni no -Israyeli abantu bakhe. UNkulunkulu uyabonakala ngokwesibili kuSolomoni

bazithobe abantu bami ababizwa ngegama lami , bakhuleke, bafune ubuso bami, baphenduke ezindleleni zabo ezimbi , ngiyakuzwa ezulwini , ngithethelele isono sabo, ngiphilise izwe labo.

Abantu bonke abaseleyo kumaHeti , nama-Amori, namaPherizi, namaHivi, namaJebusi, abangesibo abakwa-Israyeli,

Babusiswe abantu bakho , zibusisiwe lezi zinceku zakho ezimi njalo phambi kwakho, zizwa ukuhlakanipha kwakho.

Wathi kubo: Buyelani kimi emva kwezinsuku ezintathu. Basuka-ke abantu.

Inkosi ayibalalelanga abantu , ngokuba kwakuyisiyiba esivela kuNkulunkulu, ukuze uJehova amise izwi lakhe alikhulumayo ngesandla sika-Ahiya waseShilo kuJerobowamu indodana kaNebati.

Wonke u-Israyeli esebonile ukuthi inkosi ayibalalelanga , abantu babuyisela izwi enkosini , bathi: Sinasabelo sini kuDavide na ? Ifa asinalo endodaneni kaJese. Yilowo nalowo makaye etendeni lakhe , Israyeli; zibhekele indlu yakho manje, Davide. Wayesesuka u-Israyeli wonke, waya ematendeni akhe.

URehobowamu esefikile eJerusalema wabutha indlu yakwaJuda noBenjamini, abantu abakhethiweyo abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi ayisihiyagalombili , amabutho, ukuba balwe no -Israyeli, bawubuyisele umbuso kuRehobowamu.

U-Abiya waqala ukulwa enempi yamaqhawe anamandla , abantu abakhethiweyo abayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane , kepha uJerobowamu wahlela ukulwa naye enabantu abakhethiweyo abayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili , bengamaqhawe anamandla.

Kwabuthana kuye amayiyane , abantu ababi , aziqinisa ukulwa noRehobowamu indodana kaSolomoni , uRehobowamu esemusha, inhliziyo isathambile, engenakumelana nawo.

Base bekhamuluka abantu bakwaJuda , nalapho abantwana bakwaJuda bekhamuluka, uNkulunkulu washaya oJerobowamu no -Israyeli wonke phambi kuka-Abiya noJuda.

U-Ahabi inkosi yakwa -Israyeli wathi kuJehoshafati inkosi yakwaJuda : Uyakuhamba nami , siye eRamoti Gileyadi , na? Wathi kuye: Mina nginjengawe, abantu bami banjengabantu bakho; siyakuba nawe empini.

Base bebuya bonke abantu bakwaJuda nabaseJerusalema , uJehoshafati ephambi kwabo, ukuba babuyele eJerusalema ngentokozo, ngokuba uJehova wayesebathokozisile phezu kwezitha zabo.

abesithathu babe sendlini yenkosi , abesithathu babe seSangweni Lesisekelo , bonke abantu babe semagcekeni endlu kaJehova.

Makungangeni muntu endlini kaJehova ngaphandle kwabapristi namaLevi akhonzayo; bona bangangena , ngokuba bangcwel e; kepha bonke abantu bayakugcina izimfanelo zikaJehova.

AmaLevi naye wonke uJuda b enza njengakho konke uJehoyada umpristi ayale ngakho , bathatha, kwaba yilowo nalowo abantu bakhe ababeyakungena ngesabatha kanye nababeyakuphuma ngesabatha , ngokuba uJehoyada umpristi akamukisanga izigaba.

Wamisa abantu bonke , kwaba yilowo nalowo enesikhali sakhe esandleni sakhe, kusukela ohlangothini lokunene lwendlu kuze kube sohlangothini lwesokhohlo lwendlu, ngase-altare nasendlini nxazonke zenkosi.

Bonke abantu baya endlini ka Bali, bayibhidliza, baphahlaza ama -altare akhe nezithombe zakhe , babulala uMathani umpristi kaBali phambi kwama - altare.

U-Amasiya waziqinisa, wahola abantu bakhe , waya esiGodini Sikasawoti , wabulala abantwana baseSeyiri abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi.

Kepha abantu bempi ababebuyiselwe emu va ngu -Amasiya ukuba bangaphumi impi naye baphundla imizi yakwaJuda kusukela eSamariya kuze kube seBeti Horo ni, babulala kuyo izinkulungwane ezintathu , bathatha impango eningi.

Ngalokho intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u -Amasiya, wathuma umprofethi kuye owathi kuye : Ufuneleni onkulunkulu babantu abangophulanga abantu babo esandleni sakho na?

Bonke abantu bakwaJuda bathatha u -Uziya owayeneminyaka eyishumi nesithupha, bambeka inkosi esikhundleni sikayise u-Amasiya.

U-Uziya, inkosi, wayesengonochoko kwaze kwafika usuku lokufa kwakhe , wahlala endlini eyahlukanisiweyo, lokhu engonochoko, ngokuba wanqunywa endlini kaJehova . UJothamu indodana yakhe wayephezu kwendlu yenkosi , ahlulela abantu bezwe.

Wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova njeng akho konke akwenzileyo u - Uziya, kepha akangenanga ethempelini likaJehova. Abantu babesasebenza ukonakala.

UHezekiya wathokoza kanye nabantu bonke ngenxa yalokho uNkulunkulu ayebalungisele khona abantu, ngokuba leyo nto yavela ingalindelwanga.

Kwabuthana eJerusalema abantu abaningi ukuba bagubhe umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo ngenyanga yesibili, ibandla elikhulu kakhulu.

Base besukuma abapristi namaLevi , bababusisa abantu ; izwi labo lezwakala, nomkhuleko wabo wafika endaweni yakhe engcwele ezulwini.

U-Azariya umpristi omkhulu wendlu kaSadoki wathi : Kusukela ekuqaleni kokulethwa kweminikelo endlini kaJehova sidlile sasutha , sashiya okuningi, ngokuba uJehova ubusisile abantu bakhe; okuseleyo yile ngcebo.

Kwabuthana abantu abaningi , bavimba yonke imithombo , nomfudlana owawugobhoza phakathi nezwe , bathi: Kungangani ukuba kufike amakhosi ase-Asiriya, afumane amanzi amaningi, na?

okunaye yingalo yenyama; okunathi nguJehova uNkulunkulu wethu ukuba asisize, alwe izimpi zethu . Abantu bencika emazwini kaHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda.

Ngubani phakathi kwabo bonke onk ulunkulu balezo zizwe ezachithwa ngobaba owayenamandla okophula abantu bakhe esandleni sami , ukuze uNkulunkulu wenu anophule nina esandleni sami, na?

Ngalokho uHezekiya makanganikhohlisi , anganiyengi ngale ndlela , ningakholwa nguye , ngokuba kwakungekho n kulunkulu nakusiphi isizwe noma kumuphi umbuso owayenamandla okophula abantu bakhe esandleni sami nasesandleni sawobaba ; kakhulu kangakanani anganophula esandleni sami uNkulunkulu wenu na?

Wayelobe nencwadi yokumhlambalaza uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, wakhuluma okuphambene naye, wathi: Njengalokho onkulunkulu babezizwe bengabophulanga abantu babo esandleni sami , kanjalo uNkulunkulu kaHezekiya akayikubophula abantu bakhe esandleni sami.

Nokho abantu babesahlaba ezindaweni eziphakemeyo , kodwa kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabo kuphela.

Kepha abantu bezwe bababulala bonke ababeyenzele inkosi u -Amoni ugobe; abantu bezwe bambeka uJosiya indodana yakhe inkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Abantu bezwe bathatha uJ ehowahazi indodana kaJosiya , bambeka inkosi esikhundleni sikayise.

U-Efrayimi uyazihlanganisa nabanye abantu : u-Efrayimi uyiqebelengwane elingaphendulwanga.

Ngenxa yokuba ububi obenziwayo bungahlulelwa masinyane , ngalokho izinhliziyo zamadodana abantu phakathi kwawo zigcwele ukwenza okubi,

Kubi lokhu kukho konke okwenziwa phansi kwelanga ukuthi bonke behlelwa yinto inye ; ngalokho izinhliziyo zamadodana abantu zigcwele ububi, nobuhlanya busezinhliziyweni zabo besekhona , andukuba baye kwabafileyo.

Ngokuba umuntu akasazi isikhathi sakhe ; njengezinhlanzi ezibanjwa enetheni elib i nezinyoni ezibanjwa ogibeni , kanjalo amadodana abantu abekelwa isihibe ngesikhathi esibi, lapho siwehlela ngokuzumayo.

Umvini ubunile, imikhiwane iwumile; imipomegranati, namasundu, nemi- apula, nemithi yonke yasendle kubunile , ngokuba intokozo ibunile phakathi kwamadodana abantu.

UJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise wathuma kubo ngezandla zezithunywa zakhe, ethuma njalonjalo, ngokuba waha wukela abantu bakhe nendawo yakhe yokuhlala;

Usho kanje uKoresi , inkosi yasePheresiya , uthi: U Jehova uNkulunkulu wezulu unginikile yonke imibuso yomhlaba ; ungiyalile ukumakhela indlu eJerusalema lakwaJuda . Noma ngumuphi phakathi kwenu kubo bonke abantu bakhe, uNkulunkulu makabe naye, akhuphuke.

bafika noZerubabele , noJeshuwa, noNehemiya, noSeraya, noRehelaya, noMoridekayi, noBilishani, noMisipari, noBigivayi, noRehumi, noBahana. Umumo wamadoda abantu bakwa-Israyeli nanku:

Base behlala abapristi, namaLevi, nabanye abantu abathile , nabahlabeleli, nabalindisango, namaNethini emizini yabo , bonke abakwa -Israyeli emizini yabo.

Lapho isisondela inyanga yesikhombisa , abantwana bakwa -Israyeli besemizini, abantu babuthana eJerusalema njengomuntu munye.

Baphendulana ngokumdumisa nangokumbonga uJehova , bathi: Ngokuba muhle, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade phezu kuka -Israyeli. Bonke abantu bakhamuluka ngokukhamuluka okukhulu ekumdumiseni kwabo uJehova, ngokuba isisekelo sendlu kaJehova sase sibekiwe.

ngangokuba abantu babengenakwahlukanisa izwi lok ukhamuluka kwentokozo nezwi lokukhala kwabantu , ngokuba abantu bakhamuluka ngokukhamuluka okukhulu, umsindo wezwakala kude.

Abantu balelo zwe base bedangalisa izandla zabantu bakwaJuda, babesabisa ekwakheni,

Nansi impinda yencwadi abayithu ma ku -Aritahishashita inkosi yokuthi : Izinceku zakho, abantu abaphesheya koMfula, nokuthi nokuthi.

Khona sabatshela ukuthi angobani amagama abantu abakha le ndlu.

Sabuza n amagama abo ukuba sikwazise , sibhale amagama abantu ababe yizinhloko zabo.

Ngikhipha isimemezelo sok uthi bonke abantu bakwa -Israyeli, nabapristi babo, namaLevi embusweni wami, abafuna ukuya eJerusalema, bangahamba nawe,

Wena-ke, Ezra, ngokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu wakho okusesandleni sakho, misa abahluleli nabaholi abayakwahlulela bonke abantu abangaphesheya koMfula , bonke abazi imithetho ka Nkulunkulu wakho ; nongayaziyo nimfundise.

Ngababutha emfuleni oya e -Ahava; samisa khona izinsuku ezintathu; ngabheka abantu nabapristi , angifumananga khona noyedwa wamadodana kaLevi.

Banika imithetho yenkosi kothulasizwe benkosi nakubabusi phesheya koMfula; basekela abantu nendlu kaNkulunkulu.

Kwathi sekuphelile lokho , izikhulu zasondela kimi , zathi: Abantu bakwa- Israyeli nabapristi namaLevi abazahlukanisanga nabantu bezizwe nezinengiso zabo, ezamaKhanani, namaHeti, namaPherizi, namaJebusi, nama-Amoni, nabakwaMowabi, nabaseGibithe, nama-Amori.

U-Ezra esakhuleka , evuma izono ngokukhala , eziwise phansi phambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, kwabuthana kuye kuvela ku-Israyeli ibandla elikhulu kakhulu labesilisa nabesifazane nabantwana , ngokuba abantu bakhala ngokukhala okukhulu.

Bonke abantu bakwaJuda nabakwaBenjamini babuthana eJerusalema ngezinsuku ezintathu ; kwakuyinyanga yesishiyagalolunye , ngolwamashumi amabili lwenyanga ; bonke abantu bahlala esigcawini ngaphambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu bethuthumela ngale ndaba nangemvula enkulu.

Kepha abantu baningi , futhi kuyisikhathi semvula enkulu , asinakuma phandle, futhi lo msebenzi awusiwo walusuku lunye nowezimbili , ngokuba siphambukile kakhulu ngale ndaba.

Eceleni kwakhe kwakha abantu bas eJeriko, naseceleni kwabo kwakha uZakuri indodana ka-Imri.

Emva kwakhe kwalungisa abapristi, abantu basethafeni.

Sase sivusa -ke ugange; lonke ugange lwahlanganiswa kwaze kwagamanxa , ngokuba abantu babenenhliziyo yokusebenza.

Ngase ngimisa ngenzansi ezindaweni ezisemva kogange nakwezisobala abantu ngemindeni yabo, benezinkemba zabo, nemikhonto yabo, neminsalo yabo.

Lapho sengibhekile, ngasuka ngathi kwabakhulu nakubabusi nakwabanye abantu: Ningabesabi; khumbulani iNkosi enkulu neyesabekayo , nilwele abafowenu, namadodana enu , namadodakazi enu , nawomkenu, nezindlu zenu.

Ngokuba ngangithe kwabakhulu nakubabusi nakwabanye abantu : Umsebenzi mkhulu, ubanzi, sahlukene ogangeni, omunye ukude nomunye.

Ngavuthulula ingubo yami , ngathi: UNkulunkulu makavuthulule kanjalo bonke abantu abangagcini leli zwi ezindlini zabo nasemfuyweni yabo ; mabavuthululwe kanjalo , babe yize . Lonke ibandla lathi : Amen, ladumisa uJehova. Abantu base benza njengalelo zwi.

Kepha ababusi bokuqala ababe phambi kw ami babebathwesile abantu , bathatha kubo isinkwa n ewayini kanye namashekeli angamashumi amane esiliva; nezinceku zachachaza phezu kwabantu ; kepha mina angenzanga kanjalo ngenxa yokumesaba uNkulunkulu.

AbaJuda nababusi , abantu abayikhulu namashumi ayisihlanu , badla etafuleni lami, kanye nabafika kithi bevela kwabezizwe abasizungezayo.

Umuzi wawubanzi nxazombili; wawumkhulu, kepha abantu babe yingcosana phakathi kwawo, izindlu zingakakhiwa.

abafika noZerubabele , noJeshuwa, noNehemiya, no-Azariya, noRahamiya, noNahamani, noMoridekayi, noBilishani, noMisipereti, noBigivayi, noNehumi, noBahana. Abokuqala ababuya eBabele Umumo wamadoda abantu bakwa-Israyeli nanku:

Abakunikelayo abanye abantu kwakungamadarike ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili egolide , namamane ayizinkulungwane ezimbili esiliva, nezambatho zabapristi ezingamashumi ayisithupha nesikhombisa.

Base behlala -ke abapristi , namaLevi, nabalindisango, nabahlabeleli, nabanye abantu, namaNethini, naye wonke u -Israyeli emizini yabo . Kwathi lapho inyang a yesikhombisa isifikile , abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babe semizini yabo.

Bonke abantu babuthana njengomuntu munye esigcawini esasiphambi kweSango Lamanzi ; bakhuluma ku -Ezra, umbhali, ukuba alethe incwadi yomthetho kaMose, uJehova ayeyale ngawo u-Israyeli.

U-Ezra wayivula incwadi emehlweni abantu bonke , ngokuba wayengaphezulu kwabantu bonke, nalapho eyivula, bonke abantu basukuma.

U-Ezra wambonga uJehova uNkulunkulu omkhulu . Bonke abantu baphendula bathi : Amen, Amen, bephakamisa izandla zabo ; bakhothama, bakhuleka kuJehova, ubuso babo bubheke phansi.

NoJeshuwa, noBani, noSherebiya, noJamini, no-Akubi, noShabethayi, noHodiya, noMahaseya, noKelitha, no-Azariya, noJozabadi, noHanani, noPhelaya, namaLevi bafundisa abantu umthetho , abantu besezindaweni zabo.

UNehemiya owayengumbusi , no-Ezra umpristi nombhali , namaLevi ayebafundisa abantu , bathi kubantu bonke : Lolu suku lungcwele kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ; ningalili, ningakhali. Ngokuba bonke abantu bakhala , lapho bezwa amazwi omthetho.

AmaLevi ayesethulisa abantu bonke , ethi: Thulani, ngokuba lolu suku lungcwele; ningadabuki.

Abantu bonke bahamba ukuba badle, baphuze, bathumele izabelo, bajabule kakhulu, ngokuba babeqondile amazwi ababewazisiwe. Umkhosi wamadokodo

Base bephuma abantu, balanda lokho, bazenzela amadokodo, kwaba yilowo nalowo opha hleni lwendlu , nasemagcekeni abo , nasemagcekeni endlu kaNkulunkulu, nasesigcawini seSango Lamanzi, nasesigcawini seSango lakwa- Efrayimi.

Ngalokho, Nkulunkulu wethu , Nkulunkulu omkhulu onamandla owesabekayo, ogcina isivumelwano nomusa , yonke le nkathazo mayingabi ncane ebusweni bakho esificile thina , namakhosi ethu , nezikhulu zethu , nabapristi bethu, nabaprofethi bethu, nawobaba, nabo bonke abantu bakho , kusukela esikhathini samakhosi ase-Asiriya kuze kube namuhla.

Lithelela kakhulu amakhosi owabeke phezu kwethu ngenxa yezono zethu ; abusa phezu kwemizimba yethu naphezu kwezinkomo zethu njengokuthanda kwawo; thina sisekuhluphekeni okukhulu. Abantu benza isivumelwano noNkulunkulu

Abantu abaseleyo , abapristi, namaLevi, nabalindisango, nabahlabeleli, namaNethini, nabo bonke ababezahlukanisile nabantu bezwe ukuba bazihlanganise nomthetho kaNkulunkulu , nawomkabo, namadodana a bo, namadodakazi abo, bonke ababe nolwazi nokuhlakanipha,

ukuba singabaniki abantu bezwe amadodakazi ethu , singathatheli amadodana ethu amadodakazi abo,

nokuba lapho abantu bezwe beletha impahla , noma uhlobo oluthile lwamabele ngosuku lwesabatha ukuba bathengise ngakho, singathengi kubo ngesabatha nangosuku olungcwele , futhi siwuyeke umnyaka wesikhombisa nazo zonke izikwenetu.

Izinduna zabantu zahlala eJerusalema ; abantu abaseleyo benza inkatho ukuyisa omunye kwabayishumi njalo ukuba ahlale eJ erusalema, umuzi ongcwele, nabayisishiyagalolunye kweminye imizi.

Abantu babusisa bonke abantu ababezinikela ngenhliziyo ukuhlala eJerusalema.

Ngabasola ngalokho, ngabathuka, ngashaya abanye abantu, ngabahluthula izinwele, ngabafungisa uNkulunkulu , ngathi: Ninganiki amadodana abo amadodakazi enu, ningathatheli amadodana enu amadodakazi abo.

Seziphelile lezo zinsuku , inkosi yenzela abantu bonke ab abe khona eShushani endlini yenkosi , abakhulu nabancane , idili izinsuku eziyisikhombisa egcekeni lensimu yendlu yenkosi.

ukuba zimlethe uVashiti inkosikazi phambi kwenkosi , abe nomqhele wobukhosi ukuba abonise abantu nezikhulu ubuhle bakhe , ngokuba wayebukeka kahle.

Kwakudelelekile emehlweni akhe ukubeka izandla kuMoridekayi yedwa , ngokuba zase zimtshelile abantu bakaMoridekayi; ngalokho uHamani wafuna ukubulala bonke abaJuda ababe sembusweni wonke ka-Ahashiveroshi, isizwe sikaMoridekayi.

Wamnika futhi impinda yomthetho olotshiweyo owashaywa eShushani wokuba babhujiswe , ukuze amtshengise yona u -Esteri, amtshele ngayo , amyale ukuba angene enkosini uk unxusa kuyo, acelele abantu bakhe phambi kwayo.

Inkosi yayisithi ku -Esteri inkosikazi : AbaJuda babulele bac hitha abantu abangamakhulu ayisihlanu eShushani endlini yenkosi namadodana ayishumi kaHamani; pho, benzeni kwezinye izifunda zenkosi ? Isicelo sakho siyini ? Uyakusenzelwa. Yini oyifunayo na? Kuyakwenziwa.

AbaJuda ababe seShushani babuth ana nangosuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga ka-Adari, babulala abantu abangamakhulu amathathu eShushani , kepha ababekanga izandla zabo empangweni.

Impahla yakhe yayiyizimvu eziyiz inkulungwane eziyisikhombisa , namakamela ayizinkulungwane ezintathu , namabhangqa angamakhulu ayisihlanu ezinkabi , nezimbongolo zezinsikazi ezingamakhulu ayisihlanu , nezinceku eziningi kakhulu; wayemkhulu lowo muntu kunabo bonke abantu basempumalanga.

Ngokudlala kwemicabango ivuswe yimibono yasebusuku , lapho abantu sebehlelwe ngubuthongo obunzima,

Manje, abantu abanakukubona ukukhanya okukhazimula esibhakabhakeni,

Ngokuba uyabazi abantu ababi; lapho ebona ukona, akayikukunaka na?

Amagabade asesigodini ayakuba mnandi kuye ; bonke abantu bayakudonswa emva kwakhe , njengokuba bengenakubalwa nababe phambi kwakhe.

Abantu abangemsulwa uyakubakhulula nabo , bakhululwe ngobumhlophe bezandla zakho.

Abantu bayakumshayela ihlombe , bamncimfele ukuba asuke endaweni yakhe.

Baqhekeza umgodi kude nalapho behlala khona abantu , lapho bekhohlakele khona lunyawo; bayalenga, bajikajika kude nabantu.

Abantu bangilalela belinda; bathula ngesiluleko sami.

uma abantu betende lami bengashongo ukuthi : Ngubani ongathola umuntu ongasuthanga ngenyama yakhe na? --

Ephusheni nasembonweni wasebusuku , lapho abantu behlelwe ngubuthongo obunzima, bozela emacansini,

Bayafa ngokuphazima kweso; phakathi kwamabili abantu bayathuthumela, banyamalale; amaqhawe ayasuswa, kepha kungengasandla.

ukuba kungabusi muntu ongenaNkulunkulu, abantu bacushwe.

Abantu abanokuqonda bayakusho kimi , yebo, nezihlakaniphi, lapho zingizwa, ziyakuthi:

Bonke abantu bayazibona; abokufa bayazibuka besekude.

Ngokuba ngalokho uyabahlulela abantu, aphane kakhulu ngokudla.

Uyanamathelisa izandla zabantu bonke ukuba bonke abantu bazi imisebenzi yakhe.

Ngalokho abantu bayamesaba ; kepha akanaki abazishaya izihlakani phi ngenhliziyo.

Ngokuba wena uyabasindisa abantu abathobekileyo , kepha amehlo abaqhoshileyo uyawathobisa.

Wangikhulula ezimpini zabantu ; wangimisa ngaba yinhloko yabezizwe ; abantu engingabaziyo bangikhonza.

UJehova ungamandla abantu bakhe ; uyinqaba yensindiso yogcotshi weyo wakhe.

UJehova uzakunika abantu bakhe amandla ; uJehova uzakubusisa abantu bakhe ngokuthula.

Ukulunga kwakho kunjengezintaba ezinkulukazi , ukwahlulela kwak ho kulutwa olukhulu; usindisa abantu nezilwane, Jehova.

Yiba nomusa kimi , Nkulunkulu, ngokuba abantu bafuna ukungigwi nya; usuku lonke bayangicindezela belwa.

Ungazibulali, funa abantu bami bakhohlwe ; zizulise ngamandla akho , uzilahle phansi, Nkosi, sihlangu sethu.

Bonke abantu bayashaywa luvalo ; bayakushumayela izenzo zikaNkulunkulu, baqonde akwenzileyo.

Wena ozwayo imikhuleko, beza kuwe bonke abantu.

Uhambela umhlaba, unisa imvula , uwuvundisa kakhulu ; umfula kaNkulunkulu ugcwele amanzi ; ubalungisela abantu ukudla , ngokuba uwulungisa kanjalo umhlaba.

Wavumela abantu ukuba bakhwele phezu kwamakhanda ethu ; sangena emlilweni nasemanzini; kepha wasikhiphela ekubuseni.

Abantu mabakubonge, Nkulunkulu; mabakubonge abantu bonke.

Abantu mabakubonge, Nkulunkulu; mabakubonge abantu bonke.

Zikhuze izilwane zasemhlangeni, umhlambi wezinkunzi kanye namankonyane abantu, azithobise phansi ngezinqamu zesiliva ; uyazihlakaza izizwe ezithanda ukulwa.

Nkulunkulu, uyesabeka ezindaweni zakho ezingcwele ; uNkulunkulu ka - Israyeli nguyena owenzela abantu amandla nokuqina ; makadunyiswe uNkulunkulu.

Awuzukusivusa, sibuye siphile, ukuze abantu bakho bathokoze ngawe, na?

Abahlupheki njengabanye abantu; abahlushwa njengabanye abantu.

Zaba sengathi abantu baphakamisa amazembe emithini eminyeneyo.

Ngengalo yamandla wasindisa abantu bakho , amadodana kaJakobe noJosefa. Sela

Wahola abantu bakho njengezimvu ngesandla sikaMose no-Aroni.

Abantu bakwa -Efrayimi, sebehlomile bephethe iminsalo , babuyela emuva ngosuku lokulwa.

Kepha waphumisa abantu bakhe njengezimvu ; wabahola ehlane njengomhlambi.

Wanikela abantu bakhe enkembeni, wathukuthelela ifa lakhe.

Esalandele izimvukazi ezenyisayo , yamthabatha ukuba abeluse abantu bayo uJakobe, nefa layo u-Israyeli.

Kepha abantu bami abalalelanga izwi lami, u-Israyeli akanginakanga.

Sengathi abantu bami bangangizwa, u-Israyeli ahambe ezindleleni zami.

Othethisa abezizwe, yena ofundisa abantu ukwazi, kanakujezisa na?

Ngokuba uJehova akayikulahla abantu bakhe, nefa lakhe akayikulishiya.

UJehova uyinkosi ; mabathuthumele abantu ; uhlezi phezu kwamakherubi; mawuzamazame umhlaba.

Lokhu kuyakulotshelwa isizukulwane esizayo ; abantu abayakudalwa bayakudumisa uJehova.

Bazulazula ezizweni ngezizwe, besuka kulo mbuso, beya kwabanye abantu.

Wandisa kakhulu abantu bakhe; wabenza babe namandla kunezitha zabo.

Wayiguqula inhliziyo yabo ukuba bazonde abantu bakhe , baphathe izinceku zakhe ngobuqili.

Wayesekhipha abantu bakhe ngokujabula , abakhethiweyo bakhe ngokuthokoza.

Abababhubhisanga abantu uJehova abayaleza ngabo,

Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade. Abantu bonke mabathi: Amen. Haleluya!

Abantu bakho bayazinikela ngenjabulo ngosuku lwempi yakho ; ebuhleni bobungcwele abasha bakho bavela njengamazolo esizalweni sokusa.

Ubonisile abantu bakhe amandla emisebenzi yakh e ngokubapha ifa labezizwe.

Wabathumela abantu bakhe ukukhululwa ; uyalezile isiv umelwano sakhe kuze kube phakade; lingcwele, liyesabeka igama lakhe.

Ngathi osizini lwami: Bonke abantu banamanga.

Njengalokhu izintaba zihaqa iJerusalema , kanjalo uJehova uhaqa abantu bakhe kalokhu kuze kube phakade.

Ngokuba uJehova uyakwahlulela abantu bakhe, ahawukele izinceku zakhe.

owahola abantu bakhe ehlane, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade;

umusa wami nenqaba yami , umbhoshongo wami ophakemeyo nomkhululi wami, isihlangu sami , nengiphephela kuye , nothobisa abantu bami phansi kwami.

babusisiwe abantu abanjalo ; babusisiwe abantu abaNkulunkulu wabo unguJehova.

Abantu bayakukhuluma ngamandla ezenzo zakho ezesabekayo ; ubukhulu bakho ngiyakubumemezela.

Usephakamisile uphondo lwab antu bakhe ; ngalokho bayamdumisa abangcwele bakhe , abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, abantu abaseduze naye . Haleluya!

Ngiyanibiza nina madoda; izwi lami likumadodana abantu.

ngijabula ezweni lomhlaba wakhe , intokozo yami ikanye namadodana abantu.

Lapho kungekho iziluleko, abantu bayawa, kepha lapho kukhona abeluleki abaningi, lapho kukhona ukuphumelela.

Ogodla amabele, abantu bayamqalekisa, kepha isibusiso siyakuba sekhanda lothengisa ngawo.

Udumo lwenkosi lungobuningi babantu , kepha ukuswela abantu kungukuchithwa kwesikhulu.

Abantu abaningi bayamemezela , kube yilowo nalowo umusa wakhe , kepha ngubani ongafumana umuntu othembekileyo na?

Ngaphenya enhliziyweni yami ukuba ngiyakuthokozisa kanjani umzimba wami ngewayini , inhliziyo ingihole nokho ngokuhlakanipha , nokuba ngibambe ubuwula, ngize ngibone ukuthi kuyini okuhle kumadodana abantu ukuba akwenze phansi kwezulu ezinsukwini zonke zokuphila kwawo.

Ngazibuthela futhi isiliva negolide , nemfuyo yamakhosi , nezifunda; ngathola abahlabeleli , abesilisa nabesifazane , nalokho athokoza ngakho amadodana abantu: isancinza, yebo, izancinza eziningi.

Ngibonile umshikashika uNkulunkulu awunikile amadodana abantu ukuba awushikashike.

Futhi bonke abantu uNkulunkulu abaphe ingcebo nemfuyo , abanike futhi namandla okud la kukho ukuba bathathe izabelo zabo , bathokoze ngomshikashika wabo lokho kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu.

nalapho abantu bes aba imimang o izesabiso zibe sendleleni , umalimondi ukhahlele, intethe itotobe , izithelo zesihlahla sekaphari zingabe zisaba namandla, ngokuba umuntu useya endlini yakhe ephakade , nabalilayo bazulazula esitaladini;

Futhi ngokuba uMshumayeli wayehlakaniphile , wayefundisa abantu ukwazi, wazindla, waphenya walungisa izaga eziningi.

Lapho bethi kini : Funani kwabanamadlozi nakubathakathi ababetha imilozi, banyenyeze pho , abantu abayikufuna uNkulunkulu wabo yini ? Kuyiwe kwabafileyo ngabaphilayo na?

Abantu abahamba ebumnyamen i babona ukukhanya okukhulu ; abahlezi ezweni lethunzi lokufa ukukhanya kuyabakhanyisela.

Uyakwandisa isizwe , ukhulise intokozo yaso ; bathokoza phambi kwakh o njengokuthokoza ekuvuneni , njengalokhu abantu bethokoza ekwabeleni kwabo impango.

Bonke abantu bayakwazi , u-Efrayimi nabakhe eSamariya , abasho ekuziphakamiseni kwabo nasekuziqhenyeni kwenhliziyo ukuthi:

Abantu ababuyelanga nokho kobashayileyo, futhi abamfunanga uJehov a Sebawoti.

Ngentukuthelo kaJehova Sebawot i izwe lishisiwe ; abantu bangukudla komlilo, akakho osindisa umfowabo.

Ngokuba noma abantu bakho , Israyeli, bengangesihlabathi solwandle , kuyakubuya phakathi kwabo insali nje ; ukuchithwa kunqunyiwe , okuchichima ukulunga.

Kepha bayakundizela ehlombe lamaFilisti ngasentshonalanga , baphange kanyekanye abantu basempumalanga , belulele izandla zabo ngaku -Edomi noMowabi, abakwa-Amoni babalalele.

Abantu bayakubathatha , babayise ezindaweni zabo ; indlu yakwa-Israyeli iyakubenza ifa ezweni likaJehova , babe yiz inceku nezincekukazi , babathumbe labo abakade bethunjiwe yibo , babuse phezu kwabacindezeli babo.

eyashaya abantu ngentukuthelo ngokushaya okunganqamukiyo, eyabusa izizwe ngolaka ngokuzingela okunganqandwanga.

Awuyikuhlanganiswa nabo ekumbelweni , ngokuba uchithile izwe lakho , wabulala abantu bakho; inzalo yababi ayisayikubizwa ngegama naphakade.

Ngalolo suku abantu bayakumbheka uMenzi wabo , namehlo abo ayakumbuka oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

Ngezwi lokuhlokoma abantu bayabaleka ; ngokuphakama kwakho izizwe ziyahlakazeka.

Ngaleso sikhathi kuyakulethwa isipho kuJehova Sebawot i yibo abantu abadephileyo nabakhazimulayo , sivela kubantu abesa bekayo lapha nasekudeni, isizwe esinamandla amakhulu nesinyathelayo , esilizwe laso lidatshulwe yimifula , endaweni yegama likaJehova Sebawoti , intaba yaseSiyoni.

uJehova Sebawoti ababusisa ngaso, ethi: Malibusiswe iGibithe abantu bami, ne-Asiriya umsebenzi wezandla zami, no-Israyeli ifa lami.

Ngalokho isiqalekiso sidlile umhlaba , nabakhileyo kuwo batholiswa icala ; ngalokho abakhileyo emhlabeni bayashiswa , kusale abantu abayingcosana nje.

Ngalokho abantu abanamandla bayakukudumisa , imizi yezizwe ezinonya zikwesabe.

UJehova Sebawoti uyakwenzela abantu bonk e idili lokukhulupheleyo kule ntaba, idili lewayini elinenhlese, okukhulupheleyo okunomnkantsha, iwayini elinenhlese elicwengekileyo.

Uyakuchitha kule ntaba ingaphandl e lesimbozo esimboza abantu bonke , nomgubuzelo ogubuzela zonke izizwe.

Uyakugwinya ukufa kuze kube phakade ; iNkosi uJehova iyakwesula izinyembezi ebusweni bonke, isuse amahloni abantu bakhe emhlabeni wonke, ngokuba uJehova ukhulumile.

Jehova, isandla sakho siphakeme , kepha kababoni ; kodwa mababone ukushisekela kwakho abantu, babe namahloni; yebo, umlilo uyakuqeda izitha zakho.

Futhi ukukhanya kwenyanga kuyakuba njengokukhanya kwelanga , nokukhanya kwelanga kuyakuphindwa kasikhombisa njengokukhanya kwezimini eziyisikhombisa ngosuku uJehova abopha ngalo amanxeba abantu bakhe, aphulukise izilonda zemivimbo yabo. Ukunqotshwa kwe-Asiriya

Abantu bami bayakuhlala ematendeni okuthula, nasezindlini ezilondekayo, nasezindaweni zokuphumula ezinokuthula.

Abantu bayakushiswa njengokushiswa komcako, njengameva anqunyiweyo ashiswa ngomlilo.

Awuyikubona abantu abanobudlova , abantu abanokukhuluma okujulileyo ongenakukuzwa, nabalulimi lwabo olukwitizayo kungekho ongaluqonda.

Abakhe khona abayikusho ukuthi : Ngiyagula, abantu abahlala khona bayakuthethelelwa ububi babo.

Nkosi, abantu baphila ngalo kho, nokuphila komoya wami kukulokho kuphelele; ngalokho mawungiphulukise, ungiphilise.

Duduzani, nibaduduze abantu bami, usho uNkulunkulu wenu.

Utshani buyabuna , imbali iyavuthuluka, ngokuba umoya kaJehova uyaphephetha kukho. Impela abantu bangutshani.

Usho kanje uNkul unkulu uJehova owadala izulu, waleneka, nowawendlala umhlaba nokuvela kuwo, nowanika abantu abakuwo ukuphefumul a nomoya kwabahamba kuwo, uthi:

Lethani abantu abayizimpumputhe abanamehlo nezithulu ezinezindlebe.

Izizwe zonke mazibuth elwe ndawonye, abantu bonke babuthane ; ngubani phakathi kwabo ongamemezela lokhu , asizwise izinto zakuqala ; mabalethe ofakazi babo ukuba balungisiswe, bezwe, bathi: Kuyiqiniso.

Izilwane zasendle ziyakungidumisa, amakhanka nezintshe, ngokuba ngiveza amanzi ehlan e nemifula kwahlongasib i ukuphuzisa abantu bami abakhethiweyo,

Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Bheka, ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwakho inkemba, nginqume kuwe abantu nezilwane.

Abafokazi, abesabekayo bezizwe , bawunqumile, bawushiya. Amagatsha awo awele ezintabeni nasezigodini , nezingatsha zawo zaphukile kuyo yonke imifudlana yezwe, nabo bonke abantu behlile emthunzini wawo, bawushiya.

Ngiyakwenza ukuba abantu abaningi bamangale ngawe , amakhosi abo aqhakanyeke, lapho ngisikaza ngenkemba phambi kwawo , aqhaqhazele imizuzwana yonke , kube yileyo naleyo ngokuphila kwayo ngosuku lokuwa kwakho.

Ndodana yomuntu, khuluma kubantwana babantu bakho, uthi kubo: Lapho ngehlisela phezu kwezwe inkemba , abantu bezwe bese bethatha umuntu phakathi kwabo, bambeke umlindi wabo,

nalapho yena esebona inkemba yehla phezu kwezwe , abethe icilongo , axwayise abantu,

Kepha uma umlindi ebona inkemba yehla , angabethi icilongo , abantu bangaxwayi, bese yehla inkemba, isuse umuntu kubo , uyasuswa ngenxa yobubi bakhe kepha igazi lakhe ngiyakulibiza esandleni somlindi.

Kepha nina zintaba zakwa -Israyeli niyakuveza amagatsha enu , nithelele abantu bami izithelo zenu, ngokuba sebeseduze ukubuya.

Ngiyakwandisa abantu phezu kwenu , yonke indlu yakwa -Israyeli, yonke yayo; imizi iyakuhlalwa, nezindawo ezichithekileyo ziyakwakhiwa.

Ngiyakwandisa phezu kwenu abantu nezilwane ; kuyakwanda, kuzale; ngiyakwenza ukuba nihlalwe njengakuqala, kube kuhle kini kunakuqala, nazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

Ngiyakuhambisa abantu phezu kwenu , abantu bami u -Israyeli; bayakukuzuza, ube yifa labo; awusayikubaphuca abantwana.

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Ngokuba bathi kuwe : Wena ungodlayo abantu, waphucile abantwana besizwe sakini,

ngalokho awusayikudla abantu , ungasaphuci abantwana besizwe sakini, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Angisayikukuzwisa ihlazo labezizwe , ungasathwali amahloni abantu , ungasakhubekisi isizwe sakini, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Nangalokhu ngiyakucelwa yindlu yakwa - Israyeli ukuba ngiyenzele: ngiyakuyandisela abantu njengezimvu.

Lapho abantu bakho bekhuluma kuwe , bathi: U ngesitshele ukuthi lezi ziyini kuwe na?

iGomere nawo onke amaviyo alo , indlu kaThogarma ngasekugcineni kwasenyakatho nawo onke amaviyo akhe, abantu abaningi kanye nawe.

Ngalokho profetha , ndodana yomuntu , uthi kuGogi : Isho kanje iNko si uJehova, ithi: Ngalolo suku , lapho abantu bami u -Israyeli behlala belondekile, angithi uyakukwazi na?

Bonke abantu bezwe bayakubembela , kube ludumo lwabo ngosuku engiyakukhazimuliswa ngalo, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Bayakwahlukanisa njalo abantu abayakudabula izwe , bembele ababedabula besasele ebusweni bomhlaba, baze balihlambulule; bayakucinga ngasekugcineni kwezinyanga eziyisikhombisa.

Lapho bephumela egcekeni elingaphandle , igceke elingaphandle labantu , bayakukhumula izambatho zabo abakhonza ngazo , bazibeke emakamelweni angcwele, bembathe ezinye izingubo, funa bangcwelise abantu ngezambatho zabo.

Bayakufundisa abantu bami ukwahlukanisa okungcwele nokuyichilo, benze umahluko phakathi kokungcolileyo nokuhlambulukileyo.

Kuyakuba yifa laso ezweni lakwa -Israyeli, izikhulu zami zingasacindezeli abantu bami, kepha zinike indlu yakwa-Israyeli njengezizwe zayo.

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Makwanele kini nina zikhulu zakwa - Israyeli; susani ubudlova nokuphanga, nenze ukwahlulela nokulunga, niyeke ukuxosha abantu bami, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Bonke abantu bezwe bayakuba kulo mnikelo wesikhulu sakwa-Israyeli.

Abantu bayakukhuleka esivalweni salelo sango phambi kukaJehova ngamasabatha nangokwethwasa kwenyanga.

Kepha lapho abantu bezwe bengena phambi kukaJehova emikhosini emisiweyo, ongena ngen dlela yesango lasenyakatho ukuyokhuleka uyakuphuma ngendlela yesango laseningizimu ; ongena ngendlela yesango laseningizimu uyakuphuma ngendlela yesango lasenyakatho ; kayikubuya ngendlela yesango angene ngalo , kepha kuyakuphunywa kwelimalungana nalo.

Isikhulu asiyikuthatha efeni labantu ukubaphuca imfuyo yabo ; sithatha emfuyweni yaso siyakuwanika amadodana aso ifa ukuze abantu bami bangahlukani, kube yilowo nalowo nemfuyo yakhe.

Wathi kimi: Nansi indawo lapho abapristi beyakuphekela khona umnikelo wecala nomnikelo wesono, nalapho beyakwenza khona umnikelo wempuphu, ukuze bangawuphumiseli egcekeni elingaphandle, bangcwelise abantu.

Ezinsukwini zalawo makhosi uNkulunkulu wasezulwini uyakumisa umbuso ongasoze wachithwa nobukhosi bawo bungayikushiyelwa kwabanye abantu , kepha uyakuchoboza, uqede yonke le mibuso, wona uqobo ume phakade.

Ngalokho lapho abantu bezwa ukukhala kwecilongo , negenkle, nehabhu, nomqangala, nogubhu, nazo zonke izinhlobo zokubethwa, bonke abantu , nezizwe, nezilimi bawa phansi , bakhuleka esithombeni segolide asimisile yo uNebukadinesari inkosi.

UDariyu inkosi wayeselobela bonke abantu , nezizwe, nezilimi ezikhona emhlabeni wonke ukuthi: Ukuthula makwande kinina.

Ngenza isiyalezo ukuba ekubuseni konke kombuso wami abantu bathuthumele, besabe phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaDaniyeli , ngokuba unguNkulunkulu ophilayo , umi kuze kube phakade , nombuso wakhe yiwo ongayikuchithwa, nokubusa kwakhe kuyakuma kuze kube sekupheleni.

Manje, Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wethu, wena owakhipha abantu bakho ezweni laseGibithe ngesandla esinamandla, wazenzela igama njenganamuhla, sonile, senzile okubi.

Amasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa anqunyelwe abantu bakho nomuzi wakho ongcwele ukuqeda iziphambeko , nokukhawula izono , nokwenza ukubuyisana ngobubi, nokungenisa ukulunga okuphakade , nokunamathelisa umbono nesiprofetho, nokugcoba indlu engcwelengcwele.

Mina, Daniyeli, kuphela ngawubona umbono , ngokuba abantu ababe nami abawubonanga umbono , kepha behlelwa ngukuthuthumela okukhulu , babaleka ukuba bacashe.

Sengifikile ukuba ngikuqondise okuyakwehlela abantu bakho ngezinsuku ezizayo, ngokuba umbono usenezinsuku.

Bheka, onesimo samadodana abantu wathinta izindebe zami ; ngase ngiwuvula umlomo wami , ngakhuluma, ngathi komi phambi kwami : Nkosi yami, ngenxa yombono imihelo ingehlele, angisenamandla.

Ngezwa umuntu owembethe ilineni , owayephezu kwamanzi omfula ; waphakamisela isandla sakhe sokunene nesandla sa khe sokhohlo ezulwini , wamfunga ophila kuze kube phakade ukuthi kuyakuba ngokwesikhathi , nezikhathi, nenxenye, nalapho sebeqedile ukuphohloza amandla abantu abangcwele, zonke lezo zinto ziyakuqedwa.

Wayesethi uJehova: Qamba igama layo ngokuthi uLo-Ami, ngokuba anisibo abantu bami, mina angiyikuba nguNkulunkulu wenu.

Nokho umumo wabant wana bakwa -Israyeli uyakuba ngangesihlabathi solwandle esingenakulinganiswa , singenakubalwa; kuyakuthi esikhundleni sokuba kuthiwe kubo : Anisibo abantu bami , kuthiwe kubo: Ningamadodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.

Ngiyakuzitshalela yena ezweni , ngihawukele ongahawukelwanga, ngithi kwababengesibo abantu bami : Ningabantu bami , bona bathi : UnguNkulunkulu wethu.

Makungabikho ophikisana nomunye , asole omunye ; nokho abantu bakho bayakuphikisana nabapristi.

Abantu bami babuza emthini, induku yabo ibatshele , ngokuba umoya wobufebe ubadukisile, basuka phansi kukaNkulunkulu wabo ngokufeba.

Angiyikuwajezisa amadodakazi enu, lapho efeba, nawomakoti benu lapho bephinga, ngokuba namadoda achezukela iziphingi , ahlaba kanye nezifebe zethempeli. Kanjalo abantu abangenangqondo bayakuwiswa.

Abantu bami bahlose ukuhlehla kimi ; noma bebabizela kongaPhezulu kangakanani, akakho oziphakamisayo.

Manje benezela ekoneni , bazenzele imifanekiso ebunjiweyo ngesiliva lab o nezithombe ngokuqonda kwabo, zonke ziyimisebenzi yezinyanga; bakhuluma ngabo, bathi: Bahlaba abantu, kepha banga amathole.

Phambi kwabo abantu bayathuthumela, bonke ubuso buyaphaphatheka.

buthani abantu , ningcwelise ibandla , niqoqe abada la, nibuthe izingane nabancelayo; umyeni makaphume ekamelweni lakhe , nomakoti emgonqweni wakhe.

Abapristi, izikhonzi zikaJehova, mabakhale phakathi kompheme ne -altare, bathi: Hawukela abantu bakho , Jehova, unganikeli isabelo sakho sibe yinhlamba, ukuze abezizwe bababhinqe ; yini ukuba basho phakathi kwabantu, bathi: Uphi uNkulunkulu wabo na?

Niyakudla nokudla , nisuthe, nilidumise igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu oniphathe ngokumangalisayo; abantu bami abayikujabha kuze kube phakade.

Niyakwazi ukuthi ngiphakathi kuka -Israyeli nokuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, akakho omunye ; abantu bami abayikujabha kuze kube phakade.

Ngiyakwaphula imigoqo yaseDamaseku , nginqume abakhileyo eBikati Aveni, nophethe intonga eBeti Edene, abantu base-Aramu bathunjelwe eKhiri, usho uJehova.

Abantu baseNineve bakholwa nguNkulunkulu; bamemezela ukuzila ukudla, bembatha izindwangu zamas aka, kusukela kwabakhulu babo kwaze kwaba kwabancane.

mina-ke bengingayikulihawukela iNineve , umuzi omkhulu , okukuwo abantu abangaphezu kwezinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amabili abangakwazi ukwahlukanisa isandla sokunene nesokhohlo, kanye nezinkomo eziningi, na?

Kepha kade bevukile abantu bami baba yizitha ; nihlubula ingubo esambathweni sabadlula ngethemba, befulathele ukulwa.

Uzakuzala indodana , uyiqambe igama lokuthi uJesu , ngokuba nguye oyakusindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo.

UJesu walihamba lonke elaseGalile efundisa emasinagogeni abo , eshumayela ivangeli lombuso , ephulukisa abantu ezifweni zonke nasebuthakathakeni bonke.

Ngakho-ke oweqa owodwa kule m iyalo emincinyane , afundise abantu kanjalo, uyakuthiwa omncinyane embusweni wezulu ; kepha oyigcinayo , ayifundise, lowo uyakuthiwa mkhulu embusweni wezulu.

Kepha izixuku zikubona zethuka , zamdumisa uNkulunkulu onikile abantu amandla anjalo.

Base behamba beshumayela ukuba abantu baphenduke.

Yabheka, yathi: Ngibona abantu, ngibabona behamba; kungathi yizihlahla.

UJesu wayesephuma kanye nabafundi bakhe , waya emizini yaseKesariya Filipi. Besendleleni, wababuza abafundi bakhe , wathi kubo : Abantu bathi ngingubani na?

Wasuka lapho , weza emikhawulweni yaseJudiya nangaphesheya kweJordani; izixuku zabuye zabuthana kuye , waphinda wabafundisa abantu njengokujwayela kwakhe.

Abantu bemlindele uZakariya bamangala ngokulibala kwakhe ethempelini.

Mayibongwe iNkosi, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ngokuba ibahambele abantu bayo, yabenzela inkululeko.

Esengene komunye wemikhumbi ongokaSimoni wamcela ukuba asuke kancane emhlabathini. Wahlala phansi, wabafundisa abantu esemkhunjini.

kanjalo-ke noJakobe noJohane amadodana kaZebedewu ababesebenzisana noSimoni. UJesu wathi kuSimoni : Ungesabi; kusukela manje uzakubamba abantu.

Nibusisiwe, nxa abantu benizond a nanxa benicwasa , benithuka, belilahla igama lenu ngokungathi libi ngenxa yeNdodana yomuntu.

Maye kinina , nxa abantu bonke bekhuluma kahle ngani , ngokuba oyise babo benze njalo kubaprofethi bamanga!

Njengalokhu nithanda ukuba abantu benze kini, yenzani njalo kubo.

Bafikelwa ngukwesaba bonke , bamdumisa uNkulunkulu , bathi: Kuvele umprofethi omkhulu phakathi kwethu , nokuthi: UNkulunkulu ubahambele abantu bakhe.

Abantu bonke , yebo, nabathelisi sebezwile bamvuma uNkulunkulu , babhapathizwa ngombhapathizo kaJohane.

Pho-ke, abantu balesi sizukulwane ngiyakubafanisa nani na ? Bafana nani na?

Kwakukhona abantu ababili abanamacala kumtshelekisi othile ; icala lomunye lalingodenariyu abangamakhulu ayisihlanu , elomunye amashumi ayisihlanu.

Abantu bonke bakulelo zwe lamaGerasa bamcela ukuba amuke kubo , ngokuba babephethwe ngukwesaba okukhulu ; yena wayesengena emkhunjini, waphindela emuva.

Seliqala ukushona, beza kuye abayishumi nambili , bathi: Bamukise abantu ukuba baye emizaneni nasezweni elizungezileyo , bangenise, bathole ukudla, ngokuba lapha sisendaweni eyihlane.

Kwathi ekhuleka ngasesitha , abafundi babe naye ; wababuza ethi : Abantu bathi ngingubani na?

Wakhipha idemoni , laliyisimungulu; kwathi seliphumile idemoni , wakhuluma oyisimungulu; abantu bamangala.

Kepha wathi : Maye nakinina zazimthetho , ngokuba nithwesa abantu imithwalo ethwaleka kalukhuni ! Nina-ke uqobo lwenu aniyithinti leyo mithwalo nangowodwa weminwe yenu.

Wayesethi kubo : Nina ningabazishaya abalungileyo emehlweni abantu ; kepha uNkulunkulu uyazazi izinhliziyo zenu , ngokuba lokho okuphakemeyo phakathi kwabantu kuyisinengiso emehlweni kaNkulunkulu.

Abantu ababili benyukela ethempelini beya kukhuleka , omunye engumFarisi, omunye engumthelisi.

UmFarisi wema wazikhulekela ngokuthi : Nkulunkulu, ngiyakubonga ngokuba ngingenjengabanye abantu : izigcwelegcwele, abangalungile, iziphingi, nanjengalo mthelisi.

Kepha abantu bomuzi wakhe babemzonda , bathuma amanxusa emva kwakhe, bethi: Asithandi ukuba lo abuse phezu kwethu.

Kodwa babengatholi ukuthi bangenzani , ngokuba abantu bonke babebambelela kuye bemuzwa.

Kwathi ngolunye lwezinsuku lezo esafundisa abantu ethempelini , eshumayela ivangeli , abapristi abakhulu nababhali bekanye namalunga bamvukela.

Kepha uma sithi : Kubantu, abantu bonke bazakusikhanda ngamatshe , ngokuba bakholiwe ukuthi uJohane ungumprofethi.

Ababhali nabapristi bafuna ukumbamba khona lapho, kepha besaba abantu, ngokuba bazi ukuthi uwukhulumile lo mfanekiso ngabo.

Besalalele abantu bonke, wathi kubafundi bakhe:

abantu baphele amandla ngokwesaba nangokubheka okuvelela umhlaba ngokuba amandla ezulu ayakunyakaziswa.

Ekuseni abantu bonke beza kuye ethempelini ukumuzwa.

Abapristi abakhulu nababhali bafuna ukuba bangambulala kanjani; ngokuba babesaba abantu. Umvuzo wokumkhaphela uJesu (Math. 26:14; Mark. 14:10)

Kwathi sekusile, kwabuthana amalunga abantu nabapristi abakhulu nababhali, bamyisa emphakathini wabo,

Kwayikhona beqinisa kakhulu , bethi: Uvusa abantu efundisa kulo lonke laseJudiya, eqalile kwelaseGalile, waze wafika lapha.

wathi kubo: Nilethe kimi lo muntu ngokuthi ungodukisa abantu . Bhekani, mina ngimhlolile phambi kwenu , kepha angifumananga cala lalezo zinto enimmangalela ngazo;

Abantu bema , bebukela; nababusi bamklolodela bathi : Wasindisa abanye; kazisindise yena, uma enguKristu okhethiweyo kaNkulunkulu.

Ukwahlulela kuyilokhu ukuba ukukhanya kufikile ezweni , kepha abantu bathanda ubumnyama kunokukhanya, ngokuba imisebenzi yabo ibimibi.

UJesu wathi : Bahlaliseni abantu . Kwakukhona utshani obuningi kuleyo ndawo. Ahlala phansi-ke amadoda, umumo wawo kungathi izinkulungwame eziyisihlanu.

Kwathi-ke abantu bebona isibonakaliso uJesu asenzayo , bathi: Impela lo ungumProfethi ozayo ezweni.

Kwaba khona ukukhonona okukhulu ngaye phakathi kwezixuku . Abanye bathi: Muhle; abanye bathi: Qha, ngokuba udukisa abantu.

Ekuseni kakhulu wabuye weza ethempelini ; abantu bonke beza kuye ; wayesehlala phansi, wabafundisa.

aniqondi futhi ukuthi kunilungele ukuba umuntu oyedwa afele abantu , isizwe sonke singabhubhi.

Ngangomuso abantu abaningi abafike emkhosini sebezwile ukuthi uJesu uyeza eJerusalema,

Ngakho abantu ababemi bezwa bathi : Beliduma; abanye bathi : Ingelosi ikhulume kuye.

Ngakho abalamukeleyo izwi lakhe babhapathizwa , kwenezelwa ngalowo muhla abantu kungathi izinkulungwane ezintathu. Ibandla laseJerusalema

Abantu bonke bambona ehamba, edumisa uNkulunkulu.

Esabambelele koPetru noJohane, bonke abantu bagijimela kubo emphemeni othiwa okaSolomoni, besaba kakhulu.

benengwa ngukufundisa kwabo abantu nokumemezela ngoJesu ukuvuka kwabafileyo,

bavusa abantu namalunga nababhali, bamvukela, bambamba, bamyisa emphakathini;

Kepha kwabanye akwabakho owayenesibindi sokuzihlanganisa nabo, kepha abantu babebazisa kakhulu;

Kepha kwafika omunye , wababikela wathi : Bhekani, amadoda ebeniwafakile etilongweni emi ethempelini, afundisa abantu.

Khona yaphuma induna kanye nezikhonzi , zabaletha, kungengampoqo, ngokuba bebesaba abantu, funa bakhandwe ngamatshe.

Kwase kusukuma omunye emphakathini , umFarisi ogama lakhe linguGamaliyeli, isazimthetho esitusekayo esizweni sonke , wayala ukuba abantu bakhishwe isikhashana;

Emva kwalowo kwasuka uJuda waseGalile ezinsukwini zokubhalwa ; wahlubukisa abantu ukuba bamlandele ; nalowo wabhubha , nabo bonke abamlalelayo bahlakazeka.

UJosefa wayesethumela wabiza u Jakobe uyise nabakubo bonke , abantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu.

Kepha sesisondele isikhathi sesithembiso uNkulunkulu asisho ku - Abrahama, banda abantu, baba baningi eGibithe,

wacela kuye izincwadi zokuya eD amaseku emasinagogeni, kuze kuthi uma efumana abantu baleyo Ndlela , abesilisa nabesifazane, abayise eJerusalema beboshiwe.

wayengumuntu okholwayo nowesaba uN kulunkulu kanye nendlu yakhe yonke, abela abantu abampofu izipho eziningi, ekhuleka kuNkulunkulu njalonjalo.

Ngokuba wayeyindoda enhle , egcwele uMoya oNgcwele nokukholwa ; kwenezelwa eNkosini abantu abaningi.

kwathi esemfumene , wamyisa e -Antiyokiya. Kwase kwenzeka ukuba umnyaka wonke bahlangane ebandleni , befundisa abantu abaningi. Kwaqala e-Antiyokiya ukuba abafundi bathiwe amaKristu. AmaKristu athumela izipho kubazalwane baseJudiya

Abantu bamemeza bathi: Yizwi likaNkulunkulu, akusilo elomuntu.

Sekufundiwe umthetho nabaprofethi, abaphathi besinagoge bathumela kubo, bathi: Madoda, bazalwane, uma ninezwi lokuyala abantu, khulumani.

UNkulunkulu walesi sizwe sakwa -Israyeli wabakhetha obaba, wabaphakamisa abantu bengabafokazi ezweni laseGibithe ; wabakhipha kulo ngengalo ephakemeyo.

abantu abadele ukuphila kwabo ngenxa yegama leNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.

bathi: Lo muntu uphendukisa abantu ukuba bakhonze uNkulunkulu ngokuphambene nomthetho.

kepha seniyabona, niyezwa futhi ukuthi akukuphela e -Efesu kodwa cishe kulo lonke i-Asiya uPawulu lona udukisile abantu abaningi ngokubancenga , ethi akusibo onkulunkulu labo abenziwe ngezandla.

Kepha umbhali esebathulisile abantu wathi: Madoda ase -Efesu, kukhona yini phakathi kwabantu ongaziyo ukuthi umuzi wase -Efesu ungumlondi wethempeli likaDiyana omkhulu nowesithombe esawa ezulwini na?

Umuzi wonke wanyakaziswa , abantu bagijimela ndawonye , bambamba uPawulu, bamhudulela ngaphandle kwethempeli ; iminyango yavalwa masinyane.

Esemvumele, uPawulu wema esikhwelweni , waqhweba abantu ngesandla ; sekuthe cwaka, wakhuluma ngolimi lwesiHeberu, wathi:

Abantu bakhona basiphatha ngobubele obungavamile, ngokuba babebasa umlilo, basamukela sonke ngenxa yemvula eyayisina nangenxa yamakhaza.

Abantu bakhona sebebona isilwane silenga esandleni sakhe , bakhuluma bodwa, bathi: Ngempela lo muntu ungumbulali othi noma esindile elwandle ukuLunga akuvumi ukuba aphile.

Ngakho-ke njengalokho isono sangena ezweni ngamuntu munye , nangesono kwangena ukufa, ngokunjalo ukufa kwafikela abantu bonke, lokhu bonke bonile;

nasendaweni lapha kwathiwa kubo : Anisibo abantu bami , lapho bayakubizwa ngokuthi: Abantwana bakaNkulunkulu ophilayo.

Nokho ngingathanda ukuba abantu bonke babe njengami ; kepha yilowo nalowo unesakhe isiphiwo somusa esivela kuNkulunkulu , omunye kanje , omunye kanje.

Futhi ningabi ngabakhonza izithombe njengabanye kubo , njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi : Abantu bahlala phansi ukuba badle , baphuze, basukuma ukuba badlale.

Ngakho lokhu sikwazi ukwesaba iNkosi , siyabancenga abantu; kepha sibonakalisiwe kuNkulunkulu; ngiyethemba ukuthi nakuye unembeza wenu sibonakalisiwe.

ngokuba sinakekela okuhle , kungesemehlweni eNkosi kuphela kodwa nasemehlweni abantu.

Ngalokho ut hi: Esenyukele phezul u wathumba abathunjiweyo, wapha abantu izipho.

ningathengi amehlo njengabathokozisa abantu , kodwa njengezinceku zikaKristu nenze intando kaNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo,

kepha njengokuba sivunyiwe nguNkulunkulu ukuba siphathiswe ivangeli , siyakhuluma ngokunjalo, singenzeli ukuthokozisa abantu kepha uNkulunkulu ovivinya izinhliziyo zethu.

ekwazi lokhu ukuthi umthetho awumiselwe olungileyo , umiselwe abangenamthetho namahlongandlebe , abangamesabi uNkulunkulu nabayizoni abahlazisayo nabadumazayo , nababulali bawonina , nababulala abantu,

Ngakho-ke kuqala kukho konke ngiyala ukuba ukunxusa , nokukhuleka, nokucela, nokubonga kwenzelwe abantu bonke,

othanda ukuba abantu bonke basindiswe, bafinyelele ekulazini iqiniso.

kepha uma ngilibala , khona uyakwazi ukuthi kumelwe ukuba abantu bahambe kanjani endlini kaNkulunkulu eyibandla likaNkulunkulu ophilayo, insika nesisekelo seqiniso.

Izono zabanye abantu zisobala, zibandulela ekwahlulelweni; kepha abanye ziyabalandela.

Kepha abafuna ukuceba bayela ekulingweni , nasesihibeni, nasezinkanukweni eziningi zobuwula ezilimazayo , ezishonisa abantu ekufeni nasekubhujisweni.

ngokuba abantu bazakuba ngabazithandayo , nabathandimali, nabazigabisayo, nabazidlayo, nabahlambalazayo, nabangalaleli abazali , nabangabongiyo, nabahlazisayo,

NjengoJane noJambre bamelana noMose , kanjalo laba bamelana neqiniso , abantu abonakele ingqondo, abehluleka enkolweni.

Kepha abantu ababi nabakhohlisi bazakuqhubekela phambili ebubini , bedukisa, bedukiswa.

Ngakho-ke kubasalele abantu bakaNkulunkulu ukuphumula kwesabatha.

Ngokuba y ilowo nalowo mpristi omkhulu okhethwa kubantu umiselwa abantu kokukaNkulunkulu , ukuze anikele izipho nemihlatshelo ngenxa yezono;

Ngokuba abantu bafunga omkhulu kunabo ; kubona isifungo siyaqeda ukuphikisana konke, siqinise.

Lapha-ke abantu abafayo bamukeliswa okweshumi , kepha lapho ngofakazelwa ukuthi uyaphila.

Ngokuba umthetho umisa abantu babe ngabapristi abakhulu abanobuthakathaka, kepha izwi lesifungo elaland ela umthetho limisa iNdodana epheleliswe kuze kube phakade.

Futhi njengalokhu kumiselwe abantu ukuba bafe kanye, emva k walokhu ukwahlulelwa,

Ngokuba siyamazi owathi: Ngeyami impindiselo, yimina engiyakubuyisela, futhi-ke: INkosi iyakubahlulela abantu bayo.

Ngakho-ke naye uJesu , ukuze angcwelise abantu n gegazi lakhe , wahlupheka ngaphandle kwesango.

Bazalwane bami , ukukholwa kwenu yiNkosi yethu yenkazimulo uJesu Kristu makungabi nokukhetha abantu.

kodwa uma nikhetha abantu , nenza isono , nilahlwa ngumthetho njengabaweqayo.

Ngalo sibonga iNkosi uBab a, nangalo siqalekisa abantu abenziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu;

kepha nina niluhlanga olukhethiweyo , ubupristi obobukhosi , isizwe esingcwele, abantu abazuziweyo , ukuze nishumayele ubukhosi balowo owanibiza niphume ebumnyameni , ningene ekukhanyeni kwakhe okumangalisayo;

ngokuba akuzange kuvezwe isiprofetho ngentando yomuntu, kepha abantu beqhutshwa nguMoya oNgcwele bakhuluma okukaNkulunkulu.

Thina singabakaNkulunkulu ; omaziyo uNkulunkulu uyasizwa , ongesiye okaNkulunkulu akasizwa . Ngalokho siyamazi umoya weqiniso nomoya wokuduka. Ukuthanda uNkulunkulu nokuthanda abantu

Ngokuba sebengenile ngokunyenya abantu abathile okwalotshwa ngabo phambili endulo ukuthi bayakwehlelwa y ilokhu kulahlwa , abangamesabi uNkulunkulu, bephendukezela umusa kaNkulunkulu wethu ube ngamanyala , bephika uMbusi oyedwa neNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.

Sasinemisila efana neyawofezela inezindosi , nasemisileni yaso kukhona amandla aso okona abantu izinyanga eziyisihlanu.

Ngalelo hora kwaba khona ukuzamazama okukhulu komhlaba , kwawa okweshumi komuzi , nangokuzamazama komhlaba kwabulawa abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa , nabaseleyo b ashaywa luvalo , bamdumisa uNkulunkulu wezulu.

Eyesine yayisithululela isitsha sayo elangeni; lase linikwa ukubashisa abantu ngomlilo.

Abantu bashiswa ngokushiswa okukhulu , kepha bahlambalaza igama likaNkulunkulu onamandla phezu kwalezi zinhlupho , kodwa abaphendukanga ukuba bamdumise.

Kwase kuba khona imibani , namazwi, nokuduma, kwaba khona nokuzamazama okukhulu komhlaba okungazange kube khona okunjalo , selokhu kwaba khona abantu emhlabeni , ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu kangaka.

Isichotho esikhulu esisinda njengetalenta sivela ezulwini sehlela phezu kwabantu; abantu bamhlambalaza uNkulunkulu ngenxa yohlupho lwesichotho, ngokuba uhlupho lwaso lulukhulu kakhulu.
