UJosefa wayeseyala ukuba amasaka abo agcwaliswe ngamabele , kubuyiselwe imali yalowo nalowo esakeni lakhe , baphiwe umphako endleleni; kwenziwa njalo kubo.

Inkosi yayaleza, alethwa lawo madoda ayemangalele uDaniyeli , aphonswa emphandwini wezingonyama , wona nabantwana bawo , nawomkawo; izingonyama zatheleka phezu k wabo, zachoboza amathambo abo , bengakafinyeleli phansi emphandwini.

Inhliziyo yabo yayahlukene; uyakuwaphula ama-altare abo, achithe izinsika zabo.

Izindawo eziphakemeyo zase -Aveni, isono sakwa -Israyeli, ziyakuchithwa; ameva namakhakhasi ayakukhuphukela ema -altare abo ; bayakuthi kuzo izintaba: Sisibekeleni, nakuwo amagquma: Welani phezu kwethu.

Uma iGileyadi linobubi , impela bayakuba ngabachithiwe; uma behlabela izinkunzi eGiligali , ama-altare abo ayakuba njengezinqwab a ngasemiseleni yamasimu.

Basutha njengamadlelo abo; basutha, nenhliziyo yabo yaphakama; ngalokho bangikhohliwe.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Ngenxa yeziphambeko ezintathu zakwaJuda , yebo, ngenxa yezine , angiyikuguquka, ngokuba bawulahlile umthe tho kaJehova, abagcinanga izimiso zakhe , namanga abo abadukisile , abawalandelayo nawoyise.

Ngayibona iNkosi imi ngase -altare, yathi: Shaya izihloko zezinsika , ukuze imigulugulu izamazame , uzaphule phezu kwamakhanda abo bonke ; abaseleyo babo ngiyakubabulala ngenkemba; obalekayo kubo akayikubaleka, nophunyukayo kubo akayikuphunyuka.

Usho kanje uJehova : Ngabaprofethi abadukisa abantu bami , abathi, bese nakho okokuhlafuna ngamazinyo abo, bamemeze bathi: Ukuthula, nongabeki lutho emlonyeni wabo bamlungisele ukulwa.

Ababoni bayakuba namahloni, ababhuli bayangaze; bayakumboza amadevu abo bonke, ngokuba akuveli mpendulo kuNkulunkulu.

Izimiso zika-Omri ziyagcinwa, nazo zonke izenzo zendlu ka-Ahabi; nihamba ngamacebo abo; ngalokho ngiyakunenza incithakalo nabakhileyo khona into encimfelwayo; niyakuthwala ihlazo labantu bami.

Abezizwe bayakubona , babe namahloni ngamandla abo onke , babeke isandla sabo emlonyeni wabo, izindlebe zabo zibe yizithulu.

Yikho okuyakuba ngukushaya uJehova ayakushaya ngakho bonke abantu abalwe neJerusalema : inyama yab o iyakudleka besemi ngezinyawo zabo , namehlo abo ayakuphelela ezikhoxeni zawo , ulimi lwabo ludleke emlonyeni wabo.

Esedlulela phambili wabona ezinye izelamani ezimbili , uJakobe kaZebedewu, noJohane umfowabo, besemkhunjini kanye noZebedewu uyise , belungisa amanetha abo; wababiza.

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

UJesu wayihamba imizi yonke nemizana efundisa emasinagogeni abo , eshumayela ivangeli lombuso, ephulukisa izifo zonke nokugula konke.

Kepha xwayani abantu , ngokuba bayakunikhaphela emiphakathini, banishaye emasinagogeni abo.

Kepha bephakamisa amehlo abo ababonanga muntu, kuphela uJesu yedwa.

Kepha imisebenzi yonke yabo bayenza ukuba babonwe ngabantu ; amafilakteriyu abo bawenza abe banzi, bawenze abe makhulu amachopho.

Esebuya futhi wabafumana belele, ngokuba amehlo abo ayenzima.

Kepha abadlulayo bamhlambalaza benikina amakhanda abo,

Wahamba eshumayela emasinagogeni abo kulo lonke iGalile, ekhipha amademoni. UJesu uphilisa umuntu onochoko (Math. 8:1; Luk. 5:12)

Walikhuluma izwi kubo ngemifanekiso eminingi enjalo njengamandla abo okuzwa;

Esebuya futhi wabafumana belele, ngokuba amehlo abo ayenzima ; babengazi ukuthi bazakumphendula ngokuthini.

Abadlulayo bamhlambalaza benikina amakhanda abo , bathi: Eya wena odiliza ithempeli, ubuye ulakhe ngezinsuku ezintathu;

njengalokho basinika zona l abo ababekhona kwasekuqaleni , bezibonela ngamehlo, beyizikhonzi zezwi,

Wafundisa emasinagogeni abo edunyiswa yibo bonke.

Wayigoqonga incwadi , wayinika isikhonzi , wahlala; amehlo abo bonke ababesesinagogeni amgqolozela.

Sebekwenzile lokho babamba izinhlanzi eziningi kakhulu , aze agqabuka amanetha abo.

Ngalokho ningofakazi , nivuma imisebenzi yawoyihlo ; ngokuba bona bababulala, nina-ke niyawakha amathuna abo.

Kepha amehlo abo abebambekile ukuba bangamazi.

Amehlo abo ayesevuleka, bamazi; wayesenyamalala kubo.

Uphuphuthekisile amehlo abo , wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yabo , funa babone ngamehlo, baqonde ngenhliziyo, baphenduke, ngibaphulukise.

Kwathi eseshilo lokho, wakhushulwa bebuka; ifu lamsusa emehlweni abo.

ukuvula amehlo abo ukuba basuke ebumnyameni , baphendukele ekukhanyeni, basuke emandleni kaSathane , baphendukele kuNkulunkulu , ukuze bamukeliswe ukuthethelelwa kwezono nesabelo phakathi kwabangcwelisiweyo ngokukholwa kimi.

Ukwesaba uNkulunkulu akukho phambi kwamehlo abo.

kufiphazwe amehlo abo ukuba angaboni, ugobe umhlane wabo njalo. Ngokungakholwa kuka-Israyeli insindiso yafika kwabezizwe

kodwa ngizakuza kini masinyane , uma iNkosi ivuma, ukuze ngazi, angisho amazwi alaba abakhukhumeleyo kepha amandla abo.

Uma-ke bethanda ukufunda utho , mababuze emadodeni abo emakhaya ; ngokuba kuyihlazo ukuba owesifazane akhulume ebandleni.

Abafazi mabathobele amadoda abo kungathi kukuyo iNkosi,

Yebo, ngiyakunxusa nawe ma na wami oqotho , yelekelela labo besifazane , lokhu babambisana nami evangelini , kanye noKlemente nezinye izisebenzi zami abamagama abo asencwadini yokuphila.

Ngokukholwa wamisa iPhasika nokufafaza ngegazi , ukuze umbhubhisi angathinti amazibulo abo.

Ngokuba kade babezihlobisa kanjalo abesifazane abangcwele abamethembayo uNkulunkulu, bethobela amadoda abo,

nabaningi bayakulandela amanyala abo ; ngenxa yabo indlela yeqiniso iyakuhlanjalazwa;

ngokuba iWundlu elingaphakathi nesihlalo sobukhosi liyakubelusa , libaholele emithonjeni yamanzi okuphila ; noNkulunkulu uyakwesula izinyembezi zonke emehlweni abo.

Kwathiwa kuso masingoni utshani bomhlaba , nanye into e luhlaza, nowodwa umuthi, kuphela labo bantu abangenalo uphawu lukaNkulunkulu emabunzini abo.

Ngase ngibona; bheka, iWundlu limi entabeni yaseSiyoni , kumi kanye nalo abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane , benegama lalo negama likaYise lilotshwe emabunzini abo.

Ngase ngizwa izwi livela ezulwini , linjengezwi lamanzi amaningi nanjengezwi lokuduma okuk hulu; nezwi engalizwayo lalinjengelababetha amahabhu, bebetha amahabhu abo.

Isilo owasibonayo sasikhona , asisekho; kepha sesizakwenyuka , siphuma kwalasha, siye ekubhujisweni; nabakhileyo emhlabeni bayakumangala , labo abamagama abo angalotshwanga encwadini yokuphila , selokhu kwasekelwa izwe, nxa bebona isilo ukuthi sasikhona , kepha asisekho , kanti sizakuba khona.

Base bethela uthuli emakhanda abo , badazuluka bekhala , belila bethi : Maye, maye kuwe muzi omkhulu, abacebile kuwe bonke abanemikhumbi elwandle ngenxa yengcebo enqabileyo yakho , ngokuba ngehora linye nje uchithekile!

azesule izinyembezi zonke emehlweni abo ; ukufa akusayikuba khona ; nokudabuka, nokukhala, nobuhlungu akusayikuba khona ; ngokuba okokuqala kudlulile.
