UJehova wayesewuphendula umoya waba ngowasentshonalanga onamandla amakhulu ; wona wasusa isikhonyane , wasilahla eLwandle Olubomvu; akwasala sikhonyane nesisodwa ezweni lonke laseGibithe.

Zithabathele amakha amahle, imure eliphumayo lamashekeli angamakhulu ayisihlanu, nokinamona othaphukayo wenxenye yalokho , okungukuthi amakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu , nekalamu elithaphukayo lamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu,

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

Lokhu ebethanda oyihlo wakhetha inzalo yabo emva kwabo , wakukhipha yena uqobo ngamandla akhe amakhulu eGibithe

Nokho bangabantu bakho nefa lakho owalikhipha ngamandla akho amakhulu nangengalo yakho eyeluliweyo.

Kuyakuthi mhla niwela iJordani ukuya ezweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona, uzimisele amatshe amakhulu, uwanameke ngodaka,

Kwathi besabalekela u -Israyeli behla eBeti Horoni , uJehova wawisa phezu kwabo amatshe amakhulu , ehla ezulwini , baze bafika e -Azeka, bafa; babe baningi abafa ngesichotho kunababulawa ngu-Israyeli ngenkemba.

UJoshuwa wathi : Gingqelani amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni womhume , nibeke amadoda ngakuwo ukuba awalinde;

Kwathi ngesikhathi sokushona kwe langa uJoshuwa wayala , bawehlisa emithini, bawaphonsa emhumeni lapho ebecashe khona , babeka amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni womhume; akhona nanamuhla. Ukunqotshwa kwemizi ngaseningizimu yaseKhanani

UJoshuwa wayesekhuluma kuyo indlu kaJosefa , naku-Efrayimi, nakuManase, ethi: Uyisizwe esikhulu , unamandla amakhulu ; awuyikuba nasabelo esisodwa nje;

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.

Amakhosi amaFilisti enyukela kuye , athi kuye : Myenge, ubone ukuthi amandla akhe amakhulu aphi nokuthi singamahlula ngani ukuba simbophe , simnqobe; siyakukunika, kube yilowo nalowo, izinhlamvu eziyinkulungwane nekhulu zesiliva.

UDelila wathi kuSamsoni : Ake ungitshele ukuthi amandla akho amakhulu aphi nokuthi ungaboshwa ngani, unqotshwe.

UDavide nguye owayengomncinyane ; amathathu amakhulu amlandela uSawule.

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

Amadodana amathathu amakhulu kaJese ayemlandele uSawule ukuya empini; amagama amadodana akhe amathathu ayeyile empin i ayengu - Eliyabe izibulo, emelamayo ngu-Abinadaba, neyesithathu nguShama.

Inkosi yayala , baqopha amatshe amakhulu , amatshe anenani elikhulu , ukuba babeke isisekelo sendlu ngamatshe abaziweyo.

Nesisekelo sasingamatshe anenani elikhulu , amatshe amakhulu , amatshe ayizingalo eziyishumi, namatshe ayizingalo eziyisishiyagalombili.

kepha uJehova owanikhuphula ezweni laseGibithe ngamandla amakhulu nangengalo eyeluliweyo yena niyakumesaba , kuyena niyakukhothamela , nimhlabele yena;

Zase zinikela ngenhliziyo izikhulu zawoyise , nezikhulu zezizwe zakwa - Israyeli, nezinduna zezinkulungwane nez amakhulu kanye nezinduna zomsebenzi wenkosi;

Phansi kwezandl a zabo kwakukhona impi enamandla eyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu nezinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu ayisihlanu, eyalwa ngamandla amakhulu ukuba isize inkosi ezitheni.

Wenza eJerusalema imishini eyaqanjwa ngokuhlakanipha ukuba ibe phezu kwemibhoshongo nasezingosini , kuphonswe ngayo imicibisholo namatshe amakhulu. Igama lakhe laphumela ekudeni , ngokuba wasizwa ngokumangalisayo waze waba namandla.

Makwazeke enkosini ukuthi saya ezweni lakwaJuda endlini kaNkulun kulu omkhulu eyakhiwe ngamatshe amakhulu , imithi ifakwe ezindongeni ; lo msebenzi uqhubeka ngesineke, unempumelelo ezandleni zabo.

ayibe nezinhla ezintathu zamatshe amakhulu , nohla lwemithi emisha , izindleko zikhishwe endlini yenkosi;

Bayizinceku zakho nabantu bakho obahlengile ngamandla akho amakhulu nangesandla sakho esiqinileyo.

Lapho isimemezelo senkosi eyakusenza sesiyakuzwakala embusweni wayo wonke, ngokuba mkhulu bonke abafazi bayakuwahlonipha amadoda abo , amakhulu namancane.

Ubeyakuphikisana nami ngamandla akhe amakhulu na ? Cha, ubeyakubhekisa kimi.

Ngamandla amakhulu umzimba wami wonakele ; unamathela kimi njengentamo yesambatho sami.

UJehova uyakunquma zonke izindebe ezithophayo , ulimi olukhuluma amazwi amakhulu,

Izwi likaJehova liphezu kwamanzi , uNkulunkulu wenkazimulo uyaduma ; uJehova uphezu kwamanzi amakhulu.

Ngakho-ke yilowo nalowo olungileyo makakhuleke kuw e ngesikhathi sokukufumana; impela kuyakuthi lapho amanzi amakhulu ekhukhula , angafinyeleli kuye.

Behlela elwandle ngemikhumbi, bathengiselana emanzini amakhulu.

owashaya amakhosi amakhulu, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade;

elithuma izigijimi ngolwandle nangemikhumbi yemihlanga phezu kwamanzi. Hambani nina zithunywa ezinejubane, niye esizweni esidephileyo nesikhazimulayo, kubantu abesabekayo lapha nasekudeni , isizwe esinamandla amakhulu nesinyathelayo, esilizwe laso lidatshulwe yimifula.

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.

Ngokuba bayakukhonziswa nabo yizizwe eziningi nangamakhosi amakhulu, ngiphindise kubo ngezenzo zabo nangemisebenzi yezandla zabo.

Mina ngenzile umhlaba , nomuntu, nesilwane okukhona emhlabeni ngamandla ami amakhulu nangengalo yami eyeluliweyo , ngiwunika lowo ofanele emehlweni ami.

Zonke izizwe ziyakumkhonza , yena nendodana yakhe , nendodana yendodana yakhe , kuze kufike isikhathi sezwe lakhe , izizwe eziningi namakhosi amakhulu babakhonzise.

E, Nkosi Jehova , bheka, wena wenzile izulu nomhlaba ngamandla akho amakhulu nangengalo yakho eyeluliweyo; akukho lutho olukwahlulayo

Thatha ngesandla sakho amatshe amakhulu , uwashiqele odakeni kuhonela ongasemnyango wendlu kaFaro eThahipanesi emehlweni abantu bakwaJuda,

Wena ohlala ngasemanzini amakhulu , nonengcebo eningi , sekufikile ukugcina kwakho, isilinganiso sokuhaha kwakho.

ngokuba uJehova uyalichitha iBabele , aqede phakathi kwalo umsindo omkhulu; amaza alo ayahlokoma njengamanzi amakhulu , nomsindo wokuhlokoma kwawo uyezwakala,

uthi: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Ukhozi olukhulu olunamaphiko amakhulu noluzimpaphe zalo zinkulu, lugcwele izimpaphe ezinemibala eyahlukeneyo, lweza eLebanoni, lwathatha isihloko somsedari,

Kepha kwakukhona nolunye ukhozi olukhulu olunamaphiko amakhulu nezimpaphe eziningi ; bheka, lo mvini wabhekisa izimpande zawo kulo , waphumisela kulo amagatsha awo ukuba luwunisele kunemisele lapho wawutshalwe khona.

Thana: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Uyakuphumelela na? Aluyikusiphula izimpande zawo , lunqume izithelo zawo , ukuze ubune , kubune onke amaqabunga ahlumelelayo , bese kungafuneki amandla amakhulu nabantu abaningi ukuwusiphula ngezimpande zawo, na?

Umuzi uyakuba namadlelo : ngasenyakatho ngamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu , nangaseningizimu amakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu, nangasempumalanga amakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu , nangasentshonalanga amakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu.

Emva kwalokho ngabona emibonweni ebusuku ; bheka, isilo sesine , esesabekayo, sinamandla, siqinile kakhulu; sasinamazinyo amakhulu ensimbi, sadla, saphula, sanyathela okuseleyo ngezinyawo zaso ; sahlukile kuzo zonke izilo ezazingaphambi kwaso; sasinezimpondo eziyishumi.

Ngabheka ngaleso sikhathi ngenxa yenhlokomo yamazwi amakhulu akhulunywa luphondo; ngabheka saze sahlatshwa isilo , wachithwa umzimba waso, sanikelwa ukuba sishiswe ngomlilo.

Iyakuba namandla amakhulu, ingenamandla eyokuqala kodwa; iyakuchitha ngokumangalisayo, iphumelele ukukwenza ; iyakuchitha abanamandla nabantu abangcwele.

kodwa nxa isihlwanyelwe imila ibe nkulu kunazo zonke izilimo , ixhante amagatsha amakhulu, ukuze izinyoni zezulu zakhele emthunzini wawo.

Khona-ke bayakubona iNdodana yomuntu iza emafwini , inamandla amakhulu nenkazimulo.

Bethuka bonke ngamandla amakhulu kaNkulunkulu. UJesu ukhuluma futhi ngokuhlupheka kwakhe (Math. 17: 22; Mark. 9: 30) Besamangele bonke ngakho konke akwenzileyo, wathi kubafundi bakhe:

Abaphostoli baveza ngamandla amakhulu ubufakazi ngokuvuka kweNkosi uJesu; umusa omkhulu wawuphezu kwabo bonke.

Ngokuba ngaphambi kwalezi zinsuku kwasuka uThewuda ezishaya omkhulu; kwanamathela kuye amadoda angathi amakhulu amane; wabulawa yena nabo bonke abamlalelayo, bachitheka, baphela.

emva kwalokho wabonwa ngasikhathi sinye ngabazalw ane abadlula amakhulu ayisihlanu , iningi labo lisekhona nakalokhu , kepha abanye sebelele;

nokungubukhulu obumangalisayo bamandla akhe kithina esikholwayo , ngokokusebenza kwamandla akhe amakhulu

Elokugcina, qinani eNkosini nasemandleni ayo amakhulu.

Ingelosi yesikhombisa yayisibetha ; kwase kuba khona amazwi amakhulu ezulwini athi : Umbuso wezwe usungoweNkosi yethu nokaKristu wayo ; iyakubusa kuze kube phakade naphakade.

ethi: Siyakubonga, Nkosi Nkulunkulu , Mninimandla onke , okhona nowawukhona, ngokuba uthabathe amandla akho amakhulu, wabusa;

Emva kwalokho ngabona enye ingelosi yehla ezulwini, inamandla amakhulu, nomhlaba wakhanyiswa ngokukhazimula kwayo.
