Inkosi ehlezi esihlalweni sokwahlulela ihlakaza konke okubi ngamehlo ayo.

Ngidonse emva kwakho, sigijime; inkosi isingingenisile emakamelweni ayo. Abangane: Siyakujabula, sithokoze ngawe, sikhulume ngothando lwakho kunewayini. Umakoti: Kufanele ukuba bakuthande.

Vuka, moya wasenyakatho , uze wena Ningizimu , uphephethe ensimini yami, ukuze amakha ayo athaphuke; othandiweyo wami makangene ensimini yakhe, adle izithelo zayo ezinqabileyo.

Kuyakuthi lapho iNkosi isiqedile wonke umsebenzi wayo entabeni yaseSiyoni naseJerusalema, ijezise isithelo senhliziyo ezidlayo yenkosi yase - Asiriya nokuzikhukhumeza kwamehlo ayo aziphakamisayo.

Ngiyakusiphumisa, usho uJehova Sebawoti , S ingene endlini yesela nasendlini yofunga amanga ngegama lami , sihlale phakathi kwendlu yakhe , siyiqede kanye nemithi yayo namatshe ayo. Owesifazane ose-efeni*

UmKushe angasiguqula isikhumba sakhe , nengwe amabala ayo, na? Khona ningenza okuhle nina enifundisiwe ukwenza okubi.

Inkosi uJehoyakimi, nawo onke amaqhawe ayo, nazo zonke izikhulu bezwa amazwi akhe ; inkosi ya funa ukumbulala; kepha u-Uriya wakuzwa, wesaba, wabaleka, waya eGibithe.

Yiya endlini yamaRekabi , ukhulume kuwo , uwangenise endlini kaJehova kwelinye lamakamelo ayo, uwaphuzise iwayini.

icindezela abampofu nabaswelayo , iphanga nokuphanga , ingabuyisi isibambiso, iphakamisa amehlo ayo ezithombeni, yenza izinengiso;

Ingadli ezintabeni, ingaphakamisi amehlo ayo ezithombeni zendlu yakwa - Israyeli, ingangcolisi umkamakhelwane wayo;

Unyoko wayeyingonyamakazi enjani phakathi kwezingonyama! Yabuthisa phakathi kwamabhongo, yondla amawundlu ayo.

Yakhulisa elinye lamawundlu ayo , laba yibhongo ; lafunda ukubamba impango, ladla abantu.

Nxa isilindile , yabona ukuthi ithemba layo liphelile ; yathatha elinye lamawundlu ayo, yalenza ibhongo.

Wathi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, lokhu kuyindawo yesihlalo sami sobukhosi, nendawo yamathe ezinyawo zami , lapho ngiyakuhla la khona phakathi kwabantwana bakwa -Israyeli kuze kube phakade ; indlu yakwa -Israyeli ayisayikulingcolisa igama lami elingcwele , yona namakhosi ayo , ngokuphinga kwayo nangezidumbu zamakhosi ayo ezindaweni zayo eziphakemeyo,

Ngasemfuleni osebeni lwawo ngalapha nangalapha kuyakumila yonke imithi edliwayo emaqabunga ayo angayikubuna, nezithelo zayo zingayikuphela; iyakuthela ezintsha izinyanga zonke , ngokuba amanzi ayo avela endlini engcwele ; izithelo zayo ziyakuba ngukudla , amaqabunga ayo abe ngawokuphilisa. Imikhawulo yezwe elingcwele

Yayisiyaleza inkosi ukuba kubizwe izanusi , nabathwebulayo, nabalumbi, namaKaledi ukuba bachazele inkosi amaphupho ayo . Bangena, bema phambi kwenkosi.

Kwase kuguquka ukucwebez ela kwayo , nemicabango yayo yayesabisa , zaxhega izinyonga zokhalo lwayo, namadolo ayo ashayana.

Ngisacabanga, bheka, kwavela impongo ngasentshonalanga ebusweni bawo wonke umhlaba , ingawuthinti umhlaba kodwa; impongo yayinophondo oluqhamileyo emkhathini wamehlo ayo.

Impongo iyinkosi yaseJavini ; uphondo olukhulu olusemkhathini wamehlo ayo luyinkosi yokuqala.

Amadodana ayo ayakuhloma , abuthe isixuku sezimpi eziningi ; ziyakufika nokufika, zikhukhule, zidlule; ziyakubuya, zilwe kuze kube senqabeni yayo.

yiyona ewakhayo amakamelo ayo aphezulu ezulwini , isekele igobela lawo emhlabeni; yiyona ewabizayo amanzi olwandle , iwathululele ebusweni bomhlaba; nguJehova igama layo.

Ingonyama yadwengula okwanele amabhongo ayo , yabindela izingonyamakazi zayo ; yagcwalisa imiphandu yayo ngempang o nemigede yayo ngengcugco.

Kepha inkosi yathukuthela, yathuma amabutho ayo, yabulala labo babulali, yashisa umuzi wabo.

Iyakuthuma izingelosi zayo ngokukhala okukhulu kwecilongo , ziqoqe abakhethiweyo b ayo emimoyeni yomine , kusukela emkhawulweni omunye wezulu kuze kube komunye.

enye wayinika amatalenta ayisihlanu , enye aba mabili , enye laba linye , kwaba yileyo naleyo njengamandla ayo; wamuka-ke.

Wayibamba impumputhe ngesandla , wayiholela ngaphandle komuzi , wafela amathe emehlweni ayo , wabeka izandla phezu kwayo , wayibuza wathi: Ubona utho na?

Khona waphinda wabeka izandla phezu kwamehlo ayo , yabhekisisa, yasinda, yabonisisa konke.

Ngithi kini: Lo wehlela endlini yakhe elungisisiwe kunomunye . Ngokuba yilowo nalowo oziphakamisayo uzakuthotshiswa , kodwa ozithob ayo uzakuphakanyiswa. Ukubusiswa kwabantwana (Math. 19:13; Mark. 10:13)

Eseshilo lokho wafela amathe emhlabathini , wenza udaka ngamathe, waninda amehlo ayo ngodaka.

Elokugcina, qinani eNkosini nasemandleni ayo amakhulu.

yamemeza ngezwi elikhulu njengokubhonga kwengonyama , nalapho isimemezile, imidumo eyisikhombisa yezwakalisa amazwi ayo.
