Wayesekhuphuka u -Ahabi ukuba adle , aphuze. U-Eliya wakhuph ukela esiqongweni saseKarmeli , wakhothamela phansi , wabeka ubuso bakhe phakathi kwamadolo akhe.

U-Eliya esezwile lokho wagubuzela ubuso bakhe ngengubo yakhe , waphuma, wema emnyango womhume . Bheka, kwafika kuye izwi , lathi: Wenzani lapha, Eliya, na?

Wathi kuyo: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngokuba umyekile ukuba aphume esandleni sakho umuntu engangimqalekisile , ukuphila kwakho kuyakuba sesikhundleni sokuphila kwakhe, nabantu bakho babe sesikhundleni sabantu bakhe.

Wathi: Ngiyakuphuma ngibe ngumoya wamanga emilonyeni yabaprofethi bakhe bonke. Wayesethi: Uyakumyenga, futhi uyakumahlula; hamba, wenze njalo.

U-Elisha wakubona , wamemeza wathi : Baba, baba, nqola ka -Israyeli nabamahhashi bakhe ! Akabe esambona futhi ; wabamba izingubo zakhe , waziklebhula kabili. U-Elisha ungumprofethi; izimangaliso zakhe

Wayesebuyela kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu , yena nabantu bakhe bonke , weza, wema phambi kwakhe , wathi: Bheka, sengiyazi ukuthi akakho uNkulunkulu emhlabeni wonke, kwa-Israyeli kuphela; ngakho ake wamukele isipho encekwini yakho.

Uchoko lukaNahamani luyakunamathela kuwe nasenzalweni yakho kuze kube phakade . Wayesephuma yena ebusweni bakhe enochoko , emhlophe njengeqhwa.

Kepha uJehova akathandanga ukuchitha uJuda ngenxa kaDavide inceku yakhe njengokusho kwakhe kuye ukuthi uyakumnika yena nabantwana bakhe isibani izinsuku zonke.

Waphakamisela ubuso bakhe ngasefasiteleni , wathi: Ubani onami na ? Ngubani? Kwase kulunguza kuye izinduna ezimbili noma ezintathu.

UJehu wayesebulala bonke a baseleyo bendlu ka -Ahabi eJizreyeli , nabo bonke abakhulu bakhe , nabazana naye , nabapristi bakhe , waze wangamshiyela noyedwa owasalayo.

Ngalokho ngibizele bonke abaprofethi bakaBali, zonke izinceku zakhe, nabo bonke abapristi bakhe, kungasali muntu, ngokuba nginomhlatshelo omkhulu kuBali; bonke abafunyaniswa bengekho abayikuphila . Kepha uJehu wakwenza ngobuqili ukuba abhubhise izinceku zikaBali.

Khona uHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu wenyuka walwa neGati , walithatha; uHazayeli wabhekisa ubuso bakhe ukwenyukela eJerusalema.

U-Elisha esegula ngesifo afa ngaso, uJowashi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli wehlela kuye, wamkhalela wathi: Baba, Baba, nqola ka-Israyeli nabamahhashi bakhe!

Kodwa uJehova wayenomusa kubo, wayenesihe kubo , wabanakekela ngenxa yesivumelwano sakhe no -Abrahama no -Isaka noJakobe , akathandanga ukubachitha, futhi wayengakabalahli ebusweni bakhe.

Ngalokho uJehova wathukuthelela u -Israyeli, wabasusa ebusweni bakhe ; akusalanga muntu, isizwe sakwaJuda kuphela.

UJehova wala yonke inzalo ka -Israyeli, wayihlupha, wayinikela esandleni sabaphangi, waze wayilahla ebusweni bakhe.

uJehova waze wamsusa u -Israyeli ebusweni bakhe njengokukhuluma kwakhe ngesandla sazo zonke izinceku zakhe abaprofethi . Wayesethunjwa u- Israyeli ezweni lakubo, wayiswa e-Asiriya kuze kube namuhla. AmaSamariya nokukhonza kwawo izithombe

Wayesephendulela ubuso bakhe odongeni, wakhuleka kuJehova, wathi:

Inkosi yema ngasensikeni , yenza isivumelwano phambi kukaJehova ukumlandela uJehova nokugcina imiyalo yakhe , nobufakazi bakhe, nezimiso zakhe ngenhlizi yo yonke nangomphefumulo wonke ukuqinisa amazwi alesi sivumelwano alotshwe kule ncwadi; bonke abantu basivuma isivumelwano.

Impela kwaba khona lokho kwaJuda ngezwi likaJehova ukubasusa ebusweni bakhe ngenxa yezono zikaManase njengakho konke akwenzileyo,

Ngokuba kwenzeka lokho eJerusalema nakwaJuda ngenxa yentukuthelo kaJehova, waze wabalahla ebusweni bakhe ; uSedekiya wayihlubuka inkosi yaseBabele.

Amadodana kaRubeni , izibulo lika -Israyeli ngokuba wayeyizibulo ; kepha njengokuba wangcolisa umbhede kayise , ubuzibulo bakhe banikwa amadodana kaJosefa indodana ka -Israyeli, futhi akabhalwa ngezizukulwane njengezibulo.

Yilaba abayizinhloko zamaqhawe uDavide ayenazo , zibambelela kuye ngamandla ebukhosini bakhe kanye naye wonke u-Israyeli ukumbeka inkosi njengezwi likaJehova ngo-Israyeli.

Bheka, wayetusekile kunabangamashumi amathathu, kepha akafinyelelanga kwabathathu bokuqala; uDavide wambeka phezu kwabalindi bakhe.

Nampa abafika kuDavide eSikilagi esagogobele ebusweni bukaSawule indodana kaKishi; babe phakathi kwamaqhawe, abasizi bakhe empini.

UDavide waqonda ukuthi uJehova wayemmisile impela ukuba abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba umbuso wakhe waphakanyiselwa phezulu ngenxa yabantu bakhe u-Israyeli.

Funani uJehova namandla akhe, nifunisise ubuso bakhe njalo.

nina nzalo ka-Israyeli, inceku yakhe , nina bantwana bakaJakobe , abakhethiweyo bakhe.

Udumo nobukhosi kusebusweni bakhe; amandla nokuthokoza kusendaweni yakhe.

Thuthumelani ebusweni bakhe , mhlaba wonke ; izwe lihlala liqinile , alinakushukunyiswa.

Yisiphi isizwe emhlabeni esinjengabantu bakho u -Israyeli, uNkulunkulu aya ukuzihlengela bona babe ngabantu bakhe , ukukwenzela igama ngezinto ezinkulu nezesabekayo ngokuxosha abezizwe ebusweni babantu bakho owabahlenga eGibithe, na?

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

UJowabe wathi: UJehova makenezele kubantu bakhe, kuphindwe kayikhulu phezu kwalokhu abayikho; kepha, nkosi yami, nkosi, abasizo izinceku zenkosi yami bonke na ? Inkosi yami ifunelani le nto na ? Iyakuba yicala ngani ku - Israyeli na?

UDavide esefika ku -Orinani, u-Orinani wabuka , wambona uDavide , waphuma esibuyeni, wakhothamela uDavide, ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi.

UDavide wayala ukuba babuthe bonke abafokazi ababe sezweni lakwa - Israyeli, wabeka abakhi ukubaza amatshe axhoziweyo ukuba bakhe indlu kaNkulunkulu.

UJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akanani na ? Akaniphanga ukuphumula nxazonke na ? Ngokuba unikele esandleni sami aba khileyo ezweni ; izwe linyatheliwe phambi kukaJehova naphambi kwabantu bakhe.

Kwatshelwa indlu kaDavide ukuthi : I-Aramu limise kwa -Efrayimi. Yayisiqhaqhazela inhliziyo yakhe nenhliziyo yabantu bakhe njengemithi yasehlathini ithuthumela ngomoya.

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

USolomoni indodana kaDavide waqiniswa ebukhosini bakhe ; uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe wayenaye, wamkhulisa kakhulu.

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

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

kanye neBalati nayo yonke imizi yokubekelela uSolomoni ayenayo, nayo yonke imizi yezinqola zakhe , nemizi yabamahhashi bakhe , nakho konke uSolomoni ayefisa uku kwakha eJerusalema, naseLebanoni, nasezweni lonke lokubusa kwakhe.

Kepha kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli uSolomoni akakhiphanga izigqila zomsebenzi wakhe , ngokuba babengamadoda empi , nabakhulu bezinduna zakhe, nezinduna zezinqola zakhe, nabamahhashi bakhe.

Inkosi uSolomoni yanika inkosikazi yaseSheba konke ekufunayo nekucelayo ngaphandle kwalokho ebikulethele inkosi . Yayisibuya, yaya ezweni layo , yona nezinceku zayo. Ukuceba kukaSolomoni nobukhosi bakhe; ukuhlakanipha kwakhe nobukhulu bakhe

URehobowamu wamthanda uMahakha indodakazi ka-Abisalomu phezu kwabo bonke abafazi bakhe nezancinza zakhe , ngokuba wathatha abafazi abayishumi nesishiyagalombili nez ancinza ezingamashumi ayisithupha , wazala amadodana angamashumi amabili nesishiyagalombili namadodakazi angamashumi ayisithupha.

U-Abiya nabantu bakhe babaceka ngokuceka okukhulu ; kwawa amadoda akhethiweyo akwa-Israyeli abuleweyo ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisihlanu.

Wathi: Ngiyakuphuma ngibe ngumoya wamanga emilonyeni yabaprofethi bakhe bonke . Wathi: U yakumyenga, futhi uyakumahlula ; hamba, wenze njalo.

UJehoshafati wayeseshaywa luvalo , wabhekisa ubuso bakhe ukumfuna uJehova, wamemezela ukuzila ukudla kulo lonke lwakwaJuda.

Wayesekhothama uJehoshafati, ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi; wonke uJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema bawa phambi kukaJehova bekhuleka kuJehova.

Bavuka ekuseni, baphuma baya ehlane laseThekhowa; ekuphumeni kwabo uJehoshafati wema , wathi: Ngizweni, Juda nani bakhileyo eJerusalema ! Kholwani nguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu , niyakuqiniswa; kholwani ngabaprofethi bakhe, niyakuphumelela.

Lapho uJehoshafati nabantu bakhe befika ukuqoqa impango kubo , bafumanisa phakathi kwabo ubuningi bengcebo nezidumbu nezinto ezinxanelekayo, bazihlubulela zona , kwaze kwangabakho ongazithwala ; kwaba yizinsuku ezintathu beqoqa impango, ngokuba yayiningi kangaka.

Kepha uJehova akathandanga ukuchitha indlu kaDavide ngenxa yesivumelwano asenzayo noDavide, njengokusho kwakhe ukuthi uyakumnika yena nabantwana bakhe isibani izinsuku zonke.

Kwathi ekuhambeni kwezinsuku ng esikhathi sokufika ekugcineni kweminyaka emibili , izibilini zakhe zaphuma kuye ngesifo sakhe , wafa ngobuhlungu obukhulu. Abantu bakhe abamshiselanga lutho njengokushiselwa kwawoyise.

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.

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

Kwathi u -Amasiya esebuyile ekubulaleni abakwa -Edomi, waletha onkulunkulu babantwana baseSeyiri, wabamisa babe ngonkulunkulu bakhe , wakhothama phambi kwabo, wabashisela impepho.

Washisa impepho esigodini sendodana kaHinomu , washisa abantwana bakhe emlilweni njengezinengiso zabezizwe uJehova abaxosha phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Wawamisa amaLevi endlini kaJehova ephethe amasimbali , nezingubhu, namahabu njengesiyalezo sika Davide nesikaGadi umboni wenkosi nesikaNathani ump rofethi, ngokuba isiyalezo sasingesikaJehova ngesandla sabaprofethi bakhe.

Lapho uHezekiya nezikhulu beza ukuzibona izinqwaba, bambonga uJehova nabantu bakhe u-Israyeli.

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.

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.

Wadabulisa abantwana bakhe emlilweni esigodini sendodana kaHinomu , wahlola imihlola, wenza imilingo, wenza amalumbo, wamisa abanamadlozi, nabathakathi, wenza okubi okuningi emehlweni kaJehova, waze wamcunula.

UJehova wakhuluma kuManase nakubantu bakhe, kepha kabalalelanga.

Inkosi yema endaweni yayo , yenza isivumelwano phambi kukaJehova ukumlandela uJehova nokugcina imiyalo yakhe , nobufakazi bakhe, nezimiso zakhe ngayo yonke inhl iziyo yayo nangawo wonke umphefumulo wayo ukuba iwenze amazwi esivumelwano ayelotshwe kule ncwadi.

Washo kumaLevi afundisa wonke u-Israyeli, ayengcwele kuJehova, wathi: Bekani umphongolo ongcwele endlini ayakhayo uSolomoni indodana kaDavide, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli; akusayikubakho mthwalo emahlombe enu ; khonzani manje uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu nabantu bakhe u-Israyeli.

Ukuzidla kuka -Israyeli kuyafakaza ebusweni bakhe , nokho ababuyelanga kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, abamfunanga kukho konke lokhu.

Ngubani onjengohlakaniphileyo na? Ngubani owazi ukuchasisela indaba na? Ukuhlakanipha komuntu kuyakhanyisa ubuso bakhe , nobulukhuni bobuso bakhe buyaguqulwa.

ngangokuba i soni, noma senza okubi kayikhulu , kuyandiswa nokho izinsuku zaso. Kanti nokho ngiyazi ukuthi kuzakuba kuhle kwabamesabayo uNkulunkulu, lokhu besaba phambi kobuso bakhe;

Imixhantela yakhe iyakuxhantela , ubuhle bakhe bube njengomnqumo , iphunga lakhe libe njengeLebanoni.

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

kepha baziklolodela izithunywa zikaNkulunkulu, bawadelela amazwi akhe, babaphatha kabi abaprofethi bakhe , yaze yavuka intukuthelo kaJehova ngabantu bakhe, kwaze kwangabakho ukwelashwa.

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.

Bonke ababalekayo bakhe kuwo onke amaviyo akhe bayakuwa ngenkemba, nabaseleyo bayakuhlakazelwa kuyo imimoya yonke, nazi ukuthi mina Jehova ngikukhulumile.

Lapho omubi ephenduka ebubini bakhe abe nzileyo, enze ukwahlulela nokulunga, uyakusindisa umphefumulo wakhe.

Abazali bakhe basho lokho , ngokuba besaba abaJuda . Ngokuba abaJuda base bevumelene ngokuthi, uma ekhona ovuma ukuba unguKristu, kakhishwe esinagogeni.

Ngakho-ke abazali bakhe bathi: Usekhulile, mbuzeni yena.

Wabaphendula wathi : Kade nginitshela , kepha anizwanga ; nifunelani ukuzwa futhi na? Niyafuna yini nani ukuba ngabafundi bakhe na?

Emva kwalokho wathi kubafundi bakhe: Asibuye, siye eJudiya.

Abafundi bakhe base bethi kuye: Nkosi, uma elele, uyakusinda.

Waphuma ofileyo eboshwe izinyawo nezandla ngezindwangu, ubuso bakhe bumboziwe ngeduku. UJesu wathi kubo: Mthukululeni, nimyeke ahambe. Umphakathi unquma ukumbulala uJesu

Ngakho uJesu kabuyange esahamba obala phakathi kwabaJuda , kepha wamuka lapho , waya ezweni eliseduze nehlane emzini othiwa i -Efrayimi; wahlala khona nabafundi bakhe.

Kepha uJuda Iskariyothe , omunye wabafundi bakhe obezakumkhaphela , wathi:

Lokho abafundi bakhe abakuqondanga ekuqaleni; kodwa esekhazimulisiwe uJesu, base bekhumbula ukuthi kulotshiwe lokho ngaye nokuthi babekwenzile lokho kuye.

Kwakuhlezi ekudleni omunye wabafundi bakhe uJesu amthandayo, encike esifubeni sikaJesu.

Akakho onothando olukhulu kunalolo lokuba adele ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yabahlobo bakhe.

Ngakho abanye kubo abafundi bakhe base bekhuluma bodwa, bethi: Kuyini lokho akushoyo kithi ukuthi: Kusezakuba yisikhashana ningabe nisangibona , kubuye kube yisikhashana ningibone, nokuthi: Ngokuba ngiya kuBaba, na?

Abafundi bakhe bathi kuye : Bheka, manje usukhuluma ngokusobala , awusakhulumi mfanekiso.

UJesu esekhulume lawo mazwi waphuma kanye nabafundi bakhe , waya phesheya komfudlana iKedroni, lapho kwakukhona insimu angena kuyo yena nabafundi bakhe.

NoJuda owamkhaphelayo wayeyazi leyo ndawo , ngokuba uJesu wayevama ukuhlangana khona nabafundi bakhe.

Kepha umpristi omkhulu wabuza uJesu ngabafundi bakhe nangemfundiso yakhe.

Kepha uSimoni Petru wayemi otha . Bathi-ke kuye: Imbala nawe awusiye owabafundi bakhe na? Waphika yena, wathi: Angisiye.

Obonileyo ufakazile , ubufakazi bakhe buqinisile ; yena-ke uyazi ukuthi ukhuluma iqiniso, ukuze nikholwe nani.

Emva kwezinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili abafundi bakhe babesendlini futhi, uTomase enabo . UJesu wafika iminyango ivaliwe , wema phakathi kwabo , wathi: Ukuthula makube kinina.

Izibonakaliso ezinye eziningi uJesu wazenza phambi kwabafundi bakhe , ezingalotshiwe kule ncwadi.

kwakukhona ndawonye oSimoni Petru , noTomase othiwa uDidimu , noNathanayeli waseKhana laseGalile , nabakaZebedewu, nabanye ababili kubafundi bakhe.

Nguye lo mfundi ofakaza ngalezi zinto nokulobile lokhu ; siyazi ukuthi ubufakazi bakhe buqinisile.

okumelwe ukuba izulu limamukele , kuze kube yizikhathi zokubuyiselwa kwakho konke uNkulunkulu akhuluma ngakho ngomlomo wabaprofethi bakhe abangcwele, kusukela kwaphakade.

UNkulunkulu eseyivusile iNceku yakhe wayithumela kini kuqala ukunibusisa ngokuniguqula, kube yilowo nalowo kini ebubini bakhe.

Kwathi bemgqolozela bonke ababehlezi emphakathini, babona ubuso bakhe kungathi ubuso bengelosi.

Ngumuphi kubaprofethi oyihlo abangamzingelanga na ? Bababulala ababememezela ngaphambili ukuza koLungileyo , eseningabakhapheli nababulali bakhe,

Ngangomuso bangena eKesar iya. UKorneliyu wayebalindele esebizile izihlobo nabangane bakhe abakhulu.

Wabonwa izinsuku eziningi yibo ababekhuphukele naye eJerusalema bevela eGalile, asebengofakazi bakhe kubantu manje.

Ngakho akusikho lokhu kuphela ukuba umsebenzi wethu usengozini yokudelelwa, kodwa nethempeli lonkulunkulukazi omkhulu uDiyana liyakuthiwa aliy into yalutho , nobukhulukazi bakhe sebuzakuphela , yena elimkhonzayo lonke i-Asiya nezwe lonke.

Nabanye bababusi base -Asiya, bengabahlobo bakhe , bathumela kuye , bamncenga ukuba angaze angena esigcawini sokubukela.

belusizi kakhulu ngezwi alishilo lokuthi abasayikubona ubuso bakhe . Base bemphelekezela, baya emkhunjini.

Ngangomuso safika eSidoni ; uJuliyu wamphatha kahle uPawulu , wamvumela ukuba aye kubahlobo bakhe, ahlunyelelwe.

alethembisa ngaphambili ngabaprofethi bakhe emibhalweni engcwele

Ngokuba okungabonwayo kwakhe , kuthi amandla akhe aphakade nobuNkulunkulu bakhe kubonakala kwasekudalweni kwezwe , ngokuba kuqondakala ngezenzo zakhe, ukuze bangabi nakuzilandulela,

Ngisho lokhu ukuba nibe namahloni. Kunjalo kanti : akukho namunye phakathi kwenu ohlakaniphileyo onganquma phakathi kwabaz alwane bakhe na?

Kepha uma inkonzo yokufa , enamagama aqoshiwe ematsheni , yafika inenkazimulo, ngangokuba abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babengenakubuka ubuso bukaMose ngenxa yenkazimulo yobuso bakhe eyayingephelayo,

asenzi njengoMose owamboza ubuso bakhe ngendwangu, ukuze abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bangakubuki ukugcina kwalokho obekuzakuphela.

ngokuba niyawazi umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu ukuthi , nakuba ecebile, waba mpofu ngenxa yenu, ukuze ngobumpofu bakhe nicebe nina.

ukuze iqi nise izinhliziyo zenu , zingabi nakusoleka ebungcweleni phambi kukaNkulunkulu noBaba wethu ekufikeni kweNkosi yethu uJesu kanye nabangcwele bakhe bonke.

nxa efika ukuba akhazimuliswe kubo abangcwele bakhe , abe ngomangalisayo kubo bonke abakholwa ngalowo muhla, ngokuba nakholwa ngukufakaza kwethu.

ophatha kahle indlu yakhe , abantwana bakhe bemthobela ngenhlonipho yonke --

Ngokukholwa uMose esezelwe wafihlwa ngabazali bakhe izinyanga ezintathu, ngokuba bembona engumntwana omuhle ; abawesabanga umyalo wenkosi.

Ngokuba bona kambe basilaya izinsukwana njengokubona kwabo , kepha yena kube yinsizakalo, size sithole ukuhlanganyela ubungcwele bakhe.

kungabikho oyisifebe noma odumazayo njengo -Esawu owathengisa ubuzibulo bakhe ngesidlo sinye nje.

Ngokuba uma umuntu engolizwayo izwi engesiye olenzayo , lowo ufana nomuntu obuka ubuso bakhe bemvelo esibukweni;

njengalokho uSara wamlalela u -Abrahama embiza ngokuthi inkosi , eningabantwana bakhe , uma nenza okuhle , ningesatshiswa nokukodwa okwesabisayo.

Njengokuba amandla akhe obuNkulunkulu esinikile konke okuqondene nokuphila nokumesaba uNkulunkulu ngokumazi yena owasibiza ngenkazimulo nobuhle bakhe,

Ngokuba sasingalandeli izinganekwane zobu qili, lapho sanazisa amandla nokufika kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu , kodwa sasingababonayo amandla obukhosi bakhe.

ngiyakubulala abantwana bakhe ngokufa ; amabandla onke ayakwazi ukuthi nginguye ophenya izinso nezinhliziyo , futhi ngiyakumnika yilowo nalowo wenu ngokwemisebenzi yakhe.

Nowesifazane wayembethe okububende nokubomvu , evunule ngegolide nangamatshe anenani nangamaparele , ephethe isitsha segolide ngesandla sakhe, sigcwele amanyala nokungcolileyo kobufebe bakhe,
