Indoda yayisikhothama, yakhuleka kuJehova,

Ngalokho indoda iyakushiya uyise nonina, inamathele kumkayo; bayakuba nyamanye.

U-Adamu wamazi umkakhe u -Eva; wakhulelwa, wazala uKayini ; wathi: Ngitholile indoda kuJehova.

USarayi, umka-Abrama, wathatha uHagari waseGibithe , incekukazi yakhe , wamnika u -Abrama indoda yakhe abe ngumkakhe , u-Abrama esehlalile iminyaka eyishumi ezweni laseKhanani.

Indoda yayibhekisisa ithule ukuba yazi , uma uJehova ebephumelelisile indlela yayo noma qha.

Kwathi amakamela eseqedile ukuphuz a, indoda yathatha icici legolide , isisindo salo siyinxenye yeshekeli , namasongo amabili ezandla zayo , isisindo sawo singamashekeli ayishumi egolide, yathi:

URebeka wasuka namantombazana akhe ; bagibela amakamela , balandela indoda; inceku yamthatha uRebeka, yamuka.

Wayesethi uLabani: Kuhle ukuba ngimnike wena kunokuba ngimnike enye indoda; hlala kimi.

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

Nowesifazane elale naye indoda, imlalile yamthela ngamalotha, bayakugeza bobabili ngamanzi, babe ngabangcolile kuze kuhlwe.

Uma indoda ilala naye, ukungcola kwakhe kube kuyo, iyakuba ngengcolile izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ; nayo yonke imibhede alala kuyo iyakuba ngengcolile.

Uma indoda ilala nowesilisa njenganowesifazane , bobabili benzile isinengiso; bobulawa nokubulawa, igazi labo libe phezu kwabo.

Kanye nani kuzakuba khona indoda ibe nye kuleso naleso sizwe , yileyo naleyo ibe yinhloko yendlu kayise.

alale nenye indoda kusithekile emehlweni endoda yakhe , kufihlwe, angcoliswe, kungekho fakazi nokho ngaye, futhi engabanjwanga,

indoda iyakuletha umkayo kumpristi , imlethele umnikelo wakhe , ube ngokweshumi kwe-efa lempuphu yebhali , angatheli mafutha kuyo, angabeki nanhlaka kuyo , ngokuba kungumnikelo w empuphu wesikhwele , umnikelo wempuphu wesikhumbuzo sokukhumbuza ngobubi.

kepha uma udukile usephansi kwendoda yakho , futhi ungcolisiwe, kulale nawe enye indoda ngaphandle kwendoda yakho,

noma lapho indoda ifikelwa ngumoya wesik hwele, ibe nesikhwele ngomkayo; khona iyakumbeka owesifazane phambi kukaJehova , umpristi agcine wonke lo mthetho kuye.

Indoda iyakukhululeka ebubini , kepha owesifazane uyakubuthwala ububi bakhe.

Ngalolo suku abesifazane abayisikhombisa bayakubamba indoda inye, bathi: Siyakudla isinkwa sethu , sembathe izingubo zethu . Masibizwe kuphela ngegama lakho, ususe ihlazo lethu. Inkazimulo yaseSiyoni

wamlandela umuntu wakwa -Israyeli, wangena etendeni , wabagwaza bobabili, indoda yakwa-Israyeli nowesifazane esiswini sakhe . Sanqamuka-ke kanjalo isifo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

indoda yakhe bese ikuzwa , ingasho lutho kuye ngosuku ekuzwa ngalo , izithembiso zakhe ziyakuma, nezibopho zakhe abophe ngazo umphefumulo wakhe ziyakuma;

kepha uma indoda yakhe imalela ngosuku ekuzwa ngalo , iyakwenza ize isithembiso sakhe esiphezu kwak he nokuphahlukiwe ngumlomo wakhe abophe ngakho umphefumulo wakhe, uJehova amthethelele.

indoda yakhe bese ikuzwa , ingasho lutho kuye , ingamalelanga, zonke izithembiso zakhe ziyakuma , nazo zonke izibopho abophe ngazo umphefumulo wakhe ziyakuma;

kepha uma indoda yakhe izenza ize ngosuku ezizwa ngalo , konke okuphuma emlonyeni wakhe mayelana nezithembiso zakhe namayelana nesibopho somphefu mulo wakhe akuyikuma ; indoda yakhe ikwenzile ize ; uJehova uyakumthethelela.

Zonke izithembiso nazo zonke izifungo ezibophayo zokuthobisa umphefumulo, indoda yakhe ingaziqinisa, noma indoda yakhe izenze ize.

Kepha uma indoda yakhe ithula nokuthula kuye izinsuku ngezinsuku , iyaqinisa zonke izithembiso zakhe nazo zonke izibopho zakhe eziphezu kwakhe; iziqinisile, ngokuba ithulile kuye ngosuku eyazizwa ngalo;

Ngalokho bulalani manje bonke abesilisa phakathi kwabantwana , nibulale nabo bonke abesifazane abayazi indoda ngokulala nayo.

Uma indoda ifunyanwa ilele nowesifazane ogane enye indoda , bayakufa bobabili, indoda ebilele nowesifazane nowesifazane uqobo ; kanjalo uyakukhipha ububi kwa-Israyeli.

Kepha uma indoda ifumana endle intombi eyingoduso , indoda iyiphoqe, ilale nayo, indoda ebilala nayo kuphela iyakufa,

Uma indoda ifumana intombi engesiyo ingoduso , iyibambe, ilale nayo , baficwe,

indoda ebilala nayo iyakunika uyise wentombi amashekeli angamashumi ayisihlanu esiliva, ibe ngumkayo, ngokuba iyonile; ingeyilahle zonke izinsuku zayo.

Uma indoda yesibili imala , imlobele incwadi yesahlukaniso , imnike yona esandleni sakhe, imkhiphe endlini yayo, noma le ndoda yesibili eyayimthathe abe ngumkayo ifa,

indoda yakhe yokuqala eyamxoshayo mayingabuyi imthathe abe ngumkayo emva kokuba esoniwe , ngokuba lokho kuyisinengiso phambi kukaJehova ; awuyikwenza ukuba izwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona libe yifa lakho lonakale.

Nxa amadoda amabili elwa , umfazi wenye abesesondela ukuyophula indoda yakhe esandleni saleyo eyishayayo , aselule isandla sakhe, ayibambe ngomphambili,

funa kube khona phakathi kwenu indoda , noma umfazi, noma umndeni, noma isizwe esinhliziyo yaso ifulathela namuhla uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu ukuyokhonza onkulunkulu balezo zizwe , kube phakathi kwenu impande ethela inhlungunyembe nomhlonyane;

Ngalokho zithatheleni manje amadoda ayishumi nambili ezizweni zakwa - Israyeli, indoda ibenye ngesizwe.

Zithatheleni amadoda ayishumi nambili, indoda ibenye ngesizwe,

UJoshuwa wayesebiza lawo madoda ayishumi nambili ayewakhethile kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, indoda inye ngesizwe.

Kwathi ngasekupheleni kwezinyanga ezimbili , yabuyela kuyise owenza kuyo njengokwesithembiso sakhe asethembisileyo; ayiyazanga indoda.

UNkulunkulu walalela izwi likaManowa ; ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yabuyela kowesifazane ehlezi endle; kepha uManowa indoda yakhe wayengenaye.

Owesifazane was hesha, wagijima, wayitshela indoda yakhe , wathi kuyo : Bheka, ubonakele kimi lowo muntu owafika kimi ngolunye usuku.

Bahlala phansi, badla, baphuza bobabili kanyekanye; uyise wentombi wathi kuyo indoda: Ake udele, ulale ubusuku, ithokoze inhliziyo yakho.

Intukuthelo kaSawule yayisimvuthela uJonathani , wathi kuye : Wena ndodana yowesifazane owonakeleyo nohlubukileyo , angazi yini ukuthi ukhethile indoda na kaJese kube yihlazo lakho nehlazo lobunqunu bukanyoko, na?

Igama lalowo muntu lalinguNabali ; igama lomkakhe lalingu -Abigayili; owesifazane wayehlakaniphile, ebukeka emuhle , kepha indoda yayilukhuni inobubi emisebenzini yayo; yayingekaKalebi.

Wathi kuzo izinsizwa : Hambani phambi kwami ; bhekani, ngiyanilandela. Kepha akayitshelanga indoda yakhe uNabali.

Indoda yakhe yahamba na ye, ikhala isahamba, yamlandela kwaze kwaba seBahurimi. U-Abineri wayesethi kuyo: Buya. Yabuya-ke.

Umka-Uriya esezwa ukuthi u -Uriya indoda yakhe ufile wayililela indoda yakhe.

Inkosi yathi kuye : Unani na ? Wathi: Maye, ngingumfelokazi! Indoda yami seyafa.

Bheka, umndeni wonke usuvukele incekukazi yakho ; bathi: S inike yena owashaya umfowabo ukuba simbulale ngenxa yomphefumulo womfowabo , sichithe indlalifa . Bayakucima kanjalo ilahle lami eliseleyo , bangabe besashiyela indoda yami igama nensali ebusweni bomhlaba.

Amazwi ka-Aguri, indodana kaJakhe waseMasa. Yathi indoda ku-Ithiyeli, ko- Ithiyeli no-Ukhali:

Kwakhala ku-Elisha owesifazane othile wabafazi bamadodana abaprofethi, wathi: Inceku yakho , indoda yami , ifile; wena uyazi ukuthi incek u yakho yayimesaba uJehova ; sekufike umtshelekisi ukuzithathela abafana bami ababili babe yizigqila.

Wabiza indoda yakhe , wathi: Ake ungithumele enye yezinceku nenye yezimbongolo ukuba ngigijimele kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu, bese ngibuya.

ake ugijime , umhlangabeze, uthi kuye : U sahlezi kahle na ? Indoda yakho isahlezi kahle na? Umntanakho usahlezi kahle na? Wathi: Sisahlezi kahle.

AmaLevi abalwa kusukela kwaneminyaka engamashumi amathathu kuya phezulu; umumo wawo ngezinhloko zawo , indoda ngendoda , wawuyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalombili.

Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku indoda yondle isithole nezimvu ezimbili,

Ngomnyaka wesikhombisa uJehoyada waziqinisa , wazithathela izinduna zamakhulu, u-Azariya indodana kaJerohamu , no-Ishmayeli indoda na kaJehohanani, no-Azariya indodana ka -Obede, noMahaseya indodana ka - Adaya, no-Elishafati indodana kaZikiri, zenza isivumelwano naye.

nokusafunwa ngumphefumulo wami , ngingakakufumani kodwa : indoda inye phakathi kwenkulungwane ngiyifumene , kepha owesifazane phakathi kwabo bonke labo angimfumananga.

kepha kwafunyanwa kuwo indoda empofu ehlakaniphileyo ; yawukhulula umuzi ngokuhlakanipha kwayo, kodwa nokho akakho okhumbula leyo ndoda empofu.

Indoda yakhe iyaziwa emasangweni, lapho ihlezi namalunga ezwe.

Wathuma indoda phambi kwabo: uJosefa wathengiswa abe yisigqila.

Ibusisiwe indoda emgodla wayo ugcwele bona ; abayikujabha lapho bekhuluma nezitha zabo esangweni.

Ngokuba bheka, kanjalo iyakubusiswa indoda emesabayo uJehova.

Ngokuba indoda yami ayikho ekhaya; ihambile uhambo olude;

Owesifazane okhutheleyo ungumqhele kuyo indoda yakhe , kepha ohlazisayo unjengokubola kwamathambo ayo.

usho kuye , uthi: U sho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Bheka, kukhona indoda egama layo linguHlumela; uyakumila endaweni yakhe, akhe ithempeli likaJehova.

Kuthiwa uma indoda ilahla umkayo , abesemuka abe ngowenye indoda , isayakubuyela kuye na ? Lelo zwe belingayikungcoliswa kakhulu na ? Kepha wena ofebile nezithandwa eziningi ubuyela kimi, usho uJehova.

Ngiyazi, Jehova, ukuthi indlela yomuntu ayikuye uqobo ; akukuyo indoda ukuba ihambe, iqondise izinyathelo zayo.

Koze k ube nini uhambahamb a wena ndodakazi ehlubukayo na ? Ngokuba uJehova udalile into entsha emhlabeni: owesifazane uyakuyihaqa indoda.

Inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli yayenyukile ekherubini eyayiphezu kwalo, yaya embundwini wendlu , wayibiza indoda eyembethe ilineni , eyayinophondo lukayinki womlobi ngasokhalweni lwayo.

Bheka, indoda eyembethe ilineni , inophondo lukayinki ngasokhalweni lwayo, yabuyisa izwi, yathi: Ngenzile njengokungiyala kwakho.

Wakhuluma kuyo indoda eyembethe ilineni , wathi: Ngena phakathi kwamasondo ayingilizayo phansi kwekherubi , ugcwalise izandla zakho zombili ngamalahle omlilo ophakathi kwamakherubi , uwahlakaze phezu komuzi. Yangena phambi kwamehlo ami.

Kwathi lapho eyala indoda eyembethe ilineni , ethi: Thatha umlilo phakathi kwamasondo ayingilizayo phakathi kwamakherubi , yangena, eceleni kwesondo.

Phikisanani nonyoko, niphikisane, ngokuba akasiye umkami, nami angisiyo indoda yakhe; makasuse ubufebe bakhe ebusweni bakhe, nokuphinga kwakhe phakathi kwamabele akhe,

Bazondelela amakhanda abampofu ukuba abe sothulini lomhlabathi , bachezukisa indlela yabathobileyo; indoda noyise baya entombininye , ukuze balihlambalaze igama lami elingcwele,

Bafisa amasimu , bawadluzule, nezindlu, bazisuse; bacindezela indoda nendlu yayo, umuntu nefa lakhe.

uJakobe wazala uJosefa , indoda kaMariya , azalwa nguye uJesu othiwa uKristu.

Kepha uJosefa indoda yakhe engumuntu olungileyo , engathandi ukumthela ihlazo, wayefuna ukumlahla ngasese.

Kwase kusondela kuye abaFarisi , bamlinga bathi : Kuvunyelwe yini ukuba indoda ilahle umkayo noma ngaliphi icala na?

Kwase kusondela kuye abaFarisi , bambuza ukuthi kuvunyelwe yini ukuba indoda ilahle umkayo, bemlinga.

Naye, uma elahla indoda yakhe, agane enye, uyaphinga. Ukubusiswa kwabantwana (Math. 19:13; Luk. 18:15)

entombini eyayimiselwe indoda ebizo layo nguJosefa wendlu kaDavide ; ibizo lentombi nguMariya.

UMariya wathi engelosini : Lokhu kuyakwenzeka kanjani , njengokuba ngingayazi indoda na?

Kwathi ekomunye wemizi , bheka, nanso indoda egcwele uchoko . Kuthe embona uJesu , wawa ngobuso , wamnxusa wathi : Nkosi, uma uthanda , ungangihlambulula.

Kepha waz azi izizindlo zabo wathi kuyo indoda esandla sishwabene : Sukuma, ume phakathi. Wasukuma-ke, wema.

Esephumele emhlabathini , kwamhlangabeza indoda ethile yomuzi eyayinamademoni; kwase kuyi sikhathi eside ingembathi ngubo , ingahlali endlini kodwa emathuneni.

Kepha indoda okuphume kuyo amademoni yamnxusa ukuba ibe naye ; kodwa wayimukisa, ethi:

Bheka, kwafika indoda , nguJayiru igama layo , ingumphathi wesinagoge, yaziphonsa phansi ngasezin yaweni zikaJesu , yamncenga ukuba angene endlini yayo.

Bheka, indoda yasesixu kwini yamemeza yathi : Mfundisi, ngiyakunxusa ukuba ubheke indodana yami, ngokuba yiyo yodwa kimi.

Bheka, kwakukhona indoda , igama layo linguZakewu , ingumthelisi omkhulu, icebile.

Bheka-ke, kwakukhona indoda , igama layo nguJosefa , eyilungu lomphakathi, indoda enhle nelungileyo --

Wathi kuye: Hamba ubize indoda yakho, uze lapha.

ngokuba usuke waba namadoda ayisihlanu ; le onayo kalokhu akusiyo indoda yakho. Lokhu ukusho ngeqiniso.

Madoda akwa-Israyeli, zwanini lawa mazwi: UJesu waseNazaretha, indoda efakazelwe nguNkulunkulu phambi kwenu ngemisebenzi yamandla nangezimangaliso nangezibonakaliso uNkulunkulu azenza ngaye phakathi kwenu, njengalokhu nazi nina uqobo lwenu,

Kwase kulethwa indoda ethile eyisishosha kwasesiswini sikanina , ababeyibeka imihla ngemihla ngasemnyango wet hempeli othiwa Omuhle ukuba icele ukwabelwa izipho kwabangenayo ethempelini.

Kepha indoda ethile , igama layo lingu -Ananiya, inoSafira umkayo , yathengisa ngendawo;

Kepha uPetru wathi kuye : Kungani ukuba nivume lene ngokulinga uMoya weNkosi na? Bheka, izinyawo zabambele indoda yakho zisemnyango , nawe bazakukukhiphela phandle.

Kepha kwakukhona indoda ethile , nguSimoni igama layo, eyayikade yenza imilingo kulowo muzi , isimangalisa isizwe saseSamariya , izishaya umuntu omkhulu;

Wayesesuka wahamba . Bheka, nansi indoda yase -Etiyopiya, umthenwa, isikhulu sikaKhandakhe inkosikazi yase-Etiyopiya, ebiphezu kwengcebo yayo yonke, ebifikile eJerusalema izakukhuleka;

ubonile indoda , igama layo lingu -Ananiya, ingena, ibeka izandla phezu kwakhe ukuba abone.

Kwakukhona eKesariya indoda ethile egama layo linguKorneliyu , eyinduna yekhulu yebutho elithiwa elase-Italiya;

Bathi: UKorneliyu induna yekhulu , indoda elungileyo nemesabayo uNkulunkulu, efakazelwa kahle esizweni sonke sabaJuda , uyaliwe yingelosi engcwele ukuba akubizele endlini yakhe, ezwe amazwi kuwe.

UKorneliyu wathi : Ngezinsuku ezine ezidlule ngaleli hora bengenza umkhuleko wehora lesishiyagalolunye endlini yami ; bheka, indoda eyembethe ingubo ekhazimulayo yema phambi kwami,

Sebedabule isiqhingi sonke , baze bafika ePhafu , bafumana indoda ethile eyisanusi nomprofethi wamanga, umJuda, ogama lakhe linguBarjesu,

EListra kwakuhlezi indoda ethile eyisilima ngezinyawo, eyisishosha selokhu yazalwa ngunina, engazange ihambe.

Kwabonakala kuPawulu umbono ebusuku ; indoda ethile yaseMakedoniya eyayimi imncenga yathi: Welela eMakedoniya, usisize.

UmJuda othile ogama lakhe lingu -Apholo, wase-Aleksandriya ngokuzalwa, indoda efundileyo nenamandla emibhalweni, wehlela e-Efesu.

U-Ananiya othile , indoda ekholwa ngokomthetho , owayefakazelwa yibo bonke abaJuda ababakhile khona,

Sebehlezi khona izinsuku eziningi, uFestu weneka phambi kwenkosi indaba kaPawulu, wathi: Kukhona indoda ethile eyashiywa nguFeliksi iboshiwe;

Ngokuba owesifazane oganileyo uboshelwe ngomthetho endodeni isekhona; kepha nxa indoda isifile, ukhululiwe emthethweni wendoda.

Ngalokho-ke la pho indoda isekhona , uyakuthiwa isiphingi, uma eba ngowenye indoda ; kepha nxa indoda isifile , ukhululekile emthethweni , angebe yisiphingi, uma eba ngowenye indoda.

Kepha ngenxa yobufebe akube yilowo nalowo abe nowakhe umfazi, nalowo wesifazane abe neyakhe indoda.

Indoda ayinike umfazi okumfaneleyo; nomfazi enze njalo endodeni.

Umfazi kanamandla phezu kowakhe umzimba , kodwa yindoda enawo ; kanjalo nayo indoda ayinamandla phezu kowayo umzimba , kodwa ngumfazi onawo.

nomfazi, uma enendoda engakholwayo , yona-ke ivu ma ukuhlala naye , angayishiyi indoda.

Ngokuba indoda engakholwayo ingcwelisiwe ngomfazi , nomfazi ongakholwayo ungcwelisiwe ngomzalwane . Uma kungenjalo , abantwana benu ngabe bangcolile; kepha kalokhu bangcwele.

Ngokuba wena mfazi , wazi ngani ukuthi ungeyisindise indoda yakho ? Nawe ndoda, wazi ngani ukuthi ungemsindise umkakho na?

wahlukene phakathi. Nongaganile oyintombi ukhathalela okweNkosi, ukuze abe ngcwele emzimbeni nasemoyeni ; kepha oganileyo ukhathalela okwezwe ukuba angayithokozisa kanjani indoda yakhe.

Umfazi uboshiwe ngesikhathi indoda yakhe isekhona ; kepha uma indoda isifile, ukhululekile, angendela nakubani ngokubona kwakhe , kuphela ukuba kube seNkosini.

Ngokuba nempela indoda ayifanele ukumboza ikhanda , lokhu ingumfanekiso nodumo lukaNkulunkulu ; kepha owesifazane uludumo lwendoda.

Ngokuba indoda ayivelanga kowesifazane , kodwa ngowesi fazane owavela endodeni.

Ngokuba indoda ayidalelwanga owesifazane, kodwa owesifazane wadalelwa indoda.

Imvelo uqobo lwayo ayinifundisi yini ukuthi uma indoda inezinwele ezinde, kuyihlazo kuyo,

ngokuba indoda iyinhloko yomfazi , njengokuba noKristu uyinhloko yebandla, yena engumsindisi womzimba.

Nani-ke, yilowo nalowo makathande umkakhe njengokuba ezithanda yena , kepha umfazi makahloniphe indoda yakhe.

Ngakho umbonisi umelwe abe ngongasolekiyo , indoda emfazi munye , abe ngozikhuzayo, oqondileyo, oziphatha ngokufaneleyo , ongenisa izihambi , onesu lokufundisa,

Ungayikhaci indoda endala , kodwa yiyale njengoyihlo , namadoda amasha njengabafowenu,

uma kukhona ongasolekiyo , indoda emfazi munye , enabantwana abakholwayo abangenakusolwa ngokushinga nabangalaleliyo.
