Ngokuba isizwe nombuso ongakukhonzi uyakuphela ; yebo, lezo zizwe ziyakuqedwa impela.

Ngiyakukwenza isizwe esikhulu , ngikubusise, ngenze igama lakho libe likhulu, wena ube yisibusiso.

Ngiyakwandisa kakhulu inzalo yakho , ngikwenze isizwe, kuvele namakhosi kuwe.

Ngo-Ishmayeli lo ngikuzwile; bheka, ngiyakumbusisa, ngimuphe inzalo , ngimandise kakhulu impela , azale izikhulu eziyishumi nambili , ngimenze isizwe esikhulu.

Nayo indodana yesigqilakazi ngiyakuyenza isizwe , ngokuba iyinzalo yakho.

Vuka uphakamise umfana , umbambe ngesandla sakho , ngokuba ngiyakumenza isizwe esikhulu.

UJehova wathi kuye : Esiswini sakho kukhona izizwe ezimbili ; izinhlobo ezimbili zabantu ziyakwahlukana ezibilinini zakho ; esinye isizwe siyakwahlula esinye, omkhulu akhonze omncane.

UNkulunkulu wathi kuye: NginguNkulunkulu uSomandla ; mawuzale, wande; isizwe, yebo, ibandla lezizwe liyakuvela kuwe ; amakhosi ayakuphuma okhalweni lwakho;

Yathi inkosi yakhe isizwe amazwi omkayo ayewakhulume kuyo, ethi: Yenze njalo kimi inceku yakho, lwavutha ulaka lwayo.

Wayesethi: NginguNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu kayihlo ; ungesabi ukwehlela eGibithe, ngokuba ngiyakukwenza khona isizwe esikhulu.

Wathi: Ngizakuba nawe ngempela ; lokhu kuyakuba luphawu kuwe ukuthi ngikuthumile; nxa ukhiphile isizwe eGibithe , niyakumkhonza uNkulunkulu kule ntaba.

ngokuba ithanda isizwe sakithi; yiyo esakhele isinagoge.

Kepha uFaro akayikunilalela ; ngiyakubeka isandla sami phezu kweGibithe , ngikhiphe amabandla ami , isizwe sami , abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, ezweni laseGibithe ngezahlulelo ezinkulu.

Inkabi iyamazi umniniy o nembongolo umkhombe womnikaziyo ; u-Israyeli akazi, isizwe sami asiqondi.

Wayesethi: Bheka, ngiyenza isivumelwano; phambi kwabantu bonke bakho ngiyakuzenza izimangaliso ezingazange zenziwe emhlabeni wonke nakusiphi isizwe; bonke abantu okhona phakathi kwabo bayakuwubona umsebenzi kaJehova, ngokuba kuyesabeka lokhu engikwenza kuwe.

Uyakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe , anqume phakathi kwabantu abaningi ; bayakukhanda izinkemba zabo zibe ngamakhuba , nemikhonto yabo ibe ngocelemba; isizwe asiyikuphakamisela isizwe inkemba , zingabe zisafunda ukulwa.

ukuze izwe linganihlanzi nani, nxa nilingcolisa, njengalokho lahlanza isizwe esasikhona phambi kwenu.

Isizwe sakwaLevi kuphela awuyikusibala , ungabali umumo waso phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli,

Isizwe sakwaZebuloni: isikhulu sabantwana bakwaZebuloni siyakuba ngu - Eliyabe indodana kaHeloni;

Eceleni kwakhe kuyakuba khona isizwe sakwaManase; isikhulu sabantwana bakwaManase siyakuba nguGamaliyeli indodana kaPedasuri.

Sondeza isizwe sakwaLevi , usimise phambi kuka -Aroni, umpristi, ukuba simkhonze.

Ninganqumi isizwe semindeni yamaKohati kumaLevi,

Ngiyakubashaya ngesifo , ngibaphuce ifa , ngikwenze isizwe esikhulu nesinamandla kunabo.

Nabafowenu, isizwe sakwaLevi , isizwe sikayihlo , sondela nabo ukuba bahlanganiswe nawe , bakukhonze; kepha wena namadodana akho kanye nawe niyakuba ngaphambi kwetende lobufakazi.

ngokuba isizwe sabantwana bakwaRubeni njengezindlu z awoyise nesizwe sabantwana bakwaGadi njengezindlu zawoyise sezilitholile, nenxenye yesizwe sakwaManase isilitholile ifa layo;

UMose wabayala abantwana bakwa -Israyeli njengezwi likaJehova , wathi: Isizwe samadodana kaJosefa sikhulume kahle.

Bheka, kuvela abantu enyakatho , isizwe esikhulu namakhosi amaningi, kuvuswe ekugcineni komhlaba.

owazinikela ngenxa yethu , ukuze asihlenge ebubini bonke , asihlambulule isizwe esingesakhe, sishisekele imisebenzi emihle.

Ngokuba yisiphi isizwe esikhulu esinonkulunkulu oseduze naso njengoJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, enjalo nanini lapho simbiza, na?

Yisiphi isizwe esikhulu esinezimiso nezahlulelo ezilungile njengawo wonke lo mthetho engiwubeka phambi kwenu namuhla na?

UNkulunkulu wake walinga yini ukuhamba eyozithabathela isizwe phakathi kwesinye isizwe ngezilingo, nangezibonakaliso, nangezimangaliso, nangempi, nangesandla esinamandla , nangengalo eyeluliweyo , nangengebhe enkulu njengakho konke uJeho va uNkulunkulu wenu anenzela khona eGibithe phambi kwamehlo enu, na?

Ngaleso sikhathi uJehova wahlukanisa isizwe sakwaLevi ukuba sithwale umphongolo we sivumelwano sikaJehova , sime phambi kukaJehova ukumkhonza nokubusisa egameni lakhe, kuze kube namuhla.

Abapristi bamaLevi, yebo, sonke isizwe sakwaLevi asiyikuba nasabelo nafa kanye no-Israyeli; siyakudla iminikelo yomlilo kaJehova nefa lakhe.

UJehova uyakuyisa wena nenkosi oyibeke phezu kwakho kuso isizwe ongasazi, wena nawoyihlo , ukhonze lapho abanye onkulunkulu , imithi namatshe.

UJehova uyakukuthumela isizwe esivela kude ekugcineni komhlaba njengokundiza kokhozi, isizwe ongayikuqonda ulimi lwaso,

isizwe esinobuso obujamayo , esingayikunakekela ubuso bomdala , singabi namusa komusha.

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;

Bangivusele umhawu ngokungesiye uNkulunkulu , bangithukuthelisile ngamaze abo ; ngiyakubavusela umhawu ngabangesiso isizwe , ngibathukuthelise ngesizwe esiyisiwula.

Ubusisiwe wena Israyeli ; ngubani ofana nawe , isizwe esisindisiwe nguJehova oyisihlangu sosizo lwakho , oyinkemba yakho ephakanyisiweyo. Izitha zakho ziyakuzithobela wena, unyathele izindawo zabo eziphakemeyo.

Abapristi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova bema baqi na emhlabathini owomileyo nga phakathi neJordani , abantu bonke bawela emhlabathini owomileyo, saze sawela iJordani isizwe sonke saphelela.

Kwathi lapho isizwe sonke sesiwele iJordani saphelela , uJehova wakhuluma kuJoshuwa, wathi:

Ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahamba iminyaka engamashumi amane ehlane , saze saphela isizwe sonke , yiwo amadoda empi aphuma eGibithe, lokhu engalalelanga izwi likaJehova , afunga kuwo uJehova ukuthi akayikuwabonisa izwe uJehova alifungela oyise ethi uyakusinika lona , izwe elivame ubisi nezinyosi.

Kusasa niyakusondezwa ngezizwe zakini ; kuyakuthi isizwe asithathay o uJehova sisondele ngemindeni; umndeni awuthathayo uJehova uyakusondela ngezindlu; indlu ayithathayo uJehova iyakusondela ngabantu.

UJoshuwa wayesevuka ekuseni kakhulu , wasondeza u -Israyeli ngezizwe zakubo; isizwe sakwaJuda sathathwa.

Isizwe sakwaLevi kuphela akasinikanga fa ; iminikelo kaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli yomlilo iyifa lakhe njengokukhuluma kwakhe kuye. Amafa akwaRubeni nakwaGadi nawenxenye yakwaManase

UMose wanika isizwe sabantwana bakwaRubeni ngemindeni yabo.

UMose wanika isizwe sakwaGadi, abantwana bakwaGadi, ngemindeni yaso.

Kepha isizwe sakwaLevi uMose akasinikanga fa ; uJehova uNkulunkulu ka - Israyeli uyifa labo njengokukhuluma kwakhe kubo.

Inkatho yadla isizwe sabantwana bakwaBenjamini ngemindeni yabo ; umkhawulo wesabelo sabo waphuma phakathi kwabantwana bakwaJuda nabantwana bakwaJosefa.

Inkatho yesibili yadla uSimeyoni , isizwe sabantwana bakwaSimeyoni ngemindeni yabo; ifa labo laliphakathi kwefa labantwana bakwaJuda.

Inkatho yesihlanu yadla isizwe sabantwana bakwa-Asheri ngemindeni yabo.

Ngalezo zinsuku kwakungekho nkosi kwa -Israyeli; ngalezo zinsuku isizwe sakwaDani sazifunela ifa lokuhlala , ngokuba kuze kube ngalolo suku babengabelwanga ifa phakathi kwezizwe zakwa-Israyeli.

Abantwana bakwaDani bathuma abantu abayisihlanu bomn deni wabo , bephuma kuso sonke isizwe sabo , amaqhawe, beseSora nase -Eshitawoli, ukuba bahlole izwe , balicinge; bathi kubo: Hambani, nilicinge izwe, bafika ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi endlini kaMika, bahlala khona.

Bathi: Jehova Nkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, lokhu kwenzelweni kwa-Israyeli ukuba kusilale namuhla esinye isizwe sakwa-Israyeli na?

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bamhawukela uBenjamini umfowabo , bathi: Kunqunyiwe namuhla esinye isizwe kwa-Israyeli.

USamuweli wayesesondeza zonke izizwe zakwa-Israyeli, kwadliwa isizwe sakwaBenjamini.

Wayesesondeza isizwe sakwaBenjamini ngemindeni yabo , kwadliwa umndeni wakwaMatri ; kwadliwa uSawule indodana kaKishi ; kepha lapho bebemfuna, akafunyanwanga.

Ezindaweni zonke engihambahambe kuzo nakubo bonke abantwana bakwa - Israyeli ngake ngakhuluma yini izwi noma kusiphi isizwe sakwa -Israyeli engasiyaleza ukwalusa abantu bami u -Israyeli ukuthi: Aningakhelanga ngani indlu yemisedari na?

Yisiphi isizwe nesisodwa emhlabeni esinjengabantu bakho u -Israyeli, uNkulunkulu ayakuzihlengela bona ukuba babe ngabantu bakhe , azenzele igama, anenzele nina izinto ezinkulu, alenzele izwe lakini izinto ezesabekayo phambi kwabantu bakho owazihlengela bona eGibithe ezizweni nakubo onkulunkulu bazo, na?

Inceku yakho iphakathi kwabantu bakho obakhethileyo , isizwe esikhulu , esingenakubalwa, esingenakuthathwa umumo waso ngobuningi.

Nokho wonke umbuso angiyikuwuhlwitha , kepha ngiyakunika indodana yakho isizwe sibe sinye ngenxa kaDavide inceku yami nangenxa yeJerusalema engilikhethileyo. UNkulunkulu umvusela uSolomoni izitha

Indodana yakhe ngiyakuyinika isizwe sibe sinye , ukuze uDavide inceku yami abe nesibani izinsuku zonke phambi kwami eJerusalema , umuzi engiwukhethileyo ukuba ngibeke khona igama lami.

Kwathi wonke u -Israyeli esezwile ukuthi uJerobowamu ubuyile , bathuma bambizela emhlanganweni , bambeka inkosi phezu kuka -Israyeli wonke ; akubangakho muntu olandela indlu kaDavide, isizwe sakwaJuda kuphela.

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

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?

Ngalokho intukuthelo kaJehova iyavuth ela isizwe sakhe ; welulela isandla sakhe kuso , uyasishaya; izintaba ziyathuthumela , nezidumbu zabo ziyimfucumfucu phakathi ezitaladini; kukho konke lokhu intukuthelo yakhe ayibuyi, isandla sakhe siseluliwe.

Uyakuphakamisela isizwe esikude ibhandela , asihlabele ikhwelo ekugcineni komhlaba; bheka, uyeza masinyane ngejubane.

Isizwe saphahlazwa yisizwe nomuzi ngumuzi , ngokuba uNkulunkulu wabesabisa ngezinkathazo zonke.

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?

Ngokuba kwenyukele ezweni lam i isizwe esinamandla nesingenakubalwa ; amazinyo aso angamazinyo engonyama , namazinyo aso emihlathi angawengonyamakazi.

Kwakudelelekile emehlweni akhe ukubeka izandla kuMoridekayi yedwa , ngokuba zase zimtshelile abantu bakaMoridekayi; ngalokho uHamani wafuna ukubulala bonke abaJuda ababe sembusweni wonke ka-Ahashiveroshi, isizwe sikaMoridekayi.

UHamani wathi enkosini u -Ahashiveroshi: Kukhona isizwe esithile esihlakazekile, sisakazekile phakathi kwabantu bezifunda zonke zombuso wakho; nemithetho yaso yahlukene neyezizwe zonke; futhi asigcini imithetho yenkosi; ngalokho akufanele ukuba inkosi isiyeke.

ngokuba ngingakubuka kanjani okubi okuyakufica isizwe sakithi , noma ngingakubuka kanjani ukuchithwa kwezihlobo zami na?

Bayakuza bashumayele ukulunga kway o kuso isizwe esiyakuzalwa ngokuthi ikwenzile.

Sibusisiwe isizwe esiNkulunkulu waso nguJehova, isizwe asikhethileyo sibe yifa lakhe.

Mawuzwe-ke, ndodakazi, uqaphele, ubeke indlebe yakho, ukhohlwe isizwe sakini nendlu kayihlo,

Ubiza izulu ngaphezulu kanye nomhlaba ukuba ahlulele isizwe sakhe:

Isizwe sakho usibonisile izinto ezinzima; usiphuzisile iwayini, sabhuyazela.

Iyakwahlulela isizwe sakho ngeqiniso nezihlupheki zakho ngemfanelo.

Ngakho-ke isizwe sakhe sibuyela lapha ; amanzi amaningi bazimuncela wona.

Yalahla indlu kaJosefa, ayikhethanga isizwe sakwa-Efrayimi.

Kepha yakhetha isizwe sakwaJuda, intaba yaseSiyoni eyithandayo.

Sibusisiwe isizwe esikwazi ukuhlabelela ngenjabulo ; siyahamba, Jehova, ekukhanyeni kobuso bakho.

Isizwe sakho, Jehova, bayasiphohloza, nefa lakho balinyathela phansi.

Wanika izwe labo laba yifa, laba yifa lika-Israyeli, isizwe sakhe.

Akenzanga njalo kwesinye isizwe nesisodwa : izahlulelo zakhe asizazi . Haleluya!

Ukulunga kuyaphakamisa isizwe, kepha ukona kuyihlazo kubantu.

Uyakwandisa isizwe , ukhulise intokozo yaso ; bathokoza phambi kwakh o njengokuthokoza ekuvuneni , njengalokhu abantu bethokoza ekwabeleni kwabo impango.

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.

Vulani amasango ukuba isizwe esilungileyo esigcina iqiniso singene.

Wandisa isizwe , Jehova, wandisa isizwe , wadunyiswa, wavula yonke imikhawulo yezwe.

Ngafunwa ngabangangicelanga, ngafunyanwa ngabangangifunanga, ngathi: Ngibhekeni, ngibhekeni, kuso isizwe esingabizwanga ngegama lami.

Ngubani ozwile okunjalo na ? Ngubani obonile okunjengalokhu na ? Izwe lingazalwa ngosuku olulodwa na ? Isizwe singabelethwa kanyekanye na ? Ngokuba iSiyoni lithe lisenemihelo, lazala abantwana balo.

Isizwe sike senana ngawonkulunkul u abangesibo onkulunkulu na ? Kepha abantu bami benanile udumo lwabo ngokungenakusiza.

Bhekani, ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwen u isizwe esivela kud e nina ndlu ka - Israyeli, usho uJehova; yisizwe esinamandla, yisizwe esidala, yisizwe ongazi ulimi lwaso, nongezwa lokhu abakukhulumayo.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Bheka, kuvela abantu ezweni elisenyakatho ; isizwe esikhulu siyakuvuswa ekugcineni komhlaba.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Bheka, okubi kuyaphum a kwesinye isizwe kuye kwesinye, nesivunguvungu siyavuswa emikhawulweni yomhlaba.

Kuyakuthi isizwe nombuso okungayikumkhonza ye na, uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele , kungabeki intamo yakho phansi kwejoka lenkosi yaseBabele, leso sizwe ngisijezise , usho uJehova , ngenkemba, nangendlala, nangesifo, ngize ngisiqede ngesandla sakhe.

Kepha isizwe esiyakuyibeka intamo yaso phansi kwejoka lenkosi yaseBabele, siyikhonze, leso ngiyakusiphumuza ezweni laso , usho uJehova, sililime, sihlale kulo.

Sukani, nikhuphukele kuso isizwe esizinzileyo , esihlala ngokulondeka , usho uJehova, esingenazicabha nemigoqo, sakhe sodwa.

Ngokuba kukhuphukela kulo isizwe sivela enyakatho, esiyakwenza izwe lalo libe yincithakalo, kungabikho ohlala kulo; abantu nezilwane kuyakubaleka , kuhambe.

Amehlo ethu ayaphela ukubheka usizo lwethu oluyize ; ekulindeni kwethu silindela isizwe esingenakusindisa.

Angisayikukuzwisa ihlazo labezizwe , ungasathwali amahloni abantu , ungasakhubekisi isizwe sakini, isho iNkosi uJehova.

ngibenze isizwe sinye ezweni, ezintabeni zakwa-Israyeli, kube yinkosi inye kubo bonke , bangabe besaba yizizwe ezimbili , bangabe besahlukaniselwa imibuso emibili.

Umbuso nokubusa nobukhulu bemibuso phansi kwalo lonke izulu kuyakunikwa isizwe sabangcwele boPhezukonke; umbuso wakhe ungumbuso ongunaphakade; yonke imibuso iyakumkhonza, imlalele.

Ngiyakuthengisa ngamadodana enu nangamadodakazi enu esandleni sabantwana bakwaJuda, bona bathengise ngabo kumaSheba , isizwe esikude, ngokuba uJehova ukhulumile.

Base bethi kuye : Ake usitshele ukuthi kungenxa kabani lobu bubi buphezu kwethu. Umsebenzi wakho uyini ? Uvelaphi? Liphi izwe lakini , ungowasiphi isizwe na?

Uyakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe eziningi , anqume phakathi kwezi zwe ezinamandla ezikude ; ziyakukhanda iz inkemba zazo zibe ngamakhuba , imikhonto yazo ibe ngocelemba ; isizwe asiyikuphakamisela isizwe inkemba , zingabe zisafuna ukulwa.

Ngokuba bhekani , ngiyavusa amaKaledi , isizwe esibabayo nesiphulukundlelayo, esidabula ebubanzini bomhlab a ukuyokudla izindawo zokuhlala ezingeyizo ezaso.

Wo kwabakhileyo ngasogwini lolwandle , isizwe sama Khereti! Izwi likaJehova liphezu kwakho , Khanani, lizwe lamaFilisiti . Ngiyakukuchitha ukuze kungabikho ohlala khona.

Nawe Betlehema, lizwe lakwaJuda, kawusiye omncane nakanye kubabusi bakwaJuda, ngokuba kuyakuvela kuwe umbus i oyakwalusa isizwe sami u - Israyeli.

isizwe esasihlezi ebumnyameni sibonile ukukhanya okukhulu , nababehlezi ezweni nasethunzini lokufa kuphumele kubo ukukhanya.

Ngalokho ngithi kini : Niyakwamukwa umbuso kaNkulunkulu , uphiwe isizwe esiyakuveza izithelo zawo.

Ngokuba isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso, kube khona indlala nokuzamazama komhlaba izindawo ngezindawo.

Ngokuba isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe , nombuso uvukele umbuso ; kuyakuba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba izindawo ngezindawo , kube khona indlala ; lokhu kungukuqala kwemihelo.

Uyakuhamba ngaphambi kwayo emoyeni nasemandleni ka -Eliya ukuphendulela izinhliziyo zawoyise kubantwana nabangalaleliyo ekuqondeni kwabalungileyo, ukulungisela iNkosi isizwe esilungiselweyo.

Khona wathi kubo: Isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso;

Baqala ukumthwesa icala , bathi: Simfumene lo edukisa isizwe sakithi , enqaba ukuba kuthelwe imali kuKesari, ethi nguye onguKristu inkosi.

aniqondi futhi ukuthi kunilungele ukuba umuntu oyedwa afele abantu , isizwe sonke singabhubhi.

UPilatu waphendula wathi: Kanti ngingumJuda yini mina na? Isizwe sakini nabapristi abakhulu bakunikezele kimi; wenzeni na?

kwathi ngokwesibili uJosefa waziwa ngabafowabo ; kwabonakala kuFaro isizwe sakubo kaJosefa.

Yona yasiphatha ngobuqili isizwe sakithi, yabahlupha obaba ngokubalahlisa izingane zabo zingaphili.

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

Wayesethi: Niyazi ukuthi akuvunyelwe ukuba umuntu ongumJuda ahlangane, ahambelane nowesinye isizwe ; kepha uNkulunkulu ungitshengisile ukuba ngingasho nangoyedwa ukuthi unechilo nokuthi ungcolile.

engakafiki yena uJohane wayeseshumayele kuso sonke isizwe sakwa - Israyeli umbhapathizo wokuphenduka.

USimeyoni uselandile ngokuhlela kukaNkulunkulu ekuqaleni ukuba athathele igama lakhe isizwe kubo abezizwe.

ukuthi uKristu nga ehlupheka nokuthi engowokuqala ekuvukeni kwabafileyo uzakumemezela ukukhanya kuso isizwe nakwabezizwe.

kepha abaJuda bekuphikisa , ngacindezelwa ukuba ngilidlulisele kuKesari , kungesikho ukuthi ngisimangalela isizwe sakithi ngalutho.

Njengalokhu esho nakuHoseya ukuthi: Ngiyakubiza abangesiso isizwe sami ngokuthi isizwe sami, nongathandiwe ngokuthi uthandiwe;

Kepha ngithi : U-Israyeli wayengaqondi na ? Kuqala, uMose uthi : Mina ngiyakunivusela umhawu ngabangesiso isizwe , nginithukuthelise ngesizwe esingenangqondo.

Kodwa ngo -Israyeli uthi: Usuku lonke ngelulela izandla zam i kuso isizwe esingalaleliyo nesiphikayo.

Ngalokho ngithi : UNkulunkulu usilahlile isizwe sakhe na ? Qha nakanye , ngokuba nami ngingumIsrayeli , wenzalo ka -Abrahama, wesizwe sakwaBenjamini.

UNkulunkulu akasilahlanga isizwe sakhe ayesazi ngaphambili. Kumbe anazi yini ukuthi umbhalo uthini ngo -Eliya ukuba umangalela u -Israyeli kuNkulunkulu ngokuthi:

Uma-ke kwakukhona ukuphelela ngobupristi bukaLevi ngokuba isizwe samiselwa bona ngomthetho -- kwakusaswelekelani ukuba kuvele omunye umpristi ngokukaMelkisedeki engabizwa ngokokuma kuka-Aroni na?

Kepha lowo okushiwo lokho ngaye ungowesinye isizwe okungabanga bikho kuso umuntu owake wakhonza e-altare.

Ngokuba kusobala ukuthi iNkosi yethu ivele kuJuda , isizwe uMose angakhulumanga lutho ngaso ngobupristi.

kepha nina niluhlanga olukhethiweyo , ubupristi obobukhosi , isizwe esingcwele, abantu abazuziweyo , ukuze nishumayele ubukhosi balowo owanibiza niphume ebumnyameni , ningene ekukhanyeni kwakhe okumangalisayo;

ekade naningesiso isizwe , kepha manje niyisizwe sikaNkulunkulu , enaningahawukelwanga, kepha manje nihawukelwe.

Kepha ngiyathanda ukunikhumbuza, nokuba kade benikwazi konke , ukuthi iNkosi, isisindisile isizwe isikhipha ezweni laseGibithe , yabuye yabhubhisa labo abangakholwanga,
