UJakobe wavuka ekuseni , walithatha itshe abelibeke phansi kwekhanda lakhe, walimisa laba yinsika, wathela amafutha esihlokweni salo.

Wabheka, nanko umthombo endle , nemihlambi emithathu yezimvu ilele ngakuwo, ngokuba kulowo mthombo babephuzisa imihlambi ; itshe elalisemlonyeni womthombo lalilikhulu kakhulu.

Kwabuthelwa khona imihlam bi yonke , balisusa itshe emlonyeni womthombo, baphuzisa izimvu , balibuyisela itshe emlonyeni womthombo endaweni yalo.

Base bethi : Singekwenze lokho ingakabuthani imihlambi yonke , balisuse itshe emlonyeni womthombo; yikhona siyakuphuzisa izimvu. Ukubonana kukaJakobe noRaheli

Kwathi uJakobe ebona uRaheli indodakazi kaLabani uninalu me nezimvu zikaLabani uninalume , uJakobe wasondela , wasusa itshe emlonyeni womthombo, waziphuzisa izimvu zikaLabani uninalume.

UJakobe wayesethatha itshe, walimisa laba yinsika.

Bheka, ngiyakuma phambi kwakho edwaleni laseHorebe ; uzakushaya itshe, kuphume amanzi kulo , abantu baphuze . Wenze njalo uMose emehlweni amalunga akwa-Israyeli.

Kodwa izandla zikaMose zaba nzima ; bathatha itshe , walibeka phambi kwakhe, wahlala kulo ; o-Aroni noHure basekela izandla zakhe , omunye engalapha, omunye engalapha ; zase zihlala ziqinile izandla zakhe laze lashona ilanga.

amagama ayisithupha abo kwelinye itshe namag ama abayisithupha abaseleyo kwelinye itshe njengokuzalwa kwabo.

Ningenzi izithombe , ningamisi izithombe ezibaziweyo noma insika ; ningabeki itshe elinemifanekiso ezweni lakini ukukhothamela kulo ; ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

Akuyikubakho muntu oyakutha tha itshe lokugaya noma imbokodwe kube yisibambiso, ngokuba yena uthatha konke okuphilwa ngakho kube yisibambiso. Ukweba abantu; uchoko; ukutsheleka; nokunye

UJoshuwa wathi kuwo : Welani phambi komphongolo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu , niye phakathi kweJordani , netshathe, kube yilowo nalowo itshe ehlombe lakhe njengokomumo wezizwe zabantwana bakwa - Israyeli

UJoshuwa waloba lawo mazwi encwadini yomthetho kaNkulunkulu , wathatha itshe elikhulu , walimisa lapho phansi kwe -oki elingasendlini engcwele kaJehova.

Inqola yangena ensimini kaJoshuwa waseBeti Shemeshi, yema khona, lapho kwakukhona itshe elikhulu ; babanda inqola yaba yizinkuni , banikela ngezinkomo zaba ngumnikelo wokushiswa kuJehova.

USamuweli wathatha itshe , walimisa phakathi kweMispa neSheni , waqamba igama lalo ngokuthi i -Ebeni Ezeri, ethi: Kuze kube manje uJehova usisizile.

Base bemtshela uSawule, bethi: Bheka, abantu bayona kuJehova ngokudla okunegazi. Wathi: Nenze kabi; gingqelani kimi itshe elikhulu namuhla.

UDavide wafaka isandla sakhe esikhwameni sakhe , wakhipha khona itshe , waliphonsa, wamshaya umFilisti ebunzini , itshe lashona ebunzini , wawela phansi ngobuso.

Wathatha umqhele wenkosi yabo ekhanda layo ; isisindo sawo sasiyitalenta legolide, itshe eliyigugu likuwo; wabekwa ekhanda likaDavide ; wakhipha emzini impango eningi kakhulu.

Njengobopha itshe endwayimaneni, unjalo onika isiwula udumo.

Omba umgodi uyakuwela kuwo , nogingqa itshe , liyakubuyela phezu kwakhe.

Itshe liyasinda nesihlabathi sinzima , kepha ukukhathaza kwesiwula kuyasinda kunakho kokubili.

Bachitha imizi , naseziqeshini zonke ezinhle zomhlaba baphonsa , kwaba yilowo nalowo itshe lakhe, bazigcwalisa; bavimba yonke imithombo yamanzi, bawisa yonke imithi emihle , kwaze kwasala amatshe aseKhiri Haresheti kuphela; kepha abezindwayimana bazungeza, balishaya.

UDavide wathatha umqhele wenkosi yabo ekhanda layo, wafumana isisindo sawo ukuthi sasiyitalenta legolide, itshe eliyigugu likuwo; wabekwa ekhanda likaDavide; wakhipha emzini impango eningi kakhulu.

Izisekelo zawo zabekwa phezu kwani na ? Ngubani owabeka itshe lawo legumbi,

Itshe abalinqabayo abakhi selaba yinhloko yegumbi.

Ungubani wena ntaba enkulu ? Phambi kukaZerubabele uyakuba yithafa ; uyakukhipha itshe eliyinhloko ngokumemeza ukuthi: Umusa, mawube kulo!

Ngalokho ithi iNkosi uJehova : Bheka, ngibeka eSiyoni itshe lesisekelo , itshe elivivinyekileyo , itshe legumbi elinqabileyo lesisekelo esiyiso ; okholwayo kayikubaleka.

Izwi lami alinjengomlilo yini, usho uJehova, nanjengesando esaphula itshe na?

Abayikuthatha kuw e itshe legumbi netshe lesisekelo , ngokuba uyakuba yincithakalo kuze kube phakade, usho uJehova.

Lapho usuqedile ukuyifunda le ncwadi , uyakubopha itshe kuyo, uyiphonse e-Ewufrathe,

Wawusubona ukuthi kwaqheshulwa itshe k ungengazandla, lashaya isithombe ezinyaweni zaso eziyinsimbi nebumba, lazichoboza.

Kwase kuchotshozwa kanyekanye insimbi , nebumba, nethusi, nesiliva, negolide, kwaba njengamakhoba ezibuya zasehlobo , kwasuswa ngumoya , akutholwanga ndawo ; itshe elalisishay a isithombe laba yintaba enkulu , lawugcwalisa umhlaba wonke.

Njengalokho wabona itshe ukuthi laqheshulwa entabeni kungengazandla , nokuthi lachoboza insimbi , nethusi, nebumba, nesiliva, negolide, uNkulunkulu omkhulu uyazisil e inkosi okuyakuba khona emva kwalokhu ; iphupho liqinisile, nencazo yalo iyiqiniso.

Kwase kulethwa itshe , labekwa emlonyeni womphandu , inkosi yalinamathelisa ngendandatho yayo nangendandatho yizikhulu zayo , ukuze kungaguqulwa lutho maqondana noDaniyeli.

Wo koshoyo kumuthi ukuthi : Vuka! nakulo itshe eliyisimungulu: Phaphama! Lokhu kungafundisa na ? Bheka, kunamekwe ngegolide nangesiliva, kungekho neze umoya phakathi kwakho.

Ake nibeke ezinhliziyweni zenu manje , kusukela kulolu suku nangaphambili, ukuthi kungakabekwa itshe phezu kwetshe ethem pelini likaJehova,

Ngokuba bheka , itshe engilibeke phambi kukaJoshuwa kukhona amehlo ayisikhombisa etsheni lilodwa ngiyakuqopha ukuqoshwa kwalo , usho uJehova Sebawoti, ngidedisele kude ububi balelo zwe ngalusuku lunye.

Kuyena kuyakuphuma itshe legumbi , kuyena isikhonkwane , kuyena umnsalo wempi, kuyena bonke ababusi kanyekanye.

Noma ngumuphi umuntu kini ongathi , uma indodana yakhe icela isinkwa , ayinike itshe,

Kodwa okhubekisa abe munye kulaba abancinyane abakholwa yimi , kungcono k uye ukuba itshe lokusila ligaxwe entanyeni yakhe , azikiswe ekujuleni kolwandle.

UJesu wathi kubo : Anizange nifunde yini emibhalweni ukuthi : Itshe abalinqabayo abakh i lona laba yinhloko yegumbi ; lona lavela eNkosini ; liyisimangaliso emehlweni ethu, na?

Waphendula, wathi kubo : Anikuboni konke l okhu na ? Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Akuyikushiywa lapha itshe phezu kwetshe elingayikudilizelwa phansi.

wasibeka ethuneni lakhe elisha ayeliqo phe edwaleni , wagingqela itshe elikhulu emnyango wethuna, wahamba.

Bheka, kwaba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu , ngokuba ingelosi yeNkosi yehla ezulwini, yeza yagingqa itshe, yahlala phezu kwalo.

Nalowo okhubekisa abe munye kulaba abancinyane abakholwayo kungangcono kuye ukuba itshe lokusila ligaxwe entanyeni yakhe , aphonswe elwandle.

Aniwufundanga yini lo mbhalo othi : Itshe abalinqabayo abakhi lona laba yinhloko yegumbi;

UJesu wathi kuye: Uyabona lezi zakhiwo ezinkulu na? Akuyikushiywa itshe phezu kwetshe elingayikudilizelwa phansi.

Wathenga indwangu enhle , wamehlisa, wamsonga ngaleyo ndwangu, wambeka ethuneni elaliqoshwe edwaleni , wagingqela itshe emnyango wethuna.

Bakhuluma bodwa, bathi: Ngubani oyakusigingqela itshe, lisuke emnyango wethuna na?

Bathi ukubheka , babona ukuthi itshe seligingqiwe ; ngokuba lalilikhulu kakhulu.

Kungcono kuye ukuba itshe lokusila l igaxwe entanyeni yakhe , alahlwe elwandle, kunokuba akhubekise abe munye kulaba abancinyane.

zikuwise phansi , wena nabantwana abakuwe , zingashiyi itshe phezu kwetshe phakathi kwakho , ngokuba ungasazanga isikhathi sokuhanjelwa kwakho. Ukuhlanzwa kwethempeli (Math. 21:12; Mark. 11:15)

Kepha wababheka , wathi: Yini, pho, lokhu okulotshiweyo ukuthi : Itshe abalinqabayo abakhi lona laba yinhloko yegumbi ?

Kuyakufika izinsuku , lapho kungayikushiywa kulokhu enikubonayo itshe phezu kwetshe elingayikudilizelwa phansi.

Wamonyuka kubo kungathi ibanga lokuphonsa itshe , waguqa phansi , wakhuleka,

Bafumana itshe ligingqiwe ethuneni.

Ngakho uJesu , ebubula futhi phakathi kwakhe , wafika ethu neni. Lalingumhume, kwakukhona itshe phezu kwawo.

Wathi uJesu: Susani itshe. UMarta, udadewabo wofileyo, wathi kuye: Nkosi, usenuka; ngokuba sezizine.

Balisusa-ke itshe . Kepha uJesu waphakamisa amehlo , wathi: Baba, ngiyakubonga ngokuba ungizwile.

Kwathi ngosuku lokuqala lweviki uMariya Magdalena wafik a ethuneni ekuseni kusemnyama, wabona itshe lisusiwe ethuneni.

Ngakho lokhu siyinzalo kaNkulunkulu , akufanele ukuba sithi ubuNkulunkulu bufana negolide noma isiliva noma itshe , okuqoshwe ngekhono nangesu lomuntu.

njengalokho kulotshiwe ukuthi : Bheka, ngibeka eSiyoni itshe lokukhubekisa, nedwala lokuwisa, nokholwa yilo akayikujabha.

Ngokuba kukhona embhalweni ukuthi : Bhekani, ngibeka eSiyon i itshe legumbi elikhethekile, liyigugu; okholwa yilo akasoze ajabhiswa.

Ngakho kini enikholwayo liyigugu ; kepha kwabangakholwayo itshe abalinqabayo abakhi yilona elaba yinhloko yegumbi,

Onendlebe makezwe lokho akushoyo uMoya emabandleni . Onqobayo ngiyakumnika okwemana elifihliweyo , ngimuphe itshe elimhlophe , nasetsheni kulotshiwe iga ma elisha elingaziwa muntu , ngolamukelayo kuphela.

Ingelosi enamandla yafukula itshe linjengelokusila elikhulu , yaliphonsa elwandle, yathi: Ngokunjalo iBabiloni umuzi omkhulu liyakuphonswa phansi ngamandla, lingabe lisafunyanwa.
