UBileyamu waphakamisa amehlo akhe , wabona u -Israyeli ehlezi ngokwezizwe zakhe; uMoya kaJehova wehlela phezu kwakhe.

U-Israyeli wazihlanganisa noBali Peyori . Intukuthelo kaJehova yayisimvuthela u-Israyeli.

UJehova wathi kuMose : Thabatha zonke izinhloko zabantu, uziphanyekele uJehova elangeni, ukuze intukuthelo evuthayo kaJehova ibuye ku-Israyeli.

Wayesenza ukuba umphongolo kaJehova uzunge ze umuzi , wawuhaqa kanye; base befika ekamu, balala ubusuku ekamu.

UJoshuwa wavuka ekuseni kakhulu , abapristi bathatha umphongolo kaJehova.

Abapristi abayisikhombisa , bethwele amacilongo ayisikhombisa ejubili phambi komphongolo kaJehova , bahamba njalo bewabetha amacilongo ; abahlomileyo bahamba phambi kwabo , nesigaba sasemuva sawulandela umphongolo kaJehova, bebetha amacilongo besahamba.

Kepha lonke isiliva , negolide, nezitsha zethusi nezensimbi kungcwele kuJehova; kuyakungena endlini yengcebo kaJehova.

Bawushisa umuzi ngomlilo , nakho konke okukuwo ; isiliva kuphela , negolide, nezitsha zethusi nezensimbi bakufaka e ndlini yengcebo endlini kaJehova.

Kepha abantwana bakwa -Israyeli beqa ngokuqalekisiweyo, lokhu u -Akani kaKarmi kaZabidi kaZera , owesizwe sakwaJuda , ethatha kukho okuqalekisiweyo; intukuthelo kaJehova yabavuthela abantwana ba kwa- Israyeli.

UJoshuwa waziklebhula izingubo zakhe , wawa n gobuso emhlabathini phambi komphongolo kaJehova kwaze kwahlwa , yena namalunga akwa - Israyeli; bathela uthuli emakhanda abo.

njengalokho uMose inceku kaJehova wayala abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, njengokulotshiweyo encwadini yomthetho kaMose , i-altare lamatshe angabaziwe, angaphakanyiselwanga muntu insimbi ; banikela phezu kwalo ngeminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova, banikela ngeminikelo yokuthula.

Bonke abakwa -Israyeli namalunga abo , nezinduna zabo , nabahluleli babo babemi ngalapha nangalapha komphongo lo phambi kwabapristi bamaLevi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova , abafokazi nabokuzalwa ekhaya, inxenye yabo ibhekene nentaba yaseGerizimu , inxenye yabo ibhekene nentaba yase-Ebali, njengalokho uMose inceku kaJehova ebeyalile , ukuba babusise abantu bakwa-Israyeli kuqala.

Amadoda ayesethatha emphakweni wabo engabuzanga umlomo kaJehova.

Yonke imizi yalawo makhosi nawo onke amakhosi ayo uJoshuwa wakuthatha, wakuchitha ngosiko lwenkemba , wakuqothula njengokuyala kukaMose inceku kaJehova.

UMose inceku kaJehova na bantwana bakwa -Israyeli babebabulele ; uMose inceku kaJehova wabanika lona abakwaRubeni , nabakwaGadi, nenxenye yesizwe sakwaManase, laba yifa labo.

Kanye naye abakwaRubeni nabakwaGadi balamukela ifa abanika lona uMose ngaphesheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga , njengalokho inceku kaJehova uMose yabanika:

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

Ngokuba amaLevi awanasabelo phakathi kwenu , lokhu ubupristi bukaJehova buyifa lawo ; oGadi noRubeni nenxenye yesizwe sakwaManase sebamukela ifa labo ngaphesheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga abanika lona uMose inceku kaJehova.

wathi kubo: Nigcinile konke uMose inceku kaJehova aniyala ngakho , nalalela izwi lami kukho konke enganiyala ngakho;

anishiyanga abafowenu lezi zinsuku eziningi kuze kube namuhla , kepha nigcinile imfanelo yomyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

Manje uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ubanikile abafowenu ukuphumula njengalokho ebekhuluma kubo ; ngalokho buyani , niye e matendeni enu ezweni lefa lenu aninika lona uMose inceku kaJehova ngaphesheya kweJordani.

Qaphelisisani kuphela ukwenza imiyalo nomthetho aniyala ngakho uMose inceku kaJehova ukuba nimthande uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu , nihambe kuzo zonke izindlela zakhe , nigcine imiyalo yakhe , ninamathele kuye , nimkhonze ngayo yonke inhliziyo yenu nangawo wonke umphefumulo wenu.

Isho kanje yonke inhlangano kaJehova , ithi: Isiphambeko sini enisenzile kuNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli ukuba nibuye namuhla ekumlande leni uJehova ngokuzakhela i-altare, nihlubuke namuhla uJehova.

Ububi basePeyori buncane yini kithi esingakazihlambululi kubo kuze kube namuhla, noma inhlangano kaJehova yehlelwa yisifo,

kepha libe ngufakazi phakathi kwethu nani naphakathi kwezizukulwane zethu emva kwethu , ukuze senze inkonzo kaJehova phambi kwakhe ngeminikelo yethu yokushiswa , nangemihlatshelo ye thu, nangeminikelo yethu yokuthula , ukuba abantwana benu bangasho kubantwana bethu ngesikhathi esizayo ukuthi: Aninasabelo kuJehova.

Uma neqa isivumelwano sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akuyala ngaso , niye nikhonze abanye onkulunkulu , nibakhothamele, intukuthelo kaJehova iyakunivuthela, nibhubhe masinyane ezweni elihle aninike lona.

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

Wayesethi uJoshuwa kubo abantu bonke : Bhekani, leli tshe liyakuba ngufakazi ngathi, ngokuba lizwile onke amazwi kaJehova awak huluma kithi; ngalokho liyakuba ngufakazi ngani, funa nimphike uNkulunkulu wenu.

Kwathi emva kwalezo zinto uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni , inceku kaJehova, wafa eneminyaka eyikhulu neshumi.

U-Israyeli wamkhonza uJehova zonke izinsuku zikaJoshuwa nazo zonke izinsuku zamalunga ayekhona izinsuku ezithile emva kukaJoshuwa , ayeyazi yonke imisebenzi kaJehova ayeyenzele u-Israyeli.

Ingelosi kaJehova yakhuphuka eGiligali , yaya eBokimi . Yathi: Nganikhuphula eGibithe , nginilethile ezweni engalifungela oyihlo ; ngathi: Angisoze ngaphula kuze kube phakade isivumelwano sami nani,

Kwathi ingelosi kaJehova isikhulumile lawo mazwi kubo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abantu badazuluka, bakhala.

UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni , inceku kaJehova, wafa eneminyaka eyikhulu neshumi.

ukuze ngivivinye ngazo u -Israyeli, uma beyakugcina indlela kaJehova ukuba bahambe ngayo njengalokho oyise bebeyigcina, noma qha.

Zazingezokuba u-Israyeli avi vinywe ngazo , kwazeke uma beyakulalela imiyalo kaJehova abayala ngayo oyise ngesandla sikaMose.

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , bamkhohlwa uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, bakhonza oBali no-Ashitaroti.

Ngalokho intukuthelo kaJehova yavuthela u -Israyeli, wathengisa ngabo esandleni sikaKushani Rishatayimi inkosi yase -Aramu Naharayimi ; abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bamkhonza uKushani Rishatayimi iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili.

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babuye benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , esefile u-Ehudi.

Qalekisani iMerozi , kwasho ingelos i kaJehova; qalekisani nokuqalekisa abantu balo, ngokuba abezanga ukumsiza uJehov a ukuba bamsize uJehova ukulwa neziqhwaga.

Kepha abantwana bakwa-Israyeli benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova; uJehova wabanikela esandleni sakwaMidiyani iminyaka eyisikhombisa.

Kwafika ingelosi kaJehova , yahlala phansi kwe -oki lase -Ofira likaJowashi umAbiyezeri; indodana yakhe uGideyoni yayibhula ukolweni esikhamweni sewayini ukuba amthukusele abakwaMidiyani.

Ingelosi kaJehova yabonakala kuye , yathi kuye : UJehova unawe wena qhawe elinamandla.

Ingelosi kaJehova yase yelula isihloko sentonga esesan dleni sayo, yathinta inyama namaqebelengwane angenamvubelo ; kwenyuka umlilo edwaleni , wadla waqeda inyama namaqebelengwane angenamvubelo ; ingelosi kaJehova yayisimuka emehlweni akhe.

Wayesebona uGideyoni ukuthi iyingelosi kaJehova ; uGideyoni wathi : Maye, Nkosi Nkulunkulu ! Ngokuba ngibonile ingelosi kaJehova ubuso nobuso.

Kepha uMoya kaJehova wammboza uGideyoni , wabetha icilongo , kwabuthana ama-Abiyezeri, amlandela.

Izigaba zontathu zabetha amacilongo , zaphohloza izitsha , zaphatha izimbaqa ngezandla zokhohlo namacilongo ngez andla zokunene ukuba ziwabethe; zamemeza zathi: Inkemba kaJehova nekaGideyoni!

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babuye benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , babakhonza oBali , no-Ashitaroti, nawonkulunkulu base -Aramu, nawonkulunkulu baseSidoni , nawonkulunkulu bakwaMowabi , nawonkulunkulu babantwana bakwa -Amoni, nawonkulunkulu bamaFilisti , bamshiya uJehova, kabamkhonza.

Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u -Israyeli, wathengisa ngabo esandleni samaFilisti nasesandleni sabantwana bakwa-Amoni.

Khona uMoya kaJehova wafika kuJefta , wadlula kwaGileyadi nakwaManase, wadlula naseMispa lakwaGileyadi ; esuka eMispa lakwaGileyadi wadlulela kubantwana bakwa-Amoni.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babuye benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova ; uJehova wabanikela esandleni samaFilisti iminyaka engamashumi amane.

Ingelosi kaJehova yabonakala kowesifazane , yathi kuye : Bheka-ke, uyinyumba, awuzali, kepha uyakukhulelwa, uzale indodana.

Ingelosi kaJehova yathi kuManowa : Konke engakushoyo kowesifazane makakuxwaye.

UManowa wayesethi engelosini kaJehova: Ake sikulibazise , sikulungisele izinyane lembuzi.

Ingelosi kaJehova yathi kuManowa: Noma ungilibazisa, angiyikudla ukudla kwakho; uma ulungisa umnikelo wokushiswa, uyakunikela ngawo kuJehova. Ngokuba uManowa wayengazi ukuthi uyingelosi kaJehova.

UManowa wathi engelosini kaJehova : Ngubani igama lakho ukuba , lapho esenzekile amazwi akho, sikudumise?

Ingelosi kaJehova yathi kuye : Ubuzelani igama lami, lokhu liyimfihlakalo, na?

Kwathi ilangabi lisaphuma e -altare lenyukela ngasezulwini , ingelosi kaJehova yenyuka elangabini le -altare; uManowa nomkakhe babukela; bawa ngobuso emhlabathini.

Kepha ingelosi kaJehova ayiphindanga ukubonakala kuManowa nomkakhe. Khona uManowa waqonda ukuthi yingelosi kaJehova.

UMoya kaJehova waqala ukumqhuba eMahane Dani phakathi kweSora ne - Eshitawoli.

UMoya kaJehova wafika phezu kwakhe ngamandla, walidwengula kungathi udwengula izinyane lembuzi , engaphethe lutho esandleni sakhe : kepha akabatshelanga uyise nonina abekwenzile.

Lapho efika eLehi , amaFilisti amhlangabeza ekhamuluka; uMoya kaJehova wafika kuye ngamandla , izintambo ezazisezingalweni zakhe zaba njengefilakisi elishiswe ngomlilo , nezibopho zakhe zancibilika , zasuka ezandleni zakhe.

Wathi kulo : Siyadlula sivela eBetlehema Juda , siya ohlangothini olungasemuva kwezintaba zakwa-Efrayimi; ngivela khona; ngaya eBetlehema Juda; sengiya endlini kaJehova , kepha akukho muntu ongamukela en dlini yakhe.

Athi: Bheka, kukhona umkhosi kaJehova iminyaka ngeminyaka eShilo elingasenyakatho kwaseBethele ngasempumalanga komendo okhuphuka eBethele uya eShekemi nangaseningizimu kwaseLebona.

Kwathi ukuba u -Elkana enze njalo iminyaka ngeminyaka , lapho enyukela endlini kaJehova , wamncokoloza kanjalo ; ngalokho wakhala , akadlanga lutho.

Kwathi esaqhubeka ukukhuleka phambi ku kaJehova, u-Eli waqaphela umlomo wakhe.

Eseyilumulile wenyuka nayo enezinkunzi ezintathu , ne-efa lempuphu , nemvaba yewayini , wakuyisa endlini kaJehova eShilo ; umntwana wayesemncane.

Isono sezinsizwa sasisikhulu kakhulu phambi kukaJehova , ngokuba abantu bawudelela umnikelo kaJehova.

USamuweli walala kwaze kwasa , wavula iminyango yendlu kaJehova . USamuweli wesaba ukumtshela u-Eli umbono.

Wonke u-Israyeli kusukela kwaDani kuze kube seBeri Sheba wazi ukuthi uSamuweli uqinisiwe ukuba abe ngumprofethi kaJehova.

AmaFilisti esezwa umsindo wokukhamuluka athi: Uthini umsindo walokhu kukhamuluka okukhulu ekamu lamaHeberu na ? Aqonda ukuthi umphongolo kaJehova ufikile ekamu.

Abase-Ashidodi sebevukile kusasa ekuseni, bheka, uDagoni wayewile phansi ngobuso phambi komphongolo kaJehova . Bamthatha uDagoni, bambuyisela endaweni yakhe.

Sebevukile kusasa ekuseni , bheka, uDagoni wayewile phansi ngobuso phambi komphongolo kaJehova ; ikhanda likaDagoni nezimpama zombili zezandla zakhe zazinqamukile zisembundwini ; kwasala isidumbu sakhe kuphela.

Umphongolo kaJehova wawusezweni lamaFilisti izinyanga eziyisikhombisa.

AmaFilisti abiza abapristi nababhuli , athi: Siyakwenze njani ngomphongolo kaJehova na? Saziseni ukuthi singawubuyisela kanjani endaweni yawo.

nithathe umphongolo kaJehova, niwubeke enqoleni, nifake impahla yegolide eniyibuyisela kuye ibe ngumnikelo wecala ebhokisini eliseceleni kwawo , niyimukise, ihambe.

bawubeka umphongolo kaJehova enqoleni kanye nebhokisi lamagundane egolide nemifanekiso yamathumba abo.

AmaLevi ayethulile umphongolo kaJehova nebhokisi elalinawo , okwakukulo impahla yegolide , akubeka etsheni elikhulu ; abantu baseBeti Shemeshi banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa , bahlabela uJehova imihlatshelo ngalolo suku.

namagundane ego lide ayenjengomumo wemizi yonke yamaFilisti yamakhosi ayisihlanu , imizi ebiyelweyo nemizana yasemaphandleni , okubufakazi bakho kuyitshe elikhulu abawubeka kulo umphongolo kaJehova, elikhona nanamuhla ensimini kaJoshuwa waseBeti Shemeshi.

Wabulala abantu baseBeti Shemeshi , ngokuba babebukile umphongolo kaJehova; wabulala kubantu amadoda angamashumi ayisikhombisa emadodeni ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisihlanu ; abantu balila , ngokuba uJehova wabulala abantu ngokubulala okukhulu.

Bathuma izithunywa kwabakhileyo eKiriyati Jeharimi , bathi: AmaFilisti awubuyisele umphongolo kaJehova; yehlani, niwukhuphulele kini.

Abantu baseKiriyati Jeharimi bafika , bakhuphula umphongolo kaJehova , bawungenisa endlini ka -Abinadaba entabeni , bamngcwelisa u -Eleyazare indodana yakhe ukuba agcine umphongolo kaJehova.

USamuweli wabatshela abantu abacela kuye inkosi onke amazwi kaJehova.

uMoya kaJehova uyakwehlela phezu kwakho , uyakuprofetha kanye nabo , uphenduke omunye umuntu.

Angithi kuyisikhathi sokuvuna ukolweni namuhla na ? Ngiyakukhuleka kuJehova ukuba athume ukuduma nemvula , nazi, nibone ukuthi okubi kwenu enikwenzile emehlweni kaJehova ngokucela inkosi kukhulu.

USamuweli wathi kuSawule : Wenze ngobuwula , awugcinanga umyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akuyala ngawo , ngokuba uJehova ubeseyakuqinisa umbuso wakho kwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade.

u-Ahiya indodana ka -Ahithubi, umfowabo ka-Ikabodi indodana kaFinehasi ka-Eli, umpristi kaJehova eShilo , wayembethe ingubo yamahlombe. Abantu babengazi ukuthi uJonathani uhambile.

USamuweli wathi kuSawule : UJehova wangithuma ukuba ngikugcobe ube yinkosi phezu kwabantu bakhe u-Israyeli; ngalokho lalela amazwi kaJehova.

Awulalelanga nga ni izwi likaJehova , kepha watheleka phakathi kwempango, wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, na?

Kwathi sebefikile , wabheka u-Eliyabe, wathi: Impela ogcotshiweyo kaJehova uphambi kwakhe.

USamuweli wayesethatha uphondo lwamafutha , wamgcoba phakathi kwabafowabo; uMoya kaJehova wehl ela phezu kukaDavide ngamandla , kusukela kulolo suku kuya phambili. Wayesesuka uSamuweli, waya eRama. UDavide uya endlunkulu

UMoya kaJehova wamuka kuSawule , nomoya omubi owavela kuJehova wamzuma.

Awuyikungenzela umusa kaJehova ukuba ngingafi ngisekhona kuphela,

Wathi kubantu bakhe: Makube kude nami , Jehova, ukuba ngenze okunjalo kuyo inkosi yami, ogcotshiweyo kaJehova, ngelulele isandla sami kuye, lokhu engogcotshiweyo kaJehova.

Bheka, namuhla amehlo akho abonile ukuthi uJehova wayekunikele esandleni sami emhumeni ; abanye bathi mangikubulale , kepha ngakuhawukela, ngathi: Angiyikwelulela isandla sami kuyo inkosi yami , ngokuba ingogcotshiweyo kaJehova.

UDavide wathi ku -Abishayi: Ungambulali, ngokuba ngubani ongelul ela isandla sakhe kogcotshiweyo kaJehova, angabi nacala, na?

UJehova makenqabe ukuba ngelulele isandla sami kogcotshiweyo kaJehova; ake uthathe umkhonto ongasekhanda lakhe nesigubhu samanzi , sihambe.

Akukuhle okwenzileyo . Kuphila kukaJehova , nimelwe ukuf a, ngokuba anilindanga inkosi yenu , ogcotshiweyo kaJehova . Manje bhekani ukuthi umkhonto wenkosi uphi nesigubhu samanzi esasingasekhanda lakhe.

UJehova uyakuphindisela , kube yilowo nalowo ngokulunga kwakhe nangokuthembeka kwakhe , lokhu uJehova ekunikele esandleni sami namuhla, angavuma ukwelulela isandla sami kogcotshiweyo kaJehova.

Futhi bheka , njengalokho ukuphila kwakho kwakukukhulu ngalolo suku emehlweni ami, ukuphila kwami makube kukhulu emehlweni kaJehova, yena angophule ekuhluphekeni konke.

Amehlo kaJehova anaka onokwazi, kepha uyachitha amazwi ombuluzayo.

UDavide wathi kuyo : Yini ukuba ungesabanga ukwelula isandla sakho , ubhubhise ogcotshiweyo kaJehova, na?

UDavide wathi kuye: Igazi lakho malibe phezu kwekhanda lakho , ngokuba umlomo wakho ufakazile ngawe , lapho uthi : Ngibulele ogcotshiweyo kaJehova. Isililo sikaDavide ngoSawule noJonathani

Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u -Uza, uNkulunkulu wamshaya lapho ngenxa yesiphosiso sakhe; wafela khona ngasemphongolweni kaNkulunkulu.

UDavide wamesaba uJehova ngalolo suku . Wathi: Umphongolo kaJehova uyakuza kanjani kimi na?

Ngalokho uDavide akavumanga ukuwuletha umphongolo kaJehova kuye emzini kaDavide , kepha uDavide wawubuyisela eceleni endlini ka -Obede Edomi umGiti.

Umphongolo kaJehova wahlala endlini ka -Obede Edomi umGiti izinyanga ezintathu; uJehova wambusisa u-Obede Edomi nendlu yakhe yonke.

Kwakuthi ababethwele umphongolo kaJehova sebehambile izinyathelo eziyisithupha, wahlaba inkabi nethole elikhuluphalisiweyo.

Kanjalo uDavide nayo yonke indlu ka -Israyeli benyusa umphongolo kaJehova ngokukhamuluka nangokukhala kwecilongo.

Kwathi umphongolo kaJehova ungena nje emzini kaDavide , uMikhali indodakazi kaSawule walunguza efasiteleni , wabona inkosi uDavide itshekula, isina phambi kukaJehova; wayidelela enhliziyweni yakhe.

Bawungenisa umphongolo kaJehova , bawubeka endaweni yawo phakathi kwetende uDavide alimisele wona ; uDavide wanik ela ngeminikelo yokushiswa nangeminikelo yokuthula phambi kukaJehova.

Sekuphelile ukulila , uDavide wathum a wamletha endlini yakhe ; waba ngumkakhe, wamzalela indodana . Kepha leyo nto eyenziwe nguDavide yayimbi emehlweni kaJehova.

UDavide wayesevuka emhlabathini , wageza, wazigcoba, waphendulela izingubo zakhe, wangena endlini kaJehova , wakhuleka; wayeseya endlini yakhe; lapho esecela ukudla, bakubeka phambi kwakhe, wadla.

Wathuma ngesandla sikaNathani umprofethi , wambiza ngokuthi uJedidiya ngenxa kaJehova. Ukuchithwa kweRaba

Inkosi yathi kuSadoki : Buyisela emzini umphongolo k aNkulunkulu; uma ngiyakufumana umusa emehlweni kaJehova , uyakungibuyisa, angibonise wona nendlu yawo;

Kepha u -Abishayi indodana kaSeruya waphendula wathi: UShimeyi akayikubulawa yini ngalokho , njengokuba wathuka ogcotshiweyo kaJehova , na?

masinikwe abantu abayisikhombisa bamadodana akhe , sibaphanyeke kuJehova eGibeya likaSawule , okhethiweyo kaJehova . Inkosi yathi : Ngiyakuninika bona.

UMoya kaJehova wakhuluma ngami; izwi lakhe lalisolimini lwami.

Intukuthelo kaJehova yabuye yavuthela u-Israyeli, wamvusa uDavide ngabo ngokuthi: Hamba ubale u-Israyeli noJuda.

Lapho ingelosi yelula isandla sayo kulo iJerusalema ukulichitha , uJehova wazisola ngalobo bubi, wathi engelosini eyachitha abantu: Sekwanele; buyisa isandla sakho. Ingelosi kaJehova yayisesibuyeni sika-Arawuna umJebusi.

USolomoni wahlangana ngobuhlobo noFaro inkosi yaseGibithe , wathatha indodakazi kaFaro , wayingenisa emzini kaDavide , waze waqeda ukwakha indlu yakhe, nendlu kaJehova, nogange lwaseJerusalema nxazonke.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wamakhulu a mane namashumi ayisishiyagalombili emva kokuphuma kwabantwana bakwa -Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe , ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kukaSolomoni phezu kwabakwa-Israyeli, ngenyanga kaZivi eyinyanga yesibili, waqala ukwakha indlu kaJehova.

Ngomnyaka wesine isisekelo sendlu kaJehova sase sibekiwe ngen yanga kaZivi.

Igceke elikhulu nxazonke lalinezinhla ezintathu zamatshe abaziweyo nohla lwemisedari njengegceke elingaphakathi lendlu kaJehova nompheme wendlu. Umsebenzi kaHiramu ethempelini

namakhanzi, namafosholo, nezitsha; zonke lezo zinto uHiramu azenzela inkosi uSolomoni endlini kaJehova zaziyithusi eliphucuziweyo.

USolomoni wenza-ke zonke izinto ezazisendlini kaJehova: i-altare legolide, netafula legolide okwakukhona kulo izinkwa zokubukwa,

Sekuphelile wonke umsebenzi inkosi uSolomoni eyawenzayo endlini kaJehova, uSolomoni wangenisa izinto uyise uDavide ay ezingcwelisile, isiliva, negolide, nezitsha, wakubeka engcebeni yendlu kaJehova.

Bakhuphula umphongolo kaJehova , netende lokuhlangana , nazo zonke izinto ezingcwele ezazisetendeni, kwakhushulwa ngabapristi namaLevi.

Kwathi lapho abapristi sebephumile enda weni engcwele , ifu lagcwalisa indlu kaJehova,

abapristi baze bangema ukukhonza ngenxa yefu , ngokuba inkazimulo kaJehova yagcwalisa indlu kaJehova.

USolomoni wanikela kube ngumhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula, owanikela ngawo kuJehova , izinkunzi eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amabili . Inkosi nabo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahlambulula-ke indlu kaJehova.

Ngalona lolo suku inkosi yangcwelisa ingaphakathi legceke elalinga phambi kwendlu kaJehova , ngokuba wanikela lapho ngomnikelo wokushiswa , nangomnikelo wempuphu, nangamanoni eminikelo yokuthula, lokhu i-altare lethusi elaliphambi kukaJehova lalilincane ukuba liwamukele umnikelo wokushiswa, nomnikelo wempuphu, namanoni eminikelo yokuthula.

Kwathi uSolomoni eseqedile ukwakha indlu kaJehova , nendlu yenkosi , nakho konke ukufisa kukaSolomoni ayefune ukukwenza,

Kwathi ngasekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi amabili uSolomoni akhe ngayo izindlu zombili, indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi,

Indaba yezisebenzi ezabizwa yinkosi uSolomoni ukwakha indlu kaJehova , nendlu yakhe , neMilo, nogange lwaseJerusalema , neHasori, neMegido, neGezeri inje:

Ngemi-alimugi inkosi yenzela indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi izinsika kanye namahabhu nezingubhu zabahlabeleli ; imi-alimugi eminingi kangaka ayizange isafika, kayibonwanga futhi, kuze kube namuhla.

USolomoni wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , kamlandelanga uJehova ngokupheleleyo njengoDavide uyise.

Uma laba bantu benyuka ukunikela ngemihlatshelo endlini kaJehova eJerusalema, inhliziyo yalaba bantu iyakuphindela enkosini yabo , kuRehobowamu inkosi yakwaJuda , bangibulale mina , babuyele kuRehobowamu inkosi yakwaJuda.

U-Asa wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova njengoDavide uyise.

Wangenisa endlini kaJehova izinto ezingcwele zikayise nezinto zakhe ezingcwele: isiliva, negolide, nezitsha.

U-Asa wayesethatha lonke isiliva negolide elalisele engcebeni yendlu kaJehova nengcebo yendlu yenkosi , wakunikela ezandleni zezinceku zakhe ; inkosi u -Asa yazithuma kuBeni Hadadi indodana kaTabirimoni kaHeziyoni , inkosi yase-Aramu, owayehlala eDamaseku, yathi:

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, wahamba endleleni kayise nasesonweni sakhe onisa ngaso u-Israyeli.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , wahamba endleleni kaJerobowamu nasesonweni sakhe onisa ngaso u-Israyeli.

Kwafika ngesandla somprofethi uJehu indodana kaHanani izwi likaJehova ngoBahasha nendlu yakhe ngenxa yakho konke okubi akwenza emehlweni kaJehova ukuthi wamcunula ngomsebenzi wezandla zakhe, waba njengendlu kaJerobowamu, nangenxa yokuba wayiqothula. O-Ela noZimri no-Omri no-Ahabi bangamakhosi kwa-Israyeli

ngenxa yezono zakhe one ngazo ngokwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , ngokuhamba endleleni kaJerobowamu nasesonweni sakhe asenzayo ukuba onise u-Israyeli.

Kepha u -Omri wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , wenza kabi kunabo bonke ababe ngaphambi kwakhe.

Kepha u -Ahabi, indodana ka -Omri, wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova kunabo bonke ababe ngaphambi kwakhe.

Kuyakuthi sengisukile kuwe , uMoya kaJehova akuyise lapho ngingazi khona, nanxa sengifika ukuba ngimtshele u -Ahabi, yena angakufumani , uyakungibulala; kepha mina nceku yakho ngiyamesaba uJehova kwasebusheni bami.

Kodwa wathi : Mina angimhluphanga u -Israyeli, kepha nguwe nendlu kayihlo, ngokuyilahla imiyalo kaJehova, uze ulandele oBali.

Wayesethi u-Eliya kubantu: Yimi ngedwa oseleyo engumprofethi kaJehova, kepha abaprofethi bakaBali bangabantu abangamakhulu amane namashumi ayisihlanu.

Wawusuwehla umlilo kaJehova , wawuqeda umnikelo wokushiswa , nezinkuni, namatshe, nothuli, wakhotha amanzi asemseleni.

Ingelosi kaJehova yabuye yamthinta ngokwesibili , yathi: Vuka udle , ngokuba indlela yakho inde.

Wayesethi uNaboti ku -Ahabi: Makube kude nami ngenxa kaJehova ukuba ngikunike ifa lawobaba.

Wayesethi u -Ahabi ku -Eliya: Usungitholile wena sitha sami na ? Wathi: Ngikutholile, ngokuba uzithengisile ukwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova.

Kepha akubangakho onjengo -Ahabi owazithengisa ukwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, edudwa ngu-Izebeli umkakhe.

Kepha uJehoshafati wathi : Akusekho mprofethi kaJehova lapha ukuba sibuze kuye na?

USedekiya indodana kaKhenahana wayesesondela , wamshaya uMikhaya esihlathini, wathi: UMoya kaJehova wasuka kimi ngaph i ukuba akhulume kuwe na?

Wahamba ngezindlela zonke zika-Asa uyise , kaphambukanga kuzo , enza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova . Kepha izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga; abantu babesanikela , babesashisa impepho ezindaweni eziphakemeyo.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, wahamba ngendlela kayise, nangendlela kanina, nangendlela kaJerobowamu indodana kaNebati ayonisile u-Israyeli.

Kepha ingelosi kaJehova yathi ku -Eliya waseThishibi : Suka ukhuphuke ukuhlangabeza izithu nywa zenkosi yaseSamariya , uthi kuzo : Kungokuba kungekho Nkulunkulu kwa -Israyeli ukuba niye nibuze kuBali Zebubi unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni na?

Ingelosi kaJehova yathi ku -Eliya: Yehla naye, ungamesabi. Wasuka wehla naye, waya enkosini.

Athi kuye : Bheka, kukhona phakathi kwezinceku zakho amadoda angamashumi ayisihlanu anamandla ; mawahambe, afune inkosi yakho ; kumbe uMoya kaJehova umkhuphulile , wamlahla entabeni ethile noma esigodini esithile. Kepha wathi: Ningawathumi.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova kepha kungenjengoyise nonina, ngokuba wasusa insika kaBali abeyenzile uyise.

Lokhu kulula emehlweni kaJehova ; uyakunikela abakwaMowabi esandleni senu.

Wahamba ngendlela yamakhosi akwa -Israyeli njengokwenza kwendlu ka - Ahabi, ngokuba indodakazi ka -Ahabi yayingumkakhe ; wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova.

Wahamba ngendlela yendlu ka -Ahabi, wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengokwenza kwendlu ka-Ahabi, ngokuba wayengumkhwenyana wendlu ka- Ahabi.

Kodwa uJehu akagcinanga ukuhamba emthethweni kaJehova uNkulunk ulu ka-Israyeli ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakhe , kasukanga ezonweni zikaJerobowamu onisa ngazo u-Israyeli.

Wayenaye ethukusiwe endlini kaJehova iminyaka eyisithupha ; u-Athaliya wabusa ezweni.

Ngomnyaka wesikhombisa uJehoyada wathumela walanda izinduna zamakhulu zamaKhari nezabalindi , wazingenisa kuye endlini kaJehova , wenza isivumelwano nazo , wazifungisa endl ini kaJehova , wazibonisa indodana yenkosi.

Amaviyo enu amabili , bonke abaphuma ngesabatha , ayakulinda indlu kaJehova enkosini.

Umpristi wanikela ezinduneni zamakhulu imikhonto nezihlangu okwakungokwenkosi uDavide, kusendlini kaJehova.

U-Athaliya esezwa ukumemeza kwabalindi nokwabantu waya kubantu endlini kaJehova,

UJehoyada, umpristi, wayala izinduna zamakhulu ezazibekwe phezu kwempi, wathi kuzo : Mkhipheni endlini , nimngenise phakathi kwezinhla ; omlandelayo nimbulale ngenkemba ; ngokuba umpristi wathi : Makangabulawa endlini kaJehova.

Bonke abantu bezwe baya endlini kaBali , bayibhidliza; ama-altare akh e nezithombe zakhe bakuphahlaza kakhulu , babulala uMathani , umpristi kaBali, phambi kwama-altare. Umpristi wamisela indlu kaJehova ababonisi.

UJehowashi wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova izinsuku zakhe zonke uJehoyada umpristi amfundisa ngazo.

UJehowashi wathi kubapristi : Lonke isiliva lezinto ezingcwele elingeniswa endlini kaJehova , imali eyamukelekayo , imali yilowo nalowo muntu alinganiselwe yona , nemali yonke okuvela enhliziyweni yomuntu ukuba ayilethe endlini kaJehova,

UJehoyada, umpristi, wayesethatha umphongolo , wabhoboza imbobo esivalweni sawo , wawubeka eceleni kwe -altare ngakwesok unene lapho umuntu engena endlini kaJehova ; abapristi abalinda umbundu bafaka khona yonke imali eyalethwa endlini kaJehova.

Kwathi lapho bebona ukuthi ikhona imali eningi emphongolweni , umbhali wenkosi nompristi omkhulu benyuka , bayibopha, bayibala imali eyafunyanwa endlini kaJehova.

Banika imali elinganisiweyo ezandleni zabasebenzayo, bengababonisi bendlu kaJehova , bakhokhela ababazi nabakhi ababesebenza endlini kaJehova,

nabakha ngamatshe , nababaza amatshe , nokuthenga imithi namatshe abaziweyo ukulungisa izimfa zendlu kaJehova , yebo, konke okwakhishelwa indlu ukuyilungisa.

Kodwa indlu kaJehova ayenzelwanga izindebe zesiliva , nezizenze, nezitsha, namacilongo, nazo zonke izinto zegolide , nezinto zesiliva ngemali eyalethwa endlini kaJehova,

ngokuba bayinika abasebenzayo, balungisa ngayo indlu kaJehova.

Imali yeminikelo yamacala , nemali yeminikelo yezono yayingangeniswa endlini kaJehova, yayingeyabapristi. UHazayeli uhlasela iJerusalema

UJehowashi, inkosi yakwaJuda , wathatha zonke izinto ezingcwele , ezingcwelisiwe ngoJehoshafati noJehoramu no-Ahaziya oyise , amakhosi akwaJuda, nezinto zakhe ezingcwelisiwe , nalo lonke igolide elafunyanwa engcebeni endlini kaJehova nasendlini yenkosi , wakuthuma kuHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu; wayesesuka eJerusalema.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , walandela izono zikaJerobowamu , indodana kaNebati, onisa ngazo u-Israyeli, kasukanga kuzo.

Intukuthelo kaJehova yavuthela u -Israyeli, wabanikela esandleni sikaHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu nasesandleni sikaBeni Hadadi indodana kaHazayeli sonke lesi sikhathi.

Wenza okubi emehlwe ni kaJehova , kasukanga kuzo zonke izono zikaJerobowamu indodana kaNebati onisa ngazo u -Israyeli, kodwa wahamba kuzo.

Wathi: Vula ifasitele ngasempumalanga . Yalivula. Wayesethi u -Elisha: Cibishela. Yacibishela-ke. Wathi: Ngumcibisholo kaJehova wokusindisa , umcibisholo wokusindiswa kuma -Aramu, ngokuba uyakubulala ama -Aramu e-Afeki, uwaqede.

Wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova , kungenjengoDavide uyise kodwa ; wenza njengakho konke uJowashi uyise akwenzileyo.

Wathatha lonke igolide nesiliva , nazo zonke izitsha ezafunyanwa endlini kaJehova nasengcebeni endlini yenkosi , nabayisibambiso, wabuyela eSamariya.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , kasukanga ezonweni zonke zikaJerobowamu, indodana kaNebati, onisa ngazo u-Israyeli.

Wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova njengakho konke akwenzileyo uyise u-Amasiya.

Wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova , wenza njengakho konke akwenzileyo uyise u-Uziya.

Nokho izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga; abantu babesahlaba, besashisa impepho ezindaweni eziphakemeyo . Wakha isango lasenhla endlini kaJehova.

U-Ahazi wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa , wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nesithupha eJerusalema ; akenzanga okulungile emehlweni kaJehova, uNkulunkulu wakhe, njengoDavide uyise.

U-Ahazi wathatha isiliva negolide elafunyanwa endlini kaJehova nasengcebeni endlini yenkosi, walithuma enkosini yase-Asiriya laba yisipho.

Kepha i -altare lethusi elaliphambi kukaJehova , yalisusa ngaphambi kwendlu phakathi kwe -altare nendlu kaJehova , yalibeka ohlangothini lwasenyakatho lwe-altare layo.

Indlela esibekelwey o yesabatha ababeyakhe endlini nendawo yokungena yenkosi engaphandle yakuphambukisela endlini kaJehova ngenxa yenkosi yase-Asiriya.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , nokho kungenjengamakhosi akwa - Israyeli ayephambi kwakhe.

Bashiya yonke imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunku lu wabo, bazenzela izithombe ezibunjiweyo, amathole amabil i, benza no -Ashera, bakhuleka kulo lonke ibandla lasezulwini, bakhonza uBali.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengakho konke abakwenzileyo oyise.

Badabulisa amadodana abo namadodakazi abo emlilweni , babhula, benza imilingo, bazithengisela ukwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova ukumcunula.

Naye uJuda akagcinanga imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo , kepha wahamba ngezimiso zakwa-Israyeli azenzileyo.

Wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova njengakho konke akwenzileyo uDavide uyise.

ngokuba abalalelanga izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo , kepha beqa isivumelwano sakhe ; konke ayala ngakho uMose inceku kaJehova kabavumanga ukukulalela nokukwenza.

UHezekiya wamnika lonke isiliva elalifunyanwa endlini kaJehova nasengcebeni endlini yenkosi.

Kwathi inkosi uHezekiya ikuzwile lokho , yaklebhula izingubo zayo , yazembesa indwangu yamasaka, yangena endlini kaJehova.

UHezekiya wayamukela incwadi esandleni sezithunywa , wayifunda; uHezekiya wayesenyukela endlini kaJehova, wayeneka phambi kukaJehova.

Kwathi ngalobo busuku kw aphuma ingelosi kaJehova , yabulala ekamu labase-Asiriya abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi ayishiyagalombili nanhlanu; sekuvukwa ngakusasa, bheka, kwakuyizidumbu zodwa ezifileyo.

Buya, uthi kuHezekiya umholi wabantu bami : U sho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu kaDavide uyihlo , uthi: Ngizwile umkhuleko wakho , ngibonile izinyembezi zakho ; bheka, ngiyakukuphilisa; ngosuku lwesithathu uyakwenyukela endlini kaJehova.

Wayesethi uHezekiya ku-Isaya: Siyakuba yini isibonakaliso sokuthi uJehova uyangiphilisa nokuthi ngiyakwenyukela endlini kaJehova ngosuku lwesithathu na?

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengezinengiso zabezizwe uJehova abaxosha phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Wakha ama -altare endlini kaJehova , uJehova asho ngayo ukuthi : Ngiyakubeka igama lami eJerusalema.

Wakhela nalo lonke ibandla lasezulwini ama -altare emagce keni omabili endlu kaJehova.

Wadabulisa indodana yakhe emlilweni , wahlola imihlola, wenza imilingo, wamisa abanamadlozi , nabathakathi, wenza okubi okuningi emehlweni kaJehova, waze wamcunula.

Futhi uManase wachitha kakhulu igazi elingenacala , waze wagcwalisa iJerusalema kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni , ngaphandle kwesono sakhe onisa ngaso uJuda ngokwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova.

Wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova , wahamba ngendlela yonke kaDavide uyise, kachezukelanga ngakwesokunene nangakwesokhohlo.

Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili wenkosi uJosiya inkosi yathuma uShafani indodana ka -Asaliya kaMeshulamu , umbhali, endlini kaJehova, yathi:

Yenyukela kuHilikiya umpristi omkhulu ukuba abale imali eyiswe endlini kaJehova, iqoqwe ngabalindimnyango kubantu,

bayibeke esandleni sezisebenzi eziphethe indlu kaJehova, bakhokhele ngayo abasebenza umsebenzi wasendlini kaJehova ukulungisa izimfa zendlu,

UHilikiya, umpristi omkhulu, wathi kuShafani umbhali: Ngifumene incwadi yomthetho endlini kaJehova . UHilikiya wanika uShafani leyo ncwadi, wayifunda.

UShafani umbhali waya enkosini, waletha umbiko enkosini, wathi: Izinceku zakho zithululile imali eyafunyanwa endlini , zayibeka esandleni sezisebenzi eziphethe indlu kaJehova.

Hambani ningibuzele kuJehova , mina nabantu , naye wonke uJuda ngamazwi ale ncwadi efunyenweyo , ngokuba inkulu intukuthelo kaJehova esivuthelayo, ngokuba obaba abalalelanga amazwi ale ncwadi ukwenza njengakho konke okulotshiwe ngathi. Umprofethikazi uHulida

Inkosi yenyukela endlini kaJehova, bonke abantu bakwaJuda nabo bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema benayo, kanye nabapristi nabaprofethi, yebo, abantu bonke, abancane nabakhulu, yafunda ezindlebeni zabo onke amazwi encwadi yesivumelwano ebifunyenwe endlini kaJehova.

Yadiliza izindlu zezifebe zethempeli ezazisendlini kaJehova , lapho abesifazane bemelukela khona u-Ashera amatende.

Yasusa namahhashi amakhosi akwaJuda anikele ngawo kulo ilanga ngasendleleni yokungena endlini kaJehova ngasekamelweni likaNathani Meleki induna yasePariwarimi, yashisa izinqola zelanga ngomlilo.

Ama-altare ayesophahleni lwekamelo eliphezulu lika -Ahazi, elenziwe ngamakhosi akwaJuda, nama-altare enziwe nguManase emagcekeni omabili endlu kaJehova inkosi yawadiliza , yasuka yagijima , yalahla uthuli emfudlaneni iKidroni.

Futhi abanamadlozi , nabathakathi, namatherafi, nezithombe, nazo zonke izinengiso ezazibonwa ezweni lakwaJuda naseJerusalema uJosiya wakuqeda ukuba afeze amaz wi omthetho alotshwe encwadini uHilikiya umpristi ayifumanayo endlini kaJehova.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengakho konke abakwenzileyo oyise.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengakho konke akwenzileyo uyise.

Yakhipha khona yonke ingcebo yendlu kaJehova nengcebo yendlu yenkosi , yahlahlela zonke izinto zeg olide uSolomoni inkosi yakwa -Israyeli azenzileyo ethempelini likaJehova njengokukhuluma kukaJehova.

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

Washisa indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi; nazo zonke izindlu zaseJerusalema, zonke izindlu ezinkulu, wazishisa ngomlilo.

Izinsika zethusi ezazisendlini yenkosi , nezinqe, nolwandle lwethusi okwakusendlini kaJehova amaKaledi akuhlephula , athuthela ithusi lakho eBabele.

Izinsika zombili , nolwandle olwalulunye nje , nezinqe uSolomoni ayekwenzele indlu kaJehova , ithusi lazo zonke lezi zinto lalingenakulinganiswa.

Amadodana kaJuda : ngo-Eri, no-Onani, noShela; labo abathathu bazalwa nguye kuBati Shuwa , umKhananikazi. Kepha u -Eri, izibulo likaJuda , wayemubi emehlweni kaJehova; wambulala.

Nampa uDavide abamisela ukuhola ukuhlabelela endlini kaJehova , umphongolo usubekiwe khona.

Bakhonza ngokuhlabelela phambi kwetabernakele letende lokuhlangana , uSolomoni waze wakha indlu kaJehova eJerusalema . Bema emse benzini wabo njengomthetho wabo.

Bona nabantw ana babo babephethe amasango endlu kaJehova , indlu yetende, belinda.

Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u -Uza, wamshaya, ngokuba welulela isandla emphongolweni; wafela khona lapho phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

UDavide wabuthela wonke u -Israyeli eJerusalema ukukhuphulela umphongolo kaJehova endaweni yawo awulungisele yona.

Nina niyizinhloko zezindlu zawoyise bamaLevi ; zingcweliseni nina nabafowenu ukuba niwukhuphulele umphongolo kaJehova uNkulunkulu ka- Israyeli endaweni engiyilungisele wona.

Base bezingcwelisa abapristi namaLevi ukuba bawukhuphule umphongolo kaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

Wabela amaLevi athile ukukhonza phambi komphongolo kaJehova ukuba amkhumbule, ambonge, amdumise uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli:

ukuba banikele njalo ngeminikelo yokushiswa phezu kwe -altare lomnikelo wokushiswa ekuseni nakusihlwa njengakho konke okulotshiweyo emthethweni kaJehova ayala ngawo u-Israyeli,

Zikhethele noma indlala yeminyaka emithathu , noma ukuchithwa yizitha zakho iz inyanga ezintathu uficwa yinkemba yezitha zakho , noma izinsuku ezintathu zenkemba kaJehova nesifo ezweni , ingelosi kaJehova ichithe emikhawulweni yonke yakwa -Israyeli. Manje zibonele izwi engiyakulibuyisela kongithumileyo.

UNkulunkulu wathuma ingelosi eJerusalema ukulichitha ; kwathi lapho isalichitha, uJehova wabuka , wazisola ngalobo bubi , wathi engelosini echithayo: Sekwanele; buyisa isandla sakho . Ingelosi kaJehova yayimi ngasesibuyeni sika-Orinani umJebusi.

UDavide wayesephakamisa amehlo akhe , wayibona ingelosi kaJehova imi emkhathini womhlaba nezu lu, inenkemba ehoshiweyo esandleni sayo , yelulelwe phezu kweJerusalema . UDavide namalunga bembethe izindwangu zamasaka bawa ngobuso babo.

Ingelosi kaJehova yamyala uGadi ukusho kuDavide ukuba uDavide enyuke, amisele uJehova i-altare esibuyeni sika-Orinani umJebusi.

Kepha uDavide wayengenakuya phambi kwalo ukubuza kuNkulunkulu , ngokuba wagebhezelela inkemba yengelosi kaJehova.

UDavide wathi: Le iyindlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu , leli liyi-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa ka-Israyeli.

Kalokhu, ndodana yami, uJehova makabe nawe, ube nempumelelo, wakhe indlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho njengokukhuluma kwakhe kuwe.

Kuphela, uJehova makakuphe ukuhlakanipha nokuqonda , akuyale ngo - Israyeli ukuba ugcine umthetho kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.

Bheka, ekuhluphekeni kwami ngilungisele indlu kaJehova amatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu egolide , namatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyinkulungwane esiliva, nethusi nensimbi okungenakulinganiswa, ngokuba kuningi; ngilungisile nemithi namatshe; uyakwenezela kukho.

Kalokhu nikelani inhliziyo yenu nomphefumulo wenu ekufuneni uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ; sukani nakhe indlu en gcwele kaJehova uNkulunkulu ukuba kungeniswe umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova nezinto ezingcwele zikaNkulunkulu endlini eyakwakhelwa igama likaJehova.

Ayizinkulungwane ezingamashum i amabili nane kuwona ayengawokwengamela umsebenzi wendlu kaJehova ; izinkulungwane eziyisithupha zaziyizinduna nabahluleli;

Ihabu nogubhu , isigubhu negenkle , newayini kukhona emadilini abo , kepha abanakekeli imisebenzi kaJehova, nezenzo zezandla zakhe abaziboni.

Ngalokho njengolimi lomlil o ludla amabibi , nezikhotha ezomileyo zizika elangabini, impande yabo iyakuba njengokubola, nembali yabo iyakuthuquka njengebhuqu, ngokuba balahlile umthetho kaJehova Sebawoti , balidelela izwi loNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

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.

Yilabo ababe ngamadodana kaLevi ngezindlu zawoyise, izinhloko zawoyise, bebalwa ngomumo wamaga ma ngezinhloko zabo , abawenza umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaJehova , kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabili kuya phezulu.

Ngokuba indawo yawo yayingasesandleni samadodana ka-Aroni ukukhonza endlini kaJehova, nasemagcekeni, nasemakamelweni, nokuhlambulula zonke izinto ezingcwele, nomsebenzi wenkonzo endlini kaNkulunkulu,

UPhashuri indodana ka -Imeri umpristi owayengumbonisi omkhulu endlini kaJehova wamuzwa uJeremiya eprofetha ngalezo zinto.

UPhashuri wamshaya uJeremiya umprofethi, wamfaka esitokisini esasingasesangweni lasenhla lakwaBenjamini elalingasendlini kaJehova.

Intukuthelo kaJehova ayiyikubuya aze enze, aze afeze umgomo wenhliziyo yakhe; ezinsukwini ezizayo niyakukuqonda nokukuqonda.

Nxa laba bantu , noma umprofethi, noma umpristi, bekubuza bethi: Iyini indaba kaJehova ? uyakubatshela ukuthi : Yinina eniyindaba , nokuthi: Ngiyakunilahla, usho uJehova.

Nomprofethi-ke, nompristi, nabantu abayakusho ukuthi : Indaba kaJehova, ngiyakuhambela lowo muntu nendlu yakhe.

Indaba kaJehova anisayikuyikhumbula, ngokuba izwi lalowo nalowo muntu liyakuba yindaba yakhe , lokhu niwahlanekezele amazwi kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu wethu.

Kepha uma nithi : Indaba kaJehova , khona uJehova usho kanje , uthi: Ngenxa yokuba nithi leli zwi lokuthi indaba kaJehova , noma mina ngathumela kini, ngathi: Aniyikuthi: Indaba kaJehova,

Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Yima egcekeni lendlu kaJehova, ukhulume kuyo yonke imizi yakwaJuda efika ukukhuleka endlini kaJehova onke amazwi engikuyala ukuwakhuluma kubo, ungagodli zwi.

Abapristi, nabaprofethi, nabo bonke abantu bezwa uJeremiya ekhuluma lawo mazwi endlini kaJehova.

Uprofetheleni egameni likaJehova ukuthi: Le ndlu iyakuba njengeShilo, nalo muzi uyakuchithwa kungabe kusaba khona owuhlalayo , na? Bonke abantu babebuthene kuJeremiya endlini kaJehova.

Izikhulu zakwaJuda zazizwa lezo zinto , zakhuphuka endlini yenkosi , zaya endlini kaJehova, zahlala esikhaleni sesango elisha lendlu kaJehova.

Ngase ngikhuluma kubapristi nakubo bonke laba bantu, ngithi: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ningawalaleli amazwi abaprofethi benu abaprofetha kini ukuthi: Bhekani, izitsha zendlu kaJehova ziyakubuyiswa eBabele masinyane. Ngokuba baprofetha amanga kini.

Kepha uma bengabaprofethi, uma izwi likaNkulunkulu likubo, mabamnxuse uJehova Sebawoti, ukuba izitsha ezisele endlini kaJehova, nasendlini yenkosi yakwaJuda, naseJerusalema zingayi eBabele.

yebo, usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, ngezitsha ezisele endlini kaJehova, nasendlini yenkosi yakwaJuda , naseJerusalema, uthi:

Kwathi ngawona lowo mnyaka ekuqaleni kokubusa kukaSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda ngomnyaka wesine , ngenyanga yesihlanu , uHananiya indodana ka-Azuri, umprofethi waseGibeyoni , wakhuluma kimi endlini kaJehova phambi kwabapristi nabantu bonke, wathi:

Ingakapheli iminyaka emibili ngiyakubuyisela kule ndawo zonke izitsha zendlu kaJehova azithatha kule ndawo uNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele, waziyisa eBabele,

Kepha umprofethi uJeremiya wathi kumprofethi uHananiya phambi kwabapristi, nabantu bonke ababemi endaweni kaJehova,

UJehova ukubeke umpristi esikhundleni sikaJehoyada umpristi ukuba nibe yizinduna zabo bonke abantu abahlanyay o nabaprofethayo endlini kaJehova ukuze ubafake esitokisini nasemaketangeni;

UJeremiya wamyala uBaruki ngokuthi: Ngivalelwe, anginakungena endlini kaJehova.

izwi lokujabula nezwi lokuthokoza , izwi lomyeni nezwi lomakoti , izwi labathi: Bongani uJehova Sebawoti , ngokuba uJehova muhle , ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade , nelabaletha iminikelo yokubonga endlini kaJehova. Ngokuba ngiyakukubuyisa ukuthunjwa kwezwe nje ngakuqala, usho uJehova.

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

ngabangenisa endlini kaJehova ekamelweni lamadodana kaHanani indodana ka-Igidaliya, umuntu kaNkulunkulu owayeseceleni kwekamelo lezikhulu elaliphezu kwekamelo likaMahaseya indodana kaShalumi, umlindisango.

UJeremiya wayesebiza uBaruki indodana kaNeriya ; uBaruki waloba emqulwini wencwadi onke amazwi kaJehova ayewakhulume kuye , ewathatha emlonyeni kaJeremiya.

Hamba wena , ufunde emqulwini owulobileyo , uthathe emlonyeni wami , amazwi kaJehova ezindl ebeni zabantu endlini kaJehova ngosuku lokuzila ukudla, uwafunde nasezindlebeni zabo bonke abakwaJuda abavela emizini yakubo.

UBaruki indodana kaNeriya wenza njengakho konke uJeremiya umprofethi amyala ngakho, efunda encwadini amazwi kaJehova endlini kaJehova.

UBaruki wayesefunda encwadini amazwi kaJeremiya endlini kaJehova ekamelweni l ikaGemariya indodana kaShafani umbhali egcekeni lasenhla ngasesikhaleni sesango elisha lendlu kaJehova ezindlebeni zabantu bonke.

Kepha yena nezinceku zakhe nabantu bezwe abawalalelanga amazwi kaJehova awakhulumayo ngesandla sikaJeremiya umprofethi.

USedekiya inkosi wathumela wamthatha uJeremiya umprofethi , wamzisa kuye esikhaleni sesithathu esisendlini kaJehova ; inkosi yathi kuJeremiya : Ngithanda ukubuza into kuwe, ungangifihleli lutho.

kwafika amadoda angamashumi ayisis hiyagalombili evela eShekemi , naseShilo, naseSamariya, izilevu zawo ziphuculiwe nezingubo ziklejuliwe , bezisikile, bephethe iminikelo yempuphu nempepho ezandleni zabo ukuba bakulethe endlini kaJehova.

Kwathi lapho uJeremiya eseqedile ukukhuluma kubantu bonke onke amazwi kaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo , uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo amthume nawo kubo, onke lawa mazwi,

Awu wena nkemba kaJehova , koze kube nini ungathuli na ? Buyela emgodleni wakho, uthule, uzole.

Makaqalekiswe owenza umsebenz i kaJehova ng okunganakekeli, aqalekiswe naye ogodla inkemba yakhe egazini.

Ngenxa yentukuthelo kaJehova aliyikuhlalwa muntu , kepha liyakuba yincithakalo lonke ; bonke abadlula eBabele bayakumangala , bancimfe ngenxa yazo zonke izinhlupheko zalo.

Memezani kulo nxazonke ; lizinikele, izisekelo zalo ziwile , izingange zalo zidiliziwe, ngokuba kuyimpindiselo kaJehova ; phindiselani kulo, nenze kulo njengokwenza kwalo.

Balekani eBabele, yilowo nalowo akhulule ukuphila kwakhe, ninganqunywa ngokona kwalo , ngokuba kuyisikhathi sempindiselo kaJehova , uyakuliphindisela.

UJehova uvezile imfanelo yethu ; wozani silande eSiyoni umsebenz i kaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.

Umhlaba uyathuthumela , uqhaqhazele, ngokuba amacebo kaJehova ngeBabele em i okuba enze izwe laseBabele libe yincithakalo , kuze kungabikho ohlala khona.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengakho konke akwenzileyo uJehoyakimi.

Ngokuba kwenzeka lok ho eJerusalema nakwaJuda ngenxa yentukuthe lo kaJehova, waze wabalahla ebusweni bakhe ; uSedekiya wayihlubuka inkosi yaseBabele.

Washisa indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi ; nazo zonke izindlu zaseJerusalema, zonke izindlu ezinkulu, wazishisa ngomlilo.

Umoya wamakhala ethu , ogcotshiweyo kaJehova , wabanjwa emigodini yabo, esathi ngaye: Phansi kwethunzi lakhe siyakuphila phakathi kwezizwe.

Njengothingo olusemafwini ngosuku lwemvula kwabonakala kanjalo ukumenyezela nxazonke . Kwakunjengesimo senkazimulo kaJehova . Lapho ngiyibona, ngawa ngobuso, ngezwa izwi lokhulumayo.

Bayakuphonsa isiliva labo ezitaladini , igolide labo libe yinto engcolileyo , isiliva labo negolide labo kungabi namandla okubophula ngosuk u lwentukuthelo kaJehova; abayikusuthisa imiphefumulo yabo , bangagcwalisi izibilini zabo, ngokuba kade kuyisikhubekiso sobubi babo.

Wayesengiyisa esivalweni sesango lendlu kaJehova elingasenyakatho; bheka, nampo abesifazane behlezi belilela uTamuzi.

Wayesengingenisa egcekeni elingaphakathi lendlu kaJehova ; bheka, ngasemnyango weth empeli likaJehova phakathi kompheme ne -altare kwakukhona kungathi amadoda angamashumi amabili nanhlanu efulathele ithempeli likaJehova, ubuso bawo bubhekene nempumalanga, ekhonza ilanga ngasempumalanga.

Inkazimulo kaJehova yenyuka ekherubini, yaya embundwini wendlu; indlu yagcwala ifu, igceke lagcwala ukumenyezela kwenkazimulo kaJehova.

Inkazimulo kaJehova yaphuma phezu kombundu wendlu , yema phezu kwamakherubi.

Amakherubi aphakamisa amaphiko awo , enyuka emhlabathini phambi kwamehlo ami ekuphumeni kwawo , amasondo eseceleni kwawo ; ema ngasesivalweni sesango lasempumalanga lendlu kaJehova ; inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli yayiphezu kwawo.

UMoya wangiphakamisa , wangiyisa esangweni lendlu kaJehova lasempumalanga, elibhekene nempumalanga; bheka, ngasesivalweni sesango kwakukhona amadoda angamashumi amabi li nanhlanu ; ngabona phakathi kwawo uJahazaniya indodana ka -Azuri noPhelathiya indodana kaBenaya , izikhulu zabantu.

UMoya kaJehova wehlela phezu kwami , wathi kimi: Yisho uthi: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Nisho njalo nina ndlu ka -Israyeli; ngiyazi mina okungena emoyeni wenu.

Inkazimulo kaJehova yakhuphuka phakathi komuzi , yema entabeni engasempumalanga komuzi.

Isandla sikaJehova sasiphezu kwami , sangikhipha ngoMoya kaJehova , sangibeka phakathi kwesigodi; sasigcwele amathambo.

bheka, inkazimulo kaJehova ka-Israyeli yavela ngasempumalanga , izwi lakhe lalinjengokuholoba kwamanzi amaningi , umhlaba wakhanya ngenkazimulo yakhe.

Inkazimulo kaJehova yangena endlini ngendlela yesango elibheke ngasempumalanga.

UMoya wangiphakamisa , wangingenisa egcekeni elin gaphakathi; bheka, inkazimulo kaJehova yayigcwalisa indlu.

Wayesengiyisa ngaphambi kwendlu ngendlela yesango lasenyakatho ; ngabuka, bheka, inkazimulo kaJehova yagcwalisa i ndlu kaJehova , ngawa ngobuso bami.

UJehova wathi kimi : Ndodana yomuntu , beka inhl iziyo yakho , ubone ngamehlo akho, uzwe ngezindlebe zakho konke engikukhuluma kuwe ngazo zonke izimiso zendlu kaJehova nangayo yonke imithetho yayo , uqaphele indawo yendlu yokungena nazo zonke izindawo zokuphuma zendlu engcwele.

Nanku umnikelo ongcwele : owabapristi uyakuba yizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu ngasenyakatho , nangasentshonalanga izinkulungwane eziyishumi ububanzi , nangasempumalanga izinkulungwane eziyishumi ububanzi , nangaseningizimu izinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu ubude, indlu engcwele kaJehova ibe phakathi nawo.

Abayikuthululela uJehova iwayini; imihlatshelo yabo ayiyikuba mihle kuye, isinkwa sabo sibe njengesinkwa sabalilayo ; bonke abasidlayo bayakungcola , ngokuba isinkwa sabo siyakuba ngesephango, singangeni endlini kaJehova.

Niyakwenze njani ngosuku lomhlangano nangosuku lomkhosi kaJehova na?

Kuyakushiwo, nina ndlu kaJakobe , ukuthi uMoya kaJehova unyinyekile ; yizenzo zakhe lezi na? Awamahle yini amazwi ami kohamba ngobuqotho?

Kuyakuthi ngalolo suk u izintaba ziconse iwayini elimnandi , amagquma agobhoze ubisi , yonke imifula yakwaJuda igobhoze amanzi ; kuyakuvela umthombo endlini kaJehova oyakunisela isigodi saseShithimi.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Ngenxa yeziphambeko ezintathu zakwaJuda , yebo, ngenxa yezine , angiyikuguquka, ngokuba bawulahlile umthe tho kaJehova, abagcinanga izimiso zakhe , namanga abo abadukisile , abawalandelayo nawoyise.

Bhekani, izinsuku ziyeza, isho iNkosi uJehova, lapho ngiyakuthuma indlala ezweni, kungabi yindlala yezinkwa, kungabi ngukomela amanzi, kepha kube ngeyokuzwa amazwi kaJehova.

Izizwe eziningi ziyakuhamba , zithi: Wozani sikhuphukele entabeni kaJehova nasendlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe; uyakusifundisa izindlela zakhe, sihambe emikhondweni yakhe, ngokuba umthetho uyakuvela eSiyoni , nezwi likaJehova eJerusalema.

Bayakuhlala, kube yilowo nalowo phansi komvini wakh e naphansi komkhiwane wakhe ; akakho oyakubesabisa , ngokuba umlomo kaJehova Sebawoti ukhulumile.

Kepha azazi imicabango kaJehova , aziqondi amasu akhe , ngokuba uzibuthile njengezithungu esibuyeni.

Uyakuma, aluse ngamandla kaJehova nangokuphakama kwegam a likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe ; sebeyakuhlala, ngokuba uzakuba mkhul u kuze kube semajukujukwini omhlaba.

Ngokuba umhlaba uyakugcwala ukwazi inkazimulo kaJehova, njengamanzi asibekela ulwandle.

Kuyakuthi ngosuku lomhlatshelo kaJehova , ngihambele izikhulu , namadodana enkosi, nabo bonke abembethe isambatho sabezizwe.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Laba bantu bathi : Akukabi yisikhathi sokuza, isikhathi sokwakha indlu kaJehova.

UJehova wavuselela umoya kaZerubabele indodana kaSheyalitiyeli, umbusi wakwaJuda, nomoya kaJoshuwa indodana kaJehosadaki , umpristi omkhulu, nomoya wensali yonke y abantu, bafika, benza umsebenzi endlini kaJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu wabo,

Base bethatha , bathi kuyo ingelosi kaJehova eyayimi phakathi kwemibomvana: Sihambahambile emhlabeni; bheka, wonke umhlaba uhlezi uthule.

Yayisithatha ingelosi kaJehova , yathi: Jehova Sebawoti , koze kube nini ungabi nasihe kulo iJerusalema nakuyo imizi yakwaJuda oyithu kuthelele le minyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa na?

Wayesengibonisa uJoshuwa umpristi omkhulu emi phambi kwengelosi kaJehova, noSathane emi ngakwesokunene sakhe ukumelana naye.

Ngase ngithi : Mababeke isigqoko esihlanzekileyo ekhanda lakhe . Base bebeka isigqoko esihlanzekileyo ekhanda lakhe , bamembathisa izingubo , ingelosi kaJehova isemi khona.

Ingelosi kaJehova yagomela kuJoshuwa, yathi:

nokukhuluma kubapristi abasendlini kaJehova Sebawoti nakubaprofethi ngokuthi: Ngikhale ngenyanga yesihlanu , ngizile, njengalokho ngenzile le minyaka eminingi, na?

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Ngiyakubuyela eSiyoni , ngihlale phakathi kweJerusalema; iJerusalema liyakuthiwa uMuzi Weqiniso nentaba kaJehova Sebawoti iNtaba Engcwele.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Maziqine izandla zenu nina enizwa kulezi zinsuku lawa mazwi avela emlonyeni wabaprofethi ababe khona mhla sibekwa isisekelo sendlu kaJehova Sebawoti, ithempeli, ukuba yakhiwe.

Wathi kimi uJehova : Ziphonse kumbumbi, inani elikhulu engilinganisiwe nalo yibo . Ngazamukela izinhlamvu ezingamashumi amathathu zesiliva , ngaziphonsa kumbumbi endlini kaJehova.

Ngalolo suku uJe hova uyakulondoloza abakhileyo eJerusalema ; okhubekayo phakathi kwabo ngalolo suku uyakuba njengoDavide , indlu kaDavide ibe njengoNkulunkulu, njengengelosi kaJehova ngaphambi kwabo.

Ngalolo suku kuyakulotshwa ezikhencezweni zamahhashi ukuthi : Zahlukaniselwe uJehova, amakhanzi asendlini kaJehova abe njengemikhele phambi kwe-altare.

Onke amakhanzi eJerusalema nakwaJuda ayakwahlukaniselwa uJehova Sebawoti; bonke abahlabayo bayakufika , bathathe kuwo , bapheke kuwo , kungabe kusabakho mthengisi ngalolo suku endlini kaJehova Sebawoti.

UJuda ukhohlisile , isinengiso senziwe kw a-Israyeli naseJerusalema , ngokuba uJuda uyingcolisile indlu engcwele kaJehova ayithandayo , waganwa yindodakazi kankulunkulu wabezizwe.

Nimkhathazile uJehova ngamazwi enu . Nokho nithi: Simkhathaze kanjani? Ngokusho ukuthi : Bonke abenza okubi bahle emehlweni kaJehova ; yena uthokoza ngabo, noma: Uphi uNkulunkulu wokwahlulela na?
