USolomoni wabusa e Jerusalema phezu kuka -Israyeli wonke iminyaka engamashumi amane.

Wabusa iminyaka emithathu eJerusalema ; igama likanina lalinguMikhaya indodakazi ka-Uriyeli waseGibeya. Kwakukhona ukulwa phakathi kuka-Abiya noJerobowamu.

Base bekhamuluka abantu bakwaJuda , nalapho abantwana bakwaJuda bekhamuluka, uNkulunkulu washaya oJerobowamu no -Israyeli wonke phambi kuka-Abiya noJuda.

UJehova wawashaya amaKushe phambi kuka -Asa naphambi kukaJuda ; amaKushe abaleka.

UMoya kaNkulunkulu waba phezu kuka-Azariya indodana ka-Odedi;

Babuthana eJerusalema ngenyanga yesi thathu ngomnyaka weshumi nanhlanu wokubusa kuka-Asa.

Akwabe kusaba khona ukulwa kwaze kwaba semnyakeni wamashumi amathathu nanhlanu wokubusa kuka-Asa.

Ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesithupha wokubusa kuka -Asa, uBahasha, inkosi yakwa -Israyeli, wakhuphuka ukuhlasela uJuda , wakha iRama, ukuze angavumeli muntu ukuphuma nokungena ku -Asa inkosi yakwaJuda.

U-Asa wacunuka ngomboni, wamfaka endlini yezitokisi, ngokuba wamfutha ngenxa yale nto. U-Asa wabadlova nabathile babantu ngaleso sikhathi. Ukugula nokufa kuka-Asa

kepha wafuna uNkulunkulu kayise , wahamba ngemiyalo yakhe , kungengakwenza kuka-Israyeli.

Futhi uJehoshafati wamisa eJerusalema kumaLevi nakubapristi nasezinhlokweni zawoyise bakwa -Israyeli abokwahlulela kuka Jehova nabombango. Sebebuyela eJerusalema,

Ukubhubha kuka -Ahaziya kwavela kuNkulunkulu ekuyeni kwakhe kuJoramu, ngokuba lapho esefikile khona waphuma noJehoramu ukulwa noJehu indodana kaNimishi , amgcobileyo uJehova ukuba anqume indlu ka - Ahabi.

Kwase kumenyezelwa kwaJuda naseJerusalema ukuba balethe kuJehova intela uMose inceku kaNkulunkulu ayibeke phezu kuka-Israyeli ehlane.

UJuda wahlulwa phambi kuka -Israyeli; babaleka, kwaba yilowo nalowo etendeni lakhe.

bathi kubo : Ningabangenisi abathunjwa lapha , ngokuba nicabanga okuyakuba yicala lethu kuJehova ukuba kwenezele ezonweni zethu nasecaleni lethu, ngokuba icala lethu selilikhulu namanje ; ulaka olushisayo luphezu kuka-Israyeli.

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

Baphendulana ngokumdumisa nangokumbonga uJehova , bathi: Ngokuba muhle, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade phezu kuka -Israyeli. Bonke abantu bakhamuluka ngokukhamuluka okukhulu ekumdumiseni kwabo uJehova, ngokuba isisekelo sendlu kaJehova sase sibekiwe.

Ekubuseni kuka -Ahashiveroshi, ekuqaleni kokubusa kwakhe , baloba bamangalela abakhileyo kwaJuda naseJerusalema.

Nazi izinhloko zawoyise , nazi izizukulwane zabakhuphuka nami eBabele ekubuseni kuka-Aritahishashita inkosi:

eyesinkwa sokubukwa kanye nomnikelo wempuphu wemihla yonke nomnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke , neyamasabatha, neyokwethwasa kwenyanga, neyemikhosi emisiweyo , neyezinto ezingcwele , neyeminikelo yezono, ukuba kwenziwe ukubuyisana kuka -Israyeli nomsebenzi wonke wendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu.

Abenzanga kanjalo oyihlo , noNkulunkulu wenu akehl iselanga yini phezu kwenu konke lokho okubi , naphezu kwalo muzi, na? Nokho nina niyenezela intukuthelo phezu kuka-Israyeli ngokulona isabatha.

Akonanga ngalokho uSol omoni inkosi yakwa -Israyeli na ? Phakathi kwezizwe eziningi kwakungekho nkosi enjengaye ; wayethandekile kuNkulunkulu wakhe ; uNkulunkulu wambeka inkosi phezu kuka -Israyeli wonke; nokho abesifazane babezizwe bamonisa naye.

Sengathi ukusindiswa kuka -Israyeli kungavela eSiyoni . Mhla uJehova ebuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabant u bakh e uJakobe uyakwethaba , u-Israyeli ajabule.

Sengathi kungavela u kusindiswa kuka -Israyeli eSiyoni. Kuyakuthi lapho uNkulunkulu eguqula ukuthunjwa kwabantu bakhe , uJakobe ethabe , u- Israyeli ajabule.

UMowabi uyisitsha sami sokuhlambela; phezu kuka -Edomi ngiphonsa isicathulo sami; yethaba ngami, Filistiya.

Nikani uNkulunkulu amandla ; ubukhosi bakhe buphezu kuka -Israyeli; amandla akhe asemafwini.

Mina Mshumayeli ngangiyinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli eJerusalema.

Vusa amandla akho phambi kuka -Efrayimi noBenjamini noManase , uze ukusisindisa.

UMowabi uyisitsha s ami sokuhlambela ; phezu kuka -Edomi ngiphonsa isicathulo sami; phezu kweFilistiya ngiyethaba.

Kepha abaphambukela ezindleleni zabo eziyizinsongensong e uJehova uzakubahambisa kanye nabenza okubi. Ukuthula makube phezu kuka - Israyeli.

Uyakubona abantwana babantwana bakho . Ukuthula makube phezu kuka - Israyeli.

Ukukhanya kuka -Israyeli kuyakuba ngumlilo , oNgcwele wakhe abe yilangabi; kuyakushisa kuqede ameva akh e namakhakhasi akhe ngalusuku lunye.

Ngokuba i nkemba yami izanelisile ngegazi ezulwini ; bheka, iyakwehlela phezu kuka-Edomi naphezu kwabantu besiqalekiso sami ukuba ibahlulele.

Udla umlotha ; inhliziyo ekhohlisiweyo imdukisile ; akanakophula umphefumulo wakhe nokuba athi : Akukho yini amanga kwesokunene sami na? Intokozo ngokuhlengwa kuka-Israyeli

Impela amagquma ayiz e kanye nomsindo wasezintabeni . Ngokwempela ukusindiswa kuka-Israyeli kukuJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.

Ngiyakukubuyisa ukuthunjwa kukaJuda nokuthunjwa kuka -Israyeli, ngibakhe njengakuqala.

Ngalezo zinsuku nangaleso sikhathi , usho uJehova , kuyakufunwa ukona kuka-Israyeli, akuyikubakho, nezono zakwaJuda, kepha aziyikufunyanwa , ngokuba ngiyakubathethelela engibashiya ukuba babe yinsali.

Futhi lala ngohlangothi lwakho lwasokhohlo , ubeke ukona kuka -Israyeli phezu kw alo; ngokomumo wezinsuku zokulala kwakho ngalo uyakuthwala ukona kwabo.

Ngiyakubeka impindiselo yami phezu kuka -Edomi ngesandla sabantu bami u-Israyeli, benze kwa-Edomi njengentukuthelo yami nokufutheka kwami, bazi impindiselo yami, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Ukuzidla kuka -Israyeli kuyafakaza ebusweni bakhe ; o-Israyeli no -Efrayimi bayakukhubeka ngobubi babo; naye uJuda uyakukhubeka kanye nabo.

Niyakwazi ukuthi ngiphakathi kuka -Israyeli nokuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, akakho omunye ; abantu bami abayikujabha kuze kube phakade.

Zonke izoni zabantu bami ziyakufa ngenkemba , zona ezithi : Okubi akuyikusondela kithina, kusehlele. Ukubuyiswa kuka-Israyeli

Yeka ukufunisiswa kuka -Esawu, yeka ukuphenywa kwamagugu akhe afihliweyo!

Ngokuba uJehova uyabuyisa ukuphakama kukaJakob e njengokuphakama kuka-Israyeli, lokhu abathululayo bebathululile, bachitha amagatsha emivini yabo.

Ngalokho kuya ngokukholwa ukuba kube ngokomusa , ukuze isithembiso siqiniseke enzalweni yonke , kungabi kweyomthetho yodwa kodwa nakuleyo engeyokukholwa kuka-Abrahama ongubaba wethu sonke,

kufiphazwe amehlo abo ukuba angaboni, ugobe umhlane wabo njalo. Ngokungakholwa kuka-Israyeli insindiso yafika kwabezizwe

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