Usuphelile lowo mnyaka , beza kuye ngomnyaka wesibili , bathi kuye : Asiyikufihlela inkosi ukuthi imali yethu yonke isiphelile ; imihlambi yezinkomo isingeyenkosi ; akukho okuseleyo emehlweni enkosi ngaphandle kwemizimba yethu namazwe ethu.

Kwase kusondela isikhathi ayesezakufa ngaso u -Israyeli; wayesebiza indodana yakhe uJosefa , wathi kuye : Uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho, ake ubeke isandla sakho phansi kwethanga lami , ungenzele umusa neqiniso: ake ungangimbeli eGibithe.

UJehova wayesethi kuye : Ngubani owenzile umlomo womuntu na ? Ngubani owenza isimungulu , nesithulu, nobonayo, nempumputhe na ? Akusimina, uJehova, na?

Uyakukukhulumela kubantu , abe ngumlomo kuwe , wena ube njengoNkulunkulu kuye.

Wayesehamba uMose , wabuyela kuJetiro umukhwe wakhe , wathi kuye : Ake ngihambe , ngibuyele kubafowethu abaseGibithe , ngize ngibone ukuthi basekhona yini. UJetiro wathi kuMose: Hamba nokuthula.

Kwase kusondela kuye bonke abathelisi nezoni ukumuzwa.

Wothi kuye: U Jehova, uNkulunkulu wamaHeberu, ungithume kuwe, uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe bangikhonze ehlane ; bheka, kuze kube manje awulalelanga.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose: Ngena kuFaro, uthi kuye: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe, bangikhonze.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Vuka ekuseni kusasa , ume phambi kukaFaro; bheka, uyaphuma ukuya emanzini ; thana kuye : U Jehova usho kanje , uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe bangikhonze.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Vuka ekuseni kusasa , ume phambi kukaFaro , uthi kuye: UJehova, uNkulunkulu wamaHeberu, usho kanje, uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe, bangikhonze.

Wayesethi uMose kuye: Nxa sengiphumile emzini , ngizakwelula izandla zami kuJehova ; kuyakunqamuka ukuduma , nesichotho asisayikuba khona , ukuze wazi ukuthi umhlaba ungokaJehova.

OMose no -Aroni bangena -ke kuFaro , bathi kuye : Usho kanje uJehova , uNkulunkulu wamaHeberu , uthi: Koze kube nini wenqaba ukuzithoba phambi kwami na? Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe, bangikhonze.

Kepha izinceku zikaFaro zathi kuye : Lo muntu uzakuba lugibe kuze kube nini na? Bavumele abantu ukuba bahambe bakhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo. Awukwazi ukuthi iGibithe seliyashabalala na?

UFaro wathi kuye : Suka kimi , uqaphele ukuba ungabuboni ubuso bami futhi; ngokuba mhla ubona ubuso bami, uyakufa.

UJoshuwa wenze njalo, njengalokho uMose eshilo kuye, walwa no-Amaleki; oMose, no-Aroni, noHure bakhuphukela esiqongweni sentaba.

Wayesethi kubo uNikodemu owake weza kuye engomunye wabo:

UJesu wathi kuye: Umnewenu uzakuvuka.

Umukhwe kaMose wathi kuye: Lokhu okwenzayo akukuhle.

UMose wakhuphukela kuNkulunkulu; uJehova esentabeni wamemeza kuye , wathi: Yisho kuyo indlu kaJakobe, ubatshele abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi:

Wayesethi uJehova kuye : Hamba wehle, uze ubuye ukhuphuke , wena no- Aroni enawe ; kepha abapristi nabantu mabangafohli , bakhuphukele kuJehova, funa abadumele.

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

Noma iqhubukusha indodana noma iqhubukusha indodakazi, makwenziwe kuye njengaleso sahlulelo.

Kepha uma yebiwe kuye impela, uyakumkhokhela umniniyo.

Uma utsheleka ompofu wabantu bami okuwe imali , awuyikumphatha njengabatshelekisi; ningabizi nzalo kuye.

Uma uthatha ingubo yomakhelwane wakho , ibe yisibambiso , uyakuyibuyisela kuye lingakashoni ilanga;

Uyakwenza ungcwecwe wegolide elicwengekileyo , uqophe kuye njengokuqoshwa kwendandatho ukuthi: Wahlukaniselwe uJehova .

u-Aroni namadodana akhe bawafake , nxa bengena etendeni lokuhlangana , nanxa besondela e -altare ukuyokhonza endaweni engcwele , ukuba bangathwali ububi, bafe; kuyakuba yisimiso kuye nakuyo inzalo yakhe emva kwakhe kuze kube phakade.

Abantu sebebone ukuthi uMose ulibele ukwehla entabeni, abantu babuthana ku-Aroni, bathi kuye : Vuka usenzele onkulunkulu abazakuhamba phambi kwethu, ngokuba uMose lowo , umuntu owasikhuphula ezweni laseGibithe, asazi ukuthi wehlelwe yini.

uMose wayesema esangweni lekamu , wathi: AbakaJehova mabeze kimi . Onke amadodana kaLevi ayesebuthana kuye.

Wathi kuye: Uma ungahambi wena uqobo, ungasikhuphuli lapha.

Bathi u -Aroni nabo bonke abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bembona uMose , bheka, isikhumba sobuso bakhe sasikhazimula, besaba ukusondela kuye.

UMose wayesebabiza; u-Aroni nazo zonke izinduna zenhlangano babuyela - ke kuye; uMose wayesekhuluma kubo.

Ngasemuva bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli basondela, wabayala ngakho konke uJehova akukhulume kuye entabeni yaseSinayi.

Bawamukela kuMos e wonke umnikelo , abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ababewulethele umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu engcwele ukuba wenziwe ngawo. Kepha babesaletha kuye njalo imihla ngemihla ekuseni iminikelo yesihle.

Benza ungcwecwe womqhele ongcwele ngegolide elicwengekileyo, babhala kuye umbhalo njengokuqoshwa kwendandatho wokuthi : Wahlukaniselwe uJehova .

Babophela kuye in tambo eluhlaza ukuba abekwe phezulu esigqokweni , njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose. Izinto zetabernakele* ziyalethwa

UJehova esetendeni lokuhlangana wambiza uMose, wakhuluma kuye, wathi:

khona kuyakuthi , uma onile aze abe necala , uyakukubuyisa lokho okuphangiweyo, noma lokho akudlileyo , noma lokho okwakubekwe kuye , noma lokho okwakulahlekile akutholayo,

Uma inyama yomhlatshelo weminikelo yakhe yokuthula idliwa ngosuku lwesithathu, ayiyikwamukeleka, ingabalelwa kuye owanikela ngayo ; iyakunengeka, nomuntu oyidlayo uyakuthwala ububi bakhe.

Wamfaka ibhantshi , wambhincisa ibhande , wamembathisa ijazi ; wamfaka ingubo yamahlombe, wambhincisa ibhande elifekethisiweyo lengubo yamahlombe, wayibophela kuye ngalo.

Amadodana ka-Aroni aletha igazi kuye ; wagcobhoza umunwe egazini , walibheca ezimpondweni ze -altare, wathulula elinye igazi ngasesinqeni se - altare;

Wawuhlaba umnikelo wokushiswa; amadodana ka-Aroni aletha kuye igazi , wafafaza ngalo i-altare nxazonke.

Anikeza kuye umnikelo wokushiswa izitho ngezitho kanye nenhloko , wakushisa e-altare.

Wahlaba inkunzi nenqama , zibe ngumhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula ongowabantu; amadodana ka-Aroni aletha kuye igazi owafafaza ngalo i-altare nxazonke,

Kepha njalo uma kuvela kuye inyama ebomvu, uyakuba ngongcolile.

Imibhede yonke alala k uyo zonke izinsuku zokucucuza kwakhe iyakuba kuye njengombhede wokungcola kwakhe ; zonke izinto ahlala kuzo ziyakuba ngezingcolile njengokungcola kwefindo lakhe.

ngiyakubeka ubuso bami bumelane nalowo muntu nomndeni wakhe , ngimnqume kubantu bakubo kanye nabo bonke abaya kuye ukuphinga , beyophinga noMoloki.

Uma umuntu elimaza umakhelwane wakhe , njengalokho enzile yena kuyakwenziwa kanjalo kuye,

kube ngukwaphuka ngokwaphuka , neso ngeso , nezinyo ngezinyo ; njengalokho elimazile umuntu, kanjalo kuyakwenziwa kuye.

kepha ngomnyaka wesikhombisa kuyakuba khona isabatha lokuphumula okuzothileyo kwezwe , isabatha kuye uJehova ; awuyikulima insimu ya kho, ungatheni isivini sakho.

makabale iminyaka selokhu kwathengiswa ngalo , abuyisele okudluleleyo kulowo muntu athengisa kuye ngalo, aze abuyele efeni lakhe.

Ungathathi kuye inzalo engafanele nenzuzo , kepha wesabe uNkulunkulu wakho, ukuze umfowenu ahlale nawe.

Uma umfokazi noma ogogobeleyo kuwe eba ngocebileyo , umfowenu abe mpofu kuye , azithengise kumfokazi noma kogogobeleyo kuwe noma kowohlanga lwabomndeni wabafokazi,

Uyakubalisana nalowo owamthengayo , aqale ngomnyaka owazithengisa kuye ngawo , kuze kube ngumnyaka wejubili ; imali yentengiso iyakuba njengenani leminyaka; uyakuba naye njengesikhathi somqashwa.

Uma ongcwelisa insimu ethanda ngempela ukuyihlenga , uyakuthasisela kuyo okwesihlanu kwemali yokulinganisa kwakho, iqiniswe kuye.

Ngomnyaka wejubili insimu iyakubuyela kuye eyathengwa kuye , yebo, kuye olifa lensimu lingelakhe.

Uyakunikela amaLevi ku-Aroni nakumadodana akhe; ayanikelwa ngempela kuye, evela kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

uyakuvuma isono sakhe asenzileyo , alikhokhe icala lakhe ngokupheleleyo , athasisele kukho okwesihlanu, akunike lowo abenecala kuye.

Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: Uma umfazi womuntu eduka, aphambuke kuye,

aphuzise owesifazane amanzi ababayo aveza isiqalekiso ; amanzi aveza isiqalekiso ayakungena kuye, ababe.

Nxa esemphuzisile amanzi , kuyakuthi uma engcolisiwe waphambuka endodeni yakhe , amanzi aveza isiqalekiso angene kuye , ababe, isisu sakhe sivuvukale, ithanga lakhe lishwabane , owesifazane aqa lekiswe phakathi kwabantu bakubo.

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

Nanxa uMose engena etendeni lokuhlangana ukuba akhulume naye , wezwa izwi likhuluma kuye, livela ngaphezu kwesihlalo somusa esisemphongolweni wobufakazi ngaphakathi kwamakherubi omabili; wayesekhuluma kuye.

Yisho ku -Aroni, uthi kuye : Nxa ubeka izibani , izibani eziyisikhombisa mazikhanyise ngaphambi kothi lwezibani.

Lawo madoda at hi kuye : Singcolisiwe yisidumbu somuntu ; sivinjelelwani ukunikela ngomnikelo kaJehova ngesikhathi sawo esinqunyiweyo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli na?

Maye komubi ! Kuyakuba kubi kuye , ngokuba uyakubuyiselwa izenzo zezandla zakhe.

Wathi kuye : Angiyikuhamba; kepha ngiyakusuka , ngiye ezweni lakithi nasezihlotsheni zami.

UJehova wehla ngefu , wakhuluma kuye , wathabatha okomoya ophezu kwakhe, wakubeka kumalunga angamashumi ayisikhombisa ; kwathi umoya esahlezi kuwo, aprofetha, kepha awaze akuphinda.

Wayesethi: Yizwani manje amazwi ami : uma kukhona umprofethi phakathi kwenu, mina Jehova ngiyakuzibonakalisa kuye ngombono, ngikhulume kuye ngephupho.

Bambeka ukuba alindwe, ngokuba kwakungakanqunywa ukuthi kuyakwenziwani kuye.

wakhuluma kuKora nakulo iviyo lakhe , wathi: Kusasa uJehova uyakwazisa ukuthi ngubani ongowakhe nokuthi ngubani ongcwele , amsondeze kuye ; lowo ayakumkhetha uyakumsondeza kuye.

kuyinto encane yini kini ukuthi uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli unahlukanisile nenhlangano ka-Israyeli, wanisondeza kuye ukwenza inkonzo yetabernakele likaJehova nokuma phambi kwenhlangano ukuyikhonza,

ibe yisikhumb uzo kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli, ukuze umfokazi ongesiye owenzalo ka -Aroni angasondeli ukushisa impepho phambi kukaJehova , angabi njengoKora neviyo lakhe , njengalokho uJehova wakhuluma kuye ngesandla sikaMose.

Yilowo nalowo oth inta isidumbu somuntu ofileyo , angaziphothuli, uyangcolisa itabernakele likaJehova; lowo muntu uyakunqunywa ku-Israyeli, ngokuba amanzi okuphothula akafafazwanga ngawo ; uyakuba ngongcolile ; ukungcola kwakhe kuse kuye. Amanzi okuphothula

U-Edomi wathi kuye: Awuyikudabula kimi, funa ngikusukele ngenkemba.

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bathi kuye : Siyakukhuphuka ngomgwaqo; uma siphuza amanzi akho , mina nezinkomo zami , ngiyakukhokhela imali yawo . Mangidabule nje ngezinyawo zami, kungabi ngokunye.

Kanjalo u -Edomi wala ukuba u -Israyeli adabule izwe lakhe ; ngalokho u - Israyeli wachezuka kuye. Ukufa kuka-Aroni

kepha uma ningenakuyiqandela kimi , niyakunginika amayembe angamashumi amathathu nezingubo zokuphendulela ezingamashumi amathathu. Bathi kuye: Yisho imfumbe yakho ukuba siyizwe.

UmkaSamsoni wakhala phambi kwakhe , wathi: Uyangizonda kuphela , awungithandi; unikile abakithi imfumbe, awungitshelanga yona. Wathi kuye: Bheka, angibatshelanga ubaba nomame, ngiyakukutshela wena na?

Abantu bom uzi bathi kuye ngosuku lwesikhombisa , lingakashoni ilanga : Kuyini okumnandi kunezinyosi ? Kuyini okunamandla kunengonyama na ? Wathi kubo: Uma beningalimanga ngesithokazi sami , ngabe ningayiqandelanga imfumbe yami.

UMoya kaJehova wafika kuye ngamandla , wehlela e-Ashikeloni, wabulala abantu abangamashumi amathathu kubo , wathatha isambatho sabo , wabanika abayiqandele imfumbe izingubo zokuphendulela. Intukuthelo yakhe yavutha, wenyukela endlini kayise.

Abantu bakwaJuda bathi : Nisikhuphukeleleni na ? Bathi: Sikhuphukele ukuba simbophe uSamsoni, senze kuye njengalokho enze kithina.

Base bethi kuye : Sehlele ukuba sikubophe , ukuze sikunikele esandleni samaFilisti. USamsoni wathi kubo : Fungani kimi ukuthi nina aniyikungisukela.

Basho kuye , bathi: Qha, kepha siyakukubopha nokukubopha , sikunikele esandleni sawo , kodwa impela asiyikukubulala . Bambopha ngezintambo ezimbili ezintsha, bamkhuphulela edwaleni.

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

Amakhosi amaFilisti enyukela kuye , athi kuye : Myenge, ubone ukuthi amandla akhe amakhulu aphi nokuthi singamahlula ngani ukuba simbophe , simnqobe; siyakukunika, kube yilowo nalowo, izinhlamvu eziyinkulungwane nekhulu zesiliva.

USamsoni wathi kuye : Uma bengibopha ngezinsinga eziyisikhombisa ezimanzi ezingakomi, ngiyakuba buthakathaka, ngibe njengomunye umuntu.

Amakhosi amaFilisti ayeseletha kuye izinsinga eziyisikhombisa ezimanzi ezingakomi, wambopha ngazo.

Wayenabaqamekeli behlezi ekamelweni eliphakathi . Wayesethi kuye : AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho, Samsoni. Wayesegqabula izinsinga njengentambo yefilakisi igqatshulwa , lapho izwa umlilo . Ngalokho amandla akhe awaziwanga.

Wathi kuye : Uma bengibopha ngamagoda amasha okungasetshenziwan ga ngawo, ngiyakuba buthakathaka, ngibe njengomunye umuntu.

UDelila wayesethatha amagoda amasha , wambopha ngawo , wathi kuye : AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho , Samsoni. Abaqamekeli babehlezi ekamelweni eliphakathi. Wawagqabula ezingalweni zakhe njengomucwana.

UDelila wayesethi kuSamsoni: Kuze kube manje udlale ngami , wangitshela amanga; ngitshele ukuthi ungaboshwa ngani . Wathi kuye: Uma weluka amagoda ayisikhombisa ekhanda lami nezintambo zakho zokwelukwa.

Wawabethela-ke ngesikhonkwane, wathi kuye: AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho, Samsoni. Wavuka ebuthongweni , wasincothula isikhonkwane sokweluka nezintambo zokwelukwa.

Wayesethi kuye: Ungasho kanjani ukuthi uyangithanda, nxa inhliziyo yakho ingenami na ? Usudlale ngami kathathu , awungitshelanga ukuthi amandla akho aphi.

Wamtshela inhliziyo yakhe yonke , wathi kuye : Akuthintanga mpuco ekhanda lami , ngokuba bengingumNaziri kaNkulunkulu kwasesizalweni sikamame; uma ngiphuculwa , amandla ami ayakumuka kimi , ngiyakuba buthakathaka, ngibe njengomunye umuntu.

UDelila wabona ukuthi wayemtshelile yonke inhliziyo yakhe ; wathuma wawabiza amakhosi amaFilisti , wathi: Yenyukani kalokhu , ngokuba ungitshelile yonke inhliziyo yakhe . Ayesenyukela kuye amakhosi amaFilisti , aletha imali esandleni sawo.

Wamlalisa ubuthongo emathangeni akhe , wabiza umuntu , waphucula amagoda ayisikhombisa ekhanda lakhe ; waqala ukumhlupha, amandla akhe amuka kuye.

Wathi: AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho, Samsoni. Wavuka ebuthongweni, wathi: Ngiyakuphuma njengangezinye izikhathi , ngizithintithe. Kepha wayengazi ukuthi uJehova wayemukile kuye.

UMika wathi kuye : Uvelaphi na? Wathi kuye: NgingumLevi waseBetlehema Juda; ngiyahamba ukubona lapho ngingathola khona indawo.

UMika wayesethi kuye : Hlala kimi , ube ngubaba nompristi wami , ngiyakukunika izinhlamvu eziyishumi zesiliva ngomnyaka , nesambatho, nokudla kwakho. UmLevi wangena.

UmLevi wavuma ukuhlala kulowo muntu ; nensizwa yaba kuye njengendodana yakhe.

Lapha besengasendlini kaMika , balazi izwi lensizwa engumLevi , baphambukela khona, bathi kuye : Walethwa ngubani lapha ? Wenzani kule ndawo? Ufunani lapha?

Base bethi kuye : Ake umbuze uNkulunkulu ukuze sazi uma indlela y ethu esiyihambayo iyakuba nempumelelo.

Bathi kuye: Thula, ubeke isandla sakho emlonyeni wakho , uhambe nathi, ube ngubaba nompristi wethu ; kuhle yini ukuba ube ngumpristi wendlu yomuntu munye kunokuba ube ngumpristi wesizwe nomndeni kwa -Israyeli na?

Abantwana bakwaDani base beth i kuye : Izwi lakho malingezwakali phakathi kwethu , funa abantu bathukuthele , banehlele, ulahlekelwe ngukuphila kwakho kanye nabendlu yakho.

Isancinza sakhe samgilela ubufebe , sasuka kuye , saya endlini kayise eBetlehema Juda, sahlala khona isikhathi esiyizinyanga ezine.

Umukhwe wakhe, uyise wentombi, wambambezela, wahlala kuye izinsuku ezintathu; badla, baphuza, bahlala khona.

Lapho umuntu esesukuma ukuba ahambe , yena nesancinza sakhe nenceku yakhe, umukhwe wakhe , uyise wentombi, wathi kuye : Bheka, ilanga seliyathambama, sekuzakuhlwa; ake uhlale ubusuku bonke ; yebo, ilanga seliyakuphela; hlala lapha ukuba inhliziyo yakho ithokoze , nivuke kusasa ekuseni kakhulu, nihambe indlela yenu ukuba ufike etendeni lakho.

Yathi kuye : Vuka sihambe , kepha akuphendulanga muntu . Yayisimbeka embongolweni yayo; wasuka lowo muntu, waya endaweni yakhe.

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhuphuka, bakhala phambi kukaNkulunkulu kwaze kwahlwa ; babuza kuJehova , bathi: Siyakuphinda sisondele ukulwa nabantwana bakwaBenjamini umfowethu na ? UJehova wathi : Yenyukelani kuye.

Kweza malungana neGibeya abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi abakhethiweyo kuye wonke u-Israyeli; ukulwa kwakunzima, kepha babengazi ukuthi ingozi isifikile kubo.

Bathi kuye: Hhayi! Kepha sobuyela nawe kubantu bakini!

Badazuluka, baphinda bakhala; u-Orpa wamanga uninazala , kepha uRuthe wanamathela kuye.

Esebonile ukuthi uzimisele ukuhamba naye, wayeka ukukhuluma kuye.

URuthe wakwaMowabi wathi kuNawomi : Mangihambe, ngiye ensimini , ngikhothoze ezikhwetshini emva kwalowo engiyakufumana umusa emehlweni akhe. Wathi kuye: Hamba, ndodakazi yami.

Bheka, uBowazi wafika evela eBetlehema , wathi kwabavunayo : UJehova makabe nani. Bathi kuye: UJehova makakubusise.

Wayesewa ngobuso bakhe , wakhothamela emhlabathini , wathi kuye : Ngifumaneleni umusa emehlweni akho ukuba unginake , lokhu ngingowezizwe, na?

UBowazi waphendula, wathi kuye: Kubikiwe kimi konke omenzele khona unyokozala selokhu afa umyeni wakho nokuthi ushiyile uyihlo nonyoko nezwe lokuzalwa kwakho, weza kubantu ongabazanga ngaphambili.

Ngesikhathi sokudla uBowazi wathi kuye : Woza lapha , udle isinkwa , ugcobhoze ucezu lwa kho kuviniga . Wahlala eceleni kwabavuni , wamnika utshwele, wadla wasutha, washiya phansi.

Uninazala wathi kuye : Ukhothozephi namuhla na ? Usebenzephi? Makabusiswe lowo okunakileyo . Wamtshela uninazala ukuthi ubesebenza kubani, wathi: Igama lomuntu engisebenzile kuye namuhla linguBowazi.

UNawomi wathi kumalokazana wakhe : Makabusiswe nguJehova ongayekanga umusa wakhe kwabaphilileyo nakwabafileyo . UNawomi wathi kuye: Lowo muntu uyisihlobo sethu, ungowabahlengi bethu.

UNawomi uninazala wathi kuye : Ndodakazi yami , angiyikukufunela ukuphumula ukuba kube kuhle kuwe na?

Wathi kuye: Konke okushoyo ngiyakukwenza.

UBowazi wenyukela esangweni , wahlala phansi khona ; bheka, umhlengi akhuluma ngaye uBowazi , wadlula; wathi kuye : We wena sibanibani , phambuka, uhlale lapha. Waphambuka, wahlala phansi.

Wayesethi kuye umhlengi : UNawomi obuyile ezweni lakwaMowabi uyathengisa ngesiqephu sezwe esasingesika-Elimeleki;

UBowazi wayesemthatha uRuthe , waba ngumkakhe ; wangena kuye ; uJehova wamnika ukuba akhulelwe; wazala indodana.

Wayesethi u -Elkana umyeni wakhe kuye : Hana, ukhalelani na ? Awudli ngani? Inhliziyo yakho idabukeleni na ? Angidluli yini amadodana ayishumi kuwe na?

U-Eli wathi kuye : Uyakudakwa kuze kube nini na ? Susa iwayini lakho kuwe.

Wayesephendula u -Eli ethi : Hamba ngokuthula ; uNkulunkulu wakwa - Israyeli makakunike okucelileyo kuye.

Wayesethi u -Elkana umyeni wakhe kuye : Yenza okuhle emehlweni akho ; hlala uze umlumule ; uJehova makaqinise izwi lakhe kuphela . Owesifazane wayesehlala, wancelisa indodana yakhe waze wayilumula.

Ngamkhulekela lo mntwana; uJehova unginikile lokho engakucela kuye;

Uma lowo muntu wathi kuye : Bayakushisa nokushisa amanoni kuqala , besewuthatha njengokuthanda kwakho , yathi: Hhayi, woyiletha manje; uma ungayilethi, ngiyakuyithatha ngamandla.

Futhi unina wamenzela ijazana , waliyisa kuye iminyaka ngeminyaka esenyuka nomyeni wakhe ukuyonikela ngomhlatshelo weminyaka yonke.

Kwafika umuntu kaNkulunkulu ku -Eli, wathi kuye : UJehova usho kanje , uthi: Angithi ngazibonakalisa kuyo indlu kayih lo, beseseGibithe besendlini kaFaro.

Kepha uSamuweli wayengakamazi uJehova , nezwi likaJehova lalingakambulelwa kuye.

Izwi likaSamuweli lafika kuye won ke u -Israyeli. U-Israyeli waphuma ukulwa namaFilisti, wamisa ngase-Ebeni Ezeri; amaFilisti amisa e-Afeki.

Ngesikhathi sokufa kwakhe abesifazane ababemi kuye bathi kuye : Ungesabi, ngokuba ubelethe indodana . Kepha akaphendulanga , akakunakanga.

Bathi: Uma nimukisa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ningawumukisi ze, kepha anobuyisela nokubuyisela kuye umnikelo wecala ; khona niyakuphiliswa, kwazeke kini ukuthi isandla sakhe asisuswa ngani kini.

Athi: Uyakuba yini umnikelo wecala esiyakuwubuyisela kuye na ? Bathi: Amathumba ayisihlanu egolide namagundane ayisihlan u egolide njengomumo wamakhosi amaFilisti , ngokuba kuyisifo sinye esikubo bonke nakuwo amakhosi enu.

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

athi kuye: Bheka, usumdala, amadodana akho awahambi ngezindlela zakho; sibekele inkosi ukuba isahlulele njengezizwe zonke.

USamuweli wabatshela abantu abacela kuye inkosi onke amazwi kaJehova.

Yathi kuye : Bheka, kukhona kulo muzi umuntu kaNkulunkulu , umuntu ohloniphekayo; konke akushoyo kuyakwenzeka impela ; masiye khona , mhlawumbe angasitshela indlela esihamba ngayo.

USamuweli esembonile uSawule , uJehova wa thi kuye : Nangu umuntu engakhuluma ngaye kuwe, ngathi: Lo uyakubusa abantu bami.

Uyisekazi kaSawule wathi kuye nasencekwini yakhe: Nike naya ngaphi na? Wathi: Besiye kufuna izimbongolo ; lapho sesibonile ukuthi azikho , sase siya kuSamuweli.

UNahashi wakwa -Amoni wathi kubo : Ngiyakusenza nani ngalokhu ukuba kukhishwe onke amehlo enu okunene, ngikubeke kube yihlazo kuye wonke u- Israyeli.

Amalunga aseJabeshi athi kuye : Siyeke izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ukuba sithume izithunywa emikhawulweni yonke yakwa -Israyeli; uma kungekho osisindisayo, siyakuphumela kuwe.

USamuweli wathi kuye wonke u-Israyeli: Bhekani, ngilalele izwi lenu kukho konke enikushiloyo kimi, ngibekile inkosi phezu kwenu.

Wahlala izinsuku eziyisikhombis a njengesikhathi esimisiwe nguSamuweli , kepha uSamuweli akafikanga eGiligali; abantu bahlakazeka kuye.

Ophethe izikhali zakhe wathi kuye : Yenza konke okusenhliziyweni yakho : hamba, bheka, nginawe njengenhliziyo yakho.

Wayesethi uJonathani kuye : Bheka, siyakuwela, siye kulabo bantu , sizibonakalise kubo.

USamuweli wafika kuSawule ; uSawule wathi kuye : Mawubusiswe nguJehova; sengifezile izwi likaJehova.

USamuweli wayesethi kuSawule : Kahle, ngikutshele lokho uJehova akukhulumile kimi kulobu busuku. Wathi kuye: Khuluma.

USamuweli wathi kuye : UJehova uklebhul ile umbuso ka -Israyeli kuwe namuhla, uwunikile umngane wakho omuhle kunawe.

USamuweli wayesethi: Lethani kimi u-Agagi inkosi yama-Amaleki. U-Agagi wafika kuye esasile. U-Agagi wathi: Impela umunyu wokufa udlulile.

Izinceku zikaSawule zathi kuye : Bheka-ke, umoya omubi ov ela kuNkulunkulu ukuzumile.

Kwathi nxa umoya owavela kuNkulunkulu emehlela uSawule, uDavide wathatha ihabhu , walibetha ngesandla sakhe ; wayesekhululeka uSawule , waba ngcono, umoya omubi wamuka kuye.

USawule wathi kuye : Uyindodana kabani wena mfana na ? UDavide waphendula wathi: Ngiyindodana yenceku yakho uJese waseBetlehema.

Ngalokho uSawule wamsusa kuye , wambeka abe yinduna yakhe yenkulungwane; wayephuma engena phambi kwabantu.

Wayesethi uSawule : Ngiyakumnika yena ukuba abe lugibe kuye , isandla samaFilisti sibe phezu kwakhe . Ngalokho uSawule wathi kuDavide: Uyakuba ngumkhwenyana wami ngokwesibili namuhla.

UJonathani wakhuluma okuhle ngoDavide kuSawule uyise , wathi kuye : Inkosi mayingayoni inceku yayo uDavide, ngokuba akakonanga, nemisebenzi yakhe kuwe ilungile kakhulu;

Wayesebaleka uDavide, waphunyuka, waya kuSamuweli eRama, wamtshela konke uSawule abekwenzile kuye. Yena noSamuweli baya bahlala eNayoti.

Wathi kuye : Makube kude lokho ; awuyikufa; bheka, ubaba akenzi lutho olukhulu noma oluncane engakwambuleli kimi; pho, ubaba ubeyakungifihlela le nto na? Akuyikuba njalo.

UJonathani wayesethi kuye : Kusasa iyakwe thwasa inyanga ; uyakuficwa ungekho, ngokuba isihlalo sakho siyakuba ze.

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?

UJonathani wamphendula uSawule uyise , wathi kuye: Uyakubulalelwani? Wenzeni na?

UJonathani wanika umfana wakhe izikhali zakhe , wathi kuye : Hamba, uziyise emzini.

Izinceku zika -Akhishi zathi kuye : Lo akasiye uDavide , inkosi yezwe , na? Abavumelananga yini ngaye omunye nomunye , besina bethi : USawule ubulele izinkulungwane zakhe , kepha uDavide izinkulungwane zakhe eziyishumi, na?

UDavide wayesesuka khona , wabaleka, waya emhumeni wase -Adulamu; lapho abafowabo nabo bonke abendlu kayise bekuzwa, behlela khona kuye.

Kwabuthana kuye bonke abanosizi, nabo bonke abanesikwenetu, nabo bonke abanenhliziyo enomunyu , waba yinduna phezu kwabo ; kwakukhona naye kungathi abantu abangamakhulu amane.

Wabaletha phambi kwenkosi yakwaMowabi, bahlala kuye zonke izinsuku uDavide esenqabeni.

USawule wathi kuye : Ningenzeleleni ugobe , wena nendodana kaJese , ngokuyinika isinkwa nenkemba , uyibuzele kuNkulunkulu ukuba ingivukele , ingiqamekele njenganamuhla, na?

Abantu bakaDavide bathi kuye : Bheka, siyesaba lapha kwaJuda ; kakhulu kangakanani, uma siya eKeyila, silwe nezimpi zamaFilisti na?

Wathi kuye : Ungesabi, ngokuba isandla sikaSawul e ubaba asiyikukufumana; wena uyakuba yinkosi phezu kuka -Israyeli, mina ngikwelame; noSawule ubaba uyakwazi lokho.

Kwathi uSawule esebuyile ekuxosheni amaFilisti , kwabikwa kuye ukuthi : Bheka, uDavide usehlane lase-Eni Gedi.

USawule wayesethatha abantu abayizinkulungwane ezintathu abakhethiweyo kuye wonke u-Israyeli, wahamba ukumfuna uDavide nabantu bakhe emaDwaleni amaGogo.

Abantu bakaDavide bathi kuye : Bheka, nantu usuku uJehova asho ngalo kuwe ukuthi: Bheka, ngiyakunikela isitha sakho esandleni sakho, wenze kuso okuhle emehlweni akho . Wayesesuka uDavide , wasika ngasese umphetho wengubo kaSawule.

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

Kwathi esakhwele imbongolo, esehla endaweni esithekileyo yentaba, bheka, kwehlela kuye uDavide nabantu bakhe, wahlangana nabo.

UDavide wayesamukela esandleni sakhe lokho amlethele khona ; wathi kuye: Khuphukela endlini yakho ngokuthula ; bheka, ngililalele izwi lakho , ngibuvumile ubuso bakho.

Izinceku zikaDavide sezifikile ku -Abigayili eKarmeli , zakhuluma kuye , zathi: UDavide usithumile kuwe ukuba akuthathe, ube ngumkakhe.

Wayesethi uSawule kuzo izinceku zakhe : Ngifuneleni owesifazane onedlozi ukuba ngiye kuye, ngibuze kuye. Izinceku zakhe zathi kuye: Bheka, kukhona owesifazane onedlozi e-Eni Dori.

Owesifazane wathi kuye : Bheka, uyazi ukuthi uSawule wenzeni , ukuba unqumile ezweni abanamadlozi pha kathi kwabo nabathakathi ; ngalokho ungibekelelani ugibe ukuba ungibulale na?

USawule wafunga uJehova kuye owesifazane , wathi: Kuphila kukaJehova, awuyikwehlelwa cala ngalokho.

Inkosi yayisithi kuye: Ungesabi; ubonani na? Owesifazane wathi kuSawule: Ngibona unkulunkulu ephuma emhlabathini.

Wathi kuye : Unesimo sini na ? Wathi: Kukhuphuka ixhegu limboziwe ngengubo. USawule wabona ukuthi kunguSamuweli , wakhothamela phansi ngobuso, wakhuleka.

USawule wayesewela phan si ngekhanda, wesaba kakhulu ngenxa yamazwi kaSamuweli, akwabakho mandla kuye , ngokuba akadlanga lutho ngosuku lonke nobusuku bonke.

Owesifazane wafika kuSawule , wabona ukuthi wesaba kakhulu , wathi kuye: Bheka, incekukazi yakho ililalele izwi lakho, ngibekile ukuphila kwami esandleni sami; ngalalela amazwi akho owawakhuluma kimi.

Zase zithi izikhulu zamaFilisti : Ayini lawa maHeberu na ? U-Akhishi wathi kuzo izikhulu zamaFilisti : Akusiye uDavide inceku kaSawule inkosi yakw a- Israyeli okade enami kulezi zinsuku nakule minyaka na ? Angifumananga lutho kuye selokhu ahlubuka weza kimi kuze kube namuhla.

Kepha izikhulu zamaFilisti zamthukuthelela; izikhulu zamaFilisti zathi kuye: Buyisa lowo muntu ukuba abuyele endaweni yakhe om mise kuyo, angehleli nathi empini, funa abe yisitha sethu empini , ngokuba lona ubeyakuyigculisa ngani inkosi yakhe kungengamakhanda alawo madoda na?

U-Akhishi wambiza uDavide , wathi kuye : Kuphila kukaJehova , wena uqotho; ukuphuma kwakho nokungena kwakho nami empini kuhle emehlweni ami , ngokuba angifumananaga bubi kuwe kusukela osukwini lokufika kwakho kimi kuze kube namuhla ; nokho emehlweni amakhosi awumuhle.

bamnika nocezu lwesigaxa samakhiwane , nezigaxa ezimbili zezithelo zomvini ezomileyo ; esedlile kwabuyela kuye umoya wakhe , ngokuba wayengadlanga sinkwa , engaphuzanga manzi , izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu.

UDavide wathi kuye : Ungokabani na ? Uvelaphi na ? Wathi: Ngiyinsizwa yaseGibithe, inceku yomAmaleki , kepha inkosi yami yangishiya , ngokuba sekuyizinsuku ezintathu ngigula.

UDavide wathi kuye : Ungangehlisela kulelo viyo na ? Wathi: Funga kimi uNkulunkulu ukuthi awuyikungibulala , unganginikeli ezandleni zenkosi yami, ngiyakukwehlisela kulelo viyo.

Wathi kimi: Wena ungubani na? Ngathi kuye: NgingumAmaleki.

Inkosi yayisithi kuShimeyi: Awuyikufa. Inkosi yafunga kuye. Ukuziphendulela kukaMefibosheti

UDavide wathi kuye : Uvelaphi na? Wathi kuye: Ngibalekile ekamu lakwa - Israyeli.

UDavide wayesethi kuye : Bekunjani na ? Ake ungitshele . Wathi: Abantu babalekile empini , nabantu abani ngi bawile , bafa; oSawule noJonathani indodana yakhe bafile nabo.

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

Kwathi emva kwalokho uDavide wabuza kuJehova, wathi: Ngenyukele yini komunye wemizi yakwaJuda na ? UJehova wathi kuye : Yenyuka. Wathi uDavide: Ngenyukelephi na? Wathi: EHebroni.

U-Abineri wayesethi kuye : Chezukela ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo, ubambe enye yezinsizwa, uthathe izikhali zakhe. Kepha u- Asaheli akavumanga ukuchezuka ekumlandeleni.

UNkulunkulu makenze njalo ku -Abineri, enezele futhi , uma ngingenzi kuDavide njengalokho uJehova efungile kuye,

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

Kwakukhona endlini kaSawule inceku egama layo linguSiba ; bambizela kuDavide; inkosi yathi kuye: UnguSiba na? Wathi: Inceku yakho inguye.

Yathi inkosi kuye: Iphi na? USiba wathi enkosini: Bheka, isendlini kaMakiri indodana ka-Amiyeli eLo Debari.

UDavide wayesethi kuye : Ungesabi, ngokuba impela ngiyakukwenzela umusa ngenxa kaJonathani uyihlo , ngikubuyisele lonke izwe likayihlo uSawule, udle njalo etafuleni lami.

Inkosi yayisimbiza uSiba inceku kaSawule , yathi kuye: Konke okukaSawule nokwendlu yakhe yonke ngikunike indodana yenkosi yakho.

UDavide wathuma izithunywa , wamthatha; wangena kuye , walala naye , ngokuba wayesehlambulukile yena ekungcoleni kwakhe; wabuyela ekhaya.

Esefikile kuye u -Uriya, uDavide wabuza kuye impilo yakhe , nempilo yabantu, nokuthi impi ihamba kanjani.

Waloba encwadini ukuthi : Misani u -Uriya ngaphambili, lapho impi ishisa khona, nihlehle kuye ukuba ashaywe, afe.

UJehova wayesethuma uNathani kuDavide . Wafika kuye , wathi kuye : Kwakukhona amadoda amabili emzini munye, enye icebile, enye impofu.

Amalunga endlu yakhe asuka aya kuye ukumvusa emhlabathini , kepha akavumanga, futhi kadlanga kudla nawo.

Isikhonzi somuntu kaNkulunkulu sesivukile ekuseni , saphuma, bheka, impi enamahhashi nezinqola yayiwukakile umuzi . Yayisithi inceku kuye: Maye, nkosi! Sesiyakwenze njani?

Sebehlela kuye , u-Elisha wakhuleka kuJehova , wathi: Mawushaye lesi sizwe ngobumpumputhe. Wasishaya ngobumpumputhe njengezwi lika-Elisha.

Yayisithi inkosi kuye : Unani na? Wathi: Lo wesifazane wathi kimi : Letha indodana yakho ukuba siyidle namuhla, sidle indodana yami kusasa.

Sase siyipheka indodana yami , sayidla; ngase ngithi kuye ngosuku olulandelayo: Letha indodana yakho ukuba siyidle ; wayeseyifihlile indodana yakhe.

Yayisithuma umuntu phambi kwayo, u-Elisha esahlezi endlini yakhe , namalunga ehlezi naye ; kepha, singakafiki kuye isithunywa , wathi emalungeni: Niyabona yini ukuthi le ndodana yombulali ithumele ukunquma ikhanda lami na ? Bhekani, ekufikeni kwesithunywa manivale isivalo , nisibuyisele emuva isithunywa ngesivalo ; angithi izigqi zezinyawo zenkosi yaso zisemva kwaso na?

Esakhuluma nawo , bheka, inkosi yehlela kuye ; yathi: Bheka, lobu bubi buvela kuJehova; ngisamhlalelelani uJehova na?

Inkosi yabeka esangweni induna eyencika esandleni sayo ; abantu bayinyathela esangweni , yafa njengokusho kwalowo muntu kaNkulunkulu akukhuluma ekwehleleni kwenkosi kuye.

U-Elisha wathi kuye : Hamba, uthi kuye : U yakusinda nokusinda , kodwa uJehova ungibonisile ukuthi ngempela uyakufa nokufa.

Wayesesuka ku-Elisha, weza enkosini yakhe ; yathi kuye: Utheni kuwe na ? Wathi: Uthe kimi uyakusinda nokusinda.

Kepha uJehova akathandanga ukuchitha uJuda ngenxa kaDavide inceku yakhe njengokusho kwakhe kuye ukuthi uyakumnika yena nabantwana bakhe isibani izinsuku zonke.

Yasukuma, yangena endlini; yathela amafutha ekhanda lakhe , yathi kuye: Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Ngikugcobile ube yinkosi yabantu bakaJehova kwa-Israyeli.

UJehu waphumela ezincekwini zenkosi yakhe ; enye yathi kuye : Konke kusalungile na? Luzeleni lolo hlanya kuwe na ? Wathi kuzo: Nina niyamazi lowo muntu nakukhulumileyo.

Waphakamisela ubuso bakhe ngasefasiteleni , wathi: Ubani onami na ? Ngubani? Kwase kulunguza kuye izinduna ezimbili noma ezintathu.

Baya ukummbela , kepha abafumananga lutho kuye , kuphela inhloko , nezinyawo, nezintende zezandla.

Kwathi incwadi isifikile kubo , bawathatha amadodana enkosi , bawabulala, abantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa, babeka amakhanda awo emaqomeni, bawathuma kuye eJizreyeli.

Esesukile khona wafumana uJehonadaba indodana kaRekabi eza ukumhlangabeza; wambingelela, wathi kuye : Inhliziyo yakho ilungelene nenhliziyo yami njengeyami ilungelene neyakho na ? Wathi uJehonadaba: Yebo. Wathi uJehu: Uma kunjalo , nginike isandla sakho . Wamnika isandla sakhe, wamkhwelisa enqoleni yakhe.

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

U-Elisha esegula ngesifo afa ngaso, uJowashi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli wehlela kuye, wamkhalela wathi: Baba, Baba, nqola ka-Israyeli nabamahhashi bakhe!

U-Elisha wathi kuye : Thatha umnsalo nemicibisholo . Wathatha-ke umnnsalo nemicibisholo.

Kwenyuka ukulwa naye uShalimaneseri inkosi yase -Asiriya; uHosheya waba yisikhonzi sakhe, wathela intela kuye.

Bathi kuye : Usho kanje uHezekiya , uthi: Lolo suku lungusuku losizi nolokusolwa nolokudelelwa , ngokuba abantwana sebefikile ekuzalweni , kepha amandla okubeletha awakho.

Ngalezo zinsuku uHezekiya wagula, wayephansi kokufa . Kwafika kuye u - Isaya umprofethi, indodana ka-Amose, wathi kuye: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Yalela indlu yakho, ngokuba uyakufa, awuyikusinda.

Kwathi u -Isaya engakaphumi emzini ongaphakathi , izwi likaJehova lafika kuye, lathi:

Wayesefika u -Isaya umprofethi enkosini uHezekiya , wathi kuye : Batheni labo bantu ; beze kuwe bevelaphi na ? Wathi uHezekiya: Bavela ezweni elikude eBabele.

Base behamba uHilikiya umpristi , no-Ahikamu, no-Akibori, noShafani, no- Asaya, baya kuHulida umprofethikazi , umkaShalumi, indodana kaThikiva kaHarihasi, umgcinizingubo -- wahlala eJ erusalema enxenyeni yesibili -- bakhuluma kuye.

UJehova wathuma kuye amaviyo amaKaledi , namaviyo ama-Aramu, namaviyo abakwaMowabi, namaviyo abantwana bakwa -Amoni, wawathuma kuJuda ukumchitha njengezwi likaJehova alikhulumayo ngesandla sezinceku zakhe abaprofethi.

wakhuluma kahle kuye, wabeka isihlalo sakhe phezu kwezihlalo zamakhosi ayenaye eBabele.

Noma uJuda ebenamandla kunabafowabo, kwavela kuye umbusi, ubuzibulo nokho babungobukaJosefa.

Wafa kanjalo -ke uSawule ngesiphambeko sakhe aphambuka ngaso kuJehova ngenxa yezwi likaJehova angaligcinanga nangokuba kade eyile ukubhula konedlozi ukuba abuze kuye,

Yilaba abayizinhloko zamaqhawe uDavide ayenazo , zibambelela kuye ngamandla ebukhosini bakhe kanye naye wonke u-Israyeli ukumbeka inkosi njengezwi likaJehova ngo-Israyeli.

Wabulala nowaseGibithe, umuntu omude, eyizingalo eziyisihlanu; esandleni sowaseGibithe kwakukhona umkhonto onjengogongolo lomaluki ; wehlela kuye ephethe i nduku nje, wawuhlwitha umkhonto esandleni sowaseGibithe , wambulala ngomkhonto wakhe.

Nazi izibalo zezinhloko zababehlomele ukulwa abeza kuDavide eHebroni ukuba baguqulele umbuso kaSawule kuye njengezwi likaJehova.

UDavide akawuyisanga umphongolo kuye emzini kaDavide , kepha wawubuyisela eceleni endlini ka-Obede Edomi umGiti.

uDavide wabuza kuNkulunkulu , wathi: Ngenyukele ukuhlasela amaFilisti na? Uyakuwanikela esandleni sami na ? UJehova wathi kuye : Yenyuka, ngokuba ngiyakuwanikela esandleni sakho.

UDavide waphinda wabuza kuNkulunkulu ; uNkulunkulu wathi kuye : Ungenyuki emva kwawo; wagwegwesele, uwafikele malungana namajikijolo.

Hlabelelani kuye, nimhubele, nikhulume ngezimangaliso zakhe zonke.

UGadi wayesefika kuDavide, wathi kuye: UJehova usho kanje, uthi:

Ngokuba uma bewa , omunye uyavusa umngane wakhe ; kepha maye kuye oyedwa lapho ewa, engenawesibili wokumvusa!

usho kuye ukuthi : Xwaya, uthule; ungesabi, nenhliziyo yakho mayingadangali ngemisila emibili yalezi zikhuni ezithunqayo , ngokuvutha kolaka lukaResini ne-Aramu nolwendodana kaRemaliya.

USolomoni wakhuluma kuye wonke u -Israyeli, nakuzo izinduna zezinkulungwane nezamakhulu, nakubahluleli, nakuzo zonke izikhulu kwa - Israyeli wonke, izinhloko zawoyise.

Ngalobo busuku uNkulunkulu wabonakala kuSolomoni , wathi kuye : Cela lokhu othanda ukuba ngikunike khona.

USolomoni wathume la kuHiramu in kosi yaseTire , wathi: Njengalokho wakwenza kuDavide ubaba , wathuma kuye imisedari , azakhele ngayo indlu ukuba ahlale kuyo, yenze njalo nakimi.

UJehova wabonakala kuSolomoni , wathi kuye : Ngiwuzwile umkhuleko wakho, ngizikhethele le ndawo ukuba ibe yindlu yomhlatshelo.

UHiramu wathuma kuye ngezandla zezinceku zakhe imikhumnbi nezinceku ezazilwazi ulwandle ; zafika nezinceku zikaSolomoni e -Ofiri, zalanda khona amatalenta angamakhulu amane namashumi ayisihlanu egolide , zawayisa enkosini uSolomoni.

Akhuluma kuye , athi: Uma uzakuba muhl e kulaba bantu , ubathokozise, ukhulume amazwi amahle kubo, bayakuba yizinceku zakho izinsuku zonke.

Zase zikhuluma kuye izinsizwa eziyintanga yakhe , zithi: Uyakusho kanje kubantu abakhulume kuwe ngokuthi : U yihlo walenza ijoka lethu lasinda , kepha wena ulenze libe lula kithina , uyakusho kubo kanje ukuthi: Ucikicane wami mkhulu kunokhalo lukababa.

Kepha lapho esezithoba , intukuthelo kaJehova yabuya kuye ukuba angamchithi ngokupheleleyo, futhi kwakusekhona nokuhle kwaJuda.

Kwabuthana kuye amayiyane , abantu ababi , aziqinisa ukulwa noRehobowamu indodana kaSolomoni , uRehobowamu esemusha, inhliziyo isathambile, engenakumelana nawo.

waphuma ukuhlangabeza u-Asa, wathi kuye: Ngizweni, Asa, noJuda wonke, noBenjamini, uJehova unani , uma ninaye ; uma nimfuna , uyakufunyanwa yinina; kepha uma nimshiya, uyakunishiya nani.

Wabutha wonke uJuda noBenjamini nabagogobele kubo bevela kwa - Efrayimi, nakwaManase, nakwaSimeyoni, ngokuba abaningi bahlubukela kuye bevela kwa-Israyeli, lapho bebona ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe unaye.

Ngaleso sikhathi kwe za uHanani, umboni ka-Asa, inkosi yakwaJuda, wathi kuye: Ngokuba wencike enkosini yase -Aramu, ungencikanga kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho , ngalokho impi yenkosi yase -Aramu iphunyukile esandleni sakho.

Ngokuba amehlo kaJehova aqalaza emhlabeni wonke ukuba abe namandla kwabanhliziyo yabo iphelele kuye ; wenze ngobuwula kule nto , ngokuba kusukela manje uyakuba nokulwa njalo.

AmaFilisti athile aletha izipho kuJehoshafati , nesiliva lentela ; nabase- Arabiya baletha kuye imihlambi , izinqama eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu ayisikhombisa nezimpongo eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu ayisikhombisa.

U-Ahabi inkosi yakwa -Israyeli wathi kuJehoshafati inkosi yakwaJuda : Uyakuhamba nami , siye eRamoti Gileyadi , na? Wathi kuye: Mina nginjengawe, abantu bami banjengabantu bakho; siyakuba nawe empini.

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

Isithunywa ebesihambile ukumbiza uMikhaya sakhuluma kuye, sathi: Bheka, amazwi abaprofethi mahle enkosini ngamlomo munye ; ngalokho izwi lakho malibe njengelinye labo, ukhulume okuhle.

Esefikile enkosi ni, inkosi yathi kuye : Mikhaya, sihambe silwe neRamoti Gileyadi, noma ngiliyeke na ? Wathi: Khuphukani, nibe nempumelelo ; bayakunikelwa esandleni senu.

Yayisithi kuye inkosi : Ngiyakukufungisa izikhathi ezingaki ukuba ungakhulumi lutho kimi ngaphandle kweqiniso egameni likaJehova na?

Kwavela umoya, wema phambi kukaJehova , wathi: Mina ngiyakumyenga. UJehova wathi kuye: Ngantoni na?

Kwathi lapho izinduna zezinqola sezibonile uJehoshafati , zathi: Yena uyinkosi yakwa -Israyeli; zase ziphenduka ukuba zilwe nayo , kepha uJehoshafati wamemeza, uJehova wamsiza; uNkulunkulu wazimukisa kuye.

Kwafika kuye incwadi iphuma ku -Eliya umprofethi , ithi: Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu kaDavide uyihlo , uthi: Ngokuba ungahambanga ngezindlela zikaJehoshafati uyihlo nangezindlela zika-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda,

bakhuphukela ukulwa noJuda , bafohlela kuye , basusa yonke impahla eyayifumaniseka endlini yenkosi kanye namadodana akhe nawomkakhe ; akusalanga ndodana kuyo, uJehowahazi omncane emadodaneni ayo kuphela.

Kwathi ekuhambeni kwezinsuku ng esikhathi sokufika ekugcineni kweminyaka emibili , izibilini zakhe zaphuma kuye ngesifo sakhe , wafa ngobuhlungu obukhulu. Abantu bakhe abamshiselanga lutho njengokushiselwa kwawoyise.

Inkosi yayisibiza uJehoyada inhloko , yathi kuye : Awubizanga ngani kumaLevi ukuba alethe kwaJuda naseJerusalema int ela kaMose inceku kaJehova neyebandla lika-Israyeli, ibe ngeyetende lobufakazi na?

Kwathi ngasekupheleni komnyaka impi yase -Aramu yakhuphukela kuye , yafika kwaJuda naseJerusalema, yabhubhisa zonke izikhulu zabantu phakathi kwabantu, yathuma yonke impango yazo enkosini yaseDamaseku.

Lapho sebemukile kuye ngokuba bamshiya egula kakhulu izinceku zakhe zamenzela ugobe ngenxa yegazi lamadodana kaJehoyada umpristi, zambulala embhedeni wakhe, wafa; bammbela emzini kaDavide, kodwa abammbelanga emathuneni amakhosi.

Kwathi lapho um buso usuqinisiwe kuye , wazibulala izinceku zakhe ezaziyibulele inkosi uyise.

Kepha kwafika kuye umuntu kaNkulunkulu , wathi: Nkosi, impi yakwa - Israyeli mayingahambi nawe , ngokuba uJehova akasenaye u -Israyeli nabo bonke abantwana bakwa-Efrayimi,

U-Amasiya wayeseyahlukanisa impi ebifike kuye ivela kwa -Efrayimi ukuba iye ekhaya ; ngalokho ulaka lwabo lwavuthela kakhulu uJuda , babuyela ekhaya bevutha ulaka.

Ngalokho intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u -Amasiya, wathuma umprofethi kuye owathi kuye : Ufuneleni onkulunkulu babantu abangophulanga abantu babo esandleni sakho na?

Kwathi esakhuluma naye , wathi kuye : Sikubeke umluleki wenkosi na ? Yeka, ubuyakubulawelani na? Wayeseyeka umprofethi, wathi: Ngiyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu unqumile ukukubhubhisa , ngokuba wenzile lokho , ungalalelanga isiluleko sami.

bamelana no -Uziya inkosi , bathi kuye : Akusikho okwakho , Uziya, ukushisela uJehova impepho , kungokwabapristi, amadodana ka -Aroni, abangcweliselwe uku shisa impepho ; phuma endlini engcwele , ngokuba wenze isiphambeko ; futhi awuyikuba nodumo oluvela kuJehova uNkulunkulu.

Walwa nenkosi yabantwana bakwa -Amoni, wabahlula. Abantwana bakwa - Amoni bamnika ngawo lowo mnyaka amatalenta ayikhulu esiliva, namakhora ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi kakolweni , nawebhali ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi. Lokho-ke abantwana bakwa-Amoni bakuyisa kuye nangomnyaka wesibili nangowesithathu.

UJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe wayesemnikela esandleni senkosi yase - Aramu, bamshaya, bathumba kuye isixuku esikhulu sabathunjwa , babayisa eDamaseku. Naye wanikelwa esandleni senkosi yakwa -Israyeli eyamshaya ngokushaya okukhulu.

Wayesefika kuye uThiligati Philineseri inkosi yase -Asiriya, wamhlupha, akamqinisanga.

Wahlabela onkulunkulu baseDamaseku ababemshayile , wathi: Ngokuba onkulunkulu bamakhosi ase -Aramu bawasiza , ngiyakubahlabela ukuba bangisize nami. Kepha baba yisikhubekiso kuye nakuye wonke u-Israyeli.

Ngase ngifumana okubaba kunokufa : owesifazane onhliziyo yakhe iyizingibe namane tha, nezandla zakhe ziyizibopho ; omuhle phambi kukaNkulunkulu uyakuphunyuka kuye, kepha isoni siyakubanjwa nguye.

UHezekiya wathumela kuye wonke u -Israyeli noJuda, walobela o-Efrayimi noManase izincwadi ukuba beze endlini kaJehova eJerusalema , bamenzele uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli iphasika.

Zase zihamba izigijimi nezincwadi eziphuma esandleni senkosi nasezikhulwini zayo, zaya kuye wonke u -Israyeli noJuda ngesiyalezo senkosi sokuthi: Nina bantwana bakwa -Israyeli, buyelani kuJehova uNkulunkulu ka - Abrahama noka -Isaka noka -Israyeli ukuba abuyele kuyo insali yenu yabasindileyo esandleni samakhosi ase-Asiriya.

Ngokuba ekubuyeleni kwenu kuJehova abafowenu nabantwana benu bayakuthola umusa phambi kwababathumbayo , babuyele kuleli zwe , ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu unomusa nesihe , akayikunifulathela, uma nibuyela kuye.

Ngalezo zinsuku uHezekiya wagula waze waba sengozini yokufa ; wakhuleka kuJehova; yena wakhuluma kuye, wamnika isibonakaliso.

Kanjalo namaqondana nezithunywa zezikhulu zaseBabele ezathumela kuye ukubuza ngesibonakaliso esenziwa ezweni uNkulunkulu wamshiya ukumvivinya nje ukuba azi konke okusenhliziyweni yakhe.

Wakhuleka kuye ; wancengwa nguye , wezwa ukunxusa kwakhe, wambuyisela eJerusalema embusweni wakhe . Wayesekwazi uManase ukuthi uJehova nguye onguNkulunkulu.

Ezinye izindaba zikaManase , nomkhuleko wakhe kuNkulunkulu wakhe , namazwi ababoni ababewakhuluma kuye egameni likaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, bheka, kulotshiwe ezindabeni zamakhosi akwa-Israyeli.

Wayesehamba uHilikiya nabanye benkosi , baya kuHulida umprofethikazi , umkaShalumi indodana kaThokathi kaHasira , umgcinizingubo -- wahlala eJerusalema enxenyeni yesibili -- bakhuluma kuye ngokunjalo.

Kepha uJosiya akaphendukanga kuye, kodwa waziguqula ukuba alwe naye; akalalelanga amazwi kaNekho emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu , weza ukulwa esigodini saseMegido.

Kwenyukela kuye uNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele , wambopha ngamaketanga ukuba amyise eBabele.

Abafokazi badlile amandla akhe , kepha yena akazi ; izimvi zikhahlele kuye, kepha yena akazi.

Ngase ngibabaza intokozo , ngokuba umuntu a kanakho okuhle phansi kwelanga kunokudla , nokuphuza, nokujabula; lokhu kuyakuhlala kuye emshikashikeni wakhe ezinsukwini zokuphila kwakhe aziphiweyo nguNkulunkulu phansi kwelanga.

Ohlangene nabo bonke abaphilayo kukhona ithe mba kuye , ngokuba inja ephilayo ingcono kunengonyama efileyo.

Thabathani amazwi , nibuyele kuJehova , nithi kuye : Susa konke okubi , wamukele okuhle, sinikele ngemilomo yethu njengangezinkunzi.

Ezinye izindaba zikaJehoyakimi , nezinengiso azenzayo , nokunye okufumaniseke kuye, bheka, kulotshiwe encwadini yamakhosi akwa -Israyeli nakwaJuda; uJehoyakini indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

zasondela kuZerubabele nakuzo izinhloko zawoyise , zathi kubo : Masakhe nani, ngokuba sifuna uNkulunkulu wenu njengani , sinikela kuye kwasemihleni ka-Esari Hadoni inkosi yase-Asiriya owasikhuphulela lapha.

bathuma incwadi kuye okulotshwe kuyo ukuthi : KuDariyu inkosi; makube ngukuthula konke.

wathi kuye : Thatha lezi zitsha , uye uzibeke ethempelini eliseJerusalema , indlu kaNkulunkulu yakhiwe endaweni yayo.

Ngase ngimemezela khona ukuzila ukudla ngasemfuleni i -Ahava ukuba sizithobe phambi kukaNkulunkulu , sizifunele kuye i ndlela emhlophe , thina nabantwana bethu, nemfuyo yethu yonke.

U-Ezra esakhuleka , evuma izono ngokukhala , eziwise phansi phambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, kwabuthana kuye kuvela ku-Israyeli ibandla elikhulu kakhulu labesilisa nabesifazane nabantwana , ngokuba abantu bakhala ngokukhala okukhulu.

Ngase ngithumela kuye , ngathi: Azikho izinto ezinjengalezo ozishoyo ; ziqanjwe nguwe enhliziyweni yakho.

Bakhuluma ngezenzo zakhe ezinhle phambi kwami, bamukisa kuye amazwi ami. UThobiya wathuma izincwadi ukungesabisa.

Intombi yayiyinhle emehlweni akhe , yafumana umusa kuye ; washesha wayinika izinto zokuqhola , nezabelo zayo , nezintombi eziyisikhombisa ezazikhethelwe yona zivela endlini yenkosi , wayiyisa yona nezintombi zayo endaweni enhle yendlu yabesifazane.

UMoridekayi wayehamba zonke izinsuku phambi kwegceke lendlu yabesifazane ukuba azi impilo ka-Esteri nokuthi kwenziwe njani kuye.

Zonke izinceku zenkosi ezazisesangweni lenkosi zakhothama , zakhuleka kuHamani, ngokuba inkosi iyale kanjalo ngaye . Kepha uMoridekayi akakhothamanga, kakhulekanga kuye.

Kwathi zikhuluma kuye imihla ngemihla , engazilaleli, zamtshela uHamani ukuba zibone ukuthi amazwi kaMoridekayi ayakuma yini , ngokuba wayezitshelile ukuthi ungumJuda.

Lapho uHamani ebona ukuthi uMoridekayi akakhothamanga , kakhulekanga kuye, uHamani wagcwala ulaka.

Izintombi zika-Esteri nezinduna zakhe zafika zamtshela lokho ; inkosikazi yazwiswa kakhulu ubuhlungu ; yathuma izingubo zokumembathisa uMoridekayi, yasusa kuye ingubo yakhe yamasaka; kepha akazamukelanga.

Zonke izinceku zenkosi nabantu bezifunda zenkosi bayazi ukuthi bonke abesilisa nabesifazane abeza enk osini egcekeni elingaphakathi bengabizwanga, kukhona umthetho munye ngabo wokuba babulawe , ngaphandle kwalowo inkosi eyakwelulela kuye intonga yegolide ukuba aphile; kodwa mina angibizwanga ukuba ngingene enkosini ngalezi zi nsuku ezingamashumi amathathu.

Yayisithi inkosi kuye : Ukhala ngani , nkosikazi Esteri , na? Yini oyifunayo na? Uyakunikwa kuze kube nenxenye yombuso.

Wayesethi uZereshi umkakhe nabo bonke abangane bakhe kuye : Yenza umuthi, ukuphakama kwawo kube yizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu , ukhulume ekuseni enkosini ukuba uMoridekayi aphanyekwe kuwo , besewungena ngokuthokoza kanye nenkosi edilini . Laba lihle lelo zwi kuHamani, wenza umuthi.

Yayisithi inkosi kuye: Umuntu inkosi ethanda ukumdumisa wenzelwani na ? UHamani wathi enhliziyweni yakhe : Ngubani inkosi ebiyakuthanda ukumenzela udumo ngaphandle kwami na?

UHamani walandisa uZereshi umkakhe nabo bonke abangane bakhe kon ke okumehleleyo. Zase zithi kuye izihlakaniphi zakhe noZereshi umkakhe : Uma uMoridekayi oqale ukuwa phambi kwakhe engowenzalo yabaJuda , awuyikumahlula, kepha uyakuwa nokuwa phambi kwakhe.

Wayesethi umkakhe kuye : Usabambelela ekupheleleni kwakho na ? Thuka uNkulunkulu, ufe.

Kepha wathi kuye : Ukhuluma njengalokhu owesifazane oyisiwula ekhuluma. Siyakwamukela okuhl e kuphela kuNkulunkulu , singamukeli nokubi, na? Kukho konke lokho uJobe akonanga ngomlomo wakhe.

Lapho abangane abathathu bakaJobe sebezwe ngakho konke lokho okubi okumehleleyo, bafika kuye bevela , kwaba yilowo nalowo endaweni yakhe : ngu-Elifazi umThema ni, noBilidadi umShuhi , noSofari umNahama ; bavumelana ukuba baye bamkhalele, bamduduze.

Bahlala phansi naye emhlabathini izinsuku eziyisikhombisa nobusuku obuyisikhombisa, akukhulumanga muntu kuye, ngokuba babona ukuthi usizi lwakhe lwalulukhulu kakhulu.

Uyini umuntu ukuba umkhulise, nokuba ubeke inhliziyo yakho kuye,

Uma abantwana bakho bonile kuye, yena wabanikela emandleni ezono zabo,

khona, uma wena ufunisisa uNkulunkulu, unxuse kuye uSomandla,

Ehlakaniphile enhliziyweni , eqinile emandleni , ngubani oziqinisele kuye , waphumelela,

Bheka, uyabamba; ngubani ongamkhalima na ? Ngubani ongasho kuye ukuthi: Wenzani na?

Uma ulungisa inhliziyo yakho, welulele izandla zakho kuye;

Kuye kukhona amandla nokusizwa; odukisiweyo nodukileyo bakuye.

Ungivuthisele intukuthelo yakhe, wangishaya njengezitha kuye.

Kuyakuthi lapho eyakugcwalisa isisu sakhe , uNkulunkulu aphonse kuye ukuvutha kwentukuthelo yakhe, akunise phezu kwakhe esekudleni.

USomandla uyini ukuba simkhonze na? Siyakuzuzani, uma sikhuleka kuye, na?

Amagabade asesigodini ayakuba mnandi kuye ; bonke abantu bayakudonswa emva kwakhe , njengokuba bengenakubalwa nababe phambi kwakhe.

Umuntu angaba yinsizakalo kuNkulunkul u ukuba ohlakaniphileyo abe nosizo kuye na?

Kuyintokozo yini kuSomandla , uma ulungile, kuyinzuzo kuye, uma wenza izindlela zakho ziphelele, na?

Uyakukhuleka kuye, akuzwe, wena ugcwalise izithembiso zakho.

Abasele kuye bayakumbelwa ekufeni, abafelokazi babo bangalili.

Buyelani kuye enimhlubukile ngokujulileyo kangako nina bantwana bakwa - Israyeli.

Kwase kuphumela kuye u-Eliyakimi indodana kaHilikiya owayephezu kwendlu, noShebina umbhali, noJowa indodana ka-Asafa, umabhalana.

Bathi kuye : Usho kanje uHezekiya , uthi: Lolu suku lungusuku losizi nolokusolwa nolokudelelwa , ngokuba abantwana sebefikile ekuzalweni , kepha amandla okubeletha awakho.

Ngalezo zinsuku uHezekiya wagula , wayephansi kokufa . Kwafika kuye u - Isaya umprofethi, indodana ka-Amose, wathi kuye: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Yalela indlu yakho, ngokuba uyakufa, awuyikusinda.

Wayesefika u -Isaya, umprofethi, enkosini uHezekiya , wathi kuye : Batheni labo bantu ; beze kuwe bevelaphi na ? Wathi uHezekiya: Bavela ezweni elikude, iBabele, beze kimi.

Zonke izizwe zinjengento engeluth o phambi kwakhe , zibalwa njengokungelutho nokuyize kuye.

Ngubani owanikela uJakobe ukuba aphangwe , no-Israyeli kubo abaphangi, na? Angithi nguJehova , esonile kuye , nabangavumanga ukuhamba ngezindlela zakhe, nabangawulalelanga umthetho wakhe?

Bese kuba ngokomuntu ukuba abase ngakho ; uthatha kuwo , othe; uyawuphemba, enze isinkwa ; wenza unkulunkulu , akhuleke kuye , enze nesithombe esibaziweyo, akhothambele kuso.

Wo kuye osho kuyise ukuthi : U zalani na ? nakowesifazane ukuthi : Unemihelo ngani na?

Kuyakuthiwa: KuJehova kuphel a nginokulunga namandla . Bayakufika kuye, bajabhe bonke abamvuthelayo.

Bamthwala ehlombe, bametshathe, bambeke endaweni yakhe ukuba eme khona, angabe esasuka endaweni yakhe ; kepha uma umuntu ekhala kuye , akayikumphendula, angamsindisi osizini lwakhe.

Wathi kimi: Uyinceku yami, u-Israyeli, engiyakuzidumisa kuye.

Manje ut hi uJehov a owangibumba kwasekuzalweni ukub a ngibe yinceku yakhe yokubuyisela kuye uJakobe , kubuthelwe kuye no -Israyeli futh i ngidunyisiwe emehlweni kaJehova, uNkulunkulu wami waba ngamandla ami

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Iphi incwadi yesahlukanis o engimlahlile ngayo, noma ngumuphi enginesikwenetu kuy e engithengisile ngani kuye na ? Bhekani, nathengiswa ngobubi benu, nangeziphambeko zenu , unyoko walahlwa.

Omubi makashiye indlela yakhe, nomuntu owenza okubi imicabango yakhe, abuyele kuJehova , uyakuba nomusa kuye , yebo, abuyele kuNkulunkulu wethu, ngokuba uyakwenza ukuthethelela kube kukhulu.

INkosi uJehova ebutha abaxoshiweyo bakwa-Israyeli ithi: Ngisezakubuthela kuye nabanye ngaphandle kwabase bebuthiwe. U-Israyeli wonakele

ngidala izithelo zezindebe zomlomo ngokuthi : Ukuthula, ukuthula kuye okude nakuye oseduze, usho uJehova; ngiyakumphilisa.

Zonke lezi zinto zenziwe yisandla sami , kwavela kanjalo konke lokhu, usho uJehova. Kepha yilowo engiyakub heka kuye : ohluphekayo nonomoya ochobozekileyo, othuthumela ngezwi lami.

Kusukela ekwethwaseni kwenyanga kuye kwenye, kusukela kwelinye isabatha kuye kwelinye yonke inyama iyakufika ukukhuleka phambi kwami , usho uJehova.

okwafika kuye izwi likaJehova ezinsukwini zikaJosiya indodana ka -Amoni, inkosi yakwaJuda, ngomnyaka weshumi nantathu wokubusa kwakhe;

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.

Uyakufunga ngeqiniso, nangokwahlulela, nangokulunga, ngokuthi: Kuphila kukaJehova, izizwe ziyakuzibusisa kuye, zizibonge kuye.

Ngubani umuntu ohlakaniphileyo ongakuqonda lokhu , okhulumile kuye umlomo kaJehova, akumemezele, na? Izwe lichithelweni, lasha njengehlane, kungekho odabulayo, na?

Kwathi ngakusasa uPhashuri wamkhipha uJeremiya esitokisini . UJeremiya wayesethi kuye: UJehova akabizanga igama lakho ngokuthi u Phashuri kepha uMagori Misabibi.

Ngizwile ukuhleba kwabaningi : Luvalo nxazonke . Mmangalele! Masimmangalele! Bonke abangane bami bayalinda ukuwa kwami . Mhlawumbe angayengwa, simahlule, siziphindisele kuye.

Izwi elafika kuJeremiya , livela kuJehova, ekuthumeni kwenkosi uSedekiya uPhashuri indodana kaMalikhiya noZefaniya indodana kaMahaseya, umpristi, kuye ethi:

Uyinkosi ngokuba ushisekela imisedari na? Angithi uyihlo wadla, waphuza, wenza ukwahlulela nokulunga, kwaba kuhle kuye, na?

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

Isikhulu sakhe siyakuba ngesiphuma kuye , nombusi wakhe uyakuvela phakathi kwakhe ; ngiyakumsondeza, asondele kimi , ngokuba ngubani oke waba nesibindi sokusondela kimi na? usho uJehova.

U-Efrayimi uyindodana yami yini eyigugu kimi, ungumntwana othandekayo na? Ngokuba njalo lapho ngikhuluma okubi ngaye , ngisamkhumbula nokumkhumbula; ngalokho izibilini zami ziyamhawukela ; ngiyakuba nesihe impela kuye, usho uJehova.

Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Hamba usho kuSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda , uthi kuye : U sho kanje uJehova , uthi: Bheka, ngiyakuwunikela lo muzi esandleni senkosi yaseBabele, iwushise ngomlilo.

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

Zathi kuye : Ake uhlale phansi , ufunde ezindlebeni zethu . UBaruki wayesefunda ezindlebeni zazo.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Osele k ulo muzi uyakufa ngenkemba , nangendlala, nangesifo, kepha ophumela kumaKaledi uyakuphila , nokuphila kwakhe kuyakuba yimpango kuye, aphile.

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

Zonke izikhulu zafika kuJeremiya , zambuza. Wazitshela onke lawa mazwi inkosi emyale ngawo. Zathula, zasuka kuye, ngokuba indaba ayizwakalanga.

Insali yabantu ababesala emzini, nabahlubuki ababehlubukela kuye, nensali yabantu abaseleyo uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi wabathumbela eBabele.

Mthathe, umbheke, ungamenzeli lutho olubi , kepha wenze kuye njengokusho kwakhe kuwe.

Induna yabalindi yamthatha uJeremiya , yathi kuye: UJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wakhuluma lokhu okubi kule ndawo;

Zonke izinduna zempi ezazisendle , zona nabantu bazo , sezizwile ukuthi inkosi yaseBabele imenzile uGedaliya indodana ka -Ahikamu umbusi ezweni nokuthi inikele kuye abesilisa , nabesifazane, nabantwana, nabayizimpofana bezwe abangathunjelwanga eBabele,

bathi kuye : Uyazi yini ukuthi uBahalisi inkosi yabantwana bakwa -Amoni uthume u -Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya ukuba akubulale na ? Kepha uGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu akabakholwanga.

Noma lilihle , noma lilibi , siyakulilandela izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu esikuthuma kuye ukub a kube kuhle kithi, lapho sililalela izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.

Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli eningithume kuye ukubeka ukunxusa kwenu phambi kwakhe, uthi:

Uyakusho kanje kuye , uthi: U sho kanje uJehova , uthi: Bheka, lokho engikwakhileyo ngiyakukudiliza, nalokhu engikutshalileyo ngiyakukusiphula, yebo, ezweni lonke.

UMowabi ugciniwe kwasebusheni bakhe , uphumulile enhleseni yakhe , kathululwanga ezitsheni ngezitsha, akayanga ekuthunjweni ; ngalokho ukuzwakala kwakhe kuhlala kuye, nephunga lakhe aliguquki.

Ngalokho bheka , izinsuku ziyeza , usho uJehova , engiyakuthuma ngazo kuye abathambekay o abayakumthambeka, bazithulule izitsha zakhe , baziphohloze izimvaba zakhe.

U-Edomi uyakuba yisimangaliso , kumangale yilowo nalowo odlula kuye , ancimfe ngenxa yezinhlupheko zakhe.

Ngiyakuhambela uBeli eBabele , ngikhiphe emlonyeni wakhe l okhu akugwinyileyo; izizwe azisayikugobhozela kuye , ugange lwaseBabele luyakuwa.

wakhuluma kahle kuye, wabeka isihlalo sakhe phezu kwezihlalo zamakhosi ayenaye eBabele.

UJehova uyisabelo sami , usho umphefumulo wami ; ngakho ngiyakwethemba kuye.

Iziphambeko zakhe, nesisodwa asenzileyo asiyikukhunjulelwa kuye , aphile ngokulunga akwenzileyo.

uthi kulo ihlathi laseningizimu: Yizwa izwi likaJehova elithi : Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bheka, ngiyakuphemba umlilo kuwe, udle yonke imithi eluhlaza kuwe nayo yonke imithi eyomileyo, ilangabi elivuthayo lingacimeki, kuhwamuke ngalo bonke ubuso kusukela eningizimu kuye enyakatho.

Ngenxa yokuba ngiyakunquma kuwe abalungileyo nababi , ngalokho inkemba yami iyakuphuma emgodleni wayo , iphumele inyama yonke kusukela eningizimu kuye enyakatho.

Yayisithunywa le nxenye yesandla ivela kuye, walotshwa lo mbhalo.

Bona bambula ubunqunu bakhe , bathatha amadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe; yena bambulala ngenkemba , waba yisaga phakathi kwabesifazane , lapho kwenziwa ukwahlulelwa kuye.

Amadodana aseBabele afika kuye embhedeni wothando , amngcolisa ngobufebe bawo; esengcolisiwe yiwo umphefumulo wakhe wahlukana nawo.

Bangena kuye njengalokhu kungenwa esifebeni ; bangena kanjalo ko -Ohola no-Oholiba, abesifazane abakhanukayo.

ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Ngiyakwelulela isandla sami ku - Edomi, nginqume kuye abantu nezilwane , ngimenze ize kusukela eThemani , bawe ngenkemba kuze kube seDedani.

ngiyakuwunikela esandleni so namandla wezizwe uyakwenza nokwenza kuye njengobubi bawo ngiwuxoshe.

Ndodana yomuntu, yenza isililiselo ngoFaro inkosi yaseGibithe , uthi kuye: Wazifanisa nebhongo lengonyama phakathi kwezizwe , kepha unjengodrako elwandle, lapho ufohlela emifudlaneni yakho , unyakazisa amanzi ngasezinyaweni zakho, udunga izikhukhula zawo.

Ukukhala kwecilongo wakuzwa , kepha akaxwayanga; igazi lakhe liyakuba kuye; uma exwayile, nga ezophulile.

uyambula okujulileyo nokufihlakeleyo ; uyazi ok usebumnyameni, nokukhanya kuhlezi kuye.

Ngalokho uDaniyeli wangena ku -Ariyoki obemiswe yinkosi ukuba abhubhise abahlakaniphileyo baseBabele . Wahamba, washo kanje kuye , wathi: Ungababhubhisi abahlakaniphileyo baseBabele; ngingenise phambi kwenkosi, ngibonise inkosi incazelo.

Inkosi uNebukadinesari yayisiwa ngobuso, yakhuleka kuDaniyeli, yayaleza ukuba banikele ngomnikelo nangempepho kuye.

bonke abakhe emhlabeni bashaywa ize ; uyenza njengentando yakhe empini yasezulwin i naphakathi kwabakhileyo emhlabeni ; akakho ongavimbela isandla sakhe, noma athi kuye: Wenzani na?

Kukhona embusweni wakho umuntu okukuye umoya wawonkulunkulu abangcwele; ezinsukwini zikayihlo kwafunyanwa kuye ukukhanya nokuqonda nokuhlakanipha njengokuhlakanipha kwawonkulunkulu ; inkosi uNebukadinesari, uyihlo yambek a induna yezanusi , neyabathwebulayo, neyamaKaledi, neyabahlola imihlola, yebo, nkosi, uyihlo,

ngokuba kwafunyanwa umoya odluleleyo , nokwazi, nokuqonda ukuchaza amaphupho, nokubonakalisa izimfumbe , nokuthukulula amafindo kuye uDaniyeli lowo inkosi eyambiza ngokuthi uBeliteshasari; kalokhu makabizwe uDaniyeli, uyakubonakalisa incazelo.

Kepha lapho inhliziyo yakhe yaziphakamisa, nomoya wakhe waba lukhuni waze wazidla , wehliswa esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi , balususa udumo lwakhe kuye;

Khona abongameli nezikhulu base befuna ukuthola utho ngoDaniyeli oluqondene nombuso, kepha abatholanga lutho nacala kuye , ngokuba wayethembekile; akutholwanga siphosiso nacala kuye.

Yayisijabula kakhulu inkosi , yayaleza ukuba uDaniyeli akhushulwe emphandwini. UDaniyeli way esekhushulwa emphandwini , akufunyanwanga mcothu kuye, ngokuba wayemethembile uNkulunkulu wakhe.

Ngasondela komunye wababemi khona , ngabuza kuye iqiniso lakho konke lokhu. Wangitshela, wangazisa incazelo yezindaba.

Wonke u -Israyeli weqile umthetho wakho , echezuka ukuze bangalilaleli izwi lakho ; ngalokho isiqalekiso sithululwe phezu kwethu kanye nesifungo esilotshiwe emthethweni kaMose inceku kaNkulunkulu, ngokuba sonile kuye.

Useyakubuphendulela ubuso bakhe eziqhingini , athathe eziningi , kepha isikhulu siyakuqeda ihlazo elenziwa nguye, futhi sibuyisele ihlazo lakhe kuye.

UJehova wathi kuye : Qamba igama la yo ngokuthi uJizreyeli , ngokuba kusezakuba yisikhashana ngize ngiphindisele igazi likaJizreyeli phezu kwendlu kaJehu, ngiqede umbuso wendlu ka-Israyeli.

Wabuye wakhulelwa, wazala indodakazi. Wayesethi uJehova kuye : Qamba igama layo ngokuthi uLo Ruhama , ngokuba angisayikuyihawukela indlu yakwa-Israyeli ukuba ngibathethelele.

ngathi kuye : Uyakuhlala kimi izinsuku ezin ingi, ungafebi, ungabi ngowomunye, nami ngibe njalo kuwe.

Ngokuba u -Efrayimi wandisile ama -altare aba ngukona ; ama-altare ayakuba ngukona kuye.

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

U-Efrayimi ucunulile ngokubabisayo ; icala lakhe legazi liyakuphonswa phezu kwakhe; iNkosi yakhe ibuyisele kuye ihlazo lakhe.

Ngalokho, ngokuba ninyathela abampofu, namukele kuye isipho samabele, noma nakha izindlu ngamatshe abaziwey o aniyikuhlala kuzo , nokuba nitshala izivini ezinhle aniyikuphuza iwayini lazo.

Kwase kusondela kuye induna yomkhumbi , yathi: Unani wena olele ubuthongo na? Vuka, ubize uNkulunkulu wakho; mhlawumbe lo Nkulunkulu uyakusikhumbula ukuba singabhubhi.

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

Base besaba abantu ngokwesaba okukhulu , bathi kuye : Kuyini lokh u okwenzileyo na? Ngokuba base bazi ukuthi ubalekile ebusweni bukaJehova , lokhu ebatshelile.

Base bethi kuye : Siyakwenze njani kuwe , ukuze ulwandle luthule kithina , ngokuba ulwandle luyaqhubeka lube nesivunguvungu.

Ningamethembi umngane , ningakholwa ngumhlobo ; gcina iminyango yomlomo wakho kuye olala ngasesifubeni sakho.

Ngiyakuthwala ulaka lukaJehova , ngokuba ngonile kuye , aze amele indaba yami, angenzele ukwahlulelwa , angiphumisele ekukhanyeni , ngibone ukulunga kwakhe.

UJehova muhle , uyinqaba ngosuku lwenhlupheko , uyabazi abaph ephela kuye.

UJehova uyakwesabeka phezu kwabo , ngokuba uyakuzacisa bonke onkulunkulu bomhlaba , bakhuleke kuye , kube yilow o nalowo endaweni yakhe, zonke iziqhingi zezizwe.

Kuyakuthi uma kusaprofetha umuntu, uyise nonina abamzalayo basho kuye ukuthi: Awuyikuphila, ngokuba ukhuluma amanga egameni likaJehova, uyise nonina abamzalayo bamgwaze esaprofetha.

Uma sekuthiwa kuye : Iyini leyo mivimbo esezandleni zakho na ? uyakuthi: Engashaywa ngayo endlini yabathandiweyo bami. Umalusi wamanga

AkusiMunye osenzileyo , okusele kuye umoya wethu na ? Ufunani lo Munye? Inzalo kaNkulunkulu . Ngalokho qaphelani umoya wenu uk uba ningamkhohlisi umfazi wobusha benu.

Esazindla ngalokho, bheka, ingelosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuye nge phupho, ithi: Josefa, ndodana kaDavide , ungesabi ukumthatha uMariya umkakho , ngokuba lokho akukhulelweyo kungoMoya oNgcwele.

akaze aya kuye , waze wazibula ngendodana ; wayiqamba igama lokuthi uJesu.

Uphi lowo ozelwe eyinkosi yabaJuda na? Ngokuba sibonile inkanyezi yakhe kwelasempumalanga, size ukukhuleka kuye.

Bathi kuye : EBetlehema laseJudiya , ngokuba kulotshiwe kanjalo ngomprofethi ukuthi:

wazithuma eBetlehema, wathi: Hambani nibuzisise ngomntwana; kuyakuthi nxa nimfumene, ningitshele ukuba nami ngiye ngikhuleke kuye.

Zase zingena endlini , zabona umntwa na noMariya unina , zawa phansi , zakhuleka kuye, zavula amagugu azo, zamkhunga ngezipho: igolide namakha nenhlaka.

Khona kwaphumela kuye iJerusalema , neJudiya lonke , nezwe lonke laseJordani,

UJesu waphendula , wathi kuye : Vuma kalokhu , ngokuba kusifanele ukugcwalisa kanjalo ukulunga konke. Khona wayesemvumela.

Kwafika umlingi, wathi kuye: Uma uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, yisho ukuba lawa matshe abe yizinkwa.

wathi kuye : Uma uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu , ziphonse phansi ; ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi : Uyakuyaleza izingelosi zakhe ngawe , zikuthwale ngezandla, ungaze waqhuzuka etsheni ngonyawo lwakho.
