Ngokuba inceku yakho yaba yisibambiso somfana kubaba , yathi: U ma ngingambuyiseli kuwe, ngiyakuba necala kubaba kuze kube phakade.

Ngokuba ngingakhuphukela kanjani kubaba , umfana engenami , funa ngibone okubi okuzakumehlela ubaba, na?

Wathi uJosefa kubafowabo : NginguJosefa; ubaba usekhona na ? Abafowabo babengenakumphendula, ngokuba bashaqeka ebusweni bakhe.

Manje ningabi buhlungu , ningazithukutheleli ukuthi nathengisa ngami lapha, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wangithuma phambi kwenu ukulondoloza impilo.

Ngokuba isimibili iminyaka indlala ikhona ezweni ; kusasele iminyaka eyisihlanu okungayikulinywa, kuvunwe ngayo.

Futhi ningakhathaleli impahla yenu , ngokuba okuhle kwezwe lonke laseGibithe kungokwenu.

Bamtshela bathi: UJosefa usekhona, ungumbusi ezweni lonke laseGibithe . Inhliziyo yakhe yayisiphela amandla, ngokuba akakholwanga yibo.

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

Lawa madoda angabelusi bezimvu , ngokuba ayengamadoda emfuyo ; aselethile izimvu zawo, nezinkomo zawo, nakho konke anakho.

anothi: Izinceku zakho zingabantu bemfuyo kwasebusheni bethu kuze kube manje, thina nawobaba, ukuze nihlale ezweni laseGosheni , ngokuba wonke umalusi wezimvu uyanengeka kwabaseGibithe.

Bathi kuFaro: Size ukugogobala ezweni, ngokuba akukho dlelo lemihlambi yezinceku zakho , lokhu indlala inzima ezweni laseKhanani ; ngalokho izinceku zakho mazakhe ezweni laseGosheni.

Ukudla kwakungekho ezweni lonke , ngokuba indlala yayinzima kakhulu ; izwe laseGibithe nezwe laseKhanani afa indlala.

Isiphelile imali ezweni laseGibithe nasezweni laseKhanani , bonke abaseGibithe beza kuJosefa , bathi: Siphe ukudla ; siyakufelani phambi kwakho na? Ngokuba isiphelile imali.

UJosefa wamthengela uFaro izwe lonke laseGibithe , ngokuba bonke abaseGibithe bathengisa ngamasimu abo , lokhu indlala yayinzima phezu kwabo; izwe lase liba ngelikaFaro.

Yizwe labapristi kuphela angalithenganga , ngokuba abapristi babethole isabelo kuFaro , badla isabelo sabo abapha sona uFaro ; ngalokho abathengisanga ngezwe labo.

U-Israyeli wayeselula isandla sakhe sokunene , wasibeka ekhanda lika - Efrayimi, kanti ungomncane, nesokhohlo ekhanda likaManase , ephambanisa izandla zakhe, ngokuba uManase wayeyizibulo.

Wayesethi uJosefa kuyise : Kungabi njalo , ngokuba lo uyizibulo ; beka esokunene sakho ekhanda lakhe.

Uyachichima njengamanzi, awuyikuba nabungqongqo, ngokuba wakhwela embhedeni kayihlo, wawona; wakhwela okhukhweni lwami.

Ungangeni emkhandlwini wabo, mphefumulo wami; ungahlangani nebandla labo, nhliziyo yami , ngokuba ngolaka lwabo babulala abantu ; ngobudlova babo basika izinkabi umsipha.

Makuqalekiswe ulaka lwabo , ngokuba lwalunamandla, nentukuthelo yabo, ngokuba yayinonya ; ngizakubahlukanisa kwaJakobe , ngibasakaze kwa - Israyeli.

Zaphelela izinsuku zakhe ezingamashumi amane, ngokuba ziphelela kanjalo izinsuku zokugqumisa ngemithi ; abaseGibithe bamkhalela izinsuku ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa.

ngokuba amadodana akhe amyisa ezweni laseKhanani , ammbela emhumeni wasensimini yaseMakaphela , u-Abrahama awuthenga kanye nensimu ku-Efroni umHeti, ube yindawo yokumbela, ngaphambi kweMamre.

Niyakusho kuJosefa ukuthi: Ake uthethelele abafowenu isiphambeko sabo nesono sabo , ngokuba bakwenzela okubi . Manje siyakucela ukuthi : Ake uthethelele isiphambeko sezinceku zikaNkulunkulu kayihlo . UJosefa wakhala, besakhuluma kuye.

Kwathi ngokuba ababelethisi bamesaba uNkulunkulu, wabavusela imizi.

Umfana wakhula, wayiswa kuyo indodakazi kaFaro, waba yindodana yayo. Yamqamba igama lokuthi uMose, ithi: Ngokuba ngamkhipha emanzini. Ukubaleka kukaMose

Wazala indodana, wayiqamba igama lokuthi uGereshomu , ngokuba wathi: Ngangingumfokazi ezweni elingesilo elami.

Wathi: Ngilapha. Wayesethi: Ungasondeli lapha; khumula izicathulo zakho ezinyaweni zakho, ngokuba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.

Wathi: NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo , uNkulunkulu ka -Abrahama, noNkulunkulu ka -Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe ; uMose wasitha ubuso bakhe, ngokuba wesaba ukumbheka uNkulunkulu.

Wayesethi uJehova : Ngibonile nokubona ukuhlupheka kwabantu bami abaseGibithe; ngizwile ukukhala kwabo ngenxa yabacindezeli babo , ngokuba ngiyazazi izinsizi zabo;

Ngokuba babalekela izinkemba , izinkemba ezihoshiweyo , neminsalo ensaliweyo, nobunzima bempi.

ngokuba ithanda isizwe sakithi; yiyo esakhele isinagoge.

UMose waphendula wathi : Kepha bheka , abayikukholwa yimi , bangalaleli izwi lami, ngokuba bayakusho ukuthi: UJehova akabonakalanga kuwe.

UMose wayesethi kuJehova : Nkosi, angizange ngibe ngumuntu oyiqaphuqaphu, nakuqala namanje lapho usukhulumile encekwini yakho , ngokuba umlomo wami unzima, unamalimi.

UJehova wathi kuMose kwaMidiyani : Hamba ubuyele eGibithe , ngokuba sebafa abantu bonke abafuna ukukubulala.

Kepha isilinganiso sezitini ekade besenza , bamiseleni sona, ningasinciphisi, ngokuba bayenqena ; ngalokho bayakhala bathi : M asihambe sihlabele uNkulunkulu wethu.

Hambani nina , nizifunele utshani , lapho ningabuthola khona , ngokuba imisebenzi yenu ayiyikuncishiswa ngalutho.

Ngalokho hambani nisebenze , ngokuba aniyikuphiwa tshani , kepha isilinganiso sezitini niyakusiqeda.

Zathi kubo : UJehova makanibheke , ahlulele, ngokuba nilenzile iphunga lethu linuke kabi emeh lweni kaFaro nasemehlweni ezinceku zakhe , nibeke inkemba esandleni sabo ukuba basibulale.

UJehova wathi kuMose: Manje usuzakubona lokho engiyakukwenza kuFaro, ngokuba ngenxa yesandla esiqinileyo uyakubayeka ukuba bahambe , nangenxa yesandla esinamandla uyakubaxosha ezweni lakhe.

Ngokuba yilowo nalowo waphonsa phansi induku yakhe , zaphenduka izinyoka; kepha induku ka-Aroni yagwinya izinduku zabo.

AbaseGibithe bemba nxazonke zomfula ukuthola amanzi okuphuza , ngokuba babengenakuphuza amanzi asemfuleni.

Ngokuba uma wenqaba ukuba basuke , bheka, ngizakuthumela kuwe izibawu, nakuzo izinceku zakho, nakubantu bakho , nasezindlini z akho; izindlu zabaseGibithe ziyakugcwala izibawu kanye nomhlabathi ezikuwo.

Wayesethi uMose : Akufanele ukwenze njalo , ngokuba siyakuhlabela uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu lokhu okunengeka kwabaseGibithe ; bheka, singahlaba okunengeka kwabaseGibithe emehlweni abo , bangasikhandi ngamatshe, na?

Ngokuba uma wenqaba ukuba bahambe usababambile,

Izanusi zazingenakuma phambi kukaMose ngenxa yamathumba , ngokuba amathumba ayekhona kuzo izanusi nakubo bonke abaseGibithe.

Ngokuba kulesi sikhathi ngizakuthuma zonke izinhlupho zami enhliziyweni yakho, nasezincekweni zakho, nakubantu bakho, ukuze wazi ukuthi akakho onjengami emhlabeni wonke.

Ngokuba ngase ngiselule isandla sami , ngakushaya wena nabantu bakho ngesifo, uze uchitheke emhlabeni,

Ncengani kuJehova , ngokuba sekwanele lokhu kuduma okungaka nesichotho; ngizakunivumela ukuba nihambe, ningabe nisahlala.

Kwashaywa ifilaki si nebhali , ngokuba ibhali lalikhahlele , nefilakisi laliqhakazile.

Kepha ukolweni nespelite akushaywanga, ngokuba kwakungakakhuli.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Ngena kuFaro , ngokuba ngenze lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe nenhliziyo yezinceku zakhe ukuba ngizenze lezi zibonakaliso zami phakathi kwabo,

Ngokuba uma wenqaba ukuba abantu bami bahambe , bheka, ngomuso ngizakuletha isikhonyane ezweni lakho.

UMose wathi : Siyakuhamba nabasha bethu , nabadala bethu , namadodana ethu, namadodakazi ethu , nezimvu zethu , nezinkomo zethu , ngokuba sinomkhosi kaJehova.

Wayesethi kubo : Makabe nani -ke uJehova , njengokuba ngizakunivumela ukuba nihambe nezingane zenu; bhekani, ngokuba okubi kuphambi kwenu.

Kungabi njalo; hambani nina madoda nimkhonze uJehova , ngokuba yikho enikufunayo. Base bexoshwa ebusweni bukaFaro.

Ngokuba sasibekela ubuso bonke bomhlaba, laze laba mnyama izwe . Sadla imifino yonke nezithelo zonke zemithi ezishiywe yisichotho ; akwasala lutho oluluhlaza emithini nasemifinweni yasendle ezweni lonke laseGibithe.

Imfuyo yethu nayo iyakuhamba nathi ; akuyikusala nanselo , ngokuba siyakuthatha kuyo lokhu esiyakumkhonza ngakho uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu; asikwazi esiyakumkhonza ngakho uJehova, singakafiki khona.

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

Ngokuba ngiyakudabula izwe laseGibithe ngalobo busuku, ngibulale onke amazibulo ezweni laseGibithe , abantu nezinkomo , ngenze izahlulelo kuzo zonke izithixo zaseGibithe; nginguJehova.

Izinsuku eziyisikhombisa niyakudla isinkwa esingenamvubelo ; yebo, ngosuku lokuqala noyikhipha imvubelo ezindlini zenu, ngokuba bonke abadla okuvutshelweyo, kusukela osukwini lokuqa la kuze kufike usuku lwesikhombisa, labo bantu bayakunqunywa kwa-Israyeli.

Niyakugcina umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo , ngokuba ngalona lolo suku ngikhiphile amabandla enu ezweni laseGibithe ; ngalokho anogcina lolu suku ezizukulwaneni zenu zonke ngokomthetho waphakade.

Izinsuku eziyisikhombisa akuyikutho lakala mvubelo ezindlini zenu , ngokuba yilowo nalowo odlayo okuvutshelweyo yena uyakunqunywa ebandleni lakwa-Israyeli, noma engumfokazi noma engowokuzalwa ezweni.

Ngokuba uJehova uyakudabula ukuyoshaya abaseGibithe ; nanxa ebona igazi elisekhothameni nasezinsikeni zombili , uJehova uyakudlula kulowo mnyango, angamvumeli umbhubhisi ukuba angene ezindlini z enu ukuyobulala.

UFaro wavuka ebusuku , yena nezinceku zakhe zonke , nabo bonke abaseGibithe; kwaba khona ukukhala okukhulu eGibithe , ngokuba kwakungekhondlu, lapho kungafanga muntu khona.

AbaseGibithe babebacindezela abantu ukuba babakhiphe ezweni ngokushesha, ngokuba bathi: Thina sonke sifile.

Ngenhlama abaphuma nayo eGibit he benza amaqebelengwane angenamvubelo, ngokuba yayingavutshelwe , lokhu baxoshwa eGibithe bengenakulibala, futhi bengazilungiselanga mphako.

UMose wayesethi kubantu: Khumbulani lolu suku eniphume ngalo eGibithe, indlu yobugqila, ngokuba ngesandla esinamandla uJehova unikhiphile kule ndawo: akuyikudliwa sinkwa esivutshelweyo.

Kuyakuba luphawu kuwe esandleni sakho , kube yisikhumbuzo phakathi kwamehlo akho, ukuze umthetho kaJehova ube semlonyeni wak ho, ngokuba ngesandla esinamandla uJehova wakukhipha eGibithe.

Kuyakuba luphawu esandleni sakho nesikhumbuzo phakathi kwamehlo akho, ngokuba ngesandla esinamandla uJehova wasikhipha eGibithe. Ukuhamba kwabakwa-Israyeli ukuya eLwandle Olubomvu

Kwathi uFaro esebavumele abantu ukuba bahambe , uNkulunkulu akabaholanga ngendlela yasezweni lamaFilisti , noma kwakuyiyona eseduze ; ngokuba uNkulunkulu wathi: Funa mhlawumbe abantu bazisole, nxa bebona impi, babuyele eGibithe.

UMose wathatha amathambo kaJosefa , wahamba nawo , ngokuba wayebafungisile nokubafungisa abakwa -Israyeli, ethi: Impela uNkulunkulu uyakunihambela nokunihambela , nikhuphule lapha amathambo ami kanye nani.

UJehova wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro inkosi yaseGibithe ; waxosha abakwa-Israyeli; ngokuba abantwana bakwa -Israyeli baphuma ngesandla esiphakamileyo.

Leli alisilo izwi esalikhuluma kuwe eGibithe , sithi: S iyeke, sikhonze abaseGibithe, na? Ngokuba bekuyakuba ngcono kithi ukubakhonza abaseGibithe kunokuba sifele ehlane.

UMose wathi kubantu : Ningesabi; qinani, nibone ukusindisa kukaJehova azakunenzela khona namuhla , ngokuba abaseGibithe enibabonile namuhla anisayikubuye nibabone naphakade.

Wawisa amasondo ezinqola ukuba bahambise kalukhuni , baze bathi abaseGibithe: Masibaleke ebusweni buka -Israyeli, ngokuba uJehova uyabalwela emelene nabaseGibithe.

Base behlabelela uMose nabantwana bakwa -Israyeli leli gama , bekhuluma bethi: Ngizakuhlabelela kuJehova , ngokuba uphakeme kakhulu ; ihhashi nenkweli yalo ukuphonse elwandle.

Ngokuba amahhashi kaFaro angena elwandle kanye nezinqola zakhe nabamahhashi bakhe , uJehova wabuyisela amanzi olwandle phezu kwabo ; kepha abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bahamba emhlabathini owomileyo ngaphakathi kolwandle.

UMiriyamu wabaphendula ngokuthi : Hlabelelani kuJehova, ngokuba uphakeme kakhulu; ihhashi nenkweli yalo ukuphonse elwandle. Amanzi ababayo aseMara

wathi: Uma u lalela nokulalela izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho , ukwenze okulungile emehlweni akhe , ulalele imiyalo yakhe , ugcine izimiso zakhe zonke , angiyikubeka phezu kwakho nasinye salezo zifo engizibeke phezu kwabaseGibithe, ngokuba nginguJehova okuphilisayo. Ukufika kwabakwa-Israyeli e-Elimi

Abantwana bakw a-Israyeli bathi kubo : Sengathi nga safa ngesandla sikaJehova ezweni laseGibithe , lapho sasihlezi ngasemakhanzini enyama , sidla isinkwa sisutha, ngokuba nisiphumisele kuleli hlane ukuyobulala lonke leli bandla ngendlala. Abantu basuthiswa ngezigwaca nangemana*

UMose wathi : Lokhu kuzakwenzeka , lapho uJehova eyakuninika inyama kusihlwa ukuba nidle , nasekuseni isinkwa ukuze nisuthe ; ngokuba uJehova uyezwa izinkonono zenu enikhonona ngaye ng azo; thina siyini? Izinkonono zenu azingathi, zingoJehova.

UMose wathi ku -Aroni: Yisho kuyo yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa - Israyeli ukuthi : S ondelani phambi kukaJehova , ngokuba uzwile izinkonono zenu.

Bakubona abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, bathi omunye komunye : Yini le ? ngokuba babengazi ukuthi kuyini . UMose wathi kubo : Kuyisinkwa uJehova aninike sona ukuba nisidle.

Wayesethi uMose : Yidlani lokhu namuhla , ngokuba namuhla kuyisabatha likaJehova; namuhla aniyikukuthola endle.

Ngifake njengophawu enhliziyweni yakho , njengophawu engalweni yakho , ngokuba uthando lunamand la njengokufa; isikhwele silukhuni njengendawo yabafileyo; amalangabi alo angamalangabi omlilo, ilangabi likaJehova.

Yizwani, mazulu, ubeke indlebe, mhlaba, ngokuba uJehova ukhuluma uthi : Ngikhulisile ngiphakamisile abantwana, kepha bangihlubukile.

Kepha awungibizanga, Jakobe, ngokuba wadinwa yimi, Israyeli.

namadodana akhe omabili, igama lenye linguGereshomu, ngokuba wayethe: Ngangingumfokazi kwelinye izwe,

igama lenye lalingu-Eliyezeri, ngokuba wathi : UNkulunkulu kababa ubelusizo lwami, wangophula enkembeni kaFaro.

Uyakudinwa nokudinwa , wena nalaba bantu abanawe , ngokuba lokhu kuyakusinda; awunakukwenza uwedwa.

Kalokhu uma nilalela nokulalela izwi lami , nigcine isivumelwano sami , niyakuba yigugu kimi kunazo zonke izizwe , ngokuba umhlaba wonke ungowami,

babe sebelungile ngosuku lwesithathu ; ngokuba ngosuku lwesithathu uJehova uyakwehlela entabeni yaseSinayi emehlweni abantu bonke.

Yonke intaba yaseSinayi yathunqa umusi, ngokuba uJehova wehlela phezu kwayo ngomlilo; umusi wayo wenyuka njengomusi wesithando; intaba yonke yazamazama kakhulu.

UMose wathi kuJehova : Abantu abanakukhuphukela entabeni yaseSinayi , ngokuba usiyalisisile, wathi: Yimisele intaba umkhawulo, uyingcwelise.

ungazikhothameli, ungazikhonzi, ngokuba mina Jehova uNkulunkulu wakho nginguNkulunkulu onomhawu , ngihambela ububi bawoyise kubantwana kuso isizukulwane sesithathu nesesine sabangizondayo,

Ungaliphathi ngeze igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho , ngokuba uJehova akayikumyeka oliphatha ngeze igama lakhe.

ngokuba ngezinsuku eziyisithupha uJehova wenza izulu nomhlaba , nolwandle, nakho konke okukukho , waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa ; ngalokho uJehova walubusisa usuku lwesabatha, walungcwelisa.

UMose wayesethi kubantu : Ningesabi, ngokuba uNkulunkulu uze ukuba anivivinye, ukumesaba kube semehlweni enu, ukuze ningoni.

Uma ungenzela i -altare nga matshe, awuyikulakha ngamatshe abaziweyo , ngokuba uma uphakamisela kulo ingwedo yakho, ulingcolisile.

Kepha uma sihlala usuku lube lunye noma zibe zimbili , akayikujeziswa, ngokuba siyimali yakhe.

Awuyikukhathaza umfokazi , ungamcindezeli, ngokuba naningabafokazi ezweni laseGibithe.

ngokuba iyisimbozo sakhe esisodwa , iyisambatho somzimba wakhe ; uyakulala ngani na ? Kuzakuthi nxa ekhala kimi , ngizakumuzwa, ngokuba nginomusa.

Deda ube kude nendaba yamanga ; ungambulali ongenacala nolungileyo , ngokuba angiyikumyeka owonileyo.

Awuyikwamukela isipho , ngokuba isipho siphuphuthekisa ababonayo , siphendukezele amazwi olungileyo.

Awuyikumcindezela umfokazi, ngokuba niyazi inhliziyo yomfokazi , lokhu naningabafokazi ezweni laseGibithe.

Uzakugcina umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo , udle isinkwa esingenamvubelo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa , njengalokho ngakuyala , ngesikhathi esinqunyiweyo senyanga ka -Abibi, ngokuba waphuma ngayo eGibithe, kungabonakali muntu phambi kwami ongaphethe lutho,

Yiqaphele, ulalele izwi layo , ungayicunuli, lokhu ayiyikuthethelela iziphambeko zenu, ngokuba igama lami likuyo.

Ngokuba ingelosi yami izakuhamba phambi kwakho , ikuyise kuwo ama - Amori, namaHeti, namaPherizi, namaKhanani, namaHivi, namaJebusi. Ngiyakubachitha.

Ngiyakumisa imikhawulo yakho , kusukela eLwandle Olubomvu kuze kufike elwandle lamaFilisti , kusukela ehlane kuze kube semfuleni , ngokuba ngiyakunikela esandleni sakho abakhe kulelo zwe , wena u baxoshe phambi kwakho.

Abayikuhlala ezweni lakini, funa bakwenze ukuba wone kimi, ngokuba uma ubakhonza onkulunkulu babo, kuyakuba lugibe kuwe.

Wothabatha ama noni enqama , nomsila ononileyo , nomhlehlo osibekela izibilini, namanoni esibindi , nezinso zombili namanoni akuzo , nomlenze wokunene, ngokuba kuyinqama yokwahlukaniselwa;

kuyakuba ngokuka-Aroni nokwamadodana akhe, kube yimfanelo ephakade kwabakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba kungum nikelo wokuphakanyiswa ; koba ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa wabantwana bakwa -Israyeli womhlatshelo weminikelo yabo yokuthula, umnikelo wabo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova.

badle lezo zinto ezenza ukubuyisana ukubahlukanisela nokubangcwelisa ; zingadliwa ngumfokazi, ngokuba zingcwele.

Uma kusala inyama yokwahlu kaniselwa kuze kuse noma isinkwa , ukushise okuseleyo ngomlilo, kungadliwa, ngokuba kungcwele.

Yisho kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli, uthi: Anogcina amasabatha , ngokuba aluphawu phakathi kwami nani ezizukulwaneni zenu ukuba nazi ukuthi nginguJehova oningcwelisayo.

Gcinani isabatha , ngokuba lingcwele kini ; yilowo nalowo olo nayo uyakubulawa nokubulawa , ngokuba osebenza umsebenzi ngalo uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.

Liluphawu phakathi kwami nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade, ngokuba ngezinsuku eziyisithupha uJehova walenza izul u nomhlaba, kepha ngosuku lwesikhombisa waphumula, waqabuleka.

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.

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: Hamba wehle, ngokuba abantu bakho owabakhuphula ezweni laseGibithe benzile isono;

Ngokuba bathi kimi : Senzele onkulunkulu abazakuhamba phambi kweth u, ngokuba uMose lowo , umuntu owasikhuphula ezweni laseGibithe , asazi ukuthi wehlelwe yini.

UMose wababona abantu ukuthi babedlubulundile ; ngokuba u -Aroni wayebakhululile baze bahlekwa yizitha zabo;

UJehova wayesebashaya-ke abantu, ngokuba benza ithole lelo alenzayo u - Aroni.

Ngokuba kuyakwaziwa ngani ukuthi ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho , mina nabantu bakho , na? Akungalokhu yini ukuthi uhamba nathi , ukuze sahlukaniswe, mina nabantu bakho, nabanye abantu abasebusweni bomhlaba na?

UJehova wathi kuMose : Ngiyakwenza nalokho okushiloyo , ngokuba ufumene umusa emehlweni ami; ngiyakwazi ngegama.

Wathi: Awunakubona ubuso bami , ngokuba akukho muntu ongangibona , aphile.

Wathi: Nkosi, uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho , iNkosi mayihambe iphakathi kwethu , ngokuba bangabantu abantamo ilukhuni ; usithethelele ububi bethu nokona kwethu, usithabathe sibe yifa lakho.

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

ngokuba awuyikukhonza omunye unkulunkulu , lokhu uJehova , igama lakhe linguMhawu, unguNkulunkulu onomhawu,

Umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo wowugcina . Uyakudla isinkwa esingenamvubelo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa , njengalokho ngakuyala , ngesikhathi esinqunyiweyo senyanga ka -Abibi, ngokuba ngenyanga ka -Abibi waphuma eGibithe.

Ngokuba ngiyakuxosha izizwe phambi kwakho , ngandise imikhawulo yakho; akuyikubakho muntu olifisa izwe lakho , nxa ukhuphuka uya ukubonakala phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho kathathu ngomnyaka.

UJehova wathi kuMose: Zilobele lawa mazwi, ngokuba ngokwalawa mazwi ngenzile isivumelwano nawe nabakwa-Israyeli.

UMose wayengenakungena etendeni lokuhlangana , ngokuba ifu lahlala phezu kwalo, nenkazimulo kaJehova yagcwalisa itabernakele.

Ngokuba ifu likaJehova laliphezu kwetabernakele emini , nomlilo wawukulo ebusuku emehlweni ayo yonke indlu yakwa -Israyeli ezinkambeni zabo zonke. ULEVITIKUS

Awuyikwenziwa ngemvubelo umnikelo wempuphu eninikela ngawo kuJehova, ngokuba aniyikushisa imvubelo nazinyosi kube ngumnikelo womlilo kuJehova.

Ngase ngithi enhliziyweni yami: UNkulunkulu uyakwahlulela nolungileyo nomubi, ngokuba kukhona lapha isikhathi sezindaba zonk e nesemisebenzi yonke.

Kepha uma amandla akhe enganeli ama hobhe amabili noma amaphuphu amabili amajuba , makalethe umnikelo wakhe ngalokho one ngakho , okweshumi kwe -efa lempuphu ecolekileyo , ube ngumnikelo wesono , angatheli mafutha phezu kwawo , angabeki nhlaka phezu kwawo , ngokuba kungumnikelo wesono,

Ngokuba yilowo nalowo odla amanoni enkomo okunikelwa ngayo ibe ngumnikelo womlilo kuJehova , lowo muntu owadlayo uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.

Ngokuba isifuba sokuzuliswa nomlenze woku phakanyiswa ngikuthabathe kwabakwa-Israyeli emihlatshelweni yeminikelo yabo yokuthula, ngakunika u- Aroni umpristi namadodana akhe , kube yisimiso esiphakade kwabakwa - Israyeli.

Ningaphumi emnyango wetende lokuhlangana izinsuku eziyisikhombisa , kungakapheli izinsuku zokwahlukaniselwa kwenu , ngokuba uyakunahlukanisela izinsuku eziyisikhombisa.

Ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana niyakuhlala imini nobusuku izinsuku eziyisikhombisa, nisigcine isiyalezo sikaJehova , ukuze ningafi , ngokuba ngiyaliwe kanjalo.

nenkunzi nenqama zibe yiminikelo yokuthula , zihlatshwe phambi kukaJehova, nomnikelo wempuphu oxovwe namafutha , ngokuba namuhla uJehova uyabonakala kini.

Ningaphumi emnyango wetende lokuhlangana, funa nife, ngokuba amafutha okugcoba kaJehova aphezu kwenu. Benza-ke njengezwi likaMose.

UMose wakhuluma ku -Aroni naku -Eleyazare naku -Itamari amadodana akhe aseleyo, wathi: Thathani umnikelo wempuphu osele eminikelweni yomlilo kaJehova, niwudle ungenamvubelo ngaseceleni kwe -altare, ngokuba ungcwelengcwele,

niwudle endaweni engcwele , ngokuba kuyimfanelo yakho nemfanelo yamadodana akho eminikelweni yomlilo kaJehova ; ngokuba ngiyaliwe kanjalo.

Isifuba sokuzuliswa nomlenze wokuphakanyiswa niyakukudla endaweni ehlambulukileyo, wena namadodana akho namadodakazi akho kanye nawe , ngokuba kuphiwe kube yimfanelo yakho nemfanelo yamadodana akho emihlatshelweni yeminikelo yokuthula yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

kepha uma nala , nihlubuka, niyakudliwa yinkemba , ngokuba umlomo kaJehova ukhulumile.

Ngokuba niyakuba njenge -oki elimaqabunga alo abunile , nanjengensimu engenamanzi.

Abantu abaningi bayakuhamba , bathi: Wozani sikhuphukele entabeni kaJehova endlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe ; uyakusifundisa izindlela zakhe , sihambe emikhondweni yakhe, ngokuba umthetho uyakuvela eSiyoni , nezwi likaJehova eJerusalema.

Ngokuba ushiyile abantu bakho , indlu kaJakobe , lokhu begcwele ezasempumalanga, behlola imihlola njengamaFilisti , bexhawulana nabantwana babezizwe.

Ngokuba uJehova Sebawoti unosuku ol uyakuba phezu kwakho konke okuzidlayo nokuzikhukhumezayo, naphezu kwakho konke okuphakemeyo , kuthotshiswe,

Bayekeni abantu okusemakhaleni abo kukhona ukuphefumula nje , ngokuba babalwa njengantoni na?

Kepha lezi aniyikuzidla kwezetshisayo nakwezahlukanisa inselo: ikamela, ngokuba liyetshisa, lingahlukanisi kodwa inselo; lingcolile kini;

nembila, ngokuba iyetshisa, ingahlukanisi kodwa inselo; ingcolile kini;

nonogwaja, ngokuba uyetshisa, engahlukanisi kodwa inselo; ungcolile kini;

nengulube, ngokuba iyahlukanisa inselo , idabula inselo kabili, ingetshisi kodwa; ingcolile kini.

Zonke ezihamba ngesisu , nazo zonke ezihamba ngezinyawo ezine noma ngeziningi, nazo zonke ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni , ningazidli, ngokuba ziyisinengiso.

Ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ; ngalokho zingcweliseni, nibe ngcwele, ngokuba mina ngingcwele ; ningazingcolisi ngezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni.

Ngokuba nginguJehova owakukhuphula ezweni laseGibit he, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu; ngalokho yibani ngcwele, ngokuba ngingcwele.

bheka, kuluchoko oludala esikhumbeni senyama yakhe ; khona umpristi uyakusho athi ungcolile, angamvaleli, ngokuba ungcolile.

Uma ibala elikhanyayo limi endaweni yalo , lingandi esikhumbeni, kodwa lifiphele, kuyidunguza lesibazi ; umpristi makasho athi uhlambulukile , ngokuba kuyisibanda sesibazi.

Woshisa ingubo, noma izintanjana eziqondileyo noma ezinqamulayo, noma eyoboya bezimbuzi noma eyelineni , noma into yesikhumba esikuyo isifo , ngokuba kuluchoko olubi; kuyakushiswa ngomlilo.

uyakuhlaba imvu yeduna endaweni lapho kuhlatshwa khona umnikelo wesono nomnikelo wokushiswa, indawo engcwele, ngokuba umnikelo wecala ungowompristi njengomnikelo wesono; ungcwelengcwele.

Uma umpristi engena azobheka , isifo singandile en dlini emva kokunamekwa kwendlu , bheka, khona umpristi uyakusho athi indlu ihlambulukile, ngokuba isifo sipholile.

UJehova wathi kuMose : Khuluma ku-Aroni umfowenu ukuba angangeni njalo endaweni engcwele ngaphakathi kwesihenqo ngaphambi kwesihlalo somusa esiphezu komphongolo , ukuze angafi , ngokuba ngiyakubonakala efwini phezu kwesihlalo somusa.

Ngokuba ngalolo suku niyakwenzelwa ukubuyisana ukuba nihlanjululwe; niyakuhlambuluka ezonweni zenu zonke phambi kukaJehova.

Ngokuba umphefumulo womzimba usegazini ; ngimnike lona e -altare ukwenzela imiphefumulo yenu ukubuyisana , lokhu kuyigazi elenza ukubuyisana ngomphefumulo.

Ngokuba umphefumulo wenyama yonke , igazi layo lihlangene nomphefumulo wayo ; ngalokho ngathi kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli: Maningadli igazi lenyama noma iyiphi , ngokuba umphefumulo wenyama yonke uyigazi layo; yilowo nalowo oyidlayo uyakunqunywa.

Ungambuli ubunqunu bendodakazi yendodana yakho n oma obendodakazi yendodakazi yakho ; awuyikwambula ubunqunu babo , ngokuba obabo bungubunqunu bakho.

Ungambuli ubunqunu bukadadewabo kanyoko , ngokuba uyisihlobo sikanyoko.

Ungambuli ubunqunu bowesifazane kanye nobendodakazi yakhe ; ungathathi indodakazi yendodana yakhe , noma indodakazi yendodakazi yakhe ukwambula ubunqunu bayo, ngokuba bayizihlobo; kungukonakala.

Ningazingcolisi nangeyodwa yalezo zinto , ngokuba ngazo zonke lezo zingcolile lezi zizwe engizixosha phambi kwakho.

ngokuba zonke lezo zinengiso bazenza abantu balelo zwe ababekhona ngaphambi kwenu, izwe selangcola

Ngokuba bonke abenza lezo zinengiso , yebo, abazenzayo bayakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.

Yisho kuyo yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa -Israyeli, uthi kuyo : Niyakuba ngcwele, ngokuba mina Jehova uNkulunkulu wenu ngingcwele.

yilowo na lowo owudlayo uyakuthwala ububi bakhe , ngokuba udumazile okungcwele kukaNkulunkulu; lowo muntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.

Olala nowesifazane oyisigqilakazi eyingoduso , engahlengiwe, engakhululiwe ngesihle , makabe nesijeziso , angabulawa nokho , ngokuba wayengakhululekile.

Umfokazi ogogobeleyo kini uyakuba kini njengowokuzalwa ekhaya phakathi kwenu , umthande njengalokhu uzithanda wena , ngokuba naningabafokazi ezweni laseGibithe; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

Ngiyakubeka ubuso bami bumelane nalowo muntu , ngimnqume kubantu bakubo, ngokuba unikela ngenzalo yakhe kuMoloki ukungcolisa indlu yami engcwele nokuhlambalaza igama lami elingcwele.

Ngalokho zingcweliseni nibe ngcwele, ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

Ngokuba yilowo nalowo othuka uyise noma unina wobulawa nokubulawa ; uthukile uyise noma unina; igazi lakhe liyakuba phezu kwakhe.

Ungambuli ubunqunu bukadadewabo kanyoko , noma obukadadewabo kayihlo, ngokuba unqunisile isihlobo sakhe; bayakuthwala ububi babo.

Aniyikuhamba ngamasiko esizwe engisixosha phambi kwenu , ngokuba benza zonke lezo zinto; ngalokho nganengwa yibo.

Niyakuba ngcwele kimi , ngokuba mina Jehova ngingcwele ; nginahlukanisile nabezizwe ukuba nibe ngabami.

Bayakuba ngcwele kuNkulunkulu wabo , bangahlambalazi igama likaNkulunkulu wabo , ngokuba banikela ngeminikelo yomlilo kaJehova , isinkwa sikaNkulunkulu wabo; ngalokho bayakuba ngcwele.

Angathathi ow esifazane oyisifebe nowonakeleyo , angathathi owesifazane olahliwe yindoda yakhe, ngokuba ungcwele kuNkulunkulu wakhe.

Ngalokho uyakumngcwelisa , ngokuba unikela ngesinkwa sikaNkulunkulu wakho; uyakuba ngcwele kuwe , ngokuba mina Jehova oningcwelisayo ngingcwele.

futhi angaphumi endlini engcwele , angahlambalazi indlu engcwele kaNkulunkulu wakhe; ngokuba umqhele wamafutha okugcoba kaNkulunkulu wakhe uphezu kwakhe; nginguJehova.

Akayikuhlambalaza inzalo yakhe phakathi kwabantu bakhe ; ngokuba nginguJehova oningcwelisayo.

Ngokuba umuntu oyisilima akayikusondela : impumputhe noma unyonga , noma onekhala eliyisicaba, noma ozitho zakhe zingalingene,

Kuphela akayikungena kuso isihenqo , futhi angasondeli e -altare, ngokuba uyisilima, ukuze angahlambalazi izindlu zami ezingcwele , ngokuba nginguJehova obangcwelisayo.

Selishonile ilanga uyakuba ngohlambulukile , andukuba adle izinto ezingcwele, ngokuba ziyisinkwa sakhe.

bangabethwesi ububi obutholisa icala , lapho bedla izinto zabo ezingcwele ; ngokuba nginguJehova obangcwelisayo. Imithetho yemihlatshelo

Noma yintoni enesici aniyikunikela ngayo ; ngokuba aniyikwamukeleka ngayo.

Aniyikwamukela esandleni sowezizwe , ninikele ngezinjalo zibe yisinkwa sikaNkulunkulu wenu , ngokuba ukonakala kwazo kukuzo , zinobulima; aniyikwamukeleka ngazo.

Ningasebenzi msebenzi ngalolo suku , ngokuba kulusuku lokubuyisana ukunenzela ukubuyisana phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

Ngokuba yilowo nalowo muntu ongathotshiswa ngalolo suku uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.

Ziyakuba ngezika-Aroni nezamadodana akhe , bazidlele endaweni engcwele, ngokuba zingcwelengcwele , zingezakhe phakathi kweminikelo yomlilo kaJehova ngesimiso esiphakade. Isijeziso sohlambalaza uNkulunkulu

Niyakuba nomthetho munye kumfokazi nakowokuzalwa ekhaya ; ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

Ngokuba uyijubili; uyakuba ngcwele kini, nidle izithelo zawo zasensimini.

Ngobuningi beminyaka uyakwandisa intengo y alo nangobuncane beminyaka uyakunciphisa intengo yalo ; ngokuba uthengisa kuwe ngenani lezithelo.

Aniyikudlana, kepha uyakwesaba uNkulunkulu wakho , ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.

Akuyikuthengiswa ngezwe kuze kub e phakade, ngokuba izwe lingelami , nina-ke ningabafokazi nabagogobeleyo kimi.

Uma umuntu ethengisa ngendlu yokuhlala emzini onogange , angayihlenga ungakapheli umnyaka selokhu wathengisa n gayo, ngokuba umnyaka wonke uyakuba nelungelo lokuyihlenga.

Uma umLevi engahlengi , indlu okwathengiswa ngayo nomuzi wefa lakhe kuyakuphuma ngejubili, ngokuba izindlu zemizi yamaLevi ziyifa lawo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Izwe lamadlelo emizi yawo akunakuthengiswa ngalo , ngokuba liyifa lawo kuze kube phakade.

Ngokuba bayizinceku zami engazikhipha ezweni laseGibithe ; akuyikuthengiswa ngazo zibe yizigqila.

Ngokuba abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bayizinceku kimi ; bayizinceku zami engazikhipha ezweni laseGibithe; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

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

nami ngiyakwenza lokhu kini ; ngiyakunehlisela ingebhe nesifuba nomkhuhlane oyakuqeda amehlo , udangalise umphefumulo ; niyakuhlwanyela ngeze imbewu yenu, ngokuba izitha zenu ziyakuyidla.

Amandla enu ayakuchithwa ngeze, ngokuba izwe lakini aliyikuthela ukudla kwalo, nemithi yezwe ayiyikuthela izithelo zayo.

Izwe liyakushiywa yibo , lithokoze ngamasabatha alo , lisahlezi lichithekile, lingenabo; bayakwamukela isijeziso sobubi b abo, ngokuba, yebo, ngokuba balahla izahlulelo zami nangokuba umphefumulo wabo wanengwa yizimiso zami.

Kepha uma kunjalo , sebekhona ezweni lezitha zabo , angiyikubalahla, nginganengwa yibo , ukuze ngibaqothule , ngisaphule isivumelwano sami nabo, ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo;

Ngokuba uJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

Ngokuba onke amazibulo angawami ; ngalolo suku engabulala ngalo onke amazibulo ezweni laseGibithe ngazingcwelisela amazibulo onke kwa-Israyeli, awabantu nawezilwane; ayakuba ngawami; nginguJehova.

indoda iyakuletha umkayo kumpristi , imlethele umnikelo wakhe , ube ngokweshumi kwe-efa lempuphu yebhali , angatheli mafutha kuyo, angabeki nanhlaka kuyo , ngokuba kungumnikelo w empuphu wesikhwele , umnikelo wempuphu wesikhumbuzo sokukhumbuza ngobubi.

Akayikuzingcolisa ngoyise noma ngonina , noma ngomfowabo noma ngodadewabo, nxa befile, ngokuba isithembiso sakhe sobuNaziri sisekhanda lakhe.

umpristi uyakunike la ngelinye libe ngumnikelo wesono nangelinye libe ngumnikelo wokushiswa , amenzele ukubuyisana , ngokuba wona ngenxa yofileyo; abesengcwelisa ikhanda lakhe ngalolo suku.

Uyakwahlukanisela kuJehova izinsuku zobuNaziri bakhe , alethe imvu yeduna enomnyaka munye, ibe ngumnikelo wecala; kepha izinsuku zakuqala ziyakuba yize, ngokuba ubuNaziri bakhe bungcolisiwe.

Kepha amadodana kaKohati akawanikanga lutho , ngokuba inkonzo yendlu engcwele yayiyiwo eyawo; ayithwala emahlombe awo.

Ngokuba mina nginikiwe wona phakathi kwabantwana bakwa -Israyeli; esikhundleni sakho konke okuvula isizalo , amazibulo abo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngizithabathele wona.

Ngokuba onke amazibulo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli angawami, awabantu nawezilwane ; mhla ngishaya amazibulo onke ezweni laseGibithe ngazingcwelisela wona.

Kepha umuntu ohlambulukileyo , engekho ekuhambeni , oyeka ukulenza iphasika, lowo muntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo , ngokuba akanikelanga ngomnikelo kaJehova ngesikhathi esinqunyiweyo ; lowo muntu uyakuthwala ububi bakhe.

Ngokuba bheka, iNkosi uJehova Sebawot i iyasusa eJerusalema nakwaJuda uzime nodondolo, lonke uzime lwesinkwa nalo lonke uzime lwamanzi:

ngalona lolo suku uyakudazuluka athi : Angiyikuba ngumelaphi , ngokuba endlini yami akukho sinkwa, akukho ngubo; ningangibeki umbusi wabantu.

Ngokuba iJerusalema likhubekile, noJuda uwile, lokhu izilimi zabo nezenzo zabo ziphambene noJehova ukucunula amehlo enkazimulo yakhe.

Ukukhetha kwabo ubuso kuyafakaza ngabo ; benza izono zabo obala njengeSodoma, abazifihli. Maye kuyo imiphefumulo yabo ! Ngokuba bazenzele okubi.

Yishoni kolungileyo ukuthi kuyakuba kuhle kuye , ngokuba bayakudla izithelo zezenzo zabo.

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

UJehova uyakudala phezu kwayo yonke indawo y entaba yaseSiyoni naphezu kwemihlangano yayo ifu nomusi emini nokukha nya kwelangabi lomlilo ebusuku, ngokuba phezu kwayo yonke inkazimulo kuyakuba khona isivikelo.

UMose wathi kuHobabi indodana kaRehuweli wakwaMidiyani , umukhwe kaMose: Siya endaweni ashilo ngay o uJehova , wathi: Ngiyakuninika yona. Woza wena , uhambe nathi , siyakukwenzela okuhle , ngokuba uJehova ukhulumile okuhle ngo-Israyeli.

Igama laleyo ndawo laqanjwa ngokuthi iThabe hera, ngokuba umlilo kaJehova washa phakathi kwabo.

Ngingathathaphi inyama ukubanika bonke laba bantu na? Ngokuba bakhala kimi, bathi: Siphe inyama ukuba sidle.

Anginakuthwala bonke laba bantu ngedwa, ngokuba kuyangisinda.

Yisho kubantu ukuthi : Zingcweliseleni olwangakusasa, niyakudla inyama, lokhu nikhalile ezindlebeni zikaJehova ngokuthi : Ngubani oyakusipha inyama ukuba sidle , ngokuba kwakukuhle kithi eGibithe , ngalokho uJehova uyakuninika inyama, nize nidle.

kepha inyanga epheleleyo , ize iphume ngamakhala enu , inengeke kini , ngokuba nimlahlile uJehova ophakathi kwenu , nakhala phambi kwakhe ngokuthi: Saphumelani eGibithe na?

Igama laleyo ndawo laqanjwa ngokuthi iKibiroti Hathawa , ngokuba bambela abantu abafisayo.

UKalebi wathulisa abantu phambi kukaMose , wathi: Masenyuke khona manje, silidle, ngokuba sinamandla okulinqoba.

Kepha amadoda ayenyuke naye athi: Asinakwenyuka, sihlasele labo bantu, ngokuba banamandla kunathi.

Kodwa ningahlubuki kuJehova, futhi ningesabi abantu balelo zwe ; ngokuba bayisinkwa kithi ; umthunzi wabo usukile phezu kwabo , kodwa uJehova unathi; ningabesabi.

UMose wathi kuJehova : Khona abaseGibithe bayakukuzwa , ngokuba wakhuphula laba bantu ngamandla akho phakathi kwabo,

Ngokuba uJehova ebengenamandla okungenisa abantu bakhe ezweni alifungela kubo, ngalokho ubabulele ehlane.

Bavuka ekuseni kakhulu , benyukela esiqongweni sentaba , bathi: Bhekani, sesilapha, kepha siyakuya endaweni ayithembisile uJehova, ngokuba sonile.

Ningenyuki, ngokuba uJehova akakho phakathi kwenu, ukuba ningashaywa ebusweni bezitha zenu.

Ngokuba ama-Amaleki namaKhanani alapho ngaphambi kwenu ; niyakuwa ngenkemba, lokhu nibuyele emuva ekumlandeleni uJehova ; ngalokho uJehova akayikuba khona phakathi kwenu.

Umpristi uyakuyenzela yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa -Israyeli ukubuyisana, baze bathethelelwe , ngokuba kwakungengamabomu , futhi balethile umnikelo wabo , umnikelo womlilo k uJehova, nomnikelo wabo wesono phambi kukaJehova ngesiphosiso sabo;

yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa -Israyeli iyakuthethelelwa kanye nomfokazi ogogobeleyo kubo , ngokuba kubo bonke abantu kwakungesiphosiso.

Ngokuba udelele izwi likaJehova, nomyalo wakhe uwaphulile; lowo muntu uyakunqunywa impela, ububi bakhe bube phezu kwakhe. Ukukhandwa ngamatshe kowaphulile umyalelo wesabatha

Bambeka ukuba alindwe, ngokuba kwakungakanqunywa ukuthi kuyakwenziwani kuye.

UMose wathi : Niyakwazi ngalokhu ukuthi uJehova ungithumile ukwenza yonke le misebenzi, ngokuba angiyenzanga ngowami umqondo.

Bonke abakwa -Israyeli ababebazungeza babaleka ngokukhala kwabo , ngokuba bathi: Funa umhlaba usigwinye nathi.

Yisho ku-Eleyazare indodana ka-Aroni umpristi ukuba akhiphe imicengezi yomlilo ekusheni, wena uwuhlakaze umlilo laphaya, ngokuba ingcwele,

imicengezi yalaba boni abone imiphefumulo yabo ibe ngongcwecwe abakhandiweyo abayak ulimboza i -altare, ngokuba banikela ngayo phambi kukaJehova; ngalokho ingcwele ; iyakuba luphawu kubantwana bakwa - Israyeli.

UMose wathi ku -Aroni: Thatha umcengezi wakho womlilo , ubeke kuwo umlilo wase -altare, ufake impepho ngaph ezulu, ukuyise masinyane kuyo inhlangano, uyenzele ukubuyisana, ngokuba kuphume intukuthelo kuJehova; isifo sesiqalile.

Uyakuloba igama lika -Aroni entongeni kaLevi , ngokuba kuyakuba yintonga inye kuleyo naleyo nhloko yezindlu zawoyise.

Ngokuba okweshumi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli abanikela ngakho, kube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova , ngikunikile amaLevi kube yifa lawo; ngalokho ngishilo kuwo, ngathi: Phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli aniyikuba nafa.

Niyakukudlela ezindaweni zonke , nina nabezindlu zenu , ngokuba kungumvuzo wenu ngomsebenzi wenu etendeni lokuhlangana.

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

Kepha umuntu ongcolayo engaziphothuli, lowo muntu uyakunqunywa phakathi kwebandla, ngokuba ungcolisile indlu engcwele kaJehova ; amanzi okuphothula akafafazwanga ngawo; ungcolile.

Lokhu kwakungamanzi aseMeriba , ngokuba abantwana bakwa -Israyeli balwa noJehova, wangcweliswa kubo. U-Edomi uvimbela u-Israyeli

U-Aroni uyakubuthelwa kubantu bakhe , ngokuba akayikungena ezweni engibanike lona abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, lokhu nahlubuka ezwini lami ngasemanzini aseMeriba.

Abantu bakhuluma kabi ngoNkulunkulu nangoMose, bathi: Nisikhuphuleleni eGibithe ukuba sifele ehlane na ? Ngokuba akukho sinkwa , akukho manzi ; umphefumulo wethu uyanengwa yilesi sinkwa esilulana.

Abantu bafika kuMose , bathi: Sonile, ngokuba sikhulume kabi ngoJehova nangawe; khuleka kuJehova ukuba asuse izinyoka kithi . UMose wabakhulekela abantu.

Basuka lapho , bamisa ngaphesheya kwe -Arinoni elisehlane , elivela emkhawulweni wama -Amori, ngokuba i -Arinoni lingumkhawulo welakwaMowabi, phakathi kwelakwaMowabi nama-Amori.

U-Israyeli wamnqoba ngosiko lwenkemba , wadla izwe lakhe , kusukela e- Arinoni kuze kufike eJaboki nakubo abantwana bakwa-Amoni, ngokuba umkhawulo wabantwana bakwa-Amoni wawunamandla.

Ngokuba iHeshiboni lalingumuzi kaSihoni inkosi yama -Amori owayelwile nenkosi endala yakwaMowabi , wathatha lonke izwe lakhe esandleni sakhe kwaze kwafika e-Arinoni.

ngokuba umlilo uphumile eHeshiboni ; ilangabi livelile emzini kaSi honi; liqedile i-Ari lakwaMowabi nabakhe emadulini ase-Arinoni.

UJehova wathi kuMose: Ningamesabi, ngokuba ngimnikele esandleni sakho kanye nabantu bakhe bonke nezwe lakhe ; uyakwenza kuye njengalokho wenza kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori owahlala eHeshiboni.

UMowabi wayesesaba kakhulu abantu , ngokuba babebaningi ; uMowabi waba nosizi ngenxa yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

ngalokho ake uze manje , ungiqalekisele laba bantu, ngokuba bayangahlula; mhlawumbe ngingaze ngibe namandla ukuba sibanqobe , ngibaxoshe ezweni, ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi ombusisayo ubusisiwe, nomqalekisayo uqalekisiwe.

UNkulunkulu wathi kuBileyamu : Awuyikuhamba nawo ; awuyikuqalekisa abantu, ngokuba babusisiwe.

UBileyamu wavuka ekuseni , wathi kuzo izikhulu zikaBalaki : Buyelani ezweni lakini, ngokuba uJehova uyangalela ukuba ngihambe nani.

ngokuba ngiyakukunika udumo olukhulu , nakho konke ongitshela khona ngiyakukwenza; ake uze ngalokho manje, ungiqalekisele laba bantu.

Intukuthelo kaNkulunkulu yavutha ngokuba wahamba ; ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yema endleleni ukuba imelane naye . Wayekhwele imbongolo yakhe, izinceku zakhe ezimbili zinaye.

UBileyamu wathi embongolweni : Ngokuba ungiswabulele; sengathi ngabe kukhona inkemba esandleni sami, ngokuba ngabe sengikubulele.

Ingelosi kaJehova yathi kuye : Uyishayeleni imbongolo yakho kathathu na ? Bheka, ngiphumele ukumelana nawe, ngokuba indlela yakho iyingozi phambi kwami;

Wathi uBileyamu k uyo ingelosi kaJehova : Ngonile; ngokuba bengingazi ukuthi umi endleleni umelene nami; ngalokho uma kukubi emehlweni akho , ngiyakubuyela emuva.

Ngokuba ngisesiqongweni samadwal a ngiyambona, ngisemadulini ngiyambuka; bheka, kungabantu abahlala bodwa, abangayikubalwa phakathi kwezizwe.

ngokuba babiza abantu ukuba beze emihlatshelweni yawonkulunkulu babo ; abantu badla, bakhothamela onkulunkulu babo.

Ngokuba bonke abenza kanjalo , bonke abenza ukungalungi, bayisinengiso kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho. Icala lama-Amaleki

Makaqalekiswe olala nomkayise , ngokuba wambulile umphetho wengubo kayise. Bonke abantu bayakusho ukuthi: Amen.

Uyakuphuma nembewu eningi , uye ensimini , ubuthe okuyingcosana , ngokuba kuyakudliwa yisikhonyane.

Uyakutshala izivini, uzisebenze, kepha awuyikuliphuza iwayini , ungabuthi izithelo zomvini, ngokuba umswenya uyakuzidla.

Uyakuba neminqumo phakathi kwemikhawulo yakho yonke , ungazigcobi nokho ngamafutha, ngokuba izithelo zeminqumo yakho ziyakuvuthuluka.

Uyakuzala amadodana namadodakazi , kepha awayikuba ngawakho , ngokuba ayakuthunjwa.

Zonke lezi ziqalekiso ziyakukwehlela , zikuxoshe, zikufice, uze ubhujiswe, ngokuba awulilalelanga izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukuba ugcine imiyalo yakhe nezimiso zakhe abekuyala ngakho,

ukuba angabaniki inyama yabantwana bakhe abadlayo ngokuba engasalelwanga lutho olunye ekuvinjezelweni nasekuxinekeni eziyakukuxina ngakho izitha zakho kuwo onke amasango akho.

nakumzanyama wakhe ophuma phakathi kwezinyawo zakhe , nakubantwana bakhe ayakubazala , ngokuba uyakubadla ngasese e kusweleni kwakhe ekuvinjezelweni nasekuxinekeni eziyakukuxina ngakho izitha zakho kuwo onke amasango akho.

Niyakushiywa nibe yingcosana , ingani naningangezinkanyezi zezulu ngobuningi, ngokuba awulilalelanga izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.

ngokuba nina niyazi ukuthi sahlala ezweni laseGibithe nokuthi sad lula phakathi kwezizwe enadabula kuzo,

Bese kuthiwa: Ngokuba basishiya isivumelwano sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise asenzayo nabo ekubakhipheni kwakhe ezweni laseGibithe,

UJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakukwandisa emisebenzini yonke yesandla sakho, nasenzalweni yesisu sakho , nasenzalweni yezinkomo zakho , nasezithelweni zomhlabathi wakho, kube kuhle, ngokuba uJehova uyakubuye athokoze ngawe ukuba kube kuhle njengokuthokoza kwakhe ngawoyihlo,

Ngokuba lo myalo eng ikuyala ngawo namuhla awulukhuni kuwe , awukude.

ukuba umthande uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho , ulilalele izwi lakhe , unamathele kuye , ngokuba lokho kungukuphila kwakho nobude bezinsuku zakho, ukuze uhlale ezweni uJehova alifungela oyihlo, o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe, ukubanika lona.

Qinani, nime isibindi , ningesabi, ningashaywa luvalo ngabo , ngokuba uJehova u Nkulunkulu wakho nguyena ohamba nawe ; akayikukuyeka, akushiye.

UMose wambiza uJoshuwa , wathi kuye emehlweni abantu bonke bakwa - Israyeli: Qina, ume isibindi, ngokuba uyakuhamba nalaba bantu, uye ezweni uJehova afunga koyise ukubanika lona ; wena uyakwenza ukuba balidle ifa lalo.

Intukuthelo yami iyakubavuthela ngalolo suku , ngibashiye, ngifihle ubuso bami kubo ; bayakudliwa, behlelwe ngokubi nezinhlupheko eziningi , baze bathi ngalolo suku : Lokhu okubi akusehlelanga yini ngokuba uNkulunkulu wethu engekho phakathi kwethu na?

Ngokuba lapho sengibangenisile ezweni engalifungela o yise, elivame ubisi nezinyosi, badle, basuthe, bakhuluphale, bayakuphendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu, babakhonze, bangidelele, basaphule isivumelwano sami.

Kuyakuthi lapho sebehlelwe ngokubi nezinhlupheko eziningi , leli hubo lifakaze phambi kwabo njengofak azi, ngokuba aliyikukhohlakala emilonyeni yenzalo yabo , lokhu ngiyazi imicabango yabo abayicabangayo namanje , ngingakabangenisi ezweni engalifungela bona.

Wamyala uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni , wathi: Qina, ume isibindi, ngokuba wena uyakubangenisa abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ezweni engalifungela bona ; mina ngiyakuba nawe.

Ngokuba mina ngiyakwazi ukwambuka kwakho nentamo yakh o elukhuni; bheka, ngisekhona nani namuhla niyahlubuka uJehova ; kuyakuba kakhulu kangakanani emva kokufa kwami na?

Ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi emva kokufa kwami niyakona nokona , niphambuke endleleni enginiyale ngayo, ububi bunehlele ngezinsuku ezizayo, ngokuba niyakwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , nimthukuthelise ngemisebenzi yezandla zenu.

ngokuba ngiyakumemezela igama likaJehova : mnikeni uNkulunkulu wethu ubukhulu.

Uyidwala, umsebenzi wakhe uphelele , ngokuba zonke izindlela zakhe zingukulunga; unguNkulunkulu wokuthembeka ongenakonakal a; ulungile, uqotho yena.

Ngokuba isabelo sikaJehova singabantu bakhe ; uJakobe uyisiqephu sefa lakhe.

Wayesethi: Ngiyakubafihlela ubuso bami , ngibone ukugcina kwabo ukuthi kuyakuba yini ; ngokuba bayisizwe esiphambeneyo , abantwana okungekho kubo ukukholwa.

Ngokuba umlilo uphenjiwe entukuthelweni yami ; uyasha kuze kube sendaweni yabafileyo engaphansi , uqede umhlaba nezithelo zawo , wokhele izisekelo zezintaba.

Ngokuba bayisizwe esimasu aso aphelile, akukho ukuqonda kubo.

Ngokuba idwala labo alinjengeDwala lethu; nezitha zethu ziyakubona.

Ngokuba umvini wab o ungumvini waseSodoma nowamasimu aseGomora; izithelo zabo ziyizithelo zenyongo, amahlukuzo abo amunyu;

Ngeyami impindiselo nembuyisel o ngesikhathi sokushelela konyawo lwabo, ngokuba usuku lwabo lwengozi selusondele , izinto abazilungiselweyo ziyakuphuthuma.

Ngokuba uJehova uyakubahlulela abantu bakhe , azihawukele izinceku zakhe, lapho ebona ukuthi amandla abo aphelile, kungekho omunye ovalelweyo noma okhululekileyo.

Ngokuba ngiyaphakamisela isandla sami ezulwini , ngithi: Mina ngiyaphila kuze kube phakade:

Yenanelani abantu bakhe nina zizwe , ngokuba uyakuphindisela igazi lezinceku zakhe, abuyisele impindiselo kwabamelene naye, enzele izwi lakhe nabantu bakhe ukubuyisana.

Ngokuba akusiyo into eyize kini ; lokho kungukuphila kwenu, nangale nto niyakuzandisa izinsuku zenu ezweni eniwela iJordani ukuba ningene kulo ukulidla.

ngokuba naphambuka kimi phakathi kwabantwana bakwa -Israyeli ngasemanzini aseMeriba laseKadeshi ehlane laseSi ni, lokhu ningangingcwelisanga phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

owathi ngoyise nangonina : Angibabonanga, angabavuma futhi abafowabo , angabazi abantwana bakhe , ngokuba baliqaphele izwi lakho , bagcina isivumelwano sakho.

Bayakubizela izizwe entabeni , bahlabele khona imihlatshe lo yokulunga; ngokuba bayakumunca inala yezilwandle , nengcebo ethukusiweyo yesihlabathi.

Wazikhethela isabelo sokuqala , ngokuba sasigodliwe lapho isabelo somahluleli; wahamba nezinhloko zabantu , wafeza ukulunga kukaJehova , nezahlulelo zakhe kanye no-Israyeli.

UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni wayegcwele umoya nokuhlakanipha , ngokuba uMose wayebekile izandla zakhe phezu kwakhe ; abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bamlalela-ke, benza njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.

Qina, ume isibindi , ngokuba uyakwenza ukuba laba bantu badle izwe engalifungela oyise ukubanika lona.

Le ncwadi yomthetho mayingasuki emlonyeni wakho, kepha wozindla ngayo imini nobusuku ukuba uqaphele ukwenza njengakho konke okulotshwe kuyo, ngokuba lapho uyakuhlahlamelisa indlela yakho, uphumelele kahle.

Angikuyalile na ? Qina, ume isibindi , ungesabi, ungabi naluvalo , ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho unawe nomaphi lapho uya khona.

Dabulani phakathi kwekamu, niyale abantu, nithi: Zilungiseleni umphako, ngokuba emva kwezinsuku ezintathu niyakuwela leli Jordani , ningene ukuba nilidle izwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu aninika lona ukuba nilizuze. Isiyalezo sikaJoshuwa ukuba izizwe zasempumalanga zisize ukunqoba izwe elingasentshonalanga kweJordani

Inkosi yaseJeriko yathumela kuRahabi, yathi: Khipha lawo madoda afikile kuwe, angena endlini yakho, ngokuba ezile ukuzohlola izwe lonke.

kwathi ngesikhathi sokuvalwa kwesango lapho sekumnyama , amadoda aphuma; angazi ukuthi ayaphi lawo madoda ; sheshani niwaxoshe, ngokuba niyakuwafica.

Ngokuba sizwile ukuthi uJehova womisa amanzi oLwandle Olubomvu phambi kwenu ekuphumeni kwenu eGibithe nokuthi wenzani kuwo amakhosi amabili ama -Amori ayengaphesheya kweJordani , oSihoni no -Ogi, enawaqothulayo.

Sathi sikuzwa lokho , izinhliziyo zethu zaphela amandla , akwabe kusabakho sibindi kumuntu phambi kwenu , ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu unguNkulunkulu ezulwini phezulu nasemhlabeni phansi.

Wayesewehlisa ngentambo ngasefasiteleni , ngokuba indlu yakhe yayingasogangeni lomuzi, wahlala ngasogangeni.

Nokho kuyakuba khona ibanga phakathi kwenu nawo , lingangezingalo eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili ngokulinganisa, ningasondeli kuwo, ukuba nazi indlela eniyakuhamba ngayo, ngokuba anidlulanga ngale ndlela phambili.

UJoshuwa wathi kubantu : Zingcweliseni, ngokuba kusasa uJehova uyakwenza izimangaliso phakathi kwenu.

ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu wawamisa amanzi aseJordani phambi kwenu, naze nawela, njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu wenza eLwandle Olubomvu, alomisa phambi kwethu, saze sawela,

Ngokuba bonke abantu abaphuma babesokiwe , kepha bonke abant u abazalwa ehlane ngasendleleni ekuphumeni kwabo eGibithe babengabasokanga.

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

Abantwana bawo abavusa esikhundleni sawo bona uJoshuwa wabasoka , ngokuba babengabangasokile, lokhu bengabasokanga endleleni.

Isikhulu sebandla likaJehova sathi kuJoshuwa : Khumula isicathulo sakho onyaweni lwakho , ngokuba indawo omi kuyo ingcwele . UJoshuwa wenze njalo-ke.

Kwathi ngokwesikhombisa abapristi sebebethile amacilongo, uJoshuwa wathi kubantu: Khamulukani, ngokuba uJehova uninikile umuzi.

Umuzi uyakwahlukaniselwa uJehova , wona nakho konke okukuwo ; uRahabi isifebe kuphela uyakusinda , yena nabo bonke abakuye endlini , ngokuba wazithukusa izithunywa esazithumayo.

Abuyela kuJoshuwa , athi kuye : Mabangakhuphuki bonk e abantu ; makuhambe amadoda kungathi izinkulungwane ezimbili noma ezintathu , alichithe i -Ayi; ungabakhathazi bonke abantu ngokuya khona , ngokuba bayingcosana nje.

Ngokuba amaKhanani nabo bonke abakhileyo ezweni bayakukuzwa , basihaqe, banqume igama lethu emhlabeni ; uyakwenzela ntoni igama lakho elikhulu na?

Ngalokho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli abanakuma phambi kwezitha zabo , bayafulathela izitha zabo , ngokuba sebeqalekisiwe; angisayikuba nani, uma ningachithi okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwenu.

Suka ungcwelise abantu, uthi: Zingcweliseleni ingomuso, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli usho kanje, uthi: Kukhona okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwakho, Israyeli; awunakuma phambi kwezitha zakho , ningakakususi okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwenu.

Kuyakuthi othathwayo enokuqalekisiweyo ashiswe ngomlilo , yena nakho konke anakho, ngokuba eqile isivumelwano sikaJehova nangokuba esebenzile ubuwula kwa-Israyeli.

Ngokuba lithi: Izikhulu zami zonke azisiwo amakhosi na?

kunakho konke yibani nokuthandana okunganqamukiyo , ngokuba uthando lusibekela inqwaba yezono;

Uma nithukwa ngenxa yegama likaKristu , nibusisiwe, ngokuba uMoya wenkazimulo nokaNkulunkulu uhlezi phezu kwenu.

Ngokuba makungabikho kini ohlupheka ngokuba engumbulali , noma eyisela, noma engowenza okubi, noma engozigaxa ezindabeni zabanye;

kepha uma ehlupheka ngokuba engumKristu, makangabi namahloni, kepha makadumise uNkulunkulu ngenxa yalelo gama.

Ngokuba sekuyisikhathi sokuba ukwahlulela kuqale endlini kaNkulunkulu ; kepha uma kuthathela kithina , kuyakuba yini ukuphela kwabangalaleli ivangeli likaNkulunkulu na?

Bayakuphuma, basilandele, size sibasuse emzini, ngokuba bayakusho ukuthi: Babaleka phambi kwethu njengakuqala, bese sibaleka phambi kwabo;

niyakusuka ekuqamekeleni, niwudle umuzi, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu uyakuwunikela esandleni senu.

UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa : Yelulela umkhonto osesandleni sakho ngase - Ayi, ngokuba ngiyakulinikela esandleni sakho . UJoshuwa welul ela-ke umkhonto osesandleni sakhe ngasemzini.

Ngokuba nxa uJoshuwa nabo bonke abakwa -Israyeli bebona ukuthi abaqamekeleyo bawuthathile umuzi nokuthi umusi womuzi wenyuka , base bebuyela emuva, bawabulala amadoda ase-Ayi.

Bathi kuye : Izinceku zakho zivela ezweni elikude kakhulu ngenxa yegama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho , ngokuba siluzwile udumo lwakhe , nakho konke akwenzayo eGibithe,

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ababachithanga, ngokuba izikhulu zenhlangano zazifungile kubo uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli. Yonke inhlang ano yakhonona ngezikhulu.

besaba kakhulu , ngokuba iGibeyoni lalingumuzi omkhulu njengomunye wemizi yamakhosi nangokuba lalilikhulu kune -Ayi, onke amadoda alo engamaqhawe.

Khuphukelani kimi, ningisize sichithe iGibeyoni , ngokuba lenzile ukuthula noJoshuwa nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Amadoda aseGibeyoni athumela kuJoshuwa ekamu laseGiligali , athi: Ungayekethisi isandla sakho ezincekwini zakho ; shesha ukhuphukele kithi usisindise, usisize, ngokuba onke amakhosi ama -Amori akhile ezintabeni asihlanganyele.

UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa : Ungabesabi, ngokuba ngibanikele ezandleni zakho; akuyikubakho muntu wabo ongema phambi kwakho.

Aluzange lube khona usuku olunjengalo ngaphambi kwalo noma ngasemva kwalo lokuba uJehova alilalele izwi lomuntu, ngokuba uJehova wamlwela u- Israyeli.

kepha ningemi nina ; xoshani izitha zenu , nibulale ezingasemuva , ningazivumeli ukuba zingene emizini yazo , ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu uzinikele esandleni senu.

UJoshuwa wathi kuzo : Ningesabi, ningabi naluvalo; qinani, nime isibindi, ngokuba uJehova uyakwenza kanjalo kuzo zonke izitha zenu enilwa nazo.

Onke lawo makhosi nezwe lawo uJoshuwa wakuthatha ngasikhathi sinye , ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli walwela u-Israyeli.

UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa : Ungesabi ngenxa yabo , ngokuba kusasa ngalesi sikhathi ngizakubanikela bonke bebulewe ngaphambi kuka -Israyeli; wena uyakunquma amahhashi abo imisipha, uzishise izinqola zabo ngomlilo.

UJoshuwa wabuya ngaleso sikhathi, wathatha iHasori, wabulala inkosi yalo ngenkemba, ngokuba iHasori laliyinhloko yayo yonke leyo mibuso kuqala.

Ngokuba kwavela kuJehova ukwenza lukhuni izinhliziyo zabo ukuba bahlangabezane no -Israyeli ngokulwa , ukuze abaqothule , angabahawukeli, kepha abachithe, njengalokho uJehova ebemyalile uMose.

Ngokuba uMose wayezinikile izizwe ezimbili nenxenye yesizwe ifa ngaphesheya kweJordani, kepha amaLevi akawanikanga ifa phakathi kwabo.

Ngokuba abantwana bakwaJosefa ba be yizizwe ezimbili , oManase no - Efrayimi; abawanikanga amaLevi isabelo ezweni , kuphela imizi ukuhlala kuyo, namadlelo ayo ezinkomo zawo, neyemfuyo yawo.

UMose wafunga ngalolo suku , wathi: Impela izwe unyawo lwakho olunyathele kulo liyakuba yifa lakho nelabantwana bakho kuze kube phakade, ngokuba umlandele uJehova uNkulunkulu wami ngokupheleleyo.

Ngalokho nginike manje le ntaba uJehova akhuluma ngayo ngalolo suku , ngokuba wezwa wena ngalolo suku ukuthi ama -Anaki ayelapho enemizi emikhulu ebiyelweyo ; mhlawumbe uJehova uyakuba nami , ngiwaxoshe njengokukhuluma kukaJehova.

Ngalokho iHebroni laba yifa likaKalebi indodana kaJefuni, umKhenizi, kuze kube namuhla , ngokuba wamlandela uJehova uNk ulunkulu ka -Israyeli ngokupheleleyo.

Lesi siyisabelo sesizwe sakwaManase , ngokuba wayeyizibulo likaJosefa . UMakiri-ke, izibulo likaMa nase, uyise kaGileyadi , wathola elakwaGileyadi neBashani, lokhu eyindoda yempi.

ngokuba amadodakazi kaManase aba nefa phakathi kwamadodana akhe ; izwe lakwaGileyadi laba ngelamanye amadodana kaManase.

kepha izintaba ziyakuba ngezakho ; noma ziyihlathi , woligawula; namaphethelo alo mawabe ngawakho , ngokuba uyakuwaxosha amaKhanani, nakuba enezinqola zensimbi nakuba enamandla.

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.

Ifa labantwana bakwaSimeyoni lavela esabelweni sabantwana bakwaJuda , ngokuba isabelo sabantwana bakwaJuda sasisikhulu kubo ; ngalokho abantwana bakwaSimeyoni babenefa phakathi kwefa labo. Isabelo sakwaZebuloni

Uma umphindiseli wegazi emxosha , awayikumnikela umbulali esandleni sakhe, ngokuba wambulala umakhelwane wakhe kungengamabomu ebekade engamzondi.

yaba ngeyabantwana bakwa -Aroni bemindeni yamaKohati ayengamaLevi ; ngokuba inkatho yokuqala yaba ngeyabo.

UFinehasi indodana ka-Eleyazare umpristi wathi kubantwana bakwaRubeni nakubantwana bakwaGadi nakubantwana bakwaManase : Namuhla siyazi ukuthi uJehova uphakathi kwethu , ngokuba anenzanga lesi siphambeko kuJehova; manje senophulile abantwana bakwa -Israyeli esandleni sikaJehova.

nibonile konke uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akwenzile kuzo zonke lezi zizwe ngenxa yenu, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu nguye onilweleyo.

Ngokuba uJehova uxoshile ngaphambi kwenu izizwe ezinkulu ezinamandla, kepha nina, akukho muntu omile phambi kwenu kuze kube namuhla.

Umuntu oyedwa uxoshile inkulungwane , ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu nguye onilwelayo, njengalokho ebekhuluma kini.

Ngokuba uma nibuyela emuva , ninamathele ensalini yalezo zizwe , zona lezi ezisele phakathi kwenu, niganiselane nazo, ningene kuzo, nazo kini,

ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu nguye owasikhuphula thina nawobaba ezweni laseGibithe, indlu yobugqila, nowazenza lezo zibonakaliso emehlweni ethu, wasilondoloza endleleni yonke esahamba ngayo, naphakathi kwabo bonke abantu esadlula phakathi kwabo.

UJehova waxosha phambi kwethu bonke abantu , nama-Amori futhi ayehlala ezweni ; ngalokho nathi siyakumkhonza uJehova , ngokuba unguNkulunkulu wethu.

UJoshuwa wathi kubantu : Aninakumkhonza uJehova , ngokuba unguNkulunkulu ongcwele ; unguNkulunkulu onomhawu , akayikuthethelela iziphambeko zenu nezono zenu.

Kepha abantu bathi kuJoshuwa: Qha, ngokuba siyakumkhonza uJehova.

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.

kepha ama-Asheri ahlala phakathi kwamaKhanani ayakhe kulelo zwe , ngokuba abawaxoshanga.

Ama-Amori adudulela abantwana bakwaDani ezintabeni , ngokuba awabavumelanga ukwehlela esigodini.

Nabahluleli ababalalelanga, ngokuba baya baphinga nabanye onkulunkulu, babakhothamela; baphambuka masinyane endleleni abahamba ngayo oyise , belalela imiyalo kaJehova; bona abenzanga njalo. Isimo sesikhathi sabahluleli

Lapho uJehova ebavusela abahluleli , uJehova wayenaye umahluleli , wabasindisa esandleni sezitha zabo izinsuku zonke zomahluleli , ngokuba uJehova waba nesihe ngokubulawa kwabo ngenxa yababacindezelayo nababakhathazayo.

Intukuthelo kaJehova yavuthela u-Israyeli, wathi: Ngokuba lesi sizwe seqile isivumelwano sami engabayala ngaso oyise, singalalelanga izwi lami,

kwangena nesibambo emva kwenkemba , amanoni azungeza inkemba , ngokuba akayikhiphanga inkemba esiswini sakhe; yaphumela emuva.

Wathi kubo : Ngilandeleni, ngokuba uJehova u nikele izitha zenu abakwaMowabi esandleni senu ! Behla emva kwakhe , bavimba amazibuko aseJordani ababewela ngawo abakwaMowabi , abavumanga ukuba kuwele muntu.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bakhala kuJehova , ngokuba wayenezinqola ezingamakhulu ayisishiyagalolunye zensimbi ; wacindezela kakhulu abantwana bakwa-Israyeli iminyaka engamashumi amabili.

Wathi kuye: Impela ngiyakuhamba nawe, kodwa indlela oyakuhamba ngayo ayiyikuba ngeyodumo lwakho , ngokuba uJehova uyakumthengisa uSisera esandleni sowesifazane . Wayesesuka uDebora , wahamba noBaraki , baya eKedeshi.

UDebora wathi kuBaraki: Vuka, ngokuba yilolu suku uJehova anikele ngalo uSisera esandleni sakho; uJehova akaphumanga phambi kwakho na? UBaraki wehla entabeni yaseThabori nabantu abayizinkulun gwane eziyishumi e mva kwakhe.

Kepha uSisera wabaleka ngezinyawo , wafika etendeni likaJayeli umkaHebere umKheni, ngokuba kwakukhona ukuthula phakathi kukaJabini inkosi yaseHasori nendlu kaHebere umKheni.

Wayesethi kuye : Ake ungiphuzise ingcosana yamanzi , ngokuba ngomile . Wavumbulula igabha lobisi, wamphuzisa, wamembesa.

UJayeli umkaHebere wayesethatha isikhonkwane setende, waphatha isando ngesandla, wanyonyobela kuye , wambethela esikhaleni sendlebe ngesikhonkwane, sagqobhoza, saphumela emhlabathini , ngokuba wayelele ubuthongo obukhulu ediniwe; wafa kanjalo.

Ngokuba abaholi beholil e kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba abantu bezinikela ngenhliziyo, bongani uJehova.

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

Ngokuba benyuka nezinkomo zabo namatende abo, bafika njengesikhonyane ngobuningi; babengenakubalwa bona namakamela abo; bafika ezweni ukuba baliqede.

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

Base bethi abantu bomuzi kuJowashi : Khipha indodana yakho ukuba ife , ngokuba ilibhidlizile i -altare likaBali nangokuba imgawul ile u -Ashera owayengakulo.

Ngalokho ngalolo suku wambiza ngokuthi uJerubali , ethi: UBali makalwe naye ngokuba elibhidlizile i-altare lakhe. Ukuqala kokukhululwa kwabakwa-Israyeli nguGideyoni

Kwaba njalo, ngokuba wavuka ekuseni ngangomuso, wabucindezela uboya, wakhama amazolo eboyeni, kwagcwala isitsha amanzi.

Wenze njalo uNkulunkulu ngalobo busuku , ngokuba kwakomile eboyeni bodwa, kepha emhlabathini wonke kwakukhona amazolo.

Kwathi ngalobo busuku uJehova wathi kuye: Vuka wehlele ekamu, ngokuba sengilinikele esandleni sakho.

Kwathi uGideyoni ekuzwa ukulandwa kwephupho nokuchazwa kwalo , wakhuleka; wabuyela ekamu lakwa-Israyeli, wathi: Vukani, ngokuba uJehova unikele esandleni senu impi yakwaMidiyani.

Wayesethi kubantu baseSukoti : Ake niphe abantu abangilandelayo izinkwa, ngokuba bayethile, ngisaxosha oZeba noSalimuna amakhosi akwaMidiyani.

OZeba noSalimuna babeseKarkori , izimpi zabo zinabo kungathi abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nanhlanu, bonke ababesele empini yonke yabasempumalanga, ngokuba kwakuwile abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amabili abahloma inkemba.

Wayesethi kuJetheri izibulo lakhe: Suka ubabulale . Kepha umfana kahoshanga inkemba yakhe, ngokuba wesaba lokhu engumfana.

Base bethi oZeba noSalimuna : Suka wena , usihlasele, ngokuba njengendoda anjalo amandla ayo . Wayesesuka uGideyoni, wababulala oZeba noSalimuna, wathatha izimbe du ezinjengenyanga ezazisezintanyeni zamakamela abo. UGideyoni uyala ukubekwa inkosi

Abantu bakwa-Israyeli bathi kuGideyoni : Sibuse, wena nendodana yakho , nendodana yendodana yakho futhi , ngokuba usisindisile esandleni sakwaMidiyani.

UGideyoni wayenamadodana angamashumi ayisikhombisa aphuma okhalweni lwakhe, ngokuba wayenabafazi abaningi.

Abafowabo bakanina base bekhuluma ngaye ezindlebeni zabo bonke abantu baseShekemi onke lawo mazwi ; izinhliziyo zabo zathanda ukumlandela u - Abimeleki, ngokuba bathi: Ungumfowethu.

Waya endlini kayise e -Ofira, wabulala abafowabo , amadodana kaJerubali, abantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa etsheni linye , kepha kwasala uJothamu indodana encinyane kaJerubali, ngokuba wacasha.

ngokuba ubaba wanilwela wazidela , wanophula esandleni sabakwaMidiyani;

kepha niyivukele namuhla indlu kababa , nibulele amadodana akhe, abantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa etsheni linye , nimbekile u -Abimeleki indodana yesigqilakazi sakhe inkosi yabaseShekemi ngokuba engumfowenu;

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhala kuJehova, bathi: Sonile kuwe, ngokuba simshiyile uNkulunkulu wethu, sakhonza oBali.

UmkaGileyadi wamzalela amadodana ; esekhulile amadodana omkakhe amxosha uJefta , athi kuye : Awuyikulidla ifa endlini kababa, ngokuba uyindodana yomunye owesifazane.

Inkosi yabantwana bakwa -Amoni yath i kuzo izithunywa zikaJefta : Ngokuba u-Israyeli walithatha izwe lakithi ekukhuphukeni kwakhe eGibithe , kusukela e -Arinoni kuze kube seJaboki naseJordani , buyisani lawo mazwe ngokuthula.

Ngokuba ekukhuphukeni kwabo eGibithe , u-Israyeli ehamba ehlane waze wafika eLwandle Olubomvu, wafika naseKadeshi,

Wayesehamba ehlane, wazungeza izwe lakwa-Edomi nezwe lakwaMowabi, weza ngasempumalanga kwezwe lakwaMowabi , wamisa ngaphesheya kwe - Arinoni; kepha abangenanga emkhawulweni wakwaMowabi , ngokuba i - Arinoni lalingumkhawulo wakwaMowabi.

Kwathi lapho eyibona , waklebhula izingubo zakhe , wathi: Hawu, mntanami, ungithobisile kakhulu , ungomunye wabangihluphayo , ngokuba ngivulile umlomo kuJehova, angisenakubuya.

UJefta wayesebutha bonke abantu bakwaGileyadi , walwa no -Efrayimi; abantu b akwaGileyadi bamahlula u -Efrayimi, ngokuba bathi : Ningababalekileyo bakwa-Efrayimi nina bakwaGileyadi phakathi kwabakwa - Efrayimi naphakathi kwabakwaManase.

bathi kuye : Shono uthi : S hiboleti, abesethi: Siboleti, ngokuba engaqaphelanga ukuliphimisa kahle ; base bembamba , bambulala ngasemazibukweni aseJordani ; kwawa ngaleso sikhathi abakwa -Efrayimi abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane nambili. Ukufa kukaJefta

ngokuba bheka , uyakukhulelwa, uzale indodana , impuco ayiyikuthinta ekhanda layo , ngokuba umntwana uyakuba ngumNaziri kaNkulunkulu kwasesizalweni; uyakuqala ukusindisa u-Israyeli esandleni samaFilisti.

Kepha wathi kimi : Bheka, uyakukhulelwa, uzale indodana ; ngakho ungaphuzi wayini naluphuzo olunamandla , ungadli lutho olungcolileyo , ngokuba umntwana uyakuba ngumNaziri kaNkulunkulu kwasesizalweni kuze kube sosukwini lokufa kwakhe.

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

UManowa wathi kumkakhe : Siyakufa nokufa, ngokuba simbonile uNkulunkulu.

Uyise nonina base bethi kuye : Akakho yini owesifazane phakathi kwamadodakazi abafowenu noma phakathi kwabo bonke abantu bami, ukuze uye kuthatha umfazi kumaFilisti angasokile , na? USamsoni wathi kuyise : Ngithathele yena, ngokuba uyathandeka kimi.

Kepha uyise nonina babengazi ukuthi lokho kwavela kuJehova , ngokuba wayefuna ithuba lokulwa namaFilisti . Ngaleso sikhathi amaFilisti ayebusa phezu kuka-Israyeli.

Uyise wehla , waya kulowo wesifazane , uSamsoni wenza idili khona , ngokuba zazenze njalo izinsizwa.

Wakhala phambi kwakhe izinsuku eziyisikhombisa , lisekhona idili labo ; kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa wayesemtshela, ngokuba wamcindezela kakhulu; wayisho imfumbe kwabakubo.

AmaFilisti ayesethi : Ngubani okwenzile lokho na ? Bathi: NguSamsoni, umkhwenyana wowaseThimna , ngokuba yena uthathe umkakhe , wamnika umngane wakhe. AmaFilisti akhuphuka, amshisa yena noyise ngomlilo.

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.

Amakhosi amaFilisti abuthana ukuba ahlabele uDagoni unkulunkulu wawo umhlatshelo omkhulu, athokoze, ngokuba athi: Unkulunkulu wethu unikele uSamsoni isitha sethu esandleni sethu.

Abantu bambona, bamtusa unkulunkulu wabo, ngokuba bathi: Unkulunkulu wethu unikele esandleni sethu isitha sethu nomchithi wezwe lakithi obulele abaningi phakathi kwethu.

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

Amakamelo ezinhlangothi aba banzi ekukhuphukeni njalo nxazonke , ngokuba okuzungeza indlu kwakhuphuka nja lo nxazonke zendlu ; ngalokho indlu yaba banzi ekukhuphukeni njalo; kwakhushukwa ekamelweni eliphansi kwaze kwaba kweliphezulu ngeliphakathi.

Base bemuka labo bantu abayisihlanu , bafika eLayishi , babona abantu abakulo ukuthi basahlala belondekile ngendl ela yamaSidoni , benokuthula, bengenaluvalo, ngokuba kwakungekho ezweni onamandla ukuba abajabhise ngalutho; babekude namaSidoni, bengenandaba nabanye abantu.

Bathi: Sukani, senyukele kubo , ngokuba silibonile izwe ; bhekani, lihle kakhulu; niyathula yini? Ningenqeni ukuhamba, ningene ukuba nilidle izwe.

Nxa nihamba , niyakufika kubantu abalondekileyo , izwe libanzi , ngokuba uNkulunkulu ulinikele esandleni senu , indawo lapho ku ngekho khona ukuswela lutho olusemhlabeni.

Kwakungekho owophulayo, ngokuba wawukude neSidoni; babengenandaba nabanye abantu ; wawusesigodini esingaseBeti Rehobe. Bawakha umuzi , bahlala kuwo.

Baphambukela lapho ukuba bangene , balale eGibeya ; wangena, wahlala phansi esigcawini somuzi ; ngokuba kwakungekho muntu owabamukela endlini yakhe ukuba balale khona.

Ngase ngithatha isancinza sami, ngasihlahlela, ngasithuma ezweni lonke lefa lakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba babesebenzile ukona nobuwula kwa-Israyeli.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babuza kuJehova ngokuba umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wawulapho ngalezo zinsuku;

uFinehasi indodana ka -Eleyazare ka -Aroni wema phambi kwawo ngalezo zinsuku bathi: Siyakuphinda siphume ukuba silwe nabantwana bakwaBenjamini umfowethu, nokuba siyeke na? UJehova wathi: Khuphukani, ngokuba kusasa ngiyakubanikela esandleni sakho.

Abantu bakwa -Israyeli babuyela emuva empini ; uBenjamini wayeseqalile ukubulala nokuceka kubantu bakwa -Israyeli kungathi abantu abangamashumi amathathu, ngokuba bathi: Impela babulewe phambi kwethu njengasekulweni kwakuqala.

Base bephenduka abantu bakwa -Israyeli, nabantu bakwaBenjamini bashaywa luvalo, ngokuba babona ukuthi behlelwe ngububi.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bathi : Yisiphi phakathi kwazo zonke izizwe zakwa-Israyeli esin gakhuphukelanga ebandleni kuJehova na ? Ngokuba bebefungile isifungo esikhulu ngaye ongakhuphukeli kuJehova eMispa ukuthi wobulawa nokubulawa.

Abantu bamhawukela uBenjamini, ngokuba uJehova wayenze ukwahlukana ezizweni zakwa-Israyeli.

Kepha asinakubanika nokho amadodakazi ethu abe ngomkabo , ngokuba abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babefungile bethi : M akaqalekiswe onika owakwaBenjamini umfazi.

Kuyakuthi lapho oyise noma abanewabo befika ukuphikisana nathi , sithi kubo: Sinikeni wona ngomusa, ngokuba asithathanga, kwaba yilowo nalowo umkakhe empini, futhi anibanikanga wona; khona ngabe nitholile icala.

Wayesesuka nawomalokazana bakhe ukuba abuye ezweni lakwaMowabi , ngokuba wayezwile ezweni lakwaMowabi ukuthi uJehova uhambele abantu bakhe ukuba abaphe ukudla.

Buyani, madodakazi ami , nihambe, ngokuba sengimdala ukuba ngibe nomyeni. Noma ngangithi nginethemba , noma ngingaba nendoda kulobu busuku, ngizale amadodana,

beningawahlalela aze abe n gakhulileyo na ? Beniyakuzivimbela ningabi namadoda na? Hhayi, madodakazi ami, kumunyu kimi ngenxa yenu, ngokuba isandla sikaJehova siphumele kimi.

Kepha uRuthe wathi : Ungangincengi ukuba ngikushiye , ngibuye, ngingakulandeli, ngokuba lapho uya khona , ngiyakuya khona nami, nalapho uhlala khona , ngiyakuhlala khona nami ; abantu bakho bayakuba ngabantu bami, uNkulunkulu wakho abe nguNkulunkulu wami.

Lapho ufela khona , ngiyakufela khona nami , ngimbelwe khona ; uJehova akenze njalo kimi , enezele futhi , ngokuba ngukufa kuphela okuyakusahlukanisa.

Wathi kubo : Ningangibizi ngokuthi uNawomi ; ngibizeni ngokuthi uMara , ngokuba uSomandla ungiphathe ngomunyu omkhulu.

Wathi: Mangifumane umusa emehlweni akho, nkosi, ngokuba ungiduduzile nangokuba ukhulume kahle kuyo incekukazi yakho , noma ngingenjengenye yezincekukazi zakho.

Yathi: Ungubani? Wathi: NginguRuthe incekukazi yakho ; yembesa incekukazi yakho umphetho wengubo yakho, ngokuba ungumhlengi.

Yathi: Mawubusiswe nguJehova , ndodakazi yami ; ubonakalisile umusa ekugcineni kakhulu kunasekuqaleni, ngokuba awulandelanga izinsizwa , noma zimpofu noma zicebile.

Manje, ndodakazi yami , ungesabi; ngiyakukwenzela konke okushoyo , ngokuba wonke umuzi wabantu bakithi uyazi ukuthi ungowesifazane olungileyo.

Walala ngasezinyaweni zakhe kwaze kwasa, wavuka bengakazani. Ngokuba yathi: Makungaziwa ukuthi owesifazane wafika esibuyeni.

Wathi: Ingiphile lezi zilinganiso eziyisithupha zebhali , ngokuba yathi kimi: Ungayi kunyokozala ungaphethe lutho.

Wathi: Hlala, ndodakazi yami, uze wazi ukuba le ndaba iyakuphethelaphi , ngokuba leyo ndoda ayiyikuphumula ingakaqedi indaba namuhla.

bengithi ngiyakukwambulela kuwe , ngithi: Lithenge phambi kwabahleziyo lapha naphambi kwamalunga abantu bakithi ; uma ulithenga, lihlenge; kepha uma ungalithengi , ngitshele ukuba ngazi , ngokuba akakho ongalihlenga ngaphandle kwakho, mina ngisemva kwakho. Wayesethi: Ngiyakulihlenga.

Umhlengi wathi: Anginakuzihlengela lona, funa ngone ifa lami ; zihlengele wena, ngokuba anginakukuhlenga.

Uyakuba ngumbuyi si wokuphila kuwe , nomondli ebudaleni bakho , ngokuba umalokazana wakho okuthandayo , omuhle kuwe kunamadodana ayisikhombisa umzele.

kepha wanika uHana isabelo siphindwa kabili , ngokuba wayemthanda uHana, kepha uJehova wayesivalile isizalo sakhe.

Isitha sakhe samncokoloza kakhulu ukuba amthukuthelise, ngokuba uJehova wayesivalile isizalo sakhe.

Ungasho ukuthi incekukazi yakh o ingowesifazane omubi , ngokuba kungobuningi bosizi lwami nangokuncokolozwa kwami ngikhulumile kuze kube manje.

Kepha uHana akenyukanga , ngokuba wathi kumyeni wakhe : Hhayi aze alunyulwe umntwana ; khona ngiyakumyisa ukuba abonakale phambi kukaJehova, ahlale khona njalo.

UHana wakhuleka wathi : Inhliziyo yami iyethaba kuJehova , uphondo lwami luphakeme kuJehova; umlomo wami ukhamisile phezu kwezitha zami, ngokuba ngenama ngensindiso yakho.

Akakho ongcwele njeng oJehova, ngokuba akakho noyedwa ngaphandle kwakho; futhi alikho idwala elinjengoNkulunkulu wethu.

Ningabe nisakhuluma ngokuzidla kangaka , kungaphumi ukuqhosha emlonyeni wenu , ngokuba uJehova unguNkulunkulu wokwazi ; izenzo zilinganiswa nguye.

Uyamvusa ompofu othulini , uyaphakamisa impabanga ezaleni , abahlalise nezikhulu, badle ifa lesihlalo sobukhosi , ngokuba izinsika zomhlaba zingezikaJehova; ubekile izwe phezu kwazo.

Uyakugcina izinyaw o zabathembekileyo bakhe , kepha ababi bayakuthuliswa ebumnyameni , ngokuba akukho muntu oyakwahlula ngamandla.

Yebo, bengakashisi amanoni , yafika inceku yompristi , yathi kumuntu ohlabayo: Letha inyama yokoselwa umpristi , ngokuba akayikuthatha kuwe inyama ephekiweyo kepha eluhlaza.

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

Wathi kuwo : Nenzelani izinto ezinjalo na ? Ngokuba ngiyezwa imisebenzi yenu emibi kubo bonke laba bantu.

Uma umuntu ona kumuntu , uNkulunkulu uyakumahlulela , kepha uma umuntu ona kuJehova , uyakulanyulelwa ngubani na ? Kodwa awalalelanga izwi likayise, ngokuba uJehova wayethanda ukuwabulala.

Ngalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli uthi: Ngasho nokusho ukuthi indlu yakho nendlu kayihlo yohamba phambi kwami kuze kube phakade . Kepha manje uJehova uthi : M akube kude nami , ngokuba abangidumisayo ngiyakubadumisa; abangidelelayo bayakweyiswa.

U-Eli wathi kuSamuweli : Hamba, ulale; kuyakuthi uma ekubiza , usho ukuthi: Khuluma, Jehova, ngokuba inceku yakho iyezwa . Wayesehamba uSamuweli, walala endaweni yakhe.

UJehova wafika , wema, wambiza njengakwe zinye izikhathi : Samuweli, Samuweli! USamuweli wathi: Khuluma, ngokuba inceku yakho iyezwa.

Ngokuba ngimtshelile ukuthi ngiyakwahlulela indlu yakhe kuze kube phakade ngobubi abaziyo , lokhu amadodana akhe ayezehlisela isiqalekiso, engawakhuzanga.

UJehova waphinda wabonakala eShilo , ngokuba uJehova wazibonakalisa kuSamuweli eShilo ngezwi likaJehova.

AmaFilisti esaba, ngokuba athi: UNkulunkulu ufikile ekamu . Athi-ke: Maye kithina! Ngokuba akuzange kube khona okunje ngaphambili.

AmaFilisti alwa , u-Israyeli wachithwa , babaleka, kwaba yilowo nalowo etendeni lakhe; kwaba khona ukuceka okukhulu, ngokuba kwawa ku-Israyeli abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu aba yimigundatshani.

Ekufikeni kwakhe, bheka, u-Eli wayehlezi esihlalweni sakhe ngaseceleni komgwaqo, ngokuba inhliziyo yakhe yayithuthumela ngomphongolo kaNkulunkulu. Esengenile emzini lowo muntu , wakubika, wakhala umuzi wonke.

Kwathi esaphatha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu , wawa nyovane esihlalweni sakhe ngaseceleni kwesango , kwaphuka intamo yakhe , wafa, ngokuba wayengumuntu omdala, esinda. Wayebahlulele abakwa-Israyeli iminyaka engamashumi amane.

Umalokazana wakhe , umkaFinehasi, wayekhulelwe esezakubeletha ; esezwile umbiko wokuthi umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uthathiwe nokuthi kufile uyisezala nomyeni wakhe , wakhonkobala, wabeletha, ngokuba wafikelwa yimihelo.

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

Wamqamba umntwana ngokuthi u -Ikabodi, ethi: Inkazimulo isukile kwa - Israyeli, ngokuba umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uthathiwe, nangenxa kayisezala wakhe nomyeni wakhe.

Wathi: Inkazimulo isukile kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uthathiwe.

Abantu base -Ashidodi sebebona ukuthi kunjalo bathi : Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli awuyikuhlala kithi , ngokuba isandla sakhe silukhuni phezu kwethu naphezu kukaDagoni unkulunkulu wethu.

Bathuma babutha onke amakhosi amaFilisti , bathi: Wususeni umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, ubuyele endlini yawo , ukuba ungasibulali thina nabantu bakithi, ngokuba kwakukhona ukungquzuka okokufa emzini wonke; isandla sikaNkulunkulu sasinzima kakhulu khona.

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.

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.

Kwathi kusukela osukwini umphongolo owahlala ngalo eKiriyati Jeharimi , kwaba yisikhathi eside , ngokuba saba yiminyaka engamashumi amabili ; yonke indlu yakwa-Israyeli yakhalela uJehova.

Wayebuyela eRama, ngokuba indlu yakhe yayilapho ; wahlulela u -Israyeli khona, wamakhela lapho uJehova i-altare.

UJehova wathi kuSamuweli : Lalela izwi labantu kukho konke abakushoyo kuwe, ngokuba akusuwe abakulahlileyo, kepha balahle mina, ukuze ngingabi yinkosi phezu kwabo.

Wayesethi uSawule kuyo inceku yakhe : Kepha bheka , uma siya khona , siyakulethani kulowo muntu na ? Ngokuba isinkwa siphelile ezitsheni zethu ; akukho nto esingayiyisa kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu; sinani, pho, na?

Endulo kwa -Israyeli, lapho umuntu ebeyakubuza kuNkulunkulu , washo wathi: Woza siye kumboni ; ngokuba lo othiwa umprofethi manje wabizwa kuqala ngokuthi umboni.

Abaphendula athi : Ukhona; nangu ngaphambi kwakho ; shesha kodwa , ngokuba ufikile namuhla emzini , lokhu abantu benomhlatshelo namuhla endaweni ephakemeyo;

ekungeneni kwenu emzini niyakumfumana , engakenyukeli endaweni ephakemeyo ukuyokudla ; ngokuba abantu abayikudla engakafiki , lokhu nguye obusisa umhlatshelo , andukuba abamenyi weyo badle . Ngalokho-ke, khuphukani manje, ngokuba niyakumfumana ngalesi sikhathi.

Kusasa ngalesi sikhath i ngiyakuthuma kuwe umuntu wasezweni lakwaBenjamini; uyakumgcoba abe ngumholi wabantu bami u -Israyeli, asindise abantu bami esandleni samaFilisti , ngokuba ngibonile abantu bami , lokhu ukukhala kwabo kufikile kimi.

USamuweli wamphendula uSawule, wathi: Yimi engingumboni; khuphuka phambi kwam i, uye endaweni ephakemeyo , ngokuba niyakudla nami namuhla; ekuseni ngiyakukumukisa , ngikutshele konke okusenhliziyweni yakho.

Izimbongolo zakho esezinezinsuku ezintathu zilahlekile, ungabeki inhliziyo yakho kuzo , ngokuba zitholiwe . Ngokukabani konke oku nxanelekayo kwa - Israyeli na? Akusikho okwakho nokwendlu yonke kayihlo na?

Umpheki waphakamisa umlenze nokwakuphezu kwawo, wawubeka phambi kukaSawule. USamuweli wathi: Nakhu ohlinzekwe ngakho. Kubeke phambi kwakho, udle, ngokuba kugcinelwe wena kuze kufike lesi sikhathi , njengalokho ngit he ngimemile abantu . USawule wayesedla noSamuweli ngalolo suku.

Kuyakuthi lapho lezo zibonakaliso sezifikile kuwe , wenze esikufumanayo isandla sakho, ngokuba uNkulunkulu unawe.

USawule wathi : Akuyikubulawa muntu namuhla , ngokuba namuhla uJehova usebenzile ukusindiswa kwa-Israyeli.

Bakhala kuJehova , bathi: S onile, ngokuba simshiyile uJehova , sakhonza oBali no -Ashitaroti; kodwa kalokhu sophule esandleni sezitha zethu , siyakukukhonza.

Bonke abantu bathi kuSamuweli : Khulekela izinceku zakho kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukuba singafi, ngokuba senezele kuzo zonke izono zethu ububi bokuzicelela inkosi.

yebo, ningaphambuki ukuba nilandele izinto eziyize ezingenakusiza nezingenakophula, ngokuba ziyize.

Ngokuba uJehova akayikushiya abantu bakhe ngenxa yegama lakhe elikhulu, lokhu kwakukuhle kuJehova ukuzenzela nina nibe ngabantu bakhe.

Yesabani uJehova kuphela , nimkhonze ngeqiniso ngenhliziyo yenu yonke , ngokuba bhekani okukhulu anenzele khona.

Lapho abantu bakwa -Israyeli bebona ukuthi basengcingweni , ngokuba bacindezelwa kakhulu , abantu bacasha emihumeni , nasemahlozini, nasemaweni, nasezinqabeni, nasemigodini.

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

Kepha manje umbuso wakho awuyikuqhubeka ; uJehova usezifunele umuntu ngokwenhliziyo yakhe ; uJehova ummisile abe ngumholi wabantu bakhe, ngokuba ungagcinanga lokho uJehova akuyala ngakho.

Kwakungekho mkhandi ezweni lonke lakwa -Israyeli, ngokuba amaFilisti athi: Funa amaHeberu azenzele izinkemba nemikhonto.

UJonathani wathi odibini lwakhe oluphethe izikhali zakhe : Woza siwele , siye ekha ndeni lalabo abangasokile ; ingabe uJehova uyakusisebenzela , ngokuba akukh o okumthiyayo uJehova ukuba asindise ngabaningi noma ngabayingcosana.

Kepha uma bethi : Yenyukelani kithi , siyakwenyuka, ngokuba uJehova ubanikele esandleni sethu; lokhu kuyakuba yisibonakaliso kithi.

Abantu basekhandeni bamphendula uJonathani nodibi lwakhe , bathi: Khuphukelani kithi , siyakunifundisa indaba . UJonathani wayesethi odibini oluphethe izikhali zakhe : Khuphuka emva kwami , ngokuba uJehova ubanikele esandleni sakwa-Israyeli.

USawule wathi ku -Ahiya: Letha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu . Ngokuba umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wawukhona ngaleso sikhathi kwabakwa-Israyeli.

Abantu sebengenile ehlathini , bheka, izinyosi zaconsa, kepha akwabakho muntu obeka isandla emlonyeni, ngokuba abantu besaba isifungo.

Wayesethi uJonathani : Ubaba uhluphile izwe ; ake nibone ukuthi amehlo ami aseqabukile, ngokuba ngizwe ingcosana yalezi zinyosi.

Kakhulu kangakanani, uma abantu bebedlile impela impango yezitha zabo abayifumanayo, ngokuba nga engabulawanga kakhulu amaFilisti na?

Ngokuba, kuphila kukaJehova osindisa u -Israyeli, nokuba sikuJonathani indodana yami , uyakufa nokufa . Kepha akwabakho noyedwa owamphendulayo.

USawule wathi : Makenze njalo uNkulunkulu , enezele futhi , ngokuba uyakufa nokufa, Jonathani!

Abantu bathi kuSawule: Uyakufa yini uJonathani okwenzile lokho kusindisa okukhulu kwa-Israyeli na? Makube kude; kuphila kukaJehova, akuyikuwela phansi nolulodwa unwele lwekhanda lakhe , ngokuba usebenzile noNkulunkulu namuhla. Abantu bamhlenga ukuba angafi. USawule uyalwa nezizwe eziningi

USawule wathi kuma Kheni: Hambani nimuke , nehle kuwo ama -Amaleki, funa nginichithe kanye nawo , ngokuba nabenzela umusa bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ekukhuphukeni kwabo eGibithe . Ayesesuka amaKheni phakathi kwama-Amaleki.

Ngiyazisola ukuthi ngibekile uSawule inkosi , ngokuba ubuyile ekungilandeleni, kafezanga amazwi ami . USamuweli wathukuthela, wakhala kuJehova ubusuku bonke.

USawule wathi : Babuye nazo kuma -Amaleki, ngokuba abantu bayeka ezinhle zezimvu nezezinkabi ukuba bahlabele uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ; ezinye siziqedile nya.

Ngokuba ukwambuka kunjengesono sokubhula, nenkani ifana nokukhonza izithombe namatherafi. Ngokuba ulilahlile izwi likaJehova , naye ukulahlile wena ukuba ungabe usaba yinkosi.

USawule wayesethi kuSamuweli : Ngonile, ngokuba ngeqile isiyalezo sikaJehova namazwi akho, lokhu ngesaba abantu, ngalalela izwi labo.

USamuweli wathi kuSaw ule: Angiyikubuya nawe, ngokuba ulilahlile izwi likaJehova, naye uJehova ukulahlile wena ukuba ungabe usaba yinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli.

IThemba Lika -Israyeli aliyikuqamba amanga , lizisole, ngokuba alisiye umuntu ukuba lizisole.

UJehova wathi kuSamuweli : Uyakumkhalela kuze kube nini na ? Ngokuba ngimlahlile ukuba angabe esaba yinkosi phezu kuka -Israyeli. Gcwalisa uphondo lwakho ngamafutha , uhambe; ngiyakukuthuma kuJese waseBetlehema, ngokuba ngizibonele inkosi phakathi kwamadodana akhe.

Kepha uJehova wathi kuSamuweli : Ungabheki isimo sakhe nobude bomzimba wakhe, ngokuba ngimalile, lokhu uJehova engabuki si okomuntu; umuntu ubheka okusemehlweni, kepha uJehova ubheka okusenhliziyweni.

USamuweli wathi kuJese : Sebephelile abafana na ? Wathi: Kusasele omncane; bheka, uyalusa izimvu . USamuweli wathi kuJese : Thumela umlande, ngokuba asiyikubuya, engakafiki lapha.

Wathumela, wamngenisa. Wayebomvana enamehlo amahle , emuhle ngokubukwa. UJehova wathi: Suka umgcobe, ngokuba lona nguye.

USawule wathumela kuJese , wathi: Akeme phambi kwami uDavide , ngokuba ufumene umusa emehlweni ami.

Abantu bakwa -Israyeli bathi : Nimbonile lowo muntu o wenyukile na ? Ngokuba wenyukile ukuyakweyisa u-Israyeli; kuyakuthi umuntu ombulalayo, inkosi imcebise ngengcebo enkulu , imnike indodakazi yayo , iyenze indlu kayise ibe ngekhululekile kwa-Israyeli.

UDavide wakhuluma kubantu ababemi naye , wathi: Kuyakwenziwa ntoni kumuntu obulala lowo mFilisti , asuse ihlazo kwa -Israyeli, na? Ngokuba ngubani lowo mFilisti ongasokile ukuba ayeyise impi kaNkulunkulu ophilayo na?

U-Eliyabe umfowabo omkhulu wezwa lapho ekhuluma kubantu ; intukuthelo ka -Eliyabe yamvuthela uDavide, wathi: Wehleleni na? Uzishiye kubani leziya zimvu ezingengakanani ehlane na ? Mina ngiyakwazi ukuziphakamisa kwakho nobubi benhliziyo yakho , ngokuba wehlile ukuba ubuke impi.

USawule wathi kuDavide: Awunamandla okuya kulowo mFilisti, ulwe naye, ngokuba ungumfana nje, yena eyindoda yempi kwasebusheni bakhe.

UDavide wabhinca inkemba yakhe phezu kwezambatho zakhe , wazama ukuhamba, ngokuba wayengakazilingi . UDavide wathi k uSawule: Anginakuhamba nalezi, angikazilingi. UDavide wayesezikhumula.

UmFilisti esabuka wambona uDavide , wameyisa, ngokuba wayengumfana nje, ebomvana, ebukeka emuhle.

yazi yonke le nhlangano ukuthi uJehova akasindisi ngenkemba nangomkhonto; ngokuba ukulwa kungokukaJehova; uyakuninikela esandleni sethu.

OJonathani noDavide be nza isivumelwano , ngokuba wamthanda njengenhliziyo yakhe.

USawule wawuciba umkhonto , ngokuba wathi: Ngiyakumbhujela uDavide odongeni. Kepha uDavide washalaza phambi kwakhe kabili.

USawule wamesaba uDavide , ngokuba uJehova wayenaye , kepha wayesukile kuSawule.

Kepha wonke u -Israyeli noJuda bamthanda uDavide , ngokuba wayephuma engena phambi kwabo. UDavide umkhwenyana wenkosi

USawule wathi kuDavide : Bheka, indodakazi yami enkulu uMerabi ngiyakukunika yona ibe ngumkakho; yiba yiqhawe lami kuphela, ulwe izimpi zikaJehova. Ngokuba uSawule wathi: Isandla sami masingabi phezu kwakhe , kepha isandla samaFilisti masibe phezu kwakhe.

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

Uma uyihlo engifica ngingekho , wothi: U Davide wacela nokucela ukuba agijimele eBetlehema umuzi wakhe , ngokuba kukhona lapho umhlatsh elo weminyaka ngeminyaka owenzelwa wonke umndeni wakubo.

Ngalokho yenzela inceku yakho isihawu , ngokuba ungenisile inceku yakho esivumelwaneni sikaJehova nawe; kepha uma kukhona ububi kimi, ngibulale wena, ngokuba ubuyakungiyiselani kuyihlo na?

UJonathani wathi : Makube kude nawe , ngokuba uma bengazi nakanci ukuthi kunqunywe okubi ngubaba ukuba wehlelwe yikho , bengingayikukutshela na?

UJonathani waphinda wamfungisa ukumthanda kwakhe , ngokuba wamthanda njengokuba ethanda umphefumulo wakhe.

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

Bheka, ngiyakuthuma umfana ngokuthi : Hamba ufune imicibisholo . Uma ngithi kumfana: Bheka, imicibisholo inganeno kwakho, yithathe, woza wena, ngokuba ungaba nokuthula, akukho lutho, kuphila kukaJehova.

Kepha uma ngithi kanje kumfana: Bheka, imicibisholo ingalaphaya kwakho, hamba, ngokuba uJehova ukumukisile.

Kodwa uSawule akakhulumanga lutho ngalolo suku , ngokuba wacabanga ukuthi: Okuthile kumehlele; akahlambulukile, impela akahlambulukile.

wathi: Ake ungivumele ukuba ngihambe , ngokuba umndeni wakithi unomhlatshelo emzini ; umfowethu ungiyalile ; manje-ke, uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho , mangihambe ngibone abafowethu . Ngalokho akafikanga etafuleni lenkosi.

Ngokuba izinsuku zonke indodana kaJese isekhona emhlabeni awuyikuzinza nombuso wakho . Ngalokho thumela umlethe kimi , ngokuba ungowokufa yena.

UJonathani wasuka etafuleni evutha ulaka , akadlanga kudla ngosuku lwesibili lwenyanga , ngokuba wayenosizi ngenxa kaDavide, lokhu uyise emhlazisile.

Umpristi wayesemnika isinkwa esingcwele , ngokuba kwakungekho sinkwa lapho, isinkwa sokubukwa kuphela , ebesisusiwe phambi kukaJehova ukuba kubekwe isinkwa esisashisayo mhla sisuswa.

UDavide wathi ku -Ahimeleki: Akukho lapho phansi kwesandla sakho umkhonto noma inkemba na? Ngokuba angifikanga nenkemba yami nezikhali zami, ngokuba udaba lwenkosi lwalusheshisa.

Wayesethi umpristi : Inkemba kaGoliyati umFilisti owambulala esigodini sase-Ela, bheka, ilapho, isongiwe ngengubo emva kwengubo yamahlombe . Uma uthanda ukuyithatha, yithathe, ngokuba ayikho lapha enye ngaphandle kwayo. UDavide wathi: Ayikho enjengayo; nginike yona.

ngokuba ningenzele nonke ugobe , akwababikho ongitshelileyo lapho indodana yami yenza isivumelwano nendodana kaJese , akwababikho kini ongidabukelayo nongitshelayo ukuthi indodana yami ingivusele inceku yami ukuba ingiqamekele njenganamuhla.

Ngiqale namuhla yini ukumbuzela kuJehova na? Makube kude nami; inkosi mayingabeki cala encekwini yayo , nakuyo yonke indlu kaba ba, ngokuba inceku yakho ayazi lutho lwayo yonke le ndaba, oluncane noma olukhulu.

Inkosi yathi kuzo izigijimi ezazimi ngakuyo : Sondelani, nibulale abapristi bakaJehova, ngokuba nesandla sabo sinaye uDavide nangokuba bazi ukuthi uDavide wabaleka , bengakwambulelanga kimi . Kepha izinceku zenkosi azivumanga ukwelula isandla sazo ukuba zisukele abapristi bakaJehova.

Hlala kimi , ungesabi, ngokuba ofuna ukuphila kwami ufuna ukuphila kwakho, kepha uyakulondolozeka kimi.

UDavide waphinda wabuza kuJehova . UJehova wamphendula wathi : Suka wehlele eKeyila, ngokuba ngiyakunikela amaFilisti esandleni sakho.

Kwabikwa kuSawule ukuthi uDavide ufikile eKeyila . Wayesethi uSawule : UNkulunkulu umkhaphele esandleni sami , ngokuba uzivalele ngokungena emzini onamasango nemigoqo.

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

USawule wathi: Manibusiswe, ngokuba ningihawukele.

Manihambe, niqinise, nazi, nibone indawo yakhe lapho kukhona unyawo lwakhe nokuthi ubonwe ngubani khona , ngokuba ngitsheliwe ukuthi unobuqili impela.

USawule wahamba ngalapha kwentaba , uDavide nabantu bakhe bahamba ngale kwentaba; uDavide washesha wahamba ngokumesaba uSawule , ngokuba uSawule nabantu bakhe bahaqa uDavide nabantu bakhe ukuba bababambe.

Kepha kwafika isithunywa kuSawule , sithi: Shesha ufike , ngokuba amaFilisti angenele izwe.

Kwathi ngasemuva uDavide wahlabeka enhliziyweni , ngokuba wayesikile umphetho wengubo kaSawule.

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.

Futhi, baba, bheka, yebo, bheka, umphetho wengubo yakho usesandleni sami, ngokuba lokhu ngasika umphetho wengubo yakho ngingakubulalanga , yazi, ubone ukuthi akukho bubi nasiphambeko esandleni sami , angonanga kuwe, noma uqamekela ukuphila kwami ukuba ukuthathe.

Wayesethi kuDavide : Ulungile kunami , ngokuba wena ungiphindisele ngokuhle, kepha mina ngikuphindisele ngokubi.

Ngokuba uma umuntu efica isitha sakhe , uyasivumela ukuba sihambe ngendlela enhle na ? UJehova makakuphindisele ngokuhle ngokwenzileyo kimi namuhla.

Buza izinsizwa zakho , ziyakukutshela; ngalokho izinsizwa mazithole umusa emehlweni akho, ngokuba sifikile ngosuku oluhle ; ake unike izi nceku zakho nendodana yakho uDavide okungafunyanwa esandleni sakho.

Ngalokho yazi, ubone ukuthi uyakwenzani, ngokuba okubi sekunqunyelwe inkosi yethu nendlu yayo yonke , lokhu engumuntu omubi kangaka , ukuze umuntu angekhulume naye.

UDavide wayeshilo ukuthi : Impela ngikugcinele ize konke lowo muntu anakho ehlane ukuba angalahlekelwa lutho lwakho konke okwakhe, ngokuba ungibuyisele okubi ngokuhle.

Inkosi yami mayinganakekeli lowo muntu omubi uNabali , ngokuba unjengegama lakhe, unjalo yena; nguNabali igama lakhe, nobuwula bukuye; kepha mina ncekukazi yakho angizibonanga izinsizwa zenkosi yami owazithumayo.

Ake uthethelele icala lencekukazi yakho , ngokuba uJehova uyakuyenzela nokuyenzela inkosi yami indlu eqinileyo impela , lokhu inkosi yami ilwa izimpi zikaJehova; ububi abuyikufunyanwa kuwe zonke izinsuku zakho.

Ngokuba impela, kuphila kukaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ongivimbele ukuze ngingakulimazi , uma ungasheshanga ukuza ukuba ungihlangabeze , impela nga kungasalanga kuNabali ngasekuseni kusasa nokukodwa okungokwesilisa.

U-Abigayili wafika kuNabali ; bheka, wayenedili endlini yak he, linjengedili lenkosi; inhliziyo kaNabali yayithokoza phakathi kwakhe , ngokuba wayephuze kakhulu ; ngalokho akamtshelanga lutho oluncane nolukhul u kwaze kwaba sekuseni.

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

UDavide wayesethatha umkhonto nesigubhu samanzi ngasekhanda likaSawule, bahamba, kungaboni muntu, kungazi muntu, kungavuki muntu, ngokuba babelele bonke , lokhu bebehlelwe ngubuthongo obunzima obuvela kuJehova.

UDavide wathi ku -Abineri: Awusiye umuntu okungekho onjengawe kwa - Israyeli na ? Awulindanga ngani inkosi yakho , inkosi? Ngokuba kwafika omunye wabantu ukuyobulala inkosi yakho, inkosi.

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

Wathi: Inkosi yami iyixoshelani inceku yayo na ? Ngokuba ngenzeni na ? Ngububi buni obusesandleni sami na?

Ngalokho mayizwe inkosi yami , inkosi, amazwi enceku yayo . Uma nguJehova okuncokoloza ngami , makamukele umnikelo , kepha uma kungabantwana babantu , mabaqalekiswe phambi kukaJehova , ngokuba bangixoshile namuhla ukuba ngingazihlanganisi nefa likaJehova , bethi: Hamba ukhonze abanye onkulunkulu.

Ngalokho igazi lami malingaweli emhlabathini ngikude noJehova, ngokuba inkosi yakwa -Israyeli iphumele ukufuna intwakumba eyodwa , njengalokhu kuzingelwa intendele ezintabeni.

USawule wathi : Ngonile; buya, ndodana yami Davide , ngokuba angisayikukulimaza, lokhu ukuphila kwami bekuyigugu emehlweni akho namuhla; bheka, ngenze okwesiwula, ngidukile kakhulu.

UDavide wathi ku -Akhishi: Uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho , mabanginike indawo komunye wemizi yasemaphandleni ukuba ngihlale khona, ngokuba inceku yakho izakuhlalelani nawe emzini wenkosi na?

UDavide nabantu bakhe benyuka , bangenela amaGeshuri , namaGirizi, nama-Amaleki, ngokuba lawo ayakhe kulelo zwe kwasendulo ekuyiweni eShuri kuze kube sezweni laseGibithe.

Lapho owesifazane embona uSamuweli , wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu ; owesifazane wakhuluma noSawule , wathi: Ungikhohliseleni na ? Ngokuba unguSawule.

USamuweli wathi kuSawule : Unginyakaziselani ukuba ungenyuse na ? USawule waphendula wathi : Ngihluphekile kakhulu , ngokuba amaFilisti ayalwa nami ; uNkulunkulu ungishiyile , akasangiphenduli nangabaprofethi nangamaphupho; ngalokho ngikubizele ukuba ungazise ukuthi ngiyakwenze njani.

Ngokuba awulalelanga izwi likaJehova , awenzanga ulaka lwakhe olushisayo phezu kwama -Amaleki; ngalokho uJehova wenzile lokhu kuwe namuhla.

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

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.

UDavide wayehlupheka kakhulu , ngokuba abantu bekhuluma ngokumkhanda ngamatshe , lokhu izinhliziyo zabo bonke abantu zazinomunyu, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngenxa yamadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe ; kepha uDavide waziqinisa kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

UDavide wabuza kuJehova, wathi: Ngixoshe lelo viyo na ? Ngingalifica na? Wamphendula wathi: Xosha, ngokuba uyakulifica impela, ukhulule konke.

Kodwa UDavide waxosha , yena nabantu abangamakhulu amane , ngokuba abangamakhulu amabili basala emuva , bezukekile ukuze bangaweli umfudlana iBesori.

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.

Isifiso sevila siyalibulala, ngokuba izandla zalo ziyenqaba ukusebenza.

Oneso elimnene uyakubusiswa, ngokuba uyapha ompofu okwesinkwa sakhe.

Ngokuba kumnandi, uma ukugcina phakathi kwakho, kubekwe kanyekanye ezindebeni zakho.

Ungamphangi ompofu ngokuba empofu , ungamchobozi oswelayo esangweni,

ngokuba uJehova uyakumela indaba yabo , aphuce ababaphucayo umphefumulo wabo.

Amehlo akho ayandizela kulokho , kepha akusekho , ngokuba kuyazenzela impela amaphiko njengokhozi olundizela ezulwini.

ngokuba unjengozicabangelayo; uthi kuwe : Yidla uphuze , Kepha inhliziyo yakhe ayikho kuwe.

Ungakhulumi ezindlebeni zesiwula , ngokuba siyak udelela ukuhlakaniph a kwamazwi akho.

ngokuba umhlengi wazo unamandla; uyakumela indaba yazo kuwe.

Ungayeki ukumla ya umntwana , ngokuba uma umshaya ngoswazi akayikufa.

Ngokuba impela umvuzo ukhona, nethemba lakho aliyikunqunywa.

Ngokuba inseli noyisiminzi bayakuba mpofu ; ukozela kuyakwembathisa umuntu amanikiniki.

Ngokuba isifebe singumgodi ojulileyo , nowesifazane ondindayo ungumhholo onyinyeneyo.

Ngokuba izinhliziyo zabo ziceba ukuchitha, nezindebe zabo zikhuluma ngengozi.

Ngokuba ngokucabanga ungaphaka impi yakho , nokusinda kumi ngobuningi babeluleki.

Ndodana yami, yidla izinyosi, ngokuba zimnandi, noju oluhle emlonyeni wakho.

Ngokuba olungileyo angawa kasikhombisa , abesebuye avuke, kepha ababi bayakukhubeka ngobubi.

Ngokuba omubi akayikuba namvuzo, nesibani samashinga siyakucima.

Ngokuba ingozi yabo iyakuvuka masinyane ; ngubani owazi ukuchithwa kweminyaka yabo na? Amazwi ezihlakaniphi: isigaba sesibili

Ngubani oyakunilalela kule ndaba na ? Ngokuba njengesabelo sowehlele empini siyakuba n jalo isabelo salowo owasala nempahla ; bayakwabelwa ngokulingeneyo.

USawule wayesethi odibini lwezikhali zakhe : Hosha inkemba yakho , ungigwaze ngayo , funa labo abangasokile bafike , bangigwaze, bangone. Kepha aluvumanga udibi lwezikhali zakhe, ngokuba lwesaba kakhulu . Ngalokho uSawule wayithatha inkemba, wawela phezu kwayo.

Wathi kimi : Ake ume ngakimi , ungibulale, ngokuba ngishaywe yisiyezi, nokuphila kusekhona kimi.

Ngase ngima ngakuye , ngambulala, ngokuba ngakwazi ukuthi angephile esewile, ngathatha umqhele owawusekhanda lakhe , nesongo elalisengalweni yakhe, ngikulethile lapha enkosini yami.

Balila, bakhala, bazila ukudla kwaze kwahlwa ngenxa kaSawule , noJonathani indodana yakhe , nabantu bakaJehova, nendlu ka -Israyeli, ngokuba bebewile ngenkemba.

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

Nina zintaba zaseGilibowa, makungabikho mazolo namvula phezu kwenu , nokugubha kotwa , ngokuba isihlangu samaqhawe santshingwa , isihlangu sikaSawule, singagcotshwanga ngamafutha.

UDavide wayesethuma izithunywa kubantu baseJabeshi Gileyadi , wathi kubo: Manibusiswe nguJehova , ngokuba nenzile lowo musa kuyo inkosi yenu, uSawule, nammbela.

Manje uJehova makanenzele umusa neqiniso , nami nginibuyisele lowo musa, ngokuba niyenzile leyo nto.

Ngalokho maziqine izandla zenu , nibe nesibindi , ngokuba uSawule inkosi yenu ufile; indlu yakwaJuda ingigcobile ngibe yinkosi yayo.

Wayengenakumphendula u-Abineri ngezwi futhi, ngokuba wayemesaba.

kwenzeni lokho manje , ngokuba uJehov a ukhulumile ngoDavide ukuthi : Ngesandla senceku yami uDavide ngiyakusindisa abantu bami u -Israyeli esandleni samaFilisti nasesandleni sazo zonke izitha zabo.

Bheka, izinceku zikaDavide nezikaJowabe zabuya eviyweni , zaletha impango enkulu; kepha u-Abineri wayengekho kuDavide eHebroni , ngokuba wayemmukisile, wahamba ngokuthula.

OJowabe no -Abishayi umfowabo base bembulele u -Abineri, ngokuba wayebulele umfowabo u-Asaheli eGibeyoni empini.

Indodana kaSawule yayinamadoda amabili ayeyizinduna zamaviyo ; igama lenye lalinguBahana negama lenye lal inguRekabi, amadodana kaRimoni waseBeyeroti wabantwana bakwaBenjamini , ngokuba iBeyeroti libalelwa kuBenjamini.

UDavide waqhubeka njalo ngokukhula , ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti wayenaye.

UDavide wabuza kuJehova, wathi: Ngiyakwenyuka, ngihlasele amaFilisti na? Uyakuwanikela esandleni sami na ? UJehova wathi kuDavide : Yenyuka, ngokuba ngiyakuwanikela impela amaFilisti esandleni sakho.

Kuyakuthi lapho usuzwa umsindo wokuhamba ezihlokweni zamajikijolo , usheshe, ngokuba kuyilapho uJehova eyakube ephumile ngaphambi kwakho ukuchitha impi yamaFilisti.

Ekufikeni kwabo esibuyeni sikaNakoni u -Uza welulela isandla emphongolweni kaNkulunkulu, wawubamba, ngokuba izinkabi zashelela.

UDavide wadabuka ngokuba uJehova emhlasele u-Uza, wayibiza leyo ndawo ngokuthi iPheresi-Uza kuze kube namuhla.

UNathani wathi enkosini : Hamba wenze konke okusenhliziyweni yakho , ngokuba uJehova unawe.

Ngokuba angihlalanga ndlu kusukela osukwini engakhuphula ngalo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli eGibithe kuze kube namuhla, kepha ngangilokhu ngihamba etendeni nasetabernakele.

Ngalokho umkhulu , Nkosi Jehova , ngokuba akakho onjengawe , akukho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwakho njengakho konke esikuzwileyo ngezindlebe zethu.

Ngokuba wena Jehova Sebawoti , Nkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, wambulele endlebeni yenceku yakho ukuthi : Ngiyakukwakhela indlu; ngalokho inceku yakho ithole isibindi sokukhuleka lo mkhuleko kuwe.

ngalokho-ke mawuvume ukubusisa indlu yenceku yakho ukuba ibe sebusweni bakho kuze kube phakade , ngokuba wena Nkosi , Jehova, ukukhulumile; ngesibusiso sakho mayibusiswe indlu y enceku yakho kuze kube phakade.

uThoyi wathuma uJoramu indodana yakhe enkosini uDavide ukuyibingelela nokuyibusisa , ngokuba yayilwile noHadadezeri , yamnqoba, ngokuba uHadadezeri wayelokhu elwa noThoyi ; esandleni sakhe wayenezitsha zesiliva, nezitsha zegolide, nezitsha zethusi.

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

UMefibosheti wayesehlala eJerusalema , ngokuba wadla njalo etafuleni lenkosi; wayelunyonga ngezinyawo zakhe zombili.

Lapho sebemtshela uDavide lokho , wathumela ukuzihlangabeza , ngokuba ayenamahloni kakhulu lawo madoda . Yathi inkosi : Hlalani eJeriko , zize zihlume izilevu zenu, bese nibuya.

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

UDavide wayesethi kuso isithunywa : Uyakusho kanje kuJowabe , uthi: Le nto mayingabi mbi emehlweni akho , ngokuba inkemba idla omunye njengomunye; qinisa impi yakho ngasemzini, uwuchithe; bese wumqunga isibindi.

uyakulibuyisa ixhukazana, liphindwe kane, ngokuba enze lokho nangokuba wayengenasihawu.

Ngalokho inkemba ayiyikusuka endlini yakho , ngokuba ungidelele , wathatha umka-Uriya umHeti ukuba abe ngumkakho.

Ngokuba wena wakwenza ngasese , kepha mina ngiyakukwenza lokhu phambi kuka-Israyeli wonke naphambi kwelanga.

Nokho, ngokuba ngaleso senzo waveza ithuba elikhulu lokuba izitha zikaJehova zihlambalaze, umntwana omzalelweyo uyakufa nokufa.

Kwathi ngosuku lwes ikhombisa umntwana wafa . Izinceku zikaDavide zesaba ukumtshela ukuthi umntwana ufile , ngokuba zathi : Bhekani, umntwana esezwa sakhuluma kuye , akalalelanga izwi lethu ; pho, singamtshela kanjani ukuthi umntwana ufile? Angenza ingozi.

Wathi-ke yena : Umntwana esekhona ngazila ukudla , ngakhala, ngokuba ngathi: Ngubani owaziyo ingabe uJehova uyakuba nomusa kimi ukuba umntwana aphile na?

U-Amnoni wajilajileka waze wagula ngenxa kadadewabo uTamari , ngokuba wayeyintombi; kwakungenakwenzeka emehlweni ka -Amnoni ukwenza lutho kuye.

Yena wathi kuye : Qha, mnewethu, ungangiphoqi, ngokuba akufanele ukuba kwenziwe kanjalo kwa-Israyeli; ungenzi lobu buwula.

Mina-ke ngingayaphi nehlazo lami na ? Nawe uyakuba njengomunye weziwula zakwa -Israyeli. Ngalokho ake ukhulume nenkosi , ngokuba ayiyikunginqabela nawe.

Akavumanga nokho ukulalela izwi lakhe , kepha ngokuba wayenamandla kunaye, wamphoqa, walala naye.

U-Amnoni wayesemzonda ngenzondo enkulu kakhulu , ngokuba inzondo amzonda ngayo yaba nkulu kunothando akade emthanda ngalo . U-Amnoni wathi kuye: Vuka uhambe.

Wayenengubo enemibala , ngokuba amadodakazi enkosi ayeyizintombi ayegqoka izingubo ezinjalo . Leyo nceku yayisimkhiphela phandle , yahluthulela emnyango emva kwakhe.

U-Abisalomu akakhulumanga okuhle noma okubi , ngokuba u-Abisalomu wamzonda u-Amnoni, lokhu emphoqile udadewabo uTamari.

UJonadaba indodana kaShimeya umfowabo kaDavide waphendula wathi : Inkosi yami mayingathi babulele izinsizwa zonke , amadodana enkosi, lokhu ngu-Amnoni yedwa ofileyo ; ngokuba lokho kwakunqunyiwe ngomlomo ka - Abisalomu kusukela kulolo suku aphoqa ngalo udadewabo uTamari.

Ngalokho inkosi yami , inkosi, mayingabeki le nto enhliziyweni yayo yokuthi onke amadodana enkosi afile, ngokuba ngu-Amnoni yedwa ofileyo. Ukubaleka kuka-Abisalomu

Inkosi uDavide yalangazelela ukuya ku -Abisalomu, ngokuba yayisiduduzekile ngo-Amnoni ibona ukuthi sewafa.

Ngokuba simelwe ukufa , sinjengamanzi achith wa emhlabathini , angenakuqoqwa futhi; uNkulunkulu akasusi ukuphila , kepha uqamba amasu ukuba oxoshiweyo angabi ngumxoshwa kuye.

Ngokuba inkosi iyakuzwa , yophule incekukazi yayo esandleni somuntu oyakungichitha mina nendodana yami efeni likaNkulunkulu.

Yayisithi incekukazi yakho: Izwi lenkosi yami, inkosi, malibe ngelokuthula, ngokuba inkosi yami , inkosi, injengengelosi kaNkulunkulu ekuzweni okuhle nokubi; uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho makabe nawe.

Yathi-ke inkosi : Isandla sikaJowabe sinawe yini kukho konke lokhu na ? Owesifazane waphendula wathi: Kuphila kwakho, nkosi yami, nkosi, akukho muntu ongaphendukela ngakwesokunene nangakwesokhohlo kukho konke okukhulunywe yinkosi yami , inkosi, ngokuba inceku yakho uJowabe yangiyaleza, yafunza onke lawo mazwi emlonyeni wencekukazi yakho;

Nxa ephucula ikhanda lakhe ngokuba wayelo khu eliphucula njalo ngasekupheleni komnyaka , lokhu izinwele zakhe zamsinda ; ngalokho waziphucula wazilinganisa izinwele zekhanda lakhe , zalingana namashekeli angamakhulu amabili ngesisindo senkosi.

Ngokuba inceku yakho yenza isithembiso ngisahlezi eGeshuri lase -Aramu sokuthi: U ma uJehova engibuyisela impela eJerusalema , ngiyakumkhonza uJehova.

UDavide wayesethi ezincekwini zakhe zonke ezazinaye eJerusalema : Sukani, sibaleke, ngokuba, uma singenzi njalo, akuyikuphunyuka muntu kithi phambi kuka-Abisalomu; sheshani, nimuke, funa asifice masinyane, asehlisele okubi, awuchithe umuzi ngosiko lwenkemba.

Inkosi yayisithi ku -Ithayi umGiti: Nawe uhambelani nathi na ? Buya uhlale nenkosi, ngokuba ungumfokazi nomxoshwa endaweni yakho.

Yayisithi inkosi : Iphi indodana yenkosi yakho na ? USiba wathi enkosini : Bheka, ihlezi eJerusalema , ngokuba yathi : Namuhla indlu ka -Israyeli iyakubuyisela kimi umbuso kababa.

UJehova ubuyisele phezu kwakho lonke igazi lendlu kaSawule okade ubusa esikhundleni sakhe ; uJehova unikele umbuso esandleni sika -Abisalomu indodana yakho ; bheka, usubhajiwe ebubini bakho , ngokuba ungumuntu wegazi.

UDavide wayesethi ku -Abishayi nakuzo zonke izinceku zakhe: Bhekani, indodana yami eyaphuma ezibilinini zami ifuna ukuphila kwami ; kakhulu kangakanani lo mBenjamini na ? Myekeni, athuke, ngokuba uJehova ukhulumile kuye.

naye onesibindi, onhliziyo yakhe injengenhliziyo yengonyama , uyakuphela amandla, ngokuba wonke u-Israyeli uyazi ukuthi uyihlo uyiqhawe , nabanaye bangamadoda anamandla.

U-Abisalomu nabantu bonke bakwa -Israyeli bathi : Isiluleko sikaHu shayi umArki singcono kunesiluleko sika-Ahithofeli. Ngokuba uJehova wayenqumile ukuba kushafiswe isiluleko esihle sika -Ahithofeli, ukuze uJehova amehlisele u-Abisalomu okubi.

Kwathi sezimukile, baphuma emthonjeni, baya bayitshela inkosi uDavide , bathi kuDavide : Sukani, nisheshe niwele amanzi , ngokuba u -Ahithofeli weluleke kanjalo ngani.

nezinyosi, namangqanga, nezimvu, noshizi wezinkomo kuDavide nabantu ababe naye ukuba badle , ngokuba bathi : Abantu balambile , bakhathele, bomile ehlane.

Kepha abantu bathi : Awuyikuphuma, ngokuba uma sibaleka, abayikusinakekela; noma kufa inxenye yethu , abayikusikhathalela, kepha wena unjengezinkulungwane eziyishumi zethu; ngalokho kuhle ukuba usisize usemzini.

Ngokuba impi yahlakazeka khona ezweni lonke , ihlathi laqeda abantu abaningi ngalolo suku kunabadliwa yinkemba. Ukufa kuka-Abisalomu nokukhala kukaDavide

Wathi-ke umuntu kuJowabe : Noma bengiyakukhokhelwa izinhlamvu eziyinkulungwane zesiliva esandleni sami , nokho bengingayikuselulela isandla sami endodaneni yenkosi, ngokuba ezindlebeni zethu inkosi yakuyala wena no-Abishayi no-Ithayi ukuthi: Yilondeni insizwa u-Abisalomu.

UJowabe wayesebetha icilongo , abantu babuya ekumxosheni u -Israyeli, ngokuba uJowabe wabagodla abantu.

U-Abisalomu esekhona wayethathe insika , wazimisela yona esiGod ini seNkosi, ngokuba wathi : Anginandodana yokukhumbuzela igama lami . Wayiqamba insika ngegama lakhe; ithiwa isikhumbuzo sika -Abisalomu kuze kube namuhla.

UJowabe wathi kuye : Awuyikuba ngumbiki wendaba namuhla , kepha uyakubika ngolunye usuku ; namuhla awuyikubika lutho , ngokuba indodana yenkosi ifile.

Bheka, wayesefika umKushe; umKushe wathi: Ngumbiko, nkosi yami, nkosi, ngokuba uJehova ukuphindisele namuhla kubo bonke abakuvukelayo.

Ukunqoba ngalolo suku kwaphenduka isililo kubantu bonke , ngokuba abantu bezwa kwathiwa ngalolo suku: Inkosi idabukile ngendodana yayo.

ngokubathanda abakuzondayo nangokubazonda abakuthandayo . Ngokuba umemezele namuhla ukuthi izikhulu nezinceku azilutho kuwe, lokhu ngibona namuhla ukuthi uma ebephilile u -Abisalomu thina sonke besifile namuhla , ngabe kulungile emehlweni akho.

Ngalokho suka , ukhulume kahle ezincekwini zakho , ngokuba ngifunga uJehova ngithi, uma ungaphumi, akuyikusala muntu kuwe ngalobu busuku; lokhu kuyakuba kubi kuwe kunakho konke okubi okukwehlele kwasebusheni bakho kuze kube namuhla.

Ngokuba inceku yakho iyazi ukuthi yonile ; bheka, ngifikile namuhla ngingowokuqala wendlu yonke kaJosefa , ngehle ukuhlangabeza inkosi yami , inkosi.

Wathi: Nkosi yami , nkosi, inceku yami yangikhohlisa , ngokuba inceku yakho yathi : Ngiyakuzibophelela imbongolo ukuba ngiyikhwele , ngihambe nenkosi, ngokuba inceku yakho ilunyonga.

Ngokuba yonke indlu kababa yayinjengabantu abafileyo phambi kwenkosi yami, inkosi; kepha wayibeka inceku yakho phakathi kwabadla etafuleni lakho. Ngisenalungelo lini ukuba ngibuye ngikhale enkosini na?

UBarizilayi wayengumuntu omdala kakhulu , eneminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili; wayekade eyipha inkosi ukudla isahlezi eMahanayimi , ngokuba wayengumuntu omkhulu kakhulu.

Bonke abantu bakwaJuda baphendula abantu bakwa -Israyeli, bathi: Ngokuba inkosi iyisih lobo sethu impela ; kungani ukuba nithukuthele ngale nto na? Sike sadla ntoni engeyenkosi na? Isixoshisile ngamaxosho na?

Kwaba khon a indlala ezinsukwini zikaDavide iminyaka emithathu ngokulandelana; uDavide wafuna ubuso bukaJehova . UJehova wathi : Kungenxa kaSawule nangenxa yendlu yakhe yegazi , ngokuba wabulala abaseGibeyoni.

Ngokuba amaza okufa angihaqa; izikhukhula zokona zangethusa.

Umhlaba wawusuzamazama , wadikizela; izisekelo zezulu zathuthumela , zaqhaqhazela ngokuba ethukuthele.

Wangophula esitheni sam i esinamandla nakubo abangizondayo, ngokuba base bengahlulile.

Wangiphumisela endaweni eb anzi: wangikhulula, ngokuba ebethokoza ngami.

Ngokuba ngizigcinile izindlel a zikaJehova; angimukanga kuNkulunkulu wami ngokushinga.

Ngokuba yonke imithetho yakh e yayiphambi kwami , nezimiso zakhe angizivumanga ukuba zisuke kimi.

Ngokuba wena uyisibani sami , Jehova; uJehova uyakhanyisa ubumnyama bami.

Ngokuba ngawe ngingahlasela impi ; ngoNkulunkulu wami ngingeqa ugange.

Ngokuba ngubani onguNkulunkul u ngaphandle kukaJehova , ngubani oyidwala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wethu na?

Ayinjalo indlu yami kuNkulunkul u na? Ngokuba wenzile nami isivumelwano esiphakade ; sihleliwe ezintweni zonke , sigcinekile, ngokuba yonke insindiso yami nokwenama kwami akayikukuhlumisa na?

Kepha onke amashinga ayakub a njengameva alahlwayo , ngokuba angephathwe ngesandla.

UDavide wahlabeka enhliziyweni emva kokuba esebabalile abantu . UDavide wathi kuJehova : Ngonile kakhulu ngalokho engikwenzileyo ; kepha manje, Jehova, mawuthethelele ububi benceku yakho, ngokuba ngintumazele kakhulu.

Wayesethi uDavide kuGadi : Nginosizi kakhulu ; masiwele esandleni sikaJehova, ngokuba umusa wakhe mkhulu ; kepha esandleni somuntu mangingaweli kuso.

Ngokuba wehlile namuhla; uhlabile izinkabi, namathole akhuluphalisiweyo, nezimvu eziningi , umemile onke amadodana enkosi , nezinduna zempi , no- Abiyathara umpristi; bheka, bayadla, bephuza phambi kwakhe , bathi: Mana njalo, nkosi Adoniya.

Bese nenyuka emva kwakhe , afike ahlale esihlalweni sami sobukhosi , ngokuba uyakuba yinkosi esikhundleni sami; ngimbekile ukuba abe ngumbusi phezu kuka-Israyeli noJuda.

Esakhuluma, bheka, kwafika uJonathani indodana ka-Abiyathara umpristi; u-Adoniya wathi : Ngena, ngokuba wena uyindoda enamandla ; uze nodaba oluhle.

Kepha yiba nomusa kumadodana kaBarizilayi wakwaGileyadi , abe khona phakathi kwabadla ngasetafuleni lakho , ngokuba enza kanjalo kimi mhla ngabalekela u-Abisalomu umfowenu.

Ngalokho ungamyeki abe ngongenaca la, ngokuba wena ungumuntu ohlakaniphileyo, uyakwazi okufanele ukuba ukwenze kuye, wehlise impunga endaweni yabafileyo inegazi.

Wathi-ke: Uyazi wena ukuthi umbuso wawungowami nokuthi wonke u - Israyeli wabhekisa kimi ubuso bakhe ukuba ngibuse ; kepha umbuso usuguquliwe, sewaba ngowomfowethu, ngokuba wawuthola kuJehova.

Wayesethi: Ake ukhulume kuSolomoni inkosi, ngokuba akayikukufulathela wena, ukuba anginike u-Abishagi waseShunemi abe ngumkami.

Wayesethi kuyo : Nginesicelo sinye nje esincane kuwe ; ungangifulatheli. Inkosi yathi kuye: Cela-ke, mame ngokuba angiyikukufulathela.

Inkosi uSolomoni yaphendula , yathi kunina : Umcelelelani u -Adoniya u- Abishagi waseShunemi na? Mcelele nombuso futhi, ngokuba ungumnewethu; yebo, mcelele yena no-Abiyathara umpristi, noJowabe indodana kaSeruya.

Inkosi yathi ku -Abiyathara umpristi : Hamba uye e -Anathoti emasimini akho, lokhu ungowokufa , kepha angiyikukubulala namuhla , ngokuba wawuwuthwala umphongolo weNkosi uJehova phambi kukaDavide ubaba , wahlupheka ngakho konke ubaba ahlupheka ngakho.

Lapho kufika umbiko kuJowabe ngokuba uJowabe -- wayemlandele u - Adoniya noma engamlandelanga u -Abisalomu uJowabe -- wabaleka, waya etendeni likaJehova, wabamba izimpondo ze-altare.

UJehova uya kulibuyisela igazi lakhe ekhanda lakhe , ngokuba wasukela amadoda amabili alungileyo amahle kunaye , wawabulala ngenkemba, ubaba uDavide engazi: u-Abineri indodana kaNeri, induna yempi yakwa-Israyeli, no- Amasa indodana kaJetheri, induna yempi yakwaJuda.

Ngokuba mhla uphuma, uwele umfudlana iKidroni, yazisisa ukuthi uyakufa nokufa; igazi lakho liyakuba sekhanda lakho.

Nokho abantu babehlaba ezindaweni eziphakemeyo , ngokuba kwakungakhelwanga igama likaJehova indlu kwaze kwaba yilezo zinsuku.

Inkosi yaya eGibeyoni ukuhlabela khona , ngokuba kwakuyindawo ephakemeyo enkulu ; uSolomoni wanikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa eyinkulungwane e-altare lelo.

Ngalokho yiphe inceku yakho inhliziyo elalelayo ukwahlulela abantu bakho ukuba ngahlukanise okuhle nokubi, ngokuba ngubani ongahlulela laba bantu bakho abakhulu kangaka na?

Wathi uNkulunkulu kuye: Ngokuba ucele leyo nto, ungazicelelanga izinsuku eziningi, ungazicelelanga namfuyo, ungacelanga futhi ukufa kwezitha zakho , uzicelele ukwahlukanisa lokho okuzwayo ekwahluleleni,

Umfana walo wesifazane wafa ebusuku, ngokuba walala phezu kwakhe.

Wayesekhuluma enkosini owesifazane ongowakhe umntwana ophilayo , ngokuba izibilini zakhe zavutha ngomnta nakhe, wathi: E nkosi, mnike yena umntwana ophilayo, ungambulali nakanye, kepha omunye wathi: Makangabi ngowami nangowakho; mdabuleni.

U-Israyeli wonke we zwa leso sahlulelo esenziwe yinkosi ; bayesaba inkosi, ngokuba babona ukuthi ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu kwakukuyo ekwahluleleni kwayo.

noGeberi indodana ka -Uri ezweni lakwaGileyadi , izwe likaSihoni inkosi yama-Amori no -Ogi inkosi yaseBashani , ngokuba kwakuyinduna eyodwa kulelo zwe.

Ngokuba wayehlakaniphile kunabo bonke abantu : kuno-Ethani umEzra , noHemani, noKalikoli, noDarda amadodana kaMaholi , negama lakhe lalisezizweni zonke nxazonke.

UHiramu inkosi yaseTire wathuma izinceku zakhe kuSolomoni , ngokuba wayezwile ukuthi ugcotshi we abe yinkosi esikhundleni sikayise , ngokuba uHiramu wayengumngane kaDavide njalo.

Ngalokho yaleza ukuba bangigawulele imisedari eLebanoni , izinceku zami zibe nezakho ; ngiyakukunika inkokhelo yezinceku zakho njengakho konke ongakusho, ngokuba wena uyazi ukuthi akukho muntu kithi ongagawula imithi njengamaSidoni.

uphondo lwangaphansi lwaluyizingalo eziyisihlanu ububanzi balo , noluphakathi lwaluyizingalo eziyisithupha ububanzi balo , nolwesithathu lwaluyizingalo eziyisikhombisa ububanzi balo ; ngokuba ngaphandle wenza uqaqa endlini nxazonke, ukuze imishayo ingangeni ezindongeni zendlu.

Ngokuba a makherubi ayewelula amaphiko awo phezu kwendawo yomphongolo, amakherubi asibekela umphongolo nezinti zawo ngaphezulu.

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

Leyo nto yaba yisono, ngokuba abantu baya phambi kwelinye nakwaDani.

Ngokuba kungcono ukuba kuthiw e kuwe: Yenyuka lapha , kunokuba wehliswe phambi kwesikhulu asesibonile amehlo akho.

Njengokubanda kweqhwa ngosuku lokuvuna , sinjalo isithunywa esithembekileyo kosithumileyo, ngokuba siyahlumelela inkosi yaso.

Ngokuba uyakubuthela amalahle omlilo ekhanda lakhe , besekuthi uJehova akuvuze.

Lapho enza izwi lakhe libe mnandi , ungakholwa nguye, ngokuba kukhona izinengiso eziyisikhombisa enhliziyweni yakhe.

Ungazigabisi ngolwakusasa, ngokuba awukwazi okungavela ngosuku.

Ngokuba ingcebo ayiyikuhlala kuze kube phakade ; umqhele uyahlala izizukulwane ngezizukulwane na?

Kepha uJehova wathi kuDavide ubaba : Njengokuba kwakusenhliziyweni yakho ukwakhela igama lami indlu , wenza kahle , ngokuba kwakusenhliziyweni yakho lokho;

UJehova uliqinsisile izwi alikhulumayo , ngokuba mina ngivelile esikhundleni sikaDavide ubaba, ngihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sakwa-Israyeli njengokusho kukaJehova , ngakhele igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu ka - Israyeli indlu.

Lapho abantu bakho u -Israyeli benqotshwa yisitha, ngokuba bonile kuwe, kepha bese bebuya bephindela kuwe , balivume igama lakho , bakhuleke, banxuse kuwe kule ndlu,

Lapho izulu livaliwe , imvula ingekho, ngokuba bonile kuwe , kepha bese bekhuleka bebhekene nale ndawo , balivume igama lakho , baphenduke esonweni sabo, ngokuba uyabajezisa,

mawuzwe wena ezulwini , indawo yakho yokuhlala , uthethelele, wenze, unike yilowo nalowo njengezindlela zakhe , wena owaziyo inhliziyo yakhe ngokuba wena kuphela uyazi izinhliziyo zabo bonke abantwana babantu

ngokuba bayakuzwa ngegama lakho elikhulu , nangesandla sakho esinamandla, nangengalo yakho eyeluliweyo lapho ebeseza ukukhuleka kule ndlu,

Uma bona kuwe -- ngokuba akukho muntu ongoniyo -- bese wubathukuthelela wena , ubanikele esitheni , ukuze ababathumbayo babamukisele ezweni lesitha, likude noma liseduze,

Ngokuba bangabantu bakho nefa lakho owalikhipha ezweni laseGibithe nasesithandweni sensimbi,

Ngokuba wena wabahlukanisa nabantu bonke bomhlaba , babe yifa lakho , njengalokho wakhuluma ngesandla sikaMose inceku yakho ekukhipheni obaba eGibithe, Nkosi Jehova.

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.

Kodwa kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli uSolomoni akakhiphanga izigqila ngokuba bona babe ngamadoda empi , nezinceku zakhe , nezikhulu zakhe , nezinduna zakhe, nabaphathi bezinqola zakhe, nabamahhashi bakhe.

Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho owenamele wena ukuba akubeke esihlalweni sobukhosi sakwa -Israyeli; ngokuba uJehova wamthanda u-Israyeli kuze kube p hakade, ngalokho wakubeka inkosi ukuba wenze ukwahlulela nokulunga.

Inceku ayisolwa ngamazwi, ngokuba noma iqonda ayilaleli.

Ngokuba inkosi yayinemikhumbi yaseTharishishi elwandle kanye nemikhumbi kaHiramu ; kanye ngeminyaka emithathu yafika imikhumbi yaseTharishishi iletha igolide , nesiliva, nezimpondo zendlovu , nezimfene, namapikoko.

abezizwe uJehova ayeshilo ngabo kwabakwa-Israyeli ukuthi: Aniyikungena kubo, nabo bangangeni kini, ngokuba impela bayakuziphambukisa izinhliziyo zenu, zize zilandele onkulunkulu babo . Kulabo uSolomoni wanamathela ngothando.

UJehova wamthukuthelela uSolomoni , ngokuba inhliziyo yakhe yayiphambukile kuJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli owayebo nakele kuye kabili,

ngokuba uJowabe naye wonke u -Israyeli bahlala khona izinyanga eziyisithupha, waze waqeda bonke abesilisa kwa-Edomi

Wayesethi kuJerobowamu : Zithathele imidweshu eyishumi , ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli usho kanje , uthi: Bheka, ngiyakuhlwitha umbuso esandleni sikaSolomoni, nginike wena izizwe eziyishumi

ngokuba bangishiy ile, bakhuleka ku -Ashitaroti unkulunkulukazi wamaSidoni, nakuKemoshi unkulunkulu wakwaMowabi , nakuMilkomu unkulunkulu wabakwa -Amoni, abahambanga ngezindlela zami ukwenza okulungile emehlweni ami , nezimiso za mi, nezahlulelo zami njengoDavide uyise.

URehobowamu waya eShekemi , ngokuba wonke u -Israyeli wayefikile eShekemi ukumbeka inkosi.

Kwathi lapho uJerobowamu indodana kaNebati ekuzwile -- ngokuba wayeseGibithe, lapho ayebalekele khona , ebalekele ubuso benkosi uSolomoni; wahlala-ke uJerobowamu eGibithe,

Inkosi ayilalelanga abantu , ngokuba kwakuyi siyiba esivela kuJehova , ukuze amise izwi lakhe uJehova alikhulumayo ngesandla sika -Ahiya waseShilo kuJerobowamu indodana kaNebati.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Aniyikukhuphuka, ningalwi nabafowenu abantwana bakwa -Israyeli; buyelani, kube yilowo nalowo endlini yakhe , ngokuba le nto ivela kimi . Balalela izwi likaJehova , babuya, bahamba njengokusho kukaJehova.

ngokuba ngayalwa kanjalo ngezwi likaJehova ngokuthi: Awuyikudla sinkwa, ungaphuzi manzi, ungabuyi ngendlela oze ngayo.

ngokuba kwathiwa kimi ngezwi likaJehova: Awuyikudla sinkwa, ungaphuzi manzi khona, ungabuyi ngendlela oze ngayo.

Ngokuba izwi alimemezayo ngokusho kukaJehova kulo i-altare laseBethele nakuzo zonke izindlu zezindawo eziphakemeyo ezisemizini yaseSamariya liyakwenzeka nokwenzeka. UJerobowamu uqhubeka ebubini

UmkaJerobowamu w enze njalo ; wasuka, waya eShilo , wafika endlini ka - Ahiya. U-Ahiya wayengenakubona , ngokuba amehlo akhe ayequndekile ngenxa yobudala bakhe.

UJehova wayeshilo ku-Ahiya, ethi: Bheka, umkaJerobowamu uyeza ukubuza kuwe ngendodana yakhe , ngokuba iyagula ; womphendula ngokuthi nangokuthi, ngokuba kuyakuthi ekungeneni kwakhe azishaye omunye umuntu.

Yena wakwaJerobow amu ofela emzini uyakudliwa yizinja , nofela endle uyakudliwa yizinyoni zezulu, ngokuba uJehova ukukhulumile.

Wonke u -Israyeli uyakumlilela , ammbele, ngokuba nguyena yedwa wakwaJerobowamu oyakuya ethuneni , lokhu kufunyanwa kuye okuhle kuJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli endlini kaJerobowamu.

Ngokuba uJehova uyakushaya u -Israyeli njengohlanga oluzanyazanyiswa emanzini, asiphule u -Israyeli kuleli zwe elihle alinika oyise, abahlakazele ngaphesheya koMfula, lokhu benzile o-Ashera babo, bathukuthelisa uJehova.

UDavide waqonda ukuthi uJehova wayemmisile impela ukuba abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba umbuso wakhe waphakanyiselwa phezulu ngenxa yabantu bakhe u-Israyeli.

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

Kuyakuthi lapho usuzwa umsindo wokuhamba ezihlokweni zamajikijolo , uphume impi, ngokuba uNkulunkulu uphumile ngaphambi kwakho ukuchitha impi yamaFilisti.

Khona uDavide wathi : Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu nga ungathwalwa muntu, ngamaLevi kuphela , ngokuba yiwona akhet hwe nguJehova ukuthwala umphongolo kaNkulunkulu nokumkhonza kuze kube phakade.

Ngokuba ngenxa yokungawuthwali kwenu kuqala uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wafohla kithina, ngokuba singamfunanga njengomthetho.

UKhenaniya induna yamaLevi wayephethe umsebenzi wokuthwala ; wayefundisa ukuthwala ngokuba wayekwazi.

Ngokuba mkhulu uJehova , udumisekile kakhulu; uyesabeka phezu kwabo bonke onkulunkulu.

Ngokuba bonke onkulunkulu babezizwe bayizithombe , kepha uJehova walenza izulu.

Khona imithi yehlathi iyakuhuba ngokujabul a ebusweni bukaJehova , ngokuba uyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba.

Bongani uJehova, ngokuba muhle, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade.

bekanye nabo oHemani noJeduthuni nensali yabakhethiweyo abakhonjwa ngamagama ukuba bambonge uJehova, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade;

UNathani wathi kuDavide : Yenza konke okusenhliziyweni yakho , ngokuba uNkulunkulu unawe.

ngokuba angihlalanga ndlu kusukela osukwini engakhuphula ngalo u - Israyeli kuze kube namuhla , kepha ngangisematendeni, nasematabernakele ngamatabernakele.

Ngokuba abantu bakho u-Israyeli wabenza babe ngabantu bakho kuze kube phakade, wena Jehova ube nguNkulunkulu wabo.

Ngokuba wena Nkulunkulu wami wambulele endlebeni yenceku yakho ukuthi uyakuyakhela indlu ; ngalokho inceku yakho ifike kulokhu ukuba ikhuleke phambi kwakho.

kalokhu mawuvume ukubusisa indlu yenceku yakho ukuba ibe sebusweni bakho kuze kube phakade , ngokuba okubusisile wena Jehova kuyahlala kubusisekile kuze kube phakade.

wathuma uHadoramu , indodana yakhe , enkosini uDavide ukuyibingelela nokuyibusisa, ngokuba yay ilwile noHadarezeri , yamnqoba, ngokuba uHadarezeri wayelokhu elwa noThowu; wathuma izinhlobo zonke zezitsha zegolide nezesiliva nezethusi.

UDavide wathi : Ngiyakumenzela umusa uHanuni , indodana kaNahashi, ngokuba uyise wangenzela umusa . UDavide wayesethuma izithunywa ukumduduza ngoyise . Zafika-ke izinceku zikaDavide ezweni labantwana bakwa-Amoni kuHanuni ukumduduza.

Bahamba, bamtshela uDavide ngalawo madoda . Wathuma ukuwahlangabeza, ngokuba ayenamahloni kakhulu lawo madoda . Yathi inkosi: Hlalani eJeriko, zize zihlume izilevu zenu, bese nibuya.

Kepha oLevi noBenjamini akababalanga phakathi kwabo , ngokuba izwi lenkosi lalinengekile kuJowabe.

UDavide wayesethi kuNkulunkulu : Ngonile kakhulu ngalokho engikwenzileyo; kepha manje, Jehova, mawuthethelele ububi benceku yakho, ngokuba ngintumazele kakhulu.

UDavide wathi kuGadi : Nginosizi kakhulu; mangiwele esandleni sikaJehova, ngokuba umusa wakhe mkhulu kakhulu ; kepha esandleni somuntu mangingaweli kuso.

Inkosi uDavide yathi ku -Orinani: Qha, ngiyakukuthenga nokukuthenga ngemali epheleleyo , ngokuba angizukumthathela uJehova okungokwakho , nginikele ngomnikelo wokushiswa ngengikuthole ngeze.

Ngokuba itabernakele likaJehova alenza uMose ehlane ne-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa kwakusendaweni ephakemeyo eGibeyoni ngaleso sikhathi.

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

nemisedari engenakubalwa , ngokuba amaSidoni nabaseTire baletha imisedari eminingi kuDavide.

Kepha izwi likaJehova lafika kimi , lathi: U chithile igazi eliningi , uphake izimpi ezinkulu ; awuyikwakhela igama lami indlu , ngokuba uchithe igazi eliningi emhlabathini emehlweni ami;

bheka, uyakuzalelwa indodana eyakuba ngumuntu wokuthula ; ngiyakumnika ukuphumula ezitheni zakhe nxazonke , ngokuba igama lakhe liyakuba nguSo lomoni; ukuthula nokuzola ngi yakumnika khona u -Israyeli emihleni yakhe;

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

UJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akanani na ? Akaniphanga ukuphumula nxazonke na ? Ngokuba unikele esandleni sami aba khileyo ezweni ; izwe linyatheliwe phambi kukaJehova naphambi kwabantu bakhe.

Ngokuba isivini sikaJehova Sebawoti siyindlu ka -Israyeli, namadoda akwaJuda ayisithombo sakhe esithandekayo ; wabheka ukwahlulela , kepha bheka, ngukucindezela, yebo, ukulunga, kepha bheka, ngukukhala. Amazwi okwahlulela okubi

Ngokuba ama -eka ayishumi esivin i ayakuthela ibhati elilodwa , nehomere lembewu liyakuthela i-efa nje.

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.

Ngase ngithi: Maye kimi! Ngokuba ngiphelile, lokhu ngingumuntu ozindebe zakhe zingcolile , futhi ngihlezi phakathi kwabantu abazindebe zabo zingcolile, ngokuba amehlo ami abonile iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti.

Ngase ngibona-ke ukuthi akukho okungcono kunokuba umuntu athokoze ngemisebenzi yakhe, lokhu kuyisabelo sakhe, ngokuba ngubani ongambuyisa ukuba abone okuyakuba semva kwakhe na?

Kungcono ababili kunoyedwa , ngokuba banomvuzo omkhulu ngomshikashika wabo.

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

ngokuba waphuma etilongweni ukuba abe yinkosi , yebo, wazalwa embusweni wayo empofu.

Gcina unyawo lwakho , lapho uya endlini kaNkulunkulu , ngokuba ukusondela ukuyokuzwa kungcono kunokunikela ngomhlatshelo weziwula , ngokuba azazi ukuthi zenza okubi.

Ungabi namawala ngomlomo wakho , nenhliziyo yakho mayingasheshi ukukhipha izwi phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ngokuba uNkulunkulu usezulwini , wena usemhlabeni; ngalokho amazwi akho mawabe yingcosana.

Ngokuba iphupho livel a ngemisebenzi emining i nephimbo lesiwula ngobuningi bamazwi.

Lapho wenza isithembiso phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ungalibali ukusifeza , ngokuba akathokozi ngeziwula: feza lokhu okwethembisayo.

Ngokuba lapho kukhona amaphupho amaningi, kukhona nokuyize namazwi amaningi, kepha wena yesaba uNkulunkulu.

Uma ubona u kudlovelwa kwabampofu nokuphangwa kokwahlulela nokokulunga ezweni , ungamangali ngakho , ngokuba omkhulu uqaphela omkhulu kunaye, futhi kukhona nabakhulu kunabo.

Ngokuba i-Aramu no-Efrayimi nendodana kaRemaliya bacebile okubi ngawe, bathi:

Ngokuba inhloko yase -Aramu iyiDamaseku , nenhloko yeDamaseku inguResini; phakathi kweminyaka engamashum i ayisithupha nanhlan u u- Efrayimi uyakwaphulwa angabe esaba yisizwe.

Ngokuba umntwana engakazi ukwala okubi nokukhetha okuhle , izwe okhathazwa ngamakhosi omabili alo liyakushiywa.

bese kuthi ngobuningi bobisi ezilwehlisayo idle amangqanga , ngokuba amangqanga nezinyosi bayakukudla bonke abasele ezweni.

Kuyakuyiwa khona nemicibisholo nomnsalo , ngokuba izwe lonke liyakuba ngamakhakhasi nameva.

Ngokuba umntwana engakazi ukumemeza ngokuthi baba nomame , kuyakususwa ingcebo yaseDamaseku nempango yaseSamariya phambi kwenkosi yase-Asiriya.

Susa amehlo akho kimi , ngokuba ayangiphaphathekisa; izinwele zakho zinjengomhlambi wezimbuzi owehla entabeni yakwaGileyadi.

Ngokuba uDavide wathi : UJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli unike abantu bakhe ukuphumula; uhlezi eJerusalema kuze kube phakade;

Ngokuba amadodana kaLevi abalwa ngamazwi okugcina kaDavide , kusukela kwaneminyaka engamashumi amabili kuya phezulu.

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

Bahlukaniswa ngenkatho, laba nalaba, ngokuba kwakukhona izikhulu zendlu engcwele nezikhulu zikaNkulunkulu emadodaneni ka -Eleyazare nasemadodaneni ka-Itamari.

no-Amiyeli owesithupha , no-Isakare owesikhombisa , noPhewuletayi owesishiyagalombili, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wambusisa.

Naye uShemaya indodana yakhe wazalelwa amadodana ayebusa indlu kayise, ngokuba ayengamaqhawe anamandla.

Kepha uDavide akabalanga umumo waba neminyaka engamashumi amabili nabangaphansi, ngokuba uJehova wayeshilo ukuthi uyakwandisa u -Israyeli ukuba abe ngangezinkanyezi zezulu.

Kepha wayesethi uNkulunkulu kimi : Awuyikwakhela igama lami indlu , ngokuba uyindoda yempi, uchithile igazi.

Kodwa uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wangikhetha endlini yonke kababa ukuba ngibe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade; ngokuba ukhethile uJuda ukuba abe ngumbusi , nasendlini kaJuda indlu kababa , naphakathi kwamadodana kababa wangenamela mina ukuba angibeke inkosi kwa - Israyeli wonke,

nasemadodaneni ami onke , ngokuba uJehova ungiphe amadoda na amaningi, ukhethe uSo lomoni indodana yami ukuba ahlale esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso kaJehova kwa-Israyeli.

Wathi kimi : U Solomoni indodana yakho nguye oyakwakha indlu yami namagceke ami , ngokuba ngimkhethile ukuba abe yindodana yami , mina ngibe nguyise.

Wena Solomoni , ndodana yami , yazi uNkulunkulu kayihlo , umkhonze ngenhliziyo epheleleyo nangenhliziyo ethokozayo , ngokuba uJehova uhlola izinhliziyo zonke , uqonda zonke izizindlo zemicabango ; uma umfuna , uyakufunyanwa nguye ; kepha uma umshiya , uyakukulahla kuze kube phakade.

Bheka manje , ngokuba uJehova ekukhethile ukwakha indlu ibe yindlu engcwele, qina, ukwenze.

Wayesethi uDavide kuSolomoni indodana yakhe : Qina, ume isibindi, ukwenze; ungesabi, ungabi naluvalo, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu , yebo, uNkulunkulu wami , unawe; akayikukuyeka, akayikukushiya uze uphele wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaJehova.

UDavide inkosi wathi kulo lonke ibandla : USolomoni indodana yami , oyedwa uNkulunkulu amkhethileyo , usengumfana, usathambile, nomsebenzi mkhulu, ngokuba ithempeli alisilo elomuntu kepha ngelikaJehova uNkulunkulu.

Abantu bajabula ngokunikela kwabo ngenhliziyo , ngokuba banikela ngenhliziyo epheleleyo kuJehova; naye uDavide inkosi wajabula ngokujabula okukhulu. Ukubonga nokukhuleka kukaDavide

Ngobakho, Jehova, ubukhulu, namandla, nodumo, nenkazimulo, nobukhosi, ngokuba konke okusezulwini nasemhlabeni kungokwakho ; ngowakho umbuso , Jehova; wena uphakeme , uyinhloko phezu kwakho konke.

Ngokuba ngingubani mina , nabantu bami , bayini ukuba sibe namandla okunikela ngenhliziyo engaka na ? Ngokuba konke kuvela kuwe , nokuvela esandleni sakho lokhu sikunike wena.

Ngokuba singabafokazi phambi kwakho nezihambi njengabo bonke obaba ; izinsuku zethu emhlabeni zinjengethunzi, nethemba alikho.

Wahamba uSolomoni, nebandla lonke linaye , waya endaweni ephakemeyo yaseGibeyoni, ngokuba kwakukhona lapho itende lokuhlangana likaNkulunkulu elalenziwe nguMose inceku kaJehova ehlane.

Kepha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uDavide wayewukhuphulile eKiriyati Jeharimi, wawuyisa endaweni uDavide ayewulungisele yona , ngokuba wayewumisele itende eJerusalema.

Ngalokho, Jehova Nkulunkulu , maliqiniswe izwi lakho kuDavide ubaba , ngokuba ungibeke inkosi phezu kwabantu abangangothuli lomhlabathi ngobuningi.

Ngiphe manje ukuhlakanipha nokwazi ukuba ngiphume , ngingene phambi kwalabo bantu , ngokuba ngubani ongahlulela labo bantu bakho abakhulu kangaka na?

Indlu engiyakuyakha iyakuba nkulu , ngokuba mkhulu uNkulunkulu wethu phezu kwabo bonke onkulunkulu.

Ngithumele futhi imisedari, nemisayipuresi, nemi-alimugi evela eLebanoni, ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi izinceku zakho ziyakwazi ukugawula imithi eLebanoni; bheka, izinceku zami ziyakuba nezinceku zakho

ukungilungisela imithi eminingi , ngokuba indlu engiyakuyakha iyakuba nkulu ngokumangalisayo.

UHiramu inkosi yaseTire waphendula ngokuloba, wakuthuma kuSolomoni, wathi: Ngokuba uJehova uyathanda abantu bakhe , ukubeke inkosi phezu kwabo.

Ngokuba amakherubi awelula amaphiko awo phezu kwendawo yomphongolo, amakherubi asibekela umphongolo nezinti zawo ngaphezulu.

Kwathi lapho abapristi seb ephumile endaweni engcwele ngokuba bonke abapristi ababe khona babezingcwelisile bengazigcinanga izigaba zabo,

nalapho abaphethe amacilongo nabahlabeleli bezwakalisa kanyekanye izwi linye lokudumisa nokubonga uJehova , nanxa bekhalisa amacilongo namasimbali nezinto zokubethwa , bedumisa uJehova ngokuba muhle nangokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade, khona indlu yagcwaliswa yifu , yona le ndlu kaJehova,

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

Kepha uJehova wathi kuDavide ubaba : Njengokuba kwakusenhliziy weni yakho ukwakhela igama lami indlu , wenza kahle, ngokuba kwakusenhliziyweni yakho lokho;

UJehova uliqinisile izwi alikhulumayo , ngokuba mina ngivelile esikhundleni sikaDavide ubaba, ngihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sakwa-Israyeli njengokusho kuka Jehova , ngakhele igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu ka - Israyeli indlu.

ngokuba uSolomoni wayenzile ibhesitulu lethusi; ubude balo babuyizingalo eziyisihlanu, nobubanzi balo babuyizingalo eziyisihlanu, nokuphakama kwalo kwakuyizingalo ezintathu ; walimisa phakathi negceke , wema kulo , wayeseguqa ngamadolo phambi kwalo lonke ibandla lakwa -Israyeli, welulela izandla zakhe ngasezulwini,

Uma abantu bakho u -Israyeli benqotshwa yisitha , ngokuba bonile kuwe , kepha bese bebuya bephindela kuwe , balivume igama lakho , bakhuleke, banxuse kuwe kule ndlu,

Lapho izulu livaliwe , imvula ingekho, ngokuba bonile kuwe, kepha bese bekhuleka bebhekene nale ndawo , balivume igama lakho , baphenduke esonweni sabo, ngokuba uyabajezisa,

mawuzwe wena ezulwini, indawo yakho yokuhlala , uthethelele, unike, kube yilowo nalowo njeng ezindlela zakhe zonke , wena owaziyo inhliziyo yakhe ngokuba wena kuphela uyazi izinhliziyo zabantwana babantu

Uma bona kuwe ngokuba akukho muntu ongoniyo bese wubathukuthelela wena, ubanikele esitheni , ukuze ababathumbayo babamukis ele ezweni lesitha, likude noma liseduze,

Abapristi babengenakungena endlini kaJehova , ngokuba inkazimulo kaJehova yagcwalisa indlu kaJehova.

Lapho a bantwana bakwa -Israyeli bebona ukwehla komlilo , nenkazimulo kaJehova iphezu kwendlu , bakhothama phansi ngobuso phezu kwendawo egandaywe ngamatshe , bakhuleka, babonga uJehova , ngokuba muhle nangokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade.

Abapristi bema njengezikhundla zabo kanye namaLev i, benezinto zokubethwa ayezenzile uDavide inkosi ukuba babonge uJehova , ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade , lapho uDavide edumisa ngezandla zabo ; abapristi bakhalisa amacilongo ngaphambi kwabo, esemi wonke u-Israyeli.

USolomoni wangcwelisa ingaphakathi legceke elalingaphambi kwendlu kaJehova, ngokuba wanikela lapho ngeminikelo yokushiswa namanoni eminikelo yokuthula , ngokuba i -altare lethusi ayelenzile uSolomoni lalingenakwanela umnikelo wokushiswa, nomnikelo wempuphu, namanoni.

Ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili benz a umhlangano ozothileyo ngokuba ukuhlanjululwa kwe -altare bakwenza izinsuku eziyisikhombisa nomkhosi izinsuku eziyisikhombisa.

Kepha kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli uSolomoni akakhiphanga izigqila zomsebenzi wakhe , ngokuba babengamadoda empi , nabakhulu bezinduna zakhe, nezinduna zezinqola zakhe, nabamahhashi bakhe.

USolomoni wakhuphula indodakazi kaFaro emzini kaDavide , wayiyisa endlini ayakhele yona , ngokuba wathi : Akuyikuhlala owesifazane endlini kaDavide inkosi yakwa -Israyeli, ngokuba ingcwele , lapho kufike khona umphongolo kaJehova.

Wamisa njengomthetho kaDavide uyise izigaba zabapristi enkonzweni yabo, namaLevi ezikhundl eni zawo ukuba adumise , akhonze phambi kwabapristi njengokudingekayo imihla ngemihla , nabalindisango ngezigaba zabo emasangweni ngamasango , ngokuba uDavide umuntu kaNkulunkulu wayeyale kanjalo.

Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho owenamele wena ukuba akubeke esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi ukuba ube yinkosi kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho; ngokuba uNkulunkulu wakho wamthanda u -Israyeli waze wammisa kuze kube phakade, ngalokho wakubeka inkosi phezu kwabo ukuba wenze ukwahlulela nokulunga.

Ngokuba inko si yayinemikhumbi eyaya eTharishishi kanye nezinceku zikaHiramu; kanye ngeminyaka emithathu yafika imikhumbi yaseTharishishi iletha igolide, nesiliva, nezimpondo zendlovu, nezimfene, namapikoko.

URehobowamu waya eShekemi , ngokuba wonke u -Israyeli wayefikile eShekemi ukumbeka inkosi.

Kwathi lapho uJerobowamu indodana kaNebati ekuzwile ngokuba wayeseGibithe, lapho ayebalakele khona, ebalekele ubuso benkosi uSolomoni uJerobowamu wabuya eGibithe.

Inkosi ayibalalelanga abantu , ngokuba kwakuyisiyiba esivela kuNkulunkulu, ukuze uJehova amise izwi lakhe alikhulumayo ngesandla sika-Ahiya waseShilo kuJerobowamu indodana kaNebati.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Aniyikukhuphuka, ningalwi nabafowenu ; buyelani, kube yilowo nalowo endlini yakhe , ngokuba le nto ivela kimi . Balalela amazwi kaJehova, babuya ekumhlaseleni uJerobowamu. Ukwakha kukaRehobowamu

Ngokuba amaLevi ashiya amadlelo awo nefa lawo , aya kwaJuda naseJerusalema, ngokuba uJerobowamu namadodana akhe bawalahla ukuba angabe esaba ngabapristi bakaJehova,

Base bewuqinisa -ke umbuso wakwaJuda , benza uRehobowamu indodana kaSolomoni waba namandla iminyaka emithathu , ngokuba bahamba iminyaka emithathu endleleni kaDavide noSolomoni. Abafazi nabantwana bakaRehobowamu

URehobowamu wamthanda uMahakha indodakazi ka-Abisalomu phezu kwabo bonke abafazi bakhe nezancinza zakhe , ngokuba wathatha abafazi abayishumi nesishiyagalombili nez ancinza ezingamashumi ayisithupha , wazala amadodana angamashumi amabili nesishiyagalombili namadodakazi angamashumi ayisithupha.

URehobowamu wabeka u -Abiya, indodana kaMahakha, abe yinhloko, abe ngumbusi phakathi kwabafowabo, ngokuba wacabanga ukumbeka inkosi.

Kepha kwathi ngomnyaka wesihlanu wenkosi uRehobowamu , uShishaki inkosi yaseGibithe wakhuphukela eJerusalema , ngokuba babephambukile kuJehova,

Inkosi uRehobowamu yayisiziqinisa -ke eJerusalema yabusa , ngokuba uRehobowamu wayeneminyaka engamashumi amane nanye ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa ; wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nesikhombisa eJerusalema , umuzi uJehova awukhethileyo ezizweni zonke zakwa -Israyeli ukuba abeke khona igama lakhe; igama likanina lalinguNahama umAmonikazi.

Wenza okubi, ngokuba akabhekisanga inhliziyo yakhe ukumfuna uJehova.

bamshisela uJehova iminikelo yokushiswa nempepho ethaphukayo ekuseni nakusihlwa njalo , basihlela isinkwa sokubukwa etafuleni elihlanzekileyo , bokhela uthi lwezibani lwegolide nezibani zalo kusihlwa njalo, ngokuba thina sigcina imfanelo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, kepha nina nimshiyile.

Futhi bhekani , uNkulunkulu unathi , uyinhloko yethu , kanye nabapristi abaphethe amacilongo okuhlaba umkhosi ukuba bawakhalise ngani ; bantwana bakwa -Israyeli, ningalwi noJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo , ngokuba aniyikuphumelela.

Bathotshiswa-ke ngaleso sikhathi abantwana bakwa -Israyeli; kepha abantwana bakwaJuda bahlula , ngokuba babencika kuJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

Wakha imizi ebiyelweyo kwaJuda , ngokuba izwe lazola , engenampi kuleyo minyaka, ngokuba uJehova wayemphumuzile.

Wathi kuJuda : Masakhe le mizi , siyihaqe ngogange , nangemibhoshongo, nangezivalo, nangemigoqo; izwe lisephambi kwethu , ngokuba simfunile uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu; simfunile, wasiphumuza nxazonke. Base bakha- ke, baphumelela.

U-Asa wakhala kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe , wathi: Jehova, akakho ngaphandle kwakho ongasiza phakathi konamandla amak hulu nongenawo ; sisize, Jehova Nkulunkulu wethu , ngokuba sencika kuwe , sifike ngegama lakho kulesi sixuku . Jehova, wena unguNkulunkulu wethu , mawungahlulwa muntu.

U-Asa na bantu ababe naye bawaxosha kwaze kwaba seGerari, kwawa amaKushe kwaze kwangasala muntu ophilayo , ngokuba achithwa phambi kukaJehova naphambi kwempi yakhe, bamuka nempango enkulu kakhulu.

Bachitha yonke imizi ezungeza iGerari , ngokuba ingebhe ngoJehova yayiphezu kwabo ; baphanga yonke imizi, ngokuba kwakukhona impango eningi kuyo.

Ngaleso sikhathi kwakungekho kuthula kophumayo nakongenayo , ngokuba ukuphaphatheka okukhulu kwakukhona phezu kwabo bonke abakhe ezweni.

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

Kepha nina yibani namandla, zingadangali izandla zenu, ngokuba umsebenzi wenu uyakuba nomvuzo wawo.

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.

Wonke uJuda wathokoza ngesifungo , ngokuba babefungile ngayo yonke inhliziyo yabo , bamfuna ngakho konke ukufisa kwabo ; wafunyanwa yibo ; uJehova wabaphumuza nxazonke.

Wamsusa uMahakha unina ka -Asa inkosi ebukhosikazini , ngokuba wayemenzele u -Ashera isithombe esinengekayo ; u-Asa wagawula isithombe sakhe, wasicolisisa, wasishisa ngasemfudlaneni iKidroni.

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.

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

UJehova wayenaye uJehoshafati , ngokuba wahamba ngezindlela zokuqala zikayise uDavide, akafunanga oBali,

Inkosi yakwa -Israyeli yayisibutha abaprofethi , amadoda angamakhulu amane, yathi kubo : Sihambe siye yini eRamoti Gileyadi ukulwa, noma ngiliyeke na ? Bathi: Khuphukani, ngokuba uNkulunkulu uyakul inikela esandleni senkosi.

Inkosi yakwa -Israyeli yathi kuJehoshafati : Kusekhona umuntu munye esingabuza ngaye kuJehova , kodwa ngiyamzonda , ngokuba akazange aprofethe okuhle ngami, kepha okubi njalo; nguMikhaya indodana kaJimila. Wathi uJehoshafati: Inkosi mayingasho njalo.

Bonke abaprofethi baprofetha kanje , bathi: Khuphukela eRamoti Gileyadi , ube nempumelelo, ngokuba uJehova uyakulinikela esandleni senkosi.

Kepha umuntu othile wansala umnsalo wakhe ngokungazeleli nje , wayihlaba inkosi yakwa -Israyeli enhlanganisweni yebhantshi lensimbi ; yathi kumshayeli: Phenduka, ungikhiphe empini, ngokuba ngikhutshaziwe.

Nokho kufunyaniswa kuwe nezin to ezinhle , ngokuba ususile o -Ashera ezweni, wabhekisa inhliziyo yakho ukuba ifune uNkulunkulu. UJehoshafati umisa abahluleli

Bhekani enikwenzayo , ngokuba anahluleleli umuntu kepha uNkulunkulu , onani ekwahluleleni.

Ngalokho ingebhe ngoJeho va mayibe phezu kwenu ; qaphelani nikwenze , ngokuba ukungalungi akukho kuJehova uNkulunkulu wethu , nokukhetha ubuso, nokwamukela umvuzo.

Uma sehlelwa ngokubi, inkemba, nokwahlulelwa, nesifo, nendlala, siyakuma phambi kwale ndlu naphambi kwakho, ngokuba igama lakho likule ndlu, sikhale kuwe ekuhluphekeni kwethu, uyakuzwa, usisindise.

Nkulunkulu wethu, awuyikubahlulela na? Ngokuba asinamandla ebusweni balesi sixuku esikhulu esisifikelayo ; futhi asazi ukuthi siyakwenze njani , kodwa amehlo ethu akuwe.

wathi: Yizwani nina nonke bakwaJuda, nabakhileyo eJerusalema , nawe nkosi Jehoshafati : usho kanje kini uJehova , uthi: Ningesabi, ningapheli amandla ngenxa yalesi sixuku esikhulu , ngokuba impi ayisiyo eyenu , ngekaNkulunkulu.

Akusikho okwenu ukulwa kule mpi ; zihleleni, nime, nibone ukunisindisa kukaJehova, nina Juda neJerusalema ; ningesabi, ningapheli amandla ; phumelani kubo kusasa, ngokuba uJehova unani.

Eselulekene nabantu wamisa abayakuhlabelela kuJehova ukuba bamdumise behlotshisiwe ngobungcwele , besaphuma ngaphambi kwempi , bathi: Bongani uJehova, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade.

Lapho uJehoshafati nabantu bakhe befika ukuqoqa impango kubo , bafumanisa phakathi kwabo ubuningi bengcebo nezidumbu nezinto ezinxanelekayo, bazihlubulela zona , kwaze kwangabakho ongazithwala ; kwaba yizinsuku ezintathu beqoqa impango, ngokuba yayiningi kangaka.

Ngosuku lwesine babuthana esiGodini saseBerakha , ngokuba bambonga uJehova khona ; ngalokho igama laleyo ndawo labizwa ngokuthi isiGodi saseBerakha kuze kube namuhla.

Base bebuya bonke abantu bakwaJuda nabaseJerusalema , uJehoshafati ephambi kwabo, ukuba babuyele eJerusalema ngentokozo, ngokuba uJehova wayesebathokozisile phezu kwezitha zabo.

Umbuso kaJehoshafati wawusuzola, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wakhe wamnika ukuphumula nxazonke.

Uyise wabanika izipho ezinkulu zesiliva nezegolide, namagugu kanye nemizi ebiyelweyo kwaJuda , kepha umbuso wawunika uJehoramu , ngokuba wayeyizibulo.

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

Wahlubuka-ke u-Edomi phansi kwesandla sakwaJuda kuze kube namuhla ; khona lahlubuka neLibina ngasona leso sikhathi phansi kwesandla sakhe , ngokuba wayemshiyile uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

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,

Abakhileyo eJerusalema babeka u -Ahaziya indodana yakhe encane inkosi esikhundleni sakhe , ngokuba iviyo lababefike ekamu nabase -Arabiya lalibulele bonke abokuqala. Wayesebusa-ke u-Ahaziya indodana kaJehoramu inkosi yakwaJuda.

Naye wahamba ngezindlela zendlu ka -Ahabi, ngokuba unina wayengomeluleka ukwenza okubi.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengokwenza kwendlu ka -Ahabi, ngokuba bona babengabamelulekayo emva kokufa kukayise , kwaba ngukuchithwa kwakhe.

Wabuyela ukwelashwa eJizreyeli ngenxa yaman xeba ayemlimaze wona eRama ekulweni kwakhe noHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu. U-Azariya indodana kaJehoramu, inkosi yakwaJuda, wehla ukumbona uJehoramu indodana ka - Ahabi eJizreyeli, ngokuba wayegula.

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.

Wamfuna u-Ahaziya, bambamba; wayecashile eSamariya bamletha kuJehu, bambulala; bammbela, ngokuba bathi: Uyindodana kaJehoshafati owamfuna uJehova ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke . Indlu ka -Ahaziya yayingasenamandla okuwugcina umbuso. U-Athaliya ungumbusi

Kodwa uJehoshabeyati, indodakazi yenkosi, wamthatha uJowashi indodana ka-Ahaziya, wameba phakathi kw amadodana enkosi abulawayo , wambeka nomzanyana wakhe ekamelweni lokulala . UJehoshabeyati, indodakazi yenkosi uJehoramu, umkaJehoyada umpristi -- ngokuba wayengudadewabo ka-Ahaziya -- wamfihla ebusweni buka-Athaliya, ukuze angambulali.

Makungangeni muntu endlini kaJehova ngaphandle kwabapristi namaLevi akhonzayo; bona bangangena , ngokuba bangcwel e; kepha bonke abantu bayakugcina izimfanelo zikaJehova.

AmaLevi naye wonke uJuda b enza njengakho konke uJehoyada umpristi ayale ngakho , bathatha, kwaba yilowo nalowo abantu bakhe ababeyakungena ngesabatha kanye nababeyakuphuma ngesabatha , ngokuba uJehoyada umpristi akamukisanga izigaba.

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

Ngokuba amadodana ka-Athaliya, owesifazane lowo omubi , ayeyichithile indlu kaNkulunkulu , nezinto zonke ezingcwele zendlu kaJehova azenza ukuba zibe ngezikaBali.

Bammbela emzini kaDavide phakathi kwamakhosi , ngokuba wayenze okuhle kwa-Israyeli, nakuNkulunkulu, nasendlini yakhe.

UMoya kaNkulunkulu wembesa uZakariya indodana kaJehoyada umpristi; wema ngaphezu kwabantu , wathi kubo : Usho kanje uNkulunkulu , uthi: Neqelani imiyalo kaJehova ukuba ningabi nampumelelo na ? Ngokuba nimshiyile uJehova, naye unishiyile nina.

Ngokuba impi yase -Aramu yafika neviyo elincane labantu , nokho uJehova wanikela impi enkulu kakhulu esandleni sabo , ngokuba babemshiyile uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise. Base bemahlulela uJowashi.

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.

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

kepha noma kuhamba wena , ukwenza, uziqinisela impi ; uNkulunkulu uyakukuwisa phansi ebuswen i bezitha . Ngokuba uNkulunkulu unamandla okuwisa phansi nokusiza.

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.

Kepha u-Amasiya akalalelanga , ngokuba kwavela kuNkulunkulu ukuba abanikele esandleni sezitha zabo , ngokuba babefunile onkulunkulu bakwa - Edomi.

Abakwa-Amoni bathela intela ku -Uziya; igama lakhe lahamba laze lafika nasekuyeni eGibithe, ngokuba waba namandla kakhulu.

Wakha imibhoshongo ehlane , wemba imigodi eminingi yamanzi , ngokuba wayenezinkomo eziningi ehlanzeni nasethafeni , wayenabalimi nabaphathi bezivini ezintabeni naseKarmeli, ngokuba wayengothanda umhlabathi.

Wenza eJerusalema imishini eyaqanjwa ngokuhlakanipha ukuba ibe phezu kwemibhoshongo nasezingosini , kuphonswe ngayo imicibisholo namatshe amakhulu. Igama lakhe laphumela ekudeni , ngokuba wasizwa ngokumangalisayo waze waba namandla.

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.

U-Azariya, umpristi omkhulu , nabo bonke abapristi bambuka ; bheka, wayenochoko ebunzini lakhe; bashesha bamkhipha khona; naye waphuthuma ukuphuma, ngokuba uJehova wayemshayile.

U-Uziya, inkosi, wayesengonochoko kwaze kwafika usuku lokufa kwakhe , wahlala endlini eyahlukanisiweyo, lokhu engonochoko, ngokuba wanqunywa endlini kaJehova . UJothamu indodana yakhe wayephezu kwendlu yenkosi , ahlulela abantu bezwe.

U-Uziya wayeselala koyise ; bammbela koyise ngaphandle kwamathuna amakhosi, ngokuba bathi: Ungonochoko. UJothamu, indodana yakhe, waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

UJothamu waba namandla , ngokuba walungisa izindlela zakhe phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

Ngokuba uPheka indodana kaRemaliya wabulala kwaJuda izinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amabili ngalusuku lunye , bonke bengamadoda anamandla, ngokuba bebeshiyile uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

Kepha kwakukhona lapho umprofethi kaJehova ogama lakhe lalingu -Odedi; waphuma ukuhlangabeza impi eyayiza eSamariya , wathi kubo : Bhekani, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo wayethukuthelele uJuda , wabanikela esandleni senu , kepha nin a nibabulele ngokufutha okufinyelele nasezulwini.

Ngalokho ngizweni , nibuyise abathunjwa enibathumbile kubafowenu , ngokuba ulaka olushisayo lukaJehova luphezu kwenu.

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.

Ngokuba phezu kwakho konke babef ikile abakwa -Edomi, bashaya uJuda , bathumba abathunjwa.

Ngokuba uJehova wathobisa uJuda ngenxa ka -Ahazi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba wayedlubulundile kwaJuda , waphambuka nokuphambuka kuJehova.

Ngokuba u -Ahazi waphanga indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi neyezikhulu , wakunika inkosi yase-Asiriya, kepha akumsizanga.

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

U-Ahazi wayeselala koyise ; bammbela emzini , iJerusalema, ngokuba abamyisanga emathuneni amakhosi akwa-Israyeli; uHezekiya indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Ngokuba oyihlo baphambukile , benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu , bamshiya, baphendula ubuso babo endl ini kaJehova , bamfulathela.

Madodana ami , ningadebeseli, ngokuba nina uJehova unikhethile ukuba nime phambi kwakhe, nimkhonze, nibe yizikhonzi zakhe, nishise impepho.

abapristi bazihlaba , benza umnikelo wesono ngegazi lazo e -altare ukuba benzele u -Israyeli won ke ukubuyisana , ngokuba inkosi yayaleza ukuba umnikelo wokushiswa nomnikelo wesono ube ngoka-Israyeli wonke.

Wawamisa amaLevi endlini kaJehova ephethe amasimbali , nezingubhu, namahabu njengesiyalezo sika Davide nesikaGadi umboni wenkosi nesikaNathani ump rofethi, ngokuba isiyalezo sasingesikaJehova ngesandla sabaprofethi bakhe.

Abapristi babe yingcosana nje , babengenakuhlinza yonke iminikelo yokushiswa; abafowabo amaLevi base bebasiza , waze waphela umsebenzi , nabapristi baze bazingcwelisa , ngokuba amaLevi ayelungele ngezinhliziyo kunabapristi ukuba azingcwelise.

UHezekiya wathokoza kanye nabantu bonke ngenxa yalokho uNkulunkulu ayebalungisele khona abantu, ngokuba leyo nto yavela ingalindelwanga.

Ngokuba inkosi yayelulekene nezikhulu zayo nebandla lonke laseJerusalema ukuba bagcine iphasika ngenyanga yesibili.

Ngokuba babengenakulenza ngaleso sikhathi , lokhu abapristi bebengazingcwelisanga ngokwaneleyo nabantu bebengakabuthani eJerusalema.

Benza isinqumo sokuhambisa izwi ku -Israyeli wonke kusukela eBeri Sheba kuze kube kwaDani ukuba bafike , bamenzele uJehova uNkulunkulu ka - Israyeli iphasika eJerusalema , ngokuba babengalenzanga ebandleni njengokulotshiweyo.

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

Ngokuba babe baningi ebandleni ababengazingcwelisanga ; amaLevi ayephezu kokuhlatshwa kwamaphasika abo bonke ababengahlambulukile ukuba abangcwelisele uJehova.

Ngokuba isixuku sabantu , abaningi bakwa-Efrayimi nakwaManase nakwa- Isakare nakwaZebuloni , sasingazihlambululanga, salidla iphasika ngokungalotshiwe. Ngokuba uHezekiya wayebakhulekele ngokuthi : UJehova omuhle makathethelele

Ngokuba uHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda wayenikile ibandla izinkunzi eziyinkulungwane nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa zibe yiminikelo, nezikhulu zazinikile ibandla izinkunzi eziyinkulungwane nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyishumi; abapristi abaningi bazingcwelisa.

Kwakukhona-ke ukuthokoza okukhulu eJerusalema , ngokuba kusukela esikhathini sikaSolomoni indodana kaDavide, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, akuzange kube khona okunjalo eJerusalema.

U-Azariya umpristi omkhulu wendlu kaSadoki wathi : Kusukela ekuqaleni kokulethwa kweminikelo endlini kaJehova sidlile sasutha , sashiya okuningi, ngokuba uJehova ubusisile abantu bakhe; okuseleyo yile ngcebo.

Babhalwa ngezizukulwane kanye nezingane zabo , nawomkabo, namadodana abo, namadodakazi abo, isixuku sonke, ngokuba bazingcwelisa ngobungcwele ezikhundleni zabo.

Qinani, nime isibindi, ningesabi, ningapheli amandla ngenkosi yase -Asiriya nangesixuku sonke esinayo, ngokuba onathi mkhulu kunonaye;

Ngalokho uHezekiya makanganikhohlisi , anganiyengi ngale ndlela , ningakholwa nguye , ngokuba kwakungekho n kulunkulu nakusiphi isizwe noma kumuphi umbuso owayenamandla okophula abantu bakhe esandleni sami nasesandleni sawobaba ; kakhulu kangakanani anganophula esandleni sami uNkulunkulu wenu na?

Kepha uHezekiya akabuyiselanga okuhle okwenzelwe yena , ngokuba inhliziyo yakhe yayikhukhumele ; ngalokho kwaba khona ulaka phezu kwakhe, naphezu kukaJuda, naphezu kweJerusalema.

Wazenzela nemizi , nemfuyo yezimvu , nezinkomo eziningi , ngokuba uNkulunkulu wayemnike impahla eningi kakhulu.

Hambani ningibuzele kuJehova, mina nabaseleyo kwa-Israyeli nakwaJuda ngamazwi encwadi efunyenweyo , ngokuba inkulu intukuthelo kaJehova ethululelwe phezu kwethu , ngokuba obaba abaligcinanga izwi likaJehova ukwenza njengakho konke okulotshiweyo kule ncwadi. Umprofethikazi uHulida

ngokuba bangishiyile, bashisela abanye onkulunkulu impepho baze bangicunula ngayo yonke imisebenzi yezandla zabo ; intukuthelo yami isithululelwe kule ndawo, ayiyikucinywa.

Ngasemuva azilungiselela wona nabapristi, ngokuba abapristi, amadodana ka-Aroni, babesekunikeleni iminikelo namanoni kwaze kwaba sebusuku ; ngalokho amaLevi azilungiselela wona nabapristi, amadodana ka-Aroni.

Abahlabeleli, amadodana ka -Asafa, babe sendaweni yabo njengokwesiyalezo sikaDavide , no-Asafa, noHemani, noJeduthuni umboni wenkosi; abalindisango babengasesangweni; kwakungadingeki ukuba basuke emsebenzini wabo, ngokuba abafowabo amaLevi babalungisela.

Abacibishelayo bacibishela inkosi ; inkosi yathi ezincekwini zayo : Ngikhipheni, ngokuba ngikhutshaziwe kakhulu.

U-Efrayimi ucindezelekile, uchotshoziwe ekwahlulelweni, ngokuba wavuma ukulandela umyalo oyize.

Ngokuba ngiyakuba njengengonyama ku -Efrayimi, nebhongo lengonyama kuyo indlu yakwaJuda ; mina yebo , mina ngiyakudwengula , besengimuka; ngiyakususa, kungekho owophulayo.

Wozani sibuyele kuJehova, ngokuba yena usidwengulile; uyakusiphulukisa; usishayile, uyakusibopha.

Ngokuba ngifuna uthando , hhayi umhlatshelo ; ngifuma ukumazi uNkulunkulu kuneminikelo yokushiswa.

Lapho bengiyakumphulukisa u -Israyeli, bambulelwa ububi buka -Efrayimi nokubi kweSamariya , ngokuba benza inkohliso , amasela ayafohla , nabaphangi baphanga ngaphandle.

Maye kubo, ngokuba bangibalekele! Makube ngukuchithwa kubo, ngokuba baphambukile kimi ! Bengiyakubahlenga min a labo abakhulume amanga ngami na?

Beka icilongo emlonyeni wakho ; onjengokhozi wehlela indlu kaJehova ; ngokuba beqile isivumelwano sami, baphambuka emthethweni wami.

Ngokuba livela ku -Israyeli; umkhandi walenza, alisiye uNkulunkulu; yebo, ithole laseSamariya liyakuba yizihlephu.

Ungasheshi ukusuka ebusweni bayo, ungemi endabeni embi, ngokuba yenza konke ekuthandayo.

Ngokuba izwi lenkosi liyabusa; ngubani ongasho kuyo ukuthi: Wenzani na?

ngokuba kukhona isikhathi nokwahlulela ezindabeni zonke ; nokho ububi bomuntu bukhulu phezu kwakhe,

lokhu engazi okuyakuba khona , ngokuba ngubani ongamtshela ukuthi kuyakuba kanjani na?

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.

Lapho ngibeka inhliziyo yami uku kwazi ukuhlakanipha nokubona umshikashika owenziwa emhlabeni , ngokuba akakho obona ubuthongo ngamehlo akhe imini nobusuku,

ngase ngiqonda wonke umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ukuthi umuntu akanakuwubamba umsebenzi owenziwa phansi kwelanga , ngokuba noma umuntu eshikashikeka kangakanani ukuwuhlola , angewuthole, yebo, nakuba ohlakaniphileyo ecabanga ukuthi uyawazi, akanakuwuthola.

Ngokuba konke lokho ngakubeka enhliziyweni yami ukuhlola konke lokho ukuthi abalungileyo nabahlakaniphileyo nemisebenzi yabo kusesandleni sikaNkulunkulu; noma kulu thando noma kuyinzondo , akukho muntu okwaziyo; konke kusebusweni babo.

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

Ngokuba abaphilayo bayazi ukuthi bayakufa , kepha abafileyo abazi lutho , futhi abasenawo umvuzo, ngokuba ukukhunjulwa kwabo sekukhohlakele.

Hamba udle isinkwa sakho ngentokozo , uphuze iwayini ngenhliziyo enhle, ngokuba uNkulunkulu usevumile imisebenzi yakho.

Thokoza ngokuphila nomkakho omthandayo zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwakho okuyize, oziphiwayo phansi kwelanga zonke izinsuku zakho eziyize , ngokuba lokhu kuyisabelo sakho kulokho kuphila ngomshikashika wakho owushikashikayo phansi kwelanga.

Konke isandla sakho esikufumanayo ukukwenza, kwenze ngamandla akho, ngokuba akukho msebenzi, namcabango, nakwazi, nakuhlakanipha endaweni yabafileyo, lapho uya khona.

Ngabuye ngabona phansi kwelang a ukuthi ukujaha akuyi ngabanejubane , nokulwa ngamaqhawe , nesinkwa ngabahlakaniphileyo , nengcebo ngabaqondileyo, nomusa ngabanokwazi , ngokuba bonke bahlangabezana nesikhathi nethuba.

Ngokuba umuntu akasazi isikhathi sakhe ; njengezinhlanzi ezibanjwa enetheni elib i nezinyoni ezibanjwa ogibeni , kanjalo amadodana abantu abekelwa isihibe ngesikhathi esibi, lapho siwehlela ngokuzumayo.

Vuka, ngokuba iphezu kwakho le ndaba ; thina sinawe ; yiba nesibindi , ukwenze.

Imihelo yobelethayo iyakumehlela; uyindodana engahlakaniphile, ngokuba kuyisikhathi sokuba angemi lapho kuqhamuka abantwana.

ISamariya liyakuthwala icala lalo , ngokuba lihlubukile uNkulunkulu walo ; bayakuwa ng enkemba, izingane zabo zichotshozwe , abakhulelweyo babo baqaqwe.

Buyela kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, Israyeli, ngokuba ukhubekile ngobubi bakho.

I-Asiriya aliyikusisindisa , asisayikukhwela amahhashi , singasasho kuyo imisebenzi yezandla zethu ukuthi ngonkulunkulu bethu , ngokuba intandane iphiwa umusa kuwe.

Ngiyakuphulukisa ukuhlehla kwabo , ngibathande ngesihle , ngokuba intukuthelo yami ibuyile kubo.

Ngubani ohlakaniphile, aqonde lezi zinto ; ngubani onomqondo, azazi, na? Ngokuba izindlela zikaJehova zilungile ; abalungileyo bayakuhamba ngazo , kepha abaphambukayo bayakukhubeka ngazo.

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

Amasimu achithekile , umhlabathi u yalila, ngokuba amabele achithiwe ; iwayini elisha lishile, amafutha ayawuma.

Jabhani, balimi, nihhewule nina baphathi bezivini ngokolweni nangebhali, ngokuba isivuno samasimu sichithakele.

Umvini ubunile, imikhiwane iwumile; imipomegranati, namasundu, nemi- apula, nemithi yonke yasendle kubunile , ngokuba intokozo ibunile phakathi kwamadodana abantu.

Bhincani, nikhale, bapristi, nihhewule, nina zikhonzi ze -altare; wozani nilale bonke ubusuku ezindwangwini zamasaka , zikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu wami, ngokuba iminikelo yempuphu neminikelo yokuphuzw a kugodliwe endlini kaNkulunkulu wenu.

Hawu lolo suku ! Ngokuba us uku lukaJehova lusondele , lufika njengokuchitha kuvela kuSomandla.

Imbewu iyabola phansi kwamagade ayo ; izingobo zichithakele , izinqolobane zidiliziwe, ngokuba amabele omile.

Yeka, ukububula kwezilwane ! Imihlambi yezinkomo ikhungathekile , ngokuba ayinadlelo, yebo, nemihlambi yezimvu izithwese icala.

Ngikhala kuwe Jehova , ngokuba amadlelo asehlane adliwe ngumlilo , nelangabi lishisile yonke imithi yasendle.

Yebo, nezilwane zasendle ziyakulangazelela , ngokuba imifula yamanzi ishile, nomlilo udlile amadlelo asehlane.

Bethani icilongo eSiyoni , nihlabe umkhosi entabeni yami engcwele; mabathuthumele bonke abakhe ezweni , ngokuba luyeza usuku lukaJehova , ngokuba lusondele;
