Ngalokho inceku yakho ake ihlale esikhundleni somfana , ibe yisigqila senkosi, umfana akhuphuke nabafowabo.

Akabonanga ingozi kuJakobe , akabukanga nankathazo kwa -Israyeli. UJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe unaye, nesenanelo senkosi siphakathi kwabo.

Bonke abaprofethi baprofetha kanje , bathi: Yenyukela eRamoti Gil eyadi, ube nempumelelo, ngokuba uJehova uyakulinikela esandleni senkosi.

Esefikile enkosini , inkosi yathi kuye : Mikhaya, sihambe silwe neRamoti Gileyadi, noma siliyeke , na? Wathi kuyo: Yenyuka, ube nempumelelo ; uJehova uyakulinikela esandleni senkosi.

Niyakukhuluma kanje kuHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda , nithi: UNkulunkulu wakho omethembayo makangakukhohlisi ngokuthi iJerusalema aliyikunikelwa esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya.

Bamenzela ugobe , bamkhanda ngamatshe ngesiyalezo senkosi egcekeni lendlu kaJehova.

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

Babutha abafowabo , bazingcwelisa, bangena njengesiyalezo senkosi ngamazwi kaJehova ukuba bayihlambulule indlu kaJehova.

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

NakwaJuda sasikhona isandla sikaNkulunkulu ukubanika inhliziyonye ukuba benze isiyalezo senkosi nesezikhulu ngezwi likaJehova.

Yayisilungiswa-ke inkonzo ; abapristi bema ezindaweni zabo namaLevi ngezigaba zawo njengesiyalezo senkosi.

Yayisilungiswa-ke inkonzo kaJehova ngalusuku lunye ukwe nza iphasika nokunikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa e -altare likaJehova njengesiyalezo senkosi uJosiya.

Zase zithi izinceku zenkosi ezazisesangweni lenkosi kuMoridekayi: Weqelani isiyalezo senkosi na?

wehlisela phezu kwami umusa phambi kwenkosi , nabeluleki bayo , naphambi kwezikhulu zonke zenkosi ezingamaqhawe . Mina ngaqiniswa ngokwesandla seNkosi uNkulunkulu wami esasiphezu kwami, ngabutha ku- Israyeli abayizinhloko ukuba bakhuphuke nami.

Ngalokho masenze isivumelwano noNkulunkulu wethu ukuba silahle bonke abesifazane nabazelwe yibo ngesiluleko senkosi nesabathuthumela ngomyalo kaNkulunkulu wethu; akwenziwe ngomthetho.

UPhethahiya, indodana kaMeshezabeli, wabantwana bakwaZera, indodana kaJuda, wayengasesandleni senkosi ezindabeni zonke zabantu.

Baphuziswa ngezitsha zegolide , izitsha zahlukene , ezinye nezinye , iwayini lamakhosi eliningi njengokwesandla senkosi.

Kepha inkosikazi uVashiti yenqaba ukuza ngesiyalezo senkosi ngesandla sezinduna; ngalokho inkosi yathukuthela kakhulu , ulaka lwayo lwashisa phakathi kwayo.

Lapho isimemezelo senkosi eyakusenza sesiyakuzwakala embusweni wayo wonke, ngokuba mkhulu bonke abafazi bayakuwahlonipha amadoda abo , amakhulu namancane.

Uma kukuhle enkosini , makulotshwe ukuba sichithwe ; ngiyakukhokhela amatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi esiliva ezandleni zabenza umsebenzi wenkosi, ayiswe esikhwameni senkosi.

UMoridekayi wamtshela konke okumehleleyo nenani lemali uHamani ayethembisile ukulikhokhela esikhwameni senkosi ngabaJuda ukuba babhujiswe.

Ngokuba esandleni seNkosi kukhona isitsha; iwayini liyakhephuza; sigcwele ngeliqungiweyo, yona iyathulula ngaso ; impela bonke ababi emhlabeni bayakuyimunca inhleze yalo, bayiphuze.

Ngiyakubanikeza abaseGibith e esandleni senkosi elukhuni , nenkosi enamandla iyakubusa phezu kwabo, isho iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti.

futhi uHezekiya makanganenzi nethembe uJehova ngokuthi : U Jehova uyakusophula nokusophula , nalo muzi awuyikunikelwa esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya.

Xwayani ukuba uHezekiya anganiyengi ngokuthi : UJehova uyakusophula. Abanye onkulunkulu bezizwe bake bophula nokophula yini izwe lakubo esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya na?

Niyakukhuluma kanje kuHezekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, nithi: UNkulunkulu wakho omethembayo makangakukhohlisi ngokuthi iJerusalema aliyikunikelwa esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya.

Ngiyakophula wena nalo muzi esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya, ngiwuvikele lo muzi.

Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Bheka, ngiyakukwenza ukuba ube luvalo kuwe uqobo nakubo bonke abangane bakho ; bayakuwa ngenkemba yezitha zabo, amehlo akho akubone ; ngiyakunikela wonke uJuda esandleni senkosi yaseBabele, ibathumbele eBabele, ibabulale ngenkemba.

Ngokuba ngibhekise ubuso bami kulo muzi kube kubi , kungabi kuhle, usho uJehova; uyakunikelwa esandleni senkosi yaseBabele, iwushise ngomlilo.

lapho uSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda ebemvalele khona ngokuthi : Uprofethelani uthi : U sho kanje uJehova , uthi: Bheka, ngiyakuwunikela lo muzi esandleni senkosi yaseBabele, iwuthathe,

uSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda angaphunyuki esandleni samaKaledi , kepha anikelwe nokunikelwa esandleni senkosi yaseBabele, akhulume nayo umlomo nomlomo, amehlo akhe awabone amehlo ayo,

Ngalokho manje usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli ngalo muzi enithi ngawo : U nikelwe esandleni senkosi yaseBabele ngenkemba , nangendlala, nangesifo, uthi:

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

uSedekiya inkosi wathumela wamlanda ; inkosi yambuza ngasese endlini yayo, yathi: Kukhona izwi elivela kuJehova na ? UJeremiya wathi: Likhona. Wathi futhi: Uyakunikelwa esandleni senkosi yaseBabele.

Bayakukhiphela amaKaledi bonke abafazi bakho nabantwana bakho ; awuyikuphunyuka esandleni sabo , kepha uyakubanjwa ngesandla senkosi yaseBabele, wenze ukuba lo muzi ushiswe ngomlilo.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wesithupha ngenyanga yesithupha ngolwesihlanu lwenyanga lapho ngihlezi endlini yami , amalunga akwaJu da ehlezi ngaphambi kwami, isandla seNkosi uJehova sawela lapho phezu kwami.

Yebo, ngiyakuqinisa izingalo zenkosi yaseBabele , izingalo zikaFaro ziwe , bazi ukuthi nginguJehova , lapho ngibeka inkemba yami esandleni senkosi yaseBabele; yona iyakuyelula phezu kwezwe laseGibithe.

Bonke abongameli bombuso , nababusi, nezikhulu, nabomkhandlu, nezinduna balulekene kanyekanye ukuba kumiswe isimiso senkosi , kumenyezelwe isiyalezo esiqinileyo sokuthi yilowo nalowo ocela isicelo nakumuphi unkulunkulu noma kumuntu ngezinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu, kuphela kuwe nkosi , uyakuphonswa emph andwini wezingonyama.

Asondela, akhuluma phambi kwenkosi ngesiyalezo senkosi , athi: Asithi ulobile isiyalezo sokuthi yilowo nalowo ocela nakumuphi unkulunk ulu noma kumuntu ngezinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu , kuphela kuwe nkosi , uyakuphonswa emphandwini wezingonyama na ? Inkosi yaphendula yathi : Iqinisile leyo nto ngokomthetho wamaMede namaPheresiya ongenakuguquka.

Ngokuba angisayikubahawukela abakhileyo ezweni , usho uJehova , kepha bheka, ngiyakunikela abantu, kube yilowo nalowo esandleni somakhelwane wakhe nasesandleni senkosi yakhe ; bona bayakushaya izwe labo , kepha angiyikubophula esandleni sabo.

Lonke izwe liyakuphenduka ithafa kusukela eGeba kuze kube seRimoni ngaseningizimu kwaseJerusalema; liyakuphakanyiswa, lihlale endaweni yalo, kusukela eSangweni likaBenjamini kuze kube sendaweni yesango lakuqala , kuze kube seSangweni Lasegumbini , kusukela eMbhoshongweni kaHananeli kuze kube sesikhamweni sewayini senkosi.

nabo bonke abazizwayo bazigcina ezinhliziyweni zabo , bethi: Kodwa lo mntwana uyakuba yini na? Isandla seNkosi sasinaye.

Kuthe bengena, abasifumananga isidumbu seNkosi uJesu.

Isandla seNkosi sasinabo ; kwakholwa abaningi kakhulu , baphendukela eNkosini.

Bheka, isandla seNkosi siphezu kwakho manje . Uzakuba yimpumputhe , kube yisikhathi ungaliboni ilanga . Kwase kumfikela khona lapho ukufiphala nobumnyama, wahamba efuna abazakumhola ngesandla.

Khona umbusi esebona okwenzekileyo wakholwa , emangaliswa ngesifundiso seNkosi. UPawulu ushumayela e-Antiyokiya lasePhisidiya

Ningesiphuze isitsha seNkosi kanye nesitsha samademoni ; ningelihlanganyele itafula leNkosi kanye netafula lamademoni.

Kepha uma umuntu efuna ukuphika inkani, asinawo umkhuba onjalo thina, namabandla kaNkulunkulu kawanawo. Indlela yokuphatha isidlo seNkosi

Ngakho-ke nxa nibuthana ndawonye, akusikho ukudla isidlo seNkosi lokho;

Ngakho-ke lowo odla lesi sinkwa , aphuze lesi sitsha seNkosi ngokungafanele, unecala lomzimba negazi leNkosi.

Kepha kimi makungabikho nakanye ukuzibonga, kuphela ngesiphambano seNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, okubethelwe ngaye izwe kimi nami kulo izwe.
