uManase u -Efrayimi, no-Efrayimi uManase, bobabili basukele kanyekanye uJuda; kukho konke lokhu intukuthelo yakhe ayibuyi , isandla sakh e siseluliwe.

Wakhulelwa futhi , wazala indodana, wathi: Sengiyakumdumisa uJehova , ngalokho waqamba igama layo ngokuthi uJuda; wayesekhawula ukuzala.

Wayesethi uJuda kubafowabo : Kuyakusizani, uma simbulala umfowethu , sifihle igazi lakhe, na?

Kwathi ngaleso sikhathi uJuda was uka kubafowabo, wehla, waya kumuntu wase-Adulamu ogama lakhe linguHira.

UJuda wabona lapho indodakazi yomuntu waseKhanani ogama lakhe linguShuwa; wayithatha, wangena kuyo.

Yabuye yazala futhi indodana, yaqamba igama layo ngokuthi uShela ; uJuda wayeseKesibi ekuyizaleni kwayo.

UJuda wamthathela u-Eri izibulo lakhe umfazi ogama lakhe linguTamari.

UJuda wathi ku -Onani: Yiya kumkamfowenu , umngene, umvusele umfowenu inzalo.

UJuda wayesethi kuTamari umalokazana wakhe : Hlala ungumfelokazi endlini kayihlo , aze akhule uShela indodana yami , ngokuba wathi : Ukuba angafi njengabafowabo. UTamari waya wahlala kwabo. OJuda noTamari

Emva kwezinsuku eziningi yafa indodakazi kaShuwa umkaJuda ; eseduduzekile uJuda wakhuphuka , waya kubo abagundi bezimvu zakhe eThimna, yena kanye nomhlobo wakhe uHira wase-Adulamu.

UJuda esembona wacabanga ukuthi uyisifebe , ngokuba wayegubuzele ubuso.

UJuda wathuma izinyane lembuzi ngesandla somhlobo wakhe wase - Adulamu ukuba athathe isibambiso esandleni sowesifazane , kepha akamfumananga.

Wathi uJuda: Masizithathele sona, funa sibe nehlazo ; bheka, ngithume leli zinyane, kepha awusifumananga.

Kwathi emva kwezinyanga ezintathu uJuda watshelwa ukuthi : UTamari umalokazana wakho ufebile ; bheka, futhi ukhulelwe ngokufeba kwakhe . UJuda wathi: Mletheni, ashiswe.

Wakuvuma uJuda , wathi: Ulungile kunami , njengokuba ngingamnikanga uShela indodana yami. Akabange esamazi futhi.

UJuda wakhuluma kuye , wathi: Lowo muntu wagoma nokugoma kithina , wathi: Aniyikubona ubuso bami, kuphela uma umfowenu enani.

UJuda wathi ku -Israyeli uyise : Thuma umfana nami , size sisuke , sihambe ukuba siphile, singafi, thina nawe kanye nezingane zethu.

UJuda nabafowabo bafika endlini kaJosefa ; wayesekhona lapho ; bawa phansi phambi kwakhe.

Wathi uJuda : Sizakuthini enkosini yami na ? Sizakukhulumani? Sizakuzihlanguza kanjani ? UNkulunkulu ufumene ububi bezinceku zak ho; bheka, siyizigqila zenkosi yami thina naye etholakele esandleni sakhe indebe.

UJuda wayesesondela kuye, ethi: O nkosi yami, inceku yakho mayikhulume izwi ezindlebeni zenkosi yami , ungavuthi ulaka ngenceku yakho , ngokuba ungangoFaro wena.

Wathuma uJuda ngaphambi kwakhe kuJosefa ukuyokhomba phambi kwakhe indlela eya eGosheni.

UJuda uyibhongo lengonyama . Wenyuke empangweni , ndodana yami . Uguqile, ulele njengengonyama nanjengengonyamakazi ; ngubani oyakumvusa na?

Ayakwahlukanisa izabelo eziyisikhombisa: uJuda uyakuhlala emkhawulweni wakhe ngaseningizimu , indlu kaJosefa ihlale emkhawulweni wayo ngasenyakatho.

UJehova wathi: Kuyakukhuphuka uJuda; bheka, ngilinikele izwe esandleni sakhe.

UJuda wayesethi kuSimeyoni umfowabo : Khuphuka nami, siye esabelweni sami, silwe namaKhanani , nami ngiye esabelweni sakho . USimeyoni wayesehamba naye.

UJuda wakhuphuka ; uJehova wanikela esandleni sabo amaKhanani namaPherizi, babulala kuwo abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi eBezeki.

UJuda wayesehlasela amaKhanani ayakhe eHebroni igama leHebroni laliyiKiriyati Araba kuqala babulala oSheshayi, no-Ahimani, noTalimayi.

UJuda wahamba noSimeyoni umfowabo , bachitha amaKhanan i ayakhe eSefati, baliqothula. Igama lomuzi laliyiHorma.

UJuda wathatha iGaza nomkhawulo walo , ne-Ashikeloni nomkhawulo walo, ne-Ekroni nomkhawulo walo.

UJehova wayenaye uJuda , waxosha abasezintabeni ; wayengenakuxosha kodwa abakhe esigodini, lokhu bebenezinqola zensimbi.

indlu yakho mayibe njengendlu kaPheresi uTamari amzalela uJuda ngenzalo uJehova ayakukunika yona ngale ntombazana.

Yayisibuya inkosi , yafika eJordani ; uJuda wafika eGiligali ukuba ayihlangabeze inkosi, ayiwelise inkosi iJordani.

Wayesehamba u-Amasa ukubutha uJuda, kepha walibala phezu kwesikhathi asinqunyelweyo.

UJuda wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , bamvusela umhawu naphezu kwakho konke ababekwenzile oyise ngezono zabo abazenzayo.

UBahasha inkosi yakwa-Israyeli wenyuka ukuhlasela uJuda, wakha iRama, ukuze angavumeli muntu ukuphuma nokungena ku-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda.

Inkosi u-Asa yayisibiza wonke uJuda , akwababikho owayenokuzilandulela, basusa amatshe aseRama nemithi yalo uBahasha ayakhe ngakho; inkosi u-Asa yakha ngakho iGeba lakwaBenjamini neMispa.

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

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

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

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

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

Nokho uJehova akabuyanga ekuvutheni kwent ukuthelo yakhe enkulu , intukuthelo yakhe eyavuthela ngakho uJuda, ngenxa yakho konke ukucunula uManase ayemcunule ngakho.

UJehova wathi : Naye uJuda ngiyakumsusa ebusweni bami , njengalokho ngisuse u -Israyeli, ngiwulahle lo muzi engawukhethayo , nendlu eng asho ngayo ukuthi igama lami liyakuba khona lapho.

Inkosi yaseBabele yabashaya , yababulala eRibila ezweni laseHamati . Wathunjwa kanjalo uJuda ezweni lakubo.

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

kepha uJehosadaki wamuka lapho uJehova ethumba uJuda neJerusalema ngesandla sikaNebukadinesari.

Wabhalwa-ke wonke u -Israyeli ngezizukulwane ; bheka, balotshiwe encwadini yamakhosi akwa -Israyeli; uJuda wathunjelw a eBabele ngeziphambeko zakhe.

UJowabe wanika uDavide umumo wabantu ababaliweyo ; wonke u -Israyeli wayeyizinkulungwane eziyinkulungwane nezinkulungw ane eziyikhulu abahloma inkemba ; uJuda wayeyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane namashumi ayisikhombisa.

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,

Lapho uJuda esephenduka , bheka, impi yayingaphambili nangasemva kwabo; bakhala kuJehova, abapristi bakhalisa amacilongo.

wamtshela uJuda ukuba amfune uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise , awenze umthetho nemiyalo.

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.

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

Kepha u-Asa inkosi wahamba naye wonke uJuda ; basusa amatshe aseRama nemithi yalo uBahasha ayelakhe ngakho; wakha ngakho iGeba neMispa. Isiprofetho sikaHanani

Ngalokho uJehova wawuqinisa umbuso esandleni sakhe ; wonke uJuda wathela intela kuJehoshafati, wayenengcebo nodumo olukhulu.

UJuda wabuthana ukucela ukusizwa nguJehova ; baphuma emizini yonke yakwaJuda, bafika ukumfuna uJehova.

Wonke uJuda wayemi phambi kukaJehova , nezingane zabo, nawomkabo, namadodana abo.

Wayesekhothama uJehoshafati, ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi; wonke uJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema bawa phambi kukaJehova bekhuleka kuJehova.

Lapho sebeqala ukuhalalisa nokudumisa , uJehova wabeka abaqamekeli babantwana bakwa -Amoni, nabakwaMowabi, nabaseSeyiri, ababefikele uJuda, banqotshwa.

UJuda esefike embonisweni wasehlane , babheka isixuku ; bheka, babe yizidumbu nje eziwele phansi, akusindanga noyedwa.

Futhi wenza izindawo eziphakemeyo ezindaweni zakwaJuda, wenza ukuba abakhileyo eJerusalema baphinge, wayenga uJuda.

kepha uhambe ngendlela yamakhosi akwa -Israyeli, wenza uJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema ukuba baphinge njengokwenza kwendlu ka -Ahabi, futhi wabulala abafowenu bendlu kayihlo abahle kunawe,

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.

Bayishiya indlu kaJehov a uNkulunkulu wawoyise , bakhonza o -Ashera nezithombe; uJuda neJerusalema kwehlelwa yintukuthelo ngaleli cala labo.

Futhi u-Amasiya wabutha uJuda, wabamisa ngokwezindlu zawoyise phansi kwezinduna zezinkulungwane nezinduna zamakhulu , oJuda wonke noBenjamini; wababala kusukela kwabaneminyaka en gamashumi amabili kuya phezulu , wabafumana beyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu abakhethekileyo abangaphuma impi nabangaphatha umkhonto nesihlangu.

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

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

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.

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.

Emva kwalokho uSaneheribi inkosi yase -Asiriya wathuma izinceku za khe eJerusalema wayephambi kweLakishi nab o bonke ababusi benaye kuHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda nakuye wonke uJuda waseJerusalema, wathi:

Yena lowo Hezekiya akasusanga yini izindawo eziphakemeyo nama -altare akhe, wayala uJuda neJerusalema, wathi: Niyakukhuleka phambi kwe-altare linye, nishise impepho, na?

UHezekiya wayeselala koyise ; bammbela emmangweni wamathuna amadodana kaDavide ; wonke uJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema bamenzela udumo ekufeni kwakhe. UManase indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

UManase wadukisa uJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema , baze benza okubi kunabezizwe uJehova abachitha phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Ngomnyaka wesishiyagalombili wokubusa kwakhe esengumfana waqal a ukufuna uNkulunkulu kaDavide uyise ; ngomnyaka weshumi nambili waqala ukuhlambulula uJuda neJerusalema , wasusa izindawo eziphakemeyo , nawo- Ashera, nezithombe ezibaziweyo, nezithombe ezibunjiweyo.

Wawashisa amathambo abapristi ema -altare abo , wahlambulula uJuda neJerusalema.

Bafika kuHilikiya umpristi omkhulu , bayinikeza imali eyayilethwe endlini kaNkulunkulu iqoqwe ngamaLevi, abalindisango, esandleni sakwaManase no- Efrayimi, nakuyo yonke insali yakwa -Israyeli, nakuye wonke uJuda noBenjamini, nakwabakhileyo eJerusalema;

Alenziwanga iphasika elinjengalelo kwa -Israyeli kusukela emihleni kaSamuweli umprofethi , nawo onke amakhosi akwa -Israyeli awenzanga iphasika elinjengalelo elenziwa nguJosiya, nabapristi, namaLevi, naye wonke uJuda no-Israyeli owayekhona, kanye nabakhileyo eJerusalema.

Izinceku zayo zayikhipha enqoleni , zayikhwelisa enqoleni yesibili eyayinayo, zayiyisa eJerusalema ; yafa, yembelwa emathuneni awoyise . Wonke uJuda neJerusalema bamlilela uJosiya.

UJuda wathi : Amandla abathwalayo aphelile ; amabibi maningi ; asisenakuluvusa ugange.

UJoweli, indodana kaZikir i, wayengumbonisi; uJuda, indodana kaHasenuwa, wayengowesibili emzini.

Ngalolo suku amiswa amadoda ukuba abe ngabaphathi bamakamelo engcebo, nabeminikelo yokuphakanyiswa, nabolibo, nabokweshumi ukuba baqoqele kuwo njengamasimu emizi izabelo ezinqunyelwe abapristi namaLevi ngomthetho , ngokuba uJuda wathokoza ngabapristi namaLevi asebebekiwe.

Wonke uJuda wayeseletha okweshumi kwamabele , nokwewayini, nokwamafutha engcebeni.

Ngowami uGileyadi , ngowami uManase ; u-Efrayimi uyisivikelo sekhanda lami, uJuda uyintonga yami yokubusa.

Ngowami uGileyadi , ngowami uManase ; u-Efrayimi uyisivikelo sekhanda lami, uJuda uyintonga yami yokubusa.

khona uJuda waba yindlu yakhe engcwele, u-Israyeli waba ngumbuso wakhe.

Umhawu ka-Efrayimi uyakusuka, nabacindezela uJuda bayakunqunywa; u- Efrayimi akayikuba namhawu ngoJuda, noJuda kayikucindezela u-Efrayimi.

Ngathi uzakubuyela kimi esekwenzile konke lokhu , kodwa akabu yanga; udadewabo okhohlisayo, uJuda, wakubona.

Ngabona ukuthi noma ngangimlahlile u -Israyeli ohlehlayo ngalesi sizathu sokuthi uphingile, ngamnika incwadi yesahlukaniso, udadewabo okhohlisayo, uJuda, akesabanga nokho, kepha waya wafeba naye,

Kepha kukho konke lokhu udadewabo okhohlisayo , uJuda, akabuyelanga kimi ngenhliziyo yonke, kuphela ngokuzenzisa nje, usho uJehova.

Imizi yaseningizimu ivaliwe , akakho ovulayo ; wonke uJuda uthunjiwe , uthunjiwe ngokupheleleyo.

UJuda uyalila , amasango akhe ad angele, ahlezi emhlabathini edabukile , nokukhala kweJerusalema kwenyukile.

Umlahlile nokumlahla uJuda na ? Umphefumulo wakho unengiwe yiSiyoni na? Usishayeleni, singabi nakuphulukiswa , na? Sihlalela ukuthula , kepha okuhle akukho; nesikhathi sokuphulukiswa, kepha luvalo.

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.

Ezinsukwini zalo uJuda uyakusindiswa, u-Israyeli ahlale elondekile ; nanti igama eliyakubizwa ngalo lokuthi: UJEHOVA UNGUKULUNGA KWETHU.

UHezekiya inko si yakwaJuda naye wonke uJuda bambulala impela na ? Angithi bamesaba uJehova , bamncenga uJehova , uJehova wabuya kukho okubi ayekukhulume kubo , na? Besiyakwenza okubi okukhulu kuyo imiphefumulo yethu.

UJuda nayo yonke imizi yakhe bayakuhlala kulo ndawonye , abalimi nabahamba nemihlambi.

Bazakha izindawo eziphakemeyo zikaBali ezisesigodini sendodana kaHinomu ukuba badabulise amadodana abo namadodakazi abo emlilweni kuMoloki, engingabayalanga ngakho, nokungangenanga enhliziyweni ukuthi bayakusenza lesi sinengiso ukuze bamonise uJuda.

Ngalezo zinsuku uJuda uyakusindiswa, neJerusalema liyakuhlala lilondekile; yileli gama eliyakubizwa ngalo , elithi: UJEHOVA UNGUKULUNGA KWETHU.

Ngalokho usho ka nje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Bheka, ngiyakubhekisa ubuso bami kini kube kubi, kunqunywe uJuda wonke.

Inkosi yaseBabele yabashaya, yababulala eRibila ezweni laseHamati . Wathunjwa kanjalo uJuda ezweni lakubo.

UJuda uthunjiwe ngenxa yokuhlupheka nobugqila obuningi; uhlala phakathi kwabezizwe, katholi ukuphumula; bonke abamzingelayo bamf ica ephakathi kobuhlungu.

UJuda nezwe lakwa -Israyeli babe ngabathengi bakho ; benana impahla yakho ngokolweni waseMiniti , nangawojeqe, nangezinyosi, nangamafutha, nangebhalisamu.

Ngasemkhawulweni wakwaRubeni , kusukela ohlangothini lwasempumalanga kuze kube sohlangothini lwasentshonalanga, uJuda uyakuba nesabelo.

Noma wena Israyeli ufeba, uJuda makangazitholeli icala; ningayi eGiligali, ningenyukeli eBeti Aveni, ningafungi ngokuthi: Kuphila kukaJehova.

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

U-Efrayimi uyisithole esifundisiweyo , esithanda ukubhula amabele ; kepha mina ngiyekile intamo yaso enhle ; sengiyakumbophela u -Efrayimi, uJuda alime, uJakobe azidubele.

U-Efrayimi ungizungezile ngamanga , nendlu yakwa -Israyeli ngenkohliso ; uJuda usazulazula kuNkulunkulu nakoNgcwele othembekileyo.

Kepha uJuda uyakuhlala kuze kube phakade, neJerusalema ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane.

Ngathi: Laba bafike ukwenzani na? Wakhuluma wathi: Leziya ziyizimpondo ezazimhlakaza uJuda ngangokuba kungabangakho muntu ophakamisa ikhanda lakhe , kepha laba bafikile ukubashaya ngovalo , bawise phansi izimpondo zabezizwe ezaziphakamisa uphon do ngezwe lakwaJuda ukuba lihlakazwe.

Ngokuba ngizigobela uJuda njengomnsalo , ngibeka u -Efrayimi kuwo , ngivusela amadodana akho , Siyoni, kumadodana akho , Javani, ngikwenze inkemba yeqhawe.

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

U-Abrahama wazala u -Isaka, u-Isaka wazala uJakobe , uJakobe wazala uJuda nabafowabo;

uJuda wazala oFaresi noZara kuTamari , uFaresi wazala u -Esiromu, u- Esiromu wazala u-Aramu;

Khona kwasuka omunye wabayishumi nambili othiwa uJuda Iskariyothe , waya kubapristi abakhulu,

Wayesephendula uJuda omkhaphelayo , wathi: Kungaba yimi , Rabi, na? Wathi kuye: Usho khona.

Esakhuluma, bheka, kwafika uJuda , omunye wabayishumi nambili , enesixuku esikhulu sinezinkemba nezind uku, sivela kubapristi abakhulu namalunga esizwe.

UJuda Iskariyothe , omunye wabayishumi nambili , wayeseya kubapristi abakhulu ukuba amkhaphele kubo.

Khona masinyane esakhuluma , kwafika uJuda , omunye wabayishumi nambili, enesixuku esinezinkemba nezinduku , sivela kubapristi abakhulu nababhali namalunga.

Esakhuluma, bheka, kwafika isixuku ; naye othiwa uJuda , omunye wabayishumi nambili , wayehamba phambi kwabo , wasondela kuJesu ukumanga.

Kepha uJuda Iskariyothe , omunye wabafundi bakhe obezakumkhaphela , wathi:

Ngakho waphendula uJesu , wathi: Yilowo engiyakumcwilisela ucezu , ngimnike lona. Eselucwilisile-ke ucezu, walunika uJuda Iskariyothe.

Kepha abanye bacabanga ukuthi , ngokuba uJuda ephethe isikhwama , uJesu uthi kuye : Thenga esikuswele emkhosin i, noma ukuthi kabele abampofu okuthile.

UJuda, ongesiye u -Iskariyothe, wathi kuye : Nkosi, kwenziwa yini ukuba uyakuzibonakalisa kithina, ungazibonakalisi kulo izwe, na?

Khona uJuda, esethole isigaba samabutho nezikhonzi kubapristi abakhulu nabaFarisi, waya lapho, benezihlanti nezibani nezikhali.

Bamphendula bathi : UJesu waseNazaretha . UJesu wathi kubo : Yimina. UJuda omkhaphelayo wayemi nabo.

ukuba athathe isikhundla sale nkonzo nobuphostoli aphambuka kuso uJuda ukuya endaweni yakhe.

Emva kwalowo kwasuka uJuda waseGalile ezinsukwini zokubhalwa ; wahlubukisa abantu ukuba bamlandele ; nalowo wabhubha , nabo bonke abamlalelayo bahlakazeka.

Khona kwaba kuhle kubaphostoli namalunga nakulo ibandla lonke ukuthumela e -Antiyokiya noPawulu noBarnaba amadoda akhethiweyo phakathi kwabo , uJuda o thiwa uBarsaba noSila , amadoda angabaholi phakathi kwabazalwane,

UJuda inceku kaJesu K ristu, umfowabo kaJakobe , kubo ababiziweyo abathandwa kuNkulunkulu uYise nabagcinelwe uJesu Kristu:

Yilabo abakhononayo nabasolayo , behamba ngezinkanuko zabo , umlomo wabo ukhuluma uwangala, betusa ubuso ngenxa yenzuzo. UJuda ululeka ukuba baqine ekukholweni
