Inkazimulo yaseLebanoni iyakuza kuwe , umsayipuresi, nomthidari, nomkhoba kanyekanye , ukuyihlobisa indawo yendlu yami engcwele , ngiyikhazimulise indawo yezinyawo zami.

Kepha u-Abrama wathi : Nkosi Jehova , uyakungiphani na ? Ngihamba ngingenamntwana; indlalifa yendlu yami ingu-Eliyezeri waseDamaseku.

U-Abrama wathi futhi : Bheka, awunginikanga nzalo; bheka, inceku yendlu yami iyakuba yindlalifa yami.

Wayesethi u -Abrahama encekwini enkulu yendlu yakhe eya yibusa konke anakho: Beka isandla sakho phansi kwethanga lami.

Asondela-ke encekwini yendlu kaJosefa , akhuluma kuyo ngasemnyango wendlu,

Wayala inceku yendlu yakhe , wathi: Gcwalisa amasaka alawa madoda ngokudla okulingene namandla abo okuthwala , ufake imali yalowo nalowo emlonyeni wesaka lakhe.

Kalokhu akuyinina enangithuma lapha, kepha uNkulunkulu; ungibeke uyise kaFaro, nenkosi yendlu yakhe yonke, nombusi wezwe lonke laseGibithe.

Amanzi amaningi awanakulucima uthando, nemifula ayinakuluminzisa; uma umuntu ebeyakunika yonke impahla yendlu yakhe ngothando , nokho ubeyakwaliwa nokwaliwa. Umakoti nabafowabo Abangane:

OBesaleli no -Oholiyabe bayakusebenza nabo bonke abahlakaniphile ngenhliziyo, uJehova abeke kubo ukuhlakanipha nokuqonda ukuba bazi ukwenza yonke imisebenzi yenkonzo yendlu e ngcwele njengakho konke uJehova akuyalileyo.

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

Bonke abahlakaniphileyo ababeyisebenza yonke imisebenzi yendlu engcwele beza, kwaba yilowo nalowo wavela emsebenzini wakhe owawusebenzayo,

Anidlanga ngani umnikelo wesono endaweni yendlu engcwele, njengokuba ungcwelengcwele, futhi niphiwe wona ukuba nisuse ububi benhlangano , niyenzele ukubuyisana phambi kukaJehova, na?

Kuyakuthi ngezinsuku ezizay o intaba yendlu kaJehova iqiniswe esiqongweni sezintaba , iphakame kunamagquma , nezizwe zonke ziyakugobhozela khona.

Kanye nani kuzakuba khona indoda ibe nye kuleso naleso sizwe , yileyo naleyo ibe yinhloko yendlu kayise.

Njengokomumo wabo bonke abesilisa kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu babe yizinkulungwane eziyisishiyagalombili namakhulu ayisithupha, begcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele.

U-Eleyazare indodana ka -Aroni umpristi uyakuba yisikhulu sezikhulu zamaLevi, abonise abagcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele.

Labo ab amisa phambi kwetabernakele ngasempumalanga , ngaphambi kwetende lokuhlangana ngasekuphumeni kwelanga , bayakuba ngoMose no - Aroni namadodana akhe, begcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele, begcina imfanelo yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; umfokazi osondelayo uyakubulawa.

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

Kwathi ngolwangakusasa uMose wangena etendeni lobufakazi ; bheka, intonga ka -Aroni yendlu kaLevi ibisihlum ile, ivezile imiqumbe , iqhakazile izimbali, ithele ama-alimondi avuthiweyo.

Bayakugcina imfanelo yakho nenkonzo yetende lonke ; kodwa abayikusondela empahleni yendlu engcwele nase -altare, ukuze bangafi, nabo nani.

Niyakugcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele nenkonzo yase -altare, ukuze ulaka lungabe lusaba khona phezu kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

UMose wabathuma empini , kwaba yinkulung wane kuleso naleso sizwe , bona noFinehasi indodana ka -Eleyazare umpristi, baye naye empini ephethe impahla yendlu engcwele namacilongo okuhlaba umkhosi esandleni sakhe.

Kuyakuthi yilowo nalowo ophumela ngaphandle kweminyango yendlu yakho, igazi lakhe libe sekhanda lakhe , thina singabi nacala ; kodwa lowo okuwe endlini , igazi lakhe liyakuba sekhanda lethu , uma si bekwa isandla kuye.

Lapho bezwa lokho bonke abasembhoshongweni waseS hekemi, bangena enqabeni yendlu yase-Eli Beriti.

nezikhulu eziyishumi kanye naye , isikhulu sibe sinye ngendlu kayise ezizweni zonke zakwa -Israyeli, yileso naleso siyinhloko yendlu kayise phakathi kwemindeni yakwa-Israyeli.

kuyakuthi noma yikuphi okuphuma eminyango yendlu yami ukungihlangabeza, lapho ngibuya ngokuthula kubantwana bakwa -Amoni, kube ngokukaJehova, nginikele ngakho kube ngumnikelo wokushiswa.

Inkosi yakhe yavuka ekuseni , yavula iminya ngo yendlu , yaphuma ukuba ihambe indlela yayo ; bheka, owesifazane, isancinza sakhe , wayewile ngasemnyango wendlu, izandla zakhe ziphezu kombundu.

Bheka, izinsuku ziyeza engiyakunquma ngazo ingalo yakho nengalo yendlu kayihlo ukuba kungabikho xhegu endlini yakho.

Kepha angiyikumnquma umuntu wakho e -altare lami ukuba aqede amehlo akho, abangele usizi umphefumulo wakho ; yonke inzalo yendlu yakho iyakufa isebudodeni bayo.

USamuweli walala kwaze kwasa , wavula iminyango yendlu kaJehova . USamuweli wesaba ukumtshela u-Eli umbono.

Bafika abantu bakwaJuda , bamgcoba khona uDavide abe yinkosi yendlu yakwaJuda. Bamtshela uDavide ukuthi : Abantu baseJabesh i Gileyadi yibo abammbela uSawule.

Kweza naye abantu abayinkulungwane bakwaBenjamini , noSiba inceku yendlu kaSawule , namadodana akhe ayishumi nanhlanu , nezinceku zakhe ezingamashumi amabili zinaye; bawela iJordani phambi kwenkosi.

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

Sekuphelile wonke umsebenzi inkosi uSolomoni eyawenzayo endlini kaJehova, uSolomoni wangenisa izinto uyise uDavide ay ezingcwelisile, isiliva, negolide, nezitsha, wakubeka engcebeni yendlu kaJehova.

Kepha lowo muntu kaN kulunkulu wathi enkosini : Noma unginika inxenye yendlu yakho, angiyikuya khona nawe ; futhi angiyikudla isinkwa , ngiphuze amanzi kuleyo ndawo;

Wathatha ingcebo yendlu kaJehova nengcebo yendlu yenkosi , yebo, wathatha konke, wathatha zonke izihlangu zegolide ezenziwe nguSolomoni.

U-Asa wayesethatha lonke isiliva negolide elalisele engcebeni yendlu kaJehova nengcebo yendlu yenkosi , wakunikela ezandleni zezinceku zakhe ; inkosi u -Asa yazithuma kuBeni Hadadi indodana kaTabirimoni kaHeziyoni , inkosi yase-Aramu, owayehlala eDamaseku, yathi:

Kwathi uZimri esebonile ukuthi umuzi uthathiwe , wangena enqabeni yendlu yenkosi, wayishisa indlu yenkosi phezu kwakhe ngomlilo, wafa

Wahamba ngendlela yendlu ka -Ahabi, wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengokwenza kwendlu ka-Ahabi, ngokuba wayengumkhwenyana wendlu ka- Ahabi.

U-Ahaziya, inkosi yakwaJuda, esebone lokho wabaleka ngendlela yendlu yasensimini. Kepha uJehu wamlandela , wathi: Mbulaleni naye enqoleni yakhe. Benze njalo -ke ngasemmangweni waseGuri ongaseJibileyamu . Wabalekela eMegido, wafela khona.

UPheka, indodana kaRemaliya, induna yakhe wamenzela ugobe, wamgenca eSamariya enqabeni yendlu yenkosi kanye no-Arigobi no-Ariye; wayenabantu bakwaGileyadi abangamashumi ayisihlanu ; wambulala, waba yi nkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

UManase wayeselala koyise, wembelwa ensimini yendlu yakhe , insimu ka- Uza; u-Amoni indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Yakhipha khona yonke ingcebo yendlu kaJehova nengcebo yendlu yenkosi , yahlahlela zonke izinto zeg olide uSolomoni inkosi yakwa -Israyeli azenzileyo ethempelini likaJehova njengokukhuluma kukaJehova.

Amadodana kaShela indodana kaJud a: ngu-Eri, uyise kaLekha, noLahada uyise kaMaresha, nemindeni yendlu yabaluka ilineni elicolekileyo bendlu ka - Ashibeya,

Yilabo ababe ngamadodana kaLevi ngezindlu zawoyise, izinhloko zawoyise, bebalwa ngomumo wamaga ma ngezinhloko zabo , abawenza umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaJehova , kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabili kuya phezulu.

KumaLevi u -Ahiya wayephethe ingcebo yendlu kaNkulunkulu nengcebo yezinto ezingcwele.

nesifanekiso sakho konke ayenakho emicabangweni yakhe ngamagceke endlu kaJehova , nangamakamelo nxazonke , nangengcebo yendlu kaNkulunkulu, nangengcebo yezinto ezingcwele;

nangezigaba zabapristi nezamaLevi , nangawo wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaJehova, nangazo zonke izitsha zenkonzo endlini kaJehova;

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.

zanikela enkonzweni yendlu kaNkulunkulu amatalenta ayizinkulung wane eziyisihlanu egolide, namadarike ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi, namatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi esiliva , namatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili ethusi , namatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu ensimbi.

Ababe namatshe bawanikela engcebeni yendlu kaJehova phansi kwesandla sikaJehiyeli umGereshoni.

nezizenze, nezitsha, nezinkezo, nemicengezi yomlilo , ngegolide elicwengekileyo; iminyango-ke yendlu, izivalo zayo ezingaphakathi zendawo engcwelengcwele nezivalo zendlu yethempeli, zaziyigolide.

Wawusuphela-ke wonke umsebenzi uSolomoni awenzela indlu kaJehova . USolomoni wangenisa izinto ezazingcweliswe nguDavide uyise , kanye nesiliva negolide , nazo zonke izitsha , wakubeka engcebeni yendlu kaNkulunkulu.

UShishaki, inkosi yaseGibithe , wakhuphukela eJerusalema , wathatha ingcebo yendlu kaJehova nengcebo yendlu yenkosi , yebo, wathatha konke, wathatha izihlangu zegolide ezenziwe nguSolomoni.

U-Asa wakhipha isiliva negolide engcebeni yendlu kaJeho va nasendlini yenkosi, wathumela kuBeni Hadadi, inkosi yase-Aramu owahlala eDamaseku, wathi:

Kepha u-Athaliya, unina ka-Ahaziya, esebonile ukuthi indodana yakhe ifile wasuka wachitha yonke imbewu yobukhosi yendlu kaJuda.

Wathatha lonke igolide nesiliva , nazo zonke izitsha ezafunyanwa end lini kaJehova ku -Obede Edomi , nengcebo yendlu yenkosi , nabayisibambiso, wabuyela eSamariya.

Neminikelo yokushiswa yayiminingi kanye namanoni eminikelo yokuthula neminikelo yokuphuzwa yeminikelo yokushiswa . Yayisihleliwe in konzo yendlu kaJehova.

Emisebenzini yonke ayiqalayo enkonzweni yendlu kaNkulunkulu , nasemthethweni, nasemiyalweni, ukuba afune uNkulunkulu wakhe , wakwenza ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakhe, waphumelela.

Wasusa onkulunkulu babezizwe nesithombe endlini kaJehova , nawo onke ama-altare ayewakhile entabeni yendlu kaJehova naseJerusalema , wakulahla ngaphandle komuzi.

Zonke izitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu , ezinkulu nezincane, nengcebo yendlu kaJehova, nengcebo yenkosi neyezikhulu zayo , konke lokho wakuyisa eBabele.

Izitsha onikwe zona ukuba zibe ngezenkonzo yendlu kaNkulunkulu wakho , zibuyisele phambi kukaNkulunkulu waseJerusalema.

ngayaleza u Hanani umfowethu noHananiya induna yendlu yenkosi ukuba baphathe iJerusalema, ngokuba wayengumuntu othembekileyo , wamesaba uNkulunkulu kunabaningi.

Seziphelile lezo zinsuku , inkosi yenzela abantu bonke ab abe khona eShushani endlini yenkosi , abakhulu nabancane , idili izinsuku eziyisikhombisa egcekeni lensimu yendlu yenkosi.

Yayisisukuma inkosi ngolaka lwayo edilini lewayini , yaya ensimini yendlu yenkosi; uHamani wasukuma ukunxusa u -Esteri inkosikazi ngokuphila kwakhe, ngokuba wabona ukuthi usenqunyelwe okubi yinkosi.

Inkosi isibuya ensimini yendlu yenkosi , ingene endlini yedili lewayini , uHamani wayesewele embhedeni u -Esteri ayekuwo . Yayisithi inkosi : Uyakuyiphoqa inkosikazi phambi kwami lapha endlini na ? Lapho liphuma leli zwi emlonyeni wenkosi, bamboza ubuso bukaHamani.

Imfuyo yendlu yakhe iyakumuka, inyamalale ngomuhla wentukuthelo.

Imishayo yendlu yethu iyimisedari, nemiqhadi iyimisayipuresi.

Ngilalele wena ndlu kaJakobe , yonke insali yendlu yakwa -Israyeli engiyithwesiweyo kwasesiswini, yabekwa phezu kwami kwasesizalweni.

Zwanini izwi likaJehova nina ndlu kaJakobe, nani mindeni yonke yendlu ka- Israyeli.

Indawo yendlu yethu engcwel e iyisihlalo sobukhosi esinenkazimul o esiphakemeyo.

UMika waseMoresheti waprofetha ezinsukwini zikaHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda, washo kubo bonke abantu bakwaJuda , wathi: U sho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: ISiyoni liyakulinywa njengensimu, iJerusalema libe yincithakalo, intaba yendlu ibe yizindawo eziphakemeyo zamahlathi.

Isandla sami siyakumelana nabaprofethi ababona okuyize nababhula amanga; abayikuba semkhandlwini wabantu bami , bangalotshwa encwadini yendlu yakwa -Israyeli, bangangeni ezweni lakwa -Israyeli, nazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uJehova.

Ngiyakumisa ngibe yinqaba yendlu yami , ukuze kungabikho odlula yo nobuyayo; akusayikudlula mcindezeli kubo , ngokuba sengibonile ngawami amehlo. INkosi yaseSiyoni

Uyakuthatha inkunzi yomnikelo wesono , ishiswe endaweni yendlu emiselweyo ngaphandle kwendlu engcwele.

UJehova wathi kimi : Ndodana yomuntu , beka inhl iziyo yakho , ubone ngamehlo akho, uzwe ngezindlebe zakho konke engikukhuluma kuwe ngazo zonke izimiso zendlu kaJehova nangayo yonke imithetho yayo , uqaphele indawo yendlu yokungena nazo zonke izindawo zokuphuma zendlu engcwele.

Yebo, ngiyakuwabeka abagcini benkonzo yendlu emsebenzini wonke wayo kukho konke okuyakwenziwa kuyo.

Kepha abapristi bamaLevi , amadodana kaSadoki , ababegcina inkonzo yendlu yami engcwele lapho abantwana bakwa -Israyeli beduka kimi , bayakusondela kimi , bangikhonze, beme phambi kwami , banikele kimi ngamanoni nangegazi, isho iNkosi uJehova;

Kungokungcwele kwezwe , kungokwabapristi, izikhonzi zendlu engcwele ezisondela ukumkhonza uJehova , kube yindawo yezindlu zabo nendawo engcwele yendlu engcwele.

Kuyakuba phezu kwesikhulu ukuni kela ngeminikelo yokushiswa , nangeminikelo yempuphu , nangeminikelo yokuphuzwa emikhosini , nasekwethwaseni kwenyanga, nangamasabatha emikhosini yonke emisiweyo yendlu yakwa -Israyeli, silungise umnikelo wesono , nomnikelo wempuphu , nomnikelo wokushiswa , neminikelo yokuthula ukwenzela indlu yakwa - Israyeli ukubuyisana.

Yebo, lwazikhulisa kwaze kwaba nasesikhulwini sebandla , lwasaphuca umnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke , nendawo yendlu yaso engcwele yaphonswa phansi.

Ngalokho ngenxa yenu iSiyoni liyakulinywa njengensimu, iJerusalema libe yincithakalo, intaba yendlu ibe yizindawo eziphakemeyo zamahlathi.

Kepha kuyakuthi ngezinsuku ezizay o intaba yendlu kaJehov a iqiniswe esiqongweni sezintaba, iphakame kunamagquma, nabantu bayakugobhozela khona.

Ugu luyakuba ngolwensali yendlu yakwaJuda , yaluse kulo ; ezindlini zase - Ashikeloni bayakubuthisa kusihlwa , ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo uyakubahambela, abuyise ukuthunjwa kwabo.

Nabheka okuningi ; bhekani, kwaphenduka okuncane ; lapho nakuletha ekhaya, ngakuphephetha. Ngani na? usho uJehova Sebawoti. Ngenxa yendlu yami eyize, nina nisagijimela, kube yilowo nalowo endlini yakhe.

Ngakho lindani, ngokuba anazi ukuthi inkosi yendlu iyakufika nini , noma ngokuhlwa, noma phakathi kobusuku , noma ngokukhala kwezinkuku , noma ekuseni,

uyakuba yinkosi yendlu kaJakobe kuze kube ph akade, nombuso wakhe awuyikuba nakuphela.

Kepha wayebathukuthelele abaseTire nabaseSidoni ; kodwa beza kuye nganhliziyonye; sebemvumisile uBlastu induna yendlu yenkosi , bacela ukuthula, ngokuba izwe lakubo lalifunzwa ngelenkosi.
