Mina ngiyakuba nguyise , yona ibe yindodana yami ; angiyikuyaphuca umusa wami, njengalokho ngamaphuca owayephambi kwakho.

Hamba ukhulume kuDavide n gokuthi: U Jehova usho kanje , uthi: Ngiyakubekela izinto ezintathu; khetha enye kuzo ukuba ngikwenzele yona.

Yebo, noma kusekhona inxenye yeshumi kulo , yona iyakubuye ishiswe njengomtherebinte ne-oki okusiqu sakho simi lapho kugawulwa khona; inzalo engcwele iyisiqu sakho.

Emva kwalezo zinto naleso sibonelo sokuthembeka kwafika uSaneheribi inkosi yase -Asiriya, wangena kwaJuda , wamisa malungana nemizi ebiyelweyo, wathi uyakuzifohlela yona.

Ngosuku lwenkosi yeth u izikhulu zazigulisa ngokushisa kwewayini ; yona yayiselulela izideleli isandla.

Lokhu kuyimpinda yencwadi inkosi u-Aritahishashita eyamnika yona u-Ezra umpristi nombhali, umbhali wamazwi emiyalo kaJehova nawezimiso zakhe ku-Israyeli, yokuthi:

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

Wamnika futhi impinda yomthetho olotshiweyo owashaywa eShushani wokuba babhujiswe , ukuze amtshengise yona u -Esteri, amtshele ngayo , amyale ukuba angene enkosini uk unxusa kuyo, acelele abantu bakhe phambi kwayo.

yikhona inkosi izakubuthanda ubuhle bakho, ngokuba yona iyinkosi yakho, woyikhothamela.

yona ekhwela phezu kwamazulu ezulu asendulo ; bhekani, iyezwakalisa izwi layo, izwi elinamandla.

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

yebo, lo mvini otshalwe ngesokunene sakho, nendodana ozikhulisele yona.

Isandla sakho masibe phezu kwendoda yesokunene sakho , phezu kwendodana yomuntu ozikhulisele yona;

Uthumela imithombo ezigodini; yona igijima phakathi kwezintaba.

Yona ingeyokuphumula kwami kuze kube phakade ; lapha ngiyakuhlala khona, ngokuba ngiyifunile.

yona engoyedwa owenza izimangaliso ezinkulu , ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade;

yona ethi ingenamahluleli, nambonisi, nambusi,

Jehova, uyakusimisela ukuthula ; ngokuba nayo yonke imisebenzi yeth u senzelwe yona nguwe.

Wayesethi: Baboneni endlini yakho na ? UHezekiya wathi : Babone konke okusendlini yami; akukho nto phakathi kwengcebo yami engingababonisanga yona.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Izulu liyisihlalo sami sobukhosi , umhlaba uyisenabelo sezinyawo zami ; iphi leyo ndlu ebeniyakungakhela yona , iphi indawo yami yokuphumula, na?

ngiyakwenza kule ndlu ebizwe ngegama lami nenithemba kuyo , nakule ndawo enganinika yona nina nawoyihlo, njengalokho ngenza kulo iShilo.

Ngakhuluma kuSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda njengawo onke lawa mazwi , ngathi: Bekani izintamo zenu phansi kwejoka lenkosi yaseBabele, niyikhonze, yona nabantu bayo, niphile.

Ngaleso sikhathi , usho uJehova , ngiyakuba nguNkulunkulu wemindeni yonke yakwa-Israyeli, yona ibe ngabantu bami.

yona imyise uSedekiya eBabele , abe khona lapho ngize ngimhambele , usho uJehova; noma nilwa namaKaledi, aniyikuphumelela na?

Wayesethi kubo uJeremiya umprofethi: Nginizwile; bhekani, ngiyakukhuleka kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu njengamazwi enu ; kuyakuthi noma yintoni uJehova ayakuniphendula ngayo, nginitshele yona, nginganigodleli lutho.

Wena ndodana yomuntu , zithathele inkemba ebuk hali, uzithathele yona njengempuco yomgundi , uyihambise ekhanda lakho nasesilevini sakho , uzithathele isilinganiso sokulinganisa, wahlukanise izinwele.

Ibuyisa isandla say o kwabampofu , ingamukeli inzalo nenzuzo , yenza izahlulelo zami, ihamba ngezimiso zami . Yona ayiyikufa ngokona kukayise , iyakuphila nokuphila.

bheka, uhlakaniphile kunoDaniyeli , ayikho imfihlakalo abangakufihlela yona;

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

UDaniyeli waphendula phambi kwenkosi , wathi: Imfihlakalo e yibuzayo inkosi, abahlakaniphileyo, nabathwebulayo, nezanusi, nabahlola imihlola , bangeyibonise yona inkosi.

Kepha yona iyakungena embusweni wenkosi yaseningizimu, kodwa iyakubuyela ezweni lakubo.

Ngesikhathi sokuphela inkosi yaseningizimu iyakuqhubukushana nayo ; inkosi yasenyakatho isiyakuvunguzela yona ngez inqola, nangabamahhashi, nangemikhumbi eminingi, ingene emazweni amaningi, ikhukhule, idlule.

Ngiyakuchitha imivini yakhe nemikhiwane yakh e ashilo ngakho , wathi: Kuyinkokhelo yami ezinginikile yona izithandwa zami ; ngiyakukwenza kube yihlathi, izilwane zasendle zikudle.

Inkosi yabo iyakuya ekuthunjweni , yona nezikhulu zayo kanyekanye , usho uJehova.

yona kambe incinyane kunazo zonke izimbewu , kepha u ma isikhulile , inkulu kunezilimo , iba ngumuthi , kuze kufike izinyoni zezulu , zakhele emagatsheni awo.

Yona isifundisiwe ngunina yathi : Ngiphe lapha ngoqwembe ikhanda likaJohane uMbhapathizi.

Wayeseya kwenye, washo kanjalo. Yona yaphendula yathi: Ngiyaya, nkosi; kepha kayiyanga.

Kepha abafundi abayishumi nanye baya eGalile kuleyo ntaba uJesu ayebayalele yona;

Waphinda wathuma kubo enye inceku; yona bayilimaza ekhanda, bayithuka.

Wathuma enye futhi ; yona bayibulala, nezinye ezin ingi: ezinye bazishaya , ezinye bazibulala.

Kwase kusele umuntu munye , indodana ethandekayo ; yona wayithuma kubo ekugcineni, ethi: Bayakuyazisa indodana yami.

futhi ukuyithanda yona ngenhliziyo yonke , nangengqondo yonke , nangamandla onke , nokuthanda umakhelwane njengalokhu umuntu ezithanda yena kudlula yonke iminikelo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo.

Kwathi u kuba zimuke kubo izingelosi ziya ezulwini , abelusi bakhuluma bodwa, bathi: Asihambe manje , size sifike eBetlehema , sibone leyo nto eyenzekileyo iNkosi esazisile yona.

Ngokuba yayinendodakazi eyodwa kungathi ineminyaka eyishumi nambili , yona isifa. Kepha esahamba, izixuku zamminyanisa.

Emva kwalokho iNkosi yamisa abanye abangamashumi ayisikhombisa , yabathumela ngababili phambi kwayo emizini nasezindaweni zonke ebizakuya kuzo yona.

Ababehamba phambili bayikhuza ukuba ithule kepha kwayikhona imemeza kakhulu yona, ithi: Ndodana kaDavide, ngihawukele!

yona yayingavumanga icebo nesenzo sabo -- eyase-Arimatheya umuzi wabaJuda, eyayibheke umbuso kaNkulunkulu;

Kepha nginabo ubufakazi obukhulu kunobukaJohane , ngokuba imisebenzi uBaba anginike yona ukuba ngiyifeze , yona le misebenzi engiyenzayo , iyangifakazela ukuthi uBaba ungithumile.

Nani-ke nilusizi manje , kepha ngiyakubuye nginibone , inhliziyo yenu ithokoze; intokozo yenu akakho onganamuka yona.

Nenkazimulo ongiphe yona ngiyip hile bona , ukuze babe munye , njengalokhu thina simunye,

Baba, ngithanda ukuba labo ongiphe bona nabo babe khona nami lapha ngikhona, ukuze babone inkazimulo yami ongiphe yona ; ngokuba wangithanda, kungakasekelwa izwe.

Ngokungazelelwe kwavela ezulwini inhlokomo kwangathi eyokuvunguza komoya onamandla; yona yagcwalisa indlu yonke ababehlezi kuyo.

ngokuba simzwile ethi uJesu lo waseNazaretha uzakuchitha le ndawo , aguqule imithetho asinika yona uMose.

Yona yasiphatha ngobuqili isizwe sakithi, yabahlupha obaba ngokubalahlisa izingane zabo zingaphili.

Izulu liyisihlalo sami sobukhosi , nomhlaba uyisenabelo sezinyawo zami ; ngenjani indlu eniyakungakhela yona, isho iNkosi, noma yiyiphi indawo yami yokuphumula na?

Kepha ingelosi yeNkosi yakhuluma kuFiliphu , yathi: Suka uye ngaseningizimu endleleni ephuma eJerusalema ehlela eGaza; yona iyihlane.

Yona yathi: Ngingakwazi kanjani, uma kungekho ongiholayo na? Yamnxusa uFiliphu ukuba akhwele ahlale nayo.

Kodwa bathi kuyo : Uyahlanya. Yona yaqinisa yathi : Hhayi, kunjalo. Bona bathi: Yingelosi yakhe.

Yona yamuzwa uPawulu ekhuluma . Yena eyigqolozela wabona ukuthi inokukholwa kokuba iphiliswe,
