Kodwa waphendula wathi: Angithunyelwanga kwabanye, kuphela ezimvini ezilahlekileyo zendlu yakwa-Israyeli.

Njengalokho usufunisisile kuyo yonke impahla yami , uthole ntoni yezinto zonke zendlu yakho na ? Yibeke lapha phambi kwabafowethu nabafowenu ukuba banqume phakathi kwethu sobabili.

Khona uJosefa wakhuphuka ukuyommbela uyise ; zakhuphuka n aye zonke izinceku zikaFaro , nezikhulu zendlu yakhe , nezikhulu zonke zezwe laseGibithe,

Amatalenta ayikhulu esiliva ayengawokukhanda izinyawo zendlu engcwele, nezinyawo zesihenqo , izinyawo eziyikhulu ngamatalenta ayikhulu , italenta ngonyawo.

Abesebheka ibala; uma ibala lisezindongeni zendlu , linemishwe eluhlazana noma ebomvana, libonakala lishonile kunodonga,

Okugcinwa yibo kuyakuba ngumphongolo, netafula, nothi lwezibani, nama- altare, nezimpahla zendlu engcwele abakhonza ngazo , neveli, nayo y onke inkonzo yalokho.

Wayeselinganisa udonga lwendlu : yizingalo eziyisithupha ; nobubanzi bamakamelo ezinhlangothi: yizingalo ezine nxazonke zendlu emaceleni onke.

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.

Phakathi kwamakamelo kwakukhona ububanzi obuyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili nxazonke zendlu emaceleni onke.

Ngasodongeni lwendlu wakha izimpondo nxazonke ngasezindongeni zendlu nxazonke, ethempelini nasegumbini ; wenza amaka melo asezinhlangothini nxazonke;

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.

Wakha izindonga zendlu ngaphakathi ngamapulangwe emiseda ri; kusukela phansi endlini kuze kufike emishayweni yophahla wembesa ngamapulangwe ngaphakathi, wendlala phansi endlini ngamapulangwe emisayipuresi.

Wafekethisa zonke izindonga zendlu nxazonke ngezithombe ezibaziweyo zamakherubi, nangamasundu, nangezimbali eziqhakazileyo ngaphakathi nangaphandle.

nezindebe, nezizenze, nezitsha, nezinkezo, nemicengezi yomlilo, ngegolide elicwengekileyo, nezingibe zegolide zezivalo zendlu engaphakathi , indawo engcwelengcwele, nezivalo zendlu yethempeli.

Zonke izitsha zokuphuza zenkosi uSolomoni zaziyigolide , nazo zonke izitsha zendlu yehlathi laseLebanoni zaziyigolide elicwengekileyo , kungekho ezesiliva, lona lingento yalutho emihleni kaSolomoni.

makuthathwe ngabapristi, kube yilowo nalowo kumngane wakhe , balungise izimfa zendlu, yonke indawo lapho kungafumaniseka khona ufa.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili nantathu wenkosi uJehowashi abapristi babengakazilungisi izimfa zendlu.

Inkosi uJehowashi yayisibiza uJehoyada umpristi nabanye abapristi , yathi kubo: Anilungisi ngani izimfa zendlu na ? Ngalokho ningabe nisathatha imali yabangane benu, kepha niyinikelele izimfa zendlu.

Abapristi bavuma ukuba bangabe besamukela imali kubantu, futhi bangazilungisi izimfa zendlu.

nabakha ngamatshe , nababaza amatshe , nokuthenga imithi namatshe abaziweyo ukulungisa izimfa zendlu kaJehova , yebo, konke okwakhishelwa indlu ukuyilungisa.

Nokho abasukanga ezonweni zendlu kaJerobowamu onisa ngazo u-Israyeli, kepha bahamba kuzo; naye u-Ashera wasala eSamariya.

bayibeke esandleni sezisebenzi eziphethe indlu kaJehova, bakhokhele ngayo abasebenza umsebenzi wasendlini kaJehova ukulungisa izimfa zendlu,

Abanye kubo babemiselwe impahla , nezitsha zonke zendlu engcwele , nempuphu, newayini, namafutha, nenhlaka, namakha.

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

Nazi izigaba zabapristi nezamaLevi zazo zonke izinkonzo zendlu kaNkulunkulu; kuyakuba nawe emsebenzini wonke abantu abazinikela ngenhliziyo naba yizingcweti ezinkonzweni zonke; nezikhulu nabantu bonke bayakulalela konke okukhulumayo.

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

Zonke izitsha zokuphuza zenkosi uSolomoni zaziyigolide , nazo zonke izitsha zendlu yehlathi laseLebanoni zaziyigolide elicwengekil eyo, isiliva lingento yalutho emihleni kaSolomoni.

Naye wahamba ngezindlela zendlu ka -Ahabi, ngokuba unina wayengomeluleka ukwenza okubi.

Ngokuba amadodana ka-Athaliya, owesifazane lowo omubi , ayeyichithile indlu kaNkulunkulu , nezinto zonke ezingcwele zendlu kaJehova azenza ukuba zibe ngezikaBali.

Sebeqedile baletha imali eseleyo phambi kwenkosi noJehoyada , benza ngayo izitsha zendlu kaJehova , izitsha zokukh onzela nezokunikelela , nezinkezo, nezinye izitsha zegolide nezesiliva . Banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa endlini kaJehova njalo zonke izinsuku zikaJehoyada.

U-Ahazi waqoqa izinto zendlu kaNkulunkulu , wazihlahlela izinto zendlu kaNkulunkulu, wavala izivalo zendlu kaJeh ova, wazenzela ama -altare emagumbini onke aseJerusalema.

Ngomnyaka wokuqala wokubusa kwakhe ngenyanga yokuqala wavula izivalo zendlu kaJehova, wazilungisa.

UNebukadinesari wayisa ezinye izitsha zendlu kaJehova eBabele, wazibeka ethempelini lakhe eBabele.

Ekuqaleni komnyaka inkosi uNebukadinesari yathumela yamletha eB abele kanye nezitsha ezinxanelekayo zendlu kaJehova , yabeka uSedekiya , umfowabo, inkosi kwaJuda naseJerusalema.

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

UKoresi inkosi wakhipha izinto zendlu kaJehova , uNebukadinesari ayezikhiphile eJerusalema wazibeka endlini yawonkulunkulu bakhe,

Futhi izitsha zegolide nezesiliva zendlu kaNkulunkulu azikhipha uNebukadinesari ethempelini elaliseJerusalema wazingenisa ethempelini laseBabele, zona lezo uKoresi inkosi wazikhipha e thempelini laseBabele , zanikwa omunye ogama lakhe lalinguSheshebasari, owayemenze umbusi;

Wayesefika lowo Sheshebasari , wabeka izisekelo zendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema; kusukela kuleso sikhathi kuze kube manje isakhiwa njalo , kayikapheli.

futhi izitsha zegolide nezesiliva zendlu kaNkulunkulu , uNebukadinesari azikhipha ethempelini eliseJerusalema waziyisa eBabele , mazibuyiswe, ziyiswe ethempelini eliseJerusalema , kube yileso naleso endaweni yaso , zibekwe endlini kaNkulunkulu.

Ngabathuma k u-Ido, inhloko yasendaweni yaseKhasifiya , ngabeka emlonyeni wabo amazwi abayakuwakhuluma ku -Ido nakubafowabo amaNethini endaweni yaseKhasifiya ukuba basilethele izinceku zendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu.

Ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli nabantwana bakwaLevi babeyakukhuphulela umnikelo wamabele , newayini, namafutha emakamelweni, lapho kukhona izitsha zendlu engcwele , nabapristi abakhonzayo, nabalindisango, nabahlabeleli; besingenakuyishiya indlu kaNkulunkulu wethu.

Kwaba kubi kakhulu kimi; ngalahla phandle zonke izinto zendlu kaThobiya zikhishwe ekamelweni.

Ngase ngithi mabahlambulule amakamelo; ngabuyisela khona izitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu kanye neminikelo yempuphu nenhlaka.

Ukuphuza kwaya ngomthetho wokuba kungacindezelwa muntu , ngokuba inkosi yayiyalile zonke izinduna zendlu yayo ukuba zenze njengokuthanda kwabantu abanye ngabanye.

Ngokuba kumisiwe khona izihlalo zokwahlulela , izihlalo zobukhosi zendlu kaDavide.

Ngidumazile izikhulu zendlu engcwele , ngimenzile uJakobe abe yisiqalekiso, no-Israyeli abe yisithuko.

Ngase ngikhuluma kubapristi nakubo bonke laba bantu, ngithi: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ningawalaleli amazwi abaprofethi benu abaprofetha kini ukuthi: Bhekani, izitsha zendlu kaJehova ziyakubuyiswa eBabele masinyane. Ngokuba baprofetha amanga kini.

Ingakapheli iminyaka emibili ngiyakubuyisela kule ndawo zonke izitsha zendlu kaJehova azithatha kule ndawo uNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele, waziyisa eBabele,

yebo, umprofethi uJeremiya wathi : Amen, makenze njalo uJehova , awaqinise amazwi akho owaprofethayo , kubuyiswe izitsha zendlu k aJehova nabo bonke abathunjwa eBabele, kulethwe kule ndawo.

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Shaya ngesandla sakho , udubhuze ngonyawo lwakho, uthi: Maye, ngenxa yazo zonke izinengiso ezimbi zendlu yakwa-Israyeli! Ngokuba bayakuwa ngenkemba, nangendlala, nangesifo.

Ngangena, ngabona; bheka, zonke izimo zezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo , nezilwane ezinengekayo , nazo zonke izithombe zendlu ka -Israyeli kudwetshiwe odongeni nxazonke.

engadli ezintabeni, engaphakamisi amehlo akhe ezithombeni zendlu yakwa - Israyeli, engangcolisi umkamakhelwane wakhe , engasondeli kowesifazane ekungcoleni kwakhe;

Ingadli ezintabeni, ingaphakamisi amehlo ayo ezithombeni zendlu yakwa - Israyeli, ingangcolisi umkamakhelwane wayo;

Kwakukhona amafasitele avaliweyo namasundu ngalapha nangalapha emaceleni ompheme , nasemakamelweni ezinhlangothi zendlu , nasesivikelweni.

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.

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

Izinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu ubude nezinkulungwane eziyishumi ububanzi ziyakuba ngezamaLevi, izikhonzi zendlu, zibe yifa lawo lemizi ukuhlala kuyo.

Umpristi uyakuthatha kulo igazi lomnikelo wes ono, alibhece ezinsikeni zendlu, nasemagumbini omane onqenqema lwe -altare, nasezinsikeni zesango legceke elingaphakathi.

Wathi kimi: Nazi izindlu zokuphekela izikhonzi zendlu eziyakuphekela kuzo imihlatshelo yabantu.

INkosi yanikela esandleni sakhe uJehoyakimi, inkosi yakwaJuda, nenxenye yezitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu , waziyisa ezweni laseShineyari endlini kankulunkulu wakhe, waziyisa izitsha endlini yengcebo kankulunkulu wakhe.

kepha uziphakamisile eNkosini yasezulwini ; balethe izitsha zendlu yakhe phambi kwakho ; wena nezinduna zakho , nawomkakho, nezancinza zakho niphuzile iwayini ngazo , utusile wena onkulunkulu besiliva, nabegolide, nabethusi, nabensimbi, nabomuthi, nabetshe abangaboni , abangezwa, abangazi; kodwa uNkulunkulu omphefumulo wakho usesandleni sakhe , nokungezakhe zonke izindlela zakho awumdumisanga.

Konke lokhu kungenxa yesiphambeko sikaJakobe nangezono zendlu yakwa- Israyeli. Siyini isiphambeko sikaJakobe ? Asiyilo iSamariya na ? Ziyini izindawo eziphakemeyo zakwaJuda? Aziyilo iJerusalema na?

Ngathi: Zwanini nina zinhloko zakwaJakobe , nani zikhulu zendlu yakwa - Israyeli ukuthi: Akusikho okwenu ukwazi ukulunga

Ake nizwe lokhu nina zinhloko zendlu kaJakobe nani zikhulu zendlu yakwa- Israyeli eninengwa ngukwahlulelwa, nihlanekezela konke ukulunga,

Izimiso zika-Omri ziyagcinwa, nazo zonke izenzo zendlu ka-Ahabi; nihamba ngamacebo abo; ngalokho ngiyakunenza incithakalo nabakhileyo khona into encimfelwayo; niyakuthwala ihlazo labantu bami.

kodwa yanini kakhulu ezimvini ezilahlekileyo zendlu ka-Israyeli.
