Ngase ngizwa izwi livela ezulwini , linjengezwi lamanzi amaningi nanjengezwi lokuduma okuk hulu; nezwi engalizwayo lalinjengelababetha amahabhu, bebetha amahabhu abo.

Isilo owasibonayo sasikhona , asisekho; kepha sesizakwenyuka , siphuma kwalasha, siye ekubhujisweni; nabakhileyo emhlabeni bayakumangala , labo abamagama abo angalotshwanga encwadini yokuphila , selokhu kwasekelwa izwe, nxa bebona isilo ukuthi sasikhona , kepha asisekho , kanti sizakuba khona.

Kepha amehlo abo abebambekile ukuba bangamazi.

Amehlo abo ayesevuleka, bamazi; wayesenyamalala kubo.

Wafundisa emasinagogeni abo edunyiswa yibo bonke.

Wayigoqonga incwadi , wayinika isikhonzi , wahlala; amehlo abo bonke ababesesinagogeni amgqolozela.

Sebekwenzile lokho babamba izinhlanzi eziningi kakhulu , aze agqabuka amanetha abo.

Esebuya futhi wabafumana belele, ngokuba amehlo abo ayenzima ; babengazi ukuthi bazakumphendula ngokuthini.

Abadlulayo bamhlambalaza benikina amakhanda abo , bathi: Eya wena odiliza ithempeli, ubuye ulakhe ngezinsuku ezintathu;

Wahamba eshumayela emasinagogeni abo kulo lonke iGalile, ekhipha amademoni. UJesu uphilisa umuntu onochoko (Math. 8:1; Luk. 5:12)

Walikhuluma izwi kubo ngemifanekiso eminingi enjalo njengamandla abo okuzwa;

Kepha xwayani abantu , ngokuba bayakunikhaphela emiphakathini, banishaye emasinagogeni abo.

ngokuba inhliziyo yalesi sizwe isiyaba lukhuni , bezwa kanzima ngezindlebe, amehlo abo bawacimezile, funa mhlawumbe babone ngamehlo , bezwe ngezindlebe, baqonde ngenhliziyo, baphenduke, ngibaphulukise.

Kepha bephakamisa amehlo abo ababonanga muntu, kuphela uJesu yedwa.

Kepha imisebenzi yonke yabo bayenza ukuba babonwe ngabantu ; amafilakteriyu abo bawenza abe banzi, bawenze abe makhulu amachopho.

Esebuya futhi wabafumana belele, ngokuba amehlo abo ayenzima.

Kepha abadlulayo bamhlambalaza benikina amakhanda abo,

Esedlulela phambili wabona ezinye izelamani ezimbili , uJakobe kaZebedewu, noJohane umfowabo, besemkhunjini kanye noZebedewu uyise , belungisa amanetha abo; wababiza.

UJesu walihamba lonke elaseGalile efundisa emasinagogeni abo , eshumayela ivangeli lombuso , ephulukisa abantu ezifweni zonke nasebuthakathakeni bonke.

UJesu wayihamba imizi yonke nemizana efundisa emasinagogeni abo , eshumayela ivangeli lombuso, ephulukisa izifo zonke nokugula konke.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Ngenxa yeziphambeko ezintathu zakwaJuda , yebo, ngenxa yezine , angiyikuguquka, ngokuba bawulahlile umthe tho kaJehova, abagcinanga izimiso zakhe , namanga abo abadukisile , abawalandelayo nawoyise.

Ngayibona iNkosi imi ngase -altare, yathi: Shaya izihloko zezinsika , ukuze imigulugulu izamazame , uzaphule phezu kwamakhanda abo bonke ; abaseleyo babo ngiyakubabulala ngenkemba; obalekayo kubo akayikubaleka, nophunyukayo kubo akayikuphunyuka.

Ababonananga; akusukanga muntu endaweni yakhe izinsuku zaze zaba ntathu; kepha kubo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli kwakukhona ukukhanya emakhaya abo.

Abantu base bethatha inhlama yabo ingakavutshelwa , nezingqwembe zabo zokuxova isinkwa, ziboshwe ezingutsheni zabo emahlombe abo.

Kwathi ngalona lolo suku uJehova wakhipha abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe ngamabandla abo.

UFaro esesondela , abantwana bakwa -Israyeli baphakamisa amehlo abo ; bheka, abaseGibithe babebalandela; base besaba kakhulu; abantwana bakwa- Israyeli bakhala kuJehova.

Koba khona iveli lesango legceke , libe yizingalo ezingamashumi amabili , ngokuluhlaza nangokububende nangokubomvu , nangelineni elicolekileyo lemicu ephothiweyo , umsebenzi womfekethisi , izinsika z abo zibe zine , nezinyawo zazo zibe zine.

amagama ayisithupha abo kwelinye itshe namag ama abayisithupha abaseleyo kwelinye itshe njengokuzalwa kwabo.

Wobeka amatshe omabili ezizibeni zombili zengubo yamahlombe , abe ngamatshe esikhumbuzo sabantwana bakwa -Israyeli; u-Aroni uyakuphatha amagama abo emahlombe akhe omabili phambi kukaJehova kube yisikhumbuzo.

Amatshe ayakuba njengamagama abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, abe yishumi nambili njengamagama abo ; njengokuqoshwa kwendandatho yilelo nalelo liyakuba negama lesinye sezizwe eziyishumi nambili.

Kepha niyakuwadiliza ama -altare abo , niziphahlaze izinsika zabo , nibagawule o-Ashera babo,

uthathele amadodana akho amadodakazi abo , amadodakazi abo aye aphinge nawonkulunkulu babo , enze ukuba amadodana akho aye aphinge nawonkulunkulu babo.

Amatshe ayeyishumi nambili njengamagama amadodana ka -Israyeli, njengamagama abo; njengokuqoshwa kwendandatho yilelo nalelo lalinegama lakhe kuzo izizwe eziyishumi nambili.

Yibo labo o-Aroni noMose uJehova athi kubo : Khiphani ezweni laseGibithe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngamabandla abo.

UJehova wathi kuMose: Yisho ku-Aroni, uthi: Thatha induku yakho, welule isandla sakho phezu kwamanzi aseGibithe , naphezu kwemifula , naphezu kweminonjana yabo , naphezu kweziziba , naphezu kwamachibi amanzi abo onke ukuba aphenduke igazi , kube khona igazi ezweni lonke l aseGibithe ezitsheni zemithi nasezitsheni zamatshe.

Wayesethi uMose : Akufanele ukwenze njalo , ngokuba siyakuhlabela uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu lokhu okunengeka kwabaseGibithe ; bheka, singahlaba okunengeka kwabaseGibithe emehlweni abo , bangasikhandi ngamatshe, na?

Ngokuba le ndaba yenkosikazi iyakuphumela kubo bonke abesifazane ukuba ama doda abo adeleleke emehlweni abo , lapho kuthiwa inkosi u- Ahashiveroshi yamyala uVashiti , inkosikazi, ukuba alethwe phambi kwayo , kepha akafikanga.

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

Lapho sesifikile isikhathi sika -Esteri, indodakazi ka -Abihayili, uyisekazi kaMoridekayi omthathe ukuba abe yindodakazi yakhe sokuba angene enkosini, akafunanga lutho , kuphela lokho akushoyo uHegayi induna yenkosi, umgcini wabesifazane . U-Esteri wafumana umusa emehlweni abo bonke abambonayo.

Amahhashi abo ayengamakhulu ayisikhombisa namashumi amathathu nesithupha; iminyuzi yabo yayingamakhulu amabili namashumi amane nanhlanu;

amakamela abo ayengamakhulu amane namashumi amathathu nanhlanu ; izimbongolo zaziyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha namakhulu ayisikhombisa namashumi amabili.

Abaningi babapristi namaLevi , nezinhloko zawoyise , abadala ababeyibonile indlu yokuqala , bakhala ngezwi elikhulu ekubekweni kwesisekelo saleyo ndlu pham bi kwamehlo abo ; abaningi bakhamuluka ngentokozo,

babaqashela abeluleki , bashafisa amasu abo zonke izinsuku zikaKoresi , inkosi yasePheresiya , kwaze kwaba sekubuseni kukaDariyu inkosi yasePheresiya.

Sabuza n amagama abo ukuba sikwazise , sibhale amagama abantu ababe yizinhloko zabo.

Bamisa abapristi ngamaqembu abo namaLevi ngezigaba zawo ukuba baphathe inkonzo kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema njengokulotshiweyo encwadini kaMose.

noHashabiya enoJeshaya wamadodana kaMerari, nabafowabo namadodana abo, bengamashumi amabili,

Ngalokho ninganiki amadodana abo amadodakazi enu , futhi ningathatheli amadodana enu amadod akazi abo, ningafuni ukuthula kwabo nenhlalakahle yabo kuze kube phakade , ukuze nibe namandla , nidle okuhle kwezwe , nilishiye libe yifa labantwana benu kuze kube phakade.

Ngokuba bazithathele amadodakazi abo , bona namadodana abo, kuze kuthi inzalo engcwele isixubene nabantu bezizwe ; izandla zezikhulu nababusi yizona ebeziphambili kuleso siphambeko.

Izingane zabo ziyakuchotshozwa emehlweni abo , izindlu zabo ziphangwe, omkabo baphoqwe.

Iminsalo iyakuwisa phansi izinsizwa zabo ; abayikuhawukela isithelo esisesizalweni, amehlo abo angabi nasihe kubantwana.

ukuthi ngiyakumaphula owase -Asiriya ezweni lami , ngimnyathele phansi ezintabeni zami ; bese lisuka kubo ijoka lakhe , nomthwalo wakhe usuke emahlombe abo.

Ngalolo suku abantu bayakumbheka uMenzi wabo , namehlo abo ayakumbuka oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

Abayikubheka ama -altare abo , umsebenzi wezandla zabo , bangabuki okwenziwe yiminwe yabo, o-Ashera nama-altare empepho.

Bayekeni abantu okusemakhaleni abo kukhona ukuphefumula nje , ngokuba babalwa njengantoni na?

AbaseGibithe bangabantu, abasiye uNkulunkulu, amahhashi abo ayinyama, awasiwo umoya, nalapho uJehova eyakwelula isandla sakh e uyakukhubeka naye osizayo, kuwe naye osizwayo, baphele bonke kanyekanye.

Bheka, amaqhawe abo akhala ngaphandle ; izithunywa zokuthula zikhala ngomunyu.

Abahlengiweyo bakaJehova bayakubuy a baye eSiyoni ngokwethaba , intokozo engunaphakade ibe phezu kwamakhanda abo ; bayakuthola ukujabula nokuthokoza, kubaleke usizi nokububula.

Kepha uRabi Shake wathi : Inkosi yami ingithumile yini enkosini yakho nakuwena ukukhuluma lawamazwi na ? Hhayi kulaba bantu yini abahlezi ogangeni ukuba badle amasimba abo, baphuze umshobingo wabo kanye nani, na?

Abazi, abaqondi, ngokuba unamekile amehlo abo ukuze bangaboni , nezinhliziyo zabo ukuze bangaqondi.

uthi kwababoshiweyo : Phumani, nakwabasebumnyameni: Velani. Bayakuklaba ngasezindleleni, amadlelo abo abe semagqumeni onke.

Abahlawulelweyo bakaJehova bayakubuya , bafike eSiyoni bejabula ; intokozo engapheliyo iyakuba semakhanda abo , bathole injabulo nentokozo, usizi nokububula kubaleke.

Bachamisela amaqanda ebululu , baluka ubulembu bolwembu ; odlayo amaqanda abo uyafa, okuchotshozwayo kuqhamuka kuyibululu.

Ihabu nogubhu , isigubhu negenkle , newayini kukhona emadilini abo , kepha abanakekeli imisebenzi kaJehova, nezenzo zezandla zakhe abaziboni.

Ngalokho indawo yabafileyo yandisile isifiso sayo , yavula umlomo wayo ngokungalinganiswayo; kwehlela kuyo amakhosi abo , nesixuku sabo esixokozelayo, kanye nabajabulayo phakathi kwabo.

Abezizwe bayakuzakha izingange zakho , amakhosi abo akukhonze ; noma ngakushaya ngentukuthelo yami, sengiyakuhawukela ngomusa wami.

Yenza inhliziyo yalaba bantu ukuba ikhuluphale , nezindlebe zabo zibe buthuntu, ufiphaze amehlo abo , funa babone ngamehlo abo , bezwe ngezindlebe zabo, baqonde ngenhliziyo yabo, babuye, baphiliswe.

Ngokuba ijoka lomthwalo wabo , nenduku yama hlombe abo , noswazi lomhluphi wabo uyakwaphula njengasosukwini lukaMidiyani.

Inkosi yayaleza, alethwa lawo madoda ayemangalele uDaniyeli , aphonswa emphandwini wezingonyama , wona nabantwana bawo , nawomkawo; izingonyama zatheleka phezu k wabo, zachoboza amathambo abo , bengakafinyeleli phansi emphandwini.

nowakwenzayo kuyo impi yaseGibithe , nakuwo amahhashi abo , nakuzo izinqola zabo , nokwenza kwakhe ukuba amanzi oLwandle Olubomvu abaminzise ekunixosheni kwabo , nokubabhubhisa kukaJehova kuze kube namuhla,

Ngokuba umvini wab o ungumvini waseSodoma nowamasimu aseGomora; izithelo zabo ziyizithelo zenyongo, amahlukuzo abo amunyu;

Ngokuba uJehova uyakubahlulela abantu bakhe , azihawukele izinceku zakhe, lapho ebona ukuthi amandla abo aphelile, kungekho omunye ovalelweyo noma okhululekileyo.

Niyakubaphatha kanje : niyakudiliza ama -altare abo , niphohloze izinsika zabo, ninqume o-Ashera babo, nishise ngomlilo izithombe zabo ezibaziweyo.

Kuvela kulabo iziqhingi zabezizwe zahlukaniselwa amazwe abo , kwaba yilelo nalelo ngolimi lwalo, nangemindeni yalo, nangezizwe zalo.

Base bethi omunye komunye : Wozani, ake senze izitini , sizishisise. Izitini zaba ngamatshe abo, nebitume laba ludaka lwabo.

Wathi kuSara : Bheka, ngimnikile umnewenu amashekeli ayinkulungwane esiliva; bheka, lokhu kuyisisibekelo secala phambi kwamehlo abo bonke abanawe; kukho konke usulungisiwe.

Yathi ukuzwa amazwi abo , inceku ka-Abrahama yakhothama emhlabathini phambi kukaJehova.

Lawa angamagama abanumzane abavela ku -Esawu ngemindeni yabo , nangezindawo zabo , nangamagama abo : ngumnumzane uThimna , nomnumzane u-Aliva, nomnumzane uJeteti,

Bahlala phansi ukuba badle isinkwa ; baphakamisa amehlo abo , babona; bheka, kwafika ihele labakwa -Ishmayeli livela kwaGileyadi , linamakamela alo ethwele inhlaka nebhalisamu nemure, likwewusela eGibithe.

Ayesevuleka amehlo abo bobabili , babona ukuthi bahamba ze; bathunga amaqabunga omkhiwane, bazenzela izibhinco.

Wabafulathela, wakhala; wabuye waphendukela kubo , wakhuluma nabo ; wayesemsusa uSimeyoni phakathi kwabo, wambopha phambi kwamehlo abo.

UJosefa wayeseyala ukuba amasaka abo agcwaliswe ngamabele , kubuyiselwe imali yalowo nalowo esakeni lakhe , baphiwe umphako endleleni; kwenziwa njalo kubo.

Base bethwesa izimbongolo zabo ngamabele abo, bamuka khona.

Kwathi sebethulula amasaka abo, bheka, isikhwama semali salowo nalowo sasisesakeni lakhe ; lapho bona noyise bebona izikhwama zabo zemali , bashaywa luvalo.

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

UJosefa wamthengela uFaro izwe lonke laseGibithe , ngokuba bonke abaseGibithe bathengisa ngamasimu abo , lokhu indlala yayinzima phezu kwabo; izwe lase liba ngelikaFaro.

OShemi noJafete bathatha ingubo , bayifaka emahlombe abo bobabili , bahamba nyovane , basibekela ubunqunu bukayise ; ubuso babo babubh eka emuva, abaze babona ubunqunu bukayise.

Kepha labo abanhliziyo zabo zilandela izinhliziyo zokuzondekayo kwabo nezinengiso zabo , ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwamakhanda abo indlela yabo , isho iNkosi uJehova.

uthi kubantu bezwe: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova ngabakhileyo eJerusalema ezweni lakwa -Israyeli, ithi: Bayakudla isinkwa sabo ngokwesaba , baphuze amanzi abo n gokumangala, ngokuba izwe lalo liyakuchithwa , laphucwe konke ukugcwala kwalo ngenxa yobudlova babo bonke abahlala kulo.

Wena ndodana yomuntu , zenzele impahla yokuhamba , usuke emini emehlweni abo , umuke endaweni yakho emehlweni abo , uye kwenye ; mhlawumbe bayakubona ukuthi bayindlu ehlubukayo.

Uyindodakazi kanyoko owanengwa yindoda yakhe nabantwana bakhe ; ungudade wawodadewenu abanengwa ngamadoda abo nabantwana babo ; unyoko wayengumHetikazi, uyihlo wayengumAmori.

ngenxa yokuba bengenzanga izahlulelo zami, belahla izimiso zami, bewona amasabatha ami, amehlo abo elandela izithombe zawoyise.

Ukuba izinhliziyo zabo ziphele amandla , nezikhubekiso zabo zande , ngiyakubeka inkemba ekhazimulayo kuwo onke amasango abo; awu, yenziwe njengonyazi, ihoshelwe ukubulala!

Abapristi bawo badlovile umthetho wami ; bangcolisile izinto zami ezingcwele, abahlukanisanga okungcwele nokuyichilo, abafundisanga abantu ukwahlukanisa okungcolileyo nokuhlambulukileyo, bafihlele amasabatha ami amehlo abo; sengidumazekile phakathi kwabo.

Ngase ngithulula ukufutheka kwami phezu kwabo ; ngibaqedile ngomlilo wentukuthelo yami, ngehlisela indlela yabo phezu kwama khanda abo, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Babefeba eGibithe, bafeba ebusheni babo ; bapotozwa khona amabele abo , zacindezelwa khona izingono zobuntombi babo.

Ngokuba baphingile, negazi lisezandleni zabo; baphingile nezithombe zabo, badabulise emlilweni amadodana abo abangizalela wona , abe ngukudla kwazo.

Ekubulaleleni kwabo izithombe zabo amadodana abo bangen a, ngalona lolo suku , endlini yami engcwele ukuyingcolisa . Bheka, benza kanjalo phakathi kwendlu yami.

Amagama abo ayengu -Ohola, omkhulu, no-Oholiba udadewabo ; baba ngabami, bazala amadodana namadodakazi. Amagama abo: iSamariya lingu- Ohola, neJerusalema lingu-Oholiba.

Isixuku siyakubakhanda ngamatshe sibahlahlele ngezinkemba zaso, sibulale amadodana abo namadodakazi abo, sishise izindlu zabo ngomlilo.

Wena ndodana yomuntu, angithi kuyakwenzeka mhla ngisusa inqaba yabo, intokozo nobuhle babo , okunxanelekayo emehlweni abo , nababeke umphefumulo wabo kukho, amadodana abo namadodakazi abo,

Izinduku oloba kuzo ziyakuba sesandleni sakho phambi kwamehlo abo.

Bayakuthwala ihlazo l abo nazo zonke izeqo zabo abeqe ngazo kimi , lapho beyakuhlala belondekile ezweni lakubo, kungabikho obesabisayo,

Inkonzo yethempeli elisha

Manje mabadedisele kude nami ukuphinga kwabo , nezidumbu zamakhosi abo, ngihlale phakathi kwabo kuze kube phakade.

Bayakuba nezigqoko zelineni emakhanda abo , babe namabhulukwe elineni okhalweni lwabo, bangabhinci okujulukisayo.

Abayikuphucula amakhanda abo , bangavumi izihluthu zabo zibe zide , kepha bayakugunda amakhanda abo.

Ngiyakukwenza ube yincithakalo nehlazo phakathi kwezizwe ezikuhaqayo emehlweni abo bonke abadlulayo.

Niyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova , lapho ababuleweyo babo beyakuba phakathi kwezithombe zabo nxa zonke zama-altare abo kuwo onke amagquma aphakemeyo, nakuzo zonke iziqongo zezintaba , naphansi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza, naphansi kwawo onke ama -oki adumbileyo, izindawo lapho bebenikela khona ngephunga elimnandi kuzo zonke izithombe zabo.

Abaphephayo benu bay akungikhumbula phakathi kwezizwe abayakuthunjelwa kuzo , lapho ngaphula izinhliziyo zabo eziphingayo , ezichezukile kimi , namehlo abo alandela izithombe zabo ukuba baphinge nazo, banengwe emehlweni abo ngokubi abakwenzileyo ezinengisweni zabo zonke.

Bayakubhinca izindwangu zamasaka , uvalo lubasibekele , amahloni abe sebusweni bonke, nobumpandla kuwo onke amakhanda abo.

Wathi kimi: Uyakubona lokhu wena ndodana yomuntu na ? Kuyinto elula kuyo indlu yakwaJuda ukwenza izinengiso abazenzayo lapho na ? Ngokuba sebeligcwalisile izwe ngobudlova , babuye bangicunula . Bhekani, babeka amagatsha emakhaleni abo.

Inhliziyo yabo yayahlukene; uyakuwaphula ama-altare abo, achithe izinsika zabo.

Izindawo eziphakemeyo zase -Aveni, isono sakwa -Israyeli, ziyakuchithwa; ameva namakhakhasi ayakukhuphukela ema -altare abo ; bayakuthi kuzo izintaba: Sisibekeleni, nakuwo amagquma: Welani phezu kwethu.

Uma iGileyadi linobubi , impela bayakuba ngabachithiwe; uma behlabela izinkunzi eGiligali , ama-altare abo ayakuba njengezinqwab a ngasemiseleni yamasimu.

Basutha njengamadlelo abo; basutha, nenhliziyo yabo yaphakama; ngalokho bangikhohliwe.

Ngiyakususa amagama awoBali emlonyeni wakhe, bangabe besakhunjulwa ngamagama abo.

Abakhalanga kimi ngezinhliziyo zabo , kepha bahhewula emibhedeni yabo ; banovalo ngamabele abo nangewayini labo, kepha mina bayangihlubuka.

Ngobubi babo bayathokozisa inkosi, nezikhulu ngamanga abo.

Bonke bashisa njengeziko, badla abahluleli babo; onke amakhosi abo ayawa, kungekho phakathi kwabo ongibizayo.

ngalokho usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Bheka, ngiyakubahambela; izinsizwa ziyakufa ngenkemba ; amadodana abo namadodakazi abo ay akufa ngendlala,

Noma bezila ukudla, angiyikuzwa ukumemeza kw abo; noma benikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa nangowempuphu , angiyikuthokoza ngabo , kepha ngiyakubaqeda ngenkemba, nangendlala, nangesifo.

Abantu abaprofetha kubo bayakuphonswa ezitaladini zaseJerusalema ngenxa yendlala nenkemba ; abayikuba namuntu wokubembela , bona nawomkabo, namadodana abo , namadodakazi abo ; ngiyakuthela okubi kwabo phezu kwabo.

Abakhulu babo bathuma abancane babo emanzini ; bafika emigodini, kepha abafumani manzi, babuya, izitsha zabo zingenalutho; banamahloni, bajabhile, bamboza amakhanda abo.

Ngenxa yomhlabathi odabukileyo , ngokuba akubangakho mvula ezweni , abalimi banamahloni, bamboza amakhanda abo.

abantwana babo besakh umbula ama -altare abo nawo -Ashera babo ngasemithini eluhlaza emagqumeni aphakemeyo.

Ngalokho nikela abantwana babo endlaleni , ubakhaphele osikweni lwenkemba, abafazi babo baphucwe abantwana , babe ngaba felokazi, amadoda abo abulawe ngukufa, izinsizwa zabo zishaywe ngenkemba empini.

Kepha wena Jehova uyawazi onke amasu abo okungibulala ; ungathetheleli ububi babo , nezono zabo ungazesuli emehlweni akho , kepha mabakhubekiswe phambi kwakho , ubavukele ngesikhathi sentukuthelo yakho.

Ngokuba izwe ligcwele iziphingi ; izwe liyadabuka ngenxa yesiqalekiso; amadlelo asehlane omile. Ukuhamba kwabo kubi, namandla abo awalungile.

abacabanga ukwenza ukuba abantu bami bakhohlwe igama lami ngamaphupho abo abawalandisa, kube yilowo nalowo kumakhelwane wakhe, njengalokho oyise bakhohlwa igama lami ngenxa kaBali, na?

Njengesela linamahloni, lapho selifunyenwe, kanjalo indlu yakwa -Israyeli iyakuba namahloni, bona kanye namakhosi abo , nezikhulu zabo, nabapristi babo, nabaprofethi babo

Ngokuba yilowo nalowo uyakufa ngobubi bakhe ; bonke abantu abazidla izithelo zomvini ezimuncu amazinyo abo ayakuba buthuntu.

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.

UBosheti uqedile umshikashika wawobaba kwasebusheni bethu , izimvu zabo, nezinkomo zabo, namadodana abo, namadodakazi abo.

Ngikuboneleni na ? Baphelile amandla , babuyele emuva . Amaqhawe abo anqotshiwe, ayabaleka nokubaleka engabheki emuva ; luvalo nxazonke, usho uJehova.

Amatende abo nemihlambi yabo niyakukuthatha , bazithuthele izilenge zabo, nazo zonke izimpahla zabo , namakamela abo, bamemeze kubo, bathi: Luvalo nxazonke.

Amakamela aso ayakuba yimpango , nezinkomo zaso eziningi ziyakuphangwa. Ngiyakubahlakazela emimoyeni yonke , bonke abadilingiwe emaceleni amakhanda abo , ngehlisele phezu kwab o izingozi ezivela nxazonke, usho uJehova.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Bheka, ngiyakwaphula umnsalo we - Elamu, okokuqala kwamandla abo.

Izindlu zabo ziyakunikelwa kwabanye , amasimu abo nawomkabo kanyekanye, ngokuba ngiyakwelulela isandla sam i kwabakhileyo ezweni , usho uJehova.

Abelusi bayakufika kuyo benemihlambi yabo , bamise amatende abo ngakuyo nxazonke, baluse, kube yilowo nalowo endaweni yakhe.

Kepha abalalelanga , ababekanga izindlebe zabo , kepha bahamba ngamacebo abo nangenkani yezinhliziyo zabo ezimbi ; bahlehla, abayanga phambili.

Bakhile izindawo eziphakemeyo zaseThofeti ezisesigodini sendodana kaHinomu ukuba bashise amadodana abo namadodakazi ab o ngomlilo , engingakuyalelanga nokungangenanga enhliziyweni yami.

Abagogobele endlini yam i nezincekukazi zami bangishaya umfokazi ; ngingowezizwe emehlweni abo.

Inzalo yabo iyema phambi kwabo kanye nabo , nabantwana babo phambi kwamehlo abo.

Kusithekile emehlweni abo bonke abaphilayo, kufihliwe ezinyonini zezulu.

Lapho bephakamisa amehlo abo besekude , abamazanga; badazuluka bakhala, baklebhula, kwaba yilowo nalowo ingubo yakhe , bafafaza amakhanda abo ngothuli beluphonsa phezulu.

kusukela entabeni yaseHalaki kwenyukela eSeyiri , yebo, naseBali Gadi esigodini saseLebanoni ngaphansi kwentaba yaseHermoni ; onke amakhosi abo wawathatha, wawagenca, wawabulala.

UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa : Ungesabi ngenxa yabo , ngokuba kusasa ngalesi sikhathi ngizakubanikela bonke bebulewe ngaphambi kuka -Israyeli; wena uyakunquma amahhashi abo imisipha, uzishise izinqola zabo ngomlilo.

UJoshuwa wenza kubo njengokumyala kukaJehova : wanquma amahhashi abo imisipha, wazishisa izinqola zabo ngomlilo.

Kuthe uFinehasi umpristi , nezikhulu zenhlangano , izinhloko zemindeni yakwa-Israyeli ezazinaye sezizwile amaz wi akhulunywa ngabantwana bakwaRubeni, nangabantwana bakwaGadi , nangabantwana bakwaManase , kwaba kuhle emehlweni abo.

Inxenye yesizwe sakwaManase uMose wayeyabele izwe eBashani , kepha inxenye uJoshuwa way inika izwe phakathi kwabafowabo phesheya kweJordani ngasentshonalanga . Lapho uJoshuwa esebamukisa ukuba baye ematendeni abo, wababusisa, wakhuluma kubo, wathi:

Kwathi lapho abantu besuka ematendeni abo ukuba bawele iJordani , abapristi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano bephambi kwabantu,

UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa: Namuhla ngizakuqala ukukukhulisa emehlweni abo bonke abakwa-Israyeli ukuba bazi ukuthi njengalokho nganginoMose , kanjalo ngiyakuba nawe.

Ngalolo suku uJehova wamkhulisa uJoshuwa emehlweni abo bonke abakwa-Israyeli; bamesaba njengalokho babemesaba uMose izinsuku zonke zokuhamba kwakhe.

UJoshuwa waziklebhula izingubo zakhe , wawa n gobuso emhlabathini phambi komphongolo kaJehova kwaze kwahlwa , yena namalunga akwa - Israyeli; bathela uthuli emakhanda abo.

Ababoni bayakuba namahloni, ababhuli bayangaze; bayakumboza amadevu abo bonke, ngokuba akuveli mpendulo kuNkulunkulu.

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

UThobiya wakwa-Amoni wayengakuye, wathi: Yebo, nalokho abakwakhayo, uma kukhuphuka impungushe, iyakulubhidliza ugange lwamatshe abo.

Ngase ngikhuleka ngathi : Yizwa, Nkulunkulu wethu , ngokuba sidelelekile, ubuyisele inhlamba yabo phezu kw amakhanda abo , ubanikele ukuba baphangwe ezweni lokuthunjwa;
