Basuka kwaMidiyani , beza ePharanu ; bathatha amadoda ePharanu , baya nawo eGibithe kuFaro inkosi yaseGibithe; yena wamnika indlu, wamnqumela ukudla, wamnika nezwe.

Amadoda aqaphela lokho , ashesha ukuqinisa okuvela kuye , athi: Ngumfowenu uBeni Hadadi . Wathi: Hambani, nimlande. UBeni Hadadi wayesephumela kuye; wamkhwelisa inqola yakhe.

nibeke amadoda amabili , abantu ababi , phambi kwakhe , afakaze ngaye ngokuthi: U thukile uNkulunkulu nenkosi , bese nimkh iphela ngaphandle , nimkhande ngamatshe, afe.

Amadoda omuzi wakubo, amalunga nabakhulu ababehlala emzini wakubo, enza njengokuthumela kuka-Izebeli kuwo nanjengokulotshiweyo ezincwadini ayezithume kuwo.

UJehova uya kulibuyisela igazi lakhe ekhanda lakhe , ngokuba wasukela amadoda amabili alungileyo amahle kunaye , wawabulala ngenkemba, ubaba uDavide engazi: u-Abineri indodana kaNeri, induna yempi yakwa-Israyeli, no- Amasa indodana kaJetheri, induna yempi yakwaJuda.

Onke amadoda akwa -Israyeli abuthana enkosini uSo lomoni emkhosini wasenyangeni ka-Ethanimi eyinyanga yesikhombisa.

UHiramu wathuma ngale mikhumbi izinceku zakhe , amadoda emikhumbi ayelwazi ulwandle, kanye nezinceku zikaSolomoni.

kwasuka onke amadoda anamandla , asithatha isidumbu sikaSawule nezidumbu zamadodana akhe , aziletha eJabeshi, awembela amathambo abo phansi kwe-oki eJabeshi, azila ukudla izinsuku eziyisikhombisa.

U-Ebere wazala amadoda na amabili : igama lomunye lalinguPhelege , ngokuba emihleni yakhe izwe ladatshulwa . Igama lomfowabo lalinguJokothane.

Kwafunyaniswa emadodaneni ka -Eleyazare amadoda amaningi ayizinhloko kunasemadodaneni ka -Itamari; bahlukaniswa kanje : emadodaneni ka - Eleyazare kwaku khona abayishumi nesithupha abayiz inhloko zezindlu zawoyise, nasemadodaneni ka -Itamari babe yisishiyagalombili njengezindlu zawoyise.

Bonke labo babe ngamadodana ka -Obede Edomi , bona namadodana abo nabafowabo, amadoda aqinileyo anamandla enkonzweni , engamashumi ayisithupha nambili ka-Obede Edomi.

UMeshelemiya wayenamadodana nabafowabo , amadoda anamandla , eyishumi nesishiyagalombili.

nasemadodaneni ami onke , ngokuba uJehova ungiphe amadoda na amaningi, ukhethe uSo lomoni indodana yami ukuba ahlale esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso kaJehova kwa-Israyeli.

Amadodana kaRubeni , nabakwaGadi, nenxenye yesizwe sakwaManase , amadoda anamandla, amadoda aphatha ihawu nenkemba , ansala umnsalo , ayefunde ukulwa , ayeyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane nane namakhulu ayisikhombisa namashumi ayisithupha aphuma impi.

Nazi izinhloko zezindlu zawoyise : o-Eferi, no-Ishi, no-Eliyeli, no-Aziriyeli, noJeremiya, noHodaviya, noJahidiyeli, amaqhawe anamandla , amadoda anegama, izinhloko zezindlu zawoyise.

Kanjalo, bafazi, thobelani amadoda enu , ukuze kuthi , uma ekhona ongakholwa yizwi, azuzwe ngaphandle kwezwi ngenkambo yabafazi bawo,

Ngokuba kade babezihlobisa kanjalo abesifazane abangcwele abamethembayo uNkulunkulu, bethobela amadoda abo,

Ngalokho ngithanda ukuba amadoda akhuleke ezindaweni zonke , ephakamisa izandla ezingcwele, engenalulaka nokuphikisana. Maqondana nabesifazane ebandleni

Kepha-ke ngithanda ukuba nazi ukuthi inhloko yawo onke amadoda inguKristu, nenhloko yowesifazane iyindoda , nenhloko kaKristu inguNkulunkulu.

kwasuka onke amadoda anamandla , ahamba u busuku bonke , asithatha isidumbu sikaSawule , nezidumbu zamadodana akhe ogangeni lwaseBeti Shani, afika eJabeshi, azishisa khona.

Kepha wawusufohlwa umuzi , onke amadoda empi abaleka ebusuku ngendlela yesango phakathi kwezingange zombili ezazingasensimini yenkosi amaKaledi ayekhona nxazonke zomuzi ahamba ngendlela yase-Araba.

Athi kuye : Bheka, kukhona phakathi kwezinceku zakho amadoda angamashumi ayisihlanu anamandla ; mawahambe, afune inkosi yakho ; kumbe uMoya kaJehova umkhuphulile , wamlahla entabeni ethile noma esigodini esithile. Kepha wathi: Ningawathumi.

U-Abiya nabantu bakhe babaceka ngokuceka okukhulu ; kwawa amadoda akhethiweyo akwa-Israyeli abuleweyo ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisihlanu.

Inkosi yakwa -Israyeli yayisibutha abaprofethi , amadoda angamakhulu amane, yathi kubo : Sihambe siye yini eRamoti Gileyadi ukulwa, noma ngiliyeke na ? Bathi: Khuphukani, ngokuba uNkulunkulu uyakul inikela esandleni senkosi.

U-Azariya umpristi wangena em va kwakhe, bekhona kanye naye abapristi bakaJehova abangamashumi ayisishiyagalombili, amadoda anamandla;

Amadoda enza umsebenzi wawo ngokuthembeka ; ababonisi phezu kwabo babe ngoJahati no-Obadiya amaLevi, emadodaneni akwaMerari, noZakariya noMeshulamu emadodaneni amaKohati , ukuba babahole , kanye namaLevi onke ayeqonda izinto zokubethwa.

Onke amadoda akwa -Israyeli abuthana enkosini emkhosini wasenyangeni yesikhombisa.

Kwathi uJowabe esahlozinga umuzi , wammisa u-Uriya endaweni lapho azi ukuthi kukhona amadoda anamandla.

Isithunywa sathi kuDavide : Amadoda ayesehlula, asiphumela endle, kepha sawaficezela kwaze kwaba sesikhaleni sesango.

UJehova wayesethuma uNathani kuDavide . Wafika kuye , wathi kuye : Kwakukhona amadoda amabili emzini munye, enye icebile, enye impofu.

U-Abisalomu nabantu bonke , amadoda akwa -Israyeli, bafika eJerusalema, u-Ahithofeli enabo.

Bheka, base befika bonke abantu bakwa-Israyeli enkosini, bathi enkosini: Abafowethu amadoda akwaJuda bakwebeleni, bawelisa inkosi nabendlu yayo iJordani kanye nabo bonke abantu bakwaDavide benaye, na?

UDavide wayesebamba izingubo zakhe , waziklebhula kanye nawo onke amadoda ayenaye.

Emva kwakhe kwaphuma amadoda kaJowabe , namaKhereti namaPheleti , namaqhawe onke; baphuma eJerusalema ukuba ba mxoshe uSheba indodana kaBikri.

UJowabe wayesenika inkosi umumo wabantu ababaliweyo ; kwaba khona kwa-Israyeli amadoda anamandla ayizinkulungwane ezi ngamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili ahloma inkemba ; amadoda akwaJuda ayeyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisihlanu. Isifo

Amadoda akwa -Efrayimi abuthana , aya ngasenyakatho ; athi kuJefta : Uwelelani ukulwa nabantwana bakwa-Amoni, ungasibizanga ukuba sihambe nawe, na? Siyakushisa ngomlilo indlu yakho phezu kwakho.

Abantwana bakwaBenjamini abavela emizini babalwa ngalolo suku baba ngamadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili n esithupha ahlome inkemba ngaphandle kwabakhileyo eGibeya ababalwa baba ngamakhulu ayisikhombisa, amadoda akhethiweyo.

Phakathi kwabo bonke labo bantu kwakukhona amadoda angamakhulu ayisikhombisa akhethiweyo angamanxele; onke ayekwazi ukuphonsa amatshe ngisho nasonweleni, engageji.

Abantu bakwa -Israyeli ngaphandle kukaBenjamini babalwa baba yizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane , amadoda ahlome inkemba ; bonke labo babe ngamadoda empi.

Abantwana bakwaBenjamini baphuma eGibeya , babulala kwabakwa - Israyeli ngalolo suku amadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili.

Abantu, amadoda akwa-Israyeli, baziqinisa, babuye bahlela impi endaweni abazihlela kuyo ngosuku lokuqala.

UBenjamini waphuma eGibeya ukuhlangabezana nabo ngosuku lwesibili , wabuye wabulala kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli amadoda ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili; bonke labo babehlome inkemba.

Abantwana bakwaBenjamini baphuma ukulwa nabantu , badonswa, baphuma emzini ; baqala ukubulala nokuceka abantu njengakwezinye izikhathi emendweni, omunye okhuphukela eBethele , omunye oya eGibeya ensimini, kungathi amadoda angamashumi amathathu kwa-Israyeli.

UGideyoni wayesethatha amadoda ayishumi ezincekwini zakhe , wenza njengalokho uJehova ekhulumile kuye; kwathi lokhu ebesaba abendlu kayise nabantu bomuzi ukuba angakwenzi emini, wakwenza ebusuku.

Wahlukanisela amadoda angamakhulu amathathu izigaba ezintathu , wawanika, kwaba yi leyo naleyo amacilongo ezandleni zawo , nezitsha ezingenalutho, nezimbaqa zisezitsheni.

Onke amadoda ayemi , kwaba yileyo naleyo , ahaqa ikamu ; bonke abasekamu bagijima bamemeza.

Amadoda akwa -Israyeli ayebuthene evela kwaNafetali , nakwa-Asheri, nakulo lonke lakwaManase, abaxosha abakwaMidiyani.

UGideyoni wayesethuma izithunywa ezintabeni zonke zakwa -Efrayimi, wathi: Yehlani, nihlangabezane nabakwaMidiyani, nibavimbe emanzini kuze kube seBetha Bara naseJordani. Onke amadoda akwa-Efrayimi ayesebuthana, abavimbela emanzini kwaze kwaba seBetha Bara naseJordani.

Wayesefika kubantu baseSukoti , wathi: Bhekani oZeba noSalimuna enangiswabulela ngabo , nathi: Izandla zikaZeba noSalimuna sezisesandleni sakho ukuba siphe amadoda akho ayethileyo isinkwa na?

UPetru esasambathekile ngokuthi ngakube uyini lowo mbono awubonileyo , bheka, amadoda ayethunyiwe nguKorneliyu, esebuzile indlu kaSimoni , ema ngasesangweni,

UPetru esazindla ngombono , uMoya wathi kuye : Bheka, amadoda amabili ayakufuna;

UPetru wayesehlela kuwo amadoda , wathi: Bhekani, yimina enimfunayo ; kuyindabani enize ngayo na?

Thuma-ke amadoda eJopha, ubize uSimoni othile othiwa uPetru;

Bhekani, ngaso leso sikhathi kwase kumi amadoda amathathu phambi kwendlu esasikuyo; ayethunyelwe kimi, evela eKesariya.

Kodwa kwakukhona abanye kubo, amadoda aseKhupro naseKhurene, abathi befika e-Antiyokiya, bakhuluma nakum aGreki, beshumayela ivangeli ngeNkosi uJesu.

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,

kwaba kuhle kithi sesinhliziyonye ukuthuma kini amadoda akhethiweyo kanye nabathandiweyo bethu oBarnaba noPawulu,

Kepha amadoda athile anamathela kuye , akholwa; phakathi kwawo kwakukhona noDiyonisiyu wase -Areyophagu, nowesifazane ogama lakhe linguDamari, nabanye kanye nabo.

Bathi besagqolozela ezulwini emuka, bheka, amadoda amabili ayemi kubo, embethe izingubo ezimhlophe,

naphakathi kwenu kuzakuvuka amadoda akhuluma okudukisayo , ahunge abafundi ukubalandela.

Ngakho yenza lokhu esikusho kuwe : Kukhona kithi amadoda amane azibophile ngesifungo;

Kanti awusiye yini lowo waseGibithe owambuka ngaphambi kwalezi zinsuku, waholela ehlane amadoda ayizinkulungwane ezine angababulali na?

Ngakho-ke wena ungabavumeli , ngokuba kubona amqamekele amadoda angaphezu kwamashumi amane azilokotheleyo ukuba angadli , angaphuzi, engakambulali; manje-ke sebelungele bebheke isithembiso sakho.

Kepha kwakukhona abaJuda abakhile eJerusalema , amadoda akholwayo , evela ezizweni zonke eziphansi kwezulu;

Kepha kwafika omunye , wababikela wathi : Bhekani, amadoda ebeniwafakile etilongweni emi ethempelini, afundisa abantu.

Ngokuba ngaphambi kwalezi zinsuku kwasuka uThewuda ezishaya omkhulu; kwanamathela kuye amadoda angathi amakhulu amane; wabulawa yena nabo bonke abamlalelayo, bachitheka, baphela.

Khona bathenga amadoda athi : Simzwile ekhuluma amazwi enhlamba ngoMose nangoNkulunkulu,

Funani-ke phakathi kwe nu bazalwane amadoda ayisikhombisa anodumo oluhle, agcwele uMoya nokuhlakanipha, esingawamisela lowo msebenzi.

Amadoda akholwayo ammbela uStefanu, amkhalela isililo esikhulu.

Kepha iLida laliseduze neJopha ; ngakho-ke abafundi sebezwile ukuthi uPetru ukhona lapho , bathuma kuye amadoda amabili emnceng a ethi : Ungalibali ukuza kithi.

Kepha amadoda ayehamba naye ayemi engenakukhuluma, ngokuba ezwa izwi kodwa ayengaboni muntu.

sokuthi: Amadoda amadala mawabe ngazithibayo , azothileyo, aqondileyo, aphilile ekukholweni, nasothandweni, nasekubekezeleni;

ukuze bafundise abesifazane abasha ukuthanda amadoda abo , bathande nabantwana babo;

babe ngabaqondileyo, abamhlophe, abaphatha kahle amakhaya, abamnene, abathobela amadoda abo ukuba izwi likaNkulunkulu lingahlanjalazwa.

Abafazi mabathobele amadoda abo kungathi kukuyo iNkosi,

Kepha njengokuba ibandla lithobela uKristu, kanjalo nabafazi mabathobele amadoda ezintweni zonke.

Kanjalo amadoda afanele ukuthanda omkawo njengemizimba yawo . Othanda umkakhe uzithanda yena.

Bafazi, thobelani amadoda enu njengokufanele eNkosini.

Kepha impendulo kaNkulunkulu ithini kuye na ? Ithi: Ngizishiyele amadoda ayizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa angaguqanga ngamadolo kuBali.

UJesu wathi : Bahlaliseni abantu . Kwakukhona utshani obuningi kuleyo ndawo. Ahlala phansi-ke amadoda, umumo wawo kungathi izinkulungwame eziyisihlanu.

Amadoda aseNineve ayakusukuma ekwahlulelweni kanye nalesi sizukulwane, asilahle; ngokuba aphenduka ngokushumayela kukaJona ; bhekani, lapha kukhona okukhulu kunoJona. Imifanekiso yesibani (Math. 5:15; Mark. 4:21; Luk. 8:16)

Esangena emzaneni othile , kwahlangana naye amadoda ayishumi anochoko, amela kude,

Amadoda abembambile uJesu ambhinqa emshaya.

Kwathi besasambathekile yilokho , bheka, nanko amadoda amabili emi ngakubo, enezingubo ezicwebezelayo.

Bheka-ke, nanko amadoda ethwele ohlakeni umuntu ofe uhlangothi , efuna ukumngenisa nokumbeka phambi kwakhe.

Amadoda esefikile kuyo athi : UJohane uMbhapathizi usithumele kuwe , ethi: Wena unguye ozayo, noma sobheka omunye na?

Kepha izixuku sezazi zamlandela ; wazithakazela, wakhuluma kuzo ngombuso kaNkulunkulu, wabaphulukisa abaswela ukuphulukiswa. UJesu usuthisa amadoda ayizinkulungwane eziyisihlanu (Math. 14:13; Mark. 6:30; Joh. 6:1)

Ngokuba kwakukhona amadoda okungathi izinkulungwane eziyisihlanu . Wathi kubafundi bakhe: Bahlaliseni ngezigaba ngamashumi ayisihlanu.

Bheka, kwakhuluma naye amadoda amabili ayengoMose no-Eliya;

Kwathi ukuba abafundi bakhe bakuzwe lokho , beza b athatha isidumbu sakhe, basibeka ethuneni. UJesu usuthisa amadoda ayizinkulungwane eziyisihlanu (Math. 14:13; Luk. 9:12; Joh. 6:1)

Amadoda aseNineve ayakusukuma ekwahlulelweni kanye nalesi sizukulwane, asilahle; ngokuba aphenduka ngokushumayela kukaJona ; bhekani, kukhona lapha okukhulu kunoJona.

Kwafika abafundi bakhe, bathabatha isidumbu, basimbela; baya bambikela uJesu. UJesu usuthisa amadoda ayizinkulungwane eziyisihlanu (Mark. 6:30; Luk. 9:12; Joh. 6:1)

Kepha abadlayo kwakungathi amadoda a yizinkulungwane eziyisihlanu ngaphandle kwabesifazane nabantwana. UJesu uhamba phezu kolwandle (Mark. 6:45; Joh. 6:16)

Athi ukumazi amadoda aleyo ndawo , athuma izigijimi kul o lonke izwe langakhona; baletha kuye bonke abagulayo.

Khona uJesu waphendula , wathi kuye : O mame , kukhulu ukukholwa kwakho; makube kuwe njengokuthanda kwakho. Indodakazi yakhe yasinda kusukela kuleso sikhathi. UJesu uphulukisa iziguli; usuthisa amadoda ayizinkulungwane ezine (Mark. 7:31; 8:1)

Kuyakuthi uma kusele amadoda ayishumi endlini inye, afe.

UMose wathi kuJoshuwa : Sikhethele amadoda , uphume ulwe no -Amaleki; kusasa ngizakuma esiqongweni sentaba , induku kaNkulunkulu isesandleni sami.

Futhi-ke wozifunela phakathi kwabantu bonke amadoda anamandla amesabayo uNkulunkulu , amadoda athembekileyo , azonda inzuzo engalungile, uwabeke phezu kwabo , abe yizinduna zezinkulungwane , nezinduna zamakhulu , nezinduna zamashumi ayisihlanu , nezinduna zamashumi.

UMose wakhetha amadoda an amandla phakathi kuka -Israyeli wonke , wawabeka aba yizinhloko phezu kwabantu , izinduna zezinkulungwane , nezinduma zamakhulu , nezinduna zamashumi ayisihlanu , nezinduna zamashumi.

Waphuma nangosuku olulandelayo ; bheka, nanko amadoda amabili amaHeberu exabene; wathi kowonileyo: Umshayelani owakini na?

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

amadoda aseNethofa; ngamashumi ayisihlanu nesithupha;

amadoda ase-Anathoti: yikhulu namashumi amabili nesishiyagalombili;

amadoda aseMikimasi: yikhulu namashumi amabili nambili;

amadoda aseBethele nase -Ayi: ngamakhulu amabili namashumi am abili nantathu;

Amadoda akho ayakuwa ngenkemba namaqhawe akho ngokulwa.

Kukhona amadoda abaJuda owabeke phezu kwezindaba zesifunda saseBabele, oShadiraki, noMeshaki, no-Abedi Nego ; lawa madoda , nkosi, awakunakanga; awakhonzi onkulunkulu bakho , awakhuleki esithombeni segolide osimisileyo.

Wayeseyaleza amadoda anamandla asempini yakhe ukuba abophe oShadiraki, noMeshaki, no-Abedi Nego , abaphonse esithandweni somlilo ovuthayo.

Khona uNebukadinesari inkosi wethuka , wasuka wakhuluma, wathi kwabomkhandlu wakhe : Angithi siphonse amadoda amathathu eboshiwe phakathi komlilo na? Baphendula, bathi enkosini: Uqinisile, nkosi.

Yaphendula yathi : Bhekani, ngibona amadoda amane akhululekileyo ehamba phakathi komlilo , awachithwanga; ukubonakala kweyesine kunjengendodana yawonkulunkulu.

Ngalokho kwasondela ngaleso sikhathi amadoda amaKaledi , ahleba abaJuda.

amadoda omabili axabeneyo ayakuma phambi kukaJehova , phambi kwabapristi nabahluleli abayakuba khona ngaleso sikhathi,

Nizithathele amadoda ahlakaniphileyo, aqondileyo, aziwayo ezizweni zenu, ngiwenze abe yizinhloko phezu kwenu.

Ngase ngithatha izinhloko zezizwe zenu , amadoda ahlakaniphileyo naziwayo, ngawenza aba yizinhloko phezu kwenu : izinduna zezinkulungwane, nezinduna zamakhulu , nezinduna zamashumi ayisihlanu , nezinduna zamashumi, neziphathimandla ezizweni zenu.

Nasondela kimi nina nonke , nathi: M asithume amadoda phambi kwethu ukuba asihlolele izwe , asibuyisele izwi ngendlela esimelwe ukukhuphuk a ngayo, nangemizi esiyakufika kuyo.

Leyo nto yaba nhle emehlweni ami , ngathatha kini amadoda ayishumi nambili, kwaba yindoda inye kuleso naleso sizwe.

kuyakuthi mhla ewahlukanisela amadoda na akhe ifa analo , makangayenzi indodana yentandokazi izibulo phambi kwendodana yesaliwakazi okuyiyona eyizibulo,

Onke amadoda omuzi wakubo ayakumkhanda ngamatshe aze afe ; kanjalo uyakukhipha ububi phakathi kwakho, wonke u-Israyeli ezwe, esabe. Umthetho womuntu ophanyekwayo

bayakuyikhiphela intombi ngasemnyango wendlu kayise , amadoda omuzi ayikhande ngamatshe ize ife , ngokuba yenzile ubuwula kwa -Israyeli, ifeba endlini kayise; kanjalo uyakukhipha ububi phakathi kwakho.

Nxa amadoda amabili elwa , umfazi wenye abesesondela ukuyophula indoda yakhe esandleni saleyo eyishayayo , aselule isandla sakhe, ayibambe ngomphambili,

AmaLevi ayakuphendula, athi kuwo onke amadoda akwa -Israyeli ngezwi elikhulu:

Kwathi onke amadoda empi esephelile afa phakathi kwabantu,

Butha abantu , amadoda, nabesifazane, nabantwana, nomfokazi wakho ophakathi kwamasango akho ukuba bezwe , bafunde, bamesabe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, baqaphele ukuwenza onke amazwi alo mthetho,

Makaphile uRubeni, angafi; amadoda akhe abe ngumumo omkhulu.

UFaro wayala amadoda ngaye ; ammukisa kanye nomkakhe nakho konke anakho.

Onke amadoda emzini wakhe ayezelwe endlini nayethengwe ngemali kowezizwe asokwa kanye naye.

Amadoda asuka lapho , abheka ngaseSodoma; u-Abrahama wahamba nawo ewaphelekezela.

Waphakamisa amehlo akhe , wabuka; bheka, amadoda amathathu ayemi phambi kwakhe ; wathi ukuba awabone , wasuka emnyango wetende, wagijima ukuwahlangabeza, wakhothama,

Ayesefulathela lapho amadoda , aya ngaseSodoma, kepha u -Abrahama wayesemi ebusweni bukaJehova.

Khona amadoda azelula izandla, ambuyisela uLoti endlini, avala umnyango.

Amadoda ayephandle kwendlu awashaya ngobumpumputhe , amancane namakhulu, aze akhathala ukufuna umnyango.

Ayesethi amadoda kuLoti : Unobani futhi lapha na ? Umkhwenyana, namadodana akho , namadodakazi akho , nabo bonke onabo emzini baphumise kule ndawo,

Esalibala, amadoda abamba isandla sakhe , nesandla somkakhe, nesandla samadodakazi akhe omabili , uJehova enomusa kuye ; amphumisa, ambeka ngaphandle komuzi.

Zingakalali, amadoda omuzi, amadoda aseSodoma, azungeza indlu, amasha namadala, abantu bonke bephelele.

U-Abimeleki wavuka ekuseni , wabiza izinceku zakhe zonke , wakhuluma onke lawa mazwi ezindlebeni zazo; amadoda esaba kakhulu.

Amadoda aleyo ndawo ambuza ngomkakhe ; wathi: Ungudadewethu, ngokuba wesaba ukusho ukuthi : Ungumkami, ethi: Funa amadoda aleyo ndawo angibulale ngenxa kaRebeka, lokhu ebukeka kahle.

Amadoda ayesethatha leso sipho nemali ephindwe kabili esandleni sawo kanye noBenjamini, asuka ehlela eGibithe, ema ebusweni bukaJosefa.

Lowo muntu wenza njengalokho eshilo uJosefa ; inceku yawangenisa amadoda endlini kaJosefa.

Amadoda esaba , ngokuba angeniswa e ndlini kaJosefa , athi: Singeniswe lapha ngenxa yemali eyabuyiselwa emasakeni ethu kuqala ukuba asizume , asehlele, asenze izigqila kanye nezimbongolo zethu.

Inceku yayisingenisa amadoda endlini kaJosefa , yawanika amanzi ; ageza izinyawo zawo; yazipha izimbongolo zawo ukudla.

Ngakusasa nxa sekusile, amadoda amukiswa, wona nezimbongolo zawo.

Phakathi kwabafowabo wathatha amadoda ayisihlanu , wawabeka phambi kukaFaro.

izwe laseGibithe lisebusweni bakho ; mhlalise uyihlo nabafowenu ezweni elihle kunalo lonke , ubahlalise ezweni laseGosheni ; uma uwazi phakathi kwabo amadoda anamandla, wabeke abe yizinduna zezinkomo zami.

UMoya wangiphakamisa , wangiyisa esangweni lendlu kaJehova lasempumalanga, elibhekene nempumalanga; bheka, ngasesivalweni sesango kwakukhona amadoda angamashumi amabi li nanhlanu ; ngabona phakathi kwawo uJahazaniya indodana ka -Azuri noPhelathiya indodana kaBenaya , izikhulu zabantu.

Kwafika kimi amadoda amalunga akwa-Israyeli, ahlala phambi kwami.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wesikhombisa , ngenyanga yesihlanu , ngolweshumi lwenyanga kwafika amadoda athile amalunga akwa -Israyeli ukuba abuze kuJehova; ahlala phambi kwami.

Wengezela ebufebeni bakhe , ngokuba wabona amadoda ayedwetshwe odongeni, imifanekiso yamaKaledi eyayilotshwe ngebomvu,

Futhi nithumele amadoda avela kude , okwathunywa kuwo isithunywa ; bheka, afika; wazihlanzela wona, wawagqabela amehlo akho , wazivunulisa ngezivunulo,

AbasePheresiya noLude noPhuthi babe sempini yakho , amadoda empi yakho; baphanyeka izihlangu nezigqoko kuwe; baveza ubuhle bakho.

Ingcebo yakho , nempahla yakho , nentutho yakho , amatilosi akho , nabashayeli bakho , abavimbi zimf a bakho , nabaphathi bakho bokuthenga, nawo onke amadoda akho empi akuwe , naso sonke isixuku esiphakathi kwakho kuyakuwela enhliziyweni yolwandle ngosuku lokuwa kwakho.

Niyakusutha etafuleni lami ngamahhashi, nangezinqola, nangamaqhawe, nangawo onke amadoda empi, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Wayesengingenisa egcekeni elingaphakathi lendlu kaJehova ; bheka, ngasemnyango weth empeli likaJehova phakathi kompheme ne -altare kwakukhona kungathi amadoda angamashumi amabili nanhlanu efulathele ithempeli likaJehova, ubuso bawo bubhekene nempumalanga, ekhonza ilanga ngasempumalanga.

Bheka, kwafika amadoda ayisithupha evela endleleni yasesangweni lasenhla, elingasenyakatho, yileyo naleyo inesikhali sokubulala esandleni sayo, enye phakathi kwawo yembethe ilineni , inophondo lukayinki womlobi ngasokhalweni lwayo. Angena, ema ngaseceleni le-altare lethusi.

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

Inkosi uJehoyakimi yayisithuma amadoda eGibithe , u-Elinathani indodana ka-Akibori enamadoda, baye eGibithe.

Ake nibuze, nibone, uma owesilisa wake wabeletha na? Ngibonelani onke amadoda enezandla zawo ezinkalweni njengobelethayo, ubuso bonke buphaphathekile, na?

Kwathi lapho uSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda nawo onke amadoda empi bezibona, babaleka, bephuma emzini ebusuku ngendlela yensimu yenkosi ngesango phakathi kwezingange zombili; waphuma ngendlela yase-Araba.

UJohanani indodana kaKhareya nazo zonke izinduna zempi ezazinaye base bethatha yonke insali yabantu ayeyibuyisile ku -Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya eMispa , yena esembulele uGedaliya indodana ka -Ahikamu, amadoda empi , nabesifazane, nabantwana, nabathenwa ayebabuyisile eGibeyoni.

U-Ishmayeli wabulala nabo bonke abaJuda ababe naye uGedaliya eMispa , namaKaledi, amadoda empi ayefunyanwa khona.

kwafika amadoda angamashumi ayisis hiyagalombili evela eShekemi , naseShilo, naseSamariya, izilevu zawo ziphuculiwe nezingubo ziklejuliwe , bezisikile, bephethe iminikelo yempuphu nempepho ezandleni zabo ukuba bakulethe endlini kaJehova.

Kepha kwafunyanwa amadoda ayishumi phakathi kwabo asho ku -Ishmayeli, athi: Ungasibulali, ngokuba sinokolweni , nebhali, namafutha, nezinyosi okubekelelwe endle. Wayesebayeka, akababulalanga kanye nabafowabo.

Ayesephendula uJeremiya onke amadoda ayekwazi ukuthi omkawo bashisela abanye onkulunkulu impepho nabo bonke abesifazane ababemi khona, ibandla elikhulu , bonke abantu ababehlala ezweni laseGibithe ePhatirosi; bathi:

Ngalokho ngiyakuhhewula ngoMowabi , ngikhale ngaye wonke uMowabi , balilisele amadoda aseKhiri Heresi.

Ngalokho inhliziyo yam i ikhalela uMowabi njengemitshingo , futhi inhliziyo yami ikhalela amadoda aseKhiri Heresi njengemitshingo, ngokuba okuseleyo abakuzuzileyo kuyachitheka.

Ngalokho izinsizwa zawo ziyakuwa ezitaladini zalo , nawo onke amadoda empi ayakuthuliswa ngalolo suku, usho uJehova Sebawoti.

Ngalokho izinsizwa zal o ziyakuwa ezitaladini zalo , nawo onke amadoda alo empi ayakunqunywa ngalolo suku, usho uJehova.

Amazibuko avinjiwe, umhlanga ushisiwe ngomlilo, amadoda empi ayesaba.

Kepha wawusufohlwa umuzi , onke amadoda empi abaleka , aphuma emzini ebusuku ngendlela yesango phakathi kwezingange zombili ezazingasensimini yenkosi -- amaKaledi ayekhona nxazonke zomuzi -- ahamba ngendlela yase - Araba.

Kepha amadoda agwedla ukuba abuyele emhlabathini , kepha ahluleka , ngokuba ulwandle lwaqhubeka lwaba nesiphepho kuwo.

Amadoda ayesesaba uJehova ngokwesaba okukhulu; ahlabela uJehova umhlatshelo, enza izithembiso.

UJoshuwa wathi : Gingqelani amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni womhume , nibeke amadoda ngakuwo ukuba awalinde;

besaba kakhulu , ngokuba iGibeyoni lalingumuzi omkhulu njengomunye wemizi yamakhosi nangokuba lalilikhulu kune -Ayi, onke amadoda alo engamaqhawe.

Kwathi lapho bekhiphela kuJoshuwa lawo makhosi, uJoshuwa wabiza onke amadoda akwa-Israyeli, wathi ezinduneni zamadoda empi ezazihamba naye : Sondelani, nibeke izinyawo zenu ezintanyeni zalawa makhosi . Zasondela-ke, zabeka izinyawo zazo ezintanyeni zawo.

Amadoda aseGibeyoni athumela kuJoshuwa ekamu laseGiligali , athi: Ungayekethisi isandla sakho ezincekwini zakho ; shesha ukhuphukele kithi usisindise, usisize, ngokuba onke amakhosi ama -Amori akhile ezintabeni asihlanganyele.

Zimiseleni amadoda amathathu izizwe ngezizwe ; ngiyakuwathuma ukuba asuke ahambe ezweni, alilobe njengamafa azo, aze afike kimi.

Amadoda ayesesuka, ahamba; uJoshuwa wayala abahambayo ukuba balobe izwe, wathi: Sukani nihambe ezweni , nililobe, nibuyele kimi , nginenzele inkatho phambi kukaJehova eShilo.

Ayesehamba amadoda , adabula izwe , aliloba ngemizi , kwaba yizabelo eziyisikhombisa encwadini; afika kuJoshuwa ekamu laseShilo.

Nase niwela iJordani, nafika eJeriko; amadoda aseJeriko alwa nani, nama- Amori, namaPherizi, namaKhanani, namaHeti, namaGirigashi, namaHivi, namaJebusi, ngawanikela esandleni senu.

UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni wathuma ngasese eseShithimi amadoda amabili abe yizinhloli, wathi: Hambani nibone izwe neJeriko. Basuka, bafika endlini yesifebe esigama laso linguRahabi, balala khona.

Athi amadoda kuye : Mayife imiphefumulo yethu esikhundleni senu ; uma ningavezi obala le ndaba yethu, siyakunenzela umusa neqiniso lapho uJehova esinika izwe.

Ayesethi amadoda kuye : Thina asinacala ngaleso sifungo sakho osifungise sona,

Inkosi yaseJeriko yatshelwa ; kwathiwa: Bheka, kwafika lapha ebusuku amadoda abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba ahlole izwe.

Owesifazane wayesethatha lawo madoda omabili , wawathukusa, wathi: Kunjalo; amadoda afika kimi, kepha ngangingazi ukuthi avelaphi;

kwathi ngesikhathi sokuvalwa kwesango lapho sekumnyama , amadoda aphuma; angazi ukuthi ayaphi lawo madoda ; sheshani niwaxoshe, ngokuba niyakuwafica.

Ngalokho zithatheleni manje amadoda ayishumi nambili ezizweni zakwa - Israyeli, indoda ibenye ngesizwe.

Zithatheleni amadoda ayishumi nambili, indoda ibenye ngesizwe,

Nasi isizathu uJoshuwa abasoka ngaso : bonke abantu abaphuma eGibithe ababengabesilisa, onke amadoda empi , bafa ehlane ngasendleleni , sebephumile eGibithe.

Ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahamba iminyaka engamashumi amane ehlane , saze saphela isizwe sonke , yiwo amadoda empi aphuma eGibithe, lokhu engalalelanga izwi likaJehova , afunga kuwo uJehova ukuthi akayikuwabonisa izwe uJehova alifungela oyise ethi uyakusinika lona , izwe elivame ubisi nezinyosi.

Niyakuhaqa umuzi , onke amadoda empi , niwuzungeze umuzi kanye . Uyakwenze njalo izinsuku eziyisithupha.

UJoshuwa wathuma amadoda, asuka eJeriko aya e -Ayi eliseceleni kweBeti Aveni ngasempumalanga kwaseBethele , wakhuluma kuwo , wathi: Khuphukani, nilihlole izwe. Amadoda akhuphuka ahlola i-Ayi.

Abuyela kuJoshuwa , athi kuye : Mabangakhuphuki bonk e abantu ; makuhambe amadoda kungathi izinkulungwane ezimbili noma ezintathu , alichithe i -Ayi; ungabakhathazi bonke abantu ngokuya khona , ngokuba bayingcosana nje.

Amadoda ase -Ayi abulala abantu abangamashumi amathathu nesithupha , abaxosha esuka phambi kwesango aze afika eShebarimi , ababulala emthambekeni; izinhliziyo zabantu zaphela amandla, zaba njengamanzi.

Wathatha amadoda kungathi izinkulungwane eziyisihlanu, wawaqamekelisa phakathi kweBethele ne-Ayi ngasentshonalanga komuzi.

Kwathi inkosi yase -Ayi ikubona lokho, ashesha avuka ekuseni amadoda omuzi, aphuma ukuhlasela u -Israyeli, yona nabantu bayo , endaweni enqunyiweyo ngaphambi kwehlane ; yayingazi n okho ukuthi babekhona abayiqamekeleyo ngasemva komuzi.

Lapho amadoda ase-Ayi ebheka emva kwabo, abona, bheka, umusi womuzi wenyukela ngasezulwini ; ayengenamandla ukubaleka ngalapha noma ngalapha, lapho abantu ababebalekele ngasehlane sebephendukela ababaxoshayo.

Ngokuba nxa uJoshuwa nabo bonke abakwa -Israyeli bebona ukuthi abaqamekeleyo bawuthathile umuzi nokuthi umusi womuzi wenyuka , base bebuyela emuva, bawabulala amadoda ase-Ayi.

UJoshuwa wasuka kanye nabo bonke abantu bempi ukuba akh uphukele e- Ayi; uJoshuwa wakhetha amadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu amaqhawe anamandla, wawathuma ebusuku.

Amadoda ayesethatha emphakweni wabo engabuzanga umlomo kaJehova.

Amadoda akwa-Israyeli athi kumaHivi : Mhlawumbe nakhile phakathi kwethu; singenza kanjani isivumelwano nani na?

Memezelani lokhu phakathi kwabezizwe , ningcwelise impi , niwavuse amaqhawe; mawasondele, enyuke onke amadoda empi.

Izihlangu za maqhawe akhe zibomvu , amadoda anamandla embethe okubomvu; izinqola zibengezela umlilo ensimbini ngosuku lokuzilungisela kwakhe; imikhonto iyaveva.

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.

Eceleni kwabo kwalungisa uMelathiya waseGibeyoni , noJadoni waseMeronoti, amadoda aseGibeyoni naseMispa , phansi kwesihlalo sombusi phesheya koMfula.

Amadoda aseBetlehema naseNethofa : yikhulu namashumi ayisishiyagalombili nesishiyagalombili;

amadoda ase-Anathoti: yikhulu namashumi amabili nesishiyagalombili;

amadoda aseBeti Azimaveti: ngamashumi amane nambili;

amadoda aseKiriyati Jeharimi , naseKhefira, naseBeyeroti: ngamakhulu ayisikhombisa namashumi amane nantathu;

amadoda aseRama naseGeba: ngamakhulu ayisithupha namashumi amabili nanye;

amadoda aseMikimasi: yikhulu namashumi amabili nambili;

amadoda aseBethele nase-Ayi: yikhulu namashumi amabili nantathu;

amadoda elinye iNebo: ngamashumi ayisihlanu nambili;

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose , wathi: Ngibuthele amadoda angamashumi ayisikhombisa amalunga akwa-Israyeli, owaziyo ukuthi angamalunga abantu nezinduna zabo, uwalethe etendeni lokuhlangana ukuba eme khona nawe.

UMose waphuma, wabatshela abantu amazwi kaJehova; wabutha amadoda angamashumi ayisikhombisa amalunga ab antu, wawamisa ngasetendeni nxazonke.

Kodwa kwasala amadoda amabili ekamu , igama lenye lalingu -Elidadi, igama leyesibili linguMedadi; umoya wayehlala phezu kwawo ; ayephakathi kwalawo alotshiweyo, kepha awayanga etendeni; aprofetha ekamu.

Yilawo amagama amadoda athunywa nguMose ukuhlola izwe . UMose wambiza uHosheya indodana kaNuni ngokuthi uJoshuwa.

Kepha amadoda ayenyuke naye athi: Asinakwenyuka, sihlasele labo bantu, ngokuba banamandla kunathi.

UKora kaJisihari kaKohati kaLevi, kanye noDathani no-Abiramu, amadodana ka-Eliyabe, no-Oni indodana kaPheleti , amadodana kaRubeni , bathatha amadoda,

bamvukela uMose benabathile babantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abangamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu , izikhulu zenhlangano , amanxusa ebandla , amadoda adumileyo;

Lawa angamagama amadoda ayakuma nani : kwaRubeni: u-Elisuri indodana kaShedewuri.

UNkulunkulu weza kuBileyamu ebusuku , wathi kuye: Uma amadoda efika ukukubiza, vuka uhambe nawo; kepha lelo zwi kuphela engilikhuluma kuwe uyakulenza.

uthelisele uJehova amadoda empi aya ekulweni , kube kunye emakhulwini ayisihlanu, awabantu, nawezinkomo, nawezimbongolo, nawezimvu,

UMose wayesekhuluma kubantu, wathi: Hlomiselani impi amadoda phakathi kwenu ukuba ahlasele abakwaMidiyani , aphindisele uJehova kwabakwaMidiyani;

Izinceku zakho zibale onke amadoda empi asesandleni sethu , akwasala neyodwa yethu.

Ngokuba amadoda empi ayezithathele impango , kwaba yileyo naleyo ngokwayo.

kuwele iJordani onke amadoda enu ahlomileyo phambi kukaJehova , aze axoshe izitha zakhe phambi kwakhe,

Lawa angamagama amadoda ayakwahlukanisela izwe libe yifa lenu : u- Eleyazare umpristi noJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.

Yilawa-ke amagama amadoda : esizweni sakwaJuda : nguKalebi indodana kaJefune.

Kwakukhona amadoda athile ayengcolisiwe yisidumbu somuntu , engenakulenza iphasika ngalolo suku; eza phambi kukaMose naphambi kuka- Aroni ngalowo muhla.

Wathatha amadoda ayishumi kuwo amalunga omuzi , wathi: Hlalani phansi lapha. Ahlala.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Ngalezo zinsuku amadoda ayishumi azo zonke izilimi zabezizwe ayakubamba umphetho womuntu wakwaJuda ngokuthi: Siyakuhamba nani, ngokuba sizwile ukuthi uNkulunkulu unani.

ngalolo suku lapho abalindi bendlu beyakuthuthumela , amadoda anamandla agobe , abasilikazi bayeke ngokuba beyingcosana , abalunguza emafasiteleni bafiphazelwe,
