Uma bona kuwe -- ngokuba akukho muntu ongoniyo -- bese wubathukuthelela wena , ubanikele esitheni , ukuze ababathumbayo babamukisele ezweni lesitha, likude noma liseduze,

Kodwa kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli uSolomoni akakhiphanga izigqila ngokuba bona babe ngamadoda empi , nezinceku zakhe , nezikhulu zakhe , nezinduna zakhe, nabaphathi bezinqola zakhe, nabamahhashi bakhe.

Yisiphi isizwe emhlabeni esinjengabantu bakho u -Israyeli, uNkulunkulu aya ukuzihlengela bona babe ngabantu bakhe , ukukwenzela igama ngezinto ezinkulu nezesabekayo ngokuxosha abezizwe ebusweni babantu bakho owabahlenga eGibithe, na?

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

Yilaba azalelwa bona eJerusalema : ngoShimeya, noShobabi, noNathani, noSolomoni, bebane, kuBati Shuwa indodakazi ka-Amiyeli,

Bona nabantw ana babo babephethe amasango endlu kaJehova , indlu yetende, belinda.

Bona bangabezwe; ngalokho bakhuluma okwezwe, nezwe liyabezwa.

Kepha lezo zinto zabehlela bona kube yisibonelo; kulotshelwe ukusiyala thina, osekufikile kithi ukugcina kwezikhathi.

Kepha lokho kwaba yizibonelo kithi , size singafisi okubi, njengalokho bona babekufisa.

Ngokuba bona uqobo balanda ngathi ukuthi kwaba njani ukungena kwethu kinina nokuthi naphendu kela kanjani kuNkulunkulu , nishiya izithombe , ukuba nikhonze uNkulunkulu ophilayo oweqiniso,

Kwakukhona ukulwa okunzima namaFilisti zonke izinsuku zikaSawule ; lapho uSawule ebona iqhawe nendoda enamandla wazithathela bona.

Zonke izinduna zempi , zona nabantu bazo , sezizwile ukuthi inkosi yaseBabele imenzile uGedaliya umbusi ezweni , zaya kuGedaliya eMispa : u- Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya, noJohanani indodana kaKhareya, noSeraya indodana kaThanihumeti waseNethofa , noJahazaniya indodana yomMahakha, bona nabantu babo.

Abantu abangamashumi ayisihlanu bamadodana abaprofethi baya bema khashana maqondana nabo; bona bobabili bema ngaseJordani.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengokwenza kwendlu ka -Ahabi, ngokuba bona babengabamelulekayo emva kokufa kukayise , kwaba ngukuchithwa kwakhe.

Makungangeni muntu endlini kaJehova ngaphandle kwabapristi namaLevi akhonzayo; bona bangangena , ngokuba bangcwel e; kepha bonke abantu bayakugcina izimfanelo zikaJehova.

Wabeka izinduna zempi phezu kwabantu , wazibuthela bona esigcawini ngasesangweni lomuzi, wakhuluma kahle kubo, wathi:

bayinikeza ezandleni zababewenza umsebenzi ababeyiphethe indlu kaJehova; bona bayinika ababesebenza umsebenzi wasendlini kaJehova ukuba bayilungise, bayiqinise indlu;

mawuzwe wena ezulwini , uthethelele isono sabantu bakho u -Israyeli, ubabuyisele ezweni owalinika bona nawoyise.

Uma bona kuwe ngokuba akukho muntu ongoniyo bese wubathukuthelela wena, ubanikele esitheni , ukuze ababathumbayo babamukis ele ezweni lesitha, likude noma liseduze,

bebathembisa inkululeko , kanti bona uqobo lwabo bayizigqila zokubhubha; ngokuba lokho umuntu ahlulwa yikho uyisigqila sakho.

Ngokuba asinasibindi sokuzilinganisa nokuzifanisa nabathile babo abazincomayo. Kodwa bona, nxa bezilinganisa ngezingqobo zabo , bezifanisa nezingqobo zabo, kaba namqondo.

Linakuvumelana kuni ithempeli likaNkulunkulu nezithombe na ? Ngokuba thina siyithempeli likaNkulunkulu ophilayo, njengokuba washo uNkulunkulu ukuthi: Ngiyakuhlala phakathi kwabo, ngihambe phakathi kwabo; ngiyakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami.

ukuze kuthi ngalesi sikhathi inala yenu isize bona ekusweleni kwabo ukuba nenala yabo isize nina ekusweleni kwenu, kube khona ukulingana,

OJonathani no -Ahimahasi babehlala e -Eni Rogeli ; incekukazi yayizinge ibatshela; bona bahamba bayibikela inkosi uDavide ukuba bangabonwa behamba beya emzini.

masinikwe abantu abayisikhombisa bamadodana akhe , sibaphanyeke kuJehova eGibeya likaSawule , okhethiweyo kaJehova . Inkosi yathi : Ngiyakuninika bona.

Yisiphi isizwe nesisodwa emhlabeni esinjengabantu bakho u -Israyeli, uNkulunkulu ayakuzihlengela bona ukuba babe ngabantu bakhe , azenzele igama, anenzele nina izinto ezinkulu, alenzele izwe lakini izinto ezesabekayo phambi kwabantu bakho owazihlengela bona eGibithe ezizweni nakubo onkulunkulu bazo, na?

Bhekani, nansi indodakazi yami , intombi, nesancinza sakhe ; ngiyakubakhipha bona manje , nibone, nenze kubo njengokuthanda kwenu ; kepha kulo muntu ningenzi ubuwula obunjalo.

Nabahluleli ababalalelanga, ngokuba baya baphinga nabanye onkulunkulu, babakhothamela; baphambuka masinyane endleleni abahamba ngayo oyise , belalela imiyalo kaJehova; bona abenzanga njalo. Isimo sesikhathi sabahluleli

Kepha kwathi ekufeni komahluleli babuyela emuva , bona kakhulu kunawoyise, ngokulandela abanye onkulunkulu ukuba ba bakhonze, babakhothamele; abayekanga izenzo zabo nendlela yabo yenkani.

Ngokuba benyuka nezinkomo zabo namatende abo, bafika njengesikhonyane ngobuningi; babengenakubalwa bona namakamela abo; bafika ezweni ukuba baliqede.

UJehova wathi kuGideyoni : Abantu base baningi ; behlisele ngasemanzini , ngikulingele bona khona; kuyakuthi lowo engizakusho ngaye kuwe ukuthi: Lo uzakuhamba nawe , yena aha mbe nawe ; nalowo engizakusho ngaye kuwe ukuthi: Lo akayikuhamba nawe, yena akayikuhamba.

Mabathuke bona , wena ubusise ; nxa bevuka , mabajabhe; kepha inceku yakho mayithokoze.

Abazidlayo bangimbela imigodi, bona abaphambene nomthetho wakho.

Ibusisiwe indoda emgodla wayo ugcwele bona ; abayikujabha lapho bekhuluma nezitha zabo esangweni.

Uma abantwana bakho begcina isivumelwano sam i nobufakazi bami engiyakubafundisa bona , khona abantwana babo bayakuhlal a esihlalweni sakho kuze kube phakade.

Yilesi esiyisizukulwane sabamfunayo ; bona abasinga ubuso bakho bangabantwana bakaJakobe. Sela

Yeka ubukhulu bomusa wakh o obagodlele wona abakwesabayo , owenzele bona ababalekela kuwe, phambi kwabantwana babantu.

Nguwe owabaxosha abezizwe ngesandla sakho , kepha bona wabatshala ; wazichitha izizwe, kepha bona wabandisa.

Izinyathelo zami bazibekele ugibe ; umphefumulo wami ugobile ; bembile igebe phambi kwami, kwakhalakathela bona kulo. Sela

Nokho bona njalo, abakholwanga yizimangaliso zakhe.

Yizwani, bazalwane bami abathandekayo . UNkulunkulu akakhethanga yini abampofu ezweni babe ngabacebileyo ekukholweni nezindlalifa zombuso awuthembisa bona abamthandayo na?

Obaba bona abasekho; thina sithwala ububi babo.

Ngakho uma uNkulunkulu ebanikile bona isipho njengathi esakholwa yiNkosi uJesu Kristu, ngingubani mina ukuba ngivimbele uNkulunkulu na?

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

Bona ekumukeni kwabo ePherge baya e -Antiyokiya lasePhisidiya, bangena esinagogeni ngosuku lwesabatha, bahlala phansi.

Bona-ke bethunyiwe nguMoya oNgcwele behlela eSelukiya ; basuka lapho , baya eKhupro ngomkhumbi.

Bona-ke babavuthululela uthuli lwezinyawo zabo, beza e-Ikoniyu.

Bona bathi : Kholwa yiNkosi uJesu , yikhona uzakusindiswa wena nendlu yakho.

Kepha uPawulu wathi kuzo : Basishayile phambi kwabantu singalahlwanga cala, thina singabantu abangamaRoma , basiphonsa etilongweni ; manje basikhipha ngasese na? Qhabo, akuze bona, basikhiphe.

Kepha abazalwane bamukisa oPawulu noSila masinyane ebusuku ukuba baye eBereya; bona sebefikile khona bangena esinagogeni labaJuda.

waqoqa bona kanye nezisebenzi ezinjalo, wathi: Madoda, niyazi ukuthi kulo msebenzi kuvela ingcebo yethu,

Safumana abafundi , sahlala khona izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ; bona bathi ngoMoya kuPawulu, angalubeki unyawo eJerusalema.

savalelisana, sangena emkhunjini, kepha bona babuyela emakhaya.

Mina ngase ngithi : Nkosi, bayazi bona ukuthi yimina engangibabopha ngibashaya emasinagogeni abakholwa nguwe;

Bona base beza kubapristi abakhulu nasemalungeni , bathi: Sizibophe ngesilokothelo sokuthi asiyikuzwa ukudla size simbulale uPawulu.

Ngakho-ke makwazeke kini ukuthi le nsindiso kaNkulunkulu ithunyelwe kwabezizwe; bona-ke bayakuzwa.

Bona sebezwile baphakamisa izwi kuNkulunkulu nganhliziyonye , bathi: Somandla, wena owenza izulu , nomhlaba, nolwandle, nakho konke okukukho,

Bona sebezwile bathukuthela, bafuna ukubabulala. Isiluleko sikaGamaliyeli

izwe elingabafan ele bona , behamba emahlane , nasezintabeni, nasemihumeni, nasemigedeni yomhlaba.

Ngokuba bona kambe basilaya izinsukwana njengokubona kwabo , kepha yena kube yinsizakalo, size sithole ukuhlanganyela ubungcwele bakhe.

futhi: Ngiyakubeka ithemba lami kuye , futhi: Bheka mina nabantwana uNkulunkulu anginike bona.

Ngokuba phela nathi sashunyayezwa ivangeli njengabo; kepha izwi abalizwayo alibasizanga bona , lokhu lingahlangananga nabezwayo ngokukholwa.

Uma-ke kwakukhona ukuphelela ngobupristi bukaLevi ngokuba isizwe samiselwa bona ngomthetho -- kwakusaswelekelani ukuba kuvele omunye umpristi ngokukaMelkisedeki engabizwa ngokokuma kuka-Aroni na?

Ngokuba yilesi esiyisivumelwano engiyakusenza nendlu ka -Israyeli emva kwalezo zinsuku , isho iNkosi : ngiyakufaka imithetho yami engqondweni yabo, ngiyilobe ezinhliziyweni zabo, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami.

Ngokuba bengakafiki abanye ababevela kuJakobe , wayedla nabezizwe ; kepha kuthe ukuba kufike bona , wamonyuka, wazahlukanisa nabo , esaba abokusoka.

bathi ukubona umusa engiwuphiweyo , oJakobe noKhefase noJohane , ababaziswa ngokuthi bayizinsika , banika mina noBarnaba isandla sokunene sokuhlangana ukuba thina siye kwabezizwe, kepha bona baye kwabasokayo,

Banishisekela ngokungekuhle, yebo, bafuna ukunivalela ngaphandle, ukuze nishisekele bona.

Ngokuba ngisho bona abasokayo nabo kabawugcini umthetho , kodwa bathanda ukuba nisoke, ukuze bazibonge ngenyama yenu.

bona bangabakwa -Israyeli, okungesabo isimo sobuntwana nenkazimulo , nezivumelwano, nokumiswa komthetho, nenkonzo, nezithembiso,

Uma wathi bangonkulunkulu bona eleza kubo izwi likaNkulunkulu -- nombhalo ungeqiwe --

UJesu washo lo mfanekiso kubo ; kepha bona abezwisisanga ukuba kuyini lokho akukhuluma kubo.

Kepha uJesu wayekhuluma ngokufa kwakhe, kepha bona babethi ukhuluma ngokulala ubuthongo.

Angisekho ezweni mina, basezweni bona, mina ngiza kuwe. Baba ongcwele, bagcine egameni lakho labo ongiphe bona, ukuze babe munye njengathi.

Lapho ngise nabo ezweni , ngabagcina egameni lakho labo ongiphe bona , ngabalonda; akakho kubo owalahleka, kuphela indodana yokulahlwa, ukuba kugcwaliseke umbhalo.

njengalokho uyiphile amandla phezu kwenyama yonke ukuba bonke oyiphe bona ibaphe ukuphila okuphakade.

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.

Ngibonakalisile igama lakho kubantu ongiphe bona kwabasezweni ; babengabakho, wangipha bona; baligcinile izwi lakho.

Ngiyabakhulekela bona ; angikhulekeli izwe kepha labo ongiphe bona , ngokuba bengabakho.

Ubuzelani kimi na ? Buza kulabo abezwile lokho engakukhuluma kubo ; bheka, bona bayakwazi engakushoyo.

Base bekhipha uJesu kuKayafase , bemyisa endlini yokwa hlulela; kwakusekuseni. Kepha bona kabangenanga enqabeni ukuba bangangcoli kodwa babe nokudla iphasika.

ukuba ligcwaliseke izwi alishiloyo lokuthi : Kulabo ongiphe bona angilahlekelwanga namunye.

Ngalokho ningofakazi , nivuma imisebenzi yawoyihlo ; ngokuba bona bababulala, nina-ke niyawakha amathuna abo.

Nalabo abayishumi nesishiyagalombili owawela phezu kwabo umbhoshongo waseSilowama, wababulala, nithi bona babe namacala kunabantu bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema na?

Kwathi ekungeneni kwakhe ngesabatha endlini yomunye waba yizikhulu kubaFarisi ukuba adle ukudla, bona uqobo babemqaphele.

Kepha u-Abrahama wathi: BanoMose nabaprofethi; mabezwe bona.

Kepha bona kabaqondanga lutho lwalokho ; lelo zwi lalifihlakele kubo , abakuqondanga obekushiwo.

UJesu wathi kuyo: Bona! Ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile.

Bethi-ke bona uphakathi kwabahambisana nabo bahamba ibanga losuku , bamfuna phakathi kwezihlobo nabazana nabo.

Kwathi livela izwi , uJesu wafunyanwa eyedwa . Bathula bona , ngaleyo mihla kabatshelanga muntu neyodwa yalezo zinto abazibonileyo. Ukuphulukiswa komfana onesithuthwane (Math. 17:14; Mark. 9:14)

Kwathi bona sebezwile ukuthi uyaphila nokuthi uboniwe nguye , abaze bakholwa.

Kepha bona bephuma bashumayela ezindawe ni zonke , iNkosi isebenza nabo, iqinisa izwi ngezibonakaliso ezilandelayo.

Waphendula-ke, wathi kubo: Nina niphiwe ukwazi izimfihlakalo zombuso wezulu; kodwa bona kabakuphiwanga.

babopha imithwalo enz ima, bayibeke emahlombe abantu ; kepha bona abavumi ukuyifukula ngomunwe wabo.

wathi: Ngonile ukuba ngikhaphele igazi elingenacala . Bona bathi : Kuyini lokho kithi na? Zibonele wena.

Futhi nxa nizila ukudla , ninganyukumali njengabazenzisi ; ngokuba bona banyakamisa ubuso babo, ukuze babonakale kubantu ukuthi bazilile . Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewamukele umvuzo wabo.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bazala , bachuma, banda, baba baningi ; izwe lagcwala bona. Abakwa-Israyeli baphenduka izigqila

Aniyikwenza lutho olungaphandle kwami ; onkulunkulu besiliva nawonkulunkulu begolide aniyikuzenzela bona.

UMose yedwa uyakusondela kuJehova, kepha bona abayikusondela; nabantu abayikukhuphuka naye.

Uyakufaka emphongolweni ubufakazi engikunika bona.

Uyakusibeka isihlalo somusa phezu komphongolo , ufake e mphongolweni ubufakazi engiyakukunika bona.

abaJuda banquma bamukela , bona nenzalo yabo , nabo bonke ababezihlanganisa nabo , ukuthi bayakugcina lezo zinsuku zombili njengokubhalwa kwazo nanjengesikhathi sazo esinqunyiweyo iminyaka yonke, bangaphuthi,

ukuba aqinise lezo zinsuku zePhurimi ngezikhathi zazo ezinqunyiweyo njengokuzimisa kukaMoridekayi umJuda no-Esteri inkosikazi, nanjengalokho bezimisele bona nenzalo yabo ngendaba yokuzila ukudla nokukhala kwabo.

ngokuthi bonke abangafiki ngezinsuku ezintathu ngokwesiluleko sezikhulu namalunga kuyakudliwa yonke impahla yabo , bona bahlukaniswe nebandla labathunjwa.

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

Mina uqobo ngibayalile abangcwele bami , yebo, ngibizele amaqhawe ami okwentukuthelo yami, bona labo abami abajabula ngokuziqhenya.

laba bantu engizenzele bona ukuba bashumayele udumo lwami.

Owesifazane angakhohlwa umntwana wakhe oncelay o ukuba angabi namusa kuyo indodana yesizalo sakhe na? Yebo, bona bangakhohlwa, kodwa mina anginakukukhohlwa wena.

bona ngiyakubanika endlini yam i naphakathi kwezingange zam i isikhumbuzo negama elihl e kunamadodana namadodakazi ; ngiyakubanika igama eliphakade, elingayikunqunywa.

bona abamicibisholo yabo ibukhali , nayo yonke iminsalo yabo insaliwe ; izinyawo zamahhashi abo ziyakubalwa njengensengetsha , namasondo abo njengesivunguvungu.

Yizwani izwi likaJehov a nina enithuthumela ngezwi lakhe . Abafowenu abanizondayo, abanixosha ngenxa yegama lami, bashilo bathi: Makazidumise uJehova ukuba sibone intokozo yenu, kepha bona bayakujabha.

Bheka, mina, nabantwana uJehova anginike bona , siyizibonakaliso nezimangaliso kwa -Israyeli, ezivela kuJehova Sebawoti ohlezi entabeni yaseSiyoni.

ngenxa yobukhulu owamnika bona , bonke abantu , nezizwe, nezilimi bathuthumela, besaba phambi kwakhe ; athanda ukumbulala wambulala , athanda ukumyeka wamyeka ; athanda ukumphakamisa wamphakamisa, athanda ukumthobisa wamthobisa.

UJehova wayesebulinda ububi , wasehlisela bona , ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu ulungile emisebenzini yakhe yonke ayenzayo , kepha asililalelanga izwi lakhe.

Bhekani, ngilibekile izwe phambi kwenu ; ngenani nilidle izwe uJehova alifungela oyihlo , o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe ukulinika bona nenzalo yabo emva kwabo.

Kodwa emizini yalaba bantu uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika bona babe yifa lakho awuyikusindisa lutho oluphefumulayo,

baya bakhonza abanye onkulunkulu , bakhuleka kubo , onkulunkulu abangabaziyo, angabahlukaniselanga bona,

Kuyakuthi lapho sebehlelwe ngokubi nezinhlupheko eziningi , leli hubo lifakaze phambi kwabo njengofak azi, ngokuba aliyikukhohlakala emilonyeni yenzalo yabo , lokhu ngiyazi imicabango yabo abayicabangayo namanje , ngingakabangenisi ezweni engalifungela bona.

Wamyala uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni , wathi: Qina, ume isibindi, ngokuba wena uyakubangenisa abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ezweni engalifungela bona ; mina ngiyakuba nawe.

ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho unguNkulunkulu onomusa ; akayikukushiya, angakubhubhisi, angakhohlwa isivumelwano sawoyihlo asifungela bona.

Futhi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakuthuma iminyovu phakathi kwazo, kuze kuthi bona abaseleyo abazithukusayo baphele phambi kwakho.

U-Isaka waphendula , wathi ku -Esawu: Bheka, ngimmisile abe yinkosi yakho, nabafowabo bonke ngimnike bona babe yizinceku zakhe ; ngimphasile ngamabele nangewayini; ngingase ngikwenzeleni wena ndodana yami na?

Waphakamisa amehlo akhe , wabona abesifazane nabantwana , wathi: Bangobani laba onabo na ? Wathi: Bangabantwana uNkulunkulu ayiphe bona inceku yakho ngomusa.

Kuphela ngalokho bayasivumela laba bantu ukuhlala nathi , sibe yisizwe sinye, ukuthi bonke abesilisa bakithi basokwe, njengalokho bona besokiwe.

Kwathi emva kwalezo zinto umphathizitsha wenkosi yaseGibithe nomphekizinkwa wayo bona enkosini yabo, inkosi yaseGibithe.

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

UJosefa wabazi abafowabo, kepha bona abamazanga.

KuJosefa kwazalelwa ezwe ni laseGibithe oManase no -Efrayimi, amzalela bona u-Asenati indodakazi kaPotifera umpristi wase-Oni.

Bona abayikuphakamisa isaga nomfanekiso wemfumbe ngaye , bathi: Wo kuyena owandisa okungesikho okwakh e koze kube nini na ? -- nozisindisa ngezibambiso!

Isimo sobuso bawo, bona babungubuso engabubona ngasemfuleni iKhebari, ukubonakala kwabo , yebo, bona uqobo lwabo ; yilelo nalelo lahamba ngokuqonda kobuso balo.

Bathukile kuwe uyise nonina, bacindezela abezizwe phakathi kwakho, bona phakathi kwakho izintandane nabafelokazi.

Bona bambula ubunqunu bakhe , bathatha amadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe; yena bambulala ngenkemba , waba yisaga phakathi kwabesifazane , lapho kwenziwa ukwahlulelwa kuye.

IJavani noThubali noMesheke bona babe ngabathengi bakho , benana abantu boqobo nezitsha zethusi ngempahla yakho.

Bona babe ngabathengi bakho ngempahla enhle , ngezambatho eziluhlaza nezifekethisiweyo, nangezindwangu ezimibalabala , nangezintambo ezalukiweyo eziqinileyo, ezindaweni zakho zokuthengelana.

Wathi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, ngiyakuthuma kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, izizwe ezambukayo ezingihlubukile; bona nawoyise baphambukile kimi kuze kube namuhla.

Bona-ke, noma bezwa noma benganaki, ngokuba bayindlu ehlubukayo , bayakwazi nokho ukuthi kade ekhona umprofethi phakathi kwabo.

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bhekani, ngimelene nabelusi, ngiyakuzibiza izimvu zami esandleni sabo , ngenze ukuba bangabe besazalusa izimvu , abelusi bangabe besazibonelela bona, ngophule izimvu zami emlonyeni wabo, zingabi ngukudla kwabo.

Ndodana yomuntu, profetha ngabelusi bakwa -Israyeli; profetha uthi kubo , kubelusi: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Wo kubelusi bakwa -Israyeli abazibonelela bona! Abelusi bebengayikuzalusa izimvu na?

Bayakuhlala ez weni engilinike inceku yami uJakobe , ababehlala kulo oyihlo; bayakuhlala kulo, bona nabantwana babo , nabantwana babantwana babo kuze kube phakade, uDavide inceku yami abe yisikhulu sabo kuze kube phakade.

Itabernakele lami liyakuba phezu kwabo; ngiyakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami.

Ndodana yomuntu , ngikwenze umlindi kuyo indlu yakwa -Israyeli; ngalokho yizwa izwi emlonyeni wami, ungixwayisele bona.

kungekubantu abaningi abankulumo yabo ilukhuni nolimi lwabo lungaqondakali, ongawezwa amazwi abo . Impela uma bengikuthume kubo , bona babeyakukuzwa.

Kuyakuthi nilahlukanise ngenkatho , libe yifa lenu nelabafokazi abagogobala phakathi kwenu nabazele abantwana phakathi kwenu . Bona bayakuba njengabokuzalwa ekhaya phakathi kwab antwana bakwa -Israyeli, badle kanye nani ifa phakathi kwezizwe zakwa-Israyeli.

Ngiyakuzitshalela yena ezweni , ngihawukele ongahawukelwanga, ngithi kwababengesibo abantu bami : Ningabantu bami , bona bathi : UnguNkulunkulu wethu.

Bona bazibekela amakhosi engavelanga kimi ; bamisa izikhulu , ngingazi; isiliva labo nego lide labo bakwenza kwaba yizithombe zabo , ukuze banqunywe.

Noma bekhulisa abantwana babo , nokho ngiyakubaphuca bona kungasali muntu; yebo, maye kubo, lapho ngimuka kubo!

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