Babulala, kwaba yilowo nalowo umuntu wakhe ; ama-Aramu abaleka , u- Israyeli wawaxosha ; uBeni Hadadi inkosi yama -Aramu waphunyuka ngehhashi kanye nabamahhashi.

Inkosi yakwa -Israyeli yaphuma , yagenca amahhashi nezinqola , yabulala ama-Aramu ngokuceka okukhulu.

Umprofethi wasondela enkosini yakwa -Israyeli, wathi kuyo : Hamba uziqinise, uqaphele, ubone oyakukwenza, ngokuba emva komnyaka inkosi yama-Aramu iyakwenyuka ukulwa nawe.

Inkosi yakwa -Israyeli, noJehoshafati, inkosi yakwaJuda , base benyukela eRamoti Gileyadi.

Inkosi yakwa-Israyeli yathi ezincekwini zayo: Niyazi ukuthi iRamoti Gileyadi lingelethu na? Kepha siyathula, asilikhiphi esandleni senkosi yase-Aramu.

Inkosi yakwa -Israyeli yathi kuJehoshafati : Ngiyakuziguqula, ngingene ekulweni, kepha wena wembathe izambatho zakho . Yayisiziguqula inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, yangena ekulweni.

Kepha inkosi yase -Aramu ibiyalile izinduna ezingamashumi amathathu nambili zezinqola zayo ngokuthi : Ningalwi namuntu , omncane noma omkhulu, kuphela nenkosi yakwa-Israyeli yodwa.

Kepha umuntu othile wansala umnsalo wakhe ngokungaze leli nje , wayihlaba inkosi yakwa-Israyeli enhlanganisweni yebhantshi lensimbi , yathi kumshayeli: Phenduka, ungikhiphe empini, ngokuba ngikhutshaziwe.

Ukulwa kwaqina ngalolo suku ; inkosi yasekelwa enqoleni yayo malungana nama-Aramu, yafa ngakusihlwa; igazi lenxeba laphalazeka phansi enqoleni.

Yafa-ke inkosi, yayiswa eSamariya; bayimbela inkosi eSamariya.

Wayesethi: Ake ukhulume kuSolomoni inkosi, ngokuba akayikukufulathela wena, ukuba anginike u-Abishagi waseShunemi abe ngumkami.

Wayesehamba uBati Sheba, waya enkosini uSolomoni ukuba amkhulumele u-Adoniya kuyo. Inkosi yasukuma ukumhlangabeza, yamkhothamela, yahlala esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi , yambekela unina wenkosi isihlalo , wahlala ngakwesokunene sayo.

Wayesethi kuyo : Nginesicelo sinye nje esincane kuwe ; ungangifulatheli. Inkosi yathi kuye: Cela-ke, mame ngokuba angiyikukufulathela.

Inkosi uSolomoni yayisifunga uJehova ngokuthi : UNkulunkulu makenze njalo kimi , enezele futhi , uma u-Adoniya engakhulumanga leli zwi libe ngelokufa kwakhe.

Inkosi uSolomoni yayisithumela ngesandla sikaBenaya indodana kaJehoyada: wamsukela; wafa.

Inkosi yathi ku -Abiyathara umpristi : Hamba uye e -Anathoti emasimini akho, lokhu ungowokufa , kepha angiyikukubulala namuhla , ngokuba wawuwuthwala umphongolo weNkosi uJehova phambi kukaDavide ubaba , wahlupheka ngakho konke ubaba ahlupheka ngakho.

UBenaya wafika etendeni likaJehova , wathi kuye : Isho kanje inkosi , ithi: Phuma. Wathi: Qha, ngiyakufela lapha . UBenaya wabuyisela enkosini izwi lokuthi: Washo njalo uJowabe, wangiphendula kanjalo.

Inkosi yathi kuye: Yenza njengokusho kwakhe, umsukele, ummbele, ukuba ususe kimi nakuyo indlu kababa igazi elachithwa ngeze nguJowabe.

Inkosi yayisimbeka uBenaya indodana kaJehoyada phezu kwempi esikhundleni sakhe ; uSadoki umpristi inkosi yambeka esikhundleni sika - Abiyathara.

Kwathi ngasekupheleni kweminyaka emithathu izinceku ezimbili zikaShimeyi zabaleka, zaya ku-Akhishi indodana kaMahakha inkosi yaseGati. UShimeyi watshelwa ukuthi: Bheka, izinceku zakho ziseGati.

Inkosi yayisithuma yambiza uShimeyi , yathi kuye : Angithi ngikufungisile uJehova, ngaqinisa kuwe ukuthi: Mhla uphuma uye nomaphi, yazisisa ukuthi uyakufa nokufa, na? Wathi kimi: Izwi engilizwileyo lihle.

Inkosi yathi futhi kuShimeyi: Wena uyazi konke okubi okwaziwa yinhliziyo yakho, owakwenza kuDavide ubaba; ngalokho uJehova uyakubuyisela ububi bakho ekhanda lakho.

Kepha inkosi uSolomoni iyakubusiswa , nesihlalo sobukhosi sikaDavide siyakuqiniswa phambi kukaJehova kuze kube phakade.

USolomoni wahlangana ngobuhlobo noFaro inkosi yaseGibithe , wathatha indodakazi kaFaro , wayingenisa emzini kaDavide , waze waqeda ukwakha indlu yakhe, nendlu kaJehova, nogange lwaseJerusalema nxazonke.

Yathi inkosi: Ngiletheleni inkemba. Baletha inkemba enkosini.

Yathi-ke inkosi : Mdabuleni kabili umntwana ophilayo , ninike omunye inxenye nomunye inxenye.

Yayisithatha inkosi, yathi: Mnikeni lowo umntwana ophilayo, ningamdabuli nakanye; nguye ongunina.

U-Israyeli wonke we zwa leso sahlulelo esenziwe yinkosi ; bayesaba inkosi, ngokuba babona ukuthi ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu kwakukuyo ekwahluleleni kwayo.

Inkosi yaya eGibeyoni ukuhlabela khona , ngokuba kwakuyindawo ephakemeyo enkulu ; uSolomoni wanikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa eyinkulungwane e-altare lelo.

Manje, Jehova Nkulunkulu wami, ubekile inceku yakho inkosi esikhundleni sikaDavide ubaba ; ngingumntwana omncane nje , angikwazi nokungena nokuphuma.

Inkosi uSolomoni yabusa u-Israyeli wonke.

noGeberi indodana ka -Uri ezweni lakwaGileyadi , izwe likaSihoni inkosi yama-Amori no -Ogi inkosi yaseBashani , ngokuba kwakuyinduna eyodwa kulelo zwe.

Izinduna lezo zafunela ukudla inkosi uSolomoni nabo bonke abasondela etafuleni lenkosi uSolomoni , kwaba yileyo naleyo ngenyanga yayo ; kwakungasweleki lutho.

USolomoni wayenezinduna eziyishumi nambili phezu kwabo bonke abakwa- Israyeli ezazifunela inkosi nabendlu yayo ukudla ; yileyo naleyo yayifuna ukudla inyanga inye ngomnyaka.

UHiramu inkosi yaseTire wathuma izinceku zakhe kuSolomoni , ngokuba wayezwile ukuthi ugcotshi we abe yinkosi esikhundleni sikayise , ngokuba uHiramu wayengumngane kaDavide njalo.

Inkosi uSolomoni yabiza izisebenzi kubo bonke abakwa -Israyeli; izisebenzi zaba ngabantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu.

Inkosi yayala , baqopha amatshe amakhulu , amatshe anenani elikhulu , ukuba babeke isisekelo sendlu ngamatshe abaziweyo.

Indlu inkosi uSolomoni eya yakhela uJehova , ubude bayo babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha, nobubanzi bayo babungezingamashumi amabili, nokuphakama kwayo kwakuyizingalo ezingamashumi amathathu.

Inkosi uSolomoni yathumela yamlanda uHiramu eTire.

UHiramu wayenza leyo micengezi , namafosholo, nezitsha. UHiramu wayeseqeda ukwenza wonke umsebenzi abewenzela inkosi uSolomoni endlini kaNkulunkulu:

namakhanzi, namafosholo, nezitsha; zonke lezo zinto uHiramu azenzela inkosi uSolomoni endlini kaJehova zaziyithusi eliphucuziweyo.

Inkosi yazibumba ethafeni laseJordani emhlabathini webumba p hakathi kweSukoti neSaretani.

Sekuphelile wonke umsebenzi inkosi uSolomoni eyawenzayo endlini kaJehova, uSolomoni wangenisa izinto uyise uDavide ay ezingcwelisile, isiliva, negolide, nezitsha, wakubeka engcebeni yendlu kaJehova.

Inkosi yayisiphenduka, yalibusisa lonke ibandla lakwa -Israyeli, lonke ibandla lakwa-Israyeli, lalimi.

Inkosi uSolomoni nayo yonke inhlangano yakwa -Israyeli eyayihlangene kuyo babe nayo phambi komphongolo , behlaba izimvu nezinkabi ezingenakulotshwa, zingenakubalwa ngobuningi bazo.

Inkosi naye wonke u -Israyeli enayo banikela ngomhlatshelo phambi kukaJehova.

USolomoni wanikela kube ngumhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula, owanikela ngawo kuJehova , izinkunzi eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amabili . Inkosi nabo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahlambulula-ke indlu kaJehova.

Ngalona lolo suku inkosi yangcwelisa ingaphakathi legceke elalinga phambi kwendlu kaJehova , ngokuba wanikela lapho ngomnikelo wokushiswa , nangomnikelo wempuphu, nangamanoni eminikelo yokuthula, lokhu i-altare lethusi elaliphambi kukaJehova lalilincane ukuba liwamukele umnikelo wokushiswa, nomnikelo wempuphu, namanoni eminikelo yokuthula.

Ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili wabamukisa abantu , bayibusisa inkosi, baya ematendeni abo bejabula , bethokoza ngenhliziyo ngakho konke okuhle uJehova akwenzile kuDavide inceku yakhe naku-Israyeli abantu bakhe.

uHiramu inkosi yaseTire owayemsizile uSolomoni ngemisedari nangemisayipuresi nangegolide njengokufisa kwakhe konke wanikwa yinkosi uSolomoni imizi engamashumi amabili ezweni laseGalile.

uFaro inkosi yaseGibithe wayenyukile wathatha iGezeri , walishisa ngomlilo, wabulala amaKhanani ayehlezi emzini , walinika umkaSolomoni indodakazi yakhe, libe yisipho sakhe.

Inkosi uSolomoni yenza imikhumbi e -Esiyoni Geberi elingasecel eni kwe - Eloti ogwini loLwandle Olubomvu ezweni lakwa-Edomi.

Yilaba abayizinhloko zamaqhawe uDavide ayenazo , zibambelela kuye ngamandla ebukhosini bakhe kanye naye wonke u-Israyeli ukumbeka inkosi njengezwi likaJehova ngo-Israyeli.

Ngokuba imihla ngemihla bafika kuDavide ukumsiza , kwaze kwaba yimpi enkulu njengempi kaNkulunkulu. Umumo wabantu abambeka uDavide inkosi eHebroni

Kuyo in xenye yesizwe sakwaManase yizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili, ezabizwa ngamagama ukuba zize zimbeke uDavide inkosi.

Onke lawo madoda empi , angahlela impi , afika eHebroni ngezinhliziyo ezipheleleyo ukubeka uDavide inkosi kwa -Israyeli; nabo bonke abaseleyo bakwa-Israyeli babenhliziyonye ukumbeka uDavide inkosi.

UHiramu inkosi yaseTire wathuma izithunywa kuDavide , nemisedari, nabakhi, nababazi ukuba bamakhele indlu.

Kwathi lapho umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova usungena emzini kaDavide, uMikhali indodakazi kaSawule walunguza efasiteleni , wabona inkosi uDavide isina, idlala; wayidelela enhliziyweni yakhe.

Nalezo inkosi uDavide yayizingcwelisela uJehova kanye nesiliva negolide alisusa ezizweni zonke : ku-Edomi, nakuMowabi, nakubantwana bakwa - Amoni, nakumaFilisti, nakuma-Amaleki.

UDavide washaya noHadarezeri, inkosi yaseSoba ngaseHamati, ekuhambeni kwakhe ukuqinisa isandla sakhe ngasemfuleni u-Ewufrathe.

Ama-Aramu aseDamaseku esefika ukumsiza uHadarezeri inkosi yaseSoba , uDavide wabulala kuma -Aramu abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili.

Lapho uThowu inkosi yaseHamati ezwa ukuthi uDavide ushayile yonke impi kaHadarezeri inkosi yaseSoba,

Kwathi emva kwalokho uNahashi inkosi yabantwana bakwa -Amoni wafa , indodana yakhe yaba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Bahamba, bamtshela uDavide ngalawo madoda . Wathuma ukuwahlangabeza, ngokuba ayenamahloni kakhulu lawo madoda . Yathi inkosi: Hlalani eJeriko, zize zihlume izilevu zenu, bese nibuya.

U-Orinani wathi kuDavide : Zithathele yona; inkosi yami, inkosi, mayenze okuhle emehlweni ayo ; bheka, ngiyakupha izinkabi zibe ngezeminikelo yokushiswa, nezibhulo zibe yizinkuni , nokolweni abe ngumnikelo wempuphu; ngikunika konke.

Inkosi uDavide yathi ku -Orinani: Qha, ngiyakukuthenga nokukuthenga ngemali epheleleyo , ngokuba angizukumthathela uJehova okungokwakho , nginikele ngomnikelo wokushiswa ngengikuthole ngeze.

UJowabe wathi: UJehova makenezele kubantu bakhe, kuphindwe kayikhulu phezu kwalokhu abayikho; kepha, nkosi yami, nkosi, abasizo izinceku zenkosi yami bonke na ? Inkosi yami ifunelani le nto na ? Iyakuba yicala ngani ku - Israyeli na?

Nalabo benza inkatho njengabafowabo , amadodana ka -Aroni, ebusweni bukaDavide inkosi, noSadoki, no-Ahimeleki, nezinhloko zawoyise babapristi namaLevi, inhloko yawoyise njengomfowabo omncane.

Yena uShelomoti nabafowabo babephethe yonke ingcebo yezinto ezingcwele ezangcweliswa nguDavide inkosi , nezinhloko zawoyise , nezinduna zezinkulungwane nezamakhulu, nezinduna zempi.

Nampa abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ngomumo wabo , izinhloko zawoyise, nezinduna zezinkulungwane nezamakhulu , nezinduna zabo ezazikhonza inkosi kukho konke okwezigaba , ezazingena, ziphuma inyanga ngenyanga ezinyangeni zonke zomnyaka ; kuleso naleso sigaba zazikhona izinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nane.

UDavide wabutha zonke izikhulu zakwa -Israyeli, izikhulu zezizwe , nezinduna zezigaba ezazikhonza inkosi , nezinduna zezinkulungwane nezamakhulu, nezinduna zayo yonke imfuyo yenkosi neyamadodana ayo , nezinduna zendlunkulu , namaqhawe, nawo onke am adoda anamandla eJerusalema.

UDavide inkosi wayesema ngezinyawo , wathi: Ngizweni, bafowethu nabantu bakwethu : mina-ke, kwakusenhliziyweni yami ukwakhela umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova indlu yokuphumula neyesena belo sikaNkulunkulu wethu; ngangizilungiselele ukwakha.

Kodwa uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wangikhetha endlini yonke kababa ukuba ngibe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade; ngokuba ukhethile uJuda ukuba abe ngumbusi , nasendlini kaJuda indlu kababa , naphakathi kwamadodana kababa wangenamela mina ukuba angibeke inkosi kwa - Israyeli wonke,

UDavide inkosi wathi kulo lonke ibandla : USolomoni indodana yami , oyedwa uNkulunkulu amkhethileyo , usengumfana, usathambile, nomsebenzi mkhulu, ngokuba ithempeli alisilo elomuntu kepha ngelikaJehova uNkulunkulu.

badla, baphuza phambi kukaJehova ngalolo suku ngokuthokoza okukhulu . Bambeka uSolomoni indodana kaDavide inkosi ngokwesibili, bamgcobela uJehova ukuba abe ngumholi, uSadoki abe ngumpristi.

Zonke izikhulu , namaqhawe, nawo onke amadodana enkosi uDavid e bazithoba phansi kukaSolomoni inkosi.

UJehova wamkhulisa uSolomoni kakhulu emehlweni abo bonke abakwa - Israyeli, wamnika udumo lobukhosi olungazange lube khona nakuyiphi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli phambi kwakhe. Ukufa kukaDavide

Izenzo zikaDavide inkosi , ezokuqala nezokugcina , bheka, zilotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zikaSamuweli umboni , nasencwadini yezindaba zikaNathani umprofethi, nasencwadini yezindaba zikaGadi umboni,

Abantu bajabula ngokunikela kwabo ngenhliziyo , ngokuba banikela ngenhliziyo epheleleyo kuJehova; naye uDavide inkosi wajabula ngokujabula okukhulu. Ukubonga nokukhuleka kukaDavide

owesithathu ngu -Abisalomu indodana kaMahakha indodakazi kaTalimayi inkosi yaseGeshuri; owesine ngu-Adoniya indodana kaHagiti;

Labo abalotshwe ngamagama bafika ezinsukwini zikaHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda, bachitha amatende abo namaMehuni afunyanwa khona , bawaqothula kuze kube namuhla , bahlala esikhundleni sabo , ngokuba kwakukhona idlelo lezimvu zabo lapho.

Bonke labo babhalwa ngezi zukulwane zabo emihleni kaJothamu inkosi yakwaJuda nasemihleni kaJerobowamu inkosi yakwa-Israyeli.

UNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli wavusa umoya kaPhuli inkosi yase -Asiriya nomoya kaThiligati Philineseri inkosi yase -Asiriya, wabathumba: abakwaRubeni, nabakwaGadi, nenxenye yesizwe sakwaManase , wabayisa eHala, naseHabori, naseHara, nasemfuleni iGozani kuze kube namuhla.

noBera indodana yakhe , owathunjwa nguThiligati Phileneseri inkosi yase - Asiriya; wayeyisikhulu sabakwaRubeni.

Baziseni bonke , nithande abazalwane; mesabeni uNkulunkulu , niyazise inkosi.

uma seninambithile nezwa ukuthi iNkosi imnene. Ukwakhiwa kwendlu yokomoya

njengalokho uSara wamlalela u -Abrahama embiza ngokuthi inkosi , eningabantwana bakhe , uma nenza okuhle , ningesatshiswa nokukodwa okwesabisayo.

Ngiyambonga owangenzela amandla , uKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu , ngokuba wathi ngikholekile, engimisa enkonzweni,

Kuyo iNkosi yaphakade en gabhubhiyo, engenakubonwa, uNkulunkulu yedwa, makube ludumo nenkazimulo kuze kube phakade naphakade. Amen. UPawulu uyala uThimothewu ukuba alwele iqiniso levangeli

kuThimothewu, umntanami ngesiminya ekukholweni: Makube kuwe umusa, nesihawu, nokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba nakuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu. UPawulu ukhumbuza uThimothewu ukuba alwe nesifundiso samanga e-Efesu

ayakukubonakalisa ngezikhathi zakhe uSomandla obongekayo, oyedwa, iNkosi yamakhosi, uMbusi wababusi,

Kumbe siyayivusela iNkosi ulaka na? Kanti sinamandla kunayo na? Inkululeko yobuKristu; uthando

Futhi asingayilingi iNkosi njengabanye kubo bayilinga , babhujiswa yizinyoka.

Ngokuba mina ngakwamukela eNkosini lokho , nenganinika khona, ukuthi: INkosi uJesu, ngalobo busuku akhashelwa ngabo wathabatha isinkwa,

Emthethweni kulotshiwe ukuthi : Ngabantu bezinye izilimi , nangezindebe zabezinye izizw e ngiyakukhuluma kulesi sizwe ; kepha noma kunjalo abayikungizwa, kusho iNkosi.

Bazalwane, ngiyaqinisa ngokubongwa enginakho n genxa yenu kuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu, ngiyafa mihla yonke.

Uma umuntu engayithandi iNkosi, makabe ngoqalekisiweyo. Woza, Nkosi!

Ngokuba angizukunibona manje nxa ngidlula; ngokuba ngithemba ukuhlala kini isikhathi, uma iNkosi ivuma.

Uthembekile uNkulunkulu , okungaye nabizelwa ekuhlanganyeleni neNdodana yakhe uJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu. Ukuphikisana ebandleni laseKorinte

okungaziwa namunye wababusi balesi sikhathi ; ngokuba uma bebekwazi , babengayikuyibethela esiphambanweni iNkosi yenkazimulo;

nokuthi: INkosi iyazazi izizindlo zabahlakaniphileyo ukuthi ziyize.

kodwa ngizakuza kini masinyane , uma iNkosi ivuma, ukuze ngazi, angisho amazwi alaba abakhukhumeleyo kepha amandla abo.

Ngakho-ke ningahluleli lutho singakafiki isikhathi , ingakafiki iNkosi eyakukuveza ekukhanyeni okufihlakeleyo kobumnyama, iveze obala izizindlo zezinhliziyo; lapho-ke yilowo nalowo uyakuthola ukubongwa kuNkulunkulu. Ukukhukhumala kwabaseKorinte nokuhlupheka kwabaphostoli

kepha uNkulunkulu wayivusa iNkosi, nathi uyakusivusa ngamandla akhe.

Kepha kwabanye kusho mina , akusho iNkosi , ukuthi uma umzalwane enomfazi ongakholwayo, yena-ke evuma ukuhlala naye, angamlahli;

Kuphela nje ukuba yilowo nalowo ahambe njengokuba iNkosi imabele , kube yilowo njengokuba uNkulunkulu embizile. Ngiyala kanjalo emabandleni onke.

Kepha ngifuna ukuba ningabi nakukhathaz eka. Ongaganiwe ukhathalela okweNkosi ukuba angayithokozisa kanjani iNkosi.

Angikhululekile na? Angisiye umphostoli na ? Angimbonanga uJesu iNkosi yethu na? Nina anisiwo umsebenzi wami eNkosini na?

Ngokunjalo iNkosi imisile ukuba abamemezela ivangeli baphile ngevangeli.

iNkosi ininike ukwanda nokuchichima othandweni , omumye komunye nakubo bonke, njengokuba sinjalo kinina,

ngokuba iNkosi uqobo iyakwehla ezulwini ngezwi lenhlokomo, ngephimbo lengelosi enkulu nangecilongo likaNkulun kulu, nabafileyo kuKristu bayakuvuka kuqala,

khona thina , esisekhona sisasele siyakuhlwithwa kanye nabo emafwini , sihlangabeze iNkosi emoyeni; kanjalo-ke siyakuba nayo iNkosi njalo.

Ngokuba niyayazi imiyalo esaninika yona ngayo iNkosi uJesu.

ukuba kungabikho noyedwa omonayo, aphambe umfowabo ngento, ngokuba iNkosi ingumphindiseli kukho konke lokho , njengokuba sanitshela phambili, saqinisa.

Ngiyanifungisa iNkosi ukuba le ncwadi ifundwe kubo bonke abazalwane.

USawule wathi kuyisekazi : Usitshele impela ukuthi izimbongolo zitholiwe . Kepha indaba yombuso akhuluma ngayo uSamuweli akamtshelanga yona. Inkosi ibekwa eMispa

kepha namuhla nimlahlile uNkulunkulu wenu , yena owanisindisa ezingozini zenu zonke nasezinsizini zenu , nishilo nathi : Hhayi, kepha beka inkosi phezu kwethu . Ngalokho yimani phambi kukaJehova ngezizwe zenu nangezinkulungwane zenu.

USamuweli wathi kubo bonke abantu : Mbhekeni amkhethileyo uJehova ukuthi akakho onjengaye kub antu bonke. Base bekhamuluka abantu bonke , bathi: Mayime njalo inkosi.

USamuweli wathi kuye wonke u-Israyeli: Bhekani, ngilalele izwi lenu kukho konke enikushiloyo kimi, ngibekile inkosi phezu kwenu.

Kepha lapho nabona uNahashi inkosi yabantwana bakwa -Amoni ephuma ukulwa nani , nathi kimi : Hhayi, kepha masibuswe yinkosi , ingani uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu wayeyinkosi yenu.

Manje nansi inkosi eniyikhethileyo neniyicelileyo ; bhekani, uJehova ubekile inkosi phezu kwenu.

Angithi kuyisikhathi sokuvuna ukolweni namuhla na ? Ngiyakukhuleka kuJehova ukuba athume ukuduma nemvula , nazi, nibone ukuthi okubi kwenu enikwenzile emehlweni kaJehova ngokucela inkosi kukhulu.

Bonke abantu bathi kuSamuweli : Khulekela izinceku zakho kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukuba singafi, ngokuba senezele kuzo zonke izono zethu ububi bokuzicelela inkosi.

Manje bhekani , inkosi iyahamba phambi kwenu ; mina sengimdala , ngiyimpunga; nanka amadodana ami a kini; ngihambile phambi kwenu kwasebusheni bami kuze kube namuhla.

Ngiyazisola ukuthi ngibekile uSawule inkosi , ngokuba ubuyile ekungilandeleni, kafezanga amazwi ami . USamuweli wathukuthela, wakhala kuJehova ubusuku bonke.

USawule wathi kuSamuweli: Ngililalele izwi likaJehova, ngihambile indlela uJehova owangithuma yona , ngimlethile u -Agagi inkosi yama -Amaleki, ngachitha impela ama-Amaleki.

USamuweli wayesethi: Lethani kimi u-Agagi inkosi yama-Amaleki. U-Agagi wafika kuye esasile. U-Agagi wathi: Impela umunyu wokufa udlulile.

USamuweli akaphindanga ukumbona uSawule waze wafa , kepha uSamuweli wamkhalela uSawule ; uJehova wazisola ukuthi wayembekile uSawule inkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli.

Wabamba u-Agagi inkosi yama -Amaleki esaphilile, wachitha impela bonke abantu ngosiko lwenkemba.

UJehova wathi kuSamuweli : Uyakumkhalela kuze kube nini na ? Ngokuba ngimlahlile ukuba angabe esaba yinkosi phezu kuka -Israyeli. Gcwalisa uphondo lwakho ngamafutha , uhambe; ngiyakukuthuma kuJese waseBetlehema, ngokuba ngizibonele inkosi phakathi kwamadodana akhe.

Mayisho inkosi yethu ukuba izinceku eziphambi kwakho zifune umuntu owazi ukubetha ihabhu ; kuyakuthi lapho ufikelwa ngumoya omubi ovela kuNkulunkulu, abethe ngesandla sakhe, kube kuhle kuwe.

Abantu bakwa -Israyeli bathi : Nimbonile lowo muntu o wenyukile na ? Ngokuba wenyukile ukuyakweyisa u-Israyeli; kuyakuthi umuntu ombulalayo, inkosi imcebise ngengcebo enkulu , imnike indodakazi yayo , iyenze indlu kayise ibe ngekhululekile kwa-Israyeli.

Yayisithi inkosi: Buza wena ukuthi iyindodana kabani le nsizwa.

USawule wayaleza izinceku zakhe ngokuthi : Khulumani noDavide ngasese, nithi: Bheka, inkosi yenamile ngawe, nazo zonke izinceku zayo ziyakuthanda; ngalokho yiba ngumkhwenyana wenkosi.

USawule wathi : Niyakusho kanje kuDavide , nithi: Inkosi ayifuni ilobolo , kuphela amajwabu ayikhulu amaFilisti ukuba kuphindiswe ezitheni zenkosi . USawule wacabanga ukumwisa uDavide ngesandla samaFilisti.

Kwathi ekufikeni kwabo , uDavide esebuya ekubulaleni umFilisti , abesifazane baphuma emizini yonke yakwa -Israyeli, behlabelela besina , ukuba bamhlangabeze uSawule inkosi ngezigubhu , nangokuthokoza, nangezinkenenezo.

UJonathani wakhuluma okuhle ngoDavide kuSawule uyise , wathi kuye : Inkosi mayingayoni inceku yayo uDavide, ngokuba akakonanga, nemisebenzi yakhe kuwe ilungile kakhulu;

UDavide wacasha masinyane endle ; isethwasile inyanga , inkosi yahlala ekudleni ukuba idle.

Inkosi yahlala esihlalweni sayo njengakwezinye izikhathi , isihlalo esingasodongeni; uJonathani wema , u-Abineri wahlala ngaseceleni kukaSawule; kepha indawo kaDavide yayiyize.

Wayesesuka uDavide, wabaleka ngalolo suku ngokwesaba uSawule , waya ku-Akhishi inkosi yaseGati.

Izinceku zika -Akhishi zathi kuye : Lo akasiye uDavide , inkosi yezwe , na? Abavumelananga yini ngaye omunye nomunye , besina bethi : USawule ubulele izinkulungwane zakhe , kepha uDavide izinkulungwane zakhe eziyishumi, na?

UDavide wabeka lawo mazwi enhliziyweni yakhe , wamesaba kakhulu u - Akhishi inkosi yaseGati.

UDavide wathi ku-Ahimeleki umpristi: Inkosi ingiyalezile udaba, yathi kimi: Makungazi muntu ngalolu daba engikuthuma ngalo nengikuyale ngalo . Izinsizwa zami ngizazisile indawo ethile.

Inkosi yayisithumela ukubiza u -Ahimeleki umpristi, indodana ka-Ahithubi, nendlu yonke kayise, abapristi ababeseNobi; beza bonke enkosini.

U-Ahimeleki waphendula inkosi , wathi: Ngubani kuzo zonke izinceku zakho othembekile njengoDavide, umkhwenyana wenkosi, nenduna yabalindi bakho, nodumileyo endlini yakho, na?

Ngiqale namuhla yini ukumbuzela kuJehova na? Makube kude nami; inkosi mayingabeki cala encekwini yayo , nakuyo yonke indlu kaba ba, ngokuba inceku yakho ayazi lutho lwayo yonke le ndaba, oluncane noma olukhulu.

Inkosi yayisithi : Uyakufa nokufa , Ahimeleki, wena nayo yonke indlu kayihlo.

Inkosi yathi kuzo izigijimi ezazimi ngakuyo : Sondelani, nibulale abapristi bakaJehova, ngokuba nesandla sabo sinaye uDavide nangokuba bazi ukuthi uDavide wabaleka , bengakwambulelanga kimi . Kepha izinceku zenkosi azivumanga ukwelula isandla sazo ukuba zisukele abapristi bakaJehova.

Inkosi yathi kuDowegi : Sondela wena , usukele abapristi . UDowegi wabakwa-Edomi wasondela , wabasukela abapristi , wabulala ngalolo suku abantu abangamashumi ayisishiyagalombili nanhlanu , abembethe ingubo yamahlombe yelineni.

Bheka, namuhla amehlo akho abonile ukuthi uJehova wayekunikele esandleni sami emhumeni ; abanye bathi mangikubulale , kepha ngakuhawukela, ngathi: Angiyikwelulela isandla sami kuyo inkosi yami , ngokuba ingogcotshiweyo kaJehova.

Inkosi yakwa -Israyeli iphumele ukulandela bani na ? Uxosha bani na ? Uxosha inja efileyo, intwakumba eyodwa nje.

Wathi kubantu bakhe: Makube kude nami , Jehova, ukuba ngenze okunjalo kuyo inkosi yami, ogcotshiweyo kaJehova, ngelulele isandla sami kuye, lokhu engogcotshiweyo kaJehova.

Kodwa enye yezinsizwa yamtshela u -Abigayili umkaNabali , yathi: Bheka, uDavide wathuma izithunywa zive la ehlane ukuba zibingelele inkosi yethu , kepha yazithukuthelela.

Ngalokho yazi, ubone ukuthi uyakwenzani, ngokuba okubi sekunqunyelwe inkosi yethu nendlu yayo yonke , lokhu engumuntu omubi kangaka , ukuze umuntu angekhulume naye.

Inkosi yami mayinganakekeli lowo muntu omubi uNabali , ngokuba unjengegama lakhe, unjalo yena; nguNabali igama lakhe, nobuwula bukuye; kepha mina ncekukazi yakho angizibonanga izinsizwa zenkosi yami owazithumayo.

Ngalokho, nkosi, kuphila kuka Jehova nokuphila komphefumulo wakho , njengokuba uJehova ekuvimbele ukungena ecaleni legazi nokuzisindisa ngesandla sakho, ngalokho-ke mazibe njengoNabali izitha zakho nabayifunela inkosi yami ububi.

Manje-ke, lesi sipho esilethwa yincekukazi yakho enkos ini yami , masinikwe izinsizwa ezilandela inkosi yami.

Ake uthethelele icala lencekukazi yakho , ngokuba uJehova uyakuyenzela nokuyenzela inkosi yami indlu eqinileyo impela , lokhu inkosi yami ilwa izimpi zikaJehova; ububi abuyikufunyanwa kuwe zonke izinsuku zakho.

akuyikuba yisikhubekiso kuwe, kungabi nesanya enhliziyweni yenkosi yami ukuthi uchithile igazi ngeze nokuthi inkosi yami izisindisile ; kepha lapho uJehova eseyenzele inkosi yami okuhle, khumbula incekukazi yakho.

UDavide wabiza abantu no -Abineri indodana kaNeri , ethi: Awusabeli, Abineri, na? U-Abineri wayesesabela ethi: Ungubani wena obiza inkosi na?

UDavide wathi ku -Abineri: Awusiye umuntu okungekho onjengawe kwa - Israyeli na ? Awulindanga ngani inkosi yakho , inkosi? Ngokuba kwafika omunye wabantu ukuyobulala inkosi yakho, inkosi.

Akukuhle okwenzileyo . Kuphila kukaJehova , nimelwe ukuf a, ngokuba anilindanga inkosi yenu , ogcotshiweyo kaJehova . Manje bhekani ukuthi umkhonto wenkosi uphi nesigubhu samanzi esasingasekhanda lakhe.

Wathi: Inkosi yami iyixoshelani inceku yayo na ? Ngokuba ngenzeni na ? Ngububi buni obusesandleni sami na?

Ngalokho mayizwe inkosi yami , inkosi, amazwi enceku yayo . Uma nguJehova okuncokoloza ngami , makamukele umnikelo , kepha uma kungabantwana babantu , mabaqalekiswe phambi kukaJehova , ngokuba bangixoshile namuhla ukuba ngingazihlanganisi nefa likaJehova , bethi: Hamba ukhonze abanye onkulunkulu.

Ngalokho igazi lami malingaweli emhlabathini ngikude noJehova, ngokuba inkosi yakwa -Israyeli iphumele ukufuna intwakumba eyodwa , njengalokhu kuzingelwa intendele ezintabeni.

Wayesesuka uDavide , wawela, yena nabantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha ababe naye, waya ku-Akhishi indodana kaMahoki, inkosi yaseGati.

Inkosi yayisithi kuye: Ungesabi; ubonani na? Owesifazane wathi kuSawule: Ngibona unkulunkulu ephuma emhlabathini.

Zase zithi izikhulu zamaFilisti : Ayini lawa maHeberu na ? U-Akhishi wathi kuzo izikhulu zamaFilisti : Akusiye uDavide inceku kaSawule inkosi yakw a- Israyeli okade enami kulezi zinsuku nakule minyaka na ? Angifumananga lutho kuye selokhu ahlubuka weza kimi kuze kube namuhla.

Kepha izikhulu zamaFilisti zamthukuthelela; izikhulu zamaFilisti zathi kuye: Buyisa lowo muntu ukuba abuyele endaweni yakhe om mise kuyo, angehleli nathi empini, funa abe yisitha sethu empini , ngokuba lona ubeyakuyigculisa ngani inkosi yakhe kungengamakhanda alawo madoda na?

USamuweli wabatshela abantu abacela kuye inkosi onke amazwi kaJehova.

Kepha abantu bala ukulalela izwi likaSamuweli , bathi: Hhayi, sifuna ukuba kube khona inkosi phezu kwethu,

ukuze nathi sibe njengezizwe zonke , inkosi yethu isahlulele , iphume phambi kwethu, ilwe izimpi zethu.

UJehova wathi kuSamuweli : Lalela izwi labo , ubanike inkosi. USamuweli wathi kubantu bakwa -Israyeli: Hambani niye , kube yilowo nalowo emzini wakini.

Amadodana akhe ayengahambi ngezindlela zakhe , kepha aphambukela inzuzo embi, athengwa ngemivuzo, aphendukezela izahlulelo. Abakwa-Israyeli bafuna inkosi

athi kuye: Bheka, usumdala, amadodana akho awahambi ngezindlela zakho; sibekele inkosi ukuba isahlulele njengezizwe zonke.

Kepha leyo nto yaba mbi emehlweni kaSamuweli , lapho bethi: Siphe inkosi ukuba isahlulele. USamuweli wayesekhuleka kuJehova.

Wayeseyikhipha indodana yenkosi, wayifaka umqhele, wayinika ubufakazi, bayibeka inkosi, bayigcoba; bashaya ihlombe, bathi: Mana njalo, nkosi.

wabuka, bheka, inkosi yayimi ngasensikeni njengomthetho , izikhulu nabamacilongo bengasenkosini ; bonke abantu bezwe bathokoza , bakhalisa amacilongo. U-Athaliya wayeseklebhula izingubo zakhe, wamemeza ngokuthi: Ngugobe! Ngugobe!

Wayesethatha izinduna zamakhulu , namaKhari, nabalindi, nabo bonke abantu bezwe ; bayehlisa inkosi endlini kaJehov a, baya endlini yenkosi ngendlela yesango labalindi. Yahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi.

Inkosi yase -Asiriya yathuma oTharithani , noRabi Sarisi , noRabi Shake ukuba basuke eLakishi , baye enkosini uHezekiya eJerusalema , benempi enkulu. Benyuka bafika eJerusalema. Sebenyukile bafika, bema ngasemseleni wechibi lasenhla elingasendleleni yeNsimu yoMhlanzi.

Bayibiza inkosi , kwaphumela kubo u -Eliyakimi indodana kaHilikiya owayephezu kwendlu , noShebina umbhali , noJowa indodana ka -Asafa, umabhalana.

Wathi kubo uRabi Shake : Ake nisho kuHezekiya , nithi: Isho kanje inkosi enkulu, inkosi yase-Asiriya, ithi: Yithemba lini leli olethembayo na?

Manje bheka, wethemba udondolo lwalo mhlanga ofecekileyo oyiGibithe ; kepha uma umuntu ezimelela ngalo , luyakungena esandleni sakhe, lusihlabe; unjalo uFaro inkosi yaseGibithe kubo bonke abamethembayo.

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

Wayesema uRabi Shake , wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu ngolimi lwabaJuda , wakhuluma wathi: Zwanini amazwi enkosi enkulu, inkosi yase-Asiriya.

Isho kanje inkosi, ithi: Maningakhohliswa nguHezekiya, ngokuba akayikuba namandla okunophula esandleni sami;

Ningamlaleli uHezekiya , ngokuba inkosi yase-Asiriya isho kanje , ithi: Yenzani ukuthula nami, niphumele kimi, nidle, kube yilowo nalowo emvinini wakhe, kube yilowo nalowo emkhiwan eni wakhe , niphuze, kube yilowo nalowo amanzi omthombo wakhe,

Niyakukhuluma kanje kuHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda , nithi: UNkulunkulu wakho omethembayo makangakukhohlisi ngokuthi iJerusalema aliyikunikelwa esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya.

Iphi inkosi yaseHamati , nenkosi yase -Aripadi, nenkosi yomuzi waseSefarivayimi, naseHena, nase-Iva, na?

U-Isaya indodana ka -Amose wathumela kuHezekiya , wathi: Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Lokho okukhuleke kimi ngoSaneheribi inkosi yase-Asiriya ngikuzwile.

Ngesandla sezithunywa zakho uyijivazile inkosi , wathi: Ngobuningi bezinqola zami ngenyuke mina phezulu ezintabeni ngaphakathi kweLebanoni; ngigawula imisedari yalo emide nemisayipuresi yalo ekhethekileyo ngangena endaweni yalo yokugcina nasehlathini lalo eliminyeneyo.

Wayesesuka uSaneheribi inkosi yase -Asiriya, wahamba, wabuya, wahlala eNineve.

Mhlawumbe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakuzwa onke amazw i kaRabi Shake othunywe yinkosi yase-Asiriya, inkosi yakhe , ukweyisa uNkulunkulu ophilayo, asole amazwi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho awezwileyo ; ngalokho phakamisela insali esafunyanwayo umkhuleko wakho.

Kepha isizwile ngoTirahaka inkosi yaseKushe ukuthi : Bheka, uphumile ukulwa nawe, yabuye yathuma izithunywa kuHezekiya, yathi:

Wabuye wathuma kuye enye induna yamashumi ayisihlanu inamashumi ayisihlanu ayo . Yathatha yathi kuye : We muntu kaNkulunkulu , isho kanje inkosi, ithi: Shesha wehle.

Wayesethuma kuye induna yamashumi ayisihlanu inamashumi ayisihlanu ayo. Yakhuphukela kuye; bheka, wayehlezi esiqongweni sentaba. Yakhuluma kuye, yathi: We muntu kaNkulunkulu, inkosi ishilo ukuthi: Yehla.

Ngaleso sikhathi uMerodaki Baladani indodana kaBaladani , inkosi yaseBabele, wathuma abanezincwadi nesipho kuHezekiya , ngokuba wayezwile ukuthi uHezekiya kade egula.

Ngokuba uManase inkosi yakwaJuda enzile lezi zinengiso, enze kabi kunakho konke ukwenza kwama -Amori ayephambi kwakhe , wonisa noJuda ngezithombe zakhe,

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Bhekani, ngiyakwehlisela okubi phezu kwale ndawo naphezu kwabakhileyo kuyo, onke amazwi aleyo ncwadi eyifundile inkosi yakwaJuda,

Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili wenkosi uJosiya inkosi yathuma uShafani indodana ka -Asaliya kaMeshulamu , umbhali, endlini kaJehova, yathi:

Inkosi yathumela , babuthela kuyo onke amalunga akwaJuda nawaseJerusalema.

Ama-altare ayesophahleni lwekamelo eliphezulu lika -Ahazi, elenziwe ngamakhosi akwaJuda, nama-altare enziwe nguManase emagcekeni omabili endlu kaJehova inkosi yawadiliza , yasuka yagijima , yalahla uthuli emfudlaneni iKidroni.

Kwafika kuye incwadi iphuma ku -Eliya umprofethi , ithi: Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu kaDavide uyihlo , uthi: Ngokuba ungahambanga ngezindlela zikaJehoshafati uyihlo nangezindlela zika-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda,

Wayenabafowabo, amadodana kaJehoshafati : ngo-Azariya, noJehiyeli, noZakariya, no-Azariyahu, noMikayeli, noShefathiya; bonke labo babengamadodana kaJehoshafati inkosi yakwa-Israyeli.

Emihleni yakhe u -Edomi wahlubuka phansi kwes andla sakwaJuda , wazibekela inkosi.

Abakhileyo eJerusalema babeka u -Ahaziya indodana yakhe encane inkosi esikhundleni sakhe , ngokuba iviyo lababefike ekamu nabase -Arabiya lalibulele bonke abokuqala. Wayesebusa-ke u-Ahaziya indodana kaJehoramu inkosi yakwaJuda.

Futhi wahamba ngeziluleko zabo , lapho ehamba noJehoramu, indodana ka- Ahabi, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, ukulwa noHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu eRamoti Gileyadi; ama-Aramu amlimaza uJoramu.

Wabuyela ukwelashwa eJizreyeli ngenxa yaman xeba ayemlimaze wona eRama ekulweni kwakhe noHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu. U-Azariya indodana kaJehoramu, inkosi yakwaJuda, wehla ukumbona uJehoramu indodana ka - Ahabi eJizreyeli, ngokuba wayegula.

Base beyikhipha indodana yenkosi, wayifaka umqhele, wayinika ubufakazi, bayibeka inkosi; uJehoyada namadodana akhe bayigcoba bathi : Mana njalo, nkosi.

U-Athaliya esezwa ukumemeza kwabantu begijima beyidumisa inkosi, waya kubantu endlini kaJehova,

wabuka; bheka, inkosi yayimi ngasensikeni yayo ekungeneni , izikhulu nabamacilongo bengasenkosini ; bonke abantu bezwe bathokoza , bakhalisa amacilongo; abahlabeleli babetha izinto zokubethwa , bahola ukuhlabelela kwendumiso. U-Athaliya wayeseklebhula izingubo zakhe , wathi: Ngugobe! Ngugobe!

Wazithatha izinduna zamakhulu, nabakhulu, nababusi babantu, nabo bonke abantu bezwe, wayehlisa inkosi endlini kaJehova , bafika ngesango lasenhla endlini yenkosi, bayibeka inkosi esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso.

AmaLevi ayakuyizungeza inkosi nxazonke , yilowo nalowo abe nezikhali zakhe esandleni sakhe ; ongena endlini makabulawe ; yibani nenkosi ekungeneni kwayo nasekuphumeni kwayo.

Inkosi noJehoyada bayinika abenza umsebenzi wenkonzo endlini kaNkulunkulu, baqasha abakhi nababazi ukuvusa indlu kaJehova , nabasebenza ngensimbi nethusi ukuba baqinise indlu kaJehova.

Emva kokufa kukaJehoyada kwafika izikhulu zakwaJuda , zakhuleka enkosini; khona inkosi yazilalela.

UJowashi, inkosi, akakhumbulanga umusa uJehoyada amenzele wona , wabulala indodana yakhe . Ekufeni kwakhe wathi : UJehova makakubone lokhu, akuphindisele.

Inkosi yayisibiza uJehoyada inhloko , yathi kuye : Awubizanga ngani kumaLevi ukuba alethe kwaJuda naseJerusalema int ela kaMose inceku kaJehova neyebandla lika-Israyeli, ibe ngeyetende lobufakazi na?

Yayisikhuluma inkosi , benza umphongolo , bawubeka ngaphandle ngasesangweni lendlu kaJehova.

U-Amasiya, inkosi yakwaJuda , eselulekiwe wathumela kuJowashi indodana kaJehowahazi kaJehu , inkosi yakwa -Israyeli, wathi: Woza sibhekane ubuso nobuso.

UJowashi, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, wathumela ku-Amasiya inkosi yakwaJuda, wathi: Isihlahla somkhaya saseLebanoni sathumela kumsedari waseLebanoni, sathi: Nika indodana yami indodakazi yakho ibe ngu mkayo. Kwadlula isilo sasendle saseLebanoni, sanyathela phansi isihlahla somkhaya.

Wayesekhuphuka uJowashi inkosi yakwa -Israyeli; yena no-Amasiya inkosi yakwaJuda babhekana ubuso nobuso eBeti Shemeshi elingelakwaJuda.

UJowashi inkosi yakwa -Israyeli wambamba u -Amasiya inkosi yakwaJuda indodana kaJo washi kaJehowahazi eBeti Shemeshi , wamyisa eJerusalema, wadiliza ugange lwaseJerusalema kusukela eSangweni lakwa -Efrayimi kuze kube seSangweni Lasegumbini, izingalo ezingamakhulu amane.

U-Amasiya indodana kaJowashi , inkosi yakwaJuda , wayesekhona emva kokufa kukaJowashi indodana kaJehowahazi , inkosi yakwa -Israyeli, iminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu.

Kwathi lapho um buso usuqinisiwe kuye , wazibulala izinceku zakhe ezaziyibulele inkosi uyise.

Bonke abantu bakwaJuda bathatha u -Uziya owayeneminyaka eyishumi nesithupha, bambeka inkosi esikhundleni sikayise u-Amasiya.

Phansi kwezandl a zabo kwakukhona impi enamandla eyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu nezinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu ayisihlanu, eyalwa ngamandla amakhulu ukuba isize inkosi ezitheni.

Yena wakha i-Eloti, walibuyisela kuJuda, inkosi isilele koyise.

U-Uziya, inkosi, wayesengonochoko kwaze kwafika usuku lokufa kwakhe , wahlala endlini eyahlukanisiweyo, lokhu engonochoko, ngokuba wanqunywa endlini kaJehova . UJothamu indodana yakhe wayephezu kwendlu yenkosi , ahlulela abantu bezwe.

Ngaleso sikhathi inkosi u -Ahazi yathumela emakhosini ase -Asiriya ukuba ayisize.

Ngokuba uJehova wathobisa uJuda ngenxa ka -Ahazi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba wayedlubulundile kwaJuda , waphambuka nokuphambuka kuJehova.

Wayesefika kuye uThiligati Philineseri inkosi yase -Asiriya, wamhlupha, akamqinisanga.

Ngokuba u -Ahazi waphanga indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi neyezikhulu , wakunika inkosi yase-Asiriya, kepha akumsizanga.

UZikiri, iqhawe lakwa-Efrayimi, wabulala uMahaseya, indodana yenkosi, no- Azirikamu umbusi wendlu, no-Elkana owelama inkosi.

Base bengena phakathi kuHezekiya inkosi, bathi: Sihlambulule yonke indlu kaJehova, ne-altare leminikelo yokushiswa , kanye nazo zonke izinto zayo , netafula lezinkwa zokubukwa.

Zonke izinto inkosi u -Ahazi eyazilahla ekuphambukeni kwayo isabusa , sizilungisile, sazingcwelisa; bheka, seziphambi kwe-altare likaJehova.

UHezekiya inkosi wayesevuka ekuseni , wabutha izinduna zomuzi , wakhuphukela endlini kaJehova.

abapristi bazihlaba , benza umnikelo wesono ngegazi lazo e -altare ukuba benzele u -Israyeli won ke ukubuyisana , ngokuba inkosi yayaleza ukuba umnikelo wokushiswa nomnikelo wesono ube ngoka-Israyeli wonke.

UHezekiya wayala ukunikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa e-altare. Ngesikhathi sokuqala kom nikelo wokushiswa kwaqala nesihlabelelo sikaJehova , namacilongo, kanye nezinto zokubethwa zikaDavide inkosi yakwa-Israyeli.

Sebeqedile ukunikela , inkosi nabo bonke ababe nayo bakhothama , bakhuleka.

UHezekiya inkosi nezikhulu bawayala amaLevi ukumdumisa uJehova ngamazwi kaDavide nangaka-Asafa umboni . Badumisa ngokuthokoza , bakhothamisa amakhanda abo, bakhuleka.

UHiramu inkosi yaseTire waphendula ngokuloba, wakuthuma kuSolomoni, wathi: Ngokuba uJehova uyathanda abantu bakhe , ukubeke inkosi phezu kwabo.

UHiramu wathi futhi : Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli owenza izulu nomhlaba, nowanika uDavide inkosi indodana ehlakaniphileyo, enolwazi nengqondo, eyakwakhela uJehova indlu nendlu yombuso wakhe.

Ngalokho ukolweni, nebhali, namafutha, newayini, inkosi yami ekhulume ngakho, mayikuthume kuzo izinceku zayo.

Ngokuba inkosi yayelulekene nezikhulu zayo nebandla lonke laseJerusalema ukuba bagcine iphasika ngenyanga yesibili.

Ngokuba uHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda wayenikile ibandla izinkunzi eziyinkulungwane nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa zibe yiminikelo, nezikhulu zazinikile ibandla izinkunzi eziyinkulungwane nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyishumi; abapristi abaningi bazingcwelisa.

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

Usho kanje uSaneheribi , inkosi yase -Asiriya, uthi: Nethembani nina , njengokuba nihlala nivinjezelwe eJerusalema, na?

UHezekiya inkosi no -Isaya umprofethi , indodana ka -Amose, bakhuleka ngenxa yalokho, bakhala ngasezulwini.

UJehova wasindisa -ke uHezekiya nabakhileyo eJerusalema esandleni sikaSaneheribi inkosi yase-Asiriya nasesandleni sabo bonke abanye, wabahola nxazonke.

Abaningi baletha izipho kuJehova eJerusalema namagugu kuHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda , waze waphakanyiswa emehlweni abo bonke abezizwe ngasemuva. Ukugula nokufa kukaHezekiya

UShafani umbhali wayitshela inkosi , wathi: UHilikiya umpristi ung inike incwadi. UShafani wafunda kuyo phambi kwenkosi.

Kwathi lapho inkosi isizwile amazwi omthetho, yaziklebhula izingubo zayo.

Lapho sebemtshela uDavide lokho , wathumela ukuzihlangabeza , ngokuba ayenamahloni kakhulu lawo madoda . Yathi inkosi : Hlalani eJeriko , zize zihlume izilevu zenu, bese nibuya.

U-Uriya wathi kuDavide : Umphongolo, no-Israyeli, noJuda bahlezi emadokodweni; inkosi yami uJowabe nezinceku zenkosi yami zimisile endle ; mina-ke, pho, ngingene endlini yami, ngidle, ngiphuze, ngilale nomkami na? Kuphila kwakho nokuphila komphefumulo wakho, angiyikuyenza leyo nto.

U-Abisalomu waya enkosini, wathi: Bheka, inceku yakho inabagundi ; mayihambe inkosi nezinceku zayo nenceku yakho.

Inkosi yathi ku-Abisalomu: Qha, ndodana yami, masingahambi sonke, funa sikusinde. Wayicindezela; nokho ayivumanga ukuhamba, kodwa yambusisa.

U-Abisalomu wayesethi : Uma kunjalo , makahambe nathi umfowethu u - Amnoni. Inkosi yathi: Uyakuhambelani nawe na?

Inkosi yayisisuka , yaklebhula izingubo zayo , yalala emhlabathini, nazo zonke izinceku zema lapho, izingubo zazo ziklebhukile.

UJonadaba indodana kaShimeya umfowabo kaDavide waphendula wathi : Inkosi yami mayingathi babulele izinsizwa zonke , amadodana enkosi, lokhu ngu-Amnoni yedwa ofileyo ; ngokuba lokho kwakunqunyiwe ngomlomo ka - Abisalomu kusukela kulolo suku aphoqa ngalo udadewabo uTamari.

Kwathi sezimukile, baphuma emthonjeni, baya bayitshela inkosi uDavide , bathi kuDavide : Sukani, nisheshe niwele amanzi , ngokuba u -Ahithofeli weluleke kanjalo ngani.

Wathi-ke umuntu kuJowabe : Noma bengiyakukhokhelwa izinhlamvu eziyinkulungwane zesiliva esandleni sami , nokho bengingayikuselulela isandla sami endodaneni yenkosi, ngokuba ezindlebeni zethu inkosi yakuyala wena no-Abishayi no-Ithayi ukuthi: Yilondeni insizwa u-Abisalomu.

U-Ahimahasi indodana kaSadoki wayesethi : Ake ngigijime , ngiyibikele inkosi ukuthi uJehova uyiphindisele ezitheni zayo.

UDavide wamukisa abantu , inxenye yesithathu iphansi kwesandla sikaJowabe, nenxenye yesithathu iphansi kwesandla sika -Abishayi indodana kaSeruya, umfowabo kaJowabe, nenxenye yesithathu iphansi kwesandla sika- Ithayi umGiti. Inkosi yathi kubantu: Nami ngiyakuphuma nokuphuma nani.

Wayesethi uJowabe kumKushe : Hamba, uyitshele inkosi okubonileyo . UmKushe wamkhothamela uJowabe, wagijima.

Umlindi wamemeza , wayitshela inkosi . Yathi inkosi : Uma eyedwa , unombiko emlonyeni wakhe. Wayelokhu esondela njalo.

Umlindi wayesebona omunye umuntu egijima ; umlindi wabiza umlindisango, wathi: Bheka, omunye umuntu ugijima eyedwa . Inkosi yathi: Naye uletha umbiko.

Umlindi wayesethi : Ngibona kungathi ukugijima kowokuqala kunjengokugijima kuka -Ahimahasi indodana kaSadoki . Yathi inkosi : Ngumuntu omuhle yena; uletha umbiko omuhle.

Wayesememeza u-Ahimahasi, wathi enkosini: Bayede! Wakhothama phambi kwenkosi ebhekise phansi ubuso bakhe , wathi: Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho , onikele abantu abaphakamisela isandla sabo enkosini yami, inkosi.

Yayisidabuka kakhulu inkosi , yakhuphukela ekamelweni elingaphezu kwesango, yakhala; isahamba yathi : Hhawu, ndodana yami Abisalomu , ndodana yami, ndodana yami Abisalomu ! Sengathi nga ngifile esikhundleni sakho, Abisalomu, ndodana yami, ndodana yami!

Yayisithi inkosi kubo : Okuhle emehlweni enu ngiyakukwenza . Inkosi yema ngaseceleni kwesango , bonke abantu baphuma ngamakhulu nangezinkulungwane.

Inkosi yabayaleza oJowabe no -Abishayi no-Ithayi, yathi: Anoyiphatha kahle insizwa ngenxa yami, ngisho u-Abisalomu. Bonke abantu bezwa, lapho inkosi iyaleza zonke izinduna ngo-Abisalomu.

Kwabikelwa uJowabe ukuthi: Bheka, inkosi iyakhala, imlilela u-Abisalomu.

U-Abisalomu esamgcoba ukuba abe phezu kwethu usefile empini . Manje nithuleleni, ningayibuyisi inkosi na? Ukubuyiswa kukaDavide

Inkosi uDavide yathumela kuSadoki naku -Abiyathara abapristi , yathi: Khulumani kumalunga akwaJuda , nithi: Kungani ukuba nibe ngabokugcina ukubuyisela inkosi endlini yayo , lokhu kufinyelele enkosini nasendlini yayo konke ukukhuluma kuka-Israyeli, na?

Ningabafowethu, niyithambo lami nenyama yami; ngalokho kungani ukuba nibe ngabokugcina ukuyibuyisa inkosi na?

Yayisibuya inkosi , yafika eJordani ; uJuda wafika eGiligali ukuba ayihlangabeze inkosi, ayiwelise inkosi iJordani.

UShimeyi indodana kaGera umBenjamini waseBahurimi washesha wehla nabantu bakwaJuda ukuyihlangabeza inkosi.

Wathi enkosini : Inkosi yami mayingangibaleli icala , futhi ungakhumbuli okubi okwenziwa yinceku yakho mhla inkosi yami , inkosi, iphuma eJerusalema, ukuba inkosi ikubeke enhliziyweni yayo.

Ukunqoba ngalolo suku kwaphenduka isililo kubantu bonke , ngokuba abantu bezwa kwathiwa ngalolo suku: Inkosi idabukile ngendodana yayo.

Ngokuba inceku yakho iyazi ukuthi yonile ; bheka, ngifikile namuhla ngingowokuqala wendlu yonke kaJosefa , ngehle ukuhlangabeza inkosi yami , inkosi.

Inkosi yayisithi kuShimeyi: Awuyikufa. Inkosi yafunga kuye. Ukuziphendulela kukaMefibosheti

Naye uMefibosheti indodana kaSawule wehla ukuhlangabeza inkosi ; wayengalungisanga izinyawo zakhe , engalungisanga nesil evu sakhe , engahlanzanga futhi izingubo zakhe , kwasukela osukwini inkosi eyamuka ngalo kwaze kwaba lusuku owabuya ngalo ngokuthula.

Kwathi esefike eJerusalema ukuyihlangabeza inkosi , inkosi yathi kuye : Awuhambanga ngani nami, Mefibosheti, na?

Ihlebile inceku yakho enkosini yami , inkosi, kepha inkosi yami , inkosi, injengengelosi kaNkulunkulu; ngalokho yenza okuhle emehlweni akho.

Ngokuba yonke indlu kababa yayinjengabantu abafileyo phambi kwenkosi yami, inkosi; kepha wayibeka inceku yakho phakathi kwabadla etafuleni lakho. Ngisenalungelo lini ukuba ngibuye ngikhale enkosini na?

Inkosi yathi kuye : Usakhulumelani ngezindaba zakho na ? Ngithi: Wena noSiba, yahlukaniselani izwe.

Wayesethi uMefibosheti enkosini : Makathathe konke , njengokuba inkosi yami, inkosi, isibuyele endlini yayo ngokuthula. UBarizilayi

UBarizilayi wayengumuntu omdala kakhulu , eneminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili; wayekade eyipha inkosi ukudla isahlezi eMahanayimi , ngokuba wayengumuntu omkhulu kakhulu.

Inkosi yathi kuBarizilayi: Wela nami wena , ngikondle kanye nami eJerusalema.

Namuhla ngineminyaka engamashumi ayisihiyagalombili ; ngingahlukanisa okuhle nokubi yini ? Inceku yakho ingezwa ekudlayo nekuphuzayo na ? Ngingabe ngisalizwa izwi lamadoda ahlabelelayo nabesifazane abahlabelelayo na ? Inceku yakho isezakuba ngumthwalo wenkosi yami , inkosi, ngani na?

Inceku yakho iyakusimze iwele nje iJordani nenkosi ; pho, inkosi iyakungivuzelani ngomvuzo ongaka na?

Mayibuyele emuva inceku yakho ukuba ngifele emzini wami ngasethuneni likababa nelikamame . Kepha bheka , inceku yakho uKimihamu mayiwele nenkosi yami, inkosi, wenze kuyo okuhle emehlweni akho.

Inkosi yathi : UKimihamu angawela nami , mina ngenze kuye okuhle emehlweni akho; konke okufunayo kimi ngiyakukwenzela khona.

Bonke abantu bawela iJordani, nenkosi yawela; inkosi yamanga uBarizilayi, yambusisa; wabuyela endaweni yakhe. Ukuphikisana kuka-Israyeli noJuda

Inkosi yamboza ubuso bayo, inkosi yakhala ngezwi elikhulu, yathi: Hhawu, ndodana yami Abisalomu, Abisalomu, ndodana yami, ndodana yami!

Yayisiwela inkosi, yaya eGiligali, noKimihamu wawela nayo; bonke abantu bakwaJuda bayiwelisa inkosi kanye nenxenye yabantu bakwa-Israyeli.

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?

Bonke abantu bakwaJuda baphendula abantu bakwa -Israyeli, bathi: Ngokuba inkosi iyisih lobo sethu impela ; kungani ukuba nithukuthele ngale nto na? Sike sadla ntoni engeyenkosi na? Isixoshisile ngamaxosho na?

Abantu bakwa-Israyeli baphendula abantu bakwaJuda, bathi: Sinezinxenye eziyishumi kunani enkosini , yebo, nakuDavide; nisideleleni na ? Izwi lethu lokubuyisa inkosi lalingesilo elokuqala na? Kepha amazwi abantu bakwaJuda ayelukhuni kunamazwi abantu bakwa-Israyeli.

Yayisisuka inkosi , yahlala esangweni . Kwathiwa kubo bonke abantu : Bhekani, inkosi ihlezi esangweni . Base befika abantu bonke phambi kwenkosi. Kepha ab akwa-Israyeli babebalekele , kwaba yilowo nalowo etendeni lakhe.

Bonke abantu babephikisana ezizweni zonke zakwa -Israyeli, bethi: Inkosi yasophula esandleni sezitha zethu , yasikhulula esandleni samaFilisti ; manje isibalekile ezweni, imbalekele u-Abisalomu.

UDavide wafika endlini yakhe eJerusalema ; inkosi yathatha abesifazane abayishumi, izancinza zayo, eyayibashiyile ukuba bayilinde indlu , yababeka endlini yokulindela , yabapha uk udla, kepha ayingenanga kubo . Base bevalelwe kwaze kwaba sosukwini lokufa kwabo, behlezi njengabafelokazi.

Yayisithi inkosi ku -Amasa: Ngibuthele abantu bakwaJuda ngezinsuku ezintathu, ube khona nawe.

Inkosi yayisibiza abaseGibeyoni , yakhuluma kubo , abaseGibeyoni babengesibo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, beyinsali yama -Amori; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babefungile kubo ; uSawule wafuna ukubabulala ngokushisekela kwakhe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli nabakwaJuda;

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

Kepha inkosi yamyeka uMefibosheti indodana kaJonathani kaSawule ngenxa yesifungo sikaJehova esasiphakathi kwabo , phakathi kukaDavide noJonathani indodana kaSawule.

Kepha inkosi yathatha amadodana kaRispa indodakazi ka -Aya ayewazalele uSawule, o-Arimoni noMefibosheti ; namadodana ayisihlanu kaMikhali indodakazi kaSawule ayewazalele u -Adriyeli indodana kaBarizilayi umMeholati;

Inkosi yathi kuJowabe induna yempi eyayinaye: Hamba ezizweni zonke zakwa-Israyeli kusukela kwaDani kuze kube seBeri Sheba , nibale abantu ukuba ngiwazi umumo wabantu.

U-Arawuna walunguza , wabona inkosi nezinceku zayo beza kuye ; u- Arawuna waphuma , wakhothama phambi kwenkosi , ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi.

Wathi u -Arawuna: Kungani uku ba inkosi yami , inkosi, ifikile encekwini yayo na ? UDavide wathi : Ukuba ngithenge kuwe isibuya , ngimakhele uJehova i-altare, ukuze lesi sifo sinqamuke kubantu.

Wayesethi u -Arawuna kuDavide : Inkosi yami , inkosi, mayithathe, inikele ngokuhle emehlweni ayo ; bheka, nazi izinkabi zomnikelo wokushiswa , nezibhulo, nezinto zokubophela izinkabi zibe yizinkuni;

konke, nkosi, u-Arawuna uyakunika inkosi. U-Arawuna wayesethi enkosini: UJehova uNkulunkulu wakho makakwamukele.

Inkosi yathi ku -Arawuna: Qha, ngiyakukuthenga nokukuthenga ngenani elithile; angiyikunikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova uNkulunkulu wami engeyesihle . UDavide wayesethenga isibuya nezinkabi ngamashekeli angamashumi ayisihlanu esiliva.

Wayesethi uJowabe enkosini : UJehova uNkulunkulu wakho makenezele kubantu kuphindwe kayikhulu phezu kwalokhu abayikho , kubonwe ngamehlo enkosi yami, inkosi; kepha inkosi yami, inkosi, yenamelelani le nto na?

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

UDavide wayesethuma izithunywa kubantu baseJabeshi Gileyadi , wathi kubo: Manibusiswe nguJehova , ngokuba nenzile lowo musa kuyo inkosi yenu, uSawule, nammbela.

Ngalokho maziqine izandla zenu , nibe nesibindi , ngokuba uSawule inkosi yenu ufile; indlu yakwaJuda ingigcobile ngibe yinkosi yayo.

wambeka inkosi kwaGileyadi , nakuma-Ashurimi, naseJizreyeli, nakwa- Efrayimi noBenjamini, nakwa-Israyeli wonke.

U-Abineri wayesethi kuDavide: Ngiyakusuka ngihambe ngiqoqele wonke u - Israyeli enkosini yami, inkosi, ukuba benze isivumelwano nawe nokuba ubuse phezu kwakho konke ekufisayo inhliziyo yakho . UDavide wammukisa u - Abineri, wahamba ngokuthula.

eyesibili yaba nguKileyabi ku -Abigayili umkaNabali waseKarmeli ; eyesithathu yayingu -Abisalomu indodana kaMahakha indodakazi kaTalimyi inkosi yaseGeshuri;

UDavide wathi kuJowabe nakubantu bonke ababe naye : Klebhulani izingubo zenu , nibhince indwangu yamasaka , nilile phambi kuka -Abineri. Inkosi uDavide yalandela uhlaka.

Bammbela u -Abineri eHebroni ; inkosi yadazuluka , yakhala ngasethuneni lika-Abineri; nabantu bonke bakhala.

Inkosi yamlilela u-Abineri, yathi: Afe u-Abineri njengokufa kwesiwula na?

Bonke abantu bakubona , kwaba kuhle emehlweni abo , njengalokho konke eyakwenza inkosi kwaba kuhle emehlweni abantu bonke.

Inkosi yathi ezincekwini zayo : Anazi yini ukuthi kufile umbusi nomuntu omkhulu kwa-Israyeli namuhla na?

Baliyisa ikhanda lika-Ishi Boshethi kuDavide eHebroni, bathi enkosini: Nanti ikhanda lika-Ishi Bosheti indodana kaSawule; isitha sakho ebesifuna ukuphila kwakho; uJehova uphindisele namuhla inkosi yami, inkosi, kuSawule nakuyo inzalo yakhe.

UHiramu inkosi yaseTire wathuma izithun ywa kuDavide , nemisedari, nababazi bemithi, nabakhi; bamakhela uDavide indlu.

Kwase kufika onke amalunga akwa -Israyeli enkosini eHebroni ; inkosi uDavide yenza isivumelwano nawo eHebroni phambi kukaJehova ; amgcoba uDavide abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli.

Inkosi nabantu bayo baya eJerusalema ukulwa namaJebusi ayakhe kulelo zwe; asho kuDavide, athi: Awuyikungena lapha; uyakususwa yizimpumputhe nezinyonga, ecabanga ukuthi uDavide angengene lapha.

Kwatshelwa inkosi uDavide ukuthi uJehova ubusisile indlu ka -Obede Edomi nakho konke okwakhe ngenxa yomphongolo kaNkulunkulu . UDavide wahamba wenyusa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu endlini ka -Obede Edomi , wawuyisa emzini kaDavide ngokujabula.

Kwathi umphongolo kaJehova ungena nje emzini kaDavide , uMikhali indodakazi kaSawule walunguza efasiteleni , wabona inkosi uDavide itshekula, isina phambi kukaJehova; wayidelela enhliziyweni yakhe.

Kwathi lapho inkosi ihlala endlini yayo , uJehova eseyiphumuzile ezitheni zayo zonke, nxazonke,

UDavide inkosi wayesengena , wahlala phambi kukaJehova , wathi: Ngingubani, Nkosi Jeh ova, nendlu yami iyini, ukuze ungilethe kuze kube lapha, na?

inkosi yathi kuNathani umprofethi : Bheka, mina ngihlala endlini yemisedari, kepha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uhlala phakathi kwezilenge.

Nalezo inkosi uDavide yazingcwelisela uJehova kanye nesiliva negolide eyayilingcwelisile livela ezizweni zonke eyayizahlulile:

e-Aramu, nakwaMowabi, nakubantwana bakwa -Amoni, nakumaFilisti, naku-Amaleki, nasempangweni kaHadadez eri indodana kaRehobe , inkosi yaseSoba.

UDavide wamshaya uHadadezeri indodana kaRehobe , inkosi yaseSoba , ekuhambeni kwakhe ukubuyisa umbuso wakhe ngasemfuleni.

Ama-Aramu aseDamaseku esefika ukumsiza uHadadezeri inkosi yaseSoba , uDavide wabulala abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili kuma-Aramu.

Emizini kaHadadezeri iBetha neBerothayi inkosi uDavide yathatha ithusi eliningi kakhulu.

Lapho uThoyi inkosi yaseHamati ezwa ukuthi uDavide u shayile yonke impi kaHadadezeri,

USiba wathi enkosini : Njengakho konke inkosi yami , inkosi, eyale ngakho inceku yayo, iyakwenze njalo inceku yakho. UMefibosheti uyakudla etafuleni lenkosi njengenye yamadodana enkosi.

Kwakukhona endlini kaSawule inceku egama layo linguSiba ; bambizela kuDavide; inkosi yathi kuye: UnguSiba na? Wathi: Inceku yakho inguye.

Inkosi yayisithi : Akusekho endlini kaSawule noyedwa engingamenzela umusa kaNkulunkulu na ? USiba wathi enkosini : UJonathani usenendodana elunyonga ngezinyawo.

Yathi inkosi kuye: Iphi na? USiba wathi enkosini: Bheka, isendlini kaMakiri indodana ka-Amiyeli eLo Debari.

Inkosi uDavide yayisithuma yamlanda endlini kaMakiri indodana ka-Amiyeli waseLo Debari.

Inkosi yayisimbiza uSiba inceku kaSawule , yathi kuye: Konke okukaSawule nokwendlu yakhe yonke ngikunike indodana yenkosi yakho.

Inkosi yabantwana bakwa -Amoni yath i kuzo izithunywa zikaJefta : Ngokuba u-Israyeli walithatha izwe lakithi ekukhuphukeni kwakhe eGibithe , kusukela e -Arinoni kuze kube seJaboki naseJordani , buyisani lawo mazwe ngokuthula.

u-Israyeli wathuma izithunyw a enkosini yakwa -Edomi, wathi: Ake ngidabule izwe lakho ; kepha inkosi yakwa -Edomi ayilalelanga ; nasenkosini yakwaMowabi wathuma kanjalo ; kepha ayivumanga; u-Israyeli wayesehlala eKadeshi.

U-Israyeli wayesethuma izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yama -Amori, inkosi yaseHeshiboni; u-Israyeli wathi kuye: Ake sidabule izwe lakho, siye endaweni yethu.

Pho, ungcono yini kunoBalaki indodana kaSipori , inkosi yakwaMowabi , na? Wake waphikisana no-Israyeli, wake walwa nabo na?

Kwathi ngalezo zinsuku kungekho inkosi kwa-Israyeli, kwakukhona umLevi othile owayegogobele ohlangothini olungasemuva kwezintaba zakwa - Efrayimi, owazithathela isancinza eBetlehema Juda.

Nalezi ziyizaga zikaSolomoni ezaphindwa ngamadoda kaHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda.

Njengokubanda kweqhwa ngosuku lokuvuna , sinjalo isithunywa esithembekileyo kosithumileyo, ngokuba siyahlumelela inkosi yaso.

Amazwi kaLemuweli, inkosi yaseMasa, awafundiswa ngunina.

Ngaleso sikhathi uHero de inkosi welula izandla ukuba ahluphe abathile bebandla.

UPetru esesangulukile wathi : Manje sengiyazi ngeqiniso ukuthi iNkosi ithumile ingelosi yayo , yangikhulula esandleni sikaHerode nakukho konke okubhekwe yisizwe sabaJuda.

Kusukela lapho bacela inkosi ; uNkulunkulu wabanika uSawule indodana kaKisi, umuntu wesizwe sakwaBenjamini, iminyaka engamashumi amane.

Ngokuba iNkosi isiyalezile kanjalo ukuthi : Ngikubekile ube ngukukhanya kwabezizwe, ube yinsindiso kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba.

ukuze abaseleyo babantu kanye nabezizwe bonke bayifune iNkosi, elibizwe phezu kwabo igama lami, isho iNkosi ekwenza lokhu,

Owesifazane othile ogama lakhe linguLidiya , engumthengisi wezibubende, wasemzini waseThiyathira, okhonza uNkulunkulu, walalela, iNkosi yayivula inhliziyo yakhe ukuba aqaphele okwakhulunywa nguPawulu.

uJasoni ubamukele; bonke laba benza okuphambene nezimiso zikaKesari , bethi kukhona enye inkosi, nguJesu.

INkosi yayisithi kuPawulu ngombono ebusuku : Ungesabi, kepha khuluma, ungathuli,

Ngakho kulawo madoda ayehamba nathi isikhathi sonke , lapho iNkosi uJesu ingena, iphuma phakathi kwethu,

Ngathi: Ngizakwenzani, Nkosi, na? INkosi yayisithi kimi : S ukuma, uye eDamaseku, uzakutshelwa khona konke okumiselweyo ukuba ukwenze.

Ngobusuku obu landelayo iNkosi yema ngakuye , yathi: Yima isibindi ; njengalokho ufakaze ngami eJerusalema , ngokunjalo umelwe ukufakaza naseRoma. Icebo labaJuda lokumbulala uPawulu

Kwathi sekudlule izinsuku ezithile , u-Agripha inkosi , noBernike behlela eKesariya ukuyobingelela uFestu.

Anginanto eqinisekileyo ngaye engingayilobela inkosi ; ngakho ngimlethile phambi kwenu , ikakhulu phambi kwakho, nkosi Agripha , ukuze kuthi sekuhloliwe, ngibe nakho engingakuloba.

Kepha mina ngathi : Ungubani, Nkosi, na? INkosi yathi: Mina nginguJesu omzingelayo.

Ngokuba inkosi engikhuluma kuyo ngesibindi iyazi ngalezi zinto, ngokuba angikholwa ukuthi kukhona utho lwalokhu olufihlekile kuyo ; ngokuba lokhu akwenziwanga engosini.

Inkosi yayisisukuma nombusi noBernike kanye nababehlezi nabo;

Ngokuba uDavide uthi ngaye : Ngayibona iNkosi phambi kwami njalo , ngokuba ingakwesokunene sami, ukuze nginganyakaziswa.

Ngokuba uDavide akenyukelanga ezulwini, kepha yena uthi : INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami,

Ngakho indlu yonke yakwa -Israyeli mayazi impela ukuthi uNkulunkulu umenzile iNkosi noKristu uJesu lo enambethela nina esiphambanweni. Ukuphenduka nokubhapathizwa kwaba yizinkulungwane ezintathu

Ngokuba isithembiso ngesenu nesabantwana benu , esabo bonke abakude , bonke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu eyakubabiza.

nayibulala iNkosi yokuphila ayivusayo uNkulunkulu kwabafileyo , esingofakazi bakho thina.

UMose kambe wathi : INkosi uNkulunkulu iyakunivusela umprofethi kubazalwane benu njengami , niyakumlalela kukho konke azakuk ukhuluma kini.

Amakhosi omhlaba aqhelile , nababusi bayihlanganyel e iNkosi noGcotshiweyo wayo.

wamkhipha kuzo zonke izinhlupheko zakhe , wamupha umusa nokuhlakanipha phambi kukaFaro inkosi yaseGibithe ; yena wammisa abe ngumbusi eGibithe nakuyo yonke indlu yakhe.

kwaze kwavela enye inkosi eGibithe ebingamazi uJosefa.

INkosi yayisithi kuye : Khumula izicathulo ezinyaweni zakho , ngokuba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.

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

Kwakukhona eDamaseku umfundi othile, igama lakhe lingu-Ananiya; iNkosi yathi kuye ngombono: Ananiya! Yena wathi: Ngikhona, Nkosi.

INkosi yayisithi kuye: Suka uye esitaladini esithiwa Siqondile, ufune endlini kaJuda umuntu ogama lakhe linguSawulu waseTarsu ; ngokuba bh eka, uyakhuleka;

INkosi yayisithi kuye : Hamba, ngokuba lo uyisitsha sami esikhethiweyo sokuphatha igama lami phambi kwabezizwe, namakhosi, nabantwana bakwa- Israyeli,

Khona wahamba u -Ananiya, wangena endlini , wabeka izandla phezu kwakhe, wathi: Sawulu umzalwane , iNkosi uJesu eyabonakala kuwe endleleni oze ngayo , ingithumile ukuba ubuye ubone , ugcwaliswe ngoMoya oNgcwele.

Kodwa uBarnaba wamthatha, wamyisa kubaphostoli, wabalandisa ngokuthi uyibonile iNkosi endle leni, nokuthi ikhulumile kuye , nokuthi eDamaseku wayeshumayele ngesibindi ngegama likaJesu.

Njalo-ke ibandla laba nokuthula kulo lonke laseJudiya , naseGalile, naseSamariya, lakheka, lihamba ekwesabeni iNkosi , landa ngenduduzo kaMoya oNgcwele. UPetru uphilisa u-Eneya

Yilesi sivumelwano engizakusenza nabo , emva kwalezo zinsuku , isho iNkosi: Ngiyakufaka imithetho yami ezinhliziyweni zabo , ngiyilobe engqondweni yabo,

Ngokuba siyamazi owathi: Ngeyami impindiselo, yimina engiyakubuyisela, futhi-ke: INkosi iyakubahlulela abantu bayo.

Zamelani ukuthula nabo bonke kanye nokungcweliswa , ongenakho angeyibone iNkosi;

ngokuba iNkosi iyamlaya emthanday o ishaye yile yo naleyo ndodana eyamukelayo.

Kepha uNku lunkulu wokuthula owakhuphula kwabafileyo umalusi omkhulu wezimvu ngegazi lesivumelwano esimiyo njalo, iNkosi yethu uJesu,

ukuze sisho ngesibindi , sithi: INkosi ingumsizi wami , angiyikwesaba; umuntu angangenzani na?

Ngokuba uMelkisedeki lo , inkosi yaseSalema , umpristi kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, owahlangabeza u -Abrahama mhla ebuya ekubulaleni amakhosi, wambusisa;

Ngokuba kusobala ukuthi iNkosi yethu ivele kuJuda , isizwe uMose angakhulumanga lutho ngaso ngobupristi.

kepha yena wabekwa ngokufunga nguye owasho kuye ukuthi : INkosi yafunga, ayiyikuzisola, yathi: Wena ungumpristi kuze kube phakade.

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.

Abasayikufundisa kube yilowo nalowo owakubo , nalowo umfowabo , ngokuthi: Yazi INkosi; ngokuba bonke bayakungazi, kusukela komncane kuze kufike komkhulu wabo.

Ngokuba lapho ebasolayo, uthi kubo: Bhekani, izinsuku ziyeza, isho iNkosi, lapho ngiyakwenza isivumelwano esisha nendlu ka-Israyeli, nendlu kaJuda,

eyabonakaliswa ngamandla ukuthi iyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu ngokoMoya wobungcwele ngokuvuka kwabafileyo, uJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu

kodwa nangenxa yethu esiyakubalelwa khona , thina esikholwa nguye owavusa uJesu iNkosi yethu kwabafileyo,

ubusisiwe umuntu iNkosi engayikumbalela isono. U-Abrahama wamukeliswa isithembiso ngokukholwa.

ukuze njengalokho isono sabusa ngokufa , nomusa ubuse kanjalo ngokulunga, kube ngukuphila okuphakade ngoJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu.

Ngokuba inkokhelo yesono ingukufa, kepha isipho somusa sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade kuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.

Makabongwe uNkulunkulu ngoJesu Kristu iNkosi yet hu. Ngalokho-ke mina ngokwami ngikhonza umthetho kaNkulunkulu ngengqondo kepha umthetho wesono ngenyama.

nakuphakama, nakujula, nanto enye edaliweyo akuyikuba namandla okusahlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu olukuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.

ngokuba iNkosi iyakufeza izwi layo emhlabeni, iliphelelise, ikhawuleze,

njengalokho washo u -Isaya ngaphambili ukuthi : Uma iNkosi Sebawoti ibingasishiyelanga inzalo besiyakuba njengeSodoma, sifane neGomora.

UMariya kwakunguye owagcoba iNkosi ngamafutha , wesula izinyawo zayo ngezinwele zakhe, omnewabo uLazaru wayegula.

bathatha amahlamvu esundu, baphuma ukumhlangabeza. Bamemeza bathi: Hosiyana! Ubusisiwe ozayo egameni leNkosi, yebo, iNkosi ka-Israyeli.

Ungesabi, ndodakazi yaseSiyoni; bheka, iNkosi yakho iza, ikhwele etholeni lembongolo.

Uma-ke mina, iNkosi noMfundisi, ngigeze izinyawo zenu, nani-ke nifanele ukugezana izinyawo.

Angisasho ukuthi niyizinceku, ngokuba inceku ayikwazi ukuthi inkosi yayo yenzani, kepha ngithe ningabahlobo nina , ngokuba konke engikuzwile kuBaba nginazisile khona.

Kepha ninesiko lokuba nginikhululele omunye ngePhasika ; ngakho niyathanda ukuba nginikhululele inkosi yabaJuda na?

Ngalokho uPilatu wayefuna ukumkhulula . Kepha abaJuda bamemeza bathi: Uma ukhulula lona , awusiye umhlobo kaKesari ; osuka ezenza inkosi , umelene noKesari.

Kwakungolokulungisela iPhasika kungathi ihora lesithupha . Wathi kubaJuda: Bhekani inkosi yenu.

Ngakho bamemeza bathi : Susa, susa, mbethele esiphambanweni ! Wathi kubo uPilatu : Ngibethele inkosi yenu na ? Abapristi abakhulu baphendula bathi: Asinankosi, uKesari kuphela.

Kepha uPilatu waloba isaziso , wasibeka esiphambanweni . Kwakulotshiwe ukuthi: UJESU WASENAZARETHA, INKOSI YABAJUDA.

Base bethi abapristi abakhulu babaJuda kuPilatu : Ungalobi ukuthi: Inkosi yabaJuda, kepha ukuba yena wathi: NgiyiNkosi yabaJuda.

Zona-ke zathi kuye: Mame, ukhalelani na? Wathi kuzo: Bayithathile iNkosi yami, futhi angazi ukuthi bayibekephi.

UMariya Magdalena weza wabikela abafundi ukuthi : Ngiyibonile iNkosi , nokuthi: Ishilo lokho kimi.

Khona wayesegijima waya kuSimoni Petru nakulowo mfundi omunye uJesu amthandayo, wathi kubo : Bayisusile iNkosi ethuneni , asazi lapha beyibeke khona.

Eseshilo lokho wabakhombisa izandla nohlangothi lwakhe. Base bethokoza abafundi beyibona iNkosi.

Ngakho-ke abanye abafundi bathi kuye : Siyibonile iNkosi . Kepha wathi kubo: Uma ngingaboni ezandleni zayo inxeba lezipikili , ngifake umunwe wami enxebeni lezipikili , ngifake isandla sami ohlangothini lwayo , angisoze ngakholwa.

UJesu wathi kubo : Wozani nidle . Kepha akwabakho kubafundi o waba nesibindi sokumbuza ngokuthi: Ungubani wena na? Bazi ukuthi yiyo iNkosi.

Kwathi ukuba iNkosi yazi ukuthi abaFarisi bezwile ukuba uJesu wenza abafundi, ebhapathiza abaningi kunoJohane,

Ngakho-ke uJesu azi ukuthi bazakuza , bambambe, bambeke inkosi , wamonyukela futhi entabeni yena yedwa. UJesu uhamba phezu kolwandle (Math. 14:22; Mark. 6:45)

kodwa eminye imikhunjana evela eTiberiya yafika eduze nendawo lapho badla khona isinkwa, iNkosi ibongile;

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

Yathi kubo : Ukuvuna kukhulu , kepha izisebenzi ziying cosana; ngakho-ke nxusani inkosi yokuvuna ukuba ithumele izisebenzi ekuvuneni kwayo.

Kepha iNkosi yamphendula yathi : Marta, Marta, unakekela, ukhathazeka ngezinto eziningi.

Yayisithi iNkosi kuye : Manje-ke nina baFarisi nihl ambulula ingaphandle lenkezo nesitsha, kepha ingaphakathi lenu ligcwele ukuphanga nokubi.

Nani yibani njengabantu ababheke inkosi yabo ibuya emshadweni ukuba , nxa ifika ingqongqotha, bayivulele masinyane.

Zibusisiwe lezo zinceku okuyakuthi inkosi , nxa ifika , izifumane zilindile ; ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Iyakuzibopha ukhalo, izihlalise ekudleni, ize izikhonze.

Yayisithi iNkosi : Ngumuphi-ke umphathi othembekileyo noqondileyo , inkosi yakhe eyakumbeka phezu kwabendlu bayo ukuba abanike isabelo sabo sokudla ngesikhathi sakho?

Ibusisiwe leyo nceku okuyakuthi inkosi yayo , nxa ifika , iyifumane yenze njalo.

Kepha uma leyo nceku ithi enhliziyweni yayo : Inkosi yami ilibele ukufika , iqale ukushaya abafana namantombazana, idle, iphuze, idakwe,

inkosi yaleyo nceku iyakufika ngosuku engayibhekile ngalo nangomzuzu engawaziyo, iyinqumanqume, iyabele nabangakholekile.

Kepha iNkosi yamphendula yathi : Bazenzisi, kanti yilowo nalowo kini kayithukululi yini ngesa batha inkabi yakhe noma imbongolo yakhe emkhombeni, ayise ukuyoyiphuzisa, na?

Yathi inkosi encekwini : Phuma uye ezindleleni nasezintangweni, ubacindezele bangene ukuba igcwale indlu yami.

Noma yiyiphi inkosi eya kwenye inkosi ukuhlaselana nayo engaqali ihlale phansi, ihlole ukuba inamandla yini ukuhlangabezana ngezinkulungwane eziyishumi naleyo eza kuyo, inezinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili na?

Wayesethi umphathi phakathi kwakhe : Ngizakwenze njani , lokhu inkosi yami ingaphuca ubuphathi? Anginamandla okulima, nginamahloni ukunxiba.

Inkosi yambabaza umphathi ongalungile ngokuthi wenze ngokuhlakanipha, ngokuba abantwana balesi sikhathi bahlakaniphile esizukulwaneni sabo kunabantwana bokukhanya.

Yayisithi iNkosi : Uma beninokukholwa okungangenhlamvu yesinaphi , beningasho kulo mthombe: Simbuka, utshaleke elwandle, ubuyakunilalela.

Yayisithi iNkosi: Yizwani okushiwo ngumahluleli ongalungile.

Uma umuntu enibuza ethi: Nilithukululelani na? anothi: INkosi iyalidinga.

Bathi: INkosi iyalidinga.

Uyakuhamba ngaphambi kwayo emoyeni nasemandleni ka -Eliya ukuphendulela izinhliziyo zawoyise kubantwana nabangalaleliyo ekuqondeni kwabalungileyo, ukulungisela iNkosi isizwe esilungiselweyo.

Yenze njalo iNkosi kimi emihleni eyangibheka ngayo ukususa ihlazo lami phakathi kwabantu.

Yangena ingelosi kuye , yathi: E wena ophiwe umusa ! INkosi inawe ; ubusisiwe esifazaneni.

Yena uyakuba mkhulu , athiwe iNdodana yoPhezukonke ; iNkosi uNkulunkulu iyakumnika isihlalo sobukhosi sikayise uDavide;

Emihleni kaHerode inkosi yaseJudiya kwakukhona umpristi othile ogama lakhe nguZakariya, esigabeni sika-Abiya, nomkakhe engowamadodakazi ka - Aroni, igama lakhe ngu-Elisabethe.

Abakhelene naye nezihlobo zakhe bezwa ukuthi iNkosi yenze isihawu sayo saba sikhulu kuye, bathokoza naye.

Mayibongwe iNkosi, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ngokuba ibahambele abantu bayo, yabenzela inkululeko.

Kepha ukuthi bayavuswa abafile yo, noMose wakubonakalisa esihlahleni , lapho eyibiza iNkosi ngokuthi uNkulunkulu ka -Abrahama, noNkulunkulu ka- Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe.

lokhu uDavide uqobo uthi eNcwadini yamaHubo : INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami,

Ngakho uDavide umbiza ngokuthi iNkosi; pho, uyindodana yakhe kanjani na?

INkosi yayisiphendu ka, yambheka uPetru . UPetru walikhumbula izwi leNkosi, njengokuba ithe kuye : Iqhude lingakakhali namhlanje , uzakungiphika kathathu.

Baqala ukumthwesa icala , bathi: Simfumene lo edukisa isizwe sakithi , enqaba ukuba kuthelwe imali kuKesari, ethi nguye onguKristu inkosi.

bethi: Impela iNkosi ivukile, ibonakele kuSimoni.

ukuthi nizalelwe namuhla uMsindisi onguKristu iNkosi emzini kaDavide.

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

njengokulotshiwe emthethweni weNkosi ukuthi : Konke okwesilisa okuyizibulo kuyakuthiwa okwahlukaniselwe iNkosi ,

UJesu waphendula , wathi kuye : Kwathiwa: U ngayilingi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.

Yathi iNkosi isimbona, yamhawukela, yathi kuye: Ungakhali.

Uma umuntu ethi kini : Nikwenzelani lokhu na ? anothi: INkosi iyalidinga; izakulibuyisela lapha masinyane.

UJesu waphendula wathi : Owokuqala ngowokuthi : Yizwa, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, iNkosi, yinye.

Woyithanda iNkosi , uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho , nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho , nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho, nangawo onke amandla akho.

UDavide uqobo lwakhe washo ngoMoya oNgcwele ukuthi : INkosi yathi eNkosini yami : Hlala ngakwesokunene sami , ngize ngibeke izitha zakho phansi kwezinyawo zakho.

UDavide uqobo lwakhe umbiza ngokuthi iNkosi . Pho, uyindodana yakhe kanjani na? Ukusolwa kwababhali (Math. 23: 1; Luk. 20: 45) Isixuku esikhulu sasimuzwa ngokujabula.

Uma iNkosi ibingazifinyezi lezo zinsuku , bekungesindiswe muntu , kepha ngenxa yabakhethiweyo eyabakhetha yazifinyeza lezo zinsuku.

Ngakho lindani, ngokuba anazi ukuthi inkosi yendlu iyakufika nini , noma ngokuhlwa, noma phakathi kobusuku , noma ngokukhala kwezinkuku , noma ekuseni,

Umbhalo wecala lakhe ubulotshiwe ngaphezulu wokuthi : INKOSI YABAJUDA.

UKristu, iNkosi yakwa -Israyeli, makehle manje esiphambanweni , ukuze sibone, sikholwe. Nababebethelwe kanye naye bamdumaza.

Njalo-ke iNkosi uJesu isikhulumile kubo yakhushulelwa ezulwini , yahlala ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu.

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

Akamvumelanga, kepha wathi kuye : Hamba uye ekhaya kwabakini , ubabikele ukuthi kungakanani iNkosi ekwenzele khona, yakuhawukela.

Yayisikuzwa inkosi uHerode , ngokuba lalidumile igama lakhe . Kwathiwa uJohane uMbhapathizi uvukile kwabafileyo ; kungalokho lawa mandla asebenza kuye.

kwangena indodakazi kaHerodiya uqobo , yasina, yajabulisa uHerode nababehlezi naye . Inkosi yayi sithi entombazaneni : Cela kimi noma yini okuthandayo, ngizakukunika.

Inkosi yadabuka kakhulu , kepha ngenxa yezifungo nangenxa yababehlezi nayo ekudleni ayithandanga ukuyilandulela.

Inkosi yayisithuma masinyane ibutho, waliyala ukuba lilethe ikhanda lakhe. Lahamba, lamnquma ikhanda etilongweni.

Inkosi yadabuka, kepha ngenxa yezifungo zayo nangenxa yababehlezi nayo ekudleni yayaleza ukuba inikwe,

Kepha ingenalutho lokukhokha , inkosi yayala ukuba kuthengiswe ngayo , nangomkayo, nangabantabayo, nangakho konke enakho, kukhokhwe.

Inkosi yaleyo nceku inesihe yayikhulula, yayithethelela icala.

Khona inkosi yayo yayibiza , yathi kuyo : Nceku embi , lonke lelo cala ngikuthethelele lona ngokuba wangincenga;

Inkosi yayo yathukuthela , yayinikela kubaphathi betilongo , ize ikhokhe lonke icala layo.

uJesayi wazala uDavide, inkosi. UDavide wazala uSolomoni kumka-Uriya;

Uma umuntu esho utho kini , anothi: INkosi iyazidinga ; uyakuzithumela masinyane.

Yishoni kuyo indodakazi yaseSiyon i ukuthi: Bheka, iNkosi yakho iza kuwe , imnene, ikhwele embongolweni , yebo, etholeni, inkonyane yesilwane esiboshelwayo.

Kuthe inkosi ingena ukubona abahleziyo ekudleni, yabona khona umuntu obengayembethe ingubo yomshado;

Khona inkosi yathi ezincekwini : Mbopheni izinyawo nezandla, nimphonse ebumnyameni obungaphandle ; lapho kuyakuba khona ukukhala nokugedla amazinyo.

UJesu wathi kuye : Woyithanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho , nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho , nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho.

Wathi kubo: Pho, uDavide ngoMoya wambiza kanjani ngokuthi iNkosi, ethi:

INkosi yathi eNkosini yami : Hlala ngakwesokunene sami , ngize ngibeke izitha zakho phansi kwezinyawo zakho.

Ngakho-ke uma uDavide embiza ngokuthi iNkosi , uyindodana yakhe kanjani na?

Kepha inkosi yathukuthela, yathuma amabutho ayo, yabulala labo babulali, yashisa umuzi wabo.

Ngakho-ke lindani, ngokuba anazi ukut hi iNkosi yenu iyakufika ngaluphi usuku.

Pho, ngubani oyinceku ethembekileyo neqondayo , inkosi yayo eyimisile phezu kwabendlu yayo ukuba ibanike ukudla ngesikhathi sakho na?

Ibusisiwe leyo nceku, okuyakuthi kufika inkosi yayo, iyifumane yenze njalo.

Kodwa uma leyo nceku embi ithi enhliziyweni yayo: Inkosi yami ilibele,

inkosi yaleyo nceku iyakufika ngosuku engayibhekile ngalo nangeho ra engalaziyo,

Kepha emva kwesikhathi eside yafika inkosi yalezo zinceku , yalandisana nazo.

Inkosi yakhe yathi kuye: Kuhle, nceku enhle nethembekileyo, uthembekile ezintweni eziyingcosana ; ngizakukubeka phezu kokuningi ; ngena ekuthokozeni kwenkosi yakho.

Inkosi yakhe yathi kuye: Kuhle, nceku enhle nethembekileyo, uthembekile ezintweni eziyingcosana ; ngizakukubeka phezu kokuningi ; ngena ekuthokozeni kwenkosi yakho.

Kepha inkosi yakhe yaphendula , yathi kuye : Nceku embi nevilaphayo , ubukwazi ukuthi ngivuna lapha ngingahlwanyelanga khona , ngibutha lapha ngingafazanga khona, na?

Khona iNkosi izakuthi kwabangakwesokunene sayo: Zanini nina enibusisiwe nguBaba , nidle ifa lombuso eniwulungiselweyo selokhu kwasekelwa umhlaba.

Isiyakuphendula iNkosi , ithi kubo : Ngiqinisile ngithi kini , njengokuba nikwenzile komunye walaba bafowethu abancane, nikwenzile kimi.

bakhokha ngazo insimu yombumbi, njengokuba iNkosi ingiyalile.

Abeka ngaphezu kwekhanda lakhe icala lakhe libhalwe ngokuthi : LO NGUJESU, INKOSI YABAJUDA.

UJesu esezelwe eBetlehema laseJudiya emihleni kaHerode inkosi , bheka, kwafika izazi eJerusalema, zivela empumalanga, zithi:

UHerode inkosi esekuzwile lokho wakhathazeka neJerusalema lonke kanye naye.

Seziyizwile inkosi , zamuka; bheka, inkanyezi ezayibona kwelasempumalanga yahamba phambi kwazo , yaze yafika yema phezu kwalapho umntwana ekhona.

UJesu wathi kuye: Kulotshiwe futhi ukuthi: Ungayilingi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.

Amazwi ka -Amose owayephakathi kwabelusi baseThekhowa, owabonayo ngo-Israyeli emihleni ka -Uziya, inkosi yakwaJuda , nasemihleni kaJerobowamu indodana kaJowashi, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, iminyaka emibili ngaphambi kokuzamazama komhlaba.

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

Ngiyakunquma abakhileyo e -Ashidodi, nophethe intonga e -Ashikeloni, ngiphendulele isandla sami e -Ekroni; nensali yamaFilisti iyakuphela , isho iNkosi uJehova.

Ngalokho isho kan je iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Isitha siyakulihaqa izwe , sehlise kini izinqaba zenu, ziphangwe izindlu zenu zamakhosi.

Yizwani, nifakaze ngendlu kaJakobe , isho iNkosi uJehova , uNkulunkulu Sebawoti.

Ngokuba iNkosi uJehova ayenzi lutho , ingayambulanga imfihlakalo yayo ezincekwini zayo abaprofethi.

Ingonyama ibhongile , ngubani ongayikwesaba na ? INkosi uJehova ikhulumile, ngubani ongayikuprofetha na? Ukwahlulelwa kweSamariya

INkosi uJehova ifungile ubungcwele bay o ukuthi: Bhekani, izinsuku ziyakunehlela lapho niyaku suswa ngezingwegwe , nabaseleyo kini ngezindobo.

nishise umnikelo wokubonga ngokuvutshelweyo , nimemezele iminikelo yesihle, niyizwakalise, ngokuba nithanda kanjalo , bantwana bakwa-Israyeli, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti , iNkosi, uthi: Ezigcawini zonke kuyakuba khona ukukhala , nakuzo zonke izitaladi bayakusho ukuthi: Maye, maye! babize umlimi ukuba akhale, nabaziyo izililo ukuba balile;

Seniyakuthwala uSakuti inkosi yen u noKhewani inkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu, izithombe zenu enizenzele zona.

Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Umuzi owaphuma uyinkulungwane uyakushiya ikhulu , nowaphuma uyikhulu uyakushiya ishumi kuyo indlu yakwa-Israyeli.

INkosi uJehova izifungile , usho uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti , yathi: Ngiyanengwa ngukuzidla kukaJakobe , ngizonda izindlu zakhe zamakhosi ; ngiyakukhaphela umuzi nokugcwala kwawo.

INkosi uJehova yangibonisa kanje : bheka, yayenza isikhonyane ekuqaleni kokumila kotshani bamuva ; bheka, kwakungutshani bamuva emva kokusika kwenkosi.

U-Amasiya umpristi waseBethele wayesethumela kuJerobowamu inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, wathi: U-Amose ukwenzele ugobe phakathi kwendlu yakwa - Israyeli; izwe alinakuthwala onke amazwi akhe.

Yayisingibonisa kanje iNkosi uJehova: bheka, iNkosi uJehova yabiza ukulwa ngomlilo; wadla utwa olukhulu, wawusuyakudla futhi isabelo sikaJehova.

UJehova wazisola ngalokhu. Akuyikubakho, isho iNkosi uJehova. Umbono ngentambo yomthofu

Wayesengibonisa kanje : bheka, iNkosi yayimi ngasogangeni olwakhiwe ngentambo yomthofu wokumisa , enentambo yomthofu wokumisa esandleni sakhe.

UJehova wathi kimi : Amose, ubonani na ? Ngathi: Intambo yomthofu wokumisa. Yayisithi iNkosi : Bhekani, ngiyakubeka intambo yomthofu wokumisa phakathi kwabantu bami u-Israyeli; angisayikubadlula.

INkosi uJehova yayisingibonisa kanje : bheka, nanto iqoma lezithelo zasehlobo.

Bhekani, izinsuku ziyeza, isho iNkosi uJehova, lapho ngiyakuthuma indlala ezweni, kungabi yindlala yezinkwa, kungabi ngukomela amanzi, kepha kube ngeyokuzwa amazwi kaJehova.

Izihlabelelo zethempeli ziyakuba ngukuhhewula ngalolo suku , isho iNkosi uJehova; izidumbu ziyakuba ziningi, zilahlwe ezindaweni zonke. Thulani! Ukwahlulelwa kwabathengisi abakhohlisayo

Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku , isho iNkosi uJehova , ngilishonise ilanga emini , ngenze ukuba kube mnyama emhlabeni emini ekhanyayo.

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.

INkosi uNkulunkulu Sebawot i yiyo ethinta umhlaba , uncibilike, bakhale bonke abakhileyo kuwo ; uyakukhukhumala wonke njengeNayile , ubuye ubohle njengomfula waseGibithe;

Inkosi yaseGibithe yabikelwa ukuthi abantu sebebalekile ; inhliziyo kaFaro neyezinceku zakh e yabaguqukela abantu, bathi: Yini lokhu esikwenzileyo , sabavumela abakwa-Israyeli ukuba bahambe, bangasikhonzi, na?

UJehova wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro inkosi yaseGibithe ; waxosha abakwa-Israyeli; ngokuba abantwana bakwa -Israyeli baphuma ngesandla esiphakamileyo.

Inkosi yaseGibithe yakhuluma kubabelethisi bamaHeberukazi , igama lomunye wabo linguShifira, elomunye linguPhuwa,

Kodwa ababelethisi babemesaba uNkulunkulu , abenzanga njengalokho yasho kubo inkosi yaseGibithe, babasindisa abafana.

Inkosi yaseGibithe yayisibiza ababelethisi , yathi kubo : Nenzeleni lokhu , nasindisa abafana, na?

Kwavela inkosi entsha eGibithe eyayingamazi uJosefa.

Uma inkabi iqhubukusha isigqila noma isigqilakazi , uyakunika inkosi yaso amashekeli angamashumi amathathu esiliva, inkabi ikhandwe ngamatshe.

Uma inkosi yaso isinika umfazi , yena esizalela amadodana noma amadodakazi, umfazi nabantwana bakhe bayakuba ngabenkosi yakhe , sona siphume sodwa.

Uma isigqila siyakusho nokusho ukuthi : Ngiyathanda inkosi yami , nomkami, nabantwana bami, angiyikuphuma ngikhululekile,

khona inkosi yaso iyakusiyisa kuNkulunkulu , isimise emnyango noma ensikeni yomnyango , inkosi yaso ibhoboze indlebe yaso ngosungulo , size simkhonze kuze kube phakade.

Kwathi sekudlulile izinsuku eziningi , inkosi yaseGibithe yafa ; abakwa- Israyeli babubula ngenxa yobugqila , bakhala; ukukhala kwabo kw enyukela kuNkulunkulu ngobugqila babo.

Wathi: Nkosi, uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho , iNkosi mayihambe iphakathi kwethu , ngokuba bangabantu abantamo ilukhuni ; usithethelele ububi bethu nokona kwethu, usithabathe sibe yifa lakho.

Kepha ngiyazi mina ukuthi inkosi yaseGibithe ayiyikuvuma ukuba nihambe, ngisho nangesandla esinamandla.

Inkosi yaseGibithe yathi kubo : Nibakhumulelani abantu emithwalweni yabo nina Mose no-Aroni na? Hambani, niye emisebenzini yenu.

Ngena ukhulume kuFaro inkosi yaseGibithe ukuba ivumele abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuphuma ezweni lakhe.

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose naku -Aroni ukuba bayale abakwa -Israyeli noFaro inkosi yaseGibithe ukukhipha abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe. Inzalo kaMose neka-Aroni

Yibo labo ababekhuluma kuFaro inkosi yaseGibithe ukuba akhiphe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli eGibithe; yibo oMose no-Aroni.

uJehova washo kuMo se, wathi: NginguJehova; khuluma kuFaro inkosi yaseGibithe konke engikukhuluma kuwe.

Inkosi u-Ahashiveroshi yathelisa izwe neziqhingi zolwandle.

Zonke izenzo zegunya lakhe namandla akhe , nayo yonke indaba yobukhulu bukaMoridekayi inkosi eyayimkhulisela kubo angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi aseMediya nasePheresiya na?

Ngokuba uMoridekayi , umJuda, wayelama inkosi u -Ahashiveroshi ngobukhulu, emkhulu phakathi kwabaJuda , ethokozelwa ngaba fowabo abaningi, efuna okuhle kwesizwe sakubo , ekhuluma ukuthula kuyo yonke inzalo yabo.

Ngosuku lw esikhombisa, lapho inhliziyo yenkosi isithokoza ngewayini , yayala oMehumani , noBizitha, noHaribona, noBigitha, no-Abagitha, noZethari, noKarikasi, izinduna eziyisikhombisa ezazikhonza ebusweni buka - Ahashiveroshi inkosi

Kepha inkosikazi uVashiti yenqaba ukuza ngesiyalezo senkosi ngesandla sezinduna; ngalokho inkosi yathukuthela kakhulu , ulaka lwayo lwashisa phakathi kwayo.

Yayisisho inkosi kwabahlakaniphileyo abazazi izikhathi ngokuba yayinendlela enjalo inkosi phambi kwabo bonke ababewazi umthetho nokwahlulela;

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.

Uma kukuhle enkosini , makuphume izwi lobukhosi , lilotshwe phakathi kwemithetho yamaPheresiya namaMede, lingalahlwa, lokuba uVashiti angabe esangena phambi kwenkosi u -Ahashiveroshi, inkosi inike omunye omuhle kunaye ubukhosikazi bakhe.

yebo, ngaleyo mihla lapho inkosi u -Ahashiveroshi ihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso wayo, esasiseShushani endlini yenkosi,

Laba lihle lelo zwi emehlweni enkosi nasezikhulwini ; yenza-ke inkosi njengezwi likaMemukhani;

Seziphelile lezo zinsuku , inkosi yenzela abantu bonke ab abe khona eShushani endlini yenkosi , abakhulu nabancane , idili izinsuku eziyisikhombisa egcekeni lensimu yendlu yenkosi.

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

Yangena khona kusihlwa ; ekuseni yabuyela endlini yesibili yabesifazane phansi kwesandla sikaShahashigazi , induna yenkosi , umgcini wezancinza , ingaphindi ingene enkosini , uma inkosi ingathokozanga ngayo , ibizwe ngegama.

Inkosi yamthanda u -Esteri phezu kwabo bonke abesifazane, wafumana umusa nesihe emehlweni ayo kunazo zonke izintombi , wamfaka umqhele wobukhosi, wamenza inkosikazi esikhundleni sikaVashiti.

Inkosi yayisizenzela zonke izikhulu zayo nezinceku zayo idili elikhulu , idili lika-Esteri, wanika izifunda uk uphumula, waphana ngezipho njengokupha kwenkosi.

Zase zithi izinceku zenkosi ezaziyikhonza : Inkosi mayifunelwe izintombi ezibukekayo,

owayethunjiwe eJerusalema kanye nabathu njwa ababethunjwe noJekoniya , inkosi yakwaJuda, owathunjwa nguNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele.

Emva kwalezo zinto inkosi , u-Ahashiveroshi, yamenza mkhulu uHamani indodana kaHamedatha umAgagi , yamphakamisa, yamisa isihlalo sakhe phezu kwazo zonke izikhulu ezazinayo.

Inkosi yakhumula indandatho yayo esandleni sayo , yayinika uHamani indodana kaHamedatha umAgagi isitha sabaJuda.

Inkosi yathi kuHamani: Isiliva liyanikwa wena, nesizwe futhi, ukuba wenze kuso okuhle emehlweni akho.

Izigijimi za shesha zahamba ngezwi lenkosi . Umthetho washaywa eShushani endlini yenkosi; inkosi noHamani bahlala phansi , baphuza, kepha umuzi waseShushani wakhungatheka.

Zonke izinceku zenkosi ezazisesangweni lenkosi zakhothama , zakhuleka kuHamani, ngokuba inkosi iyale kanjalo ngaye . Kepha uMoridekayi akakhothamanga, kakhulekanga kuye.

UHamani wathi enkosini u -Ahashiveroshi: Kukhona isizwe esithile esihlakazekile, sisakazekile phakathi kwabantu bezifunda zonke zombuso wakho; nemithetho yaso yahlukene neyezizwe zonke; futhi asigcini imithetho yenkosi; ngalokho akufanele ukuba inkosi isiyeke.

Zonke izinceku zenkosi nabantu bezifunda zenkosi bayazi ukuthi bonke abesilisa nabesifazane abeza enk osini egcekeni elingaphakathi bengabizwanga, kukhona umthetho munye ngabo wokuba babulawe , ngaphandle kwalowo inkosi eyakwelulela kuye intonga yegolide ukuba aphile; kodwa mina angibizwanga ukuba ngingene enkosini ngalezi zi nsuku ezingamashumi amathathu.

Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu u -Esteri wembatha ingubo yobukhosi , wema egcekeni elingaphakathi lendlu yenkosi malungana nendlu yenkosi ; inkosi yayihlezi esihlalweni sayo sobuk hosi endlini yobukhosi malungana nomnyango wendlu.

UHamani wabalandisa udumo lwengcebo yakhe , nobuningi babantwana bakhe, nakho konke inkosi emkhulisile kukho, nalokho emphakamisile kukho phezu kwezikhulu nezinceku zenkosi.

Kwathi lapho inkosi ibona u -Esteri inkosikazi emi egcekeni , wafumana umusa emehlweni ayo ; inkosi yamelulela u -Esteri intonga yegolide esesandleni sayo. Wayesesondela u-Esteri, wasithinta isihloko sentonga.

Yayisithi inkosi kuye : Ukhala ngani , nkosikazi Esteri , na? Yini oyifunayo na? Uyakunikwa kuze kube nenxenye yombuso.

Wathi u-Esteri: Uma kukuhle enkosini , inkosi noHamani mabeze namuhla edilini engiyilungisele lona.

Yathi inkosi: Msheshiseni uHamani ukuba kwenziwe njengezwi lika -Esteri. Base beya inkosi noHamani edilini alilungisileyo u-Esteri.

Inkosi yathi ku -Esteri ngasedilini lewayini : Isicelo sakho siyini na ? Uyakusenzelwa. Yini oyifunayo na ? Kuyakwenziwa kuze kube nenxenye yombuso.

Uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni enkosi noma kukuhle enkosini ukunginika lokho engikucelayo nokwenza lokho engikufunayo , makuze inkosi noHamani edilini engiyakubalungisela lona ; ngiyakwenza kusasa njengezwi lenkosi. Ukuziphakamisa nokuthukuthela kukaHamani

Yayisithi inkosi kuHaman i: Shesha, uthathe is ambatho nehhashi njengokusho kwakho, wenze njalo kuMoridekayi, umJuda, ohlezi esangweni lenkosi. Makungaphuthi lutho lwakho konke okukhulumileyo.

UHamani wathatha -ke isambatho nehhashi , wamembathisa uMoridekayi , wamkhwelisa esigcawin i somuzi , wamemeza phambi kwakhe ngokuthi : Uyakwenzelwa kanjalo umuntu inkosi ethanda ukumdumisa.

Inkosi yathi : Ludumo luni nobukhulu buni okwenzelwe uMo ridekayi ngalokho na? Zase zithi izinceku zenkosi ezaziyikhonza: Akenzelwanga lutho.

Yayisithi inkosi: Ngubani osegcekeni na? UHamani wayesandUkungena nje egcekeni elingaphandle lendlu yenkosi ukuba akhulume enkosini ngokuphanyekwa kukaMoridekayi emthini abemlungisele wona.

Zathi-ke izinceku zenkosi kuyo: Bheka, uHamani umi egcekeni. Yathi inkosi: Makangene.

Yayisithi inkosi kuye: Umuntu inkosi ethanda ukumdumisa wenzelwani na ? UHamani wathi enhliziyweni yakhe : Ngubani inkosi ebiyakuthanda ukumenzela udumo ngaphandle kwami na?

Wayesethi enkosini: Umuntu inkosi ethanda ukumenzela udumo

makalethelwe isambatho sobukhosi ekade isembethe inkosi , kanye nehhashi inkosi ekade ikhwela kulo nelifakwe enhloko yalo umqhele wobukhosi;

isambatho nehhashi makunikez we esandleni sesinye sezikhulu ezidumileyo ukuba zimembathise lowo muntu inkosi ethanda ukumdumisa , zimkhwelise ehhashini esigcawini somuzi , zimemeze phambi kwakhe ngokuthi : Uyakwenzelwa kanjalo umuntu inkosi ethanda ukumdumisa.

Yafika-ke inkosi noHamani edilini lika-Esteri inkosikazi.

Inkosi yabuye yathi ku -Esteri ngosuku lwesibili lwedili lewayini : Isicelo sakho siyini , nkosikazi Esteri , na? Uyakusenzelwa. Yini oyifunayo na ? Kuyakwenziwa kuze kube nenxenye yombuso.

ngokuba kuthe ngisiwe ngathi , mina nesizwe sakithi , ukuba sichithwe , sibulawe, sibhubhe. Uma bekuthengisiwe ngathi sibe yizigqila nezigqilakazi kuphela, ngabe ngithulile , ngokuba usizi lwethu alwanele ukuba sisinde inkosi.

Yayisisho inkosi u-Ahashiveroshi, ithi ku-Esteri inkosikazi: Ngubani lo, uphi yena onesibindi sokwenza lokho na?

Yayisisukuma inkosi ngolaka lwayo edilini lewayini , yaya ensimini yendlu yenkosi; uHamani wasukuma ukunxusa u -Esteri inkosikazi ngokuphila kwakhe, ngokuba wabona ukuthi usenqunyelwe okubi yinkosi.

Inkosi isibuya ensimini yendlu yenkosi , ingene endlini yedili lewayini , uHamani wayesewele embhedeni u -Esteri ayekuwo . Yayisithi inkosi : Uyakuyiphoqa inkosikazi phambi kwami lapha endlini na ? Lapho liphuma leli zwi emlonyeni wenkosi, bamboza ubuso bukaHamani.

Wayesethi uHaribona , enye yezinduna ezaziphambi kwenkosi : Bheka, umuthi okuphakama kwawo kuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu, uHamani ayewenzele uMoridekayi owakhuluma kahle ngenkosi , umi endlini kaHamani. Inkosi yathi: Mphanyekeni kuwo.

Ngalolo suku inkosi u -Ahashiveroshi yanika u -Esteri, inkosikazi, indlu kaHamani isitha sabaJuda. UMoridekayi weza phambi kwenkosi, ngokuba u- Esteri wayeselandile ukuthi uyini naye.

inkosi eyavumela ngakho abaJuda ababesemizini ngemizi ukuba babuthane, bamele ukuphila kwabo , bachithe, babulale, babhubhise onke amabutho abantu nawesifunda abahlaselayo, izingane nabesifazane, impahla yabo ibe yimpango,

Inkosi yakhumula indandatho yayo ebiyisusile kuH amani, yayinika uMoridekayi. U-Esteri wambeka uMoridekayi phezu kwendlu kaHamani.

Inkosi yamelulela u-Esteri intonga yegolide. Wayesesukuma u-Esteri, wema phambi kwenkosi.

Inkosi u-Ahashiveroshi yathi ku-Esteri, inkosikazi, nakuMoridekayi, umJuda: Bhekani, nginike u -Esteri indlu kaHamani ; yena bamphanyekile emthini , ngokuba wabeka isandla sakhe kubaJuda.

Inkosi yayisithi ku -Esteri inkosikazi : AbaJuda babulele bac hitha abantu abangamakhulu ayisihlanu eShushani endlini yenkosi namadodana ayishumi kaHamani; pho, benzeni kwezinye izifunda zenkosi ? Isicelo sakho siyini ? Uyakusenzelwa. Yini oyifunayo na? Kuyakwenziwa.

Inkosi yasho ukuba kwenziwe kanjalo ; umthetho washaywa eShushani ; bawaphanyeka amadodana ayishumi kaHamani.

Ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi, inkosi yasePheresiya, ukuba kufezeke izwi likaJehova, ngomlomo kaJeremiya uJehova wavusa umoya kaKoresi , inkosi yasePheresiya, ukuba amemezel e embusweni wakhe wonke , alobe futhi ngokuthi:

Usho kanje uKoresi inkosi yasePheresiya , uthi: UJehova uNkulunkulu wezulu unginikile yonke imibuso yomhlaba ; ungiyalile ukumakhela indlu eJerusalema lakwaJuda.

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

yebo, zona uKoresi inkosi yasePheresiya wazikhipha ngesandla sikaMithiredati umphathisikhwama , wazibalela kuSheshebasari isikhulu sakwaJuda.

Nampa abantwana bezwe abakhuphuka ekuthunjweni kwababethunjiw e bayiswa eBabele nguNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele , babuyela eJerusalema nakwaJuda, kwaba yilowo nalowo emzini wakubo,

Lapho abakhi sebebeka isisekelo sethempeli likaJehova , bamisa abapristi begqokile benamacilongo kanye namaLevi , amadodana ka -Asafa, enamasimbali ukuba badumise uJehova njengehlelo likaDavide inkosi yakwa- Israyeli.

Banika nababazi bamatshe imali kanye nababazi bemithi; banika amaSidoni nabaseTire ukudla nokuphuza namafutha ukuba balande imisedari eLebanoni, bayiyise elwandle eJopha ngemvume kaKoresi inkosi yasePheresiya kubo.

Nansi impinda yencwadi abayithu ma ku -Aritahishashita inkosi yokuthi : Izinceku zakho, abantu abaphesheya koMfula, nokuthi nokuthi.

Njengokuba manje sidla usawoti wendlu yenkosi , kungasifanele ukuba sibone ihlazo lenkosi, ngalokho sithumele sayazisa inkosi

Siyazisa inkosi ukuthi uma lo muz i wakhiwa , ziqedwe izingange zawo , ngalokho awusayikuba nasiqephu phesheya koMfula.

Inkosi yayisithuma incwadi kuRehumi unqamulajuqu noShimshayi umbhali nabanye abangane babo ababehlala eSamariya nakwelinye phesheya koMfula yokuthi: Ukuthula, nokuthi nokuthi.

zasondela kuZerubabele nakuzo izinhloko zawoyise , zathi kubo : Masakhe nani, ngokuba sifuna uNkulunkulu wenu njengani , sinikela kuye kwasemihleni ka-Esari Hadoni inkosi yase-Asiriya owasikhuphulela lapha.

Wawusuthiywa umsebenzi wendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema. Wathiywa kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wesibili wokubusa kukaDariyu inkosi yasePheresiya.

Kepha oZerubabele noJeshuwa nensali yezinhloko zawoyise bakwa -Israyeli bathi kuzo: Aninandaba nathi yokwakhela uNkulunkulu wethu indlu , kepha thina sodwa siyakumakhela uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli njengokusiyala kwenkosi uKoresi, inkosi yasePheresiya.

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

Emihleni ka -Aritahishashita oBishilamu , noMithiredati, noThabeyeli, nabanye abangane bakhe baloba ku -Aritahishashita inkosi yasePheresiya ; okulotshiweyo kwakunjengokulotshwa kwesi -Aramu, kwachazwa ngesi - Aramu.

URehumi unqamulajuqu noShimshayi , umbhali, babhala incwadi enje ku- Aritahishashita inkosi ngeJerusalema ngokuthi:

Kepha ngokuba obaba bese bemthukuthelisile uNkulunkulu wezulu , wabanikela esandleni sikaNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele , umKaledi, owachitha le ndlu, wabamukisa, wabayisa eBabele.

Kepha ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi inkosi yaseBabele , uKoresi inkosi wakhipha isimemezelo sokuba kwakhiwe le ndlu kaNkulunkulu.

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;

Ngalokho uma kukuhle enkosini , makucingwe endlini yengcebo yenkosi elapho eBabele ukuba kunjalo yini ukuthi uKoresi inkosi wakhipha isimemezelo soku ba kwakhiwe le ndlu kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema ; inkosi mayithume kithi inhloso yayo ngalokho.

Nansi impinda yencwadi uThathenayi , umbusi waphesheya koMfula , noShethari Bozenayi , nabangane bakhe ama -Afarisaki ayengaphesheya koMfula abayithuma kuDariyu inkosi;

bathuma incwadi kuye okulotshwe kuyo ukuthi : KuDariyu inkosi; makube ngukuthula konke.

Khona uThathenayi umb usi waphesheya koMfula , noShethari Bozenayi , nabangane babo benza kanjalo ngesineke sonke , ngokuba uDariyu inkosi wayethumele.

Amalunga abaJuda ayesakha , aba nempumelelo ngokuprofetha kukaHagayi umprofethi noZakariya indodana ka -Ido. Akha, aqeda njengokwesiyalezo sikaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, nanjengokwesiyalezo sikaKoresi, noDariyu, no-Aritahishashita, inkosi yasePheresiya.

Yaqedwa leyo ndlu ngosuku lwesithathu lwenyanga ka -Adari ngomnyaka wesithupha wokubusa kukaDariyu inkosi.

Ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi inkosi , uKoresi inkosi wakhipha isimemezelo sokuthi : Ngendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema , indlu mayakhiwe endaweni lapho benik elela khona ngemihlatshelo , zibekwe izisekelo zayo , ziqine, ukuphakama kwayo kube yizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha, ububanzi bayo bube yizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha;

Emva kwalokho esabusa u -Aritahishashita, inkosi yasePheresiya, u-Ezra kaSeraya ka-Azariya kaHilikiya,

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

U-Aritahishashita, inkosi yamakhosi ku -Ezra, umpristi nombhali womthetho kaNkulunkulu wezulu; ukuthula, nokuthi nokuthi.

nokuyisa isiliva negolide inkosi nabeluleki bayo abalinikele ngesihle kuNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ondlu yakhe iseJerusalema,

Kimina, yebo, mina Aritahishashita inkosi, kukhishwa isimemezelo kubo bonke abaphathizikhwama abangaphesheya koMfula ukuthi konke u -Ezra umpristi nombhali wom thetho kaNkulunkulu wezulu ayakukubiza kini , makwenziwe ngesineke sonke,

u-Ezra lo wakhuphuka eBabele; wayengumbhali echwepheshile emthethweni kaMose awunikiweyo nguJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli; inkosi yamnika konke akucelayo ngokwesandla sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe esasiphezu kwakhe.

Kwakhuphuka nabanye abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, nabapristi, namaLevi, nabahlabeleli, nabalindisango, namaNethini, baya eJerusalema ngomnyaka wesikhombisa ka-Aritahishashita inkosi.

Nazi izinhloko zawoyise , nazi izizukulwane zabakhuphuka nami eBabele ekubuseni kuka-Aritahishashita inkosi:

Kuyakuthi lapho iNkosi isiqedile wonke umsebenzi wayo entabeni yaseSiyoni naseJerusalema, ijezise isithelo senhliziyo ezidlayo yenkosi yase - Asiriya nokuzikhukhumeza kwamehlo ayo aziphakamisayo.

Ngalokho iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti iyakuthum a ukonda phakathi kwabakhulupheleyo bakhe , nangaphansi kodumo lwakhe kuyakuphembeka ukushisa njengokushisa komlilo.

Ngokuba iNkosi uJehova Sebawot i iyakwenza ukubhujiswa okunqunyiweyo phakathi kwawo wonke umhlaba.

Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti, ithi: We bantu bami, enakhe eSiyoni, ningalesabi i-Asiriya, lapho likushaya ngentonga yalo, liphakamisele kuwe udondolo lwalo ngendlela yaseGibithe.

Bheka, iNkosi uJehova Sebawot i iyanquma amagatsha ngokwesabekayo , kugawulwe abaphakemeyo, nabazikhukhumezayo behliswe.

Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku iNkosi ibuye yelule isandla sayo ngokwesib ili ukuzuza insali yabantu bayo eyakusala e -Asiriya, naseGibithe, nasePhatirosi, naseKushe, nase-Elamu, naseShineyari, naseHamati, naseziqhingini zolwandle.

Ngiyakubanikeza abaseGibith e esandleni senkosi elukhuni , nenkosi enamandla iyakubusa phezu kwabo, isho iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti.

Ngalokho i thi iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti , uMninimandla ka -Israyeli: E, ngiyakuzikhulula kwabamelene nami, ngiziphindisele ezitheni zami,

Ngomnyaka wokufika kukaTharithani e -Ashidodi, ethunywe nguSarigoni , inkosi yase-Asiriya, walwa ne-Ashidodi, walithatha,

kanjalo inkosi yase -Asiriya iyakumukisa abathunjwa baseGibithe nabaxoshiweyo baseKushe , abasha nabadala , behamba ze , bengafakile nazicathulo, izinqe zabo zihlubuliwe, kube yihlazo laseGibithe.

Ngokuba iNkosi ishilo kimi kanje , yathi: Phakathi kom nyaka, njengeminyaka yomqashwa, udumo lonke lwaseKedari luyakuphela,

Ngokuba ishilo kanje iNkosi , yathi: Hamba umise umlind i ozakubika akubonayo.

Ngalolo suku iNkosi uJehova Sebawot i yabizela ukukhala, nokulila, nobumpandla, nokubhinca indwangu yamasaka,

Kepha uJehova Sebawoti wazibonakalisa ezindlebeni zami , wathi: Impela lesi sono asiyikuhlangulwa kini nize nife, isho iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti. Isiprofetho ngoShebina no-Eliyakimi

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti , ithi: Hamba uye kuleyo nduna uShebina ophezu kwendlu, uthi:

Uyakugwinya ukufa kuze kube phakade ; iNkosi uJehova iyakwesula izinyembezi ebusweni bonke, isuse amahloni abantu bakhe emhlabeni wonke, ngokuba uJehova ukhulumile.

Ngalokho ithi iNkosi uJehova : Bheka, ngibeka eSiyoni itshe lesisekelo , itshe elivivinyekileyo , itshe legumbi elinqabileyo lesisekelo esiyiso ; okholwayo kayikubaleka.

Bheka, iNkosi inaye oqinileyo nonamandla ; uyakuwisa phansi ngamandl a njengesivunguvungu esi nesichotho, nesiphepho esichithayo , nesiphihli samanzi esinamandla esikhukhulayo.

Yathi iNkosi : Ngenxa yokuba laba bantu besondela , bangidumise ngemilomo yabo nangezindebe zabo , kodwa bazidedisele kude nami izinhliziyo zabo , nokungesaba kwabo kungumyalo wabantu abawufundisiweyo nje,

Ngokuba yasho njalo iNkosi uJehova , oNgcwele ka -Israyeli, yathi: Niyakusindiswa ngokuphenduka nangokuphumula , amandla enu abe ngukuthula nangokwethemba; kepha anithandanga.

Noma iNkosi iyakukunika isinkwa sosizi namanzi okuhlupheka , abafundisi bakho abasayikucasha, kodwa amehlo akho ayakubabona abafundisi bakho,

Bheka, kuyakuba khona inkosi ebusa ngokulunga , izikhulu zibuse ngokwahlulela.

Isiwula asisayikubizwa ngokuthi sihloniphekile, nomkhohlisi akasayikuthiwa inkosi.

Amehlo akho ayakuyibona inkosi ebuhleni bayo , ayakubona izwe elelulekele kude.

Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi nane wenko si uHezekiya, uSaneheribi, inkosi yase-Asiriya, wenyuka wahlasela yonke imizi ebiyelweyo yakwaJuda , wayithatha.

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?

Wayesema uRabi Shake , wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu ngolimi lwabaJuda , wathi: Zwanini amazwi enkosi enkulu, inkosi yase-Asiriya.

Isho kanje inkosi, ithi: Maningakhohliswa nguHezekiya, ngokuba akayikuba namandla okunophula;

Ningamlaleli uHezekiya , ngokuba inkosi yase -Asiriya isho kanje , ithi: Yenzani ukuthula nami, niphumele kimi, nidle, kube yilowo nalowo emvinini wakhe, kube yilowo nalowo emkhiwaneni wakhe , niphuze, kube yilowo nalowo amanzi omthombo wakhe,

Inkosi yase-Asiriya yathuma uRabi Shake , asuke eLakishi, aye eJerusalema enkosini uHezekiya , enempi enkulu , wema ngasemseleni wechibi lasenhla , elingasendleleni yeNsimu Yomhlanzi.

Wathi kubo uRabi Shake : Ake nisho kuHezekiya , nithi: Isho kanje inkosi enkulu, inkosi yase-Asiriya, ithi: Yithemba lini leli olethembayo na?

Bheka, wethemba udondolo lwalo mhlanga ofecekileyo oyiGibithe ; kepha uma u muntu ezimelela ngalo , luyangena esandleni sakhe , lusihlabe; unjalo uFaro inkosi yaseGibithe kubo bonke abamethembayo.

Ngalokho ake uvumelane nenkosi yami , inkosi yase-Asiriya, ngiyakukunika amahhashi ayizinkulungwane ezimbili, uma ungabeka izinkweli kuzo.

Kwathi inkosi uHezekiya ikuzwile lokho , yaklebhula izingubo zayo , yazembesa indwangu yamasaka, yangena endlini kaJehova.

Niyakukhuluma kanje kuHezekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, nithi: UNkulunkulu wakho omethembayo makangakukhohlisi ngokuthi iJerusalema aliyikunikelwa esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya.

Iphi inkosi yaseHamati , nenkosi yase -Aripadi, nenkosi yomuzi waseSefarivayimi, naseHena, nase-Iva na?

U-Isaya indodana ka -Amose wathumela kuHezekiya , wathi: Usho kanje uJehova uNku lunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Njengalokhu ukhuleke kimi ngoSaneheribi inkosi yase-Asiriya,

Ngesandla sezinceku zakho uyijivazile iNkosi, wathi: Ngobuningi bezinqola zami ngenyuke mina phezulu ezintaben i ngaphakathi kweLebanoni ; ngigawula imisedari yalo emide nemisayipuresi yalo ekhethekileyo ngangena ekuphakameni kwalo kokugcina nasehlathini lalo eliminyeneyo.

Wayesesuka uSaneheribi inkosi yase-Asiriya, wahamba, wabuya, wahlala eNineve.

INkosi uJehova inginikile ulimi l wabafundi ukuba ngazi ukuvuselela oyethileyo ngamazwi ahlumelelayo; ivusa njalo indlebe yami ekuseni imihla ngemihla ukuba ngizwe njengabafundi.

Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Abantu bami behlela kuqala eGibithe ukuba bagogobale khona ; i-Asiriya lamcindezela ngaphandle kwesizathu.

INkosi uJehova ebutha abaxoshiweyo bakwa-Israyeli ithi: Ngisezakubuthela kuye nabanye ngaphandle kwabase bebuthiwe. U-Israyeli wonakele

Ngokuba njengokuba umhlaba uveza ihlumela lawo , nanjengensimu ehlumisa okutshalwe kuyo , kanjalo iNkosi uJehova iyakuvez a ukulunga nodumo phambi kwezizwe zonke.

Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uNkulunkulu , ithi: Bhekani, izinceku zami ziyakudla, kepha nina niyakulamba ; bhekani, izinceku zami ziyakuphuza , kepha nina niyakoma ; bhekani, izinceku zami ziyakuthokoza , kepha nina niyakujabha;

Ngomnyaka wesithathu kaKoresi, inkosi yase Pheresiya, uDaniyeli ogama lakhe labizwa ngokuthi uBeliteshasari wambulelwa izwi ; izwi laliqinisile , lalingukulwa okukhulu; waliqonda izwi, waqonda nombono.

Wathi: Ungesabi, muntu othandekayo; ukuthula makube kuwe; qina, yebo, mawuqine. Lapho ekhuluma kimi , ngaqiniswa, ngathi: Mayikhulume inkosi yami, ngokuba ungiqinisile.

Inkosi yaseningizimu iyakubaba , iphume, ilwe nenkosi yasenyakatho ; iyakuveza isixuku esikhulu, isixuku sinikelwe esandleni sayo.

Inkosi yasenyakatho iyakubuya, iveze isixuku esikhulu kunesokuqala , ifike nokufika ngasekupheleni kwezikhathi eziyiminyaka nempi enkulu nempahla eningi.

Ngalezo zikhathi abaningi bayakuyisukela inkosi yaseningizimu , nabaphangi babantu bakho bayakuziphakamisa ukuwuqinisa umbono, kepha bayakuwa.

Iyakufika inkosi yasenyakatho, inqwabele iduli, ithathe umuzi obiyelweyo; izingalo zaseningizimu aziyikuma , nabantu bayo abakhethiweyo abayikuba namandla okuma.

Uyakuvusela inkosi yasenin gizimu amandla akhe nesibindi sakhe ngempi enkulu, inempi enkulu enamandla impela ; kepha ayiyikuma , ngokuba bayakuceba amacebo ngayo.

Kuyakuvela inkosi enamandla eyakubusa ngokubusa okukhulu , yenze njengentando yayo.

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

Inkosi yaseningizimu iyakuba namandla , kanjalo esinye sezikhulu zayo , yebo, sibe namandla kunayo , sibuse, nokubusa kwaso kuyakuba ngukubusa okukhulu.

Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka bayakuhlangana , kufike indodakazi yenkosi yaseningizimu enkosini yasenyakatho ukwenza isivumelwano ; kepha ayiyikugcina amandla engalo, nayo inkosi ayiyikuma nengalo yayo , kodwa iyakunikelwa nabayilethayo, nowayizalayo, nowayisizayo ngalezo zikhathi.

Nawonkulunkulu babo kanye nezithombe zabo ezibunjiweyo nezitsha zabo ezinxanelekayo zesiliva nezegolide uyakukuthumba , akuyise eGibithe , ayiyeke inkosi yasenyakatho iminyaka ethile.

Ngomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kukaJehoyakimi , inkosi yakwaJuda , kwafika uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, eJerusalema, walivimbezela.

Induna yabathenwa yathi kuDaniyeli : Mina ngiyesaba ukuthi inkosi yami , inkosi, emisile ukudla kwenu nokuphuza kwenu , iyakubona ubuso benu ukuba buxhozekile kunabafana abayintanga yenu , nilifake engozini ikhanda lami enkosini.

Ngasekugcineni kwezinsuku inkosi eyayishilo ukuthi bazakungeniswa ngazo, induna yabathenwa yabangenisa phambi kukaNebukadinesari.

Inkosi yakhuluma nabo ; phakathi kwabo bonke akufunyaniswanga muntu onjengoDaniyeli, noHananiya, noMishayeli, no-Azariya; base bemi ngaphambi kwenkosi.

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

Ezintweni zonke zokuhlakanipha nezokuqonda inkosi eyayibabuza ngazo yabafumanisa b edlula kayishumi zonke izanusi nabathwebulayo ababesembusweni wayo wonke.

UDaniyeli wayekhona kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi inkosi.

Inkosi yakhuluma ku -Ashipenazi, induna yabathenwa bayo , ukuba athathe kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli abozalo lwenkosi nezikhulu, abalethe,

Inkosi yabamisela isabelo semihla ngemihla sokudla kwenkosi nesewayini eliphuzayo, bondliwe iminyaka emithathu; kuyakuthi ngasekugcineni kwayo beme phambi kwenkosi.

Futhi kuyinto elukhuni eyifunayo inkosi , kakho omunye ongayibonisa phambi kwenkosi ngaphandle kwawonkulunkulu abangahlali nabasenyameni.

Ngalokho inkosi yathukuthe la, yafutheka kakhulu , yayaleza ukuba kubhujiswe bonke abahlakaniphileyo baseBabele.

UDaniyeli wayese ngena, wacela enkosini ukuba imnike isikhathi ukuze abonise inkosi incazelo.

Yayisiyaleza inkosi ukuba kubizwe izanusi , nabathwebulayo, nabalumbi, namaKaledi ukuba bachazele inkosi amaphupho ayo . Bangena, bema phambi kwenkosi.

Ngalokho uDaniyeli wangena ku -Ariyoki obemiswe yinkosi ukuba abhubhise abahlakaniphileyo baseBabele . Wahamba, washo kanje kuye , wathi: Ungababhubhisi abahlakaniphileyo baseBabele; ngingenise phambi kwenkosi, ngibonise inkosi incazelo.

U-Ariyoki wayeseshesha ukumngenisa uDaniyeli phambi kwenkosi , washo kanje kuyo, wathi: Ngifumene umuntu wabathunjwa bakwaJuda oyakwazisa inkosi incazelo.

Inkosi yaphendula , yathi kuDaniyeli, ogama lakhe lalinguBeliteshasari : Ungangazisa iphupho engilibonileyo nencazo yalo na?

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

Kepha kukhona uNkulunkulu ezulwini owambula izimfihlakalo ; wazisile inkosi uNebukadinesari okuyakuba khona ngezinsuku ezizayo. Iphupho lakho nemibono yekhanda lakho embhedeni wakho nakhu:

Inkosi yayisithi kubo : Ngiphuphe i phupho, umoya wami ukhathazekile ukulazi iphupho.

Mina-ke, akungokuhlakanipha enginakho kunabanye abakhona ukut hi le mfihlakalo yambuliwe kimi , kepha kungukuba inkosi yaziswe incazelo nokuba wazi imicabango yenhliziyo yakho.

Njengalokho wabona itshe ukuthi laqheshulwa entabeni kungengazandla , nokuthi lachoboza insimbi , nethusi, nebumba, nesiliva, negolide, uNkulunkulu omkhulu uyazisil e inkosi okuyakuba khona emva kwalokhu ; iphupho liqinisile, nencazo yalo iyiqiniso.

Inkosi uNebukadinesari yayisiwa ngobuso, yakhuleka kuDaniyeli, yayaleza ukuba banikele ngomnikelo nangempepho kuye.

Inkosi yamphendula uDaniyeli , yathi: Ngempela uNku lunkulu wakho unguNkulunkulu wawonkulunkulu , neNkosi yamakhosi , umambuli wezimfihlakalo, lokhu ubunamandla okubonakalisa le mfihlakalo.

Inkosi yamkhulisa uDaniyeli , yamupha izipho eziningi ezinkulu , yamenza ukuba abuse sonke isifunda saseBabele , abe ngu mholi wababusi babahlakaniphileyo baseBabele.

Inkosi yaphendula, yathi kumaKaledi : Izwi liphumile kimi lokuthi uma ningazisi iphupho nencazo yalo, niyakuhlahlelwa, izindlu zenu zibe yiquba.

Abuye aphendula , athi: Inkosi mayisho iphupho ez incekwini zayo , thina sibonise incazelo.

Inkosi-ke yaphendula yathi : Ngiyazi impela ukuthi niyazenzela isikhathi , ngokuba nibona ukuthi izwi liphumile kimi

UNebukadinesari, inkosi, wenza isithombe segolide, ubude baso buyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha , ububanzi baso buyizingalo eziyisithupha , wasibeka ethafeni laseDura esifundeni saseBabele.

UNebukadinesari inkosi wayesethumela ukubutha izikhulu , nababusi, nezinduna, nabahluleli, nabaphathizikhwama, nabomkhandlu, nabameli, nabo bonke abaphathizifunda ukuba beze ekwahlukaniselweni kwesithombe uNebukadinesari inkosi asimisileyo.

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

Khona izikhulu , nababusi, nezinduna, nabahluleli, nabaphathizikhwama, nabomkhandlu, nabameli, nabo bonke abaphathizifunda babuthelwa ukwahlukaniselwa kwesithombe uNebukadinesari inkosi abesimisile , bema phambi kwesithombe uNebukadinesari asimisileyo.

Inkosi yabaphakamisa oShadiraki , noMeshaki, no-Abedi Nego esifundeni saseBabele.

ukuba ngesikhathi enizwa ngaso ukukhala kwecilongo , negenkle, nehabhu, nomqangala, nogubhu, negemfe, nazo zonke izinhlobo zokubethwa , niwe phansi, nikhuleke esithombeni segolide uNebukadinesari inkosi asimisileyo.

Ngalokho lapho abantu bezwa ukukhala kwecilongo , negenkle, nehabhu, nomqangala, nogubhu, nazo zonke izinhlobo zokubethwa, bonke abantu , nezizwe, nezilimi bawa phansi , bakhuleka esithombeni segolide asimisile yo uNebukadinesari inkosi.

Athatha athi kuNebukadinesari inkosi: Mana njalo, nkosi.

UNebukadinesari inkosi kubo bonke abantu , nezizwe, nezilimi ezakhe emhlabeni wonke: ukuthula makuvame kinina.

Khona uDaniyeli ogama lakhe lalinguBeliteshasari wamangala isikhashana , imicabango yakhe ya mesabisa. Inkosi yathatha yathi : Beliteshasari, iphupho nencazo makungakwesabisi . UBeliteshasari waphendula wathi : Nkosi, iphupho malibe kwabakuzondayo, nencazo yalo kuzo izitha zakho.

Njengalokho inkosi yabona umlindi ongcwele ehla ezulwini , ethi: Gawula umuthi, uwuchithe, kepha shiya isiqu sezimpande zawo emhlabathini, sinesibopho sensimbi nesethusi , ohlazeni lwasendle, simanziswe ngamazolo ezulu, isabelo saso sibe nezilwane zasendle , kuze kudlule izikhathi eziyisikhombisa phezu kwaso,

nansi incazelo, nkosi: kuyisimemezelo soPhezukonke esiyehlele inkosi yami, inkosi,

Inkosi yathatha yathi: Angithi yileli Babele elikhulu engilakhile libe yindlu yobukhosi ngezikhwepha zamandla ami, libe ludumo lobukhosi bami, na?

Kalokhu-ke mina Nebukadinesari ngiyatusa , ngiyaphakamisa, ngiyidumisa iNkosi yezulu, ngokuba yonke imisebenzi yayo iyiqiniso , nezindlela zayo zingukwahlulela; abahamba ngokuzidla inamandla okubathobisa.

UBelishasari inkosi wenzel a izinduna zakhe eziyinkulungwane idili , waphuza iwayini ngaphambi kwaleyo nkulungwane.

Kukhona embusweni wakho umuntu okukuye umoya wawonkulunkulu abangcwele; ezinsukwini zikayihlo kwafunyanwa kuye ukukhanya nokuqonda nokuhlakanipha njengokuhlakanipha kwawonkulunkulu ; inkosi uNebukadinesari, uyihlo yambek a induna yezanusi , neyabathwebulayo, neyamaKaledi, neyabahlola imihlola, yebo, nkosi, uyihlo,

ngokuba kwafunyanwa umoya odluleleyo , nokwazi, nokuqonda ukuchaza amaphupho, nokubonakalisa izimfumbe , nokuthukulula amafindo kuye uDaniyeli lowo inkosi eyambiza ngokuthi uBeliteshasari; kalokhu makabizwe uDaniyeli, uyakubonakalisa incazelo.

Khona uDaniyeli wangeniswa phambi kwenkosi . Inkosi yakhuluma, yathi kuDaniyeli: Wena unguDaniyeli lowo ongowabathunjwa bakwaJuda , abalethwa yinkosi ubaba, bevela kwaJuda na?

Wayesephendula uDaniyeli, wathi phambi kwenkosi : Izipho zakho mazibe kuwe, umuphe omunye imivuzo yakho ; nokho ngiyakufundela inkosi umbhalo, ngiyazise incazelo.

UBelishasari esalinambitha iwayini wayaleza ukuba kulethwe izitsha zegolide nezesiliva , uNebukadinesari uyise ayezikhiphe ethempelini laseJerusalema, ukuba inkosi nez ikhulu zayo, nawomkayo, nezancinza zayo baphuze ngazo.

Base beletha izitsha zegolide ezazikhishwe ethempelini lendlu kaNkulunkulu yaseJerusalema, inkosi, nezikhulu zayo , nawomkayo, nezancinza zayo baphuza ngazo.

Ngalobo busuku uBelishasari inkosi yamaKaledi wabulawa.

Ngasona leso sikhathi kwavela iminwe yesandla somuntu , yaloba maqondana nothi lwezibani kokunamekiweyo kodonga lwendlu yenkosi ; inkosi yabona inxenye yesandla esalobayo.

Inkosi yamemeza ngamandla ukuba kulethwe abathwebulayo , namaKaledi, nabahlola imihlola . Yayisikhuluma inkosi , yathi kwabahlakaniphileyo baseBabele: Ongafunda lo mbhalo , angitshele incazelo yawo uyakwembathiswa okububende , abe nomgexo wegolide entanyeni yakhe , abuse engowesithathu embusweni.

Base bengena bonke abahlakaniphileyo benkosi , kepha behluleka ukuwufunda umbhalo nokwazisa inkosi incazelo.

Khona inkosi uBelishasari yesaba kakhulu , nokucwebezela kwayo kwaguquka kuyo, nezinduna zayo zamangala.

Asondela, akhuluma phambi kwenkosi ngesiyalezo senkosi , athi: Asithi ulobile isiyalezo sokuthi yilowo nalowo ocela nakumuphi unkulunk ulu noma kumuntu ngezinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu , kuphela kuwe nkosi , uyakuphonswa emphandwini wezingonyama na ? Inkosi yaphendula yathi : Iqinisile leyo nto ngokomthetho wamaMede namaPheresiya ongenakuguquka.

Lapho inkosi isizwile lawa mazwi , yadabuka kakhulu , yayibeka inhliziyo yayo kuDaniyeli ukuba imkhulule , yazama ukumophula kwaze kwaba sekushoneni kwelanga.

Yayisiyaleza inkosi , walethwa uDaniyeli , waphonswa emphandwini wezingonyama. Inkosi yakhuluma , yathi kuDaniyeli : UNkulunkulu wakho omkhonza njalo uyakukukhulula.

Kwase kulethwa itshe , labekwa emlonyeni womphandu , inkosi yalinamathelisa ngendandatho yayo nangendandatho yizikhulu zayo , ukuze kungaguqulwa lutho maqondana noDaniyeli.

Inkosi yase iya endlini yayo yobukhosi, yadlulisa ubusuku izila; izinkenezo zokubethwa azilethwanga kuyo, nobuthongo bayibalekela.

Inkosi yavuka ekuseni kakhulu , yashesha yaya emphandwini wezingonyama.

Phezu kwazo wamisa abongameli abathathu , uDaniyeli engomunye wabo , ukuba izikhulu zibike kubo, ukuze inkosi ingalimali ngalutho.

Kwathi isisondele emphandwini k uDaniyeli, yamemeza ngezwi elikhalayo ; inkosi yakhuluma , yathi kuDaniyeli : Daniyeli, wena nceku kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, uNkulunkulu wakho omkhonza njalo angakukhulula kuzo izingonyama na?

Yayisijabula kakhulu inkosi , yayaleza ukuba uDaniyeli akhushulwe emphandwini. UDaniyeli way esekhushulwa emphandwini , akufunyanwanga mcothu kuye, ngokuba wayemethembile uNkulunkulu wakhe.

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.

UDariyu inkosi wayeselobela bonke abantu , nezizwe, nezilimi ezikhona emhlabeni wonke ukuthi: Ukuthula makwande kinina.

Khona uDaniyeli lo wabadlula abongameli nezikhulu , ngokuba umoya ophakemeyo wawukuye ; inkosi yayicabanga ukummisa phezu kombuso wonke.

Ngokunjalo inkosi uDariyu yayisiloba umbhalo nesiyalezo.

Ngomnyaka wokuqala kaBelishasari, inkosi yaseBabele , uDaniyeli wabona iphupho nemibono yekhanda lakhe embhedeni wakhe , waliloba iphupho , walanda inhloko yezindaba.

Ekugcineni kokubusa kwayo, lapho izihlubuki seziphelele, inkosi elukhuni ngobuso, eqonda izimfumbe, iyakuvela.

Ngomnyaka wokuqala kaDariyu indodana ka-Ahashiveroshi, wozalo lwamaMede, owabekwa inkosi phezu kombuso wamaKaledi,

Ngase ngibhekisa ubuso bami kuyo iNkosi uNkulunkulu ukuba ngikhuleke , nginxuse ngokuzila ukudla, nangendwangu yamasaka, nangomlotha.

Kepha kuyo iNkosi , uNkulunkulu wethu , kukhona umusa nokuthethelela ; ngokuba simhlubukile,

nezibonakaliso zakhe, nezenzo zakhe owazenza phakathi kweGibithe kuFaro inkosi yaseGibithe nakulo lonke izwe lakhe,

Nxa ufikile ezweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona , ulidle, uhlale kulo , uthi: Ngiyakubeka inkosi phezu kwami njengazo zonke izizwe ezingizungezayo,

uyakumbeka nokumbeka abe yinkosi phezu kwakho yena uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ayakumkhetha ; uyakubeka omunye wabafowenu inkosi phezu kwakho, ungabeki phezu kwakho owezizwe, ongesiye umfowenu.

esenqobile uSihoni inkosi yama -Amori, owahlala eHeshiboni, no-Ogi inkosi yaseBashani, owahlala e-Ashitaroti ngase-Edireyi.

Ekufikeni kwenu kule ndawo uSihoni inkosi yaseHeshiboni no -Ogi inkosi yaseBashani basiphumela ukulwa, sabanqoba,

Sukani nihambe , niwele umfula i -Arinoni; bhekani, nginikele esandleni sakho uSihoni umAmori , inkosi yaseHeshiboni, nezwe lakhe: qala ukulidla, ulwe naye ekulweni.

Ngase ngithuma izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yaseHeshiboni , zisuka ehlane laseKedemoti, zinamazwi okuthula, ngokuthi:

Kepha uSihoni inkosi yaseHeshiboni akasivumelanga ukuba sidlule kuye , ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wenza lukhuni umoya wakhe , wenza ukuba ibe nenkani inhliziyo yakhe , ukuze amnikele esandleni sakho njenganamuhla.

Sase siphenduka sakhuphuka ngendlela eya eBashani ; u-Ogi inkosi yaseBashani waphuma wasihlasela , yena nabo bonke abantu bakhe , ukuzokulwa ngase-Edireyi.

Ngokuba u -Ogi kuphela , inkosi yase Bashani, wasala ensalini yamaRefa ; bheka, ibhokisi lakhe laliyibhokisi lensimbi ; angithi liseRaba kubantwana bakwa-Amoni; ubude balo babuyizingalo eziyisishiyagalolunye , nobubanzi balo buyizingalo ezine, ngokwengalo yomuntu.

Inkosi uSedekiya yathi kuJeremiya : Ngiyesaba abaJud a abahlubukele kumaKaledi, funa nginikelwe esandleni sabo, bangiklolodele.

Uma izikhulu zizwa ukuthi ngikhulumile nawe , bese zifika kuwe , zithi kuwe: Ake usitshele okukhulumileyo enkosini , ungasifihleli khona , asiyikukubulala, nalokho inkosi eyakukhuluma kuwe,

Zonke izikhulu zafika kuJeremiya , zambuza. Wazitshela onke lawa mazwi inkosi emyale ngawo. Zathula, zasuka kuye, ngokuba indaba ayizwakalanga.

USedekiya inkosi wayesethi : Bhekani, usesandleni senu , ngokuba inkosi ayinamandla okuphambana nani ngalutho.

U-Ebedi Meleki umKushe , umthenwa, owayesendlini yenkosi , esezwile ukuthi bamfake uJeremiya emgodini , inkosi ihlezi esangweni lakwaBenjamini,

Kwathi lapho iJerusalema selinqotshiwe ngomnyaka wesishiyagalolunye kaSedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda , ngenyanga yeshumi kwafika uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele , nempi yakhe yonke eJerusalema , walivimbezela;

UNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele , wamyala uNebuzaradani , induna yabalindi, ngoJeremiya, wathi:

Kepha impi yamaKaledi yabaxosha, yamfica uSedekiya emahlane aseJeriko , yambamba, yamkhuphulela kuNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele , eRibila ezweni laseHamati, wamahlulela.

Inkosi yaseBabe le yabulala amadodana kaSedekiya eRibila phambi kwamehlo akhe ; futhi inkosi yaseBabele yabulala bonke abakhulu bakwaJuda.

UJehova wathi kimi emihleni kaJosiya inkosi : Ubonile okwenziwe ngu - Israyeli ohlehlayo na ? Ukhuphukele kuzo zonke izintaba eziphakemeyo naphansi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza, wafeba khona.

Futhi lapho bonke abaJuda ababekwaMowabi , naphakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Amoni, nakwa-Edomi, nababesemazweni onke sebezwile ukuthi inkosi yaseBabele ishiyile insali kwa Juda nokuthi ibeke phezu kwabo uGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu kaShafani ukuba abe ngumbusi phezu kwabo,

Engakabuyi, yathi: Buyela kuGedaliya indodana ka -Ahikamu kaShafani , inkosi yaseBabele emenze abe ngumbusi phezu kwemizi yakwaJuda , uhlale naye p hakathi kwabantu ; noma lapho kulungile emehlweni akho ukuya khona, yiya lapho . Induna yabalindi yayisimnika umphako nesipho , yamvumela ukuba ahambe.

Zonke izinduna zempi ezazisendle , zona nabantu bazo , sezizwile ukuthi inkosi yaseBabele imenzile uGedaliya indodana ka -Ahikamu umbusi ezweni nokuthi inikele kuye abesilisa , nabesifazane, nabantwana, nabayizimpofana bezwe abangathunjelwanga eBabele,

UGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu kaShafani wafunga kubo nakubantu babo , wathi: Ningesabi ukukhonza amaKaledi : hlalani ezweni , niyikhonze inkosi yaseBabele, kuyakuba kuhle kini.

ngenxa yamaKaledi , ngokuba babewesaba , lokhu u -Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya ebembulele uGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu, inkosi yaseBabele eyamenza umbusi ezweni.

Inkosi yaseBabele izwile udumo lwabo , izandla zayo zaba buthakathaka ; usizi luyibambile, nemihelo njengeyobelethayo.

Isigijimi siyagijma , sihlangane nesinye, umbiki uhlangana nombik i ukutshela inkosi yaseBabele ukuthi umuzi wayo unqotshiwe nxazonke.

UNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabel e ungidlile wangiqeda ; ungenze isitsha esingenalutho, wangigwinya njengodrako ; ugcwalisile isisu sakhe ngokumnandi kwami, wangixosha.

Izwi uJeremiya umprofethi ayala ngalo uSeraya indodana kaNeriya kaMakhaseya ekuhambeni kwakhe noSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda eya eBabele ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kwakhe . USeraya wayeyisikhulu sezindawo zokuphumula.

Inkosi yaseBabele yabulala amadodana kaSedekiya phambi kwamehlo akhe; yabulala nazo zonke izikhulu zakwaJuda eRibila.

Yakhipha namehlo kaSedekiya ; inkosi yaseBabele yambopha ngamaketanga, yamyisa eBabele , yamfaka etilongweni kwaze kwaba sosukwini lokufa kwakhe.

Ngenyanga yesihlanu , ngolweshumi lwenyanga okwakungumnyaka weshumi nesishiyag alolunye wenkosi uNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele , kwafika uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi , inceku yenkosi yaseBabele , eJerusalema.

Inkosi yaseBabele yabashaya, yababulala eRibila ezweni laseHamati . Wathunjwa kanjalo uJuda ezweni lakubo.

Ngokuba kwenzeka lok ho eJerusalema nakwaJuda ngenxa yentukuthe lo kaJehova, waze wabalahla ebusweni bakhe ; uSedekiya wayihlubuka inkosi yaseBabele.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesikhombisa wokuthunjwa kukaJehoyakini, inkosi yakwaJuda , ngenyanga yeshumi nambili , ngolwamashumi amabili nanhlanu lwenyanga , u-Evili Merodaki inkosi yaseBabele ngomnyaka wokuqala wokubusa kwakhe waphakamisa ikhanda likaJehoyakini inkosi yakwaJuda, wamkhipha etilongweni,

Ayeseyibamba inkosi , ayenyusela enkosini yaseBabele eRibila ezweni laseHamati, ayahlulela.

Ngalokho isho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu , ithi: Bheka, intukuthelo yami nokufutheka kwami kuyakuthululwa kule ndawo phezu kwabantu , naphezu kwezinkomo, naphezu kwemithi yasendle , naphezu kwezithelo zomhlaba , kuvuthe kungacimi.

Bheka, izwi lokukhala kwendodakazi yabantu bam i livela ezweni elikude , lithi: Akakho uJehova eSiyoni na ? Ayikho inkosi yalo kulo na ? Bangicunuleleni ngezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo nangokuyize kwabezizwe na?

Wathi kubantu : Bhekani, ukwesaba iNkosi lokhu kungukuhlakanipha ; ukusuka ebubini kungukuqonda.

Kwathi lapho u -Adoni Sedeki inkosi yaseJerusalema esezwile ukuthi uJoshuwa uthathile i -Ayi, waliqeda nya njengalokho ebenzile kulo iJeriko nenkosi yalo , wayenze njalo kulo i -Ayi nenkosi yalo no kuthi abakhileyo eGibeyoni benzile ukuthula no-Israyeli, baba phakathi kwabo,

Khona kwakhuphuka uHoramu inkosi yaseGezeri ukuba asize iLakishi ; kepha uJoshuwa wambulala nabantu bakhe , akaze amshiyela noyedwa owasalayo.

walithatha kanye nenkosi yalo nayo yonke imizi yalo , bayichitha ngosiko lwenkemba. Baqothula bonke ababekulo , akashiyanga noyedwa owasalayo ; njengalokho ebenzile kulo iHebroni , wenze njalo kulo iDebiri nakuyo inkosi yalo, njengalokho ebenzile nakulo iLibina nakuyo inkosi yalo.

Ngalokho amakhosi ayisihlanu ama -Amori, inkosi yaseJerusalema, nenkosi yaseHebroni, nenkosi yaseJarimuthi , nenkosi yaseLakishi , nenkosi yase - Egiloni, ahlangana, akhuphuka, wona nawo onke amabandla awo , amisa malungana neGibeyoni, alwa nalo.

Umkhawulo wabo wasuka eMahanayimi : lonke iBashani , wonke umbuso ka-Ogi inkosi yaseBashani , nayo yon ke imizi yeJayire eseBashani , imizi engamashumi ayisithupha,

Kwase kuvuka uBalaki indodana kaSipori , inkosi yakwaMowabi, walwa no- Israyeli; wathuma wabiza uBileyamu indodana kaBeyori ukuba aniqalekise,

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

UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa : Ungesabi, ungabi naluvalo ; suka nabo bonke abantu bempi, ukhuphuke uye e-Ayi; bheka, nginikele esandleni sakho inkosi yase-Ayi, nabantu bayo, nomuzi wayo, nezwe layo;

nakho konke akwenza kuwo amakhosi omabili ama-Amori ayengaphesheya kweJordani, uSihoni inkosi yaseHeshiboni no -Ogi inkosi yaseBashani , eyayise-Ashitaroti.

Makaqalekiswe okhohlisayo , okukhona emhlambini wakhe i duna, kanti athembise, ahlabele iNkosi okonakeleyo ; ngokuba ngiyinkosi enkulu , usho uJehova Sebawoti, negama lami liyesabeka phakathi kwezizwe.

Kepha lapho uSanebalati , umHoroni, noThobiya inceku yakwa -Amoni, noGeshemi wase -Arabiya bezwa lokho , basihleka usulu , basidelela, bathi: Yini lokhu enikwenzayo na? Niyakuyihlubuka inkosi na?

Inkosi yathi kimi : Ubuso bakho bubipheleni , lokhu ungaguli , na? Lokhu kungukudabuka kwenhliziyo kuphela. Ngase ngesaba kakhulu.

Ngathi enkosini: Mayime njalo inkosi; ubuso bami bungebiphe ngani, lapho umuzi, indawo yamathuna awobaba , uchithekile n amasango awo eshiswe ngomlilo, na?

Yayisithi inkosi kimi : Ukhala ngani ? Ngase ngikhuleka kuNkulunkulu wezulu.

Inkosi yathi kimi, inkosikazi ihlezi eceleni kwayo: Uhambo lwakho luyakuba yisikhathi esingakanani , nokubuya kuyakuba nini na ? Kwaba kuhle -ke enkosini ukuvuma ukuba ngihambe; ngayitshela isikhathi esithile.

kanye nencwadi ku -Asafa umlindihlathi lenkosi ukuba anginike imithi yemishayo yamasango enqaba ehlangene nethempeli , neyongange lomuzi , neyendlu engiyakungena kuyo . Inkosi yanginika lokhu ngokwesandla esihle sikaNkulunkulu wami esasiphezu kwami.

Ngase ngifika kubabusi phesheya koMfula , ngabanika izincwadi zenkosi . Inkosi yayithume nami izinduna zempi nabamahhashi.

Lapho sengibhekile, ngasuka ngathi kwabakhulu nakubabusi nakwabanye abantu: Ningabesabi; khumbulani iNkosi enkulu neyesabekayo , nilwele abafowenu, namadodana enu , namadodakazi enu , nawomkenu, nezindlu zenu.

Futhi kusukela osukwini engamiswa ngalo ukuba ngibe ngumbusi wabo ezweni lakwaJuda , kwasemnyakeni wamashumi amabili kuze kube semnyakeni wamashumi amathathu nambili ka -Aritahishashita inkosi , iminyaka eyishumi nabili, mina nabafowethu asidlanga isinkwa sombusi.

Nampa abantwana bezwe abakhuphuka ekuthunjweni kubo ababethunjwe nguNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele , babuyela eJerusalema nakwaJuda , kwaba yilowo nalowo emzini wakubo,

Wabanika imibuso nezizwe owababela khona izindawo ngezindawo ; badla izwe likaSihoni , izwe lenkosi yaseHeshiboni , nezwe lika -Ogi inkosi yaseBashani.

UmKhanani, inkosi yase -Aradi, owayakhe eningizimu , wezwa ukuthi u - Israyeli uyeza ngendlela yase -Atarimi; walwa no-Israyeli, wathumba abanye kubo.

U-Israyeli wathuma izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, wathi:

Ngokuba iHeshiboni lalingumuzi kaSihoni inkosi yama -Amori owayelwile nenkosi endala yakwaMowabi , wathatha lonke izwe lakhe esandleni sakhe kwaze kwafika e-Arinoni.

Maye kuwena Mowabi ! Niphelile, nina bantu bakaKemoshi ; unikele amadodana akhe abe ngababaleki , namadodakazi akhe athunjwe kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori.

Baphenduka, bakhuphuka ngendlela yaseBashani; u-Ogi inkosi yaseBashani waphuma, wabasukela, yena nabo bonke abantu bakhe , ukuyokulwa ngase- Edireyi.

UJehova wathi kuMose: Ningamesabi, ngokuba ngimnikele esandleni sakho kanye nabantu bakhe bonke nezwe lakhe ; uyakwenza kuye njengalokho wenza kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori owahlala eHeshiboni.

UBileyamu wathi kuNkulunkulu: UBalaki indodana kaSipori , inkosi yakwaMowabi, uthumile kimi wathi:

Wayesethatha isisho sakhe , wathi: E-Aramu uBalaki ungilandile , inkosi yakwaMowabi ezintabeni zasempumalanga : woza ungiqalekisele uJakobe ; woza umdlelesele u-Israyeli.

Amanzi ayakugobhoza , aphume ezimbizeni zakhe , imbewu yakhe ibe semanzini amaningi , inkosi yakhe ibe nkulu kuno -Agagi, umbuso wakhe uphakame.

Abantwana bakwaGadi nabantwana bakwaRubeni bakhuluma kuMose , bathi: Izinceku zakho ziyakwenza njengalokhu inkosi yami iyala.

kepha izinceku zakho ziyakuwela , kube yilowo nalowo ohlomele ukulwa , phambi kukaJehova, ziphume impi, njengalokhu isho inkosi yami.

UMose wayesebanika abantwana bakwaGadi nabantwana bakwaRubeni nenxenye yesizwe sakwaManase indodana kaJosefa umbuso kaSihoni inkosi yama-Amori nombuso ka -Ogi inkosi yaseBashani , izwe nemizi yalo namaphethelo ayo, imizi yezwe nxazonke.

UmKhanani, inkosi yase-Aradi, owahlala eningizimu ezweni laseKhanani, wezwa ngokufika kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

zathi: UJehova wayiyala inkosi yami ukubanika abantwana bakwa -Israyeli izwe libe yifa labo ngenkatho ; inkosi yami yayalwa futhi nguJehova ukuba ifa likaSelofehadi umfowethu iwanike lona amadodakazi akhe.

Niyakubalekela esigodini sezintaba za mi, ngokuba isigodi sezintaba siyakufinyelela e -Aseli, yebo, niyakubaleka njengalokho nabalekela ukuzamazama komhlaba ngezinsuku zika -Uziya inkosi yakwaJuda ; lapho kuzakufika uJehova uNkulunkulu wami nabo bonke abangcwele kanye nawe.

UJehova abesebonakala phezu kwabo , umcibisholo wakhe uphume njengonyazi; iNkosi uJehova iyakubetha icilongo , ihambe ngezivunguvungu zaseningizimu.

Bheka, iNkosi iyakulaphuca , iphonse imfuyo yalo elwandle , lona lidliwe ngumlilo.

I-Ashikeloni liyakukubona, lesabe, neGaza futhi, bese lithuthumela kakhulu, kanye ne -Ekroni, ngokuba ukwethemba kwalo kuyakujabha ; inkosi iyakubhubha eGaza, ne-Ashikeloni aliyikuhlalwa.

Ngiyakumisa ngibe yinqaba yendlu yami , ukuze kungabikho odlula yo nobuyayo; akusayikudlula mcindezeli kubo , ngokuba sengibonile ngawami amehlo. INkosi yaseSiyoni

Thokoza kakhulu , ndodakazi yaseSiyoni ; jabula nokujabula , ndodakazi yaseJerusalema; bheka, iNkosi yakho iza kuwe , ilungile, inensindiso, ithobekile, ikhwele imbongolo, ithole, inkonyane yembongolokazi.

Ngase ngiphenduka ukuba ngibone ukuhlakanipha, nokuhlanya, nobuwula, ngokuba angenzani umuntu olandela inkosi ngaphandle kwalokho okwenziweyo ngaphambili na?
