Wabuya ekumlandeleni , wathatha izinkabi zombili , wazihlaba, wapheka inyama yazo ngempahla yezinkabi , wabapha abantu , badla. Wayesesuka, wamlandela u-Eliya, wamkhonza.

ngokuba, Yonke inyama injengotshani , nobukhosi bayo bonke bunjengembali yotshani ; utshani buyabuna , nembali iyavuthuluka , kepha izwi leNkosi limi kuze kube phakade.

Inyama yon ke ayinhlobonye , kepha enye ngeyabantu , enye yinyama yezilwane, enye yinyama yezinyoni, enye ngeyezinhlanzi.

Kepha ngisho lokhu , bazalwane, ukuthi inyama negazi akunakulidla ifa elingumbuso kaNkulunkulu; nokubola akulidli ifa elingukungaboli.

UmFilisti wathi kuDavide : Woza kimi , nginike izinyoni zezulu nezilwane zasendle inyama yakho.

Kwakungumthetho wabap risti kubantu ukuba , nxa umuntu enikela ngomhlatshelo, kufike inceku yompristi inyama isabila , iphethe ngesandla ingwegwe emazinyo mathathu,

Yebo, bengakashisi amanoni , yafika inceku yompristi , yathi kumuntu ohlabayo: Letha inyama yokoselwa umpristi , ngokuba akayikuthatha kuwe inyama ephekiweyo kepha eluhlaza.

Wakhuphuka, walala phezu komntwana , wabeka umlomo wakhe phezu komlomo wakhe, namehlo akhe phezu kwamehlo akhe , nezandla zakhe phezu kwezandla zakhe ; lapho esekhothama phezu kwakhe , inyama yomntwana yafudumala.

U-Elisha wathuma isithunywa kuye ngokuthi : Hamba ugeze kasikhombisa eJordani; kuyakuthi inyama ibuyele kuwe, uhlambuluke.

Wayesehla, wazicwilisa kasikhombisa eJordani njengezwi lomuntu kaNkulunkulu; inyama yakhe yabuya yaba njengenyama yomntwana omncane, wahlambuluka.

Babuya, bamtshela. Wathi: Nanti izwi likaJehova owalikhuluma n gesandla senceku yakhe u-Eliya waseThishibi, ethi: Esiqeshini sezwe laseJizreyeli izinja ziyakuyidla inyama ka-Izebeli;

Ngokuba nasekufikeni kwethu eMakedoniya inyama yethu ayib anga nakuphumula, kodwa sakhathazeka nxazonke ; ngaphandle kwakukhona ukulwa, ngaphakathi ukwesaba.

UGideyoni wangena , walungisa izinyane lembuzi namaqebelengwane angenamvubelo e -efa lempuphu ; wayibeka inyama eqomeni , wawuthela umhluzi ekhanzini, wakukhiphela kuye phansi kwe-oki, wakunikela.

Ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yathi kuye : Thatha inyama namaqebelengwane angenamvubelo, ukubeke edwaleni leli, uwuthulule umhluzi. Wenze njalo.

Ingelosi kaJehova yase yelula isihloko sentonga esesan dleni sayo, yathinta inyama namaqebelengwane angenamvubelo ; kwenyuka umlilo edwaleni , wadla waqeda inyama namaqebelengwane angenamvubelo ; ingelosi kaJehova yayisimuka emehlweni akhe.

UGideyoni wathi : Ngalokho nxa uJehova enikele oZeba noSalimuna esandleni sami , ngiyakuklebhula inyama yenu ngameva asehlane nangamazinyo ezinqola zokubhula.

Inyama yami iyathuthumela ngovalo ngawe, ngiyesaba izahlulelo zakho.

onika inyama yonke ukudla, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade.

Umlomo wami uy akukhuluma udumo lukaJehova, inyama yonke ibonge igama lakhe elingcwele kuze kube phakade.

Ekusondeleni kwababi ukuba badle inyama yam i abamelene nami nezitha zami bayakhubeka, bawe.

Ngiyakudla yini inyama yezinkunzi, ngiphuze igazi lezimpongo, na?

KuNkulunkulu ngiyakudumisa izwi lakhe ; ngithemba uNkulunkulu , angiyikwesaba; inyama ingangenzani na?

Nkulunkulu, wena unguNkulunkulu wami , ngiyakufuna ekuseni ; umphefumulo wami womele wena ; inyama yami ilangazelela wen a ezweni elomileyo eligagadekileyo, lapho amanzi engekho khona.

Inyama yami nenhliziyo yami iyaphela ; nokho uNkulunkulu uyidwala lenhliziyo yami nesabelo sami kuze kube phakade.

Bhekani, washaya idwala , kwaphuma amanzi , nemifula yampompoza ; kepha angabanika nesinkwa, alungisele abantu bakhe inyama, na?

Wawisa phezu kwabo inyama njengothuli , nezinyoni ezinamaphiko njengesihlabathi solwandle.

Bazinikile izidumbu zezinceku zakh o zibe ngukudla kwezinyoni zezulu , inyama yabakwesabayo kuzo izilo zomhlaba.

igolide lenu nesiliva kugwalile , nokugwala kwakho kuyakuba ngufakazi ngakini, kudle inyama yenu njengomlilo . Niqongelele ingcebo ezinsukwini zokuphela.

njengokuba iSodoma neGomora nemizi yangakhona yenza ubufebe ngendlela efana neyayo, yalandela inyama imbe imisiwe ibe yisiboniso , izwa isijeziso somlilo omiyo njalo.

Nokho ngokunjalo -ke nalabo abaphuphayo bangcolisa inyama , bayeyisa imibuso, bahlambalaza ubukhosi.

Izimpondo eziyishumi owazibonayo , nesilo, lezi ziyakusizonda isifebe , zisenze incithakalo, sibe yize, zidle inyama yaso, zisishise ngomlilo, zisiqede;

ukuba nidle inyama yamakhosi, nenyama yezinduna, nenyama yamaqhawe, nenyama yamahhashi neyabakhwele kuwo , nenyama yabo bonke abakhululekileyo nabayizigqila, abancane nabakhulu.

Nabaseleyo babulawa ngenkemba ephuma emlonyeni wakhe owayehlezi ehhashini, nezinyoni zonke zasutha inyama yabo.

Ugugisile inyama yami nesikhumba sami, waphula amathambo ami.

Umuntu onesihawu wenzela okuhle umphefumulo wakhe , kepha ononya uhlupha inyama yakhe.

Kuyakuthi ezinsukwini zokuphela , kusho uNkulunkulu , ngiyakuthulula uMoya wam i phezu kwayo yonke inyama ; amadodana enu namadodakazi enu ayakuprofetha, izinsizwa zenu zibone imibono , abadala benu baphuphe amaphupho;

ngendlela asivulela yona , indlela entsha ephilayo , edabula isihenqo , okungukuthi inyama yakhe,

Ngokuba akakho owake w azonda eyakhe inyama , kepha uyayondla, ayiphathe kahle, njengalokhu noKristu enza kulo ibandla;

Ngokuba inyama ikhanuka okuphambene noMoya, kepha uMoya ukhanuka okuphambene nenyama ; ngokuba lezi zinto ziyamelana , ukuze ningenzi lokho enikuthandayo.

Kepha abakaKristu Jesu babethele esiphambanweni inyama kanye nokuhuheka nezinkanuko.

Ngokuba ohlwanyelela inyama yakhe uyakuvuna ukubhubha kuyo inyama ; kepha ohlwanyelela uMoya uyakuvuna ukuphila okuphakade kuMoya.

kodwa yembathani iNkosi uJesu Kristu , ninganakekeli inyama kuvuswe izinkanuko.

Kuhle ukungayidli inyama nokungaliphuzi iwayini noma okunye umzalwane wakho aqhuzuka ngakho.

Ngalokho-ke, bazalwane, asinacala kuyo inyama lokuba sihambe ngokwenyama.

Base bephikisana bodwa abaJuda , bethi: Lo angasinika kanjani inyama yakhe, siyidle, na?

Khona uJesu wathi kubo: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Uma ningayidli inyama yeNdodana yomuntu , niphuze igazi layo , aninakuphila phakathi kwenu.

Odla inyama yami , aphuze igazi lami , unokuphila okuphakade ; mina ngiyakumvusa ngomuhla wokuphela.

Ngokuba inyama yami ingukudla isibili, negazi lami lingukuphuza isibili.

Odla inyama yami, aphuze igazi lami, uhlala kimi, nami kuye.

NguMoya ophilisayo , inyama ayisizi lutho ; amazwi engiwakhulume kini angumoya, angukuphila.

inyama yonke izakubona insindiso kaNkulunkulu.

Lindani, nikhuleke ukuba ningangeni ekulingweni; umoya uyavuma, kepha inyama ibuthakathaka.

UJesu waphendula, wathi kuye: Ubusisiwe wena Simoni kaJona, ngokuba inyama negazi akukwambulelanga lokhu kodwa uBaba osezulwini.

Lindani, nikhuleke ukuba ningangeni ekulingweni; umoya uyavuma, kepha inyama ibuthakathaka.

Bazakuyidla inyama ngalobo busuku , yosiwe ngomlilo ; bayakuyidla kanye nesinkwa esingenamvubelo nemifino ebabayo.

Ngizwile izinkonono zabantwana bakwa -Israyeli; khuluma kubo , uthi: Ngakusihlwa niyakudla inyama , kusasa nisuthe isinkwa , nize nazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

UMose wathi : Lokhu kuzakwenzeka , lapho uJehova eyakuninika inyama kusihlwa ukuba nidle , nasekuseni isinkwa ukuze nisuthe ; ngokuba uJehova uyezwa izinkonono zenu enikhonona ngaye ng azo; thina siyini? Izinkonono zenu azingathi, zingoJehova.

Uma inkabi iqhubukusha owesilisa noma owesifazane baze bafe , inkabi yokhandwa ngamatshe impela , inyama yayo ingadliwa ; kepha umnininkabi uyakuyekelwa.

Ubenzele namabhulukwe elineni ukuba kusitshekelwe inyama yobunqunu babo, aqale okhalweni, afike emathangeni;

Kepha inyama yenkunzi, nesikhumba sayo, nomswani wayo, uyakukushisa ngomlilo ngaphandle kwekamu; kungumnikelo wesono.

Woyithabatha inqama yokwahlukaniselwa, upheke inyama yayo endaweni engcwele.

U-Aroni namadodana akhe bayakuyidla inyama yenqama nesinkwa esiseqomeni ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana,

Uma kusala inyama yokwahlu kaniselwa kuze kuse noma isinkwa , ukushise okuseleyo ngomlilo, kungadliwa, ngokuba kungcwele.

kepha bheka , nakhu ukujabula , nokuthokoza, nokubulala izinkabi , nokuhlaba izimvu , ukudla inyama nokuphuza iwayini , ngokuthi: Masidle, siphuze, ngokuba ngomuso sizakufa.

Inkazimulo kaJehova iyakubonakaliswa, yonke inyama ikubone kanyekanye, ngokuba umlomo kaJehova ukhulumile.

Izwi liyakhuluma lithi : Memeza! Ngathi: Ngiyakumemezani na ? Inyama yonke ingutshani, bonke ubuhle bayo bunjengembali yasendle.

Ushisa inxenye yawo emlilweni ; phezu kwale nxenye uyadla inyama , ose izoso, asuthe; yebo, uyotha athi: Halala! Sengifudumele, ngibonile umlilo.

Akakho okhumbulayo , nokwazi nokuqonda akukho kokuba kuthiwe : Ngishisile inxenye yawo ngomlilo , ngenzile isinkwa phezu kwamala hle awo, ngosile inyama , ngayidla; ngingenza okuseleyo kuwo kube yisinengiso , ngikhothamele umbhuku womuthi, na?

Ngiyakudlisa abacindezeli bakho inyama yabo , badakwe yigazi labo njengangewayini elimnandi ; inyama yonke iyakwaz i ukuthi mina Jehov a nginguMsindisi wakho, noMhlengi wakho, uMninimandla kaJakobe.

abahlala emathuneni , balale ezindaweni ezisithekileyo , badle inyama yezingulube, benomhluzi wezinto ezinengekayo ezitsheni zabo,

Ngokuba uJehova uyakwahlulel a inyama yonke ngomlilo nangenkemba ; ababulawayo nguJehova bayakuba baningi.

Abazingcwelisa, bazihlambululele ukungena ezivandeni belandela omiyo egcekeni, bedla inyama yezingulube , nezinengiso, nezimpuku, bayakuphela kanyekanye, usho uJehova.

Kusukela ekwethwaseni kwenyanga kuye kwenye, kusukela kwelinye isabatha kuye kwelinye yonke inyama iyakufika ukukhuleka phambi kwami , usho uJehova.

Bayakuphuma, babone izidumbu zabantu abaphambukile kimi , ngokuba impethu yabo ayiyikufa nomlilo wabo awuyikucima , babe yisinengiso kuyo yonke inyama.

Umuntu uyahlwitha ngakweso kunene, abe esalambile nokho , adle ngakwesokhohlo, kepha angasuthi; bayakudla, kube yilowo nalowo inyama yengalo yakhe,

Bheka, esinye isilo, esesibili, sinjengebhere, samiswa ngolunye uhlangothi , izimbambo ezintathu zisemlonyeni waso phakathi kwamazinyo aso ; kwathiwa kuso: Vuka, udle inyama eningi.

Nokho ungahlaba, udle inyama ngaphakathi kwawo onke amasango akho njengesifiso somphefumulo wakho nanjengesibusiso sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akuphe sona ; ongcolileyo nohlambulukileyo bangadla kukho njengokwensephe nokwendluzele.

Lapho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho eyakwandisa umkhawulo wa kho njengokukwethembisa kwakhe , uze uthi : Ngiyakudla inyama , lokhu umphefumulo wakho ufisa ukudla inyama , ungayidla inyama njengesifiso sonke somphefumulo wakho.

unikele ngeminikelo yakho yokushiswa, inyama negazi, e-altare likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, igazi lemihlatshelo yakho lithululwe phe zu kwe-altare likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, wena uyidle inyama.

nengulube, ngokuba iyahlukanisa inselo , ingetshisi kodwa ; ingcolile kini ; aniyikuyidla inyama yazo, ningathinti izidumbu zazo.

Uyakudla inzalo yesakho isisu, inyama yamadodana akho neyamadodakazi akho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunike wona ekuvinjezelweni nasekuxinekeni izitha zakho eziyakukuxina ngakho.

ukuba angabaniki inyama yabantwana bakhe abadlayo ngokuba engasalelwanga lutho olunye ekuvinjezelweni nasekuxinekeni eziyakukuxina ngakho izitha zakho kuwo onke amasango akho.

Ngiyakudakisa imicibisholo yami ngegazi , inkemba yami idle inyama, ngegazi lababuleweyo nelabathunjwa , kuqala kuwo amakhanda abaholi bezitha.

Niyakusoka inyama yejwabu lenu, kube luphawu lwesivumelwano phakathi kwami nani.

U-Abrahama wathatha u -Ishmayeli indodana yakhe , nabo bonke ababezelwe endlini yakhe, nabo bonke ababethengwe ngemali yakhe , bonke abesilisa phakathi kwaba ntu bendlu ka -Abrahama, wasoka inyama yejwabu labo ngalona lolo suku, njengalokho uNkulunkulu emtshelile.

U-Isaka wamthanda u-Esawu, ngokuba wayedla inyama yenyamazane yakhe; uRebeka wamthanda uJakobe.

zingakadluli izinsuku ezintathu , uFaro uzakuphakamisa ikhanda lakho , alisuse kuwe , akuphanyeke emthini ; izinyoni ziyakudla inyama y akho, ziyisuse kuwe.

UNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi umhlaba wonakele , ngokuba inyama yonke yayonakalisile indlela yayo emhlabeni. Ukumenyezelwa kukazamcolo

Mina, bheka, mina ngizakuzisa uzamcolo wamanzi emhlabeni ukuba achithe yonke inyama okukuyo umoya wokuphila phansi kwezulu ; konke okusemhlabeni kuzakufa.

Inyama yonke eyayihamba emhlabeni yafa , izinyoni, nezinkomo, nezilo, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni, nabantu bonke;

Khona ngiyakukhumbula isivumelwano esiphakathi kwami nani nazo zonke izilwane eziphilayo zenyama yonke ; amanzi awasayikuba nguzamcolo wokuchitha inyama yonke.

UNkulunkulu wathi kuNowa : Lokhu kuluphawu lwesivumelwano engisenzile phakathi kwami nayo yonke inyama esemhlabeni.

Kepha inyama okukuyo umphefumulo wayo , okungukuthi igazi layo , aniyikuyidla.

Uma umuntu ephethe inyama engcwele emphethweni wengubo yakhe , ethinta ngomphetho wakhe isinkwa , noma ukudla , noma iwayini , noma amafutha, noma yikuphi ukudla, kuyakuba ngcwele na ? Abapristi baphendula bathi: Qha.

Inyama yonke iyakubona ukuthi mina Jehova ngiwuphembile , awuyikucimeka.

Ngenxa yokuba ngiyakunquma kuwe abalungileyo nababi , ngalokho inkemba yami iyakuphuma emgodleni wayo , iphumele inyama yonke kusukela eningizimu kuye enyakatho.

Yonke inyama iyakwazi ukuthi mina Jehova ngihosh ile inkemba emgodleni wayo, ayisayikubuya.

Fumbela izinkuni , ukhwezele umlilo , uqede inyama, wome umhluzi, amathambo ashiswe.

Ngiyakubeka inyama yakho ezintabeni , ngigcwalise izigodi ngezidumbu zakho.

Ngiyakubeka imisipha phezu kwenu , ngihlumise inyama phezu kwenu , nginimboze ngesikhumba, nginike umoya, niphile, nazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

Wena ndodana yomuntu, isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Yisho ezinyonini zezinhlobo zonke nasezilwaneni zasendle, uthi: Buthani, nifike, nihlanganyele umhlatshelo wami nxazonke engiwuhlaba ngenxa yenu , umhlatshelo omkhulu ezintabeni zakwa-Israyeli, ukuba nidle inyama, niphuze igazi.

Niyakudla inyama yamaqhawe , niphuze igazi lez ikhulu zomhlaba , elezinqama, nelamawundlu, nelezimbuzi, nelezinkunzi, ezikhulupheleyo zaseBashani zonke.

Izingwegwe, ubude bazo bungububanzi besandla , zazifakiwe ngaphakathi nxazonke; ematafuleni kwakukhona inyama yomnikelo.

Imihlatshelo yeminikelo yami bayihlaba , bayidle inyama, kepha uJehova akayenameli. Useyakhumbula ububi babo , abahambele ngezono zabo , babuyele eGibithe.

Othandiweyo wami unani endlini yami lapho enza amacebo nabaningi na? Inyama engcwele ingavela kuwe, lokhu ujabula ngokwenza okubi, na?

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Uqalekisiwe umuntu othemba kubantu , ayenze inyama ibe yingalo yakhe, nonhliziyo yakhe isuka kuJehova.

Ngiyakubadlisa inyama yamadodana abo neyamadodakazi abo, badle, kube yilowo nalowo inyama yomngane wakhe, ekuvinjezelweni nasekuxinekeni eziyakubaxina ngakho izitha zabo nabafuna ukuphila kwabo.

Umsindo uyakufinyelela emkhawulweni womhlaba , ngokuba uJehova uyamelana nezizwe ; uyahlulela inyama yonke , kepha ababi uy akubanikela enkembeni, usho uJehova.

Uyazifunela izinto ezinkulu na ? Ungazifuni, ngokuba bheka , ngiyakwehlisela inyama yonke okubi , usho uJehova , ngikunike ukuphila kwakho kube yimpango ezindaweni zonke lapho uya khona.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli: Thasiselani iminikelo yenu yokushiswa emihlatshelweni yenu, nidle inyama.

Bengiyakuyithathelani inyama yami ngamazinyo ami , ngibeke ukuphila kwami esandleni sami, na?

Inyama yakhe iyezwa ubuhlungu bayo kuphela ; umphefumulo wakhe uzidabukela wona kuphela.

Lapho ngikhumbula nje , ngishaywa luvalo ; ukwesaba kubamba inyama yami.

Inyama yakhe iyadliwa , ingabe isabonwa ; amathambo akhe akade engabonakali aseqhamukile.

inyama yakhe ibe ntsha kuneyomntwana, abuyele emihleni yobusha bakhe,

inyama yonke ibiyakufa kanyekanye, umuntu abuyele othulini.

Pho, amandla ami angamandla amatshe yini? Inyama yami iyithusi na?

Inyama yami yembesiwe izimpethu namagade othuli ; isikhumba sami siyaphola, sibuye sibhicike.

Kuyakuthi ngasemuva ngithulule uMoya wami phezu k wayo yonke inyama; amadodana enu namadodakazi enu ayakuprofetha , abadala benu baphuphe amaphupho, izinsizwa zenu zibone imibono;

Zoba yisinengiso kini; ningadli inyama yazo; izidumbu zazo ziyakunengeka kini.

Ningadli inyama yazo, ningathinti izidumbu zazo; zingcolile kini.

Ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili inyama yejwabu lakhe iyakusokwa.

umpristi abheke; bheka, uma kukhona idunguza elimhlophe esikhumben i, liphendulile uboya baba mhlophe , nanxa kukhona inyama ebomvu edunguzeni,

umpristi wobheka ; uma uchoko lusibekele yonke inyama yakhe , bheka, uyakusho athi onesifo uhlambulukile ; konke kuphendukile kwaba mhlophe : uhlambulukile.

Kepha njalo uma kuvela kuye inyama ebomvu, uyakuba ngongcolile.

Umpristi uyakubheka inyama ebomvu, asho athi ungcolile; inyama ebomvu ingcolile, iluchoko.

Uma-ke inyama ebomvu ibuye iphenduka ibe mhlophe, makaye kumpristi,

Nxa inyama ibinethumba esikhumbeni sayo, selaphola,

Nxa inyama inesibazi esikhumbeni sayo , inyama ebomvu yesibazi iphenduke ibala elikhanyayo, limhlophe libomvana noma limhlophe nje,

Othinta inyama yocucuzayo uyakuhlanza izingubo zakhe , ageze ngamanzi, abe ngongcolile kuze kuhlwe.

Niyakudla inyama yamadodana enu , nenyama yamadodakazi enu niyakuyidla.

Isikhumba senkunzi, nayo yonke inyama yayo , nenhloko yayo, namanqina ayo, nezibilini zayo, nomswani wayo,

Konke okuyakuthinta inyama yawo kuyakuba ngcwele; nxa ingubo ifafazwa ngegazi lawo, lapho kufafazwe khona uyakukugeza endaweni engcwele.

Inyama yomhlatshelo weminikelo yakhe yokuthula ongowokubonga iyakudliwa ngosuku lokunikela kwakhe, angashiyi lutho lwayo kuze kuse.

Uma inyama yomhlatshelo weminikelo yakhe yokuthula idliwa ngosuku lwesithathu, ayiyikwamukeleka, ingabalelwa kuye owanikela ngayo ; iyakunengeka, nomuntu oyidlayo uyakuthwala ububi bakhe.

Inyama ethinta into engcolileyo ayinakudliwa , kepha iyakushiswa ngomlilo; nokho le nyama-ke bonke abahlambulukileyo bangayidla.

Kodwa umuntu oyidla inyama yomhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula engekaJehova esenakho ukungcola kwakhe , lowo mu ntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.

Nanxa umuntu ethinta into engcolileyo, ukungcola komuntu noma isilwane esingcolileyo noma into engcolileyo enengekayo , adle inyama yomhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula engekaJehova, lowo muntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.

Wayeseyihlahlela inyama izitho; uMose washisa inhloko nezitho namanoni.

Wathi uMose ku -Aroni nakumadodana akhe : Phekani inyama ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana , niyidle kanye nesinkwa esiseqomeni lokwahlukaniselwa, njengalokho ngayala ngathi : U-Aroni namadodana akhe bayakukudla.

Inyama nesikhumba wakushisa ngomlilo ngaphandle kwekamu.

enidla inyama yabantu bami , nihlinza kubo isikhumba sabo , naphula amathambo abo , yebo, nibaqoba njengokwasekhanzin i nanjengenyama phakathi kwebhodwe.

Nokho inyama yethu injengenyama yabafowethu , abantwana bethu banjengabantwana babo ; bheka, sithobisa amadodana ethu namadodakazi ethu, abe yizigqila; amanye amadodakazi ethu asethotshisiwe ; futhi awakho amandla ezandleni zethu , ngokuba amasimu ethu nezivini zethu sekungokwabanye.

Ngingathathaphi inyama ukubanika bonke laba bantu na? Ngokuba bakhala kimi, bathi: Siphe inyama ukuba sidle.

Yisho kubantu ukuthi : Zingcweliseleni olwangakusasa, niyakudla inyama, lokhu nikhalile ezindlebeni zikaJehova ngokuthi : Ngubani oyakusipha inyama ukuba sidle , ngokuba kwakukuhle kithi eGibithe , ngalokho uJehova uyakuninika inyama, nize nidle.

Wayesethi uMose : Abantu engiphakathi kwabo bayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha abayimigundatshani; wena-ke uthi : Ngiyakubanika inyama ukuba badle inyanga epheleleyo.

Inyama isekhona phakathi kwamazinyo abo , ingakahlafunwa, ulaka lukaJehova lwavuthela abantu , uJehova wabashaya abantu ngokufa okukhulu kakhulu.

Ingxubevange eyayiphakathi kwabo yaqala ukufisa nokufisa ; nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli babuye bakhala , bathi: Ngubani oyakusipha inyama ukuba sidle na?

Inyama yazo iyakuba ngeyakho ; njengesifuba sok uzuliswa nomlenze wokunene iyakuba ngeyakho.

Ngokuba bheka , ngiyakuvusa umalusi ezweni ongayikuhambela ezilahlekileyo, angafuni ezihlakazekileyo , angazelaphi ezaphukileyo , angaboneleli eziphilayo , kepha adle inyama yezikhulupheleyo , adwebule izinselo zazo.

Ngase ngithi : Angisayikunalusa; efayo mayife, eyakuchithwa mayichithwe, neziseleyo mazidle, kube yileyo naleyo inyama yenye.

Yikho okuyakuba ngukushaya uJehova ayakushaya ngakho bonke abantu abalwe neJerusalema : inyama yab o iyakudleka besemi ngezinyawo zabo , namehlo abo ayakuphelela ezikhoxeni zawo , ulimi lwabo ludleke emlonyeni wabo.

Ungavumeli umlomo wakho uku ba wonise inyama yakho , futhi ungasho phambi kwesithunywa sikaNkulunkulu ukuthi kuyiphutha ; yini ukuba uNkulunkulu athukuthelele izwi lakho , achithe umsebenzi wezandla zakho , na?
