Wabusa ezweni lonke ngaphesheya koMfula kusukela eThifisa kuze kube seGaza phezu kwawo onke amakhosi ngaphesheya koMfula ; wayenokuthula nxazonke zakhe.

KumaHebroni uJeriya wayeyinhloko , kumaHebroni njengezizukulwane zawo ngezindlu zawoyise . Ngomnyaka wamashumi amane wokubu sa kukaDavide kwafunwa , kwafunyanwa phakathi kwawo amaqhawe anamandla eJazeri kwaGileyadi.

nithathe umphongolo kaJehova, niwubeke enqoleni, nifake impahla yegolide eniyibuyisela kuye ibe ngumnikelo wecala ebhokisini eliseceleni kwawo , niyimukise, ihambe.

Umpheki waphakamisa umlenze nokwakuphezu kwawo, wawubeka phambi kukaSawule. USamuweli wathi: Nakhu ohlinzekwe ngakho. Kubeke phambi kwakho, udle, ngokuba kugcinelwe wena kuze kufike lesi sikhathi , njengalokho ngit he ngimemile abantu . USawule wayesedla noSamuweli ngalolo suku.

Inkosi u -Ahazi yanquma izindini zezinqe , yasusa kuzo umcengezi wokugeza, yehlisa ulwandle ezinkabini zethusi ezaziphansi kwawo , yawubeka endaweni egandayiwe ngamatshe.

Wamethemba uJehova uNkulunkulu w akwa-Israyeli kwaze kwangabakho onjengaye phakathi kwawo onke amakhosi akwaJuda nakuwo ayengaphambi kwakhe.

Wabulala ema -altare bonke abapristi basezindaweni eziphakemeyo ababe lapho, washisa amathambo abantu phezu kwawo, wabuyela eJerusalema.

Bawalandela baze bafika eJordani; bheka, yonke indlela yayigcwele izingubo nezimpahla ama -Aramu ayezilahlile ekubalekeni kwawo . Izithunywa zabuya, zayitshela inkosi.

Bawadiliza phambi kwakhe ama -altare awoBali ; nama-altare empepho ayephezu kwawo wawanquma ; waphula o-Ashera, nezithombe ezibaziweyo, nezithombe ezibunjiweyo, wakucolisisa, wakuvumvuzela phezu kwamathuna ababenikele kukho.

Wabusa phezu kwawo onke amakhosi kusukela emfuleni kuze kube sezweni lamaFilisti nasemkhawulweni waseGibithe.

ukuthi ekuvivinyweni okukhulu kosizi ukuthokoza kwawo okuvamileyo nobumpofu bawo obukhulu kwenza ukuba avame kakhulu ekup haneni okupheleleyo;

UHadadezeri wathuma wakhipha ama -Aramu ayephesheya koMfula ; afika eHelamu, uShobaki induna yempi kaHadadezeri ephambi kwawo.

Wakhipha nabantu ababe phakathi kwawo , wababeka emasaheni , nasezibhuqweni zensimbi, nasemazembeni ensimbi, wabasebenzisa kohonela; wenze njalo kuyo yonke imizi yakwa-Amoni. UDavide nabo bonke abantu babuyela eJerusalema.

Lapho uDavide ebuza kuJehova , wathi yena: Awuyikwenyuka; gwegwesa emva kwawo, uwafikele malungana namajikijolo.

uFinehasi indodana ka -Eleyazare ka -Aroni wema phambi kwawo ngalezo zinsuku bathi: Siyakuphinda siphume ukuba silwe nabantwana bakwaBenjamini umfowethu, nokuba siyeke na? UJehova wathi: Khuphukani, ngokuba kusasa ngiyakubanikela esandleni sakho.

Umhlaba ungokaJehova nokugcwala kwawo, izwe nabakhileyo kulo.

UNkulunkulu uphakathi kwawo , awuyikuzanyazanyiswa; uNkulunkulu uyakuwusiza ngovivi lokusa.

Uma bengilambile, bengingekutshele wena, ngokuba ungowami umhlaba wonke nokugcwala kwawo.

Imini nobusuku bahamba bezungeza phezu kwezingange zawo ; okubi nokushinga kuphakathi kwawo.

Ububi buphakathi kwawo ; imbandezelo nenkohliso akusuki esigcawini sawo.

Umhlangano wezizwe mawukuphahle, ubuyele phezulu ngaphezu kwawo.

Wawulungisela indawo phambi kwawo, wagxila, wagcwalisa umhlaba.

Lawo anomqondo munye, anika isilo amandla nokubusa kwawo.

unenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ; ukukhanya kwawo kwakunjengetshe elinenani elikhulu sengathi yitshe lejaspi elicwebezelayo,

Umuzi umi unezinhlangothi ezine , nobude bawo bungangobubanzi bawo . Walinganisa umuzi ngohlanga, amastadiyu ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili, ubude nobubanzi nokuphakama kwawo kulingene.

Izizwe zi yakuhamba ekukhanyeni kwawo , namakhosi omhlaba aletha kuwo ubukhosi bawo;

Amadodana anqabileyo aseSiyoni , elingene negolide elihle , yeka ukuthiwa kwawo ayizitsha zebumba, imisebenzi yezandla zombumbi!

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

Khona amabutho ayesemthatha uPawulu njengokuyalwa kwawo , amyisa e- Antipatheri ebusuku.

Ngokuba umhlabathi , ophuze imvula efika kaningi phezu kwawo , umilisa imifino ebasizayo abawulinyelwayo, uyabusiswa nguNkulunkulu;

kepha uma uveza ameva nekhakhasi , uyaleka, useduze nokuqalekiswa , ukuphela kwawo ngukushiswa.

Ngokuba umthetho wokuqala uyachithwa ngenxa yobuthakathaka bawo nokungasizi kwawo,

phezu kwawo kwakukhona amakherubi enkazi mulo engamele isihlalo somusa, okungenakukhulunywa ngakho ngakunye manje.

Kepha uma kwaphulwa amanye amagatsha , wena-ke ongumnqumo wasendle wafakelwa phakathi kwawo , wahlanganyela nawo impande yamafutha yomnqumo,

Ngakho uJesu , ebubula futhi phakathi kwakhe , wafika ethu neni. Lalingumhume, kwakukhona itshe phezu kwawo.

Maye kinina , ngokuba nifana namathuna angasabonakaliyo , nabantu abahamba ngaphezu kwawo bengawazi!

Ebona ukukholwa kwawo wathi: Mngane, uthethelelwe izono zakho.

Kwathi ekwahlukaneni kwawo naye uPetru wathi kuJesu : Nkosi, kuhle ukuba silapha; masakhe amadokodo amathathu, elinye libe ngelakho , elinye libe ngelikaMose, elinye libe ngelika-Eliya; wayengazi ukuthi uthini.

Ayeseyithatha imali , enza njengokufundiswa kwawo . Leli zwi landa phakathi kwabaJuda kuze kube namuhla. Isiyalezo sokugcina sikaJesu (Mark. 16:14; Luk. 24:44)

bacambalale ezingutsheni ezithathwe zaba yisibambiso eceleni kwawo onke ama-altare, baphuze iwayini labahlawulisiweyo endlini kaNkulunkulu wabo.

Nokho mina ngachitha ama -Amori ebusweni babo , akuphakama kwawo kwakunjengokuphakama kwe misedari, ayenamandla njengama -oki; kepha ngachitha nokho izithelo zawo phezulu nezimpande zawo phansi.

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

Bayakuwenza umphongolo ngomuthi wom tholo, ubude bawo bube yizingalo ezimbili nenxenye , ububanzi bawo bube yingalo nenxenye , nokuphakama kwawo kube yingalo nenxenye.

Emiphethweni yalo wowenza amapomegranati ngokuluhlaza nangokububende nangokubomvu , azungeze imiphetho yalo , kanye nezikhencezo zegolide phakathi kwawo nxazonke,

Mawangathelwa emzimbeni womuntu , ningawenzi afana nawo njengokuthakwa kwawo; angcwele, mawabe ngcwele kini.

itende lokuhlangana, nomphongolo wobufakazi, nesihlalo somusa esiphezu kwawo, nezimpahla zonke zetende,

UBesaleli wawenza umphongolo ngomuthi womtholo ; ubude bawo babuyizingalo ezi mbili nenxenye, ububanzi bawo babuyingalo nenxenye , nokuphakama kwawo kwakuyingalo nenxenye.

Wayesethi uZereshi umkakhe nabo bonke abangane bakhe kuye : Yenza umuthi, ukuphakama kwawo kube yizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu , ukhulume ekuseni enkosini ukuba uMoridekayi aphanyekwe kuwo , besewungena ngokuthokoza kanye nenkosi edilini . Laba lihle lelo zwi kuHamani, wenza umuthi.

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.

ukuba kucingwe encwadini yezindaba yawoyihlo ; uyakufumana encwadini yezindaba, wazi ukuthi lo muzi ungumuzi ohlubukayo , olimaza amakhosi namazwe, nokuthi benzile ukwambuka phakathi kwawo kwasendulo ; ngalokho lo muzi wachithwa.

Ngayaleza, kwacingwa, kufumanisekile ukuthi lowo muzi uziphakamisele amakhosi kwasendulo nokuthi ukuhlubuka nokwambuka kwenziwe ph akathi kwawo.

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

Ayakushiywa ndawonye abe ngawamanqe as ezintabeni nawezilwane zasemhlabeni; amanqe ayakuhlala ehlobo phezu kwawo, nazo zonke izilwane zomhlaba ziyakuhlala ebusika phezu kwawo.

Umhlaba uyatengezela nokutengezela njengesidakwa , uyantengantenga njengexhiba; isiphambeko siyakuba nzima phezu kwawo , uwe, ungabe usavuka futhi.

Ngalokho ningadeleli , funa izibopho zenu ziqiniswe , ngokuba ngizwile eNkosini uJehova Sebawot i ukuthi ukuphela kunqunyiwe phezu kwawo wonke umhlaba.

Amabele esinkwa ayacolwa na ? Cha, ngokuba awabhulwa nokubhulwa njalo; nakuba eqhuba isondo lengqukumbane namahhashi alo phezu kwawo, awacolisiswa.

naphezu kwayo yonke imisedari yaseLebanoni , emide nephakemeyo , naphezu kwawo onke ama-oki aseBashani,

naphezu kwazo zonke izintaba ezinde , naphezu kwawo onke amagquma aphakemeyo,

Sondelani nina zizwe , nizwe, nilalele nina bantu : makuzwe umhlaba nokugcwala kwawo, nezwe nakho konke okuvela kulo.

Wathi futhi uJehova: Ngenxa yokuba amadodakazi aseSiyoni eziphakamisa, ehamba elula izintamo , eqhikiza amehlo , ehamba ecokama ekuhambeni kwawo, ekhenceza ngezinyawo zawo,

Usho kanje uJehova , uMhlengi wenu, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, uthi: Ngenxa yenu ngithumele eBabele, ngiyakwehlisa bonke njengababaleki , namaKaledi ngemikhumbi yokujabula kwawo.

Yimi engiwenzile umhlaba, ngadala abantu phezu kwawo; mina ngezandla zami ngeneka izulu, nebandla lalo lonke ngiliyalezile.

Bheka, bayakuba njengamabibi ashiswa ngumlilo , abayikuzophula emandleni elangabi; akusilo ilahle lokotha, akusiwo umlilo wokuba kuhlalwe phambi kwawo.

Akakho ongalihola phakathi kwawo onke amadodana eliwazalileyo. Akakho ongalibamba ngesandla kuwo onke amadodana eliwakhulisileyo.

Yayinje imibono yekhanda lami ngisembhedeni wami : ngabona, bheka, nanko umuthi phakathi nomhlaba, nokuphakama kwawo kwakukukhulu.

Umuthi wakhula, waqina, ubude bawo bafinyelela ezulwini nokubonakala kwawo kwaze kwaba sekugcineni komhlaba.

Amaqabunga awo ayemahle , nezithelo zawo zaziziningi , kukhona kuwo ukudla kubo bonke; izilwane zasendle zazinomthunzi phansi kwawo, izinyoni zezulu zazihlala emagatsheni awo, nenyama yonke yondliwa kuwo.

Wamemeza ngamandla , washo kanje, wathi: Gawula umu thi, unqume amagatsha awo , uvuthulule amaqabunga awo , uhlakaze izithelo zawo ; izilwane mazisuke phansi kwawo, nezinyoni emagatsheni awo.

Umuthi owawubonayo , owakhula, waqina, obude bawo bafinyelela ezulwini nokubonakala kwawo kwaze kwaba sekugcineni komhlaba;

omaqabunga awo ayemahle , nezithelo zawo zaziziningi , kukhona ukudla kuwo kubo bonke ; ozilwane zasendle zahlala phansi kwawo , nezinyoni zezulu zakha emagatsheni awo:

Izimpondo eziyishumi-ke, kulowo mbuso kuyakuvela amakhosi ayishumi , kuvele enye emva kwawo ; iyakwahluka kwawokuqala , ithobise amakhosi amathathu.

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

woshaya nokushaya abantu balowo muzi ngosiko lwen kemba, uwuchithe impela, nakho konke okuphakathi kwawo , nezinkomo zawo , ngosiko lwenkemba.

Kuyakuthi uma ukuphendula ngezwi lokuthula , uzivulele kuwe , abantu bonke abafunyaniswa phakathi kwawo baba yizinceku zempoqo, bakukhonze.

nangamagugu omhlaba nokugcwala kwawo, nangentando enhle yowahlala esihlahleni; isibusiso masifike ekhanda likaJosef a nasokhakhayini lowahlukaniswa nabafowabo.

Wathatha amangqanga , nobisi, nethole abelilungisile , wakubeka phambi kwawo; wema ngakuwo phansi komuthi; adla.

Ngizakukufungisa uJehova, uNkulunkulu wezulu noNkulunkulu womhlaba , ukuthi awuyikuthathela indodana yami umfazi emadodakazini amaKhanani engihlezi phakathi kwawo,

Lawa angamagama am adodana ka -Ishmayeli ngamagama awo nangokuzalwa kwawo: izibulo lika-Ishmayeli nguNebayoti, kanye noKedari, no-Adibeli, noMibisamu,

Bheka, uJehova wayemi ngaphezu kwawo , wathi: NginguJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama uyihlo, noNkulunkulu ka-Isaka; leli zwe olele kulo ngizakulinika wena nenzalo yakho.

Yikho lokhu ozakukwe nza: ubude bomkhumbi buyakuba yizingalo ezingamakhulu amathathu , ububanzi bawo bube yizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu, nokuphakama kwawo kube yizingalo ezingamashumi amathathu.

Ekuhambeni kwawo aya ezinhlangothini zozine , awaphendukanga ekuhambeni kwawo , kepha lapho ikhanda lalibhekisa khona alilandela; awaphendukanga ekuhambeni kwawo.

Ekuhambeni kwamakherubi amasondo ahamba eceleni kwawo , nalapho amakherubi ephakamisa amaphiko awo ukwenyuka emhlabath ini, amasondo awaphendukanga eceleni kwawo.

Ekumeni kwawo nalawa ema; ekwenyukeni kwawo enyuka nawo, ngokuba umoya wezidalwa wayekuwo.

Amakherubi aphakamisa amaphiko awo , enyuka emhlabathini phambi kwamehlo ami ekuphumeni kwawo , amasondo eseceleni kwawo ; ema ngasesivalweni sesango lasempumalanga lendlu kaJehova ; inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli yayiphezu kwawo.

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

Amakherubi ayesephakamisa amaphiko awo namasondo ayeseceleni kwawo; inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli yayiphezu kwawo.

Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Ababuleweyo benu enibabekile phakathi kwawo bayinyama , nawo uqobo uyikhanzi , kepha nina ngiyakunikhipha phakathi kwawo.

Ngiyakunikhipha phakathi kwawo , ngininikele esandleni sabafokazi , ngahlulele phakathi kwenu.

noma ebekhona phakathi kwalo lawa madoda amathathu , oNowa, noDaniyeli, noJobe, wona ayeyakophula imiphefumulo yawo kuphela ngokulunga kwawo, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Ndodana yomuntu, lawa madoda angenisile izithombe zawo ezinh liziyweni zawo, abeka isikhubekiso sokona kwawo phambi kobuso bawo . Impela ngiyakubuzwa yiwo na?

Ngiyakubuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabo , ukuthunjwa kweSodoma nokwamadodakazi alo , nokuthunjwa kweSamariya nokwamadodakazi alo , nokuthunjwa kwabathunjwa bakho phakathi kwawo

Ukubonakala kwamasondo nokwenziwa kwawo kwakunjengekrisolithe, nezimo zawo omane zaziyintonye . Ukubonakala kwawo nokwenziwa kwawo kwakunjengokuba kukhona isondo phakathi kwesondo.

Ekuhambeni kwawo aya ezinhlangothini zozine ; awaphendukanga ekuhambeni kwawo.

Ngase ngibona okunjengethusi elikhazimulayo , kufana nomlilo phakathi kwakho nxazonke , kusukela kokungathi ukhalo lwakhe kuya phezulu ; kusukela k okungathi ukhalo lwakhe kuya ngaphansi ngabona okufana nomlilo; kwamenyezela nxazonke kwawo.

Yebo, ngiyakunibutha, nginifuthe ngomlilo wentukuthelo yami , nincibilikiswe phakathi kwawo.

Kukhona uzungu lwabaprofethi bawo phakathi kwawo njengengonyama ebhongayo edwengula impango ; badlile imiphefumulo , bathatha ingcebo nokuyigugu; benzile abafelokazi babo babe baningi phakathi kwawo.

Izikhulu zawo phakathi kwawo zinjengezimpisi ezidwengula impango ukuchitha igazi nokuqeda imiphefumulo ukuba ziphange nokuphanga.

wahlala embhedeni omuhle , itafula elilungisiweyo liphambi kwawo , owabeka kulo impepho yami namafutha ami.

Ngokuba izingazi zawo ziphakathi kwawo ; wazibeka edwaleni eliyinyabule; akazithelanga emhlabathini ukuzisibekela ngothuli.

Ngalolo suku k uyakuphuma izithunywa phambi kwami ngemikhumbi ukwesabisa amaKushe anokwethemba, kube yimihelo phezu kwawo ngosuku lweGibithe, ngokuba bheka, luyeza.

Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Ngenxa yokuba uphakeme ngobude, wabeka isihloko sawo phakathi kwamafu , nenhliziyo yakhukhumala ngokuphakama kwawo,

ukuba kungabikho muthi ngasemanzini okhukhumala ngokuphakama kwawo, ungabeki isihloko sawo emafwini , yebo, nenamandla ingemi ngokuziphakamisa, yonke ephuze amanzi ; ngokuba yonke inikelwe ekufeni kokuphansi komhlaba phakathi kwabantwana babantu , kwabehlelayo egodini.

Ngomdumo wokuwa kwawo ngathuthumelisa izizwe , lapho ngiwehlisela endaweni yabafileyo kanye nabehlel a ego dini; yonke imithi yase -Edene ekhethekileyo nemihle yaseLebanoni , yonke ephuze amanzi , yaduduzwa kokuphansi komhlaba.

Amanzi awukhulisa , utwa lwawuphakamisa ; imifula yawo yahamb a yazungeza indawo yokutshalwa kwawo ; yayisithuma imisele yayo kuyo yonke imithi yasendle.

Ngalokho isiqu sawo sasiphakeme kunayo yonke imithi yasendle ; izingatsha zawo zandiswa , namagatsha awo elulw a ngamanzi amaningi ekuwaxhantiseni kwawo.

Ngiyakwenza ukuba abantu abaningi bamangale ngawe , amakhosi abo aqhakanyeke, lapho ngisikaza ngenkemba phambi kwawo , aqhaqhazele imizuzwana yonke , kube yileyo naleyo ngokuphila kwayo ngosuku lokuwa kwakho.

Umuthi osendle uyakuthela izithelo zawo , umhlabathi uthele ukudla kwawo, zihlale zilondekile ezweni lazo , zazi ukuthi nginguJehova, lapho sengaphulile izikeyi zejoka lazo , ngazophula esandleni salabo ezenziwa izikhonzi yibo.

Ngase ngibona; bheka, kwakukhona imisipha phezu kwawo , kwahluma nenyama, nesikhumba sawasibekela ngaphezulu, kepha umoya wawungekho kuwo.

Kwakungamatafula amane omnikelo wokushiswa amatshe abaz iweyo, ubude buyingalo nenxenye , nobubanzi buyingalo nenzenye , nokuphakama kuyingalo, ababeka phezu kwawo izinto abahlaba ngazo umnikelo wokushiswa nomhlatshelo.

Indlela phambi kwawo yayinjengesimo seyamakamelo angasenyakatho ; ububanzi babunjengobude; izindawo zawo zokuphuma zazinjengemithetho yazo nanjengeminyango yazo.

Phakathi kwawo nxazonke , nxazonke zawo omane, kwakukhona ugange olwenziwe lunamaziko phansi ogangeni nxazonke.

Wathi kimi : Bheka, ngikunike umquba esikhundleni sendle yomuntu ; uyakusenza isinkwa sakho phezu kwawo.

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

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

Futhi ngiyakunikela yonke imfuyo yalo muzi , nayo yonke imisebenzi yawo, nakho konke kwawo okuyigugu , yebo, yonke ingcebo yamakhosi akwaJuda esandleni sezitha zabo, ziyiphange, ziyithathe, ziyiyise eBabele.

Funani ukuthula komuzi lapho nginithumbele khona , niwukhulekele kuJehova, ngokuba ekuthuleni kwawo niyakuba nokuthula.

uthi kubo : U sho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Bheka, ngiyakuthumela ukuba ngimbam be uNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele, inceku yami , ngibeke isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi phezu kwalawa matshe engiwashiqeleyo, uyakweneka isivikelo sakhe phezu kwawo.

Izinhliziyo zenu mazingadangali , ningesabi imibiko ezwakalayo ezw eni, lapho kufika umbiko othile ngomunye umnyaka , bese kufika emva kwawo omunye ngomnyaka olandelayo , kube ngubudlova ezweni , umbusi avukele umbusi.

ngokuba uJehova uyalichitha iBabele , aqede phakathi kwalo umsindo omkhulu; amaza alo ayahlokoma njengamanzi amakhulu , nomsindo wokuhlokoma kwawo uyezwakala,

Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Gawulani imithi yayo , ninqwabele iduli ngakulo iJerusalema . Yiwo umuzi oyakuha njelwa, ungukucindezela kuphela phakathi kwawo.

Njengomthombo umpompoza amanzi awo, kanjalo umpompoza ububi bawo; ubudlova nokubhubhisa kuzwakele phakathi kwawo ; ukugula namanxeba kukhona phambi kwami njalo.

amanzi ayagubha amatshe ; ukuphuphuma kwawo kuyakhukhula uthuli lomhlaba; kanjalo uyachitha nethemba lomuntu.

Kwathi ngelinye ilanga kwafika amadodana kaNkulunkulu ema phambi kukaJehova, kwafika noSathane phakathi kwawo.

Ubopha amanzi emafwini akhe; ifu alidabuki phansi kwawo.

Lapho emisela umoya ukusinda kwawo, elinganisa amanzi ngezilinganiso,

Umhlaba-ke, kuwona kuvela ukudla , kepha ngaphansi kwawo uyaphendukezelwa njengangomlilo.

Kwathi futhi ngelinye ilanga afika amadodana kaNkulunkulu , ema phambi kukaJehova; noSathane wafika phakathi kwawo ukuba eme phambi kukaJehova.

Ngubani owanquma izilinganiso zawo , ngokuba uyakwazi phela ! Ngubani owelula umucu wokulinganisa phezu kwawo na?

umkhawulo wenyukela eDebiri usuka esigodini sase -Akori ngasenyakatho , ubheka ngaseGiligali elibhekana nommango wase -Adumimi elingaseningizimu komfula ; umkhawulo wawusudlula , waya emanzini asemthonjeni waseShemeshi ; ukuphuma kwawo kwakungasemthon jeni waseRogeli;

Kusukela eTaphuwa umkhawulo waya ngasentshonalanga , wafika emfudlaneni iKhana; ukuphuma kwawo kwakuselwandle. Lelo liyifa lesizwe sabantwana bakwa-Efrayimi ngemindeni yabo

Umkhawulo wehlela emfudlaneni iKhana ngaseningizimu komfula ; leyo mizi yayingeka-Efrayimi phakathi kwemizi kaManase ; umkhawulo kaManase wawungasenyakatho komfula; ukuphuma kwawo kwakuselwandle;

Umkhawulo wabo ngasohlangothini lwasenyakatho waphuma eJordani ; umkhawulo wenyuka eceleni kweJeriko ngasenyakatho , wakhuphukela ezintabeni ngasentshonalanga; ukuphuma kwawo kwakungasehlane laseBeti Aveni.

Umkhawulo wasuka , wajika ngasohlangothini lwasentshonalanga ngaseningizimu, kusukela entabeni ephambi kweBeti Horoni ngaseningizimu; ukuphuma kwawo kwakungaseKiriyati Bali eliyiKiriyati Jeharimi , umuzi wabantwana bakwaJuda; lokho kwakuluhlangothi lwasentshonalanga.

umkhawulo wawusujika ngasenyakath o kwalo , waya eHanathoni ; ukuphuma kwawo kwakungasesigodini saseJifitayeli;

umkhawulo wajika waya eRama , nasemzini obiyelweyo waseTire ; umkhawulo wajika waya eHosa ; ukuphuma kwawo kwakuselwandle ngasezweni lase-Akizibi;

Umkhawulo wabo wasuka eHelefi , kulo i-oki laseSahananimi, nase-Adami Nekebi, naseJabineyeli, waze wafika eLakumi ; ukuphuma kwawo kwakungaseJordani;

anothi kubo : Kungokuba amanzi aseJordani enqamuka phambi komphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova; ekuweleni kwawo iJordani amanzi aseJordani anqamuka ; lawa matshe ayakuba yisikhumbuzo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade.

uyakwenza kulo i-Ayi nenkosi yalo njengalokho wenza kulo iJeriko nenkosi yalo; impango yalo kuphela nezinkomo zalo niyakuziphangela khona . Wuqamekele umuzi emva kwawo.

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose emva kokufa kwamadodana ka -Aroni ekusondeleni kwawo phambi kukaJehova, afa.

uthele amafutha kuwo , ubeke inhlaka phezu kwawo ; kungumnikelo wempuphu.

Kepha uma amandla akhe enganeli ama hobhe amabili noma amaphuphu amabili amajuba , makalethe umnikelo wakhe ngalokho one ngakho , okweshumi kwe -efa lempuphu ecolekileyo , ube ngumnikelo wesono , angatheli mafutha phezu kwawo , angabeki nhlaka phezu kwawo , ngokuba kungumnikelo wesono,

Umuzi wawubanzi nxazombili; wawumkhulu, kepha abantu babe yingcosana phakathi kwawo, izindlu zingakakhiwa.

Lithelela kakhulu amakhosi owabeke phezu kwethu ngenxa yezono zethu ; abusa phezu kwemizimba yethu naphezu kwezinkomo zethu njengokuthanda kwawo; thina sisekuhluphekeni okukhulu. Abantu benza isivumelwano noNkulunkulu

Lase lisuka ibhanela lekamu labant wana bakwaDani elalisemva kwawo onke amakamu ngamabandla abo ; phezu kwebandla lakhe kwakungu - Ahiyezeri indodana ka-Amishadayi.

Ekumeni kwawo wathi : Buyela, Jehova, emindenini eyizinkulungwane zakwa-Israyeli.

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

Nxa amazolo elala phezu kwekamu ebusuku, imana lawela phezu kwawo.

bawembese isikhumba samatahasi , bendlale phezu kwawo indwangu eluhlaza yonke, bafake izinti zawo.

Uma umndeni waseGibithe ungakhuphuki uze ufike , ayiyikuba naphezu kwawo; kepha kuyakuba khona ukushaywa uJehova ayakushaya ngakho izizwe ezingakhuphuki ukugubha umkhosi wamadokodo.

Ngokuba kuyakuba khona imbewu yokuthula ; umvini uyakuthela izithelo zawo, umhlabathi uveze ukudla kwawo, amazulu anike amazolo awo, ngenze ukuba insali yalaba bantu idle ifa lazo zonke lezi zinto.

Yiwo umuzi owajabula wahlala ulondekile , owathi enhliziyweni yawo : Mina ngikhona , akakho omunye ; yeka ukuphenduka kwawo incithakalo nendawo yokubuthisa kwezilwane ! Bonke abadlula kuwo bayakuncimfa , banikine isandla sabo.

Izikhulu zawo phakathi kwawo ziyizingonyama ezibhongayo ; abahluleli bawo bayizimpisi zokuhlwa; abashiyeli lutho ingomuso.

UJehova ulungile phakathi kwawo , akenzi okubi ; ekuseni njalo uveza ukwahlulela kwakhe ekukhanyeni , akuphuthi; kepha abangalungile abazi amahloni.

Umoya uya ngaseningizimu , uzungeze, uye ngasenyakatho; uzungazungeza njalo ekuhambeni kwawo, nasekuzungezeni kwawo umoya uyabuyela.

Ngubani owaziyo, uma eyakuba ngumuntu ohlakaniphileyo noma isiwula na? Nokho uyakubusa phezu kwawo wonke umshikashika wami engiwushikashikile nengihlakaniphe le kuwo phansi kwelanga . Nalokho kuyize.

Ngaphenya enhliziyweni yami ukuba ngiyakuthokozisa kanjani umzimba wami ngewayini , inhliziyo ingihole nokho ngokuhlakanipha , nokuba ngibambe ubuwula, ngize ngibone ukuthi kuyini okuhle kumadodana abantu ukuba akwenze phansi kwezulu ezinsukwini zonke zokuphila kwawo.

Ngenxa yokuba ububi obenziwayo bungahlulelwa masinyane , ngalokho izinhliziyo zamadodana abantu phakathi kwawo zigcwele ukwenza okubi,

kwakukhona umuzi omncane , unabantu abayingcosana phakathi kwawo ; kwafika inkosi enkul u kuwo , yawuvimbezela, yakha izinqaba ezinkulu ngakuwo;
