ngokuba kwathiwa kimi ngezwi likaJehova: Awuyikudla sinkwa, ungaphuzi manzi khona, ungabuyi ngendlela oze ngayo.

Ngokuba izwi alimemezayo ngokusho kukaJehova kulo i-altare laseBethele nakuzo zonke izindlu zezindawo eziphakemeyo ezisemizini yaseSamariya liyakwenzeka nokwenzeka. UJerobowamu uqhubeka ebubini

ngokuba ngayalwa kanjalo ngezwi likaJehova ngokuthi: Awuyikudla sinkwa, ungaphuzi manzi, ungabuyi ngendlela oze ngayo.

Yena wakwaJerobow amu ofela emzini uyakudliwa yizinja , nofela endle uyakudliwa yizinyoni zezulu, ngokuba uJehova ukukhulumile.

UmkaJerobowamu w enze njalo ; wasuka, waya eShilo , wafika endlini ka - Ahiya. U-Ahiya wayengenakubona , ngokuba amehlo akhe ayequndekile ngenxa yobudala bakhe.

Wahamba wenza njengezwi likaJehova , ngokuba wahamba wahlala ngasemfudlaneni iKeriti ongaphambi kweJordani.

Kwathi ekupheleni kwezinsuku umfudlana washa , ngokuba yayingekho imvula ezweni. U-Eliya uyandisa impuphu namafutha

U-Eliya wayesethi kubaprofethi bakaBali : Zikhetheleni inkunzi, niyilungise kuqala, ngokuba nibaningi, nibize igama likankulunkulu wenu , ningafaki umlilo nokho.

ngokuba kwathi lapho u -Izebeli ebulala abaprofethi bakaJehova , u-Obadiya wathatha abaprofethi abayikhulu , wabafihla emhumeni ngamashumi ayisihlanu, wabondla ngesinkwa nangamanzi.

Wayesethi u -Eliya ku -Ahabi: Khuphuka, udle, uphuze, ngokuba kukhona umdumo wemvula enkulu.

Wathi: Ngishisekele nokushisekela uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti , ngokuba abantwana bakwa -Israyeli balahlile isivumelwano sakho , badilizile ama-altare akho , babulele abaprofet hi bakho ngenkemba , kusele mina ngedwa; sebefuna umphefumulo wami ukuba bawususe.

Wayeseshiya izinkabi , wagijima wamlandela u -Eliya, wathi: Ake ngange ubaba nomame , bese ngikulandela . Wathi kuye: Hamba, ubuyele emuva, ngokuba ngenzeni kuwe na?

Kodwa yena wahamba ibanga losuku ehlane, waya wahlala phansi konwele, wacela enhliziyweni yakhe ukuba afe, wathi: Sekwanele; manje, Jehova, sale usuthatha umphefumulo wami, ngokuba angilungile kunawobaba.

Ingelosi kaJehova yabuye yamthinta ngokwesibili , yathi: Vuka udle , ngokuba indlela yakho inde.

Ngokuba wehlile namuhla; uhlabile izinkabi, namathole akhuluphalisiweyo, nezimvu eziningi , umemile onke amadodana enkosi , nezinduna zempi , no- Abiyathara umpristi; bheka, bayadla, bephuza phambi kwakhe , bathi: Mana njalo, nkosi Adoniya.

Bese nenyuka emva kwakhe , afike ahlale esihlalweni sami sobukhosi , ngokuba uyakuba yinkosi esikhundleni sami; ngimbekile ukuba abe ngumbusi phezu kuka-Israyeli noJuda.

Esakhuluma, bheka, kwafika uJonathani indodana ka-Abiyathara umpristi; u-Adoniya wathi : Ngena, ngokuba wena uyindoda enamandla ; uze nodaba oluhle.

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

Wayesesondela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, wathi enkosini yakwa-Israyeli: Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Ngokuba ama -Aramu eshilo ukuthi uJehova ungunkulunkulu wezintaba , kasiye unkulunkulu wezigodi , ngiyakusinikela sonke lesi sixuku esikhulu esandleni sakho, nize nazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

Wayesethi kuye : Ngokuba ungalalelanga izwi likaJehova , bheka, uyakwanele ukusuka nje kimi , ingonyama ikubulale . Wanele wasuka nje kuye, ingonyama yamfumana, yambulala.

Wathi kuyo: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngokuba umyekile ukuba aphume esandleni sakho umuntu engangimqalekisile , ukuphila kwakho kuyakuba sesikhundleni sokuphila kwakhe, nabantu bakho babe sesikhundleni sabantu bakhe.

Inkosi yakwa-Israyeli yayisibiza onke amalunga ezwe , yathi: Ake niqaphele, nibone ukuthi lowo muntu ufuna okubi , ngokuba wathumela kimi ngawomkami, nangabantwana bami , nangesiliva lami , nangegolide lami , angimnqabelanga.

Kwathi u-Izebeli esezwile ukuthi uNaboti ukhandiwe ngamatshe, wafa, u- Izebeli wathi ku -Ahabi: Suka udle isivini sikaNaboti waseJizreyeli , enqaba ukukunika sona ngesiliva, ngokuba uNaboti kasekho, ufile.

U-Ahabi wakhuluma kuNaboti , wathi: Ngiphe isivini sakho ukuba sibe yisivande sami semifino , ngokuba siseduze nendlu yami , ngikunike isivini esihle kunaso esikhundleni saso ; kepha uma kukuhle emehlweni akho , ngiyakukunika isiliva libe yintengo yaso.

Wayesethi u -Ahabi ku -Eliya: Usungitholile wena sitha sami na ? Wathi: Ngikutholile, ngokuba uzithengisile ukwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova.

Ubonile yini ukuthi u -Ahabi uyazithoba phambi kwami na ? Ngokuba ezithoba phambi kwami angiyikwehlisa okubi emihleni yakhe ; kepha emihleni yendodana yakhe ngiyakwehlisela indlu yakhe okubi.

U-Ahabi wangena endlini yakhe ehluneme , ethukuthele ngen xa yezwi abelikhulume kuye uNaboti waseJizreyeli ; ngokuba wayeshilo ukuthi : Angiyikukunika ifa lawobaba . Walala embhedeni , waphendula ubuso, akadlanga lutho.

Wathi kuye : Ngokuba ngakhuluma kuNaboti waseJizreyeli , ngathi kuye : Ngiphe isivini sakho ngesiliva ; kepha uma uthanda, ngiyakukunika esinye isivini esikhundleni saso; kodwa wathi: Angiyikukunika isivini sami.

Bonke abaprofethi baprofetha kanje , bathi: Yenyukela eRamoti Gil eyadi, ube nempumelelo, ngokuba uJehova uyakulinikela esandleni senkosi.

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

UJehoshafati walungisa imikhumbi yaseTharishishi ukuba iye e -Ofiri ukulanda igolide , kepha ayihambanga , ngokuba imikhumbi yaphuka e - Esiyoni Geberi.

Inkosi yakwa -Israyeli yayisibutha abapr ofethi kungathi abantu abangamakhulu amane , yathi kubo : Ngihambe ngilwe neRamoti Gileyadi , noma ngiliyeke na ? Bathi: Yenyuka, ngokuba uJehova uyakulinikela esandleni senkosi.

Inkosi yakwa -Israyeli yathi kuJehoshafati : Kusekhona umuntu munye , uMikhaya, indodana kaJimila , esingabuza ngaye kuJehova , kodwa ngiyamzonda, ngokuba akaprofethi okuhle ngami kepha okubi . Wathi uJehoshafati: Inkosi mayingasho njalo.

Wathi-ke: Uyazi wena ukuthi umbuso wawungowami nokuthi wonke u - Israyeli wabhekisa kimi ubuso bakhe ukuba ngibuse ; kepha umbuso usuguquliwe, sewaba ngowomfowethu, ngokuba wawuthola kuJehova.

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

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

Inkosi uSolomoni yaphendula , yathi kunina : Umcelelelani u -Adoniya u- Abishagi waseShunemi na? Mcelele nombuso futhi, ngokuba ungumnewethu; yebo, mcelele yena no-Abiyathara umpristi, noJowabe indodana kaSeruya.

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.

Lapho kufika umbiko kuJowabe ngokuba uJowabe -- wayemlandele u - Adoniya noma engamlandelanga u -Abisalomu uJowabe -- wabaleka, waya etendeni likaJehova, wabamba izimpondo ze-altare.

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

Ngokuba mhla uphuma, uwele umfudlana iKidroni, yazisisa ukuthi uyakufa nokufa; igazi lakho liyakuba sekhanda lakho.

Kepha yiba nomusa kumadodana kaBarizilayi wakwaGileyadi , abe khona phakathi kwabadla ngasetafuleni lakho , ngokuba enza kanjalo kimi mhla ngabalekela u-Abisalomu umfowenu.

Ngalokho ungamyeki abe ngongenaca la, ngokuba wena ungumuntu ohlakaniphileyo, uyakwazi okufanele ukuba ukwenze kuye, wehlise impunga endaweni yabafileyo inegazi.

Wathi uNkulunkulu kuye: Ngokuba ucele leyo nto, ungazicelelanga izinsuku eziningi, ungazicelelanga namfuyo, ungacelanga futhi ukufa kwezitha zakho , uzicelele ukwahlukanisa lokho okuzwayo ekwahluleleni,

Umfana walo wesifazane wafa ebusuku, ngokuba walala phezu kwakhe.

Nokho abantu babehlaba ezindaweni eziphakemeyo , ngokuba kwakungakhelwanga igama likaJehova indlu kwaze kwaba yilezo zinsuku.

Wayesekhuluma enkosini owesifazane ongowakhe umntwana ophilayo , ngokuba izibilini zakhe zavutha ngomnta nakhe, wathi: E nkosi, mnike yena umntwana ophilayo, ungambulali nakanye, kepha omunye wathi: Makangabi ngowami nangowakho; mdabuleni.

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.

Ngalokho yiphe inceku yakho inhliziyo elalelayo ukwahlulela abantu bakho ukuba ngahlukanise okuhle nokubi, ngokuba ngubani ongahlulela laba bantu bakho abakhulu kangaka na?

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

Ngokuba wayehlakaniphile kunabo bonke abantu : kuno-Ethani umEzra , noHemani, noKalikoli, noDarda amadodana kaMaholi , negama lakhe lalisezizweni zonke nxazonke.

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

Ngalokho yaleza ukuba bangigawulele imisedari eLebanoni , izinceku zami zibe nezakho ; ngiyakukunika inkokhelo yezinceku zakho njengakho konke ongakusho, ngokuba wena uyazi ukuthi akukho muntu kithi ongagawula imithi njengamaSidoni.

uphondo lwangaphansi lwaluyizingalo eziyisihlanu ububanzi balo , noluphakathi lwaluyizingalo eziyisithupha ububanzi balo , nolwesithathu lwaluyizingalo eziyisikhombisa ububanzi balo ; ngokuba ngaphandle wenza uqaqa endlini nxazonke, ukuze imishayo ingangeni ezindongeni zendlu.

abapristi baze bangema ukukhonza ngenxa yefu , ngokuba inkazimulo kaJehova yagcwalisa indlu kaJehova.

Kepha uJehova wathi kuDavide ubaba : Njengokuba kwakusenhliziyweni yakho ukwakhela igama lami indlu , wenza kahle , ngokuba kwakusenhliziyweni yakho lokho;

UJehova uliqinsisile izwi alikhulumayo , ngokuba mina ngivelile esikhundleni sikaDavide ubaba, ngihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sakwa-Israyeli njengokusho kukaJehova , ngakhele igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu ka - Israyeli indlu.

Lapho abantu bakho u -Israyeli benqotshwa yisitha, ngokuba bonile kuwe, kepha bese bebuya bephindela kuwe , balivume igama lakho , bakhuleke, banxuse kuwe kule ndlu,

Lapho izulu livaliwe , imvula ingekho, ngokuba bonile kuwe , kepha bese bekhuleka bebhekene nale ndawo , balivume igama lakho , baphenduke esonweni sabo, ngokuba uyabajezisa,

mawuzwe wena ezulwini , indawo yakho yokuhlala , uthethelele, wenze, unike yilowo nalowo njengezindlela zakhe , wena owaziyo inhliziyo yakhe ngokuba wena kuphela uyazi izinhliziyo zabo bonke abantwana babantu

ngokuba bayakuzwa ngegama lakho elikhulu , nangesandla sakho esinamandla, nangengalo yakho eyeluliweyo lapho ebeseza ukukhuleka kule ndlu,

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

Ngokuba bangabantu bakho nefa lakho owalikhipha ezweni laseGibithe nasesithandweni sensimbi,

Ngokuba wena wabahlukanisa nabantu bonke bomhlaba , babe yifa lakho , njengalokho wakhuluma ngesandla sikaMose inceku yakho ekukhipheni obaba eGibithe, Nkosi Jehova.

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.

Ngokuba a makherubi ayewelula amaphiko awo phezu kwendawo yomphongolo, amakherubi asibekela umphongolo nezinti zawo ngaphezulu.

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

USawule wayesethi odibini lwezikhali zakhe : Hosha inkemba yakho , ungigwaze ngayo , funa labo abangasokile bafike , bangone. Kepha aluvumanga udibi lwezikhali zakh e, ngokuba lwesaba kakhulu . Ngalokho uSawule wayithatha inkemba, wawela phezu kwayo.

UNkulunkulu wami makangenqabele ukuba ngenze lokhu ; ngiyakuphuza igazi lalaba bant u ababe sengozini na ? Ngokuba bawaletha besengozini ; akavumanga ukuwaphuza. Lezo zinto zenziwa yilawa maqhawe amathathu.

U-Abishayi umfowabo kaJowabe wayeyinhloko yabathathu , ngokuba waphakamisela abangamakhulu amathathu umkhonto wakhe , wababulala, waba negama phakathi kwalaba abathathu.

UDavide waqhubeka njalo ngokukhula , ngokuba uJehova Sebawoti wayenaye. Amaqhawe kaDavide

Kwase kwehla umoya phezu kuka -Amasayi owayeyinhloko yabangamashumi amathathu, wathi: Singabakho thina, Davide, sinawe, wena ndodana kaJese ; ukuthula, ukuthula makube nawe , ukuthula makube nabakusizayo, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wakho uyakusiza . Wayesebamukela uDavide, wabenza izinhloko zeviyo.

Kwafika abanye kwabakwaManase kuDavide , lapho efika namaFilisti ukulwa noSawule , kepha abawasizanga , ngokuba izinduna zamaFilisti sezilulekene zammukisa , zathi: Uyakuhlubukela enkosini yakhe uSawule , amakhanda ethu abe sengozini.

Bamsiza uDavide eviyweni, ngokuba babe ngamaqhawe anamandla bonke, beyizinduna zempi.

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

Kubantwana bakwaBenjamini , abafowabo bakaSawule , yizinkulungwane ezintathu, ngokuba kuze kube manje imvama yabo yayithembekile endlini kaSawule.

Babe lapho noDavide izinsuku ezintathu , bedla, bephuza, ngokuba abafowabo babebalungisele.

Ababe seduze nabo kuze kube kwa -Isakare, nakwaZebuloni, nakwaNafetali baletha isinkwa ngezimbongolo , nangamakamela, nangeminyuzi, nangezinkabi, nokudla kwempuphu, nezigaxa zamakhiwane , nezigaxa zezithelo zomvini ezomileyo , newayini, namafutha, nezinkabi, nezimvu eziningi, ngokuba kwakukhona ukuthokoza kwa-Israyeli.

Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u -Uza, wamshaya, ngokuba welulela isandla emphongolweni; wafela khona lapho phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

UDavide wadabuka ngokuba uJehova emhlasele u -Uza, wayibiza leyo ndawo ngokuthi iPheresi-Uza kuze kube namuhla.

sibuyisele kithi umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wethu , ngokuba asiwufunanga ezinsukwini zikaSawule.

Lonke ibandla lathi liyakwenze njal o, ngokuba leyo nto yayilungile emehlweni abo bonke abantu.

Ekufikeni kwabo esibuyeni sikaKidoni u-Uza welula isandla sakhe ukubamba umphongolo, ngokuba izinkabi zashelela.

uDavide wabuza kuNkulunkulu , wathi: Ngenyukele ukuhlasela amaFilisti na? Uyakuwanikela esandleni sami na ? UJehova wathi kuye : Yenyuka, ngokuba ngiyakuwanikela esandleni sakho.

Kuyakuthi lapho usuzwa umsindo wokuhamba ezihlokweni zamajikijolo , uphume impi, ngokuba uNkulunkulu uphumile ngaphambi kwakho ukuchitha impi yamaFilisti.

UDavide waqonda ukuthi uJehova wayemmisile impela ukuba abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba umbuso wakhe waphakanyiselwa phezulu ngenxa yabantu bakhe u-Israyeli.

Ngokuba ngenxa yokungawuthwali kwenu kuqala uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wafohla kithina, ngokuba singamfunanga njengomthetho.

Khona uDavide wathi : Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu nga ungathwalwa muntu, ngamaLevi kuphela , ngokuba yiwona akhet hwe nguJehova ukuthwala umphongolo kaNkulunkulu nokumkhonza kuze kube phakade.

UKhenaniya induna yamaLevi wayephethe umsebenzi wokuthwala ; wayefundisa ukuthwala ngokuba wayekwazi.

Ngokuba mkhulu uJehova , udumisekile kakhulu; uyesabeka phezu kwabo bonke onkulunkulu.

Ngokuba bonke onkulunkulu babezizwe bayizithombe , kepha uJehova walenza izulu.

Khona imithi yehlathi iyakuhuba ngokujabul a ebusweni bukaJehova , ngokuba uyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba.

Bongani uJehova, ngokuba muhle, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade.

bekanye nabo oHemani noJeduthuni nensali yabakhethiweyo abakhonjwa ngamagama ukuba bambonge uJehova, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade;

UNathani wathi kuDavide : Yenza konke okusenhliziyweni yakho , ngokuba uNkulunkulu unawe.

Ngokuba abantu bakho u-Israyeli wabenza babe ngabantu bakho kuze kube phakade, wena Jehova ube nguNkulunkulu wabo.

Ngokuba wena Nkulunkulu wami wambulele endlebeni yenceku yakho ukuthi uyakuyakhela indlu ; ngalokho inceku yakho ifike kulokhu ukuba ikhuleke phambi kwakho.

kalokhu mawuvume ukubusisa indlu yenceku yakho ukuba ibe sebusweni bakho kuze kube phakade , ngokuba okubusisile wena Jehova kuyahlala kubusisekile kuze kube phakade.

ngokuba angihlalanga ndlu kusukela osukwini engakhuphula ngalo u - Israyeli kuze kube namuhla , kepha ngangisematendeni, nasematabernakele ngamatabernakele.

wathuma uHadoramu , indodana yakhe , enkosini uDavide ukuyibingelela nokuyibusisa, ngokuba yay ilwile noHadarezeri , yamnqoba, ngokuba uHadarezeri wayelokhu elwa noThowu; wathuma izinhlobo zonke zezitsha zegolide nezesiliva nezethusi.

UDavide wathi : Ngiyakumenzela umusa uHanuni , indodana kaNahashi, ngokuba uyise wangenzela umusa . UDavide wayesethuma izithunywa ukumduduza ngoyise . Zafika-ke izinceku zikaDavide ezweni labantwana bakwa-Amoni kuHanuni ukumduduza.

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

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

UDavide wathi kuGadi : Nginosizi kakhulu; mangiwele esandleni sikaJehova, ngokuba umusa wakhe mkhulu kakhulu ; kepha esandleni somuntu mangingaweli kuso.

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

Ngokuba itabernakele likaJehova alenza uMose ehlane ne-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa kwakusendaweni ephakemeyo eGibeyoni ngaleso sikhathi.

Kepha uDavide wayengenakuya phambi kwalo ukubuza kuNkulunkulu , ngokuba wagebhezelela inkemba yengelosi kaJehova.

Kepha oLevi noBenjamini akababalanga phakathi kwabo , ngokuba izwi lenkosi lalinengekile kuJowabe.

UDavide wayesethi kuNkulunkulu : Ngonile kakhulu ngalokho engikwenzileyo; kepha manje, Jehova, mawuthethelele ububi benceku yakho, ngokuba ngintumazele kakhulu.

Bheka, ekuhluphekeni kwami ngilungisele indlu kaJehova amatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu egolide , namatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyinkulungwane esiliva, nethusi nensimbi okungenakulinganiswa, ngokuba kuningi; ngilungisile nemithi namatshe; uyakwenezela kukho.

UJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akanani na ? Akaniphanga ukuphumula nxazonke na ? Ngokuba unikele esandleni sami aba khileyo ezweni ; izwe linyatheliwe phambi kukaJehova naphambi kwabantu bakhe.

nemisedari engenakubalwa , ngokuba amaSidoni nabaseTire baletha imisedari eminingi kuDavide.

Kepha izwi likaJehova lafika kimi , lathi: U chithile igazi eliningi , uphake izimpi ezinkulu ; awuyikwakhela igama lami indlu , ngokuba uchithe igazi eliningi emhlabathini emehlweni ami;

bheka, uyakuzalelwa indodana eyakuba ngumuntu wokuthula ; ngiyakumnika ukuphumula ezitheni zakhe nxazonke , ngokuba igama lakhe liyakuba nguSo lomoni; ukuthula nokuzola ngi yakumnika khona u -Israyeli emihleni yakhe;

Ngokuba uDavide wathi : UJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli unike abantu bakhe ukuphumula; uhlezi eJerusalema kuze kube phakade;

Ngokuba amadodana kaLevi abalwa ngamazwi okugcina kaDavide , kusukela kwaneminyaka engamashumi amabili kuya phezulu.

Ngokuba indawo yawo yayingasesandleni samadodana ka-Aroni ukukhonza endlini kaJehova, nasemagcekeni, nasemakamelweni, nokuhlambulula zonke izinto ezingcwele, nomsebenzi wenkonzo endlini kaNkulunkulu,

Bahlukaniswa ngenkatho, laba nalaba, ngokuba kwakukhona izikhulu zendlu engcwele nezikhulu zikaNkulunkulu emadodaneni ka -Eleyazare nasemadodaneni ka-Itamari.

no-Amiyeli owesithupha , no-Isakare owesikhombisa , noPhewuletayi owesishiyagalombili, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wambusisa.

Naye uShemaya indodana yakhe wazalelwa amadodana ayebusa indlu kayise, ngokuba ayengamaqhawe anamandla.

Kepha uDavide akabalanga umumo waba neminyaka engamashumi amabili nabangaphansi, ngokuba uJehova wayeshilo ukuthi uyakwandisa u -Israyeli ukuba abe ngangezinkanyezi zezulu.

Bheka manje , ngokuba uJehova ekukhethile ukwakha indlu ibe yindlu engcwele, qina, ukwenze.

Wayesethi uDavide kuSolomoni indodana yakhe : Qina, ume isibindi, ukwenze; ungesabi, ungabi naluvalo, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu , yebo, uNkulunkulu wami , unawe; akayikukuyeka, akayikukushiya uze uphele wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaJehova.

Kepha wayesethi uNkulunkulu kimi : Awuyikwakhela igama lami indlu , ngokuba uyindoda yempi, uchithile igazi.

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,

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

Wathi kimi : U Solomoni indodana yakho nguye oyakwakha indlu yami namagceke ami , ngokuba ngimkhethile ukuba abe yindodana yami , mina ngibe nguyise.

Wena Solomoni , ndodana yami , yazi uNkulunkulu kayihlo , umkhonze ngenhliziyo epheleleyo nangenhliziyo ethokozayo , ngokuba uJehova uhlola izinhliziyo zonke , uqonda zonke izizindlo zemicabango ; uma umfuna , uyakufunyanwa nguye ; kepha uma umshiya , uyakukulahla kuze kube phakade.

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

Ngobakho, Jehova, ubukhulu, namandla, nodumo, nenkazimulo, nobukhosi, ngokuba konke okusezulwini nasemhlabeni kungokwakho ; ngowakho umbuso , Jehova; wena uphakeme , uyinhloko phezu kwakho konke.

Ngokuba ngingubani mina , nabantu bami , bayini ukuba sibe namandla okunikela ngenhliziyo engaka na ? Ngokuba konke kuvela kuwe , nokuvela esandleni sakho lokhu sikunike wena.

Ngokuba singabafokazi phambi kwakho nezihambi njengabo bonke obaba ; izinsuku zethu emhlabeni zinjengethunzi, nethemba alikho.

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

Wathumela, wamngenisa. Wayebomvana enamehlo amahle , emuhle ngokubukwa. UJehova wathi: Suka umgcobe, ngokuba lona nguye.

USawule wathumela kuJese , wathi: Akeme phambi kwami uDavide , ngokuba ufumene umusa emehlweni ami.

Kepha uJehova wathi kuSamuweli : Ungabheki isimo sakhe nobude bomzimba wakhe, ngokuba ngimalile, lokhu uJehova engabuki si okomuntu; umuntu ubheka okusemehlweni, kepha uJehova ubheka okusenhliziyweni.

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.

UDavide wakhuluma kubantu ababemi naye , wathi: Kuyakwenziwa ntoni kumuntu obulala lowo mFilisti , asuse ihlazo kwa -Israyeli, na? Ngokuba ngubani lowo mFilisti ongasokile ukuba ayeyise impi kaNkulunkulu ophilayo na?

U-Eliyabe umfowabo omkhulu wezwa lapho ekhuluma kubantu ; intukuthelo ka -Eliyabe yamvuthela uDavide, wathi: Wehleleni na? Uzishiye kubani leziya zimvu ezingengakanani ehlane na ? Mina ngiyakwazi ukuziphakamisa kwakho nobubi benhliziyo yakho , ngokuba wehlile ukuba ubuke impi.

USawule wathi kuDavide: Awunamandla okuya kulowo mFilisti, ulwe naye, ngokuba ungumfana nje, yena eyindoda yempi kwasebusheni bakhe.

UDavide wabhinca inkemba yakhe phezu kwezambatho zakhe , wazama ukuhamba, ngokuba wayengakazilingi . UDavide wathi k uSawule: Anginakuhamba nalezi, angikazilingi. UDavide wayesezikhumula.

UmFilisti esabuka wambona uDavide , wameyisa, ngokuba wayengumfana nje, ebomvana, ebukeka emuhle.

yazi yonke le nhlangano ukuthi uJehova akasindisi ngenkemba nangomkhonto; ngokuba ukulwa kungokukaJehova; uyakuninikela esandleni sethu.

USawule wawuciba umkhonto , ngokuba wathi: Ngiyakumbhujela uDavide odongeni. Kepha uDavide washalaza phambi kwakhe kabili.

USawule wamesaba uDavide , ngokuba uJehova wayenaye , kepha wayesukile kuSawule.

OJonathani noDavide be nza isivumelwano , ngokuba wamthanda njengenhliziyo yakhe.

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

Ungasho ukuthi incekukazi yakh o ingowesifazane omubi , ngokuba kungobuningi bosizi lwami nangokuncokolozwa kwami ngikhulumile kuze kube manje.

Kepha uHana akenyukanga , ngokuba wathi kumyeni wakhe : Hhayi aze alunyulwe umntwana ; khona ngiyakumyisa ukuba abonakale phambi kukaJehova, ahlale khona njalo.

kepha wanika uHana isabelo siphindwa kabili , ngokuba wayemthanda uHana, kepha uJehova wayesivalile isizalo sakhe.

Isitha sakhe samncokoloza kakhulu ukuba amthukuthelise, ngokuba uJehova wayesivalile isizalo sakhe.

UJonathani waphinda wamfungisa ukumthanda kwakhe , ngokuba wamthanda njengokuba ethanda umphefumulo wakhe.

UJonathani wayesethi kuye : Kusasa iyakwe thwasa inyanga ; uyakuficwa ungekho, ngokuba isihlalo sakho siyakuba ze.

Bheka, ngiyakuthuma umfana ngokuthi : Hamba ufune imicibisholo . Uma ngithi kumfana: Bheka, imicibisholo inganeno kwakho, yithathe, woza wena, ngokuba ungaba nokuthula, akukho lutho, kuphila kukaJehova.

Kepha uma ngithi kanje kumfana: Bheka, imicibisholo ingalaphaya kwakho, hamba, ngokuba uJehova ukumukisile.

Kodwa uSawule akakhulumanga lutho ngalolo suku , ngokuba wacabanga ukuthi: Okuthile kumehlele; akahlambulukile, impela akahlambulukile.

wathi: Ake ungivumele ukuba ngihambe , ngokuba umndeni wakithi unomhlatshelo emzini ; umfowethu ungiyalile ; manje-ke, uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho , mangihambe ngibone abafowethu . Ngalokho akafikanga etafuleni lenkosi.

Ngokuba izinsuku zonke indodana kaJese isekhona emhlabeni awuyikuzinza nombuso wakho . Ngalokho thumela umlethe kimi , ngokuba ungowokufa yena.

UJonathani wasuka etafuleni evutha ulaka , akadlanga kudla ngosuku lwesibili lwenyanga , ngokuba wayenosizi ngenxa kaDavide, lokhu uyise emhlazisile.

Uma uyihlo engifica ngingekho , wothi: U Davide wacela nokucela ukuba agijimele eBetlehema umuzi wakhe , ngokuba kukhona lapho umhlatsh elo weminyaka ngeminyaka owenzelwa wonke umndeni wakubo.

Ngalokho yenzela inceku yakho isihawu , ngokuba ungenisile inceku yakho esivumelwaneni sikaJehova nawe; kepha uma kukhona ububi kimi, ngibulale wena, ngokuba ubuyakungiyiselani kuyihlo na?

UJonathani wathi : Makube kude nawe , ngokuba uma bengazi nakanci ukuthi kunqunywe okubi ngubaba ukuba wehlelwe yikho , bengingayikukutshela na?

Umpristi wayesemnika isinkwa esingcwele , ngokuba kwakungekho sinkwa lapho, isinkwa sokubukwa kuphela , ebesisusiwe phambi kukaJehova ukuba kubekwe isinkwa esisashisayo mhla sisuswa.

UDavide wathi ku -Ahimeleki: Akukho lapho phansi kwesandla sakho umkhonto noma inkemba na? Ngokuba angifikanga nenkemba yami nezikhali zami, ngokuba udaba lwenkosi lwalusheshisa.

Wayesethi umpristi : Inkemba kaGoliyati umFilisti owambulala esigodini sase-Ela, bheka, ilapho, isongiwe ngengubo emva kwengubo yamahlombe . Uma uthanda ukuyithatha, yithathe, ngokuba ayikho lapha enye ngaphandle kwayo. UDavide wathi: Ayikho enjengayo; nginike yona.

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 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.

Hlala kimi , ungesabi, ngokuba ofuna ukuphila kwami ufuna ukuphila kwakho, kepha uyakulondolozeka kimi.

ngokuba ningenzele nonke ugobe , akwababikho ongitshelileyo lapho indodana yami yenza isivumelwano nendodana kaJese , akwababikho kini ongidabukelayo nongitshelayo ukuthi indodana yami ingivusele inceku yami ukuba ingiqamekele njenganamuhla.

Wathi kuye : Ungesabi, ngokuba isandla sikaSawul e ubaba asiyikukufumana; wena uyakuba yinkosi phezu kuka -Israyeli, mina ngikwelame; noSawule ubaba uyakwazi lokho.

USawule wathi: Manibusiswe, ngokuba ningihawukele.

Manihambe, niqinise, nazi, nibone indawo yakhe lapho kukhona unyawo lwakhe nokuthi ubonwe ngubani khona , ngokuba ngitsheliwe ukuthi unobuqili impela.

USawule wahamba ngalapha kwentaba , uDavide nabantu bakhe bahamba ngale kwentaba; uDavide washesha wahamba ngokumesaba uSawule , ngokuba uSawule nabantu bakhe bahaqa uDavide nabantu bakhe ukuba bababambe.

Kepha kwafika isithunywa kuSawule , sithi: Shesha ufike , ngokuba amaFilisti angenele izwe.

UDavide waphinda wabuza kuJehova . UJehova wamphendula wathi : Suka wehlele eKeyila, ngokuba ngiyakunikela amaFilisti esandleni sakho.

Kwabikwa kuSawule ukuthi uDavide ufikile eKeyila . Wayesethi uSawule : UNkulunkulu umkhaphele esandleni sami , ngokuba uzivalele ngokungena emzini onamasango nemigoqo.

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.

Futhi, baba, bheka, yebo, bheka, umphetho wengubo yakho usesandleni sami, ngokuba lokhu ngasika umphetho wengubo yakho ngingakubulalanga , yazi, ubone ukuthi akukho bubi nasiphambeko esandleni sami , angonanga kuwe, noma uqamekela ukuphila kwami ukuba ukuthathe.

Wayesethi kuDavide : Ulungile kunami , ngokuba wena ungiphindisele ngokuhle, kepha mina ngikuphindisele ngokubi.

Ngokuba uma umuntu efica isitha sakhe , uyasivumela ukuba sihambe ngendlela enhle na ? UJehova makakuphindisele ngokuhle ngokwenzileyo kimi namuhla.

Kwathi ngasemuva uDavide wahlabeka enhliziyweni , ngokuba wayesikile umphetho wengubo kaSawule.

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

UDavide wayeshilo ukuthi : Impela ngikugcinele ize konke lowo muntu anakho ehlane ukuba angalahlekelwa lutho lwakho konke okwakhe, ngokuba ungibuyisele okubi ngokuhle.

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.

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.

Ngokuba impela, kuphila kukaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ongivimbele ukuze ngingakulimazi , uma ungasheshanga ukuza ukuba ungihlangabeze , impela nga kungasalanga kuNabali ngasekuseni kusasa nokukodwa okungokwesilisa.

U-Abigayili wafika kuNabali ; bheka, wayenedili endlini yak he, linjengedili lenkosi; inhliziyo kaNabali yayithokoza phakathi kwakhe , ngokuba wayephuze kakhulu ; ngalokho akamtshelanga lutho oluncane nolukhul u kwaze kwaba sekuseni.

Buza izinsizwa zakho , ziyakukutshela; ngalokho izinsizwa mazithole umusa emehlweni akho, ngokuba sifikile ngosuku oluhle ; ake unike izi nceku zakho nendodana yakho uDavide okungafunyanwa esandleni sakho.

UDavide wayesethatha umkhonto nesigubhu samanzi ngasekhanda likaSawule, bahamba, kungaboni muntu, kungazi muntu, kungavuki muntu, ngokuba babelele bonke , lokhu bebehlelwe ngubuthongo obunzima obuvela kuJehova.

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.

USawule wathi : Ngonile; buya, ndodana yami Davide , ngokuba angisayikukulimaza, lokhu ukuphila kwami bekuyigugu emehlweni akho namuhla; bheka, ngenze okwesiwula, ngidukile kakhulu.

UDavide wathi ku -Abishayi: Ungambulali, ngokuba ngubani ongelul ela isandla sakhe kogcotshiweyo kaJehova, angabi nacala, na?

UDavide wathi ku -Akhishi: Uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho , mabanginike indawo komunye wemizi yasemaphandleni ukuba ngihlale khona, ngokuba inceku yakho izakuhlalelani nawe emzini wenkosi na?

UDavide nabantu bakhe benyuka , bangenela amaGeshuri , namaGirizi, nama-Amaleki, ngokuba lawo ayakhe kulelo zwe kwasendulo ekuyiweni eShuri kuze kube sezweni laseGibithe.

Lapho owesifazane embona uSamuweli , wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu ; owesifazane wakhuluma noSawule , wathi: Ungikhohliseleni na ? Ngokuba unguSawule.

USamuweli wathi kuSawule : Unginyakaziselani ukuba ungenyuse na ? USawule waphendula wathi : Ngihluphekile kakhulu , ngokuba amaFilisti ayalwa nami ; uNkulunkulu ungishiyile , akasangiphenduli nangabaprofethi nangamaphupho; ngalokho ngikubizele ukuba ungazise ukuthi ngiyakwenze njani.

Ngokuba awulalelanga izwi likaJehova , awenzanga ulaka lwakhe olushisayo phezu kwama -Amaleki; ngalokho uJehova wenzile lokhu kuwe namuhla.

USawule wayesewela phan si ngekhanda, wesaba kakhulu ngenxa yamazwi kaSamuweli, akwabakho mandla kuye , ngokuba akadlanga lutho ngosuku lonke nobusuku bonke.

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?

U-Akhishi wambiza uDavide , wathi kuye : Kuphila kukaJehova , wena uqotho; ukuphuma kwakho nokungena kwakho nami empini kuhle emehlweni ami , ngokuba angifumananaga bubi kuwe kusukela osukwini lokufika kwakho kimi kuze kube namuhla ; nokho emehlweni amakhosi awumuhle.

UHana wakhuleka wathi : Inhliziyo yami iyethaba kuJehova , uphondo lwami luphakeme kuJehova; umlomo wami ukhamisile phezu kwezitha zami, ngokuba ngenama ngensindiso yakho.

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

Isono sezinsizwa sasisikhulu kakhulu phambi kukaJehova , ngokuba abantu bawudelela umnikelo kaJehova.

Akakho ongcwele njeng oJehova, ngokuba akakho noyedwa ngaphandle kwakho; futhi alikho idwala elinjengoNkulunkulu wethu.

Wathi kuwo : Nenzelani izinto ezinjalo na ? Ngokuba ngiyezwa imisebenzi yenu emibi kubo bonke laba bantu.

Uma umuntu ona kumuntu , uNkulunkulu uyakumahlulela , kepha uma umuntu ona kuJehova , uyakulanyulelwa ngubani na ? Kodwa awalalelanga izwi likayise, ngokuba uJehova wayethanda ukuwabulala.

Ningabe nisakhuluma ngokuzidla kangaka , kungaphumi ukuqhosha emlonyeni wenu , ngokuba uJehova unguNkulunkulu wokwazi ; izenzo zilinganiswa nguye.

Ngalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli uthi: Ngasho nokusho ukuthi indlu yakho nendlu kayihlo yohamba phambi kwami kuze kube phakade . Kepha manje uJehova uthi : M akube kude nami , ngokuba abangidumisayo ngiyakubadumisa; abangidelelayo bayakweyiswa.

Uyamvusa ompofu othulini , uyaphakamisa impabanga ezaleni , abahlalise nezikhulu, badle ifa lesihlalo sobukhosi , ngokuba izinsika zomhlaba zingezikaJehova; ubekile izwe phezu kwazo.

Uyakugcina izinyaw o zabathembekileyo bakhe , kepha ababi bayakuthuliswa ebumnyameni , ngokuba akukho muntu oyakwahlula ngamandla.

Kodwa UDavide waxosha , yena nabantu abangamakhulu amane , ngokuba abangamakhulu amabili basala emuva , bezukekile ukuze bangaweli umfudlana iBesori.

bamnika nocezu lwesigaxa samakhiwane , nezigaxa ezimbili zezithelo zomvini ezomileyo ; esedlile kwabuyela kuye umoya wakhe , ngokuba wayengadlanga sinkwa , engaphuzanga manzi , izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu.

UDavide wathi kuye : Ungokabani na ? Uvelaphi na ? Wathi: Ngiyinsizwa yaseGibithe, inceku yomAmaleki , kepha inkosi yami yangishiya , ngokuba sekuyizinsuku ezintathu ngigula.

Ngubani oyakunilalela kule ndaba na ? Ngokuba njengesabelo sowehlele empini siyakuba n jalo isabelo salowo owasala nempahla ; bayakwabelwa ngokulingeneyo.

UDavide wayehlupheka kakhulu , ngokuba abantu bekhuluma ngokumkhanda ngamatshe , lokhu izinhliziyo zabo bonke abantu zazinomunyu, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngenxa yamadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe ; kepha uDavide waziqinisa kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

UDavide wabuza kuJehova, wathi: Ngixoshe lelo viyo na ? Ngingalifica na? Wamphendula wathi: Xosha, ngokuba uyakulifica impela, ukhulule konke.

USawule wayesethi odibini lwezikhali zakhe : Hosha inkemba yakho , ungigwaze ngayo , funa labo abangasokile bafike , bangigwaze, bangone. Kepha aluvumanga udibi lwezikhali zakhe, ngokuba lwesaba kakhulu . Ngalokho uSawule wayithatha inkemba, wawela phezu kwayo.

UJehova wafika , wema, wambiza njengakwe zinye izikhathi : Samuweli, Samuweli! USamuweli wathi: Khuluma, ngokuba inceku yakho iyezwa.

Ngokuba ngimtshelile ukuthi ngiyakwahlulela indlu yakhe kuze kube phakade ngobubi abaziyo , lokhu amadodana akhe ayezehlisela isiqalekiso, engawakhuzanga.

UJehova waphinda wabonakala eShilo , ngokuba uJehova wazibonakalisa kuSamuweli eShilo ngezwi likaJehova.

U-Eli wathi kuSamuweli : Hamba, ulale; kuyakuthi uma ekubiza , usho ukuthi: Khuluma, Jehova, ngokuba inceku yakho iyezwa . Wayesehamba uSamuweli, walala endaweni yakhe.

AmaFilisti alwa , u-Israyeli wachithwa , babaleka, kwaba yilowo nalowo etendeni lakhe; kwaba khona ukuceka okukhulu, ngokuba kwawa ku-Israyeli abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu aba yimigundatshani.

Ekufikeni kwakhe, bheka, u-Eli wayehlezi esihlalweni sakhe ngaseceleni komgwaqo, ngokuba inhliziyo yakhe yayithuthumela ngomphongolo kaNkulunkulu. Esengenile emzini lowo muntu , wakubika, wakhala umuzi wonke.

Kwathi esaphatha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu , wawa nyovane esihlalweni sakhe ngaseceleni kwesango , kwaphuka intamo yakhe , wafa, ngokuba wayengumuntu omdala, esinda. Wayebahlulele abakwa-Israyeli iminyaka engamashumi amane.

Umalokazana wakhe , umkaFinehasi, wayekhulelwe esezakubeletha ; esezwile umbiko wokuthi umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uthathiwe nokuthi kufile uyisezala nomyeni wakhe , wakhonkobala, wabeletha, ngokuba wafikelwa yimihelo.

Ngesikhathi sokufa kwakhe abesifazane ababemi kuye bathi kuye : Ungesabi, ngokuba ubelethe indodana . Kepha akaphendulanga , akakunakanga.

Wamqamba umntwana ngokuthi u -Ikabodi, ethi: Inkazimulo isukile kwa - Israyeli, ngokuba umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uthathiwe, nangenxa kayisezala wakhe nomyeni wakhe.

Wathi: Inkazimulo isukile kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uthathiwe.

AmaFilisti esaba, ngokuba athi: UNkulunkulu ufikile ekamu . Athi-ke: Maye kithina! Ngokuba akuzange kube khona okunje ngaphambili.

Bathuma babutha onke amakhosi amaFilisti , bathi: Wususeni umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, ubuyele endlini yawo , ukuba ungasibulali thina nabantu bakithi, ngokuba kwakukhona ukungquzuka okokufa emzini wonke; isandla sikaNkulunkulu sasinzima kakhulu khona.

Abantu base -Ashidodi sebebona ukuthi kunjalo bathi : Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli awuyikuhlala kithi , ngokuba isandla sakhe silukhuni phezu kwethu naphezu kukaDagoni unkulunkulu wethu.

Wabulala abantu baseBeti Shemeshi , ngokuba babebukile umphongolo kaJehova; wabulala kubantu amadoda angamashumi ayisikhombisa emadodeni ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisihlanu ; abantu balila , ngokuba uJehova wabulala abantu ngokubulala okukhulu.

Athi: Uyakuba yini umnikelo wecala esiyakuwubuyisela kuye na ? Bathi: Amathumba ayisihlanu egolide namagundane ayisihlan u egolide njengomumo wamakhosi amaFilisti , ngokuba kuyisifo sinye esikubo bonke nakuwo amakhosi enu.

Wayebuyela eRama, ngokuba indlu yakhe yayilapho ; wahlulela u -Israyeli khona, wamakhela lapho uJehova i-altare.

Kwathi kusukela osukwini umphongolo owahlala ngalo eKiriyati Jeharimi , kwaba yisikhathi eside , ngokuba saba yiminyaka engamashumi amabili ; yonke indlu yakwa-Israyeli yakhalela uJehova.

UJehova wathi kuSamuweli : Lalela izwi labantu kukho konke abakushoyo kuwe, ngokuba akusuwe abakulahlileyo, kepha balahle mina, ukuze ngingabi yinkosi phezu kwabo.

Abaphendula athi : Ukhona; nangu ngaphambi kwakho ; shesha kodwa , ngokuba ufikile namuhla emzini , lokhu abantu benomhlatshelo namuhla endaweni ephakemeyo;

ekungeneni kwenu emzini niyakumfumana , engakenyukeli endaweni ephakemeyo ukuyokudla ; ngokuba abantu abayikudla engakafiki , lokhu nguye obusisa umhlatshelo , andukuba abamenyi weyo badle . Ngalokho-ke, khuphukani manje, ngokuba niyakumfumana ngalesi sikhathi.

Kusasa ngalesi sikhath i ngiyakuthuma kuwe umuntu wasezweni lakwaBenjamini; uyakumgcoba abe ngumholi wabantu bami u -Israyeli, asindise abantu bami esandleni samaFilisti , ngokuba ngibonile abantu bami , lokhu ukukhala kwabo kufikile kimi.

USamuweli wamphendula uSawule, wathi: Yimi engingumboni; khuphuka phambi kwam i, uye endaweni ephakemeyo , ngokuba niyakudla nami namuhla; ekuseni ngiyakukumukisa , ngikutshele konke okusenhliziyweni yakho.

Izimbongolo zakho esezinezinsuku ezintathu zilahlekile, ungabeki inhliziyo yakho kuzo , ngokuba zitholiwe . Ngokukabani konke oku nxanelekayo kwa - Israyeli na? Akusikho okwakho nokwendlu yonke kayihlo na?

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.

Wayesethi uSawule kuyo inceku yakhe : Kepha bheka , uma siya khona , siyakulethani kulowo muntu na ? Ngokuba isinkwa siphelile ezitsheni zethu ; akukho nto esingayiyisa kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu; sinani, pho, na?

Endulo kwa -Israyeli, lapho umuntu ebeyakubuza kuNkulunkulu , washo wathi: Woza siye kumboni ; ngokuba lo othiwa umprofethi manje wabizwa kuqala ngokuthi umboni.

Ngalokho ngibizele bonke abaprofethi bakaBali, zonke izinceku zakhe, nabo bonke abapristi bakhe, kungasali muntu, ngokuba nginomhlatshelo omkhulu kuBali; bonke abafunyaniswa bengekho abayikuphila . Kepha uJehu wakwenza ngobuqili ukuba abhubhise izinceku zikaBali.

UJehoyada, umpristi, wayala izinduna zamakhulu ezazibekwe phezu kwempi, wathi kuzo : Mkhipheni endlini , nimngenise phakathi kwezinhla ; omlandelayo nimbulale ngenkemba ; ngokuba umpristi wathi : Makangabulawa endlini kaJehova.

ngokuba bayinika abasebenzayo, balungisa ngayo indlu kaJehova.

Ababalelananga nabantu imali abayibeka ezandleni zabo ukunika abasebenzayo, ngokuba babethembekile ekuphatheni kwabo.

Wathi: Vula ifasitele ngasempumalanga . Yalivula. Wayesethi u -Elisha: Cibishela. Yacibishela-ke. Wathi: Ngumcibisholo kaJehova wokusindisa , umcibisholo wokusindiswa kuma -Aramu, ngokuba uyakubulala ama -Aramu e-Afeki, uwaqede.

UJehowahazi wakhuleka kuJehova , uJehova wamuzwa , ngokuba wabona ukucindezelwa kuka-Israyeli ukuthi inkosi yase-Aramu yayibacindezela.

Ngokuba akashiyanga abantu kuJehowahazi , kuphela abamahhashi abangamashumi ayisihlanu , nezinqola eziyishumi , nemigundatshani eyizinkulungwane eziyishumi , ngokuba inkosi yase -Aramu yabac hitha, yabenza baba njengothuli ekubhuleni.

Ngokuba uJehova wabona ukuhlupheka kuka-Israyeli ukuthi kwakumunyu kakhulu, abancane nabakhulu baphela amandla , kungekho omsizayo u - Israyeli.

Ngaleso sikhathi uMenahemu wachitha iThifisa , nakho konke okwakukulo, nemikhawulo yalo , kusukela eTirisa ; ngokuba bengamvulelanga, ngalokho walichitha; nabo bonke abesifazane abakhulelweyo abakulo wabaqaqa.

Ngokuba wahlwitha u -Israyeli endlini kaDavide ; bambeka uJerobowamu indodana kaNebati inkosi ; uJerobowamu wamqubula u -Israyeli ukuba angamlandeli uJehova, wamonisa ngesono esikhulu.

Base bekhuluma enkosini yase -Asiriya, bethi: Abezizwe obasusileyo wabahlalisa emizini yaseSamariya abawazi umthetho kaNkulunkulu wezwe ; ngalokho uthumile izingonyama phakathi kwabo ; bheka, ziyababulala, ngokuba abawazi umthetho kaNkulunkulu wezwe.

Inkosi yase-Asiriya yafumana ugobe kuHosheya , ngokuba wayethume izithunywa kuSo inkosi yaseGibithe , engasenyusi ntela enkosini yase -Asiriya njengokwenza kwakhe imihla ngemihla ; ngalokho inkosi yase -Asiriya yamvalela, yambopha etilongweni.

Kwaba njalo , ngokuba abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babonile kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabo owabakhuphula ezweni laseGibithe esandleni sikaFaro inkosi yaseGibithe, besaba abanye onkulunkulu,

ngokuba abalalelanga izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo , kepha beqa isivumelwano sakhe ; konke ayala ngakho uMose inceku kaJehova kabavumanga ukukulalela nokukwenza.

Base bethi u -Eliyakimi indodana kaHilikiya noShebina noJowa kuRabi Shake: Ake ukhulume ezincekwini zakho ngesi -Aramu, ngokuba siy aluzwa, ungakhulumi kithi ngolimi lwabaJuda ezindlebeni zabantu abasogangeni.

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,

Kepha abantu bathula, abamphendulanga ngazwi, ngokuba umyalo wenkosi wathi: Ningamphenduli.

Wasusa izindawo eziphakemeyo , wadiliza izinsika , wanquma o -Ashera, wachitha inyoka yethusi ayeyenzile uMose , ngokuba abantwana bakwa - Israyeli babeshisa impepho kuyo kwaze kwaba ngalezo zinsuku ; yabizwa ngokuthi uNehushitani.

Ngokuba wabambelela kuJehova , akasukanga ekumlandeleni , kepha wagcina imiyalo yakhe uJehova ayala ngayo uMose.

alahlile onkulunkulu bawo emlilweni , ngokuba babengesibo onkulunkulu , babe ngumsebenzi wezandla zomuntu kuphela , umuthi namatshe; ngalokho abachithile.

Bathi kuye : Usho kanje uHezekiya , uthi: Lolo suku lungusuku losizi nolokusolwa nolokudelelwa , ngokuba abantwana sebefikile ekuzalweni , kepha amandla okubeletha awakho.

Ngokuba kuyakuphuma eJerusalema insal i nasentabeni yaseSiyoni abayakusinda; ukushisekela kukaJehova kuyakufeza lokho.

Wayesebuya uRabi Shake , wafumana inkosi yase -Asiriya ilwa neLibina , ngokuba wayezwile ukuthi isukile eLakishi.

Yayisifa njengezwi likaJehova alikhulum ileyo u-Eliya. UJehoramu waqala ukubusa esikhundleni sakhe ngomnyaka wesibili kaJehoramu indodana kaJehoshafati, inkosi yakwaJuda, ngokuba wayengenandodana.

Ngalezo zinsuku uHezekiya wagula, wayephansi kokufa . Kwafika kuye u - Isaya umprofethi, indodana ka-Amose, wathi kuye: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Yalela indlu yakho, ngokuba uyakufa, awuyikusinda.

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,

ngokuba yenzile okubi emehlweni ami , ingicunulile kusukela osukwini oyise abaphuma ngalo eGibithe kuze kube namuhla.

Hambani ningibuzele kuJehova , mina nabantu , naye wonke uJuda ngamazwi ale ncwadi efunyenweyo , ngokuba inkulu intukuthelo kaJehova esivuthelayo, ngokuba obaba abalalelanga amazwi ale ncwadi ukwenza njengakho konke okulotshiwe ngathi. Umprofethikazi uHulida

ngokuba bangishiyile , bashisela abanye onkulunkulu impepho baze bangicunula ngawo wonke umsebenzi wezandla zabo ; intukuthelo yami iyakuvuthela le ndawo, ayiyikucinywa.

Nokho akubalelwananga nabo ngemali eyabekwa esandleni sabo , ngokuba babethembekile ekuphatheni kwabo. Incwadi yomthetho

Ngokuba iphasika elinjalo lalingagcinwanga kusukela emihleni yabahluleli abahlulela u -Israyeli, nasemihleni yonke yamakhosi akwa -Israyeli, nakweyakwaJuda.

U-Asa wakhala kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe , wathi: Jehova, akakho ngaphandle kwakho ongasiza phakathi konamandla amak hulu nongenawo ; sisize, Jehova Nkulunkulu wethu , ngokuba sencika kuwe , sifike ngegama lakho kulesi sixuku . Jehova, wena unguNkulunkulu wethu , mawungahlulwa muntu.

U-Asa na bantu ababe naye bawaxosha kwaze kwaba seGerari, kwawa amaKushe kwaze kwangasala muntu ophilayo , ngokuba achithwa phambi kukaJehova naphambi kwempi yakhe, bamuka nempango enkulu kakhulu.

Bachitha yonke imizi ezungeza iGerari , ngokuba ingebhe ngoJehova yayiphezu kwabo ; baphanga yonke imizi, ngokuba kwakukhona impango eningi kuyo.

Wakha imizi ebiyelweyo kwaJuda , ngokuba izwe lazola , engenampi kuleyo minyaka, ngokuba uJehova wayemphumuzile.

Wonke uJuda wathokoza ngesifungo , ngokuba babefungile ngayo yonke inhliziyo yabo , bamfuna ngakho konke ukufisa kwabo ; wafunyanwa yibo ; uJehova wabaphumuza nxazonke.

Wamsusa uMahakha unina ka -Asa inkosi ebukhosikazini , ngokuba wayemenzele u -Ashera isithombe esinengekayo ; u-Asa wagawula isithombe sakhe, wasicolisisa, wasishisa ngasemfudlaneni iKidroni.

Ngaleso sikhathi kwakungekho kuthula kophumayo nakongenayo , ngokuba ukuphaphatheka okukhulu kwakukhona phezu kwabo bonke abakhe ezweni.

Isizwe saphahlazwa yisizwe nomuzi ngumuzi , ngokuba uNkulunkulu wabesabisa ngezinkathazo zonke.

Kepha nina yibani namandla, zingadangali izandla zenu, ngokuba umsebenzi wenu uyakuba nomvuzo wawo.

Wabutha wonke uJuda noBenjamini nabagogobele kubo bevela kwa - Efrayimi, nakwaManase, nakwaSimeyoni, ngokuba abaningi bahlubukela kuye bevela kwa-Israyeli, lapho bebona ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe unaye.

Ngokuba amehlo kaJehova aqalaza emhlabeni wonke ukuba abe namandla kwabanhliziyo yabo iphelele kuye ; wenze ngobuwula kule nto , ngokuba kusukela manje uyakuba nokulwa njalo.

UJehova wayenaye uJehoshafati , ngokuba wahamba ngezindlela zokuqala zikayise uDavide, akafunanga oBali,

Bonke abaprofethi baprofetha kanje , bathi: Khuphukela eRamoti Gileyadi , ube nempumelelo, ngokuba uJehova uyakulinikela esandleni senkosi.

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

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

Inkosi yakwa -Israyeli yathi kuJehoshafati : Kusekhona umuntu munye esingabuza ngaye kuJehova , kodwa ngiyamzonda , ngokuba akazange aprofethe okuhle ngami, kepha okubi njalo; nguMikhaya indodana kaJimila. Wathi uJehoshafati: Inkosi mayingasho njalo.

Nokho kufunyaniswa kuwe nezin to ezinhle , ngokuba ususile o -Ashera ezweni, wabhekisa inhliziyo yakho ukuba ifune uNkulunkulu. UJehoshafati umisa abahluleli

Bhekani enikwenzayo , ngokuba anahluleleli umuntu kepha uNkulunkulu , onani ekwahluleleni.

Ngalokho ingebhe ngoJeho va mayibe phezu kwenu ; qaphelani nikwenze , ngokuba ukungalungi akukho kuJehova uNkulunkulu wethu , nokukhetha ubuso, nokwamukela umvuzo.

Ngiphe manje ukuhlakanipha nokwazi ukuba ngiphume , ngingene phambi kwalabo bantu , ngokuba ngubani ongahlulela labo bantu bakho abakhulu kangaka na?

Wahamba uSolomoni, nebandla lonke linaye , waya endaweni ephakemeyo yaseGibeyoni, ngokuba kwakukhona lapho itende lokuhlangana likaNkulunkulu elalenziwe nguMose inceku kaJehova ehlane.

Kepha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uDavide wayewukhuphulile eKiriyati Jeharimi, wawuyisa endaweni uDavide ayewulungisele yona , ngokuba wayewumisele itende eJerusalema.

Ngalokho, Jehova Nkulunkulu , maliqiniswe izwi lakho kuDavide ubaba , ngokuba ungibeke inkosi phezu kwabantu abangangothuli lomhlabathi ngobuningi.

Nkulunkulu wethu, awuyikubahlulela na? Ngokuba asinamandla ebusweni balesi sixuku esikhulu esisifikelayo ; futhi asazi ukuthi siyakwenze njani , kodwa amehlo ethu akuwe.

wathi: Yizwani nina nonke bakwaJuda, nabakhileyo eJerusalema , nawe nkosi Jehoshafati : usho kanje kini uJehova , uthi: Ningesabi, ningapheli amandla ngenxa yalesi sixuku esikhulu , ngokuba impi ayisiyo eyenu , ngekaNkulunkulu.

Akusikho okwenu ukulwa kule mpi ; zihleleni, nime, nibone ukunisindisa kukaJehova, nina Juda neJerusalema ; ningesabi, ningapheli amandla ; phumelani kubo kusasa, ngokuba uJehova unani.

Eselulekene nabantu wamisa abayakuhlabelela kuJehova ukuba bamdumise behlotshisiwe ngobungcwele , besaphuma ngaphambi kwempi , bathi: Bongani uJehova, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade.

Lapho uJehoshafati nabantu bakhe befika ukuqoqa impango kubo , bafumanisa phakathi kwabo ubuningi bengcebo nezidumbu nezinto ezinxanelekayo, bazihlubulela zona , kwaze kwangabakho ongazithwala ; kwaba yizinsuku ezintathu beqoqa impango, ngokuba yayiningi kangaka.

Ngosuku lwesine babuthana esiGodini saseBerakha , ngokuba bambonga uJehova khona ; ngalokho igama laleyo ndawo labizwa ngokuthi isiGodi saseBerakha kuze kube namuhla.

Base bebuya bonke abantu bakwaJuda nabaseJerusalema , uJehoshafati ephambi kwabo, ukuba babuyele eJerusalema ngentokozo, ngokuba uJehova wayesebathokozisile phezu kwezitha zabo.

Umbuso kaJehoshafati wawusuzola, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wakhe wamnika ukuphumula nxazonke.

Uma sehlelwa ngokubi, inkemba, nokwahlulelwa, nesifo, nendlala, siyakuma phambi kwale ndlu naphambi kwakho, ngokuba igama lakho likule ndlu, sikhale kuwe ekuhluphekeni kwethu, uyakuzwa, usisindise.

Wahlubuka-ke u-Edomi phansi kwesandla sakwaJuda kuze kube namuhla ; khona lahlubuka neLibina ngasona leso sikhathi phansi kwesandla sakhe , ngokuba wayemshiyile uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

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,

Uyise wabanika izipho ezinkulu zesiliva nezegolide, namagugu kanye nemizi ebiyelweyo kwaJuda , kepha umbuso wawunika uJehoramu , ngokuba wayeyizibulo.

Wahamba ngendlela yamakhosi akwa -Israyeli njengokwenza kw endlu ka - Ahabi, ngokuba indodakazi ka -Ahabi yayingumkakhe ; wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova.

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.

Kodwa uJehoshabeyati, indodakazi yenkosi, wamthatha uJowashi indodana ka-Ahaziya, wameba phakathi kw amadodana enkosi abulawayo , wambeka nomzanyana wakhe ekamelweni lokulala . UJehoshabeyati, indodakazi yenkosi uJehoramu, umkaJehoyada umpristi -- ngokuba wayengudadewabo ka-Ahaziya -- wamfihla ebusweni buka-Athaliya, ukuze angambulali.

Naye wahamba ngezindlela zendlu ka -Ahabi, ngokuba unina wayengomeluleka ukwenza okubi.

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

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.

Ukubhubha kuka -Ahaziya kwavela kuNkulunkulu ekuyeni kwakhe kuJoramu, ngokuba lapho esefikile khona waphuma noJehoramu ukulwa noJehu indodana kaNimishi , amgcobileyo uJehova ukuba anqume indlu ka - Ahabi.

Wamfuna u-Ahaziya, bambamba; wayecashile eSamariya bamletha kuJehu, bambulala; bammbela, ngokuba bathi: Uyindodana kaJehoshafati owamfuna uJehova ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke . Indlu ka -Ahaziya yayingasenamandla okuwugcina umbuso. U-Athaliya ungumbusi

UJehoyada wayesezikhipha izinduna zamakhulu ezazibekwe phezu kwempi, wathi kuzo : Mkhipheni endlini , nimngenise phakathi kwezinhla; omlandelayo nimbulale ngenkemba ; ngokuba umpristi wathi : Ningambulali endlini kaJehova.

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

AmaLevi naye wonke uJuda b enza njengakho konke uJehoyada umpristi ayale ngakho , bathatha, kwaba yilowo nalowo abantu bakhe ababeyakungena ngesabatha kanye nababeyakuphuma ngesabatha , ngokuba uJehoyada umpristi akamukisanga izigaba.

Bammbela emzini kaDavide phakathi kwamakhosi , ngokuba wayenze okuhle kwa-Israyeli, nakuNkulunkulu, nasendlini yakhe.

UMoya kaNkulunkulu wembesa uZakariya indodana kaJehoyada umpristi; wema ngaphezu kwabantu , wathi kubo : Usho kanje uNkulunkulu , uthi: Neqelani imiyalo kaJehova ukuba ningabi nampumelelo na ? Ngokuba nimshiyile uJehova, naye unishiyile nina.

Ngokuba impi yase -Aramu yafika neviyo elincane labantu , nokho uJehova wanikela impi enkulu kakhulu esandleni sabo , ngokuba babemshiyile uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise. Base bemahlulela uJowashi.

Lapho sebemukile kuye ngokuba bamshiya egula kakhulu izinceku zakhe zamenzela ugobe ngenxa yegazi lamadodana kaJehoyada umpristi, zambulala embhedeni wakhe, wafa; bammbela emzini kaDavide, kodwa abammbelanga emathuneni amakhosi.

Ngokuba amadodana ka-Athaliya, owesifazane lowo omubi , ayeyichithile indlu kaNkulunkulu , nezinto zonke ezingcwele zendlu kaJehova azenza ukuba zibe ngezikaBali.

Kwathi esakhuluma naye , wathi kuye : Sikubeke umluleki wenkosi na ? Yeka, ubuyakubulawelani na? Wayeseyeka umprofethi, wathi: Ngiyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu unqumile ukukubhubhisa , ngokuba wenzile lokho , ungalalelanga isiluleko sami.

Kepha u-Amasiya akalalelanga , ngokuba kwavela kuNkulunkulu ukuba abanikele esandleni sezitha zabo , ngokuba babefunile onkulunkulu bakwa - Edomi.

Kepha kwafika kuye umuntu kaNkulunkulu , wathi: Nkosi, impi yakwa - Israyeli mayingahambi nawe , ngokuba uJehova akasenaye u -Israyeli nabo bonke abantwana bakwa-Efrayimi,

kepha noma kuhamba wena , ukwenza, uziqinisela impi ; uNkulunkulu uyakukuwisa phansi ebuswen i bezitha . Ngokuba uNkulunkulu unamandla okuwisa phansi nokusiza.

Wakha imibhoshongo ehlane , wemba imigodi eminingi yamanzi , ngokuba wayenezinkomo eziningi ehlanzeni nasethafeni , wayenabalimi nabaphathi bezivini ezintabeni naseKarmeli, ngokuba wayengothanda umhlabathi.

Wenza eJerusalema imishini eyaqanjwa ngokuhlakanipha ukuba ibe phezu kwemibhoshongo nasezingosini , kuphonswe ngayo imicibisholo namatshe amakhulu. Igama lakhe laphumela ekudeni , ngokuba wasizwa ngokumangalisayo waze waba namandla.

bamelana no -Uziya inkosi , bathi kuye : Akusikho okwakho , Uziya, ukushisela uJehova impepho , kungokwabapristi, amadodana ka -Aroni, abangcweliselwe uku shisa impepho ; phuma endlini engcwele , ngokuba wenze isiphambeko ; futhi awuyikuba nodumo oluvela kuJehova uNkulunkulu.

U-Azariya, umpristi omkhulu , nabo bonke abapristi bambuka ; bheka, wayenochoko ebunzini lakhe; bashesha bamkhipha khona; naye waphuthuma ukuphuma, ngokuba uJehova wayemshayile.

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.

U-Uziya wayeselala koyise ; bammbela koyise ngaphandle kwamathuna amakhosi, ngokuba bathi: Ungonochoko. UJothamu, indodana yakhe, waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Abakwa-Amoni bathela intela ku -Uziya; igama lakhe lahamba laze lafika nasekuyeni eGibithe, ngokuba waba namandla kakhulu.

UJothamu waba namandla , ngokuba walungisa izindlela zakhe phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

Ngalokho ngizweni , nibuyise abathunjwa enibathumbile kubafowenu , ngokuba ulaka olushisayo lukaJehova luphezu kwenu.

bathi kubo : Ningabangenisi abathunjwa lapha , ngokuba nicabanga okuyakuba yicala lethu kuJehova ukuba kwenezele ezonweni zethu nasecaleni lethu, ngokuba icala lethu selilikhulu namanje ; ulaka olushisayo luphezu kuka-Israyeli.

Ngokuba phezu kwakho konke babef ikile abakwa -Edomi, bashaya uJuda , bathumba abathunjwa.

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

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

Wahlabela onkulunkulu baseDamaseku ababemshayile , wathi: Ngokuba onkulunkulu bamakhosi ase -Aramu bawasiza , ngiyakubahlabela ukuba bangisize nami. Kepha baba yisikhubekiso kuye nakuye wonke u-Israyeli.

U-Ahazi wayeselala koyise ; bammbela emzini , iJerusalema, ngokuba abamyisanga emathuneni amakhosi akwa-Israyeli; uHezekiya indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Ngokuba uPheka indodana kaRemaliya wabulala kwaJuda izinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amabili ngalusuku lunye , bonke bengamadoda anamandla, ngokuba bebeshiyile uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

Kepha kwakukhona lapho umprofethi kaJehova ogama lakhe lalingu -Odedi; waphuma ukuhlangabeza impi eyayiza eSamariya , wathi kubo : Bhekani, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo wayethukuthelele uJuda , wabanikela esandleni senu , kepha nin a nibabulele ngokufutha okufinyelele nasezulwini.

Ngokuba noma sigcwaneka, kungenxa kaNkulunkulu; noma sisangulukile, kungenxa yenu.

Ngokuba uthando lukaKristu luyasiqhubezela , sikubona lokhu ukuthi munye owafela bonke; ngakho-ke bonke sebafa;

ngokuba uNkulunkulu ekuKristu wenza ukuba izwe libuyisane naye , engababaleli iziphambeko zabo, ebeka kithi izwi lokubuyisana.

ngokuba sembethe yona, asiyikufunyanwa sihamba ze.

Ngokuba thina esisekhona kuleli dokodo sibubula , sisindwa, ngokuba asithandi ukwamb ulwa kodwa ukwelakanyiswa , ukuze okufayo kugingwe ngukuphila.

ngokuba sihamba ngokukholwa, asihambi ngokubona;

Maningaboshelwa ejokeni linye nabangakholwayo , ngokuba kunakuhlanganyela kuni ukulunga nokungalungi na ? Kunabudlelwane buni ukukhanya nobumnyama na?

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

ngokuba uthi : Ngesikhathi esihle ngikuzwile , nangosuku lwensindiso ngakuhlangulisa; bheka, manje ku yisikhathi esihle kakhulu ; bheka, manje kulusuku lwensindiso; --

Ngokuba ukudabuka okuya ngokukaNkulunkulu kuveza ukuphenduka angezisole ngakho um untu, kube ngukusindiswa , kepha ukudabuka okuya ngokwezwe kuveza ukufa.

Ngokuba bhekani , khona lokho kudabukiswa kwenu ngokukaNkulunkulu kwaveza kini ukukhuthala okungaka , yebo, nokuziphendulela, nokuthukuthela, nokwesaba, nokulangazela, nokushiseka, nokuphindisela. Kukho konke nazibonakalisa ukuthi nimhlophe kule ndaba.

Ngalokho siduduz ekile. Nasekududuzekeni kwethu sathokoza impela , ikakhulu ngokuthokoza kukaThithu , ngokuba umoya wakhe uhlunyelelwe yinina nonke;

ngokuba uma ngake ngazincoma ngento kuyena ngani , angijabhiswanga; kepha njengokuba konke esakukhuluma kini kwakuyiqiniso, kanjalo nokuzibonga kwethu kuThithu kwaba yiqiniso.

Ngiyathokoza, ngokuba ezintweni zonke nginethemba ngani.

Angikusho ngokunilahla ; ngokuba ngasho ngaphambili ukuthi nisezinhliziyweni zethu ukuba sife kanye nani, siphile kanye nani.

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

manje ngiyathokoza , kungengokuba nadabukiswa , kodwa ngokuba nadabukiswa kwaba ngukuphenduka ; ngokuba nadabukiswa ngokukaNkulunkulu, ukuze ningalahlekelwa lutho ngathi.

Kulokhu nginitshela ukubona kwami ; ngokuba lokhu kulungele nina enaqala nyakenye, kungekwenza kuphela kepha nokuthanda;

Ngokuba uma uthando lukhona , kwamukeleka njengalokho umuntu anakho, kungenjengalokho angenakho.

Ngokuba angikusho lokhu ukuba abanye bakhululeke , nina nikhathazeke, kodwa kube ngokulinganayo,

ngokuba wamukela umyalo wethu , kepha naye ekhuthele kakhulu waphuma eza kini ngokuzithandela.

ngokuba sinakekela okuhle , kungesemehlweni eNkosi kuphela kodwa nasemehlweni abantu.

ngokuba ngokwawo anikela njengamandla awo , yebo, ngiyafakaza ngithi , nangaphezu kwamandla awo;

ngokuba niyawazi umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu ukuthi , nakuba ecebile, waba mpofu ngenxa yenu, ukuze ngobumpofu bakhe nicebe nina.

Ngokuba maqondana nokukhonza abangcwele akuswelekile ukuba nginilobele,

Ngokuba ukukhonza ngale nkonzo akuqedi kuphela u kuswela kwabangcwele, kepha futhi kuvamisa kakhulu ukumbonga uNkulunkulu ngabaningi,

ngokuba ngiyalwazi uthando lwenu engizincoma ngalo ngani kwabaseMakedoniya, uma ngithi i -Akhaya lase lizilungisele kwany akenye nokuthi ukushisekela kwenu kuvusile iningi labo.

Yilowo nalowo anikele njengalokho azikhethele khona enhliziyweni , kungabi ngokudabuka nangokucindezelwa , ngokuba uNkulunkulu uyamthanda onikelayo ethokoza.

nxa efika ukuba akhazimuliswe kubo abangcwele bakhe , abe ngomangalisayo kubo bonke abakholwa ngalowo muhla, ngokuba nakholwa ngukufakaza kwethu.

Simelwe ukumbonga njalo uNkulunkulu ngani bazalwane , njengokuba kufanele, ngokuba inkolo yenu iyanda kakhulu , nothando lwenu nonke omunye komunye luyakhula,

Kepha thina simelwe ukubonga uNkulunkulu n jalo ngani bazalwane abathandwa yiNkosi , ngokuba kwasekuqaleni uNkulunkulu wanikhethela ukusindiswa ngokungcwelisa kukaMoya nangokukholwa yiqiniso

Makungabikho muntu onikhohlisayo nangayiphi indlela ; ngokuba aluyikufika, kungaveli kuqala ukuhlubuka , kwambulwe umuntu ongenamthetho, indodana yokulahlwa,

Ngokuba imfihlakalo yokungabi namthetho isiyasebenza , kuphela ukuze kudediswe yena obambezelayo manje.

Ngokuba nalapho sisekini , saniyala ngalokhu ukuthi : Uma umuntu engathandi ukusebenza, makangadli.

Ngokuba sizwa ukuthi abanye phakathi kwenu bahamba ngokungafanele , bengasebenzi lutho, kepha benza okuyize nje;

nokuba sikhululwe kuban tu abadukileyo nababi ; ngokuba ukukholwa akusikho okwabo bonke.

Ngokuba nani niyazi ngokwenu ukuthi kufanele ukuba nisilingise kanjani , ngokuba asihambanga ngokungafanele phakathi kwenu,

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

UDavide wayesethi kuso isithunywa : Uyakusho kanje kuJowabe , uthi: Le nto mayingabi mbi emehlweni akho , ngokuba inkemba idla omunye njengomunye; qinisa impi yakho ngasemzini, uwuchithe; bese wumqunga isibindi.

UDavide wathuma izithunywa , wamthatha; wangena kuye , walala naye , ngokuba wayesehlambulukile yena ekungcoleni kwakhe; wabuyela ekhaya.

Ngalokho inkemba ayiyikusuka endlini yakho , ngokuba ungidelele , wathatha umka-Uriya umHeti ukuba abe ngumkakho.

Ngokuba wena wakwenza ngasese , kepha mina ngiyakukwenza lokhu phambi kuka-Israyeli wonke naphambi kwelanga.

Nokho, ngokuba ngaleso senzo waveza ithuba elikhulu lokuba izitha zikaJehova zihlambalaze, umntwana omzalelweyo uyakufa nokufa.

Kwathi ngosuku lwes ikhombisa umntwana wafa . Izinceku zikaDavide zesaba ukumtshela ukuthi umntwana ufile , ngokuba zathi : Bhekani, umntwana esezwa sakhuluma kuye , akalalelanga izwi lethu ; pho, singamtshela kanjani ukuthi umntwana ufile? Angenza ingozi.

Wathi-ke yena : Umntwana esekhona ngazila ukudla , ngakhala, ngokuba ngathi: Ngubani owaziyo ingabe uJehova uyakuba nomusa kimi ukuba umntwana aphile na?

uyakulibuyisa ixhukazana, liphindwe kane, ngokuba enze lokho nangokuba wayengenasihawu.

Yena wathi kuye : Qha, mnewethu, ungangiphoqi, ngokuba akufanele ukuba kwenziwe kanjalo kwa-Israyeli; ungenzi lobu buwula.

Mina-ke ngingayaphi nehlazo lami na ? Nawe uyakuba njengomunye weziwula zakwa -Israyeli. Ngalokho ake ukhulume nenkosi , ngokuba ayiyikunginqabela nawe.

Akavumanga nokho ukulalela izwi lakhe , kepha ngokuba wayenamandla kunaye, wamphoqa, walala naye.

U-Amnoni wayesemzonda ngenzondo enkulu kakhulu , ngokuba inzondo amzonda ngayo yaba nkulu kunothando akade emthanda ngalo . U-Amnoni wathi kuye: Vuka uhambe.

Wayenengubo enemibala , ngokuba amadodakazi enkosi ayeyizintombi ayegqoka izingubo ezinjalo . Leyo nceku yayisimkhiphela phandle , yahluthulela emnyango emva kwakhe.

U-Amnoni wajilajileka waze wagula ngenxa kadadewabo uTamari , ngokuba wayeyintombi; kwakungenakwenzeka emehlweni ka -Amnoni ukwenza lutho kuye.

U-Abisalomu akakhulumanga okuhle noma okubi , ngokuba u-Abisalomu wamzonda u-Amnoni, lokhu emphoqile udadewabo uTamari.

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.

Ngalokho inkosi yami , inkosi, mayingabeki le nto enhliziyweni yayo yokuthi onke amadodana enkosi afile, ngokuba ngu-Amnoni yedwa ofileyo. Ukubaleka kuka-Abisalomu

Inkosi uDavide yalangazelela ukuya ku -Abisalomu, ngokuba yayisiduduzekile ngo-Amnoni ibona ukuthi sewafa.

Ngokuba simelwe ukufa , sinjengamanzi achith wa emhlabathini , angenakuqoqwa futhi; uNkulunkulu akasusi ukuphila , kepha uqamba amasu ukuba oxoshiweyo angabi ngumxoshwa kuye.

Ngokuba inkosi iyakuzwa , yophule incekukazi yayo esandleni somuntu oyakungichitha mina nendodana yami efeni likaNkulunkulu.

Yayisithi incekukazi yakho: Izwi lenkosi yami, inkosi, malibe ngelokuthula, ngokuba inkosi yami , inkosi, injengengelosi kaNkulunkulu ekuzweni okuhle nokubi; uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho makabe nawe.

Yathi-ke inkosi : Isandla sikaJowabe sinawe yini kukho konke lokhu na ? Owesifazane waphendula wathi: Kuphila kwakho, nkosi yami, nkosi, akukho muntu ongaphendukela ngakwesokunene nangakwesokhohlo kukho konke okukhulunywe yinkosi yami , inkosi, ngokuba inceku yakho uJowabe yangiyaleza, yafunza onke lawo mazwi emlonyeni wencekukazi yakho;

Nxa ephucula ikhanda lakhe ngokuba wayelo khu eliphucula njalo ngasekupheleni komnyaka , lokhu izinwele zakhe zamsinda ; ngalokho waziphucula wazilinganisa izinwele zekhanda lakhe , zalingana namashekeli angamakhulu amabili ngesisindo senkosi.

UDavide wayesethi ezincekwini zakhe zonke ezazinaye eJerusalema : Sukani, sibaleke, ngokuba, uma singenzi njalo, akuyikuphunyuka muntu kithi phambi kuka-Abisalomu; sheshani, nimuke, funa asifice masinyane, asehlisele okubi, awuchithe umuzi ngosiko lwenkemba.

Inkosi yayisithi ku -Ithayi umGiti: Nawe uhambelani nathi na ? Buya uhlale nenkosi, ngokuba ungumfokazi nomxoshwa endaweni yakho.

Ngokuba inceku yakho yenza isithembiso ngisahlezi eGeshuri lase -Aramu sokuthi: U ma uJehova engibuyisela impela eJerusalema , ngiyakumkhonza uJehova.

UDavide wayesethi ku -Abishayi nakuzo zonke izinceku zakhe: Bhekani, indodana yami eyaphuma ezibilinini zami ifuna ukuphila kwami ; kakhulu kangakanani lo mBenjamini na ? Myekeni, athuke, ngokuba uJehova ukhulumile kuye.

Yayisithi inkosi : Iphi indodana yenkosi yakho na ? USiba wathi enkosini : Bheka, ihlezi eJerusalema , ngokuba yathi : Namuhla indlu ka -Israyeli iyakubuyisela kimi umbuso kababa.

UJehova ubuyisele phezu kwakho lonke igazi lendlu kaSawule okade ubusa esikhundleni sakhe ; uJehova unikele umbuso esandleni sika -Abisalomu indodana yakho ; bheka, usubhajiwe ebubini bakho , ngokuba ungumuntu wegazi.

naye onesibindi, onhliziyo yakhe injengenhliziyo yengonyama , uyakuphela amandla, ngokuba wonke u-Israyeli uyazi ukuthi uyihlo uyiqhawe , nabanaye bangamadoda anamandla.

U-Abisalomu nabantu bonke bakwa -Israyeli bathi : Isiluleko sikaHu shayi umArki singcono kunesiluleko sika-Ahithofeli. Ngokuba uJehova wayenqumile ukuba kushafiswe isiluleko esihle sika -Ahithofeli, ukuze uJehova amehlisele u-Abisalomu okubi.

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

nezinyosi, namangqanga, nezimvu, noshizi wezinkomo kuDavide nabantu ababe naye ukuba badle , ngokuba bathi : Abantu balambile , bakhathele, bomile ehlane.

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.

UJowabe wayesebetha icilongo , abantu babuya ekumxosheni u -Israyeli, ngokuba uJowabe wabagodla abantu.

U-Abisalomu esekhona wayethathe insika , wazimisela yona esiGod ini seNkosi, ngokuba wathi : Anginandodana yokukhumbuzela igama lami . Wayiqamba insika ngegama lakhe; ithiwa isikhumbuzo sika -Abisalomu kuze kube namuhla.

UJowabe wathi kuye : Awuyikuba ngumbiki wendaba namuhla , kepha uyakubika ngolunye usuku ; namuhla awuyikubika lutho , ngokuba indodana yenkosi ifile.

Kepha abantu bathi : Awuyikuphuma, ngokuba uma sibaleka, abayikusinakekela; noma kufa inxenye yethu , abayikusikhathalela, kepha wena unjengezinkulungwane eziyishumi zethu; ngalokho kuhle ukuba usisize usemzini.

Bheka, wayesefika umKushe; umKushe wathi: Ngumbiko, nkosi yami, nkosi, ngokuba uJehova ukuphindisele namuhla kubo bonke abakuvukelayo.

Ngokuba impi yahlakazeka khona ezweni lonke , ihlathi laqeda abantu abaningi ngalolo suku kunabadliwa yinkemba. Ukufa kuka-Abisalomu nokukhala kukaDavide

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.

Wathi: Nkosi yami , nkosi, inceku yami yangikhohlisa , ngokuba inceku yakho yathi : Ngiyakuzibophelela imbongolo ukuba ngiyikhwele , ngihambe nenkosi, ngokuba inceku yakho ilunyonga.

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?

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

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?

ngokubathanda abakuzondayo nangokubazonda abakuthandayo . Ngokuba umemezele namuhla ukuthi izikhulu nezinceku azilutho kuwe, lokhu ngibona namuhla ukuthi uma ebephilile u -Abisalomu thina sonke besifile namuhla , ngabe kulungile emehlweni akho.

Ngalokho suka , ukhulume kahle ezincekwini zakho , ngokuba ngifunga uJehova ngithi, uma ungaphumi, akuyikusala muntu kuwe ngalobu busuku; lokhu kuyakuba kubi kuwe kunakho konke okubi okukwehlele kwasebusheni bakho kuze kube namuhla.

Ngase ngima ngakuye , ngambulala, ngokuba ngakwazi ukuthi angephile esewile, ngathatha umqhele owawusekhanda lakhe , nesongo elalisengalweni yakhe, ngikulethile lapha enkosini yami.

Balila, bakhala, bazila ukudla kwaze kwahlwa ngenxa kaSawule , noJonathani indodana yakhe , nabantu bakaJehova, nendlu ka -Israyeli, ngokuba bebewile ngenkemba.

UDavide wathi kuye: Igazi lakho malibe phezu kwekhanda lakho , ngokuba umlomo wakho ufakazile ngawe , lapho uthi : Ngibulele ogcotshiweyo kaJehova. Isililo sikaDavide ngoSawule noJonathani

Nina zintaba zaseGilibowa, makungabikho mazolo namvula phezu kwenu , nokugubha kotwa , ngokuba isihlangu samaqhawe santshingwa , isihlangu sikaSawule, singagcotshwanga ngamafutha.

Wathi kimi : Ake ume ngakimi , ungibulale, ngokuba ngishaywe yisiyezi, nokuphila kusekhona kimi.

Kwaba khon a indlala ezinsukwini zikaDavide iminyaka emithathu ngokulandelana; uDavide wafuna ubuso bukaJehova . UJehova wathi : Kungenxa kaSawule nangenxa yendlu yakhe yegazi , ngokuba wabulala abaseGibeyoni.

Wangophula esitheni sam i esinamandla nakubo abangizondayo, ngokuba base bengahlulile.

Wangiphumisela endaweni eb anzi: wangikhulula, ngokuba ebethokoza ngami.

Ngokuba ngizigcinile izindlel a zikaJehova; angimukanga kuNkulunkulu wami ngokushinga.

Ngokuba yonke imithetho yakh e yayiphambi kwami , nezimiso zakhe angizivumanga ukuba zisuke kimi.

Ngokuba wena uyisibani sami , Jehova; uJehova uyakhanyisa ubumnyama bami.

Ngokuba ngawe ngingahlasela impi ; ngoNkulunkulu wami ngingeqa ugange.

Ngokuba ngubani onguNkulunkul u ngaphandle kukaJehova , ngubani oyidwala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wethu na?

Ngokuba amaza okufa angihaqa; izikhukhula zokona zangethusa.

Umhlaba wawusuzamazama , wadikizela; izisekelo zezulu zathuthumela , zaqhaqhazela ngokuba ethukuthele.

Ayinjalo indlu yami kuNkulunkul u na? Ngokuba wenzile nami isivumelwano esiphakade ; sihleliwe ezintweni zonke , sigcinekile, ngokuba yonke insindiso yami nokwenama kwami akayikukuhlumisa na?

Kepha onke amashinga ayakub a njengameva alahlwayo , ngokuba angephathwe ngesandla.

UDavide wahlabeka enhliziyweni emva kokuba esebabalile abantu . UDavide wathi kuJehova : Ngonile kakhulu ngalokho engikwenzileyo ; kepha manje, Jehova, mawuthethelele ububi benceku yakho, ngokuba ngintumazele kakhulu.

Wayesethi uDavide kuGadi : Nginosizi kakhulu ; masiwele esandleni sikaJehova, ngokuba umusa wakhe mkhulu ; kepha esandleni somuntu mangingaweli kuso.

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

Manje uJehova makanenzele umusa neqiniso , nami nginibuyisele lowo musa, ngokuba niyenzile leyo nto.

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

Wayengenakumphendula u-Abineri ngezwi futhi, ngokuba wayemesaba.

kwenzeni lokho manje , ngokuba uJehov a ukhulumile ngoDavide ukuthi : Ngesandla senceku yami uDavide ngiyakusindisa abantu bami u -Israyeli esandleni samaFilisti nasesandleni sazo zonke izitha zabo.

Bheka, izinceku zikaDavide nezikaJowabe zabuya eviyweni , zaletha impango enkulu; kepha u-Abineri wayengekho kuDavide eHebroni , ngokuba wayemmukisile, wahamba ngokuthula.

OJowabe no -Abishayi umfowabo base bembulele u -Abineri, ngokuba wayebulele umfowabo u-Asaheli eGibeyoni empini.

Indodana kaSawule yayinamadoda amabili ayeyizinduna zamaviyo ; igama lenye lalinguBahana negama lenye lal inguRekabi, amadodana kaRimoni waseBeyeroti wabantwana bakwaBenjamini , ngokuba iBeyeroti libalelwa kuBenjamini.

UDavide waqhubeka njalo ngokukhula , ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti wayenaye.

UDavide wabuza kuJehova, wathi: Ngiyakwenyuka, ngihlasele amaFilisti na? Uyakuwanikela esandleni sami na ? UJehova wathi kuDavide : Yenyuka, ngokuba ngiyakuwanikela impela amaFilisti esandleni sakho.

Kuyakuthi lapho usuzwa umsindo wokuhamba ezihlokweni zamajikijolo , usheshe, ngokuba kuyilapho uJehova eyakube ephumile ngaphambi kwakho ukuchitha impi yamaFilisti.

Ekufikeni kwabo esibuyeni sikaNakoni u -Uza welulela isandla emphongolweni kaNkulunkulu, wawubamba, ngokuba izinkabi zashelela.

UDavide wadabuka ngokuba uJehova emhlasele u-Uza, wayibiza leyo ndawo ngokuthi iPheresi-Uza kuze kube namuhla.

Ngalokho umkhulu , Nkosi Jehova , ngokuba akakho onjengawe , akukho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwakho njengakho konke esikuzwileyo ngezindlebe zethu.

Ngokuba wena Jehova Sebawoti , Nkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, wambulele endlebeni yenceku yakho ukuthi : Ngiyakukwakhela indlu; ngalokho inceku yakho ithole isibindi sokukhuleka lo mkhuleko kuwe.

ngalokho-ke mawuvume ukubusisa indlu yenceku yakho ukuba ibe sebusweni bakho kuze kube phakade , ngokuba wena Nkosi , Jehova, ukukhulumile; ngesibusiso sakho mayibusiswe indlu y enceku yakho kuze kube phakade.

UNathani wathi enkosini : Hamba wenze konke okusenhliziyweni yakho , ngokuba uJehova unawe.

Ngokuba angihlalanga ndlu kusukela osukwini engakhuphula ngalo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli eGibithe kuze kube namuhla, kepha ngangilokhu ngihamba etendeni nasetabernakele.

uThoyi wathuma uJoramu indodana yakhe enkosini uDavide ukuyibingelela nokuyibusisa , ngokuba yayilwile noHadadezeri , yamnqoba, ngokuba uHadadezeri wayelokhu elwa noThoyi ; esandleni sakhe wayenezitsha zesiliva, nezitsha zegolide, nezitsha zethusi.

UMefibosheti wayesehlala eJerusalema , ngokuba wadla njalo etafuleni lenkosi; wayelunyonga ngezinyawo zakhe zombili.

UDavide wayesethi kuye : Ungesabi, ngokuba impela ngiyakukwenzela umusa ngenxa kaJonathani uyihlo , ngikubuyisele lonke izwe likayihlo uSawule, udle njalo etafuleni lami.

Ngokuba ngathokoza lapha kufika abazalwane befakazela iqiniso lakho , njengokuba uhamba eqinisweni. Ukungenisa abazalwane

ngokuba ngenxa yeGama baphuma bengathathi lutho kwabezizwe.

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhala kuJehova, bathi: Sonile kuwe, ngokuba simshiyile uNkulunkulu wethu, sakhonza oBali.

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.

Ngokuba ekukhuphukeni kwabo eGibithe , u-Israyeli ehamba ehlane waze wafika eLwandle Olubomvu, wafika naseKadeshi,

Wayesehamba ehlane, wazungeza izwe lakwa-Edomi nezwe lakwaMowabi, weza ngasempumalanga kwezwe lakwaMowabi , wamisa ngaphesheya kwe - Arinoni; kepha abangenanga emkhawulweni wakwaMowabi , ngokuba i - Arinoni lalingumkhawulo wakwaMowabi.

UmkaGileyadi wamzalela amadodana ; esekhulile amadodana omkakhe amxosha uJefta , athi kuye : Awuyikulidla ifa endlini kababa, ngokuba uyindodana yomunye owesifazane.

Kwathi lapho eyibona , waklebhula izingubo zakhe , wathi: Hawu, mntanami, ungithobisile kakhulu , ungomunye wabangihluphayo , ngokuba ngivulile umlomo kuJehova, angisenakubuya.

UJefta wayesebutha bonke abantu bakwaGileyadi , walwa no -Efrayimi; abantu b akwaGileyadi bamahlula u -Efrayimi, ngokuba bathi : Ningababalekileyo bakwa-Efrayimi nina bakwaGileyadi phakathi kwabakwa - Efrayimi naphakathi kwabakwaManase.

bathi kuye : Shono uthi : S hiboleti, abesethi: Siboleti, ngokuba engaqaphelanga ukuliphimisa kahle ; base bembamba , bambulala ngasemazibukweni aseJordani ; kwawa ngaleso sikhathi abakwa -Efrayimi abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane nambili. Ukufa kukaJefta

Ingelosi kaJehova yathi kuManowa: Noma ungilibazisa, angiyikudla ukudla kwakho; uma ulungisa umnikelo wokushiswa, uyakunikela ngawo kuJehova. Ngokuba uManowa wayengazi ukuthi uyingelosi kaJehova.

UManowa wathi kumkakhe : Siyakufa nokufa, ngokuba simbonile uNkulunkulu.

ngokuba bheka , uyakukhulelwa, uzale indodana , impuco ayiyikuthinta ekhanda layo , ngokuba umntwana uyakuba ngumNaziri kaNkulunkulu kwasesizalweni; uyakuqala ukusindisa u-Israyeli esandleni samaFilisti.

Kepha wathi kimi : Bheka, uyakukhulelwa, uzale indodana ; ngakho ungaphuzi wayini naluphuzo olunamandla , ungadli lutho olungcolileyo , ngokuba umntwana uyakuba ngumNaziri kaNkulunkulu kwasesizalweni kuze kube sosukwini lokufa kwakhe.

Uyise wehla , waya kulowo wesifazane , uSamsoni wenza idili khona , ngokuba zazenze njalo izinsizwa.

Wakhala phambi kwakhe izinsuku eziyisikhombisa , lisekhona idili labo ; kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa wayesemtshela, ngokuba wamcindezela kakhulu; wayisho imfumbe kwabakubo.

Uyise nonina base bethi kuye : Akakho yini owesifazane phakathi kwamadodakazi abafowenu noma phakathi kwabo bonke abantu bami, ukuze uye kuthatha umfazi kumaFilisti angasokile , na? USamsoni wathi kuyise : Ngithathele yena, ngokuba uyathandeka kimi.

Kepha uyise nonina babengazi ukuthi lokho kwavela kuJehova , ngokuba wayefuna ithuba lokulwa namaFilisti . Ngaleso sikhathi amaFilisti ayebusa phezu kuka-Israyeli.

AmaFilisti ayesethi : Ngubani okwenzile lokho na ? Bathi: NguSamsoni, umkhwenyana wowaseThimna , ngokuba yena uthathe umkakhe , wamnika umngane wakhe. AmaFilisti akhuphuka, amshisa yena noyise ngomlilo.

Wamtshela inhliziyo yakhe yonke , wathi kuye : Akuthintanga mpuco ekhanda lami , ngokuba bengingumNaziri kaNkulunkulu kwasesizalweni sikamame; uma ngiphuculwa , amandla ami ayakumuka kimi , ngiyakuba buthakathaka, ngibe njengomunye umuntu.

UDelila wabona ukuthi wayemtshelile yonke inhliziyo yakhe ; wathuma wawabiza amakhosi amaFilisti , wathi: Yenyukani kalokhu , ngokuba ungitshelile yonke inhliziyo yakhe . Ayesenyukela kuye amakhosi amaFilisti , aletha imali esandleni sawo.

Amakhosi amaFilisti abuthana ukuba ahlabele uDagoni unkulunkulu wawo umhlatshelo omkhulu, athokoze, ngokuba athi: Unkulunkulu wethu unikele uSamsoni isitha sethu esandleni sethu.

Abantu bambona, bamtusa unkulunkulu wabo, ngokuba bathi: Unkulunkulu wethu unikele esandleni sethu isitha sethu nomchithi wezwe lakithi obulele abaningi phakathi kwethu.

Ngalezo zinsuku kwakungekho nkosi kwa -Israyeli; ngalezo zinsuku isizwe sakwaDani sazifunela ifa lokuhlala , ngokuba kuze kube ngalolo suku babengabelwanga ifa phakathi kwezizwe zakwa-Israyeli.

Nxa nihamba , niyakufika kubantu abalondekileyo , izwe libanzi , ngokuba uNkulunkulu ulinikele esandleni senu , indawo lapho ku ngekho khona ukuswela lutho olusemhlabeni.

Kwakungekho owophulayo, ngokuba wawukude neSidoni; babengenandaba nabanye abantu ; wawusesigodini esingaseBeti Rehobe. Bawakha umuzi , bahlala kuwo.

Base bemuka labo bantu abayisihlanu , bafika eLayishi , babona abantu abakulo ukuthi basahlala belondekile ngendl ela yamaSidoni , benokuthula, bengenaluvalo, ngokuba kwakungekho ezweni onamandla ukuba abajabhise ngalutho; babekude namaSidoni, bengenandaba nabanye abantu.

Bathi: Sukani, senyukele kubo , ngokuba silibonile izwe ; bhekani, lihle kakhulu; niyathula yini? Ningenqeni ukuhamba, ningene ukuba nilidle izwe.

Baphambukela lapho ukuba bangene , balale eGibeya ; wangena, wahlala phansi esigcawini somuzi ; ngokuba kwakungekho muntu owabamukela endlini yakhe ukuba balale khona.

kepha ama-Asheri ahlala phakathi kwamaKhanani ayakhe kulelo zwe , ngokuba abawaxoshanga.

Ama-Amori adudulela abantwana bakwaDani ezintabeni , ngokuba awabavumelanga ukwehlela esigodini.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babuza kuJehova ngokuba umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wawulapho ngalezo zinsuku;

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.

Abantu bakwa -Israyeli babuyela emuva empini ; uBenjamini wayeseqalile ukubulala nokuceka kubantu bakwa -Israyeli kungathi abantu abangamashumi amathathu, ngokuba bathi: Impela babulewe phambi kwethu njengasekulweni kwakuqala.

Base bephenduka abantu bakwa -Israyeli, nabantu bakwaBenjamini bashaywa luvalo, ngokuba babona ukuthi behlelwe ngububi.

Ngase ngithatha isancinza sami, ngasihlahlela, ngasithuma ezweni lonke lefa lakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba babesebenzile ukona nobuwula kwa-Israyeli.

Abantu bamhawukela uBenjamini, ngokuba uJehova wayenze ukwahlukana ezizweni zakwa-Israyeli.

Kepha asinakubanika nokho amadodakazi ethu abe ngomkabo , ngokuba abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babefungile bethi : M akaqalekiswe onika owakwaBenjamini umfazi.

Kuyakuthi lapho oyise noma abanewabo befika ukuphikisana nathi , sithi kubo: Sinikeni wona ngomusa, ngokuba asithathanga, kwaba yilowo nalowo umkakhe empini, futhi anibanikanga wona; khona ngabe nitholile icala.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bathi : Yisiphi phakathi kwazo zonke izizwe zakwa-Israyeli esin gakhuphukelanga ebandleni kuJehova na ? Ngokuba bebefungile isifungo esikhulu ngaye ongakhuphukeli kuJehova eMispa ukuthi wobulawa nokubulawa.

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

Lapho uJehova ebavusela abahluleli , uJehova wayenaye umahluleli , wabasindisa esandleni sezitha zabo izinsuku zonke zomahluleli , ngokuba uJehova waba nesihe ngokubulawa kwabo ngenxa yababacindezelayo nababakhathazayo.

Intukuthelo kaJehova yavuthela u-Israyeli, wathi: Ngokuba lesi sizwe seqile isivumelwano sami engabayala ngaso oyise, singalalelanga izwi lami,

kwangena nesibambo emva kwenkemba , amanoni azungeza inkemba , ngokuba akayikhiphanga inkemba esiswini sakhe; yaphumela emuva.

Wathi kubo : Ngilandeleni, ngokuba uJehova u nikele izitha zenu abakwaMowabi esandleni senu ! Behla emva kwakhe , bavimba amazibuko aseJordani ababewela ngawo abakwaMowabi , abavumanga ukuba kuwele muntu.

UDebora wathi kuBaraki: Vuka, ngokuba yilolu suku uJehova anikele ngalo uSisera esandleni sakho; uJehova akaphumanga phambi kwakho na? UBaraki wehla entabeni yaseThabori nabantu abayizinkulun gwane eziyishumi e mva kwakhe.

Kepha uSisera wabaleka ngezinyawo , wafika etendeni likaJayeli umkaHebere umKheni, ngokuba kwakukhona ukuthula phakathi kukaJabini inkosi yaseHasori nendlu kaHebere umKheni.

Wayesethi kuye : Ake ungiphuzise ingcosana yamanzi , ngokuba ngomile . Wavumbulula igabha lobisi, wamphuzisa, wamembesa.

UJayeli umkaHebere wayesethatha isikhonkwane setende, waphatha isando ngesandla, wanyonyobela kuye , wambethela esikhaleni sendlebe ngesikhonkwane, sagqobhoza, saphumela emhlabathini , ngokuba wayelele ubuthongo obukhulu ediniwe; wafa kanjalo.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bakhala kuJehova , ngokuba wayenezinqola ezingamakhulu ayisishiyagalolunye zensimbi ; wacindezela kakhulu abantwana bakwa-Israyeli iminyaka engamashumi amabili.

Wathi kuye: Impela ngiyakuhamba nawe, kodwa indlela oyakuhamba ngayo ayiyikuba ngeyodumo lwakho , ngokuba uJehova uyakumthengisa uSisera esandleni sowesifazane . Wayesesuka uDebora , wahamba noBaraki , baya eKedeshi.

Ngokuba abaholi beholil e kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba abantu bezinikela ngenhliziyo, bongani uJehova.

Qalekisani iMerozi , kwasho ingelos i kaJehova; qalekisani nokuqalekisa abantu balo, ngokuba abezanga ukumsiza uJehov a ukuba bamsize uJehova ukulwa neziqhwaga.

Wayesebona uGideyoni ukuthi iyingelosi kaJehova ; uGideyoni wathi : Maye, Nkosi Nkulunkulu ! Ngokuba ngibonile ingelosi kaJehova ubuso nobuso.

Base bethi abantu bomuzi kuJowashi : Khipha indodana yakho ukuba ife , ngokuba ilibhidlizile i -altare likaBali nangokuba imgawul ile u -Ashera owayengakulo.

Ngalokho ngalolo suku wambiza ngokuthi uJerubali , ethi: UBali makalwe naye ngokuba elibhidlizile i-altare lakhe. Ukuqala kokukhululwa kwabakwa-Israyeli nguGideyoni

Kwaba njalo, ngokuba wavuka ekuseni ngangomuso, wabucindezela uboya, wakhama amazolo eboyeni, kwagcwala isitsha amanzi.

Wenze njalo uNkulunkulu ngalobo busuku , ngokuba kwakomile eboyeni bodwa, kepha emhlabathini wonke kwakukhona amazolo.

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

Kwathi uGideyoni ekuzwa ukulandwa kwephupho nokuchazwa kwalo , wakhuleka; wabuyela ekamu lakwa-Israyeli, wathi: Vukani, ngokuba uJehova unikele esandleni senu impi yakwaMidiyani.

Kwathi ngalobo busuku uJehova wathi kuye: Vuka wehlele ekamu, ngokuba sengilinikele esandleni sakho.

OZeba noSalimuna babeseKarkori , izimpi zabo zinabo kungathi abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nanhlanu, bonke ababesele empini yonke yabasempumalanga, ngokuba kwakuwile abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amabili abahloma inkemba.

Wayesethi kuJetheri izibulo lakhe: Suka ubabulale . Kepha umfana kahoshanga inkemba yakhe, ngokuba wesaba lokhu engumfana.

Base bethi oZeba noSalimuna : Suka wena , usihlasele, ngokuba njengendoda anjalo amandla ayo . Wayesesuka uGideyoni, wababulala oZeba noSalimuna, wathatha izimbe du ezinjengenyanga ezazisezintanyeni zamakamela abo. UGideyoni uyala ukubekwa inkosi

Abantu bakwa-Israyeli bathi kuGideyoni : Sibuse, wena nendodana yakho , nendodana yendodana yakho futhi , ngokuba usisindisile esandleni sakwaMidiyani.

UGideyoni wayenamadodana angamashumi ayisikhombisa aphuma okhalweni lwakhe, ngokuba wayenabafazi abaningi.

Wayesethi kubantu baseSukoti : Ake niphe abantu abangilandelayo izinkwa, ngokuba bayethile, ngisaxosha oZeba noSalimuna amakhosi akwaMidiyani.

ethi: Siyakubonga, Nkosi Nkulunkulu , Mninimandla onke , okhona nowawukhona, ngokuba uthabathe amandla akho amakhulu, wabusa;

Kepha igceke elingaphandle kwethempeli ulishiye ngaphandle , ungalilinganisi, ngokuba linikwe izizwe, nomuzi ongcwele ziyakuwunyathela phansi izinyanga ezingamashumi amane nambili.

Ngase ngizwa izwi elikhulu ezulwini , lithi: Kalokhu insindiso namandla nobukhosi ngokukaNkulunkulu wethu , nombuso ngokaKristu wakhe , ngokuba uphonswe phansi ummangaleli wabazalwane bethu obamangalelayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu wethu imini nobusuku.

Ngalokho thokozani nina mazulu nabahlala kuwo ; maye kuwe mhlaba nakuwe lulwandle , ngokuba uSathane wehlele kini enolak a olukhulu , azi ukuthi unesikhathi esifushane!

Nakhu ukuhlakanipha. Onengqondo makabale isibalo sesilo , ngokuba siyisibalo somuntu . Nesibalo sakhe singamakhulu ayisithupha namashumi ayisithupha nesithupha.

bakhuleka kudrako, ngokuba wanika isilo amandla akhe , bakhuleka nakuso isilo, bethi: Ngubani ofana nesilo, ngubani ongalwa naso na?

Ngase ngizwa izwi livela ezulwini, lithi: Loba ukuthi: Babusisiwe abafileyo abafele eNkosini kusukela kulesi sikhathi . Yebo, usho uMoya , ukuze baphumule ekukhandlekeni kwabo; ngokuba imisebenzi yabo iyabalandela. Izingelosi ezimbili zokuvuna

Enye ingelosi yayisiphuma ethempelini , imemeza ngezwi elikhulu , ithi kohlezi phezu kwefu : Faka isikela lakho , uvune, ngokuba kufikile isikhathi sokuvuna, ngokuba sekomile okuvunwayo komhlaba.

Nenye ingelosi futhi yaphuma e-altare, inamandla phezu komlilo , yamemeza n gezwi elikhulu kuyo ebinesikela elibukhali , ithi: Faka isikela lakho elibukhali , ubuthe amahlukuzo omvini womhlaba , ngokuba izithelo zomvini zivuthiwe.

Labo yibo abangangcoliswanga yisifazane, ngokuba bayizintombi. Labo yibo abalandela iWundlu noma liyaphi . Labo bathengwa ebantwini , babe lulibo kuNkulunkulu nakulo iWundlu,

isho ngezwi elikhulu , ithi: Mesabeni uNkulunkulu , nimnike inkazimulo , ngokuba ihora lokwahlulela kwakhe selifikile ; nikhuleke kuye owenza izulu nomhlaba nolwandle nemithombo yamanzi.

Ngase ngibona esinye isibonakaliso ezulwini esikhulu nesimangalisayo : izingelosi eziyisikhombisa zinezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina, ngokuba kwapheleliswa ngazo ulaka lukaNkulunkulu.

ngubani ongayikwesaba, Nkosi, adumise igama lakho , na? Ngokuba wena wedwa ungcwele , nezizwe zonke ziyakuz a zikhuleke phambi kwakho , ngokuba izenzo zakho zokulunga zibonakalisiwe.

ngokuba bangomoya bamademoni , benza izibonakaliso , abaphuma beya emakhosini ezwe lonke ukubahlanganisela ekulweni kosuku olukhulu lukaNkulunkulu uMninimandla onke.

Isichotho esikhulu esisinda njengetalenta sivela ezulwini sehlela phezu kwabantu; abantu bamhlambalaza uNkulunkulu ngenxa yohlupho lwesichotho, ngokuba uhlupho lwaso lulukhulu kakhulu.

Ngezwa ingelosi yamanzi ithi : Ulungile wena okhona nowawukhona , oNgcwele, ngokuba wakunquma lokho,

ngokuba bachitha igazi labangcwele nelabaprofethi, wabanika ukuba baliphuze igazi; bakufanele.

Ayakulwa neWundlu , neWundlu liyakuwanqoba , ngokuba liyiNkosi yamakhosi noMbusi wababusi , nabakanye nalo , ababiziweyo, nabakhethiweyo, nabathembekileyo.

ngokuba uNkulunkulu ukufakile ezinhliziyweni zazo ukuba zenze umqondo wakhe, ziwenze umqondo munye, zinike isilo umbuso wazo, aze agcwaliseke amazwi kaNkulunkulu.

emi kude ngokwesaba ukuhlupheka kwalo ethi : M aye, maye kuwe muzi omkhulu waseBabiloni, muzi onamandla, ngokuba ngehora linye nje, kufikile ukwahlulelwa kwakho!

Nabathengisi bomhlaba bayalikhalela , balililele, ngokuba impahla yabo ayisathengwa muntu,

Ngokuba ngehora linye nje ingcebo engaka ichithekile . Nabashayeli bonke bemikhumbi, nabo bonke abaya nomaphi ngomkhumb i, namatilosi, nabo bonke abasebenza elwandle bemela kude,

Base bethela uthuli emakhanda abo , badazuluka bekhala , belila bethi : Maye, maye kuwe muzi omkhulu, abacebile kuwe bonke abanemikhumbi elwandle ngenxa yengcebo enqabileyo yakho , ngokuba ngehora linye nje uchithekile!

Thokoza ngawo wena zulu , nani bangcwele , nani baphostoli , nani baprofethi; ngokuba uNkulunkulu uwahlulele, waniphindiselela kuwo.

nokukhanya kwesibani akusoze kwaphinda kukhanye phakathi kwakho , nezwi lomyeni nelomlobokazi alisoze labuye lizwakale phakathi kwakho , ngokuba izizwe zonke zidukisiwe ngokuthakatha kwakho,

ngokuba izizwe zonke ziphuzile iwayini lobufebe balo , namakhosi omhlaba afebile nalo, nabathengisi bomhlaba bacebile ngamandla okutamasa kwalo.

ngokuba izono zalo zifinyelele ezulwini , noNkulunkulu wakhumbula ukungalungi kwalo.

ngokungangalokho elizidumise latamasa ngakho , linikeni ukuhlupheka nokulila okungako. Ngokuba enhliziyweni yalo lithi: Ngihlezi ngiyinkosikazi, angisiye umfelokazi, futhi angisoze ngabona ukulila.

Ngakho k uyakufika ngalusuku lunye izinhlupheko zalo , ukufa, nokulila, nendlala, futhi liyakushiswa liqedwe ngomlilo ; ngokuba iNkosi uNkulunkulu elahlulelayo inamandla.

Ngase ngiwa phansi phambi kwezinyawo ukukhuleka kuyo. Yayisithi kimi: Musa; ngiyinceku kanye nawe nabazalwane bakho abaphethe ubufakazi bukaJesu; khuleka kuNkulunkulu. Ngokuba ubufakazi bukaJesu bungumoya wokuprofetha. UKristu uyalwa nesilo

ngokuba ziqinisile , zilungile izahlulelo zakhe ; ngokuba isifebe esikhulu esonakalisa umhlaba ngobufebe baso , uliphindisele igazi lezinceku zakhe esandleni saso.

Ngase ngizwa kungathi izwi lesixuku esikhulu , linjengezwi lamanzi amaningi, nezwi lokuduma okunamandla , lithi: Haleluya! Ngokuba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, uMninimandla onke, iyabusa.

Masithokoze, sethabe, futhi masimnike inkazimulo , ngokuba umshado weWundlu ufikile, nomkalo uzilungisele;

wanikwa ukuba embathe ilineni elicolekileyo nelikhazimulayo nelihlanzekileyo, ngokuba ilineni elicolekileyo liyizenzo ezilungileyo zabangcwele.

Ubusisiwe ofundayo nabo abawezwayo amazwi alesi siprofetho , bagcine okulotshiweyo kuso, ngokuba isikhathi siseduze. UJohane uyabingelela amabandla ayisikhombisa

Ngase ngibona izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha ; ngokuba izulu lokuqala nomhlaba wokuqala kudlulile, nolwandle alusekho.

Angibonanga ithempeli kuwo, ngokuba iNkosi uNkulunkulu, uMninimandla onke, iyithempeli lawo kanye neWundlu.

Umuzi awudingi ilanga nenyanga ukuba kukhanye kuwo , ngokuba inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu iyawukhanyisa, nesibani sawo siyiWundlu.

namasango awo awasoze avalwa emini , ngokuba ubusuku abuyikuba khona lapho;

azesule izinyembezi zonke emehlweni abo ; ukufa akusayikuba khona ; nokudabuka, nokukhala, nobuhlungu akusayikuba khona ; ngokuba okokuqala kudlulile.

Wayesethi ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi : Bheka, ngenza konke kube kusha . Wathi: Loba, ngokuba lawa mazwi athembekile, aqinisile.

Yathi kimi: Ungavali ngophawu amazwi esiprofetho sale ncwadi , ngokuba isikhathi siseduze.

Ubusuku abusayikuba khona ; abadingi ukukhanya kwesibani nokukhanya kwelanga, ngokuba iNkosi uNkulunkulu iyakubakhanyisela ; bayakubusa phakade naphakade. Iqiniso lombono

Nokho kukhona okuyingcosana enginakho ngaw e, ngokuba unabo lapho ababambisisa isifundiso sikaBalami owafundisa uBalaki ukuphonsa isikhubekiso phambi kwabantwana bakwa -Israyeli sokuba badle okuhlatshelwe izithombe nokuba bafebe.

Ngokuba ulilondile izwi lokubekezela kwami , nami-ke ngiyakukulonda ngehora lokulingwa eliyakufika ezweni lonke lokulinga bonke abakhileyo emhlabeni.

Ngokuba uthi: Ngicebile, kangiswele lutho, kanti kawazi ukuthi ungolusizi, nowokuhawukelwa, nompofu, nophuphuthekayo, nohamba ze;

Vuka ulinde , uqinise okuseleyo obekuzakufa , ngokuba angifumananga imisebenzi yakho iphelelisiwe phambi kukaNkulunkulu wami;

Ngakhala kakhulu ngokuba kungafunyanwanga namunye ofanele ukuyivula leyo ncwadi, abuke kuyo.

Ahlabelela igama elisha , athi: Ufanele wena ukuyithabatha incwad i nokuvula izimpawu zayo , ngokuba wahlatshwa, wabathengela uNkulunkulu ngegazi lakho abavela kuyo yonke imindeni, nezilimi, nabantu, nezizwe,

ngokuba usuku olukhulu lolaka lwabo selufikile; ngubani-ke onamandla okuma na?

ngokuba iWundlu elingaphakathi nesihlalo sobukhosi liyakubelusa , libaholele emithonjeni yamanzi okuphila ; noNkulunkulu uyakwesula izinyembezi zonke emehlweni abo.

Igama lenkanyezi lithiwa uMhlonyane . Okwesithathu kwamanzi kwaba ngumhlonyane, nabaningi kubantu bafa ngamanzi, ngokuba enziwa ababa.

Ngokuba amandla amahhashi asemilonyeni yawo nasemisileni yawo ; ngokuba imisila yawo ifana nezinyoka, inamakhanda ona ngawo.

Ngenxa yalokho uNkulunkulu wabanikela ekuhuhekeni okuyihla zo; ngokuba abesifazane babo baguqula ukwenza okwemvelo kwaba ngokuphambene nemvelo;

Kuqala-ke ngibonga uNkulunkulu wami ngoJesu Kristu ngani nonke , ngokuba ukukholwa kwenu kunconywa ezweni lonke.

Ngokuba uNkulunkulu, engimkhonza emoyeni wami ngevangeli leNdodana yakhe, ungufakazi wami wokuthi ngokungaphezi ngiyanikhumbula

Ngakho awunakuzilandulela wena muntu , noma ungubani owahlulelayo , ngokuba ngalo kho owahlulela ngakho omunye uyazilahla wena , ngokuba wena owahlulelayo uyakwenza khona lokho nawe.

Ngokuba uma u-Abrahama walungisiswa ngemisebenzi, unakho ukuzibonga; kodwa phambi kukaNkulunkulu qha.

Ngokuba umbhalo uthini na ? Uthi: Kepha u -Abrahama wakholwa nguNkulunkulu, kwambalelwa ukuthi kungukulunga.

Ngakho-ke lokhu kubusiswa kuqondene nabasokile noma nabangasokile na ? Ngokuba sithi: Ukukholwa kwabalelwa u-Abrahama ukuthi kungukulunga.

Ngokuba uma sathola ukubuyisana noNkulunkulu ngokufa kweNdodana yakhe sise yizitha , ikakhulu siyakusindiswa ngokuphila kwayo sesitholile ukubuyisana;

Kepha isipho somusa asinjengesi phambeko; ngokuba uma ngesiphambeko samuntu munye abaningi bafa , ikakhulu kwavama kwabaningi umusa nesipho sikaNkulunkulu ngomusa wamuntu munye, uJesu Kristu.

Isipho asinjengokona kwalowo emunye , ngokuba uma ukwahlulela kwaba ngoyedwa kube ngukulahlwa , isipho somusa sona -ke saba ngeziphambeko eziningi kube ngukulungisiswa.

ngokuba isono, sithola ithuba ngomyalo, sangikhohlisa, sangibulala ngawo.

Ngokuba siyazi ukuthi umthetho ungowomoya ; kepha mina ngingowenyama, othengisiwe phansi kwesono.

Ngokuba engikwenzayo angikuqondi ; ngokuba engikwenzayo akusikho lokho engikuthandayo; kodwa lokho engikuzondayo, yikho engikwenzayo.

Ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi kimi, kungukuthi enyameni yami, akuhlali okuhle; ngokuba intando ikhona kimi, kodwa ukwenza okuhle akukho,

ngokuba okuhle engikuthandayo angikwenzi , kodwa okubi engingakuthandiyo lokho ngiyakwenza.

Ngokuba owesifazane oganileyo uboshelwe ngomthetho endodeni isekhona; kepha nxa indoda isifile, ukhululiwe emthethweni wendoda.

ngokuba ngiwenamela umthetho kaNkulunkulu ngokomuntu ongaphakathi,

Ngokuba kwathi sisenyameni , ukuhuheka kwezono okwavela ngomthetho kwasebenza ezithweni zethu ukuthelela ukufa izithelo;

Ngakho siyakuthini na ? Umthetho uyisono na ? Qha nakanye ; kepha bengingasazanga isono , uma bekungengomthetho ; ngokuba ukufisa bengingakwazanga, uma umthetho ubungashongo ukuthi: Ungafisi;

kepha isono sathola ithuba ngomyalo , sasebenza kimi ukufisa konke ; ngokuba ngaphandle komthetho isono sifile.

Ngokuba uma nihamba ngokwenyama, nizakufa; kepha uma nibulala imisebenzi yomzimba ngoMoya, nizakuphila.

Ngokuba bonke abaholwa nguMoya kaNkulunku lu, labo bangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu.

Ngokuba anamukeliswanga umoya wobugqila ukuba nibuye nesabe, kepha namukeliswa umoya wobuntwana esimemeza ngaye sithi: Aba, Baba!

Ngokuba ngithi izinhlupheko zesikhathi samanje azinakulinganiswa nenkazimulo eyakwambulwa kithina.

Ngokuba ukulangazela kokudaliweyo kulindele ukwambulwa kwabantwana bakaNkulunkulu.

Ngokuba umthetho kaMoya wokuphila okuKristu Jesu ungikhululile emthethweni wesono nowokufa.
