Hamba umtshele uJerobowamu ukuthi : U Jehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli usho kanje , uthi: Njengokuba ngakuphakamisa phakathi kwabantu , ngakubeka ube ngumbusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli,

Njengokuba ngakuphakamisa othulini, ngakubeka umbusi wabantu bami u- Israyeli, kepha uhambe endleleni kaJerobowamu , wonisa abantu bami u - Israyeli ukuba bangicunule ngezono zabo,

Nangesikhathi esidlulileyo uSawule eseyinkosi , nguwe o wakhipha nowangenisa u -Israyeli; uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wathi kuwe : Wena uyakwalusa abantu bami u -Israyeli, wena uyakuba ngumbusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli.

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

Ngalokho uyakusho kanje encekwini yami uDavide , uthi: U sho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Mina ngakuthatha edlelweni ekwaluseni izimvu ukuba ube ngumbusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli;

UJowabe wanika uDavide umumo wabantu ababaliweyo ; wonke u -Israyeli wayeyizinkulungwane eziyinkulungwane nezinkulungw ane eziyikhulu abahloma inkemba ; uJuda wayeyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane namashumi ayisikhombisa.

UDavide nezinduna zempi base bahlukanisela inkonzo amanye amadodana ka-Asafa, nakaHemani, nakaJeduthuni, ayeyakuprofetha ngamahabhu , nangezingubhu, nangamasimbali; umumo wabantu balo msebenzi wenkonzo wawunje:

ngokuba sikhandlekela lokho , siyashikashikeka, ngokuba sithembele kuNkulunkulu ophilayo onguMsindisi wabantu bonke , ikakhulu wabakholwayo.

Kepha manje umbuso wakho awuyikuqhubeka ; uJehova usezifunele umuntu ngokwenhliziyo yakhe ; uJehova ummisile abe ngumholi wabantu bakhe, ngokuba ungagcinanga lokho uJehova akuyala ngakho.

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

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.

Buya, uthi kuHezekiya umholi wabantu bami : U sho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu kaDavide uyihlo , uthi: Ngizwile umkhuleko wakho , ngibonile izinyembezi zakho ; bheka, ngiyakukuphilisa; ngosuku lwesithathu uyakwenyukela endlini kaJehova.

Kusukela osukw ini engakhipha ngalo abantu bami u -Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe angikhethanga muzi ezizweni zonke zakwa -Israyeli ukwakha indlu ukuba igama lami libe khona lapho , futhi angikhethanga muntu ukuba abe ngumbusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli,

kodwa sizilahlile izinto ezifihliwe zehlazo , asihambi ngobuqili , asiliphambanisi izwi likaNkulunkulu, kepha ngokuveza obala iqiniso sizincoma kunembeza wabantu bonke phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

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

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

Wayesethi uDavide kuMikhali : Ngaphambi kukaJehova owangikhetha phezu kukayihlo naphezu kwayo yonke indlu yakhe ukungimisa ukuba ngibe ngumbusi wabantu bakaJehova kwa -Israyeli, yebo, ngaphambi kukaJehova ngathokoza.

Ngalokho uyakusho kanje encekwini yami uDavide , uthi: U sho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Mina ngakuthatha edlelweni ekwaluseni izimvu ukuba ube ngumbusi wabantu bami kwa-Israyeli;

Inkosi yathuma yamthukulula, umbusi wabantu wamkhulula.

Wabapha amazwe abezizwe, badla isithelo somsebenzi wabantu

othulisa ukuduma kwezilwandle , inhlokomo yamaza azo nomsindo wabantu.

Jehova Nkulunkulu Sebawoti, koze kube nini uthunqela ngolaka umkhul eko wabantu bakho na?

kepha wazidela ethabatha isimo senceku, enziwe ngomfanekiso wabantu;

Nina ningabakayihlo uSathane , nithanda ukwenza izinkanuko zikayihlo . Yena wayengumbulali wabantu kwasekuqaleni , akemi eqinisweni , ngokuba iqiniso lingekho kuye . Nxa ekhuluma amanga , ukhuluma okungokwakhe , lokhu engumqambimanga noyise wawo.

Wayithumela ekhaya layo, wathi: Ungangeni emzini wabantu. Isivumo sikaPetru (Math. 16:13; Luk. 9:18)

Kalokhu lalela izwi lami , ngikululeke, uNkulunkulu abe nawe; ngithi: Yiba ngumkhulumeli wabantu phambi kukaNkulunkulu , ulethe izindaba kuNkulunkulu,

Uma utsheleka ompofu wabantu bami okuwe imali , awuyikumphatha njengabatshelekisi; ningabizi nzalo kuye.

UJoshuwa wezwa umsindo wabantu bekhamuluka, wathi kuMose: Kukhona umsindo wempi ekamu.

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

Emhlabathini wabantu bami kuyakumila amakhakhasi nameva, yebo, kuzo zonke izindlu zokujabula emzini ojabulayo,

ngalona lolo suku uyakudazuluka athi : Angiyikuba ngumelaphi , ngokuba endlini yami akukho sinkwa, akukho ngubo; ningangibeki umbusi wabantu.

U-Abimeleki wayesethi : Kuyini okwenzile kithina na ? Bekulula ukuba kufike omunye wabantu, alale nomkakho; ubususibangele icala.

Isandla sami siyakumelana nabaprofethi ababona okuyize nababhula amanga; abayikuba semkhandlwini wabantu bami , bangalotshwa encwadini yendlu yakwa -Israyeli, bangangeni ezweni lakwa -Israyeli, nazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uJehova.

uthi kulo iTire: Wena ohlala ekungeneni kolwandle , ongumthengi wabantu eziqhingini eziningi , iNkosi uJehova isho kanje , ithi: Tire, wena ushilo ukuthi: Ngiphelele ebuhleni.

Noma ngonile , ngenzeni kuwe mlindi wabantu na ? Ungimiseleni ngibe yisigcibisholo sakho, ngize ngibe ngumthwalo nakimi, na?

Uyakugeza umzimba wakhe ngamanzi enda weni engcwele , agqoke izambatho zakhe , aphume, anikele ngomnikelo wakhe wokushiswa nangomnikelo wokushiswa wabantu, azenzele yena nabantu ukubuyisana.

Wayeseletha umnikelo wabantu , wathatha impongo yomnikelo wesono ongowabantu, wayihlaba, wanikela ngayo ngenxa yesono njengowokuqala.

UMose wathi ku-Aroni: Sondela e-altare, unikele ngomnikelo wakho wesono nangomnikelo wakho wokushiswa , uzenzele wena nabantu ukubuyisana, andukuba unikele ngomnikelo wabantu , ubenzele ukubuyisana, njengalokho uJehova eyalile.

Ngiyakwehla, ngikhulume nawe khona , ngithathe okomoya ophezu kwakho, ngikubeke kuwo ; ayakuthwala umthwalo wabantu kanye nawe , ukuze ungawuthwali wedwa.

Manje, ndodakazi yami , ungesabi; ngiyakukwenzela konke okushoyo , ngokuba wonke umuzi wabantu bakithi uyazi ukuthi ungowesifazane olungileyo.

UJehova uNkulunkulu wabo uyakubasindisa ngalolo suk u njengomhlambi wabantu bakhe , ngokuba bangamatshe omqhele abengezela phezu kwezwe lakhe.
