Wayesethi uJehova kuye : Hamba, ubuye ngendlela yakho , uye ehlane laseDamaseku; usufikile khona uyakumgcoba uHazayeli abe yinkosi yase - Aramu;

UBeni Hadadi inkosi yase -Aramu wabutha yonke impi yakhe ; wayenamakhosi angamashumi amathathu nambili , namahhashi, nezinqola; wenyuka, wavimbezela iSamariya, walwa nalo,

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

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

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

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

Khona uHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu wenyuka walwa neGati , walithatha; uHazayeli wabhekisa ubuso bakhe ukwenyukela eJerusalema.

UJehowashi, inkosi yakwaJuda , wathatha zonke izinto ezingcwele , ezingcwelisiwe ngoJehoshafati noJehoramu no-Ahaziya oyise , amakhosi akwaJuda, nezinto zakhe ezingcwelisiwe , nalo lonke igolide elafunyanwa engcebeni endlini kaJehova nasendlini yenkosi , wakuthuma kuHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu; wayesesuka eJerusalema.

UHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu wafa ; uBeni Hadadi indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Intukuthelo kaJehova yavuthela u -Israyeli, wabanikela esandleni sikaHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu nasesandleni sikaBeni Hadadi indodana kaHazayeli sonke lesi sikhathi.

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.

Ngalezo zinsuku uJehova waqala ukuthuma kuJuda uResini , inkosi yase- Aramu noPheka indodana kaRemaliya.

Inkosi u-Ahazi yaya eDamaseku ukumhlangabeza uThigilati Phileseri inkosi yase-Asiriya, yabona i-altare elaliseDamaseku; inkosi u-Ahazi yathumela ku - Uriya, umpristi, isimo se -altare nesifanekiso salo njengokwenziwa kwa lo konke.

Indlela esibekelwey o yesabatha ababeyakhe endlini nendawo yokungena yenkosi engaphandle yakuphambukisela endlini kaJehova ngenxa yenkosi yase-Asiriya.

Ngaleso sikhathi uResini inkosi yase -Aramu wabuyisela i -Elati e -Aramu, waxosha abaJuda e -Elati; ama-Aramu afika e-Elati, ahlala khona kuze kube namuhla.

U-Ahazi wathuma izithunywa kuThigilati Phileseri inkosi yase-Asiriya ngokuthi: Mina ngiyinceku yakho nendodana yakho : yenyuka, ungisindise esandleni senkosi yase -Aramu nasesandleni senkosi yakwa -Israyeli angivukelayo.

U-Ahazi wathatha isiliva negolide elafunyanwa endlini kaJehova nasengcebeni endlini yenkosi, walithuma enkosini yase-Asiriya laba yisipho.

Inkosi yase -Asiriya yamlalela ; inkosi yase -Asiriya yenyuka ukuhlasela iDamaseku, yalithatha, yathumbela abantu balo eKhiri, yambulala uResini.

Inkosi yase -Asiriya yalanda abantu eBabele , naseKhutha, nase-Ava, naseHamati, naseSefarivayimi, yabahlalisa emizini yaseSamariya esikhundleni sabantwana bakwa -Israyeli; badla iSamariya , bahlala emizi ni yalo.

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 yayisiyala ngokuthi : Yisani khona omunye wabapristi enibathumbile lapho , ahambe ahlale khona , abafundise umthetho kaNkulunkulu wezwe.

Kwenyuka ukulwa naye uShalimaneseri inkosi yase -Asiriya; uHosheya waba yisikhonzi sakhe, wathela intela kuye.

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.

Inkosi yase-Asiriya yayisenyuka, yadabula izwe lonke , yenyukela eSamariya, yalivimbezela iminyaka emithathu.

Ngomnyaka wesishiyagalolunye kaHosheya , inkosi yase -Asiriya yalithatha iSamariya, yathumbela u -Israyeli e -Asiriya, yababeka eHala , naseHabori ngasemfuleni waseGozani, nasemizini yamaMede.

Inkosi yase -Asiriya yathumbela u -Israyeli e -Asiriya, yababeka eHala naseHabori ngasemfuleni waseGozani nasemizini yamaMede,

Ngomnyaka weshumi nane wenkosi uHezekiya , uSaneheribi inkosi yase - Asiriya wenyuka wahlasela yonke imizi ebiyelweyo yakwaJuda, wayithatha.

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,

Abanye onkulunkulu bezizwe bake bophula nokophula yini izwe lakubo esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya na?

UJehova wayenaye; nomaphi lapho eya khona, waphumelela; wayihlubuka inkosi yase-Asiriya, kayikhonzanga.

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

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

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

Ngiyakwenezela ezinsukwini za kho iminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu , ngikophule wena nalo muzi esandleni senkosi yase -Asiriya; ngiyakuwuvikela lo muzi ngenxa yami nangenxa yenceku yami uDavide.

Emihleni yakhe uFaro Nekho inkosi yaseGibithe wenyukela enkosini yase- Asiriya ngasemfuleni u -Ewufrathe; inkosi uJosiya yaya ukuhlangabezana naye; wayibulala eMegido, isanele ukumbona nje.

Inhliziyo yenkosi yase -Aramu yayiphethwe yitwetwe ngale ndaba , yabiza izinceku zayo , yathi kuzo : Ningengitshele yini ukuthi ngobani abakithi abavuma inkosi yakwa-Israyeli na?

Kwathi emva kwalokho uBeni Hadadi , inkosi yase-Aramu, wabutha yonke impi yakhe, wenyuka, wavimbezela iSamariya.

Inkosi yase-Aramu yayisilokhu ilwa no -Israyeli; yelulekana nezinceku zayo ngokuthi: Ukumisa kwami kuyakuba sekuthinithini.

Wahamba noJoramu , indodana ka -Ahabi, ukuba alwe noHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu eRamoti Gileyadi; ama-Aramu amlimaza uJoramu.

Inkosi uJoramu yabuyela ukwelashwa eJizreyeli emanxebeni ayo ayemlimaze wona ama -Aramu eRama ekulweni kwayo noHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu. U-Ahaziya, indodana kaJehoramu , inkosi yakwaJuda , wehlela ukumbona uJoramu, indodana ka-Ahabi eJizreyeli, ngokuba wayegula.

Wayesefika u-Elisha eDamaseku; uBeni Hadadi inkosi yase-Aramu wayegula; watshelwa ukuthi: Umuntu kaNkulunkulu ufikile lapha.

Wayesehamba uHazayeli ukumhlangabeza , wazithathela ngesandla sakhe izipho ezintweni zonke ezinhle zaseDa maseku, imithwalo yamakamela angamashumi amane, weza wema phambi kwakhe , wathi: Indodana yakho uBeni Hadadi, inkosi yase-Aramu, ingithumile kuwe ngokuthi: Ngiyakusinda kulesi sifo na?

UJehu, indodana kaJehoshafati, kaNimishi, wamenzela ugobe uJoramu -- uJoramu wayelinda eRamoti Gileyadi , yena naye wonke u -Israyeli ngenxa kaHazayeli, inkosi yase-Aramu;

kepha inkosi uJoramu yayibuyele eJizreyeli ukuba yelashwe emanxebeni ayo eyayilinyazwe wona ngama -Aramu ekulweni kwayo noHazayeli , inkosi yase-Aramu, uJehu wathi: Uma kungumqondo wenu lokhu , makungabaleki muntu, aphume emzini, aye ukubika eJizreyeli.

U-Asa wakhipha isiliva negolide engcebeni yendlu kaJeho va nasendlini yenkosi, wathumela kuBeni Hadadi, inkosi yase-Aramu owahlala eDamaseku, wathi:

Ngaleso sikhathi kwe za uHanani, umboni ka-Asa, inkosi yakwaJuda, wathi kuye: Ngokuba wencike enkosini yase -Aramu, ungencikanga kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho , ngalokho impi yenkosi yase -Aramu iphunyukile esandleni sakho.

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

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

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

Kwathi ngasekupheleni komnyaka impi yase -Aramu yakhuphukela kuye , yafika kwaJuda naseJerusalema, yabhubhisa zonke izikhulu zabantu phakathi kwabantu, yathuma yonke impango yazo enkosini yaseDamaseku.

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

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

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

UJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe wayesemnikela esandleni senkosi yase - Aramu, bamshaya, bathumba kuye isixuku esikhulu sabathunjwa , babayisa eDamaseku. Naye wanikelwa esandleni senkosi yakwa -Israyeli eyamshaya ngokushaya okukhulu.

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

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

UHezekiya akaniyengi yini ukuba aninikele, nife ngendlala nangokoma , ethi: U Jehova uNkulunkulu wethu uyakusophula esandleni senkosi yase - Asiriya, na?

UJehova wathuma ingelosi eyanquma onke amaqhawe anamandla , nabaholi, nezinduna ekamu lenkosi yase -Asiriya. Yayisibuyela ez weni layo ijabhile. Isingenile endlini kankulunkulu wayo , ababephume ezibilinini zayo bayibulala khona ngenkemba.

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

Qinani, nime isibindi, ningesabi, ningapheli amandla ngenkosi yase -Asiriya nangesixuku sonke esinayo, ngokuba onathi mkhulu kunonaye;

Emva kwalokho uSaneheribi inkosi yase -Asiriya wathuma izinceku za khe eJerusalema wayephambi kweLakishi nab o bonke ababusi benaye kuHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda nakuye wonke uJuda waseJerusalema, wathi:

Ngalokho-ke uJehova wabehlisela izinduna zempi yen kosi yase-Asiriya; zambamba uManase ngamaketanga , zambopha ngawozankosi , zamuyisa eBabele.

Babengenile-ke endlini esalele embhedeni ekamelweni lakhe , bamgwaza, bambulala, bamnquma ikhanda, bathatha ikhanda lakhe, bahamba ngendlela yase-Araba ubusuku bonke.

UManowa walithatha izinyane lembuzi kanye nomnikelo wempuphu , wanikela ngakho kuJehova edwaleni. Yase yenza okumangalisayo, uManowa nomkakhe bebukela.

UMoya kaJehova wayephezu kwakhe, wahlulela u-Israyeli, waphuma impi, uJehova wanikela uKushani Rishatayimi inkosi yase-Aramu Naharayimi esandleni sakhe; isandla sakhe samahlula uKushani Rishatayimi.

Ngalokho intukuthelo kaJehova yavuthela u -Israyeli, wathengisa ngabo esandleni sikaKushani Rishatayimi inkosi yase -Aramu Naharayimi ; abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bamkhonza uKushani Rishatayimi iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili.

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

Lapho bezwa lokho bonke abasembhoshongweni waseS hekemi, bangena enqabeni yendlu yase-Eli Beriti.

Kuthe sebefakazile , belikhulumile izwi leNkosi , babuyela eJerusalema , bashumayela ivangeli emizaneni eminingi yabaseSamariya. Ukuphenduka kwenduna yase-Etiyopiya

Wayesesuka wahamba . Bheka, nansi indoda yase -Etiyopiya, umthenwa, isikhulu sikaKhandakhe inkosikazi yase-Etiyopiya, ebiphezu kwengcebo yayo yonke, ebifikile eJerusalema izakukhuleka;

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

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

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

Abakhileyo kuleli elingasogwini bayakuthi ngalolo suku : Bheka, linjalo ithemba lethu esabalekela kulo ukuba sisizwe , sophulwe enkosini yase - Asiriya; pho-ke, thina siyakuphunyuka kanjani na?

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

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

futhi uHezekiya makanganenzi nethembe uJehova ngokuthi : U Jehova uyakusophula nokusophula , nalo muzi awuyikunikelwa esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya.

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

Xwayani ukuba uHezekiya anganiyengi ngokuthi : UJehova uyakusophula. Abanye onkulunkulu bezizwe bake bophula nokophula yini izwe lakubo esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya na?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova ngenk osi yase -Asiriya, uthi: Ayiyikungena kulo muzi , ayiyikucibishela mcibisholo khona ; ayiyikubhekisa kuwo isihlangu, ayiyikunqwabela iduli ngakuwo.

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

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

u-Isaya wathi kuzo : Niyakusho kanje enkosini yenu , nithi: U sho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ungesabi lawo mazwi owezwileyo, izinceku zenkosi yase - Asiriya ezingithuke ngawo.

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

Ngiyakophula wena nalo muzi esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya, ngiwuvikele lo muzi.

Kwathi ezinsukwini zik a-Ahazi indodana kaJothamu ka -Uziya, inkosi yakwaJuda, uResini inkosi yase-Aramu noPheka indodana kaRemaliya, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, bakhuphukela eJerusalema ukulwa nalo , kepha babengenakulinqoba.

UJehova uyakuletha phezu kwakho , naphezu kwabantu bakho , naphezu kwendlu kayihlo izinsuku ezingafikanga kusukela osukwini u -Efrayimi asuka ngalo kwaJuda -- yinkosi yase-Asiriya.

Ngalolo suku iNkosi iyakuphucula ngensingo eqashiweyo ngaphesheya koMfula yinkosi yase -Asiriya ikhanda noboya bezinyawo , futhi iyakuqeda nesilevu.

Ngokuba inhloko yase -Aramu iyiDamaseku , nenhloko yeDamaseku inguResini; phakathi kweminyaka engamashum i ayisithupha nanhlan u u- Efrayimi uyakwaphulwa angabe esaba yisizwe.

Ngokuba umntwana engakazi ukumemeza ngokuthi baba nomame , kuyakususwa ingcebo yaseDamaseku nempango yaseSamariya phambi kwenkosi yase-Asiriya.

ngalokho bheka , iNkosi iyabakhuphulela amanzi omfula anamandla namaningi -- yinkosi yase-Asiriya nabo bonke ubukhosi bayo -- ukhuphuke phezu kwazo zonke izingu zawo, weqe nazo zonke izindonga zawo,

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

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

Kuyakuthi lapho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho eyakukungenisa ezweni oya kulo ukulidla, usibeke isibusiso entabeni yaseGerizimu nesiqalekiso entabeni yase-Ebali.

laba bayakuma entabeni yase -Ebali babe ngabokuqalekisa : oRubeni, noGadi, no-Asheri, noZebuloni, noDani, noNafetali.

Kuyakuthi lapho seniliwelile iJordani, nimise lawa matshe enginiyala ngawo namuhla entabeni yase-Ebali, uwanameke ngodaka.

Sase sidlula sisuka kubafowethu, abantwana bakwa-Esawu abahlala eSeyiri, sashiya indlela yase -Araba, ne-Elati, ne-Esiyoni Geberi. Saphenduka sadlula ngendlela yasehlane lakwaMowabi.

Khuphukela entabeni yase -Abarimi, intaba yaseNebo esezweni lakwaMowabi, emalungana neJeriko, ulibheke izwe laseKhanani engibanika lona abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba libe yifa labo,

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

Kwathi emihleni ka -Amrafeli inkosi yaseShineyari , no-Ariyoki inkosi yase - Elasare, noKedorlawomere inkosi yase-Elamu, noTidali inkosi yezizwe,

Yaphuma inkosi yaseSodoma , nenkosi yaseGomora , nenkosi yase -Adima, nenkosi yaseSeboyimi , nenkosi yaseBela eliyiSowari ; bahloma, balwa nabo esiGodini saseSidimi.

Balwa noKe dorlawomere inkosi yase -Elamu, noTidali inkosi yezizwe , no- Amrafeli inkosi yaseShineyari , no-Ariyoki inkosi yase -Elasare; amakhosi amane alwa nayisihlanu.

UJehova uNkulunkulu wayesemthatha umuntu , wambeka ensimini yase - Edene ukuba ayilime, ayigcine.

UJehova uNkulunkulu wambumba umuntu ngomhlabathi , waphefumulela emakhaleni akhe umoya wokuphila ; kanjalo umuntu waba umphefumulo ophilayo. Insimu yase-Edene

UJehova uNkulunkulu wammukisa ensimini yase-Edene ukuba alime umhlabathi athathwe kuwo.

Wamxosha u -Adamu, wabeka ngasempumalanga kwensimu yase -Edene amakherubi kanye nenkemba yelangabi ephenduphendukayo , ilinde indlela eya emthini wokuphila.

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

Pho, ufana nobani ngodumo nangobukhulu phakathi kwemithi yase-Edene na? Nokho uyakwehliselwa kokuphansi komhlaba kanye nemithi yase -Edene, ulale phakathi kwabangasokile nabagwazwe ngenkemba . Lo unguFaro nesixuku sakhe sonke, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Ngawenza waba muhle ngobuningi bamagatsha awo , imithi yonke yase - Edene eyayisensimini kaNkulunkulu yaze yaba nomhawu.

Bayakuthi: Leli zwe ekade laliyize selinjengensimu yase -Edene, nemizi echithekileyo neyayiyincithakalo nediliziweyo isibiyelwe, iyahlalwa.

Ikamelo elibheke ngasenyakatho ngelabapristi abagcina inkonzo yase - altare; bangamadodana kaSadoki aphakathi kwamadodana kaLevi , asondela kuJehova ukumkhonza.

nayo yonke ingxubevange yabantu ; onke amakhosi ase -Uzi, nawo onke amakhosi asezweni lamaFilisti e -Ashikeloni, naseGaza, nase-Ekroni, nensali yase-Ashidodi;

Kwathi lapho uSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda nawo onke amadoda empi bezibona, babaleka, bephuma emzini ebusuku ngendlela yensimu yenkosi ngesango phakathi kwezingange zombili; waphuma ngendlela yase-Araba.

U-Israyeli uyimvu ezingelwayo ; izingonyama zimxoshile. Kuqala wadliwa yinkosi yase -Asiriya, nangasemuva uNebukadinesari lo , inkosi yaseBabele , ugedlile amathambo akhe.

Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Bheka, ngiyakujezisa inkosi yaseBabele nezwe layo , njengalokho ngijezisile inkosi yase-Asiriya.

Misani i bhanela ezweni , nibethe amacilongo phakathi kwezizwe , ningcwelise izizwe ukuba zilwe nalo , nilibizele imibuso yase -Ararati, naseMini, nase-Ashikenaze, nibeke phezu kwalo umphathi wempi , nikhuphuke namahhashi anjengezinkumbi ezimahaye.

Kepha wawusufohlwa umuzi , onke amadoda empi abaleka , aphuma emzini ebusuku ngendlela yesango phakathi kwezingange zombili ezazingasensimini yenkosi -- amaKaledi ayekhona nxazonke zomuzi -- ahamba ngendlela yase - Araba.

Benze njalo -ke; bawakhiphela kuye lawo makhosi omahlanu emhumeni : inkosi yaseJerusalema, nenkosi yaseHebroni, nenkosi yaseJarimuthi, nenkosi yaseLakishi, nenkosi yase-Egiloni.

Ngalokho u -Adoni Sedeki inkosi yaseJerusalema wathumela kuHohamu inkosi yaseHebroni, nakuPiramu inkosi yaseJarimuthi , nakuJafiya inkosi yaseLakishi, nakuDebiri inkosi yase-Egiloni, wathi:

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

Kwathi lapho uJabini inkosi yaseHasori ekuzwa lokho , wathumela kuJobabi inkosi yaseMadoni , nakuyo inkosi yaseShimroni , nakuyo inkosi yase - Akishafu,

inkosi yase-Egiloni: inye; inkosi yaseGezeri: inye;

inkosi yaseHorma: inye; inkosi yase-Aradi: inye;

inkosi yaseLibina; inye; inkosi yase-Adulamu: inye;

inkosi yaseShimroni Meroni: inye; inkosi yase-Akishafu: inye;

inkosi yase Thahanaki: inye; inkosi yaseMegido: inye;

inkosi yaseJeriko: inye; inkosi yase-Ayi elingaseceleni kweBethele: inye;

umkhawulo wawususuka esiqongweni sentaba , waya emthonjeni wamanzi aseNefitowa, waphuma waya emizini yasentabeni yase -Efroni; umkhawulo wasuka waya eBahala eliyiKiriyati Jeharimi;

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

Kwathi inkosi yase -Ayi ikubona lokho, ashesha avuka ekuseni amadoda omuzi, aphuma ukuhlasela u -Israyeli, yona nabantu bayo , endaweni enqunyiweyo ngaphambi kwehlane ; yayingazi n okho ukuthi babekhona abayiqamekeleyo ngasemva komuzi.

Inkosi yase-Ayi bayibamba isaphila, bayiyisa kuJoshuwa.

Inkosi yase -Ayi wayiphanyeka emthini kwaze kwahlwa ; ukushona kwelanga uJoshuwa wabayala ukuba behlise isidumbu sayo emthini , basintshinga ngasesikhaleni sesango lomuzi , wamisa phezu kwaso inqwaba enkulu yamatshe ekhona nanamuhla. I-altare entabeni yase-Ebali

Khona uJoshuwa wamakhela uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli i -altare entabeni yase-Ebali,

Bonke abakwa -Israyeli namalunga abo , nezinduna zabo , nabahluleli babo babemi ngalapha nangalapha komphongo lo phambi kwabapristi bamaLevi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova , abafokazi nabokuzalwa ekhaya, inxenye yabo ibhekene nentaba yaseGerizimu , inxenye yabo ibhekene nentaba yase-Ebali, njengalokho uMose inceku kaJehova ebeyalile , ukuba babusise abantu bakwa-Israyeli kuqala.

Phambi kwabo kuyadla umlilo , nasemva kwabo kushisa ilangabi ; izwe liphambi kwabo njengensimu yase -Edene, nangasemva kwabo kuyihlane lencithakalo, akukho okubabalekelayo.

Yiba nemihelo , uzale, ndodakazi yase Siyoni njengobelethayo , ngokuba manje uyakuphuma emzini , uhlale endle , ufike naseBabele , lapho uzakophulwa khona; lapho uJehova uyakukukhulula esandleni sezitha zakho.

Abelusi bakho balele , nkosi yase -Asiriya; abakhulu bakho bayaphumula ; abantu bakho bahlakazekile ezintabeni, akakho obabuthayo.

Niyakugcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele nenkonzo yase -altare, ukuze ulaka lungabe lusaba khona phezu kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

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

UJehova wathi kuMose : Khuphukela entabeni yase -Abarimi, ubheke izwe engibanikile lona abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

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