besivimbela ukukhuluma nabezizwe ukuba basindiswe, ukuze bagcwalise njalo izono zabo; kepha ulaka selufinyelele phezu kwabo ngokupheleleyo. Uthando lukaPawulu aluguqukile

bayakukubingelela, bakunike izi nkwa ezimbili oyakuzamukela ezandleni zabo.

Kakhulu kangakanani, uma abantu bebedlile impela impango yezitha zabo abayifumanayo, ngokuba nga engabulawanga kakhulu amaFilisti na?

Waguquka ingqondo phambi kwabo , wazenza ohlanyayo ezandleni zabo , wadweba ezivalweni zamasango, wehlisela amathe esilevini.

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.

UJehova wathi kuSamuweli : Bheka, ngiyakwenza into kwa -Israyeli eziyakunkeneneza ngayo izindlebe zombili zabo bonke abayizwayo.

Nenzeleni zibe lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu , njengalokho abaseGibithe noFaro bazenza lukhuni izinhliziyo zabo na ? Lapho esebenzile phakathi kwabo , ababavumelanga yini ukuba bahambe na?

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

Kuze kube namuhla benza njengemithetho yakuqala : abamesabi uJehova, abenzi njengezimiso , nezimemezelo zabo, nomthetho wabo , nemiyalo yabo uJehova ayala ngayo abantwana bakwaJakobe amutha u-Israyeli,

Base befika u -Eliyakimi indodana kaHilikiya owayephezu kwendlu , noShebina umlobi , noJowa indodana ka -Asafa, umabhalana, kuHezekiya, izingubo zabo ziklebhukile, bamlandisa amazwi kaRabi Shake.

ngalokho usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Bheka, ngiletha okubi phezu kweJerusalema naphezu kukaJuda ngangokuthi bonke abakuzwayo, izindlebe zabo zombili ziyakunkeneza ngakho.

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

Yaphahlaza izinsika , yanquma o -Ashera, yagcwalisa izindawo zabo ngamathambo abantu.

Inkosi yenyukela endlini kaJehova, bonke abantu bakwaJuda nabo bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema benayo, kanye nabapristi nabaprofethi, yebo, abantu bonke, abancane nabakhulu, yafunda ezindlebeni zabo onke amazwi encwadi yesivumelwano ebifunyenwe endlini kaJehova.

UHazayeli wathi: Inkosi yami ikhalelani na? Yathi: Ngokuba ngiyazi okubi oyakukwenza kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli; uyakuthungela izinqaba zabo ngomlilo, ubulale izinsizwa zabo ngenkemba, uphahlaze izingane zabo, uqaqe abesifazane babo abakhulelweyo.

Emva kwabo kwaphuma ezizweni zonke zakwa -Israyeli abanhliziyo zabo zibhekiswe ukufuna uJehova uNkulun kulu wakwa -Israyeli, bafika eJerusalema ukuhlabela uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

Inkosi yakwa -Israyeli noJehoshafati inkosi yakwaJuda babehle zi, kwaba yilowo nalowo esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi , bembethe izambatho zabo , behlezi esibuyeni ngasesikhaleni sesango laseSamariya ; bonke abaprofethi baprofetha phambi kwabo.

Bakhuphula, bakhipha eGibithe inqola ngamashekeli angamakhulu ayisithupha esiliva , nehhashi ng ayikhulu namashumi ayisihlanu ; bawakhiphela kanjalo onke amakhosi amaHeti namakhosi ase -Aramu ngezandla zabo.

Wonke uJuda wayemi phambi kukaJehova , nezingane zabo, nawomkabo, namadodana abo.

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

Kepha izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga ; futhi aban tu babengabhekisanga izinhliziyo zabo kuNkulunkulu wawoyise.

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

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

Phansi kwezandl a zabo kwakukhona impi enamandla eyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu nezinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu ayisihlanu, eyalwa ngamandla amakhulu ukuba isize inkosi ezitheni.

Base besondeza izimpongo ngenxa yomnikelo wesono phambi kwenkosi nebandla; babeka izandla zabo phezu kwazo;

Bema ezindaweni zabo njengehlelo labo ngokomthetho kaMose , umuntu kaNkulunkulu; abapristi bafafaza ngegazi elalisesandleni samaLevi.

bonke ababebhekisa izinhliziyo zabo ukufuna uNkulunkulu , uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise, noma kungenjengokuhlanjululwa kwendlu engcwele.

Phansi kwakhe kwakungo -Edene, noMiniyamini, noJeshuwa, noShemaya, no-Amariya, noShekaniya emizini yabapristi ezikhundleni zabo ukuba babele abafowabo ngezigaba zabo abakhulu njengabancane,

ngaphandle kwabesilisa ababhaliweyo ngezizukulwane zabo , kusukela kwabaneminyaka emithathu kuya phezulu , bonke ababengena endlini kaJehova ngendaba yomsebenzi wabo wemihla ngemihla ngezimfanelo zabo nezigaba zabo;

Babhalwa ngezizukulwane kanye nezingane zabo , nawomkabo, namadodana abo, namadodakazi abo, isixuku sonke, ngokuba bazingcwelisa ngobungcwele ezikhundleni zabo.

UHezekiya wamisa izigaba zabapristi nezamaLevi ngezigaba zabo , kwaba yilowo nalowo njengenkonzo yakhe , abapristi namaLevi beminikelo yokushiswa neminikelo yokuthula, ukuba bakhonze , babonge, badumise emasangweni ekamu likaJehova,

ngokuba bangishiyile, bashisela abanye onkulunkulu impepho baze bangicunula ngayo yonke imisebenzi yezandla zabo ; intukuthelo yami isithululelwe kule ndawo, ayiyikucinywa.

Inkosi yakhuphukela endlini kaJehova kanye nabo bonke abantu bakwaJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema , nabapristi, namaLevi, nabantu bonke, abakhulu nabancane, wafunda ezindlebeni zabo onke amazwi encwadi yesivumelwano ebifunyenwe endlini kaJehova.

Emizini y akwaManase, nakwa-Efrayimi, nakwaSimeyoni kwaze kwaba nakwaNafetali wacinga ezindlini zabo nxazonke.

Yayisilungiswa-ke inkonzo ; abapristi bema ezindaweni zabo namaLevi ngezigaba zawo njengesiyalezo senkosi.

Balihlaba iphasika, abapristi bafafaza ngezandla zabo, amaLevi alihlinza.

Wamisa abapristi ezikhundleni zabo , wabaqinisa emsebenzini wendlu kaJehova.

Ngalokho wabehlisela inkosi yamaKaledi eyabulala izinsizwa zabo ngenkemba endlini yabo engcwele , ayihawukelanga nansizwa , nantombi, naxhegu, nogugileyo; wabanikela bonke esandleni sayo.

Kwathi lapho abapristi seb ephumile endaweni engcwele ngokuba bonke abapristi ababe khona babezingcwelisile bengazigcinanga izigaba zabo,

Uma kukhona indlala ezweni , noma kukhona isifo , noma kukhona ukuhamuka, nesikhutha, nesikhonyane, nemiswenya, noma izitha zabo zibavimbezela ezweni lemizi yabo, noma kuyiphi inhlupheko nasiphi isifo,

Uma abantu bakho bephuma impi ukulwa nezitha zabo ngendlela obathuma ngayo , bese bekhuleka kuJehova be bhekene nalo muzi owukhethileyo nale ndlu engiyakhele igama lakho,

bazithobe abantu bami ababizwa ngegama lami , bakhuleke, bafune ubuso bami, baphenduke ezindleleni zabo ezimbi , ngiyakuzwa ezulwini , ngithethelele isono sabo, ngiphilise izwe labo.

Abapristi bema njengezikhundla zabo kanye namaLev i, benezinto zokubethwa ayezenzile uDavide inkosi ukuba babonge uJehova , ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade , lapho uDavide edumisa ngezandla zabo ; abapristi bakhalisa amacilongo ngaphambi kwabo, esemi wonke u-Israyeli.

Wamisa njengomthetho kaDavide uyise izigaba zabapristi enkonzweni yabo, namaLevi ezikhundl eni zawo ukuba adumise , akhonze phambi kwabapristi njengokudingekayo imihla ngemihla , nabalindisango ngezigaba zabo emasangweni ngamasango , ngokuba uDavide umuntu kaNkulunkulu wayeyale kanjalo.

nokudla kwasetafuleni lakhe , nokuhlala kwezinceku zakhe , nokuma kwezikhonzi zakhe , nezambatho zazo , kanye nabaphathizitsha nezambatho zabo, nesikhwelo sakhe akhuphukela ngaso endlini kaJehova , akwabe kusabakho moya kuyo.

nazi kuqala lokhu ukuthi nge zinsuku zokugcina kuyakufika abahleki abahleka usulu, behamba ngezinkanuko zabo,

Ngokuba kuyakuba khona isikhathi abangayikuvuma ngaso isifundiso esiphilayo, kepha ngokwezinkanuko zabo bayakuzibuthela abafundisi njengokubatshwa kwezindlebe zabo,

bafulathelise izindlebe zabo eqinisweni, baphambukele ezinganekwaneni.

Ngokuba asinasibindi sokuzilinganisa nokuzifanisa nabathile babo abazincomayo. Kodwa bona, nxa bezilinganisa ngezingqobo zabo , bezifanisa nezingqobo zabo, kaba namqondo.

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

Wathi-ke u -Ahithofeli ku -Abisalomu: Ngena kuzo izancinza z ikayihlo azishiyile ukuba zilinde indlu ; u-Israyeli wonke uyakuzwa ukuba unengwa nguyihlo, ziqine izandla zabo bonke abanawe.

Wathi futhi uHushayi : Uyamazi uyihlo nabant u bakhe ukuthi bangamaqhawe nokuthi bacasukile ezinhliziyweni zabo njengebhere elaphucwe amazinyane alo endle ; uyihlo uyindoda yempi , akayikuhlala nabantu.

Abafo babuna, baphuma ezinqabeni zabo bethuthumela.

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.

UJayire wafa, wembelwa eKhamoni. Abakwa-Israyeli babuyela esandleni sezitha zabo

Kwathi lapho izinhliziyo zabo sez esasile, bathi: Mbizeni uSamsoni ukuba asidlalele. Bambiza uSamsoni esetilongweni , wadlala phambi kwabo , bambeka phakathi kwezinsika.

Lase limngenisa endlini yalo , lazinika izimbongolo ifoliji ; bageza izinyawo zabo, badla, baphuza.

Besajabulisa izinhliziyo zabo, bheka, abantu bomuzi, abantu ababi, bahaqa indlu nxazonke, bangqongqotha emnyango ; basho kum ninindlu, ixhegu, bathi: Khipha lowo muntu owangena endlini yakho ukuba simazi.

Intukuthelo kaJehova yavuthela abakwa -Israyeli, wabanikela esandleni sabaphangi ababaphanga , wathengisa ngabo esandleni sezitha zabo nxazonke. Ababe besaba nakuma phambi kwezitha zabo.

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

Kepha kwathi ekufeni komahluleli babuyela emuva , bona kakhulu kunawoyise, ngokulandela abanye onkulunkulu ukuba ba bakhonze, babakhothamele; abayekanga izenzo zabo nendlela yabo yenkani.

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

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.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babengakhumbuli uJehova uNkulunkulu wab o owabophula esandleni sezitha zonke zabo nxazonke.

Ake nikhulume ezindlebeni zabo bonke abantu baseShekemi, nithi: Yikuphi okuhle kini ukuba onke amadodana kaJerubali angabantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa anibuse nokuba nibuswe n gumuntu munye na ? Khumbulani ukuthi mina ngiyithambo lenu nenyama yenu.

Baya endle , bavuna izivini zabo , banyathela imivini , bagubha umkhosi , bangena endlini kankulunkulu wabo , badla, baphuza, bamqalekisa u - Abimeleki.

Abafowabo bakanina base bekhuluma ngaye ezindlebeni zabo bonke abantu baseShekemi onke lawo mazwi ; izinhliziyo zabo zathanda ukumlandela u - Abimeleki, ngokuba bathi: Ungumfowethu.

Wandisa kakhulu abantu bakhe; wabenza babe namandla kunezitha zabo.

Waphendula amanzi abo aba yigazi; wabhubhisa izinhlanzi zabo.

Amanzi asibekela izitha zabo; akwasala noyedwa kubo.

Bamcunula ngezenzo zabo; kwabhoboka isifo phakathi kwabo.

Bakhonza izithombe zabo, zaba lugibe kubo.

Bangcola kanjalo ngemisebenzi yabo, baphinga ezenzweni zabo.

Izitha zabo zabacindezela, bathotshiswa phansi kwesandla sazo.

Base bekhala kuJehova ekuhluphekeni kwabo, wabakhulula ezinsizini zabo.

Wabakhipha ebumnyameni nasethunzini lokufa, wagqabula izibopho zabo.

Babe yizithutha ngenxa yeziphambeko zabo ; ngenxa yobubi babo babehlushwa.

Abantwana bakhe mababe yizintandane , baphanze, bacele bekude nezindawo zabo ezichithekileyo.

Izithombe zabo ziyisiliva negolide, umsebenzi wezandla zomuntu.

Ngokuba intonga yababi ayinakuhlala phezu kwesabelo sabalungileyo, funa abalungileyo belulele izandla zabo kokubi.

Jehova, yenza okuhle kubo abalungileyo nabaqotho ezinhliziyweni zabo.

Kepha abaphambukela ezindleleni zabo eziyizinsongensong e uJehova uzakubahambisa kanye nabenza okubi. Ukuthula makube phezu kuka - Israyeli.

Ibusisiwe indoda emgodla wayo ugcwele bona ; abayikujabha lapho bekhuluma nezitha zabo esangweni.

Bayalola ulimi lwabo njengenyoka ; isihlungu samabululu siphansi kwezindebe zabo. Sela

Ungaphenduleli inhliziyo yami entweni emb i ukuba ngenze imisebenzi yobubi kanye nabantu abenza okubi, ngingadli izibilebile zabo.

Labo bayakhala, uJehova uyezwa; uyabakhulula kuzo zonke izinhlupheko zabo.

Ukucabanga kwabo kuthi izindlu zabo zizakuma kuze kube phakade, nemizi yabo ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane ; amazwe abo bawabiza ngamagama abo.

Isiwula sithi enhliziyweni yaso : Akakho uNkulunkulu , iziphambeko zabo zimbi, ziyanengeka; akakho owenza okuhle.

Ukufa makubazume , bashonele endaweni yabafileyo besezwa , ngokuba ububi busezindlini zabo nasezinhliziyweni zabo.

ngiyakuhambela izono zabo ngenduku, namacala abo ngemivimbo.

Phakama, Mahluleli womhlaba, uphindisele kwabazidlayo izenzo zabo.

Iminyaka engamashumi amane nganengwa yileso sizukulwane , ngaze ngathi: Bangabantu abanhliziyo zabo zidukile, abazazanga izindlela zami,

Jehova Nkulunkulu wethu , wena ubaphendulile , waba kubo uNkulunkulu othethelelayo nophindiselayo ngezenzo zabo.

Yilabo abakhononayo nabasolayo , behamba ngezinkanuko zabo , umlomo wabo ukhuluma uwangala, betusa ubuso ngenxa yenzuzo. UJuda ululeka ukuba baqine ekukholweni

abasho ukuthi ngesikhathi sokugcina kuyakuba khona abahleka usulu , behamba ngezinkanuko zabo zokungamesabi uNkulunkulu.

Kwathi emva kwalezo zinsuku ezintathu nenxenye umoya wokuphila ovela kuNkulunkulu wangena kubo ; base bema ngezinyawo zabo , nabababonayo behlelwa ngukwesaba okukhulu.

Bezwa izwi elikhulu livela ezulwini , lithi kubo : Yenyukelani lapha. Base benyukela ezulwini ngefu, nezitha zabo zababona.

Uma kukhona ofuna ukona laba , kuphuma umlilo emlonyeni wabo , udle izitha zabo, uziqede; yebo, uma kukhona ofuna ukona laba , kumelwe ukuba abulawe kanjalo.

Nezidumbu zabo ziyakusala ezitaladini zomuzi omkhulu othiwa ngokomoya iSodoma neGibithe, lapho neNkosi yabo yabethelwa khona.

Abanye kubantu nabemindeni nabezilimi nabezizwe bayakuzibona izidumbu zabo izinsuku ezintathu nenxenye , bengavumi ukuba izidumbu zabo zifakwe ethuneni.

Eyesihlanu yathululela isitsha say o esihlalweni sobukhosi sesilo ; nombuso waso wenziwa mnyama, baluma izilimi zabo ngenxa yobuhlungu,

futhi bahlambalaza uNkulunkulu wezulu ngenxa yobuhlungu babo nangenxa yezilonda zabo; kepha abaphendukanga emisebenzini yabo.

Babusisiwe abahlanza izingubo zabo ukuba bathole ilu ngelo labo emthini wokuphila, bangene emzini ngamasango.

Kepha-ke unamagama ayingcosana eSardesi alabo abangangcolisanga izingubo zabo; bayakuhamba nami bembethe okumhlophe, ngokuba bafanele.

Ngase ngithi kulo: Nkosi yami, nguwe owaziyo. Lase lithi kimi : Laba yibo abaphuma osizini olukhulu , bahlanza izingubo zabo , bazenza zaba mhlophe egazini leWundlu.

Kepha abaseleyo babantu abangabulawanga ngalezo zinhlupho abaphendukanga emisebenzini yezandla zabo ukuba bangakhuleki kuwo amademoni, nezithombe zegolide , nezesiliva, nezethusi, nezamatshe, nezemithi, ezingenakho ukubona, nakuzwa, nakuhamba,

Izinhliziyo zabo zikhala eNkosini ; wena lugange lwendodakazi yaseSiyoni , izinyembezi mazehl e njengemifula imini nobusuku . Mawungazivumeli ukuphumula, inhlamvu yeso lakho ingayeki.

Bheka, Jehova, ubone ukuthi wenzile kanjalo kubani . Abesifazane bayakudla yini izithelo zabo , izingane eziphathiweyo kahle, na? Abaprofethi nabapristi bayakubulawa endlini engcwele yeNkosi, na?

Uyakubaphindisela, Jehova, ngokwemisebenzi yezandla zabo.

Izandla zabesifazane abahawukelayo zapheka izingane zabo; zazingukudla kwabo ngokuchithwa kwendodakazi yabantu bami.

Bazulazula njengezimpumputhe ezitaladini, bengcolile ngegazi ngangokuba zazingenakuthintwa izingubo zabo.

Izikhulu zaphanyekwa ngezandla zabo; ubuso babadala ababuhloniphanga.

Ukulunga kwabaqotho kuyabophula , kepha abambuluzayo babanjwa ezifisweni zabo.

Zinjalo izindlela zabo bonke abaphanga impango ; iyasusa ukuphila komniniyo.

ukuba aqonde izaga nezimfihlakalo , namazwi abahlakaniphileyo nezimfumbe zabo.

Ngokuba izinhliziyo zabo ziceba ukuchitha, nezindebe zabo zikhuluma ngengozi.

abazindlela zabo ziyisigwegwe, nemikhondo yabo iphambene,

ukuze ngenze abangithandayo badle ifa lemfuyo , ngigcwalise izindlu zabo zengcebo.

Bona-ke babavuthululela uthuli lwezinyawo zabo, beza e-Ikoniyu.

Kwathi ukuba bakuzwe lokho abaphostoli oBarnaba noPawulu , baklebhula izingubo zabo, baphonseka phakathi kwesixuku bememeza

Nokho bahlala isikhathi eside , befundisa ngesibindi ngeNkosi eyafa kazela izwi lomusa wayo , ibanika ukuba kwenziwe izibonakaliso nezimangaliso ngezandla zabo.

futhi akahlukanisanga ngalutho phakathi kwethu nabo , ehlambulula izinhliziyo zabo ngokukholwa.

yena eyaliwe kanjalo wabaphonsa etilongweni elingaphakathi, wabopha izinyawo zabo ogongolweni. Ukuphenduka komgciniziboshwa

kwavela ngokuzuma ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu , kwaze kwazanyazanyiswa izisekelo zetilongo ; kwavuleka khona lapho iminyango yonke, kwathukuluka nezibopho zabo bonke.

nabaningi kwabakholwayo beza bazivuma, bazibika izenzo zabo.

Kepha abaningi kubo ababenza imilingo babuthela ndawonye izincwadi zabo, bazishisa phambi kwabo bonke ; bahlanganisa amanani azo , bafumana ukuthi ayizinhlamvu zesiliva eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisihlanu.

kwathi ngolwesithathu balahla izimpahla zomkhumbi ngezandla zabo.

Yona yasiphatha ngobuqili isizwe sakithi, yabahlupha obaba ngokubalahlisa izingane zabo zingaphili.

Kepha obaba abavumanga ukumlalela , kodwa bamhlohloloza, babuyela emuva eGibithe ngezinhliziyo zabo,

Benza ithole ngaleyo mihla , baletha umhlatshelo e sithombeni, bajabula ngemisebenzi yezandla zabo.

bamkhiphela ngaphandle komuzi , bamkhanda ngamatshe. Ofakazi babeka izingubo zabo ngasezinyaweni zensizwa egama layo linguSawulu.

Yilesi sivumelwano engizakusenza nabo , emva kwalezo zinsuku , isho iNkosi: Ngiyakufaka imithetho yami ezinhliziyweni zabo , ngiyilobe engqondweni yabo,

nezono zabo nobubi babo angisoze ngakukhumbula futhi.

Yibaphi-ke anengwa yibo iminyaka engamas humi amane na ? Kwakungesibo abonayo, abazidumbu zabo zawa ehlane na?

Ngokuba yilesi esiyisivumelwano engiyakusenza nendlu ka -Israyeli emva kwalezo zinsuku , isho iNkosi : ngiyakufaka imithetho yami engqondweni yabo, ngiyilobe ezinhliziyweni zabo, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami.

Ngokuba ngiya kuba nesihawu ngokungalungi kwabo , nezono zabo angisayikuzikhumbula.

ukuze izinhliziyo zabo ziduduzwe , behlanganisiwe othandweni babe nengcebo yonke yokwazi okuphelele , bazisise imfihlakalo kaNkulunkulu enguKristu,

Yilesi isivumelwano sami nabo, lapho ngisusa izono zabo.

Kwaba kuhle, ngokuba nembala banecala kubo ; ngokuba uma abezizwe behlanganyela nabo ezintweni zabo zokomoya , banecala futhi lokubakhonza ngezokwenyama.

Ngalokho uNkulunkulu wabanikela ezinkanukweni zezinhliziyo zabo kukho ukungcola, bahlazisane imizimba yabo,

babonakalisa ukuthi umsebenzi womthetho ulotshiwe ezinhliziyweni zabo, nonembeza wabo uyafakaza naye , imicabango yabo imangalelana noma ivunana,

Umphimbo wabo uyiliba elivulekileyo , ngezilimi zabo bayakhohlisa , isihlungu sezinyoka siphansi kwezindebe zabo;

izinyawo zabo zishesha ukuchitha igazi,

incithakalo nosizi kusezindleleni zabo,

Babusisiwe abathethelelwe izeqo zabo, nabazono zabo zisitshekelwe;

Esegeze izinyawo zabo wathabatha izingubo zakhe , wabuye wahlala, wathi kubo: Niyakwazi yini engikwenzile kini na?

Enibathethelela izono zabo bathethelelwe; nenibabamba ngazo babanjiwe.

Bathi ukuzwa lokho , belahlwa yizinhliziyo zabo baphuma ngabanye , beqalela kwabadala kwaze kwaba ngabokugcina , uJesu wasala yedwa ; nowesifazane wayemi khona.

Ngiyakwazi engiyakukwenza ukuba bangamukele ezindlini zabo , nxa ngikhishwa ebuphathini.

Base beliletha kuJesu; babeka izingubo zabo phezu kwethole , bamkhwelisa uJesu.

Esahamba, babendlala izingubo zabo endleleni.

nabo bonke abazizwayo bazigcina ezinhliziyweni zabo , bethi: Kodwa lo mntwana uyakuba yini na? Isandla seNkosi sasinaye.

ukunika abantu bayo ukuyazi insindiso ngokuthethelelwa kwezono zabo,

Abantu besabhekile, bezindla bonke ezinhliziyweni zabo ngoJohan e ukuthi ingabe unguKristu yini,

Kepha uJesu ezazi izizindlo zabo waphendula , wathi kubo : Nizindlani ezinhliziyweni zenu na?

ababezile ukumuzwa nokuphulukiswa ezifweni zabo ; nababekhathazwa ngawomoya abangcolileyo baphulukiswa.

Kepha waz azi izizindlo zabo wathi kuyo indoda esandla sishwabene : Sukuma, ume phakathi. Wasukuma-ke, wema.

Baliletha ithole kuJesu, babeka izingubo zabo phezu kwalo, wakhwela kulo.

Abaningi bendlala izingubo zabo endleleni , abanye amahlamvu ababewagawule endle.

Kwaphumela kuye izwe lonke laseJudiya nabo bonke abaseJerusalema , babhapathizwa nguye emfuleni iJordani, bevuma izono zabo.

Kepha kwakukhona ababhali abathile behlezi khona, bezindla ezinhliziyweni zabo ngokuthi:

Kepha uJesu ezazi izizindlo zabo wathi kubo : Yilowo nalowo mbuso owahlukene wodwa uyachitheka , nalowo muzi nokuba indlu eyahlukene yodwa ingeme.

Bhekani ningadeleli namunye kulaba abancinyane , ngokuba ngithi kini : Izingelosi zabo ezulwini zibona njalo ubuso bukaBaba osezulwini.

Uzakuzala indodana , uyiqambe igama lokuthi uJesu , ngokuba nguye oyakusindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo.

baletha imbongolo nethole , babeka izingubo zabo phezu kwazo , wahlala phezu kwazo.

babhapathizwa nguye emfuleni iJordani bevuma izono zabo.

Ngokuba uma nithethelela abantu iziphambeko zabo, noYihlo wasezulwini uyakunithethelela nani.

Kepha uma ningathetheleli abantu iziphambeko zabo, noYihlo akayikunithethelela iziphambeko zenu.

Niyakubazi ngezithelo zabo . Kungakhiwa yini izithelo zomvini emeveni noma amakhiwane ekhakhasini na?

Njalo-ke niyakubazi ngezithelo zabo.

UJesu ezazi izizindlo zabo wathi: Nizindlelani okubi ezinhliziyweni zenu na?

Ngokuba abakwazi ukwenza okulungileyo , usho uJehova ; babekelela ubudlova nokuphanga ezindlini zabo zamakhosi.

Balele emibhedeni yophondo lwendlovu , bacambalala ezinkukhweni zabo ; badla amawundlu omhlambi namathole avela phakathi kwesibaya.

UJehova ufungile ukuziqhenya kukaJakobe ngokuthi : Impela angiyikukhohlwa kuze kube phakade nesisodwa sezenzo zabo.

Noma beya ekuthunjweni phambi kwezitha zabo , ngiyakubiza inkemba ukuba iphume khona , ibabulale, ngibeke amehlo ami kub o kube kubi , kungabi kuhle.

Izindlu zakho , nezindlu zezinceku zakho zonke , nezindlu zabo bonke abaseGibithe ziyakugcwaliswa yiso , abangazange basibone esinjalo oyihlo nawoyise bawoyihlo , selokhu ba fika emhlabeni kuze kube namuhla . Waphenduka, waphuma kuFaro.

Abantu base bethatha inhlama yabo ingakavutshelwa , nezingqwembe zabo zokuxova isinkwa, ziboshwe ezingutsheni zabo emahlombe abo.

Kungubusuku obuzakugcinelwa uJehova ngokubakhipha kwakhe ezweni laseGibithe, ngubusuku bukaJehova obuzakugc inwa yibo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ezizukulwaneni zabo. Umthetho wephasika

Wayesethi uJehova kuMose : Yelula isandla sakho phezu kolwandle ukuba amanzi abuyele phezu kwabaseGibithe , phezu kwezinqola zabo nabamahhashi babo.

Uma wenza lokhu, noNkulunkulu ekuyala kanje, uzakuba namandla okuma, nabo bonke laba bantu bayakubuyela ezindaweni zabo benokuthula.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Hamba uye kubantu , ubangcwelise namuhla nakusasa, bahlanze izingubo zabo,

UMose wehla entabeni , wabuyela kubantu , wabangcwelisa abantu ; bahlanza-ke izingubo zabo.

Awuyikubakhothamela onkulunkulu babo , ungabakhonzi, ungenzi njengokwemisebenzi yabo , kepha wobachitha impela , ubhidlize izithombe zabo.

Yisho kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli ukuba bangithabathele umnikelo ; kubo bonke abantu abanhliziyo zabo zivuma anothabatha umnikelo wami.

Etendeni lokuhlangana ngaphandle kwesihenqo esiphambi kobufakazi u - Aroni namadodana akhe bayakuziphath a kwasekuhlweni kuze kuse phambi kukaJehova; kuyakuba yisimiso sabantwana bakwa -Israyeli kuze kube phakade ezizukulwaneni zabo.

Uyakuba sebunzini lika -Aroni, u-Aroni athwale ububi bezinto ezingcwele , abantwana bakwa-Israyeli abayakuzingcwelisa, zibe yizipho zabo ezingcwele; uyakuba sebunzini lakhe njalo ukuba bamukeleke ebusweni bukaJehova.

Uyisondeze inkunzi ngaphambi kwetende lokuhlangana ; u-Aroni namadodana akhe babeke izandla zabo enhloko yenkunzi.

Wothabatha inqama ibe nye ; u-Aroni namadodana akhe babeke izandla zabo enhloko yenqama.

Uthabathe enye inqama ; u-Aroni namadodana akhe babek e izandla zabo enhloko yayo.

Ubuye ukuthabathe ezandleni zabo , ukushise e -altare phezu kom nikelo wokushiswa, kube yiphunga elimnandi phambi kukaJehova : kungumnikelo womlilo kuJehova.

U-Aroni namadodana akhe bayakuhlamba kuwo izandla zabo nezinyawo zabo.

mabahlambe izandla zabo nezinyawo zabo ukuba bangafi , kube yisimiso esiphakade kubo, kuyena nakuyo inzalo yakhe ezizukulwaneni zabo. Amafutha angcwele okugcoba

Ngalokho abakwa-Israyeli bayakuligcina isabatha, balilonde ezizukulwaneni zabo libe yisivumelwano esiphakade.

UMose wababona abantu ukuthi babedlubulundile ; ngokuba u -Aroni wayebakhululile baze bahlekwa yizitha zabo;

Bonke abantu bakhumula -ke amacici egolide asezindlebeni zabo , bawayisa ku-Aroni.

Wawamukela ezandleni zabo , wawabumba ngengwedo , wawenza aba yithole elibu njiweyo, bathi: Nampa onkulunkulu bakho , Israyeli, abakukhuphula ezweni laseGibithe.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bazihlubula izivunulo zabo, kusukela entabeni yaseHorebe. Insika yefu

Kepha niyakuwadiliza ama -altare abo , niziphahlaze izinsika zabo , nibagawule o-Ashera babo,

Beza abesilisa nabesifazane, bonke abaqhutshwa yizinhliziyo zabo , baletha iziqhobosho namacici nezindandatho namasongo, izinto zonke zegolide , bonke ababenokunikela ngomnikelo wegolide kuJehova.

Bonke abesifazane abahlakaniphile ngenhliziyo baphotha ngezandla zabo , baletha okuphothiweyo , okuluhlaza nokububende nokubomvu , nelineni elicolekileyo.

Bonke abesifazane abavuselwa yizinhliziyo zabo ukuhlakanipha baphotha uboya bezimbuzi.

UMose wababiza oBesaleli no -Oholiyabe nabo bonke abahlakaniphile ngenhliziyo, uJehova abeke ukuhlakanipha ezinhliziyweni zabo , bonke abavuswa yizinhliziyo zabo ukuza emsebenzini ukuba bawenze.

Wayesethi uJehova : Ngibonile nokubona ukuhlupheka kwabantu bami abaseGibithe; ngizwile ukukhala kwabo ngenxa yabacindezeli babo , ngokuba ngiyazazi izinsizi zabo;

uwagcobe, njengalokho wamgcoba uyise , ukuba bangikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi, ukugcotshwa kwabo kube ngubupristi obuphakade kubo ezizukulwaneni zabo.

OMose no -Aroni namadodana akhe bahlambela kuwo izandla zabo nezinyawo zabo.

Njalo lapho ifu lenyuswa etabernakele , abantwana bakwa -Israyeli baqhubekela phambili ezinkambeni zabo zonke.

Ngokuba ifu likaJehova laliphezu kwetabernakele emini , nomlilo wawukulo ebusuku emehlweni ayo yonke indlu yakwa -Israyeli ezinkambeni zabo zonke. ULEVITIKUS

Baphuma-ke abaphathi babantu nezinduna zabo , bakhuluma kubantu , bathi: UFaro usho uthi: Angisayikuninika utshani.

Ngalona lolo suku uFaro wayala abaphathi babantu nezinduna zabo, wathi:

Ngokuba yilowo nalowo waphonsa phansi induku yakhe , zaphenduka izinyoka; kepha induku ka-Aroni yagwinya izinduku zabo.

Impinda yokulotshiweyo yanikwa ukuba ibe yisimemezelo ezifundeni zonke, kumenyezelwe kubantu bonke ukuba abaJuda bazilungiselele lolo suku, baziphindisele ezitheni zabo.

amadodana ayishumi kaHamani indodana kaHamedatha, isitha sabaJuda, kepha ababekanga izandla zabo empangweni.

AbaJuda ababe seShushani babuth ana nangosuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga ka-Adari, babulala abantu abangamakhulu amathathu eShushani , kepha ababekanga izandla zabo empangweni.

Abanye abaJuda ababe sezifundeni zenkosi babuthana , bamela ukuphila kwabo, baphumula ezitheni za bo, babulala abay izinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu ababazondayo , kepha ababekanga izandla zabo empangweni.

njengezinsuku abaJuda abathola ngazo ukuphumula ezitheni zabo nenyanga eyaguqulwa kubo osizini yaba ngeyokuthokoza nasekulilen i kwaba lusuku oluhle, bazenze zibe yizinsuku zedili nezokuthokoza nezokuthumelana izipho omunye komunye, kanye nezipho kwabampofu.

AbaJuda baceka zonke izitha zabo ngokuceka kwenkemba , nangokubulala, nangokuchitha, benza kwababazondayo njengokuthanda kwabo.

Banika izandla zabo zokuthi bayakulahla abafazi babo ; lokhu benecala , banikela ngenqama yomhlambi ngecala labo.

Bonke ababazungezayo basekela izandla zabo ngezitsha zesiliva , nangegolide, nangempahla, nangezinkomo, nangamagugu, kanye nakho konke okwanikelwa ngakho ngenhliziyo.

ngaphandle kwezinceku zabo nezincekukazi zabo ezaziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu amathathu namashumi amathathu nesikhombisa; babe nabahlabeleli besilisa nabesifazane abangamakhulu amabili.

Sabuza n amagama abo ukuba sikwazise , sibhale amagama abantu ababe yizinhloko zabo.

Makwazeke enkosini ukuthi saya ezweni lakwaJuda endlini kaNkulun kulu omkhulu eyakhiwe ngamatshe amakhulu , imithi ifakwe ezindongeni ; lo msebenzi uqhubeka ngesineke, unempumelelo ezandleni zabo.

uNkulunkulu ohlalise khona igama lakhe awise phansi onke amakhosi nabantu abayakwelula izandla zabo ukuba baguqule lokho , bachithe le ndlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema . Mina Dariyu ngikhiphe isimemezelo ; masenziwe ngaso sonke isineke.

bagubha umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngokuthokoza, ngokuba uJehova wayebathokozisile, waguqulela inhliziyo yenkosi yase-Asiriya kubo ukuba kuqiniswe izandla zabo emsebenzini wendlu kaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

ngalinganisela ezandleni zabo amatalenta angamakhulu a yisithupha namashumi ayisihlanu esiliva , namatalenta ayikhulu ayizitsha zesiliva , namatalenta ayikhulu egolide,

Kwathi sekuphelile lokho , izikhulu zasondela kimi , zathi: Abantu bakwa- Israyeli nabapristi namaLevi abazahlukanisanga nabantu bezizwe nezinengiso zabo, ezamaKhanani, namaHeti, namaPherizi, namaJebusi, nama-Amoni, nabakwaMowabi, nabaseGibithe, nama-Amori.

oyale ngayo ngezandla zezinceku zakho abaprofethi ngokuthi : Izwe eniya kulo ukulidla liyizwe elingcolileyo ngenxa yokungcola kwabantu bezizwe ngezinengiso zabo eziligcwalisile ngokonakalisa kwabo , kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kufike ekugcineni.

Kepha bayakundizela ehlombe lamaFilisti ngasentshonalanga , baphange kanyekanye abantu basempumalanga , belulele izandla zabo ngaku -Edomi noMowabi, abakwa-Amoni babalalele.

Ngiyakulijezisa izwe ngobubi balo , nababi ngezono zabo , ngenze ukuba kuphele ukuzidla kwabaziqhenyayo , ngithobise ukuziphakamisa kwabacindezeli.

Izingane zabo ziyakuchotshozwa emehlweni abo , izindlu zabo ziphangwe, omkabo baphoqwe.

Iminsalo iyakuwisa phansi izinsizwa zabo ; abayikuhawukela isithelo esisesizalweni, amehlo abo angabi nasihe kubantwana.

Abantu bayakubathatha , babayise ezindaweni zabo ; indlu yakwa-Israyeli iyakubenza ifa ezweni likaJehova , babe yiz inceku nezincekukazi , babathumbe labo abakade bethunjiwe yibo , babuse phezu kwabacindezeli babo.

Ezitaladini zabo bayabhinca indwangu yamasaka , nasophahleni lwabo nasezigcawini zabo bayaklewula bonke, bamululeka izinyembezi.

Abayikubheka ama -altare abo , umsebenzi wezandla zabo , bangabuki okwenziwe yiminwe yabo, o-Ashera nama-altare empepho.

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

Kepha abafiley o bakho bayakubuye baphile , izidumbu zabo zivuke . Phaphamani, nijabule nina enihlala othulini , ngokuba amazolo akho angamazolo okukhanya, nomhlaba uyakubakhipha abafileyo.

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

Ngalolo suku abantu bayakulahla kuw o amavukuzi nakuwo amalulwan e izithombe zabo zesiliv a nezithombe zabo zegolide , abazenzele zona ukuba bakhuleke kuzo,

Uyakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe , anqume phakathi kwabantu abaningi ; bayakukhanda izinkemba zabo zibe ngamakhuba , nemikhonto yabo ibe ngocelemba; isizwe asiyikuphakamisela isizwe inkemba , zingabe zisafunda ukulwa.

Izwe lakubo ligcwele futhi nezithombe ; bakhuleka kokwenziwe yizandla zabo nakwekwenzileyo iminwe yabo.

Ababuleweyo bazo balahliwe , nokunuka kuyenyuka ezidunjini zabo ; izintaba zincibilika ngegazi labo.

Base befika u -Eliyakimi indodana kaHilikiya owayephezu kwendlu , noShebina umbhali , noJowa indodana ka-Asafa, umabhalana, kuHezekiya, izingubo zabo ziklebhukile, bamlandisa amazwi kaRabi Shake.

Yishoni kolungileyo ukuthi kuyakuba kuhle kuye , ngokuba bayakudla izithelo zezenzo zabo.

UJehova uyakungena ekwahluleleni namalunga abantu bakhe nezikhulu zabo ngokuthi: Yinina eniqedile isivini, impango yabampofu isezindlini zenu.

Ngiyakubanika abafana babe yizikhulu zabo, nezingane ziyakubabusa.

Ngokuba iJerusalema likhubekile, noJuda uwile, lokhu izilimi zabo nezenzo zabo ziphambene noJehova ukucunula amehlo enkazimulo yakhe.

Ukukhetha kwabo ubuso kuyafakaza ngabo ; benza izono zabo obala njengeSodoma, abazifihli. Maye kuyo imiphefumulo yabo ! Ngokuba bazenzele okubi.

Bheka, bayize bonke; imisebenzi yabo ayiyinto yalutho, nezithombe zabo ezibunjiweyo zingumoya nokuyize.

Abazi, abaqondi, ngokuba unamekile amehlo abo ukuze bangaboni , nezinhliziyo zabo ukuze bangaqondi.

Abenza isithombe esibaziweyo bayize bonke ; izinto zabo ezithandekayo aziyikusiza; ofakazi babo ababoni, futhi abazi; bayakujabhiswa.

Buthanani nize , nisondelane ndawony e nina bakhululekileyo bezizwe ; abawuthwala umuthi wezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo abanakwazi , bakhuleka kunkulunkulu ongenakusindisa.

UBeli uyaguqa , uNebo uyakhothama; izithombe zabo zingezezilwane nezezinkomo; enibathweleyo bangumthwalo , banzima ezilwaneni eziyethileyo.

Ngilaleleni nina enazi ukulunga, abantu abamthetho wami usezinhliziyweni zabo; ningesabi ukusolwa ngabantu, ningapheli amandla ngezithuko zabo.

Ngokuhlupheka komphefumulo way o iyakukubona, yaneliswe. Ngokwazi kwayo inceku yami, elungileyo, iyakulungisisa abaningi, ithwale izono zabo.

ngenxa yakho konke okubi kwabantwana bakwa -Israyeli nabantwana bakwaJuda abakwenzileyo ukuba bangicunule , bona namakhosi abo , nezikhulu zabo , nabapristi babo , nabaprofethi babo , namadoda akwaJuda , nabakhileyo eJerusalema.

Kepha bazibeka izinengiso zabo endlini ebizwa ngegama lami ukuba bayingcolise.

Ngiyakwenza nabo isivumelwano esiphakade , ukuze ngingabuyi ekubalandeleni, ngibenzele okuhle, ngibeke ezinhliziyweni zabo ukungesaba, ukuze bangasuki kimi.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Kuyakubuye kube khona kule ndawo echithekileyo, engenamuntu nazilwane , nakuyo yonke imizi yayo ikhaya labelusi abenza ukuba izimvu zabo zibuthise.

Ngiyakubahlambulula kubo bonke ububi babo abone ngabo kimi , ngithethelele zonke izono zabo abone ngazo kimi nabaphambuke kimi ngazo.

yebo, ngiyakubanikela esandleni sezitha zabo nasesandleni sabafuna ukuphila kwabo , izidumbu zabo zibe ngukudla kwezinyoni zezulu nokwezilwane zomhlaba.

USedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, nezikhulu zakhe, ngiyakubanikela esandleni sezitha zabo , nasesandleni sabafuna ukuphila kwabo , nasesandleni sempi yenkosi yaseBabele, asebenyukile kini.

Hamba wena , ufunde emqulwini owulobileyo , uthathe emlonyeni wami , amazwi kaJehova ezindl ebeni zabantu endlini kaJehova ngosuku lokuzila ukudla, uwafunde nasezindlebeni zabo bonke abakwaJuda abavela emizini yakubo.

UBosheti uqedile umshikashika wawobaba kwasebusheni bethu , izimvu zabo, nezinkomo zabo, namadodana abo, namadodakazi abo.

kwafika amadoda angamashumi ayisis hiyagalombili evela eShekemi , naseShilo, naseSamariya, izilevu zawo ziphuculiwe nezingubo ziklejuliwe , bezisikile, bephethe iminikelo yempuphu nempepho ezandleni zabo ukuba bakulethe endlini kaJehova.

Kepha abalalelanga, ababekanga izindlebe zabo ukuba babuye ebubini babo, bangashiseli abanye onkulunkulu impepho.

Ngomsindo woku dubhuza kwezinselo zamahhashi akhe anamandla , nangokuduma kwezinqola zakhe , nangodumo lwamasondo akh e oyise ababheki emuva kubantwana ngenxa yobuthakathaka bezandla zabo

Amatende abo nemihlambi yabo niyakukuthatha , bazithuthele izilenge zabo, nazo zonke izimpahla zabo , namakamela abo, bamemeze kubo, bathi: Luvalo nxazonke.

Bonke abantu bayiziphukuphuku , abanakwazi, bonke abakhandi bajabhiswa nezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo , ngokuba izithombe zabo ezibunjiweyo zingamanga, nomoya awukho kuzo.

Futhi abasho ezinhliziyweni zabo ukuthi: Ake sesabe uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu onika imvula eyokuqala neyamuva ngesikhathi sayo , asigcinele amasonto anqunyiweyo akuvuna.

Njengendlwana yezi nyoni igcwele zona , kanjalo izindlu zabo zigcwele inkohliso; ngalokho bakhulile, bacebile.

Ngalokho ingonyama yasehlathini iyakubashaya, babhujiswe yimpisi yasehlane, ingwe iyiqamekele imizi yabo , badatshulwe bonke abaphuma kuyo, ngokuba iziphambeko zabo ziningi, nokuhlehla kwabo kwandile.

Ngiyakukhuluma kubani , ngifakaze ukuba bezwe , na? Bheka, izindlebe zabo azisokile, abanakulalela; bheka, izwi likaNkulunkulu seliyihlazo kubo , abathokozi ngalo.

Izindlu zabo ziyakunikelwa kwabanye , amasimu abo nawomkabo kanyekanye, ngokuba ngiyakwelulela isandla sam i kwabakhileyo ezweni , usho uJehova.

Kepha abalalelanga , ababekanga izindlebe zabo , kepha bahamba ngamacebo abo nangenkani yezinhliziyo zabo ezimbi ; bahlehla, abayanga phambili.

Nokho abangilal elanga, ababekanga izindlebe zabo , kepha benza lukhuni izintamo zabo; benza kabi kunawoyise.

Ngokuba aban twana bakwaJuda benzile okubi emehlweni ami , usho uJehova; bazibekile izinengiso zabo endlini ebizwe ngegama lami zokuba bayingcolise.

Bheka, izwi lokukhala kwendodakazi yabantu bam i livela ezweni elikude , lithi: Akakho uJehova eSiyoni na ? Ayikho inkosi yalo kulo na ? Bangicunuleleni ngezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo nangokuyize kwabezizwe na?

kepha belandela inkani yezinhliziyo zabo nawoBali abakufundiswa ngoyise.

Yilowo nalowo uyakh ohlisa umakhelwane wakhe , abakhulumi iqiniso ; bazifundisile izilimi zabo ukukhuluma amanga , bazikhathaza ngokwenza okubi.

Emcabangweni wohlezi kahle ingozi iyadeleleka ; kulungiselwe abazinyawo zabo zishelela.

Amatende abacindezelayo anokuthula ; abathukuthelisayo uNkulunkulu bayalondeka, abaletha unkulunkulu wabo ngezandla zabo.

Ngokuba uvalile izinhliziyo zabo zingaqondi ; ngalokho awuyikubaphakamisa.

Bakhipha izingane zabo njengomhlambi; abantwana babo bayagida.

Banokujabula kuni endl ini yabo emva kwabo , lapho umumo wezinyanga zabo usunqunyiwe, na?

Izindlu zabo zinokuthula , azinangebhe; uswazi lukaNkulunkulu aluphezu kwabo.

Kepha nguye owayegcwalisa izindlu zabo ngokuhle . Amasu ababi akude nami.

Ngokuba uthathe ngeze izibambiso kumfowenu , wahlubula abampofu izingubo zabo.

Banejubane ebusweni bamanzi ; izabelo zabo ziqalekisiwe emhlabeni ; abasayikuphendukela endleleni yezivini.

UNkulunkulu uyamnika ukuba alondeke , asekelwe; kepha amehlo akhe aphezu kwezindlela zabo.

izwi labakhulu lathuliswa; izilimi zabo zanamathela olwangeni lwabo.

Uma ngangikhethile izindlela zabo , ngangiyakuhlala emqoka , ngahlalisa okwenkosi empini, njengoduduza abalilayo.

Yebo, namandla ezandla zabo angangisiza kanjani , abantu abaphelile iziphika, na?

Uyaphahlaza abanamandla , kungahlolwanga, amise abanye ezikhundleni zabo.

Uyavulela izindlebe zabo ukulaywa, asho ukuba babuye ebubini.

Ungafisi ubusuku, lapho abantu beyakususwa ezindaweni zabo.

uyababonisa izenzo zabo neziphambeko zabo zokuthi baziphakamisile.

Bheka bonke abaziphakamisayo , ubehlise phansi , unyathele ababi ezindaweni zabo.

kakhulu kangakanani abahlezi ezindlini zodaka , abazisekelo zabo zisothulini, abachotshozwa njengenundu.

Uyachitha amacebo abanobuqili , ukuze izandla zabo zi ngabi nakufeza umgomo wabo.

bona abayikukufundisa yini, bakutshele, bakhiphe amazwi ezinhliziyweni zabo, na?

Zinjalo izindlela zabo bonke abakhohlwa uNkulunkulu : ithemba longenaNkulunkulu liyakuchitheka;

Uma abantwana bakho bonile kuye, yena wabanikela emandleni ezono zabo,

Lapho uNkulunkulu esebona izenzo zabo ukuthi babuya endleleni yabo embi, uNkulunkulu wazisola ngokubi owayeshilo ukuthi uyakukwenza kubo , akakwenzanga.

Lase lima ilanga , nenyanga yahlala , abantu baze baziphindisela ezitheni zabo. Akulotshiwe yini lokho eNcwadini Yolungileyo na ? Ilanga lema phakathi nomkhathi, alisheshanga ukushona kungathi usuku lonke.

Ngokuba kwavela kuJehova ukwenza lukhuni izinhliziyo zabo ukuba bahlangabezane no -Israyeli ngokulwa , ukuze abaqothule , angabahawukeli, kepha abachithe, njengalokho uJehova ebemyalile uMose.

Wathatha-ke uJoshuwa izwe lonke njengakho konke uJehova abekukhulumile kuMose ; uJoshuwa walinika u -Israyeli libe yifa lakhe ngokwezabelo zabo nezizwe zabo. Izwe lase liphumula ekulweni.

UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa : Ungesabi ngenxa yabo , ngokuba kusasa ngalesi sikhathi ngizakubanikela bonke bebulewe ngaphambi kuka -Israyeli; wena uyakunquma amahhashi abo imisipha, uzishise izinqola zabo ngomlilo.

UJoshuwa wenza kubo njengokumyala kukaJehova : wanquma amahhashi abo imisipha, wazishisa izinqola zabo ngomlilo.

Lawa angamakhosi ezwe anqotshwa nguJoshuwa nangabantwana bakwa- Israyeli ngaphesheya kweJordani ngasentshonal anga, kusukela eBali Gadi esigodini saseLebanoni kuze kufike entabeni yaseHalaki eyenyukela eSeyiri , uJoshuwa walinika izizwe zakwa-Israyeli libe yifa ngokwezabelo zabo

UJehova wabanika ukuphumula nxazonke njengakho konke ayekufungile koyise; kwakungekho muntu kuzo zonke izitha zabo owema phambi kwabo ; uJehova wanikela zonke izitha zabo esandleni sabo.

Kwathi emva kwezinsuku eziningi , lapho uJeho va esephumuzile u -Israyeli ezitheni zabo zonke nxazonke, uJoshuwa esemdala eneminyaka eminingi,

Kwathi onke amakhosi ama -Amori ayengaphesheya kweJordani ngasentshonalanga, nawo onke amakhosi amaKhanani ayengaselwandle esezwa ukuthi uJehova womise amanzi aseJordani phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli saze sawela , izinhliziyo zabo zaphela amandla , kungabe kusaba khona sibindi ngenxa yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Kwathi sebeqedile ukusoka abantu bonke , bahlala ezindaweni zabo ekamu , baze baphola.

Ngalokho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli abanakuma phambi kwezitha zabo , bayafulathela izitha zabo , ngokuba sebeqalekisiwe; angisayikuba nani, uma ningachithi okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwenu.

O Nkosi, ngiyakuthini, lapha abakwa-Israyeli sebefulathele izitha zabo na?

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.

nabo benza ubuqili , bahamba bazenzisa kwangathi bayizithunywa , babeka amasaka agugileyo ezimbongolweni zabo , nezimvaba zewayini ezigugileyo neziklebhukileyo, ebesezithungiwe,

nezicathulo ezigugileyo eziciciyelweyo zisezinyaweni zabo , bembethe nezingubo ezigugileyo; isinkwa sonke somphako wabo sasomile, sikhuntile.

Bagijima njengamaqhawe , bakhwela ezingangeni njengamadoda empi ; bahamba, kube yilowo nalowo ngendlela yakhe , abaphambanisi izindlela zabo.

Bonke abathwala utho lwezidumbu zazo bayakuhlanza izingubo zabo , babe ngabangcolile kuze kuhlwe.

enzele indawo engcwele ukubuyisana ngenxa yokungcola kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli nangenxa yeziphambeko zabo ezonweni zabo zonke ; akenzele njalo netende lokuhlangana elihlezi nabo phakathi kokungcola kwabo.

u-Aroni abeke izandla zakhe zombili enhloko yempongo ezwayo , avume phezu kwayo bonke ububi babantwana bakwa -Israyeli neziphambeko ezonweni zabo zonke , akubeke enhloko yempongo , ayithume ngesandla somuntu olungiselwe lokhu, iye ehlane,

Lokho kuyakuba yisimiso esiphakade kini ukwenzela abantwana bakwa - Israyeli ukubuyisana ngenxa yezono zabo zonke kanye ngomnyaka. Wenza-ke njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.

Abasayikuhlabela amademoni imihlatshelo yabo abaye kuwo ukuphinga . Lokho kuyakuba yisimiso esiphakade kubo ezizukulwaneni zabo.

bangabethwesi ububi obutholisa icala , lapho bedla izinto zabo ezingcwele ; ngokuba nginguJehova obangcwelisayo. Imithetho yemihlatshelo

Mkhiphele ngaphandle kwekamu lowo othukile; bonke abamuzwa mababeke izandla zabo ekhanda lakhe , inhlangano yonke imkhande ngamatshe.

NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu owanikhipha ezweni laseGibithe ukuba ningabi yizigqila zabo; ngaphulile izikeyi zejoka lenu, ngenza ukuba nihambe niluleme. Ukusongelwa kwabeqayo umthetho

Abaseleyo bakini ngiyakubehlisela itwetwe ezinhliziyweni zabo emazweni ezitha zabo ; ubuhashahasha beqabunga elinyakaziswayo buyakubaxosha , babaleke njengalokhu umuntu ebalekela inkemba , bawe bengaxoshwa muntu.

Bayakuvuma ububi babo nobub i bawoyise ngeziphambeko zabo abaphambeka ngazo kimi, nokuthi njengokuba bahamba bephambene nami,

nami ngahamba ngiphambene nabo, ngabayisa ezweni lezitha zabo; uma-ke izinhliziyo zabo ezingasokile zithobeka, besamukela isijeziso sobubi babo,

Kepha uma kunjalo , sebekhona ezweni lezitha zabo , angiyikubalahla, nginganengwa yibo , ukuze ngibaqothule , ngisaphule isivumelwano sami nabo, ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo;

ayala ngakho uJehova ukuba bakuphiwe ngabantwana bakwa-Israyeli mhla ebagcoba, kube yisimiso esiphakade ezizukulwaneni zabo.

Waletha nenkunzi yomnikelo wesono ; u-Aroni namadodana akhe babeka izandla zabo enhloko yenkunzi yomnikelo wesono.

Wayeseletha inqama yomnikelo wokushiswa ; u-Aroni namadodana akhe babeka izandla zabo enhloko yenqama.

Waletha nenye inqama , inqama yokwahlukaniselwa; u-Aroni namadodana akhe babeka izandla zabo enhloko yenqama.

UMose wayesekuthatha ezandleni zabo , wakushisa e -altare emnikelweni wokushiswa; kwakungokokwahlukaniselwa, kwaba yiphunga elimnandi , umnikelo womlilo kuJehova.

Wo! kwabaceba ububi, benze okubi emibhedeni yabo! Ekukhanyeni kokusa bayakwenza, ngokuba kusemandleni ezandla zabo.

Niyaxosha abesifazane babantu bami ezindlini zokuthokoza kwabo , nisusa ezinganeni zabo ubukhosi bami kuze kube phakade.

Khona bayakukhala kuJehova , kepha akayikubaphendula; uyakusitheza ubuso bakhe kubo ngaleso sikhathi ngenxa yokwenza kwabo izenzo zabo zibe zimbi.

Kepha izwe liyakuba yincithakalo ngenxa yabakhileyo kulo ngezenzo zabo.

Abezizwe bayakubona , babe namahloni ngamandla abo onke , babeke isandla sabo emlonyeni wabo, izindlebe zabo zibe yizithulu.

Uyakubuye asibekezelele , anyathele phansi ububi bethu ; yebo, uyakuphonsa zonke izono zabo ekujuleni kolwandle.

Izandla zabo ziphezu kokubi ukukuthuthukisa; isikhulu sinesicelo , umahluleli ubhe ka umvuzo ; omkhulu ukhuluma ngesifiso somphefumulo wakhe; bayakwalukanisa.

ngabamahhashi abasukelayo , nenkemba enjengelangabi , nomkhonto onyazimayo, abaningi ababuleweyo nenqwaba yezidumbu , kungekho ukuphela kwezidikadika; bakhubeka ngezidikadika zabo,

Ngase ngiphikisana nababusi , ngathi: Ishiyelweni indlu kaNkulunkulu na ? Ngababutha, ngababeka ezindaweni zabo.

Ngabatshela ngesandla sikaNkulunkulu wami esasisihle phezu kwami , nangamazwi enkosi eyayiwakhulume kimi. Bathi: Masisuke sakhe, beqinisela izandla zabo lowo msebenzi.

Eceleni kwabo kwalungisa abaseThekhowa , kepha abakhulu babo abafakanga izintamo zabo emsebenzini wenkosi yabo.

Ngase ngimisa ngenzansi ezindaweni ezisemva kogange nakwezisobala abantu ngemindeni yabo, benezinkemba zabo, nemikhonto yabo, neminsalo yabo.

Abavusayo ugange nabathwalayo imithwalo bazithwesa benza umsebenzi ngesinye isandla, nangesinye baphatha izikhali zabo;

nabakhi bonke babe nenkemba ibhincwe ezinkalweni zabo , bakha kanjalo. Owabetha icilongo wayengaseceleni kwami.

Ake nibuyisele namhlanje amasimu abo , nezivini zabo, neminqumo yabo, nezindlu zabo , nenxenye yekhulu yemali , neyamabele, neyewayini, neyamafutha enikubiza kubo kube yinzalo.

Ngavuthulula ingubo yami , ngathi: UNkulunkulu makavuthulule kanjalo bonke abantu abangagcini leli zwi ezindlini zabo nasemfuyweni yabo ; mabavuthululwe kanjalo , babe yize . Lonke ibandla lathi : Amen, ladumisa uJehova. Abantu base benza njengalelo zwi.

Ngakhuleka ngathi: Khumbula, Nkulunkulu wami, oThobiya noSanibalati ngalezo zenzo zabo , nomprofethikazi uNohadiya , nabanye abaprofethi , ababengesabisa. Ukuphela kogange

Ngokuba bonke babesethusa bethi: Izandla zabo ziyakudangala emsebenzini ukuba ungenziwa . Ngase ngikhuleka ngathi : Kepha manje , Nkosi, qinisa izandla zami.

ngaphandle kwezinceku zabo nezi ncekukazi zabo ezaziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu amathathu namashumi amathathu nesikhombisa; babe nabahlabeleli besilisa nabesifazane abangamakhulu amabili namashumi amane nanhlanu.

U-Ezra wambonga uJehova uNkulunkulu omkhulu . Bonke abantu baphendula bathi : Amen, Amen, bephakamisa izandla zabo ; bakhothama, bakhuleka kuJehova, ubuso babo bubheke phansi.

NoJeshuwa, noBani, noSherebiya, noJamini, no-Akubi, noShabethayi, noHodiya, noMahaseya, noKelitha, no-Azariya, noJozabadi, noHanani, noPhelaya, namaLevi bafundisa abantu umthetho , abantu besezindaweni zabo.

Kepha bona nawoyise baqholosha , benza lukhuni izintamo zabo , kabalalelanga imiyalo yakho,

benqaba ukulalela , abakhumbulanga izimangaliso zakho owazenza phakathi kwabo , kepha benza lukhuni izi ntamo zabo , nangokuhlubuka kwabo bamisa induna ukuba babuyele ebugqileni babo ; kodwa wena unguNkulunkulu othethelelayo , onomusa nesihe ; wephuza u kuthukuthela, ugcwele isihawu; kawubashiyanga.

Wabondla iminyaka engamashumi amane ehlane , kabaswelanga lutho ; izingubo zabo aziguganga, nezinyawo azivuvukalanga.

Abantwana bangena -ke, balidla izwe , wahlula phambi kwabo abakhe ezweni, amaKhanani, wabanikela ezandleni zabo , kanye namakhosi abo , nabantu bezwe, ukuba benze kubo njengokuthanda kwabo.

Wawusubanikela esandleni sezitha zabo ezabahlupha ; ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka kwabo sebekhala kuwe, wena wabezwa usezulwini, nangomusa wakho omkhulu wabanika abasindisi ababasindisa esandleni sezitha zabo.

Kepha sebephumulile , babuye benza okubi ebusweni bakho ; wawusubashiya esandleni sezitha zabo , zaze zabusa phezu kwabo ; kodwa lapho bebuye bekhala kuwe , wena wabezwa usezulwini , wabophula kaningi ngomusa wakho omkhulu,

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose , wathi: Ngibuthele amadoda angamashumi ayisikhombisa amalunga akwa-Israyeli, owaziyo ukuthi angamalunga abantu nezinduna zabo, uwalethe etendeni lokuhlangana ukuba eme khona nawe.

UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni noKalebi indo dana kaJefune ababephakathi kwabahlola izwe baklebhula izingubo zabo,

Yisho kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli, usho kubo ukuba baze nzele insephe emiphethweni yezingubo zabo ezizukulwaneni zabo , futhi ukuba babeke igoda eliluhlaza ensepheni yemiphetho yonke;

Kepha bala ukulalela , baphekula ihlombe, benza izindlebe zabo zaba buthuntu ukuba bangezwa.

Benza izi nhliziyo zabo zaba yidayimani , funa bezwe umthetho namazwi ayewathume uJehova Sebawoti ngoMoya wakhe ngesandla sabaprofethi bokuqala; ngalokho kwavela intukuthelo enkulu ivela kuJehova Sebawoti.

Ngiyakukhipha igazi labo emlonyeni wabo , nezinengiso zabo phakathi kwamazinyo abo , nabo uqobo babe yinsali kuNkulunkulu wethu , babe ngababusi kwaJuda nase-Ekroni njengamaJebusi.

Kuyakuthi ngaleso sikhathi ngicwaninge iJerusalema ngezibani , ngihambele abantu abajiyile enhleseni yabo , abathi e zinhliziyweni zabo : UJehova akenzi okuhle, akenzi nokubi.

Ingcebo yabo iyakuba yimpango , nezindlu zabo incithakalo ; bayakwakha izindlu, kepha abayikuhlala kuzo , batshale izivini , bangaliphuzi kodwa iwayini lazo.

Wenzile konke kube kuhle esikhathini sakho , ubekile nokuphakade ezinhliziyweni zabo ; nokho umuntu ange fumane umsebenzi awenzile uNkulunkulu kwasekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni.

Futhi bonke abantu uNkulunkulu abaphe ingcebo nemfuyo , abanike futhi namandla okud la kukho ukuba bathathe izabelo zabo , bathokoze ngomshikashika wabo lokho kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu.

Kubi lokhu kukho konke okwenziwa phansi kwelanga ukuthi bonke behlelwa yinto inye ; ngalokho izinhliziyo zamadodana abantu zigcwele ububi, nobuhlanya busezinhliziyweni zabo besekhona , andukuba baye kwabafileyo.
