kusukela emihl eni engayaleza ngayo abahluleli ukuba babe phezu kwabantu bami u -Israyeli; ngiyakunqoba zonke izitha zakho . Futhi ngiyakutshela ukuthi uJehova uyakukwakhela indlu.

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

Wamisa abahluleli ezweni emizini yonke ebiyelweyo yakwaJuda , imizi ngemizi, wathi kubahluleli:

kusukela osukwini engayaleza ngalo abahluleli ukuba babe phezu kwabantu bami u -Israyeli, ngikuphumuze ezitheni zakho zonke . Futhi uJehova uyakutshela ukuthi uJehova uyakukwenzela wena indlu.

UJehova wavusa abahluleli ababasindisa esandleni sababaphangayo.

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

Abahluleli babo bayakuphonswa eweni ; bayakuzwa ukuthi amazwi ami amnandi.

Izikhulu zibusa ngami, namakhosana, bonke abahluleli bomhlaba.

kwadlula kungathi iminyaka engamakhulu amane namashumi ayisihlanu . Emva kwalokho wabanika abahluleli kwaze kwaba nguSamuweli umprofethi.

UJetiro umukhwe kaMose wamthathela uNkulunkulu umnikelo wokushiswa nemihlatshelo; weza u -Aroni kanye nawo onke amalunga akwa -Israyeli ukuyokudla nomukhwe kaMose phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Abahluleli bamiswa kwa-Israyeli

Wena-ke, Ezra, ngokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu wakho okusesandleni sakho, misa abahluleli nabaholi abayakwahlulela bonke abantu abangaphesheya koMfula , bonke abazi imithetho ka Nkulunkulu wakho ; nongayaziyo nimfundise.

Izikhulu zakho ziyizihlubuki nabangane bamasela; bonke bathanda izipho, balandela imivuzo; abahluleli izintandane, nendaba yomfelokazi ayifinyeleli kubo.

ngibuyisele abahluleli bakho nje ngakuqala, nabeluleki bakho njengasekuqaleni, andukuba ubizwe ngokuthi uMuzi Wokulunga , uMuzi Othembekileyo.

amaqhawe namadoda empi, abahluleli nabaprofethi, ababhuli namalunga,

Umnonjana womlilo wavela , waphuma phambi kwakhe ; izinkulungwane zenkulungwane zazimkhonza, nezinkulungwane eziyishumi zezinkulungwane eziyishumi zazimi ngaphambi kwakhe ; kwahlala abahluleli , izincwadi zavulwa.

Kepha abahluleli bayakuhlala, basuse ukubusa kwayo kudliwe, kuchithwe kuze kube sekupheleni.

yilowo nalowo uyakunika njengamandla akhe , ngokwesibusiso uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunike sona. Abahluleli

Uyakuzikhethela abahluleli nezinduna emasangweni akho onke uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika wona njengezizwe zakho ; bayakwahlulela abantu babo ngokwahlulela okulungileyo.

abahluleli baphenyisise; bheka, uma ufakazi engufakazi wamanga ofakazile amanga ngomfowabo,

Ngabayala abahluleli benu ngaleso sikhathi , ngathi: Zwanini okuphakathi kwabafowenu, nahlulele ngokulungileyo phakathi komuntu nomfowabo , nomfokazi okuye.

Bonke bashisa njengeziko, badla abahluleli babo; onke amakhosi abo ayawa, kungekho phakathi kwabo ongibizayo.

Umukisa abaluleki bephangiwe; uyenza abahluleli babe yiziwula.

UMose wathi kubo abahluleli bakwa -Israyeli: Bulalani, kube yilowo nalowo abantu bakhe abazihlanganisile noBali Peyori.

Kwathi emihleni abahlulela ngayo abahluleli kwaba khona indlala ezweni . Umuntu othile waseBetlehema Juda waya u kuyohlala ezweni lakwaMowabi, yena nomkakhe, namadodana akhe amabili.

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