wamyala ngale nto yokuthi akayikulandela abanye onkulunkulu ; kepha akagcinanga lokho uJehova amyale ngakho.

Kwathi uSolomoni esemdala , omkakhe bayiphambukisa inhliziyo yakhe ukuba ilandele abanye onkulunkulu ; inhliziyo yakhe yayingekho kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe ngokuphelelyo njengenhliziyo kaDavide uyise.

kodwa wenzile okubi kunabo bonke ababe phambi kwakho , wahamba wazenzela abanye onkulunkulu nezithombe ezibunjiweyo ukungivusa u kuba ngithukuthele, wangilahla nyovane,

Kodwa uma nibuya ekungilandeleni , nina noma abantwana benu , ningagcini imiyalo yami nezimiso zami engikubeke phambi kwenu , kepha nihambe nikhonze abanye onkulunkulu, nikhuleke kubo,

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.

KwabakwaGadi abanye bazahlukanisa baya kuDavide enqabeni ehlane , amaqhawe anamandla, abantu abazilungiselele ukulwa, abakwazi ukuphatha isihlangu nomkh onto, ababuso babo bafana nobuso bezingonyama , abanejubane njengezinsephe ezintabeni:

UDavide wathatha abanye abafazi eJerusalema , uDavide wazala amanye amadodana namadodakazi.

Umkakhe umJudakazi wazala uJeredi uyise kaGedori , noHebere uyise kaSoko, noJekuthiyeli uyise kaZanowa. Kepha abanye babe ngamadodana kaBithiya indodakazi kaFaro eyathathwa nguMeredi.

Abanye babo, amadodana kaSimeyoni, abantu abangamakhulu ayisihlanu, baya entabeni yaseSeyiri benezinduna zabo oPhelathiya , noNehariya, noRefaya, no-Uziyeli, amadodana ka-Ishi.

Abanye babephethe izitsha zenkonzo , ngokuba zangeniswa ngokubalwa , zakhishwa ngokubalwa.

Abanye kubo babemiselwe impahla , nezitsha zonke zendlu engcwele , nempuphu, newayini, namafutha, nenhlaka, namakha.

Abanye bamadodana abapristi bagxoba amakha aba ngamafutha.

Abanye abafowabo bamadodana amaKohati babephethe izinkwa zokubukwa ukuba bazilungise onke amasabatha.

Kepha abanye , abahlabeleli, izinhloko zezindlu zawoyise zamaLevi , babe semakamelweni bekhululekile kokunye , ngokuba babe semsebenzini wabo imini nobusuku.

unokukholwa nonembeza omuhle , okuthe abanye bekulahlile , bafelwa umkhumbi wokukholwa,

abathe abanye bephaphalazile kulokho , baphambukela ekukhulumeni okuyize,

Kepha uMoya usho ngokuchachileyo ukuthi ngezikhathi zokugcina abanye bayakuhlubuka ekukholweni , benaka omoya abadukisayo nezifundiso zamademoni,

Ngokuba nakalokhu abanye sebechezukele kuSathane.

Izono zabanye abantu zisobala, zibandulela ekwahlulelweni; kepha abanye ziyabalandela.

Ngokuba ukuthanda imali kuyimpande yakho ko nke okubi ; abanye ngokuyifisa badukelwa ukukholwa, bazigwaza ngeminjunju eminingi. Ukukhonza uNkulunkulu ngesiminya; ukufundisa izicebi nokuxwaya isifundiso samanga

okuthi abanye bekuvuma, baduka ekukholweni. Umusa mawube nani.

Futhi asingenzi ubufebe njengokuba abanye kubo benza ubufebe , bafa ngalusuku lunye abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nantathu.

kodwa ebandleni ngingathanda ukukhuluma amazwi ayisihlanu ngengqondo yami , ukuze ngifundise abanye , kunamazwi ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi ngezilimi.

Abaprofethi-ke, kukhulume ababili noma babe bathathu , abanye bakuhlole.

Ngokuba ningaprofetha nonke abanye ngabanye , ukuze bafunde bonke , balulekwe bonke;

Kepha-ke uma uKristu eshunyayelwa ukuthi uvusiwe kwabafileyo , basho kanjani abanye phakathi kwenu ukuthi akukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo na?

Phaphamani ngokufaneleyo, ningoni; ngokuba abanye kabamazi uNkulunkulu; ngisho lokhu ukuba nibe namahloni.

emva kwalokho wabonwa ngasikhathi sinye ngabazalw ane abadlula amakhulu ayisihlanu , iningi labo lisekhona nakalokhu , kepha abanye sebelele;

Kepha abanye bakhukhumele ngokungathi angiyikuza kini;

Babenjalo abanye kini , kepha senahlanzwa, senangcweliswa, senalungisiswa ngegama leNkosi uJesu Kristu nangoMoya kaNkulunkulu wethu. Umzimba wethu uyithempeli likaNkulunkulu

Kepha lokho kwazi akukho kubo bonke . Kodwa abanye, lokhu bejwayelene nezithombe kuze kube manje , bakudla njengokuhlatshelwe isithombe , nonembeza wabo obuthakathaka uyangcola.

Uma abanye behlanganyela lawo mandla phezu kwenu , kungebe yithi kakhulu na ? Nokho asilisebenzisanga lelo gunya , kepha sibekezela ngakho konke, ukuze singalithiyi ivangeli likaKristu.

kwababuthakathaka ngaba buthakathaka, ukuze ngizuze ababuthakathaka; sengaba yikho konke kubo bonke, ukuze ngakho konke ngisindise abanye.

Kodwa ngiyawutuba umzimba wami , ngiwenza isigqila , ukuba mina engishumayeza abanye ngingaliwa mina uqobo.

njengokuba nazi ukuthi saniphatha abanye ngabanye njengoyise ephatha abantwana bakhe,

USawule wazikhethela abantu abayizinkulungwane ezintathu kwa -Israyeli; izinkulungwane ezimbili zazinoSawule eMikimashi nasentabeni yaseBetlehema, nenkulungwane yayinoJonathani eGibeya lakwaBenjamini ; abanye abantu wabamukisa, kwaba yilowo nalowo etendeni lakhe.

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.

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.

Njengemisebenzi yonke abayenzileyo , kusukela osukwini engabakhuphula ngalo eGibithe kuze kube namuhla , bangishiya bekhonza abanye onkulunkulu, benze njalo nakuwe.

Kwathi ekuqaleni kokuhlala kwabo khona abamesabanga uJehova ; ngalokho uJehova wathuma izingonyama pha kathi kwabo, zabulala abanye kubo.

uJehova enza nabo isivumelwano, wabayala wathi: Aniyikwesaba abanye onkulunkulu, ningakhothameli kubo, ningabakhonzi, ningabahlabeli;

izimiso nezimemezelo nomthetho nemiyalo anilobela khona yikho eniyakukugcina ukuba nikwenze; ningesabi abanye onkulunkulu;

aniyikukhohlwa isivumelwano engisenzile nani , ningesabi abanye onkulunkulu;

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

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

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

Abanye abantu ababesele emzini , nabahlubukileyo behlubukela enkosini yaseBabele, nesixuku esiseleyo uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi wabathumba.

Kwafika abanye , bamtshela uJehoshafati , bathi: Kusondela kuwe isixuku esikhulu sivela phesheya kolwandle e-Aramu; bheka, sebeseHasasoni Thamari eliyi-Eni Gedi.

Nakuyo yonke imizi yakwaJuda , imizi ngemizi , wenza izindawo eziphakemeyo zokuba ashisele abanye onkulunkulu impepho , wamcunula uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

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

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

Kepha uma nibuya , nishiye izimiso zami nemiyalo yami engikubeke phambi kwakho, nihambe nikhonze abanye onkulunkulu, nikhuleke kubo,

INkosi ayilibali ngesithembiso sayo , njengalokhu abanye bathi kungukulibala, kepha iyanibekezelela, ingathandi ukuba kubhubhe namunye, kodwa ukuba bonke beze ekuphendukeni.

Besengishilo ngaphambili kulabo abakade bonile nakubo bonke abanye , nakalokhu ngisho ngaphambili -- ngisho manje ngingekho , njengalokho ngasho ngikhona ngokwesibili -- ukuthi nxa ngifika futhi, angiyikuyekethisa.

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

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

ngimfikele ekhathele , eyethile, ngimesabise; bonke abantu abanye bayakubaleka, ngibulale inkosi kuphela,

UJowabe indodana kaSeruya nezinceku zikaDavide baphuma bahlangana ngasechibini laseGibeyoni; bahlala phansi , abanye ngalapha kwechibi , abanye ngalapho kwechibi.

Nokho ningishiyile , nakhonza abanye onkulunkulu ; ngalokho angisayikunisindisa.

bamshiya uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise owabakhipha ezweni laseGibithe, balandela abanye onkulunkulu , onkulunkulu babantu ababebazungeza, babakhothamela, bamcunula uJehova.

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

Umumo wabaxhaphayo bebeka isandla emlonyeni wawungamadoda angamakhulu amathathu , kepha bonke abanye abantu baguqa ngamadolo ukuba baphuze amanzi.

Wayesethi uJehova kuGideyoni : Ngalawo madoda amakhulu amathathu axhaphayo ngizakunisi ndisa, ngibanikele abakwaMidiyani esandleni sakho ; bonke abanye abantu mabahambe, yilowo nalowo aye endaweni yakhe.

Abantu base bethatha umphako ngesandla sabo namacilongo abo ; bonke abanye abakwa-Israyeli wabathuma , kwabayilowo nalowo etendeni lakhe , wagcina lawo madoda amakhulu amathathu; ikamu lakwaMidiyani laliphansi kwakhe esigodini.

kuyakuthi ekuseni lisaphuma ilanga , uvuke, uhlasele umuzi; bheka, lapho yena nabantu abanye bephuma ukuba balwe nawe , wenze kubo njengokubona kwakho.

Abanye izinqola, abanye amahhashi, kepha thina sibonga igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.

Qha, uyakubona ukuthi abahlakaniphileyo bayaf a nokuthi isiwula kanye nesiphukuphuku ziyabhubha, imfuyo yabo bayishiyele abanye.

Abanye, abangabazayo, nibahawukele,

nibasindise ngokubahlwitha emlilweni , kepha abanye nibahawukele ngokwesaba, nizonde nengubo enindwe yinyama.

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

Ungesabi lokho ozakuhlupheka ngakho . Bheka, uSathane uzakuphonsa abanye kini etilongweni ukuba nilingwe , futhi niyakuhlupheka izinsuku eziyishumi. Thembeka kuze kube sekufeni, ngokunika umqhele wokuphila.

funa unike abanye udumo lwakho, naye ononya iminyaka yakho,

Kodwa kwakukhona abanye kubo, amadoda aseKhupro naseKhurene, abathi befika e-Antiyokiya, bakhuluma nakum aGreki, beshumayela ivangeli ngeNkosi uJesu.

Kepha isixuku somuzi sahlukana phakathi , abanye baba ngakubaJuda nabanye ngakubaphostoli.

Njengalokho sizwile ukuthi abanye abavela kithi banikhathazile ngamazwi, benyakazisa imiphefumulo esingabayalelanga khona,

Kepha abathile kuzo izazi zama-Epikhuru nezamaStoyiku baphikisana naye; abanye bathi : Leli p hoshophosho lithini na ? Abanye bathi : Kungathi ungomemezela onkulunkulu abangaziwayo , ngokuba wayeshumayela ivangeli ngoJesu nangokuvuka kwabafileyo.

Kwathi bezwa ngokuvuka kwabafileyo , abanye bahleka usulu , kepha abanye bathi: Siyakuphinda sikuzwe ngaleyo ndaba.

Base bevuma abanye kubo , bazihlanganisa noPawulu noSila, futhi nesixuku esikhulu samaGreki akholwayo , kanye nabesifazane abadumileyo abangeyingcosana.

Khona-ke abanye bamemeza okunye nabanye okunye ; ngokuba ibandla layaluza nje, nabaningi babengazi ukuthi babuthanele indabani.

kwahamba nathi abanye kubafundi baseKesariya, besiyisa kuMnasoni othile waseKhupro, umfundi omdala, ebesizakungenisa kwakhe.

Kepha abanye esixukwini bam emeza okunye, abanye okunye; yathi ukuba ingenakulazi iqiniso ngenxa yomsindo, yayala ukuba ayiswe ekamu.

nabaseleyo bafike , abanye ngamapulangwe , abanye ngezinye izinto zomkhumbi. Kanjalo-ke kwenzeka ukuba bonke baphumele emhlabathini besindile.

Abanye baneliswa ngokwakhulunywayo, abanye abakholwanga;

Kepha abanye bebabhuqa bathi: Bagcwele iwayini elimnandi. Intshumayelo kaPetru

ngangokuba bakhiphela phandle emigwaqweni abagulayo , bababeka emacansini nasezinhlakeni, kuze kuthi lapho eza uPetru, isithunzi nje sakhe sisithibeze abanye kubo.

Kwase kusuka abanye besinagoge elithiwa elabaLibertino , nabaseKhurene, nabase-Aleksandriya, nabavela eKhilikhiya nase -Asiya, baphikisana noStefanu;

Abesifazane bamukeliswa abafileyo babo bevusiwe ; abanye bahlushwa , kabavuma ukukhululwa, ukuze bathole ukuvuka okuhle;

abanye balingwa ngokujivazwa nokushaywa , yebo, nokuboshwa nokufakwa etilongweni;

Ningakhohlwa ukungenisa izihambi ngokuba ngalokho abanye bangenisa izingelosi bengazi.

Ngakho-ke lokhu kusasele uk uba abanye bangene kukho , nalabo abashunyayezwa kuqala ivangeli bengangenanga ngokungalaleli,

esasikade sihamba phakathi kwabo sonke ezinkanukweni zenyama yethu , senza intando yenyama neyengqondo ; ngemvelo sasingabantwana bolaka njengabo abanye.

Nguyena futhi owanika abanye ukuba babe ngabaphostoli , abanye abaprofethi, abanye abavangeli, abanye abelusi nabafundisi,

kwaze kwathi izibopho zami zabonakala enqabeni yonke nakubo bonke abanye ukuthi zingenxa kaKristu

Abanye kambe bashumayela uKristu ngomhawu nangombango kepha abanye ngenhliziyo enhle;

ningenzi lutho ngombango nangodumo lwezwe ; kepha ngokuthobeka nishaye sengathi abanye bakhulu kunani,

Ngokuba bengakafiki abanye ababevela kuJakobe , wayedla nabezizwe ; kepha kuthe ukuba kufike bona , wamonyuka, wazahlukanisa nabo , esaba abokusoka.

ukuba mhlawumbe ngingabavusela umhawu abenyama yami , ngisindise abanye kubo.

Kunjani, pho? Lokho u-Israyeli akufunayo akakufumananga, kepha abakhethiweyo bakufumana, abanye benziwa baba lukhuni,

Ngalokho kuyini umJuda adlula abanye ngakho na ? Kukho, ukusoka kunokusiza kuni na?

Kunjani pho ? Uma abanye bengakholw anga, ukungakholwa kwabo kuyakwenza ize ukukholeka kukaNkulunkulu na?

Kungabi ngukuthi , njengalokhu sihlanjalazwayo nanjengalokhu abanye bathi siyasho ukuthi asenze okubi , ukuze kuvele okuhle na ? Ukulahlwa kwabo kubafanele. AbaJuda banesono njengabanye

Abanye bathi: Lawo mazwi akusiwo awomuntu onedemoni; imbala idemoni lingavula amehlo ezimpumputhe na? UJesu unguMesiya

Kepha abanye kubo bathi : Lo owavula amehlo empumputhe wayengekwenze yini ukuba yena lo angafi na?

Kepha abanye babo baya kubaFarisi, babatshela abekwenzile uJesu.

Ngakho abantu ababemi bezwa bathi : Beliduma; abanye bathi : Ingelosi ikhulume kuye.

Kepha abanye bacabanga ukuthi , ngokuba uJuda ephethe isikhwama , uJesu uthi kuye : Thenga esikuswele emkhosin i, noma ukuthi kabele abampofu okuthile.

Ngakho abanye kubo abafundi bakhe base bekhuluma bodwa, bethi: Kuyini lokho akushoyo kithi ukuthi: Kusezakuba yisikhashana ningabe nisangibona , kubuye kube yisikhashana ningibone, nokuthi: Ngokuba ngiya kuBaba, na?

UJesu waphendula wathi: Uzisholo lokhu wena, noma kusho abanye kuwe ngami na?

Ngakho-ke abanye abafundi bathi kuye : Siyibonile iNkosi . Kepha wathi kubo: Uma ngingaboni ezandleni zayo inxeba lezipikili , ngifake umunwe wami enxebeni lezipikili , ngifake isandla sami ohlangothini lwayo , angisoze ngakholwa.

Kepha abanye abafundi beza ngesikebhe, ngokuba bebengekude nenhlabathi kepha kungathi izingalo ezingamakhulu amabili , bedonsa inetha linezinhlanzi.

Mina nganithumela ukuvuna lokho eningakusebenzanga; abanye basebenzile, nina-ke ningene emsebenzini wabo.

Kepha bakhona abanye phakathi kwenu abangakholwa . Ngokuba uJesu wazi kwasekuqaleni ukuba ngobani abangakholwa nokuba ngubani ozakumkhaphela.

Kwaba khona ukukhonona okukhulu ngaye phakathi kwezixuku . Abanye bathi: Muhle; abanye bathi: Qha, ngokuba udukisa abantu.

Base bethi abanye kwaba seJerusalema: Lo akusiye yini abafuna ukumbulala na?

Abanye besixuku sebezwa lawa mazwi bathi: Lo ungumprofethi isibili.

Abanye bathi : Lo unguKristu . Kepha abanye bathi : Kanti uKristu uvela eGalile na?

Abanye-ke kubo babethanda ukumbamba ; kepha akubangakho owambeka izandla. Izikhonzi zifuna ukumbamba uJesu

Ngakho abanye kubaFarisi bathi : Lona kaveli kuNkulunkulu , lokhu engagcini isabatha . Abanye bathi : Umuntu oyisoni angazenza kanjani izibonakaliso ezinje na? Kwaba khona ukwahlukana phakathi kwabo.

Abanye bathi: Nguyena, abanye bathi: Qha, kepha ufana naye ; yena wathi: Nginguye.

Emva kwalokho iNkosi yamisa abanye abangamashumi ayisikhombisa , yabathumela ngababili phambi kwayo emizini nasezindaweni zonke ebizakuya kuzo yona.

Kepha abanye kubo bathi : Ukhipha amademoni ngoBelzebule umbusi wamademoni.

Abanye bemlinga bafuna kuye isibonakaliso esivela ezulwini.

Khona abesehamba , azithathele abanye omoya abayisikhombisa ababi kunaye, bangene bahlale lapho, ukugcina kwalowo muntu kube kubi kunokwakuqala.

Ngenxa yalokho ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu kwathi : Ngiyakuthumela kubo abaprofethi nabaphostoli; abanye bayakubabulala, abanye babazingele,

Wayesekhuluma kwabathile ababezethemba ukuthi balungi le, bedelela abanye, ebalandisa lo mfanekiso ngokuthi:

Abanye babaFarisi besesixukwini bathi kuye : Mfundisi, bakhuze abafundi bakho.

Uzakuza, ababhubhise labo balimi , isivini asinike abanye . Bekuzwa bathi: Qha, makungabi njalo.

Yebo, niyakukhashelwa nangabazali , nabafowenu, nezihlobo, nabangane; abanye benu bayakubulawa yibo.

Besakhuluma abanye ngethempeli u kuthi lihlotshiswe ngamatshe amahle nangezipho, wathi kubo:

Abantu bema , bebukela; nababusi bamklolodela bathi : Wasindisa abanye; kazisindise yena, uma enguKristu okhethiweyo kaNkulunkulu.

Base bebuya ethuneni , babika konke lokho kwabayishumi nanye nakubo bonke abanye.

Wathi-ke: Niphiwe nina ukwazi izimfihlakalo zombuso kaNkulunkulu , kepha abanye bakuphiwa ngemifanekiso ukuba bebona bangaboni , bezwa bangaqondi.

Baphendula bathi: UJohane uMbhapathizi; kepha abanye bathi : Ngu-Eliya; abanye kodwa bathi: Kuvukile umprofethi othile wabadala.

Kepha nginitshela ngesiminya ukuthi bakhona abanye kwabemi lapha abangayikuzwa ngempela ukufa, baze babone umbuso kaNkulunkulu. Ukukhazimuliswa kukaJesu entabeni (Math. 17:1; Mark. 9:2)

Abanye kwababemi khona bathi kubo: Nenzani nilithukulula ithole na?

Abaningi bendlala izingubo zabo endleleni , abanye amahlamvu ababewagawule endle.

Khona abanye babaFarisi nabakaHerode bathunye lwa kuye ukuba bamhile ngezwi.

Uzakwenzani umninisivini na ? Uzakuza, ababhubhise labo balimi , isivini asinike abanye.

Kepha kwakukhona abanye abakhuluma bodwa ngokuthukuthela , bethi: Kwenzelweni lokho kuchithwa kwamafutha na?

Abanye base beqala ukumkhafulela ngamathe nokumgubuzela ubuso nokumdushuza, bathi kuye: Profetha. Nezikhonzi zamthatha zammukula. Ukuphika kukaPetru (Math. 26:69; Luk. 22:54; Joh. 18:17, 25)

Kanjalo nabapristi abakhulu bambhinqa bebodwa kanye nababhali , bathi: Wasindisa abanye, angezisindise yena.

Abanye kwababemi khona bekuzwa bathi: Bheka, ubiza u-Eliya.

Nabo bahamba babikela abanye; nalabo abaze bakholwa.

Abanye bangabahlwanyelwe emeveni; yibo abalizwile izwi,

Kodwa abanye bathi: Ngu-Eliya; abanye bathi: Ngumprofethi njengomunye wabaprofethi.

Sebebonile ukuthi abanye babafundi bakhe badla izinkwa ngezandla ezimbi okungukuthi ezingahlanjiwe --

Bamtshela bathi: UJohane uMbhapathizi; abanye bathi: Ngu-Eliya; abanye bathi: Ngomunye wabaprofethi.

Uma ngibamukisa , baye ekhaya bengadlanga , bayakuphela amandla endleleni, ngokuba abanye babo bavela kude.

Wayesethi kubo : Ngiqinisile ngithi kini : Bakhona abanye kwabemi lapha abangayikuzwa ngempela ukufa , baze babone umbuso kaNkulunkulu ufikile ngamandla. Ukukhazimuliswa kukaJesu entabeni (Math. 17:1; Luk. 9:28)

Kepha lesi sizukulwane ngiyakusifanisa nani na ? Sifana nabantwana abahlezi ezigcawini bememeza abanye bethi:

Bathi: Abanye basho uJohane uMbhapathizi; abanye basho u-Eliya; abanye basho uJeremiya noma omunye wabaprofethi.

Ngiqinisile ngithi kini : Bakhona abanye kwabemi lapha abangayikuzwa ngempela ukufa, baze bayibone iNdodana yomuntu iza embusweni wayo.

Waphuma futhi ngehora lesithathu , wabona abanye bemi esigcawini , bengenzi lutho;

Esephuma ngehora leshumi nanye wafumana abanye bemi , wathi kubo : Nimeleni lapha usuku lonke ningenzi lutho na?

Bathi kuye: Uzakubabhubhisa kabi labo ababi, isivini sakhe sinikwe abanye abalimi abayakumnika izithelo ngezikhathi zazo.

Iningi lesixuku lendlala izingubo zalo endleleni , kepha abanye bagawula amahlamvu emithini, bawendlala endleleni.

Ngakho-ke, bhekani, mina ngithuma kini abaprofethi , nabahlakaniphileyo, nababhali; abanye kubo niyakubabulala, nibabethele; abanye niyakubashaya emasinagogeni enu, nibaxoshe imizi ngemizi

kuzakubuthelwa phambi kwayo izizwe zonke , ibahlukanise abanye kwabanye, njengomalusi ahlukanisa izimvu nezimbuzi,

Base bemkhafulela ngamathe ebusweni , bamdushuza, kepha abanye bammukula,

Wasindisa abanye , angezisindise yena ; uyinkosi yakwa -Israyeli, akehle manje esiphambanweni, sikholwe nguye.

Abanye kwababemi khona bekuzwa bathi: Lo ubiza u-Eliya.

Kepha abanye bathi: Yeka, sibone uma u-Eliya eza ukumsindisa.

Besahamba, bheka, abanye kubalindi bafika emzini , babikela abapristi abakhulu konke okwenzekileyo.

sebembona bakhuleka kuye, kepha abanye bangabaza.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli benze njalo : abanye babutha okuningi abanye okuyingcosana.

Kodwa abamlalelanga uMose ; abanye kubo bashiya okunye kwaze kwasa , kwazala izimpethu, kwanuka, uMose waze wabathukuthelela.

Kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa kwaphuma abanye abantu ukuba bakubuthe, kepha kabakutholanga.

Ohlabela abanye onkulunkulu ngaphandle kukaJehova yedwa uyakubhujiswa nokubhujiswa.
