abezizwe uJehova ayeshilo ngabo kwabakwa-Israyeli ukuthi: Aniyikungena kubo, nabo bangangeni kini, ngokuba impela bayakuziphambukisa izinhliziyo zenu, zize zilandele onkulunkulu babo . Kulabo uSolomoni wanamathela ngothando.

Wabenzela kanjalo bonke omkakhe bezizwe abashisa impepho , bahlabela onkulunkulu babo.

Ngokuba uJehova uyakushaya u -Israyeli njengohlanga oluzanyazanyiswa emanzini, asiphule u -Israyeli kuleli zwe elihle alinika oyise, abahlakazele ngaphesheya koMfula, lokhu benzile o-Ashera babo, bathukuthelisa uJehova.

Abantu bonke sebekubonile lokho bawa ngobuso babo , bathi: UJehova nguye onguNkulunkulu; uJehova nguye onguNkulunkulu.

abantwana babo abasala ezweni emva kwabo , abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ababengenamandla okubaqeda , kubona uSolomoni wabiza izisebenzi eziyizigqila kuze kube namuhla.

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 wayesephakamisa amehlo akhe , wayibona ingelosi kaJehova imi emkhathini womhlaba nezu lu, inenkemba ehoshiweyo esandleni sayo , yelulelwe phezu kweJerusalema . UDavide namalunga bembethe izindwangu zamasaka bawa ngobuso babo.

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

Bona nabantw ana babo babephethe amasango endlu kaJehova , indlu yetende, belinda.

Kepha uma umfelokazi enabantwana noma enabazukulwane , labo-ke mabafunde kuqala ukuhlonipha indlu yakwabo , babuyisele okufaneleyo kubazali babo, ngokuba kuyabongeka lokho phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

Bonke abayizigqila phansi kwejoka mabathi abanumzane babo bafanele ukutuswa impela , ukuze igama likaNkulunkulu nesifundiso kungahlanjalazwa.

Ngokuba ukuhlakanipha kwaleli zwe kungubuwula kuNkulunkulu . Ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ubamba abahlakaniphileyo ebuqilini babo,

Ngalokho-ke vuselelanani, nakhane njengokuba futhi nikwenza. Mabazise abaholi babo, balulekane

Bamesaba uJehova , bakhonza nawonkulunkulu babo njengomthet ho wezizwe ababesuswe phakathi kwazo.

Zonke izinduna zempi , zona nabantu bazo , sezizwile ukuthi inkosi yaseBabele imenzile uGedaliya umbusi ezweni , zaya kuGedaliya eMispa : u- Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya, noJohanani indodana kaKhareya, noSeraya indodana kaThanihumeti waseNethofa , noJahazaniya indodana yomMahakha, bona nabantu babo.

UGedaliya wafunga kubo nakubantu babo , wathi kubo: Ningesabi izinceku zamaKaledi; hlalani ezweni , niyikhonze inkosi yaseBabele , kuyakuba kuhle kini.

Sebefike ekamu lika -Israyeli, abakwa-Israyeli basuka bashaya abakwaMowabi, baze babaleka ebusweni babo ; bangena ezweni labo bechitha abakwaMowabi.

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.

Ngalokho intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u -Amasiya, wathuma umprofethi kuye owathi kuye : Ufuneleni onkulunkulu babantu abangophulanga abantu babo esandleni sakho na?

Ngokuba oyihlo baphambukile , benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu , bamshiya, baphendula ubuso babo endl ini kaJehova , bamfulathela.

Wayelobe nencwadi yokumhlambalaza uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, wakhuluma okuphambene naye, wathi: Njengalokho onkulunkulu babezizwe bengabophulanga abantu babo esandleni sami , kanjalo uNkulunkulu kaHezekiya akayikubophula abantu bakhe esandleni sami.

abantwana babo abasala emva kwabo ezweni , abangaqedwanga ngabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, kubona uSolomoni wabiza izisebenzi kuze kube namuhla.

Kepha abasayikuqhubekela phambili ; ngokuba ubuwula babo buyakuba sobala kubo bonke, njengokuba kwaba njalo nobabo. Ukubambelela esifundisweni esilungileyo

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

Ngalokho ngithi manje : Angiyikubaxosha phambi kwenu , kepha bayakuba sezinhlangothini zenu, onkulunkulu babo babe lugibe kini.

Kaningi wabakhulula ; kepha bahlubuka ngecebo labo , bawiswa phansi ngobubi babo.

Wabatholisa ububele ebusweni babo bonke ababebathumbile.

Babe yizithutha ngenxa yeziphambeko zabo ; ngenxa yobubi babo babehlushwa.

Uyabadelela bonke abaduka ezimisweni zakho , ngokuba ubuqili babo buyize.

Uma abantwana bakho begcina isivumelwano sam i nobufakazi bami engiyakubafundisa bona , khona abantwana babo bayakuhlal a esihlalweni sakho kuze kube phakade.

Olungileyo makangishaye , kungumusa kimi ; angisole, kungamafutha ekhanda; ikhanda lami malingawenqabi , ngokuba nasebubini babo umkhuleko wami uyobe usekhona.

Abahluleli babo bayakuphonswa eweni ; bayakuzwa ukuthi amazwi ami amnandi.

babophe amakhosi abo ngamaketang a nabadumileyo babo ngezibopho zensimbi,

Ngokuba uyakubafulathelisa ; ngosinga lomnsalo wakho uyakukhomba ebusweni babo.

Ungangimukisi kanye nababi nabenza okub i abakhuluma ukuthula nabakhelwane babo, kanti kukhona okubi ezinhliziyweni zabo.

Babheka kuye phezulu, bakhanya; ubuso babo abusoze bajabha.

Le ndlela yabo ingubuwula babo , balandelwa ngabavumela umlomo wabo . Sela

Bayakuphunyuka yini ebubini babo na ? Diliza izizwe ngentukuthelo , Nkulunkulu.

Bachithekile abaqinile ngenhliziyo , balele ubuthongo babo; amaqhawe awafumanisanga izandla zawo.

intukuthelo kaNkulunkulu yabavukela , wabulala abakhulupheleyo babo , wawisa phansi izinsizwa zakwa-Israyeli.

Kepha yena enesihawu wathethelela ububi babo , akabhubhisanga; yebo, wabamba kaningi intukuthelo yakhe, akavusanga lonke ulaka lwakhe.

asinakukufihla kubantwana babo , izindumiso zikaJehova zis itshele kuso isizukulwane esizayo, namandla akhe nezimangaliso zakhe azenzileyo.

Ngokuba wamisa ubufakazi kwaJakobe , wabeka umthetho kwa -Israyeli, ayala ngawo obaba ukuba bafundise abantwana babo,

ukuze isizukulwane esilandelayo sazi , abantwana abayakuz alwa, bavuke, batshele abantwana babo,

Abapristi babo bawa ngenkemba; abafelokazi babo abaze balila.

Amakhosana abo wenze abe njen go-Orebi noZebi, nabakhulu babo bonke njengoZeba noSalimuna

Thela ubuso babo ngehlazo, baze bafune igama lakho, Jehova.

Uyaphindisela kubo ukushinga kwabo , abaqede ngobubi babo ; uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu uyakubaqeda.

Kuyakuthi sebebuqedile ubufakazi babo, isilo esiphuma kwalasha siyakulwa nabo, sibanqobe, sibabulale.

Nabo uqobo lwabo bamnqoba ngegazi leWundlu nangezwi lobufakazi babo, futhi abakuthandanga ukuphila kwabo kwaze kwaba sekufeni.

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

Base benikwa , kwaba yilowo nalowo ingubo ende emhlophe , kwashiwo kubo ukuba baphumule isikhashana, baze baphelele abayizinceku kanye nabo nabazalwane babo ababezakubulawa njengabo.

futhi ab aphendukanga ekubulaleni kwabo , nasekuthakatheni kwabo , nasebufebeni babo, nasekwebeni kwabo.

Ubuso babo sebumnyama kunelah le, abaziwa ezitaladini . Isikhumba sabo sinamathela emathanjeni abo, sishwabene, saba njengomuthi.

Obaba bona abasekho; thina sithwala ububi babo.

Imfuyo yesicebi ingumuzi waso onamandla; incithakalo yabampofu ingubumpofu babo.

Ngokuba abakhileyo eJerusalema nababusi babo abamazanga yena , namazwi abaprofethi afundwa amasaba tha ngamasabatha bawagcwalisa ngokumlahla;

Kwathi ukuba basukelwe yisidumo sabezizwe nabaJuda kanye nababusi babo sokubaphatha kabi nokubakhanda ngamatshe,

sebebikelwe ngawe ukuthi ufundisa bonke abaJuda abaphakathi kwabezizwe ukuhlubuka kuMose , uthi mabangasoki abantwana babo , bangahambi ngamasiko.

Kwathi ngangomuso kwabuthana eJerusalema ababusi namalunga nababhali babo,

ukuze bafundise abesifazane abasha ukuthanda amadoda abo , bathande nabantwana babo;

nezono zabo nobubi babo angisoze ngakukhumbula futhi.

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

Ngenxa yalokho uNkulunkulu wabanikela ekuhuhekeni okuyihla zo; ngokuba abesifazane babo baguqula ukwenza okwemvelo kwaba ngokuphambene nemvelo;

Kepha abanye babo baya kubaFarisi, babatshela abekwenzile uJesu.

Kepha eqonda ubuqili babo wathi kubo:

Bheka-ke, ababili babo babehamba ngalona lolo suk u, beya emzaneni othiwa i -Emawuse, ukude neJerusalema amastadiyu angamashumi ayisithupha.

Babaqhweba omana babo abakomunye umkhumbi ukuba beze , bababambise. Beza-ke, bayigcwalisa imikhumbi yomibili, yaze yathi ayizike.

Thokozani ngalolo suku , nigxume; ngokuba bhekani , umvuzo wenu mkhulu ezulwini; ngokuba oyise babo benze njalo kubaprofethi.

Maye kinina , nxa abantu bonke bekhuluma kahle ngani , ngokuba oyise babo benze njalo kubaprofethi bamanga!

Kepha wathi kuye : Yeka abafileyo bembele abafileyo babo , kodwa hamba wena, ushumayele umbuso kaNkulunkulu.

Khona umuntu uyakukhaphela umfowabo ekufeni noyise umntanakhe , yebo, abantwana bayakuvukela abazali babo, bababulale.

Ngokuba abaningi bafakaza amanga ngay e, kepha ubufakazi babo abuhlangananga.

Nakuba kunjalo ubufakazi babo abuhlangananga.

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

Kepha umuntu uyakukhaphela umfowabo ekufeni , noyise umntanakhe ; abantwana bayakuvukela abazali babo, bababulale.

Waphuma, wabona isixuku esikhulu ; waba nesihe ngaso , waphulukisa abagulayo babo.

Kuthe sebezwa lokho abafundi, bawa ngobuso babo, besaba kakhulu.

Bathuma kuye abafundi babo kanye nabakaHerode , bathi: Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi uqinisile , ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso ; awukhathali ngamuntu, ngokuba awubheki ubuso babantu.

Kepha uJesu ebazi ububi babo wathi: Bazenzisi, ningilingelani na?

Futhi nxa nizila ukudla , ninganyukumali njengabazenzisi ; ngokuba bona banyakamisa ubuso babo, ukuze babonakale kubantu ukuthi bazilile . Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewamukele umvuzo wabo.

ngokuba wayebafundisa njengonamandla, kungenjengababhali babo.

Kepha uJesu wathi kuye : Ngilandele; yeka abafileyo bembele abafileyo babo. Ukuthuliswa kwesivunguvungu (Mark. 4:35; Luk. 8:22)

Nokho mina ngachitha ama -Amori ebusweni babo , akuphakama kwawo kwakunjengokuphakama kwe misedari, ayenamandla njengama -oki; kepha ngachitha nokho izithelo zawo phezulu nezimpande zawo phansi.

Ngayibona iNkosi imi ngase -altare, yathi: Shaya izihloko zezinsika , ukuze imigulugulu izamazame , uzaphule phezu kwamakhanda abo bonke ; abaseleyo babo ngiyakubabulala ngenkemba; obalekayo kubo akayikubaleka, nophunyukayo kubo akayikuphunyuka.

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

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

Awuyikwenza sivumelwano nabo nawonkulunkulu babo.

Abayikuhlala ezweni lakini, funa bakwenze ukuba wone kimi, ngokuba uma ubakhonza onkulunkulu babo, kuyakuba lugibe kuwe.

Ubenzele namabhulukwe elineni ukuba kusitshekelwe inyama yobunqunu babo, aqale okhalweni, afike emathangeni;

Kwathi sekudlulile izinsuku eziningi , inkosi yaseGibithe yafa ; abakwa- Israyeli babubula ngenxa yobugqila , bakhala; ukukhala kwabo kw enyukela kuNkulunkulu ngobugqila babo.

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

funa wenze isivumelwano nabakhileyo ezweni , baye baphinge nawonkulunkulu babo, bahlabele onkulunkulu babo, omunye akumeme, udle umhlatshelo wakhe,

uthathele amadodana akho amadodakazi abo , amadodakazi abo aye aphinge nawonkulunkulu babo , enze ukuba amadodana akho aye aphinge nawonkulunkulu babo.

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

Base behlakazeka abantu ezweni lonke laseGibithe ukuyobutha izinhlanga zibe yibona tshani babo.

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

Inkosi yayisithuma incwadi kuRehumi unqamulajuqu noShimshayi umbhali nabanye abangane babo ababehlala eSamariya nakwelinye phesheya koMfula yokuthi: Ukuthula, nokuthi nokuthi.

Lapho impinda yencwadi yenkosi u -Aritahishashita isifundiwe phambi kwawoRehumi noShimshayi umbhali nabangane babo , bashesha baya eJerusalema kubaJuda, babathiya ngezikhwepha nangamandla.

URehumi unqamulajuqu noShimshayi , umbhali, nabanye abangane babo , amaDinayi, nama-Afarisathiki, namaTharipheli, nama-Afarisi, nama-Arikhevi, nabaseBabele, namaShushaniki, namaDehavi, nama-Elamu,

Ngasona leso sikhathi kwafika kubo uThathenayi, umbusi phesheya koMfula, noShethati Bozenayi , nabangane babo , basho kanje kubo , bathi: Ngubani owaniyaleza ukwakha le ndlu nokuqeda lolu gange na?

Khona uThathenayi umb usi waphesheya koMfula , noShethari Bozenayi , nabangane babo benza kanjalo ngesineke sonke , ngokuba uDariyu inkosi wayethumele.

Ngikhipha isimemezelo sok uthi bonke abantu bakwa -Israyeli, nabapristi babo, namaLevi embusweni wami, abafuna ukuya eJerusalema, bangahamba nawe,

Bayashaqeka, babanjwa yiminjunju nobuhlungu , bazibinya njengababelethayo. Babhekana omunye nomunye bemangala . Ubuso babo bungubuso bamalangabi.

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.

Ngokuba bhekani , uJehova uyaphuma endaweni yakh e ukuba ahambele ububi babakhileyo emhlabeni ; umhlaba uyakubonakalisa igazi lawo , ungabe usabasibekela ababuleweyo babo.

ngalokho ngiyakubuy e ngenzele laba bantu izenzo ezimangalisayo , izimangaliso impela; ukuhlakanipha kwabahlakaniphileyo babo kuyakuphela, nokuqonda kwabaqondileyo babo kuyakusitheka.

Abakhe khona abayikusho ukuthi : Ngiyagula, abantu abahlala khona bayakuthethelelwa ububi babo.

Izizwe zonke mazibuth elwe ndawonye, abantu bonke babuthane ; ngubani phakathi kwabo ongamemezela lokhu , asizwise izinto zakuqala ; mabalethe ofakazi babo ukuba balungisiswe, bezwe, bathi: Kuyiqiniso.

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

Ubulembu babo a buyikuba yizingubo, futhi abanakuzimboza ngemisebenzi yabo; isenzo sendluzula sisezandleni zabo.

Ngalokho abantu bami bayathunjwa bengazi , nabadumileyo babo bayalamba, nezixuku zabo zigangathekile ngokoma.

Inzalo yabo iyakwaziwa phakathi kwezizwe , nabantwana babo phakathi kwabantu; bonke abababonayo bayakubavum a ukuthi bayinzalo uJ ehova ayibusisile.

Abayikushikashikela ize , bazalele izinhlupheko , ngokuba bayinzalo yababusisiweyo bakaJehova, nabantwana babo bayakuba nabo.

ububi babo nobubi bawoyise kanyekanye , usho uJehova, abashisa impepho ezintabeni, bangihlambalaza emagqumeni; ngiyakulinganisa kuqala umvuzo wabo ezifubeni zabo.

Ngiyakubeka isibonakaliso phakathi kwazo , ngithume ababalekileyo babo kwabezizwe, eTharishishi, nasePhuli, naseLudi, abagoba umnsalo , nakuThubali naseJavani, eziqhingini ezikude, ezingezwanga umbiko ngami , zingabonanga inkazimulo yami, baze balande ngenkazimulo yami ezizweni.

Ngalokho iNkosi ayithokozi ngezinsizwa zabo , ayihawukeli izintandane nabafelokazi babo, ngokuba bonke bangabangenaNkulunkulu nabenza okubi, nayo yonke imilomo ikhuluma ubuwula ; kukho konke lokhu intukuthelo yakhe ayibuyi, isandla sakhe siseluliwe.

Nawonkulunkulu babo kanye nezithombe zabo ezibunjiweyo nezitsha zabo ezinxanelekayo zesiliva nezegolide uyakukuthumba , akuyise eGibithe , ayiyeke inkosi yasenyakatho iminyaka ethile.

Ngasekugcineni kwezinsuku eziyishumi ubuso babo babonakala bubuhle , babekhuluphele emzimbeni kunabo bonke abafana ababedla isabelo sokudla kwenkosi.

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

ukuze banganifundisi ukuba nenze zonke izinengiso zabo abazenzile konkulunkulu babo, none kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

nokuba abantwana babo abangawaziyo bezwe , bafunde ukumesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu isikhathi sonke sokuhlala kwenu ezweni eniwela iJordani ukuba ningene kulo ukulidla.

Uyakuthi: Baphi onkulunkulu babo, idwala ababephephela kulo,

usuku owema ngalo phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho eHorebe , lapho uJehova wathi kimi: Ngibuthele abantu, ngibezwise amazwi ami ukuba bafunde ukungesaba zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwabo emhlabeni, bafundise nabantwana babo.

Sengathi kungaba khona kubo inhliziyo enjalo ukuba bangesabe , bagcine njalo yonke imiyalelo yami, kube kuhle kubo nakubantwana babo kuze kube phakade.

abaphindisele abamzondayo ebuswen i babo , ababhubhise; akayikulibala kuyena omzondayo, uyakumphindisela ebusweni bakhe.

Niyakubaphatha kanje : niyakudiliza ama -altare abo , niphohloze izinsika zabo, ninqume o-Ashera babo, nishise ngomlilo izithombe zabo ezibaziweyo.

Khumbula izinceku zakho o -Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe, ungabheki inkani yalaba bantu, nabubi babo, nasono sabo,

Ungangeni emkhandlwini wabo, mphefumulo wami; ungahlangani nebandla labo, nhliziyo yami , ngokuba ngolaka lwabo babulala abantu ; ngobudlova babo basika izinkabi umsipha.

OShemi noJafete bathatha ingubo , bayifaka emahlombe abo bobabili , bahamba nyovane , basibekela ubunqunu bukayise ; ubuso babo babubh eka emuva, abaze babona ubunqunu bukayise.

uthi kubantu bezwe: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova ngabakhileyo eJerusalema ezweni lakwa -Israyeli, ithi: Bayakudla isinkwa sabo ngokwesaba , baphuze amanzi abo n gokumangala, ngokuba izwe lalo liyakuchithwa , laphucwe konke ukugcwala kwalo ngenxa yobudlova babo bonke abahlala kulo.

Uyindodakazi kanyoko owanengwa yindoda yakhe nabantwana bakhe ; ungudade wawodadewenu abanengwa ngamadoda abo nabantwana babo ; unyoko wayengumHetikazi, uyihlo wayengumAmori.

Ngathi kuban twana babo ehlane : Ningahambi ngezimiso zawoyihlo , ningagcini izahlulelo zabo, ningazingcolisi ngezithombe zabo.

Ndodana yomuntu, indlu yakwa-Israyeli isingamanyela kimi ; bonke babo bayithusi nethini nensimbi nomthofu phakathi kwesithando ; bangamanyela esiliva.

Kukhona uzungu lwabaprofethi bawo phakathi kwawo njengengonyama ebhongayo edwengula impango ; badlile imiphefumulo , bathatha ingcebo nokuyigugu; benzile abafelokazi babo babe baningi phakathi kwawo.

Babefeba eGibithe, bafeba ebusheni babo ; bapotozwa khona amabele abo , zacindezelwa khona izingono zobuntombi babo.

Kepha akashiyanga ubufebe bakhe baseGibithe , ngokuba balala naye ebusheni bakhe, bacindezela izingono zobuntombi bakhe , bathulula ubufebe babo phezu kwakhe.

Wena ndodana yomuntu, angithi kuyakwenzeka mhla ngisusa inqaba yabo, intokozo nobuhle babo , okunxanelekayo emehlweni abo , nababeke umphefumulo wabo kukho, amadodana abo namadodakazi abo,

Wena ndodana yomuntu , ungabesabi, ungesabi namazwi abo , noma amakhakhasi nameva kukuwe , uhlezi phakathi kwawofezela ; ungawesabi amazwi a bo, ungapheli am andla ngobuso babo , ngokuba bayindlu ehlubukayo.

Lapho kukhona oMesheke noThubali naso sonke isixuku sabo , amathuna abo engakubo nxazonke , bonke babo bengabangasokile , bebulewe ngenkemba, ngokuba babebanga ukuba besatshwe ezweni labaphilayo.

Lapho kukhona izikhulu zasenyakatho , zonke zazo , nabo bonke abaseSidoni, abehlile nabagwaziweyo ; nakuba bebesatshwa ngenxa yobuqhawe babo , sebejabhile, balele bengasokil e nababulewe ngenkemba , bethwala amahloni kanye nabehlela egodini.

Bayakuhlala ez weni engilinike inceku yami uJakobe , ababehlala kulo oyihlo; bayakuhlala kulo, bona nabantwana babo , nabantwana babantwana babo kuze kube phakade, uDavide inceku yami abe yisikhulu sabo kuze kube phakade.

Bheka, ngenze ubuso bakho bube lukhuni njengobuso babo , nebunzi lakho libe nqala njengamabunzi abo.

Ngenze ibunzi lakho njengedayimani , elilukhuni kunensengetsha; ungabesabi, ungapheli amandla ngobuso babo, noma beyindlu ehlubukayo.

Wena ndodana yomuntu , bonisa abendlu yakwa -Israyeli le ndlu ukuba babe namahloni ngobubi babo, balinganise isimo sayo.

Abayikuthatha umfelokazi nolahliweyo babe ngabafazi babo , kepha bathathe izintombi zozalo lwendlu yakwa -Israyeli, noma umfelokazi ongumfelokazi wompristi.

ukuba baswele isinkwa namanzi , bamangale omunye nomunye , babune ebubini babo.

Ngalokho oyise bayakudla abantwana babo phakathi kwakho , abantwana badle oyise , ngenze izahlulelo phakathi kwakho , ngihlakaze kuyo yonke imimoya yonke insali yakho.

Niyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova , lapho ababuleweyo babo beyakuba phakathi kwezithombe zabo nxa zonke zama-altare abo kuwo onke amagquma aphakemeyo, nakuzo zonke iziqongo zezintaba , naphansi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza, naphansi kwawo onke ama -oki adumbileyo, izindawo lapho bebenikela khona ngephunga elimnandi kuzo zonke izithombe zabo.

Ubudlova buyavuka , bube yintonga yokubi , kungasali muntu kubo nasesixukwini sabo, kungasali lutho emfuyweni yabo nasebukhosini babo.

Abaphunyukileyo babo bayakuphunyuka , babe sezintabeni njengamajuba asezigodini, bakhale bonke, kube yilowo nalowo ngezono zakhe.

Bayakuphonsa isiliva labo ezitaladini , igolide labo libe yinto engcolileyo , isiliva labo negolide labo kungabi namandla okubophula ngosuk u lwentukuthelo kaJehova; abayikusuthisa imiphefumulo yabo , bangagcwalisi izibilini zabo, ngokuba kade kuyisikhubekiso sobubi babo.

ISamariya liyakuthwala icala lalo , ngokuba lihlubukile uNkulunkulu walo ; bayakuwa ng enkemba, izingane zabo zichotshozwe , abakhulelweyo babo baqaqwe.

Badla izono zabantu bami, babhekisa umphefumulo wabo ebubini babo.

Ukuzidla kuka -Israyeli kuyafakaza ebusweni bakhe ; o-Israyeli no -Efrayimi bayakukhubeka ngobubi babo; naye uJuda uyakukhubeka kanye nabo.

Ngobubi babo bayathokozisa inkosi, nezikhulu ngamanga abo.

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

Imihlatshelo yeminikelo yami bayihlaba , bayidle inyama, kepha uJehova akayenameli. Useyakhumbula ububi babo , abahambele ngezono zabo , babuyele eGibithe.

Bazonakalisile ngokujulileyo njengasezinsukwini zaseGibeya ; uyakhumbula ububi babo, uyabahambela ngezono zabo.

Usho kanje uJehova ngalaba bantu , uthi: Bathanda ukuzula kanjalo , abazibambi izinyawo zabo ; uJehova akathokozi ngabo ; manje uyakubukhumbula ububi babo, azihambele izono zabo.

Abakhulu babo bathuma abancane babo emanzini ; bafika emigodini, kepha abafumani manzi, babuya, izitsha zabo zingenalutho; banamahloni, bajabhile, bamboza amakhanda abo.

Abafelokazi babo bandile kim i kunesihlabathi solwandle, ngehlisele phezu kwawonina bezinsizwa umchithi emini, ngehlisele ukwesaba nengebhe phezu kwabo.

Ngokuba amehlo ami akuzo zonke izindlela zabo ; abasithele ebusweni bami, nobubi babo abufihlekile emehlweni ami.

Ngalokho bopha izinkalo zakho , usuke, ukhulume kubo bonke engikuyala ngabo; ungapheli amandla ngabo , funa ngiqede amandla akho ebusweni babo.

Kuyakuthi la pho iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa isigcwalisekile , ngihambele inkosi yaseBabele nesizwe leso , usho uJehova , ngobubi babo , kanye nezwe lamaKaledi, ngilenze libe yincithakalo ephakade.

Bafika ukulwa namaKaledi, bazigcwalisa ngezidumbu zabantu engibabulele ngentukuthelo yami nangokufutheka kwami, nengifihlele lo muzi ubuso bami ngenxa yabo bonke ububi babo.

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

Kuyakuba njalo bonke abantu ababhekisa ubuso babo ukuya eGibithe ukuba bagogobale khona ; bayakufa ngenkemba , nangendlala, nangesifo, kungabikho kubo oyakusala , aphunyuke ebubini engiyakubehlisela phezu kwabo.

ngenxa yobubi babo ababenzileyo ukuba bangicunule , behamba beshisa impepho, bekhonza abanye onkulunkulu abangabazanga bona , nani, nawoyihlo.

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

Bayakubuza indlela yaseSiyoni , ubuso babo bubhekene nalo , bethi: Wozani nizihlanganise noJehova ngesivumelwano esiphakade esingenakukhohlakala.

Abantu bami babe yizimvu ezilahlekileyo; abelusi babo babadukisile , babazulazulisa ezintabeni , basuka entabeni , baya egqumeni , bakhohlwa indawo yabo yokuphumula.

Bakhipha izingane zabo njengomhlambi; abantwana babo bayagida.

UNkulunkulu ubekela abantwana babo ububi babo ; yebo, kodwa makabuphindisele kubo uqobo ukuba babazi.

Anibuzanga abadlula endleleni, nibazi ubufakazi babo

Inzalo yabo iyema phambi kwabo kanye nabo , nabantwana babo phambi kwamehlo abo.

Bheka, njengezimbongolo ehlane bayaphumela emisebenzini yabo befunisisa ukudla; ihlane lingukudla kwabo abakunika abantwana babo.

Abasele kuye bayakumbelwa ekufeni, abafelokazi babo bangalili.

Kepha manje abancan e ngeminyaka kunami bayangihleka , oyise babo engangibadelela ukuba ngingababeki naphakathi kwezinja zezimvu zami.

Uyabamba abahlakaniphileyo ebuqilini babo ; isiluleko soyisigwegwe siyachithwa ngokuphuthuma.

Abantu baseNineve bakholwa nguNkulunkulu; bamemezela ukuzila ukudla, bembatha izindwangu zamas aka, kusukela kwabakhulu babo kwaze kwaba kwabancane.

Sebehleliwe abantu , lonke ibandla elalingasenyakatho komuzi nabaqamekeleyo babo ab abengasentshonalanga komuzi , uJoshuwa waya ngalobo busuku phakathi kwesigodi.

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.

Ungambuli ubunqunu bendodakazi yendodana yakho n oma obendodakazi yendodakazi yakho ; awuyikwambula ubunqunu babo , ngokuba obabo bungubunqunu bakho.

Ungambuli ubunqunu bukadadewenu, indodakazi kayihlo noma indodakazi kanyoko, noma ezelwe kini , noma ezelwe kwelinye ; ungambuli ubunqunu babo.

Ungambuli ubunqunu bukadadewabo kanyoko , noma obukadadewabo kayihlo, ngokuba unqunisile isihlobo sakhe; bayakuthwala ububi babo.

Abaseleyo bakini bayakonda ngobubi babo emazweni ezitha zenu , nangobubi bawoyise bayakonda kanye nabo.

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 ngenxa yabo ngiyakukhumbula isivumelwano sawokhokho babo engabakhipha ezweni laseGibithe emehlweni ezizwe ukuba ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo; nginguJehova.

Liyize, alisenalutho, lichithekile; inhliziyo iyancibilika , amadolo ayashayana, imihelo isezinkalweni zonke , nobuso babo bonke buphaphathekile.

babambelela kubafowabo , abakhulu babo , benza isithembiso nesifungo sokuba bahambe emthethweni k aNkulunkulu owanikwa ngesandla sikaMose inceku kaNkulunkulu, bagcine, benze yonke imiyalo kaJehova iN kosi yethu, nezahlulelo zakhe, nezimiso zakhe

Abantwana babo bakhuluma ngokwenxenye ngesi-Ashidodi; bengenakukhuluma isiJuda bakhuluma ngolimi lwezizwe ngezizwe.

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

Nokho inyama yethu injengenyama yabafowethu , abantwana bethu banjengabantwana babo ; bheka, sithobisa amadodana ethu namadodakazi ethu, abe yizigqila; amanye amadodakazi ethu asethotshisiwe ; futhi awakho amandla ezandleni zethu , ngokuba amasimu ethu nezivini zethu sekungokwabanye.

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

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.

Nabantwana babo wabandisa ngangezinkanyezi zezulu , wabangenisa ezweni owasho ngalo koyise ukuthi bayakungena ukulidla.

Abakukhonzanga embusweni wabo , nasebuhleni bakho obukhulu owabanika bona, nasezweni elibanzi nelivundileyo owabapha lona ebusweni babo, ababuyanga emisebenzini yabo emibi.

UMose wabathuma-ke besuka ehlane lasePharanu ngesiyalezo sikaJehova ; bonke babo babe ngabantu abayizinhloko zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Bawa ngobuso babo , bathi: Nkulunkulu, Nkulunkulu wemimoya yenyama yonke, kona umuntu munye, uthukuthelele inhlangano yonke, na?

Khuphuka kule nhlangano ukuba ngibaqede ngokuphazima kweso . Bawa ngobuso babo.

Babutha inhlangano yonke ngolokuqala lwenyanga yesibili , basho okhokho babo ngemindeni yabo nangezindlu zawoyise njengokomumo wamagama , kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabili kuya phezulu , ngezinhloko zabo.

OMose no-Aroni basuka ebusweni bebandla ukuya ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana, bawa ngobuso babo; inkazimulo kaJehova yabonakala kubo.

ngokuba babiza abantu ukuba beze emihlatshelweni yawonkulunkulu babo ; abantu badla, bakhothamela onkulunkulu babo.

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bathumba abesifazane bakwaMidiyani nabancane babo; nazo zonke izinkomo zabo , nazo zonke izimvu zabo , nayo yonke impahla yabo bakuthatha kwaba yimpango yabo.

U-Efrayimi uyakuba njengeqhawe ; inhliziyo yabo iyakuthokoza njengangewayini; abantwana babo bayakukubona, bathokoze; inhliziyo yabo iyakujabula kuJehova.

Nalapho ngibahlwanyela phakathi kwabantu , bayakungikhumbula ezindaweni ezikude, baphile kanye nabantwana babo, babuye.

Ngathi: Kuyini? Yathi: Lokhu kuyi -efa eliphumayo . Yabuye yathi : Lokhu kungububi babo ezweni lonke.

Ngokuba konke lokho ngakubeka enhliziyweni yami ukuhlola konke lokho ukuthi abalungileyo nabahlakaniphileyo nemisebenzi yabo kusesandleni sikaNkulunkulu; noma kulu thando noma kuyinzondo , akukho muntu okwaziyo; konke kusebusweni babo.
