Wayesekhuphuka u -Ahabi ukuba adle , aphuze. U-Eliya wakhuph ukela esiqongweni saseKarmeli , wakhothamela phansi , wabeka ubuso bakhe phakathi kwamadolo akhe.

U-Eliya esezwile lokho wagubuzela ubuso bakhe ngengubo yakhe , waphuma, wema emnyango womhume . Bheka, kwafika kuye izwi , lathi: Wenzani lapha, Eliya, na?

Wathi: Ngiyakuphuma ngibe ngumoya wamanga emilonyeni yabaprofethi bakhe bonke. Wayesethi: Uyakumyenga, futhi uyakumahlula; hamba, wenze njalo.

Wathi-ke: Uyazi wena ukuthi umbuso wawungowami nokuthi wonke u - Israyeli wabhekisa kimi ubuso bakhe ukuba ngibuse ; kepha umbuso usuguquliwe, sewaba ngowomfowethu, ngokuba wawuthola kuJehova.

Nampa abafika kuDavide eSikilagi esagogobele ebusweni bukaSawule indodana kaKishi; babe phakathi kwamaqhawe, abasizi bakhe empini.

UDavide wabusa phezu kuka -Israyeli wonke , waphatha ukwahlulela nokulunga kubo bonke abantu bakhe.

UDavide esefika ku -Orinani, u-Orinani wabuka , wambona uDavide , waphuma esibuyeni, wakhothamela uDavide, ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi.

UJowabe wathi: UJehova makenezele kubantu bakhe, kuphindwe kayikhulu phezu kwalokhu abayikho; kepha, nkosi yami, nkosi, abasizo izinceku zenkosi yami bonke na ? Inkosi yami ifunelani le nto na ? Iyakuba yicala ngani ku - Israyeli na?

UDavide wayala ukuba babuthe bonke abafokazi ababe sezweni lakwa - Israyeli, wabeka abakhi ukubaza amatshe axhoziweyo ukuba bakhe indlu kaNkulunkulu.

Ngokuba uDavide wathi : UJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli unike abantu bakhe ukuphumula; uhlezi eJerusalema kuze kube phakade;

Amadodana kaRubeni , izibulo lika -Israyeli ngokuba wayeyizibulo ; kepha njengokuba wangcolisa umbhede kayise , ubuzibulo bakhe banikwa amadodana kaJosefa indodana ka -Israyeli, futhi akabhalwa ngezizukulwane njengezibulo.

njengalokho uSara wamlalela u -Abrahama embiza ngokuthi inkosi , eningabantwana bakhe , uma nenza okuhle , ningesatshiswa nokukodwa okwesabisayo.

ophatha kahle indlu yakhe , abantwana bakhe bemthobela ngenhlonipho yonke --

Ngisho lokhu ukuba nibe namahloni. Kunjalo kanti : akukho namunye phakathi kwenu ohlakaniphileyo onganquma phakathi kwabaz alwane bakhe na?

njengokuba nazi ukuthi saniphatha abanye ngabanye njengoyise ephatha abantwana bakhe,

Izithunywa zesizwe ziyakuphendulwa ngokuthini na ? Ukuthi nguJehova obeke isisekelo eSiyoni; abahluphekayo babantu bakhe bayakuphephela kulo.

Inhliziyo yami ikhalela uMowabi ; ababalekileyo bakhe bayabalekela eSora , nase Egila Shelishiya; yebo, nasegqumeni laseLuhithe bakhuphukela bekhala, nasendleleni eya eHoronayimi, bephakamisa izwi lokudazuluka.

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

U-Abrama wathi kuSarayi: Bheka, incekukazi yakho isesandleni sakho; yenza kuyo okufanele emehlweni akho . USarayi wayilaya, yabaleka ebusweni bakhe.

U-Abrahama wayesewa ngobuso bakhe , wahleka, wathi enhliziyweni yakhe: Oneminyaka eyikhulu uyakuzalelwa na ? USara oneminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye uyakuzala na?

U-Abrama wayesewa ngobuso bakhe; uNkulunkulu wakhuluma naye, wathi:

Ngokuba ngimkhethele ukuba ayale abantwana bakhe nendlu yakhe emva kwakhe ukugcina indlela kaJehova nokusebenza ukulunga nokwahlulela , ukuze uJehova amenzele u-Abrahama lokho amthembise khona.

Wathi kimi : U Jehova, engihambe ebusweni bakhe , uzakuthuma ingelosi yakhe nawe , aphumelelise indlela yakho; uyakuyithathela indodana yami umfazi ezihlotsheni zami nasendlini kababa.

Le iyiminyaka yokuhamba kuka -Ishmayeli: iminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amathathu nesikhombisa; wagqibuka wafa, wabuthelwa kubantu bakhe.

UJakobe wathi: Funga kimi namuhla. Wayesefunga kuye, wathengisa ngefa lobuzibulo bakhe kuJakobe.

UJakobe wamupha u -Esawu isinkwa nokudla kwembumba ; wadla, waphuza, wavuka, wahamba; wadelela kanjalo u-Esawu ubuzibulo bakhe.

U-Abrahama wagqibuka wafa , esemdala egugile , esanelisiwe yizinsuku , wabuthelwa kubantu bakhe.

Wayesephaphama uJakobe ebuthongweni bakhe , wathi: Imbala uJehova ukule ndawo, mina-ke bengingakwazi.

Niyakukhuluma nithi : Futhi bheka , inceku yakho uJakobe iyeza , isemva kwethu. Ngokuba wathi : Ngizakumthoba ngalesi sipho esihamba pha mbi kwami, andukuba ngibone ubuso bakhe; mhlawumbe angangamukela.

Wavuka ebusuku, wathatha omkakhe ababili, nezincekukazi zakhe ezimbili, nabantwana bakhe abayishumi nanye, wawela ezibukweni elithiwa iJaboki.

Wabeka izincekukazi n abantwana bazo ngaphambili, uLeya nabantwana bakhe ngasemuva, oRaheli noJosefa ngasekugcineni.

Wasondela noLeya nabantwana bakhe , bakhothama; ngasemuva wafika uJosefa enoRaheli, bakhothama.

Imihlambi yabo , nempahla yabo , nezinkomo zabo akuyikuba ng okwethu na? Masibavumele kuphela, bakhe kithi.

U-Isaka wagqibuka wafa , wabuthelwa kubantu bakhe , emdala esanelisiwe yizinsuku. O-Esawu noJakobe amadodana akhe bammbela.

Kepha u -Israyeli wathanda uJosefa kakhulu kunabantwana bakhe bonke , ngokuba wayeyindodana yobuxhegu bakhe ; wamenzela ingubo enemikhono emide.

AbakwaMidiyani bathengisa ngaye eGibithe kuPotifari , inceku kaFaro , induna yabalindi bakhe.

Wageza ubuso bakhe, waphuma; wazibamba, wathi: Lethani ukudla.

Bahlala phambi kwakhe , izibulo njengobuzibulo balo nomncane njengobuncane bakhe; abantu bamangala omunye nomunye.

Sase sithi enkosini yami : Sinobaba, ixhegu, nomntwana wobuxhegu bakhe omncane; umnewabo ufile, usesele yedwa kwabakanina; uyise uyamthanda.

Wathi uJosefa kubafowabo : NginguJosefa; ubaba usekhona na ? Abafowabo babengenakumphendula, ngokuba bashaqeka ebusweni bakhe.

UJosefa wawakhipha emathangeni akhe ; wakhothama, ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi.

Wambusisa uJosefa, wathi: UNkulunkulu abahamba ebusweni bakhe obaba o-Abrahama no-Isaka, uNkulunkulu ongondlile konke ukuhamba kwami kuze kube namuhla,

UDani uyakuthetha amacala abantu bakhe , njengesinye sezizwe zakwa - Israyeli.

UJakobe eseqedile ukuyala amadodana akhe waqoqela izinyawo zakhe embhedeni, wagqibuka, wabuthelwa kubantu bakhe.

ULameka wathi kubo abafazi bakhe : Ada noSila , yizwani izwi lami ; nina bafazi bakaLameka , lalelani ukusho kwami : Bhekani, ngibulala umunt u ngenxeba engilitholayo, nensizwa ngomvimbo engiwuzwiswayo.

Kepha uKayini nomnikelo wakhe akawunakanga. Wayesethukuthela kakhulu uKayini, ubuso bakhe banyukumala.

Base befika nabafowabo , bawa phansi ebusweni bakhe , bathi: Bheka, siyizinceku zakho.

UJehova wezwa iphunga elimnandi ; uJehova wathi enhliziyweni yakhe : Angisayikuphinda ngiqalekise umhlaba ngenxa yabantu, ngokuba imicabango yomuntu mibi kwasebusheni bakhe ; angisayikuphinda ngibhubhise konke okuphilayo, njengalokho ngenzile.

Wo komphuzisa umngane wakhe , axube nokufutheka , amdakise, ukuze abuke ubunqunu bakhe!

Qha! Ngalokho khuluma kuwona , uthi kuwo : Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Yilowo nalowo muntu wakwa-Israyeli ongenisa izithombe zakhe enhliziyweni yakhe , abeke isikhubekiso sokona kwakhe phambi kobuso bakhe, eze kumprofethi , mina Jehova ngiyakumphendula ngokobuningi bezithombe zakhe,

Ngokuba yilowo nalowo muntu wendlu ka-Israyeli nomfokazi ogogobele kwa-Israyeli, ozahlukanisa nami , angenise izithombe zakhe enhliziyweni yakhe, abeke isikhubekiso sokona kwakhe phambi kobuso bakhe , eze kumprofethi ukuba azibuzele kimi , mina Jehova ngiyakumphendula ngokwami,

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

UFaro akayikumenzela impi enkulu nebandla elikhulu empini , lapho benqwabela iduli, bakhe izinqaba, ukuze banqume abantu abaningi.

Bonke ababalekayo bakhe kuwo onke amaviyo akhe bayakuwa ngenkemba, nabaseleyo bayakuhlakazelwa kuyo imimoya yonke, nazi ukuthi mina Jehova ngikukhulumile.

Lapho omubi ephenduka ebubini bakhe abe nzileyo, enze ukwahlulela nokulunga, uyakusindisa umphefumulo wakhe.

Bona bambula ubunqunu bakhe , bathatha amadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe; yena bambulala ngenkemba , waba yisaga phakathi kwabesifazane , lapho kwenziwa ukwahlulelwa kuye.

Udadewabo u-Oholiba wakubona, kepha wonakala ekukhanukeni kwakhe kunaye, nasebufebeni bakhe obadlula ubufebe bukadadewabo.

Wengezela ebufebeni bakhe , ngokuba wabona amadoda ayedwetshwe odongeni, imifanekiso yamaKaledi eyayilotshwe ngebomvu,

Wambula ubufebe bakhe, wambula ubunqunu bakhe. Wase wahlukana naye umphefumulo wami , njengalokho umphefumulo wami wahlukana nodadewabo.

Kepha wandisa ubufebe bakhe , ekhumbula izinsuku zobusha bakhe afebe ngazo ezweni laseGibithe.

U-Ohola wafeba esengowami , wakhanukela izithandwa za khe, abase- Asiriya, abakhelwane bakhe,

Wabanika ubufebe bakhe , bengamadoda akhethekileyo ase -Asiriya; bonke abakhanukelayo, wangcoliswa ngazo zonke izithombe zabo.

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

Bayakuhlala kulo belondekile, bakhe izindlu, batshale izivini, yebo, bahlale ngokulondeka, lapho ngenza ukwahlulela kubo bonke abanamafundululu kubo phakathi kwababahaqayo , bazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo.

Yena nabantu bakhe kanye naye , abesabekayo bezizwe , bayakulethwa ukuba bachithe izwe , bahoshele iGibithe izinkemba zabo , bagcwalise izwe ngabagwaziweyo.

Kepha wena ndodana yomuntu , yisho kubantwana babantu bakho , uthi: Ukulunga kolungileyo akuyikumophula ngosuku lwesiphambeko sakhe , nobubi-ke bomubi akayikuwa ngabo ngosuku lokubuya kwakhe ebubini bakhe, nolungileyo akanakuphila ngakho ngosuku lokona kwakhe.

Nalapho omubi ebuya ebubini bakhe , enze okufaneleyo nokulungileyo , uyakuphila ngakho.

Kepha uma umlindi ebona inkemba yehla , angabethi icilongo , abantu bangaxwayi, bese yehla inkemba, isuse umuntu kubo , uyasuswa ngenxa yobubi bakhe kepha igazi lakhe ngiyakulibiza esandleni somlindi.

Lapho ngithi komubi : M untu omubi , uyakufa nokufa , bese wungakhulumi ukuba uxwayise omubi ashiye indlela yakhe , lowo muntu omubi uyakufa ngenxa yobubi bakhe, kepha igazi lakhe ngiyakulibiza esandleni sakho.

Kepha uma umxwayisa omub i ukuba ashiye indlela yakhe , abuye kuyo , angabuyi kodwa endleleni yakhe, uyakufa ngenxa yobubi bakhe, kepha wena uzikhululile.

Wena ndodana yomuntu, zithathele induku, ulobe kuyo ngokuthi: EkaJuda neyabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abangane bakhe . Thatha enye induku , ulobe kuyo ngokuthi: EkaJosefa, induku ka -Efrayimi neyendlu yonke yakwa - Israyeli, abangane bakhe,

khuluma kubo , uthi: Isho kan je iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Bheka, ngiyakuyithatha induku kaJosefa esesandleni sika -Efrayimi nezizwe zakwa - Israyeli, abangane bakhe , ngiyibeke endukwini kaJuda , ngizenze zibe yinduku inye, babe munye esandleni sami.

Kepha wena , uma umxwayisa omubi , angaze abuya ebubini bakhe nasendleleni yakhe embi, uyakufela ezonweni zakhe, kepha wena uwophulile umphefumulo wakho.

Ngokuba umthengisi akayikubuyela kokuthengisiweyo , nakuba esekhona phakathi kwabaphilayo , ngokuba umbono wesixuku sonke awuyikubuya , futhi akuyikubakho muntu ongabambelela ekuphileni ngenxa yobubi bakhe.

Bayakulandela uJehova oyakubhonga njengengonyama , ngokuba uyakubhonga, abantwana bakhe bavele entshonalanga ngokuthuthumela.

Esiswini wabamba umfowabo ngesithende , nasebudodeni bakhe walwa noNkulunkulu;

Imixhantela yakhe iyakuxhantela , ubuhle bakhe bube njengomnqumo , iphunga lakhe libe njengeLebanoni.

Phikisanani nonyoko, niphikisane, ngokuba akasiye umkami, nami angisiyo indoda yakhe; makasuse ubufebe bakhe ebusweni bakhe, nokuphinga kwakhe phakathi kwamabele akhe,

Angiyikuhawukela abantwana bakhe, ngokuba bangabantwana bobufebe.

Ngalokho ngiyakubuye ngithabathe amabele ami ngesikhathi sawo , newayini lami elisha ngenkathi yalo , ngisuse uboya bami bezimvu nefilakisi lami lokusibekela ubunqunu bakhe.

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

Ukuzidla kuka -Israyeli kuyafakaza ebusweni bakhe , nokho ababuyelanga kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, abamfunanga kukho konke lokhu.

U-Efrayimi, njengalokho ngibone eTire, utshalwe endaweni emnandi, kepha u-Efrayimi uyakukhiphela umbulali abantwana bakhe.

Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova ngoJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya , inkosi yakwaJuda, uthi: Abayikumkhalela ngokuthi : Hhawu, mfowethu, noma, hhawu, dadewethu! futhi bangamkhaleli ngokuthi : Hhawu, nkosi, noma, hhawu, bukhosi bakhe!

Nakubaprofethi baseJerusalema ngibonile okwesabekayo : bayaphinga, bahamba ngamanga , baqinisa izandla zababi , ukuze kungabuyi muntu ebubini bakhe ; bonke banjengeSodoma kimi , nabakhileyo kulo banjengeGomora.

kanye noFaro inkosi yaseGibithe , nezinceku zakhe , nezikhulu zakhe , nabantu bakhe bonke,

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Izwi liyezwakala eRama , ukulila nokukhala okumunyu, uRaheli ekhalela abantwana bakhe ; uyala ukududuzwa ngabantwana bakhe, ngokuba abasekho.

Ngokuba yilowo nalowo uyakufa ngobubi bakhe ; bonke abantu abazidla izithelo zomvini ezimuncu amazinyo abo ayakuba buthuntu.

Ngokuba niyishisile impepho nangokuba nonile kuJehova , ningalilalelanga izwi likaJehova , ningahambanga ngomthetho wakhe , nangezimiso zakhe , nangobufakazi bakhe, ngalokho le ngozi ihlangabezene nani njenganamuhla.

UMowabi ugciniwe kwasebusheni bakhe , uphumulile enhleseni yakhe , kathululwanga ezitsheni ngezitsha, akayanga ekuthunjweni ; ngalokho ukuzwakala kwakhe kuhlala kuye, nephunga lakhe aliguquki.

Mdakiseni, ngokuba uzikhukhumezile kuJehova; uMowabi makahuquzele ebuhlanzweni bakhe, abe ngohlekwayo naye.

Ngiyakwenza ukuba kuphele kwaMowabi , usho uJehova , yena onikela ezindaweni eziphakemeyo noshisela onkulunkulu bakhe impepho.

UMowabi uchithekile; abancane bakhe bezwakalisa ukukhala.

Ngokuba ngenxa yokwethemb a kwakho imisebenzi yakh o nengcebo yakho nawe uyakubanjwa, uKemoshi aye ekuthunjweni , abapristi bakhe nezikhulu zakhe kanyekanye.

Ngabantwana bakwa -Amoni. Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: U-Israyeli kanamadodana, kanandlalifa, na? UMilkomu udleleni ifa likaGadi , abantu bakhe bahlale emizini yakhe, na?

Kepha mina ngiyakumhlubula u -Esawu, ngambule izindawo zakhe ezichithekileyo, kanakucasha; inzalo yakhe ichithekile , nabafowabo, nabakhelwane bakhe, yena abe engasekho.

Hhewula, Heshiboni, ngokuba i -Ayi lichithekile , nikhale, madodakazi aseRaba, nibhince izindwangu zamasaka , nilile, nigijime phakathi kwezintango, ngokuba uMilikomu uyakuya ekuthunjweni , abapristi bakhe nezikhulu zakhe kanyekanye.

Nqumani umhlwanyeli eBabel e nobamba isikela ngesikhathi sokuvuna ; ngenxa yenkemba ecindezelay o yilowo nalowo uyakubheka abantu bakhe , yilowo nalowo abalekele ezweni lakubo.

Ngokuba kwenzeka lok ho eJerusalema nakwaJuda ngenxa yentukuthe lo kaJehova, waze wabalahla ebusweni bakhe ; uSedekiya wayihlubuka inkosi yaseBabele.

Ngaqaphela, ngezwa; abakhulumanga kahle; akakho ozisola ngobubi bakhe, ethi: Ngenzeni na? Bonke baphendukela emisebenzini yab o njengamahhashi aphulukundlela empini.

Ubukhulu bakhe abuyikunethusa, nengebhe ngaye inehlele, na?

Abacibishelayo bakhe bangihaqa ; uyaqhekeza izinso zami engenasihawu ; uchithela inyongo yami emhlabathini.

Ochaka abangane bakhe ngenxa yesabelo , amehlo abantwana bakhe ayakufiphala.

Akayikuba nandodana namzukulwana phakathi kwabantu bakhe ; akuyikuba khona lapho egogobala khona.

Abantwana bakhe bayakuzincengela kwabampofu , izandla zakhe zibuyise impahla yakhe.

Izulu liyakwambula ububi bakhe, umhlaba umvukele.

Noma ubukhulu bakhe bukhuphukela ezulwini , nekhanda lakhe lifinyelela emafwini,

Ngubani oyakumtshela indlela yakhe ebusweni bakhe ? Ngubani oyakumphindisela ngalokho akwenzileyo na?

Ngalokho ngishaywa luvalo ebusweni bakhe ; lapho ngikuqaphela , ngiyamesaba.

Uma abantwana bakhe banda, bandela inkemba; inzalo yakhe ayiyikusutha ngokudla.

Ulaka lwakhe lwavuthela nabangane bakhe abathathu , ngokuba noma bengafumananga impendulo, bamlahla nokho uJobe.

inyama yakhe ibe ntsha kuneyomntwana, abuyele emihleni yobusha bakhe,

khona uyakunxusa uNkulunkulu ukuba abe nomusa kuye , abone ubuso bakhe ngokujabula, abesebuyisela kumuntu ukulunga kwakhe.

Lapho yena ethula , ngubani ongalahla , nalapho ethukusa ubuso bakhe , ngubani ongambona na ? Ubusa ngokufananayo , noma kuyisizwe noma kungumuntu,

Ukhulula ompofu ngobumpofu bakhe, avule indlebe yabo ngokuhlupheka.

Emva kwalo kuduma izwi; uduma ngezwi lobukhosi bakhe; kalumisi unyazi, lapho lizwakala izwi lakhe.

Izicabha zobuso bakhe ngubani ongazivula na ? Amazinyo akhe ayesabeka nxazonke.

UJehova wambuyisa uJobe ekuhluphekeni , lapho ekhul ekela abangane bakhe; wenezela kukho konke uJobe ayenakho ngokukuphinda kabili.

Ngalokho zithatheleni izinkun zi eziyisikhombisa nezinqama eziyisikhombisa, niye encekwini yami uJobe , nizinikelele ngazo zibe ngumnikelo wokushiswa; uJobe inceku yami uyakunikhulekela, ngokuba uma ngivuma ubuso bakhe , angiyikwenza kini njengobuwula benu , lokhu ningakhulumanga okulungileyo ngami njengenceku yami uJobe.

Khona kwakhuphuka uHoramu inkosi yaseGezeri ukuba asize iLakishi ; kepha uJoshuwa wambulala nabantu bakhe , akaze amshiyela noyedwa owasalayo.

U-Akani indodana kaZera akenzanga yini isiphambeko kukho okuqalekisiweyo, yonke inhlangano yakwa -Israyeli yehlelwa yintukuthelo na? Futhi akafanga yedwa lowo muntu ebubini bakhe.

Ngamupha u-Isaka oJakobe no-Esawu; ngamnika u-Esawu intaba yaseSeyiri ukuba ayidle; uJakobe nabantwana bakhe behlela eGibithe.

UJehova wayesehawukela izwe lakhe, wabahawukela abantu bakhe.

UJehova waphendula , wathi kubantu bakhe : Bhekani, ngiyakunithumela amabele, newayini, namafutha, nisuthe ngakho , ngingabe ngisanenza inhlamba phakathi kwabezizwe.

Ngiyakudedisela kude nani owasenyakatho, ngimxoshele ezweni elomileyo nelichithakeleyo, ubuso bakhe bube ngaselwandle lwasempumalanga, umuva wakhe ube ngaselwandle lwasentshonalanga , kukhuphuke ukunuka kwakhe , kwenyuke iphunga lakhe elibi; ngokuba wenzile izinto ezinkulu.
