Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ababe khona eJerusalema bawugubha umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngokuthokoza okukhulu; amaLevi nabapristi bamdumisa uJehova imihla ngemihla ngezinto zokubethwa ezizwakalayo kuJehova.

Kwakukhona-ke ukuthokoza okukhulu eJerusalema , ngokuba kusukela esikhathini sikaSolomoni indodana kaDavide, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, akuzange kube khona okunjalo eJerusalema.

Ngokuba babengenakulenza ngaleso sikhathi , lokhu abapristi bebengazingcwelisanga ngokwaneleyo nabantu bebengakabuthani eJerusalema.

Benza isinqumo sokuhambisa izwi ku -Israyeli wonke kusukela eBeri Sheba kuze kube kwaDani ukuba bafike , bamenzele uJehova uNkulunkulu ka - Israyeli iphasika eJerusalema , ngokuba babengalenzanga ebandleni njengokulotshiweyo.

Washo kubantu abakhileyo eJerusalema ukuba banike abapristi namaLevi izabelo, ukuze babambelele emthethweni kaJehova.

Usho kanje uSaneheribi , inkosi yase -Asiriya, uthi: Nethembani nina , njengokuba nihlala nivinjezelwe eJerusalema, na?

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

Abaningi baletha izipho kuJehova eJerusalema namagugu kuHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda , waze waphakanyiswa emehlweni abo bonke abezizwe ngasemuva. Ukugula nokufa kukaHezekiya

Kepha lapho uHezekiy a esezithoba ekukhukhumaleni kwenhliziyo yakhe , yena nabakhileyo eJerusalema , ulaka lukaJehova alubehlelanga emihleni kaHezekiya.

UHezekiya wayeselala koyise ; bammbela emmangweni wamathuna amadodana kaDavide ; wonke uJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema bamenzela udumo ekufeni kwakhe. UManase indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Emva kwalokho uSaneheribi inkosi yase -Asiriya wathuma izinceku za khe eJerusalema wayephambi kweLakishi nab o bonke ababusi benaye kuHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda nakuye wonke uJuda waseJerusalema, wathi:

UManase wayeneminyaka eyishumi nambili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa , wabusa iminyaka engamashumi ayisihlanu nanhlanu eJerusalema.

Wakhuleka kuye ; wancengwa nguye , wezwa ukunxusa kwakhe, wambuyisela eJerusalema embusweni wakhe . Wayesekwazi uManase ukuthi uJehova nguye onguNkulunkulu.

U-Amoni wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nambili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka emibili eJerusalema.

Wakha ama -altare endlini kaJehova , uJehova asho ngayo ukuthi : Igama lami liyakuba khona eJerusalema kuze kube phakade.

UManase wadukisa uJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema , baze benza okubi kunabezizwe uJehova abachitha phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

UJosiya wayeneminyaka eyisishiyagalombili ekuqaleni kwak he ukubusa , wabusa iminyaka engamashumi amathathu nanye eJerusalema.

Wayesehamba uHilikiya nabanye benkosi , baya kuHulida umprofethikazi , umkaShalumi indodana kaThokathi kaHasira , umgcinizingubo -- wahlala eJerusalema enxenyeni yesibili -- bakhuluma kuye ngokunjalo.

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.

Wenza ukuba bonke abafunyanwa eJerusalema nakwaBenjamini beme kuso. Abakhileyo eJerusalema benza njengesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu , uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

Wawadiliza ama -altare, waphula o-Ashera nezithombe ezibaziweyo kwaba luthuli, wawanquma onke ama -altare empepho ezweni lonke lakwa -Israyeli, wabuyela eJerusalema.

Bafika kuHilikiya umpristi omkhulu , bayinikeza imali eyayilethwe endlini kaNkulunkulu iqoqwe ngamaLevi, abalindisango, esandleni sakwaManase no- Efrayimi, nakuyo yonke insali yakwa -Israyeli, nakuye wonke uJuda noBenjamini, nakwabakhileyo eJerusalema;

UJosiya wamenzela uJehova iphasika eJerusalema ; balihlaba iphasika ngolweshumi nane lwenyanga yokuqala.

Alenziwanga iphasika elinjengalelo kwa -Israyeli kusukela emihleni kaSamuweli umprofethi , nawo onke amakhosi akwa -Israyeli awenzanga iphasika elinjengalelo elenziwa nguJosiya, nabapristi, namaLevi, naye wonke uJuda no-Israyeli owayekhona, kanye nabakhileyo eJerusalema.

Izinceku zayo zayikhipha enqoleni , zayikhwelisa enqoleni yesibili eyayinayo, zayiyisa eJerusalema ; yafa, yembelwa emathuneni awoyise . Wonke uJuda neJerusalema bamlilela uJosiya.

USedekiya wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nanye ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nanye eJerusalema.

Zonke izikhulu zabapristi nabantu baphambuka kakhulu ngezinengiso zabezizwe, bayingcolisa indlu kaJehova ayingcwelisileyo eJerusalema.

UJehowahazi wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nantathu ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa izinyanga ezintathu eJerusalema.

Usho kanje uKoresi , inkosi yasePheresiya , uthi: U Jehova uNkulunkulu wezulu unginikile yonke imibuso yomhlaba ; ungiyalile ukumakhela indlu eJerusalema lakwaJuda . Noma ngumuphi phakathi kwenu kubo bonke abantu bakhe, uNkulunkulu makabe naye, akhuphuke.

Inkosi yaseGibithe yamsusa eJerusalema, yathelisa izwe amatalenta ayikhulu esiliva netalenta legolide.

UJehoyakimi wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabi li nanhlanu ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa , wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nanye eJerusalema ; wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

UJehoyakini wayeneminyaka eyisishiyagalombili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa izinyanga ezintathu nezinsuku eziyishumi eJerusalema ; wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova.

USolomoni wayeseqala ukwakha indlu kaJehova eJerusalema entabeni yaseMoriya, lapho uJehova abonakala khona kuDavide uyise , nalapho eselungisile khona endaweni kaDavide esibuyeni sika-Orinani umJebusi.

Khona uSolomoni wabutha amalunga akwa -Israyeli, nazo zonke izinhloko zezizwe, izikhulu zawoyise babantwana bakwa -Israyeli eJerusalema ukuba bakhuphule umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova emzini kaDavide oyiSiyoni.

kanye neBalati nayo yonke imizi yokubekelela uSolomoni ayenayo, nayo yonke imizi yezinqola zakhe , nemizi yabamahhashi bakhe , nakho konke uSolomoni ayefisa uku kwakha eJerusalema, naseLebanoni, nasezweni lonke lokubusa kwakhe.

Inkosikazi yaseSheba isizwile udumo lukaSolomoni yeza ukumvivinya uSolomoni eJerusalema ngezimfumbe, inehele elikhulu kakhulu, namakamela ethwele amakha , negolide eliningi , namatshe ayigugu ; isifikile kuSolomoni yakhuluma naye ngakho konke okusenhliziyweni yayo.

USolomoni wayenezipani eziyizinkulungwane ezine zamahhashi nezinqola, nabamahhashi abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili , owababeka emizini yezinqola nasenkosini eJerusalema.

Inkosi yenza isiliva livame eJerusalema njengamatshe, nemisedari yayenza ibe njengemithombe ehlanzeni ngobuningi.

Lapho abantwana bakwa -Amoni bebona ukuthi ama -Aramu abalekile , babaleka nabo phambi kuka-Abishayi, bangena emzini. UJowabe wayesebuya kubantwana bakwa-Amoni, weza eJerusalema.

Emva komnyaka ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kwamakhosi uDavide wamthuma uJowabe nezinceku zakhe zinaye kanye no -Israyeli wonke , babachitha abantwana bakwa-Amoni, bavimbezela iRaba ; kepha uDavide wahlala eJerusalema.

Wayesethi uDavide ku -Uriya: Hlala lapha nanamuhla ; kusasa ngiyakukuvumela ukuba uhambe. U-Uriya wayesehlala eJerusalema lolo suku nolulandelayo.

Wakhipha nabantu ababe phakathi kwawo , wababeka emasaheni , nasezibhuqweni zensimbi, nasemazembeni ensimbi, wabasebenzisa kohonela; wenze njalo kuyo yonke imizi yakwa-Amoni. UDavide nabo bonke abantu babuyela eJerusalema.

Wayesesuka uJowabe wahamba , waya eGeshuri , wamletha u -Abisalomu eJerusalema.

U-Abisalomu wahlala eJerusalema iminyaka emibili epheleleyo , engabuboni ubuso benkosi.

Kwahamba no -Abisalomu abantu abangamakhulu amabili , bebiziwe bephuma eJerusalema; bahamba bemsulwa, bengazi lutho nakanci.

UDavide wayesethi ezincekwini zakhe zonke ezazinaye eJerusalema : Sukani, sibaleke, ngokuba, uma singenzi njalo, akuyikuphunyuka muntu kithi phambi kuka-Abisalomu; sheshani, nimuke, funa asifice masinyane, asehlisele okubi, awuchithe umuzi ngosiko lwenkemba.

Ngalokho oSadoki no-Abiyathara bawubuyisela umphongolo kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, bahlala khona.

UHushayi, umngane kaDavide, wayesengena emzini; u-Abisalomu wangena eJerusalema.

Ngokuba inceku yakho yenza isithembiso ngisahlezi eGeshuri lase -Aramu sokuthi: U ma uJehova engibuyisela impela eJerusalema , ngiyakumkhonza uJehova.

U-Abisalomu nabantu bonke , amadoda akwa -Israyeli, bafika eJerusalema, u-Ahithofeli enabo.

Yayisithi inkosi : Iphi indodana yenkosi yakho na ? USiba wathi enkosini : Bheka, ihlezi eJerusalema , ngokuba yathi : Namuhla indlu ka -Israyeli iyakubuyisela kimi umbuso kababa.

Zase zifika izinceku zika -Abisalomu kowesifazane endlini , zathi: Baphi o - Ahimahasi noJonathani na ? Owesifazane wathi kuzo : Bawuwele umfudlana. Sezibafunile zingabatholanga, zabuyela eJerusalema.

Wathi enkosini : Inkosi yami mayingangibaleli icala , futhi ungakhumbuli okubi okwenziwa yinceku yakho mhla inkosi yami , inkosi, iphuma eJerusalema, ukuba inkosi ikubeke enhliziyweni yayo.

Kwathi esefike eJerusalema ukuyihlangabeza inkosi , inkosi yathi kuye : Awuhambanga ngani nami, Mefibosheti, na?

Inkosi yathi kuBarizilayi: Wela nami wena , ngikondle kanye nami eJerusalema.

Wayesethi uBarizilayi enkosini : Zingaki izinsuku zeminyaka yokuhamba kwami ukuba ngenyukele eJerusalema nenkosi na?

Owesifazane wayeseya ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe kubantu bonke . Bamnquma uSheba indodana kaBikri ikhan da, baliphonsa kuJowabe . Yena wabetha icilongo , bahlakazeka kulowo muzi , baya, kwaba yilowo nalowo etendeni lakhe. UJowabe wabuyela eJerusalema enkosini.

UDavide wafika endlini yakhe eJerusalema ; inkosi yathatha abesifazane abayishumi, izancinza zayo, eyayibashiyile ukuba bayilinde indlu , yababeka endlini yokulindela , yabapha uk udla, kepha ayingenanga kubo . Base bevalelwe kwaze kwaba sosukwini lokufa kwabo, behlezi njengabafelokazi.

Emva kwakhe kwaphuma amadoda kaJowabe , namaKhereti namaPheleti , namaqhawe onke; baphuma eJerusalema ukuba ba mxoshe uSheba indodana kaBikri.

Sebedabule izwe lonke bafika eJerusalema ngasekupheleni kwezinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye nezinsuku ezingamashumi amabili.

UDavide wazithathela ezin ye izancinza nabafazi eJerusalema , esefikile evela eHebroni; uDavide wayesazalelwa amadodana namadodakazi.

Nanka amagama abazalelwa eJerusalema : oShamuwa, noShobabi, noNathani, noSolomoni,

EHebroni wabusa kwaJuda iminyaka eyisikhombisa nezinyanga eziyisithupha; eJerusalema wabusa iminyaka engamashum i amathathu nantathu kwa-Israyeli wonke nakwaJuda.

Inkosi nabantu bayo baya eJerusalema ukulwa namaJebusi ayakhe kulelo zwe; asho kuDavide, athi: Awuyikungena lapha; uyakususwa yizimpumputhe nezinyonga, ecabanga ukuthi uDavide angengene lapha.

UDavide wathatha izihlangu zegolide ezazisezincekwini zikaHadadezeri , waziletha eJerusalema.

UMefibosheti wayesehlala eJerusalema , ngokuba wadla njalo etafuleni lenkosi; wayelunyonga ngezinyawo zakhe zombili.

Abantwana bakwaBenjamini abawaxoshanga amaJebusi ayakhe eJerusalema, kepha amaJebusi ahlala nabantwana bakwaBenjamini eJerusalema kuze kube namuhla.

Wayesethi u -Adoni Bezeki : Amakhosi angamashumi ayisikhombisa enqunyiwe izithupha nawoqukula acosha ukudla kwa wo phansi kwetafula lami; njengalokho ngenzile, kanjalo uNkulunkulu uphindisele kimi . Bamyisa eJerusalema, wafela khona.

ukuze kumenyezelwe eSiyoni igama likaJehova nodumo lwakhe eJerusalema,

UJehova makabongwe eSiyoni, yena owakhe eJerusalema. Haleluya!

Ngenxa yethempeli lakho eJerusalema amakhosi ayakukulethela izipho.

Kwathi ukuba uPetru enyukele eJerusalema, abokusoka baphikisana naye,

Ngalezo zinsuku kwehlela e-Antiyokiya abaprofethi bevela eJerusalema.

Kepha oBarnaba noSawulu babuya eJerusalema sebeqede ukukhonza kwabo, behamba benoJohane othiwa uMarku.

UPawulu nababe naye bamuka ePhafu ngomkhumbi, bafika ePherge lasePhamfiliya; kepha uJohane wahlukana nabo, wabuyela eJerusalema.

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

Wabonwa izinsuku eziningi yibo ababekhuphukele naye eJerusalema bevela eGalile, asebengofakazi bakhe kubantu manje.

Kuthe ukuba kuvele ukuphambana nok uphikisana okukhulu phakathi kwabo noPawulu noBarnaba, banquma ukuba oPawulu noBarnaba nabathile kubo bakhuphukele eJerusalema kubaphostoli namalunga ngaleyo ndaba.

Sebefikile eJerusalema bamukelwa yibandla nabaphostoli namalunga , bakubika konke uNkulunkulu abekwenzile ngabo.

Kwathi ukuba sezenzekile lezo zinto , uPawulu wazimisela emoyeni uku ya eJerusalema esedabulile iMakedoniya ne -Akhaya, wathi: Emva kokufika kwami khona ngimelwe ukubona neRoma.

Khona babuyela eJerusalema bevela entabeni ethiwa eyemiNqumo eseduze neJerusalema, ibanga lohambo lwesabatha.

kwaziwa yibo bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema , yaze yaqanjwa leyo nsimu ngolimi lwakubo ngokuthi i-Akeldama, okungukuthi iNsimu Yegazi.

kwathi ehlangene nabo , wabayala ngokuthi : Ningamuki eJerusalema , kodwa nihlalele isithembiso sikaYise enasizwa ngami.

kodwa nizakwamukeliswa amandla , uMoya oNgcwele esefikile phezu kwenu, nibe ngofakazi bami eJerusalema , naseJudiya lonke , naseSamariya kuze kube sekugcineni komhlaba.

Ngokuba uPawulu wayezimisele ukudlula e -Efesu ngomkhumbi ukuze angalibali isikhath i e -Asiya; ngokuba wayekhawulezela ukuba , uma kungenzeka, abe khona eJerusalema ngosuku lwePhentekoste. UPawulu uvalelisa kwabase-Efesu eMilethu

Kepha manje , bhekani, mina sengiya eJerusalema ngiboshiwe emoyeni , ngingakwazi okuzakungehlela khona,

yena wafika kithi , wathatha uqhotho lukaPawulu , wazibopha izinyawo nezandla, wathi: Usho njalo uMoya oNgcwele , uthi: U muntu olungolwakhe lolu qhotho abaJuda bazakumbopha kanje eJerusalema , bamkhaphele ezandleni zabezizwe.

Sesikuzwile lokho samncenga thina kanye nabakuleyo nd awo ukuba angakhuphukeli eJerusalema.

Khona uPawulu waphendula wathi : Nenzelani ukukhala nichoboza inhliziyo yami na ? Ngokuba sengilungele , kungesikho ukuboshwa kuphela kepha nokufa eJerusalema ngenxa yegama leNkosi uJesu.

Emva kwalezo zinsuku sabopha impahla, sakhuphukela eJerusalema;

Sesifinyelele eJerusalema, abazalwane basamukela ngokujabula.

Safumana abafundi , sahlala khona izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ; bona bathi ngoMoya kuPawulu, angalubeki unyawo eJerusalema.

Kwathi sengibuyele eJerusalema , ngikhuleka ethempeli ni, ngehlelwa yisiyezi,

ngambona; wathi kimi : Khawuleza uphume masinyane eJerusalema , ngokuba abazukwamukela ubufakazi bakho ngami.

njengokuba nompristi omkhulu ufakaza ngami namalunga onke ; ngamukela kubo izincwadi ezilotshelwe abazalwane , ngaya eDamaseku ukuba nababe khona lapho ngibayise eJerusalema beboshiwe, ukuze bajeziswe.

Ngobusuku obu landelayo iNkosi yema ngakuye , yathi: Yima isibindi ; njengalokho ufakaze ngami eJerusalema , ngokunjalo umelwe ukufakaza naseRoma. Icebo labaJuda lokumbulala uPawulu

futhi ungaqonda ukuthi akungaphezu kwezinsuku eziyishumi nambili ngikhuphukile ukuyokhuleka eJerusalema;

Kwathi uFestu engenile esikhundleni , wasuka eKesariya emva kwezinsuku ezintathu, wenyukela eJerusalema;

Kuthe mina ngisakhohliwe ukuthi leyo n daba ngizakuyihlola kanjani , ngathi angathanda yini ukuya eJerusalema ukuba ahlulelwe khona ngalezo zinto.

UFestu wathi : Nkosi, Agripha, nani nonke nina madoda enikhona lapha kanye nathi , niyambona lona oluze ngaye kimi lonke uquqaba lwabaJuda eJerusalema nalapha, lumemeza luthi akafanele ukuba abe esaphila.

bazicelela umusa ngaye wokuba ambizele eJerusalema , becebile ukumqamekela ukuba bambulale endleleni.

Esefikile yena, abaJuda ababehlile eJerusalema bema bemhaqile , bembeka amacala amaningi anzima, abangenakuwaqinisa,

Kepha uFestu ethanda ukubongwa ngabaJuda , wamphendula uPawulu , wathi: Uyathanda yini ukwenyukela eJerusalema, wahlulelwe khona phambi kwami ngalezi zinto, na? UPawulu ufuna ukwahlulelwa nguKesari

lokho ngase ngikwenza -ke eJerusalema ; mina ngabafaka abaningi kwabangcwele ematilongw eni, ngiwatholile amandla kubapristi abakhulu , nalapho bebulawa ngabalahla ngevoti lami.

Kwathi emva kwezinsuku ezintathu wabizela ndawonye kuye abakhulu babaJuda; sebebuthene, wathi kubo : Madoda, bazalwame, noma mina ngingenzanga lutho oluphambene nesizwe namasiko awobaba , nokho ngasuswa eJerusalema ngiyisiboshwa, nganikelwa ezandleni zamaRoma;

Wayesesukuma uPetru nabayishumi nanye , waphakamisa izwi lakhe, waphumisela wathi kubo : Madoda akwaJuda nani nonke enakhileyo eJerusalema, makwazeke lokhu kini, nibeke indlebe emazwini ami.

Kepha kwakukhona abaJuda abakhile eJerusalema , amadoda akholwayo , evela ezizweni zonke eziphansi kwezulu;

bathi: Sizakubenzani laba bantu na ? Ngokuba kusobala kubo bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema ukuthi isibonakaliso esiqhamileyo senziwe yibo , asinakukuphika.

Kwathi ngangomuso kwabuthana eJerusalema ababusi namalunga nababhali babo,

Kuthe sebefakazile , belikhulumile izwi leNkosi , babuyela eJerusalema , bashumayela ivangeli emizaneni eminingi yabaseSamariya. Ukuphenduka kwenduna yase-Etiyopiya

Kepha ingelosi yeNkosi yakhuluma kuFiliphu , yathi: Suka uye ngaseningizimu endleleni ephuma eJerusalema ehlela eGaza; yona iyihlane.

Wayesesuka wahamba . Bheka, nansi indoda yase -Etiyopiya, umthenwa, isikhulu sikaKhandakhe inkosikazi yase-Etiyopiya, ebiphezu kwengcebo yayo yonke, ebifikile eJerusalema izakukhuleka;

Kepha u -Ananiya waphendula wathi : Nkosi, ngizwile ngabaningi ngaleyo ndoda konke okubi ekwenzile kwabangcwele bakho eJerusalema;

wacela kuye izincwadi zokuya eD amaseku emasinagogeni, kuze kuthi uma efumana abantu baleyo Ndlela , abesilisa nabesifazane, abayise eJerusalema beboshiwe.

Kepha bamangala bonke abezwayo , bathi: Lo asiye yini owachitha eJerusalema abakhuleka kulelo gama, nalapha uze ngalokhu ukuba abaqhube beboshiwe kubapristi abakhulu na?

Esefikile eJerusalema wazama ukuzihlanganisa nabafundi ; kepha bonke bamesaba, bengakholwa ukuthi ungumfundi.

Wayenabo eJerusalema, engena ephuma, eshumayela ngesibindi ngegama leNkosi,

futhi angenyukelanga eJerusalema kubona ababe ngabaphostoli ngaphambi kwami, kodwa ngamuka ngaya e-Arabiya, ngaphinda ngabuyela eDamaseku.

Kwathi e mva kweminyaka emithathu ngenyukela eJerusalema ukubona uKhefase; ngahlala kuye izinsuku eziyishumi nanhlanu.

Kwathi emva kweminyaka eyishumi nane ngabuye ngenyukela eJerusalema kanye noBarnaba, ngithatha noThithu futhi.

ngamandla ezibonakaliso nezimangaliso, ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele , njengokuba ngasuka eJerusalema , ngazungeza ngaze ngafika e -Iliriku, ngishumayela ivangeli likaKristu ngokupheleleyo.

kepha manje ngisaya eJerusalema ngiyokhonza abangcwele.

ukuze ngihlanguliswe kwabangakholwayo baseJudiya nokuba lokho engikhonza ngakho eJerusalema kwamukeleke kahle kwabangcwele,

Khona kwakungumkhosi wokuhlanjululwa kwethem peli eJerusalema , kusebusika.

Lase liseduze iPhasika labaJuda ; abaningi abavela emaphandleni bakhuphukela eJerusalema ngaphambi kwePhasika ukuba bazihlambulule.

ngokuba ngenxa yakhe abaningi babaJuda bamuka bakholwa nguJesu. UJesu ungena eJerusalema (Math. 21:1; Mark. 11:1; Luk. 19:29)

Ngangomuso abantu abaningi abafike emkhosini sebezwile ukuthi uJesu uyeza eJerusalema,

Lokhu kungubufakazi bukaJohane mhla abaJuda bethuma abapristi namaLevi bephuma eJerusalema ukuba bambuze ukuthi: Wena ungubani na?

Lalisondele iPhasika labaJuda; uJesu wakhuphukela eJerusalema.

Kuthe-ke ukuba afike eGalile , abaseGalile bamamukela bebone konke akwenzayo eJerusalema emkhosini; ngokuba nabo babezile emkhosini. Ukuphiliswa kwendodana yenduna yaseKapernawume

Emva kwalokho kwakukhona umkhosi wabaJuda ; uJesu wakhuphukela eJerusalema.

Kukhona-ke eJerusalema ngasesangweni lezimvu ichibi elithiwa ngesiHeberu iBethesda, linemipheme eyisihlanu.

UJesu waphendula wathi : Umuntu othile wehla eJerusalema eya eJeriko ; watheleka phakathi kwezigcwelegcwele , zamhlubula izingubo , zamshaya, zamuka zimshiya umndondo nje.

Wayesedlula, wahamba imizi ngemizi nemizana ngemizana , efundisa, eqonde eJerusalema.

Nalabo abayishumi nesishiyagalombili owawela phezu kwabo umbhoshongo waseSilowama, wababulala, nithi bona babe namacala kunabantu bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema na?

Kwathi esehamba ukuya eJerusalema, wadabula iSamariya neGalile.

Wayesebasondeza kuye abayishumi nambili , wathi kubo : Bhekani, sikhuphukela eJerusalema ; konke okulotshwe ngabaprofethi ngeNdodana yomuntu kuyakugcwaliseka.

Eseshilo lokho waqhubekela phambili, wakhuphukela eJerusalema. UJesu ungena eJerusalema (Math. 21:1; Mark. 11:1; Joh. 12:12)

Esethole ukwazi ukuthi ungowesifunda sikaHerode , wamthumela kuHerode owayekhona naye eJerusalema ngalezo zinsuku.

Omunye, nguKleyophase igama lakhe , waphendula, wathi kuye : Wena uyisihambi eJerusalema , ungoyedwa ongazazi izinto ezenzekileyo kho na ngalezi zinsuku na?

Base besuka ngasona leso sikhathi , baphindela eJerusalema , bafumana abayishumi nanye nababe nabo behlangene ndawonye,

kushunyayelwe egameni lakhe ukuphenduka , kube ngukuthethelelwa kwezono ezizweni zonke, kuqalwe eJerusalema.

Bakhuleka kuye, baphindela eJerusalema benokuthokoza okukhulu.

Kwathi ukuba kuphel ele izinsuku zokuhlanjululwa kwabo ngokomthetho kaMose, benyukela naye eJerusalema ukuba bammise phambi kweNkosi

Bheka, kwakukhona umuntu eJerusalema ogama lakhe linguSimeyoni ; lo muntu wayelungile , emesaba uNkulunkulu , ebhekile induduzo ka -Israyeli; noMoya oNgcwele wayephezu kwakhe.

Abazali bakhe baya eJerusalema iminyaka yonke ngomkhosi wePhasika.

Sebeziqedile izinsuku , ekubuyeni kwabo , umntwana uJesu wasala eJerusalema, abazali bakhe bengazi.

Bengamtholi babuyela eJerusalema, bemfuna.

Wayesemholela eJerusalema, wammisa esiqongweni sethempeli, wathi kuye: Uma uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ziphonse phansi lapha,

abonakala ngenkazimulo , akhuluma ngokumuka kwakhe abemelwe ukukufeza eJerusalema.

Kwathi sezizakuphelela izinsuku zokwenyuswa kwakhe , wabhekisa ubuso bakhe ukuya eJerusalema.

Kepha awamamukelanga, ngokuba ubuso bakhe babubheke eJerusalema.

Babesendleleni bekhuphukela eJerusalema ; uJesu wayehamba phambi kwabo; ababelandela babethukile , besaba. Wayesethatha futhi abayishumi nambili, waqala ukubatshela okuzakumehlela, ethi:

Bhekani, sikhuphukela eJerusalema; iNdodana yomuntu izakukhashelwa kubapristi abakhulu nababhali ; bazakuyinqumela ukuba ife , bayikhaphele kwabezizwe;

Kwathi ukuba basondele eJerusalema , naseBetfage, naseBethaniya ngaseNtabeni Yeminqumo, wathuma ababili kubafundi bakhe,

UJesu wangena eJerusalema , waya ethempelini ; esekubukile konke waphuma, sekuhlwile, waya eBethaniya kanye nabayishumi nambili. Ukuqalekiswa komkhiwane (Math. 21:18; Luk. 19:45)

Bafika eJerusalema. Wangena ethempelini, waqala ukuxosha abathengisayo nabathengayo ethempelini , wagumbuqela amatafula abashintshelana imali nezihlalo zabathengisa ngamajuba;

Babuye bafika eJerusalema ; kwathi ehamba ethempelini , beza kuye abapristi abakhulu, nababhali, namalunga,

ababemlandela eseseGalile , bemkhonza, nabanye abesifazane abaningi abenyukela naye eJerusalema. Ukumbelwa kukaJesu (Math. 27:57; Luk. 23:50; Joh. 19:38)

Nababhali abehla bevela eJerusalema bathi : UnoBelzebule, ukhipha amademoni ngombusi wamademoni.

Kwabuthana kuye abaFarisi nabanye bababhali bevela eJerusalema.

Khona abaFarisi nababhali bafika kuJesu bevela eJerusalema, bathi:

Kusukela kuleso sikhathi uJesu waqala ukubonisa abafundi bakhe ukuba umelwe ukuya eJerusalema, ahlushwe ngokuningi ngamalunga nangabapristi abakhulu nababhali, abulawe, kepha avuswe ngosuku lwesithathu.

Kwathi uJesu esezakwenyukela eJerusalema , wathatha abafundi abayishumi nambili, wagudluka nabo; besesendleleni, wathi kubo:

Bhekani, sikhuphukela eJerusalema ; iNdodana yomuntu izakukhashelwa kubapristi abakhulu nababhali; bazakuyinqumela ukuba ife,

Kwathi ukuba basondele eJerusalema , sebefikile eBetfage ngaseNtabeni Yeminqumo, uJesu wathuma abafundi ababili,

Kwathi esangena eJerusalema , umuzi wonke wanyakaza , wathi: Ngubani lo?

UJesu esezelwe eBetlehema laseJudiya emihleni kaHerode inkosi , bheka, kwafika izazi eJerusalema, zivela empumalanga, zithi:

owayethunjiwe eJerusalema kanye nabathu njwa ababethunjwe noJekoniya , inkosi yakwaJuda, owathunjwa nguNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele.

Bathumela izwi kwaJuda naseJerusalema kubo bonke abathunjwa ukuba babuthane eJerusalema

Bonke abantu bakwaJuda nabakwaBenjamini babuthana eJerusalema ngezinsuku ezintathu ; kwakuyinyanga yesishiyagalolunye , ngolwamashumi amabili lwenyanga ; bonke abantu bahlala esigcawini ngaphambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu bethuthumela ngale ndaba nangemvula enkulu.

Zonke izitsha zegolide nezesiliva zaziyizinkulungwane eziyisihlanu namakhulu amane. Zonke lezo uSheshebasari wazikhuphula ekukhushulweni kwabathunjwa eBabele ukuya eJerusalema.

Usho kanje uKoresi inkosi yasePheresiya , uthi: UJehova uNkulunkulu wezulu unginikile yonke imibuso yomhlaba ; ungiyalile ukumakhela indlu eJerusalema lakwaJuda.

Noma ngumuphi phakathi kwenu kubo bonke abant u bakhe, uNkulunkulu wakhe makabe naye , akhuphukele eJerusalema lakwaJuda , akhe indlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena onguNkulunkulu waseJerusalema.

UKoresi inkosi wakhipha izinto zendlu kaJehova , uNebukadinesari ayezikhiphile eJerusalema wazibeka endlini yawonkulunkulu bakhe,

Nampa abantwana bezwe abakhuphuka ekuthunjweni kwababethunjiw e bayiswa eBabele nguNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele , babuyela eJerusalema nakwaJuda, kwaba yilowo nalowo emzini wakubo,

Lapho isisondela inyanga yesikhombisa , abantwana bakwa -Israyeli besemizini, abantu babuthana eJerusalema njengomuntu munye.

Ngomnyaka wesibili wokufika kwabo endli ni kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema ngenyanga yesibili uZerubabele , indodana kaSheyalitiyeli , noJeshuwa indodana kaJosadaki, nensali yabafowabo abapristi , namaLevi, nabo bonke abafike eJerusalema bevela ekuthunjweni baqala ukumisa amaLevi, kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabili kuya phezulu ukuba babonise umsebenzi wendlu kaJehova.

Makwazeke enkosini ukuthi abaJuda abakhuphuka kuwe sebefikile kithi eJerusalema; bayawakha umuzi ohlubukileyo nonengekayo ; sebeyakuqeda izingange, bahlanganise izisekelo.

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

Ngalokho uma kukuhle enkosini , makucingwe endlini yengcebo yenkosi elapho eBabele ukuba kunjalo yini ukuthi uKoresi inkosi wakhipha isimemezelo soku ba kwakhiwe le ndlu kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema ; inkosi mayithume kithi inhloso yayo ngalokho.

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

Kwakhuphuka nabanye abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, nabapristi, namaLevi, nabahlabeleli, nabalindisango, namaNethini, baya eJerusalema ngomnyaka wesikhombisa ka-Aritahishashita inkosi.

Wafika eJerusalema ngenyanga yesihlanu ngomnyaka wesikhombisa wenkosi.

Base bamukela abapristi namaLevi okulinganisiweyo , isiliva negolide nezitsha, ukuba bakuyise eJerusalema endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu.

Safika eJerusalema, sahlala khona izinsuku ezintathu.

ngiyakumembathisa ingubo yakho, ngimqinise ngebhande lakho, nginikeze ukubusa kwakho esandleni sakhe , abe nguyise kwabakhileyo eJerusalema nakuyo indlu yakwaJuda.

Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku libethwe icilongo elikhulu , kufike ababelahlekile ezweni lase-Asiriya nabaxoshiweyo ezweni laseGibithe, bakhuleke kuJehova entabeni engcwele eJerusalema.

Abantu abaningi bayakuhamba , bathi: Wozani sikhuphukele entabeni kaJehova endlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe ; uyakusifundisa izindlela zakhe , sihambe emikhondweni yakhe, ngokuba umthetho uyakuvela eSiyoni , nezwi likaJehova eJerusalema.

Ngokuba wena sizwe esakhe eSiyoni eJerusalema ungabe usakhala nokukhala; uyakuba nomusa impela kuwe ngezwi lokudazuluka kwakho ; lapho elizwa, uyakuphendula.

Inkosi yase-Asiriya yathuma uRabi Shake , asuke eLakishi, aye eJerusalema enkosini uHezekiya , enempi enkulu , wema ngasemseleni wechibi lasenhla , elingasendleleni yeNsimu Yomhlanzi.

Ngokuba kuyakuphuma eJerusalema insal i nasentabeni yaseSiyoni abayakusinda; ukushisekela kukaJehova Sebawoti kuyakufeza lokho.

Ngokuba bheka, iNkosi uJehova Sebawot i iyasusa eJerusalema nakwaJuda uzime nodondolo, lonke uzime lwesinkwa nalo lonke uzime lwamanzi:

Kuyakuthi yena oshiyiwe eSiyoni naye osele eJerusalema , bathiwe bangcwele, bonke abalotshelwe ukuphila eJerusalema,

Manje nina enakhileyo eJerusalema namadoda akwaJuda , ake nahlulele phakathi kwami nesivini sami.

Njengoduduzwa ngunina , kanjalo ngiyakuniduduza nina , niduduzeke eJerusalema.

Bayakuletha bonke a bafowenu bebakhipha ezizweni zonke ngamahhashi, nangezinqola, nangezinhlaka, nangeminyuzi, nangamakamela, babe ngumnikelo kaJehova , beze entabeni yami engcwele eJerusalema , usho uJehova, njengalokhu abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bewuletha umnikelo wabo ngesitsha esihlambulukileyo endlini kaJehova.

Kwathi ezinsukwini zik a-Ahazi indodana kaJothamu ka -Uziya, inkosi yakwaJuda, uResini inkosi yase-Aramu noPheka indodana kaRemaliya, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, bakhuphukela eJerusalema ukulwa nalo , kepha babengenakulinqoba.

Uyakuba ngokungcwele, futhi abe yitshe lokukhubekisa, nedwala lokuwisa kuzo izindlu zombili zakwa-Israyeli, abe lugibe nesihibe kwabakhileyo eJerusalema.

Ngomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kukaJehoyakimi , inkosi yakwaJuda , kwafika uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, eJerusalema, walivimbezela.

UDaniyeli esekwazi ukuthi umbhalo ulotshiwe, wangena endlini yakhe amafasitele ekamelo lakhe ayevulekile ebhekisa eJerusalema waguqa ngamadolo kathathu ngosuku , wakhuleka, wabonga uNkulunku lu wakhe , njengalokho enzile kuqala.

Kuwena Nkosi kukhona ukulunga , kepha kithina a mahloni obuso njenganamuhla: kubantu bakwaJuda , nakwabakhileyo eJerusalema, nakuye wonke u-Israyeli, abaseduze nabakude , kuwo onke amazwe obahlakazele kuwo ngenxa yezeqo zabo abeqe ngazo kuwe.

Ndodana yomuntu, abafowenu, yebo, abafowenu abayizihlobo zakho nayo yonke indlu yakwa -Israyeli, bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema abashilo kubo ukuthi: Dedani kuJehova; leli zwe linikiwe thina libe yifa.

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.

Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Kakhulu kangakanani , lapho ngithuma eJerusalema izahlulelo zami ezine ezimbi, inkemba, nendlala, nezilwane ezesabekayo, nesifo ukuba nginqume kulo abantu nezilwane, na?

Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Njengomuthi womvini phakathi kwemithi yasehlathini engiwunike umlilo ukuba uq edwe, kanjalo ngiyakunikela abakhileyo eJerusalema.

Thana kuyo indlu ehlubukayo: Anazi ukuthi lezi zinto ziyini? Yisho ukuthi: Bheka, inkosi yaseBabele yafika eJerusalema, yathatha inkosi yalo nezikhulu zalo, yabayisa kuyo eBabele.

Misa indlela yokufika kwenkemba eRaba labantwana bakwa -Amoni nakwaJuda eJerusalema elibiyelweyo.

Kwathi ngomnyaka weshu mi nambili wokuthunjwa kwethu , ngenyanga yeshumi, ngolwesihlanu lwenyanga , kwafika kimi ophunyukileyo eJerusalema, wathi: Umuzi unqotshiwe.

Wathi futhi kimi : Ndodana yomuntu , bheka, ngiyakwaphula uzime lwesinkwa eJerusalema, badle isinkwa ngesilinganiso ngokwesaba , baphuze amanzi ngesilinganiso ngokumangala

Wayeselula kungathi isandla , wangibamba ngesihluthu sekhanda lami ; uMoya wangiphakamisa phakathi komhlaba nezulu , wangiyisa ngemibono kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema esivalweni sesango legceke elingaphakathi elibheke ngasenyakatho , lapho kwakukho na isihlalo sesithombe somhawu , esibanga umhawu.

Imizi yakwaJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema bayakukha la konkulunkulu ababashisela impepho , kepha abayikubasindisa neze ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka kwabo.

Zwanini amazwi alesi sivumelwano , nikhulume kubantu bakwaJuda nakwabakhileyo eJerusalema,

Wayesethi uJehova kimi : Kufunyenwe uzungu phakathi kwabantu bakwaJuda naphakathi kwabakhileyo eJerusalema.

Uyakusho kubo, uthi: U sho kanje uJehova , uthi: Bheka, ngiyakugcwalisa ngokudakwa bonke abakhileyo kuleli zwe, namakhosi ahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide , nabapristi, nabaprofethi, nabo bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema.

Ngiyakubenza ukuba bahlupheke emibusweni yonke yomhlaba ngenxa kaManase indodana kaHezekiya , inkosi yakwaJuda , ngalokho akwenza eJerusalema.

uthi kuwo : Zwanini izwi likaJehova nina makhosi akwaJuda , noJuda wonke, nani nonke enakhileyo eJerusalema eningena ngalawa masango;

kungene ngamasango alo muzi amakhosi nezikhulu a bahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide bekhwele izinqola namahhashi , bona nezikhulu zabo , abantu bakwaJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema , nalo muzi uyakuhlala kuze kube phakade.

Manje yisho kubantu bakwaJuda nakwabakhileyo eJerusalema , uthi: Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Bhekani, nginibumbela okubi , ngiceba icebo ngani ; buyani, kube yil owo nalowo endleleni yakhe embi , nizenze izindlela zenu nezenzo zenu zibe zinhle.

uthi: Zwanini izwi likaJehova nina makhosi akwaJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema; usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Bhekani, ngiyakwehlisela okubi phezu kwale ndawo , nabo bonke abakuzwayo, izindlebe zabo ziyakunkeneneza ngakho.

UJehova wangibonisa amaqoma amabili amakhiw ane ebekwe phambi kwethempeli likaJehova , uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele , esethumbile uJekoniya indodana kaJehoyakimi, inkosi yakwaJuda, nezikhulu zakwaJuda, nezinyanga zomsebenzi , nabakhandi, wabasusa eJerusalema , wabayisa eBabele.

alikhulumayo uJeremiya umprofethi kubo bonke abantu bakwaJuda nakubo bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema, ethi:

angazithathanga uNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele ekuthumbeni kwakhe uJekoniya indodana kaJehoyakimi, inkosi yakwaJuda, eJerusalema, wamyisa eBabele nabakhulu bonke bakwaJuda nabaseJerusalema;

ukuthume enkosini yakwa -Edomi, nasenkosini yakwaMowabi , nasenkosini yabantwana bakwa-Amoni, nasenkosini yaseTire , nasenkosini yaseSidoni ngesandla sezithunywa ezifika eJerusalema kuSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda,

Nanka amazwi encwadi uJeremiya , umprofethi, ayithumayo eseJerusalema kuyo insali yamalunga athunjiweyo , nakubapristi, nakubaprofethi, nakubo bonke abantu ayebathumbile uNebukadinesari eJerusalema , wabayisa eBabele,

sebesukile uJekoniya inkosi , nendlovukazi, nabathenwa, nezikhulu zakwaJuda nezaseJerusalema , nezinyanga zomsebenzi , nabakhandi eJerusalema,

Kepha yizwani manje izwi likaJehova nina nonke bathunjwa, enginithumile eBabele niphuma eJerusalema.

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.

UJeremiya umprofethi wayesekhuluma onke lawo mazwi kuSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda eJerusalema,

Kwathi lapho uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, enyukele ezweni, sathi: Siyakuya nokuya eJerusalema , sisuke empini yamaKaledi nasempini yama - Aramu. Sase sakha-ke eJerusalema.

Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka - Israyeli, uthi: Bheka, ngiyakwehlisela phezu kukaJuda naphezu kwabo bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema konke okubi engikukhulume kubo , ngokuba ngikhulumile kubo kepha kabalalelanga, ngibabizile kepha kabaphendulanga.

Ngiyakumjezisa yena nenzalo yak he nezinceku zakhe ngokona kwabo , ngehlisele phezu kwabo , naphezu kwabakhileyo eJerusalema , naphezu kwabantu bakwaJuda konke okubi engikukhulume ngabo , bengalalelanga kodwa.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wesihlanu kaJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya , inkosi yakwaJuda, ngenyanga yesishiyagalolunye bonke abantu baseJerusalema nabo bonke abantu ababevela emizini yakwaJuda beza eJerusalema , bamemezela ukuzila ukudla phambi kukaJehova.

Kwathi lapho impi yamaKaledi isikhuphukile eJerusalema ngokwesaba impi kaFaro,

uJeremiya waphuma eJerusalema ukuba aye ezweni lakwaBenjamini ukuthola khona isabelo sakhe phakathi kwabantu.

Impi kaFaro yayisiphumile eGibithe ; lapho amaKaledi avimbezela iJerusalema ekuzwa, akhuphuka eJerusalema.

Kwathi lapho iJerusalema selinqotshiwe ngomnyaka wesishiyagalolunye kaSedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda , ngenyanga yeshumi kwafika uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele , nempi yakhe yonke eJerusalema , walivimbezela;

Ngalolo suku bayakulibiza iJerusalema ngokuthi isihlalo sobukhosi sikaJehova; izizwe zonke ziyakubuthana kulo , kulo igama likaJehova eJerusalema; azisayikuhamba ngenkani yezinhliziyo zazo ezimbi.

Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Njengalokhu intukuthelo yami nokufutheka kwami kuthululelwe phezu kwabakhileyo eJerusalema , kanjalo ukufutheka kwami kuyakuthululelwa phezu kwenu , nxa nin gena eGibithe , nibe yisithuko , nesimangaliso nesiqalekiso, nehlazo, ningabe nisayibona le ndawo.

Zisokeleni kuJehova , nisuse amajwabu ezinhliziyo zen u nina bantu bakwaJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema , funa ukufutheka kwami kuphume njengomlilo, kuvuthe, kungabikho ongakucima, ngenxa yobubi bezenzo zenu.

Khulumani kwaJuda , nizwakalise eJerusalema, nithi: Bethani amacilongo ezweni, nimemeze nithi: Buthanani, singene emizini ebiyelweyo.

USedekiya wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nanye ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nanye eJerusalema ; igama likanina lalinguHamuthali indodakazi kaJeremiya waseLibina.

Ngenyanga yesihlanu , ngolweshumi lwenyanga okwakungumnyaka weshumi nesishiyag alolunye wenkosi uNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele , kwafika uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi , inceku yenkosi yaseBabele , eJerusalema.

nangomnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili kaNebukadinesari wathumba eJerusalema abantu abangamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili namashumi amathathu nambili.

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

Kwathi ngomnyaka wesishiyagalolunye wokubusa kwakhe ngenyanga yeshumi, ngolweshumi lwenyanga , kwafika uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, yena nayo yonke impi yakhe , eJerusalema, wamisa malungana nalo, bakha inqaba ngakulo nxazonke.

Ngaleso sikhathi , usho uJehova , bayakuwakhipha amathambo amakhosi akwaJuda, namathambo ezikhulu zakhe, namathambo abapristi namathambo abaprofethi, namathambo abakhileyo eJerusalema emathuneni abo,

AmaJebusi ayakhe eJerusalema abantwana bakwaJuda babengenakuwaxosha, kepha amaJebusi ahlala nabantwana bakwaJuda eJerusalema kuze kube namuhla.

Izizwe eziningi ziyakuhamba , zithi: Wozani sikhuphukele entabeni kaJehova nasendlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe; uyakusifundisa izindlela zakhe, sihambe emikhondweni yakhe, ngokuba umthetho uyakuvela eSiyoni , nezwi likaJehova eJerusalema.

Izinduna zabantu zahlala eJerusalema ; abantu abaseleyo benza inkatho ukuyisa omunye kwabayishumi njalo ukuba ahlale eJ erusalema, umuzi ongcwele, nabayisishiyagalolunye kweminye imizi.

Abantu babusisa bonke abantu ababezinikela ngenhliziyo ukuhlala eJerusalema.

Umbonisi wamaLevi eJerusalema kwakungu -Uzi kaBani , kaHashabiya, kaMathaniya, kaMika wamadodana ka -Asafa, abahlabeleli, engumphathi womsebenzi wendlu kaNkulunkulu.

Nazi izinhloko zezwe ezazihlala eJerusalema ; kepha emizini yakwaJuda bahlala emizini yabo , kwaba yilowo nalowo efeni lakhe : abakwa-Israyeli, nabapristi, namaLevi, namaNethini, nabantwana bezinceku zikaSolomoni.

EJerusalema kwahlala abantwana abathile bakwaJuda nabakwaBenjamini . Kubantwana bakwaJuda : ngu-Athaya ka -Uziya, kaZakariya, ka-Amariya, kaShefathiya, kaMahalalele wabantwana bakwaPheresi,

Onke amadodana kaPheresi ahlala eJerusalema ayengamadoda anamandla angamakhulu amane namashumi ayisithupha nesishiyagalombili.

Ekuhlanjululweni kogange lwaseJerusalema bafuna amaLevi ezindaweni zawo zonke ukuba ayiswe eJerusalema ukwenza ukuhlambulula ngokuthokoza, nangokubonga, nangokuhlabelela ngamasimbali nangezingubhu nangamahabhu.

Ngalezo zinsuku ngabona kwaJuda abanyathela izikhamo zewayini ngesabatha nabaletha izithungu zamabele , bethwesa izimbongolo, newayini, nezithelo zewayini , namakhiwane, nemithwalo yonke , bekungenisa eJerusalema ngosuku lwesabatha ; ngabaxwayisa ngosuku abathengisa ngalo lokho kudla.

Kepha kukho konke lokh o ngangingekho eJerusalema, ngokuba ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nambili ka -Aritahishashita inkosi yaseBabele ngaya enkosini; nangasekugcineni kwezinsuku ngacela enkosini,

ngaya eJerusalema , ngaqonda okubi u -Eliyashibi akwenzele uThobiya ngokumlungisela ikamelo emagcekeni endlu kaNkulunkulu.

Ngase ngifika eJerusalema, ngahlala khona izinsuku ezintathu.

Ngase ngibabuyisela amazwi , ngathi kubo : UNkulunkulu wezulu uyakusiphumelelisa; ngalokho thina zinceku zakhe siyakusuka sakhe, kepha nina aninasabelo, nalungelo, nasikhumbuzo eJerusalema.

Futhi ubekile abaprofethi ukuba bashumayele ngawe eJerusalema ukuthi uyinkosi kwaJuda. Njengokuba lawo mazwi eyakuzwakala enkosini, mawuze, silulekane.

Ngathi kubo : Amasango aseJerusalema mawangavulwa lize lishise ilanga ; besemi, mabavale izivalo , baziqinise; bekani abalindi kwabakhileyo eJerusalema, kube yilowo nalowo emlindweni wakhe, yilowo abe malungana nendlu yakhe.

Nampa abantwana bezwe abakhuphuka ekuthunjweni kubo ababethunjwe nguNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele , babuyela eJerusalema nakwaJuda , kwaba yilowo nalowo emzini wakubo,

Ngiyakuthululela phezu kwendlu kaDavide naphezu kwabakhileyo eJerusalema umoya womusa nowokunxusa , bambheke abamgwazileyo , bamlilele njengokulilela ozelwe yedwa , babe nomunyu ngaye njengonomunyu ngezibulo lakhe.

Ngalolo suku kuyakuba khona uku lila okukhulu eJerusalema njengokulila kweHadadi Rimoni esigodini saseMegidoni.

Ababusi bakwaJuda bayakusho ezinhliziyweni zabo ukuthi : Abakhileyo eJerusalema bangamandla ami kuJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu wabo.

Ngalolo suku ngiyakwenza ababusi bakwaJuda babe ngumcengezi womlilo phakathi kwemithi nobhaqa lomlilo phakathi kwezithungu ; bayakuqeda bonke abantu n xazonke ngakwesokunene nangakwesokhohlo , iJerusalema libe lisahlala endaweni yalo eJerusalema.

UJehova uyakusindisa amatende akwaJuda kuqala , ukuze udumo lwendlu yakwaDavide nodumo lwabakhileyo eJerusalema lungakhuliswa phezu kukaJuda.

Ngalolo suku uJe hova uyakulondoloza abakhileyo eJerusalema ; okhubekayo phakathi kwabo ngalolo suku uyakuba njengoDavide , indlu kaDavide ibe njengoNkulunkulu, njengengelosi kaJehova ngaphambi kwabo.

Ngalolo suku kuyakuba khona umthombo ovulelwa izono nokungcola kwendlu kaDavide nabakhileyo eJerusalema.

NoJuda uyakulwa eJerusalema , kubuthwe ingcebo yazo zonke izizwe ezizungezileyo, igolide, nesiliva, nezambatho, kube kuningi kakhulu.

Kuyakuthi abangakhuphuki emindenini yomhlaba , baye eJerusalema ukukhuleka eNkosini uJehova Sebawoti, phezu kwabo kungabi yimvula.

Onke amakhanzi eJerusalema nakwaJuda ayakwahlukaniselwa uJehova Sebawoti; bonke abahlabayo bayakufika , bathathe kuwo , bapheke kuwo , kungabe kusabakho mthengisi ngalolo suku endlini kaJehova Sebawoti.

Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku kuphum e amanzi aphilayo eJerusalema, inxenye yawo ngaselwandle lwasempumalanga , inxenye yawo ngaselwandle lwasentshonalanga, kube sehlobo nasebusika.

Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngiyakubuyela eJerusalema ngomusa, indlu yami yakhiwe kulo , usho uJ ehova Sebawoti , kwelulwe umucu wokulinganisa phezu kweJerusalema.

Kuyakufika abantu abaningi nezizwe ezinamandla ukufuna uJehova Sebawoti eJerusalema nokunxusa ebusweni bukaJehova.

Ngiyakunquma inqola kwa -Efrayimi nehhashi eJerusalema , nomnsalo wokulwa uyakunqunywa ; iyakukhuluma ukuthula kwabezizwe , nokubusa kwayo kuyakusukela elwandle kuze kufike elwandle, kusukela eMfuleni kuze kufike emajukujukwini omhlaba.

Ngiyakwelula isandla sami phezu kukaJud a naphezu kwabo bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema , nginqume insali kaBali kule ndawo , negama labapristi bezithixo kanye nabapristi,

Mina Mshumayeli ngangiyinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli eJerusalema.

Ngakhuluma mina nenhliziyo yami, ngathi: Bheka, ngenzile ukuhlakanipha kube kukhulu , ngikwandisile kunabo bonke phambi kwami eJerusalema , yebo, inhliziyo yami ibonile kakhulu ukuhlakanipha nokwazi.
