Ngalokho uJehova wathi kuSolomoni : Njengokuba wenzile lokho wena , ungagcinanga isivumelwano sami nezimiso zami engikuyale ngakho, ngiyakuwuhlwitha nokuhlwitha umbuso kuwe, ngiwunike inceku yakho.

Nokho wonke umbuso angiyikuwuhlwitha , kepha ngiyakunika indodana yakho isizwe sibe sinye ngenxa kaDavide inceku yami nangenxa yeJerusalema engilikhethileyo. UNkulunkulu umvusela uSolomoni izitha

UJerobowamu indodana kaNebati wakwa -Efrayimi waseSereda , inceku kaSolomoni, ogama likanina lalinguSeruya, umfelokazi, naye waphakamisela enkosini isandla sakhe.

Nokho angiyikususa wonke umbuso esandleni sakhe, kepha ngiyakumenza abe yisikhulu zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakhe ngenxa kaDavide inceku yami engamkhethayo, owagcina imiyalo yami nezimiso zami;

Indodana yakhe ngiyakuyinika isizwe sibe sinye , ukuze uDavide inceku yami abe nesibani izinsuku zonke phambi kwami eJerusalema , umuzi engiwukhethileyo ukuba ngibeke khona igama lami.

Kuyakuthi uma ulalela konke engikuyala ngakho, uhambe ngezindlela zami, wenze okulungile emehlweni ami ukugcina izimiso zami nemiyalo yami njengalokho akwenza uDavide inceku yami , ngiyakuba nawe , ngikwakhele indlu eyiyo njengalokho ngamakhela uDavide, ngikunike u-Israyeli.

Inceku yakhe uZimri , induna yenxenye yezinqola zakhe , yamenzela ugobe; eseTirisa ephuzile waze wadakwa endlini ka -Arisa owayephezu kwabendlu yaseTirisa,

Wayesethi kuye: Ngoneni ukuba unikele inceku yakho esandleni sika-Ahabi ukungibulala na?

Esezwile lokho wasuka , wahamba ukuba asinde , waya eBeri Sheba elingelakwaJuda, washiya khona inceku yakhe.

usehlabile izinkabi , namathole akhuluphalisiweyo, nezimvu eziningi , umemile onke amadodana enkosi, no-Abiyathara umpristi, noJowabe induna yempi; kepha uSolomoni inceku yakho kammemanga.

Kwabikwa kuSolomoni ukuthi : Bheka, u-Adoniya uyayesaba inkosi uSolomoni; ngalokho ubambile izimpondo ze -altare, ethi: Inkosi uSolomoni mayifunge kimi namuhla ukuthi ayiyikubulala inceku yayo ngenkemba.

Zase zibhinca izindw angu zamasaka ezinkalweni zazo , nezintambo emakhanda azo, zaya enkosini yakwa-Israyeli, zathi: Ithi inceku yakho uBeni Hadadi: Ake ungiyeke , ngiphile. Yayisithi: Usekhona na ? Ungumfowethu yena.

Kwathi inkosi isidlula , wamemeza enkosini , wathi: Inceku yakho yaphumela phakathi kokulwa ; bheka, kwabuya umuntu owaletha kimi omunye, wathi: Linda lo muntu ; uma elahleka, ukuphila kwakho kuyakuba sesikhundleni sokuphila kwakhe, noma uyakukhokha italenta lesiliva.

Kwathi lapho inceku yakho isasebenza ngalapha nangalapha , kanti wayesehambile. Yayisithi kuye inkosi yakwa -Israyeli: Kunjalo ukwahlulelwa kwakho; nguwe onqumile.

Wayesethi uShimeyi enkosini : Lelo zwi lilungile ; inceku yakho iyakwenza njengokusho kwenkosi yami, inkosi. UShimeyi wahlala eJerusalema izinsuku eziningi.

USolomoni wathi : Wenzele inceku yakho uDavide ubaba umusa omkhulu njengokuhamba kwakhe phambi kwakho ngeqiniso , nangokulunga, nangobuqotho benhliziyo kuwe , wamgcinela futhi lowo musa omkhulu , wamnika indodana ukuba ihlale esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi , njengokuba kunjalo namuhla.

Manje, Jehova Nkulunkulu wami, ubekile inceku yakho inkosi esikhundleni sikaDavide ubaba ; ngingumntwana omncane nje , angikwazi nokungena nokuphuma.

Inceku yakho iphakathi kwabantu bakho obakhethileyo , isizwe esikhulu , esingenakubalwa, esingenakuthathwa umumo waso ngobuningi.

Ngalokho yiphe inceku yakho inhliziyo elalelayo ukwahlulela abantu bakho ukuba ngahlukanise okuhle nokubi, ngokuba ngubani ongahlulela laba bantu bakho abakhulu kangaka na?

Mawubheke umkhuleko wenceku yakho nokunxusa kwayo , Jehova Nkulunkulu wami , uzwe ukukhala nokukhuleka inceku yakho ekukhuleka phambi kwakho namuhla

ukuba amehlo akho avulekele le ndlu ubusuku nemini , indawo owathi ngayo: Igama lami liyaku ba khona lapho, uze ulalele umkhuleko inceku yakho eyakuwukhuleka ibhekene nale ndawo.

Ngokuba wena wabahlukanisa nabantu bonke bomhlaba , babe yifa lakho , njengalokho wakhuluma ngesandla sikaMose inceku yakho ekukhipheni obaba eGibithe, Nkosi Jehova.

Makabongwe uJehova onike abantu bakhe u -Israyeli ukuphumula njengakho konke akushiloyo ; akuwanga izwi elilodwa lakho konke ukukhuluma kwakhe okuhle akusho ngesandla sikaMose inceku yakhe.

Lawo mazwi ami enginxuse ngawo phambi kukaJehova mawabe seduze noJehova uNkulunkulu wethu imini nobusuku ukuba avume inceku yakhe , avume nabantu bakhe u-Israyeli njengokudingeka kwemihla ngemihla,

Ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili wabamukisa abantu , bayibusisa inkosi, baya ematendeni abo bejabula , bethokoza ngenhliziyo ngakho konke okuhle uJehova akwenzile kuDavide inceku yakhe naku-Israyeli abantu bakhe.

nina nzalo ka-Israyeli, inceku yakhe , nina bantwana bakaJakobe , abakhethiweyo bakhe.

UDavide angenezela ngokuthini kuwe ngodumo inceku yakho elwenzelweyo na? Wena uyayazi inceku yakho.

Maliqiniseke, libe likhulu igama lakho kuze kube phakade, ukuze kuthiwe: UJehova Sebawoti unguNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, yebo, uNkulunkulu ka - Israyeli, nendlu kaDavide inceku yakho iqinisiwe phambi kwakho.

Ngokuba wena Nkulunkulu wami wambulele endlebeni yenceku yakho ukuthi uyakuyakhela indlu ; ngalokho inceku yakho ifike kulokhu ukuba ikhuleke phambi kwakho.

Hamba utshele uDavide inceku yami ukuthi : U sho kanje uJehova , uthi: Awuyikungakhela indlu ukuba ngihlale kuyo,

USheshani wanika uJariha inceku yakhe indodakazi yakhe ibe ngumkakhe ; wamzalela u-Athayi.

Kepha u -Aroni namadodana akhe bashiya iminikelo e -altare leminikelo yokushiswa nase-altare lempepho, benza nawo wonke umsebenzi wendawo engcwelengcwele, benzela u -Israyeli ukubuyisana njengakho konke ayale ngakho uMose inceku kaNkulunkulu.

UDavide wayesethi kuSawule: Makungaqedwa nhliziyo yamuntu ngalowo ; inceku yakho iyakuhamba ilwe nalowo mFilisti.

UDavide wathi kuSawule : Inceku yakho yayizalusa izimvu zikayise ; lapho kwafika ingonyama nebhere kwathatha imvu emhlambini,

Inceku yakho yahlula ingonyama nebhere , nalowo mFilisti ongasokile uyakuba njengenye yazo, lokhu eyeyisile impi kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.

UJonathani wakhuluma okuhle ngoDavide kuSawule uyise , wathi kuye : Inkosi mayingayoni inceku yayo uDavide, ngokuba akakonanga, nemisebenzi yakhe kuwe ilungile kakhulu;

Uma esho ukuthi : Kulungile, inceku yakho iyakuba nokuthula; kepha uma ethukuthela, yazi-ke ukuthi unqume okubi.

Ngalokho yenzela inceku yakho isihawu , ngokuba ungenisile inceku yakho esivumelwaneni sikaJehova nawe; kepha uma kukhona ububi kimi, ngibulale wena, ngokuba ubuyakungiyiselani kuyihlo na?

Ngiqale namuhla yini ukumbuzela kuJehova na? Makube kude nami; inkosi mayingabeki cala encekwini yayo , nakuyo yonke indlu kaba ba, ngokuba inceku yakho ayazi lutho lwayo yonke le ndaba, oluncane noma olukhulu.

ngokuba ningenzele nonke ugobe , akwababikho ongitshelileyo lapho indodana yami yenza isivumelwano nendodana kaJese , akwababikho kini ongidabukelayo nongitshelayo ukuthi indodana yami ingivusele inceku yami ukuba ingiqamekele njenganamuhla.

Wayesethi uDavide : Jehova Nkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, inceku yakho izwile nokuzwa ukuthi uSawule u funa ukuza eKeyila ukuba achithe umuzi ngenxa yami.

Abantu baseKeyila bayakungikhaphela yini esandleni sakhe na ? USawule uyakwehla njengalokho inceku yakho izwile na ? Jehova Nkulunkulu ka - Israyeli, ake uyitshele inceku yakho. Wathi uJehova: Uyakwehla.

UDavide esezwile ukuthi uNabali ufile, wathi: Makabusiswe uJehova omele indaba yehlazo lami esandleni sikaNabali , ovimbele inceku ya khe ebubini , wabuyisela ububi bukaNabali ekhanda lakhe . UDavide wathumela wakhuluma ku-Abigayili ukuba amthathe abe ngumkakhe.

Wathi: Inkosi yami iyixoshelani inceku yayo na ? Ngokuba ngenzeni na ? Ngububi buni obusesandleni sami na?

UDavide wathi ku -Akhishi: Uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho , mabanginike indawo komunye wemizi yasemaphandleni ukuba ngihlale khona, ngokuba inceku yakho izakuhlalelani nawe emzini wenkosi na?

UDavide wathi ku -Akhishi: Ngalokho uyakwazi ukuthi inceku yakho iyakwenzani. U-Akhishi wathi kuDavide : Ngalokho ngiyakukubeka ube ngumlindi wekhanda lami kuze kube nini. USawule uya konedlozi e-Eni Dori

Zase zithi izikhulu zamaFilisti : Ayini lawa maHeberu na ? U-Akhishi wathi kuzo izikhulu zamaFilisti : Akusiye uDavide inceku kaSawule inkosi yakw a- Israyeli okade enami kulezi zinsuku nakule minyaka na ? Angifumananga lutho kuye selokhu ahlubuka weza kimi kuze kube namuhla.

Kwakungumthetho wabap risti kubantu ukuba , nxa umuntu enikela ngomhlatshelo, kufike inceku yompristi inyama isabila , iphethe ngesandla ingwegwe emazinyo mathathu,

Yebo, bengakashisi amanoni , yafika inceku yompristi , yathi kumuntu ohlabayo: Letha inyama yokoselwa umpristi , ngokuba akayikuthatha kuwe inyama ephekiweyo kepha eluhlaza.

UDavide wathi kuye : Ungokabani na ? Uvelaphi na ? Wathi: Ngiyinsizwa yaseGibithe, inceku yomAmaleki , kepha inkosi yami yangishiya , ngokuba sekuyizinsuku ezintathu ngigula.

UJehova wafika , wema, wambiza njengakwe zinye izikhathi : Samuweli, Samuweli! USamuweli wathi: Khuluma, ngokuba inceku yakho iyezwa.

U-Eli wathi kuSamuweli : Hamba, ulale; kuyakuthi uma ekubiza , usho ukuthi: Khuluma, Jehova, ngokuba inceku yakho iyezwa . Wayesehamba uSamuweli, walala endaweni yakhe.

USawule wayesethi kuyo inceku yakhe : Lihle izwi lakho ; woza sihambe . Base beya emzini lapho lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu wayekhona.

Besehlela ngasekugcineni komuzi , uSamuweli wathi kuSawule: Yisho kuyo inceku ukuba idlule phambi kwethu -- yadlula-ke -- kepha yima wena manje ukuba ngikuzwise izwi likaNkulunkulu.

Sebefikile ezweni laseSufi , uSawule wathi kuyo inceku yakhe eyayinaye : Woza sibuye, funa ubaba aziyeke izimbongolo, enqene ngathi.

Wayesethi uSawule kuyo inceku yakhe : Kepha bheka , uma siya khona , siyakulethani kulowo muntu na ? Ngokuba isinkwa siphelile ezitsheni zethu ; akukho nto esingayiyisa kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu; sinani, pho, na?

Inceku yabuye yamphendula uSawule , yathi: Ngiphethe esandleni sami okwesine kweshekeli lesiliva ; lokhu ngiyakumnika khona lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu ukuba asitshele indlela yethu.

ngokuba abalalelanga izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo , kepha beqa isivumelwano sakhe ; konke ayala ngakho uMose inceku kaJehova kabavumanga ukukulalela nokukwenza.

Ngenyanga yesihlanu ngolwesikhombisa lwenyanga okwakungumnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalolunye wenkosi uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele , kwafika uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi , inceku yenkosi yaseBabele , eJerusalema.

Kepha yena wangena, wema phambi kwenkosi yakhe. U-Elisha wathi kuye: Uvelaphi, Gehazi? Wathi: Inceku yakho ayiyanga ndawo.

Waletha incwadi enkosini yakwa-Israyeli, ethi: Manje, lapho le ncwadi ifika kuwe, bheka, ngithumile u Nahamani inceku yami kuwe ukuba umphilise ochokweni lwakhe.

Isikhonzi somuntu kaNkulunkulu sesivukile ekuseni , saphuma, bheka, impi enamahhashi nezinqola yayiwukakile umuzi . Yayisithi inceku kuye: Maye, nkosi! Sesiyakwenze njani?

Kepha uHazayeli wathi: Kodwa iyini inceku yakho eyinja nje ukuba yenze le nto e nkulu na ? Wathi u-Elisha: UJehova ungibonisile ukuthi uyakuba yinkosi e-Aramu.

Kepha uJehova akathandanga ukuchitha uJuda ngenxa kaDavide inceku yakhe njengokusho kwakhe kuye ukuthi uyakumnika yena nabantwana bakhe isibani izinsuku zonke.

Inkosi yayisilokhu ikhuluma noGehazi inceku yomuntu kaNkulunkulu ukuthi: Ake ungilandise zonke izinto ezinkulu azenzileyo u-Elisha.
