Wamsusa uMahakha unina ebukhosikazini , ngokuba wayenzela u -Ashera isithombe esinengekayo ; u-Asa wanquma isithombe sakhe, wasishisa ngasemfudlaneni iKidroni.

Ngakho ngithini pho? Ngithi okuhlatshelwe isithombe kuyinto na? nokuthi isithombe siyinto na?

Kepha kanazi yini ukuthi abangalungile abayikulidla ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu na ? Ningadukiswa. Nazifebe, nabakhonza isithombe , naziphingi, nazihlobongi, nabesilisa abalalanayo,

Ngokuba uma umuntu ekubona wena onokwazi uhlezi ekudleni ethempelini lesithombe, unembeza walowo osebuthakathaka akayikududeka yini, aze adle okuhlatshelwe isithombe, na?

Ngakho-ke maqondana nokudla okuhlats helwe izithombe siyazi ukuthi asikho isithombe ezweni nokuthi akakho omunye uNkulunkulu , munye kuphela.

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

Wabeka isithombe esibaziweyo sika -Ashera asenzileyo endlini asho ngayo uJehova kuDavide nakuSolomoni indodana yakhe ukuthi : Kule ndlu naseJerusalema engilikhethile ezizweni zonke zakw a-Israyeli ngiyakubeka igama lami kuze kube phakade;

Wamsusa uMahakha unina ka -Asa inkosi ebukhosikazini , ngokuba wayemenzele u -Ashera isithombe esinengekayo ; u-Asa wagawula isithombe sakhe, wasicolisisa, wasishisa ngasemfudlaneni iKidroni.

Wabuyisela kunina lezo zinhlamvu eziyinkulungwane nekhulu zesiliva ; unina wathi: Ngiyangcwelisa impela leli siliva kuJehova esandleni sami , libe ngelendodana yami ukuba kwenziwe isithombe esibaziweyo nesibunjiweyo ; manje ngiyakulibuyisela kuwe.

Kepha walibuyisela isiliva kunina , unina wathatha izinhlamvu ezingamakhulu amabili zesiliva , wazinika umkhandi wesiliva owenza ngazo isithombe esibaziweyo nesibunjiweyo; zase zihlala endlini kaMika.

Abantu abayisihlanu ababeyile ukuhlola izwe benyuka , bafika lapho , basithatha isithombe esibaziweyo , nengubo yamahlombe , namatherafi, nesithombe esibunjiweyo ; umpristi wema ngasesikhaleni sesango kanye nabantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha bebhince izikhali zokulwa.

Labo sebengenile endlini kaMika basithatha isithombe esiba ziweyo, nengubo yamahlombe, namatherafi, nesithombe esibunjiweyo; umpristi wathi kubo: Nenzani na?

Abantwana bakwaDani bazimisela isithombe esibaziweyo ; uJonathani indodana kaGereshomu kaMos e yena namadodana akhe babe ngabapristi besizwe sakwaDani kwaze kwaba ngosuku lokuthunjwa kwezwe.

Base bemisa isithombe esibaziweyo sikaMika abesenzile sonke isikhathi indlu kaNkulunkulu iseShilo.

Benza ithole eHorebe; bakhuleka kuso isithombe esibunjiweyo.

Wena othi akungaphingwa , uyaphinga na ? Wena owenyanya isithombe , uphanga ithempeli na?

Ompofu kunokuba anikele ngomnikelo onjal o uyakhetha umuthi ongaboliyo, azifunele isisebenzi esihlakaniphiley o ukuba simise isithombe esibaziweyo esingenakuzanyazanyiswa.

Ngubani owenzile uNkulunkulu, ngubani obumbile isithombe esibaziwey o esingesokusiza na?

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

ngazimemezela kwasendulo , ngazizwisa kungakenzeki, funa usho uthi : Isithombe sami sizenzile , isithombe sam i esibaziweyo , nesithombe sami esibunjiweyo siziyalezile.

Wabeka isithombe sakho emva kwezicabha nezinsika , wazambulela omunye kunami, wakhwela embhedeni , wawandisa, wavumelana nabo , wayithanda imibhede yabo, wazibonelela indawo.

Wena nkosi wabona, bheka, isithombe esikhulu. Lesi sithombe esasisikhulu nesikucwebezela kwaso kwakukuhle sema phambi kwakho , nesimo saso sasesabeka.

Wawusubona ukuthi kwaqheshulwa itshe k ungengazandla, lashaya isithombe ezinyaweni zaso eziyinsimbi nebumba, lazichoboza.

Kwase kuchotshozwa kanyekanye insimbi , nebumba, nethusi, nesiliva, negolide, kwaba njengamakhoba ezibuya zasehlobo , kwasuswa ngumoya , akutholwanga ndawo ; itshe elalisishay a isithombe laba yintaba enkulu , lawugcwalisa umhlaba wonke.

UNebukadinesari, inkosi, wenza isithombe segolide, ubude baso buyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha , ububanzi baso buyizingalo eziyisithupha , wasibeka ethafeni laseDura esifundeni saseBabele.

Makaqalekiswe umuntu owenza isithombe ezibaziweyo nesibunjiweyo , isinengiso kuJehova, umsebenzi wezandla zengcweti, asimise ngasese. Bonke abantu bayakuphendula bathi: Amen.

UJehova wathi kimi: Vuka wehle lapha masinyane, ngokuba abantu bakho owabakhipha eGibithe bonile, baphambukile masinyane endleleni engabayala ngayo; bazenzele isithombe esibunjiweyo.

Sisizani isithombe esibaziweyo, lokhu umbumbi waso esibaza , nesithombe esibunjiweyo nomfundisi wamanga , lokhu umbumbi waso ethemba kuso , ukuze enze izithombe eziyizimungulu, na?

Nina nd lu yakwa -Israyeli, isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Hambani nikhonze, kube yilowo isithombe sakhe , kepha impela ngasemuva niyakungilalela, ningabe nisalingcolisa igama lami elingcwele ngeminikelo yenu nangezithombe zenu.
