Uma laba bantu benyuka ukunikela ngemihlatshelo endlini kaJehova eJerusalema, inhliziyo yalaba bantu iyakuphindela enkosini yabo , kuRehobowamu inkosi yakwaJuda , bangibulale mina , babuyele kuRehobowamu inkosi yakwaJuda.

UJuda wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , bamvusela umhawu naphezu kwakho konke ababekwenzile oyise ngezono zabo abazenzayo.

U-Asa wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova njengoDavide uyise.

Wangenisa endlini kaJehova izinto ezingcwele zikayise nezinto zakhe ezingcwele: isiliva, negolide, nezitsha.

U-Asa wayesethatha lonke isiliva negolide elalisele engcebeni yendlu kaJehova nengcebo yendlu yenkosi , wakunikela ezandleni zezinceku zakhe ; inkosi u -Asa yazithuma kuBeni Hadadi indodana kaTabirimoni kaHeziyoni , inkosi yase-Aramu, owayehlala eDamaseku, yathi:

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, wahamba endleleni kayise nasesonweni sakhe onisa ngaso u-Israyeli.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , wahamba endleleni kaJerobowamu nasesonweni sakhe onisa ngaso u-Israyeli.

ngokuba uDavide w enza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova , kaphambukanga ngalutho amyala ngalo zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakhe, kuphela endabeni ka-Uriya umHeti.

ngenxa yezono zakhe one ngazo ngokwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , ngokuhamba endleleni kaJerobowamu nasesonweni sakhe asenzayo ukuba onise u-Israyeli.

Kepha u -Omri wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , wenza kabi kunabo bonke ababe ngaphambi kwakhe.

Kepha u -Ahabi, indodana ka -Omri, wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova kunabo bonke ababe ngaphambi kwakhe.

Kwafika ngesandla somprofethi uJehu indodana kaHanani izwi likaJehova ngoBahasha nendlu yakhe ngenxa yakho konke okubi akwenza emehlweni kaJehova ukuthi wamcunula ngomsebenzi wezandla zakhe, waba njengendlu kaJerobowamu, nangenxa yokuba wayiqothula. O-Ela noZimri no-Omri no-Ahabi bangamakhosi kwa-Israyeli

Kuyakuthi sengisukile kuwe , uMoya kaJehova akuyise lapho ngingazi khona, nanxa sengifika ukuba ngimtshele u -Ahabi, yena angakufumani , uyakungibulala; kepha mina nceku yakho ngiyamesaba uJehova kwasebusheni bami.

Kodwa wathi : Mina angimhluphanga u -Israyeli, kepha nguwe nendlu kayihlo, ngokuyilahla imiyalo kaJehova, uze ulandele oBali.

Wayesethi u-Eliya kubantu: Yimi ngedwa oseleyo engumprofethi kaJehova, kepha abaprofethi bakaBali bangabantu abangamakhulu amane namashumi ayisihlanu.

Wawusuwehla umlilo kaJehova , wawuqeda umnikelo wokushiswa , nezinkuni, namatshe, nothuli, wakhotha amanzi asemseleni.

Ingelosi kaJehova yabuye yamthinta ngokwesibili , yathi: Vuka udle , ngokuba indlela yakho inde.

Wayesethi u -Ahabi ku -Eliya: Usungitholile wena sitha sami na ? Wathi: Ngikutholile, ngokuba uzithengisile ukwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova.

Kepha akubangakho onjengo -Ahabi owazithengisa ukwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, edudwa ngu-Izebeli umkakhe.

Wayesethi uNaboti ku -Ahabi: Makube kude nami ngenxa kaJehova ukuba ngikunike ifa lawobaba.

USedekiya indodana kaKhenahana wayesesondela , wamshaya uMikhaya esihlathini, wathi: UMoya kaJehova wasuka kimi ngaph i ukuba akhulume kuwe na?

Wahamba ngezindlela zonke zika-Asa uyise , kaphambukanga kuzo , enza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova . Kepha izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga; abantu babesanikela , babesashisa impepho ezindaweni eziphakemeyo.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, wahamba ngendlela kayise, nangendlela kanina, nangendlela kaJerobowamu indodana kaNebati ayonisile u-Israyeli.

Kepha uJehoshafati wathi : Akusekho mprofethi kaJehova lapha ukuba sibuze kuye na?

USolomoni wahlangana ngobuhlobo noFaro inkosi yaseGibithe , wathatha indodakazi kaFaro , wayingenisa emzini kaDavide , waze waqeda ukwakha indlu yakhe, nendlu kaJehova, nogange lwaseJerusalema nxazonke.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wamakhulu a mane namashumi ayisishiyagalombili emva kokuphuma kwabantwana bakwa -Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe , ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kukaSolomoni phezu kwabakwa-Israyeli, ngenyanga kaZivi eyinyanga yesibili, waqala ukwakha indlu kaJehova.

Ngomnyaka wesine isisekelo sendlu kaJehova sase sibekiwe ngen yanga kaZivi.

Igceke elikhulu nxazonke lalinezinhla ezintathu zamatshe abaziweyo nohla lwemisedari njengegceke elingaphakathi lendlu kaJehova nompheme wendlu. Umsebenzi kaHiramu ethempelini

namakhanzi, namafosholo, nezitsha; zonke lezo zinto uHiramu azenzela inkosi uSolomoni endlini kaJehova zaziyithusi eliphucuziweyo.

USolomoni wenza-ke zonke izinto ezazisendlini kaJehova: i-altare legolide, netafula legolide okwakukhona kulo izinkwa zokubukwa,

Sekuphelile wonke umsebenzi inkosi uSolomoni eyawenzayo endlini kaJehova, uSolomoni wangenisa izinto uyise uDavide ay ezingcwelisile, isiliva, negolide, nezitsha, wakubeka engcebeni yendlu kaJehova.

Kwathi lapho abapristi sebephumile enda weni engcwele , ifu lagcwalisa indlu kaJehova,

abapristi baze bangema ukukhonza ngenxa yefu , ngokuba inkazimulo kaJehova yagcwalisa indlu kaJehova.

Bakhuphula umphongolo kaJehova , netende lokuhlangana , nazo zonke izinto ezingcwele ezazisetendeni, kwakhushulwa ngabapristi namaLevi.

USolomoni wanikela kube ngumhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula, owanikela ngawo kuJehova , izinkunzi eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amabili . Inkosi nabo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahlambulula-ke indlu kaJehova.

Ngalona lolo suku inkosi yangcwelisa ingaphakathi legceke elalinga phambi kwendlu kaJehova , ngokuba wanikela lapho ngomnikelo wokushiswa , nangomnikelo wempuphu, nangamanoni eminikelo yokuthula, lokhu i-altare lethusi elaliphambi kukaJehova lalilincane ukuba liwamukele umnikelo wokushiswa, nomnikelo wempuphu, namanoni eminikelo yokuthula.

Kwathi uSolomoni eseqedile ukwakha indlu kaJehova , nendlu yenkosi , nakho konke ukufisa kukaSolomoni ayefune ukukwenza,

Kwathi ngasekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi amabili uSolomoni akhe ngayo izindlu zombili, indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi,

Indaba yezisebenzi ezabizwa yinkosi uSolomoni ukwakha indlu kaJehova , nendlu yakhe , neMilo, nogange lwaseJerusalema , neHasori, neMegido, neGezeri inje:

Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u -Uza, wamshaya, ngokuba welulela isandla emphongolweni; wafela khona lapho phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

Nina niyizinhloko zezindlu zawoyise bamaLevi ; zingcweliseni nina nabafowenu ukuba niwukhuphulele umphongolo kaJehova uNkulunkulu ka- Israyeli endaweni engiyilungisele wona.

Base bezingcwelisa abapristi namaLevi ukuba bawukhuphule umphongolo kaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

UDavide wabuthela wonke u -Israyeli eJerusalema ukukhuphulela umphongolo kaJehova endaweni yawo awulungisele yona.

Wabela amaLevi athile ukukhonza phambi komphongolo kaJehova ukuba amkhumbule, ambonge, amdumise uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli:

ukuba banikele njalo ngeminikelo yokushiswa phezu kwe -altare lomnikelo wokushiswa ekuseni nakusihlwa njengakho konke okulotshiweyo emthethweni kaJehova ayala ngawo u-Israyeli,

Zikhethele noma indlala yeminyaka emithathu , noma ukuchithwa yizitha zakho iz inyanga ezintathu uficwa yinkemba yezitha zakho , noma izinsuku ezintathu zenkemba kaJehova nesifo ezweni , ingelosi kaJehova ichithe emikhawulweni yonke yakwa -Israyeli. Manje zibonele izwi engiyakulibuyisela kongithumileyo.

UNkulunkulu wathuma ingelosi eJerusalema ukulichitha ; kwathi lapho isalichitha, uJehova wabuka , wazisola ngalobo bubi , wathi engelosini echithayo: Sekwanele; buyisa isandla sakho . Ingelosi kaJehova yayimi ngasesibuyeni sika-Orinani umJebusi.

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.

Ingelosi kaJehova yamyala uGadi ukusho kuDavide ukuba uDavide enyuke, amisele uJehova i-altare esibuyeni sika-Orinani umJebusi.

Kepha uDavide wayengenakuya phambi kwalo ukubuza kuNkulunkulu , ngokuba wagebhezelela inkemba yengelosi kaJehova.

UDavide wathi: Le iyindlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu , leli liyi-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa ka-Israyeli.

Kalokhu, ndodana yami, uJehova makabe nawe, ube nempumelelo, wakhe indlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho njengokukhuluma kwakhe kuwe.

Kuphela, uJehova makakuphe ukuhlakanipha nokuqonda , akuyale ngo - Israyeli ukuba ugcine umthetho kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.

Bheka, ekuhluphekeni kwami ngilungisele indlu kaJehova amatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu egolide , namatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyinkulungwane esiliva, nethusi nensimbi okungenakulinganiswa, ngokuba kuningi; ngilungisile nemithi namatshe; uyakwenezela kukho.

Kalokhu nikelani inhliziyo yenu nomphefumulo wenu ekufuneni uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ; sukani nakhe indlu en gcwele kaJehova uNkulunkulu ukuba kungeniswe umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova nezinto ezingcwele zikaNkulunkulu endlini eyakwakhelwa igama likaJehova.

Yilabo ababe ngamadodana kaLevi ngezindlu zawoyise, izinhloko zawoyise, bebalwa ngomumo wamaga ma ngezinhloko zabo , abawenza umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaJehova , kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabili kuya phezulu.

Ngokuba indawo yawo yayingasesandleni samadodana ka-Aroni ukukhonza endlini kaJehova, nasemagcekeni, nasemakamelweni, nokuhlambulula zonke izinto ezingcwele, nomsebenzi wenkonzo endlini kaNkulunkulu,

bayakugcina imfanelo yetende lokuhlangana , nemfanelo yendawo engcwele, nemfanelo yamadodana ka -Aroni abafowabo ekukhonzeni endlini kaJehova.

Ayizinkulungwane ezingamashum i amabili nane kuwona ayengawokwengamela umsebenzi wendlu kaJehova ; izinkulungwane eziyisithupha zaziyizinduna nabahluleli;

Lezo zaziyizigaba zabo njengenkonzo yabo ukuba bangene endlini kaJehova njengomthetho ababewunikwe ngesandla sika -Aroni uyise , njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ebemyalile.

Onke lawo ayephansi kwezandla zikayise ekuhlabeleleni endlini kaJehova ngamasimbali, nangezingubhu, nangamahabu enkonzweni yasendlini kaNkulunkulu, o-Asafa noJeduthuni noHemani bephansi kwezandla zenkosi.

Lezo zigaba zabalindisango , izinhloko zabantu , zaba nemfanelo yazo njengabafowabo ukukhonza endlini kaJehova.

amadodana amaJehiyeli , oZethamu noJoweli umfowabo , ayephethe ingcebo endlini kaJehova.

Empini nasempangweni bakungcwelisela ukulungisa indlu kaJehova,

KumaHebroni uHashabiya n abafowabo, amaqhawe anamandla , beyinkulungwane namakhulu ayisikhombisa, babe ngababonisi kwa -Israyeli phesheya kweJordani ngasentshonalanga emsebenzini wonke kaJehova nasenkonzweni yenkosi.

nesifanekiso sakho konke ayenakho emicabangweni yakhe ngamagceke endlu kaJehova , nangamakamelo nxazonke , nangengcebo yendlu kaNkulunkulu, nangengcebo yezinto ezingcwele;

nangezigaba zabapristi nezamaLevi , nangawo wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaJehova, nangazo zonke izitsha zenkonzo endlini kaJehova;

Wayesethi uDavide kuSolomoni indodana yakhe : Qina, ume isibindi, ukwenze; ungesabi, ungabi naluvalo, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu , yebo, uNkulunkulu wami , unawe; akayikukuyeka, akayikukushiya uze uphele wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaJehova.

nasemadodaneni ami onke , ngokuba uJehova ungiphe amadoda na amaningi, ukhethe uSo lomoni indodana yami ukuba ahlale esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso kaJehova kwa-Israyeli.

Ngalokho emehlweni abo bonke abakwa -Israyeli, ibandla likaJehova , nasezindlebeni zikaNkulunkulu wethu funani nigcine yonke imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ukuba nidle leli zwe elihle , nilishiye libe yifa labantwana benu emva kwenu kuze kube phakade.

Ababe namatshe bawanikela engcebeni yendlu kaJehova phansi kwesandla sikaJehiyeli umGereshoni.

Amadodana kaJuda : ngo-Eri, no-Onani, noShela; labo abathathu bazalwa nguye kuBati Shuwa , umKhananikazi. Kepha u -Eri, izibulo likaJuda , wayemubi emehlweni kaJehova; wambulala.

Nampa uDavide abamisela ukuhola ukuhlabelela endlini kaJehova , umphongolo usubekiwe khona.

Bakhonza ngokuhlabelela phambi kwetabernakele letende lokuhlangana , uSolomoni waze wakha indlu kaJehova eJerusalema . Bema emse benzini wabo njengomthetho wabo.

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

uMoya kaJehova uyakwehlela phezu kwakho , uyakuprofetha kanye nabo , uphenduke omunye umuntu.

Angithi kuyisikhathi sokuvuna ukolweni namuhla na ? Ngiyakukhuleka kuJehova ukuba athume ukuduma nemvula , nazi, nibone ukuthi okubi kwenu enikwenzile emehlweni kaJehova ngokucela inkosi kukhulu.

USamuweli wathi kuSawule : Wenze ngobuwula , awugcinanga umyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akuyala ngawo , ngokuba uJehova ubeseyakuqinisa umbuso wakho kwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade.

u-Ahiya indodana ka -Ahithubi, umfowabo ka-Ikabodi indodana kaFinehasi ka-Eli, umpristi kaJehova eShilo , wayembethe ingubo yamahlombe. Abantu babengazi ukuthi uJonathani uhambile.

USamuweli wathi kuSawule : UJehova wangithuma ukuba ngikugcobe ube yinkosi phezu kwabantu bakhe u-Israyeli; ngalokho lalela amazwi kaJehova.

Awulalelanga nga ni izwi likaJehova , kepha watheleka phakathi kwempango, wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, na?

USamuweli wayesethatha uphondo lwamafutha , wamgcoba phakathi kwabafowabo; uMoya kaJehova wehl ela phezu kukaDavide ngamandla , kusukela kulolo suku kuya phambili. Wayesesuka uSamuweli, waya eRama. UDavide uya endlunkulu

UMoya kaJehova wamuka kuSawule , nomoya omubi owavela kuJehova wamzuma.

Kwathi sebefikile , wabheka u-Eliyabe, wathi: Impela ogcotshiweyo kaJehova uphambi kwakhe.

Kwathi esaqhubeka ukukhuleka phambi ku kaJehova, u-Eli waqaphela umlomo wakhe.

Eseyilumulile wenyuka nayo enezinkunzi ezintathu , ne-efa lempuphu , nemvaba yewayini , wakuyisa endlini kaJehova eShilo ; umntwana wayesemncane.

Kwathi ukuba u -Elkana enze njalo iminyaka ngeminyaka , lapho enyukela endlini kaJehova , wamncokoloza kanjalo ; ngalokho wakhala , akadlanga lutho.

Awuyikungenzela umusa kaJehova ukuba ngingafi ngisekhona kuphela,

Bheka, namuhla amehlo akho abonile ukuthi uJehova wayekunikele esandleni sami emhumeni ; abanye bathi mangikubulale , kepha ngakuhawukela, ngathi: Angiyikwelulela isandla sami kuyo inkosi yami , ngokuba ingogcotshiweyo kaJehova.

Wathi kubantu bakhe: Makube kude nami , Jehova, ukuba ngenze okunjalo kuyo inkosi yami, ogcotshiweyo kaJehova, ngelulele isandla sami kuye, lokhu engogcotshiweyo kaJehova.

UJehova makenqabe ukuba ngelulele isandla sami kogcotshiweyo kaJehova; ake uthathe umkhonto ongasekhanda lakhe nesigubhu samanzi , sihambe.

Akukuhle okwenzileyo . Kuphila kukaJehova , nimelwe ukuf a, ngokuba anilindanga inkosi yenu , ogcotshiweyo kaJehova . Manje bhekani ukuthi umkhonto wenkosi uphi nesigubhu samanzi esasingasekhanda lakhe.

UJehova uyakuphindisela , kube yilowo nalowo ngokulunga kwakhe nangokuthembeka kwakhe , lokhu uJehova ekunikele esandleni sami namuhla, angavuma ukwelulela isandla sami kogcotshiweyo kaJehova.

Futhi bheka , njengalokho ukuphila kwakho kwakukukhulu ngalolo suku emehlweni ami, ukuphila kwami makube kukhulu emehlweni kaJehova, yena angophule ekuhluphekeni konke.

UDavide wathi ku -Abishayi: Ungambulali, ngokuba ngubani ongelul ela isandla sakhe kogcotshiweyo kaJehova, angabi nacala, na?

Isono sezinsizwa sasisikhulu kakhulu phambi kukaJehova , ngokuba abantu bawudelela umnikelo kaJehova.

USamuweli walala kwaze kwasa , wavula iminyango yendlu kaJehova . USamuweli wesaba ukumtshela u-Eli umbono.

Wonke u-Israyeli kusukela kwaDani kuze kube seBeri Sheba wazi ukuthi uSamuweli uqinisiwe ukuba abe ngumprofethi kaJehova.

AmaFilisti esezwa umsindo wokukhamuluka athi: Uthini umsindo walokhu kukhamuluka okukhulu ekamu lamaHeberu na ? Aqonda ukuthi umphongolo kaJehova ufikile ekamu.

Abase-Ashidodi sebevukile kusasa ekuseni, bheka, uDagoni wayewile phansi ngobuso phambi komphongolo kaJehova . Bamthatha uDagoni, bambuyisela endaweni yakhe.

Sebevukile kusasa ekuseni , bheka, uDagoni wayewile phansi ngobuso phambi komphongolo kaJehova ; ikhanda likaDagoni nezimpama zombili zezandla zakhe zazinqamukile zisembundwini ; kwasala isidumbu sakhe kuphela.

Umphongolo kaJehova wawusezweni lamaFilisti izinyanga eziyisikhombisa.

bawubeka umphongolo kaJehova enqoleni kanye nebhokisi lamagundane egolide nemifanekiso yamathumba abo.

AmaLevi ayethulile umphongolo kaJehova nebhokisi elalinawo , okwakukulo impahla yegolide , akubeka etsheni elikhulu ; abantu baseBeti Shemeshi banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa , bahlabela uJehova imihlatshelo ngalolo suku.

namagundane ego lide ayenjengomumo wemizi yonke yamaFilisti yamakhosi ayisihlanu , imizi ebiyelweyo nemizana yasemaphandleni , okubufakazi bakho kuyitshe elikhulu abawubeka kulo umphongolo kaJehova, elikhona nanamuhla ensimini kaJoshuwa waseBeti Shemeshi.

Wabulala abantu baseBeti Shemeshi , ngokuba babebukile umphongolo kaJehova; wabulala kubantu amadoda angamashumi ayisikhombisa emadodeni ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisihlanu ; abantu balila , ngokuba uJehova wabulala abantu ngokubulala okukhulu.

AmaFilisti abiza abapristi nababhuli , athi: Siyakwenze njani ngomphongolo kaJehova na? Saziseni ukuthi singawubuyisela kanjani endaweni yawo.

Bathuma izithunywa kwabakhileyo eKiriyati Jeharimi , bathi: AmaFilisti awubuyisele umphongolo kaJehova; yehlani, niwukhuphulele kini.

nithathe umphongolo kaJehova, niwubeke enqoleni, nifake impahla yegolide eniyibuyisela kuye ibe ngumnikelo wecala ebhokisini eliseceleni kwawo , niyimukise, ihambe.

Abantu baseKiriyati Jeharimi bafika , bakhuphula umphongolo kaJehova , bawungenisa endlini ka -Abinadaba entabeni , bamngcwelisa u -Eleyazare indodana yakhe ukuba agcine umphongolo kaJehova.

USamuweli wabatshela abantu abacela kuye inkosi onke amazwi kaJehova.

Kodwa uJehu akagcinanga ukuhamba emthethweni kaJehova uNkulunk ulu ka-Israyeli ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakhe , kasukanga ezonweni zikaJerobowamu onisa ngazo u-Israyeli.

Umpristi wanikela ezinduneni zamakhulu imikhonto nezihlangu okwakungokwenkosi uDavide, kusendlini kaJehova.

U-Athaliya esezwa ukumemeza kwabalindi nokwabantu waya kubantu endlini kaJehova,

UJehoyada, umpristi, wayala izinduna zamakhulu ezazibekwe phezu kwempi, wathi kuzo : Mkhipheni endlini , nimngenise phakathi kwezinhla ; omlandelayo nimbulale ngenkemba ; ngokuba umpristi wathi : Makangabulawa endlini kaJehova.

Bonke abantu bezwe baya endlini kaBali , bayibhidliza; ama-altare akh e nezithombe zakhe bakuphahlaza kakhulu , babulala uMathani , umpristi kaBali, phambi kwama-altare. Umpristi wamisela indlu kaJehova ababonisi.

Wayenaye ethukusiwe endlini kaJehova iminyaka eyisithupha ; u-Athaliya wabusa ezweni.

Ngomnyaka wesikhombisa uJehoyada wathumela walanda izinduna zamakhulu zamaKhari nezabalindi , wazingenisa kuye endlini kaJehova , wenza isivumelwano nazo , wazifungisa endl ini kaJehova , wazibonisa indodana yenkosi.

Amaviyo enu amabili , bonke abaphuma ngesabatha , ayakulinda indlu kaJehova enkosini.

Kwathi lapho bebona ukuthi ikhona imali eningi emphongolweni , umbhali wenkosi nompristi omkhulu benyuka , bayibopha, bayibala imali eyafunyanwa endlini kaJehova.

Banika imali elinganisiweyo ezandleni zabasebenzayo, bengababonisi bendlu kaJehova , bakhokhela ababazi nabakhi ababesebenza endlini kaJehova,

nabakha ngamatshe , nababaza amatshe , nokuthenga imithi namatshe abaziweyo ukulungisa izimfa zendlu kaJehova , yebo, konke okwakhishelwa indlu ukuyilungisa.

Kodwa indlu kaJehova ayenzelwanga izindebe zesiliva , nezizenze, nezitsha, namacilongo, nazo zonke izinto zegolide , nezinto zesiliva ngemali eyalethwa endlini kaJehova,

ngokuba bayinika abasebenzayo, balungisa ngayo indlu kaJehova.

Imali yeminikelo yamacala , nemali yeminikelo yezono yayingangeniswa endlini kaJehova, yayingeyabapristi. UHazayeli uhlasela iJerusalema

UJehowashi, inkosi yakwaJuda , wathatha zonke izinto ezingcwele , ezingcwelisiwe ngoJehoshafati noJehoramu no-Ahaziya oyise , amakhosi akwaJuda, nezinto zakhe ezingcwelisiwe , nalo lonke igolide elafunyanwa engcebeni endlini kaJehova nasendlini yenkosi , wakuthuma kuHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu; wayesesuka eJerusalema.

UJehowashi wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova izinsuku zakhe zonke uJehoyada umpristi amfundisa ngazo.

UJehowashi wathi kubapristi : Lonke isiliva lezinto ezingcwele elingeniswa endlini kaJehova , imali eyamukelekayo , imali yilowo nalowo muntu alinganiselwe yona , nemali yonke okuvela enhliziyweni yomuntu ukuba ayilethe endlini kaJehova,

UJehoyada, umpristi, wayesethatha umphongolo , wabhoboza imbobo esivalweni sawo , wawubeka eceleni kwe -altare ngakwesok unene lapho umuntu engena endlini kaJehova ; abapristi abalinda umbundu bafaka khona yonke imali eyalethwa endlini kaJehova.

Wenza okubi emehlwe ni kaJehova , kasukanga kuzo zonke izono zikaJerobowamu indodana kaNebati onisa ngazo u -Israyeli, kodwa wahamba kuzo.

Wathi: Vula ifasitele ngasempumalanga . Yalivula. Wayesethi u -Elisha: Cibishela. Yacibishela-ke. Wathi: Ngumcibisholo kaJehova wokusindisa , umcibisholo wokusindiswa kuma -Aramu, ngokuba uyakubulala ama -Aramu e-Afeki, uwaqede.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , walandela izono zikaJerobowamu , indodana kaNebati, onisa ngazo u-Israyeli, kasukanga kuzo.

Intukuthelo kaJehova yavuthela u -Israyeli, wabanikela esandleni sikaHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu nasesandleni sikaBeni Hadadi indodana kaHazayeli sonke lesi sikhathi.

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

Niyakuhlabelela njengasebusuk u lapho kugujwa umkhosi , nithokoze ngenhliziyo njengalokhu kuhanjwa ngemitshing o kuyiwe entabeni kaJehova kulo iDwala lika-Israyeli.

ngalokho intukuthelo kaJehova yavuthela leli zwe ukuba alehlisele zonke iziqalekiso ezilotshwe kule ncwadi;

Ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi emva kokufa kwami niyakona nokona , niphambuke endleleni enginiyale ngayo, ububi bunehlele ngezinsuku ezizayo, ngokuba niyakwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , nimthukuthelise ngemisebenzi yezandla zenu.

NgoBenjamini wathi : Othandiweyo kaJehova uyakuhlal a elondwa nguye ; uyamsibekela usuku lonke, ahlale phakathi kwamahlombe akhe.

Wayesefela khona ezweni lakwaMowabi uMose inceku kaJehova njengezwi likaJehova.

Aniyikuthasisela ezwini enginiyala ngalo , ninganciphisi futhi kulo , ukuba nigcine imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu enginiyala ngayo.

Nxa uyakuzala abantwana nabantwana babantwana , nanxa senihlale isikhathi eside ezweni , none, nenze izithombe ezibaziweyo ngomfanekiso wento e thile, nenze okubi emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho , nimthukuthelise,

Ngokuba uyakuphambukisa indodana yakho ekungilandeleni ukuba bakhonze abanye onkulunkulu , intukuthelo kaJehova ikuvuthele , akuchithe masinyane.

ULoti waphakamisa amehlo akhe , wabona ukuthi ithafa lonke laseJordani lalinamanzi lonke ; uJehova engakachithi iSodoma neGomora , lalinjengensimu kaJehova nanjengezwe laseGibithe kwaze kwaba seSowari.

Ingelosi kaJehova yathi futhi kuye : Ngiyakwandisa kakhulu inzalo yakho , ingabe isabalwa ngobuningi bayo.

Ingelosi kaJehova yathi kuye: Bheka, usukhulelwe; uyakuzala indodana , uyiqambe igama lokuthi u -Ishmayeli, ngokuba uJehova uzwile ukuhlupheka kwakho.

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

Kwase kumemeza kuye ingelosi kaJehova isezulwini , ithi: Abrahama, Abrahama! Yena wathi: Ngilapha.

U-Abrahama waqamba igama laleyo ndawo ngokuthi uJehova uyabonelela , njengalokhu kuthiwa nanamuhla: Entabeni kaJehova kuyakubonelelwa.

Ingelosi kaJehova yayisimemeza ku-Abrahama ngokwesibili isezulwini,

Wathi: Ngena wena obusisekileyo kaJehova; umelani ngaphandle na? Mina sengilungisile indlu nendawo yamakamela.

Kwaba kubi emehlweni kaJehova lokho akwenzileyo ; wambulala naye futhi.

U-Eri izibulo likaJuda wayemubi emehlweni kaJehova; uJehova wambulala.

Kepha uNowa wayetholile umusa emehlweni kaJehova.

Ngokuba umhlaba uyakugcwala ukwazi inkazimulo kaJehova, njengamanzi asibekela ulwandle.

UJehova wavuselela umoya kaZerubabele indodana kaSheyalitiyeli, umbusi wakwaJuda, nomoya kaJoshuwa indodana kaJehosadaki , umpristi omkhulu, nomoya wensali yonke y abantu, bafika, benza umsebenzi endlini kaJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu wabo,

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Laba bantu bathi : Akukabi yisikhathi sokuza, isikhathi sokwakha indlu kaJehova.

Inkazimulo kaJehova yaphuma phezu kombundu wendlu , yema phezu kwamakherubi.

Amakherubi aphakamisa amaphiko awo , enyuka emhlabathini phambi kwamehlo ami ekuphumeni kwawo , amasondo eseceleni kwawo ; ema ngasesivalweni sesango lasempumalanga lendlu kaJehova ; inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli yayiphezu kwawo.

Inkazimulo kaJehova yenyuka ekherubini, yaya embundwini wendlu; indlu yagcwala ifu, igceke lagcwala ukumenyezela kwenkazimulo kaJehova.

UMoya wangiphakamisa , wangiyisa esangweni lendlu kaJehova lasempumalanga, elibhekene nempumalanga; bheka, ngasesivalweni sesango kwakukhona amadoda angamashumi amabi li nanhlanu ; ngabona phakathi kwawo uJahazaniya indodana ka -Azuri noPhelathiya indodana kaBenaya , izikhulu zabantu.

Inkazimulo kaJehova yakhuphuka phakathi komuzi , yema entabeni engasempumalanga komuzi.

UMoya kaJehova wehlela phezu kwami , wathi kimi: Yisho uthi: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Nisho njalo nina ndlu ka -Israyeli; ngiyazi mina okungena emoyeni wenu.

Njengothingo olusemafwini ngosuku lwemvula kwabonakala kanjalo ukumenyezela nxazonke . Kwakunjengesimo senkazimulo kaJehova . Lapho ngiyibona, ngawa ngobuso, ngezwa izwi lokhulumayo.

Isandla sikaJehova sasiphezu kwami , sangikhipha ngoMoya kaJehova , sangibeka phakathi kwesigodi; sasigcwele amathambo.

Wayesengiphakamisa uMoya , ngezwa emva kwami izwi lokuduma okukhulu, lathi: Mayibusiswe inkazimulo kaJehova endaweni yakhe;

Ngasuka, ngaphuma ngaya ethafeni ; bheka, inkazimulo kaJehova yayimi khona njengenkazimulo engayibona ngasemfuleni iKhebari , ngawa ngobuso bami.

bheka, inkazimulo kaJehova ka-Israyeli yavela ngasempumalanga , izwi lakhe lalinjengokuholoba kwamanzi amaningi , umhlaba wakhanya ngenkazimulo yakhe.

Inkazimulo kaJehova yangena endlini ngendlela yesango elibheke ngasempumalanga.

UMoya wangiphakamisa , wangingenisa egcekeni elin gaphakathi; bheka, inkazimulo kaJehova yayigcwalisa indlu.

Wayesengiyisa ngaphambi kwendlu ngendlela yesango lasenyakatho ; ngabuka, bheka, inkazimulo kaJehova yagcwalisa i ndlu kaJehova , ngawa ngobuso bami.

UJehova wathi kimi : Ndodana yomuntu , beka inhl iziyo yakho , ubone ngamehlo akho, uzwe ngezindlebe zakho konke engikukhuluma kuwe ngazo zonke izimiso zendlu kaJehova nangayo yonke imithetho yayo , uqaphele indawo yendlu yokungena nazo zonke izindawo zokuphuma zendlu engcwele.

Nanku umnikelo ongcwele : owabapristi uyakuba yizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu ngasenyakatho , nangasentshonalanga izinkulungwane eziyishumi ububanzi , nangasempumalanga izinkulungwane eziyishumi ububanzi , nangaseningizimu izinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu ubude, indlu engcwele kaJehova ibe phakathi nawo.

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.

Wayesengiyisa esivalweni sesango lendlu kaJehova elingasenyakatho; bheka, nampo abesifazane behlezi belilela uTamuzi.

Wayesengingenisa egcekeni elingaphakathi lendlu kaJehova ; bheka, ngasemnyango weth empeli likaJehova phakathi kompheme ne -altare kwakukhona kungathi amadoda angamashumi amabili nanhlanu efulathele ithempeli likaJehova, ubuso bawo bubhekene nempumalanga, ekhonza ilanga ngasempumalanga.

Noma enezithelo phakathi kwabafowabo, kuyakufika umoya wasempumalanga, umoya kaJehova ovela ehlane ; besewujabha umthombo, isiphethu sishe; uyakuphanga ingcebo yakhe, zonke izinto ezinxanelekayo.

Beka icilongo emlonyeni wakho ; onjengokhozi wehlela indlu kaJehova ; ngokuba beqile isivumelwano sami, baphambuka emthethweni wami.

Abayikuthululela uJehova iwayini; imihlatshelo yabo ayiyikuba mihle kuye, isinkwa sabo sibe njengesinkwa sabalilayo ; bonke abasidlayo bayakungcola , ngokuba isinkwa sabo siyakuba ngesephango, singangeni endlini kaJehova.

Niyakwenze njani ngosuku lomhlangano nangosuku lomkhosi kaJehova na?

Abaphangi bafikele onke amaduli angenalutho, ngokuba inkemba kaJehova iyadla, kusukela komunye umkhawulo womhlab a kuze kufike komunye , nenyama enokuthula ayikho.

Kepha uma ningalaleli , umphefumulo wami uyakukhala ngasese ngokuzidla kwenu; iso lami liyakukhala nokukhala , limululeka izinyembezi, ngokuba umhlambi kaJehova uthunjiwe.

Bayakufika bephuma emizini yakwaJuda, nasemaphandleni aseJerusalema, nasezweni lakwaBenjamini, nasehlanzeni, nasezintabeni, naseningizimu, beletha iminikelo yokushiswa , nemihlatshelo, neminikelo yempuphu , nenhlaka, befika neminikelo yokubonga endlini kaJehova.

Wayesebuya u Jeremiya eThofeti lapho uNkulunkulu ayemthume khona ukuba aprofethe; wema agcekeni lendlu kaJehova, wathi kubantu bonke:

UPhashuri indodana ka -Imeri umpristi owayengumbonisi omkhulu endlini kaJehova wamuzwa uJeremiya eprofetha ngalezo zinto.

UPhashuri wamshaya uJeremiya umprofethi, wamfaka esitokisini esasingasesangweni lasenhla lakwaBenjamini elalingasendlini kaJehova.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Ningawalaleli amazwi abaprofe thi abaprofetha kini; banifundisa okuyize, bakhuluma umbono wenhliziyo yabo , kungengokuvela emlonyeni kaJehova.

Ngokuba ngubani owake wem a emkhandlwini kaJehova ukuba abone , ezwe izwi lakhe na? Ngubani oqaphele izwi lakhe, walizwa, na?

Intukuthelo kaJehova ayiyikubuya aze enze, aze afeze umgomo wenhliziyo yakhe; ezinsukwini ezizayo niyakukuqonda nokukuqonda.

Nxa laba bantu , noma umprofethi, noma umpristi, bekubuza bethi: Iyini indaba kaJehova ? uyakubatshela ukuthi : Yinina eniyindaba , nokuthi: Ngiyakunilahla, usho uJehova.

Nomprofethi-ke, nompristi, nabantu abayakusho ukuthi : Indaba kaJehova, ngiyakuhambela lowo muntu nendlu yakhe.

Indaba kaJehova anisayikuyikhumbula, ngokuba izwi lalowo nalowo muntu liyakuba yindaba yakhe , lokhu niwahlanekezele amazwi kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu wethu.

Kepha uma nithi : Indaba kaJehova , khona uJehova usho kanje , uthi: Ngenxa yokuba nithi leli zwi lokuthi indaba kaJehova , noma mina ngathumela kini, ngathi: Aniyikuthi: Indaba kaJehova,

Ngabaprofethi. Inhliziyo yami yaphukile phakathi kwami , amathambo onke ami ayathuthumela ; nginjengomuntu odakiweyo , njengomuntu owahlulwe yiwayini ngenxa kaJehova nangenxa yamazwi akhe angcwele.

Izikhulu zakwaJuda zazizwa lezo zinto , zakhuphuka endlini yenkosi , zaya endlini kaJehova, zahlala esikhaleni sesango elisha lendlu kaJehova.

Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Yima egcekeni lendlu kaJehova, ukhulume kuyo yonke imizi yakwaJuda efika ukukhuleka endlini kaJehova onke amazwi engikuyala ukuwakhuluma kubo, ungagodli zwi.

Abapristi, nabaprofethi, nabo bonke abantu bezwa uJeremiya ekhuluma lawo mazwi endlini kaJehova.

Uprofetheleni egameni likaJehova ukuthi: Le ndlu iyakuba njengeShilo, nalo muzi uyakuchithwa kungabe kusaba khona owuhlalayo , na? Bonke abantu babebuthene kuJeremiya endlini kaJehova.

Ngase ngikhuluma kubapristi nakubo bonke laba bantu, ngithi: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ningawalaleli amazwi abaprofethi benu abaprofetha kini ukuthi: Bhekani, izitsha zendlu kaJehova ziyakubuyiswa eBabele masinyane. Ngokuba baprofetha amanga kini.

Kepha uma bengabaprofethi, uma izwi likaNkulunkulu likubo, mabamnxuse uJehova Sebawoti, ukuba izitsha ezisele endlini kaJehova, nasendlini yenkosi yakwaJuda, naseJerusalema zingayi eBabele.

yebo, usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, ngezitsha ezisele endlini kaJehova, nasendlini yenkosi yakwaJuda , naseJerusalema, uthi:

Kwathi ngawona lowo mnyaka ekuqaleni kokubusa kukaSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda ngomnyaka wesine , ngenyanga yesihlanu , uHananiya indodana ka-Azuri, umprofethi waseGibeyoni , wakhuluma kimi endlini kaJehova phambi kwabapristi nabantu bonke, wathi:

Ingakapheli iminyaka emibili ngiyakubuyisela kule ndawo zonke izitsha zendlu kaJehova azithatha kule ndawo uNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele, waziyisa eBabele,

Kepha umprofethi uJeremiya wathi kumprofethi uHananiya phambi kwabapristi, nabantu bonke ababemi endaweni kaJehova,

UJehova ukubeke umpristi esikhundleni sikaJehoyada umpristi ukuba nibe yizinduna zabo bonke abantu abahlanyay o nabaprofethayo endlini kaJehova ukuze ubafake esitokisini nasemaketangeni;

izwi lokujabula nezwi lokuthokoza , izwi lomyeni nezwi lomakoti , izwi labathi: Bongani uJehova Sebawoti , ngokuba uJehova muhle , ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade , nelabaletha iminikelo yokubonga endlini kaJehova. Ngokuba ngiyakukubuyisa ukuthunjwa kwezwe nje ngakuqala, usho uJehova.

Yiya endlini yamaRekabi , ukhulume kuwo , uwangenise endlini kaJehova kwelinye lamakamelo ayo, uwaphuzise iwayini.

ngabangenisa endlini kaJehova ekamelweni lamadodana kaHanani indodana ka-Igidaliya, umuntu kaNkulunkulu owayeseceleni kwekamelo lezikhulu elaliphezu kwekamelo likaMahaseya indodana kaShalumi, umlindisango.

UBaruki wayesefunda encwadini amazwi kaJeremiya endlini kaJehova ekamelweni l ikaGemariya indodana kaShafani umbhali egcekeni lasenhla ngasesikhaleni sesango elisha lendlu kaJehova ezindlebeni zabantu bonke.

UJeremiya wayesebiza uBaruki indodana kaNeriya ; uBaruki waloba emqulwini wencwadi onke amazwi kaJehova ayewakhulume kuye , ewathatha emlonyeni kaJeremiya.

UJeremiya wamyala uBaruki ngokuthi: Ngivalelwe, anginakungena endlini kaJehova.

Hamba wena , ufunde emqulwini owulobileyo , uthathe emlonyeni wami , amazwi kaJehova ezindl ebeni zabantu endlini kaJehova ngosuku lokuzila ukudla, uwafunde nasezindlebeni zabo bonke abakwaJuda abavela emizini yakubo.

UBaruki indodana kaNeriya wenza njengakho konke uJeremiya umprofethi amyala ngakho, efunda encwadini amazwi kaJehova endlini kaJehova.

Kepha yena nezinceku zakhe nabantu bezwe abawalalelanga amazwi kaJehova awakhulumayo ngesandla sikaJeremiya umprofethi.

USedekiya inkosi wathumela wamthatha uJeremiya umprofethi , wamzisa kuye esikhaleni sesithathu esisendlini kaJehova ; inkosi yathi kuJeremiya : Ngithanda ukubuza into kuwe, ungangifihleli lutho.

kwafika amadoda angamashumi ayisis hiyagalombili evela eShekemi , naseShilo, naseSamariya, izilevu zawo ziphuculiwe nezingubo ziklejuliwe , bezisikile, bephethe iminikelo yempuphu nempepho ezandleni zabo ukuba bakulethe endlini kaJehova.

Kwathi lapho uJeremiya eseqedile ukukhuluma kubantu bonke onke amazwi kaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo , uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo amthume nawo kubo, onke lawa mazwi,

Awu wena nkemba kaJehova , koze kube nini ungathuli na ? Buyela emgodleni wakho, uthule, uzole.

Makaqalekiswe owenza umsebenz i kaJehova ng okunganakekeli, aqalekiswe naye ogodla inkemba yakhe egazini.

Ngenxa yentukuthelo kaJehova aliyikuhlalwa muntu , kepha liyakuba yincithakalo lonke ; bonke abadlula eBabele bayakumangala , bancimfe ngenxa yazo zonke izinhlupheko zalo.

Memezani kulo nxazonke ; lizinikele, izisekelo zalo ziwile , izingange zalo zidiliziwe, ngokuba kuyimpindiselo kaJehova ; phindiselani kulo, nenze kulo njengokwenza kwalo.

Yizwi lababalekayo nabaphunyuka ezweni laseBabel e ukuba bamemeze eSiyoni impindiselo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu , impindiselo ngethempeli lakhe!

UJehova uvezile imfanelo yethu ; wozani silande eSiyoni umsebenz i kaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.

Lolani imicibisholo , nibambe izihlangu . UJehova uvusile umoya wamakhosi aseMediya, ngokuba icebo lakhe ngeBabele lingukuba alichithe , ngokuba lokhu kuyimpindiselo kaJehova, impindiselo ngethempeli lakhe.

Umhlaba uyathuthumela , uqhaqhazele, ngokuba amacebo kaJehova ngeBabele em i okuba enze izwe laseBabele libe yincithakalo , kuze kungabikho ohlala khona.

Phumani phakathi kwalo , bantu bami , nizikhulule, kube yilowo nalow o ekufuthekeni kwentukuthelo kaJehova.

Sijabhile, ngokuba sizwe inhlamba ; amahloni asibekela ubuso bethu , ngokuba abafokazi bangenile ezindaweni ezingcwele endlini kaJehova.

Balekani eBabele, yilowo nalowo akhulule ukuphila kwakhe, ninganqunywa ngokona kwalo , ngokuba kuyisikhathi sempindiselo kaJehova , uyakuliphindisela.

Washisa indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi ; nazo zonke izindlu zaseJerusalema, zonke izindlu ezinkulu, wazishisa ngomlilo.

Izinsika zethusi ezazisendlini yenkosi , nezinqe, nolwandle lwethusi okwakusendlini kaJehova amaKaledi akuhlephula , athuthela lonke ithusi lakho eBabele.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengakho konke akwenzileyo uJehoyakimi.

Izinsika zombili, nolwandle olwalulunye nje, nezinkabi eziyishumi nambili zethusi ezaziphansi kwezinye , inkosi uSolomoni eyayikwenzele indlu kaJehova, ithusi lazo zonke lezi zinto lalingenakulinganiswa.

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

Ngase ngithi mina : Laba bayiz impofana nje , bayiziwula, ngokuba abayazi indlela kaJehova, ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu wabo.

Yima esangweni lendlu kaJehova , umemeze lapho leli zwi , uthi: Zwanini izwi likaJehova nina nonke bakwaJuda eningena ngalawa m asango ukukhuleka kuJehova.

Ningasho kanjani , nithi: Sihlakaniphile, umthetho kaJehova unathi , na? Impela bheka, uthi lokuloba lwamanga lwababhali lusebenzile okwamanga.

Ngubani umuntu ohlakaniphileyo ongakuqonda lokhu , okhulumile kuye umlomo kaJehova, akumemezele, na? Izwe lichithelweni, lasha njengehlane, kungekho odabulayo, na?

Yonke imizi yalawo makhosi nawo onke amakhosi ayo uJoshuwa wakuthatha, wakuchitha ngosiko lwenkemba , wakuqothula njengokuyala kukaMose inceku kaJehova.

UMose inceku kaJehova na bantwana bakwa -Israyeli babebabulele ; uMose inceku kaJehova wabanika lona abakwaRubeni , nabakwaGadi, nenxenye yesizwe sakwaManase, laba yifa labo.

Isizwe sakwaLevi kuphela akasinikanga fa ; iminikelo kaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli yomlilo iyifa lakhe njengokukhuluma kwakhe kuye. Amafa akwaRubeni nakwaGadi nawenxenye yakwaManase

Kanye naye abakwaRubeni nabakwaGadi balamukela ifa abanika lona uMose ngaphesheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga , njengalokho inceku kaJehova uMose yabanika:

Ngokuba amaLevi awanasabelo phakathi kwenu , lokhu ubupristi bukaJehova buyifa lawo ; oGadi noRubeni nenxenye yesizwe sakwaManase sebamukela ifa labo ngaphesheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga abanika lona uMose inceku kaJehova.

Kwathi emva kokufa kukaMose inceku kaJehova , uJehova w akhuluma kuJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, isikhonzi sikaMose, wathi:

Khumbulani izwi aniyala ngalo uMose inceku kaJehova , ethi: U Jehova uNkulunkulu wenu uyakuniphumuza, aninike leli zwe.

uJehova aze aphumuze abafowenu njengani , nabo badle izwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu abanika lona, andukuba nibuyele ezweni lefa lenu aninika lona uMose inceku kaJehova ngaphesheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga , nilidle.

Isho kanje yonke inhlangano kaJehova , ithi: Isiphambeko sini enisenzile kuNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli ukuba nibuye namuhla ekumlande leni uJehova ngokuzakhela i-altare, nihlubuke namuhla uJehova.

Ububi basePeyori buncane yini kithi esingakazihlambululi kubo kuze kube namuhla, noma inhlangano kaJehova yehlelwa yisifo,

wathi kubo: Nigcinile konke uMose inceku kaJehova aniyala ngakho , nalalela izwi lami kukho konke enganiyala ngakho;

kepha libe ngufakazi phakathi kwethu nani naphakathi kwezizukulwane zethu emva kwethu , ukuze senze inkonzo kaJehova phambi kwakhe ngeminikelo yethu yokushiswa , nangemihlatshelo ye thu, nangeminikelo yethu yokuthula , ukuba abantwana benu bangasho kubantwana bethu ngesikhathi esizayo ukuthi: Aninasabelo kuJehova.

anishiyanga abafowenu lezi zinsuku eziningi kuze kube namuhla , kepha nigcinile imfanelo yomyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

Manje uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ubanikile abafowenu ukuphumula njengalokho ebekhuluma kubo ; ngalokho buyani , niye e matendeni enu ezweni lefa lenu aninika lona uMose inceku kaJehova ngaphesheya kweJordani.

Qaphelisisani kuphela ukwenza imiyalo nomthetho aniyala ngakho uMose inceku kaJehova ukuba nimthande uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu , nihambe kuzo zonke izindlela zakhe , nigcine imiyalo yakhe , ninamathele kuye , nimkhonze ngayo yonke inhliziyo yenu nangawo wonke umphefumulo wenu.

Uma neqa isivumelwano sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akuyala ngaso , niye nikhonze abanye onkulunkulu , nibakhothamele, intukuthelo kaJehova iyakunivuthela, nibhubhe masinyane ezweni elihle aninike lona.

UJoshuwa waloba lawo mazwi encwadini yomthetho kaNkulunkulu , wathatha itshe elikhulu , walimisa lapho phansi kwe -oki elingasendlini engcwele kaJehova.

Wayesethi uJoshuwa kubo abantu bonke : Bhekani, leli tshe liyakuba ngufakazi ngathi, ngokuba lizwile onke amazwi kaJehova awak huluma kithi; ngalokho liyakuba ngufakazi ngani, funa nimphike uNkulunkulu wenu.

Kwathi emva kwalezo zinto uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni , inceku kaJehova, wafa eneminyaka eyikhulu neshumi.

U-Israyeli wamkhonza uJehova zonke izinsuku zikaJoshuwa nazo zonke izinsuku zamalunga ayekhona izinsuku ezithile emva kukaJoshuwa , ayeyazi yonke imisebenzi kaJehova ayeyenzele u-Israyeli.

Kuyakuthi lapho amathe ezinyawo zabapristi abath wala umphongolo kaJehova, iNkosi yomhlaba wonke , eyakuma emanzini aseJordani , amanzi aseJordani anqamuke, amanzi avela ngenhla, eme nqwabanye.

UJoshuwa wathi kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli: Sondelani lapha , nizwe amazwi kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

Kwathi lapho bonke abantu sebewelile baphelela , umphongolo kaJehova wawela kanye nabapristi emehlweni abantu.

UJoshuwa wathi kuwo : Welani phambi komphongolo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu , niye phakathi kweJordani , netshathe, kube yilowo nalowo itshe ehlombe lakhe njengokomumo wezizwe zabantwana bakwa - Israyeli

Wayesenza ukuba umphongolo kaJehova uzunge ze umuzi , wawuhaqa kanye; base befika ekamu, balala ubusuku ekamu.

UJoshuwa wavuka ekuseni kakhulu , abapristi bathatha umphongolo kaJehova.

Abapristi abayisikhombisa , bethwele amacilongo ayisikhombisa ejubili phambi komphongolo kaJehova , bahamba njalo bewabetha amacilongo ; abahlomileyo bahamba phambi kwabo , nesigaba sasemuva sawulandela umphongolo kaJehova, bebetha amacilongo besahamba.

Kepha lonke isiliva , negolide, nezitsha zethusi nezensimbi kungcwele kuJehova; kuyakungena endlini yengcebo kaJehova.

Bawushisa umuzi ngomlilo , nakho konke okukuwo ; isiliva kuphela , negolide, nezitsha zethusi nezensimbi bakufaka e ndlini yengcebo endlini kaJehova.

UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni wabiza abapristi , wathi kubo : Phakamisani umphongolo wesivumelwano, abapristi abayisikhombisa bathwale amacilongo ayisikhombisa ejubili phambi komphongolo kaJehova.

Kubantu wathi: Dlulani, niwuzungeze umuzi, abahlomileyo badlule phambi komphongolo kaJehova.

Kepha abantwana bakwa -Israyeli beqa ngokuqalekisiweyo, lokhu u -Akani kaKarmi kaZabidi kaZera , owesizwe sakwaJuda , ethatha kukho okuqalekisiweyo; intukuthelo kaJehova yabavuthela abantwana ba kwa- Israyeli.

UJoshuwa waziklebhula izingubo zakhe , wawa n gobuso emhlabathini phambi komphongolo kaJehova kwaze kwahlwa , yena namalunga akwa - Israyeli; bathela uthuli emakhanda abo.

njengalokho uMose inceku kaJehova wayala abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, njengokulotshiweyo encwadini yomthetho kaMose , i-altare lamatshe angabaziwe, angaphakanyiselwanga muntu insimbi ; banikela phezu kwalo ngeminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova, banikela ngeminikelo yokuthula.

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.

Amadoda ayesethatha emphakweni wabo engabuzanga umlomo kaJehova.

Ngcwelisani ukuzila ukudla , nibize umhlangano; buthani amalunga, yebo, bonke abakhe ezweni , endlini kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu , nikhale kuJehova.

Iminikelo yempuphu neminikelo yokuphuzwa inqamukile endlini kaJehova; abapristi, izikhonzi zikaJehova, bayalila.

Kuyakuthi ngalolo suk u izintaba ziconse iwayini elimnandi , amagquma agobhoze ubisi , yonke imifula yakwaJuda igobhoze amanzi ; kuyakuvela umthombo endlini kaJehova oyakunisela isigodi saseShithimi.

UMose wakhuluma ku -Aroni naku -Eleyazare naku -Itamari amadodana akhe aseleyo, wathi: Thathani umnikelo wempuphu osele eminikelweni yomlilo kaJehova, niwudle ungenamvubelo ngaseceleni kwe -altare, ngokuba ungcwelengcwele,

niwudle endaweni engcwele , ngokuba kuyimfanelo yakho nemfanelo yamadodana akho eminikelweni yomlilo kaJehova ; ngokuba ngiyaliwe kanjalo.

U-Aroni wathi kuMose : Bheka-ke, namuhla banikele ngomnikelo wabo wesono nangomnikelo wabo wokushiswa phambi kukaJehova ; nokho ngehlelwe yilokhu mina ; uma bengidlile umnikelo wesono namuhla , bekuzakwamukeleka emehlweni kaJehova na?

Ningaphumi emnyango wetende lokuhlangana, funa nife, ngokuba amafutha okugcoba kaJehova aphezu kwenu. Benza-ke njengezwi likaMose.

U-Aroni wonikela ngempongo edliwe yinkatho kaJehova, anikele ngayo ibe ngumnikelo wesono.

engayilethanga emnyango wetende lokuhlangana ukunikela ngayo ibe ngumnikelo kaJehova ngaphambi kwetabernakele likaJehova , lowo muntu wobalelwa icala legazi ; uchithile igazi; lowo muntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.

akungabikho muntu wenzalo ka -Aroni umpristi oyisilima oyakusondela ukunikela ngeminikelo yomlilo kaJehova ; uyisilima; makangasondeli ukunikela ngesinkwa sikaNkulunkulu wakhe.

Bayakuba ngcwele kuNkulunkulu wabo , bangahlambalazi igama likaNkulunkulu wabo , ngokuba banikela ngeminikelo yomlilo kaJehova , isinkwa sikaNkulunkulu wabo; ngalokho bayakuba ngcwele.

Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: Imikhosi emisiweyo kaJehova eniyakuyimemezela ibe yimihlangano engcwele , yona iyimikhosi yami emisiweyo.

Le iyimikhosi emisiweyo kaJehova eniyakuyimemezela ibe yimihlangano engcwele ukunikela ngomnikelo womlilo kuJehova , umnikelo wokushiswa nomnikelo wempuphu , umhlatshelo neminikelo yokuphu zwa, kube yilowo nalowo ngosuku lwawo,

ngaphandle kwamasabatha kaJehova , nangaphandle kwezipho zenu , nangaphandle kwezithembiso zenu zonke , nangaphandle kweminikelo yenu yonke yesihle eninikela ngayo kuJehova.

Kepha ngosuku lweshumi nanhlanu lwenyanga yesikhombisa, lapho senibuthile izithelo zezwe , anogcina umkhosi kaJehova izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; ngosuku lokuqala makube ngukuphumula okuzothileyo , nangosuku lwesishiyagalombili kube ngukuphumula okuzothileyo.

Nansi imikhosi emisiweyo kaJehova , imihlangano engcwele eniyakuyimemezela ngezikhathi zayo ezimisiweyo.

UMose wabatshela -ke abantwana bakwa -Israyeli imikhosi emisiweyo kaJehova.

Bayifaka etilongweni ukuba batshelwe ngomlomo kaJehova.

Ziyakuba ngezika-Aroni nezamadodana akhe , bazidlele endaweni engcwele, ngokuba zingcwelengcwele , zingezakhe phakathi kweminikelo yomlilo kaJehova ngesimiso esiphakade. Isijeziso sohlambalaza uNkulunkulu

Okuseleyo komnikelo wempuphu k uyakuba ngokuka -Aroni nokwamadodana akhe; kungcwelengcwele eminikelweni yomlilo kaJehova.

okuseleyo komnikelo wempuphu kuyakuba ngokuka -Aroni nokwamadodana akhe; kungcwelengcwele eminikelweni yomlilo kaJehova.

Onke amanoni awo uyakuwasusa , njengalokhu amanoni emvu esuswa emhlatshelweni weminikelo yokuthula , umpristi awashise e -altare phezu kweminikelo yomlilo kaJehova , umpristi amenzele ukubuyisana ngesono sakhe one ngaso, aze athethelelwe.

awulethe k umpristi, umpristi acaphune kuwo ngokhweshe , kube yisikhumbuzo sawo, akushise e-altare phezu kweminikelo yomlilo kaJehova ; kungumnikelo wesono.

Bonke abesilisa phakathi k wabantwana baka -Aroni bayakukudla kube yisimiso esiphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu seminikelo yomlilo kaJehova ; konke okukuthintayo kuyakuba ngcwele.

izandla zakhe uqobo zilethe i minikelo yomlilo kaJehova , alethe amanoni kanye nesifuba ukuba isifuba sizuliswe , sibe ngumnikelo wokuzuliswa phambi kukaJehova.

Leso siyisabelo sika -Aroni nesabelo samadodana akhe seminikelo yomlilo kaJehova mhla ebaletha ukuba bamkhonze uJehova esikhundleni sobupristi,

OMose no-Aroni bangena etendeni lok uhlangana, babuye baphuma , bababusisa abantu; yayisibonakala inkazimulo kaJehova kubantu bonke.

Wayesethi uMose : Nansi into uJehova ayala ngayo ukuba niyenze , kuze kubonakale kini inkazimulo kaJehova.

UJuda ukhohlisile , isinengiso senziwe kw a-Israyeli naseJerusalema , ngokuba uJuda uyingcolisile indlu engcwele kaJehova ayithandayo , waganwa yindodakazi kankulunkulu wabezizwe.

Nimkhathazile uJehova ngamazwi enu . Nokho nithi: Simkhathaze kanjani? Ngokusho ukuthi : Bonke abenza okubi bahle emehlweni kaJehova ; yena uthokoza ngabo, noma: Uphi uNkulunkulu wokwahlulela na?

Kuyakushiwo, nina ndlu kaJakobe , ukuthi uMoya kaJehova unyinyekile ; yizenzo zakhe lezi na? Awamahle yini amazwi ami kohamba ngobuqotho?

Kepha azazi imicabango kaJehova , aziqondi amasu akhe , ngokuba uzibuthile njengezithungu esibuyeni.

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

Bayakuhlala, kube yilowo nalowo phansi komvini wakh e naphansi komkhiwane wakhe ; akakho oyakubesabisa , ngokuba umlomo kaJehova Sebawoti ukhulumile.

Uyakuma, aluse ngamandla kaJehova nangokuphakama kwegam a likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe ; sebeyakuhlala, ngokuba uzakuba mkhul u kuze kube semajukujukwini omhlaba.

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

kulethwe endlini kaJehova ulibo lomhlabathi wethu nolibo lwezithelo zemithi yezinhlobo zonke iminyaka ngeminyaka,

Wayesethi kubo : Hambani nidle okunonileyo , niphuze okumnandi , nithumele izabelo kwabangalungiselwanga lutho , ngokuba lolu suku lungcwele kuJehova ; ningadabuki, ngokuba injabulo kaJehova iyinqaba yenu.

Basuka entabeni kaJehova , bahamba ibanga lezinsuku ezintathu; umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova wahamba phambi kwabo ibanga lezinsuku ezintathu ukubafunela indawo yokuphumula.

Kwathi abantu bakhonona , kwabakubi ezindlebeni zikaJehova; esekuzwile uJehova, yavutha intukuthelo yakhe ; umlilo kaJehova washa phakathi kwabo, wabaqeda abasemkhawulweni wekamu.

UMose wezwa abantu bekhala emindenini yabo , kwaba yilowo nalowo muntu ngasemnyango wetende lakhe ; intukuthelo kaJehova yavutha kakhulu; kwakukubi emehlweni kaMose.

UMose waphuma, wabatshela abantu amazwi kaJehova; wabutha amadoda angamashumi ayisikhombisa amalunga ab antu, wawamisa ngasetendeni nxazonke.

Igama laleyo ndawo laqanjwa ngokuthi iThabe hera, ngokuba umlilo kaJehova washa phakathi kwabo.

Intukuthelo kaJehova yabavuthela; wayesemuka.

Kepha inhlangano yonke yathi mabakhandwe ngamatshe . Inkazimulo kaJehova yabonakala etendeni lokuhlangana kubo bonke abantwana bakwa - Israyeli. Intukuthelo kaJehova. Isijeziso sabakwa-Israyeli

kepha impela, kuphila kwami nenkazimulo kaJehova eyakugcwalisa wonke umhlaba,

lokhu kuyakuba kini insephe ukuba niyibheke , nikhumbule yonke imiyalo kaJehova, niyenze, ningahambi ngeyenu inhliziyo nangawenu amehlo enanivama ukukulandela ngokuphinga,

UKora wahlanganisela kubo yonke inhlangano ngasemny ango wetende lokuhlangana; inkazimulo kaJehova yabonakala kuyo yonke inhlangano.

Kwathi inhlangano isibahlanganyele oMose no-Aroni, babheka ngasetendeni lokuhlangana; bheka, ifu lalisibekela, inkazimulo kaJehova yabonakala.

Kanjalo nani niyakunikela ngomnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova ngakho konke okweshumi kwenu enikwamukelayo kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli; niyakunikela ku-Aroni umpristi ngomnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kaJehova.

Kepha umuntu ongcolayo engaziphothuli, lowo muntu uyakunqunywa phakathi kwebandla, ngokuba ungcolisile indlu engcwele kaJehova ; amanzi okuphothula akafafazwanga ngawo; ungcolile.

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

Imbongolo yab ona ingelosi kaJehova imi endleleni , inenkemba yayo ehoshiweyo esandleni sayo ; imbongolo yachezuka endleleni , yaya ensimini, kepha uBileyamu wayishaya imbongolo ukuyibuyisela endleleni.

Ingelosi kaJehova yayisima endleleni engumngcingo phakathi kwezivini , kwaba ludonga ngalapha nodonga ngalapha.

Imbongolo yayibona ingelosi kaJehova , yazigqula odongeni , yalimaza unyawo lukaBileyamu ngasodongeni; wabuye wayishaya.

Ingelosi kaJehova yaqhubeka yema endaweni eminyeneyo , lapho kwakungekho khona indlela yoku jika ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo.

Imbongolo yayibona ingelosi kaJehova , yalala phansi kukaBileyamu ; intukuthelo kaBileyamu yavutha, wayishaya imbongolo ngenduku yakhe.

UJehova wayesevula -ke amehlo kaBileyamu, wayibona ingelosi kaJehova imi endleleni, inenkemba yayo ehoshiweyo esandleni sayo ; wagoba ikhanda, wawa ngobuso bakhe.

Ingelosi kaJehova yathi kuye : Uyishayeleni imbongolo yakho kathathu na ? Bheka, ngiphumele ukumelana nawe, ngokuba indlela yakho iyingozi phambi kwami;

Wathi uBileyamu k uyo ingelosi kaJehova : Ngonile; ngokuba bengingazi ukuthi umi endleleni umelene nami; ngalokho uma kukubi emehlweni akho , ngiyakubuyela emuva.

Yayisithi ingelosi kaJehova kuBileyamu: Hamba nalawa madoda, kepha lelo zwi kuphela engiyakulikhuluma kuwe uyak ulikhuluma. UBileyamu wayesehamba nezikhulu zikaBalaki.

UBileyamu waphakamisa amehlo akhe , wabona u -Israyeli ehlezi ngokwezizwe zakhe; uMoya kaJehova wehlela phezu kwakhe.

U-Israyeli wazihlanganisa noBali Peyori . Intukuthelo kaJehova yayisimvuthela u-Israyeli.

UJehova wathi kuMose : Thabatha zonke izinhloko zabantu, uziphanyekele uJehova elangeni, ukuze intukuthelo evuthayo kaJehova ibuye ku-Israyeli.

ongaphuma phambi kwabo, angene phambi kwabo, abakhiphe, abangenise, ukuze inhlangano kaJehova ingabi njengezimvu ezingenamalusi.

Bhekani, laba benza ukuba abant wana bakwa -Israyeli ngesiluleko sikaBileyamu baphambeke kuJehova ngendaba yasePeyori, kwaba khona isifo phakathi kwenhlangano kaJehova.

nikuthathe enxenyeni yabo , nikunike u -Eleyazare umpristi , kube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kaJehova.

nentela kaJehova yezimvu yayingamakhulu ayi sithupha namashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu.

Izinkomo zaziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu nesithupha, intela kaJehova kuzo ingamashumi ayisikhombisa nambili.

Izimbongolo zaziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu namakhulu ayisihlanu, intela kaJehova kuzo ingamashumi ayisithupha nanye.

Abantu babe yizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesithupha, intela kaJehova kubo ingamashumi amathathu nambili.

UMose wamnika u -Eleyazare umpristi intela eyayingumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kaJehova, njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.

Silethile umnikelo kaJehova , kwaba yilowo nalowo lokho akutholileyo , izinto zegolide , nezigqizo, namasongo, nezindandatho, namacici, nemigexo ukuyenzela imiphefumulo yethu ukubuyisana phambi kukaJehova.

Intukuthelo kaJehova yavutha ngalolo suku, wafunga wathi:

Intukuthelo kaJehova yabavuthela abakwa -Israyeli, wabazulisa ehlane iminyaka engamashumi amane , saze saphela sonke leso sizukulwane esasenzile okubi emehlweni kaJehova.

Bhekani, senivukile nina esikhundleni sawoyihlo, inzalo yabantu abonayo, ukwandisa futhi intukuthelo kaJehova evuthela u-Israyeli.

Uyakunikela ngenqama ibe ngumhlatshelo womnikelo w okuthula kaJehova kanye neqoma lesinkwa esingenamvubelo; futhi umpristi anikele ngomnikelo wayo wempuphu nangomnikelo wayo wokuphuzwa.

Zonke izinsuku engumNaziri kaJehova akayikusondela esidumbini.

u-Aroni azulise amaLevi phambi kukaJehova abe ngumnikelo wokuzuliswa ovela kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, aze asebenze umsebenzi kaJehova.

Kepha umuntu ohlambulukileyo , engekho ekuhambeni , oyeka ukulenza iphasika, lowo muntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo , ngokuba akanikelanga ngomnikelo kaJehova ngesikhathi esinqunyiweyo ; lowo muntu uyakuthwala ububi bakhe.

Ngesiyalezo sikaJehova bamisa , nangesiyalezo sikaJehova bahamba ; bagcina inkonzo kaJehova ngesiyalezo sikaJehova ngesandla sikaMose.

Lawo madoda at hi kuye : Singcolisiwe yisidumbu somuntu ; sivinjelelwani ukunikela ngomnikelo kaJehova ngesikhathi sawo esinqunyiweyo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli na?

Wathi kimi uJehova : Ziphonse kumbumbi, inani elikhulu engilinganisiwe nalo yibo . Ngazamukela izinhlamvu ezingamashumi amathathu zesiliva , ngaziphonsa kumbumbi endlini kaJehova.

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

Ngalolo suku kuyakulotshwa ezikhencezweni zamahhashi ukuthi : Zahlukaniselwe uJehova, amakhanzi asendlini kaJehova abe njengemikhele phambi kwe-altare.

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

Base bethatha , bathi kuyo ingelosi kaJehova eyayimi phakathi kwemibomvana: Sihambahambile emhlabeni; bheka, wonke umhlaba uhlezi uthule.

Yayisithatha ingelosi kaJehova , yathi: Jehova Sebawoti , koze kube nini ungabi nasihe kulo iJerusalema nakuyo imizi yakwaJuda oyithu kuthelele le minyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa na?

Wayesengibonisa uJoshuwa umpristi omkhulu emi phambi kwengelosi kaJehova, noSathane emi ngakwesokunene sakhe ukumelana naye.

Ngase ngithi : Mababeke isigqoko esihlanzekileyo ekhanda lakhe . Base bebeka isigqoko esihlanzekileyo ekhanda lakhe , bamembathisa izingubo , ingelosi kaJehova isemi khona.

Ingelosi kaJehova yagomela kuJoshuwa, yathi:

Ngokuba ngubani oyakudelela usuku lwezinto ezincane , lapho ethokoza lawa mehlo ayisikhombisa kaJehova aqalaza emhlabeni wonke ukubona umthofu wokumisa esandleni sikaZerubabele, na?

nokukhuluma kubapristi abasendlini kaJehova Sebawoti nakubaprofethi ngokuthi: Ngikhale ngenyanga yesihlanu , ngizile, njengalokho ngenzile le minyaka eminingi, na?

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Ngiyakubuyela eSiyoni , ngihlale phakathi kweJerusalema; iJerusalema liyakuthiwa uMuzi Weqiniso nentaba kaJehova Sebawoti iNtaba Engcwele.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Maziqine izandla zenu nina enizwa kulezi zinsuku lawa mazwi avela emlonyeni wabaprofethi ababe khona mhla sibekwa isisekelo sendlu kaJehova Sebawoti, ithempeli, ukuba yakhiwe.

Kuyakuthi ngosuku lomhlatshelo kaJehova , ngihambele izikhulu , namadodana enkosi, nabo bonke abembethe isambatho sabezizwe.
