Ekubuseni kuka -Ahashiveroshi, ekuqaleni kokubusa kwakhe , baloba bamangalela abakhileyo kwaJuda naseJerusalema.

Ngokuba ngolokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala waqala ukukhuphuka eBabele; ngolokuqala lwenyanga yesihlanu wafika eJer usalema ngokwesandla esihle sikaNkulunkulu wakhe esasiphezu kwakhe,

Kuyakuba khona umgwaqo wensali yabantu bakhe , eyakusala e -Asiriya, njengalokho kwakunjalo ku -Israyeli ngosuku lokukhuphuka kwakhe ezweni laseGibithe.

UMoya kaJehova uyakuhlala phezu kwakhe , umoya wokuhlakanipha nowokuqonda, umoya wamasu nowamandla , umoya wokwazi nowokumesaba uJehova.

Ngokuba ukukhala kuzungeze imikhawulo yakwaMowabi , nokuklewula kwakhe kuze kube se-Egelayimi, nokububula kwakhe kuze kube seBeri Elimi.

Sizwile ngokuziphakamisa kukaMowabi ukuthi uphakeme kakhulu , nangokuzidla kwakh e nokuziqhenya kwakhe nentukuthelo yakh e nokuphafuza kwakhe okuzenzisayo.

Bayakuphanyeka phezu kwakhe lonke udumo lwendlu kayise , inzalo nabantwana, zonke izitsha ezincane, imicengezi nezinkamba.

Noma elula izandla zakhe phakathi kwaw o njengohlambayo elula ukuba ahlambe, uyakuthobisa ukuziphakamisa kwakhe kanye nobuhlakani bezandla zakhe.

Liyakuba yifa levuba nelikanondwebu , kwakhe kulo isikhova negwababa ; uyakwelula phezu kwalo intambo yencithakalo , nomthofu wokumisa wokuyize.

Izilwane zasehlane ziyakuhlangana nezimpungushe, nedemoni liyakukhala kumngane walo, kwakhe khona umkhovu, uzitholele indawo yokuphumula.

Ihubo likaHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda lapho wayekade egula , wasinda ekuguleni kwakhe:

Zonke izizwe zinjengento engeluth o phambi kwakhe , zibalwa njengokungelutho nokuyize kuye.

Awazi yini ? Awuzwanga na ? UJehova unguNkulunkulu ongunaphakade; udalile imikhawulo yomhlaba ; akapheli amandla , akakhathali, nokuqonda kwakhe akunakuphenywa.

Ngubani ovusile ukulung a kuphume empumalan ga, akubize ukuba kumlandele, anikele izizwe phambi kwakhe , amenze ukuba abuse amakhosi , abenze babe njengothuli ngenkemba yakhe , nanjengamabibi aphephezeliswayo ngomnsalo wakhe, na?

Bheka inceku yami engiyisekelayo , okhethiweyo wami othokoza ngay e umphefumulo wami; nginikele umoya wami phezu kwakhe , uyakukhiphela izizwe ukwahlulela.

UJehova uyaphuma njengeqhawe ; njengendoda yempi uyavusa ukushisekela kwakhe; uyakhala, yebo, uyabangalasa, enze ubuqhawe phezu kwezitha zakhe.

Wayesethela phezu kwakhe ukufutheka kwentukuthelo yakhe , namandla empi; kwamvuthela nxazonke , kepha akakwazanga ; kwamshisa, kepha akakubekanga enhliziyweni yakhe.

Usho kanje uJehova kogcotshiweyo wakhe, kuKoresi, osandla sakhe sokunene ngisibambile ukuba ngahlule izizwe phambi kwakhe , ngithukulule izinkalo zamakhosi , ngivule iminyango phambi kwakhe , amasango angabe esavalwa.

Vuka, vuka, usukume wena Jerusalem a ophuzile esandleni sikaJehov a indebe yokufutheka kwakhe ; uphuzile isitsha se ndebe yokutengezela , wasiminya.

Ngokuba yakhula njengehlumela phambi kwakhe , nanjengempande emhlabathini owomileyo ; yayingenasimo nabuhle ukuba siyibuke , yayingabukeki ukuba siyifune.

Ngenxa yobubi bokuhaha kwakhe ngathukuthela, ngamshaya, ngazisitheza ngisathukuthele, kepha waqhubeka wahlubuka ngendlela yenhliziyo yakhe.

Yikhona lokhu kuzila engikukhethileyo yin i nosuku lokuba umuntu awuhluphe umphefumulo wakhe ; ukuthi umuntu ugoba ikhanda lakhe njengomhlanga, endlale indwangu yamasaka nomlotha pha nsi kwakhe, na? Lokhu kambe ungakubiza ngokuthi ukuzil a nosuku olwamukelekayo kuJehova na?

Wabona ukuthi akukho muntu , wamangala ukuthi wayengekho omelayo ; yayisimsindisa ingalo yakhe, nokulunga kwakhe kwamphasa.

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

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

Ngasemuva abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bayakubuya , bamfune uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo noDavide inkosi yabo , babuyele kuJehova benovalo nakukho okuhle kwakhe ngezinsuku ezizayo.

Ningakhaleli ofileyo , ningamlileli, kepha nimkhalele nokumkhalela omukayo, ngokuba akasayikubuya, kasayikubona izwe lokuzalwa kwakhe.

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

Isikhulu sakhe siyakuba ngesiphuma kuye , nombusi wakhe uyakuvela phakathi kwakhe ; ngiyakumsondeza, asondele kimi , ngokuba ngubani oke waba nesibindi sokusondela kimi na? usho uJehova.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Abantu abasele enkembeni bafumana umusa ehlane, lapho u-Israyeli eya khona ukuthola ukuphumula kwakhe.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Osele k ulo muzi uyakufa ngenkemba , nangendlala, nangesifo, kepha ophumela kumaKaledi uyakuphila , nokuphila kwakhe kuyakuba yimpango kuye, aphile.

Mthathe, umbheke, ungamenzeli lutho olubi , kepha wenze kuye njengokusho kwakhe kuwe.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Bhekani, ngiyakunikela uFaro uHofira inkosi yaseGibithe esandleni sezitha zakhe nasesandleni sabafuna ukuphila kwakhe, njengalokho nganikela uSedekiya inkosi y akwaJuda esandleni sikaNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele , isitha sakhe esasifuna ukuphila kwakhe.

Izwi uJeremiya , umprofethi, alikhuluma kuBaruki, indodana kaNeriya , ekulobeni kwakhe lawa mazwi encwadini, ewathatha emlonyeni kaJeremiya, ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakimi , indodana kaJosiya , inkosi yakwaJuda , lokuthi:

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

Sizwile ngokuzidla kukaMowabi okukhulu kakhulu , ukuziphakamisa kwakhe, nokuzidla kwakhe , nokuziqhenya kwakhe , nokuzikhukhumeza kwenhliziyo yakhe.

Yeka ukuphela kwakhe amandla . Hhewulani! Yeka ukufulathela kukaMowabi ngamahloni, uMowabi abe ngohlekwayo no qeda amandla kubo bonke abamzungezayo.

Balekani, nibuye, nihlale ezigoxini nina bakhileyo eDedani , ngokuba ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwakhe ingozi ka -Esawu ngesikhathi sokumhambela kwami.

UJehova u vulile indlu yakhe yezikhali , ukhiphile izikhali zokufutheka kwakhe, ngokuba iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti inomsebenzi ezweni lamaKaledi.

Wawenza umhlaba ngamandla akhe , walimisa izwe ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe, ngokuqonda kwakhe waleneka izulu.

Izwi uJeremiya umprofethi ayala ngalo uSeraya indodana kaNeriya kaMakhaseya ekuhambeni kwakhe noSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda eya eBabele ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kwakhe . USeraya wayeyisikhulu sezindawo zokuphumula.

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

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

Yakhipha namehlo kaSedekiya ; inkosi yaseBabele yambopha ngamaketanga, yamyisa eBabele , yamfaka etilongweni kwaze kwaba sosukwini lokufa kwakhe.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesikhombisa wokuthunjwa kukaJehoyakini, inkosi yakwaJuda , ngenyanga yeshumi nambili , ngolwamashumi amabili nanhlanu lwenyanga , u-Evili Merodaki inkosi yaseBabele ngomnyaka wokuqala wokubusa kwakhe waphakamisa ikhanda likaJehoyakini inkosi yakwaJuda, wamkhipha etilongweni,

Waguqula izingubo zakhe zasetilongweni ; wadla njalo phambi kwakhe zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakhe.

Isabelo sakhe sasiyisabelo esimiyo semihla ngemihla , asiphiwa yinkosi yaseBabele zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakhe kwaze kwaba sosukwini lokufa kwakhe.

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.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Ohlakaniphileyo makangazibong i ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe , neqhawe malingazibong i ngobuqhawe balo , nocebileyo makangazibongi ngengcebo yakhe,

akwazise izimfihlakalo zokuhlakanipha , ngokuba ukuqonda kwakhe kuninginingi, uze wazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu , ukuba kube kuhle kuwe , wenza ukuba ikhohlakale inxenye yecala lakho.

Ungathola imfihlakalo kaNkulunkulu na ? Ungamfumana uSomandla kuze kube sekupheleleni kwakhe na?

Lokhu kuyakuba yinsindiso yam i ukuthi ongenaNkulunkulu akezi phambi kwakhe.

Akayikuceba, nemfuyo yakhe ayiyikuma , nokudla kwakhe akuyikukhothamela phansi.

Ububi buyakumlambela, ulungiselwe ingozi eceleni kwakhe.

Ukukhunjulwa kwakhe kuyakuphela emhlabeni, angabi negama ezweni.

kuyaguquka nokho ukudla kwakhe phakathi kwakhe , kube yinyongo yamabululu ezibilinini zakhe.

Ekusutheni kokuvama kwakhe uyaminywa ; izandla zakho konke ukuhlupheka ziyakumfikela.

Kuyakuthi lapho eyakugcwalisa isisu sakhe , uNkulunkulu aphonse kuye ukuvutha kwentukuthelo yakhe, akunise phezu kwakhe esekudleni.

Amagabade asesigodini ayakuba mnandi kuye ; bonke abantu bayakudonswa emva kwakhe , njengokuba bengenakubalwa nababe phambi kwakhe.

nangasenyakatho ekusebenzeni kwakhe , kepha akabonwa ; ujikela ngaseningizimu, kepha akabonakali.

Ukhona yini ongabala izimpi zakhe, nokukhanya kwakhe akuphumeli bani na?

Izinsika zezulu ziyathuthumela; ziyethuswa ngokukhuza kwakhe.

Ngamandla akhe uyanyakazisa amanzi ; ngokuqonda kwakhe uyachitha uRahabi.

Ngokuphefumula kwakhe izulu liyakhazimula ; isandla sakhe sigwazile inyoka esheshayo.

Indawo yabafileyo ize phambi kwakhe, nendawo yokubhubha ayinasisibekelo.

UNkulunkulu uyakuzwa ukukhala kwakhe, lapho ehlelwa lusizi, na?

lapho isibani sakhe sasikhanya phezu kwekhanda lami , ngihamba ebumnyameni ngokukhanya kwakhe,

Wayesethi uJehova kuSathane : Inhliziyo yakho iyiqaphele inceku yami uJobe na ? Ngokuba akakho onjengaye emhlabeni , umuntu ongenasici nolungileyo, omesaba uNkulunkulu , obalekela okubi ; usabambelela ekupheleleni kwakhe, noma ungivusele ukumchitha engenacala.

USathane wamphendula uJehova , wathi: Isikhumba ngesikhumba , yebo, konke umuntu anakho uyakunika ngokuphila kwakhe.

UJehova wayesethi kuSathane : Bheka, usesandleni sakho ; gcina ukuphila kwakhe kodwa.

umkami makasilele omunye, kuguqe abanye phezu kwakhe.

Ngokuba ngesaba ukubhujiswa nguNkulunkulu ; ngenxa yokuphakama kwakhe bengingenakwenza lutho.

kepha angivumelanga ulimi lwami ukuba lone ngokucela ukuphila kwakhe ngesifungo

ukuze aphambukise umuntu ekwenzeni kwakhe , anqume ukuzidla kumuntu;

unqanda umphefumulo wakhe ekubhujisweni , nokuphila kwakhe ukuba kungachithwa ngomkhonto.

Umphefumulo wakhe uyasondela egodini, nokuphila kwakhe kubabulali.

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

Ngokuba uyabuyisela kumuntu njengokwenza kwakhe , atholise kube yilowo nalowo njengezindlela zakhe.

kakhulu kangakanani, lapho uthi awumboni nokuthi, noma icala liphambi kwakhe, usamhlalela, na?

Bheka, uyasakaza ukukhanya kwakhe ngakuye ; uyasibekela ubuphansi bolwandle.

Ayajika, aphenduke njengokunquma kwakhe ukuba enze konke awayalayo ebusweni bomhlaba owakhiweyo,

USomandla singemqonde ; mkhulu ngamandla nangokwahlulela ; ngokulunga kwakhe okukhulu akoni lutho.

Ukuthimula kwakhe kubengezela ngokukhanya ; amehlo akhe anjengezinkophe zokusa.

Ukuphefumula kwakhe kokhela amalahle , nelangabi liphuma emlonyeni wakhe.

Entanyeni yakhe kuhlala amandla, nengebhe iyaxhuma phambi kwakhe.

Ekuvukeni kwakhe abanamandla bayesaba ; ngenxa yevuso baphela amandla.

Wenza umgudu ukhazimule emva kwakhe; kungathi utwa lungwevu.

Kanjalo uJehova wabusisa ukugcina kukaJobe kunokuqala kwakhe ; waba nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyishumi nane , namakamela ayizinkulungwane eziyisithupha , namabhangqa ayinkulungwane ezinka bi, nezimbongolo zezinsikazi eziyinkulungwane.

Bheka, injalo indlela yokuthokoza kwakhe; kuyakuvela abanye othulini.

UNkulunkulu akayikubuyisa intukuthelo yakhe ; phansi kwakhe bayakhothama abasizi bakaRahabi.

UJehova uNkulunkulu walungisela umhlakuva , wawukhulisa phezu kukaJona ukuba ube ngumthunzi phezu kwekhanda lakhe ukumophula kokubi kwakhe. UJona wathokoza ngomhlakuva ngokuthokoza okukhulu.

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

Kepha isizwe sakwaLevi uMose akasinikanga fa ; uJehova uNkulunkulu ka - Israyeli uyifa labo njengokukhuluma kwakhe kubo.

Manje bheka , uJehova ungisindisile njengokusho kwakhe le minyak a engamashumi amane nanhlanu, selokhu uJehova akhuluma leli zwi kuMose , u-Israyeli esahamba ehlane ; bheka, manje sengineminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili nanhlanu namuhla.

Kwathi ekufikeni kwakhe wamnxusa ukuba acele insimu kuyise ; wehla embongolweni yakhe; uKalebi wathi kuye: Ukhala ngani?

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.

Ngalolo suku uJehova wamkhulisa uJoshuwa emehlweni abo bonke abakwa-Israyeli; bamesaba njengalokho babemesaba uMose izinsuku zonke zokuhamba kwakhe.

Bamisa phezu kwakhe inqwaba yamatshe ; isekhona nanamuhla; uJehova waphenduka entukuthelweni yake enkulu . Ngalokho igama laleyo ndawo laqanjwa ngokuthi isigodi sase-Akori kuze kube namuhla.

Bonke abantu bempi ayenabo bakhuphuka , basondela, baya phambi komuzi, bamisa ngasenyakatho kwase -Ayi; kwakukhona isigodi phakathi kwakhe ne-Ayi.

Ngubani owaziyo uma enga yikubuya, ahawukele, ashiye isibusiso emva kwakhe, kube ngumnikelo wempuphu nomnikelo wokuphuzwa kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, na?

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

Abesehlala esegazini lokuhlambuluka izinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu nantathu, angathinti lutho olungcwele , angangeni endlin i engcwele , zize ziphelele izinsuku zokuhlambuluka kwakhe.

Nanxa seziphel ile izinsuku zokuhlambuluka kwakhe ngomfana noma ngentombazana, makalethe imvu enomnyaka munye , ibe ngumnikelo wokushiswa, nephuphu lejuba noma ihobhe , libe ngumnikelo wesono , akulethe ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana kumpristi,

Kodwa uma ngokubona kwakhe umuna umi , kumilile kuwo izinwele ezimnyama, umuna usupholile , uhlambulukile; umpristi makasho athi uhlambulukile.

Zonke izinsuku isifo sisekuye uyakuba ngongcolile; ungcolile; uyakuhlala yedwa; indawo yokuhlala kwakhe iyakuba ngaphandle kwekamu.

umpristi ambheke ngosuku lwesikhombisa ; uma isifo ngokubona kwakhe sisemi, ibala lingandanga esikhumbeni, bheka, khona umpristi uyakumvalela ezinye izinsuku eziyisikhombisa,
