Kodwa kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli uSolomoni akakhiphanga izigqila ngokuba bona babe ngamadoda empi , nezinceku zakhe , nezikhulu zakhe , nezinduna zakhe, nabaphathi bezinqola zakhe, nabamahhashi bakhe.

Bahlukaniswa ngenkatho, laba nalaba, ngokuba kwakukhona izikhulu zendlu engcwele nezikhulu zikaNkulunkulu emadodaneni ka -Eleyazare nasemadodaneni ka-Itamari.

UShemaya, indodana kaNethaneli , umbhali ongowamaLevi , wabaloba phambi kwenkosi , nezikhulu, noSadoki, nezikhulu, noSadoki umpristi , no- Ahimeleki indodana ka -Abiyathara, nezinhloko zawoyise babapristi namaLevi; enye indlu yawoyise yakhishelwa u -Eleyazare, nenye yakhishelwa u-Itamari.

Nazi izigaba zabapristi nezamaLevi zazo zonke izinkonzo zendlu kaNkulunkulu; kuyakuba nawe emsebenzini wonke abantu abazinikela ngenhliziyo naba yizingcweti ezinkonzweni zonke; nezikhulu nabantu bonke bayakulalela konke okukhulumayo.

Zase zinikela ngenhliziyo izikhulu zawoyise , nezikhulu zezizwe zakwa - Israyeli, nezinduna zezinkulungwane nez amakhulu kanye nezinduna zomsebenzi wenkosi;

Uyamvusa ompofu othulini , uyaphakamisa impabanga ezaleni , abahlalise nezikhulu, badle ifa lesihlalo sobukhosi , ngokuba izinsika zomhlaba zingezikaJehova; ubekile izwe phezu kwazo.

UJehoyakini inkosi yakwaJuda waphuma , waya enkosini yaseBabele, yena nonina, nezinceku zakhe , nezikhulu zakhe , nezinduna zakhe; inkosi yaseBabele yamthatha ngomnyaka wesishiyagalombili wokubusa kwakhe.

UHezekiya inkosi nezikhulu bawayala amaLevi ukumdumisa uJehova ngamazwi kaDavide nangaka-Asafa umboni . Badumisa ngokuthokoza , bakhothamisa amakhanda abo, bakhuleka.

Ngokuba inkosi yayelulekene nezikhulu zayo nebandla lonke laseJerusalema ukuba bagcine iphasika ngenyanga yesibili.

Ngokuba uHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda wayenikile ibandla izinkunzi eziyinkulungwane nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa zibe yiminikelo, nezikhulu zazinikile ibandla izinkunzi eziyinkulungwane nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyishumi; abapristi abaningi bazingcwelisa.

Lapho uHezekiya nezikhulu beza ukuzibona izinqwaba, bambonga uJehova nabantu bakhe u-Israyeli.

welulekana nezikhulu zakhe namaqhawe akhe ukuba bavimbe amanzi emithombo eyayingaphandle komuzi; bamsiza.

ukuze amhlalise nezikhulu, yebo, izikhulu zabantu bakhe.

abantukazana nezikhulu, abacebileyo nabampofu.

Nango uBenjamini, omncane, umbusi wabo, neviyo lezikhulu zakwaJuda, izikhulu zakwaZebuloni nezikhulu zakwaNafetali.

Namakhosi omhlaba nezikhulu , nezinduna, nabacebileyo, nabanamandla, nezigqila zonke , nabakhululekileyo bacasha emihumeni nasemaweni ezintaba;

INkosi igwinyile onke amakhaya kaJakobe ingahawukelanga. Ngentukuthelo yayo, ibhidlizile izinqaba zendodakazi yakwaJuda, yazidilizela emhlabathini, yangcolisa umbuso nezikhulu zawo.

Amasango alo ashona emhlabathini ; wachitha, wayaphula imigoqo yalo . Inkosi nezikhulu zalo baphakathi kwezizwe , lapho kungekho khona umthetho. Nabaprofethi balo abatholi mbono kuJehova.

Kepha abaJuda bavusa abesifazane abaqotho abanesithunzi nezikhulu zomuzi, bavusela oPawulu noBarnaba ukuzingelwa , babaxosha emikhawulweni yabo.

abapristi abakhulu nezikhulu zabaJuda base bemangalela uPawulu kuye , bamncenga,

Khona ngangomuso kwafika o -Agripha noBernike ngemvunulo enkulu , bangena endlini yamacala kanye nezinduna zenkulungwane nezikhulu zomuzi; uFestu wayala ukuba uPawulu alethwe.

Wayefundisa ethempelini imihla ngemihla . Kepha abapristi abakhulu , nababhali, nezikhulu zabantu bafuna ukumbulala.

UJesu wayesebabiza , wathi kubo : Niyazi ukuthi abathiwa babusa izizwe bazenza amakhosi phezu kwazo , nezikhulu zazo ziphethe amandla phezu kwazo.

Kepha uJesu wababiza , wathi: Niyazi ukuthi ababusi bezizwe bazenza amakhosi phezu kwazo, nezikhulu zazo ziphethe amandla phezu kwazo.

Inkosi yabo iyakuya ekuthunjweni , yona nezikhulu zayo kanyekanye , usho uJehova.

ukuba zimlethe uVashiti inkosikazi phambi kwenkosi , abe nomqhele wobukhosi ukuba abonise abantu nezikhulu ubuhle bakhe , ngokuba wayebukeka kahle.

UMemukhani wathi phambi kwenkosi nezikhulu : UVashiti, inkosikazi, akonanga enkosini kuphela , kepha nakuzo zonke izikhulu nakubantu bonke abasezifundeni zenkosi u-Ahashiveroshi.

ngomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kwayo , yenzela izikhulu zayo zonke nezinceku zayo idili , amaqhawe asePheresiya naseMediya , nabakhulu nezikhulu zezifunda bephambi kwayo,

Kwase kubizwa abalobi benkosi nge nyanga yokuqala ngosuku lweshumi nantathu lwayo , kwalotshwa njengakho konke uHamani ayala angakho othulasizwe benkosi , nababusi ababephethe izifunda ngezifunda , nezikhulu zezizwe ngezizwe , izifunda ngezifunda njengokubhala kwazo , nezizwe ngezizwe njengolim i lwazo ; kwalotshwa egameni lenkosi u -Ahashiveroshi, kwanamathiselwa ngendandatho yenkosi.

Abalobi benkosi babizwa ngaleso sikhathi ngenyanga yesithathu, eyinyanga kaSivani, ngolwamashumi amabili nantathu lwayo ; kwalotshwa njengakho konke uMoridekayi ayala ngakho abaJuda , nawothulasizwe, nababusi, nezikhulu zezifunda , kusukela e -Indiya kuze kufike eKushe , izifunda eziyikhulu namashumi amabili nesikhombisa , izifunda ngezifunda njengokubhala kwazo , nezizwe ngezizwe njengolimi lwazo , nabaJuda njengokubhala kwabo nanjengolimi lwabo.

nakuwo amaNethini uDavide nezikhulu ababewanikele enkonzweni yamaLevi amaNethini angamakhulu amabili namashumi amabili , abizwa onke ngamagama.

ngabalinganisela isiliva negolide nezitsha , umnikelo wendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu, okwakunikelwe ngawo yinkosi nabeluleki bayo, nezikhulu zayo, naye wonke u-Israyeli owayelapho;

Lindani, nikugcine, nize nikulinganise ngaphambi kwezikhulu zabapristi nezamaLevi nezikhulu zawoyise bakwa -Israyeli eJerusal ema emakamelweni endlu kaJehova.

Idwala lakhe liyakunyamalala ngovalo, nezikhulu zalo ziyakuphela amandla ngebhanela, usho uJehova omlilo wakhe useSiyoni , nosithando sakhe siseJerusalema.

UJehova uyakungena ekwahluleleni namalunga abantu bakhe nezikhulu zabo ngokuthi: Yinina eniqedile isivini, impango yabampofu isezindlini zenu.

Inkosi yakhuluma ku -Ashipenazi, induna yabathenwa bayo , ukuba athathe kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli abozalo lwenkosi nezikhulu, abalethe,

Base beletha izitsha zegolide ezazikhishwe ethempelini lendlu kaNkulunkulu yaseJerusalema, inkosi, nezikhulu zayo , nawomkayo, nezancinza zayo baphuza ngazo.

Khona uDaniyeli lo wabadlula abongameli nezikhulu , ngokuba umoya ophakemeyo wawukuye ; inkosi yayicabanga ukummisa phezu kombuso wonke.

Khona abongameli nezikhulu base befuna ukuthola utho ngoDaniyeli oluqondene nombuso, kepha abatholanga lutho nacala kuye , ngokuba wayethembekile; akutholwanga siphosiso nacala kuye.

Bonke abongameli bombuso , nababusi, nezikhulu, nabomkhandlu, nezinduna balulekene kanyekanye ukuba kumiswe isimiso senkosi , kumenyezelwe isiyalezo esiqinileyo sokuthi yilowo nalowo ocela isicelo nakumuphi unkulunkulu noma kumuntu ngezinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu, kuphela kuwe nkosi , uyakuphonswa emph andwini wezingonyama.

Khona uJosefa wakhuphuka ukuyommbela uyise ; zakhuphuka n aye zonke izinceku zikaFaro , nezikhulu zendlu yakhe , nezikhulu zonke zezwe laseGibithe,

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

abaseBabele, nawo onke amaKaledi , iPhekodi, neShowa, neKhowa, nabo bonke abase -Asiriya kanye nabo , izinsizwa ezinxanelekayo , izinduna, nababusi, nabakhulu, nezikhulu, nabadumileyo, bonke bekhwele amahhashi.

Iphi inkosi yakho manje ukuba ikusindise emizini yakho yonke; nabahluleli bakho, wena owathi: Ngiphe inkosi nezikhulu ?

Ngobubi babo bayathokozisa inkosi, nezikhulu ngamanga abo.

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.

Ngokuba bheka , ngikubekile namuhla ube ngumuzi obiyelweyo , nensika yensimbi, nezingange zethusi ngakulo izwe lonke , nangawo amakhosi akwaJuda nezikhulu zalo, nangakubo abapristi balo nabantu bezwe.

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.

kanye noFaro inkosi yaseGibithe , nezinceku zakhe , nezikhulu zakhe , nabantu bakhe bonke,

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

Njengesela linamahloni, lapho selifunyenwe, kanjalo indlu yakwa -Israyeli iyakuba namahloni, bona kanye namakhosi abo , nezikhulu zabo, nabapristi babo, nabaprofethi babo

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.

ngisho izikhulu zakwaJuda , nezikhulu zaseJerusalema , nabathenwa, nabapristi, nabo bonke abantu bezwe ababedlula phakathi kwezinhlangothi zethole,

USedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, nezikhulu zakhe, ngiyakubanikela esandleni sezitha zabo , nasesandleni sabafuna ukuphila kwabo , nasesandleni sempi yenkosi yaseBabele, asebenyukile kini.

UNebuzaradani induna yabalindi kanye noNebushazibani induna yezinceku, noNerigali Sareseri induna yabapristi , nezikhulu zonke zenkosi yaseBabele base bethumela,

Kepha siyakwenza nokwenza onke amazwi aphumile emilonyeni yethu , sishisele inkosikazi yezulu impepho , siyithululele iminikelo yokuphuzwa , njengalokho senzile , thina nawobaba , namakhosi ethu , nezikhulu zethu emizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema, ngokuba sasisuthi isinkwa, sahlala kahle, asabona okubi.

Impepho enayishisa emizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema nina nawoyihlo, namakhosi enu , nezikhulu zenu , nabantu bezwe , uJehova akayikhumbulanga, ayingenanga enhliziyweni yakhe, na?

Ngokuba ngenxa yokwethemb a kwakho imisebenzi yakh o nengcebo yakho nawe uyakubanjwa, uKemoshi aye ekuthunjweni , abapristi bakhe nezikhulu zakhe kanyekanye.

Hhewula, Heshiboni, ngokuba i -Ayi lichithekile , nikhale, madodakazi aseRaba, nibhince izindwangu zamasaka , nilile, nigijime phakathi kwezintango, ngokuba uMilikomu uyakuya ekuthunjweni , abapristi bakhe nezikhulu zakhe kanyekanye.

Ngiyakubeka isihlalo sami sobukhosi e -Elamu, ngichithe khona inkosi nezikhulu, usho uJehova.

noma kanye nezikhulu ezinegolide ezazigcwalisa izindlu zazo ngesiliva,

nayo yonke imizi yasethafeni, nawo wonke umbuso kaSihoni inkosi yama- Amori owayebusa eHeshiboni, ambulalayo uMose kanye nezikhulu zakwaMidiyani, o-Evi, noRekemi, noSuri, noHure, noReba, izikhulu zikaSihoni ezazakhe kulelo zwe.

nezikhulu eziyishumi kanye naye , isikhulu sibe sinye ngendlu kayise ezizweni zonke zakwa -Israyeli, yileso naleso siyinhloko yendlu kayise phakathi kwemindeni yakwa-Israyeli.

Kuthe uFinehasi umpristi , nezikhulu zenhlangano , izinhloko zemindeni yakwa-Israyeli ezazinaye sezizwile amaz wi akhulunywa ngabantwana bakwaRubeni, nangabantwana bakwaGadi , nangabantwana bakwaManase , kwaba kuhle emehlweni abo.

UFinehasi indodana ka -Eleyazare umpristi nezikhulu babuya kubantwana bakwaRubeni nakubantwana bakwaGadi e zweni lakwaGileyadi , bebuyela ezweni laseKhanani kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, bababuyisela izwi.

Ukuthula kuyakuba yilokhu : lapho umAsiriya engena ezweni lakithi , anyathele ezindlini zethu zobukhosi, siyakumvusela abelusi abayisikhombisa nezikhulu zabantu eziyisishiyagalombili.

Ngalokho, Nkulunkulu wethu , Nkulunkulu omkhulu onamandla owesabekayo, ogcina isivumelwano nomusa , yonke le nkathazo mayingabi ncane ebusweni bakho esificile thina , namakhosi ethu , nezikhulu zethu , nabapristi bethu, nabaprofethi bethu, nawobaba, nabo bonke abantu bakho , kusukela esikhathini samakhosi ase-Asiriya kuze kube namuhla.

namakhosi ethu, nezikhulu zethu, nabapristi bethu, nawobaba abagcinanga umthetho wakho , kabalalelanga imiyalo yak ho nezixwayiso zakho obaxwayise ngazo.

Yilabo ababalwayo, ababalwa nguMose nangu -Aroni kanye nezikhulu zakwa-Israyeli, zingamadoda ayishumi nambili, kwaba yileyo naleyo yamela indlu kayise.

UBileyamu wa vuka ekuseni , wabophela imbongolo yakhe , wahamba nezikhulu zakwaMowabi.

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

OMose no -Aroni nezikhulu zenhlangano babala amadodana amaKohati ngemindeni yawo nangezindlu zawoyise,

Maye kuwe lizwe onkosi yakho ingumntwana , nezikhulu zakho zinedili ekuseni!
