Wonke u -Israyeli wabuthana kuDavide , wathi: Bheka, thina siyithambo lakho nenyama yakho.

Kwase kwehla umoya phezu kuka -Amasayi owayeyinhloko yabangamashumi amathathu, wathi: Singabakho thina, Davide, sinawe, wena ndodana kaJese ; ukuthula, ukuthula makube nawe , ukuthula makube nabakusizayo, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wakho uyakusiza . Wayesebamukela uDavide, wabenza izinhloko zeviyo.

Kepha ngaye nikuJesu Kristu owenzelwe thina ukuhlakanipha okuvela kuNkulunkulu nokulunga kanye nokungcweliswa nokuhlengwa,

Kepha thina asamukelanga umoya wezwe kodwa umoya ovela kuNkulunkulu, ukuze sikwazi esikuphiwe nguNkulunkulu ngomusa,

Ngokuba ngubani owake wazi umqondo weNkosi ukuba angaze ayifundise na? Kepha thina sinomqondo kaKristu.

Kepha thina, bazalwane, lokhu besahlukanisiwe nani isikhashana ngobuso kungenganhliziyo, kwaba yikhona sikhuthalela kakhulu ukubona ubuso benu ngokunxanela okukhulu.

Ngokuba lokho sikusho kini ngezwi leNkosi ukuthi thina , esisekhona sisasele kuze kube sekufikeni kweNkosi, asiyikubandulela nempela abaleleyo,

Ngalokho yehla , nkosi, uma kuyisifiso senhliziyo yakho ukwehla , thina simkhaphele esandleni senkosi.

Base bethuma umphongolo kaNkulunkulu e -Ekroni. Kwathi ekufikeni komphongolo kaNkulunkulu e -Ekroni abase -Ekroni bakhala bathi : Balethile umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli kithi ukuba usibulale thina nabantu bakithi.

Bathuma babutha onke amakhosi amaFilisti , bathi: Wususeni umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, ubuyele endlini yawo , ukuba ungasibulali thina nabantu bakithi, ngokuba kwakukhona ukungquzuka okokufa emzini wonke; isandla sikaNkulunkulu sasinzima kakhulu khona.

Kepha besaba kakhulu impela , bathi: Bheka, amakhosi amabili awemanga phambi kwakhe; pho, thina singema kanjani na?

Kepha thina, uJehova unguNkulunkulu wethu ; asimshiyanga; sinabapristi abamkhonzayo uJehova, amadodana ka-Aroni namaLevi emisebenzini yabo;

Kepha thina asiyikuzibonga ngaphezu kokulinganisa, kodwa ngesilinganiso sendawo esiyisilinganiso asilinganisele sona uNkulunkulu , ukuze sifinyelele nakini.

Kade nicabanga ukuthi siyaziphendulela kini . Thina sikhuluma phambi kukaNkulunkulu sikuKristu ; kepha konke , bathandwa, kwenzelwa ukwakhiwa kwenu.

Kepha ngiyethemba ukuthi nizakwazi ukuthi thina asisibo abokwaliwa.

Siyakhuleka kuNkulunkulu ukuba ningenzi lutho olubi , angisho ukuze sibonakale thina singabavunyiweyo kepha ukuba nina nikwenze ok uhle, noma thina singaba njengabaliwayo.

Ngokuba siyajabula , nxa sibuthakathaka thina , nina-ke ninamandla ; sikukhulekela nalokhu: ukupheleliswa kwenu.

Yebo, thina ngokwethu sasizizwele ukuthi sinqunyelwe ukufa , ukuze singazethembi thina, kodwa sethembe uNkulunkulu ovusa abafileyo,

Kepha thina sonke esibuka ngobuso obambuliwe inkazimulo yeNkosi njengasesibukweni siyaguqulwa , sibe njengalowo mfanekiso ngokuya enkazimulweni, njengalokhu kumi ngeNkosi enguMoya.

Ngokuba asizishumayeli thina , kodwa sishumayela uKristu Jesu eyiNkosi nokuthi siyizikhonzi zenu ngenxa kaJesu.

Ngokuba thina sonke simelwe ukubonakaliswa phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela sikaKristu , ukuze yilowo nalowo amukele njengalokho akwenzileyo esesemzimbeni, noma okuhle noma okubi. Ubukhulu benkonzo yokubuyisana

Kanjalo thina asisayikwazi umuntu ngokwenyama ; nokuba besimazi uKristu ngokwenyama, nokho manje asisamazi.

Ngokuba thina esisekhona kuleli dokodo sibubula , sisindwa, ngokuba asithandi ukwamb ulwa kodwa ukwelakanyiswa , ukuze okufayo kugingwe ngukuphila.

Kepha thina esisebenza kanye naye siyanincenga ukuba ningawamukeleli ize umusa kaNkulunkulu --

Linakuvumelana kuni ithempeli likaNkulunkulu nezithombe na ? Ngokuba thina siyithempeli likaNkulunkulu ophilayo, njengokuba washo uNkulunkulu ukuthi: Ngiyakuhlala phakathi kwabo, ngihambe phakathi kwabo; ngiyakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami.

Nokho uNkulunkulu oduduza abadanileyo usiduduzile thina ngokufika kukaThithu,

funa uma ngabe kufika kanye nami abaseMakedoniya , banifumane ningakabi nilungisele, sijabhe thina -- singasaniphathi nina -- ngaleli themba.

kuze kuthi thina ngokwethu sizincome ngani emabandleni kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yokukhuthazela kwenu nokukholwa ekuzingelweni kwenu konke nasezinhluphekweni enibekezela kuzo,

Kepha thina simelwe ukubonga uNkulunkulu n jalo ngani bazalwane abathandwa yiNkosi , ngokuba kwasekuqaleni uNkulunkulu wanikhethela ukusindiswa ngokungcwelisa kukaMoya nangokukholwa yiqiniso

ngokubathanda abakuzondayo nangokubazonda abakuthandayo . Ngokuba umemezele namuhla ukuthi izikhulu nezinceku azilutho kuwe, lokhu ngibona namuhla ukuthi uma ebephilile u -Abisalomu thina sonke besifile namuhla , ngabe kulungile emehlweni akho.

Izizwe zonke zakwa-Israyeli zafika kuDavide eHebroni , zasho zathi: Bheka, thina siyithambo lakho nenyama yakho.

Ngalokho-ke thina sifanele ukubamukela abanjalo , ukuze sibe yizisebenzi zeqiniso kanye nabo. Isibonelo esihle nesibi

Ngalobela ibandla okuthile , kodwa uDiyotrefe othanda ukuba abe mkhulu phakathi kwabo akasamukeli thina.

UGali indodana ka-Ebedi wathi: Ngubani u-Abimeleki, ngubani uShekemi, ukuba simkhonze, na? Akasiyo indodana kaJerubali, noZebule yinduna yakhe na? Khonzani abantu bakaHamori uyise kaShekemi. Thina siyakumkhonzelani yena na?

Khona thina bantu bakho, izimvu zedlelo lakho, siyakukubonga kuze kube phakade, sishumayele udumo lwakho ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane.

Izinsuku zeminyaka yethu zineminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa; kuthi uma ziziningi , zineminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili ; nokho ukuvama kwazo kungukuhlupheka nelize, ngokuba zidlula masinyane , thina siyandiza, simuke.

Ngokuba yena unguNkulunkulu wethu , thina singabantu bedlelo lakhe nezimvu zesandla sakhe. Namuhla, uma nilizwa izwi lakhe,

Obaba bona abasekho; thina sithwala ububi babo.

Kepha uPawulu wathi kuzo : Basishayile phambi kwabantu singalahlwanga cala, thina singabantu abangamaRoma , basiphonsa etilongweni ; manje basikhipha ngasese na? Qhabo, akuze bona, basikhiphe.

Kepha thina sandulela ukuya emkhunjini , samuka saya e -Asu, lapho sasizakumkhwelisa khona uPawulu ; ngokuba wayenqumile kanjalo , yena ebezakuhamba ngezinyawo.

Kepha thina samuka ngomkhumbi eFilipi emva kwezinsuku zezinkwa ezingenamvubelo, safika kubo eTrowa ngezinsuku eziyisihlanu, sahlala khona izinsuku eziyisikhombisa. UPawulu uvusa u-Evitiku ekufeni

Sesikuzwile lokho samncenga thina kanye nabakuleyo nd awo ukuba angakhuphukeli eJerusalema.

Thina sesiqedile ukuhamba ngomkhumbi sisuka eTire , safika ePetolemayi , sabingelela abazalwane, sahlala nabo usuku lwaba lunye.

Manje-ke nina kanye nomphakathi yazisani induna yenkulungwane ukuba imehlisele kini ngokungathi nizakuhlolisisa indaba yakhe ; thina-ke silungele ukumbulala engakasondeli.

Thina sonke esasisemkhunjini besingabantu abangamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisikhombisa nesithupha.

Base bethi kuye : Thina asamukelanga ncwadi ngawe evela eJudiya , akufikanga namuntu wabazalwane ukubika nokukhuluma utho olubi ngawe.

UJesu lo uNkulunkulu wamvusa, esingofakazi bakho thina sonke;

Abayishumi nambili base bebiza ibandla labafundi , bathi: Akukuhle ukuba thina sishiye izwi likaNkulunkulu, sikhonze ematafuleni.

Kepha thina sizakuqinisela ekukhulekeni nasenkonzweni yezwi.

Kepha thina asisibo abokuhlehlela ekubhujisweni, kodwa singabokukholwa, kuze kube ngukusindiswa komphefumulo.

Bhekani, ningamali okhulumayo ; ngokuba uma bengaphunyukanga labo ababemala lowo owabaxwayisa emhlabeni , kakhulu asiyikuphuny uka thina esimfulathelayo oxwayisa esezulwini,

Sine-altare thina, abangenalungelo lokudla kulo abakhonza etabernakele.

thina siyakuphunyuka kanjani, uma sidebesela ukusindiswa okungaka na? -- okwakhulunywa kuqala ngeNkosi, kwaqiniswa kithina yilabo abamuzwayo,

kepha uKristu uthembekile njengendodana phezu kwendlu yakhe , esiyindlu yakhe thina, uma sibambisisa isibindi nentokozo yethemba liqine kuze kube sekupheleni. Abakholwayo mabangadeleli izwi lakhe

Ngokuba siyangena ekuphumuleni thina esikholwayo njengokusho kwakhe ukuthi: Kanjalo ngafunga ekuthukutheleni kwami , ngathi: Abayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami , nakuba imisebenzi y ayenziwa kwasekusekelweni kwezwe.

ukuze ngezinto ezimbili ezingeguquleke, uNkulunkulu angeqambe amanga ngazo, sibe nenduduzo enamandla thina esibalekele ekulibambeni ithemba esilimiselweyo,

Ngokuba umpristi omkhulu onjalo usifanele thina , ongcwele, ongenacala, ongenabala, owahlukanisiwe nezoni, owenziwa aphakame phezu kwamazulu,

ukuze sibe ludumo lwenkazimulo yakhe , thina esethemba ngaphambili kuKristu;

Ngakho-ke thina sonke esiphelele masibe nokuqonda okunjalo; kepha uma kokuthile niqonda ngokunye, nalokho uNkulunkulu uyakunambulela khona,

Kepha thina singabombuso wasezulwini , lapho futhi silindela khona ukuba kuvele uMsindisi, iNkosi uJesu Kristu,

Ngokuba singukusoka thina e sikhonza ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu , sizibonga kuKristu Jesu, singethembi enyameni,

Kepha uma thina , lapho sifuna ukulungisiswa ngoKristu , nathi uqobo safunyanwa siyizoni, kanti uKristu uyisikhonzi sesono na? Qha nakanye.

Nenkazimulo ongiphe yona ngiyip hile bona , ukuze babe munye , njengalokhu thina simunye,

Kepha abaJuda bamphendula bathi : Sinomthetho thina ; ngalo mthetho ufanele ukufa, ngokuba ezenzile iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.

Nina nikhuleka kweningakwaziyo, thina sikhuleka kwesikwaziyo; ngokuba insindiso ivela kubaJuda.

Bamphendula bathi : Siyinzalo ka-Abrahama thina , asibonange sibe yizigqila zamuntu; wena usho kanjani ukuth i: Nizakuba ngabakhululekileyo na?

Nina nenza imisebenzi ka yihlo. Bathi kuye : Thina asizalwanga ngokuphinga; sinobaba munye, uNkulunkulu.

Thina-ke besethemba ukuthi nguye ozakuhlenga u -Israyeli; kodwa phezu kwalokho konke sekulusuku lwesithathu lezo zinto zenzekile.

Namabutho ambuza athi : Thina-ke, sizakwenzani na ? Wathi kuwo: Ningamuki muntu lutho ngendluzula , ningamxabheleli; yaneliswani yizinkokhelo zenu.

UPetru wathatha, wathi kuye: Bheka, thina sishiye konke, sakulandela.

Thina simzwile ethi : Ngiyakulidiliza leli thempeli elenziwe ngezandla , ngakhe ngezinsuku ezintathu elinye elingenziwe ngezandla.

Kuthe esengenile endlini, abafundi bakhe bambuza bebodwa , bathi: Thina besingemkhiphe ngani na?

Khona kwafika abafundi kuJesu bebodwa , bathi: Thina besingemkhiphe ngani na?

Kepha ezihlakaniphileyo zaphendula zathi: Qha, funa angasaneli thina nani. Okungcono hambani niye kwabathengisayo, nizithengele.

Uma kuzwakala lokho kumbusi , siyakuncengana naye thina , nina ningakhathazeki.

Khona kwase kufika kuye abafundi bakaJohane , bathi: Yini ukuba thina nabaFarisi sizila ukudla; kepha abafundi bakho abazili ngani na?

AbaseGibithe babebacindezela abantu ukuba babakhiphe ezweni ngokushesha, ngokuba bathi: Thina sonke sifile.

Kusasa niyakubona inkazimulo kaJehova , lokhu ezwile izinkonono zenu ngoJehova; thina siyini ukuba nikhonone ngathi na?

UMose wathi : Lokhu kuzakwenzeka , lapho uJehova eyakuninika inyama kusihlwa ukuba nidle , nasekuseni isinkwa ukuze nisuthe ; ngokuba uJehova uyezwa izinkonono zenu enikhonona ngaye ng azo; thina siyini? Izinkonono zenu azingathi, zingoJehova.

Abantu bomela khona amanzi ; abantu bakhonona ngoMose , bathi: Usikhuphuleleni eGibithe ukuba usibulale , thina nabantwana bethu nezinkomo zethu ngokoma, na?

Vuka, ngokuba iphezu kwakho le ndaba ; thina sinawe ; yiba nesibindi , ukwenze.
