Wonke umhlaba wafuna ukubona ubuso bukaSolomoni ukuba uzwe ukuhlakanipha kwakhe, uNkulunkulu akubekile enhliziyweni yakhe.

Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho owenamele wena ukuba akubeke esihlalweni sobukhosi sakwa -Israyeli; ngokuba uJehova wamthanda u-Israyeli kuze kube p hakade, ngalokho wakubeka inkosi ukuba wenze ukwahlulela nokulunga.

UHadadi esezwile eGibithe ukuthi uDavide ulele koyise nokuthi uJowabe induna yempi ufile, uHadadi wathi kuFaro: Ngivumele ukuba ngihambe ngiye ezweni lakithi.

UFaro wathi kuye : Uswele ntoni lapha kimi ukuba ufune ukuya ezweni lakini na? Wathi: Lutho, kepha mangivunyelwe impela ukuba ngihambe.

Indodana yakhe ngiyakuyinika isizwe sibe sinye , ukuze uDavide inceku yami abe nesibani izinsuku zonke phambi kwami eJerusalema , umuzi engiwukhethileyo ukuba ngibeke khona igama lami.

Kwathi uSolomoni esemdala , omkakhe bayiphambukisa inhliziyo yakhe ukuba ilandele abanye onkulunkulu ; inhliziyo yakhe yayingekho kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe ngokuphelelyo njengenhliziyo kaDavide uyise.

Inkosi uReho bowamu yathuma u-Adoramu owayephezu kwezisebenzi ; u- Israyeli wonke wamkhanda ngamatshe, wafa. Inkosi uRehobowamu yashesha ukukhwela inqola yayo ukuba ibalekele eJerusalema.

URehobowamu es efikile eJerusalema wabutha yonke indlu yakwaJuda nesizwe sakwaBenjamini , abantu abakhethiweyo abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi ayisishiyagalombili , amabutho, ukuba balwe nendlu yakwa-Israyeli, bawubuyisele umbuso kuRehobowamu indodana kaSolomoni.

Inkosi isithathe isiluleko , yenza amathole amabili egolide , yathi kubo : Sekwanele ukuba nikhuphukele eJerusalema ; bheka onkulunkulu bakho , Israyeli, abakukhuphula ezweni laseGibithe.

UJerobowamu wagubha umkhosi ngenyanga yesishiyagalombili ngosuku lweshumi nanhlanu lwenyanga njengomkhosi wakwaJuda , wenyukela e - altare; wenze njalo eBethele ukuba ahlabele amathole awenzileyo ; wabeka eBethele abapristi bezindawo eziphakemeyo azenzileyo.

Wathi kuzo : Nina ningeluleka ukuba sibuyisele mpenduloni kulaba bantu abakhulume kimi ngokuthi : Yenza ijoka uyihlo alibeka phezu kwethu libe lula, na?

Wayesethi kuye : Nami ngingumprofethi njengawe ; kwakhuluma kimi ingelosi ngezwi likaJehova ngokuthi: Mbuyise, uye naye endlini yakho ukuba athole ukudla, aphuze amanzi. Kodwa waqamba amanga kuye.

Umprofethi wasiphakamisa isidumbu salowo muntu kaNkulunkulu , wasibeka embongolweni, wasibuyisa; wafika emzini womprofethi omdala ukuba alile, ammbele.

Inkosi yayisithatha yathi kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu : Ake unxuse phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ungikhulekele ukuba isandla sami siphiliswe. Lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu wanxusa kuJehova, saphiliswa isandla sakhe, saba njengakuqala.

URehobowamu indodana kaSolomoni wabusa kwaJuda . URehobowamu wayeneminyaka engamashumi amane nanye ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa , wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nesikhombisa eJerusalema , umuzi awukhethileyo uJehova ezizweni zonke zakwa-Israyeli ukuba abeke khona igama lakhe ; igama likanina lalinguNahama wabakwa-Amoni.

Kukhona isivumelwano phakathi kwami nawe naphakathi kukababa noyihlo; bheka, ngithuma kuwe isipho sesiliva negolide ; hamba waphule isivumelwano sakho noBahasha inkosi yakwa-Israyeli ukuba asuke kimi.

UBeni Hadadi wayilalela inkosi u -Asa, wathuma izinduna zempi yakhe ukuba zihlasele imizi yakwa-Israyeli, wanqoba i-Ijoni, neDani, ne-Abela Beti Mahakha, nalo lonke iKineroti, kanye nalo lonke izwe lakwaNafetali.

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

Njengokuba ngakuphakamisa othulini, ngakubeka umbusi wabantu bami u- Israyeli, kepha uhambe endleleni kaJerobowamu , wonisa abantu bami u - Israyeli ukuba bangicunule ngezono zabo,

Khona abantu bakwa -Israyeli bahlukana kabili ; inxenye yabantu yalandela uThibini, indodana kaGinati , ukuba bambeke inkosi , inxenye yalandela u - Omri.

Kepha wathi : Kuphila kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho , anginalo neqebelengwane, kukhona kuphela ukhweshe lwempuphu embizeni nengcosana yamafutha ophisweni ; bheka, sengicakashile izinkuni ezimbili , ukuze ngingene ngizilungiselele khona nendodana yami ukuba sikudle, sife.

Wayesethi ku-Eliya: Nginamsebenzi muni nawe muntu kaNkulunkulu na ? Uze kimi ukuba kukhumbuleke isono sami nokuba kubulawe indodana yami.

Kuyakuthi uphuze emfudlaneni ; ngiyalile amagwababa ukuba akondle khona.

Suka uye eSarefati elingeleSidoni , uhlale khona ; bheka, ngiyalile lapho umfelokazi ukuba akondle.

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.

Ngiphendule, Jehova, ngiphendule ukuba laba bantu bazi ukuthi wena Jehova unguNkulunkulu nokuthi uphendukisela kuwe izinhliziyo.

Wayesekhuphuka u -Ahabi ukuba adle , aphuze. U-Eliya wakhuph ukela esiqongweni saseKarmeli , wakhothamela phansi , wabeka ubuso bakhe phakathi kwamadolo akhe.

Base bahlukaniselana izwe ukuba balidabule : u-Ahabi wahamba ngenye indlela eyedwa, u-Obadiya naye wahamba ngenye indlela eyedwa.

Wayesethi kuye: Ngoneni ukuba unikele inceku yakho esandleni sika-Ahabi ukungibulala na?

Wathi: Ngishisekele nokushisekela uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti , ngokuba abantwana bakwa -Israyeli balahlile isivumelwano sakho , badilizile ama-altare akho , babulele abaprofet hi bakho ngenkemba , kusele mina ngedwa; sebefuna umphefumulo wami ukuba bawususe.

Wathi: Ngishisekele nokushisekela uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti , ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli balahlile isivumelwano sakho , badilizile ama-altare akho , babulele abaprofethi bakho ngenkemba , kusele mina ngedwa; sebefuna umphefumulo wami ukuba bawususe. Ukubizwa kuka-Elisha

Esezwile lokho wasuka , wahamba ukuba asinde , waya eBeri Sheba elingelakwaJuda, washiya khona inceku yakhe.

Kodwa yena wahamba ibanga losuku ehlane, waya wahlala phansi konwele, wacela enhliziyweni yakhe ukuba afe, wathi: Sekwanele; manje, Jehova, sale usuthatha umphefumulo wami, ngokuba angilungile kunawobaba.

Ngalokho woza ngikululeke ukuba usindise ukuphila kwakho nokuphila kwendodana yakho uSolomoni.

Hamba ungene enkosini uDavide , uthi kuyo : Wena nkosi yami , nkosi, awufunganga yini kuyo incekukazi yakho ngokuthi : USolomoni indodana yakho uyakuba yinkosi emva kwami , ahlale esihlalweni sami sobukhosi , na? Pho, kungani ukuba kubuse u-Adoniya na?

Zase zith i kuyo izinceku zayo : Inkosi yami , inkosi, mayifunelwe intombi esentsha ukuba ime phambi kwenkosi , iyiphathe, ilale ngasesifubeni sayo ukuba inkosi yami, inkosi, ifudumale.

Wena nkosi yami , nkosi, amehlo abo bonke abakwa -Israyeli akuwe ukuba ubatshele ukuthi ngubani ozakuhlala esihlalweni sobukhosi senkosi yami , inkosi, emva kwayo,

Bese nenyuka emva kwakhe , afike ahlale esihlalweni sami sobukhosi , ngokuba uyakuba yinkosi esikhundleni sami; ngimbekile ukuba abe ngumbusi phezu kuka-Israyeli noJuda.

UBeni Hadadi wayesethumela kuye , wathi: Onkulunkulu mabenze njalo kimi, benezele futhi, uma uthuli lwaseSamariya luyakwanela abantu bonke abasezinyathelweni zami ukuba babe nokhweshe.

Kwathi emva komnyaka uBeni Hadadi wabala ama -Aramu, wenyukela e - Afeki ukuba alwe no-Israyeli.

UBeni Hadadi wayesethi kuye : Imizi ubaba ayithatha kuyihlo ngiyakuyibuyisa, uzenzele izitaladi eDamaseku njengokwenza kukababa eSamariya. U-Ahabi wathi : Ngalesi sivumelwano ngiyakukuvumela ukuba uhambe. Wayesenza isivumelwano naye, wamvumela ukuba ahambe. U-Ahabi usolwa ngumprofethi

Wathi kuyo: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngokuba umyekile ukuba aphume esandleni sakho umuntu engangimqalekisile , ukuphila kwakho kuyakuba sesikhundleni sokuphila kwakhe, nabantu bakho babe sesikhundleni sabantu bakhe.

Kwathi u -Ahabi esezwile ukuthi uNaboti ufile , u-Ahabi wasuka ukuba ehlele esivinini sikaNaboti waseJizreyeli ukusidla. U-Ahabi usolwa ngu-Eliya

U-Ahabi wakhuluma kuNaboti , wathi: Ngiphe isivini sakho ukuba sibe yisivande sami semifino , ngokuba siseduze nendlu yami , ngikunike isivini esihle kunaso esikhundleni saso ; kepha uma kukuhle emehlweni akho , ngiyakukunika isiliva libe yintengo yaso.

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

Kepha kwase kufika kuye u -Izebeli umkakhe , wakhuluma kuye , wathi: Uhlunameleni umoya wakho ukuba ungadli lutho na?

Yayisithi kuye inkosi : Ngiyakukufungisa izikhathi ezingaki ukuba ungakhulumi lutho kimi ngaphandle kweqiniso egameni likaJehova na?

UJehova wathi: Ngubani oyakuyenga u-Ahabi ukuba enyuke afele eRamoti Gileyadi na? Omunye washo ukuthi nomunye ukuthi.

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

Wathi uMikhaya : Bheka, uyakukubona ngalolo suku oyakungena ngalo emakamelweni ngamakamelo ukuba ucashe.

Kwathi lapho izinduna zezinqola sezibonile uJehoshafati , zathi: Impela lo uyinkosi yakwa -Israyeli. Zase ziphambuka ukuba zilwe nayo , kepha uJehoshafati wamemeza.

UJehoshafati walungisa imikhumbi yaseTharishishi ukuba iye e -Ofiri ukulanda igolide , kepha ayihambanga , ngokuba imikhumbi yaphuka e - Esiyoni Geberi.

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

Wathi-ke: Uyazi wena ukuthi umbuso wawungowami nokuthi wonke u - Israyeli wabhekisa kimi ubuso bakhe ukuba ngibuse ; kepha umbuso usuguquliwe, sewaba ngowomfowethu, ngokuba wawuthola kuJehova.

Wayesethi: Ake ukhulume kuSolomoni inkosi, ngokuba akayikukufulathela wena, ukuba anginike u-Abishagi waseShunemi abe ngumkami.

Wayesehamba uBati Sheba, waya enkosini uSolomoni ukuba amkhulumele u-Adoniya kuyo. Inkosi yasukuma ukumhlangabeza, yamkhothamela, yahlala esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi , yambekela unina wenkosi isihlalo , wahlala ngakwesokunene sayo.

USolomoni wayesemxosha u -Abiyathara, angabe esaba ngumpristi kuJehova, ukuba agcwalise izwi likaJehova alikhuluma ngendlu ka-Eli eShilo.

ugcine isiyalezo sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukuba uhambe ezindleleni zakhe, ugcine izimiso zakhe, nemiyalo yakhe, nezahlulelo zakhe, nobufakazi bakhe njengokulotshiweyo emthethweni kaMose , ukuze uphumelele kukho konke okwenzayo nakukho konke okubhekayo,

Inkosi yathi kuye: Yenza njengokusho kwakhe, umsukele, ummbele, ukuba ususe kimi nakuyo indlu kababa igazi elachithwa ngeze nguJowabe.

ukuze uJehova aqinise izwi lakhe alikhuluma ngami ngokuthi : U ma abantwana bakho begcina indlela yabo ukuba bahambe phambi kwami eqinisweni ngayo yonke inhliziyo yabo nangawo wonke umphefumulo wabo , awuyikuntula muntu -- washo njalo -- esihlalweni sobukhosi sakwa-Israyeli.

Wayesesuka uShimeyi, wabophela imbongolo yakhe, waya eGati ku-Akhishi ukuba afune izinceku zakhe ; wahamba uShimeyi, wazibuyisa izinceku zakhe eGati.

Ngalokho ungamyeki abe ngongenaca la, ngokuba wena ungumuntu ohlakaniphileyo, uyakwazi okufanele ukuba ukwenze kuye, wehlise impunga endaweni yabafileyo inegazi.

Leyo nkulumo yaba nhle emehlweni eN kosi ukuba uSolomoni wayecele leyo nto.

Lapho sengivuka ekuseni ukuba ngimncelise umfana wami , bheka, wayesefile; kepha sengimbhekisisa ekuseni , bheka, kwakungesiye umfana wami engimzeleyo.

EGibeyoni uJehova wabonakala kuSolomoni ngephupho ebusuku; uNkulunkulu wathi: Cela lokhu othanda ukuba ngikunike khona.

USolomoni wathi : Wenzele inceku yakho uDavide ubaba umusa omkhulu njengokuhamba kwakhe phambi kwakho ngeqiniso , nangokulunga, nangobuqotho benhliziyo kuwe , wamgcinela futhi lowo musa omkhulu , wamnika indodana ukuba ihlale esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi , njengokuba kunjalo namuhla.

Ngalokho yiphe inceku yakho inhliziyo elalelayo ukwahlulela abantu bakho ukuba ngahlukanise okuhle nokubi, ngokuba ngubani ongahlulela laba bantu bakho abakhulu kangaka na?

Inkosi yayala , baqopha amatshe amakhulu , amatshe anenani elikhulu , ukuba babeke isisekelo sendlu ngamatshe abaziweyo.

Ngalokho yaleza ukuba bangigawulele imisedari eLebanoni , izinceku zami zibe nezakho ; ngiyakukunika inkokhelo yezinceku zakho njengakho konke ongakusho, ngokuba wena uyazi ukuthi akukho muntu kithi ongagawula imithi njengamaSidoni.

Kumi kanje maqondana nale ndlu oyakhayo : uma uyakuhamba ngezimiso zami, wenze izahlulelo zami , ugcine yonke imiyalo yami ukuba u hambe ngayo, ngiyakugcwalisa kuwe izwi engalikhuluma kuDavide uyihlo:

Walungisa igumbi phakathi endlini ukuba kubekwe khona umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova.

Wenza izihloko ezimbili ngethusi elibunjiweyo ukuba zibekwe phezu kwezinsika; ubude besinye isihloko babuyizingalo eziyisihlanu , nobude besinye isihloko babuyizingalo eziyisihlanu.

Khona uSolomoni wabutha amalunga akwa -Israyeli nezinhloko zezizwe , izikhulu zawoyise babantwana bakwa -Israyeli enko sini uSolomoni eJerusalema, ukuba bakhuphule umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova emzini kaDavide oyiSiyoni.

Kusukela osukwini engakhipha ngalo abantu bami u -Israyeli eGibithe angikhethanga muzi ezizweni zonke zakwa -Israyeli ukwakha indlu ukuba igama lami libe khona lapho , kepha ngamkhetha uDavide abe phezu kwabantu bami u-Israyeli.

Ngalokho, Jehova Nkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, gcina nenceku yakho uDavide ubaba lokho owakusho kuyo ukuthi : Akuyikunqunywa muntu kuwe emehlweni ami ukuhlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sakwa -Israyeli, uma kuphela abantwana bakho beqaphela indlela yabo ukuba bahambe phambi kwami , njengalokho wena uhambe phambi kwami.

ukuba amehlo akho avulekele le ndlu ubusuku nemini , indawo owathi ngayo: Igama lami liyaku ba khona lapho, uze ulalele umkhuleko inceku yakho eyakuwukhuleka ibhekene nale ndawo.

ukuba bakwesabe zonke izinsuku zokuhlala kwabo ezweni owalinika obaba.

uthethelele abantu bakho abonile kuwe naz o zonke iziphambeko zabo abaphambeke kuwe ngazo , ubanike ukuba bathole isihe phambi kwababathumbayo ukuba babaphathe ngesihe.

ukuba amehlo akho avulekele uku nxusa kwenceku yakho nokunxusa kwabantu bakho u-Israyeli ukubezwa kukho konke abakhala ngakho kuwe.

ukuze adonsele izinhliziyo zethu kuye ukuba sihambe ngezindlela zakhe zonke, sigcine imiyalo yakhe , nezimiso zakhe , nezahlulelo zakhe ayala ngakho obaba.

Lawo mazwi ami enginxuse ngawo phambi kukaJehova mawabe seduze noJehova uNkulunkulu wethu imini nobusuku ukuba avume inceku yakhe , avume nabantu bakhe u-Israyeli njengokudingeka kwemihla ngemihla,

ukuba abantu bonke bomhlaba bazi ukuthi uJehova nguye onguNkulunkulu; akakho omunye.

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.

Izinti zazizinde kangako ukuba izihloko zezinti zibonakale endaweni engcwele phambi kwegumbi ; kepha zazingabonakali ngaphandle ; zisekhona lapho kuze kube namuhla.

UJehova wathi kuye: Ngiwuzwile umkhuleko wakho nokunxusa kwakho onxuse ngakho phambi kwami ; ngiyingcwelisile le ndlu oyakhileyo ukuba ngibeke khona igama lami kuze kube phakade ; amehlo ami nenhliziyo yami kuyakuba khona izinsuku zonke.

Wena-ke, uma uyakuhamba phambi kwami njengokuhamba kukaDavide uyihlo, ngenhliziyo engenacala nangobuqotho , ukuba wenze konke engikuyale ngakho, ugcine izimiso zami nezahlulelo zami,

Wafa kanjalo -ke uSawule ngesiphambeko sakhe aphambuka ngaso kuJehova ngenxa yezwi likaJehova angaligcinanga nangokuba kade eyile ukubhula konedlozi ukuba abuze kuye,

UNkulunkulu wami makangenqabele ukuba ngenze lokhu ; ngiyakuphuza igazi lalaba bant u ababe sengozini na ? Ngokuba bawaletha besengozini ; akavumanga ukuwaphuza. Lezo zinto zenziwa yilawa maqhawe amathathu.

Kwase kufika onke amalunga akwa -Israyeli enkosini eHebroni ; uDavide wenza isivumelwano nawo eHe broni phambi kukaJehova; amgcoba uDavide ukuba abe yinkosi kwa -Israyeli njen gezwi likaJehova ngesandla sikaSamuweli.

Nazi izibalo zezinhloko zababehlomele ukulwa abeza kuDavide eHebroni ukuba baguqulele umbuso kaSawule kuye njengezwi likaJehova.

Kuyo in xenye yesizwe sakwaManase yizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili, ezabizwa ngamagama ukuba zize zimbeke uDavide inkosi.

Kubantwana bakwa -Isakare ngabazi ukuqonda izikhathi ukuba bazi okufanele ukwenziwa ngu -Israyeli; izinhloko zabo zazingamakhulu amabili; bonke abafowabo balalela izwi labo.

UDavide wathi kulo lonke ibandla lakwa -Israyeli: Uma kukuhle kini , uma kuvela kuJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, masihlakazeke sithumele kubafowethu abasele ezweni lonke lakwa -Israyeli kanye nabapristi namaLevi emizini yabo enamadlelo ukuba babuthane kithi,

UHiramu inkosi yaseTire wathuma izithunywa kuDavide , nemisedari, nabakhi, nababazi ukuba bamakhele indlu.

UDavide waqonda ukuthi uJehova wayemmisile impela ukuba abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba umbuso wakhe waphakanyiselwa phezulu ngenxa yabantu bakhe u-Israyeli.

AmaFilisti esezwile ukuthi uDavide ugcotshiwe ukuba abe yinkosi kwa - Israyeli wonke , onke amaFilisti enyuka ukumfuna uDavide ; uDavide wakuzwa, waphuma ukuwahlasela.

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 washo ezinduneni zamaLevi ukuba zibeke abafowabo abahlabeleli, benezinto zokubetha , izingubhu, namahabhu, namasimbali, bakubethe, baphakamise izwi labo ngokuthokoza.

nabahlabeleli oHemani no -Asafa no -Ethani ukuba bakhalise amasimba li ethusi,

noZakariya, no-Aziyeli, noShemiramoti, noJehiyeli, no-Uni, no-Eliyabe, noMahaseya, noBenaya ukuba babe nezingubhu ezilungiselwe i-Alamoti,

noMatithiya, no-Elifelehu, noMikineya, no-Obede Edomi , noJehiyeli, no- Azaziya ukuba babe namahabhu alungiselwe iSheminiti ukuba bahole.

Thanini: Sisindise, Nkulunkulu wokusindiswa kwethu , usibuthe, usophule kwabezizwe ukuba sidumise igama lakho elingcwele, sethabe ekukudumiseni.

Wayeseshiya khona ngaphambi komphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJ ehova u-Asafa nabafowabo ukuba bakhonze phambi komphongolo njalo ngokomsebenzi wemihla ngemihla,

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,

bekanye nabo oHemani noJeduthuni nensali yabakhethiweyo abakhonjwa ngamagama ukuba bambonge uJehova, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade;

Ngalolo suku uDavide wayeseqala ukuhlela ukuba uJ ehova abongwe ngesandla sika-Asafa nabafowabo.

kusukela emihl eni engayaleza ngayo abahluleli ukuba babe phezu kwabantu bami u -Israyeli; ngiyakunqoba zonke izitha zakho . Futhi ngiyakutshela ukuthi uJehova uyakukwakhela indlu.

Kuyakuthi lapho izinsuku zakho seziphelele ukuba uye koyihlo , ngiyakumisa inzalo yakho emv a kwakho , eyakuba ngeyamadodana akho ; ngiyakuqinisa umbuso wayo.

UDavide ink osi wayesengena , wahlala phambi kukaJehova , wathi: Ngingubani, Jehova Nkulunkulu , nendlu yami iyini ukuba ungilethe kuze kube lapha na?

Jehova, ngenxa yenceku yakho nanjengokwenhliziyo yakho wenzile konke lokho okukhulu ukuba kwaziswe bonke lobu bukhulu.

Ngokuba wena Nkulunkulu wami wambulele endlebeni yenceku yakho ukuthi uyakuyakhela indlu ; ngalokho inceku yakho ifike kulokhu ukuba ikhuleke phambi kwakho.

kalokhu mawuvume ukubusisa indlu yenceku yakho ukuba ibe sebusweni bakho kuze kube phakade , ngokuba okubusisile wena Jehova kuyahlala kubusisekile kuze kube phakade.

Hamba utshele uDavide inceku yami ukuthi : U sho kanje uJehova , uthi: Awuyikungakhela indlu ukuba ngihlale kuyo,

Ezindaweni zonke engihambahambe kuzo naye wonke u -Israyeli ngake ngakhuluma yini izwi nakoyedwa wabahluleli bakwa -Israyeli engabayala ukuba baluse abantu bami , ngathi: Aningakhelanga ngani indlu yemisedari na?

Ngalokho uyakusho kanje encekwini yami uDavide , uthi: U sho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Mina ngakuthatha edlelweni ekwaluseni izimvu ukuba ube ngumbusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli;

Ngiyakumisela abantu bami u -Israyeli indawo , ngibatshale ukuba bahlale endaweni yabo , bangabe besanyakaziswa ; futhi abantu ababi abasayikubachitha njengakuqala,

UJowabe esebona ukuthi impi ibhekene naye ngaphambili nangasemuva , wakhetha kwabakhethekileyo bonke bakwa -Israyeli, wabahlela ukuba balwe nama-Aramu;

UJowabe nabantu ababe naye base besondela kuwo ama -Aramu ukuba balwe; kepha abaleka phambi kwakhe.

Kepha izikhulu zabantwana bakwa -Amoni zathi kuHanuni : Imbala ngokubona kwakho u thume abaduduzi kuwe ukuba atuse uyihlo na ? Azifikanga yini izinceku zakhe kuwe ukuba ziphenye umuzi , ziwuchithe, ziwuhlole, na?

Abantwana bakwa -Amoni sebebone ukuthi bazenzile ukuba banengeke kuDavide, uHanuni nabantwana bakwa -Amoni bathuma amatalenta ayinkulungwane esiliva ukuziqashela izinqola nabamahhashi e -Aramu Naharayimi, nase-Aramu Mahakha, naseSoba.

UKushe wazala uNimrode; yena waqala ukuba ngonamandla emhlabeni.

USathane wema ukulwa no-Israyeli, wavusa uDavide ukuba abale u-Israyeli.

Hamba ukhulume kuDavide n gokuthi: U Jehova usho kanje , uthi: Ngiyakubekela izinto ezintathu; khetha enye kuzo ukuba ngikwenzele yona.

UDavide wathi kuNkulunkulu : Akusimi yini owaya leza ukuba abantu babalwe na ? Yimina engonileyo ; ngenze kabi kakhulu, kepha lezi zimvu zenzeni na? Isandla sakho, Jehova Nkulunkulu wami , masibe phezu kwami naphezu kwendlu kababa , singabi phezu kwabantu bakho ukubashaya ngesifo. I-altare elisesibuyeni sika-Orinani

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

UDavide wayesethi kuJowabe nasezinduneni zabantu : Hambani nibale u - Israyeli kusukela eBeri Sheba kuze kube kwaDani, nilethe umumo wabo kimi ukuba ngiwazi.

UDavide wathi ku -Orinani: Nginike indawo yalesi sibuya ukub a ngakhele uJehova i-altare kuyo: uyakunginika yona ngemali epheleleyo ukuba lesi sifo sinqamuke kubantu.

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

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.

UDavide wayala ukuba babuthe bonke abafokazi ababe sezweni lakwa - Israyeli, wabeka abakhi ukubaza amatshe axhoziweyo ukuba bakhe indlu kaNkulunkulu.

Amadodana ka-Amramu: ngo-Aroni noMose; u-Aroni wahlukaniswa ukuba angcwelise izinto ezingcweleng cwele, yena namadodana akhe , kuze kube phakade, ukushisa impepho phambi kukaJehova , nokumkhonza, nokubusisa egameni lakhe kuze kube phakade.

izinkulungwane ezine zazingabalindisango; izinkulungwane ezine ziyakudumisa uJehova ngezinto zokubethwa engazenzayo , washo uDavide , ukuba zidumise ngazo.

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

Kepha uDavide akabalanga umumo waba neminyaka engamashumi amabili nabangaphansi, ngokuba uJehova wayeshilo ukuthi uyakwandisa u -Israyeli ukuba abe ngangezinkanyezi zezulu.

Kodwa uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wangikhetha endlini yonke kababa ukuba ngibe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade; ngokuba ukhethile uJuda ukuba abe ngumbusi , nasendlini kaJuda indlu kababa , naphakathi kwamadodana kababa wangenamela mina ukuba angibeke inkosi kwa - Israyeli wonke,

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

Wathi kimi : U Solomoni indodana yakho nguye oyakwakha indlu yami namagceke ami , ngokuba ngimkhethile ukuba abe yindodana yami , mina ngibe nguyise.

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.

Ngokuba ngingubani mina , nabantu bami , bayini ukuba sibe namandla okunikela ngenhliziyo engaka na ? Ngokuba konke kuvela kuwe , nokuvela esandleni sakho lokhu sikunike wena.

unike uSolomoni indodana yami inhliziyo epheleleyo ukuba agcine imiyalo yakho, nobufakazi bakho, nezimiso zakho, nokwenza konke lokhu, nokwakha ithempeli engililungiseleyo.

badla, baphuza phambi kukaJehova ngalolo suku ngokuthokoza okukhulu . Bambeka uSolomoni indodana kaDavide inkosi ngokwesibili, bamgcobela uJehova ukuba abe ngumholi, uSadoki abe ngumpristi.

Bonke labo babe ngabantwana baka -Asheri, izinhloko zezindlu zawoyise , amaqhawe akhethekileyo anamandla , izinhloko zezikhulu . Umumo wabo ubhalwe ngezizukulwane zabo ukuba balwe empini wawungabantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nesithupha.

Bonke labo ababekhethiwe ukuba babe ngabalindisango babe ngamakhulu amabili neshumi nambili . Babhalwa ngezizukulwane emizaneni yabo , bamiswa ngoDavide noSamuweli umboni ezikhundleni zabo.

Abafowabo emizaneni yabo babeyakungena emva kwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa njalo izikhathi ngezikhathi ukuba babe nabo,

Abanye abafowabo bamadodana amaKohati babephethe izinkwa zokubukwa ukuba bazilungise onke amasabatha.

Uma sizivuma izono zethu, uthembekile, ulungile ukuba asithethelele izono, asihlambulule kukho konke ukungalungi.

Bantwana bami, nginilobela lokhu ukuba ningoni. Kepha uma umuntu ona, sinoMmeli kuYise, uJesu Kristu olungileyo;

Nina-ke, ukugcoba enakwamukela kuye kuhlala kini , anidingi ukuba nobani anifundise ; kodwa lokhu ukugcoba kwakhe okunifundisa khona ngakho konke kuyiqiniso , akusiwo amanga , nanjengokuba kunifundisile , hlalani kuye.

Bantwanyana, masingathandi ngezwi nangolimi , kodwa ngezenzo nangeqiniso. Ukuba nesibindi phambi kukaNkulunkulu

Yilo umyalo wakhe ukuba sikholwe egamen i leNdodana yakhe uJesu Kristu, sithandane, njengokuba asinika umyalo.

Uthando lukaNkulunkulu lwabonakaliswa kithi ngalokho ukuthi uNkulunkulu wathumela ezweni iNdodana yakhe ezelwe y odwa ukuba siphile ngayo.

Uma umuntu ebona umzalwane wa khe ona ngesono esingesiso esokufa , makacele, uyakumnika ukuphila , ekunika labo abenza isono esingesiso esokufa. Sikhona isono sokufa; angisho ukuba kucelwe ngaleso.

Ngokuba ukuthanda uNkulunkulu yilokhu ukuba sigcine imiyalo yakhe ; nemiyalo yakhe ayinzima,

abambulelwe ukuba bangazikhonzi bona kepha nina ngalezo zinto enishunyayezwa zona manje ngabanishumayeza ivangeli ngoMoya oNgcwele othunywe evela ezulwini, izinto ezizifisayo izingelosi ukuzibona. UPetru ukhuthaza abakholwayo ukuba bahambe ngobungcwele

Makabongwe uNkulunkulu uYise weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu owabuye wasizala kabusha ngokwesihawu sakhe esikhulu ukuba sibe nethemba eliphilileyo ngokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu kwabafileyo,

nina enilondolozwa ngamandla kaNkulunkulu ngokukholwa ukuba nibe nokusindiswa okulungiselwe ukwambulwa ngesikhathi sokugcina;

Bathandekayo, nginincenga njengabafokazi nezihambi ukuba nidede ezinkanukweni zenyama ezilwa nomphefumulo,

ngokuba injalo intando kaNkulunkulu ukuba ngokwenza okuhle nithulise ukungazi kwabantu abayiziwula

Ngokuba naye uKristu wahlupheka kwaba kanye ngezono , olungileyo ngenxa yabangalungile , ukuba asiyise kuNkulunkulu , ebulawa enyameni kepha ephiliswa emoyeni,

ningaphindisi okubi ngokubi nokuthuka ngokuthuka , kepha kakhulu manibusise, ngokuba nabizelwa lokho ukuba nidle ifa lokubusiswa.

Bathandekayo, ningamangali ngomlilo ophakathi kwenu enifikelwa yiwo ukuba nilingwe ngokungathi nehlelwe yinto engaziwayo,

Kuyo iNkosi yaphakade en gabhubhiyo, engenakubonwa, uNkulunkulu yedwa, makube ludumo nenkazimulo kuze kube phakade naphakade. Amen. UPawulu uyala uThimothewu ukuba alwele iqiniso levangeli

kuThimothewu, umntanami ngesiminya ekukholweni: Makube kuwe umusa, nesihawu, nokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba nakuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu. UPawulu ukhumbuza uThimothewu ukuba alwe nesifundiso samanga e-Efesu

abakubona oHimenewu no -Aleksandru engibanikele kuSathane , ukuze balaywe ukuba bangahlambalazi.

befuna ukuba babe ngabafundisi bomthe tho, ingani kabaqondi abakushoyo nabaqinisa ngakho begomela.

Ngakho-ke kuqala kukho konke ngiyala ukuba ukunxusa , nokukhuleka, nokucela, nokubonga kwenzelwe abantu bonke,

Kepha angimvumeli owesifazane ukuba afundise , nokuba abuse phezu kwendoda; kodwa makazithulele.

othanda ukuba abantu bonke basindiswe, bafinyelele ekulazini iqiniso.

engamiselwa khona mina ukuba ngibe ngummemezeli nomphostoli -- ngikhuluma iqiniso , angiqambi amanga -- yebo, umfundisi wabezizwe ekukholweni naseqinisweni.

Ngalokho ngithanda ukuba amadoda akhuleke ezindaweni zonke , ephakamisa izandla ezingcwele, engenalulaka nokuphikisana. Maqondana nabesifazane ebandleni

kepha uma ngilibala , khona uyakwazi ukuthi kumelwe ukuba abantu bahambe kanjani endlini kaNkulunkulu eyibandla likaNkulunkulu ophilayo, insika nesisekelo seqiniso.

Kumelwe futhi ukuba abe nobufakazi obuhle kwabangaphandle , funa ayele esihlambeni nasesihibeni sikaSathane.

benqabela ukuganana , bethi akuzilwe ukudla akudalayo uNkulunkulu ukuba kwamukelwe ngokubonga yibo abakholwayo nabalaziyo iqiniso.

Ngakho-ke ngithanda ukuba abafelokazi abasha bagane, bazale abantwana, baphathe indlu yabo, bangasiniki isitha ithuba lokuthuka.

Ngiyaqinisa phambi kukaNkulunkulu noKristu Jesu nezingelosi ezikhethiweyo ukuba ulonde lezo zinto ngokungazinqumeli , ungenzi lutho ngokukhetha.

ukuba ugcine umyalo ungenabala , ungenakusoleka, kuze kube sekubonakaleni kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu

Ngokuba angithandi , bazalwane, ukuba ningazi ukuthi okhokho bethu bonke babephansi kwefu, bonke badabula ulwandle;

Ngakho-ke osuka ethi umi, akaqaphele ukuba angawi.

Anifikelwanga ukulingwa okungenjengokwabantu ; kepha uN kulunkulu uthembekile, ongayikuvuma ukuba nilingwe ngokungaphezu kwamandla enu, kepha oyakuthi kanye nokulingwa anenzele indlela yokuphepha , nize nibe namandla okukuthwala. Ningakhonzi izithombe

Kodwa ngithi : Lokho okuhlatshwa ngabezizwe bakuhlabela amademoni , kabakuhlabeli uNkulunkulu . Kepha angithandi ukuba nibe nenhlanganyelo namademoni.

kangisho owakho unembeza , ngisho owalowo omunye . Ngokuba yini ukuba inkululeko yami yahlulwe ngunembeza womunye na?

Futhi ningabi ngabakhonza izithombe njengabanye kubo , njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi : Abantu bahlala phansi ukuba badle , baphuze, basukuma ukuba badlale.

Ngalokho-ke owesifazane ufanele ukuba abe nophawu lwesithunzi ekhanda ngenxa yezingelosi.

Ziboneleni nina ngokwenu ; kufanele yini ukuba owesifazane akhuleke kuNkulunkulu engagubuzele na?

Ngokuba kumelwe kube khona amaqembu phakathi kwenu ukuba abaqinisileyo phakathi kwenu babonakale.

wabonga, wasihlephula, wathi: Lokhu kungumzimba wami ohleshulelwe nina; lokhu kwenzeni ukuba ningikhumbule.

Kanjalo wathabatha nesitsha emva kokudla kwakusihlwa, wathi: Lesi sitsha siyisivumelwano esisha egazini lami ; lokhu kwenzeni ngezikhathi zonke enisiphuza ngazo ukuba ningikhumbule.

Kepha-ke ngithanda ukuba nazi ukuthi inhloko yawo onke amadoda inguKristu, nenhloko yowesifazane iyindoda , nenhloko kaKristu inguNkulunkulu.

Ngakho-ke, bazalwane bami, nxa nibuthana ukuba nidle, anolindana.

Uma omunye elambile , akadle ekhaya ukuba ningabuthaneli ukulahlwa . Kepha okuseleyo ngokulungisa mhla ngifikayo.

Ngokuba uma owesifazane engagubuzele , akagundwe. Uma kuyihlazo kowesifazane ukuba agundwe noma aphuce, akagubuzele.

Kepha maqondana neziphiwo zokomoya angithandi , bazalwane, ukuba ningabi nakwazi.

Noma ngabela abampofu konke engina kho, noma nginikela umzimba wami ukuba ushiswe, kepha ngingenalo uthando, akungisizi ngalutho.

Jongani uthando , futhi nizondelele iziphiwo zomoya , ikakhulu ukuba niprofethe.

Ngokunjalo nani , lokhu nishisekele iziphiwo zomoya , funani ukuba n ibe nazo kakhulu, ukuze kwakheke ibandla.

Ngakho-ke okhulumayo ngezilimi akhulekele ukuba akuhumushe.

abesifazane mabathule emabandleni ; ngokuba kabavunyelwe ukuba bakhulume, kepha mabazithobe, njengokuba usho njalo nomthetho.

Uma-ke bethanda ukufunda utho , mababuze emadodeni abo emakhaya ; ngokuba kuyihlazo ukuba owesifazane akhulume ebandleni.

Nokho bengithanda ukuba nikhulume ngezilimi nonke , kepha kakhulu ukuba niprofethe; mkhulu kodwa oprofethayo kunokhuluma ngezilimi , uma engahumushi, ukuze ibandla lakheke.

Phaphamani ngokufaneleyo, ningoni; ngokuba abanye kabamazi uNkulunkulu; ngisho lokhu ukuba nibe namahloni.

Kepha nxa kufika uThimothewu , anobheka ukuba ahlale kini engenalo uvalo, ngokuba usebenza umsebenzi weNkosi njengami;

ngakho makungabikho omdelelayo . Nize nimphelekezele endlel eni ngokuthula ukuba eze kimi, ngokuba ngimbhekile kanye nabazalwane.

Maqondana nomzalwane u -Apholo, ngamncenga kakhulu ukuba eze kini kanye nabazalwane ; kepha kwakungesiyo intando yakhe neze ukuba eze manje; kodwa uyakuza nxa enethuba.

ukuba nibathobele abanjalo nabo bonke abasebenzisana nabo bekhandleka.

Ekufikeni kwami labo enibakhethayo ngizakubathuma , bephethe izincwadi, ukuba bayise izipho zenu zothando eJerusalema;

uma kufanele ukuba nami ngihambe, bayakuhamba kanye nami. Ihlelo lokuhamba kukaPawulu

UPawulu, obizelwe ngentando kaNkulunkulu ukuba abe ngu mphostoli kaJesu Kristu, noSostene umzalwane,

Kepha ngiyanincenga , bazalwane, ngegama leNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu ukuba nikhulume zwilinye nonke, kungabikho ukwahlukana phakathi kwenu, kodwa nipheleliswe emqondweni munye nasekuboneni kunye.

Kodwa ngabhapathiza nabendlu kaStefana ; ngaphandle kwalokho angazi ukuba ngabhapathiza omunye.

Ngokuba uKristu kangithumanga ukuba ngibhapathize , kepha ukuba ngishumayele ivangeli , kungabi ngokuhlakanipha kwamazwi , funa isiphambano sikaKristu senziwe ize. Ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu nokuhlakanipha kwezwe

kodwa izinto zobuwula zezwe uNkulunkulu uzikhethile ukuba aj abhise abahlakaniphileyo; nezinto ezibuthakathaka zezwe uNkulunkulu uzikhethile ukuba ajabhise izinto ezinamandla;

nezinto eziphansi zezwe nezinto ezidelelwayo uNkulunkulu wazikhetha , nezinto ezingekho, ukuba achithe ezikhona,

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

Angikulobi lokho ukuba nginithele amahloni , kodwa ukuba nginiluleke njengabantwana bami abathandekayo.

Futhi-ke kufuneka kubaphathi ukuba umuntu afunyanwe ekholekile.

Kepha kimina kuyinto encane impela ukuba ngahlulelwe yi nina noma ngokwahlulela kwabantu; yebo, nami angizahluleli.

Lokhu-ke, bazalwane, ngikuguqulele kimina naku -Apholo ngokulinganisa ngenxa yenu, ukuze nifunde kithi ukungeqisi kokulotshiweyo ukuba ningakhukhunyezwa, kungabi yilowo akhethe omunye kunomunye.

kepha manje nganilobela ukuba ningahlangani nomuntu obizwa ngokuthi ungumzalwane, uma eyisifebe , noma engohahayo , noma engokhonza izithombe, noma eyisithuki, noma eyisidakwa, noma engumphangi; ningaze nadla nokudla nonjalo.

Ngokuba mina ngokwami , noma ngingekho ngomzimba , nokho ngikhona ngomoya, senginqumile ngokungathi ngikhona ngalowo muntu owe nze okunjalo ukuba

Nganilobela encwadini yami ukuba ningahlangani nezifebe;

Ngisho lokhu ukuba nibe namahloni. Kunjalo kanti : akukho namunye phakathi kwenu ohlakaniphileyo onganquma phakathi kwabaz alwane bakhe na?

Nempela nakalokhu sekuyisici esikini ukuba nimangalelane. Yini ukuba ningavumi nakanye ukoniwa ? Yini ukuba ningavumi nakanye ukuphangwa na?

Maqondana nalok ho enaloba ngakho , kuhle kumuntu ukuba angamthinti owesifazane.

Kuphela nje ukuba yilowo nalowo ahambe njengokuba iNkosi imabele , kube yilowo njengokuba uNkulunkulu embizile. Ngiyala kanjalo emabandleni onke.

Ubizwe uyisigqila na ? Ungakhathazeki ngalokho . Kepha uma kwenzeka ukuba ukhululwe, kukhethe lokho.

Ngakho-ke ngithi kuhle lokhu ngenxa yokubandezeka okukhona ukuba umuntu abe njengalokhu enjalo.

Kepha ngifuna ukuba ningabi nakukhathaz eka. Ongaganiwe ukhathalela okweNkosi ukuba angayithokozisa kanjani iNkosi.

Kepha oganiweyo ukhathalela okwezwe ukuba angathokozisa kanjani umkakhe,

wahlukene phakathi. Nongaganile oyintombi ukhathalela okweNkosi, ukuze abe ngcwele emzimbeni nasemoyeni ; kepha oganileyo ukhathalela okwezwe ukuba angayithokozisa kanjani indoda yakhe.

Ngisho lokhu ukuba kube lusizo kinina ; akusikho ukuba nginigaxe ngentambo kepha ukuba nihambe ngokufaneleyo , nibambelele eNkosini ngokungaphazameki.

Kepha uma umuntu ethi wenza okungafanele ngakuyo indodakazi yakhe , uma isikhulile ngeminyaka , akenze akubonayo , uma kumelwe ukuba kwenziwe kanjalo; akoni; mabaganane.

Umfazi uboshiwe ngesikhathi indoda yakhe isekhona ; kepha uma indoda isifile, ukhululekile, angendela nakubani ngokubona kwakhe , kuphela ukuba kube seNkosini.

Ningagodlelani, kuphela kube ngokwesikhathi ngokuvumelana ukuba nithole ithuba lokukhuleka , nibuye nibe ndawonye , ukuze uSathane anganiyengi ngokungazibambi kwenu.

Nokho ngingathanda ukuba abantu bonke babe njengami ; kepha yilowo nalowo unesakhe isiphiwo somusa esivela kuNkulunkulu , omunye kanje , omunye kanje.

Uma umuntu ethi wazi utho, kakazi njengokuba kufanele ukuba azi;

Ngokunjalo iNkosi imisile ukuba abamemezela ivangeli baphile ngevangeli.

Kepha mina angisebenzisanga lutho lwalezo zinto ; futhi lokho angikulobanga ukuba kwenziwe kanjalo kimi; ngokuba kungaba ngcono kimi ukuba ngife kunokuba umuntu alwenz ize udumo lwami.

Pho, uyini umvuzo wami na ? Uyilokhu ukuba nxa ngishumayela ivangeli , ngikwenze ukuba ivangeli lingabizi lutho , ukuze ngingasebenzisi ilungelo lami enginalo evangelini. UPawulu uyisigqila sabo bonke

Kodwa ngiyawutuba umzimba wami , ngiwenza isigqila , ukuba mina engishumayeza abanye ngingaliwa mina uqobo.

Ngokuba bona uqobo balanda ngathi ukuthi kwaba njani ukungena kwethu kinina nokuthi naphendu kela kanjani kuNkulunkulu , nishiya izithombe , ukuba nikhonze uNkulunkulu ophilayo oweqiniso,

siniyala, sinimisa isibindi , sifakazela ukuba nihambe ngokufaneleyo phambi kukaNkulunkulu onibizela embusweni nasebukhosini bakhe. UPawulu ulanda ngezinhlupheko zabo zokuzingelwa ngenxa yokukholwa

besivimbela ukukhuluma nabezizwe ukuba basindiswe, ukuze bagcwalise njalo izono zabo; kepha ulaka selufinyelele phezu kwabo ngokupheleleyo. Uthando lukaPawulu aluguqukile

kepha njengokuba sivunyiwe nguNkulunkulu ukuba siphathiswe ivangeli , siyakhuluma ngokunjalo, singenzeli ukuthokozisa abantu kepha uNkulunkulu ovivinya izinhliziyo zethu.

Ngalokho kwathi singasenakubekezela , sathi kuhle ukuba sisale sodwa e- Athene,

Ubusuku nemini sinxusa nokunxusa ukuba sibone ubuso benu , siphelelise okusileleyo ekukholweni kwenu.

sathuma uThimothewu umzalwane wethu , isikhonzi sikaNkulunkulu evangelini likaKristu , ukuba aniqinise , anivuse maqondana nokukholwa kwenu

ukuba kunganyakaziswa muntu ngalezo zinhlupheko ; ngokuba niyazi nina ukuthi simiselwe lokho.

Ngalokho nami, lapho ngingasenakubekezela, ngathumela ukuba ngiqonde ukukholwa kwenu, ingabe mhlawumbe umlingi unilingile yini, ukukhandleka kwethu kube yize. Esebuyile uThimothewu, uPawulu uyathokoza; uyabakhulekela

Elokugcina-ke, bazalwane, siyaninxusa, siyaniyala ngeNkosi uJesu ukuba njengalokho nakwamukela kithi ukuthi nifanele ukuhamba nokumthokozisa kanjani uNkulunkulu , njengalokho nihamba kanjalo , manivame kakhulu kulokho.

nempela niyakwenza lokho kubo bonke abazalwan e abaseMakedoniya lonke. Kepha siyaniyala, bazalwane, ukuba nivame nokuvama kulokho,

Kepha asithandi , bazalwane, ukuba ningabi nakwazi ngabalalayo , ukuze ningadabuki njengabanye abangenalo ithemba.

Ngokuba lokhu kuyintando kaNkulunkulu , ukungcweliswa kwenu , ukuba nidede ebufebeni

ukuba yilowo nalowo kini akwazi ukuhlala nomkakhe ngobungcwele nangokuhlonipha,

ukuba kungabikho noyedwa omonayo, aphambe umfowabo ngento, ngokuba iNkosi ingumphindiseli kukho konke lokho , njengokuba sanitshela phambili, saqinisa.

Kepha maqondana nothando lobuzalwane anisweli ukuba umuntu anilobele, ngokuba nina uqobo ningabafundisiwe nguNkulunkulu ukuba nithandane;

owasifelayo ukuba, noma siqwashile noma silele, siphile kanye naye.

Kepha siyanincenga , bazalwane, ukuba nibazi abakhandlekayo phakathi kwenu, nabaniphetheyo eNkosini, nabanilulekayo,

Kepha siyaniyala , bazalwane, ukuba nil uleke abangahambi ngomthetho , nithokozise abadanileyo, nisekele ababuthakathaka, nibabekezelele bonke.

Qaphelani ukuba kungabikho ophindisela omunye okubi ngokubi ; kepha jongani njalo ukwenza okuhle, omunye komunye nakubo bonke.

Ngiyanifungisa iNkosi ukuba le ncwadi ifundwe kubo bonke abazalwane.

ngokuba uNkulunkulu kasimiselanga ulaka kepha ukuba sizuze ukusindiswa ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu

USamuweli wayesethatha umfuma wamafutha , wawathela ekhanda lakhe , wamanga, wathi: Angithi uJehova ukugcobile ukuba ube ngumholi wefa lakhe na?

Uyakwehla phamb i kwami ukuya eGiligali ; bheka, ngiyakwehlela kuwe ukuba nginikele ngeminikelo yokushiswa, ngihlabe imihlatshelo yokuthula ; uyakuhlala izinsuku eziyisikhombisa , ngize ngifike kuwe , ngikutshele oyakukwenza.

Abantu bathi kuSawule : Ngubani oshilo ukuthi uSawule uyak uba yinkosi phezu kwethu na? Lethani labo bantu ukuba sibabulale.

UNahashi wakwa -Amoni wathi kubo : Ngiyakusenza nani ngalokhu ukuba kukhishwe onke amehlo enu okunene, ngikubeke kube yihlazo kuye wonke u- Israyeli.

Amalunga aseJabeshi athi kuye : Siyeke izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ukuba sithume izithunywa emikhawulweni yonke yakwa -Israyeli; uma kungekho osisindisayo, siyakuphumela kuwe.

Bheka, uSawule weza elandela izinkabi, evela ensimini; uSawule wathi: Yini ukuba abantu bakhale na? Bamtshela amazwi abantu baseJabeshi.

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

Bonke abantu bathi kuSamuweli : Khulekela izinceku zakho kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukuba singafi, ngokuba senezele kuzo zonke izono zethu ububi bokuzicelela inkosi.

yebo, ningaphambuki ukuba nilandele izinto eziyize ezingenakusiza nezingenakophula, ngokuba ziyize.

Futhi nami , makube kude nami ukuba ngone kuJehova ngokuyeka ukunikhulekela; kakhulu ngiyakunifundisa indlela enhle nelungileyo.

Bhekani, ngilapha: fakazani ngami phambi kukaJehova naphambi kogcotshiweyo wakhe ukuthi ngithathe inkabi kabani , ngithathe imbongolo kabani, ngikhohlisile ubani, ngicindezele ubani, ngamukele umvuzo esandleni sikabani ukuba ngifihle amehlo ami ngawo na? Ngiyakukubuyisela kini.

Kalokhu yimani ukuba ngiphendulane nani phambi kukaJehova ngezenzo zonke ezilungileyo zikaJehova azenza kini nakoyihlo.

Kwathi eseqedile ukunikela ngomnikelo wokush iswa, bheka, uSamuweli wafika; uSawule waphuma ukumhlangabeza ukuba ambingelele.

Bonke abakwa -Israyeli behlela kuwo amaFilisti , kwaba yilowo nalowo ukuba alole umese wakhe , nempumulo yakhe , nembazo yakhe , nesikela lakhe;

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

UDavide wayeshilo ukuthi : Impela ngikugcinele ize konke lowo muntu anakho ehlane ukuba angalahlekelwa lutho lwakho konke okwakhe, ngokuba ungibuyisele okubi ngokuhle.

Ngokuba impela, kuphila kukaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ongivimbele ukuze ngingakulimazi , uma ungasheshanga ukuza ukuba ungihlangabeze , impela nga kungasalanga kuNabali ngasekuseni kusasa nokukodwa okungokwesilisa.

UDavide esezwile ukuthi uNabali ufile, wathi: Makabusiswe uJehova omele indaba yehlazo lami esandleni sikaNabali , ovimbele inceku ya khe ebubini , wabuyisela ububi bukaNabali ekhanda lakhe . UDavide wathumela wakhuluma ku-Abigayili ukuba amthathe abe ngumkakhe.

U-Akhishi wakholwa nguDavide , wathi: Wenze ukuba anengwe nokunengwa ngabantu bakhe abakwa -Israyeli; ngalokho uyakuba yinceku yami kuze kube nini.

UDavide wathi ku -Akhishi: Uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho , mabanginike indawo komunye wemizi yasemaphandleni ukuba ngihlale khona, ngokuba inceku yakho izakuhlalelani nawe emzini wenkosi na?

Ngalokho mawulilalele izwi lencekukazi yakho , ngibeke ucezu lwesinkwa phambi kwakho; yidla ukuba uthole amandla, nxa uhamba indlela yakho.

Kepha izikhulu zamaFilisti zamthukuthelela; izikhulu zamaFilisti zathi kuye: Buyisa lowo muntu ukuba abuyele endaweni yakhe om mise kuyo, angehleli nathi empini, funa abe yisitha sethu empini , ngokuba lona ubeyakuyigculisa ngani inkosi yakhe kungengamakhanda alawo madoda na?

Kwakungumthetho wabap risti kubantu ukuba , nxa umuntu enikela ngomhlatshelo, kufike inceku yompristi inyama isabila , iphethe ngesandla ingwegwe emazinyo mathathu,

Ngamkhetha kuzo zonke izizwe zakwa-Israyeli ukuba abe ngumpristi wami, anikele e -altare lami , ashise impepho , afake ingubo yamahlombe phambi kwami, nganika indlu kayihlo yonke iminikelo yomlilo yabantwana bakwa - Israyeli.

Kepha angiyikumnquma umuntu wakho e -altare lami ukuba aqede amehlo akho, abangele usizi umphefumulo wakho ; yonke inzalo yendlu yakho iyakufa isebudodeni bayo.

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

Qinani nibe ngamadoda nina maFilisti ukuba ningabi yizigqila zamaHeberu , njengalokho ebeyizigqila zenu. Yibani ngamadoda, nilwe!

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.

Iyakuthatha izinceku zenu , nezincekukazi zenu , nezinsizwa zenu ezinhle , nezimbongolo zenu, izenze ukuba zisebenze imisebenzi yayo.

Kepha abantu bala ukulalela izwi likaSamuweli , bathi: Hhayi, sifuna ukuba kube khona inkosi phezu kwethu,

athi kuye: Bheka, usumdala, amadodana akho awahambi ngezindlela zakho; sibekele inkosi ukuba isahlulele njengezizwe zonke.

Yayisithi kuye inkosi : Ngiyakukufungisa izikhathi ezingaki ukuba ungakhulumi lutho kimi ngaphandle kweqiniso egameni likaJehova na?

UJehova wathi: Ngubani oyakuyenga u -Ahabi inkosi yakwa -Israyeli ukuba akhuphuke, afele eRamoti Gileyadi na ? Omunye washo ukuthi nomunye ukuthi.

Kepha wathuma abaprofethi kubo ukuba bababuyisele kuJehova ; babaxwayisa, kepha kababekanga ndlebe.

UMoya kaNkulunkulu wembesa uZakariya indodana kaJehoyada umpristi; wema ngaphezu kwabantu , wathi kubo : Usho kanje uNkulunkulu , uthi: Neqelani imiyalo kaJehova ukuba ningabi nampumelelo na ? Ngokuba nimshiyile uJehova, naye unishiyile nina.

Inkosi yayisibiza uJehoyada inhloko , yathi kuye : Awubizanga ngani kumaLevi ukuba alethe kwaJuda naseJerusalema int ela kaMose inceku kaJehova neyebandla lika-Israyeli, ibe ngeyetende lobufakazi na?

Ngokuba amadodana ka-Athaliya, owesifazane lowo omubi , ayeyichithile indlu kaNkulunkulu , nezinto zonke ezingcwele zendlu kaJehova azenza ukuba zibe ngezikaBali.

Kwase kumenyezelwa kwaJuda naseJerusalema ukuba balethe kuJehova intela uMose inceku kaNkulunkulu ayibeke phezu kuka-Israyeli ehlane.

U-Amasiya wayeseyahlukanisa impi ebifike kuye ivela kwa -Efrayimi ukuba iye ekhaya ; ngalokho ulaka lwabo lwavuthela kakhulu uJuda , babuyela ekhaya bevutha ulaka.

Kepha abantu bempi ababebuyiselwe emu va ngu -Amasiya ukuba bangaphumi impi naye baphundla imizi yakwaJuda kusukela eSamariya kuze kube seBeti Horo ni, babulala kuyo izinkulungwane ezintathu , bathatha impango eningi.

Uthi: Bheka, ngichithile u -Edomi; inhliziyo yakho iyakuphakamisa ukuba uzidumise; hlala ekhaya manje; uzilebelani ukuba uwe wena, noJuda ekanye nawe, na?

Kepha u-Amasiya akalalelanga , ngokuba kwavela kuNkulunkulu ukuba abanikele esandleni sezitha zabo , ngokuba babefunile onkulunkulu bakwa - Edomi.

Phansi kwezandl a zabo kwakukhona impi enamandla eyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu nezinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu ayisihlanu, eyalwa ngamandla amakhulu ukuba isize inkosi ezitheni.

Wenza eJerusalema imishini eyaqanjwa ngokuhlakanipha ukuba ibe phezu kwemibhoshongo nasezingosini , kuphonswe ngayo imicibisholo namatshe amakhulu. Igama lakhe laphumela ekudeni , ngokuba wasizwa ngokumangalisayo waze waba namandla.

Kepha lapho eseziqinisile , inhliziyo yakhe yazikhukhumeza kwaze kwaba ngukubhubha kwakhe , waphambuka kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe , wangena ethempelini likaNkulunkulu ukuba ashise impepho e -altare lempepho.

Wayesethukuthela u -Uziya; wayenomcengezi womlilo esandleni sakhe ukuba ashise impepho ; esabathukuthelele abapristi , kwaqhamuka uchoko ebunzini lakhe phambi kwabapristi endlini kaJehova eceleni kwe -altare lempepho.

bathi kubo : Ningabangenisi abathunjwa lapha , ngokuba nicabanga okuyakuba yicala lethu kuJehova ukuba kwenezele ezonweni zethu nasecaleni lethu, ngokuba icala lethu selilikhulu namanje ; ulaka olushisayo luphezu kuka-Israyeli.

Ngaleso sikhathi inkosi u -Ahazi yathumela emakhosini ase -Asiriya ukuba ayisize.

Wahlabela onkulunkulu baseDamaseku ababemshayile , wathi: Ngokuba onkulunkulu bamakhosi ase -Aramu bawasiza , ngiyakubahlabela ukuba bangisize nami. Kepha baba yisikhubekiso kuye nakuye wonke u-Israyeli.

Manje sekusenhliziyweni yami ukwenza isivumelwano noJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ukuba ulaka lwakhe oluvuthayo lubuye kithina.

Madodana ami , ningadebeseli, ngokuba nina uJehova unikhethile ukuba nime phambi kwakhe, nimkhonze, nibe yizikhonzi zakhe, nishise impepho.

Babutha abafowabo , bazingcwelisa, bangena njengesiyalezo senkosi ngamazwi kaJehova ukuba bayihlambulule indlu kaJehova.

Abapristi bangena kokuphakathi kwendlu kaJehova ukuba bayihlambulule , nakho konke ukungcola abakufumanisayo ethempelini likaJehova bakukhiphela egcekeni lendlu kaJehova . AmaLevi akuthatha , akukhipha, akuyisa emfudlaneni iKidroni.

abapristi bazihlaba , benza umnikelo wesono ngegazi lazo e -altare ukuba benzele u -Israyeli won ke ukubuyisana , ngokuba inkosi yayaleza ukuba umnikelo wokushiswa nomnikelo wesono ube ngoka-Israyeli wonke.

Abapristi babe yingcosana nje , babengenakuhlinza yonke iminikelo yokushiswa; abafowabo amaLevi base bebasiza , waze waphela umsebenzi , nabapristi baze bazingcwelisa , ngokuba amaLevi ayelungele ngezinhliziyo kunabapristi ukuba azingcwelise.

indodana yowesifazane wamadodakazi akwaDani ; uyise wayengumuntu waseTire, owayekwazi ukusebenza ngegolide , nangesiliva, nangethusi, nangensimbi, nangamatshe, nangemithi, nangokububende, nangokuluhlaza, nangelineni elicolekileyo , nangokubomvu, nangokuqopha imiqopho yonke , nangokuqamba yonke imisebenzi yobungcweti , ukuba anikwe indawo kanye nezingcweti zakho nezingcweti zenkosi yami uDavide uyihlo.

Kubona wamisa izinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa ukuba bathwale imithwalo , nezinkulungwane ezingama shumi ayisishiyagalombili ukuba babe ngababazi ezintabeni , nezinkulungwane ezintathu namakhulu ayisithupha ukuba babe ngababonisi bokusebenzisa abantu.

USolomoni wabala abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa ukuba bathwale imithwalo , nabantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishiyagalombili ukuba babe ngababazi bamatshe ezintabeni , nezinkulungwane ezintathu namakhulu ayisithupha ukubabonisa.

USolomoni wathume la kuHiramu in kosi yaseTire , wathi: Njengalokho wakwenza kuDavide ubaba , wathuma kuye imisedari , azakhele ngayo indlu ukuba ahlale kuyo, yenze njalo nakimi.

Bheka, ngiyakhela igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wami indlu ukuba ngimngcwelisele yona , ngishise ph ambi kwakhe impepho ethaphukayo , kubekwe njalo izinkwa zokubukwa , kunikelwe ngeminikelo yokushiswa ekuseni nakusihlwa ngamasabatha , nangokwethwasa kwenyanga , nangemikhosi emisiweyo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu . Lokhu kungumthetho kwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade.

Kodwa ngubani onamandla okumakhela indlu, lokhu izulu nezulu lamazulu lingemanele na ? Pho, mina ngingubani ukuba ngimakhele indlu , ukuze kushiswe impepho phambi kwakhe na?

UHezekiya wathumela kuye wonke u -Israyeli noJuda, walobela o-Efrayimi noManase izincwadi ukuba beze endlini kaJehova eJerusalema , bamenzele uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli iphasika.

NakwaJuda sasikhona isandla sikaNkulunkulu ukubanika inhliziyonye ukuba benze isiyalezo senkosi nesezikhulu ngezwi likaJehova.

Kwabuthana eJerusalema abantu abaningi ukuba bagubhe umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo ngenyanga yesibili, ibandla elikhulu kakhulu.

Ngokuba babe baningi ebandleni ababengazingcwelisanga ; amaLevi ayephezu kokuhlatshwa kwamaphasika abo bonke ababengahlambulukile ukuba abangcwelisele uJehova.

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

Benza isinqumo sokuhambisa izwi ku -Israyeli wonke kusukela eBeri Sheba kuze kube kwaDani ukuba bafike , bamenzele uJehova uNkulunkulu ka - Israyeli iphasika eJerusalema , ngokuba babengalenzanga ebandleni njengokulotshiweyo.

Zase zihamba izigijimi nezincwadi eziphuma esandleni senkosi nasezikhulwini zayo, zaya kuye wonke u -Israyeli noJuda ngesiyalezo senkosi sokuthi: Nina bantwana bakwa -Israyeli, buyelani kuJehova uNkulunkulu ka - Abrahama noka -Isaka noka -Israyeli ukuba abuyele kuyo insali yenu yabasindileyo esandleni samakhosi ase-Asiriya.

Ningabi ntamo elukhuni njeng awoyihlo, kepha nimnike uJehova isandla senu, ningene endlini yakhe engcwele ayingcwelisile kuze kube phakade , nimkhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ukuba ulaka lwakhe oluvuthayo lubuye kini.

Wayesesho uHezekiya ukuba kulungiswe amakamelo endlini kaJehova ; bawalungisa-ke.

UKore, indodana kaJimna umLevi , umlindisango wasesangwe ni lasempumalanga, wayephethe iminikelo yesihle kaNkulunkulu ukuba abele iminikelo kaJehova nezinto ezingcwele.

Phansi kwakhe kwakungo -Edene, noMiniyamini, noJeshuwa, noShemaya, no-Amariya, noShekaniya emizini yabapristi ezikhundleni zabo ukuba babele abafowabo ngezigaba zabo abakhulu njengabancane,

UHezekiya wamisa izigaba zabapristi nezamaLevi ngezigaba zabo , kwaba yilowo nalowo njengenkonzo yakhe , abapristi namaLevi beminikelo yokushiswa neminikelo yokuthula, ukuba bakhonze , babonge, badumise emasangweni ekamu likaJehova,

Emisebenzini yonke ayiqalayo enkonzweni yendlu kaNkulunkulu , nasemthethweni, nasemiyalweni, ukuba afune uNkulunkulu wakhe , wakwenza ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakhe, waphumelela.

Washo kubantu abakhileyo eJerusalema ukuba banike abapristi namaLevi izabelo, ukuze babambelele emthethweni kaJehova.

UHezekiya akaniyengi yini ukuba aninikele, nife ngendlala nangokoma , ethi: U Jehova uNkulunkulu wethu uyakusophula esandleni senkosi yase - Asiriya, na?

Bamemeza ngezwi elikhulu ngolimi lwabaJuda kubantu baseJerusalema ababe sogangeni ukuba babethuse, babesabise, ukuze bawuthathe umuzi.

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

Kanjalo namaqondana nezithunywa zezikhulu zaseBabele ezathumela kuye ukubuza ngesibonakaliso esenziwa ezweni uNkulunkulu wamshiya ukumvivinya nje ukuba azi konke okusenhliziyweni yakhe.

Kwabuthana abantu abaningi , bavimba yonke imithombo , nomfudlana owawugobhoza phakathi nezwe , bathi: Kungangani ukuba kufike amakhosi ase-Asiriya, afumane amanzi amaningi, na?

okunaye yingalo yenyama; okunathi nguJehova uNkulunkulu wethu ukuba asisize, alwe izimpi zethu . Abantu bencika emazwini kaHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda.

Wakha i -altare likaJehova , wanikela phezu kwalo ngemihlatshelo yeminikelo yokuthula neyokubonga , washo kuJuda ukuba bamkhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

bayinikeza ezandleni zababewenza umsebenzi ababeyiphethe indlu kaJehova; bona bayinika ababesebenza umsebenzi wasendlini kaJehova ukuba bayilungise, bayiqinise indlu;

bayinika nababazi nabakhi ukuba bathenge amatshe abaziweyo nemithi yokuhlanganisa, benze imishayo yezindlu amakhosi akwaJuda abezichithile.

Inkosi yema endaweni yayo , yenza isivumelwano phambi kukaJehova ukumlandela uJehova nokugcina imiyalo yakhe , nobufakazi bakhe, nezimiso zakhe ngayo yonke inhl iziyo yayo nangawo wonke umphefumulo wayo ukuba iwenze amazwi esivumelwano ayelotshwe kule ncwadi.

Wenza ukuba bonke abafunyanwa eJerusalema nakwaBenjamini beme kuso. Abakhileyo eJerusalema benza njengesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu , uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

UJosiya wazisusa zonke izinengiso emazweni onke akwa -Israyeli, wenza ukuba bonke abafunyanwa kwa -Israyeli bakhonze , bamkhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo . Zonke izinsuku zakhe abasukanga ekumlandeleni uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

Ngomnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili wokubusa kwakhe esehlambululile izwe nendlu , wathuma uShafani, indodana ka -Asaliya, noMahaseya umbusi womuzi, noJowa indodana kaJowahazi , umabhalana, ukuba bayilungise indlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

Ayisusa iminikelo yokushiswa ukuba ayabele njengamaqembu ezindlu zawoyise babantu besizwe , ukuze banikele ngayo kuJehova njengokulotshiweyo encwadini kaMose. Enze njalo nakuzo izinkabi.

Abahlabeleli, amadodana ka -Asafa, babe sendaweni yabo njengokwesiyalezo sikaDavide , no-Asafa, noHemani, noJeduthuni umboni wenkosi; abalindisango babengasesangweni; kwakungadingeki ukuba basuke emsebenzini wabo, ngokuba abafowabo amaLevi babalungisela.

Kepha wathuma izithunywa , wathi: Nginamsebenzi muni nawe nkosi yakwaJuda na? Angiphambene nawe namuhla , kepha ngiphambene nendlu engilwa nayo ; uNkulunkulu ungitshelile ukuba ngisheshe ; mgweme uNkulunkulu onami ukuba angakuchithi.

Kepha uJosiya akaphendukanga kuye, kodwa waziguqula ukuba alwe naye; akalalelanga amazwi kaNekho emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu , weza ukulwa esigodini saseMegido.

Lihlabeni iphasika , nizingcwelise, nilungisele abafowenu ukuba benze njengezwi likaJehova ngesandla sikaMose.

Wayihlubuka inkosi uNebukadinesari eyayimfungisile uJehova , wenza lukhuni intamo yakhe , wenza lukhuni nenhliziyo yakhe ukuba ingaphendukeli kuJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

ukuba ligcwaliseke izwi likaJehova ngomlomo kaJeremiya , lize laneliswe izwe ngamasabatha alo sonke isikhathi liyincithakalo laligcina isabatha kuze kugcwaliswe iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa. Isimemezelo sikaKoresi

Ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi inkosi yasePheresiya ukuba kufezeke izwi likaJehova ngomlomo kaJeremiya uJehova wavusa umoya kaKoresi inko si yasePheresiya ukuba amemezele embusweni wakhe wonke , alobe futhi ngokuthi:

Kwenyukela kuye uNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele , wambopha ngamaketanga ukuba amyise eBabele.

USolomoni wazenza zonke lezo zinto , zaziningi kangako ukuba isisindo sethusi sasingenakutholwa.

nezinti zezibani kanye nezibani zazo ukuba zivuthe njengomthetho phambi kwegumbi, ngegolide elicwengekileyo,

Khona uSolomoni wabutha amalunga akwa -Israyeli, nazo zonke izinhloko zezizwe, izikhulu zawoyise babantwana bakwa -Israyeli eJerusalema ukuba bakhuphule umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova emzini kaDavide oyiSiyoni.

Izinti zazizinde kangako ukuba izihloko zezinti zibonakale zeqe emphongolweni phambi kwegumbi ; kepha zazingabonakali ngapha ndle; usekhona lapho kuze kube namuhla.

ukuba amehlo akho avul ekele le ndlu ubusuku nemini , indawo owasho ngayo ukuthi uyakubeka khona igama lakho , uze ulalele umkhuleko inceku yakho eyakuwukhuleka ibhekene nale ndawo.

ukuba bakwesabe, bahambe ngezindlela zakho zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwabo ezweni owalinika obaba.

Kusukela osukw ini engakhipha ngalo abantu bami u -Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe angikhethanga muzi ezizweni zonke zakwa -Israyeli ukwakha indlu ukuba igama lami libe khona lapho , futhi angikhethanga muntu ukuba abe ngumbusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli,

kodwa ngikhethe iJerusal ema ukuba igama lami libe khona lapho , ngakhetha noDavide ukuba abe phezu kwabantu bami u-Israyeli.

UJehova wabonakala kuSolomoni , wathi kuye : Ngiwuzwile umkhuleko wakho, ngizikhethele le ndawo ukuba ibe yindlu yomhlatshelo.

Uma ngivala izulu ukuba kungabikho mvula , noma ngiyaleza isikhonyane ukuba sidle izwe, noma ngithuma isifo phakathi kwabantu bami,

Manje sengiyikhethile ngayingcwelisa le ndlu ukuba igama lami libe khona lapho kuze kube phakade ; amehlo ami nenhliziyo yami kuyakuba khona lapho isikhathi sonke.

ngiyakusimisa isihlalo sobukhosi sombuso wakho njengesivumelwano sami noDavide uyihlo ngokuthi: Akuyikunqunywa muntu kuwe ukuba kungabikho mbusi kwa-Israyeli.

Abapristi bema njengezikhundla zabo kanye namaLev i, benezinto zokubethwa ayezenzile uDavide inkosi ukuba babonge uJehova , ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade , lapho uDavide edumisa ngezandla zabo ; abapristi bakhalisa amacilongo ngaphambi kwabo, esemi wonke u-Israyeli.

Wamisa njengomthetho kaDavide uyise izigaba zabapristi enkonzweni yabo, namaLevi ezikhundl eni zawo ukuba adumise , akhonze phambi kwabapristi njengokudingekayo imihla ngemihla , nabalindisango ngezigaba zabo emasangweni ngamasango , ngokuba uDavide umuntu kaNkulunkulu wayeyale kanjalo.

Onke amakhosi omhlaba afuna ubuso bukaSolomoni ukuba ezwe ukuhlakanipha kwakhe, uNkulunkulu akubekile enhliziyweni yakhe.

Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho owenamele wena ukuba akubeke esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi ukuba ube yinkosi kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho; ngokuba uNkulunkulu wakho wamthanda u -Israyeli waze wammisa kuze kube phakade, ngalokho wakubeka inkosi phezu kwabo ukuba wenze ukwahlulela nokulunga.

Nakalokhu ngiyakunxusa, nkosikazi, kungengokungathi ngikulobela umyalo omusha kodwa lowo esasinawo kwasekuqaleni ukuba sithandane.

Yilolu-ke uthando ukuba sihambe ngokwemiyalo yakhe ; yiwo umyalo ukuba nihambe ngawo, njengalokho nezwa kwasekuqaleni. Ukuxwayisa ngabakhohlisi nangomphikukristu

kepha ngizakukhuthalela ukuba ngezikhathi zonke emva kokumuka kwami nisale nizikhumbule lezo zinto.

Ngokuba ngabe kwab a ngcono kubo ukuba babengayazanga indlela yokulunga kunokuba kuthi sebayazile bafulathele umyalo ongcwele ababewunikeziwe.

Ngokuba uma uNk ulunkulu engayekanga izingelosi ezonileyo , kodwa wazinikela ukuba ziphonswe esihogweni , emigodini yobumnyama , ukuba zigcinelwe ukwahlulelwa,

Njengokuba konke kuyakubhidlika kanjalo, kumelwe ukuba nibe ngabantu abanjani ekuhambeni okungcwele nase kumesabeni uNkulunkulu,

Ngakho, bathandekayo, lokhu nibheka lezo zinto , khuthalelani ukuba nifunyanwe ninokuthula, ningenabala, ningenacala kuye,

INkosi ayilibali ngesithembiso sayo , njengalokhu abanye bathi kungukulibala, kepha iyanibekezelela, ingathandi ukuba kubhubhe namunye, kodwa ukuba bonke beze ekuphendukeni.

engamiselwa lona ukuba ngibe ngummemezeli, nomphostoli, nomfundisi;

iNkosi mayimnike ukuba athole ububele eNkosini ngalolo suku -- konke akhonza ngakho e-Efesu uyakwazi wena kakhulu.

kuThimothewu, umntwana othandekayo: Makube kuwe umusa , nobubele, nokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba nakuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu. UPawulu umvusa uThimothewu ukuba aqine ekulweleni ivangeli

Ngaleso sizathu ngiyakukhumbuza ukuba uvuse isipho somusa sikaNkulunkulu esikhona kuwe ngokubeka izandla zami.

Khuthalela ukuba uziveze uthembekile kuNkulunkulu , isisebenzi esingenamahloni, esiqondisa kahle izwi leqiniso.

basanguluke, baphume ogibeni lukaSathane ababanjwe nguye ukuba benze intando yakhe.

Umlimi osebenzayo kufanele ukuba kwamukele yena izithelo kuqala.

kodwa iNkosi yangimela , yangipha amandla ukuba intshumayelo ipheleliswe ngami , nabezizwe bonke bezwe ; ngase ngikhululwa emlonyeni wengonyama.

sengibekelwe umqhele wokulunga eyakungipha wona ngalolo suku iNkosi , umahluleli olungileyo , kungeyimi ngedwa , kepha bonke abathandile ukubonakala kwayo. UThimothewu ucelwa ukuba afike kuPawulu

ngiyacela ukuba, nxa ngikhona, kungasweleki ukuba ngibasukele ngesibindi engiqonde ukuba naso kwabanye abasho ngathi ukuthi sihamba ngokwenyama.

Ngokuba noma ngingaze ngizibonge ngaphezulwana ngamandla ethu eyasipha wona iNkosi ukuba nakhiwe kungengukuba nibhidlizwe , angiyikujabhiswa,

Ngokuba ngiyanishisekela ngokushisekela kukaNkulunkulu , ngokuba nganendisela endodeni eyodwa ukuba nginiyise kuKristu niyintombi emhlophe.

EDamaseku induna yenkosi u-Aretha yalinda umuzi wamaDamaseku ukuba ingibambe;

Kumbe ng onile yini ngokuzithoba ukuba niphakanyiswe nina , lokhu nganishumayeza ngesihle ivangeli likaNkulunkulu na?

Ngaphanga amanye amabandla , ngithatha iholo kuwo , ukuba ngikhonze nina;

nalapho ngikhona kini ngiswele , angibanga mthwalo kumuntu , ngokuba abazalwane abavela eMakedoniya bakuqeda ukuswela kwami ; ezintweni zonke ngazilinda ukuba nginganisindi, futhi ngisezakuzilinda.

Kumelwe ukuba ngizibonge noma kungasizi ; kepha sengizakuphatha imibono nezambulo zeNkosi.

Sengize ngaba yisiwula ; nina ningiphoqile . Ngokuba mina kwakufanele ukuba n ginconywe yinina . Ngokuba angisilele ngalutho kubaphostoli abaqhamileyo kakhulu, noma ngingento yalutho.

ukuthi wahlwithwa wayiswa eParadisi , wezwa amazwi angakhulumekiyo , okungavunyelwe ukuba umuntu awakhulume.

Ngalokho ukuze ngingaziphakamisi kakhulu ngobukhulu bezambulo , nganikwa iva enyameni , ingelosi kaSathane , ukuba ingimukule , ukuze ngingaziphakamisi kakhulu.

Ngayo-ke nganxusa iNkosi kathathu ukuba isuke kimi.

Ngokuba noma wabethelwa esiphambanweni ngobuthakathaka , nokho uyaphila ngamandl a kaNkulunkulu . Ngokuba nathi sibuthakathaka kuye , kodwa sizakuphila kanye naye ngamandla kaNkulunkulu ngakini. UPawulu ululeka ukuba nabo bazihlole, engakafiki

Zihloleni nina, nibone ukuba nisekukholweni yini , nizivivinye nina. Kanti anizazeli yini ukuthi uJesu Kristu ukinina? Uma kungenjalo, ningabokwaliwa.

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

Kepha mina ngibiza uNkulunkulu abe ngufakazi emphefumulweni wami ukuthi ngenziwa ukuniphephisa ukuba ngingaphindanga ngize eKorinte,

Ngokuba asithandi, bazalwane, ukuba ningazi ngosizi lwethu olwasehlela e- Asiya ukuthi sasindwa kakhulu impela ngaphezu kwamandla ethu , saze salahlekelwa nayithemba lokuphila.

Kepha mhla ngifika eTrowa ukuba ngishumayele ivangeli likaKristu , ngivulelwe umnyango eNkosini,

Ngalokho ngiyanincenga ukuba nimphathe ngothando;

ngokuba ngaloba futhi ngenxa yalokho , ukuze ngokuhlolwa kwenu ngazi ukuba ningabalalelayo ezintweni zonke yini.

Ngokuba uNkulunkulu owathi : Akuvele ukukhanya ebumnyameni, kukhanye, nguyena owakhanyisa ezinhliziyweni zethu ukuba kukhanye ukwazi inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ebusweni bukaKristu. Amandla avela evangelini ayaqinisa ezinhluphekweni nasezingozini

Kepha konke kuvela kuNkulunkulu owenza ukuba sibuyisane naye ngoKristu, wasinika inkonzo yokubuyisana,

ngokuba uNkulunkulu ekuKristu wenza ukuba izwe libuyisane naye , engababaleli iziphambeko zabo, ebeka kithi izwi lokubuyisana.

Ngalokho futhi , noma sisekhaya noma sahlukene nalo , sihlose ukuba sibe ngabathandeka kuye.

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

njengabadabukileyo kepha siyathokoza njalo , njengabampofu kepha sicebisa abaningi, njengabangenalutho kanti sinakho konke. UPawulu uxwayisa abakholwayo ukuba bangadlelani nabangakholwayo

Angikusho ngokunilahla ; ngokuba ngasho ngaphambili ukuthi nisezinhliziyweni zethu ukuba sife kanye nani, siphile kanye nani.

Ngokuba angikusho lokhu ukuba abanye bakhululeke , nina nikhathazeke, kodwa kube ngokulinganayo,

ukuze kuthi ngalesi sikhathi inala yenu isize bona ekusweleni kwabo ukuba nenala yabo isize nina ekusweleni kwenu, kube khona ukulingana,

kungesikho lokho kuphela, kodwa ukhethiwe futhi yiwo amabandla ukuba ahambisane nathi ngendaba yalo mnikelo osetshenzwe yithi , kube ludumo kuyo iNkosi, kubonakalise ukukhuthala kwethu,

ukuthi ekuvivinyweni okukhulu kosizi ukuthokoza kwawo okuvamileyo nobumpofu bawo obukhulu kwenza ukuba avame kakhulu ekup haneni okupheleleyo;

saze samncenga uThithu ukuba , njengalokho wayeseqalile ngaphambili , kanjalo afeze futhi kini lowo msebenzi womusa.

Ngokuba maqondana nokukhonza abangcwele akuswelekile ukuba nginilobele,

Kepha ngithumile abazalwane ukuba ukuzincoma kwethu ngani kungenziwa ize maqondana nalokhu, ukuze kuthi njengokusho kwami nibe senilungisele,

Ngalokho-ke bengithi kudingeka ukuba ngincenge abazalwane ukuba bandulele ukuza kini , balungisele ngaphambili isipho senu esathenjiswa ngaphambili, sona sihlale silungisi we, sibe njengesesibusiso , singabi njengesokuncishana.

nxa efika ukuba akhazimuliswe kubo abangcwele bakhe , abe ngomangalisayo kubo bonke abakholwa ngalowo muhla, ngokuba nakholwa ngukufakaza kwethu.

uma kambe kuyinto elungile kuNkulunkulu ukuba abuyisele ukuhlupheka kubo abanihluphayo,

ukuba bonke abangakholwanga yiqiniso benamela ukungalungi balahlwe. Ukubonga nokunxusa kukaPawulu

ukuba ningasheshi ninyak aziswe engqondweni yenu , ningethuswa noma ngomoya, noma ngezwi, noma ngencwadi ngokungathi ivela kithi , sengathi usuku lukaKristu selufikile.

Elokugcina, bazalwane, sikhulekeleni ukuba izwi leNkosi likhawuleze , lidunyiswe, njengalokhu kunjalo nakini,

abanjalo siyabayala sibaluleka eNkosini uJesu Kristu ukuba basebenze ngokuthula, badle esabo isinkwa.

Kodwa siyaniyala, bazalwane, egameni leNkosi uJesu Kristu ukuba nizahlukanise nabazalwane bonke abahamba ngokungafanele , bengahambi ngomyalo eniwamukele kithina.

Ngokuba nani niyazi ngokwenu ukuthi kufanele ukuba nisilingise kanjani , ngokuba asihambanga ngokungafanele phakathi kwenu,

asidlanga sinkwa samuntu ngesihle , kodwa sadla ngokukhandleka nangokukhathazeka, sisebenza ubusuku nemini ukuba singasindi muntu kini,

abantu abaseleyo wababeka esandleni sika -Abishayi umfowabo, wabahlela ukuba balwe nabantwana bakwa-Amoni.

UJowabe nabantu ababe naye base besondela ukuba balwe nama -Aramu; kepha abaleka phambi kwakhe.

Kepha izikhulu zabantwana bakwa-Amoni zathi kuHanuni inkosi yazo: Imbala ngokubona kwakho uDavide uthume abaduduzi kuwe ukuba atuse uyihlo na? UDavide akazithumanga yini izinceku zakhe kuwe ukuba ziphenye umuzi, ziwuhlole, ziwuchithe, na?

Kepha uJowabe esebona ukuthi izimpondo zempi zimhaqile ngaphambili nangasemuva wakhetha kwabakhethekileyo bakwa-Israyeli, wabahlela ukuba balwe nama-Aramu;

Wayesethi uDavide ku -Uriya: Hlala lapha nanamuhla ; kusasa ngiyakukuvumela ukuba uhambe. U-Uriya wayesehlala eJerusalema lolo suku nolulandelayo.

Waloba encwadini ukuthi : Misani u -Uriya ngaphambili, lapho impi ishisa khona, nihlehle kuye ukuba ashaywe, afe.

Ngalokho inkemba ayiyikusuka endlini yakho , ngokuba ungidelele , wathatha umka-Uriya umHeti ukuba abe ngumkakho.

Wathi-ke yena : Umntwana esekhona ngazila ukudla , ngakhala, ngokuba ngathi: Ngubani owaziyo ingabe uJehova uyakuba nomusa kimi ukuba umntwana aphile na?

Udeleleleni izwi likaJehova ukuba wenze okubi emehlweni akhe na ? Ubulele u -Uriya umHeti ngenkemba , wathatha umkakhe abe ngumkakho , wambulala ngenkemba yabantwana bakwa-Amoni.

Wayesethi u -Amnoni kuTamari : Letha ukudla ekamelweni lami ukuba ngidle esandleni sakho. UTamari wawathatha amaqebelengwane awenzileyo, wawangenisa ekamelweni ku-Amnoni umnewabo.

Lapho ewasondeza kuye ukuba awadle , wambamba, wathi kuye : Woza ulale nami, dadewethu.

Yena wathi kuye : Qha, mnewethu, ungangiphoqi, ngokuba akufanele ukuba kwenziwe kanjalo kwa-Israyeli; ungenzi lobu buwula.

U-Abisalomu wayicindezela , yaze yavuma ukuba u -Amnoni nawo onke amadodana ahambe naye.

Wayesethi uJonadaba kuye: Lala embhedeni wakho, uzishaye ogulayo; lapho eseza uyihlo ukukubona, uthi kuye: Ake kuze uTamari udadewethu , angiphe ukudla, akulungise ukudla emehlweni ami ukuba ngikubone , ngikudle esandleni sakhe.

Wayeselala phansi u-Amnoni, wazishaya ogulayo; isifikile inkosi ukumbona, u-Amnoni wathi enkosini : Ake kuze uTamari udadewethu , enze amaqebelengwane amabili phambi kwami ukuba ngidle esandleni sakhe.

Wayesethi yena: Inkosi ake ikhumbule uJehova uNkulunkulu wayo ukuba umphindiseli wegazi angaqhubeki ukuchitha nokuba bangayibulali indodana yami. Yathi: Kuphila kukaJehova , akuyikuwela phansi nolulodwa unwele lwendodana yakho.

Ngokuba simelwe ukufa , sinjengamanzi achith wa emhlabathini , angenakuqoqwa futhi; uNkulunkulu akasusi ukuphila , kepha uqamba amasu ukuba oxoshiweyo angabi ngumxoshwa kuye.

uJowabe inceku yakho wenzile lokho ukuba aphendukezele ubuso bendaba; inkosi yami ihlakaniphile njengokuhlakanipha kwengelosi kaNkulun kulu ukwazi konke okusemhlabeni. Ukubuya kuka-Abisalomu nokuthethelelwa kwakhe

U-Abisalomu wayesethumela kuJowabe ukuba amthume enkosini , kepha akavumanga ukuza kuye ; waphinda wathu mela ngokwesibili , kepha akavumanga ukuza.

U-Abisalomu wathi kuJowabe: Bheka, ngithumele kuwe, ngithi: Woza lapha ukuba ngikuthume enkosini ukuyothi : Ngisukeleni eGeshuri na ? Ngabe kungcono kimi ukuba bengisekh ona lapho . Ngalokho mangibone ubuso benkosi; uma kukhona icala kimi, mayingibulale.

Bheka, umndeni wonke usuvukele incekukazi yakho ; bathi: S inike yena owashaya umfowabo ukuba simbulale ngenxa yomphefumulo womfowabo , sichithe indlalifa . Bayakucima kanjalo ilahle lami eliseleyo , bangabe besashiyela indoda yami igama nensali ebusweni bomhlaba.

Kwathi emva kwalokho u -Abisalomu wazilungiselela inqola , namahhashi, nabantu abangamashumi ayisihlanu ukuba bagijime phambi kwakhe.

Yayisiphuma inkosi , bonke abendlu bayo beyilandela. Inkosi yashiya abesifazane abayishumi abayizancinza ukuba balinde indlu.

U-Abisalomu wavuka ekuseni , wema ngaseceleni kwendlela yesango ; kwakuthi wonke um untu onecala eliya enkosini ukuba lithethwe , u- Abisalomu wambiza wathi : Ungowamuphi umuzi na ? athi: Inceku yakho ingowesinye sezizwe zakwa-Israyeli.

Wathi u -Abisalomu kuye : Bheka, izindaba zakho zinhle , zilungile, kepha akukho muntu obekwe yinkosi ukuba akuzwe.

Kwathi ukuba uDavide adundubale esiqongweni , lapho kukhulekwa khona kuNkulunkulu, bheka, kwamhlangabeza uHushayi umAr ki, ibhantshi lakhe liklebhukile, enomhlabathi ekhanda lakhe.

Kwathi lapho kusondela umuntu ukuba akhuleke kuye , waselula isandla sakhe, wambamba, wamanga.

Wathi-ke u -Ahithofeli ku -Abisalomu: Ngena kuzo izancinza z ikayihlo azishiyile ukuba zilinde indlu ; u-Israyeli wonke uyakuzwa ukuba unengwa nguyihlo, ziqine izandla zabo bonke abanawe.

Ngalokho ngiyaluleka ukuba wo nke u -Israyeli abuthane kuwe , kusukela kwaDani kuze kufike eBeri Sheba , ngangesihlabathi esingasolwandle ngobuningi, wena uqobo lwakho uye empini.

U-Abisalomu nabantu bonke bakwa -Israyeli bathi : Isiluleko sikaHu shayi umArki singcono kunesiluleko sika-Ahithofeli. Ngokuba uJehova wayenqumile ukuba kushafiswe isiluleko esihle sika -Ahithofeli, ukuze uJehova amehlisele u-Abisalomu okubi.

OJonathani no -Ahimahasi babehlala e -Eni Rogeli ; incekukazi yayizinge ibatshela; bona bahamba bayibikela inkosi uDavide ukuba bangabonwa behamba beya emzini.

nezinyosi, namangqanga, nezimvu, noshizi wezinkomo kuDavide nabantu ababe naye ukuba badle , ngokuba bathi : Abantu balambile , bakhathele, bomile ehlane.

Kepha abantu bathi : Awuyikuphuma, ngokuba uma sibaleka, abayikusinakekela; noma kufa inxenye yethu , abayikusikhathalela, kepha wena unjengezinkulungwane eziyishumi zethu; ngalokho kuhle ukuba usisize usemzini.

U-Abisalomu esamgcoba ukuba abe phezu kwethu usefile empini . Manje nithuleleni, ningayibuyisi inkosi na? Ukubuyiswa kukaDavide

Inkosi uDavide yathumela kuSadoki naku -Abiyathara abapristi , yathi: Khulumani kumalunga akwaJuda , nithi: Kungani ukuba nibe ngabokugcina ukubuyisela inkosi endlini yayo , lokhu kufinyelele enkosini nasendlini yayo konke ukukhuluma kuka-Israyeli, na?

Ningabafowethu, niyithambo lami nenyama yami; ngalokho kungani ukuba nibe ngabokugcina ukuyibuyisa inkosi na?

Yayisibuya inkosi , yafika eJordani ; uJuda wafika eGiligali ukuba ayihlangabeze inkosi, ayiwelise inkosi iJordani.

Wathi enkosini : Inkosi yami mayingangibaleli icala , futhi ungakhumbuli okubi okwenziwa yinceku yakho mhla inkosi yami , inkosi, iphuma eJerusalema, ukuba inkosi ikubeke enhliziyweni yayo.

UDavide wathi : Nginamsebenzi muni nani madodana kaSeruya ukuba nimelane nami namuhla na ? Kuzakubulawa umuntu namuhla kwa -Israyeli na? Angazi yini mina ukuthi namuhla ngiyinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli na?

Wathi: Nkosi yami , nkosi, inceku yami yangikhohlisa , ngokuba inceku yakho yathi : Ngiyakuzibophelela imbongolo ukuba ngiyikhwele , ngihambe nenkosi, ngokuba inceku yakho ilunyonga.

Ngokuba yonke indlu kababa yayinjengabantu abafileyo phambi kwenkosi yami, inkosi; kepha wayibeka inceku yakho phakathi kwabadla etafuleni lakho. Ngisenalungelo lini ukuba ngibuye ngikhale enkosini na?

Wayesethi uBarizilayi enkosini : Zingaki izinsuku zeminyaka yokuhamba kwami ukuba ngenyukele eJerusalema nenkosi na?

Mayibuyele emuva inceku yakho ukuba ngifele emzini wami ngasethuneni likababa nelikamame . Kepha bheka , inceku yakho uKimihamu mayiwele nenkosi yami, inkosi, wenze kuyo okuhle emehlweni akho.

Bonke abantu bakwaJuda baphendula abantu bakwa -Israyeli, bathi: Ngokuba inkosi iyisih lobo sethu impela ; kungani ukuba nithukuthele ngale nto na? Sike sadla ntoni engeyenkosi na? Isixoshisile ngamaxosho na?

UDavide wathi kuyo : Yini ukuba ungesabanga ukwelula isandla sakho , ubhubhise ogcotshiweyo kaJehova, na?

Esesusiwe emendweni, abantu bonke badlula bamlandela uJowabe ukuba bamxoshe uSheba indodana kaBikri.

Bafika bamvimbezela e -Abela laseBeti Mahakha , banqwabela iduli ngasemzini elema ngasodongeni ; abantu bonke ababe n oJowabe babhidliza ugange ukuba luwe.

Kwase kumemeza owesifazane ohlakaniphileyo esemzini , wathi: Zwanini! Zwanini! Ake nithi kuJowabe: Sondela lapho ukuba ngikhulume nawe.

UJowabe waphendula wathi : Makube kude , makube kude nami ukuba ngigwinye noma ngichithe.

UDavide wafika endlini yakhe eJerusalema ; inkosi yathatha abesifazane abayishumi, izancinza zayo, eyayibashiyile ukuba bayilinde indlu , yababeka endlini yokulindela , yabapha uk udla, kepha ayingenanga kubo . Base bevalelwe kwaze kwaba sosukwini lokufa kwabo, behlezi njengabafelokazi.

Emva kwakhe kwaphuma amadoda kaJowabe , namaKhereti namaPheleti , namaqhawe onke; baphuma eJerusalema ukuba ba mxoshe uSheba indodana kaBikri.

UJowabe wayesethi ku -Amasa: Usaphila, mfowethu, na? UJowabe wambamba u-Amasa ngesilevu ngesandla sakhe sokunene ukuba amange.

URispa indodakazi ka -Aya wathatha indwangu yamasaka , wazendlalela yona edwaleni , kusukela ekuqaleni kokuvuna kuze kuthelwe phezu kwabo amanzi asezulwini; akavumelanga izinyoni zezulu ukuba zihlale phezu kwabo emini, nezilwane zasendle ebusuku.

wathi-ke uDavide kwabaseGibeyoni : Nginenzele ntoni na ? Ngingenza ukubuyisana ngantoni ukuba nibusise ifa likaJehova na?

Bathi enkosini : Umuntu owasibul alayo waceba ngathi ukuba sichithwe singasali phakathi kwemikhawulo yakwa-Israyeli,

Ngokuba yonke imithetho yakh e yayiphambi kwami , nezimiso zakhe angizivumanga ukuba zisuke kimi.

Uyasindisa abantu abathobekileyo , kepha amehlo akho aphezu kwabaqhoshileyo ukuba ubathobise.

wasuka wabulala amaFilisti saze sakhathala isandla sakhe , isandla sakhe sanamathela enkembeni ; uJehova wenza insindiso enkulu ngalolo suku ; abantu babuya emva kwakhe ukuba baphange kuphela.

Wathi: Makube kude nami , Jehova, ukuba ngenze lokhu ; kuyigazi lalabo bantu ababesuka besengozini. Akavumanga ukuwaphuza. Lezo zinto zenziwa yilawa maqhawe amathathu.

Wathi ukuba uDavide avuke ekuseni, kwafika izwi likaJehova kumprofethi uGadi umboni kaDavide lokuthi:

Hamba ukhulume kuDavide ngokuthi : U Jehova usho kanje , uthi: Ngiyakubekela izinto ezintathu; khetha enye kuzo ukuba ngikwenzele yona.

Inkosi yathi kuJowabe induna yempi eyayinaye: Hamba ezizweni zonke zakwa-Israyeli kusukela kwaDani kuze kube seBeri Sheba , nibale abantu ukuba ngiwazi umumo wabantu.

Wathi u -Arawuna: Kungani uku ba inkosi yami , inkosi, ifikile encekwini yayo na ? UDavide wathi : Ukuba ngithenge kuwe isibuya , ngimakhele uJehova i-altare, ukuze lesi sifo sinqamuke kubantu.

Nokho izwi lenkosi lamahlula uJowabe nezinduna zempi . UJowabe nezinduna zempi baphuma ebusweni benkosi ukuba babale abantu bakwa - Israyeli.

U-Abineri wabuye wathi ku -Asaheli: Chezuka ekungilandeleni; yini ukuba ngikucekele phansi na ? Ngingaphakamisa kanjani ubuso bami ngakuJowabe umfowenu na?

U-Abineri wayesememeza kuJowabe , wathi: Inkemba iyakudla njalonjalo na? Awazi yini ukuthi kuyakuba khona umunyu ekugcineni na ? Koze kube nini ungabayali abantu ukuba babuye ekubalandeleni abafowabo na?

U-Abineri wayesethi kuDavide: Ngiyakusuka ngihambe ngiqoqele wonke u - Israyeli enkosini yami, inkosi, ukuba benze isivumelwano nawe nokuba ubuse phezu kwakho konke ekufisayo inhliziyo yakho . UDavide wammukisa u - Abineri, wahamba ngokuthula.

U-Abineri esebuyele eHebroni , uJowabe wamchezukisela phakathi kwesango ukuba akhulume naye bebodwa , wamgwaza lapho esiswini waze wafa ngenxa yegazi lika-Asaheli umfowabo.

maliwele ekhanda likaJowabe nakuyo yonke indlu ka yise. Makungaphuthi endlini kaJowabe ukuba kube khona ocucuzayo , nonochoko, nozimelelayo ngodondolo, nowayo ngenkemba, noswele isinkwa.

Bonke a bantu bafika ukuba bamdlise uDavide isinkwa kusesemini ; kepha uDavide wafunga wathi : Makenze njalo kimi uNkulunkulu , enezele futhi , uma ngidla isinkwa noma okunye lingakashoni ilanga.

UDavide waqonda ukuthi uJehova wayemmisile impela ukuba abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli nokuthi uphakamisile umbuso wakhe ngenxa yabantu bakhe u - Israyeli.

Lapho amaFilisti esezwile ukuthi bamgcobile uDavide ukuba abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli, onke amaFilisti enyuka ukumfuna uDavide ; uDavide wakuzwa, wehlela enqabeni.

Wayesethi uDavide kuMikhali : Ngaphambi kukaJehova owangikhetha phezu kukayihlo naphezu kwayo yonke indlu yakhe ukungimisa ukuba ngibe ngumbusi wabantu bakaJehova kwa -Israyeli, yebo, ngaphambi kukaJehova ngathokoza.

Ngiyakumisela abantu bami u -Israyeli indawo, ngibatshale ukuba bahlale endaweni yabo , bangabe besanyakaziswa ; futhi abantu ababi abasayikubahlupha njengakuqala,

kusukela osukwini engayaleza ngalo abahluleli ukuba babe phezu kwabantu bami u -Israyeli, ngikuphumuze ezitheni zakho zonke . Futhi uJehova uyakutshela ukuthi uJehova uyakukwenzela wena indlu.

Ngenxa yezwi lakho nanjengokwenhliziyo yakho wenzile konke lokho okukhulu ukuba ukwazise inceku yakho.

Yisiphi isizwe nesisodwa emhlabeni esinjengabantu bakho u -Israyeli, uNkulunkulu ayakuzihlengela bona ukuba babe ngabantu bakhe , azenzele igama, anenzele nina izinto ezinkulu, alenzele izwe lakini izinto ezesabekayo phambi kwabantu bakho owazihlengela bona eGibithe ezizweni nakubo onkulunkulu bazo, na?

Wazimisela ukuba abantu bakho u-Israyeli babe ngabantu bakho kuze kube phakade, wena Jehova ube nguNkulunkulu wabo.

ngalokho-ke mawuvume ukubusisa indlu yenceku yakho ukuba ibe sebusweni bakho kuze kube phakade , ngokuba wena Nkosi , Jehova, ukukhulumile; ngesibusiso sakho mayibusiswe indlu y enceku yakho kuze kube phakade.

Hamba uyitshele inceku yami uDavide ukuthi : U sho kanje uJehova , uthi: Uyakungakhela indlu ukuba ngihlale kuyo na?

Ngalokho uyakusho kanje encekwini yami uDavide , uthi: U sho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Mina ngakuthatha edlelweni ekwaluseni izimvu ukuba ube ngumbusi wabantu bami kwa-Israyeli;

UDavide wathi : Usekhona yini osele endlini kaSawule ukuba ngimenzele umusa ngenxa kaJonathani na?

Uyakumlimela umhlabathi , wena namadodana akho nezinceku zakho , uvune ukuba indodana yenkosi yakho ibe nokudla , kepha uMef ibosheti indodana yenkosi yakho uyakudla njalo etafuleni lami . USiba wayenamadodana ayishumi nanhlanu nezinceku ezingamashumi amabili.

Wakhuleka wathi: Iyini inceku yakho ukuba ubheke inja efileyo njengami na?

Sithandwa, kunakho konke ngikufisela ukuba ube nenhlanhla nokuphila , njengokuba umphefumulo wakho unenhlanhla.

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

Emva kuka-Abimeleki kwavela uThola indodana kaPhuwa kaDodo , umuntu wakwa-Isakare, ukuba asindise u -Israyeli; wayehlala eShamiri ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi.

Abantwana bakwa-Amoni bawela iJordani ukuba balwe noJuda noBenjamini nendlu yakwa-Efrayimi; u-Israyeli wantula kakhulu.

UJefta wathuma izithunywa enkosini yabantwana bakwa -Amoni, wathi: Unamsebenzi muni nami ukuba uze kimi ukulwa nezwe lakithi na?

Kodwa uSihoni akamethembanga u -Israyeli ukuba adabule emkhawulweni wakhe; kepha uSihoni wabutha bonke abantu bak he, wamisa eJahasi, walwa no-Israyeli.

Awuyikudla lelo uKemoshi unkulunkulu wakho akunika lona ukuba ulidle na? Kanjalo bonke uJehova , uNkulunkulu wethu, abaxosha phambi kwethu , siyalidla elabo.

Yathi kuyise: Mangenzelwe lokhu: ngiyeke izinyanga ezimbili ukuba ngiye , ngehlele ezintabeni, ngililele ubuntombi bami, mina nabangane bami.

Kwaba yisimiso kwa -Israyeli ukuba amadodakazi akwa-Israyeli aye yonke iminyaka ukuyitusa indodakazi kaJefta wakwaGileyad i izinsuku ezine ngomnyaka.

Amalunga akwaGileyadi athi kuJefta: Sibuyele kuwe manje ngalokhu ukuba uhambe nathi, ulwe nabantwana bakwa -Amoni, ube yinhloko phezu kwabo bonke abakhe kwaGileyadi.

Amadoda akwa -Efrayimi abuthana , aya ngasenyakatho ; athi kuJefta : Uwelelani ukulwa nabantwana bakwa-Amoni, ungasibizanga ukuba sihambe nawe, na? Siyakushisa ngomlilo indlu yakho phezu kwakho.

UManowa wathi engelosini kaJehova : Ngubani igama lakho ukuba , lapho esenzekile amazwi akho, sikudumise?

Kwathi lapho bembona, baletha abayeni abangamashumi amathathu ukuba babe naye.

kepha uma ningenakuyiqandela kimi , niyakunginika amayembe angamashumi amathathu nezingubo zokuphendulela ezingamashumi amathathu. Bathi kuye: Yisho imfumbe yakho ukuba siyizwe.

Kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa bathi kumkaSamsoni: Yenza umyeni wakho ukuba asichasisele imfumbe , funa sikushise wena nendlu kayihlo ngomlilo ; nisimemele ukuba nisidle na? Akunjalo na?

Emva kwesikhathi wabuya ukuba amthathe, waphambuka ukuyobona isidumbu sengonyama ; bheka, kwakukhona iqulo lezinyosi esidumbini sengonyama kanye noju.

Kodwa kwathi emva kwesikhathi, ngesikhathi sokuvuna ukolweni, uSamsoni wahambela umkakhe enezinyane lembuzi ; wathi: Ngiyakungena kumkami ekamelweni. Kepha uyise kavumanga ukuba angene.

Abantu bakwaJuda bathi : Nisikhuphukeleleni na ? Bathi: Sikhuphukele ukuba simbophe uSamsoni, senze kuye njengalokho enze kithina.

Base bethi kuye : Sehlele ukuba sikubophe , ukuze sikunikele esandleni samaFilisti. USamsoni wathi kubo : Fungani kimi ukuthi nina aniyikungisukela.

Wazithungela izikhuni ngomlilo , wazivumela ukuba zingene phakathi kwamabele amaFilisti engakavunwa , washisa am aqhinqa nezinhlanga zamabele kanye nezivini neminqumo.

Amakhosi amaFilisti abuthana ukuba ahlabele uDagoni unkulunkulu wawo umhlatshelo omkhulu, athokoze, ngokuba athi: Unkulunkulu wethu unikele uSamsoni isitha sethu esandleni sethu.

Kwathi lapho izinhliziyo zabo sez esasile, bathi: Mbizeni uSamsoni ukuba asidlalele. Bambiza uSamsoni esetilongweni , wadlala phambi kwabo , bambeka phakathi kwezinsika.

USamsoni wathi kumfana owayembambe ngesandla : Ngivumele ukuphatha izinsika indlu emi ngazo ukuba ngencike kuzo.

USamsoni wakhala kuJehova , wathi: Nkosi Nkulunkulu , ake ungikhumbule, ungiqinise kube kanye kuphela , Nkulunkulu, ukuba ngiphindise kumaFilisti ngempindiselo ibenye ngenxa yamehlo ami omabili.

Amakhosi amaFilisti enyukela kuye , athi kuye : Myenge, ubone ukuthi amandla akhe amakhulu aphi nokuthi singamahlula ngani ukuba simbophe , simnqobe; siyakukunika, kube yilowo nalowo, izinhlamvu eziyinkulungwane nekhulu zesiliva.

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

Bathi kuye: Thula, ubeke isandla sakho emlonyeni wakho , uhambe nathi, ube ngubaba nompristi wethu ; kuhle yini ukuba ube ngumpristi wendlu yomuntu munye kunokuba ube ngumpristi wesizwe nomndeni kwa -Israyeli na?

Abantwana bakwaDani bathuma abantu abayisihlanu bomn deni wabo , bephuma kuso sonke isizwe sabo , amaqhawe, beseSora nase -Eshitawoli, ukuba bahlole izwe , balicinge; bathi kubo: Hambani, nilicinge izwe, bafika ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi endlini kaMika, bahlala khona.

Bamemeza kubantwana bakwaDani, baphenduka, bathi kuMika: Yini ukuba ufike nesixuku na?

Base bemuka labo bantu abayisihlanu , bafika eLayishi , babona abantu abakulo ukuthi basahlala belondekile ngendl ela yamaSidoni , benokuthula, bengenaluvalo, ngokuba kwakungekho ezweni onamandla ukuba abajabhise ngalutho; babekude namaSidoni, bengenandaba nabanye abantu.

Bathi: Sukani, senyukele kubo , ngokuba silibonile izwe ; bhekani, lihle kakhulu; niyathula yini? Ningenqeni ukuhamba, ningene ukuba nilidle izwe.

Baphambukela lapho ukuba bangene , balale eGibeya ; wangena, wahlala phansi esigcawini somuzi ; ngokuba kwakungekho muntu owabamukela endlini yakhe ukuba balale khona.

Besajabulisa izinhliziyo zabo, bheka, abantu bomuzi, abantu ababi, bahaqa indlu nxazonke, bangqongqotha emnyango ; basho kum ninindlu, ixhegu, bathi: Khipha lowo muntu owangena endlini yakho ukuba simazi.

Inkosi yakhe yavuka ekuseni , yavula iminya ngo yendlu , yaphuma ukuba ihambe indlela yayo ; bheka, owesifazane, isancinza sakhe , wayewile ngasemnyango wendlu, izandla zakhe ziphezu kombundu.

Umyeni waso wasuka, wasilandela ukuba akhulume kuyo inhliziyo yaso , asibuyise, enenceku yakhe nezimbongolo ezimbili; samngenisa endlini kayise; lapho uyise wentombi embona, wathokoza ukuhlangana naye.

Kwathi ngosuku lwesine bavuka ekuseni kakhulu , wasuka ukuba ahambe ; uyise wentombi wathi kumkhwenyana wakhe : Hlumelela inhliziyo yakho ngocezu lwesinkwa, andukuba nihambe.

Kepha lowo muntu wasukuma nokho ukuba ahambe ; wayesemncengisisa umukhwe wakhe, wabuye walala khona.

Wavuka ekuseni kakhulu ngosuku lwesihlanu ukuba ahambe ; uyise wentombi wathi : Ake uhlumelele inhliziyo yakho , nihlale lize lithambame ilanga. Badla-ke bobabili.

Lapho umuntu esesukuma ukuba ahambe , yena nesancinza sakhe nenceku yakhe, umukhwe wakhe , uyise wentombi, wathi kuye : Bheka, ilanga seliyathambama, sekuzakuhlwa; ake uhlale ubusuku bonke ; yebo, ilanga seliyakuphela; hlala lapha ukuba inhliziyo yakho ithokoze , nivuke kusasa ekuseni kakhulu, nihambe indlela yenu ukuba ufike etendeni lakho.

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

Wazikhombisa intuba yokungena emzini , zawuchitha umuzi ngosiko lwenkemba; kepha zamvumela lowo muntu nomndeni wakhe ukuba bahambe.

Ngasemuva behla abantwana bakwaJuda ukuba balwe namaKhanani ayakhe ezintabeni, nangaseningizimu, nasenzansi.

sithathe abantu abayishumi ekhulwini kuzo zonke izizwe zakwa -Israyeli, nabayikhulu enkulungwaneni , nabayinkulungwane ezinkulungwaneni eziyishumi, ukuba balande ukudla kwabantu , nalapho sebefike eGibeya lakwaBenjamini benze ngokobuwula ababenzile kwa-Israyeli.

Ngalokho khiphani labo bantu , abantu ababi , abaseGibeya, ukuba sibabulale, sixoshe ububi kwa -Israyeli. Kepha uBenjamini kavumanga ukulalela izwi labafowabo, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Abantwana bakwaBenjamini babuthana eGibeya , bevela emizini , ukuba baphume balwe nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Abantu bakwa-Israyeli baphuma ukuba balwe noBenjamini ; abantu bakwa- Israyeli bazihlelela ukulwa nabo eGibeya.

uFinehasi indodana ka -Eleyazare ka -Aroni wema phambi kwawo ngalezo zinsuku bathi: Siyakuphinda siphume ukuba silwe nabantwana bakwaBenjamini umfowethu, nokuba siyeke na? UJehova wathi: Khuphukani, ngokuba kusasa ngiyakubanikela esandleni sakho.

Amalunga enhlangano ayesethi : Siyakwenze njani ukuba abaseleyo babe nabafazi, lokhu abesifazane bechithiwe kwaBenjamini, na?

Bathi: Jehova Nkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, lokhu kwenzelweni kwa-Israyeli ukuba kusilale namuhla esinye isizwe sakwa-Israyeli na?

Siyakwenze njani ukuba abaseleyo babe nabafazi , lokhu sifungile uJehova ukuthi asiyikubanika amadodakazi ethu abe ngomkabo, na?

Kepha kwathi ekufeni komahluleli babuyela emuva , bona kakhulu kunawoyise, ngokulandela abanye onkulunkulu ukuba ba bakhonze, babakhothamele; abayekanga izenzo zabo nendlela yabo yenkani.

ukuze ngivivinye ngazo u -Israyeli, uma beyakugcina indlela kaJehova ukuba bahambe ngayo njengalokho oyise bebeyigcina, noma qha.

UJoshuwa esemukisile abantu, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahamba, yilowo nalowo waya efeni lakhe ukuba balidle izwe.

kuphela ukuba izizukulwane zabantwana bakwa -Israyeli zazi , zifundiswe impi, ikakhulu labo ababengayazi ngaphambili.

Wathi kubo : Ngilandeleni, ngokuba uJehova u nikele izitha zenu abakwaMowabi esandleni senu ! Behla emva kwakhe , bavimba amazibuko aseJordani ababewela ngawo abakwaMowabi , abavumanga ukuba kuwele muntu.

UBaraki wabiza oZebuloni noNafetali ukuba beze eKedeshi ; kwakhuphuka abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi ezinyathelweni zakhe ; naye uDebora wakhuphuka naye.

Wayehlala phansi kwesundu likaDebora phakathi kweRama neBethele ezintabeni zakwa -Efrayimi; abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bakhuphukela kuye ukuba bahlulelwe.

Khona wayenza insali ukuba ibus e abakhulu; abantu bakaJehova bangibeka ukuba ngibuse iziqhwaga.

Qalekisani iMerozi , kwasho ingelos i kaJehova; qalekisani nokuqalekisa abantu balo, ngokuba abezanga ukumsiza uJehov a ukuba bamsize uJehova ukulwa neziqhwaga.

Kwafika ingelosi kaJehova , yahlala phansi kwe -oki lase -Ofira likaJowashi umAbiyezeri; indodana yakhe uGideyoni yayibhula ukolweni esikhamweni sewayini ukuba amthukusele abakwaMidiyani.

UGideyoni wayesethatha amadoda ayishumi ezincekwini zakhe , wenza njengalokho uJehova ekhulumile kuye; kwathi lokhu ebesaba abendlu kayise nabantu bomuzi ukuba angakwenzi emini, wakwenza ebusuku.

Base bethi abantu bomuzi kuJowashi : Khipha indodana yakho ukuba ife , ngokuba ilibhidlizile i -altare likaBali nangokuba imgawul ile u -Ashera owayengakulo.

Wathuma izithunywa kulo lonke lakwaManase , nabo babuthana , bamlandela; wathuma izithunywa ku -Asheri, nakuZebuloni, nakuNafetali, bakhuphuka ukuba babahlangabeze.

Ngokuba benyuka nezinkomo zabo namatende abo, bafika njengesikhonyane ngobuningi; babengenakubalwa bona namakamela abo; bafika ezweni ukuba baliqede.

uzakuzwa ukuthi bathini , andukuba kuqiniswe izandla zakho ukuba wehlele ekamu . Khona wehla noPhura udibi lwakhe emaphethelweni abahlomileyo abasekamu.

UJehova wathi kuGideyoni : Abantu abanawe baningi kakhulu ukuba nginikele abakwaMidiyani esandleni sabo , funa u-Israyeli aziqhenye ngakimi ngokuthi: Isandla sami singisindisile.

Izigaba zontathu zabetha amacilongo , zaphohloza izitsha , zaphatha izimbaqa ngezandla zokhohlo namacilongo ngez andla zokunene ukuba ziwabethe; zamemeza zathi: Inkemba kaJehova nekaGideyoni!

Wayesebehlisela abantu ngasemanzini ; uJehova wathi kuGideyoni : Bonke abaxhapha amanzi ngolimi lwabo njengokuxhapha kwenja babeke bodwa , kanjalo nabo bonke abaguqa ngamadolo ukuba baphuze.

Umumo wabaxhaphayo bebeka isandla emlonyeni wawungamadoda angamakhulu amathathu , kepha bonke abanye abantu baguqa ngamadolo ukuba baphuze amanzi.

Wayesefika kubantu baseSukoti , wathi: Bhekani oZeba noSalimuna enangiswabulela ngabo , nathi: Izandla zikaZeba noSalimuna sezisesandleni sakho ukuba siphe amadoda akho ayethileyo isinkwa na?

UGideyoni wathi kubo : Mangicele okuthile kini ukuba ninginike , kube yilowo nalowo amacici empango yakhe . Babenamacici egolide , lokhu bebengabakwa-Ishmayeli.

Izikhulu zaseSukoti zathi: Izandla zikaZeba noSalimuna sezisesandleni sakho ukuba siphe impi yakho isinkwa na?

Ake nikhulume ezindlebeni zabo bonke abantu baseShekemi, nithi: Yikuphi okuhle kini ukuba onke amadodana kaJerubali angabantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa anibuse nokuba nibuswe n gumuntu munye na ? Khumbulani ukuthi mina ngiyithambo lenu nenyama yenu.

ukuba ubudlo va obenziwe kuwo amadodana angamashumi ayisikhombisa kaJerubali bufike , negazi labo libekwe phezu kuka -Abimeleki umfowabo owababulala, naphezu kwabaseShekemi abaqinisa izandla zakhe ukuba abulale abafowabo.

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?

kuyakuthi ekuseni lisaphuma ilanga , uvuke, uhlasele umuzi; bheka, lapho yena nabantu abanye bephuma ukuba balwe nawe , wenze kubo njengokubona kwakho.

UZebule wayesethi kuye: Uphi manje umlomo wakho ukuba uthi : Ngubani u-Abimeleki ukuba simkhonze na ? Akusibo labo bantu obadeleleyo na? Ake uphume manje, ulwe nabo.

U-Abimeleki wahlala e-Aruma; uZebule wamxosha uGali nabafowabo ukuba bangahlali eShekemi.

U-Abimeleki wafika embhoshongweni, walwa nawo, wasondela emnyango wombhoshongo ukuba awushise ngomlilo.

Wayeseshesha ebiza udibi olwaluphethe izikhali zakhe , wathi kulo: Hosha inkemba yakho, ungibulale ukuba abantu bangasho ngami ukuthi: Wabulawa ngowesifazane. Udibi lwakhe lwase lumgwaza, wafa.

Lapho kubikwa lokho kuJothamu , waya wema esiqongweni sentaba yaseGerizimu, waphakamisa izwi lakhe , wamemeza, wathi kubo: Ngilaleleni nina bantu baseShekemi ukuba uNkulunkulu anilalele nina.

Amehlo ami akwabathembekileyo bomhlab a ukuba bahlale nami ; ohamba endleleni engenacala uyakungikhonza.

ukuba ezwe ukububula kwesiboshwa, akhulule abantwana bokufa,

kubo abagcina isivumelwano sakh e bekhumbula iziyalezo zakhe ukuba bazenze.

Kuhamba khona imikhumbi , uLeviyathani lowo omenzile ukuba adlale kulo.

Umisile umncele ukuba angaweqi, angabuyi ukusibekela umhlaba.

Wayiguqula inhliziyo yabo ukuba bazonde abantu bakhe , baphathe izinceku zakhe ngobuqili.

ukuba baqaphele izimiso zakhe, bagcine imithetho yakhe. Haleluya!

Ngalokho waphakamisa isandla sakhe ngakubo ukuba abawise ehlane,

Sisindise, Jehova Nkulunkulu wethu, sibuthe kwabezizwe ukuba sidumise igama lakho elingcwele, sethabe ekukudumiseni.

Wabahola ngendlela elungileyo ukuba baye emzini wokuhlala.

Siphe ukuba sisizakale ekuhluphekeni, ngokuba ukusiza komuntu kuyize.

Ngokuba wayengakhumbuli ukwenza umusa , kepha wazingela umuntu odingayo nompofu nodabukile ngenhliziyo ukuba ababulale.

Kungani ukuba omubi adelele uNkulunkulu , athi enhliziyweni yakhe : Awuyikukunaka, na?

ukuba wahlulele intandane nocindezelweyo , ukuze umuntu wasemhlabeni angabe esabanga uvalo.

Kwathi ukuba u-Israyeli aphume eGibithe, indlu kaJakobe kubantu bolunye ulimi,

Unani wena lulwandle ukuba ubaleke , nawe Jordani ukuba ubuyiselwe emuva,

nani zintaba ukuba nitshekule njengezinqama , nani magquma eninjengamawundlu, na?

Bayangihlohloloza ukuba ngiwe, kepha uJehova uyangisiza.

Ngiyinceku yakho; ngiphe ingqondo ukuba ngazi ubufakazi bakho.

Amehlo ami ayandulela imilindo yobusuku ukuba ngizindle ngezwi lakho.

Yenzele okuhle inceku yakho ukuba ngiphile, ngigcine izwi lakho.

Vula amehlo ami ukuba ngibone izimangaliso zasemthethweni wakho.

Ngiqondise indlela yeziyalezo zakh o ukuba ngikhulume ngezimangaliso zakho.

Yigcwalise encekwini yakho inkulumo yakho eyenza ukuba wesatshwe.

wena usiyalezile ukuba sizigcine ngokwempela.

Sengathi zingaqondiswa izindlela zami ukuba ngigcine izimiso zakho.

Ningavungamelani, bazalwane, ukuba ningahlulelwa ; bhekani, umahluleli umi ngaseminyango.

Yilabo abakhononayo nabasolayo , behamba ngezinkanuko zabo , umlomo wabo ukhuluma uwangala, betusa ubuso ngenxa yenzuzo. UJuda ululeka ukuba baqine ekukholweni

Kepha kuyena onamandla okunilinda ukuba ningakhubeki, nimiswe phambi kwenkazimulo yakhe ningenasici, ninokuthokoza okukhulu,

Owesifazane wayesebalekela ehlane , lapho enendawo ayilungiselwe nguNkulunkulu, ukuba bamondle izinsuku eziyinkulumgwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha. UMikayeli uyalwa nodrako*

Futhi sibadukisa abakhileyo emhlabeni ngezibonakaliso esazinikwayo ukuba sizenze phambi kwesilo , sithi kwabakhileyo emhlabeni mabasenzele umfanekiso isilo, ebesinenxeba lenkemba kepha sasinda.

Sanikwa futhi ukuba siwuphe umfanekiso wesilo umoya, ukuze umfanekiso wesilo ukhulume , senze futhi ukuba bonke aba ngakhuleki kumfanekiso wesilo babulawe.

Senza futhi ukuba bonke , abancane nabakhulu, nabacebileyo nabampofu, nabakhululekileyo nabayizigqila, bazibeke uphawu esandleni sabo sokunene noma ebunzini labo

ukuba angabikho ongathenga nokuba athengise , uma engenalo uphawu , igama lesilo noma isibalo segama laso.

Sanikwa ukuba silwe nabangcwele , sibanqobe; sanikwa futhi amandla phezu kwemindeni yonke, nabantu, nezilimi, nezizwe.

Bheka, ngiyeza njengesela ; ubusisiwe olindayo , alonde izingubo zakhe ukuba angabi ngohamba ze, baze balibone ihlazo lakhe.

Umuzi omkhulu waba yizinqamu ezintathu , nemizi yabezizwe ya wa. NeBabiloni elikhulu lakhunjulwa phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukuba alinike isitsha sewayini lolaka lwakhe oluvuthayo.

ngokuba bachitha igazi labangcwele nelabaprofethi, wabanika ukuba baliphuze igazi; bakufanele.

Abantu bashiswa ngokushiswa okukhulu , kepha bahlambalaza igama likaNkulunkulu onamandla phezu kwalezi zinhlupho , kodwa abaphendukanga ukuba bamdumise.

ayisihlanu asewile , enye ikhona , enye ayikafiki ; nanxa isifikile , kumelwe ukuba ihlale isikhashana.

ngokuba uNkulunkulu ukufakile ezinhliziyweni zazo ukuba zenze umqondo wakhe, ziwenze umqondo munye, zinike isilo umbuso wazo, aze agcwaliseke amazwi kaNkulunkulu.

ukuba nidle inyama yamakhosi, nenyama yezinduna, nenyama yamaqhawe, nenyama yamahhashi neyabakhwele kuwo , nenyama yabo bonke abakhululekileyo nabayizigqila, abancane nabakhulu.

wanikwa ukuba embathe ilineni elicolekileyo nelikhazimulayo nelihlanzekileyo, ngokuba ilineni elicolekileyo liyizenzo ezilungileyo zabangcwele.

Isambulo sikaJesu Kristu amnika sona uNkulunkulu ukuba abonise izinceku zakhe iz into ezimelwe ukwenzeka masinyane , ethuma ngengelosi yakhe , esibonakalisa encekwini yakhe uJohane

Ngaphenduka ukuba ngibone izwi ebelikhuluma nami; kuthe ngiphenduka, ngabona izinti zezibani eziyisikhombisa zegolide,

yamphonsa-ke kw alasha, yamvalela phakathi , yamqinisa ngophawu ngaphezu kwakhe , ukuze angabe esadukisa izizwe , ize iphele iminyaka eyinkulungwane; emva kwalokho kumelwe ukuba athukululwe isikhashana. Ukuvuka kokuqala. Umbuso weminyaka eyinkulungwane

Umuzi awudingi ilanga nenyanga ukuba kukhanye kuwo , ngokuba inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu iyawukhanyisa, nesibani sawo siyiWundlu.

Babusisiwe abahlanza izingubo zabo ukuba bathole ilu ngelo labo emthini wokuphila, bangene emzini ngamasango.

Mina Johane nginguye owezwa nowabona lezi zinto . Kuthe sengizwile , sengibonile, ngawa phansi ukuba ngikhuleke phambi kwezinyawo zengelosi engikhombisile lezo zinto.

Ungesabi lokho ozakuhlupheka ngakho . Bheka, uSathane uzakuphonsa abanye kini etilongweni ukuba nilingwe , futhi niyakuhlupheka izinsuku eziyishumi. Thembeka kuze kube sekufeni, ngokunika umqhele wokuphila.

Kepha nginalokhu ngawe ukuthi uvumela owesifazane uJezabeli ozisho ukuthi ungumprofethikazi , afundise, adukise izinceku zami ukuba zifebe , zidle okuhlatshelwe izithombe;

Onendlebe makezwe lokho akushoyo uMoya emabandleni . Onqobayo ngiyakumnika ukuba adle ku wo umuthi wokuphila oseParadisi likaNkulunkulu.

Nakuyo ingelosi yebandla laseSardesi loba ukuthi : Nakhu akushoyo onawoMoya abayisikhombisa bakaNkulunkulu nezinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa, uthi: Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho ukuba unegama lokuthi uyaphila , kanti ufile.

ngiyakululeka ukuba uthenge kimi igolide elihlanzwe ngomlilo uku ze ucebe, nezingubo ezimhlophe ukuze wembathe, kungabonakali ihlazo lobuze bakho nomuthi wamehlo wokugcoba amehlo akho ukuba ubone.

Onqobayo ngiyakumnika ukuba ahlale nami esihlalweni sami sobukhosi , njengalokho nami nganqoba, ngahlala noBaba esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi.

Bheka, ngiyakubakhipha esinagogeni likaSathane abazishaya abaJuda bengesibo, kepha beqamba amanga ; bheka, ngiyakubenza ukuba beze bakhuleke phambi kwezinyawo zakho, bazi ukuthi ngikuthandile.

Emva kwalokho ngabona , bheka-ke, umnyango uvulekile ezulwini , nezwi lokuqala engalizwayo linjengelecilongo likhuluma nami , lithi: Yenyukela lapha, ngikutshengise okumelwe ukuba kube khona emva kwalokhu.

Omunye wamalunga wayesethi kimi : Ungakhali; bheka, inqobile iNgonyama yesizwe sakwaJuda , iMpande kaDavide , ukuba ivule incwadi nezimpawu zayo eziyisikhombisa.

Base benikwa , kwaba yilowo nalowo ingubo ende emhlophe , kwashiwo kubo ukuba baphumule isikhashana, baze baphelele abayizinceku kanye nabo nabazalwane babo ababezakubulawa njengabo.

Kuthe ukuba liluvule uphawu lwesikhombisa , kwathi du ezulwini kungathi inxenye yehora.

Kwase kufika enye ingelosi, yema ngase-altare inesitsha segolide sempepho, yanikwa impepho eningi ukuba iyelekele emikhulekweni yabangcwele bonke phezu kwe-altare legolide eliphambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi.

Zase zithukululwa izingelosi ezine ezilungiselwe ihora , nosuku, nenyanga, nomnyaka, ukuba zibulale okwesithathu kwabantu.

Ngalokho ngiphumile ukukuhlangabez a ukuba ngifunisise ubuso bakho ; sengikutholile.

Lapho enza ukuba isibhakabhaka phezulu siqine , nemithombo yotwa iphuphume ngamandla,

ukuba ameme abadlula endleleni, abaqonda emikhondweni yabo, ngokuthi:

Bathi: UKorneliyu induna yekhulu , indoda elungileyo nemesabayo uNkulunkulu, efakazelwa kahle esizweni sonke sabaJuda , uyaliwe yingelosi engcwele ukuba akubizele endlini yakhe, ezwe amazwi kuwe.

Kwathi ukuba angene uPetru , uKorneliyu wamhlangabeza , wawa phansi ngasezinyaweni zakhe, wakhuleka.

Wayesethi: Niyazi ukuthi akuvunyelwe ukuba umuntu ongumJuda ahlangane, ahambelane nowesinye isizwe ; kepha uNkulunkulu ungitshengisile ukuba ngingasho nangoyedwa ukuthi unechilo nokuthi ungcolile.

Ngase ngithumela kuwe ngas o leso sikhathi ; wenze kahle ufike . Manje sesikhona sonke phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukuba sizwe konke okuyalelwe yiNkosi. Intshumayelo kaPetru

Lowo uNkulunkulu wamvusa ngosuku lwesithathu , wamnika ukuba abonakale,

Wasiyala ukuba sishumayele kubantu , sifakaze ukuthi : Nguye omiswe nguNkulunkulu ukuba abe nguMahluleli wabaphilayo nabafileyo.

Ukhona yini ongala namanzi ukuba bangabhapathizwa laba abamukela uMoya oNgcwele njengathi na?

Wayeseyala ukuba babhapathizwe egameni leNkosi. Base bemncenga ukuba ahlale izinsuku ezithile.

Ngakho uma uNkulunkulu ebanikile bona isipho njengathi esakholwa yiNkosi uJesu Kristu, ngingubani mina ukuba ngivimbele uNkulunkulu na?

Kwathi ukuba uPetru enyukele eJerusalema, abokusoka baphikisana naye,

Kepha kwezwakala izwi ngabo ezindlebeni zebandla laseJerusalema ; lase lithuma uBarnaba ukuba ahambe afike e-Antiyokiya;

wathi u kuba afike , abone umusa kaNkulunkulu , wathokoza, wabayala bonke ukuba banamathele eNkosini ngokuzimisela inhliziyo.

UBarnaba wayeseya eTarsu ukuba afune uSawulu;

kwathi esemfumene , wamyisa e -Antiyokiya. Kwase kwenzeka ukuba umnyaka wonke bahlangane ebandleni , befundisa abantu abaningi. Kwaqala e-Antiyokiya ukuba abafundi bathiwe amaKristu. AmaKristu athumela izipho kubazalwane baseJudiya

Abafundi base bezimisela ukuba yilowo nalowo kubo athumele njengamandla akhe okokusiza abazalwane abakhe eJudiya.

Kwathi ukuba ngiyigqolozele, ngabhekisisa, ngabona izilwane zomhlaba ezinezinyawo ezine, nezilo zasendle, nezinwabuzelayo, nezinyoni zezulu.

Ngaleso sikhathi uHero de inkosi welula izandla ukuba ahluphe abathile bebandla.

Wayesebaqhweba ngesandla ukuba bathule , wabalandisa ukuthi iNkosi imkhiphe kanjani etilongweni , wathi: Bikelani uJakobe nabazalwane lokhu . Wayesephuma, waya kwenye indawo.

UHerode esemfunile engamfumananga , wabuzisisa abalindi, wayala ukuba babulawe. Wayesehla eJudiya, waya eKesariya, wahlala khona. Ukufa kukaHerode

Wambamba, wamfaka etilongweni , wamnikela emaviyweni amane , yilelo nalelo linamabutho amane , ukuba amlinde , ehlose ukumkhuphulela ebantwini emva kwePhasika.

Kwathi bekhonza iNkosi , bezila, uMoya oNgcwele wathi : Ngahlukaniseleni oBarnaba noSawulu ukuba baye emsebenzini engibabizele wona.

nakuba bengafumananga icala lokufa kuye , nokho bacela kuPilatu ukuba abulawe.

Maqondana nokumvusa kwakhe kwabafileyo ukuba engasayikubuyela ekuboleni wakhuluma kanje , wathi: Ngizakuninika okungcwel e nokuthembekileyo kukaDavide.

Kwathi ekuphumeni kwabo, babacela ukuba lawo mazwi akhulunywe kubo nangesabatha elizayo.

Khona sebehlakazekile abesinagoge , abaningi babaJuda namaproselite aqotho balandela oPawulu noBarnaba abakhuluma nabo , bebancenga ukuba bahlale emseni kaNkulunkulu.

Khona oPawulu noBarnaba bakhuluma ngesibindi , bathi: Bekudingeka ukuba izwi likaNkulunkulu li khulunywe kini kuqala; kepha lokhu nilinqaba, nizisho nina nithi anifanele ukuphila okuphakade , bhekani, sesiphendukela kwabezizwe.

Kwathi ukuba bakuzwe lokho abaphostoli oBarnaba noPawulu , baklebhula izingubo zabo, baphonseka phakathi kwesixuku bememeza

bethi: Madoda, nikwenzelani lokhu na ? Nathi singabantu abanjengani ngemvelo, sinishumayeza ivangeli ukuba niphenduke kulokho okuyize , niphendukele kuNkulunkulu ophilayo owenza izulu nomhlaba , nolwandle, nakho konke okukukho,

Bekusho lokho, baziyekisa kalukhuni izixuku ukuba zingabahlabeli. UPawulu ushumayela e-Antiyokiya

baqinisa imiphefumulo yabafundi bebaluleka ukuba beme ekukholweni , bethi: Simelwe ukungena embusweni kaNkulunkulu ngezinhlupheko eziningi.

Kwathi ukuba bafike , balibutha ibandla , balanda ngakho konke uNkulunkulu akwenzile ngabo nokuthi uvulele nabezizwe isango lokukholwa.

Nokho bahlala isikhathi eside , befundisa ngesibindi ngeNkosi eyafa kazela izwi lomusa wayo , ibanika ukuba kwenziwe izibonakaliso nezimangaliso ngezandla zabo.

Kwathi ukuba basukelwe yisidumo sabezizwe nabaJuda kanye nababusi babo sokubaphatha kabi nokubakhanda ngamatshe,

USimeyoni uselandile ngokuhlela kukaNkulunkulu ekuqaleni ukuba athathele igama lakhe isizwe kubo abezizwe.

Kuthe ukuba kuvele ukuphambana nok uphikisana okukhulu phakathi kwabo noPawulu noBarnaba, banquma ukuba oPawulu noBarnaba nabathile kubo bakhuphukele eJerusalema kubaphostoli namalunga ngaleyo ndaba.

kodwa masibalobele ukuba bayeke amanyala ezithombe , nawobufebe, nawokuqumbeleneyo, nawegazi.

Ngokuba kwaba kuhle kuMoya oNgcwele nakithi ukuba singanithwesi umthwalo omkhulu ngaphandle kwalezi zinto ezifunekayo

Kepha kwaba kuhle kuSila ukuba asale khona.

Kepha uPawulu wathi akufanele ukuba bahambe naye owabashiya ePhamfiliya, akaze aya nabo emsebenzini.

Kepha kwasukuma abathile behlelo labaFarisi abakholwayo , bathi kumelwe ukuba basokwe, bayalwe ukugcina umthetho kaMose.

Sebephikisene kakhulu, wasukuma uPetru, wathi kubo: Madoda, bazalwane, niyazi ukuthi sekukade uNkulunkulu wakhetha phakathi kwenu ukuba abezizwe bezwe izwi levangeli ngomlomo wami, bakholwe.

Lapho esewubonile umbono , safuna masinyane ukuya eMakedoniya , sathi uNkulunkulu usibizile ukuba sibashumayeze ivangeli.

Owesifazane othile ogama lakhe linguLidiya , engumthengisi wezibubende, wasemzini waseThiyathira, okhonza uNkulunkulu, walalela, iNkosi yayivula inhliziyo yakhe ukuba aqaphele okwakhulunywa nguPawulu.

Yakwenza lokho izinsuku eziningi . Kepha uPawulu esecasukile waphenduka, wathi kumoya : Ngiyakuyala egameni likaJesu Kristu ukuba uphume kuyo. Wayesephuma ngaso leso sikhathi.

bafundisa imikhuba esingavunyelwe ukuba siyam ukele, siyenze thina esingamaRoma.

Isixuku sase sibavukela , nezinduna zayala ukuba bahlutshulwe izingubo , bashaywe ngenduku;

sezibashayile imivimbo eminingi , zabaphonsa etilongweni , zayala umgciniziboshwa ukuba abagcine impela;

Lowo uPawulu wathanda ukuba ahambe naye, wamthatha, wamsoka ngenxa yabaJuda ababekhona kulezo zindawo ; ngokuba bonke babemazi ukuthi uyise wayengumGreki.

wabakhiphela ngaphandle , wathi: Makhosi, ngimelwe ukwenzani ukuba ngisindiswe na?

Umgciniziboshwa wabikela uPawulu law o mazwi , wathi: Izinduna zithumele ukuba nikhululwe. Ngakho phumani manje, nihambe ngokuthula.

zeza zabancenga; sezibakhiphile zabanxusa ukuba bamuke emzini.

Kwathi bedabula imizi , babanika izinqumo ezanqunywa ngabaphostoli namalunga aseJerusalema ukuba bazigcine.

Kepha abazalwane bamukisa oPawulu noSila masinyane ebusuku ukuba baye eBereya; bona sebefikile khona bangena esinagogeni labaJuda.

Labo-ke babebahle kunabaseThesalonika , balamukela izwi ngenhliziyo yonke, bahlolisisa imibhalo imihla ngemihla ukuba zinjalo yini lezo zinto.

Khona abazalwane bamukisa masinyane uPawulu ukuba aze afike elwandle; kepha oSila noThimothewu basala khona.

wazenza izizwe zonke ngagazi linye ukuba zakhe ebusweni bonke bomhlaba, wamisa izikhathi ezinqunyiweyo nemikhawulo yokuhlala kwazo,

Ngakho lokhu siyinzalo kaNkulunkulu , akufanele ukuba sithi ubuNkulunkulu bufana negolide noma isiliva noma itshe , okuqoshwe ngekhono nangesu lomuntu.

ebavulela, ebachasisela ukuthi kwakumelwe ukuba uKristu ahlupheke , avuke kwabafileyo, ethi futhi: UJesu lo engimshumayela kini unguKristu.

Ngokuba izikhathi zokungazi wazithalalisa uNkulunkulu , kodwa kalokhu usememezela kubantu ukuba bonke ezindaweni zonke baphenduke,

bathi: Lo muntu uphendukisa abantu ukuba bakhonze uNkulunkulu ngokuphambene nomthetho.

kodwa uma kungukuphikisana ngamazwi , nangamagama, nangomthetho wakini, ziboneleni nina; mina angithandi ukuba ngumahluleli walezo zinto.

Kwathi bemncenga ukuba ahlale khona isikhathi esidana, akaze avuma,

yena waqala ukushumayela ngesibindi esinagogeni . Kwathi ukuba bamuzwe o-Akwila noPrisila, bamthatha bamchasisela indlela kaNkulunkulu ngesineke esikhulu.

Esethanda ukudlulela e -Akhaya, abazalwane bal obela abafundi bebayala ukuba bamamukele; esefikile wabasiza kakhulu abakholwayo ngomusa,

wathi: Namamukela yini uMoya oNgcwele mhla nikholwayo na ? Bathi kuye: Qhabo, asizwanga nokuzwa ukuba kukhona uMoya oNgcwele.

Kwathi ukuba sezenzekile lezo zinto , uPawulu wazimisela emoyeni uku ya eJerusalema esedabulile iMakedoniya ne -Akhaya, wathi: Emva kokufika kwami khona ngimelwe ukubona neRoma.

Ngakho akusikho lokhu kuphela ukuba umsebenzi wethu usengozini yokudelelwa, kodwa nethempeli lonkulunkulukazi omkhulu uDiyana liyakuthiwa aliy into yalutho , nobukhulukazi bakhe sebuzakuphela , yena elimkhonzayo lonke i-Asiya nezwe lonke.

Nabanye bababusi base -Asiya, bengabahlobo bakhe , bathumela kuye , bamncenga ukuba angaze angena esigcawini sokubukela.

Kwathi ukuba bezwe ukuthi ungumJuda , bamemeza bonke ngazwi linye kwangathi amahora amabili, bathi: Mkhulu uDiyana wabase-Efesu.

Madoda, bazalwane, kwakumelwe ukuba kugcwaliseke umbhalo uMoya oNgcwele awukhulumayo ngaphambili ngomlomo kaDavide ngoJuda owayengumholi kulabo ababamba uJesu,

kuqalela embhapathizweni kaJohane kwaze kwaba lusuku akhushulwa ngalo kithi, kumelwe ukuba enye kuwo ibe ngufakazi kanye nathi ngokuvuka kwakhe.

ukuba athathe isikhundla sale nkonzo nobuphostoli aphambuka kuso uJuda ukuya endaweni yakhe.

Ngokuba uPawulu wayezimisele ukudlula e -Efesu ngomkhumbi ukuze angalibali isikhath i e -Asiya; ngokuba wayekhawulezela ukuba , uma kungenzeka, abe khona eJerusalema ngosuku lwePhentekoste. UPawulu uvalelisa kwabase-Efesu eMilethu

kuphela ukuba uMoya oNgcwele uyafakaza kimi imizi ngemizi ethi izibopho nezinhlupheko zingihlalele.

Kepha ukuphila angikushayi into yalutho ukuba kube yigugu kimi, kuphela ukuba ngiphelelise ukuhamba kwami nenkonzo engayamukela eNkosini uJesu yokufakaza ngevangeli lomusa kaNkulunkulu.

Ziqapheleni nina nomhlambi wonke anibeke kuwo uMoya oNgcwele ukuba nibe ngababonisi bokwalusa ibandla likaNkulunkulu azizuzele lona ngegazi lakhe.

Kukho konke ngangikhombisa ukuthi kumelwe ukuba nisize ababuthakathaka ngokusebenza okunje , nikhumbule futhi amazwi eNkosi uJesu ukuba yena wathi: Kubusisekile ukupha kunokwamukela.

Kwathi ngosuku lokuqala lweviki , sesibuthene ukuba sihlephule isinkwa , uPawulu washumayela kubo ebezakumuka ngangomuso, welula amazwi akhe kwaze kwaba phakathi kobusuku.

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

wathathe wona, uzihlambulule kanye nawo, uwakhokhele ukuba aphucule ikhanda; khona bazakwazi bonke ukuthi akukho lutho lwalokho abakubikelwe ngawe, kepha ukuthi nawe uhamba ulonda umthetho.

Khona induna yenkulungwane yasondela , yamthatha, yayala ukuba aboshwe ngamaketanga amabili, yabuza ukuthi ungubani nokuthi wenzeni.

Kepha abanye esixukwini bam emeza okunye, abanye okunye; yathi ukuba ingenakulazi iqiniso ngenxa yomsindo, yayala ukuba ayiswe ekamu.

Esefikile esikhwelweni , kwenzeka ukuba athwalwe ngamabutho ngenxa yokukhandana kwesixuku;

Esezakungeniswa ekamu uPawulu wathi enduneni yenkulungwane : Ngivunyelwe ukuba ngisho utho na? Yona yathi: Uyasazi isiGreki na?

Ngathi: Ngizakwenzani, Nkosi, na? INkosi yayisithi kimi : S ukuma, uye eDamaseku, uzakutshelwa khona konke okumiselweyo ukuba ukwenze.

Kepha bamlalela kwaze kwaba kulelo zw i; base bephakamisa izwi labo , bethi: Msuseni onje emhlabeni, ngokuba akufanele ukuba aphile.

induna yenkulungwane yayala ukuba angeniswe ekamu , yathi akahlolwe ngenduku, ukuze iqonde ukuthi kungasiphi isici bememeza kanje ngaye.

Kwathi ngangomuso ifuna ukwazi iqiniso lalokho amangalelwe ngakho ngabaJuda, yamkhulula, yayala ukuba abapristi abakhulu nomphakathi wonke ubuthane, yamehlisa uPawulu phambi kwabo.

njengokuba nompristi omkhulu ufakaza ngami namalunga onke ; ngamukela kubo izincwadi ezilotshelwe abazalwane , ngaya eDamaseku ukuba nababe khona lapho ngibayise eJerusalema beboshiwe, ukuze bajeziswe.

Kwathi sekuvele isiyaluyalu esikhulu, induna yenkulungwane yesaba ukuba uPawulu angadwengulwa yibo, yayala impi ukuba yehle imhlwithe phakathi kwabo, imyise ekamu.

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

Yayisiyithatha-ke, yayiyisa enduneni yenkulungwane , yathi: Isiboshwa uPawulu singibizile , sacela ukuba ngilethe le nsizwa kuwe , inento ezakukutshela yona.

Kepha umpristi omkhulu u -Ananiya wayala ababemi khona ukuba bamshaye umlomo.

Yathi: AbaJuda bavumelene ukucela kuwe ukuba wehlisele uPawulu emphakathini ngomuso ngokungathi bazakuhlolisisa indaba yakhe.

Ngakho-ke wena ungabavumeli , ngokuba kubona amqamekele amadoda angaphezu kwamashumi amane azilokotheleyo ukuba angadli , angaphuzi, engakambulali; manje-ke sebelungele bebheke isithembiso sakho.

Khona induna yenkulungwane yayisiyimukisa insizwa , isiyiyalile ukuba ingatsheli muntu ukuthi imbikele lokho. Ukuyiswa kukaPawulu eKesariya

Le ndoda ibibanjwe ngabaJuda; ibisizakubulawa yibo, ngafika namabutho, ngayophula sengizwile ukuba ingumRoma.

Khona uPawulu wathi kuye : UNkulunkulu uzakukushaya wena ludonga olucakiweyo; uhlalele ukungahlulela ngokomthetho, kodwa ngokuphambene nomthetho uyala ukuba ngishaywe na?

Sekudaluliwe kimi ukuthi kukhona icebo ngaleyo ndoda , ngase ngiyithumela kuwe masinyane , ngibayalile nabayimangalelayo ukuba bakhulume ngayo phambi kwakho.

Kepha ngangomuso ashiya izinkweli ukuba zihambe naye ; wona abuyela ekamu;

wathi: Ngiyakuyizwa kahle indaba yakho, nxa sebefikile abakumangalelayo. Wayala ukuba alondwe enqabeni kaHerode.

Umbusi esemqhwebile ukuba akhulume , uPawulu waphendula wathi : Lokhu ngiyazi ukuthi sekuyiminyaka eminingi ungumahluleli kulesi sizw e, ngiyaziphendulela ngesibindi;

Kulokhu nami ngiyazama ukuba njalo ngibe nonembeza ongenacala phambi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu.

wayala induna yekhulu ukuba agcinwe , kepha abe nenkululeko , kunganqatshelwa muntu wakubo ukumkhonza. UPawulu ushumayela kuFeliksi ngoKristu

Kepha ukuba ngingakubambezeli, ngiyakuncenga ukuba ngobumnene bakho usizwe ngokufushane.

kwathi ngiseJerusalema , abapristi abakhulu namalunga abaJuda babika ngaye becela ukuba ilahlwe;

Ngakho sebebuthene lapha , angilibalanga; ngangomuso ngahlala esihlalweni sokwahlulela, ngayala ukuba leyo ndoda ilethwe;

Kuthe mina ngisakhohliwe ukuthi leyo n daba ngizakuyihlola kanjani , ngathi angathanda yini ukuya eJerusalema ukuba ahlulelwe khona ngalezo zinto.

Kepha uPawulu eselidlulisile wacela ukuba agcinwe lize lithethwe yinkosi enkulu, ngayala ukuba agcinwe ngize ngimthumele kuKesari.

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

UFestu wathi : Nkosi, Agripha, nani nonke nina madoda enikhona lapha kanye nathi , niyambona lona oluze ngaye kimi lonke uquqaba lwabaJuda eJerusalema nalapha, lumemeza luthi akafanele ukuba abe esaphila.

Kepha mina ngabona ukuthi akenzanga lutho olufa nele ukuba afe , kodwa ngenxa yokudlulisela kwakhe kuKesari ngazinqumela ukumthuma.

bazicelela umusa ngaye wokuba ambizele eJerusalema , becebile ukumqamekela ukuba bambulale endleleni.

Kwathi esehlale nabo izinsuku ezingaphezu kweziyisishiyagalombili nokuba eziyishumi, wehlela eKesariya ; ngangomuso wahlala esihlalweni sokwahlulela, wayala ukuba uPawulu alethwe.

Khona u -Agripha wathi kuPawulu : Uvunyelwe ukuba uzikhulumele . UPawulu wayeselula isandla, waziphendulela wathi:

Nasemasinagogeni onke kaningi ngabajezisa ngibacindezela ukuba bahlambalaze; ngahlanya kakhulu ngabo, ngibazingela kwaze kwaba semizini yabezizwe.

Kepha sukuma , ume ngezinyawo z akho; ngokuba ngibonakele kuwe ngalokho ukuba ngikumise ube yisikhonzi nofakazi walokhu kungibona kwakho nowalokhu engizakuzibonakalisa kuwe ngakho,

ukuvula amehlo abo ukuba basuke ebumnyameni , baphendukele ekukhanyeni, basuke emandleni kaSathane , baphendukele kuNkulunkulu , ukuze bamukeliswe ukuthethelelwa kwezono nesabelo phakathi kwabangcwelisiweyo ngokukholwa kimi.

kodwa ngamemezela kuqala kwabaseDamaseku nakwabaseJerusalema , nakulo lonke izwe laseJudiya nakwabezizwe ukuba baphenduke, baguqukele kuNkulunkulu, benze imisebenzi efanele ukuphenduka.

UPawulu wayesethi: Bengingafisa kuNkulunkulu ukuba , noma kukancane noma kukakhulu, kungabi wena wedwa kodwa bonke abangizwayo namuhla babe njengami, ngaphandle kwalezi zibopho.

ikakhulu lokhu uyisazi sawo onke amasiko nokuphikisana kwabaJuda ; ngalokho ngiyakunxusa ukuba ungilalele ngokubekezela.

Kwathi sekunqunyiwe ukuba siye e -Italiya ngomkhumbi, banikela uPawulu nezinye iziboshwa ezithile enduneni yekhulu , igama layo linguJuliyu , eyebutho likaKesari.

Njengokuba itheku lalingalungile ukuhlala khona ebusika , iningi labo laluleka ukuba kusukwe khona , mhlawumbe kwenzeke ukuba bafinyelele eFeniksi, itheku lase Krethe elibheke entshonalanga ya seningizimu nasentshonalanga yasenyakatho, bahlale khona ebusika.

Kuthe ukuba sibhengulwe kakhulu yisiphepho , ngangomuso bachitha umthwalo;

Kepha manje senginiluleka ukuba nime isibindi , ngokuba akuyikufa muntu kini, umkhumbi kuphela.

Kwathi ukuba kufike ubusuku beshumi nane sisazulazuliswa elwandle lwase-Adriya phakathi kobusuku, abomkhumbi bacabanga ukuthi bayasondela ezweni elithile.

besaba ukuthi mhlawumbe singashayeka ezindaweni ezinamadwala , baphonsa amahange amane ngasemuva, bafisa ukuba kuse.

Ngangomuso safika eSidoni ; uJuliyu wamphatha kahle uPawulu , wamvumela ukuba aye kubahlobo bakhe, ahlunyelelwe.

Kwathi sekuzakusa , uPawulu wabancenga bonke ukuba badle , wathi: Namuhla kulusuku lweshumi nane nilindile, nihlezi nizila, ningadli lutho.

Ngalokho ngiyanincenga ukuba nidle , ngokuba lokhu kungokokusinda kwenu; akuyikulahleka unwele lwekhanda nakoyedwa phakathi kwenu.

Sekusile, abalazanga izwe , kepha babona itheku elithile elinesihlabathi abanquma ukuba baqhubele kulo umkhumbi, uma kungenzeka.

kepha induna yekhulu ithanda ukusindisa uPawulu yawavimbela enhlosweni yawo, yayala ukuba labo abakwazi ukuhlamba baziphonse kuqala emanzini, bafike emhlabathini,

nabaseleyo bafike , abanye ngamapulangwe , abanye ngezinye izinto zomkhumbi. Kanjalo-ke kwenzeka ukuba bonke baphumele emhlabathini besindile.

Safumana khona abazalwane , sancengwa ukuba sihlale nabo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; kanjalo safika eRoma.

kepha abaJuda bekuphikisa , ngacindezelwa ukuba ngilidlulisele kuKesari , kungesikho ukuthi ngisimangalela isizwe sakithi ngalutho.

Ngakho ngaleso sizathu nginibizele lapha ukuba nginibone , ngikhulume nani; ngokuba ngenxa yethemba lika-Israyeli ngiboshiwe ngaleli ketanga.

kwathi ukuba bangezwani bodwa , bamuka, uPawulu esekhuluma izwi labalinye lokuthi: Wakhuluma kahle uMoy a oNgcwele ngo -Isaya umprofethi koyihlo

Abantu bakhona sebebona isilwane silenga esandleni sakhe , bakhuluma bodwa, bathi: Ngempela lo muntu ungumbulali othi noma esindile elwandle ukuLunga akuvumi ukuba aphile.

lowo uNkulunkulu wamvusa ethukulula iminjunju yokufa , lokhu kwakungenakwenzeka ukuba abanjwe yikho.

Yini, pho, ukuba sonke ngabanye sizwe ngolimi lwakithi esazalwa nalo na?

Kepha base bemazi ukuba nguyena owayehlalela ukuphiwa ngaseMnyango Omuhle wethempeli , behlelwa ngukwesaba nokumangala ngokwenzakele kuye. UPetru ukhuluma ngoKristu ukuthi uyiNkosi yokuphila

Khona uPetru ebona lokho wathatha wathi kubantu: Madoda akwa-Israyeli, nimangalelani ngalona, nisigqolozelelani ngokungathi simenze ukuba ahambe ngawethu amandla nangokwethu ukukholwa na?

kepha nina namphika oNgcwele noLungileyo, nacela ukuba niphiwe ongumbulali,

Ngalokhu phendukani, niguquke ukuba kuhlangulwe izono zenu,

Kwase kulethwa indoda ethile eyisishosha kwasesiswini sikanina , ababeyibeka imihla ngemihla ngasemnyango wet hempeli othiwa Omuhle ukuba icele ukwabelwa izipho kwabangenayo ethempelini.

okumelwe ukuba izulu limamukele , kuze kube yizikhathi zokubuyiselwa kwakho konke uNkulunkulu akhuluma ngakho ngomlomo wabaprofethi bakhe abangcwele, kusukela kwaphakade.

Kwathi ukuba abone oPetru noJohane bezakungena ethempelini , wacela ukwabelwa isipho.

Wayesebabheka ethemba ukuba amukele utho kubo.

Kodwa sebebayalile ukuba baphume emphakathini balulekana bodwa,

Kepha oPetru noJohane baphendula , bathi kubo : Nqumani nina ukuba kulungile yini ebusweni bukaNkulunkulu ukulalela nina kunoNkulunkulu,

owasho ngoMoya oNgcwele ngomlomo kababa uDavide inceku yakho ukuthi: Kungani ukuba abezizwe baxokozele, nabantu bacebe okuyize, na?

ukuzakukwenza lokho okumiswe ngaphambili yisandla necebo lakho ukuba kwenzeke.

Manje-ke, Nkosi, bheka ukuso ngela kwabo , unike izinceku zakho ukuba zikhulume izwi lakho ngaso sonke isibindi

Kwathi sebezwile , bangena ethempelini ekuthatheni kokusa , bafundisa. Kepha kwafika umpristi omkhulu nababe naye , babizela ndawonye umphakathi nezigele zonke zabantwana bakwa -Israyeli, bathumela en dlini yeziboshwa ukuba balethwe.

Kwathi ukuba induna yethempeli nabapristi abakhulu bezwe lawo mazwi , basambatheka ngawo ngokuthi kungaba yini lokho na?

wathi: Saniyala nokuniyala ukuba ningafundisi ngalelo gama; bhekani, senigcwalise iJerusalema ngesifundiso senu, nihlose ukwehlisela igazi lalowo muntu phezu kwethu.

Wayesethi uPetru : Ananiya, kungani ukuba uSathane agcwalise inhliziyo yakho, uqambe amanga kuMoya oNgcwele , ugodle inxenye yemali yezwe , na?

lowo uNkulunkulu wamphakamisa ngesoku nene sakhe abe yiNkosi noMsindisi ukuba anike u-Israyeli ukuphenduka nokuthethelelwa kwezono.

Kwase kusukuma omunye emphakathini , umFarisi ogama lakhe linguGamaliyeli, isazimthetho esitusekayo esizweni sonke , wayala ukuba abantu bakhishwe isikhashana;

Emva kwalowo kwasuka uJuda waseGalile ezinsukwini zokubhalwa ; wahlubukisa abantu ukuba bamlandele ; nalowo wabhubha , nabo bonke abamlalelayo bahlakazeka.

UPetru wayesethatha ethi : Ngitshele ukuba izwe nilithengise ngokungaka na? Wathi: Yebo, ngokungaka.

Kepha uPetru wathi kuye : Kungani ukuba nivume lene ngokulinga uMoya weNkosi na? Bheka, izinyawo zabambele indoda yakho zisemnyango , nawe bazakukukhiphela phandle.

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

eselahliwe, indodakazi kaFaro yamthola , yazondlela yena ukuba abe yindodana yayo.

Kuthe eseneminyaka engamashumi amane ezelwe , kwafika enhliziyweni yakhe ukuba abamele abafowabo, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

UMose ekubona wamangala ngalowo mbono ; esasondela ukuba abhekisise, kwafika izwi leNkosi, lathi:

Ngikubonile nokukubona ukuhlushwa kwesizwe sami esiseGibithe, ngizwile ukububula kwaso ; sengehlile ukuba ngibakhiphe . Woza kalokhu, ngizakukuthumela eGibithe.

bathi ku-Aroni: S enzele onkulunkulu abazakuhamba phambi kwethu ; ngokuba uMose lowo owasikhipha ezweni laseGibithe , asazi ukuba wehlelwe yini.

Kepha uNkulunkulu wabafulathela, wabadedela ukuba bakhonze ibandla lezulu, njengokuba kulotshiwe encwadini yabaprofethi ukuthi : Naningilethela iminikelo nemihlatshel o iminyaka engamashumi amane ehlane nina ndlu ka-Israyeli na?

Qha, nathatha itende likaMolok i nenkanyezi kankulunkulu uRemfani , imifanekiso enayenza ukuba nikhuleke kuyo. Ngiyakunimukisela ngaphambili kweBabiloni.

Kwakukhona itende lobufakazi kobaba ehlane njengalokho akuyalayo yena owakhuluma noMose ukuba alenze ngomfanekiso abewubonile;

Kepha bathi ukuba bakholwe nguFiliphu eshumayela ivangeli ngombuso kaNkulunkulu nangegama likaJesu Kristu , babhapathizwa abesilisa nabesifazane.

Kwathi ukuba abaphostoli baseJerusalema bezwe ukuthi iSamariya lilamukele izwi likaNkulunkulu, bathumela kubo oPetru noJohane;

sebehlele khona babakhulekela ukuba bamukele uMoya oNgcwele,

Yona yathi: Ngingakwazi kanjani, uma kungekho ongiholayo na? Yamnxusa uFiliphu ukuba akhwele ahlale nayo.

Kwathi besahamba endleleni , bafika emanzini . Umthenwa wathi : Bheka, nanka amanzi; kwalani ukuba ngibhapathizwe na?

Wayala ukuba inqola ime. Behlela emanzini bobabili, uFiliphu nomthenwa; wambhapathiza.

ubonile indoda , igama layo lingu -Ananiya, ingena, ibeka izandla phezu kwakhe ukuba abone.

Khona wahamba u -Ananiya, wangena endlini , wabeka izandla phezu kwakhe, wathi: Sawulu umzalwane , iNkosi uJesu eyabonakala kuwe endleleni oze ngayo , ingithumile ukuba ubuye ubone , ugcwaliswe ngoMoya oNgcwele.

Kepha bamangala bonke abezwayo , bathi: Lo asiye yini owachitha eJerusalema abakhuleka kulelo gama, nalapha uze ngalokhu ukuba abaqhube beboshiwe kubapristi abakhulu na?

Kepha icebo labo laziwa nguSawulu. Babemhlalela nasemasangweni imini nobusuku ukuba bambulale.

Ngokuba mhlawumbe kungenxa yalokho ukuba ahlukaniswe nawe isikhashana, ukuze abe ngowakho kuze kube phakade,

mina Pawulu ngikuloba ngesandla sami, ngiyakukukhokha ukuba ngingaze ngisho kuwe ukuthi nawe unecala kimi elinguwe uqobo.

Ngakushiya eKrethe ngenxa yalokhu ukuba uhlele okusaseleyo , umise amalunga emizini yonke, njengokuba ngakuyala,

Ngokuba umbonisi umelwe ukuba abe ngongasolekiyo njengomphathimuzi kaNkulunkulu, ongaziqhenyi, ongesiso isififane , ongesiso isiphuzi , ongesiso isilwi, ongesiye ohahela inzuzo embi,

uyasifundisa ukuba sidele ukungakholwa nezinkanuko zezwe , sihambe ngokuqonda, nangokulunga, nangokumesaba uNkulunkulu kulesi sikhathi samanje,

babe ngabaqondileyo, abamhlophe, abaphatha kahle amakhaya, abamnene, abathobela amadoda abo ukuba izwi likaNkulunkulu lingahlanjalazwa.

Ngokunjalo ubayale abesilisa abasha ukuba babe ngabaqondileyo,

Yala izinceku ukuba zithobele amakhosi azo , zikholeke ezintweni zonke , zingaphiki nkani,

Bakhumbuze ukuba bathobele ababusi neziphathimandla , balalele, balungele imisebenzi yonke emihle,

Lithembekile leli zwi. Ngithanda ukuba uqinise impela ngalezo zinto, ukuze abakholwa nguNkulunkulu bakhuthalele ukwenza imisebenzi emihle . Lezo zinto zinhle, zinosizo kubantu;

ngokuba akunakwenzeka ukuba igazi lezinkunzi nelezimbuzi lisuse izono.

Ngase ngithi : Bheka, ngiyeza -- emqulwini wencwadi kulotshiwe ngami -- ukuba ngiyenze, Nkulunkulu, intando yakho.

kepha manje balangazelela elihle kunalelo , okungukuthi elasezulwini . Ngalokho uNkulunkulu akanamahloni ngabo ukuba abizwe ngokuthi uNkulunkulu wabo, ngokuba ubalungisele umuzi.

Ngokukholwa u -Abrahama walalela ebizwa ukuba aphume aye endaweni abezakuyamukeliswa ibe yifa lakhe; waphuma engazi lapho eya khona.

nenzele izinyawo zenu izindlela eziqondileyo ukuba okuqhugayo kungaphinyizeki, kepha kunalokho kuphulukiswe.

nasekukhaleni kwecilongo, nasekuzwakaleni kwamazwi, abathe ukukuzwa, bancenga ukuba kungabe kusakhulunywa izwi kubo,

Ngiyaniyala kakhulu ukuba nenze lokho , ukuze ngibuyiselwe kini masinyane.

Ningadukiswa yizifundiso eziyizinhlobonhlobo nezingaziwayo ; ngokuba kuhle ukuba inhliziyo iqiniswe ngomusa , kungabi ngokudla , abangasizakalanga ngakho abahamba ngakho.

Ngokuba kwakumfanele yena , okukhona konke ngenxa yakhe nokukhona konke ngaye , ukuba, lapho eyisa amadodana amaningi enkazimulweni , amphelelise ngezinhlupheko yena oyinkosi yokusindiswa kwabo.

Ngakho-ke kwamfanela ukuba abe njengabafowabo kukho konke , ukuze abe ngumpristi omkhulu ohawukelayo nothembekayo kokukaNkulunkulu , kube yinhlawulo yezono zabantu.

Kepha omunye ufakazile endaweni ethile ngokuthi : Umuntu uyini ukuba umkhumbule, noma indodana yomuntu ukuba uyinake, na?

Xwayani, bazalwane, ukuba nakoyedwa kini kungabikho n hliziyo embi , engakholwayo, emhlubukisa kuNkulunkulu ophilayo;

Ngakho-ke masesabe ukuba , kuthi kusekhona isithembiso sokungena ekuphumuleni kwakhe, kungabikho noyedwa kini obonakala esele emuva.

Ngakho-ke masisondele ngesibindi esihlalweni somusa ukuba samukeliswe isihawu, sifumane umusa wokusiza ngesikhathi esifaneleyo.

Ngokuba noma benifanele ukuba nibe ngabafundisi, uma kuya ngesikhathi, nisadinga futhi ukuba kube khona onifundisa iziqalo zezifundiso zamazwi kaNkulunkulu; senaba ngabadinga ubisi, kungesikho ukudla okuqinileyo.

ngenxa yabo kufanele ukuba, njengalokhu enikela ngezono zabantu, anikele kanjalo nangezakhe.

Ngokuba uNkulunkulu kasiye ongalungile ukuba akhohlwe umsebenzi wenu nothando enalubonakalisa ngakulo igama lakhe , lokhu nibakhonzile abangcwele, nisabakhonza. Mabafane nawokhokho ababambelela esithenjisweni

Kepha sinxanela ukuba yilowo nalowo kini abonakalise lokho kukhuthalela, lize liphelele ithemba kuze kube sekupheleni,

ukuba ningabi buthuntu , kodwa nibaling ise labo abadla ifa lesithembiso ngokukholwa nangokubekezela.

Ngokuba akunakwenzeka ukuba labo asebake bakhanyiswa banambitha isiphiwo sasezulwini, benziwa abahlanganyeli kuMoya oNgcwele,

babuye bahlubuka -- akunakwenzeka ukuba babuye bavuswe , baphenduke, lokhu sebezibethelela iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, bayithela ngehlazo obala.

Uma-ke kwakukhona ukuphelela ngobupristi bukaLevi ngokuba isizwe samiselwa bona ngomthetho -- kwakusaswelekelani ukuba kuvele omunye umpristi ngokukaMelkisedeki engabizwa ngokokuma kuka-Aroni na?

Ngokuba uma ubupristi buguquliwe , kuyadingeka ukuba kuguqulwe nomthetho.

Kulabo-ke baba baningi ababekwa babe ngabapristi , ngokuba bathiyeka ngenxa yokufa ukuba baqhube njalo;

Ngokuba yilowo nalowo mpristi omkhulu umiselwa ukunikela ngeminikelo nemihlatshelo; ngakho-ke kuyadingeka ukuba naye lo abe nakho okuthile kokunikela.

Ngokuba lapho kukhona itestamente , kufuneka ukuba kubikwe ukufa kowalenzayo;

Njalo-ke kwakudingekile ukuba imifanekiso yokusezulwini ihlanzwe ngalokho, kepha okusezulwini uqobo lwakho kuhlanzwe ngeminikelo emihle kunalena.

Ngokuba uKristu kangenanga endaweni engcwele eyenziwe ngezandla , engumfanekiso waleyo okuyiyo ngempela , kepha wangena ezulwini uqobo ukuba manje abonakale ebusweni bukaNkulunkulu ngenxa yethu,

kungesikho futhi ukuba azinikele kaningi , njengalokhu umpristi omkhulu engena endaweni engcwele iminyaka ngeminyaka , ephethe igazi elingesilo elakhe;

uma kwakunjalo wayemelwe ukuhlupheka kaningi selokhu kwasekelwa izwe; kodwa kalokhu ubonakalisiwe kanye ekupheleni kwezikhathi ukuba asuse izono ngokuzinikela kwakhe.

Futhi njengalokhu kumiselwe abantu ukuba bafe kanye, emva k walokhu ukwahlulelwa,

kunjalo noKristu , esenikelwe kanye ukuba athwale izono zabaningi , uyakubonakala ngokwesibili ngaphandle kwesono kulabo abamlindeleyo , kube ngukusindiswa.

oyisibambiso sefa lethu , kube ngukuhlengwa kokungokwakhe , ukuze kutuswe inkazimulo yakhe. UPawulu ucelela ibandla ukuba lazi ubukhosi bukaKristu

njengalokho asikhethela kuye ngothando ngaphambi kokusekelwa kwezwe ukuba sibe ngcwele, singabi nakusolwa phambi kwakhe;

wasimisela ngaphambili ukuba sibe ngabantwana kuye ngoJesu Kristu , njengalokho kwaba kuhle kuye ngentando yakhe,

Ngokuba singumsebenzi wakhe kuKristu Jesu, sidalelwe imisebenzi emihle ayilungisela ngaphambili uNkulunkulu ukuba sihambe kuyo.

ngenyama yakhe ewenzile ize umthetho wemiyalo esezimisweni ukuba adale kuyena labo ababili babe muntu munye omusha, enze ukuthula,

enze futhi ukuba bobabili babuyisane noNkulunkulu em zimbeni munye ngesiphambano, esebulele ubutha ngakho.

okukuyo nani, nakhiwe kanye nabanye , ukuba nibe yindlu kaNkulunkulu ngoMoya.

Ngalokho ngiyacela ukuba ningadangali ngezinhlupheko zami ngenxa yenu, okuludumo lwenu. UPawulu ukhulekela ibandla ukuba likhule ekwazini uthando lukaNkulunkulu

ukuba ngokwengcebo yenkazimulo yakhe aninike ukuqiniseka emandleni ngoMoya wakhe kumuntu ongaphakathi;

Nguyena futhi owanika abanye ukuba babe ngabaphostoli , abanye abaprofethi, abanye abavangeli, abanye abelusi nabafundisi,

ukuba nikhumule umuntu o mdala ongowenkambo yokuqala , owonakala ngezinkanuko zenkohliso,

ukuba alingcwelise, alihlambulule ngesigezo samanzi ngezwi,

Ngakho hlomani izikhali zonke zikaNkulunkulu ukuba nibe namandla okuzabalaza ngosuku olubi, nalapho senifeze konke, nime.

ninginxusele nami ukuba ngiphiwe izwi , nxa ngivula umlomo wami, ngize ngiyishumayele ngesibindi imfihlakalo yevangeli;

engiyisithunywa ngalo esiboshiwe ngamaketanga , ukuze ngikhulume ngesibindi ngalo, njengokuba kufanele ukuba ngikhulume. Isigcino

Kepha ukuba nani nazi okuqondene nami nalokhu e ngikwenzayo, uyakunazisa konke uThikhiku , umzalwane othandekayo nesikhonzi esikholekileyo eNkosini,

engamthumela kini ngakho lokho ukuba nazi izindaba zethu , nokuba aduduze izinhliziyo zenu.

Kepha ngithanda ukuba nazi , bazalwane, ukuthi lokho okwangehlelayo kugcine kwaveza ukuqhubeka kwevangeli,

ukuze ukuzibonga kwenu ngami kuvame kuKristu Jesu ngokufika kwami futhi kini. UPawulu uyabayala ukuba bahambe ngokwevangeli

njengalokhu kufanele ukuba ngibe nomqondo onjalo ngani nonke , njengokuba nginithwele enhliziyweni yami , lokhu ekuboshweni kwami nasekulivikeleni nasekuliqiniseni ivangeli nina nonke nihlanganyele nami emseni.

Ngikhulekela lokhu ukuba uthando lwenu luvame kakhulu njalo ekwazini nasekuqondeni konke,

gcwalisani ukuthokoza kwami ukuba nibe nomqondo munye , ninothando lunye, nibe nhliziyonye, niqonde into inye;

Kodwa ngibone ukuthi kudingekile ukuba ngithume kinina u-Ephafrodithu, umzalwane nesisebenzi nebutho kanye nami , nesithunywa senu , isikhonzi ekusweleni kwami,

kungesikho ukuthi sengibambile nokuthi sengiphelelisiwe , kepha ngijonga ukuba kumbe ngingakubamba yini lokho nami engabanjelwa khona nguKristu Jesu.

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

Akusikho ukuthi ngisho maqondana nokuswela , ngokuba mina ngifundile ukuba nganeliswe noma ngihlezi kanjani.

Ngiyakwazi ukuba phansi , ngiyakwazi nokubusa ; kukho konke nasezintweni zonke ngifundisiwe : ukusutha, nokulamba, nokubusa, nokuswela.

Ngiyamyala u-Evodiya, ngiyamyala noSintike ukuba babe nokuqonda kunye eNkosini.

Ngokuba ngiyanazisa , bazalwane, ukuba ivangeli elishunyayelwe yimina alisilo elingokwabantu.

ukuba ayambule i Ndodana yakhe kimi , ukuze ngiyishumayele phakathi kwabezizwe, khona lapho angibuzananga nenyama negazi,

elingesilo elinye , kuphela ukuba bakhona abanididayo , bethanda ukuphendukezela ivangeli likaKristu.

kuphela ukuba sikhumbule abampofu , eyonanto nami ebengikhuthalele ukuyenza. UPawulu walwela ivangeli emelene noPetru e-Antiyokiya

Ngokuba bengakafiki abanye ababevela kuJakobe , wayedla nabezizwe ; kepha kuthe ukuba kufike bona , wamonyuka, wazahlukanisa nabo , esaba abokusoka.

Kepha kuthe sengibonile ukuthi kabahambisi ngokweqiniso levangeli , ngathi kuKhefase phambi kwabo bonke : Uma wena ongumJuda uhamba ngokwabezizwe, ungahambi ngokwabaJuda , ubaphoqa kanjani abezizwe ukuba bahambe ngokwabaJuda na?

kepha lokhu sazi ukuthi umuntu akalungisiswa ngemisebenzi yomthetho , kuphela ngokukholwa nguKristu Jesu , nathi sakholwa nguKristu Jesu ukuba silungisiswe ngokukholwa nguKristu kungengemisebenzi yomthetho; ngokuba ngemisebenzi yomthetho akuyikulungisiswa nyama.

Kepha ngisho noThithu owayenami engumGreki kaphoqwanga ukuba asoke.

ngokuba yena owanika uPetru amandla ukuba abe ngumphostoli wabasokayo wanginika nami amandla ukuba ngibe ngumphostoli wabezizwe,

bathi ukubona umusa engiwuphiweyo , oJakobe noKhefase noJohane , ababaziswa ngokuthi bayizinsika , banika mina noBarnaba isandla sokunene sokuhlangana ukuba thina siye kwabezizwe, kepha bona baye kwabasokayo,

Ngokuba bonke abemisebenzi yomthetho baphansi kwesiqalekiso, ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi : Baqalekisiwe bonke abangemi njalo kukho konke okulotshiweyo encwadini yomthetho ukuba bakwenze.

ukuba isibusiso sika-Abrahama ngoKristu Jesu sifike kubo abezizwe, ukuze samukeliswe isithembiso sikaMoya ngokukholwa. Isithembiso asichithwa ngumthetho

kepha niyazi ukuthi kwaba ngenxa yobuthakathaka benyama ukuba ngishumayele ivangeli kini okokuqala,

Ngitsheleni nina enithanda ukuba phansi komthetho , aniwuzwa yini umthetho na?

ukuze ihlenge abaphansi komthetho ukuba samukele ukuma kwamadodana.

kepha manje , njengalokhu senimazi uNkulunkulu , yebo, phezu kwalokho, niyaziwa nguNkulunkulu, kukanjani ukuba nibuyele ezifundisweni zobungane ezilulana nezingelutho , enithanda ukuphinda nibe yizigqila zazo na?

UKristu wasikhulula ukuba sibe nenkululeko ; ngakho-ke yimani niqine , ningabe nisaboshelwa ejokeni lobugqila.

Kepha uma nilumana, nidlana, qaphelani ukuba ningaqedani.

Benigijima kahle; pho, nithiywe ngubani ukuba ningalaleli iqiniso na?

Bonke abafuna ukubukeka enyameni , yibona abaniphoqela ukusoka , kuphela ukuba bangayikuzingelwa ngenxa yesiphambano sikaKristu.

Ngokuba ngisho bona abasokayo nabo kabawugcini umthetho , kodwa bathanda ukuba nisoke, ukuze bazibonge ngenyama yenu.

ngokuba kwaba kuhle kuye ukuba ukugcwala konke kuhlale kuyo

nokho manje usebuyisene nani emzimbeni wenyama yayo ngokufa ukuba animise ningcwele, ningenasisihla nacala phambi kwakhe,

engenziwa isikhonzi salo ngokwesimiso sikaNkulunkulu enganikwa sona maqondana nani ukuba ligcwaliswe izwi likaNkulunkulu,

Ngalokho nathi , kusukela osukwini esezwa ngalo , asiyeki ukunikhulekela nokuninxusela ukuba nigcwaliswe ngokwazi intando yakhe ngokuhlakanipha konke nokuqonda okungomoya,

Ngokuba ngiyathanda ukuba nazi ukuthi kukhulu kangaka nani ukulwa enginakho ngenxa yenu nabaseLawodikeya nabo bonke abangabonanga ubuso bami ngamehlo,

Uma nifile kanye noKristu nakhululwa ezifundisweni zokucathula kwezwe, yini ukuba okungathi nisaphila ngokwezwe nithobele izifundiso zokuthi:

Boyise, ningabathukuthelisi abantwana benu ukuba bangadangali.

Nxa le ncwadi isifundiwe kini , bhekani ukuba ifundwe nasebandleni labaseLawodikeya; nani niyifunde leyo evela eLawodikeya.

Nathi nisikhulekele, ukuze uNkulunkulu asivulele umnyango wezwi ukuba sikhulume imfihlakalo kaKristu engiboshwe ngenxa yayo,

engimthumile kini ngakho lokhu ukuba nazi ukuthi sihlezi kanjani , aduduze izinhliziyo zenu,

kufiphazwe amehlo abo ukuba angaboni, ugobe umhlane wabo njalo. Ngokungakholwa kuka-Israyeli insindiso yafika kwabezizwe

Ngakho ngithi : Bakhubeka ukuba bawe na ? Qha nakanye ; kepha ngesiphambeko sabo insindiso ifikile kwabezizwe ukubavusela umhawu.

ukuba mhlawumbe ngingabavusela umhawu abenyama yami , ngisindise abanye kubo.

Uzakuthi-ke wena: Amagatsha aphulwa ukuba mina ngifakelwe.

UNkulunkulu akasilahlanga isizwe sakhe ayesazi ngaphambili. Kumbe anazi yini ukuthi umbhalo uthini ngo -Eliya ukuba umangalela u -Israyeli kuNkulunkulu ngokuthi:

Ngokuba angithandi , bazalwane, ukuba ningayazi le mfihlakalo , funa nizishaye abahlakaniphileyo , ukuthi inxenye ka -Israyeli yehlelwe ngubulukhuni, kuze kungene abezizwe ngokupheleleyo;

Noma ngubani owaqala ukuyipha ukuba kubuyiselwe kuye na?

Ngakho ngiyani ncenga, bazalwane, ngobubele bukaNkulunkulu ukuba ninikele imizimba yenu ibe ngumnikelo ophilileyo, ongcwele, othandeka kuNkulunkulu, kube ngukukhonza kwenu kokuqonda;

Ngokuba ngenxa yalokho uKristu wafa, wabuye waphila ukuba abe yiNkosi yabafileyo neyabaphilayo.

Ngiyanincenga, bazalwane, ngenxa yeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu nangenxa yothando lukaMoya ukuba nilwe kanye nami ekungikhulekeleni kuNkulunkulu,

ukuba ngize kini ngokuthokoza , ngentando kaNkulunkulu , ngiphumule kanye nani.

Ngiyanincenga, bazalwane, ukuba niqaphele ababanga ukwahlukana nokukhubekisa, bephambene nesifundiso enafundiswa sona nina , nahlukane nabo;

Ngokuba ukulalela kwenu kuzwakele kubo bonke ; ngakho-ke ngiyathokoza ngani, kepha ngithanda ukuba nihlakaniphe kokuhl e, nibe ngabangahlakaniphile kokubi.

njalo emikhul ekweni yami , nginxusa ukuba , uma kungenzeka ngentando kaNkulunkulu, ngiphumelele ukufika kini.

Ngokuba ngilangazelela ukunibona ukuze nginabele isipho esithile somusa sokomoya ukuba niqiniswe,

Angithandi, bazalwane, ukuba ningazi ukuthi ngazimisela kaningi ukuza kini, kepha ngathiyeka kuze kube manje ukuba nakini ngibe nezithelo njengakwezinye izizwe.

Kepha siyazi ukuthi lokhu okushoyo umthetho ukukhuluma kubo abasemthethweni ukuba yonke imilomo ivinjwe , izwe lonke libe necala kuNkulunkulu,

ekubekezeleni kukaNkulunkulu , ukuba kubonakalis we ukulunga kwakhe esikhathini samanje, ukuze yena abe ngolungileyo, abe ngumlungisisi walowo okholwa nguJesu.

Wasamukela isibonakaliso sokusoka , sibe luphawu lokulunga kokukholwa ayenakho engakasoki , ukuba abe nguyise wabo bonke abakholwayo bengasokile, ukuze ukulunga kubalelwe kubona,

Ngalokho kuya ngokukholwa ukuba kube ngokomusa , ukuze isithembiso siqiniseke enzalweni yonke , kungabi kweyomthetho yodwa kodwa nakuleyo engeyokukholwa kuka-Abrahama ongubaba wethu sonke,

Kepha umthetho wangena ukuba isiphambeko sande ; kodwa lapho kwavama khona isono, umusa wavama kakhulukazi,

ngokuba cishe kungenzeki ukuba umuntu afele olungileyo, kodwa mhlawumbe kungase kube khona ongaba nesibindi sokufela omuhle;

Anazi yini ukuthi lowo enizinikela kuye ukuba nibe yizinceku zokumlalela, niyizinceku zakhe enimlal elayo, noma ezesono kube ngukufa noma ezokulalela kube ngukulunga, na?

Ngakho sembelwa naye ngokubhapathizelwa kukho ukufa ukuba njengalokho uKristu wavuswa kwabafileyo ngenkazimulo kaYise , kanjalo nathi sihambe ekuphileni okusha.

Pho, okuhle kwaba ngukufa kimi na ? Qha nakanye ; kepha isono , ukuba sibonakale ukuthi siyisono , sangibangela ukufa ngakho okuhle , ukuze isono ngawo umyalo sibe ngesonayo kakhulu. Ubugqila bomuntu phansi komthetho

Kanjalo nani bazalwane bami , nani naba ngabafileyo maqondana nomthetho ngomzimba kaKristu ukuba nibe ngabomunye , lowo owavuswa kwabafileyo, ukuze sithelele uNkulunkulu izithelo.

kepha kalokhu sikhululiwe emthethweni , sifile maqondana nalokho esasibanjwa yikho ukuba sikhonze emoyeni omusha, kungesegameni elidala. Umthetho nesono

Mina-ke ngake ngahamba ngaphandle komthetho ; kepha kwathi ukuba kufike umyalo, savuka isono,

Ngokuba anamukeliswanga umoya wobugqila ukuba nibuye nesabe, kepha namukeliswa umoya wobuntwana esimemeza ngaye sithi: Aba, Baba!

Yena ongayigodlanga eyakhe iNdodana , kepha wayinikela ngenxa yethu sonke, kungaba kanjani ukuba angasiphi konke kanye nayo na?

Ngokuba umbhalo uthi kuFaro : Ngakuphakhamisela khona lokhu ukuba ngibonakalise amandla ami kuwe nokuba igama lami lishunyayelwe emhlabeni wonke.

ukuba abonakalise ing cebo yenkazimulo yakhe ezitsheni zomusa ayezilungisele inkazimulo ngaphambili,

Ngokuba ngingafisa ukuba m ina uqobo ngibe ngoqalekisiweyo kuKristu ngenxa yabazalwane bami abangabakithi ngokwenyama;

Isela kalizi kungengokweba nokubulala nokubhubhisa ; mina ngize ukuba babe nokuphila, babe nakho kuchichime.

Ngalokho uBaba uyangithand a, ngokuba ngidela ukuphila kwami ukuba ngibuye ngikuthabathe.

AbaJuda base bebuye bethatha amatshe ukuba bamkhande.

nithi ngaye uYise amahlukanisileyo , wamthumela ezweni , ukuba uyahlambalaza, ngokuba ngithe: NgiyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, na?

UJesu washo lo mfanekiso kubo ; kepha bona abezwisisanga ukuba kuyini lokho akukhuluma kubo.

Wakhuluma lokho; emva kwalokho wathi kubo : ULazaru umhlobo wethu ulele, kepha ngiyahamba ukuba ngimvuse ebuthongweni.

AbaJuda ababesendlini naye bemkhuza , bebona uMariya esuka masinyane ephuma, bamlandela, bathi: Uya ethuneni ukuba akhale khona.

Kepha abanye kubo bathi : Lo owavula amehlo empumputhe wayengekwenze yini ukuba yena lo angafi na?

UJesu esekuzwile lokho wathi : Lokhu kugula akusikho okokufa , kodwa kungenxa yenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ukuba iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ikhazimuliswe ngakho.

aniqondi futhi ukuthi kunilungele ukuba umuntu oyedwa afele abantu , isizwe sonke singabhubhi.

Lokho kakushongo ngokwakhe , kodwa engumpristi omkhulu walowo mnyaka waprofetha ukuba uJesu wayezakufa ngenxa yesizwe;

kungengenxa yesizwe kuphela , kepha ukuba abuthele ndawonye abantwana bakaNkulunklu abahlakazekileyo, babe munye.

Kusukela kulolo suku baceba ukuba bambulale.

Lase liseduze iPhasika labaJuda ; abaningi abavela emaphandleni bakhuphukela eJerusalema ngaphambi kwePhasika ukuba bazihlambulule.

Kwakukhona amaGreki athile phakathi kwababenyuka ukuba bakhuleke emkhosini.

ukuba izwi lika -Isaya umprofethi ligcwaliseke , alikhuluma lokuthi: Nkosi, ngubani owakholwa ngukushumayela kwethu na ? Ingalo yeNkosi yambulelwa bani na?

Ngize ezwe ni ngingukukhanya ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yimi angahlali ebumnyameni.

Uma umuntu ezwa amazwi ami engawalondi , lowo angimahluleli mina , ngokuba angizanga ukuba ngahlulele izwe, kepha ukuba ngisindise izwe.

Yini ukuba lawa mafutha engathengiswanga ngawodenariyu abangamakhulu amathathu, kwaphiwa abampofu, na?

Ngakho uJesu wathi : Myeke ukuba awalondolozele usuku lokumbelwa kwami.

Kwathi ngaphambi komkhosi wePhasika uJesu azi ukuthi isikhathi sakhe sesifikile ukuba amuke kuleli zwe , aye kuYise , ebathandile abakhe abasezweni wabathanda kwaze kwaba sekupheleni.

Ngokuba ngininikile isibonelo ukuba nenze nani njengokuba ngenzile kini.

Kusukela manje ngiyanitshela kungakenzeki ukuba , nxa sekwenzeka , nikholwe ukuthi nginguye.

Sekudliwa, uSathane esekufake enhliziyweni kaJuda Iskariyothe kaSimoni ukuba amkhaphele,

Noma yini eniyakukucela egameni lami ngiyakukwenza ukuba uBaba akhazimuliswe eNdodaneni.

Ngalolo suku niyakukwazi nina ukuba ngikuBaba , nani nikimi , nami ngikini.

UJuda, ongesiye u -Iskariyothe, wathi kuye : Nkosi, kwenziwa yini ukuba uyakuzibonakalisa kithina, ungazibonakalisi kulo izwe, na?

Nanxa ngiya nginilungisela indawo , ngobuye ngize , nginibuyisele kimi ukuba lapho ngikhona nibe khona nani.

Nginitshelile lokho ukuba ukuthokoza kwami kube kini , nokuthokoza kwenu kugcwale. Umyalo wokuthandana

Aningikhethanga nina, kodwa mina nginikhethile nina , nganibeka ukuba niphume, nithele izithelo , nezithelo zenu zihlale ukuba noma yini eniyakukucela kuBaba egameni lami aninike khona.

Yilelo nalelo gatsha elikimi , elingatheli iz ithelo, uyalisusa. Yilelo nalelo elithela izithelo uyalihlunga ukuba lithele kakhulu.

Kodwa kunjalo ukuba kugcwaliseke izwi elilotshiweyo emthethweni wakubo lokuthi: Bangizonda ngeze.

UBaba uyakhazimuliswa ngalokhu ukuba nithele izithelo eziningi , nibe ngabafundi bami.

Lokho ngikukhulume kini ukuba ningakhubeki.

Bathi: Kuyini lokho akushoyo ukuthi: Yisikhashana, na? Asazi ukuba uthini.

Kuze kube kalokhu anicelanga lutho egameni lami . Celani, niyakwamukeliswa ukuba intokozo yenu igcwale.

Kalokhu siyazi ukuthi waz i konke , awudingi ukuba umuntu akubuze ; ngalokho siyakholwa ukuba wavela kuNkulunkulu.

Lokho ngikukhulume kini ukuba nibe nokuthula kimi . Ezweni niyakuba lusizi, kepha yimani isibindi, mina ngilinqobile izwe.

Kodwa mina nginitshela iqiniso lokuthi kunilungele ukuba ngimuke; ngokuba uma ngingamuki , uMduduzi kayikuza kini ; kepha uma ngimuka , ngiyakumthumela kini.

Lapho ngise nabo ezweni , ngabagcina egameni lakho labo ongiphe bona , ngabalonda; akakho kubo owalahleka, kuphela indodana yokulahlwa, ukuba kugcwaliseke umbhalo.

Sengiza kuwe kalokhu; ngikhuluma lokhu ezweni ukuba babe nokuthokoza kwami, kugcwale kubo.

Angiceli ukuba ubasuse ezweni; kepha ngicela ukuba ubalonde kokubi.

Ngiyazingcwelisa ngenxa yabo ukuba bangcweliswe nabo ngeqiniso.

njengalokho uyiphile amandla phezu kwenyama yonke ukuba bonke oyiphe bona ibaphe ukuphila okuphakade.

ukuba bonke babe munye , njengalokhu wena Baba ukimi , nami ngikuwe, ukuba nabo babe kithina, ukuze izwe likholwe ukuthi wena ungithumile.

mina kubona, nawe kimina, ukuba bapheleliswe ebunyeni, ukuze izwe lazi ukuba wena ungithumile, wabathanda, njengalokho ungithandile.

Baba, ngithanda ukuba labo ongiphe bona nabo babe khona nami lapha ngikhona, ukuze babone inkazimulo yami ongiphe yona ; ngokuba wangithanda, kungakasekelwa izwe.

Ngibazisile igama lakho, ngizakubazisa lona ukuba uthand o ongithande ngalo lube kubo, nami ngibe kubo.

Ukuphila okuphakade yilokhu ukuba bazi wena Nkulunkulu wedwa oqinisileyo, nomthumileyo, uJesu Kristu.

Ngikukhazimulisile emhlabeni , ngifeze umsebenzi ongiphe wona ukuba ngiwenze.

UKayafase kamb e nguye owaluleka abaJuda ngokuthi kubalungele ukuba kufe umumtu abe munye ngenxa yesizwe.

Base bekhipha uJesu kuKayafase , bemyisa endlini yokwa hlulela; kwakusekuseni. Kepha bona kabangenanga enqabeni ukuba bangangcoli kodwa babe nokudla iphasika.

ukuba kugcwaliseke izwi likaJesu alishilo lapha ebonisa ukuthi uyakufa ngokufa okunjani.

UJesu waphendula wathi : Umbuso wami awusiwo owaleli zwe . Uma umbuso wami ubungowaleli zwe , izikhonzi zami zaziyakulwa ukuba nginganikezelwa kubaJuda . Kepha kalokhu umbuso wami awusiwo owalapha.

Wayesethi uPilatu kuye : Kanti nokho uyinkosi na ? UJesu waphendula wathi: Usho khona . Ngiyinkosi; ngizalelwe lokho , ngafikela lokho ezweni ukuba ngifakazele iqiniso. Bonke abeqiniso bayalizwa izwi lami.

Kepha ninesiko lokuba nginikhululele omunye ngePhasika ; ngakho niyathanda ukuba nginikhululele inkosi yabaJuda na?

Kuthe-ke ukuba athi kubo: Yimina, bahlehla nyovane, bawa phansi.

ukuba ligcwaliseke izwi alishiloyo lokuthi : Kulabo ongiphe bona angilahlekelwanga namunye.

UJesu waphendula wathi : Ngabe awunamandla neze phezu kwami , ukuba awuwanikwanga ngaphezulu . Ngalokho-ke onginikele kuwe unesono esikhulu.

Wayesemnikela kubo ukuba abethelwe esiphambanweni. Ukubethelwa nokufa nokumbelwa kukaJesu (Math. 27: 33; Mark. 15: 22; Luk. 23: 26) Bamthatha-ke uJesu, bahamba naye.

Base bethi abapristi abakhulu babaJuda kuPilatu : Ungalobi ukuthi: Inkosi yabaJuda, kepha ukuba yena wathi: NgiyiNkosi yabaJuda.

Emva kwalokho uJe su, ekwazi ukuthi konke sekuphelelisiwe ukuba umbhalo ugcwaliseke, wathi: Ngomile.

Kwathi ukuba uJesu ewamukele uviniga , wathi: Kufeziwe; wagebisa ikhanda, wafa.

Khona abaJuda , ngokuba kwakungolokulungisela , ukuze izidumbu zingahlali esiphambanweni ngesabatha , ngokuba lolo suku lwesabatha lwalulukhulu, banxusa uPilatu ukuba yaphulwe imilenze yabo, basuswe.

Ngokuba lokho kwenzeka ukuba kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi : Akuyikwaphulwa thambo lakhe.

Emva kwalokho uJosefa wase -Arimatheya, engumfundi kaJesu kepha ekufihla ngokwesaba abaJuda , wacela kuPilatu ukuba asuse isidumbu sikaJesu; uPilatu wavuma-ke. Wayesefika, wasisusa isidumbu sikaJesu.

UPilatu wabuye waphuma, wathi kubo: Bhekani, ngimkhiphela kini, ukuze nazi ukuba angifumani cala kuye.

Lokhu kungubufakazi bukaJohane mhla abaJuda bethuma abapristi namaLevi bephuma eJerusalema ukuba bambuze ukuthi: Wena ungubani na?

Lowo wezela ubufakazi ukuba afakaze ngokukhanya, ukuze bonke bakholwe ngaye.

Kwathi ukuba asho njalo , wabaphephetha, wathi kubo: Yamukelani uMoya oNgcwele.

Kodwa lezi zilotshiwe ukuba nikholwe ukuthi uJesu unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, nokuba nikholwe, nibe nokuphila egameni lakhe.

UJesu wathi kuye: Uma ngithanda ukuba ahlale ngize ngifike , kuyini kuwe na? Wena landela mina.

Ngakho-ke leli zwi laphumela kubazalwane lokuthi lowo mfundi akayikufa . Kanti uJesu akashongo ukuthi akayikufa kodwa ukuthi: Uma ngithanda ukuba ahlale ngize ngifike, kuyini kuwe na? Isigcino

Abafundi bakhe bakhumbula ukuba kulotshwe ukuthi : Ukushisekela indlu yakho kuyangidla.

Ngakho-ke abaJuda baphendula, bathi kuye: Usitshengisa isibonakaliso sini ukuba wenze lokhu na?

kepha uJesu yena kabethembanga ukuba abhobokelane nabo , ngokuba wayebazi bonke,

Kwathi ukuba lisweleke iwayini , unina kaJesu wathi kuye : Kabanalo iwayini.

ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo abe nokuphila okuphakade.

Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka , waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade.

Ngokuba uNkulunkulu kayithumelanga iNdodana ezweni ukuba yahlulele izwe, kodwa ukuba izwe lisindiswe ngayo.

Ukwahlulela kuyilokhu ukuba ukukhanya kufikile ezweni , kepha abantu bathanda ubumnyama kunokukhanya, ngokuba imisebenzi yabo ibimibi.

Ngokuba yi lowo nalowo owenza okubi uzonda ukukhanya , akezi ekukhanyeni ukuba imisebenzi yakhe ingasolwa.

Nina ngokwenu niyangifakazela ukuba ngathi : Angisiye uKristu mina , kodwa ngithunyiwe ngaphambi kwakhe.

Kwathi ukuba iNkosi yazi ukuthi abaFarisi bezwile ukuba uJesu wenza abafundi, ebhapathiza abaningi kunoJohane,

Owesifazane wathi kuye : Nkosi, ngiphe lawo manzi ukuba ngingomi, ngingabe ngiseza ukukha lapha.

Ovunayo wamukeliswa umvuzo , abuthe isithelo kube ngukuphila okuphakade ukuba ohlwanyelayo athokoze kanye novunayo.

Kwakuswelekile ukuba adabule iSamariya.

Athe ukuba eze kuye amaSamariya , amncenga ukuba ahlale nawo; wahlala khona izinsuku ezimbili.

Kuthe-ke ukuba afike eGalile , abaseGalile bamamukela bebone konke akwenzayo eJerusalema emkhosini; ngokuba nabo babezile emkhosini. Ukuphiliswa kwendodana yenduna yaseKapernawume

Yathi ukuba izwe ukuthi uJesu ufikile eGalile evela eJudiya , yaya ku ye, yamncenga ukuba ehle aphulukise indodana yayo, ngokuba yayisizakufa.

Wayesezibuza isikhathi aqale ngaso ukuba ngcono ; khona zathi kuye : Umkhuhlane umyekile izolo ngehora lesikhombisa.

Khona owesifazane waseSamariya wathi kuye: Yini ukuba wena ongumJuda ucele ukuphuziswa yimi engingowesifazane waseSamariya na ? Ngokuba abaJuda abadlelani namaSamariya.

Ngokuba uYise uyayithanda iNdodana , uyikhombisa konke akwenzayo yena; woyikhombisa imisebenzi emikhulu kunalena ukuba nimangale.

ukuba bonke bazise iNdodana , njengokuba bazisa uYise . Ongayazisi iNdodana kamazisi noYise oyithumileyo.

Kepha mina angibam ukeli ubufakazi kumuntu; kodwa ngisho lokhu ukuba nisindiswe.

Kepha nginabo ubufakazi obukhulu kunobukaJohane , ngokuba imisebenzi uBaba anginike yona ukuba ngiyifeze , yona le misebenzi engiyenzayo , iyangifakazela ukuthi uBaba ungithumile.

Kepha anivumi ukuza kimi ukuba nibe nokuphila.

Kwathi ukuba bamfumane phesheya kolwandle , bathi: Rabi, ufike nini lapha na?

Bathi-ke kuye: Singenzani ukuba sisebenze imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu na?

Waphendula uJesu , wathi kubo : Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu yilowo ukuba nikholwe nguye amthumileyo.

Ngakho bathi kuye : Pho, wenza sibonakaliso sini ukuba sibone , sikholwe nguwe, na? Usebenzani na?

Okhokho bethu badla imana ehlane njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi : Wabapha isinkwa esivela ezulwini ukuba badle.

Ngokuba ngehle ezulwini kungengukuba ngenze intando yami , kodwa ukuba ngenze intando yongithumileyo.

Lokhu kuyintando yongithumileyo ukuba konke angiphe khona ngingalahlekelwa lutho kukho, kodwa ngikuvuse ngomuhla wokuphela.

Ngokuba lokhu kuyintando kaBaba ukuba yilowo nalowo obona iNdodana, akholwe yiyo , abe nokuphila okuphakade ; ngiyakumvusa mina ngomuhla wokuphela.

Kuthe uJesu ephakamisa amehlo, wabona ukuthi isixuku esikhulu siza kuye, wathi kuFiliphu: Sizakuzithengaphi izinkwa ukuba badle laba na?

Lesi siyisinkwa esehla ezulwini ukuba umuntu adle kuso, angafi.

Kepha bakhona abanye phakathi kwenu abangakholwa . Ngokuba uJesu wazi kwasekuqaleni ukuba ngobani abangakholwa nokuba ngubani ozakumkhaphela.

AbaFarisi bezwa isixuku sikhonona ngalezo zinto ngaye; abapristi abakhulu nabaFarisi base bethuma izikhonzi ukuba zimbambe.

Yini ukuba ningayizwisisi inkulumo yami na? Kungokuba aninakuzwa izwi lami.

Emthethweni uMose wasiyala ngabanje ukuba bakhandwe ngamatshe . Pho, wena uthini na?

Base bethatha amatshe ukuba bamkhande . Kepha uJesu wasithela , waphuma ethempelini.

Abazali bakhe basho lokho , ngokuba besaba abaJuda . Ngokuba abaJuda base bevumelene ngokuthi, uma ekhona ovuma ukuba unguKristu, kakhishwe esinagogeni.

Wabaphendula wathi : Kade nginitshela , kepha anizwanga ; nifunelani ukuzwa futhi na? Niyafuna yini nani ukuba ngabafundi bakhe na?

Wathi uJesu : Mina ngizele ukwahlulela kuleli zwe ukuba abangaboniyo babone, nababonayo babe yizimpumputhe.

Wathi kubo uJesu : Ukuba beniyizimpumputhe , ngabe aninasono . Kepha manje nithi: Siyabona; isono senu sihlezi.

Yathi kubo : Ukuvuna kukhulu , kepha izisebenzi ziying cosana; ngakho-ke nxusani inkosi yokuvuna ukuba ithumele izisebenzi ekuvuneni kwayo.

Ngasona leso sikhathi wathokoza ngoMoya oNgcwele , wathi: Ngiyakubonga, Baba, Nkosi yezulu nomhlaba , ngokuba ukufihlile lokho kwabahlakaniphileyo nabanokuqonda, wakwambulela izingane; yebo, Baba, ngokuba kwaba kuhle phambi kwakho ukuba kube njalo.

Bheka, kwase kusukuma isazimthetho esithile , samlinga sathi : Mfundisi, ngizakwenzani ukuba ngidle ifa lokuphila okuphakade na?

Kepha umSamariya othile owayesendleleni wafika kuye ; wathi ukuba ambone, wamhawukela;

Kepha uMarta ekhathazekile ukusebenza okuningi waya kuye, wathi: Nkosi, awukhathaleli ukuthi udadewethu ungishiyile , ngisebenze ngedwa, na? Ngakho yisho kuye ukuba angisize.

Akakho othi esokhela isibani, asibeke esitha nangaphansi kwesitsha, kepha usifaka othini ukuba abangenayo babone ukukhanya.

Ngakho qaphela ukuba ukukhanya okukuwe kungabi ngubumnyama.

Esakhuluma, umFarisi wammema ukuba adle naye ; wangena, wahlala ekudleni.

bemqamekela ukuba babambe into ephuma emlonyeni wakhe.

Omunye wesixuku wathi kuye: Mfundisi, shono kumfowethu ukuba abelane nami ifa.

Ngalokho nxa ningenamandla okwenza nokuncinyane , yini ukuba nikhathazeke ngokunye na?

Nani yibani njengabantu ababheke inkosi yabo ibuya emshadweni ukuba , nxa ifika ingqongqotha, bayivulele masinyane.

Kepha yazini lokhu kokuthi, uma umninindlu ebesazi isikhathi isela elizakufika ngaso, ubengayikuvuma ukuba ifohlwe indlu yakhe.

Yayisithi iNkosi : Ngumuphi-ke umphathi othembekileyo noqondileyo , inkosi yakhe eyakumbeka phezu kwabendlu bayo ukuba abanike isabelo sabo sokudla ngesikhathi sakho?

Ngize ukuphonsa umlilo emhlabeni ; bengifunisisa kangakanani ukuba nga sewokhelwe.

Bazenzisi, niyakwazi ukuchachisa ukuma komhlaba nokwezulu; kepha yini ukuba ningachachisi lesi sikhathi na?

Pho, yini ukuba ninganqumi ngokwenu okulungileyo na?

Ngokuba, nxa uya enkosini nomelene nawe, ncengisisa usesendleleni ukuba ukhululeke kuye , funa mhlawumbe akuhudulele kumahluleli , umahluleli akunikele kulo iphoyisa, iphoyisa likuphonse etilongweni.

Kepha lona , eyindodakazi ka -Abrahama, uSathane abembophile, bhekani, iminyaka eyishumi nesishiyagalombili , bekungafanele yini ukuba akhululwe kuleso sibopho ngosuku lwesabatha na?

Wathi ukuba asho lokho , bajabha bonke ababemelene naye ; isixuku sonke sathokoza ngemisebenzi yonke yenkazimulo eyenziwe nguye. Imifanekiso ngombuso kaNkulunkulu (Math. 13:31; Mark. 4:30)

Nokho ngimelwe ukuba ngihambe namuhla nakusasa nangomhlomunye ; ngokuba akunakwenzeka ukuba umprofethi abhubhe ngaphandle kweJerusalema.

Wayesethi kuso isisebenzi sesivini : Bheka, sekuyiminyaka emithathu ngiza ngifuna isithelo kulo mkhiwane , ngingasifumani; wunqume; yini ukuba uyone futhi inhlabathi?

Kwathi ekungeneni kwakhe ngesabatha endlini yomunye waba yizikhulu kubaFarisi ukuba adle ukudla, bona uqobo babemqaphele.

Kepha nxa umenyiwe , hamba uhlale endaweni esenzansi ukuba , nxa efika okumemileyo, athi kuwe: Mhlobo, yenyukela enhla; khona uyakuba nodumo phambi kwabo bonke abahlezi nawe ekudleni.

Ngesikhathi sedili wathuma inceku yakhe ukuba isho kwabamenyiweyo ukuthi: Zanini, ngokuba sekulungisiwe konke.

Kepha bonke baqala ukuzilandulela ngazwi linye ; owokuqala wathi kuye : Ngithengile insimu , kuswelekile ukuba ngiye ngiyibone ; ngiyakuncenga, mawungilandulele.

Yathi inkosi encekwini : Phuma uye ezindleleni nasezintangweni, ubacindezele bangene ukuba igcwale indlu yami.

Noma yiyiphi inkosi eya kwenye inkosi ukuhlaselana nayo engaqali ihlale phansi, ihlole ukuba inamandla yini ukuhlangabezana ngezinkulungwane eziyishumi naleyo eza kuyo, inezinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili na?

Yayisiya kukhonza komunye umuntu walelo zwe ; yena wayithuma emadlelweni akhe ukuba yaluse izingulube.

Kodwa yaphendula, yathi kuyise: Bheka, iminyaka engaka ngikukhonzile ; angizange ngeqe umyalo wakho , kepha mina awuzange ungiphe nazinyane lembuzi ukuba ngijabule nabahlobo bami,

kodwa kuthe ukuba ifike leyo ndodana yakho eqede imfuyo yakho nezifebe, wayihlabisa ithole elikhuluphalisiweyo.

Athi ukuba aluthole, abize abahlobo nabakhelwane , athi: Thokozani nami, ngokuba ngilutholile uhlamvu lwami obelungilahlekele.

Kepha kulula ukuba kudlule izulu nomhlaba kunokuba kuwe ibalana elilodwa lomthetho. Ukuhlalisana kwabaganeneyo (Math. 19:3; Mark. 10:1)

Kepha u -Abrahama wathi : Ndodana, khumbula ukuba wamukela okuhle kwakho usesekuphileni noLazaru kanjalo okubi ; kodwa manje uyaduduzwa yena lapha, wena uyahlushwa.

Nangaphezu kwakho konke lokho kubekiwe umhosha omkhulu phakathi kwethu nani ukuba abafuna ukusuka lapha baye kini bangekwenze , nabalapho bangaweleli kithi.

Sase sithi: Njalo ngiyakucela, baba, ukuba umthumele endlini kababa,

Ngiyakwazi engiyakukwenza ukuba bangamukele ezindlini zabo , nxa ngikhishwa ebuphathini.

Wayesethi kubafundi bakhe : Kungeze kwenzeka ukuba kungaveli izikhubekiso; kodwa maye kulowo ezivela ngaye!

Kungcono kuye ukuba itshe lokusila l igaxwe entanyeni yakhe , alahlwe elwandle, kunokuba akhubekise abe munye kulaba abancinyane.

Baletha kuye nabant wanyana ukuba abaphathe ; kepha abafundi bekubona babakhuza.

Umbusi othile wayesembuza ethi : Mfundisi omuhle, ngiyakwenzani ukuba ngidle ifa lokuphila okuphakade na?

Kulula ukuba ikamela lingene ngentunja yosungulo kunokuba onothileyo angene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.

Ababehamba phambili bayikhuza ukuba ithule kepha kwayikhona imemeza kakhulu yona, ithi: Ndodana kaDavide, ngihawukele!

Wema-ke uJesu, wayala ukuba ilethwe kuye. Isisondele, wayibuza wathi:

Ufuna ukuba ngikwenzeleni na? Yathi: Nkosi, ukuba ngibone.

Kuthe ukuba bakuzwe lokho , weleka walandisa umfanekiso , ngokuba ebeseduze neJerusalema nangokuba bebethi umbuso kaNkulunkulu uzakubonakala masinyane.

Kepha abantu bomuzi wakhe babemzonda , bathuma amanxusa emva kwakhe, bethi: Asithandi ukuba lo abuse phezu kwethu.

Kwathi esebuyile ekuthatheni umbuso, wathi azibizelwe kuye lezo zinceku abezinike imali ukuba azi ukuthi yileyo naleyo izuzeni ngokuhweba.

Kodwa lezo zitha zami ezazingathandi ukuba ngibuse phezu kwazo , ziletheni lapha, nizibulale phambi kwami.

ethi: Hambani niye emzaneni obhekene nani , nothi ukuba ningene kuwo , nizakufumana ithole lembongolo likhulekiwe , okungazange kuhlale muntu kulo; lithukululeni, nililethe.

Yagijimela phambili , yakhwela emthombeni ukuba imbone , ngokuba ebezakudlula ngakhona.

Ingelosi yaphendula , yathi kuye : NginguGabriyeli mina , omiyo phambi kukaNkulunkulu; ngithunyiwe ukuba ngikhulume kuwe , ngikubikele lezi zindaba ezinhle.

Kwathi ukuba u -Elisabethe ezw e ukubingelela kukaMariya , umntwana waxhuma esiswini sakhe; u-Elisabethe wagcwala uMoya oNgcwele,

Ngehlelwe kanjani yilokhu ukuba unina weNkosi yami ahambele kimi na?

ukusinika ukuba sithi sikhululiwe esandleni sezitha zethu , siyikhonze singenakwesaba

Ngenkathi efaneleyo wayesethumela inceku kubalimi ukuba bamnike ezithelweni zesivini; kepha abalimi bayishaya, bayimukisa ze.

Kepha abalimi beyibona bakhulumisana bathi: Lo uyindlalifa; masiyibulale ukuba ifa libe ngelethu.

Bamqaphela, bathuma izinhloli ezizishaya abalungileyo ukuba bamhile ngezwi lakhe, baze bamkhaphele emandleni nasegunyeni lombusi wezwe.

Ngakho kugcineni ezinhliziywe ni zenu ukuba ningazindli ngaphambili eniyakuziphendulela ngakho;

Ngokuba lezi ziyizinsuku zempindiselo ukuba kugcwaliseke konke okulotshiweyo.

Xwayani ukuba izinhliziyo zenu zingasindwa ngukuminza nokudakwa nokunaka okwalokhu kuphila, lunizume lolo suku ningazelele,

Ngakho lindani ngesikhathi sonke , nikhuleke ukuba ni be namandla okuphepha kukho konke lokhu okuyakwenzeka nawokuma phambi kweNdodana yomuntu.

Nxa nizwa ngezimpi neziyaluyalu , ningethuki, ngokuba kumelwe ukuba kwenzeke lokho kuqala, kepha ukuphela akukabikho masinyane.

Kwathi ukuba kufike isikhathi, wahlala phansi, nabaphostoli kanye naye.

Wayesethabatha isinkwa, wabonga, wasihlephula, wabanika, wathi: Lokhu kungumzimba wami onikelwa nina; yenzani lokhu ukuba ningikhumbule.

Abapristi abakhulu nababhali bafuna ukuba bangambulala kanjani; ngokuba babesaba abantu. Umvuzo wokumkhaphela uJesu (Math. 26:14; Mark. 14:10)

ukuba nidle , niphuze etafuleni lami embusweni wami ; niyakuhlala ezihlalweni zobukhosi, nahlulele izizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli. USimoni Petru uyaxwayiswa (Math. 26:31; Mark. 14:27; Joh. 13:36)

Simoni, Simoni, bheka, uSathane unifunile ukuba anihlunge njengokolweni;

Futhi ngithi kini : Kulula ukuba ikamela lingene ngentunja yosungulo kunokuba onothileyo angene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.

Kwase kusondela kuye abaFarisi , bamlinga bathi : Kuvunyelwe yini ukuba indoda ilahle umkayo noma ngaliphi icala na?

Lokhu konke kwenzeka ukuba kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa yiNkosi ngomprofethi ukuthi:

Bhekani, sikhuphukela eJerusalema ; iNdodana yomuntu izakukhashelwa kubapristi abakhulu nababhali; bazakuyinqumela ukuba ife,

bayikhaphele kwabezizwe ukuba iklolodelwe , ishaywe, ibethelwe esiphambanweni; kepha ngosuku lwesithathu izakuvuswa. UJesu ukhuza amadodana kaZebedewu (Mark. 10:35)

Yena wathi kuye : Ufunani na? Wathi kuye: Yisho ukuba lawa madodana ami amabili ahlale , enye ngakwesoku nene sakho , enye ngakwesokhohlo sakho embusweni wakho.

Akunjalo phakathi kwenu , kodwa yilowo nalowo ofuna ukuba mkhulu phakathi kwenu makabe yisikhonzi senu;

nalowo ofuna ukuba ngowokuqala phakathi kwenu makabe yinceku yenu,

njengalokho iNdodana yomuntu ingezelanga ukukhonzwa kepha ukukhonza nokunikela ukuphila kwayo, kube yisihlengo sabaningi. UJesu usiza izimpumputhe ezimbili ukuba zibone (Mark. 10:46)

Kepha isixuku sazikhuza ukuba zithule , kodwa kwayikhona zimemeza kakhulu, zithi: Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavide, sihawukele!

UJesu wema, wazibiza wathi: Nifuna ukuba nginenzeleni na?

Zathi kuye: Nkosi, ukuba amehlo ethu avuleke.

Kwathi ukuba basondele eJerusalema , sebefikile eBetfage ngaseNtabeni Yeminqumo, uJesu wathuma abafundi ababili,

Kwathi sekusondele isikhathi sezithelo , wathuma izinceku zakhe kubalimi ukuba zithathe izithelo zakhe.

Kepha lokho kwenzeka ukuba kugcwaliseke okwashiwo ngumprofethi othi:

Khona abaFarisi basuka, bacebisana ukuba bamhile ngezwi.

Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi , bazenzisi, ngokuba nihamba ulwandle nomhlaba ukuba nithole nokuba iproselite lilinye , lithi selaba njalo nilenze indodana yesihogo ngokuphindiwe kunani!

ukuba kufike phezu kwenu igazi lonke elilungileyo elachithwa emhlabeni, kusukela egazini lika -Abela olungileyo kuze kube segazini likaZakariya indodana kaBarakiya enambulala phakathi kwethempeli ne-altare.

Kepha imisebenzi yonke yabo bayenza ukuba babonwe ngabantu ; amafilakteriyu abo bawenza abe banzi, bawenze abe makhulu amachopho.

Khulekani ukuba ukubaleka kwenu kungabi sebusika nangesabatha.

Kepha anokwazi lokhu ukuthi , uma umninindlu ebewazi umlindo isela eliyakufika ngawo, ubeyakulinda, angavumi ukuba indlu yakhe ifohlwe.

Pho, ngubani oyinceku ethembekileyo neqondayo , inkosi yayo eyimisile phezu kwabendlu yayo ukuba ibanike ukudla ngesikhathi sakho na?

Niyakuzwa izimpi namahemuhemu ezimpi . Bhekani ningethuki , ngokuba kumelwe ukuba kwenzeke, kepha ukuphela koba kungakafiki.

Kepha ngosuku lokuqala lwe sinkwa esingenamvubelo abafundi beza kuJesu, bathi: Uthanda ukuba sikulungiselephi ukuba udle iphasika na?

Niyazi ukuthi emva kwezinsuku ezimbili kuyiPhasika ; iNdodana yomuntu izakukhashelwa ukuba ibethelwe esiphambanweni.

INdodana yomuntu iyamuka kambe njengokulotshiwe ngayo , kepha maye kulowo muntu iNdodana yomuntu ekhashelwa ngaye ! Nga kukuhle kulowo muntu ukuba kazalwanga.

Wathatha uPetru namadodana amabili kaZebedewu , waqala ukuba nomunyu nosizi.

Bacebisana ukuba bambambe uJesu ngobuqili, bambulale.

Lindani, nikhuleke ukuba ningangeni ekulingweni; umoya uyavuma, kepha inyama ibuthakathaka.

Pho-ke ingagcwaliseka kanjani imibhalo yokuthi kumelwe ukuba kube njalo na?

Kepha konke lokho kwenzekile ukuba kugcwaliseke imibhalo yabaprofethi . Khona bonke abafundi bamshiya, babaleka.

Kepha uPetru wamlandela ekude kwaze kwaba segcekeni lompristi omkhulu; wangena phakathi , wahlala phansi nezikhonzi ukuba abone isigcino.

Kepha uJesu wathula . Wayesethi kuye umpristi omkhulu : Ngikufungisa uNkulunkulu ophilayo ukuba usitshele uma unguKristu , iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.

Ngakho sebebuthene, uPilatu wathi kubo : Nithanda ukuba nginikhululele bani, uBaraba nokuba uJesu othiwa uKristu, na?

Kepha abapristi abakhulu namalunga bancenga izixuku ukuba zicele uBaraba, zimbulale uJesu.

Wayesephendula umbusi , wathi kubo : Nithanda ukuba nginikhululele muphi kulaba ababili na? Bathi: UBaraba.

Wayesebakhululela uBaraba , kepha wamshaya uJesu , wamnikela ukuba abethelwe esiphambanweni.

Esaphuma afumana umuntu waseKhurene , nguSimoni igama lakhe ; amcindezela lowo ukuba athwale isiphambano sakhe. UJesu esesiphambanweni (Mark. 15:22; Luk. 23:26; Joh. 19:17)

wathi: Ngonile ukuba ngikhaphele igazi elingenacala . Bona bathi : Kuyini lokho kithi na? Zibonele wena.

lo waya kuPilatu , wacela isidumbu sikaJesu . Khona uPilatu wayala ukuba anikwe sona.

Ngakho yala ukuba iliba ligcinwe kuze kube lusuku lwesithathu ukuba abafundi bakhe bangaze bafike bamebe, bathi kubantu: Uvukile kwabafileyo; kuthi inkohliso yokugcina ibe mbi kuneyokuqala.

Khona uJesu wathi ku bo: Ningesabi; hambani, nibikele abafowethu ukuba bahambe baye eGalile; bayakungibona khona.

Kwathi ziyaliwe nguNkulunkulu ngephupho ukuba zingabuyeli kuHerode , zabuyela ezweni lakubo ngenye indlela.

Sezimukile, bheka, ingelosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuJosefa ngephupho , ithi: Vuka uthabathe umntwana nonina , ubalekele eGibithe, uhlale khona, ngize ngikutshele; ngokuba uHerode uzakumfuna umntwana ukuba ambhubhise.

wafika wakha emzini othiwa iNazaretha ukuba kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngabaprofethi ukuthi: Uyakubizwa ngokuthi umNazaretha.

wazithuma eBetlehema, wathi: Hambani nibuzisise ngomntwana; kuyakuthi nxa nimfumene, ningitshele ukuba nami ngiye ngikhuleke kuye.

Khona uJesu evela eGalile wafika kuJohane eJordani ukuba azobhapathizwa nguye.

Ningacabangi ukuba ningasho phakathi kwenu ukuthi : S inobaba u - Abrahama; ngokuba ngithi kini : UNkulunkulu angamvusela u -Abrahama abantwana kulawa matshe.

Khona uJesu waholelwa nguMoya ehlane ukuba alingwe nguSathane.

ukuba kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngo-Isaya umprofethi ukuthi:

Kwafika umlingi, wathi kuye: Uma uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, yisho ukuba lawa matshe abe yizinkwa.

Kanjalo makukhanye ukukhanya kwenu phambi kwabantu ukuba babone imisebenzi yenu emihle, badumise uYihlo osezulwini.

Uma iso lakho lokunene likukhubekisa , likhiphe, ulilahle; ngokuba kungcono kuwe ukuba kubhubhe sibe s inye ezithweni zakho kunokuba wonke umzimba wakho uphonswe esihogweni.

Noma isandla sakho sokunene sikukhubekisa , sinqume, usilahle; ngokuba kungcono kuwe ukuba kubhubhe sibe sinye ezithweni zakho kunokuba wonke umzimba wakho uphonswe esihogweni.

Nosuka ekucindezela ukuba uhambe imayela libe linye , hamba naye abe mabili.

ukuba nibe ngabant wana bakaYihlo osezulwini ; ngokuba yena uphumisa ilanga lakhe phezu kwababi nabahle , anise imvula phezu kwabalungileyo nabangalungile.

Kepha qaphelani ningenzi ukulunga kwenu phambi kwabantu ukuba nibonwe yibo, funa ningabi nawo umvuzo kuYihlo osezulwini.

Ngakho-ke nxa wabela isipho , ungakhalisi icilongo phambi kwakho , njengalokhu kwenza abazenzisi emasinagogeni nasemigwaqweni ukuba badunyiswe ngabantu. Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewamukele umvuzo wabo.

Nalapho nikhuleka, ningabi njengabazenzisi, ngokuba bethanda ukukhuleka bemi emasi nagogeni nasezinhlanganweni zezindlela ukuba babonwe ngabantu. Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewamukele umvuzo wabo.

Ningahluleli ukuba ningahlulelwa.

Ngakho-ke konke nokungakanani enifuna ukuba abantu bakwenze kini , kwenzeni nani kanjalo kubo; ngokuba lokhu kungumthetho nabaprofethi.

Kwathi uJesu ebona isixuku simhaqile , wayala ukuba kuwelelwe ngaphesheya.

Kepha abantu bamangala , bathi: Unjani lo ukuba nomoya nolwandle kumlalele na? Ukukhishwa kwamademoni (Mark. 5:1; Luk. 8:26)

Amademoni amncenga athi : Uma usikhipha , sithume ukuba singene emhlambini wezingulube.

Bheka, umuzi wonke waphuma ukuyomhlangabeza uJesu ; bathe bembona, bamncenga ukuba amuke emikhawulweni yelakubo.

Induna yekhulu yaphendula yathi : Nkosi, angifanele ukuba ungene phansi kophahla lwami, kepha yisho izwi nje, khona umfana wami uyakusinda.

AbaFarisi bekubona lokho bathi kubafundi bakhe : Yini ukuba umfundisi wenu adle nabathelisi nezoni na?

Kepha hambani nifunde ukuba kuthini ukuthi : Ngifuna isihawu , hhayi umhlatshelo. Ngokuba angizanga ukubiza abalungileyo kepha izoni ukuba ziphenduke. Ukuzila ukudla (Mark. 2:18; Luk. 5:33)

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

Ayesevuleka amehlo a zo. UJesu waziyalisisa , wathi: Qaphelani ukuba kungaziwa muntu.

Ngakho-ke nxusani eNkosini yokuvuna ukuba ithume izisebenzi , ziye ekuvuneni kwayo.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Ngenxa yeziphambeko ezintathu zabantwana bakwa-Amoni, yebo, ngenxa yezine , angiyikuguquka, ngokuba baqaqile abakhulelweyo kwaGileyadi ukuba bayenze banzi imikhawulo yabo.

Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngenxa yeziphambeko ezintathu zaseGaza, yebo, ngenxa yezine , angiyikuguquka, ngokuba bathumba abantu ngokuthumba okupheleleyo ukuba babakhaphele ku-Edomi.

Futhi mina nganikhuphula ezweni laseGibithe , nganihambisa iminyaka engamashumi amane ehlane ukuba nidle ifa lezwe lama-Amori.

Bazondelela amakhanda abampofu ukuba abe sothulini lomhlabathi , bachezukisa indlela yabathobileyo; indoda noyise baya entombininye , ukuze balihlambalaze igama lami elingcwele,

Nganithumela isifo ngendlela yaseGibithe , ngazibulala izinsizwa zenu ngenkemba, ngathumba amahhashi enu , ngenza ukuba ukunuka kwekamu lenu kukhuphukele nasemakhaleni enu , kepha nokho anibuyelanga kimi , usho uJehova.

Futhi ngagodla kini imvula , kusasele izinyanga ezintathu ukuba kuvunwe , ngalinisa phezu komunye umuzi , komunye umuzi angilinisanga ; esinye isiqephu saniselwa, nesiqephu esinganiselwanga sasha.

Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti , iNkosi, uthi: Ezigcawini zonke kuyakuba khona ukukhala , nakuzo zonke izitaladi bayakusho ukuthi: Maye, maye! babize umlimi ukuba akhale, nabaziyo izililo ukuba balile;

Ngiyakunenza ukuba nithunjelwe ngaphesheya kweDamaseku , usho uJehova ogama lakhe linguNkulunkulu Sebawoti.

owenza ukuchitha ukuba kunyazime phezu kwabanamandla , nencithakalo ukuba yehlele izinqaba.

Lapho umngane womuntu emphakamisa kanye noshisayo ukuba bakhiphe amathambo endlini, abesesho kophakathi kwendlu impela ukuthi: Kusekhona muntu kuwe na ? yena esephendula athi : Akusekho, khona wothi : Thula, ngokuba asinakuthinta igama likaJehova.

nithi: Kuyakudlula nini ukwethwasa kwenyang a ukuba sithengise ngamabele, nesabatha ukuba sikhiphe ukolweni , senze i -efa libe lincane , senze ishekeli libe likhulu, senze izilinganiso ukuba zikhohlise,

Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku , isho iNkosi uJehova , ngilishonise ilanga emini , ngenze ukuba kube mnyama emhlabeni emini ekhanyayo.

Noma becasha esiqongweni saseKarmeli , ngiyakubafunisisa, ngibakhiphe khona; nakuba befihlekile emehlweni ami phakathi kolwandle , ngiyakuyala inyoka ukuba iphume khona, ibalume.

Noma beya ekuthunjweni phambi kwezitha zabo , ngiyakubiza inkemba ukuba iphume khona , ibabulale, ngibeke amehlo ami kub o kube kubi , kungabi kuhle.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Ngena kuFaro , ngokuba ngenze lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe nenhliziyo yezinceku zakhe ukuba ngizenze lezi zibonakaliso zami phakathi kwabo,

Wayesethi kubo : Makabe nani -ke uJehova , njengokuba ngizakunivumela ukuba nihambe nezingane zenu; bhekani, ngokuba okubi kuphambi kwenu.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Yelula isandla sakho phezu kwezwe laseGibithe, kufike isikhonyane ukuba senyukele ezweni laseGibithe, sidle imifino yonke, konke okwashiywa yisichotho.

Ngalokho ake nithethelele isono sami ngalesi sikhathi esisodwa nje , nincenge uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ukuba asuse kimi lokhu kufa kuphela.

Kepha uJehova wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro , kabavumelanga abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba bahambe. Inhlupheko yesishiyagalolunye: ubumnyama

UJehova wayesethi kuMose: Yelula isandla sakho ngasezulwini ukuba kube khona ubumnyama ezweni laseGibithe obuphatheka ngesandla.

Kepha uJehova wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro , kabavumelanga ukuba bahambe.

UFaro wathi kuye : Suka kimi , uqaphele ukuba ungabuboni ubuso bami futhi; ngokuba mhla ubona ubuso bami, uyakufa.

OMose no -Aroni bangena -ke kuFaro , bathi kuye : Usho kanje uJehova , uNkulunkulu wamaHeberu , uthi: Koze kube nini wenqaba ukuzithoba phambi kwami na? Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe, bangikhonze.

Ngokuba uma wenqaba ukuba abantu bami bahambe , bheka, ngomuso ngizakuletha isikhonyane ezweni lakho.

Kepha izinceku zikaFaro zathi kuye : Lo muntu uzakuba lugibe kuze kube nini na? Bavumele abantu ukuba bahambe bakhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo. Awukwazi ukuthi iGibithe seliyashabalala na?

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Ngisezakuletha inhlupheko eyodwa kuFaro nakulo iGibithe; ngasemuva uyakunivumela ukuba nisuke lapha ; yebo, nxa eniyeka ukuba nihambe, uzakunixosha nokunixosha lapha.

Khuluma manje ezin dlebeni zabantu ukuba yilowo nalowo mlisa acele kumakhelwane wakhe , yilowo nalowo wesifazane acele kumakhelwane wakhe izinto zesiliva nezinto zegolide.

Wayesethi uJehova kuMose : UFaro akayikukulalela ukuba izimangaliso zami zande ezweni laseGibithe.

Ngokuba uJehova uyakudabula ukuyoshaya abaseGibithe ; nanxa ebona igazi elisekhothameni nasezinsikeni zombili , uJehova uyakudlula kulowo mnyango, angamvumeli umbhubhisi ukuba angene ezindlini z enu ukuyobulala.

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

Kwathi uFaro evuma kalukhuni ukuba sihambe , uJehova wabulala amazibulo onke asezweni laseGibithe , amazibulo abantu namazibulo ezinkomo; ngalokho ngiyahlabela uJehova konke okuvula isizal o okungamaduna; kepha onke amazibulo amadodana ami ngiyawahlenga.

Kwathi uFaro esebavumele abantu ukuba bahambe , uNkulunkulu akabaholanga ngendlela yasezweni lamaFilisti , noma kwakuyiyona eseduze ; ngokuba uNkulunkulu wathi: Funa mhlawumbe abantu bazisole, nxa bebona impi, babuyele eGibithe.

UJehova wahamba phambi kwabo emini ngensika yefu eyo bahola endleleni, nasebusuku ngensika yomlilo eyobakhanyisela ukuba bahambe imini nobusuku.

Bathi kuMose : Kungokuba kwakungekho mathuna eGibithe usikhiphile ukuba sifele ehlane na? Usenzeleni lokhu, wasikhipha eGibithe, na?

UJehova wayesethi kuMose: Ukhalelani kimi na? Yisho kubantwana bakwa- Israyeli ukuba bahambe.

Yisho kwabakwa -Israyeli ukuba babuyele emuva , bamise ngaphambi kwePhi Hahiroti , ngaphakathi kweMigidoli nolwandle , phambi kweBali Sefoni; anomisa ngaselwandle, nibhekane nalo.

Wawisa amasondo ezinqola ukuba bahambise kalukhuni , baze bathi abaseGibithe: Masibaleke ebusweni buka -Israyeli, ngokuba uJehova uyabalwela emelene nabaseGibithe.

Wayesethi uJehova kuMose : Yelula isandla sakho phezu kolwandle ukuba amanzi abuyele phezu kwabaseGibithe , phezu kwezinqola zabo nabamahhashi babo.

Inkosi yaseGibithe yabikelwa ukuthi abantu sebebalekile ; inhliziyo kaFaro neyezinceku zakh e yabaguqukela abantu, bathi: Yini lokhu esikwenzileyo , sabavumela abakwa-Israyeli ukuba bahambe, bangasikhonzi, na?

Uzakubangenisa, ubatshale entabeni yefa lakho , indawo ozenzele yona , Jehova, ukuba uhlale kuyo, indlu engcwele, Nkosi, eziyimisile izandla zakho.

Bakubona abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, bathi omunye komunye : Yini le ? ngokuba babengazi ukuthi kuyini . UMose wathi kubo : Kuyisinkwa uJehova aninike sona ukuba nisidle.

Kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa kwaphuma abanye abantu ukuba bakubuthe, kepha kabakutholanga.

UMose wathi : Lokhu kuyikho uJehova ayalile ngakho ukuthi : Makulondolozwe ezizukulwaneni iyomere eligcweleyo lalokhu ukuba babone isinkwa enganipha sona ehlane ngisanikhipha ezweni laseGibithe.

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.

Ngalokho abantu baphikisana noMose, bathi: Siphe amanzi, siphuze. UMose wathi kubo: Yini ukuba niphikisane nami na? Nimlingelani uJehova na?

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

UMose wayesekhala kuJehova , ethi: Ngizakwenzani kulaba bantu na ? Sekukancane ukuba bangikhande ngamatshe.

Wena-ke wobamise la abantu umkhawulo nxazonke , uthi: Xwayani ukuba ningakhuphukeli entabeni , ningathinti umkhawulo wayo . Lowo othinta intaba uyakubulawa impela;

UMose wayesebakhipha abantu ekamu ukuba bahlangane noN kulunkulu; bema phansi kwentaba.

UJehova wehlela phezu kwentaba yaseSinayi esiqongweni sentaba; uJehova wambiza uMose ukuba eze esiqongweni sentaba; uMose wakhuphuka-ke.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose: Yehla, ubaxwayise abantu, funa bafohle ukuba babone uJehova, kufe abaningi kubo.

UJehova wathi kuMose : Bheka, ngiza kuwe ngefu elinzima ukuba abantu bezwe, nxa ngikhuluma nawe , bakholwe nguwe kuze kube phakade . UMose walandisa uJehova amazwi abantu.

UMose wayesethi kubantu : Ningesabi, ngokuba uNkulunkulu uze ukuba anivivinye, ukumesaba kube semehlweni enu, ukuze ningoni.

Wongenzela i -altare lomhlabathi , unikele phezu kwalo iminikelo yakho yokushiswa neminikelo yakho yokuthula , izimvu zakho nezinkomo zakho ; ezindaweni zonke lapho ngilenza ukuba likhunjulwe khona igama lami , ngiyakuza kuwe, ngikubusise.

Uma umuntu esukela umakhelwane wakhe , ambulale ngobuqili, womsusa nase-altare lami ukuba afe.

Uma sisibi emehlweni enkosi yaso ezimisele sona, yovuma ukuba sihlengwe; ayiyukuba namandla okuthengisa ngaso kubo abafokazi , njengokuba isiphathe ngenkohliso.

Uma umuntu enikeza kumakhelwane wakhe imbongolo , noma inkabi, noma imvu , noma kungaba yisilwane sini , ukuba akulondoloze, bese kufa , noma kulimala, noma kuphangwa, kungabonwa muntu,

Ungavumi ukuba umlumbikazi aphile.

Uma umuntu enikeza kumakhelwane wakhe imali noma impahla ukuba ayilondoloze, bese yebiwa endlini yalowo muntu , isela, uma lifunyanwa, liyakukhokha kuphindwe kabili.

Uma isela lingafunyanwa , umninindlu uyakusondela kuNkulunkulu , kubonwe ukuba akafakanga yini isandla sakhe empahleni yomakhelwane wakhe.

kepha ngomnyaka wesikhombisa uyakuliyeka libe yifusi ukuba abampofu babantu bakho badle ; abakushiyayo makudliwe yizilwane zasendle ; wenze njalo nangesivini sakho nangeminqumo yakho.

Izinsuku eziyisithupha wosebenza umsebenzi wakho , uphumule ng osuku lwesikhombisa ukuba inkabi yakho nembongolo yakho ziphumule , bahlunyelelwe indodana yencekukazi yakho nomfokazi.

Bheka, ngiyathuma ingelosi phambi kwakho ukuba ikulondoloze endleleni, ikuyise endaweni engiyilungisileyo.

Ngiyakuthuma ukwesabeka kwami phambi kwakho , ngibasanganise bonke abantu ozakufika kubo, ngenze ukuba zonke izitha zakho zikufulathele.

Abayikuhlala ezweni lakini, funa bakwenze ukuba wone kimi, ngokuba uma ubakhonza onkulunkulu babo, kuyakuba lugibe kuwe.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Khuphukela kimi entabeni , uhlale khona , ngikunike izibhebhe zamatshe , nomthetho, nemiyalelo engiyibhalile ukuba ubafundise yona.

Wozifaka izinti emasongweni asezinhlangoth ini zomphongolo ukuba uthwalwe ngazo.

Yisho kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli ukuba bangithabathele umnikelo ; kubo bonke abantu abanhliziyo zabo zivuma anothabatha umnikelo wami.

Ngiyakuhlangana nawe khona , ngikhulume nawe , ngiphezu kwesihlalo somusa emkhathini wamakherubi amabili aphezu komphongolo wobufakazi , ngakho konke engiyakukuyala ngakho ukuba ubatshele abantwana bakwa - Israyeli. Itafula lesinkwa sokubukwa

Wozenza izinti ngomuthi womtholo , uzinameke ngegolide , ukuba itafula lithwalwe ngazo,

Wolwenzela izibani eziyisikhombisa, izibani zalo zibekwe ukuba zikhanyise phambi kwalo.

Bhekisisa ukuba uzenze ngesifanekiso sazo owaboniswa sona entabeni.

Mabangenzele indlu engcwele ukuba ngihlale phakathi kwabo.

Wobayala abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ukuba balethe kuwe amafutha eminqumo agxotshelwe ukukhanyisa ukuba izibani zivuthe njalonjalo.

Wolibeka ngaphansi , phansi kosiko oluzungeza i -altare, ukuba inetha lifinyelele ngaphakathi kwe-altare ukuya phezulu.

Sondeza kuwe u -Aroni umfowenu namadodana akhe phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba bangikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi, o- Aroni, noNadabi, no-Abihu, no-Eleyazare, no-Itamari, amadodana ka-Aroni.

Bayakusibopha isihlangu sesifuba ngamasongo aso emaso ngweni engubo yamahlombe ngentambo eluhlaza ukuba sibe phezu kwebhande elifekethisiweyo lengubo yamahlombe , ukuze isihlangu sesifuba singakhumuki engutsheni yamahlombe.

Wokhuluma kubo bonke abahlakaniphile ngenhliziyo en gibagcwalisile ngomoya wokuhlakanipha ukuba bazenze izambatho zika -Aroni zokumngcwelisa, ukuze angikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi.

kube yimbobo yekhanda ngaphakathi kwalo , imbobo yalo ibe nomphetho oyizungezayo womsebenzi owalukiweyo njengembobo yeb hantshi lensimbi ukuba lingadatshulwa.

Uyakuba sebunzini lika -Aroni, u-Aroni athwale ububi bezinto ezingcwele , abantwana bakwa-Israyeli abayakuzingcwelisa, zibe yizipho zabo ezingcwele; uyakuba sebunzini lakhe njalo ukuba bamukeleke ebusweni bukaJehova.

Yilezi izambatho abayakuzenza : isihlangu sesifuba , nengubo yamahlombe , nejazi, nebhantshi elifekethisiweyo, nesigqoko, nebhande, bamenzele u-Aroni umfowenu namadodana akhe izambatho ezingcwele ukuba bangikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi.

Bayakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo , owabakhipha ezweni laseGibithe, ukuba ngihlale phakathi kwabo ; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo.

Lapho esefika kuRehuweli uyise , wathi yena: Yini ukuba nisheshe nibuye namuhla na?

Udadewabo wayesethi kuyo indodakazi kaFaro : Ngihambe ngikubizele umzanyana kuwo amaHeberu ukuba akuncelisele ingane na?

Nxa ubala inani labantwana bakwa -Israyeli ngokwalabo ababalwayo , yilowo nalowo kubo makathele kuJehova ihlawulo lomphefumulo wakhe , lapho ubabalayo, ukuba kungabikho sifo phakathi kwabo, nxa ubabala.

Bheka, mina ngimisile kanye naye u -Oholiyabe indodana ka -Ahisamaki, owesizwe sakwaDani; ezinhliziyweni zazo zonke eziyizingcweti ngenhliziyo ngifake ukuhlakanipha ukuba zikwenze konke engikuyale ngakho:

Ngalokho ngiyeke ukuba ulaka lwami lubavuthele , ngibaqede, ngikwenze ube yisizwe esikhulu.

UMose wathi ku -Aroni: Benzeni kuwe laba bantu ukuba ubehlisele isono esingaka na?

Wayesethi uMose: Njengalokhu yilowo nalowo emelene nendodana yakhe nanomfowabo, manizahlukanisele namuhla kuJehova ukuba aninike isibusiso namuhla.

Bavuka ekuseni ngakusasa , banikela ngeminikelo yokushis wa, baletha iminikelo yokuthula ; abantu bahlala phansi ukuba badle , baphuze; bavuka ukuyodlala. Intukuthelo kaJehova nomkhuleko kaMose

UMose wabutha yo nke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa -Israyeli, wathi kuyo: Yilawa mazwi awayalile uJehova ukuba niwenze.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bawuletha umnikelo wesihle kuJehova , bonke abesilisa nabesifazane , abanhliziyo yabo ibavusele ukulethela yonke imisebenzi ayale ngayo uJehova ukuba yenziwe ngesandla sikaMose. Ababonisi bemisebenzi

Wawenza umshayo waphakathi ukuba udabule phakathi kwamapulangwe , kusukela ekugcineni ngalapha kuze kufike ekugcineni ngalapha.

bathi kuMose : Abantu baletha okuningi kakhulu kunokwanele inkonzo yomsebenzi ayalile ngawo uJehova ukuba wenziwe.

Wazenza izinti ngomuthi womtholo , wazinameka ngegolide, ukuba itafula lithwalwe ngazo.

Wazifaka izinti emasongweni asezinhlangothini zomphongolo ukuba umphongolo uthwalwe ngazo.

Wazifaka izinti emasongweni ezinhlangothini ze -altare ukuba lithwalwe ngazo; walenza ngamapulangwe laba yigobongo.

Base bebopha isihlangu sesifuba ngamasongo aso emasongweni engubo yamahlombe ngentambo eluhlaza ukuba sibe phezu kwebhande elifekethisiweyo le ngubo yamahlombe , ukuze isihlangu sesifuba singakhumuki engutsheni yamahlom be, njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.

Imbobo yejazi ngaphakathi kwalo yayinjengembobo yebhantshi lensimbi , inomphetho oyizungeza imbobo yalo ukuba lingadatshulwa.

Babophela kuye in tambo eluhlaza ukuba abekwe phezulu esigqokweni , njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose. Izinto zetabernakele* ziyalethwa

Ngakho hamba , ngiyakukuthuma kuFaro ukuba ukhiphe eGibithe abantu bami, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

UMose wayesethi kuNkulunkulu : Ngingubani mina ukuba ngiye kuFaro , ngikhiphe eGibithe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli na?

Kepha ngiyazi mina ukuthi inkosi yaseGibithe ayiyikuvuma ukuba nihambe, ngisho nangesandla esinamandla.

Wayesethi uMose: Mangiphambuke, ngiye ngibone lesi sibonakaliso esikhulu ukuba isihlahla asishi ngani.

ngehle ukuba ngibophule esandleni sabaseGibithe , ngibakhuphule kulelo zwe, ngibayise ezweni elihle elibanzi , izwe elichichima ubisi nezinyosi , indawo yamaKhanani , neyamaHeti, neyama-Amori, neyamaPherizi, neyamaHivi, neyamaJebusi.

Umembathise u-Aroni izambatho ezingcwele, umgcobe, umngcwelise ukuba angikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi.

uwagcobe, njengalokho wamgcoba uyise , ukuba bangikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi, ukugcotshwa kwabo kube ngubupristi obuphakade kubo ezizukulwaneni zabo.

UJehova wathi kuMose: Ekuhambeni kwakho usubuyela eGibithe bhekisisa ukuba wenze ebusweni bukaFaro zonke izimangaliso engizibeke esandleni sakho; kepha mina ngiyakuyenza lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe ; akayikubayeka abantu ukuba bahambe.

Ngiyakutshela: Yiyeke indodana yami ukuba ihambe ingikhonze , kepha awuyiyekanga; bheka, sengiyakubulala indodana yakho, izibulo lakho.

ukuba bakholwe ukuthi uJehova , uNkulunkulu wawoyise, uNkulunkulu ka- Abrahama, noNkulunkulu ka -Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe , ubonakele kuwe.

Ngasemuva oMose no -Aroni bafika , bathi kuFaro : Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe , bangenzele umkhosi ehlane.

Wathi uFaro : Ngubani uJehova ukuba ngilalele izwi lakhe , ngimyeke u- Israyeli ukub a ahambe na ? Angimazi uJehova , futhi angiyikumvumela u - Israyeli ukuba ahambe.

Zathi kubo : UJehova makanibheke , ahlulele, ngokuba nilenzile iphunga lethu linuke kabi emeh lweni kaFaro nasemehlweni ezinceku zakhe , nibeke inkemba esandleni sabo ukuba basibulale.

UJehova wathi kuMose: Manje usuzakubona lokho engiyakukwenza kuFaro, ngokuba ngenxa yesandla esiqinileyo uyakubayeka ukuba bahambe , nangenxa yesandla esinamandla uyakubaxosha ezweni lakhe.

Ngena ukhulume kuFaro inkosi yaseGibithe ukuba ivumele abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuphuma ezweni lakhe.

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose naku -Aroni ukuba bayale abakwa -Israyeli noFaro inkosi yaseGibithe ukukhipha abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe. Inzalo kaMose neka-Aroni

Yibo labo ababekhuluma kuFaro inkosi yaseGibithe ukuba akhiphe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli eGibithe; yibo oMose no-Aroni.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Inhliziyo kaFaro ilukhuni : uyenqaba ukuba abantu bahambe.

Wothi kuye: U Jehova, uNkulunkulu wamaHeberu, ungithume kuwe, uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe bangikhonze ehlane ; bheka, kuze kube manje awulalelanga.

UJehova wathi kuMose: Yisho ku-Aroni, uthi: Thatha induku yakho, welule isandla sakho phezu kwamanzi aseGibithe , naphezu kwemifula , naphezu kweminonjana yabo , naphezu kweziziba , naphezu kwamachibi amanzi abo onke ukuba aphenduke igazi , kube khona igazi ezweni lonke l aseGibithe ezitsheni zemithi nasezitsheni zamatshe.

Wena uyakukhuluma konke engikuyala ngakho ; u-Aroni umfowenu uyakukhuluma kuFaro ukuba abavumele abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ukuphuma ezweni lakhe.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose: Ngena kuFaro, uthi kuye: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe, bangikhonze.

Wayesethi: Ngomuso. Wathi: Makube njengezwi lakho ukuba wazi ukuthi akakho onjengaye uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.

Nezanusi zenze njalo ngemilingo yazo ukuba ziveze omiyane , kepha zahluleka. Omiyane babe khona kubantu nasezinkomeni.

Uma wenqaba ukuba basuke , bheka, mina ngiyakushaya izwe lakho lonke ngamasele;

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Vuka ekuseni kusasa , ume phambi kukaFaro; bheka, uyaphuma ukuya emanzini ; thana kuye : U Jehova usho kanje , uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe bangikhonze.

Ngokuba uma wenqaba ukuba basuke , bheka, ngizakuthumela kuwe izibawu, nakuzo izinceku zakho, nakubantu bakho , nasezindlini z akho; izindlu zabaseGibithe ziyakugcwala izibawu kanye nomhlabathi ezikuwo.

Ngalolo suku ngiyakwahlukanisa izwe laseGosheni abakhe kulo abantu bami ukuba kungabikho izibawu khona , ukuze wazi ukuthi nginguJehova phakathi kwezwe.

Wayesethi uFaro : Ngizakunivumela ukuba nihambe nihlabele uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ehlane , kepha ningayi ku de kakhulu nokho ; ngikhulekeleni.

Wathi uMose : Bheka, ngiyaphuma kuwe ; ngiyakuncenga uJehova ukuba izibawu zimuke , zisuke kuFaro , nakuzo izinceku zakhe , nakubantu bakhe ngomuso; kodwa uFaro angabuyi akhohlise ngokungavumeli abantu ukuba bahambe bahlabele uJehova.

UFaro wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe nangaleso sikhathi futhi , kabavumelanga abantu ukuba bahambe.

Khona uFaro wababiza oMose no -Aroni, wathi: Ncengani uJehova ukuba asuse amasele kimi nakubantu bami; ngizakuvumela abantu ukuba bahambe, bahlabele uJehova.

UMose wathi kuFaro : Ziphakamise phezu kwami , usho ukuthi ngizakukuncengela ngasiphi isikhathi wena nezinceku zakho , nabantu bakho ukuba achithwe amasele kuwe nasezindlini zakho, asale emfuleni kuphela.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Ngena kuFaro , umtshele ukuthi : U sho kanje uJehova, uNkulunkulu wamaHeberu , uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe, bangikhonze.

UJehova wayesethi kuMose : Vuka ekuseni kusasa , ume phambi kukaFaro , uthi kuye: UJehova, uNkulunkulu wamaHeberu, usho kanje, uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe, bangikhonze.

kepha ngikumise ngalokhu ukuba ngikubonise amandla ami , igama lami lishunyayelwe emhlabeni wonke.

Usabavimbela abantu bami, ungabavumeli ukuba bahambe, na?

Ngokuba uma wenqaba ukuba bahambe usababambile,

Yena owalesaba izwi likaJehova phakathi kwezinceku zikaFaro wazenza izinceku zakhe nezinkomo zakhe ukuba zibalekele ezindlini.

Wayesethi uJehova kuMose: Yelula isandla sakho ngasezulwini ukuba kuwe isichotho ezweni lonke laseGibithe , phezu kwabantu, naphezu kwazinkomo naphezu kwayo yonke imifino ezweni lonke laseGibithe.

Ncengani kuJehova , ngokuba sekwanele lokhu kuduma okungaka nesichotho; ngizakunivumela ukuba nihambe, ningabe nisahlala.

Inhliziyo kaFaro yayilukhuni , kabavumelanga abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ukuba bahambe, njengalokho uJehova eshilo ngoMose.

UFaro wathumela ; bheka, emfuyweni yakwa -Israyeli akufanga neyodwa; kepha inhliziyo kaFaro yayilukhuni, kabavumelanga abantu ukuba bahambe. Inhlupheko yesithupha: amathumba

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

Ngokuba le ndaba yenkosikazi iyakuphumela kubo bonke abesifazane ukuba ama doda abo adeleleke emehlweni abo , lapho kuthiwa inkosi u- Ahashiveroshi yamyala uVashiti , inkosikazi, ukuba alethwe phambi kwayo , kepha akafikanga.

yathuma izincwadi ezifundeni zonke zenkosi , ezifundeni ngezifunda njengokubhala kwazo nasezizweni ngezizwe njengezilimi zazo ukuba yilowo nalowo muntu abuse endlini yakhe, akhulume ngolimi lwesizwe sakubo.

Ukuphuza kwaya ngomthetho wokuba kungacindezelwa muntu , ngokuba inkosi yayiyalile zonke izinduna zendlu yayo ukuba zenze njengokuthanda kwabantu abanye ngabanye.

Kepha u-Esteri wayengakhulumanga ngabantu bakubo nangezihlobo zakhe , ngokuba uMoridekayi wayeyiyalile ukuba ingakusho.

UMoridekayi wayehamba zonke izinsuku phambi kwegceke lendlu yabesifazane ukuba azi impilo ka-Esteri nokuthi kwenziwe njani kuye.

intombi yangena ngaleyo ndlela enkosini , nakho konke eyakushoyo yakunikwa ukuba iphume nakho endlini yabesifazane, iye endlini yenkosi.

Lapho sesifikile isikhathi sika -Esteri, indodakazi ka -Abihayili, uyisekazi kaMoridekayi omthathe ukuba abe yindodakazi yakhe sokuba angene enkosini, akafunanga lutho , kuphela lokho akushoyo uHegayi induna yenkosi, umgcini wabesifazane . U-Esteri wafumana umusa emehlweni abo bonke abambonayo.

inkosi imise ababonisi ezifundeni zonke zombuso wakho ukuba babuthele ndawonye zonke izintombi ezibukekayo eShushani endlini yenkosi endlini yabesifazane phansi kwesandla sikaHegayi induna yenkosi , umgcini wabesifazane, zinikwe izinto zazo zokuqhola.

Inkosi yathi kuHamani: Isiliva liyanikwa wena, nesizwe futhi, ukuba wenze kuso okuhle emehlweni akho.

Izincwadi zathunywa ngesandla sezigijimi ezifundeni zonke zenkosi ukuba kuchithwe, kubulawe, kubhujiswe abaJuda bonke, abasha nabadala, izingane nabesifazane, ngalusuku lunye , ngolweshumi nantathu lwenyanga yeshumi nambili eyinyanga ka-Adari, impahla yabo ibe yimpango.

Impinda yokulotshiweyo yanikwa ukuba ibe yisimemezelo ezifundeni zonke, kumenyezelwe kubantu bonke ukuba bazilungiselele lolo suku.

Kwathi zikhuluma kuye imihla ngemihla , engazilaleli, zamtshela uHamani ukuba zibone ukuthi amazwi kaMoridekayi ayakuma yini , ngokuba wayezitshelile ukuthi ungumJuda.

UHamani wathi enkosini u -Ahashiveroshi: Kukhona isizwe esithile esihlakazekile, sisakazekile phakathi kwabantu bezifunda zonke zombuso wakho; nemithetho yaso yahlukene neyezizwe zonke; futhi asigcini imithetho yenkosi; ngalokho akufanele ukuba inkosi isiyeke.

Uma kukuhle enkosini , makulotshwe ukuba sichithwe ; ngiyakukhokhela amatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi esiliva ezandleni zabenza umsebenzi wenkosi, ayiswe esikhwameni senkosi.

Wayesethi u-Esteri kuHathaki, wayala ukuba kuthiwe kuMoridekayi:

Zonke izinceku zenkosi nabantu bezifunda zenkosi bayazi ukuthi bonke abesilisa nabesifazane abeza enk osini egcekeni elingaphakathi bengabizwanga, kukhona umthetho munye ngabo wokuba babulawe , ngaphandle kwalowo inkosi eyakwelulela kuye intonga yegolide ukuba aphile; kodwa mina angibizwanga ukuba ngingene enkosini ngalezi zi nsuku ezingamashumi amathathu.

Wayesesho uMoridekayi ukuba babuyisele impendulo ku -Esteri ngokuthi : Ungacabangi enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi wena uyakusinda endlini yenkosi kunabaJuda bonke.

U-Esteri wayesesho ukuba kubuyiselwe impendulo kuMoridekayi yokuthi:

U-Esteri wayesebiza uHathaki wezinduna zenkosi eyayimmisile ukuba amkhonze, wamyala ukuba aye kuMoridekayi , ukuze akwazi ukuthi kuyini nokuthi kungani na?

UMoridekayi wamtshela konke okumehleleyo nenani lemali uHamani ayethembisile ukulikhokhela esikhwameni senkosi ngabaJuda ukuba babhujiswe.

Wamnika futhi impinda yomthetho olotshiweyo owashaywa eShushani wokuba babhujiswe , ukuze amtshengise yona u -Esteri, amtshele ngayo , amyale ukuba angene enkosini uk unxusa kuyo, acelele abantu bakhe phambi kwayo.

Wayesethi uZereshi umkakhe nabo bonke abangane bakhe kuye : Yenza umuthi, ukuphakama kwawo kube yizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu , ukhulume ekuseni enkosini ukuba uMoridekayi aphanyekwe kuwo , besewungena ngokuthokoza kanye nenkosi edilini . Laba lihle lelo zwi kuHamani, wenza umuthi.

Yathi inkosi: Msheshiseni uHamani ukuba kwenziwe njengezwi lika -Esteri. Base beya inkosi noHamani edilini alilungisileyo u-Esteri.

Ngalobo busuku ubuthongo babaleka enkosini , yayala ukuba kulethwe incwadi yezikhumbuzo zezindaba zemihla ngemihla , zafundwa p hambi kwenkosi.

Yayisithi inkosi: Ngubani osegcekeni na? UHamani wayesandUkungena nje egcekeni elingaphandle lendlu yenkosi ukuba akhulume enkosini ngokuphanyekwa kukaMoridekayi emthini abemlungisele wona.

isambatho nehhashi makunikez we esandleni sesinye sezikhulu ezidumileyo ukuba zimembathise lowo muntu inkosi ethanda ukumdumisa , zimkhwelise ehhashini esigcawini somuzi , zimemeze phambi kwakhe ngokuthi : Uyakwenzelwa kanjalo umuntu inkosi ethanda ukumdumisa.

ngokuba kuthe ngisiwe ngathi , mina nesizwe sakithi , ukuba sichithwe , sibulawe, sibhubhe. Uma bekuthengisiwe ngathi sibe yizigqila nezigqilakazi kuphela, ngabe ngithulile , ngokuba usizi lwethu alwanele ukuba sisinde inkosi.

inkosi eyavumela ngakho abaJuda ababesemizini ngemizi ukuba babuthane, bamele ukuphila kwabo , bachithe, babulale, babhubhise onke amabutho abantu nawesifunda abahlaselayo, izingane nabesifazane, impahla yabo ibe yimpango,

Impinda yokulotshiweyo yanikwa ukuba ibe yisimemezelo ezifundeni zonke, kumenyezelwe kubantu bonke ukuba abaJuda bazilungiselele lolo suku, baziphindisele ezitheni zabo.

U-Esteri waqhubeka wakhuluma phambi kwenkosi , wawa ngasezinyaweni zayo, wakhala, wayinxusa ukuba ibususe ububi bukaHamani umAgagi necebo lakhe ayelicebe ngabaJuda.

Wathi: Uma kukuhle enkosini , noma ngifumene umusa phambi kwayo , noma le nto ilungile phambi kwenkosi , uma ngithandeka emehlweni ayo , makulotshwe ukuba zibuyiswe izincwadi zamacebo kaHamani indodana kaHamedatha umAgagi azilobayo ukuba bachithwe abaJuda abasezifundeni zenkosi;

Ngenyanga yeshumi nambili eyinyanga ka -Adari ngosuku lweshumi nantathu lwayo , lapho kusond ela izwi lenkosi nomthetho wayo ukuba kwenziwe, ngosuku izitha zabaJuda ezazethembile ngalo ukubusa phezu kwabo nokho kwaguqulwa ukuze abaJuda babuse phezu kwababazondayo.

Inkosi yasho ukuba kwenziwe kanjalo ; umthetho washaywa eShushani ; bawaphanyeka amadodana ayishumi kaHamani.

AbaJuda babuthana emizini yabo ezifundeni zonke zenkosi u -Ahashiveroshi ukuba babek e izandla kulabo ababefuna ukubalimaza ; akubangakho ongamelana nabo, ngokuba abantu bonke babehlelwe yingebhe ngabo.

ukumisa ukuba bagcine usuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga ka -Adari nosuku lweshumi nanhlanu lwayo iminyaka yonke

ngokuba uHamani indodana kaHamedat ha umAgagi , isitha sabo bonke abaJuda, wayecebile ngabaJuda ukuba abachithe , waphonsa iPhure elinyinkatho ukuba abanqobe, abachithe;
