Base bememeza ngezwi elikhulu , bazisika ngawomese nangemikhonto ngomthetho wabo, kwaze kwatshaza igazi kubo.

U-Izebeli wayesethuma isithunywa ku -Eliya ngokuthi : Mabenze njalo kimi onkulunkulu, benezele futhi , uma ngingakwenzi wena ube njengomunye wabo ngalesi sikhathi kusasa.

Bonke abantu benyuka emva kwakhe , abantu babetha imitshingo . Bathokoza ngokuthokoza okukhulu, kwaze kwangathi kuqhekezeka umhlaba ngomsindo wabo.

Izinceku zenkosi yama -Aramu zathi kuyo : Unkulunkulu wabo ungunkulunkulu wezintaba , ngalokho basahlula ; kepha masilwe nabo ethafeni, impela siyakubahlula.

Isithunywa ebesihambile ukumbiza uMikhaya sakhuluma kuye , sathi: Bheka, amazwi abaprofethi mahle enkosini ngamlomo munye ; ngalokho izwi lakho malibe njengezwi lomunye wabo, ukhulume okuhle.

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.

mawuzwe wena ezulwini umkhuleko wabo nokunxusa kwabo, ubavume.

uma bephendukela kuwe ngayo yonke inhliziyo yabo nangawo wonke umphefumulo wabo ezweni lezitha zab o ezabathumba , bakhuleke kuwe bebhekene nezwe lakubo owalinika oyise , umuzi owukhethileyo , nendlu engiyakhele igama lakho,

mawuzwe wena ezulwini , indawo yakho yokuhlala , umkhuleko wabo nokunxusa kwabo, ubavume,

Bayakuphendula ngokuthi : Kungokuba bamshiya uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo owakhipha oyise ezweni laseGibithe , banamathela kwabanye onkulunkulu, bakhuleka kubo , babakhonza; ngalokho uJehova ubehl isele konke lokho okubi. UHiramu uphiwa imizi

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

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

nokunikela njalo ngayo yonke iminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova ngamasabatha, nangokwethwasa kwenyanga , nanemikhosi emisiweyo ngomumo onjengomthetho wabo, phambi kukaJehova;

Umumo wabo kanye nabafowabo ababefundisiwe ukuhlabelela kuJehova nabayizazi wawungamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisishiyagalo mbili nesishiyagalombili.

Nampa abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ngomumo wabo , izinhloko zawoyise, nezinduna zezinkulungwane nezamakhulu , nezinduna zabo ezazikhonza inkosi kukho konke okwezigaba , ezazingena, ziphuma inyanga ngenyanga ezinyangeni zonke zomnyaka ; kuleso naleso sigaba zazikhona izinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nane.

UShimeyi wayenamadodana ayishumi nesithupha namadodakazi ayisithupha; kepha abafowabo babengenabantwana abaningi , nomndeni wabo awandanga njengabantwana bakwaJuda.

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

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.

Kepha abanye , abahlabeleli, izinhloko zezindlu zawoyise zamaLevi , babe semakamelweni bekhululekile kokunye , ngokuba babe semsebenzini wabo imini nobusuku.

ngokuzenzisa kwabaqamba amanga abashiswe uphawu kunembeza wabo,

Abanabanumzane abakho lwayo bangabadeleli , ngokuba bengabazalwane, kodwa kube yikhona bebakhonza kakhulu , ngokuba bengabakholwayo nabathandekayo labo abasizakala ngomsebenzi wabo . Wofundisa lezo zinto , uyale ngazo. Isifundiso masibe ngesiqinisileyo

Kanjalo uma nona kubazalwane , nilimaza unembeza wabo obuthakathaka, niyona kuKristu.

Kepha lokho kwazi akukho kubo bonke . Kodwa abanye, lokhu bejwayelene nezithombe kuze kube manje , bakudla njengokuhlatshelwe isithombe , nonembeza wabo obuthakathaka uyangcola.

nibazisise kakhulu othandweni ngenxa yomsebenzi wabo . Hlalisanani ngokuthula.

Kepha bakhohlwa uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, wathengisa ngabo esandleni sikaSisera induna yempi yaseHasori , nasesandleni samaFilisti , nasesandleni senkosi yakwaMowabi, balwa nabo.

USawule wathuma izithunywa ukumthatha uDavide ; lapho zibona iviyo labaprofethi beprofetha , uSamuweli emi engumholi wabo , uMoya kaNkulunkulu wazehlela izithunywa zikaSawule, nazo zaprofetha.

Inkosi u-Ahazi yamyala u -Uriya umpristi ngokuthi : Shisa e-altare elikhulu umnikelo wokushiswa wasekuseni , nomnikelo wempuphu wakusihlwa , nomnikelo wokushiswa wenkosi , nomnikelo wayo wempuphu kanye nomnikelo wokushiswa wabo bonke abantu bezwe , nomnikelo wabo wempuphu, neminikelo yabo yokuphuzwa , ulifafaze ngalo lonke igazi lomnikelo wokushiswa nalo lonke igazi lomhlatshelo ; kodwa i-altare lethusi liyakuba ngelami ukubuza ngalo.

Kepha abalalelanga ; benza lukhuni intamo yabo njengentamo yawoyise abangakholwanga nguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo.

Bashiya yonke imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunku lu wabo, bazenzela izithombe ezibunjiweyo, amathole amabil i, benza no -Ashera, bakhuleka kulo lonke ibandla lasezulwini, bakhonza uBali.

Naye uJuda akagcinanga imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo , kepha wahamba ngezimiso zakwa-Israyeli azenzileyo.

Kuze kube namuhla benza njengemithetho yakuqala : abamesabi uJehova, abenzi njengezimiso , nezimemezelo zabo, nomthetho wabo , nemiyalo yabo uJehova ayala ngayo abantwana bakwaJakobe amutha u-Israyeli,

Kwaba njalo , ngokuba abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babonile kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabo owabakhuphula ezweni laseGibithe esandleni sikaFaro inkosi yaseGibithe, besaba abanye onkulunkulu,

ngokuba abalalelanga izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo , kepha beqa isivumelwano sakhe ; konke ayala ngakho uMose inceku kaJehova kabavumanga ukukulalela nokukwenza.

Kepha uRabi Shake wathi kubo : Inkosi yami ingithumile yini enkosini yakho nakuwena ukukhuluma lawa mazwi na ? Hhayi kulaba bantu yini abahlezi ogangeni ukuba badle amasimba abo , baphuze umshobingo wabo kanye nani, na?

Bangena esivumelwaneni sokumfuna uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoy ise ngayo yonke inhliziyo yabo nangawo wonke umphefumulo wabo,

Base besukuma abapristi namaLevi , bababusisa abantu ; izwi labo lezwakala, nomkhuleko wabo wafika endaweni yakhe engcwele ezulwini.

ngaphandle kwabesilisa ababhaliweyo ngezizukulwane zabo , kusukela kwabaneminyaka emithathu kuya phezulu , bonke ababengena endlini kaJehova ngendaba yomsebenzi wabo wemihla ngemihla ngezimfanelo zabo nezigaba zabo;

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli nabakwaJuda ababehlala emizini yakwaJuda baletha nabo okweshumi kwezinkabi nezimv u nokweshumi kwezinto ezingcwele ezazingcweliselwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo , bakubeka izinqwaba ngezinqwaba.

Nokho abantu babesahlaba ezindaweni eziphakemeyo , kodwa kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabo kuphela.

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.

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.

mawuzwe wena ezulwini umkhuleko wabo nokunxusa kwabo, ubavume.

uma bephendukela kuwe ngayo yonke inhliziyo yabo nangawo wonke umphefumulo wabo ezweni lokuthunjwa kwabo, lapho bebathumbele khona, bakhuleke bebhekene nezwe lakubo owalinika oyise , nomuzi owukhethileyo, nendlu engiyakhele igama lakho,

mawuzwe wena ezulwini , indawo yakho yokuhlala , umkhuleko wabo nokunxusa kwabo, ubavume, uthethelele abantu bakho abonile kuwe.

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

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

Abantu bambona, bamtusa unkulunkulu wabo, ngokuba bathi: Unkulunkulu wethu unikele esandleni sethu isitha sethu nomchithi wezwe lakithi obulele abaningi phakathi kwethu.

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.

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , bamkhohlwa uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, bakhonza oBali no-Ashitaroti.

Kwathi esefile uGideyoni , abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babuye baphinga nawoBali, bamenza uBali Beriti unkulunkulu wabo.

Baya endle , bavuna izivini zabo , banyathela imivini , bagubha umkhosi , bangena endlini kankulunkulu wabo , badla, baphuza, bamqalekisa u - Abimeleki.

wanaka umkhuleko wabangenalutho, engawudeleli umthandazo wabo.

Zona zadla imifino yonke yezwe lakubo , zaqothula nezithelo zomhlabathi wabo.

Umphefumulo wabo wenyanya konke ukudla ; basondela emasangweni okufa.

Belambile, bomile, umphefumulo wabo waphela amandla phakathi kwabo.

Abezizwe bayakusho ngani ukuthi: “Uphi manje uNkulunkulu wabo na?”

Ngingumngane wabo bonke abakwesabayo, abagcina iziyalezo zakho.

Ngokuba bhekani , ababi bawunsala umnsalo wabo , babeka imicibisholo yabo entanjeni ukuba bacibishele ebumnyameni abaqotho ngenhliziyo.

Maqondana nesihlungu sabangizungezay o mabambozwe ngububi bomlomo wabo.

Ngikhulule, ungophule esandleni sabafokaz i abamlomo wabo ukhuluma inkohliso, nesandla sabo sokunene singesokunene samanga.

babusisiwe abantu abanjalo ; babusisiwe abantu abaNkulunkulu wabo unguJehova.

abamlomo wabo ukhuluma inkohliso , nesandla sabo sokunene singesokunene samanga.

Ukumphakamisa uNkulunkulu makube semlonyeni wabo , nenkemba esika nhlangothi zombili esandleni sabo,

Bavalelwe ngamanoni abo, bakhuluma ngokuzidla ngomlomo wabo.

ukuba akhulule umphefumulo wabo ekufeni, abaphilise endlaleni.

Yebo, bangikhamisela kakhulu umlomo wabo , bathi: Ashila, ashila, iso lethu liyabona!

Le ndlela yabo ingubuwula babo , balandelwa ngabavumela umlomo wabo . Sela

labo abathemba imfuyo yabo bezigabisa ngomcebo wabo omkhulu, na?

Ngokuba ukuhlengwa komphefumulo wabo kubiza kakhulu ; akunakuphela nanini

Yaphula amazinyo abo emlonyeni wabo , Nkulunkulu! Phohloza amazinyo omhlathi ezingonyama ezingamabhongo, Jehova!

Bheka, bayampompa ngomlomo wabo, kukhona izinkemba ezindebeni zabo, ngokuba bathi: Ngubani ozwayo na?

Ngokuba alikho iqiniso emlonyeni wabo ; izibilini zabo zingukonakala : umphimbo wabo uyithuna elivulekileyo; bayathopha ngolimi lwabo.

Yebo, bathunga icebo lokumwisa ekuphakameni kwakhe, bathanda amanga; bayabusisa ngomlomo wabo, kepha ezibilinini zabo bayaqalekisa. Sela

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

Umuzi wabo mawuchitheke; makungabikho ohlala ematendeni abo.

Iyakukhulula umphefumulo wabo okhahlweni nasendluzuleni ; igazi labo liyakuba yigugu emehlweni ayo.

Njengephupho ekuphaphameni , Nkosi, uyakudelela umfanekiso wabo ekuvukeni kwakho.

Ngakho-ke iqholo lingumnaka wabo; indluzula ibembesa njengengubo.

Umlomo wabo bawup hakamisela ezulwini ; ulimi lwabo luhambela emhlabeni.

Bebengakahlukani nokufisa kwabo, ukudla kwabo kusesemlonyeni wabo,

Base bekhumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyidwala labo ; uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ungumkhululi wabo.

Kepha bamthopha ngomlomo wabo, baqamba amanga kuye ngolimi lwabo;

Wanika imiswenya ukudla kwabo, nomsebenzi wabo isikhonyane.

Walungisela intukuthelo yakhe indlela ; akaphephisanga umphefumulo wabo ekufeni, kepha wanikela ukuphila kwabo ezifweni.

Bangasholoni abezizwe ukuthi : Uphi uNkulunkulu wabo na ? Makwazeke kwabezizwe emehlweni ethu ukuphindiselwa kwegazi lezinceku zakho elichithiweyo.

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

Uma kukhona ofuna ukona laba , kuphuma umlilo emlonyeni wabo , udle izitha zabo, uziqede; yebo, uma kukhona ofuna ukona laba , kumelwe ukuba abulawe kanjalo.

nasemlonyeni wabo akufunyaniswanga amanga; kabanasici. Izingelosi ezintathu zimemezela ukwahlulela

Ngazibiza izithandwa zami, zangikhohlisa. Abapristi bami namalunga ami bafela emzini, besafuna ukudla ukuba babuyise umphefumulo wabo.

Abacebileyo nabampofu bahlangene; uJehova ungumenzi wabo bonke.

ngokuba uJehova uyakumela indaba yabo , aphuce ababaphucayo umphefumulo wabo.

ngokuba kungukuphila kwabakufumanayo nempilo yomzimba wonke wabo.

lokhu wayemsebenzi munye nabo , wahlala nabo , basebenza. Ngokuba umsebenzi wabo kwakungukuthunga amatende.

Ngathi ngifuna ukwazi icala abayimangalela ngalo , ngayehlisela emphakathini wabo;

Kwabahlanzekileyo konke kuhlanzekile ; kepha kwabangcolileyo nabangakholwayo akukho lutho oluhlanzekileyo , kodwa kungcole ingqondo yabo nonembeza wabo.

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

nasebandleni lamazibulo abhaliwe ezulwini , nakuNkulunkulu, uMahluleli wabo bonke, nakuyo imimoya yabalungileyo abaphelelisiweyo,

Ngokuba yilesi esiyisivumelwano engiyakusenza nendlu ka -Israyeli emva kwalezo zinsuku , isho iNkosi : ngiyakufaka imithetho yami engqondweni yabo, ngiyilobe ezinhliziyweni zabo, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami.

Abasayikufundisa kube yilowo nalowo owakubo , nalowo umfowabo , ngokuthi: Yazi INkosi; ngokuba bonke bayakungazi, kusukela komncane kuze kufike komkhulu wabo.

munye uNkulunkulu , uYise wabo bonke , ophezu kwabo bonke , okubo bonke, ophakathi kwabo bonke.

abakuphela kwabo ngukubhujiswa , abankulunkulu wabo yisisu , nodumo lwabo lusehlazweni labo, abangabanaka okomhlaba.

kufiphazwe amehlo abo ukuba angaboni, ugobe umhlane wabo njalo. Ngokungakholwa kuka-Israyeli insindiso yafika kwabezizwe

Ngokuba nxa abezizwe abangenawo umthetho ngokwemvelo benza okomthetho, laba, bengenawo umthetho, bangumthetho wabo ngokwabo,

babonakalisa ukuthi umsebenzi womthetho ulotshiwe ezinhliziyweni zabo, nonembeza wabo uyafakaza naye , imicabango yabo imangalelana noma ivunana,

Umphimbo wabo uyiliba elivulekileyo , ngezilimi zabo bayakhohlisa , isihlungu sezinyoka siphansi kwezindebe zabo;

umlomo wabo ugcwele ukuthuka nokubaba;

Wasamukela isibonakaliso sokusoka , sibe luphawu lokulunga kokukholwa ayenakho engakasoki , ukuba abe nguyise wabo bonke abakholwayo bengasokile, ukuze ukulunga kubalelwe kubona,

Kepha othile wabo , uKayafase, engumpristi omkhulu walowo mnyaka , wathi kubo: Anazi lutho nina;

Mina nganithumela ukuvuna lokho eningakusebenzanga; abanye basebenzile, nina-ke ningene emsebenzini wabo.

Wayesethi kubo uNikodemu owake weza kuye engomunye wabo:

Abaningi kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli uyakubaphendulela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabo.

Emva kwesikhashana omunye wambona , wathi: Nawe ungomunye wabo . Kepha uPetru wathi: Muntundini, angisiye.

Kwathi sekusile, kwabuthana amalunga abantu nabapristi abakhulu nababhali, bamyisa emphakathini wabo,

Kwakukhona abelusi kulelo zwe ababehlezi endle , belinda umhlambi wabo ebusuku.

Basukuma, bamxosha emzini, bamqhubela ekwengameni kwentaba umuzi wabo owakhiwe phezu kwayo, ukuze bamkhalakathelisele phansi.

Intombazana imbona yabuye yaqala ukusho kwababemi khona ukuthi: Lona ungomunye wabo.

Kepha waphinda waphika. Emva kwesikhashana futhi ababemi khona bathi kuPetru: Nempela ungomunye wabo, ngokuba ungowaseGalile.

Khona abalungileyo bayakukhanya njengelanga embusweni kaYise wabo . Onezindlebe makezwe.

Waphendula, wathi komunye wabo : M ngane, angikoni; kanti asivumelananga ngodenariyu na?

Omunye wabo, isazimthetho, wamlinga, wathi:

Kepha inkosi yathukuthela, yathuma amabutho ayo, yabulala labo babulali, yashisa umuzi wabo.

babopha imithwalo enz ima, bayibeke emahlombe abantu ; kepha bona abavumi ukuyifukula ngomunwe wabo.

Emva kwesikhashana ababemi khona basondela , bathi kuPetru : Nempela nawe ungomunye wabo, ngokuba nokukhuluma kwakho kuyakudalula.

Futhi nxa nizila ukudla , ninganyukumali njengabazenzisi ; ngokuba bona banyakamisa ubuso babo, ukuze babonakale kubantu ukuthi bazilile . Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewamukele umvuzo wabo.

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.

bacambalale ezingutsheni ezithathwe zaba yisibambiso eceleni kwawo onke ama-altare, baphuze iwayini labahlawulisiweyo endlini kaNkulunkulu wabo.

Dlulelani eKaline, nibone; nisuke lapho, niye eHamati elikhulu, bese nehlela eGati lamaFilisti ; bahle kunale mibuso yini , umkhawulo wabo mkhulu kunomkhawulo wenu na?

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?

Inkosi yaseGibithe yakhuluma kubabelethisi bamaHeberukazi , igama lomunye wabo linguShifira, elomunye linguPhuwa,

kuyakuba ngokuka-Aroni nokwamadodana akhe, kube yimfanelo ephakade kwabakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba kungum nikelo wokuphakanyiswa ; koba ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa wabantwana bakwa -Israyeli womhlatshelo weminikelo yabo yokuthula, umnikelo wabo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova.

Ngiyakuhlala phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo.

Bayakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo , owabakhipha ezweni laseGibithe, ukuba ngihlale phakathi kwabo ; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo.

Kwase kusuka izinhloko zawoyise bakwaJuda noBenjamini , nabapristi, namaLevi, bonke abamoya wabo uNkulunkulu ayewuvusile ukuba bakhuphuke bakhe indlu kaJehova eseJerusalema.

Kepha iso likaNkulunkulu wabo laliphezu kwamalunga abaJuda , ababathiyanga, ize iye leyo ndaba kuDariyu , kubuyiselwe impendulo ngayo ngencwadi.

kanye nalo lonke isiliva negolide oyakukufumana ezweni lonke laseBabele , neminikelo yesihle yabantu neyabapristi , benikelela ngesihle indlu kaNkulunkulu wabo eseJerusalema.

Ngabathuma k u-Ido, inhloko yasendaweni yaseKhasifiya , ngabeka emlonyeni wabo amazwi abayakuwakhuluma ku -Ido nakubafowabo amaNethini endaweni yaseKhasifiya ukuba basilethele izinceku zendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu.

Ngalolo suku abantu bayakumbheka uMenzi wabo , namehlo abo ayakumbuka oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

Ngokuba usho kanje kimi uJehova , uthi: Njengengonyama ebhongayo , ibhongo lengonyama phezu kwempango yalo , lapho abelusi abaningi belibizelwe, aliyikwesaba izwi labo , lingazithobi ngomsindo wabo , kanjalo uJehova Sebawoti uyakwehl a ukuba alwe entabeni yaseSiyoni nasegqumeni layo.

Kepha uRabi Shake wathi : Inkosi yami ingithumile yini enkosini yakho nakuwena ukukhuluma lawamazwi na ? Hhayi kulaba bantu yini abahlezi ogangeni ukuba badle amasimba abo, baphuze umshobingo wabo kanye nani, na?

Ngokuba mina Jehova ngithanda ukulunga , ngizonda ukuphanga kanye nokubi; ngiyakubanika umvuzo wabo ngeqiniso , ngenze isivumelwano esiphakade nabo.

Wathi: Nempela bangabantu bami , abantwana abangakhohlisi , waba ngumsindisi wabo.

ububi babo nobubi bawoyise kanyekanye , usho uJehova, abashisa impepho ezintabeni, bangihlambalaza emagqumeni; ngiyakulinganisa kuqala umvuzo wabo ezifubeni zabo.

Bayakuletha bonke a bafowenu bebakhipha ezizweni zonke ngamahhashi, nangezinqola, nangezinhlaka, nangeminyuzi, nangamakamela, babe ngumnikelo kaJehova , beze entabeni yami engcwele eJerusalema , usho uJehova, njengalokhu abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bewuletha umnikelo wabo ngesitsha esihlambulukileyo endlini kaJehova.

Bayakuphuma, babone izidumbu zabantu abaphambukile kimi , ngokuba impethu yabo ayiyikufa nomlilo wabo awuyikucima , babe yisinengiso kuyo yonke inyama.

Lapho bethi kini : Funani kwabanamadlozi nakubathakathi ababetha imilozi, banyenyeze pho , abantu abayikufuna uNkulunkulu wabo yini ? Kuyiwe kwabafileyo ngabaphilayo na?

Bayakudabula izwe bexinekile , belambile; kuyakuthi lapho belamba , bavuke ulaka, bathuke inkosi yabo noNkulunkulu wabo, babheke phezulu.

Ngokuba ijoka lomthwalo wabo , nenduku yama hlombe abo , noswazi lomhluphi wabo uyakwaphula njengasosukwini lukaMidiyani.

Ngosuku owema kude ngalo , ngosuku abafokazi abasusa ngalo imfuyo yakhe, nabezizwe bangena ngamasango akhe , benza inkatho ngeJerusalema, nawe wawunjengomunye wabo.

Iyakonakalisa ngokuthopha abaphatha kabi isivumelwano , kepha abantu abamaziyo uNkulunkulu wabo bayakuba namandla, baphikelele.

UNebukadinesari wakhuluma wathi : Makabongwe uNkulunkulu wawoShadiraki, noMeshaki, no-Abedi Nego , othumile ingelosi yakhe , wakhulula izin ceku zakhe ebezimethemba , zaze zaguqula izwi lenkosi, zanikela imizimba yazo ukuba zingakhonzi , zingakhuleki kunkulunkulu noyedwa, uNkulunkulu wabo kuphela.

Phezu kwazo wamisa abongameli abathathu , uDaniyeli engomunye wabo , ukuba izikhulu zibike kubo, ukuze inkosi ingalimali ngalutho.

Inkosi yayaleza, alethwa lawo madoda ayemangalele uDaniyeli , aphonswa emphandwini wezingonyama , wona nabantwana bawo , nawomkawo; izingonyama zatheleka phezu k wabo, zachoboza amathambo abo , bengakafinyeleli phansi emphandwini.

Abantu abathile abonakeleyo baphumile phakathi kwakho , bahlubukisile abomuzi wabo ngokuthi: Masiye sikhonze abanye onkulunkulu eningabaziyo,

Uma abazalwane behlala ndawonye omunye wabo afe engenandodana , umfazi wofileyo akayikugana umfokazi ongaphandle ; kepha umfowabo wendoda yakhe uyakungena kuye, amthathe abe ngumkakhe, amngene.

ababedla amanoni emihlatshelo yabo , beliphuza iwayini lomnikelo wabo wokuphuzwa, na? Mabavuke, banisize, babe yisivikelo senu.

Ngiyakunika wena nenzalo yakho emva kwakho izwe ohlala kulo ungumfokazi, izwe lonke laseKhanani , libe yifa laphakade , ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo. Ukusoka

OHamori noShekemi indodana yakhe beza ngasesangweni lomuzi , bakhuluma namadoda omuzi wabo, bathi:

U-Adamu wamqamba umkakhe igama lokuthi u -Eva, ngokuba waba ngunina wabo bonke abaphilayo.

Ungangeni emkhandlwini wabo, mphefumulo wami; ungahlangani nebandla labo, nhliziyo yami , ngokuba ngolaka lwabo babulala abantu ; ngobudlova babo basika izinkabi umsipha.

Igama lomfowabo lalinguJubale; yena waba nguyise wabo bonke ababetha ihabhu nomtshingo.

Kodwa elenu igazi okukulo umphefumulo wenu ngiyakulibiza ; kuzo zonke izilwane ngiyakulibiza ; nakubo bonke abantu ngiyakubiza umphefumulo wabo, owomunye esandleni somunye.

Ugwaza ikhanda lomholi wabo ngeyakhe imicibisholo , lapho besondela njengesivunguvungu ukungihlakaza , bejabula njengabayakudla ompofu ngasese.

UZerubabele indodana kaSheyali tiyeli noJoshuwa indodana kaJehosadaki , umpristi omkhulu , nayo yonke insali yabantu balalela izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo namazwi kaHagayi umprofethi , njengokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo emthumile; abantu besaba phambi kukaJehova.

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

ukuba bahambe ngezimi so zami , bagcine izahlulelo zami , bazenze, babe ngabantu bami, mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo.

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Wo kubaprofethi abayiziwula , abalandela umoya wabo nabangakubonanga!

ukuze indlu yakwa -Israyeli ingabe isaduka kimi , ingabe isazingcolisa ngeziphambeko zayo zonke , kepha ibe ngabantu bami , mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Lapho ngangibangenise ezweni engaphakamisela isandla sami ukubanika lona, bebona amagquma onke aphakemeyo nayo yonke imithi edumbileyo , bese benikela khona ngemihlatshelo yabo , banika khona isicunulo somnikelo wabo, babeka lapho iphunga labo elimnandi, bathulula khona iminikelo yabo yokuphuzwa.

Wena ndodana yomuntu, angithi kuyakwenzeka mhla ngisusa inqaba yabo, intokozo nobuhle babo , okunxanelekayo emehlweni abo , nababeke umphefumulo wabo kukho, amadodana abo namadodakazi abo,

Bayakuhlala kulo belondekile, bakhe izindlu, batshale izivini, yebo, bahlale ngokulondeka, lapho ngenza ukwahlulela kubo bonke abanamafundululu kubo phakathi kwababahaqayo , bazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo.

Ndodana yomuntu, khuluma kubantwana babantu bakho, uthi kubo: Lapho ngehlisela phezu kwezwe inkemba , abantu bezwe bese bethatha umuntu phakathi kwabo, bambeke umlindi wabo,

Bafika kuwe njengokufika kwabantu, bahlala phambi kwakho njengabantu bami, bezwa amazwi akho , abawenzi kodwa , ngokuba ngomlomo wabo babonakalisa uthando olukhulu, kepha inhliziyo yabo ilandela inzuzo yabo.

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bhekani, ngimelene nabelusi, ngiyakuzibiza izimvu zami esandleni sabo , ngenze ukuba bangabe besazalusa izimvu , abelusi bangabe besazibonelela bona, ngophule izimvu zami emlonyeni wabo, zingabi ngukudla kwabo.

Abasayikuzingcolisa ngezithombe zabo , nangokuzondekayo kwabo , nangesisodwa seziphambeko zabo , kepha ngiyakubasindisa kukho konke ukuhlehla kwabo abone ngakho, ngibahlambulule, baze babe ngabantu bami, mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo.

Itabernakele lami liyakuba phezu kwabo; ngiyakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami.

Isiyakwazi indlu yakwa-Israyeli ukuthi nginguJeho va uNkulunkulu wabo , kusukela kulolo suku kuya phambili.

Bayakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNk ulunkulu wabo ngokubathumba kwami phakathi kwezizwe , nangokuba ngababutha ezweni lakubo ; angisayikushiya muntu wabo khona;

bebeka umbundu wabo ngasembundwi ni wami , nensika yabo yomnyango eceleni kwensika yami , kube ludo nga kuphela phakathi kwami nabo , belingcolisa igama lami elingcwele ngezinengiso zabo abazenzileyo , okungalokho ngabaqeda ngolaka lwami.

Kepha indlu yakwaJuda ngiyakuyihawukela, ngibasindise ngoJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, ngingabasindisi ngomnsalo, nangenkemba, nangokulwa, nangamahhashi, nangabamahhashi.

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

Abantu bami babuza emthini, induku yabo ibatshele , ngokuba umoya wobufebe ubadukisile, basuka phansi kukaNkulunkulu wabo ngokufeba.

Badla izono zabantu bami, babhekisa umphefumulo wabo ebubini babo.

Abahlubuki bashone phansi ngokuhlaba kwabo , kepha ngingumlayi wabo bonke.

Ukuzidla kuka -Israyeli kuyafakaza ebusweni bakhe , nokho ababuyelanga kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, abamfunanga kukho konke lokhu.

Lapho sebeshisile izinhliziyo zabo ngamacebo zibe njengeziko , umphekisinkwa wabo ulala ubusuku bonke ; ekuseni liyavutha njengomlilo wamalangabi.

Ngokuba abelusi b ayiziphukuphuku, abamfunanga uJehova ; ngalokho abaphumelelanga, nomhlambi wabo wonke uhlakazekile.

Ubatshalile, futhi bagxilile; bayakhula, bathela izithelo; useduze nomlomo wabo, kepha ukude nezinhliziyo zabo.

Bayakuthi: Ngokuba basishiya isivumelwano sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, bakhuleka kwabanye onkulunkulu, babakhonza.

Ngiyakubanika inhliziyo yokungazi ukuthi nginguJehova ; bayakuba ngabantu bami , mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo , ngokuba bayakubuyela kimi ngenhliziyo yabo yonke.

kepha bakhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo , noDavide inkosi yabo engiyakubavusela yena.

Bayakufika, bahlabelele ngokujabul a ekuphakameni kwaseSiyoni , bagobhozele kukho okuhle kukaJehova , yebo, emabeleni, nasewayinini, nasemafutheni, nakuwo amazinyane e zimvu nawezinkomo , umphefumulo wabo ube njengensimu eniselweyo, bangabe besaba nosizi futhi.

Kepha yilesi esiyisivumelwano engizakusenza nendlu ka -Israyeli emva kwalezo zinsuku , usho uJehova: ngiyakufaka umthetho wami ezibilinini zabo, ngiwulobe ezinhliziyweni zabo, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami;

babe ngabantu bami, mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo,

Izwi liyezwakala emadul ini angenalutho , ukukhala nokukhuleka kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba bayihlanekezele indlela yabo , bakhohlwa uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo.

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

Kepha umkhululi wabo unamandla , nguJehova Sebawoti igama lakhe ; uyakumela nokumela indaba yab o ukuba aphumuze umhlaba , anyakazise abakhileyo eBabele.

Ngalezo zinsuku nangaleso sikhathi , usho uJehova, bayakufika abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, bona nabantwana bakwaJuda kanyekanye, behamba bekhala, befuna uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo.

Ngokuba o -Israyeli noJud a abashiywanga nguNkulunkulu wabo , uJehova Sebawoti, noma izwe labo ligcwele icala koNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

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

Sengiyakuya kwabakhulu , ngikhulume nabo , ngokuba bona bayayazi indlela kaJehov a nokwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu wabo ; Kepha bona babelaphulile ijoka kanyekanye, bazigqabulile izibopho.

Ulimi lwabo lungumcibisholo obulalayo , lukhuluma inkohliso; bakhuluma kahle ngomlomo wabo kumakhelwane wabo , kepha ezinhliziyweni bayamqamekela.

Amatende abacindezelayo anokuthula ; abathukuthelisayo uNkulunkulu bayalondeka, abaletha unkulunkulu wabo ngezandla zabo.

Uyachitha amacebo abanobuqili , ukuze izandla zabo zi ngabi nakufeza umgomo wabo.

Ompofu usenethemba; ububi buvala umlomo wabo.

UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa : Ungabesabi, ngokuba ngibanikele ezandleni zakho; akuyikubakho muntu wabo ongema phambi kwakho.

Umkhawulo wabo wasuka e -Aroweri eliseceleni kwesigodi sase -Arinoni, nomuzi ophakathi nesigodi, nalo lonke ithafa ngaseMedeba,

Umkhawulo wabo wawuyiJazeri, nayo yonke imizi yakwaGileyadi , nenxenye yezwe labantwana bakwa -Amoni, kuze kufike e -Aroweri elingaphambi kweRaba,

Umkhawulo wabo wasuka eMahanayimi : lonke iBashani , wonke umbuso ka-Ogi inkosi yaseBashani , nayo yon ke imizi yeJayire eseBashani , imizi engamashumi ayisithupha,

Umkhawulo wabo waseningizimu wasuka ekupheleni koLwandle Lukasawoti, ethekwini elibheka ngaseningizimu,

Umkhawulo wabo ngasohlangothini lwasenyakatho waphuma eJordani ; umkhawulo wenyuka eceleni kweJeriko ngasenyakatho , wakhuphukela ezintabeni ngasentshonalanga; ukuphuma kwawo kwakungasehlane laseBeti Aveni.

umkhawulo wabo wenyukela ngasentshonalanga kuze kube seMarala , wafinyelela naseDabesheti , wafinyelela nasemfuleni ongasempumalanga kwaseJokineyamu,

Umkhawulo wabo wawuyiJizreyeli, neKesuloti, neShunemi,

umkhawulo wafinyelela eThabori , naseShahasuma, naseBeti Shemeshi ; ukuphuma komkhawulo wabo kwakuseJordani , imizi iyishumi nesithupha nemizana yayo.

Umkhawulo wabo wawuyiHelikati, neHali, neBetheni, ne-Akishafu,

Umkhawulo wabo wasuka eHelefi , kulo i-oki laseSahananimi, nase-Adami Nekebi, naseJabineyeli, waze wafika eLakumi ; ukuphuma kwawo kwakungaseJordani;

Amadoda ayesethatha emphakweni wabo engabuzanga umlomo kaJehova.

nezicathulo ezigugileyo eziciciyelweyo zisezinyaweni zabo , bembethe nezingubo ezigugileyo; isinkwa sonke somphako wabo sasomile, sikhuntile.

Abapristi, izikhonzi zikaJehova, mabakhale phakathi kompheme ne -altare, bathi: Hawukela abantu bakho , Jehova, unganikeli isabelo sakho sibe yinhlamba, ukuze abezizwe bababhinqe ; yini ukuba basho phakathi kwabantu, bathi: Uphi uNkulunkulu wabo na?

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

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

Futhi kubantwana babafokazi abagogobeleyo kini , kubona niyakuthenga nakwabomndeni wabo abakini ababazalile ezweni lakini, babe yifa lenu.

Izwe liyakushiywa yibo , lithokoze ngamasabatha alo , lisahlezi lichithekile, lingenabo; bayakwamukela isijeziso sobubi b abo, ngokuba, yebo, ngokuba balahla izahlulelo zami nangokuba umphefumulo wabo wanengwa yizimiso zami.

Kepha uma kunjalo , sebekhona ezweni lezitha zabo , angiyikubalahla, nginganengwa yibo , ukuze ngibaqothule , ngisaphule isivumelwano sami nabo, ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo;

kepha ngenxa yabo ngiyakukhumbula isivumelwano sawokhokho babo engabakhipha ezweni laseGibithe emehlweni ezizwe ukuba ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo; nginguJehova.

Usho kanje uJehova : Ngabaprofethi abadukisa abantu bami , abathi, bese nakho okokuhlafuna ngamazinyo abo, bamemeze bathi: Ukuthula, nongabeki lutho emlonyeni wabo bamlungisele ukulwa.

Abacebileyo bawo bagcwele ubudlova , nabakhileyo kuwo bakhuluma amanga, nolimi lwabo lunenkohliso emlonyeni wabo.

Abezizwe bayakubona , babe namahloni ngamandla abo onke , babeke isandla sabo emlonyeni wabo, izindlebe zabo zibe yizithulu.

Omuhle wabo unjengobobe , olungileyo mubi kunothango lwameva ; usuku lwabalindi bakho nolokuhanjelwa kwakho lufikile ; sekuyakuba ngukukhungatheka kubo.

nabafowabo, amaqhawe anamandla , beyikhulu namashumi amabili nesishiyagalombili; umbonisi wabo wayenguZabidiyeli , indodana kaHagedolimi.

noMahaseya, noShemaya, no-Eleyazare, no-Uzi, noJehohanani, noMalikhiya, no-Elamu, no-Ezeri. Abahlabeleli bahlabelela ngokuzwakalisayo, benoJizirahiya umbonisi wabo.

Bagcina imfanelo kaNkulunkulu wabo nemfanelo yokuhlambulula kanye nabahlabeleli nabalindisango njengemiyalo kaDavide noSolomoni indodana yakhe.

Futhi kusukela osukwini engamiswa ngalo ukuba ngibe ngumbusi wabo ezweni lakwaJuda , kwasemnyakeni wamashumi amabili kuze kube semnyakeni wamashumi amathathu nambili ka -Aritahishashita inkosi , iminyaka eyishumi nabili, mina nabafowethu asidlanga isinkwa sombusi.

Basukuma endaweni yabo , bafunda encwadini yomthetho k aJehova uNkulunkulu wabo inxenye yesine yosuku ; inxenye yesine bavuma izono zabo, bakhuleka kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabo.

Abakukhonzanga embusweni wabo , nasebuhleni bakho obukhulu owabanika bona, nasezweni elibanzi nelivundileyo owabapha lona ebusweni babo, ababuyanga emisebenzini yabo emibi.

Kwase kukhwela ezikhwelweni zamaLevi oJeshuwa , noBani, noKadimiyeli, noShebaniya, noBuni, noSherebiya, noBani, noKhenani, bamemeza ngezw i elikhulu kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabo.

UMose wathi kuJehova : Uyiphatheleni kabi inceku yakho na ? Angifumananga ngani umusa emehlweni akho ukuba ubeke umthwalo wabo bonke laba bantu phezu kwami na?

Kodwa ningahlubuki kuJehova, futhi ningesabi abantu balelo zwe ; ngokuba bayisinkwa kithi ; umthunzi wabo usukile phezu kwabo , kodwa uJehova unathi; ningabesabi.

Umpristi uyakuyenzela yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa -Israyeli ukubuyisana, baze bathethelelwe , ngokuba kwakungengamabomu , futhi balethile umnikelo wabo , umnikelo womlilo k uJehova, nomnikelo wabo wesono phambi kukaJehova ngesiphosiso sabo;

UMose wathukuthela kakhulu, wathi kuJehova: Unganaki umnikelo wabo; angithathanga nayinye imbongolo kubo, futhi angilimazanga namunye kubo.

Uma uyise engenabafowabo , niyakunika isihlobo sakhe esiseduze naye emndenini wabo ifa lakhe , alidle. Lokhu kuyakuba yisimiso sesahlulelo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose. Ukumiswa kukaJoshuwa abe ngumholi

Umnikelo wabo wokuphuzwa uyakuba yinxenye yehini lewayini ngenkunzi, nokwesithathu kwehini ngenqama , nokwesine kwehini ngemvu ; lokhu kungumnikelo wokushiswa wezinyanga zonke kuzo zonke izinyanga zomnyaka.

Asiyikubuyela ezindlini zethu , abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bengakalidli ifa labo, kube yilowo nalowo wabo.

Njengokomumo wabo bonke abesilisa kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu babe yizinkulungwane eziyisishiyagalombili namakhulu ayisithupha, begcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele.

umnike u-Aroni namadodana akhe imali umumo wabo odlulelayo ohlengwa ngayo.

Nakhu okuzakugcinwa yibo ukuba bakuthwale ngokomsebenzi wabo wonke etendeni lokuhlangana: amapulangwe etabernakele, nemishayo yalo, nezinsika zalo, nezinyawo zalo,

Lowo ungumsebenzi wemindeni yamadodana kaMerari ngokomsebenzi wabo wonke etendeni lokuhlangana phansi kwesandla sika -Itamari indodana ka-Aroni umpristi.

Ngiyakuqinisa indlu yakwaJuda, ngisindise indlu yakwaJosefa, ngibabuyise, ngokuba nginomusa kubo , babe kungathi angizange ngibalahle , ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo; ngiyakubezwa.

Ngabanquma abelusi bobathathu ngenyanga inye , ngokuba umph efumulo wami wadinwa yibo, nganengwa ngumphefumulo wabo.

Ababusi bakwaJuda bayakusho ezinhliziyweni zabo ukuthi : Abakhileyo eJerusalema bangamandla ami kuJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu wabo.

Yikho okuyakuba ngukushaya uJehova ayakushaya ngakho bonke abantu abalwe neJerusalema : inyama yab o iyakudleka besemi ngezinyawo zabo , namehlo abo ayakuphelela ezikhoxeni zawo , ulimi lwabo ludleke emlonyeni wabo.

ngibahambise, bakhe phakathi kweJerusalema , babe ngabantu bami , mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo ngeqiniso nangokulunga.

UJehova uNkulunkulu wabo uyakubasindisa ngalolo suk u njengomhlambi wabantu bakhe , ngokuba bangamatshe omqhele abengezela phezu kwezwe lakhe.

Ngiyakukhipha igazi labo emlonyeni wabo , nezinengiso zabo phakathi kwamazinyo abo , nabo uqobo babe yinsali kuNkulunkulu wethu , babe ngababusi kwaJuda nase-Ekroni njengamaJebusi.

Ugu luyakuba ngolwensali yendlu yakwaJuda , yaluse kulo ; ezindlini zase - Ashikeloni bayakubuthisa kusihlwa , ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo uyakubahambela, abuyise ukuthunjwa kwabo.

Insali yakwa -Israyeli ayisayikwenza okubi , ingakhulumi amanga , kungafunyanwa emlonyeni wabo ulimi olukhohlisayo; yebo, bayakwaluka, babuthise, kungekho obesabisayo.

Kepha futhi ukuba abantu bonke badle , baphuze, babone okuhle kuwo wonke umshikashika wabo kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu nalokho.

Kungcono ababili kunoyedwa , ngokuba banomvuzo omkhulu ngomshikashika wabo.

Futhi bonke abantu uNkulunkulu abaphe ingcebo nemfuyo , abanike futhi namandla okud la kukho ukuba bathathe izabelo zabo , bathokoze ngomshikashika wabo lokho kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu.

Uthando lwabo , nokuzonda kwabo , nomhawu wabo sekuphel ile, futhi abasenaso isabelo nanini kukho konke okwenziwa phansi kwelanga.
