Uma laba bantu benyuka ukunikela ngemihlatshelo endlini kaJehova eJerusalema, inhliziyo yalaba bantu iyakuphindela enkosini yabo , kuRehobowamu inkosi yakwaJuda , bangibulale mina , babuyele kuRehobowamu inkosi yakwaJuda.

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.

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.

Uma kukhona indlala ezweni , noma kukhona isifo , noma kukhona ukuhamuka, nesikhutha, nesikhonyane, nemiswenya, noma isitha sabo sibavimbezela ezweni lemizi yabo, noma kuyiphi inhlupheko nasiphi isifo,

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,

Lapho bonke abantu bakwa -Israyeli ababe sesigodini bebona ukuthi babaleka nokuthi uSawule namadodana akhe bafile , bashiya imizi yabo , babaleka; amaFilisti afika, ahlala kuyo.

Kubantwana bakwaBenjamini , abafowabo bakaSawule , yizinkulungwane ezintathu, ngokuba kuze kube manje imvama yabo yayithembekile endlini kaSawule.

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,

Akavumelanga muntu ukubahlupha, wajezisa amakhosi ngenxa yabo,

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

Base beziqashela izinqola eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu nambili kanye nenkosi yaseM ahakha nabantu bayo abeza ukumisa ngaphambi kweMedeba . Abantwana bakwa -Amoni babuthana ndawonye bephuma emizini yabo; baya ukulwa.

UDavide wathatha umqhele wenkosi yabo ekhanda layo, wafumana isisindo sawo ukuthi sasiyitalenta legolide, itshe eliyigugu likuwo; wabekwa ekhanda likaDavide; wakhipha emzini impango eningi kakhulu.

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

ODavide, noSadoki wamadodana ka-Eleyazare, no-Ahimeleki wamadodana ka-Itamari babahlukanisa ngezigaba zabo njengenkonzo yabo.

Jehova, Nkulunkulu ka -Abrahama noka -Isaka noka -Israyeli, obaba, gcina lokhu njalo ezizindlweni zemicabango yenhliziyo yabantu bakho , uqondisele inhliziyo yabo kuwe,

naseBeti Marikaboti , naseHasari Susimi , naseBeti Biri , naseShaharayimi. Yileyo eyayiyimizi yabo kwaze kwabusa uDavide.

Imizana yabo yayiyi -Etamu, ne-Ayini, neRimoni, neThokheni, ne-Ashani, imizi eyisihlanu,

Labo ababizwe ngamagama babeyizikh ulu emindenini yabo ; izindlu zawoyise zanda kakhulu.

Nabafowabo ngemindeni yabo, bebhalwe ngezizukulwane zabo: ngoJehiyeli inhloko noZakariya,

Abakhileyo kuqala emafeni abo emizini yabo babe ngu -Israyeli, nabapristi, namaLevi, namaNethini.

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,

Ngakho abahluphekayo ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu mababeke imiphefumulo yabo kuMdali othembekayo ngokwenza okuhle.

owazinikela abe yinhlawulo yabo bonke , kube ngubufakazi besikhathi esiyiso,

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

nokuxabana kwabantu abangqondo yabo yonakele, abamukwe iqiniso, bethi ukumesaba uNkulunkulu kuyindlela yenzuzo.

Pho, bayakwenze njani ababhapathizelwa abafileyo na ? Uma abafileyo bengavuki nempela, babhapathizelwani ngenxa yabo na?

Amabandla ase -Asiya ayakhonza kini . O-Akwila noPriska bakhonza kakhulu kini eNkosini, kanye nebandla elisendlini yabo.

Wayesesondeza isizwe sakwaBenjamini ngemindeni yabo , kwadliwa umndeni wakwaMatri ; kwadliwa uSawule indodana kaKishi ; kepha lapho bebemfuna, akafunyanwanga.

Bavuka ekuseni kakhulu , bakhuleka phambi kukaJehova , babuya, bafika endlini yabo eRama ; u-Elkana wamazi uHana umkakhe , uJehova wamkhumbula.

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.

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

Nokho abalalelanga, kodwa benza njengemithetho yabo yakuqala.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli benza ngasese izinto ezingalungile kuJehova uNkulunkulu, bazakhela izindawo eziphakemeyo emizini yabo yonke ngasemibhoshongweni yabalindi nasemizini ebiyelweyo.

Kepha wathi : Awuyikubabulala; ungababulala yini labo obathumbile ngenkemba yakho nangomnsalo wakho na ? Beka isinkwa namanzi phambi kwabo ukuba badle, baphuze, baye enkosini yabo.

Yayisibalungisela idili, badla, baphuza; yabavumela ukuba bahambe , baya enkosini yabo . Amaviyo ama -Aramu awabe esaphinda ukungena ezweni lakwa-Israyeli. Indlala yaseSamariya

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

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

Wonke uJuda wathokoza ngesifungo , ngokuba babefungile ngayo yonke inhliziyo yabo , bamfuna ngakho konke ukufisa kwabo ; wafunyanwa yibo ; uJehova wabaphumuza nxazonke.

Ngokuba amehlo kaJehova aqalaza emhlabeni wonke ukuba abe namandla kwabanhliziyo yabo iphelele kuye ; wenze ngobuwula kule nto , ngokuba kusukela manje uyakuba nokulwa njalo.

Yonke imibango efika kini ivela kubafowenu abahlala emizini yabo phakathi kwegazi negazi, noma phakathi komthetho nomyalo, noma phakathi kwezimiso nezahlulelo , niyakubaxwayisa ngayo ukuba bangabi nacala kuJehova, nehlelwe yintukuthelo nina nabafowenu; yenzani njalo, aniyikuba nacala.

Namadodana ka -Aroni, abapristi ababe semasimini amadlelo emizi yabo , imizi ngemizi , ayenamadoda abizwa ngegama ukuba anike bonke abesilisa babapristi nawo onke amaLevi abhaliweyo ngezizukulwane izabelo.

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.

Ngalokho wabehlisela inkosi yamaKaledi eyabulala izinsizwa zabo ngenkemba endlini yabo engcwele , ayihawukelanga nansizwa , nantombi, naxhegu, nogugileyo; wabanikela bonke esandleni sayo.

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 uk uba bahambe e mthethweni wami, njengalokho wena uhambe phambi kwami.

Uma kukhona indlala ezweni , noma kukhona isifo , noma kukhona ukuhamuka, nesikhutha, nesikhonyane, nemiswenya, noma izitha zabo zibavimbezela ezweni lemizi yabo, noma kuyiphi inhlupheko nasiphi isifo,

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,

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.

nabaningi bayakulandela amanyala abo ; ngenxa yabo indlela yeqiniso iyakuhlanjalazwa;

Kodwa ingqondo yabo yaba lukhuni . Ngokuba kuze kube sosukwini lwanamuhla, nxa kufundwa isivumelwano esidala , leyo ndwangu isahle zi ingambuliwe, ngokuba iyapheliswa kuKristu;

yebo, kuze kube namuhla , nxa kufundwa uMose , indwangu isayimbozile inhliziyo yabo;

okukubona abangakholwa unkulunkulu waleli zwe uphuphuthekisile ingqondo yabo , ukuze kungasi kubo ukukhanya kwevangeli lenkazimulo kaKristu ongumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu.

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

Ama-Aramu abaleka phambi kuka -Israyeli; uDavide wabulala kuma -Aramu izinqola ezingamakhulu ayisikhombisa nabamahhashi abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane , wamshaya uShobaki induna yempi yabo , wafela khona lapho.

Wathatha umqhele wenkosi yabo ekhanda layo ; isisindo sawo sasiyitalenta legolide, itshe eliyigugu likuwo; wabekwa ekhanda likaDavide ; wakhipha emzini impango eningi kakhulu.

Bonke abantu bakwa -Israyeli base benyuka bengasamlandeli uDavide , bamlandela uSheba indodana kaBikri; kepha abantu bakwaJuda babambelela enkosini yabo kusukela eJordani kuze kube seJerusalema.

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

Abantu, izikhulu zakwaGileyadi , bathi omunye komunye : Ngumuphi umuntu oyakuqala ukulwa nabantwana bakwa -Amoni na ? Yena uyakuba yinhloko yabo bonke abakhe kwaGileyadi.

Bonke abantu bakwa -Israyeli basuka endaweni yabo , bazihlela eBali Tamari; abaqamekeli bakwa -Israyeli bavumbuluka endaweni yabo eMare Geba.

Babahaqa abakwaBenjamini nxazonke , babaxosha, babanyathela phansi endaweni yabo yokuphumula , baze bafika malungana neGibeya ngasempumalanga.

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

Kwavela kwa -Efrayimi abampande yabo ikuma -Amaleki; emva kwakho nguBenjamini phakathi kwabantu bakho . KwaMakiri kwavela ababusi , kwaZebuloni abaphethe intonga yomholi.

Abantwana bezinceku zakho bayakuhlala ; inzalo yabo iyakuma phambi kwakho.

Akavumelanga muntu ukubahlupha, wajezisa amakhosi ngenxa yabo,

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

Wakhuluma, kwavela izibawu nezinsensane eminceleni yabo yonke.

Wabanika isichotho saba yimvula yabo, amalangabi omlilo ezweni labo.

Washaya nemivini yabo nemikhiwane yabo ; waphula imithi yasezweni labo.

Wabanika abakufisayo, kepha wathuma ukonda emiphefumulweni yabo.

Baguqula kanjalo inkazimulo yabo, yaba njengenkabi edla utshani.

awise nenzalo yabo phakathi kwabezizwe, abahlakaze emazweni.

Bamcunula ngasemanzini aseMeriba; kwaba kubi kuMose ngenxa yabo.

kepha bahlangana nabezizwe, bafunda imisebenzi yabo.

Bangcola kanjalo ngemisebenzi yabo, baphinga ezenzweni zabo.

Wathobisa inhliziyo yabo ngokuhlupheka; bawa kungekho osizayo.

Jehova, uyakuzwa uk ulangazela kwabamnene ; uyaqinisa inhliziyo yabo , indlebe yakho uyibeka kubo

Inhliziyo yabo injengamafutha ingezwa lutho ; kepha mina ngithokoza ngomthetho wakho.

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

Unisa izihibe phezu kwababi ; umlilo nesibabule nomoya oshisay o kuyisabelo sendebe yabo.

Abalimi balima emhlane wami, benza ibe mide imisele yabo.

Baceba okubi enhliziyweni yabo; izinsuku zonke baviva impi.

U-Israyeli makathokoze ngo wamEnzayo, abantwana baseSiyoni bethabele iNkosi yabo.

Isiwula sithi enhliziyweni yaso: Akakho uNkulunkulu. Yonakele, iyanengeka imisebenzi yabo; akakho owenza okuhle.

Ziningi izinhlupheko zabazizuzela omunye unkulunkulu ; angiyikunikela ngeminikelo yabo yegazi; angiyikuwaphatha amagama abo ngezindebe zami.

Isithelo sabo uyakusichitha emhlaben i kanye nenzalo yabo phakathi kwabantwana babantu.

Banike njengokwenza kwabo nanjengobubi bemisebenzi yabo ; banike njengokwenza kwezandla zabo, baphindisele abakwenzileyo.

Mabangasho enhliziyweni yabo uk uthi: He, kwaya ngesifiso sethu ! Mabangasho ukuthi: Simgwinyile.

Indlela yabo mayibe mnyama, ibebushelezi, ingelosi kaJehova ibaxoshe.

Inkemba yabo izakungena kweyabo inhliziyo, iminsalo yabo yaphulwe.

Ukusindiswa kwabalungileyo kuvela kuJehova ; uyinqaba yabo esikhathini sokuhlupheka.

Nkulunkulu, sizwile ngezindlebe zethu , okhokho besilandisa ngesenz o owasenzayo emihleni yabo, emihleni yasendulo.

Ngokuba abalidlanga izwe ngenkemba yabo, nengalo yabo ayibasindisanga; kepha kwaba yisandla sakho sokunene , nengalo yakho, nokukhanya kobuso bakho, ngokuba wawubathanda.

Qha, uyakubona ukuthi abahlakaniphileyo bayaf a nokuthi isiwula kanye nesiphukuphuku ziyabhubha, imfuyo yabo bayishiyele abanye.

Ukucabanga kwabo kuthi izindlu zabo zizakuma kuze kube phakade, nemizi yabo ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane ; amazwe abo bawabiza ngamagama abo.

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

labo abathemba imfuyo yabo bezigabisa ngomcebo wabo omkhulu, na?

Amazwi ami bawahlanekezela usuku lonke ; yonke imicabango yabo iqonde ukungona.

abalola ulimi lwabo njengenkemba , bakhombe imicibisholo yabo engamazwi ababayo

Bamlinga uNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yabo ngokucela ukudla abakufisayo.

Ngakho waqedela izinsuku zabo ezeni neminyaka yabo ovalweni.

ngokuba inhliziyo yabo yayingabambeleli kuye , bengathembekile esivumelwaneni sakhe.

Waphendula lapho imifula yabo nemifudlana yabo yaba yigazi , ukuze bangabi nakuphuza.

Wabulala imivini yabo ngesichotho, nemikhiwane yabo ngesangquma.

Ngokuba ilanga liphuma libalele , libunisa utshani , imbali yabo iwele phansi, nobuhle besimo sabo bunyamalale ; kanjalo nesicebi siyakudlula ezindleleni zaso.

ukuze yahlulele bonke , ijezise bonke abangamesabi uNkulunkulu ngenxa yemisebenzi yonke yabo yokungahloniphi uNkulunkulu abadelela ngayo , nangawo onke amazwi alukhuni izoni ezingamesabi uNkulunkulu eziwakhulumile ngaye.

Nezidumbu zabo ziyakusala ezitaladini zomuzi omkhulu othiwa ngokomoya iSodoma neGibithe, lapho neNkosi yabo yabethelwa khona.

kepha kabaze banqoba, nendawo yabo kayabe isafunyanwa ezulwini.

Ngase ngizwa izwi livela ezulwini, lithi: Loba ukuthi: Babusisiwe abafileyo abafele eNkosini kusukela kulesi sikhathi . Yebo, usho uMoya , ukuze baphumule ekukhandlekeni kwabo; ngokuba imisebenzi yabo iyabalandela. Izingelosi ezimbili zokuvuna

futhi bahlambalaza uNkulunkulu wezulu ngenxa yobuhlungu babo nangenxa yezilonda zabo; kepha abaphendukanga emisebenzini yabo.

Nabathengisi bomhlaba bayalikhalela , balililele, ngokuba impahla yabo ayisathengwa muntu,

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

Nabaseleyo babulawa ngenkemba ephuma emlonyeni wakhe owayehlezi ehhashini, nezinyoni zonke zasutha inyama yabo.

Ngabona abafileyo , abakhulu nabancane , bemi phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi; izincwadi zavulwa ; nenye incwadi yavulwa , ngeyokuphila; nabafileyo bahlulelwa ngalokho okulotshiwe ezincwadini njengokwemisebenzi yabo.

Bathi konina: Aphi amabele newayini? lapho bedangala njengababulawayo ezigcawini zomuzi, imiphefumulo yabo ithululelwe ezifubeni zawonina.

Uyezwa inhlamba yabo, Jehova, nawo onke amacebo abo ngami,

izindebe zabangivukeleyo nemicabango yabo ngami izinsuku zonke.

Umoya wamakhala ethu , ogcotshiweyo kaJehova , wabanjwa emigodini yabo, esathi ngaye: Phansi kwethunzi lakhe siyakuphila phakathi kwezizwe.

Abakhulu balo babehlambulukile kunongqoqwane , babe mhlophe kunobisi; imizimba yabo yayibomvana kunekorali, isimo sabo sasinjengesafire.

Abanhliziyo ephambeney o bayisinengiso kuJehova , kepha a bapheleleyo endleleni yabo bayintokozo kuye.

Umqhele wabahlakaniphileyo uyingcebo yabo , umgexo weziwula ungubuwula.

Ngalokho bayakudla izithelo zendlela yabo, basuthe ngamacebo abo.

ngokuba uJehova uyakumela indaba yabo , aphuce ababaphucayo umphefumulo wabo.

Uma uth i: Bheka, besingakwazi, akakuqondi yini olinganisa izinhliziyo , nolonda umphefumulo wakho akakwazi , na? Futhi akayikuphindisela bonke abantu ngokwemisebenzi yabo na?

Ngokuba ingozi yabo iyakuvuka masinyane ; ngubani owazi ukuchithwa kweminyaka yabo na? Amazwi ezihlakaniphi: isigaba sesibili

abazindlela zabo ziyisigwegwe, nemikhondo yabo iphambene,

ukuba ameme abadlula endleleni, abaqonda emikhondweni yabo, ngokuthi:

Walithumela izwi kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli, eshumayela ivangeli lokuthula ngaye uJesu Kristu; yena uyiNkosi yabo bonke.

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

Kwathi abaniniyo sebebonile ukuthi ithemba lenzuzo yabo limukile, bababamba oPawulu noSila, babahudulela esigcawini phambi kwababusi,

Kepha kwathi uPawulu azi ukuth i enye inxenye yabo ingabaSadusi nenye ingabaFarisi, wamemeza emphakathini , wathi: Madoda, bazalwane, ngingumFarisi mina , ngiyindodana yabaFarisi ; ngimangalelwa ngethemba nangokuvuka kwabafileyo.

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

Bavuma ukuthi bayamazi uNkulunkulu, kepha bayamphika ngemisebenzi yabo bengabenyanyekayo , nabangalaleliyo, nasemisebenzini yonke emihle kabasizi lutho.

Yilesi sivumelwano engizakusenza nabo , emva kwalezo zinsuku , isho iNkosi: Ngiyakufaka imithetho yami ezinhliziyweni zabo , ngiyilobe engqondweni yabo,

kodwa siyambona owenziwe waba mncinyane isikhashana kunezingelosi , uJesu, ebekiwe umqhele wenkazimulo nodumo ngenxa yokuhlupheka kokufa, ukuze ngomusa kaNkulunkulu ezwe ukufa ngenxa yabo bonke.

ngalokho nganengwa yileso sizukulwane , ngathi: Bayaduka njalonjalo enhliziyweni yabo, abazazanga izindlela zami,

ngenxa yabo kufanele ukuba, njengalokhu enikela ngezono zabantu, anikele kanjalo nangezakhe.

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.

Ngakho ngisho, ngifakaza eNkosini, ngithi ningabe nisahamba njengalokhu kuhamba abezizwe ebuzeni bengqondo yabo,

behlwelwe emqondweni , behlukanisiwe nokuphila kukaNkulunkulu ngokungazi okukubo ngenxa yobulukhuni benhliziyo yabo,

Ngokuba akukho mahluko phakathi komJuda nomGreki , lokhu yena uyiNkosi yabo bonke, ubacebele bonke abakhuleka kuye,

Khonzani nasebandleni elisendlini yabo. Khonzani ku-Ephenetu, isithandwa sami, ongulibo lwase-Asiya kuKristu.

ngokuba kuthe bemazi uNkulunkulu , kabamdumisanga, kabambonganga njengoNkulunkulu, kodwa balutheka ekuzindleni kwabo ; inhliziyo yabo engaqondiyo yaba mnyama.

Ngalokho uNkulunkulu wabanikela ezinkanukweni zezinhliziyo zabo kukho ukungcola, bahlazisane imizimba yabo,

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

Uphuphuthekisile amehlo abo , wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yabo , funa babone ngamehlo, baqonde ngenhliziyo, baphenduke, ngibaphulukise.

Ngiyazingcwelisa ngenxa yabo ukuba bangcweliswe nabo ngeqiniso.

Khona abaJuda , ngokuba kwakungolokulungisela , ukuze izidumbu zingahlali esiphambanweni ngesabatha , ngokuba lolo suku lwesabatha lwalulukhulu, banxusa uPilatu ukuba yaphulwe imilenze yabo, basuswe.

Ukwahlulela kuyilokhu ukuba ukukhanya kufikile ezweni , kepha abantu bathanda ubumnyama kunokukhanya, ngokuba imisebenzi yabo ibimibi.

Kepha yena eyazi imicabango yabo wathi kubo : Yilowo nalowo mbuso owahlukene wodwa uyachitheka, indlu idilike phezu kwendlu.

Nani yibani njengabantu ababheke inkosi yabo ibuya emshadweni ukuba , nxa ifika ingqongqotha, bayivulele masinyane.

Ngaleso sikhathi kwakukhona abathile abamtshela ngabaseGalile igazi labo uPilatu ayelixubanisile nemihlatshelo yabo.

Wenzile amandla ngengalo yakhe ; uchithile abazidlayo ekuzidleni kwenhliziyo yabo.

Kwathi ebheka, wabona abacebileyo bebeka iminikelo yabo emphongolweni womnikelo.

Khona wayesevula ingqondo yabo, ukuze baqonde imibhalo.

Abangasendleleni yilabo abathi sebezwile , bese kufika uSathane , alisuse izwi enhliziyweni yabo ukuba bangakholwa, basindiswe.

noJowana umkaKhuza, induna kaHerode , noSusana, nabanye abaningi ababebakhonza ngempahla yabo.

Kuthe uJesu ebona ukuzindla kwenhliziyo yabo , wathabatha umntwana , wammisa phambi kwakhe,

nalowo ofuna ukuba ngowokuqala phakathi kwenu makabe yinceku yabo bonke.

Ngasemuva wabonakala kwabayishumi nanye behlezi ekudleni , wabasola ngokungakholwa kwabo nangobulukhuni benhliziyo yabo , ngokuba bengakholwanga yilabo abambonileyo esevukile.

Waqalaza ebabuka ngokuthukuthela , edabukile ngobulukhuni benhliziyo yabo; wayesethi kulowo muntu: Yelula isandla. Waselula, saphiliswa isandla sakhe.

Ngokuba abaqondanga okwezinkwa, lokhu inhliziyo yabo yayilukhuni.

lapho impethu yabo ingafi, nomlilo ungacimi.

lapho impethu yabo ingafi, nomlilo ungacimi.

lapho impethu yabo ingafi, nomlilo ungacimi.

Kwathi ukuba uJesu aqede ukuyala abafundi bakhe abayishumi nambili , wamuka lapho ukuyofundisa nokushumayela emizini yabo. Ukufakaza kukaJesu kubafundi bakaJohane nakubantu (Luk. 7:18)

Ngakho-ke konke abanitshela khona, kwenzeni, nikugcine, kodwa ningenzi njengemisebenzi yabo; ngokuba bayakhuluma, bangenzi;

Kepha imisebenzi yonke yabo bayenza ukuba babonwe ngabantu ; amafilakteriyu abo bawenza abe banzi, bawenze abe makhulu amachopho.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Ngenxa yeziphambeko ezintathu zabantwana bakwa-Amoni, yebo, ngenxa yezine , angiyikuguquka, ngokuba baqaqile abakhulelweyo kwaGileyadi ukuba bayenze banzi imikhawulo yabo.

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

Abantu base bethatha inhlama yabo ingakavutshelwa , nezingqwembe zabo zokuxova isinkwa, ziboshwe ezingutsheni zabo emahlombe abo.

Benza ukuphila kwabo kwaba munyu ngemisebenzi esindayo odakeni nasezitinini, nangemisebenzi yonke yasendle , yebo, yonke imisebenzi yabo ababebakhonzisa ngayo.

Ngezindaba zonke zamacala , eyenkabi, neyembongolo, neyemvu, neyengubo, neyento elahlekileyo , umuntu asho ngayo ukuthi ngeyakhe , indaba yabo bobabili iyakuza phambi kukaNkulunkulu ; olahlwa nguNkulunkulu uyakumkhokhela umakhelwane wakhe kuphindwe kabili.

Awuyikubakhothamela onkulunkulu babo , ungabakhonzi, ungenzi njengokwemisebenzi yabo , kepha wobachitha impela , ubhidlize izithombe zabo.

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.

Kwathi ngalezo zinsuku uMose esekhulile , waphuma, waya kubafowabo , wabuka imithwalo yabo ; wabona owaseGibithe eshaya umHeberu , omunye wabafowabo.

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

Inkosi yaseGibithe yathi kubo : Nibakhumulelani abantu emithwalweni yabo nina Mose no-Aroni na? Hambani, niye emisebenzini yenu.

UFaro wathi : Bheka, abantu sebebaningi ezweni , nokho niyabaphumuza emithwalweni yabo.

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.

Ngokuba uMoridekayi , umJuda, wayelama inkosi u -Ahashiveroshi ngobukhulu, emkhulu phakathi kwabaJuda , ethokozelwa ngaba fowabo abaningi, efuna okuhle kwesizwe sakubo , ekhuluma ukuthula kuyo yonke inzalo yabo.

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.

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,

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.

abaJuda banquma bamukela , bona nenzalo yabo , nabo bonke ababezihlanganisa nabo , ukuthi bayakugcina lezo zinsuku zombili njengokubhalwa kwazo nanjengesikhathi sazo esinqunyiweyo iminyaka yonke, bangaphuthi,

zikhunjulwe lezo zinsuku , zigcinwe ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane , emindenini ngemindeni, ezifundeni ngezifunda, emizini ngemizi, lezo zinsuku zePhurimi, zingaphuthi phakathi kwabaJuda , nesikhumbuzo sazo singapheli enzalweni yabo.

ukuba aqinise lezo zinsuku zePhurimi ngezikhathi zazo ezinqunyiweyo njengokuzimisa kukaMoridekayi umJuda no-Esteri inkosikazi, nanjengalokho bezimisele bona nenzalo yabo ngendaba yokuzila ukudla nokukhala kwabo.

ngokuthi bonke abangafiki ngezinsuku ezintathu ngokwesiluleko sezikhulu namalunga kuyakudliwa yonke impahla yabo , bona bahlukaniswe nebandla labathunjwa.

Bonke abaseleyo, nakuziphi izindawo lapho begogobele khona , mabasizwe ngabantu bendawo yabo ngesiliva, nangegolide, nangempahla, nangezinkomo kanye nomnikelo wesihle wendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema.

Amahhashi abo ayengamakhulu ayisikhombisa namashumi amathathu nesithupha; iminyuzi yabo yayingamakhulu amabili namashumi amane nanhlanu;

Base behlala abapristi, namaLevi, nabanye abantu abathile , nabahlabeleli, nabalindisango, namaNethini emizini yabo , bonke abakwa -Israyeli emizini yabo.

Bonke abangayikwenza umthetho kaNkulunkulu wakho nomthetho wenkosi mabahlulelwe ngaso sonke isineke , noma kube ngokokufa noma okokuxoshwa, noma impahla yabo ibe yisizi, noma kube ngukuboshwa.

Ngalokho ninganiki amadodana abo amadodakazi enu , futhi ningathatheli amadodana enu amadod akazi abo, ningafuni ukuthula kwabo nenhlalakahle yabo kuze kube phakade , ukuze nibe namandla , nidle okuhle kwezwe , nilishiye libe yifa labantwana benu kuze kube phakade.

ukuchezukisa abampofu ekwahluleleni , nokwaphuca abaswelayo babantu bami umthetho , ukuze abafelokazi babe yimpango yabo , baqhwage izintandane.

Alisoze labuye lakhiwa , akusayikuhlalwa kulo ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane; umArabiya akayikumisa khona , nabelusi abayikulala lapho nemihlambi yabo.

Ngalokho okuseleyo abakutholileyo , nemfuyo yabo , bakuwelisa uMfula Weminyezane.

Abayikubheka ama -altare abo , umsebenzi wezandla zabo , bangabuki okwenziwe yiminwe yabo, o-Ashera nama-altare empepho.

Ngalolo suku imizi yabo enamandla iyakuba njengezindawo ezishiyiweyo zasehlathini nezaseziqongweni zezintaba abazishiya pha mbi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli zibe yincithakalo.

Abanamandla bayakuba njengefilakisi , nemisebenzi yabo njengenhlansi ; bayakusha bobabili kanyekanye, akuyikubakho ocimayo.

Yathi iNkosi : Ngenxa yokuba laba bantu besondela , bangidumise ngemilomo yabo nangezindebe zabo , kodwa bazidedisele kude nami izinhliziyo zabo , nokungesaba kwabo kungumyalo wabantu abawufundisiweyo nje,

Wo kubona abajula ukuba basithezele uJehova isu labo, abamisebenzi yabo isebumnyameni, nabasho ukuthi: Ngubani osibonayo, ngubani osaziyo, na?

Abathobekileyo bayakwandisa intokozo yabo kuJehova , nabampofu kubantu bayakujabula koNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

Uyakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe , anqume phakathi kwabantu abaningi ; bayakukhanda izinkemba zabo zibe ngamakhuba , nemikhonto yabo ibe ngocelemba; isizwe asiyikuphakamisela isizwe inkemba , zingabe zisafunda ukulwa.

Izwe lakubo ligcwele isiliva negolide , akukho ukuphela kwengc ebo yabo ; izwe lakubo ligcwele futhi namahhashi, nokuphela kwezinqola akukho.

Izwe lakubo ligcwele futhi nezithombe ; bakhuleka kokwenziwe yizandla zabo nakwekwenzileyo iminwe yabo.

Futhi ukukhanya kwenyanga kuyakuba njengokukhanya kwelanga , nokukhanya kwelanga kuyakuphindwa kasikhombisa njengokukhanya kwezimini eziyisikhombisa ngosuku uJehova abopha ngalo amanxeba abantu bakhe, aphulukise izilonda zemivimbo yabo. Ukunqotshwa kwe-Asiriya

Isiprofetho ngezilwane zaseNingizimu. Badabula izwe losizi nelokuhlupheka, lapha kuvela khona ibhubesi nebhubesikazi , ibululu nenyoka endizayo , bethwala imfuyo yabo emihlane yezimbongol o nengcebo yabo phezu kwamalunda amakamela bakuyise kubantu abangenansizakalo.

Izintambo zakho ziya xega, azinakusiqinisa isiqu sensika yabo , azinakumeneka useyili ; khona iyakwabelwa impango enkulu ephangiweyo ; nezinyonga ziyakuthatha impango.

Ukukhetha kwabo ubuso kuyafakaza ngabo ; benza izono zabo obala njengeSodoma, abazifihli. Maye kuyo imiphefumulo yabo ! Ngokuba bazenzele okubi.

Bheka, bayize bonke; imisebenzi yabo ayiyinto yalutho, nezithombe zabo ezibunjiweyo zingumoya nokuyize.

Ngiyakudlisa abacindezeli bakho inyama yabo , badakwe yigazi labo njengangewayini elimnandi ; inyama yonke iyakwaz i ukuthi mina Jehov a nginguMsindisi wakho, noMhlengi wakho, uMninimandla kaJakobe.

yebo, nabo ngiyakubayisa entabeni yami engcwele , ngibathokozise endlini yami yokukhuleka ; iminikelo yabo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo yab o iyakwamukeleka e -altare lami , ngokuba indlu yami iyakubizwa ngokuth i indlu yokukhuleka phakathi kwabantu bonke.

angene ekuthuleni ; abahambe ngobuqotho bayakuphumula emibhedeni yabo.

Wabeka isithombe sakho emva kwezicabha nezinsika , wazambulela omunye kunami, wakhwela embhedeni , wawandisa, wavumelana nabo , wayithanda imibhede yabo, wazibonelela indawo.

Ubulembu babo a buyikuba yizingubo, futhi abanakuzimboza ngemisebenzi yabo; isenzo sendluzula sisezandleni zabo.

Izinyawo zabo zigijimela ebubini , bashesha ukuchitha igazi elingenacala ; imicabango yabo iyimicabango yobubi ; incithakalo nokubhujiswa kusezindleleni zabo.

Indlela yokuthula abayazi , nokwahlulela akukho emikhondweni yabo ; bazenzele izindlela eziyisigwegwe, bonke abahamba ngazo abazi ukuthula.

Ngalokho njengolimi lomlil o ludla amabibi , nezikhotha ezomileyo zizika elangabini, impande yabo iyakuba njengokubola, nembali yabo iyakuthuquka njengebhuqu, ngokuba balahlile umthetho kaJehova Sebawoti , balidelela izwi loNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

bona abamicibisholo yabo ibukhali , nayo yonke iminsalo yabo insaliwe ; izinyawo zamahhashi abo ziyakubalwa njengensengetsha , namasondo abo njengesivunguvungu.

Ukubhonga kwabo kunjengokwengonyamakazi, bayakubhonga njengamabhongo ebhubesi, yebo, bayakugwavuma, babambe impango yabo , bamuke nayo, kungekho oyophulayo.

Inzalo yabo iyakwaziwa phakathi kwezizwe , nabantwana babo phakathi kwabantu; bonke abababonayo bayakubavum a ukuthi bayinzalo uJ ehova ayibusisile.

Ngizelulile izandla zam i usuku lonke kubantu abahlubukayo , abahamba ngendlela engenhle nangokwemicabango yabo,

Ngiyazi imisebenzi yabo nemicabango yabo ; ngiyeza ukubutha zonke izizwe nezilimi, zifike, zibone inkazimulo yami.

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

Ohlaba inkunzi ebulala nomuntu, nohlaba iwundlu eyaphula nentamo yenja, nonikela ngomnikelo wempuphu , kepha enikela nangegazi lezingulube , noshisa inhlaka , ebonga nesithombe , yebo, laba bakhethile izindlela zabo , nemiphefumulo yabo iyathokoza ngezinengiso zabo.

Yenza inhliziyo yalaba bantu ukuba ikhuluphale , nezindlebe zabo zibe buthuntu, ufiphaze amehlo abo , funa babone ngamehlo abo , bezwe ngezindlebe zabo, baqonde ngenhliziyo yabo, babuye, baphiliswe.

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

Ungangeni ngesango labantu bami ngosuku lwesigemegeme sabo , ungabheki ukuhlupheka kwabo ngosuku lwesigemegeme sabo , ningabeki sandla emfuyweni yabo ngosuku lwesigemegeme sabo.

Nokho uJehova wanamathela koyihlo , wabathanda, wakhetha inzalo yabo emva kwabo, yebo, nina ngaphezu kwabantu bonke, njenganamuhla.

nowakwenzayo kuDathani naku -Abiramu amadodana ka -Eliyabe kaRubeni ukuthi umhlaba wavula umlomo wawo , wabagwinya nabendlu yabo , namatende abo, nayo yonke imfuyo eyabalandelayo phakathi kwabo bonke abakwa-Israyeli.

nokuba nandise izinsuku zenu ezweni uJehova alifungela oyihlo ukubanika lona nenzalo yabo, izwe elivame ubisi nezinyosi.

Bhekani, ngilibekile izwe phambi kwenu ; ngenani nilidle izwe uJehova alifungela oyihlo , o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe ukulinika bona nenzalo yabo emva kwabo.

Awuyikufuna ukuthula kwabo nenhlanhla yabo zonke izinsuku zakho kuz e kube phakade.

Ngalokho zilobeleni leli hubo , ulifundise abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, ulibeke emilonyeni yabo ukuba leli hubo libe ngufakazi wami ukumelana nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Kuyakuthi lapho sebehlelwe ngokubi nezinhlupheko eziningi , leli hubo lifakaze phambi kwabo njengofak azi, ngokuba aliyikukhohlakala emilonyeni yenzalo yabo , lokhu ngiyazi imicabango yabo abayicabangayo namanje , ngingakabangenisi ezweni engalifungela bona.

Bengiyakuthi: Ngiyakubaphephula, ngiqede inkumbulo yabo kubantu,

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

Lokhu ebethanda oyihlo wakhetha inzalo yabo emva kwabo , wakukhipha yena uqobo ngamandla akhe amakhulu eGibithe

Izwe lalingenakubanela ukuba bahlale ndawonye , ngokuba impahla yabo yayiningi kunokuba bahlale ndawonye.

UJehova wathi: Uma ngif umana eSodoma abalungileyo abangamashumi ayisihlanu phakathi komuzi, ngiyakuyekela indawo yonke ngenxa yabo.

Imihlambi yabo , nempahla yabo , nezinkomo zabo akuyikuba ng okwethu na? Masibavumele kuphela, bakhe kithi.

Lawa angamagama abanumzane abavela ku -Esawu ngemindeni yabo , nangezindawo zabo , nangamagama abo : ngumnumzane uThimna , nomnumzane u-Aliva, nomnumzane uJeteti,

Ngokuba imfuyo yabo yayiyinkulu kunokuba bahlale ndawonye , nezwe lokugogobala kwabo lalingenakubathwala ngenxa yemfuyo yabo.

Kwathi emva kwalezo zinto umphathizitsha wenkosi yaseGibithe nomphekizinkwa wayo bona enkosini yabo, inkosi yaseGibithe.

Wabuza impilo yabo , wathi: Usaphila uyihlo, ixhegu enanikhuluma ngalo , na? Usekhona na?

Bathatha i mfuyo yabo nempahla yabo ababeyizuze ezweni laseKhanani , bafika eGibithe, uJakobe nayo yonke inzalo yakhe kanye naye.

Makuqalekiswe ulaka lwabo , ngokuba lwalunamandla, nentukuthelo yabo, ngokuba yayinonya ; ngizakubahlukanisa kwaJakobe , ngibasakaze kwa - Israyeli.

Abayikuvuka ngokuz umayo abakulumayo , bavuke abakuthuthumelisayo , ube yimpango yabo, na?

Ngiyakubanika inhliziyo ibe nye, ngibeke umoya omusha phakathi kwabo , ngikhiphe inhliziyo yetshe enyameni yabo, ngibanike inhliziyo yenyama

Kepha labo abanhliziyo zabo zilandela izinhliziyo zokuzondekayo kwabo nezinengiso zabo , ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwamakhanda abo indlela yabo , isho iNkosi uJehova.

Ndodana yomuntu , profetha ngabaprofethi bakwa -Israyeli abaprofethayo , uthi kwabaprofetha okwenhliziyo yabo: Zwanini izwi likaJehova.

Ngokuba nidabukisile inhliziyo yolungileyo ngamanga , engingamdabukisanga mina , naqinisa izandla zababi ukuba bangabuyi endleleni yabo embi, basindiswe,

noma bebekhona oNowa , noDaniyeli, noJobe phakathi kwalo , kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi uJehova , bebengayikophula amadodana noma amadodakazi, bophule imiphefumulo yabo kuphela ngokulunga kwabo.

ukuze ngibambe indlu yakwa -Israyeli ngenhliziyo yabo , ngokuba bo nke bazahlukanisile nami ngezithombe zabo.

Labhidliza izinqaba zabo, lachitha imizi yabo , izwe lachitheka nokugcwala kwalo ngomsindo wokubhonga kwalo.

Ngabangcolisa eminikelweni yabo ngokudabulisa emlilweni konke okuvula izizalo, ukuze ngibachithe, bazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

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.

Ngase ngithulula ukufutheka kwami phezu kwabo ; ngibaqedile ngomlilo wentukuthelo yami, ngehlisela indlela yabo phezu kwama khanda abo, isho iNkosi uJehova.

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

Bonke ababambe amaphini , amatilosi nabo bonke abashayeli baselwandle, bayakwehla emikhunjini yabo, beme emhlabathini,

Ngiyakwenza ukuba amanzi abo abohle , ngihambise imifula yabo njengamafutha, isho iNkosi uJehova.

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.

Ndodana yomuntu, indlu yakwa-Israyeli isahlala ezweni layo balin gcolisa ngezindlela zabo nangezenzo zabo ; indlela yabo yayingcolile phambi kwami njengowesifazane ekungcoleni kwakhe.

Ngabahlakazela phakathi kwezizwe , basabalaliselwa emazweni ; ngabahlulela njengendlela yabo nezenzo zabo.

yebo, ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Impela ngomlilo womhawu wami ngikhulumile ngensali yezizwe nangawo wonke u-Edomi, ababeke izwe lami libe yifa labo ngentokozo yenhliziyo yabo yonke nangamafundululu omphefumulo, ukuze lilahlwe libe yimpango;

Ngokuba awuthunywa kubantu abankulumo yabo ilukhuni nolimi lwabo lungaqondakali, kepha endlini yakwa-Israyeli,

kungekubantu abaningi abankulumo yabo ilukhuni nolimi lwabo lungaqondakali, ongawezwa amazwi abo . Impela uma bengikuthume kubo , bona babeyakukuzwa.

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.

Bayakuba nefa ; mina ngiyifa labo ; aniyikubanika imfuyo kwa -Israyeli; mina ngiyimfuyo yabo.

Isikhulu asiyikuthatha efeni labantu ukubaphuca imfuyo yabo ; sithatha emfuyweni yaso siyakuwanika amadodana aso ifa ukuze abantu bami bangahlukani, kube yilowo nalowo nemfuyo yakhe.

Ubudlova buyavuka , bube yintonga yokubi , kungasali muntu kubo nasesixukwini sabo, kungasali lutho emfuyweni yabo nasebukhosini babo.

Bayakuphonsa isiliva labo ezitaladini , igolide labo libe yinto engcolileyo , isiliva labo negolide labo kungabi namandla okubophula ngosuk u lwentukuthelo kaJehova; abayikusuthisa imiphefumulo yabo , bangagcwalisi izibilini zabo, ngokuba kade kuyisikhubekiso sobubi babo.

Nami-ke, iso lami aliyikubahawukela , ngingabi nabubele , kepha ngiyakwehlisela indlela yabo phezu kwekhanda labo.

Inhliziyo yabo yayahlukene; uyakuwaphula ama-altare abo, achithe izinsika zabo.

Ngabadonsa ngezintambo zomuntu , ngamagoda othando ; ngaba kubo njengophakamisa ijoka entanyeni yabo, ngagobela kubo, ngabanika ukudla.

Abayikubuyela ezweni laseGibithe , owase-Asiriya abe yinkosi yabo , ngokuba benqaba ukubuya, na?

Basutha njengamadlelo abo; basutha, nenhliziyo yabo yaphakama; ngalokho bangikhohliwe.

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.

Umoya ubasongile ngamaphiko awo; bayakujabha ngemihlatshelo yabo.

Abakhalanga kimi ngezinhliziyo zabo , kepha bahhewula emibhedeni yabo ; banovalo ngamabele abo nangewayini labo, kepha mina bayangihlubuka.

Bayabuyela, kepha hhayi kongaPhezulu , bafana nomnsal o ogejayo ; izikhulu ziyakuwa ngenkemba ngenxa yolaka lolimi lwabo . Lokhu kuyakuba yinhlekiso yabo ezweni laseGibithe.

U-Efrayimi ushayiwe, impande yabo yomile , abayikuthela izithelo . Noma bezala, ngiyakubulala okuthandekayo kwesisu sabo.

Abayikuthululela uJehova iwayini; imihlatshelo yabo ayiyikuba mihle kuye, isinkwa sabo sibe njengesinkwa sabalilayo ; bonke abasidlayo bayakungcola , ngokuba isinkwa sabo siyakuba ngesephango, singangeni endlini kaJehova.

Ngubani ongekwesabe, Nkosi yezizwe, ngokuba uyimfanelo yakho, ngokuba phakathi kwabo bonk e abahlakaniphileyo bezizw e nakuyo yonke imibuso yabo akakho onjengawe.

Wayesethi uJehova kimi : Abaprofethi baprofetha amanga egameni lami ; angibathumanga, angibayalanga, angikhulumanga kubo; baprofetha imibono yamanga, nokubhula, nokuyize, nenkohliso yenhliziyo yabo.

Owazala abayisikhombisa usedangele , waphuma u moya; ilanga lakhe lishonile kuse semini ; ujabhile, wayangaza; insali yabo ngiyakuyinikela enkembeni ngaphambi kwezitha zabo, usho uJehova. Ukukhala kukaJeremiya

Abakhulu nabancane bayakufela kuleli zwe , abayikumbelwa, abayikulilelwa; abantu abayikuzisika, abayikuziphucula ngenxa yabo;

nakuba bengalalelanga , bengabekanga izindlebe , kepha benza lukhuni intamo yabo, ukuze bangezwa, balaywe.

Njengomoya wasempumalanga ngiyakubahlakaza phambi kwezitha zabo , ngibabonise umhlane kungabi ngubuso ngosuku lwengozi yabo.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Bhekani, ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwalo muzi nemizana yawo konke okubi engikushilo ngawo, ngokuba benze lukhuni intamo yabo, ukuze bangezwa amazwi ami.

Ngalokho indlela yabo iyakuba yizindawo ezibushelelezi; bayakusunduzwa ebumnyameni, bawe kubo , ngokuba ngiyakubehlisela okub i ngomnyaka wokuhanjelwa kwabo, usho uJehova.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Ningawalaleli amazwi abaprofe thi abaprofetha kini; banifundisa okuyize, bakhuluma umbono wenhliziyo yabo , kungengokuvela emlonyeni kaJehova.

Bazinge bethi kwabangidelelayo : UJehova ukhulumile uthi : Niyakuba nokuthula. Kubo bonke abahamba ngenkan i yenhliziyo yabo bathi : Aniyikwehlelwa ngokubi.

Uma bebemi emkhandlwini wami, nga bezwisile abantu bami amazwi ami , bababuyise endleleni yabo embi, nasebubini bezenzo zabo.

Lokhu koze kube nini ezinhliziyweni zabaprofethi abaprofetha amanga , bengabaprofethi benkohliso yenhliziyo yabo,

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

Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku, usho uJehova Sebawoti, ngilaphule ijoka entanyeni yabo, ngigqabule izibopho zabo, abafokazi bangabe besabakhonzisa,

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

Kukhona ithemba lokugcina kwakho , usho uJehova ; abantwana bayakubuyela emikhawulweni yabo.

kungenjengesivumelwano engasenzayo nawoyise mhla ngibabamba ngesandla ukubakhipha ezweni laseGibithe , isivumelwano sami abasaphula noma ngangiyinkosi yabo, usho uJehova.

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

Abaqashwa balo phakathi kwalo banjengamathole akhuluphalisiweyo; nabo babuyele emuva, babaleka kanyekanye, abemanga, ngokuba usuku lwengozi yabo lubehlele, isikhathi sokuhanjelwa kwabo.

Amatende abo nemihlambi yabo niyakukuthatha , bazithuthele izilenge zabo, nazo zonke izimpahla zabo , namakamela abo, bamemeze kubo, bathi: Luvalo nxazonke.

Makufike ukusha phezu kwamanzi alo , aze ome , ngokuba yizwe elinezithombe ezibaziweyo, bahlanya ngemifanekiso yabo.

Abantu bami babe yizimvu ezilahlekileyo; abelusi babo babadukisile , babazulazulisa ezintabeni , basuka entabeni , baya egqumeni , bakhohlwa indawo yabo yokuphumula.

Ngalokho ingonyama yasehlathini iyakubashaya, babhujiswe yimpisi yasehlane, ingwe iyiqamekele imizi yabo , badatshulwe bonke abaphuma kuyo, ngokuba iziphambeko zabo ziningi, nokuhlehla kwabo kwandile.

Yizwa wena mhlaba ukuthi : Bheka, ngiyakwehlisela okubi phezu kwalaba bantu, izithelo zemicabango yabo , ngokuba abaqaphelanga amazwi ami , nomthetho wami bawulahlile.

Ngikubekile ukuba ube ngumhloli nenqaba phakathi kwabantu bami, wazi, uhlole indlela yabo.

Abelusi bayakufika kuyo benemihlambi yabo , bamise amatende abo ngakuyo nxazonke, baluse, kube yilowo nalowo endaweni yakhe.

Bangikhamisela imilomo yabo , bangimukula e sihlathini ngenhlamba , bangihlanganyela.

Inkunzi yabo iyakhwela, kayiphuthi; inkomo yabo iyazala, kayiphunzi.

Baqeda imihla yabo ngokuhle, behlela endaweni yabafileyo ngokuthula.

Bhekani, inhlanhla yabo ayisesandleni sabo ; icebo lababi malibe kude nami.

Banokujabula kuni endl ini yabo emva kwabo , lapho umumo wezinyanga zabo usunqunyiwe, na?

Inzalo yabo iyema phambi kwabo kanye nabo , nabantwana babo phambi kwamehlo abo.

Bheka, njengezimbongolo ehlane bayaphumela emisebenzini yabo befunisisa ukudla; ihlane lingukudla kwabo abakunika abantwana babo.

Bakhululile imichilo yabo, bangithobisa; balahlile itomu phambi kwami.

Ngalokho uyazi imisebenzi yabo; uyabagumbuqela ebusuku, bachotshozwe.

Uma belalela , bamkhonze, bayakuqeda imihla yabo ebuhlen i neminyaka yabo kukho okumnandi.

Ukhulula ompofu ngobumpofu bakhe, avule indlebe yabo ngokuhlupheka.

Iphi indlela eya lapho kuhlala khona ukukhanya , nobumnyama-ke, iphi indawo yabo,

Uyasindisa enkembeni yemilomo yabo , yebo, abampofu esandleni sonamandla.

abakuvuna kwabo kudliwa ngabalambileyo, bakukhipha nasemeveni ; abanxanelayo basezela impahla yabo.

Lapho uNkulunkulu esebona izenzo zabo ukuthi babuya endleleni yabo embi, uNkulunkulu wazisola ngokubi owayeshilo ukuthi uyakukwenza kubo , akakwenzanga.

Kwathi lapho uJoshuwa nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli sebeqedile ukubaceka ngokuceka ok ukhulu kakhulu baze baqedwa , insali yabo nokho isingenile emizini ebiyelweyo,

UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa : Ungesabi ngenxa yabo , ngokuba kusasa ngalesi sikhathi ngizakubanikela bonke bebulewe ngaphambi kuka -Israyeli; wena uyakunquma amahhashi abo imisipha, uzishise izinqola zabo ngomlilo.

Abaqamekeleyo bashesha basuka endaweni yabo , bagijima lapho eselula isandla sakhe , bangena emzini , bawuthatha; bawuthungela ngomlilo masinyane.

Bonke abakwa -Israyeli namalunga abo , nezinduna zabo , nabahluleli babo babemi ngalapha nangalapha komphongo lo phambi kwabapristi bamaLevi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova , abafokazi nabokuzalwa ekhaya, inxenye yabo ibhekene nentaba yaseGerizimu , inxenye yabo ibhekene nentaba yase-Ebali, njengalokho uMose inceku kaJehova ebeyalile , ukuba babusise abantu bakwa-Israyeli kuqala.

nathengisa ngabantwana bakwaJuda nangabantwana baseJerusalema kumadodana aseJavani ukuba nibadedisele kude nemikhawulo yabo.

ONadabi no-Abihu amadodana ka-Aroni bathatha bobabili imicengezi yabo yomlilo, bafaka umlilo kuyo , babeka impepho phezulu , banikela phambi kukaJehova ngomlilo ongafanele, angabayalanga ngawo.

Nanxa owesilisa noma owesifazane enamabala akhanyayo esikhumbeni senyama yabo, amabala amhlophe akhanyayo,

khona umpristi wobheka; uma amabala akhanyayo asesikhumbeni senyama yabo emhloshana efiphele, bheka, kuyisithembuzane esiqhamukile.

Ngalokho abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bayakuletha imi hlatshelo yabo abayihlaba endle, bayilethe kuJehova ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana, kumpristi, banikele ngayo ibe yiminikelo yokuthula kuJehova.

Abasayikuhlabela amademoni imihlatshelo yabo abaye kuwo ukuphinga . Lokho kuyakuba yisimiso esiphakade kubo ezizukulwaneni zabo.

Ningenzi n jengokwemisebenzi yezwe laseGibithe enahlala kulo , ningenzi futhi njengokwemisebenzi yezwe laseKhanani enginiyisa kulo , ningahambi ngemithetho yabo.

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

Ngokuba isifuba sokuzuliswa nomlenze woku phakanyiswa ngikuthabathe kwabakwa-Israyeli emihlatshelweni yeminikelo yabo yokuthula, ngakunika u- Aroni umpristi namadodana akhe , kube yisimiso esiphakade kwabakwa - Israyeli.

uJehova amyala ngawo uMose entabeni yaseSinayi mhla eyala abakwa - Israyeli ukuba banikele ngeminikelo yabo kuJehova ehlane laseSinayi.

Wayeseletha amadodana ka -Aroni, uMose walibheca igazi esicutshini sendlebe yabo yokunene, nasesithupheni sesandla sabo sokunene, nakuqukula wonyawo lwabo lokunene; uMose wafafaza i-altare ngegazi nxazonke.

Ngiyakusondela kini ukwahlulela , ngibe ngufakazi osheshayo ngabalumbi , nangeziphingi, nangabafunga amanga , nangabacindezela abaqashwa ngenkokhelo yabo , nabafelokazi, nezintandane, nabachezukisa abafokazi , bengangesabi mina, usho uJehova Sebawoti.

Wo! kwabaceba ububi, benze okubi emibhedeni yabo! Ekukhanyeni kokusa bayakwenza, ngokuba kusemandleni ezandla zabo.

Umfohli ukhuphuka ngaphambi kwabo ; sebefohlile, badlulela esangweni, baphuma ngalo; inkosi yabo idlulile phambi kwabo, noJehova usesihlokweni sabo.

nina enizonda okuhle , nithanda okubi , enebula kubo isikhumba sabo , nenyama yabo emathanjeni abo,

Suka ubhule , ndodakazi yaseSiyoni , ngokuba ngiyakwenza uphondo lwakho lube yinsimbi , nezinselo zakho ngizenze insimbi ; uyakuchoboza abantu abaningi, kwahlukaniselwe uJehova inzuzo yabo, nemfuyo yabo kuyo iNkosi yomhlaba wonke.

Ngokuba uJehova uyabuyisa ukuphakama kukaJakob e njengokuphakama kuka-Israyeli, lokhu abathululayo bebathululile, bachitha amagatsha emivini yabo.

Nazi izinhloko zezwe ezazihlala eJerusalema ; kepha emizini yakwaJuda bahlala emizini yabo , kwaba yilowo nalowo efeni lakhe : abakwa-Israyeli, nabapristi, namaLevi, namaNethini, nabantwana bezinceku zikaSolomoni.

Emva kwabo kwalungisa oB enjamini noHashubi malungana nendlu yabo . Emva kwabo kwalungisa u-Azariya indodana kaMahaseya ka-Ananiya eceleni kwendlu yakhe.

Eceleni kwabo kwalungisa abaseThekhowa , kepha abakhulu babo abafakanga izintamo zabo emsebenzini wenkosi yabo.

Ngase ngimisa ngenzansi ezindaweni ezisemva kogange nakwezisobala abantu ngemindeni yabo, benezinkemba zabo, nemikhonto yabo, neminsalo yabo.

Ngase ngikhuleka ngathi : Yizwa, Nkulunkulu wethu , ngokuba sidelelekile, ubuyisele inhlamba yabo phezu kw amakhanda abo , ubanikele ukuba baphangwe ezweni lokuthunjwa;

Kepha sakhuleka kuNkulunkulu wethu , sabamisela abalindi imini nobusuku ngenxa yabo.

Ake nibuyisele namhlanje amasimu abo , nezivini zabo, neminqumo yabo, nezindlu zabo , nenxenye yekhulu yemali , neyamabele, neyewayini, neyamafutha enikubiza kubo kube yinzalo.

Ngavuthulula ingubo yami , ngathi: UNkulunkulu makavuthulule kanjalo bonke abantu abangagcini leli zwi ezindlini zabo nasemfuyweni yabo ; mabavuthululwe kanjalo , babe yize . Lonke ibandla lathi : Amen, ladumisa uJehova. Abantu base benza njengalelo zwi.

Kwakulotshwe kuyo ukuthi: Kuzwakele ezizweni, naye uGashimu uthi wena nabaJuda nihlose ukuhlubuka, okungalokho uvusa ugange, ube yinkosi yabo; yebo, anjalo amazwi.

Amahhashi abo ayengamakhulu ayisikhombisa namashumi amathathu nesithupha; iminyuzi yabo yayingamakhulu amabili namashumi amane nanhlanu;

Base behlala -ke abapristi , namaLevi, nabalindisango, nabahlabeleli, nabanye abantu, namaNethini, naye wonke u -Israyeli emizini yabo . Kwathi lapho inyang a yesikhombisa isifikile , abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babe semizini yabo.

bezwakalise, bathumele izwi emizini yabo yonke naseJerusalema lokuthi : Phumani, niye entabeni, nilande amagatsha omnqumo , namagatsha omnqumo wasendle , namagatsha ombomvana , namagatsha esundu , namagatsha emithi edumbileyo, nenze amadokodo njengokulotshiweyo.

Wabanika nomoya wakho omuhle ukubafundisa; awugodlanga imana lakho emilonyeni yabo, wabanika amanzi ngokoma kwabo.

wabaxwayisa ukuba ubabuyisele emthethweni wakho, kepha baqholosha, kabayilalelanga imiyalo yakho, kodwa bona ezahlulelweni zakho, okothi uma umuntu ezenza , uyakuphila ngazo , baphendula ihlombe ngenkani , benza lukhuni intamo yabo, abaze bezwa.

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.

UMose wezwa abantu bekhala emindenini yabo , kwaba yilowo nalowo muntu ngasemnyango wetende lakhe ; intukuthelo kaJehova yavutha kakhulu; kwakukubi emehlweni kaMose.

umhlaba wavula umlomo wawo , wabagwinya nezindlu zabo , nabantu bonke bakaKora, nempahla yabo yonke.

imicengezi yalaba boni abone imiphefumulo yabo ibe ngongcwecwe abakhandiweyo abayak ulimboza i -altare, ngokuba banikela ngayo phambi kukaJehova; ngalokho ingcwele ; iyakuba luphawu kubantwana bakwa - Israyeli.

Lokhu kuyakuba ngokwakho ezintweni ezin gcwelengcwele ezisale emlilweni: yonke iminikelo yabo , yonke iminikelo yabo yempuphu , nayo yonke iminikelo yabo yesono , nayo yonke iminikelo yabo yecala abanikela ngayo kimi iyakuba ngcwelengcwele kuwe nakumadodana akho.

Babutha inhlangano yonke ngolokuqala lwenyanga yesibili , basho okhokho babo ngemindeni yabo nangezindlu zawoyise njengokomumo wamagama , kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabili kuya phezulu , ngezinhloko zabo.

U-Israyeli wenza isithembiso kuJehova, wathi: Uma unikela nokunikela laba bantu esandleni sami, ngiyakuchitha impela imizi yabo.

UBalaki wayesethi kuye : Ake uze nami , siye kwenye indawo , lapho ungababona khona ; uyakubona inxenye yabo kuphela , ungaboni bonke ; ungiqalekisele bona uselapho.

Benze njalo -ke abantwana bakwa -Israyeli: njengakho konke uJehova amyale ngakho uMose , kanjalo bamisa ngasemabhaneleni abo , kanjalo basuka, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngemindeni yabo nangezindlu zawoyise.

Yonke imizi yabo yasezindaweni , lapho bebehlala khona , nawo onke amakamu abo bakushisa ngomlilo.

nikuthathe enxenyeni yabo , nikunike u -Eleyazare umpristi , kube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kaJehova.

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bathumba abesifazane bakwaMidiyani nabancane babo; nazo zonke izinkomo zabo , nazo zonke izimvu zabo , nayo yonke impahla yabo bakuthatha kwaba yimpango yabo.

kepha thina uqobo lwethu siyakushesha sihlome , sihambe phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, size sibafinyelelise endaweni yabo , abancane bethu bahlale emizini ebiyelweyo ngenxa yabakhileyo ezweni.

niyakuxosha bonke abakhile yo ezweni phambi kwenu , nichithe yonke imifanekiso yabo , nibulale zonke izithombe zabo ezibunjiweyo , nibhidlize zonke izindawo zabo eziphakemeyo,

Bala abantwana bakwaLevi ngezindlu zawoyise nangemindeni yabo ; uyakubala bonke abesilisa kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu.

Bonke ababalwayo bamaLevi ababalwa nguMose nangu -Aroni ngesiyalezo sikaJehova ngemindeni yabo, bonke abesilisa kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu, babe yizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili.

U-Efrayimi uyakuba njengeqhawe ; inhliziyo yabo iyakuthokoza njengangewayini; abantwana babo bayakukubona, bathokoze; inhliziyo yabo iyakujabula kuJehova.

Kuyakuthi ngaleso sikhathi ngicwaninge iJerusalema ngezibani , ngihambele abantu abajiyile enhleseni yabo , abathi e zinhliziyweni zabo : UJehova akenzi okuhle, akenzi nokubi.

Ingcebo yabo iyakuba yimpango , nezindlu zabo incithakalo ; bayakwakha izindlu, kepha abayikuhlala kuzo , batshale izivini , bangaliphuzi kodwa iwayini lazo.

Ngiyakucindezela abantu , bahambe njengezimpumputhe, ngokuba bonile kuJehova; igazi labo liyakuthululwa njengothuli , nenyama yabo njengomquba.
