Amahhashi uSolomoni ayenawo ayekhishwe eGibithe naseKuwe; abathengi benkosi bawamukela eKuwe ngemali yawo.

Mina sengihamba indlela yawo wonke umhlaba ; ngalokho qina , ube yindoda,

Abapristi bawungenisa umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova endaweni yawo egumbini lendlu , indawo engcwelengcwele , phansi kwamaphiko amakherubi.

UDavide wabuthela wonke u -Israyeli eJerusalema ukukhuphulela umphongolo kaJehova endaweni yawo awulungisele yona.

UDavide wamaphuca izinqola eziyinkulungwane , nabamahhashi abayizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa , nemigundatshani eyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili; uDavide wanquma imisipha yawo onke amahhashi ezinqola, washiya awezinqola eziyikhulu kodwa.

Ngokuba indawo yawo yayingasesandleni samadodana ka-Aroni ukukhonza endlini kaJehova, nasemagcekeni, nasemakamelweni, nokuhlambulula zonke izinto ezingcwele, nomsebenzi wenkonzo endlini kaNkulunkulu,

Bahlala kwaGileyadi eBashani nasemizini yalo nasemadlelweni onke aseSharoni kwaze kwaba semikhawulweni yawo.

Lezi ziyizindawo zawo zokuhlala njengamakamu awo emikhawulweni yawo: amadodana ka -Aroni emindeni yamaKohati ngokuba yiwona adliwa yinkatho yokuqala

Kodwa amasimu omuzi nemizana yawo bakunika uKalebi , indodana kaJefune.

nasesizweni sakwaBenjamini, iGeba namadlelo alo , ne-Alemeti namadlelo alo, ne-Anathoti namadlelo alo . Yonke imizi yawo ngemindeni yawo yayiyimizi eyishumi nantathu.

namadodana kaGereshomu ngemindeni yawo esizweni sakwa -Isakare, nasesizweni sakwa -Asheri, nasesizweni sakwaNafetali , nasesizweni sakwaManase, eBashani, imizi eyishumi nantathu,

namadodana kaMerari ngenkatho ngemindeni yawo esizweni sakwaRubeni, nasesizweni sakwaGadi, nasesizweni sakwaZebuloni imizi eyishumi nambili.

Amadodana ka -Eliphahali: ngo-Ebere, noMishamu, noShemedi, abakha i - Ono neLodi nemizana yawo,

Amadiyakoni mawabe ngamadoda amfazi munye , abusa kahle abantwana bawo nemizi yawo.

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

USawule wayesenyuka ebuya ekulandeleni amaFilisti; aya endaweni yawo.

athumba abesifazane ababe phakathi , abancane nabakhulu engabulalang a muntu, abamukisa, ahamba indlela yawo.

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

AmaFilisti abiza abapristi nababhuli , athi: Siyakwenze njani ngomphongolo kaJehova na? Saziseni ukuthi singawubuyisela kanjani endaweni yawo.

Kwathi ngesikhathi umphongolo owayiswa ngaso ezinduneni zenkosi ngesandla samaLevi , nalapho zibona ukuthi imali iningi , umbhali wenkosi nenduna yompristi omkhulu beza , bawuthulula umphongolo , bawuthatha, bawubuyisela endaweni yawo . Benze njalo imihla ngemihla , baqoqa imali eningi.

Abapristi ba wungenisa umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova endaweni yawo egumbini lendlu , indawo engcwelengcwele , phansi kwamaphiko amakherubi.

Kepha usuku lweNkosi luyakufika njengesela mhla amazulu eyakudlula ngokuhlokoma; kuyakusha konke, kubhidlike; nomhlaba nemisebenzi yawo kuyakusha.

okuyisiboniso sokwahlulela okulungileyo kukaNkulunkulu , ukuze kuthiwe ningabalungele umbuso kaNkulunkulu enihlupheka ngenxa yawo,

Kwathi besesendleleni, kwafika izwi kuDavide , lithi: U-Abisalomu ubulele onke amadodana enkosi, akusalanga neyodwa yawo.

Inkosi yathi kuSadoki : Buyisela emzini umphongolo k aNkulunkulu; uma ngiyakufumana umusa emehlweni kaJehova , uyakungibuyisa, angibonise wona nendlu yawo;

Bawungenisa umphongolo kaJehova , bawubeka endaweni yawo phakathi kwetende uDavide alimisele wona ; uDavide wanik ela ngeminikelo yokushiswa nangeminikelo yokuthula phambi kukaJehova.

UDavide wamaphuca abamahhashi abayinkulungwane namakhulu ayisikhombisa nemigundatshani eyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili ; uDavide wanquma imisipha yawo onke amahhashi ezinqola , washiya awezinqola eziyikhulu kodwa.

Umatisa imisele yawo , ulalisa amasoyi awo ; uwuthambisa ngezihlambi , ubusise okumila kuwo.

amalunga angamashumi amabili nane awa phansi phambi kwakhe ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi , akhuleka kuye ophilayo kuze kube phakade naphakade, aphonsa imiqhele yawo phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi, ethi:

Nakanjalo ngabona ngombono amahhashi nabakhwele kuwo benezivi kelo zezifuba, zibomvu njengomlilo nezehiyakinte nezesibabule ; namakhanda amahhashi ayenjengamakhanda ezingonyama, nasemilonyeni yawo kuphuma umlilo, nomusi, nesibabule.

Ngalezo zinhlupho ezintathu kwabulawa okwesithathu kwabantu ngomlilo , nangomusi, nangesibabule, okwaphuma emilonyeni yawo.

Ngokuba amandla amahhashi asemilonyeni yawo nasemisileni yawo ; ngokuba imisila yawo ifana nezinyoka, inamakhanda ona ngawo.

Iso lami lenza umphefumulo wami ube buhlung u ngenxa yawo onke amadodakazi omuzi wakithi.

Uyavuka kuse sebusuku , aphe abendlu yakhe ukudl a namantombazana akhe imisebenzi yawo.

Khona uPawulu wawathatha lawo madoda , ngangomuso wayesezihlambulula kanye nawo , wangena ethempelini , wabika ukuphela kwezinsuku zokuhlanjululwa, kuze kulethwe umnikelo ngenxa yawo onke. AbaJuda bavusa umsindo; uPawulu uyaboshwa

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

Kanjalo amadoda afanele ukuthanda omkawo njengemizimba yawo . Othanda umkakhe uzithanda yena.

Encane yawo yayisithi kuyise : Baba, nginike isabelo sefa esiqondene nami ; wawahlukanisela impahla.

Enye yawo isibona ukuthi iphulukisiwe , yabuya imdumisa uNkulunku lu ngezwi elikhulu,

USathane wathi k uye: Amandla onke lana ngokunika wena kanye nenkazimulo yawo , ngokuba inikwe mina , futhi ngiyinika noma ubani ngokuthanda kwami.

Amadodana kaGereshoni: ngoLibini noShimeyi ngemindeni yawo.

U-Eleyazare indodana ka -Aroni wazithathela enye yamadodakazi kaPhuthiyeli, ibe ngumkakhe; yamzalela uFinehasi. Yilezi izinhloko zawoyise bamaLevi ngemindeni yawo.

Ngalokho babiza lezo zinsuku ngokuthi iPhurimi ngegama lePhure . Ngalokho ngenxa yawo onke amazwi aleyo ncwadi , nangenxa yalokho abebekubonile ngale ndaba, nalokho okubehleleyo,

Ngalokho ngiyakuzamazamisa izulu, umhlaba unyakaziswe endaweni yawo, ngentukuthelo kaJehova Sebawoti ngosuku lokuvutha kwentukuthelo yakhe.

Ngalolo suku iNkosi iyakususa imihlobiso yawo : izigqizo, nemiqhele, nezimbedu ezinjengenyanga,

Ushisa inxenye yawo emlilweni ; phezu kwale nxenye uyadla inyama , ose izoso, asuthe; yebo, uyotha athi: Halala! Sengifudumele, ngibonile umlilo.

Akakho okhumbulayo , nokwazi nokuqonda akukho kokuba kuthiwe : Ngishisile inxenye yawo ngomlilo , ngenzile isinkwa phezu kwamala hle awo, ngosile inyama , ngayidla; ngingenza okuseleyo kuwo kube yisinengiso , ngikhothamele umbhuku womuthi, na?

kanjalo iyakwethusa izizwe eziningi; amakhosi ayakuvala imilomo yawo ngenxa yayo, ngokuba lokho angatshelwanga khona ayakukubona , nalokho angakuzwanga ayakukuqonda.

Manje-ke kungeniswe phambi kwami abahlakaniphileyo nabathwebulayo ukuba bafunde lo mbhalo , bangazise incazelo yawo , kepha behl uleka ukubonakalisa incazelo yale ndaba.

Kepha ngizwe ngawe ukuthi ungaveza izincazelo , uthukulule amafindo ; manje-ke uma ungafunda lo mbhalo , ungazise incazelo yawo , uyakwembathiswa okububende , ube nomgexo wegolide entanyeni yakho , ubuse ube ngowesithathu embusweni.

Inkosi yamemeza ngamandla ukuba kulethwe abathwebulayo , namaKaledi, nabahlola imihlola . Yayisikhuluma inkosi , yathi kwabahlakaniphileyo baseBabele: Ongafunda lo mbhalo , angitshele incazelo yawo uyakwembathiswa okububende , abe nomgexo wegolide entanyeni yakhe , abuse engowesithathu embusweni.

Uyakuyibuthela yonke impango yawo phakathi nesigcawu sawo , uwushise umuzi ngomlilo, nayo yonke impango yawo , ibe ngumnikelo oshiswa wonke kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ube yinxiwa njalo, ungabe usakhiwa futhi.

kepha abesifazane , nabantwana, nezinkomo, nakho konke okusemzini, yebo, yonke impango yawo , uyakukuthatha kube yimpango yakho , uyidle impango yezitha zakho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunike yona.

Labo babe ngamadodana kaHamu ngemindeni yawo nangezilimi zawo emazweni awo nasezizweni zawo.

Laba babe ngamadodana kaShemi ngemindeni yawo nangezilimi zawo , emazweni awo nasezizweni zawo.

namaHori entabeni yawo iSeyiri, kwaze kwaba se-Eli Pharanu ngasehlane.

yilawo angamadodana ka -Ishmayeli, yilawo angamagama awo ngemizi yawo nangezikaniso zawo, izikhulu eziyishumi nambili ngezizwe zawo.

Wonke umzimba wawo, nemihlane yawo, nezandla zawo, namaphiko awo, namasondo kwakugcwele amehlo nxazonke ; yebo, amasondo lawa omane ayenawo.

Wena ndodana yomuntu, bhekisa ubuso bakho kuwo amadodakazi abantu bakho aprofetha okwenhliziyo yawo, uprofethe ngawo,

noma ebekhona phakathi kwalo lawa madoda amathathu , oNowa, noDaniyeli, noJobe, wona ayeyakophula imiphefumulo yawo kuphela ngokulunga kwawo, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Kepha bheka , kuyakushiywa kulo ababalekileyo abayakukhishwa , amadodana namadodakazi; bheka, ayakuphumela kini, nibone indlela yawo nemisebenzi yawo , niduduzwe ngokubi engehlisele khona phezu kweJerusalema, yebo, ngakho konke engehlisele khona phezu kwalo.

Ayakuniduduza, lapho nibona indlela yawo nemisebenzi yawo , nazi ukuthi angenzanga n gaphandle kwesizathu konke engikwenzileyo phakathi kwalo , isho iNkosi uJehova.

Wakhanukela amashende akhona , anyama yawo injengenyama yezimbongolo, namaphambili awo anjengawamahhashi.

Encithakalweni yawo kuyakuhlala zonke izinyoni zezulu , zonke izilwane zasendle zibe semagatsheni awo

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Ngosuku owehlela ngalo endaweni yabafileyo ngalwenza utwa ukuba lulile , ngalusibekela, ngavimba imifula yalo, namanzi amaningi avalelwa ; ngalenza iLebanoni libe mnyama ngenxa yawo; imithi yonke yasendle yadangala ngenxa yawo.

Nayo yehlela kanye nawo endaweni yabafileyo kwabagwaziweyo ngenkemba, ababe yingalo yawo , ababehlela emthunzini wawo phakathi kwezizwe.

Amanzi awukhulisa , utwa lwawuphakamisa ; imifula yawo yahamb a yazungeza indawo yokutshalwa kwawo ; yayisithuma imisele yayo kuyo yonke imithi yasendle.

Wawusumuhle ebukhulwini bawo , ngobude bamagatsha awo , ngokuba impande yawo yayingasemanzini amaningi.

Ngaphambi kwamakamelo kwakukhona indlela yokuhamba , ububanzi bayo buyizingalo eziyishumi ngaphakathi, nobude bayo b uyizingalo eziyikhulu ; iminyango yawo yayingasenyakatho.

Kepha isikhulu , siyisikhulu, siyakuhlala kulo , sidle phambi kukaJehova ; siyakungena ngendlela yompheme wesango, siphume ngendlela yawo futhi.

Lapho isikhulu singena , siyakungena ngendlela yompheme wesango , siphume futhi ngendlela yawo.

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.

Futhi ngiyakunikela yonke imfuyo yalo muzi , nayo yonke imisebenzi yawo, nakho konke kwawo okuyigugu , yebo, yonke ingcebo yamakhosi akwaJuda esandleni sezitha zabo, ziyiphange, ziyithathe, ziyiyise eBabele.

Njengalokho uNkulunkulu wachitha iSodoma neGomor a nemizi yawo eyakheleneyo, usho uJehova , kanjalo akuy ikuhlala muntu khona , kungagogobali khona indodana yomuntu.

ngokuba umchithi uyalehlela , alehlele iBabele, amaqhawe alo ayabanjwa , neminsalo yawo iyaphulwa , ngokuba uJehova unguNkulunkulu wemivuzo , uyakhokha nokukhokha.

Noma impande yawo iguga emhlabathini, nesiphunzi sawo sifela othulini,

Uma umhlaba wami ukhalile ngami, nemisele yawo ililile kanyekanye;

Emihleni yakho uyalile ukusa, wazisa umthende wokusa indawo yawo

lapho elala emihumeni yawo, ehlezi esikhundleni eqamekele, na?

ozamazamisa umhlaba usuke endaweni yawo, kuthuthumele izinsika zawo;

Kepha uJona wasuka ebusweni bukaJehova ukuba abalekele eTharishishi , wehlela eJopha , wafumana umkhumbi obuyakuya eTharishishi ; wakhokha imali yawo, wakhwela kuwo, ukuba ahambe nawo , aye eTharishishi, asuke ebusweni bukaJehova.

UJoshuwa wafika ngaleso sikhathi , wanquma ama -Anaki ezintabeni eHebroni, naseDebiri, nase-Anabi, nasezintabeni zakwaJuda , nasezintabeni zakwa-Israyeli, uJoshuwa wawaqothula kanye nemizi yawo.

Ngokuba abantwana bakwaJosefa ba be yizizwe ezimbili , oManase no - Efrayimi; abawanikanga amaLevi isabelo ezweni , kuphela imizi ukuhlala kuyo, namadlelo ayo ezinkomo zawo, neyemfuyo yawo.

Kepha amasimu omuzi nemizana yawo bamnika khona uKalebi indodana kaJefune kube yifa lakhe.

Yonke imizi y amaGereshoni ngemindeni yawo yayiyimizi eyishumi nantathu namadlelo ayo.

Kwathi lapho abapristi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova sebenyuke phakathi kweJordani , amathe ezinyawo zabapristi esefike emhlabathini owomileyo , amanzi aseJordani abuyela endaweni yawo , aphuphuma lonke ugu njengakuqala.

Izwe lamadlelo emizi yawo akunakuthengiswa ngalo , ngokuba liyifa lawo kuze kube phakade.

Umpristi ashise okuyisikhumbuzo sawo, inxenye yamabele agquliweyo awo nenxenye yamafutha awo kanye nayo yonke inhlaka yawo ; kungumnikelo womlilo kuJehova.

awulethe kumadodana ka -Aroni, abapristi, acaphune kuwo ngokhweshe wempuphu ecolekileyo yawo nowamafutha awo, kanye nayo yonke inhlaka yawo, umpristi awushise ube yisikhumbuzo sawo e-altare, umnikelo womlilo, ube yiphunga elimnandi kuJehova;

Konke okuyakuthinta inyama yawo kuyakuba ngcwele; nxa ingubo ifafazwa ngegazi lawo, lapho kufafazwe khona uyakukugeza endaweni engcwele.

naseZanowa, nase-Adulamu nasemizaneni yawo , naseLakishi inamasimu alo, nase-Azeka nasemizaneni yalo. Bamisa kusukela eBeri Sheba ukuze kube sesigodini sikaHinomu.

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bathi kuye : Siyakukhuphuka ngomgwaqo; uma siphuza amanzi akho , mina nezinkomo zami , ngiyakukhokhela imali yawo . Mangidabule nje ngezinyawo zami, kungabi ngokunye.

UJehova walilalela izwi lika -Israyeli, wanikela amaKhanani; bawaqothula kanye nemizi yawo; igama laleyo ndawo lathiwa iHorma. Inyoka yethusi
