Amadodana kaShela indodana kaJud a: ngu-Eri, uyise kaLekha, noLahada uyise kaMaresha, nemindeni yendlu yabaluka ilineni elicolekileyo bendlu ka - Ashibeya,

Bheka, izinsuku ziyeza engiyakunquma ngazo ingalo yakho nengalo yendlu kayihlo ukuba kungabikho xhegu endlini yakho.

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

USamuweli walala kwaze kwasa , wavula iminyango yendlu kaJehova . USamuweli wesaba ukumtshela u-Eli umbono.

UPheka, indodana kaRemaliya, induna yakhe wamenzela ugobe, wamgenca eSamariya enqabeni yendlu yenkosi kanye no-Arigobi no-Ariye; wayenabantu bakwaGileyadi abangamashumi ayisihlanu ; wambulala, waba yi nkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Wahamba ngendlela yendlu ka -Ahabi, wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengokwenza kwendlu ka-Ahabi, ngokuba wayengumkhwenyana wendlu ka- Ahabi.

U-Ahaziya, inkosi yakwaJuda, esebone lokho wabaleka ngendlela yendlu yasensimini. Kepha uJehu wamlandela , wathi: Mbulaleni naye enqoleni yakhe. Benze njalo -ke ngasemmangweni waseGuri ongaseJibileyamu . Wabalekela eMegido, wafela khona.

U-Asa wakhipha isiliva negolide engcebeni yendlu kaJeho va nasendlini yenkosi, wathumela kuBeni Hadadi, inkosi yase-Aramu owahlala eDamaseku, wathi:

Kepha u-Athaliya, unina ka-Ahaziya, esebonile ukuthi indodana yakhe ifile wasuka wachitha yonke imbewu yobukhosi yendlu kaJuda.

Wathatha lonke igolide nesiliva , nazo zonke izitsha ezafunyanwa end lini kaJehova ku -Obede Edomi , nengcebo yendlu yenkosi , nabayisibambiso, wabuyela eSamariya.

Neminikelo yokushiswa yayiminingi kanye namanoni eminikelo yokuthula neminikelo yokuphuzwa yeminikelo yokushiswa . Yayisihleliwe in konzo yendlu kaJehova.

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

Wasusa onkulunkulu babezizwe nesithombe endlini kaJehova , nawo onke ama-altare ayewakhile entabeni yendlu kaJehova naseJerusalema , wakulahla ngaphandle komuzi.

Zonke izitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu , ezinkulu nezincane, nengcebo yendlu kaJehova, nengcebo yenkosi neyezikhulu zayo , konke lokho wakuyisa eBabele.

nezizenze, nezitsha, nezinkezo, nemicengezi yomlilo , ngegolide elicwengekileyo; iminyango-ke yendlu, izivalo zayo ezingaphakathi zendawo engcwelengcwele nezivalo zendlu yethempeli, zaziyigolide.

Bafika abantu bakwaJuda , bamgcoba khona uDavide abe yinkosi yendlu yakwaJuda. Bamtshela uDavide ukuthi : Abantu baseJabesh i Gileyadi yibo abammbela uSawule.

kuyakuthi noma yikuphi okuphuma eminyango yendlu yami ukungihlangabeza, lapho ngibuya ngokuthula kubantwana bakwa -Amoni, kube ngokukaJehova, nginikele ngakho kube ngumnikelo wokushiswa.

Ngenxa yendlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu ngiyakukufunela okuhle.

Imishayo yendlu yethu iyimisedari, nemiqhadi iyimisayipuresi.

Amanzi amaningi awanakulucima uthando, nemifula ayinakuluminzisa; uma umuntu ebeyakunika yonke impahla yendlu yakhe ngothando , nokho ubeyakwaliwa nokwaliwa. Umakoti nabafowabo Abangane:

Ngakho lindani, ngokuba anazi ukuthi inkosi yendlu iyakufika nini , noma ngokuhlwa, noma phakathi kobusuku , noma ngokukhala kwezinkuku , noma ekuseni,

OBesaleli no -Oholiyabe bayakusebenza nabo bonke abahlakaniphile ngenhliziyo, uJehova abeke kubo ukuhlakanipha nokuqonda ukuba bazi ukwenza yonke imisebenzi yenkonzo yendlu e ngcwele njengakho konke uJehova akuyalileyo.

Bawamukela kuMos e wonke umnikelo , abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ababewulethele umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu engcwele ukuba wenziwe ngawo. Kepha babesaletha kuye njalo imihla ngemihla ekuseni iminikelo yesihle.

Bonke abahlakaniphileyo ababeyisebenza yonke imisebenzi yendlu engcwele beza, kwaba yilowo nalowo wavela emsebenzini wakhe owawusebenzayo,

Seziphelile lezo zinsuku , inkosi yenzela abantu bonke ab abe khona eShushani endlini yenkosi , abakhulu nabancane , idili izinsuku eziyisikhombisa egcekeni lensimu yendlu yenkosi.

Intombi yayiyinhle emehlweni akhe , yafumana umusa kuye ; washesha wayinika izinto zokuqhola , nezabelo zayo , nezintombi eziyisikhombisa ezazikhethelwe yona zivela endlini yenkosi , wayiyisa yona nezintombi zayo endaweni enhle yendlu yabesifazane.

Yayisisukuma inkosi ngolaka lwayo edilini lewayini , yaya ensimini yendlu yenkosi; uHamani wasukuma ukunxusa u -Esteri inkosikazi ngokuphila kwakhe, ngokuba wabona ukuthi usenqunyelwe okubi yinkosi.

Inkosi isibuya ensimini yendlu yenkosi , ingene endlini yedili lewayini , uHamani wayesewele embhedeni u -Esteri ayekuwo . Yayisithi inkosi : Uyakuyiphoqa inkosikazi phambi kwami lapha endlini na ? Lapho liphuma leli zwi emlonyeni wenkosi, bamboza ubuso bukaHamani.

Izitsha onikwe zona ukuba zibe ngezenkonzo yendlu kaNkulunkulu wakho , zibuyisele phambi kukaNkulunkulu waseJerusalema.

Kuyakuthi ngezinsuku ezizay o intaba yendlu kaJehova iqiniswe esiqongweni sezintaba , iphakame kunamagquma , nezizwe zonke ziyakugobhozela khona.

Ngilalele wena ndlu kaJakobe , yonke insali yendlu yakwa -Israyeli engiyithwesiweyo kwasesiswini, yabekwa phezu kwami kwasesizalweni.

Inkazimulo yaseLebanoni iyakuza kuwe , umsayipuresi, nomthidari, nomkhoba kanyekanye , ukuyihlobisa indawo yendlu yami engcwele , ngiyikhazimulise indawo yezinyawo zami.

Yebo, lwazikhulisa kwaze kwaba nasesikhulwini sebandla , lwasaphuca umnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke , nendawo yendlu yaso engcwele yaphonswa phansi.

Kepha u-Abrama wathi : Nkosi Jehova , uyakungiphani na ? Ngihamba ngingenamntwana; indlalifa yendlu yami ingu-Eliyezeri waseDamaseku.

U-Abrama wathi futhi : Bheka, awunginikanga nzalo; bheka, inceku yendlu yami iyakuba yindlalifa yami.

Wayesethi u -Abrahama encekwini enkulu yendlu yakhe eya yibusa konke anakho: Beka isandla sakho phansi kwethanga lami.

Asondela-ke encekwini yendlu kaJosefa , akhuluma kuyo ngasemnyango wendlu,

Wayala inceku yendlu yakhe , wathi: Gcwalisa amasaka alawa madoda ngokudla okulingene namandla abo okuthwala , ufake imali yalowo nalowo emlonyeni wesaka lakhe.

Kalokhu akuyinina enangithuma lapha, kepha uNkulunkulu; ungibeke uyise kaFaro, nenkosi yendlu yakhe yonke, nombusi wezwe lonke laseGibithe.

Nabheka okuningi ; bhekani, kwaphenduka okuncane ; lapho nakuletha ekhaya, ngakuphephetha. Ngani na? usho uJehova Sebawoti. Ngenxa yendlu yami eyize, nina nisagijimela, kube yilowo nalowo endlini yakhe.

Isandla sami siyakumelana nabaprofethi ababona okuyize nababhula amanga; abayikuba semkhandlwini wabantu bami , bangalotshwa encwadini yendlu yakwa -Israyeli, bangangeni ezweni lakwa -Israyeli, nazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uJehova.

uthi kubo: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Ngosuku engakhetha ngalo u - Israyeli ngaphakamisela inzalo yendlu yakwaJakobe isandla sami , ngazazisa kubo ezweni laseGibithe , ngabaphakamisela isandla sami , ngathi: NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

Uyakuthatha inkunzi yomnikelo wesono , ishiswe endaweni yendlu emiselweyo ngaphandle kwendlu engcwele.

Yebo, ngiyakuwabeka abagcini benkonzo yendlu emsebenzini wonke wayo kukho konke okuyakwenziwa kuyo.

Kepha abapristi bamaLevi , amadodana kaSadoki , ababegcina inkonzo yendlu yami engcwele lapho abantwana bakwa -Israyeli beduka kimi , bayakusondela kimi , bangikhonze, beme phambi kwami , banikele kimi ngamanoni nangegazi, isho iNkosi uJehova;

UJehova wathi kimi : Ndodana yomuntu , beka inhl iziyo yakho , ubone ngamehlo akho, uzwe ngezindlebe zakho konke engikukhuluma kuwe ngazo zonke izimiso zendlu kaJehova nangayo yonke imithetho yayo , uqaphele indawo yendlu yokungena nazo zonke izindawo zokuphuma zendlu engcwele.

Kuyakuba phezu kwesikhulu ukuni kela ngeminikelo yokushiswa , nangeminikelo yempuphu , nangeminikelo yokuphuzwa emikhosini , nasekwethwaseni kwenyanga, nangamasabatha emikhosini yonke emisiweyo yendlu yakwa -Israyeli, silungise umnikelo wesono , nomnikelo wempuphu , nomnikelo wokushiswa , neminikelo yokuthula ukwenzela indlu yakwa - Israyeli ukubuyisana.

Kungokungcwele kwezwe , kungokwabapristi, izikhonzi zendlu engcwele ezisondela ukumkhonza uJehova , kube yindawo yezindlu zabo nendawo engcwele yendlu engcwele.

Indawo yendlu yethu engcwel e iyisihlalo sobukhosi esinenkazimul o esiphakemeyo.

kepha ukuthi: Kuphila kukaJehova owayikhuphula , wayihola inzalo yendlu ka-Israyeli ezweni lasenyakatho nas emazweni onke lapho ngangibaxoshele khona. Iyakwakha ezweni lakubo. Abaprofethi bamanga

UMika waseMoresheti waprofetha ezinsukwini zikaHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda, washo kubo bonke abantu bakwaJuda , wathi: U sho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: ISiyoni liyakulinywa njengensimu, iJerusalema libe yincithakalo, intaba yendlu ibe yizindawo eziphakemeyo zamahlathi.

Zwanini izwi likaJehova nina ndlu kaJakobe, nani mindeni yonke yendlu ka- Israyeli.

Imfuyo yendlu yakhe iyakumuka, inyamalale ngomuhla wentukuthelo.

ukuze ukuyise emkhawulweni wakho , uqonde imikhondo yendlu yakho, na?

nezikhulu eziyishumi kanye naye , isikhulu sibe sinye ngendlu kayise ezizweni zonke zakwa -Israyeli, yileso naleso siyinhloko yendlu kayise phakathi kwemindeni yakwa-Israyeli.

Kuyakuthi yilowo nalowo ophumela ngaphandle kweminyango yendlu yakho, igazi lakhe libe sekhanda lakhe , thina singabi nacala ; kodwa lowo okuwe endlini , igazi lakhe liyakuba sekhanda lethu , uma si bekwa isandla kuye.

Anidlanga ngani umnikelo wesono endaweni yendlu engcwele, njengokuba ungcwelengcwele, futhi niphiwe wona ukuba nisuse ububi benhlangano , niyenzele ukubuyisana phambi kukaJehova, na?

Ngalokho ngenxa yenu iSiyoni liyakulinywa njengensimu, iJerusalema libe yincithakalo, intaba yendlu ibe yizindawo eziphakemeyo zamahlathi.

Kepha kuyakuthi ngezinsuku ezizay o intaba yendlu kaJehov a iqiniswe esiqongweni sezintaba, iphakame kunamagquma, nabantu bayakugobhozela khona.

ngayaleza u Hanani umfowethu noHananiya induna yendlu yenkosi ukuba baphathe iJerusalema, ngokuba wayengumuntu othembekileyo , wamesaba uNkulunkulu kunabaningi.

Kwathi ngolwangakusasa uMose wangena etendeni lobufakazi ; bheka, intonga ka -Aroni yendlu kaLevi ibisihlum ile, ivezile imiqumbe , iqhakazile izimbali, ithele ama-alimondi avuthiweyo.

Bayakugcina imfanelo yakho nenkonzo yetende lonke ; kodwa abayikusondela empahleni yendlu engcwele nase -altare, ukuze bangafi, nabo nani.

Niyakugcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele nenkonzo yase -altare, ukuze ulaka lungabe lusaba khona phezu kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Kanye nani kuzakuba khona indoda ibe nye kuleso naleso sizwe , yileyo naleyo ibe yinhloko yendlu kayise.

UMose wabathuma empini , kwaba yinkulung wane kuleso naleso sizwe , bona noFinehasi indodana ka -Eleyazare umpristi, baye naye empini ephethe impahla yendlu engcwele namacilongo okuhlaba umkhosi esandleni sakhe.

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

U-Eleyazare indodana ka -Aroni umpristi uyakuba yisikhulu sezikhulu zamaLevi, abonise abagcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele.

Labo ab amisa phambi kwetabernakele ngasempumalanga , ngaphambi kwetende lokuhlangana ngasekuphumeni kwelanga , bayakuba ngoMose no - Aroni namadodana akhe, begcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele, begcina imfanelo yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; umfokazi osondelayo uyakubulawa.

Kepha amadodana kaKohati akawanikanga lutho , ngokuba inkonzo yendlu engcwele yayiyiwo eyawo; ayithwala emahlombe awo.

Ngiyakumisa ngibe yinqaba yendlu yami , ukuze kungabikho odlula yo nobuyayo; akusayikudlula mcindezeli kubo , ngokuba sengibonile ngawami amehlo. INkosi yaseSiyoni

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