Inkosi yayala uHilikiya umpristi , no-Ahikamu indodana kaShafani , no- Akibori indodana kaMikhaya, noShafani umbhali, no-Asaya inceku yenkosi , ithi:

UNahamani induna yempi yenkosi yase -Aramu wayengumuntu omkhulu phambi kwenkosi yakhe , otusekayo, ngokuba uJehova wayenikile i -Aramu ukunqoba ngaye; futhi wayeyiqhawe elinamandla, kepha wayenochoko.

Inhliziyo yenkosi yase -Aramu yayiphethwe yitwetwe ngale ndaba , yabiza izinceku zayo , yathi kuzo : Ningengitshele yini ukuthi ngobani abakithi abavuma inkosi yakwa-Israyeli na?

Abalindisango bamemeza, babikela indlu yenkosi ngaphakathi.

Base bethi omunye komunye : Asenzi kahle . Lolu suku lwanamuhla lungusuku l wentokozo; uma sithula nje silinda kuze kube sekuntweleni kokusa, siyakuficwa yicala; ngalokho masihambe, sitshele indlu yenkosi.

Wangena, wadla, waphuza; wayesethi: Mbhekeni lo mqalekiswakazi, nimmbele, ngokuba uyindodakazi yenkosi.

Inkosi uRehobowamu yenza izihlangu zethusi esikhundleni sazo , yazinikela ezandleni zezinduna zabalindi abagcina umnyango wendlu yenkosi.

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

Ngaleso sikhathi kwe za uHanani, umboni ka-Asa, inkosi yakwaJuda, wathi kuye: Ngokuba wencike enkosini yase -Aramu, ungencikanga kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho , ngalokho impi yenkosi yase -Aramu iphunyukile esandleni sakho.

Inkosi y akwa-Israyeli yathi : Mthatheni uMikhaya , nimbuyisele ku -Amoni umbusi womuzi nakuJowashi indodana yenkosi,

bakhuphukela ukulwa noJuda , bafohlela kuye , basusa yonke impahla eyayifumaniseka endlini yenkosi kanye namadodana akhe nawomkakhe ; akusalanga ndodana kuyo, uJehowahazi omncane emadodaneni ayo kuphela.

Kodwa uJehoshabeyati, indodakazi yenkosi, wamthatha uJowashi indodana ka-Ahaziya, wameba phakathi kw amadodana enkosi abulawayo , wambeka nomzanyana wakhe ekamelweni lokulala . UJehoshabeyati, indodakazi yenkosi uJehoramu, umkaJehoyada umpristi -- ngokuba wayengudadewabo ka-Ahaziya -- wamfihla ebusweni buka-Athaliya, ukuze angambulali.

Base beyikhipha indodana yenkosi, wayifaka umqhele, wayinika ubufakazi, bayibeka inkosi; uJehoyada namadodana akhe bayigcoba bathi : Mana njalo, nkosi.

Base bemdedela nxazombili , waya ekungeneni kwesango lamahhashi endlini yenkosi; bambulala khona.

Wazithatha izinduna zamakhulu, nabakhulu, nababusi babantu, nabo bonke abantu bezwe, wayehlisa inkosi endlini kaJehova , bafika ngesango lasenhla endlini yenkosi, bayibeka inkosi esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso.

Lonke ibandla lenza isivumelwano nenkosi endlini kaNkulunkulu ; uJehoyada wathi : Bhekani, indodana yenkosi iyakubusa njengokukhuluma kukaJehova ngamadodana kaDavide.

abesithathu babe sendlini yenkosi , abesithathu babe seSangweni Lesisekelo , bonke abantu babe semagcekeni endlu kaJehova.

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

U-Uziya, inkosi, wayesengonochoko kwaze kwafika usuku lokufa kwakhe , wahlala endlini eyahlukanisiweyo, lokhu engonochoko, ngokuba wanqunywa endlini kaJehova . UJothamu indodana yakhe wayephezu kwendlu yenkosi , ahlulela abantu bezwe.

Ngokuba u -Ahazi waphanga indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi neyezikhulu , wakunika inkosi yase-Asiriya, kepha akumsizanga.

UZikiri, iqhawe lakwa-Efrayimi, wabulala uMahaseya, indodana yenkosi, no- Azirikamu umbusi wendlu, no-Elkana owelama inkosi.

Inkosi yayala oHilikiya , no-Ahikamu indodana kaShafani , no-Abidoni indodana kaMika, noShafani umbhali, no-Asaya inceku yenkosi, yathi:

UJosiya wabanika abantu besizwe bonke ababekhona emihlambini amawundlu namazinyane ezimbuzi , onke abengaweminikelo yephasika , umumo uyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu nezinkunzi eziyizinkulungwane ezintathu; lokho kwakungokwempahla yenkosi.

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

USolomoni waqeda-ke indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi ; konke okwangena enhliziyweni kaSolomoni ukukwenza endlini kaJehova nasendli ni yakhe , wakuphumelelisa.

Abaphambukanga emiyalweni yenkosi kubapristi namaLevi ngalut ho, nangengcebo.

Ngemi-alimugi inkosi yenzela indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi izikhwelo , kanye namahabhu , nezingubhu zabahlabeleli; akuzange kubonwe phambili okunjengakho ezweni lakwaJuda.

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

Kepha thina sonke esibuka ngobuso obambuliwe inkazimulo yeNkosi njengasesibukweni siyaguqulwa , sibe njengalowo mfanekiso ngokuya enkazimulweni, njengalokhu kumi ngeNkosi enguMoya.

anibizela kukho ngevangeli lethu , nize nizuze inkazimulo yeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.

Kwathi kusihlwa uDavide wavuka embhedeni , wahamba ophahleni lwendlu yenkosi, wabona esesophahleni owesifazane egeza ; owesifazane wayemuhle kakhulu, ebukeka.

kuyakuthi uma kuvuka intukuthelo yenkosi , ithi kuwe : Nisondeleleni kangako emzini ukulwa na ? Beningazi yini ukuthi bebeyakucibishela besogangeni na?

UDavide wayesethi ku -Uriya: Yehla uye endlini yakho, ugeze izinyawo zakho. U-Uriya waphuma endlini yenkosi , kwamlandela isipho sokudla esivela enkosini.

Kepha u -Uriya walala ngasemnyango wendlu yenkosi kanye nazo zonke izinceku zenkosi yakhe, akehlelanga endlini yakhe.

ngakunika indlu yenkosi yakho , nabafazi benkosi yakho esifubeni sakho , ngakupha indlu yakwa -Israyeli neyakwaJuda ; uma lok ho bekukuncane , ngangiyakukwenezela lokhu nalokho.

Wathi kuye: Uzacelani kanjalo wena ndodana yenkosi imihla ngemi hla na? Ungengitshele na? Wathi u-Amnoni kuye: Ngithanda uTamari udadewabo ka- Abisalomu umfowethu.

UJowabe indo dana kaSeruya wayeseqonda ukuthi inhliziyo yenkosi iku - Abisalomu.

Abakho lapho nawe oSadoki no-Abiyathara abapristi na ? Kuyakuthi konke okuzwayo endlini yenkosi ukutshele oSadoki no-Abiyathara abapristi.

Inkosi yathi ku Siba: Uthini ngalezi zinto na ? Wathi uSiba: Izimbongolo zingezokukhwelwa ngabantu bendlu yenkosi , izinkwa nezithelo zingezokudliwa, newayini lingelokuphuzwa ngabayethileyo ehlane.

Yayisithi inkosi : Iphi indodana yenkosi yakho na ? USiba wathi enkosini : Bheka, ihlezi eJerusalema , ngokuba yathi : Namuhla indlu ka -Israyeli iyakubuyisela kimi umbuso kababa.

Wathi-ke umuntu kuJowabe : Noma bengiyakukhokhelwa izinhlamvu eziyinkulungwane zesiliva esandleni sami , nokho bengingayikuselulela isandla sami endodaneni yenkosi, ngokuba ezindlebeni zethu inkosi yakuyala wena no-Abishayi no-Ithayi ukuthi: Yilondeni insizwa u-Abisalomu.

UJowabe wathi kuye : Awuyikuba ngumbiki wendaba namuhla , kepha uyakubika ngolunye usuku ; namuhla awuyikubika lutho , ngokuba indodana yenkosi ifile.

Inkosi yathi : Isahlezi kahle insizwa u -Abisalomu na ? U-Ahimahasi wathi : Ngabona isixuku sabantu , lapho uJowab e inceku yenkosi ethuma inceku yakho, kepha angazanga ukuthi kuyini.

Kwawela isikebhe sokuwelisa abendl u yenkosi nokwenza okwakukuhle emehlweni ayo. UShimeyi indodana kaGera wawela phansi phambi kwenkosi isiyakuliwela iJordani.

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

Inkosi yayisimbiza uSiba inceku kaSawule , yathi kuye: Konke okukaSawule nokwendlu yakhe yonke ngikunike indodana yenkosi yakho.

Indodakazi yenkosi inhle kakhulu , ilapho phakathi; ingubo yayo yalukiwe ngegolide.

Ziyiswa ngokujabula nangokwethaba, zingena endlini yenkosi.

Nkulunkulu, nika inkosi izahlulelo zakh o nendodana yenkosi ukulunga kwakho.

Bhekani, babusisiwe abakhuthazelayo; nizwile ngokukhuthazela kukaJobe, nibonile impetho yeNkosi ukuthi iNkosi inesihe esikhulu nesihawu. Ukufunga

Bheka, Jehova, ubone ukuthi wenzile kanjalo kubani . Abesifazane bayakudla yini izithelo zabo , izingane eziphathiweyo kahle, na? Abaprofethi nabapristi bayakubulawa endlini engcwele yeNkosi, na?

Intukuthelo yenkosi injengezithunywa zokufa , kepha umuntu ohlakaniphileyo uyayidambisa.

Inhliziyo yenkosi isesandleni sikaJehova njengemifula yamanzi ; uyayiphendulela lapho ethanda khona.

isibankwa ungasibamba ngezandla zombili, kanti sisendlini yenkosi.

Kepha wayebathukuthelele abaseTire nabaseSidoni ; kodwa beza kuye nganhliziyonye; sebemvumisile uBlastu induna yendlu yenkosi , bacela ukuthula, ngokuba izwe lakubo lalifunzwa ngelenkosi.

Kepha ingelosi yeNkosi yamshaya khona lapho , ngokuba enganikanga uNkulunkulu udumo; wadliwa yizimpethu, wafa.

Bheka, yafika ingelosi yeNkosi , kwakhanya ukukhanya etilongweni , yamshaya uPetru ohlangothini , yamvusa ithi : Shesha usuk ume. Ayesewa amaketanga ezandleni zakhe.

Yena wayefundisiwe indlela yeNkosi ; evutha emoyeni wakhuluma , wafundisa ngesineke izindaba eziqo ndene noJesu , azi ukubhapathiza kukaJohane kuphela;

Engenakuvunyiswa, sathula sathi: Mayenziwe intando yeNkosi. UPawulu eseJerusalema

Kepha ingelosi yeNkosi yavula iminyango yetilongo ebusuku , yabakhipha, yathi:

Kepha ingelosi yeNkosi yakhuluma kuFiliphu , yathi: Suka uye ngaseningizimu endleleni ephuma eJerusalema ehlela eGaza; yona iyihlane.

Ngakho-ke ningabi yiziwula, kodwa qondani okuyintando yeNkosi.

Ohlonipha usuku uluhloniphela iNkosi ; nodlayo udlela iNkosi , ngokuba ubonga uNkulunkulu ; nongadliyo, akadli ngenxa yeNkosi , ubonga uNkulunkulu.

Ngiyanincenga, bazalwane, ngenxa yeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu nangenxa yothando lukaMoya ukuba nilwe kanye nami ekungikhulekeleni kuNkulunkulu,

ukuba izwi lika -Isaya umprofethi ligcwaliseke , alikhuluma lokuthi: Nkosi, ngubani owakholwa ngukushumayela kwethu na ? Ingalo yeNkosi yambulelwa bani na?

Wathi: Ngiyizwi lomemeza ehlane , ethi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi , njengalokho washo u-Isaya umprofethi.

UJesu wayesephinda eza eKhana laseGalile , lapho enza khona amanzi abe yiwayini. Kwakukhona induna ethile yenkosi endodana yayo yayigula eKapernawume.

Induna yenkosi yathi kuye: Nkosi, yehla engakafi umntanami.

Njalo-ke leyo nceku ebiyazi intando yenkosi yayo ingalungiselanga , ingenzanga ngokwentando yayo, iyakushaywa imivimbo eminingi;

Kwabonakala kuye ingelosi yeNkosi imi ngakwesokunene se -altare lempepho.

Ingelosi yeNkosi yema phambi kwabo , inkazimulo yeNkosi yabakhanyisa nxazonke; besaba ngokwesaba okukhulu.

njengokuba kulotshiwe encwadini yamazwi ka-Isaya umprofethi ukuthi: Izwi lomemezayo ehlane, lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi , nenze imikhondo yayo iqonde.

izwi lomemezayo ehlane, lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi, nenze imikhondo yayo iqonde,

Esazindla ngalokho, bheka, ingelosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuye nge phupho, ithi: Josefa, ndodana kaDavide , ungesabi ukumthatha uMariya umkakho , ngokuba lokho akukhulelweyo kungoMoya oNgcwele.

UJosefa esevukile ebuthongweni wenza njengalokho imyal ile ingelosi yeNkosi, wamthatha umkakhe;

Kepha obamukele lalinye waya wemba emhlabathini, wayifihla imali yenkosi yakhe.

Bheka, kwaba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu , ngokuba ingelosi yeNkosi yehla ezulwini, yeza yagingqa itshe, yahlala phezu kwalo.

Sezimukile, bheka, ingelosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuJosefa ngephupho , ithi: Vuka uthabathe umntwana nonina , ubalekele eGibithe, uhlale khona, ngize ngikutshele; ngokuba uHerode uzakumfuna umntwana ukuba ambhubhise.

Kepha uHerode esefile , bheka, ingelosi yeNkosi yabonakala ngephupho kuJosefa eGibithe, yathi:

Ngokuba nguye akhuluma ngaye umprofethi u-Isaya, ethi: Izwi lomemezayo ehlane, lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi, nenze imikhondo yayo iqonde.

ungabe usaqhubeka kodwa ukuprofetha eBethele , ngokuba liyindlu engcwele yenkosi nendlu yombuso.

Ngosuku lw esikhombisa, lapho inhliziyo yenkosi isithokoza ngewayini , yayala oMehumani , noBizitha, noHaribona, noBigitha, no-Abagitha, noZethari, noKarikasi, izinduna eziyisikhombisa ezazikhonza ebusweni buka - Ahashiveroshi inkosi

yebo, ngaleyo mihla lapho inkosi u -Ahashiveroshi ihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso wayo, esasiseShushani endlini yenkosi,

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

Naye uVashiti , inkosikazi, wenzela abesifazane idili endlini yenkosi u - Ahashiveroshi.

intombi yangena ngaleyo ndlela enkosini , nakho konke eyakushoyo yakunikwa ukuba iphume nakho endlini yabesifazane, iye endlini yenkosi.

Yangena khona kusihlwa ; ekuseni yabuyela endlini yesibili yabesifazane phansi kwesandla sikaShahashigazi , induna yenkosi , umgcini wezancinza , ingaphindi ingene enkosini , uma inkosi ingathokozanga ngayo , ibizwe ngegama.

Lapho sesifikile isikhathi sika -Esteri, indodakazi ka -Abihayili, uyisekazi kaMoridekayi omthathe ukuba abe yindodakazi yakhe sokuba angene enkosini, akafunanga lutho , kuphela lokho akushoyo uHegayi induna yenkosi, umgcini wabesifazane . U-Esteri wafumana umusa emehlweni abo bonke abambonayo.

inkosi imise ababonisi ezifundeni zonke zombuso wakho ukuba babuthele ndawonye zonke izintombi ezibukekayo eShushani endlini yenkosi endlini yabesifazane phansi kwesandla sikaHegayi induna yenkosi , umgcini wabesifazane, zinikwe izinto zazo zokuqhola.

Kwakukhona umuntu womJuda eShushani endlini yenkosi ogama lakhe lalinguMoridekayi kaJayire kaShimeyi kaKishi wakwaBenjamini,

Kwathi lapho izwi lenkosi nesimemezelo sayo sekuzwakele , nalapho izintombi eziningi zibuthene eShushani endlini yenkosi phansi kwesandla sikaHegayi, u-Esteri wangeniswa endl ini yenkosi phansi kwesandla sikaHegayi, umgcini wabesifazane.

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.

Kwase kubizwa abalobi benkosi nge nyanga yokuqala ngosuku lweshumi nantathu lwayo , kwalotshwa njengakho konke uHamani ayala angakho othulasizwe benkosi , nababusi ababephethe izifunda ngezifunda , nezikhulu zezizwe ngezizwe , izifunda ngezifunda njengokubhala kwazo , nezizwe ngezizwe njengolim i lwazo ; kwalotshwa egameni lenkosi u -Ahashiveroshi, kwanamathiselwa ngendandatho yenkosi.

Izigijimi za shesha zahamba ngezwi lenkosi . Umthetho washaywa eShushani endlini yenkosi; inkosi noHamani bahlala phansi , baphuza, kepha umuzi waseShushani wakhungatheka.

UHamani wathi enkosini u -Ahashiveroshi: Kukhona isizwe esithile esihlakazekile, sisakazekile phakathi kwabantu bezifunda zonke zombuso wakho; nemithetho yaso yahlukene neyezizwe zonke; futhi asigcini imithetho yenkosi; ngalokho akufanele ukuba inkosi isiyeke.

Wayesesho uMoridekayi ukuba babuyisele impendulo ku -Esteri ngokuthi : Ungacabangi enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi wena uyakusinda endlini yenkosi kunabaJuda bonke.

Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu u -Esteri wembatha ingubo yobukhosi , wema egcekeni elingaphakathi lendlu yenkosi malungana nendlu yenkosi ; inkosi yayihlezi esihlalweni sayo sobuk hosi endlini yobukhosi malungana nomnyango wendlu.

Yayisithi inkosi: Ngubani osegcekeni na? UHamani wayesandUkungena nje egcekeni elingaphandle lendlu yenkosi ukuba akhulume enkosini ngokuphanyekwa kukaMoridekayi emthini abemlungisele wona.

Base bemphanyeka -ke uHamani emthini ayewulungisele uMoridekayi . Yayisibohla intukuthelo yenkosi.

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.

Waloba egameni lenkosi u -Ahashiveroshi, wakunamathelisa ngendandatho yenkosi, wazithuma izincwadi ngesandla sezigijimi zamahhashi , zigibela amahhashi anejubane, amahhashi enkosi akhethekileyo,

Zase ziphuma izigijimi zigibele amahhashi anejubane , amahhashi enkosi , zisheshiswa ziqhutshwa yizwi lenkosi; umthetho washaywa eShushani endlini yenkosi.

Kepha lobani nani ngabaJuda njengokuhle emehlweni enu egameni lenkosi, nikunamathelise ngendandatho yenkosi, ngokuba umbhalo obhalwe egameni lenkosi wanamatheliswa ngendandatho yenkosi awunakubuyiswa muntu.

Ngalolo suku inani lababuleweyo eShushani endlini yenkosi lalethwa phambi kwenkosi.

Inkosi yayisithi ku -Esteri inkosikazi : AbaJuda babulele bac hitha abantu abangamakhulu ayisihlanu eShushani endlini yenkosi namadodana ayishumi kaHamani; pho, benzeni kwezinye izifunda zenkosi ? Isicelo sakho siyini ? Uyakusenzelwa. Yini oyifunayo na? Kuyakwenziwa.

Ngokuba uMoridekayi wayemkhulu endlini yenkosi , nodumo lwakhe lwahamba ezifundeni zonke , ngokuba lowo muntu uMoridekayi wayelokhu ekhula njalo.

EShushani endlini yenkosi abaJuda babulala , bachitha abantu abangamakhulu ayisihlanu.

Njengokuba manje sidla usawoti wendlu yenkosi , kungasifanele ukuba sibone ihlazo lenkosi, ngalokho sithumele sayazisa inkosi

Lapho impinda yencwadi yenkosi u -Aritahishashita isifundiwe phambi kwawoRehumi noShimshayi umbhali nabangane babo , bashesha baya eJerusalema kubaJuda, babathiya ngezikhwepha nangamandla.

Ngalokho uma kukuhle enkosini , makucingwe endlini yengcebo yenkosi elapho eBabele ukuba kunjalo yini ukuthi uKoresi inkosi wakhipha isimemezelo soku ba kwakhiwe le ndlu kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema ; inkosi mayithume kithi inhloso yayo ngalokho.

bagubha umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngokuthokoza, ngokuba uJehova wayebathokozisile, waguqulela inhliziyo yenkosi yase-Asiriya kubo ukuba kuqiniswe izandla zabo emsebenzini wendlu kaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

ayibe nezinhla ezintathu zamatshe amakhulu , nohla lwemithi emisha , izindleko zikhishwe endlini yenkosi;

Futhi ngikhipha isimemezelo ngeniyakukwenza kulawo malunga abaJuda ukuba kwakhiwe leyo ndlu kaNkulunkulu : labo bantu mabanikwe kakhulu izindleko empahleni yenkosi , intela yaphesheya koMfula , ukuba bangathiywa.

Okunye okudingekayo endlini kaNkulunkulu wakho , ofanele ukukunika , kukhiphe endlini yengcebo yenkosi.

Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wawobaba obeke enhliziyweni yenkosi ukuhlobisa indlu kaJehova eseJerusalema,

Banika imithetho yenkosi kothulasizwe benkosi nakubabusi phesheya koMfula; basekela abantu nendlu kaNkulunkulu.

Kuyakuthi lapho iNkosi isiqedile wonke umsebenzi wayo entabeni yaseSiyoni naseJerusalema, ijezise isithelo senhliziyo ezidlayo yenkosi yase - Asiriya nokuzikhukhumeza kwamehlo ayo aziphakamisayo.

Uyakukuthandela nokuku thandela njengokuthandelweyo , akulahle njengegabade ezweni elibanzi . Uyakufela khona , lapho kuyakuba khona nezinqola zodumo lwakho wena hlazo lendlu yenkosi yakho.

Nasemadodaneni akho ayakuphuma kuwe , oyakuwazala, bayakuwathatha abe yizinceku endlini yobukhosi yenkosi yaseBabele.

Inceku enje yenkosi yami ingakhuluma kanjani nenkosi yami enje na ? Ngokuba mina , khona lapho akusalanga mandla kimi , nokuphefumula bekungasekho kimi.

Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka bayakuhlangana , kufike indodakazi yenkosi yaseningizimu enkosini yasenyakatho ukwenza isivumelwano ; kepha ayiyikugcina amandla engalo, nayo inkosi ayiyikuma nengalo yayo , kodwa iyakunikelwa nabayilethayo, nowayizalayo, nowayisizayo ngalezo zikhathi.

Kepha ehlumeleni lezimpande zayo kuyakuvela omun ye esikhundleni sayo oyakuya empini , angene enqabeni yenkosi yasenyakatho , amelane nabo, ahlule.

abafana abangenasici , ababukeka kahle , abanengqondo ekuhlakanipheni konke, abanolwazi ekwazini , abanokuqonda ekwazini , abanamandla ukukhonza endlini yenkosi, abafundise izincwadi nolimi lwamaKaledi.

AmaKaledi aphendula phambi kwe nkosi, athi: Akukho muntu emhlabeni ongabonisa indaba yenkosi, ngokuba akukho nkosi, nanduna, nambusi owake wabuza indaba enjalo nakwesisodwa isanusi, nothwebulayo, naKaledi.

wathatha wathi ku -Ariyoki induna yenkosi : Siphumeleni enkosini lesi simemezelo esicindezelayo na? U-Ariyoki wayesemazisa uDaniyeli indaba.

Ngiyakubonga, ngikudumise wena Nkulunkulu wawobab a ongiphile ukuhlakanipha namandla , wangazisa esasikucela kuwe , ngokuba usazisile indaba yenkosi.

Ngasona leso sikhathi kwavela iminwe yesandla somuntu , yaloba maqondana nothi lwezibani kokunamekiweyo kodonga lwendlu yenkosi ; inkosi yabona inxenye yesandla esalobayo.

Ngabona embonweni ; kwase kuthi ekuboneni kwami ngangiseShushani endlini yenkosi esifundeni sase -Elamu; ngabona-ke embonweni , ngangisemfuleni i-Ulayi.

Kalokhu, Nkulunkulu wethu, yizwa umkhuleko wenceku yakho nokunxusa kwayo, ukhanyise ubuso bakho phezu k wendlu yakho engcwele, echithakele ngenxa yeNkosi.

ithi kimi : Phuza wena , futhi ngizakuwakhelela namakamela akho , kube yiyo engumfazi uJehova ammiseleyo indodana yenkosi yami.

Bheka, uRebeka usebusweni bakho; mthathe, uhambe, abe ngumkandodana yenkosi yakho, njengalokho wakhuluma uJehova.

UJehova wayenaye uJosefa , waba ngumuntu onenhlanhla ; wayesendlini yenkosi yakhe yaseGibithe.

Wayesebuza izinceku zikaFaro ezazinaye zilindwe endlini yenkosi yakhe , ethi: Ubuso benu budabukeleni namuhla na?

Bheka, imali esayifumana emilonyeni yamasaka ethu sayibuyisa ezweni laseKhanani, sayiletha kuwe; pho, besingeba kanjani endlini yenkosi yakho isiliva noma igolide na?

Kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi uJ ehova, impela endaweni yenkosi eyambeka inkosi, esifungo sayo wasidelela , nesivumelwano sayo wasaphula, uyakufa naye phakathi kweBabele.

Kodwa nithi: Indlela yeNkosi ayilingani. Yizwani nina ndlu yakwa-Israyeli: Indlela yami ayilingani na? Angithi yizindlela zenu ezingalingani na?

Kepha indlu yakwa -Israyeli ithi : Indlela yeNkosi ayilingani . Wena ndlu yakwa-Israyeli, izindlela za mi azilingani na ? Angithi yizindlela zenu ezingalingani na?

Wena ndodana yomuntu , zibekele izindlela ezimbili zokufika kwenkemba yenkosi yaseBabele , zombili ziphume ezweni linye , wenze isiqondiso sendlela, usibeke engosini yezindlela zomuzi.

Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehov a, ithi: Inkemba yenkosi yaseBabele iyakukwehlela.

Kodwa abantwana babantu bakho bathi: Indlela yeNkosi ayilingani. Kepha ngeyabo indlela engalingani.

Nokho nisho nithi : Indlela yeNkosi ayilingani . Ngiyakunahlulela nina ndlu yakwa-Israyeli, kube yilowo nalowo ngendlela yakhe. Ukuwa kweJerusalema

Yizwani lokhu nina bapristi, nilalele nina ndlu ka -Israyeli, nibeke indlebe nina ndlu yenkosi , ngokuba ukwahlulela kukinina , lokhu nanilugibe eM ispa nenetha elenekwe eThabori.

Yisho endlini yenkosi yakwaJuda, uthi: Zwanini izwi likaJehova lokuthi:

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Yehlela endlini yenkosi yakwaJuda , ukhulume khona leli zwi,

Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova ngendlu yenkosi yakwaJuda, uthi: UyiGileyadi kimi, nekhanda laseLebanoni ; impela ngiyakukwenza ube yihlane nemizi engahlalwa muntu.

Izikhulu zakwaJuda zazizwa lezo zinto , zakhuphuka endlini yenkosi , zaya endlini kaJehova, zahlala esikhaleni sesango elisha lendlu kaJehova.

Kepha uma bengabaprofethi, uma izwi likaNkulunkulu likubo, mabamnxuse uJehova Sebawoti, ukuba izitsha ezisele endlini kaJehova, nasendlini yenkosi yakwaJuda, naseJerusalema zingayi eBabele.

yebo, usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, ngezitsha ezisele endlini kaJehova, nasendlini yenkosi yakwaJuda , naseJerusalema, uthi:

Ngaleso sikhathi impi yenkosi yaseBabele yalivimbezela iJerusalema ; uJeremiya umprofethi wayevalelwe egcekeni letilongo elalisendlini yenkosi yakwaJuda,

USedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, nezikhulu zakhe, ngiyakubanikela esandleni sezitha zabo , nasesandleni sabafuna ukuphila kwabo , nasesandleni sempi yenkosi yaseBabele, asebenyukile kini.

lapho impi yenkosi yaseBabele ilwa neJerusalema nayo yonk e imizi yakwaJuda eseleyo , iLakishi ne -Azeka, ngokuba yiyo eyayisele phakathi kwemizi yakwaJuda iyimizi ebiyelweyo.

wehlela endlini yenkosi ekamelweni lombhali ; bheka, kwakuhlezi khona zonke izikhulu , u-Elishama umbhali , noDelaya indodana kaShemaya , no- Elinathani indodana ka-Akibori, noGemariya indodana kaShafani, noSedekiya indodana kaHananiya, zonke izikhulu.

Inkosi yayala uJerameli indodana yenkosi , noSeraya indodana ka-Aziriyeli, noShelemiya indodana ka -Abideyeli ukuba babambe uBaruki umbhali noJeremiya umprofethi, kepha uJehova wabafihla.

U-Ebedi Meleki wabathatha abantu , wahamba nabo, waya endlini yenkosi phansi kwendlu yengcebo , wakhipha khona amadlephudlephu amadala namanikiniki abolileyo, wawehlisela kuJeremiya emgodini ngezintambo.

Bheka, bonke abesifazane abasele endlini yenkosi yakwaJuda bayakukhishelwa izikhulu zenkosi yaseBabele ; bheka, bayakuthi: Abahlobo bakho abakhulu bakududile , bakwahlula; kepha lapho izinyawo zakh e zishone exhaphozini, babuyele emuva.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Lo muzi uyakunikelwa nokunikelwa esandleni sempi yenkosi yaseBabele, iwuthathe.

Zase zimthatha uJeremiya , zamphonsa emgodini kaMalikhiya indodana yenkosi owawusegcekeni letilongo , bamehlisa uJeremiya ngezintambo . Emgodini kwakungekho manzi, udaka lodwa; uJeremiya washona odakeni.

U-Ebedi Meleki umKushe , umthenwa, owayesendlini yenkosi , esezwile ukuthi bamfake uJeremiya emgodini , inkosi ihlezi esangweni lakwaBenjamini,

u-Ebedi Meleki waphuma endlini yenkosi, wakhuluma enkosini, wathi:

Kwathi lapho uSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda nawo onke amadoda empi bezibona, babaleka, bephuma emzini ebusuku ngendlela yensimu yenkosi ngesango phakathi kwezingange zombili; waphuma ngendlela yase-Araba.

AmaKaledi ashisa indlu yenkosi nezindlu zabantu ngomlilo , azidiliza izingange zaseJerusalema.

Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku , usho uJehova , inhliziyo yenkosi iphel e kanye nezinhliziyo zezikhulu; abapristi bayakumangala, abaprofethi bethuke.

Ngenyanga yesihlanu , ngolweshumi lwenyanga okwakungumnyaka weshumi nesishiyag alolunye wenkosi uNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele , kwafika uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi , inceku yenkosi yaseBabele , eJerusalema.

Washisa indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi ; nazo zonke izindlu zaseJerusalema, zonke izindlu ezinkulu, wazishisa ngomlilo.

Izinsika zethusi ezazisendlini yenkosi , nezinqe, nolwandle lwethusi okwakusendlini kaJehova amaKaledi akuhlephula , athuthela lonke ithusi lakho eBabele.

Kepha wawusufohlwa umuzi , onke amadoda empi abaleka , aphuma emzini ebusuku ngendlela yesango phakathi kwezingange zombili ezazingasensimini yenkosi -- amaKaledi ayekhona nxazonke zomuzi -- ahamba ngendlela yase - Araba.

Amazwi kaNehemiya indodana kaHakaliya . Kwathi ngenyanga kaKhisilevi, ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili ngisendlini yenkosi yaseShushani,

ISango Lomthombo lalungiswa nguShaluni, indodana kaKholi Hoze, umbusi wesifunda saseMispa; walakha, walifulela, wamisa izivalo zalo nezihluthulelo zalo nemigoqo yalo , nogange lwaseChibini laseShela ngasensimini yenkosi , kwaze kwaba sezikhwelweni ezehla emzini kaDavide.
