Kwathi ngomnyaka wamakhulu a mane namashumi ayisishiyagalombili emva kokuphuma kwabantwana bakwa -Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe , ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kukaSolomoni phezu kwabakwa-Israyeli, ngenyanga kaZivi eyinyanga yesibili, waqala ukwakha indlu kaJehova.

Phezu kwesigaba senyanga yesibili kwakunguDodayi umAhohi nesigaba sakhe; kwakukhona nombusi uMikiloti ; esigabeni sakhe kwakukhona izinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nane.

Wayeseloba incwadi yesibili kubo , ethi: Uma ninami , nilalela izwi lami , thathani amakhanda alaba bantu , amadodana enkosi yenu , nize kimi eJizreyeli ngalesi sikhathi kusasa . Amadodana en kosi engabantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa ayekwabakhulu bomuzi ababewondla.

Base behamba uHilikiya umpristi , no-Ahikamu, no-Akibori, noShafani, no- Asaya, baya kuHulida umprofethikazi , umkaShalumi, indodana kaThikiva kaHarihasi, umgcinizingubo -- wahlala eJ erusalema enxenyeni yesibili -- bakhuluma kuye.

Ukuphakama kwensika eyodwa kwakuyizingalo eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili; phezu kwayo kwakukhona isihloko sethusi ; ukuphakama kwesihloko esisodwa kwakuyizingalo ezi ntathu; kwakukhona nenetha namapomegranati phezu kwesihloko nxazonke , konke kwakun gokwethusi; kwakunjalo nasensikeni yesibili enetheni.

Kwabuthana eJerusalema abantu abaningi ukuba bagubhe umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo ngenyanga yesibili, ibandla elikhulu kakhulu.

Base belihlaba iphasika ngolweshumi nane lwenyanga yesibili ; abapristi namaLevi babe namahloni , bazingcwelisa, baletha iminikelo yokushiswa endlini kaJehova.

Ngokuba inkosi yayelulekene nezikhulu zayo nebandla lonke laseJerusalema ukuba bagcine iphasika ngenyanga yesibili.

Wayesehamba uHilikiya nabanye benkosi , baya kuHulida umprofethikazi , umkaShalumi indodana kaThokathi kaHasira , umgcinizingubo -- wahlala eJerusalema enxenyeni yesibili -- bakhuluma kuye ngokunjalo.

Izinceku zayo zayikhipha enqoleni , zayikhwelisa enqoleni yesibili eyayinayo, zayiyisa eJerusalema ; yafa, yembelwa emathuneni awoyise . Wonke uJuda neJerusalema bamlilela uJosiya.

Waqala ukwakha ngolwesibili lwenyanga yesibili ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kwakhe.

umakhele uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho i -altare esiqongweni sal e nqaba ngokuhlelekileyo, uyithathe inkunzi yesibili, unikele ngomnikelo wokushiswa ngezinkuni zika-Ashera ozakumgawula.

Lapho abantu bomuzi bevuka ekuseni kakhulu , bheka, i-altare likaBali lase libhidliziwe, no-Ashera owayengakulo wayegawuliwe , nenkunzi yesibili yayinikelwe phezu kwe-altare elalakhiwe.

Ingelosi yesibili yayisibetha ; kwangathi intaba enkulu ivutha umlilo , yaphonswa elwandle; okwesithathu kolwandle kwaba yigazi,

Ngokuba uma leso sivumelwano sokuqala besingasoleki, bekungayikufunwa indawo yesibili.

Basuka e -Elimi; ibandla lonke labantwana bakwa -Israyeli lafika ehlane laseSini eliphakathi kwe -Elimi neSinayi ngosuku lweshumi nanhlanu lwenyanga yesibili emva kokuphuma ezweni laseGibithe.

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

U-Esteri inkosikazi , indodakazi ka -Abihayili, noMoridekayi umJuda base beloba ngamandla onke ukuba baqinise le ncwadi yesibili yePhurimi.

Ngomnyaka wesibili wokufika kwabo endli ni kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema ngenyanga yesibili uZerubabele , indodana kaSheyalitiyeli , noJeshuwa indodana kaJosadaki, nensali yabafowabo abapristi , namaLevi, nabo bonke abafike eJerusalema bevela ekuthunjweni baqala ukumisa amaLevi, kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabili kuya phezulu ukuba babonise umsebenzi wendlu kaJehova.

Uma indoda yesibili imala , imlobele incwadi yesahlukaniso , imnike yona esandleni sakhe, imkhiphe endlini yayo, noma le ndoda yesibili eyayimthathe abe ngumkayo ifa,

UZilipa incekukazi kaLeya wamzalela indodana yesibili.

UBiliha incekukazi kaRaheli wabuye wakhulelwa , wamzalela uJakobe indodana yesibili.

Wamkhwelisa enqoleni yesibili emva kwakhe; bamemeza phambi kwakhe , bathi: Guqani! Wambeka phezu kwezwe lonke laseGibithe.

ngomnyaka wamakhulu ayisithupha wokuhamba kuka Nowa ngenyanga yesibili ngosuku lweshumi nesikhombisa lwenyanga , ngalona lolo suku imithombo yonke yotwa yabhoboka, namafasitele asezulwini avuleka.

Ngenyanga yesibili ngosuku lwamashumi amabili nesikhombisa lwenyanga umhlaba wawusomile.

Kwakukhona isihloko sethusi ; ukuphakama kwesihloko esiso dwa kwakuyizingalo eziyisihlanu; kwakukhona nenetha namapomegranati phezu kwesihloko nxazonke , konke kwakungokwethusi ; njengangale kwakunjalo nasensikeni yesibili enamapomegranati.

Inkatho yesibili yadla uSimeyoni , isizwe sabantwana bakwaSimeyoni ngemindeni yabo; ifa labo laliphakathi kwefa labantwana bakwaJuda.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wesibili ngeny anga yesibili ngolwamashumi amabili lwenyanga ifu lenyuswa etabernakele lobufakazi.

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose ehlane laseSinayi etendeni lokuhlangana ngolokuqala lwenyanga yesibili ngomnyaka wesibili emva kokuphuma kwabo eGibithe, wathi:

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

ngenyanga yesibili ngosuku lweshumi nane ngakusihlwa bayakulenza ; bayakulidla nesinkwa esingenamvubelo nemifino ebabayo;

Ngase ngiyinqamula intonga yami yesibili , uZibopho, ukuba ngaphule ubuzalwane phakathi kukaJuda no-Israyeli.

Enqoleni yokuqala kwakukhona amahhashi abomvu , nasenqoleni yesibili amahhashi amnyama,

Ngalolo suku , usho uJehova , kuyakuba khona izwi lokukhala , livela eSangweni Lezinhlanzi, nokuhhewula, kuvela eNxenyeni Yesibili , nokufahlazeka okukhulu, kuvela emagqumeni.
