AbaHluleli 2 Ingelosi ibonakala eGiligali

¹ Ingelosi kaJehova yenyuka isuka eGiligali, yaya eBogimi, yathi: “Nganikhuphula eGibithe, nganingenisa ezweni engalifungela oyihlo; ngathi: Angisoze ngaphula isivumelwano sami nani.

² Aniyikwenza isivumelwano nabakhileyo kuleli zwe; niyakuwadiliza ama-altare abo, kepha anililalelanga izwi lami. Kungani wenze lokho?

³ Ngalokho nami ngathi: Angiyikubaxosha phambi kwakho; kodwa bayakuba njengameva ezinhlangothini zenu, onkulunkulu babo bayakuba lugibe kini.

⁴ Kwathi ingelosi kaJehova ikhuluma lawo mazwi kubo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abantu badazuluka bakhala.

⁵ Baqamba leyo ndawo ngokuthi iBogimi, bahlabela uJehova khona.

⁶ Lapho uJoshuwa emukisa abantu, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baya, kwaba yilowo nalowo efeni lakhe ukuba badle ifa lezwe.

⁷ Abantu bamkhonza uJehova zonke izinsuku zikaJoshuwa nezinsuku zonke zamalunga ayesephila emva kukaJoshuwa ababona zonke izenzo ezinkulu zikaJehova azenzele u-Israyeli.

⁸ UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, inceku kaJehova, wafa eneminyaka eyikhulu neshumi.

⁹ Bammbela emkhawulweni wefa lakhe eThimnatha ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi ngasenyakatho kwentaba iGahashi.

¹⁰ Sonke leso sizukulwane sabuthelwa koyise, kwavela esinye isizukulwane emva kwaso uJehova ayengasazi nemisebenzi ayeyenzele u-Israyeli.

¹¹ Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, bakhonza oBali.

¹² Bamshiya uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise owabakhipha ezweni laseGibithe, balandela abanye onkulunkulu bezizwe ezazibazungeza, bakhothamela, bamcunula uJehova intukuthelo.

¹³ Bamshiya uJehova, bakhonza oBali no-Ashitaroti.

¹⁴ Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u-Israyeli, wabanikela esandleni sabaphangi ababaphanga, wathengisa ngabo esandleni sezitha zabo nxazonke, ukuze bangabe besakwazi ukuma phambi kwezitha zabo.

¹⁵ Nomaphi lapho bephumela khona, isandla sikaJehova sasimelene nabo ngokubi, njengokukhuluma kukaJehova nanjengoba uJehova wayebathembisile ngesifungo; bakhathazeka kakhulu.

¹⁶ Kodwa uJehova wavusa abahluleli ababasindisa esandleni salabo ababebaphanga.

¹⁷ Nokho kabalalelanga abahluleli bawo, kodwa baphinga ngokulandela abanye onkulunkulu, babakhothamela. Kodwa kabakwenzanga lokho.

¹⁸ Kwathi lapho uJehova ebavusela abahluleli, uJehova wayenaye umahluleli, wabasindisa esandleni sezitha zabo zonke izinsuku zomahluleli; ngokuba uJehova wazisola kubo, wakhala ngenxa yalabo ababebacindezela. Futhi wabacasula.

¹⁹ Kwathi lapho esefile umahluleli, babuya futhi bonakalisa bona ngaphezu kwawoyise ngokulandela abanye onkulunkulu ukuba babakhonze futhi babakhothamele; abazange bayeke izenzo zabo kanye nezindlela zabo ezilukhuni.

²⁰ Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u-Israyeli; wathi: “Ngokuba laba bantu beqile isivumelwano sami engabayala ngaso oyise, bengalalelanga izwi lami;

²¹ Futhi kusukela manje kuqhubeke ngeke ngixoshe muntu phambi kwabo ezizweni uJoshuwa azishiya lapho efa.

²² Ukuze ngivivinye u-Israyeli ngabo uma bayakuyigcina indlela kaJehova ukuhamba ngayo njengalokho oyise bayigcina, noma qha.

²³ Ngalokho uJehova wazishiya lezo zizwe, angazixoshanga ngokuphangisa; futhi akabanikelanga esandleni sikaJoshuwa.
