Bakhumbuze ukuba bathobele ababusi neziphathimandla , balalele, balungele imisebenzi yonke emihle,

Kwavela kwa -Efrayimi abampande yabo ikuma -Amaleki; emva kwakho nguBenjamini phakathi kwabantu bakho . KwaMakiri kwavela ababusi , kwaZebuloni abaphethe intonga yomholi.

Futhi yenza lokhu: Susa amakhosi onke, kube yileyo naleyo endaweni yayo, ubeke ababusi ezikhundleni zawo,

Emva kwalokho uSaneheribi inkosi yase -Asiriya wathuma izinceku za khe eJerusalema wayephambi kweLakishi nab o bonke ababusi benaye kuHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda nakuye wonke uJuda waseJerusalema, wathi:

Ababusi babengazi lapho ngangiye khona nengikwenzileyo ; futhi ngangingakabatsheli abaJuda , nabapristi, nabakhulu, nababusi, nabanye ababewenza umsebenzi.

Kusukela kulolo suku inxenye yezinceku zami yasebenza emisebenzini , nenxenye yazo yaphatha imikhonto , nezihlangu, neminsalo, namabhantshi ensimbi; ababusi babe semva kwendlu yonke yakwaJuda.

Kepha ababusi bokuqala ababe phambi kw ami babebathwesile abantu , bathatha kubo isinkwa n ewayini kanye namashekeli angamashumi amane esiliva; nezinceku zachachaza phezu kwabantu ; kepha mina angenzanga kanjalo ngenxa yokumesaba uNkulunkulu.

Abapristi abashongo ukuthi : U phi uJehova ? Abaphethe umthetho babengazi, ababusi baphamb uka kimi , abaprofethi baprofetha ngoBali , balandela okungenakusiza.

ngiyakulahla inzalo kaJakobe nekaDavide inceku yami, ukuze ngingathathi enzalweni yakhe ababusi benzalo ka -Abrahama, neka-Isaka, nekaJakobe, ngokuba ngiyakukubuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabo, ngibahawukele.

Kuyena kuyakuphuma itshe legumbi , kuyena isikhonkwane , kuyena umnsalo wempi, kuyena bonke ababusi kanyekanye.

Ababusi bakwaJuda bayakusho ezinhliziyweni zabo ukuthi : Abakhileyo eJerusalema bangamandla ami kuJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu wabo.

Ngalolo suku ngiyakwenza ababusi bakwaJuda babe ngumcengezi womlilo phakathi kwemithi nobhaqa lomlilo phakathi kwezithungu ; bayakuqeda bonke abantu n xazonke ngakwesokunene nangakwesokhohlo , iJerusalema libe lisahlala endaweni yalo eJerusalema.

Kepha uJesu wababiza , wathi: Niyazi ukuthi ababusi bezizwe bazenza amakhosi phezu kwazo, nezikhulu zazo ziphethe amandla phezu kwazo.

Wayesethi kubo : Ababusi bezizwe bazenza amakhosi phezu kwazo , neziphathimandla zazo zithiwa abazenzela okuhle.

Bheka, ukhuluma obala , kabasho lutho kuye . Kungaba ngukuthi ababusi sebazi isibili ukuthi lo unguKristu na?

Kalokhu, bazalwane, ngiyazi ukuthi nenza lokho ngokungazi njengabo ababusi benu.

Kwathi ngangomuso kwabuthana eJerusalema ababusi namalunga nababhali babo,

Ngokuba ababusi abesabeki kwabenza okuhle , kodwa kwabenza okubi . Kepha uyathanda yini ukungesabi amandla ombuso na ? Yenza okuhle , uyakubongwa yiwo;

ebaphucile ababusi nabanamandla izikhali waba thela ngehlazo obala , ebanqoba ngaso. Ukuxwayisa ngezifundiso zamanga
