Indodana yesikhombisa kaJakobe noBiliha. Onomona. Weluleka ngokumelenenentukutheloethi"kunikeza umbono oyingqayizivele." Lena ithisisi ephawulekayoyentukuthelo.
1IkhophiyamazwikaDaniawakhuluma emadodaneni akhe ezinsukwini zakhe zokugcina, ngomnyaka wekhulu namashumi amabili nanhlanu wokuphila kwakhe.
2 Wabiza umndeni wakhe, wathi: “Yizwani amazwi ami, nina madodana kaDani;futhiunakeamazwikayihlo.
3 Ngiqinisile enhliziyweni yami, nasempilweniyamiyonke,leloqiniso ukwenza ngokulunga kuhle futhi kuyathandeka kuNkulunkulu, nokuthi amanga nentukuthelo kubi, ngoba kufundisaabantubonkeububi.
4 Ngakho-ke, ngiyavuma namuhla kini, bantwana bami, ukuthi enhliziyweni yami nginqume ngokufa kukaJosefa umfowethu,indodayeqinisonelungile..
5Futhingajabulangokuthiwathengiswa, ngoba uyise wayemthanda kakhulu kunathi.
6 Ngokuba umoya wesikhwele nokuzikhukhumeza wathi kimi: "Nawe uyindodanayakhe."
7 Omunye wemimoya yamaBeliyari wangivusa, wathi: "Thatha lenkemba, ubulale uJosefa ngayo; kanjalo uyihlo uyakukuthandaesefile."
8 Manje lona ngumoya wentukuthelo owangithonyaukubangichobozeuJosefa njengengweichobozaizinyanelembuzi.
9 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wawobaba akamvumelanga ukuba awele esandleni sami, ukuze ngimthole eyedwa futhi ngimbulale, futhi ngibangele ukuba isizwesesibilisibhujiswekwa-Israyeli.
10 Manje, bantwana bami, bhekani ngiyafa, futhi nginitshela ngeqiniso, ukuthi ngaphandle kokuthi nizivikele emoyeni wamanga nowolaka, futhi nithande iqiniso nokubekezela, niyobhubha.
11 Ngokuba intukuthelo iyimpumputhe, futhi ayivumeli umuntu ukuba abone ubuso banoma yimuphi umuntu ngeqiniso.
12 Ngokuba noma kunguyise noma kungunina, uziphatha njengezitha kubo; nakuba engumzalwane, akamazi; noma engumprofethi weNkosi, akamlaleli; noma elungile, akamnaki; nakuba engumngane,akamazi.
13 Ngokuba umoya wokuthukuthela uyamhaqa ngenetha lenkohliso, uphuphuthekise amehlo akhe, futhi ngokuqamba amanga ufiphaza ingqondo yakhe, futhi umnikeze umbono wawo ongajwayelekile.
14 Futhi uzungeza ngani amehlo akhe? Ngenzondo yenhliziyo, ukuze abe nomhawungomfowabo.
15Ngobaulakalubi,bantwabami,ngoba luhluphalomphefumulo.
16Futhiumzimbawomuntuothukuthele uyawenza owawo, futhi phezu komphefumulo wakhe uthola amandla, futhi ubeka phezu komzimba amandla ukuzeusebenzebonkeububi.
17 Njalo nxa umzimba ususenza zonke lezizinto, umphefumulo uyakulungisisa lokhookwenziwayo,ngobakakuqondile.
18 Ngakho-ke othukutheleyo, uma eyiqhawe,unamandlaaphindwekathathu entukuthelweni yakhe, enye ngosizo lwezincekuzakhe;nowesibilingengcebo yakhe aheha ngayo, anqobe ngokungemthetho; futhi okwesithathu, enamandla akhe emvelo, wenza okubi ngawo.
19 Noma umuntu othukuthele
ebuthakathaka, nokho unamandla aphindwe kabili alokho
okungokwemvelo;ngokubaulakaluhlala lubasizaabanjaloekungabinimthetho.
20 Lomoya uhamba njalo nokuqamba amanga ngakwesokunene sikaSathane, ukuze ngonya nangamanga imisebenzi yakheyenziwe.
21Yazini-keamandlaolakaukuthiayize.
22 Ngokuba kuqala kukho ukucunula ngezwi; khona-ke ngezenzo liyamqinisa lowoothukuthele,futhingokulahlekelwa okukhulu liphazamisa ingqondo yakhe, futhi kanjalo liwunyakazisa umphefumulo wakhe ngokufutheka okukhulu.
23 Ngakho-ke nxa umuntu. ekhuluma kabingani,ningathukutheli;umaumuntu enidumisa njengabangcwele, ningaziphakamisi;
24 Ngokuba kuqala kuyathokozisa ukuzwa, futhi kanjalo kwenza umqondo ulangazelele ukubona izizathu zokucasulwa; bese kuthi ngokuthukuthela, acabange ukuthi uthukuthelengokufanele.
25 Uma niwela kunoma yikuphi ukulahlekelwa noma incithakalo, bantwana bami, ningakhathazeki; ngoba wonalomoyawenzaumuntuafiselokho okonakalayo, ukuze athukuthelele ukuhlupheka.
26 Futhi uma nilahlekelwa ngokuzithandela noma ngokuthanda, ningakhathazeki; ngoba ekuhluphekeni kuvelaulakangamanga.
27Ngaphezukwalokho,ububiobukabili buyintukuthelo namanga; futhi ziyasizana ukuze ziphazamise inhliziyo; futhi lapho umphefumulo uphazamiseka njalo, iNkosi iyamuka kuwo, futhi uBeliyariuyabusaphezukwawo.
ISAHLUKO 2
Isiprofetho sezono, ukuthunjwa, izinhlupho, nokubuyiselwa kokugcina kwesizwe. Basakhuluma nge-Edeni (Bhekaivesi18).Ivesi23liyamangalisa ekukhanyenikwesiprofetho.
1 Ngakho, bantwana bami, gcinani imiyaloyeNkosi,nigcineumthethowayo; sukanientukuthelweni,nizondeamanga, ukuze uJehova ahlale phakathi kwenu, noBeliyariabalekekini.
2 Khulumani iqiniso, kube yilowo nalowo kumakhelwane wakhe. Kanjalo aniyikuwelaolakeninasesiphithiphithini; kodwa niyakuba nokuthula, ninoNkulunkulu wokuthula, impi ayiyikunehlula.
3 Thandani uJehova ukuphila kwenu konke, futhi omunye komunye ngenhliziyoeqotho.
4Ngiyaziukuthiezinsukwinizokugcina niyosuka eNkosini, futhi niyomthukuthelisa uLevi, nilwe noJuda; kodwaaniyikubanqoba,ngokubaingelosi yeNkosi izobahola bobabili; ngokuba uIsrayeliuyakumangazo.
5FuthinomaninilaphonisukaeNkosini, niyohamba kukho konke okubi futhi nenze izinengiso zabeZizwe, niphinga nabesifazane ababi, kuyilapho kubo bonkeububibesebenzaimimoyayobubi phakathikwenu.
6 Ngokuba ngifundile encwadini kaEnokeolungileyo,ukuthiisikhulusakho nguSathane, nokuthi yonke imimoya yobubi nokuziqhenya iyakuceba njalo ukuhambela amadodana kaLevi, ukuba onephambikukaJehova.
7AmadodanaamiayakusondelakuLevi, one naye kukho konke; futhi abantwana bakwaJudabayobaabahahayo,bephanga impahla yabanye abantu njengamabhubesi.
8Ngakhoniyoyiswaekuthunjwenikanye nabo, futhi lapho niyokwamukela zonke izinhlupho zaseGibhithe kanye nabo bonkeububibezizwe.
9 Njalo nxa libuyela eNkosini lizazuza umusa, njalo izalingenisa endlini yayo engcwele,njaloizalinikaukuthula.
10 Kuyakuvela kini insindiso evela esizweni sakwaJuda nesakwaLevi; futhi iyakulwanoBeliyari.
11Nenzeimpindiseloyaphakadeezitheni zethu; futhi uyothatha ukuthunjwa kwaBeliyariimiphefumuloyabangcwele, futhi iphendulele izinhliziyo ezingalaleli eNkosini, futhi abanike ababiza kuyo ukuthulaokuphakade.
12 Futhi abangcwele bayophumula eEdene, futhi eJerusalema eLisha abalungileyo bayojabula, futhi kuyoba yinkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ingunaphakade.
13 IJerusalema alisayikuba yincithakalo, no-Israyeli athunjwe; ngokuba uJehova uyakuba phakathi kwawo [ehlala phakathi kwabantu],futhi oNgcwele kaIsrayeli uyobusa phezu kwawo ngokuthobeka nangobumpofu; lalowo okholwa yiyo uzabusa phakathi kwabantungeqiniso.
14 Manje yesabani iNkosi, bantwana bami, futhi nixwaye uSathane kanye nemimoyayakhe.
15 Sondelani kuNkulunkulu nakuyo ingelosi enincengelayo, ngokuba ungumlamuleliphakathikukaNkulunkulu nabantu, futhi ngenxa yokuthula kukaIsrayeli uyosukuma amelane nombuso wesitha.
16 Ngakho-ke isitha sizimisele ukubhubhisabonkeabakhulekaeNkosini.
17 Ngokuba uyazi ukuthi ngosuku uIsrayeli eyophenduka ngalo, umbuso wesithauyofinyelelwaesiphethweni.
18 Ngokuba yona kanye ingelosi yokuthulaiyakumqinisau-Israyeli,ukuze angaweliemkhawulweniwobubi.
19 Kuyakuthi ngesikhathi sokungabi namthethokuka-IsrayeliiNkosiingasuki kubo,kephaiyakubaguqulababeyisizwe esenza intando yayo, ngokuba akukho neyodwayezingelosieyolingananaye.
20 Igama lakhe liyakuba ezindaweni zonke kwa-Israyeli naphakathi kwabezizwe.
21Ngakho-ke,zigcineni,bantwanabami, kuyo yonke imisebenzi emibi, nilahle ulaka nawo wonke amanga, nithande iqinisonokubekezela.
22 Futhi lezi zinto enizizwile kuyihlo, zinikeleni futhi kubantwana benu ukuze uMsindisi wabeZizwe enamukele; ngokubauqinisile,uyabekezela,umnene, uthobekile, futhi ufundisa umthetho kaNkulunkulungemisebenziyakhe.
23 Ngakho-ke sukani kukho konke ukungalungi, nibambelele ekulungeni kukaNkulunkulu,khona-keisizwesakho siyakusindiswakuzekubephakade.
24Futhiningimbeleeduzekobaba.
25 Eseshilo lokho wabanga, walala esemdala.
26 Amadodana akhe amngcwaba, emva kwalokho athwala amathambo akhe, awabekaeduzekuka-Abrahama,no-Isaka, noJakobe.
27 Nokho, uDani waphrofetha kubo ukuthi babeyokhohlwa uNkulunkulu wabo, futhi babeyohlukaniswa nezwe eliyifalabokanyenesizwesakwa-Israyeli, kanyenomndeniwenzaloyabo.
