1 Samuweli 12
USamuweli utshela wonke u-Israyeli ukuthi usempunga futhi usekhulile
1USamuweli wasesithi kuIsrayeli wonke: Khangelani, ngilalele ilizwi lenu kukho konke elakutsho kimi, njalo ngilibekile inkosi phezu kwenu.
2Bhekani, inkosi iyaphuma phambi kwenu, mina-ke sengimdala, ngiyimpunga; bhekani, amadodana ami akini, mina ngihambile phambi kwenu kusukela ebuntwaneni bami kuze kube namuhla.
3Bhekani, ngilapha; fakazani ngami phambi kukaJehova naphambi kogcotshiweyo wakhe ukuthi ngithathe izinkomo zikabani na? noma ngithathe imbongolo kabani? kumbe ngikhohlise bani? ngicindezele bani? Ngemukele esandleni sikabani isifumbathiso ukuba ngiphuphuthekise amehlo ami ngaso na? futhi ngizokubuyisela kuwe.
4Bathi: “Awusikhohlisanga, awusicindezelanga, awuthathanga lutho esandleni samuntu;
5Wathi kubo: “UJehova ungufakazi ngani, nogcotshiweyo wakhe ungufakazi namuhla ukuthi anifumananga lutho esandleni sami. Base bephendula bathi: “Ungufakazi.”
6USamuweli wasesithi ebantwini: NguJehova owakhulisa oMozisi loAroni, owenyusa oyihlo elizweni leGibhithe.
7Sukumani khathesi, ukuze ngikhulume lani phambi kweNkosi ngazo zonke izenzo ezilungileyo zeNkosi eyazenza kini laboyihlo.
8Kwathi uJakobe engena eGibithe, oyihlo bakhuleka kuJehova, uJehova wathuma oMose no-Aroni, bakhipha oyihlo eGibithe, babahlalisa kule ndawo.
9Lapho sebekhohlwa uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, wathengisa ngabo esandleni sikaSisera induna yempi yaseHasori, nasesandleni samaFilisti, nasesandleni senkosi yakwaMowabi, balwa nabo.
10Base bebiza uJehova, bathi: “Sonile, ngokuba simshiyile uJehova, sakhonza oBali no-Ashitaroti; kepha manje usikhulule esandleni sezitha zethu, siyakukukhonza.
11UJehova wathuma oJerubali noBedani noJefta noSamuweli wanikhulula esandleni sezitha zenu nxazonke, nahlala ngokulondeka.
12Lapho nibona ukuthi uNahashi, inkosi yabantwana bakwa-Amoni, uyeza ukulwa nani, nathi kimi: ‘Qha; kepha inkosi iyakusibusa, lapho uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu eyinkosi yenu.
13Bhekani-ke, inkosi enayikhetha, ebeniyifisa; bhekani, uJehova ubeke inkosi phezu kwenu.
14Uma nimesaba uJehova, nimkhonze, nilalele izwi lakhe, ningahlubuki ezwini likaJehova, nina nenkosi enibusayo niyakulandela uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.
15Kepha uma ningalilaleli izwi likaJehova, nihlubuke emyalezweni kaJehova, isandla sikaJehova siyakumelana nani, njengalokho samelana nawoyihlo.
16Sukumani nibone lokhu okukhulu uJehova ayakwenza phambi kwamehlo enu.
17Akuvunwa ukolweni namuhla na? Ngiyakumbiza uJehova, anise ukuduma nemvula; ukuze nibone, nibone ukuthi ububi benu bukhulu enibenzile phambi kukaJehova ngokuzicelela inkosi.
18USamuweli wayesembiza uJehova; uJehova wathuma ukuduma nemvula ngalolo suku; bonke abantu besaba kakhulu uJehova noSamuweli.
19Bonke abantu bathi kuSamuweli: “Khulekela izinceku zakho kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ukuze singafi; ngoba senezele lobu bubi kuzo zonke izono zethu ukuba sizicelele inkosi.
20USamuweli wayesethi kubantu: “Ningesabi; nenze bonke lobu bubi;
21Njalo lingaphambuki; ngoba ziyize.
22Ngokuba uJehova akayikubalahla abantu bakhe ngenxa yegama lakhe elikhulu, ngokuba kwaba kuhle kuJehova ukunenza abantu bakhe.
23Kepha mina, kwangathi uNkulunkulu angangivimbela ukuba ngoni kuJehova ngokuyeka ukunithandazela; kodwa ngizonifundisa indlela enhle nelungile.
24Kuphela yesabani uJehova, nimkhonze ngeqiniso ngayo yonke inhliziyo yenu; ngoba bhekani izinto ezinkulu anenzele zona.
25Kodwa uma nisenza okubi, niyakuchithwa, nina nenkosi yenu.
