Iindumiso zikaSolomon INTSHAYELELO Le ngqokelela yeengoma ezilishumi elinesibhozo zemfazwe sisipho sombhali wamandulo wamaSemite. Umbhalo-ngqangi wantlandlolo utshabalele kodwa ngethamsanqa iinguqulelo zesiGrike ziye zalondolozwa, yaye kutshanje inguqulelo yesiSyriac yeengoma ezifanayo iye yavela yaza yapapashwa ngesiNgesi okokuqala ngowe-1909 nguGqr. Rendel Harris. Umhla wokubhala unokusekwa phakathi kwiNkulungwane yokuQala ngaphambi kweXesha lethu Eliqhelekileyo kuba umxholo wezi ngoma ngulowo wezenzo zikaPompey ePalestina nokufa kwakhe eYiputa ngowama-48 BC. Ezi ndumiso zinendawo ebalulekileyo kwaye zazisasazwa ngokubanzi kwiCawa yokuqala. Kudla ngokubhekiselwa kuzo kwiiCodex ezahlukeneyo neembali zeenkulungwane ezimbalwa zokuqala zeXesha lobuKristu. Kamva, balahleka ngenxa yezizathu ezingaqondakaliyo; kwaye zifunyenwe kuphela ukuba zisetyenziswe emva kokuphela kweenkulungwane ezininzi. Ngaphandle kwexabiso loncwadi lwesingqi esifana nexilongo sezi ndinyana, apha sinesahluko sembali yamandulo echukumisayo eyabhalwa ngumntu owazibonela ngawakhe amehlo. UPompey uphuma eNtshona. Usebenzisa izixhobo zokutyhomfa kwiinqaba. Amajoni akhe adyobha isibingelelo. Ubulawa eYiputa emva komsebenzi owoyikayo. “Kumalungisa” ezi ndumiso sibona abaFarisi; “kwaboni” sibona abaSadusi. Liyi-epic yabantu abakhulu abakwingxaki enkulu. ISAHLUKO 1 Ndakhala kuYehova ndisembandezelweni; KuThixo xa aboni behlaselwa. Ngequbuliso kwavakala ukuhlaba umkhosi phambi kwam; Ndathi, Wondiphulaphula ngokuba ndizele bubulungisa. Ndandisithi entliziyweni yam, ndizele bubulungisa; Kaloku ndandimi kakuhle kwaye ndandisisityebi ngabantwana. Ubutyebi babo bunwenwele ehlabathini lonke; Nozuko lwabo ekupheleni kwehlabathi. Baphakanyiselwe ezinkwenkwezini; Bathi soze baphephethe.
Kodwa basuka bayeka ukuphumelela kwabo. Ke bona babengenakuqonda; Izono zabo bezisemfihlekweni; Kwaye nam ndandingenalwazi ngabo. Izikreqo zabo zagqitha ngaphezu kweentlanga ezingaphambi kwabo; Bazenza inqambi izinto ezingcwele zikaYehova. ISAHLUKO 2 Xa athe wakhukhumala umoni, wazidiliza iindonga ezinqatyisiweyo ngeentonga ezinqabileyo; akwamnqanda ke. Iintlanga zenyuka ezibingelelweni zakho, Balinyhashe ngokuqhayisa ngeembadada zabo; ngokuba oonyana baseYerusalem babezihlambele izinto ezingcwele zikaYehova; Eyihlambele iminikelo kaThixo ngobugwenxa; Wathi, Mabakhwelele kude kum; Yaba yinto engento phambi koThixo; Lahlaziswa ngokupheleleyo; Oonyana neentombi baye ekuthinjweni kwanzima; Yatywinwa intamo yabo, yafakwa uphawu phakathi kweentlanga. Waza wenza kubo ngokwezono zabo; Ngokuba wabanikela ezandleni zabanqobi. Ubususile ubuso bakhe ukuba angabacongi; Abancinci nabadala kunye nabantwana babo kunye; Ngokuba benze ububi, bonke ububi, àbaphulaphula. Lavutha ngumsindo izulu; Laba nenyala emhlabeni; Kuba akukho bani ukwenzileyo phezu kwalo oko bakwenzileyo; Kwaye umhlaba waziqonda zonke Izigwebo zobulungisa bakho, Thixo. Babenza intlekisa oonyana baseYerusalem, ngenxa yobuhenyukazi obuphakathi kwayo; Wonke umhambi wayengena ngokukhanya kwemini. Balungcikiva ukreqo lwabo, njengoko babefudula besenza ngokwesiko labo; Ekukhanyeni kwemini babutyhila ubugwenxa babo. Zazenza iinqambi iintombi zaseYerusalem ngokwesiko lakho; Ngenxa yokuba bezenze iinqambi ngokulalana okunxamnye nemvelo. Ndiyazibhijabhija izibilini zam nezibilini zam ngenxa yezo zinto. Noko ke ndiya kukugwebela, Thixo, ngentliziyo ethe tye;

Wabhinqa ezirhwexayo endaweni yeengubo eziqaqambileyo; Intambo yayiphezu kwentloko yakhe endaweni yesithsaba. Wasikhulula isithsaba sobuqaqawuli, abesibeke phezu kwakhe uThixo; Ubuhle bakhe baphoswa phantsi emhlabeni.

Yaye andizange ndilinde ngaphambi kokuba uThixo andibonise lowo usileyo Ababuleweyo ezintabeni zaseYiputa, Ithatyathwe njengeyona nto incinci, emhlabeni naselwandle; Umzimba wakhe, nawo, wathwalwa ngapha nangapha phezu kwezandyondyo zenzolo enkulu. kungekho bani unokumngcwaba, ngenxa yokuba emphose edanile. Wayengazibonakalisi ukuba ungumntu, Kwaye akazange acinge ngesiphelo samva; Wathi, Ndiya kuba yinkosi yomhlaba nolwandle; Wayengazi ukuba nguThixo omkhulu; Womelele ngamandla akhe amakhulu. Ungukumkani phezu kwezulu; ugweba ookumkani nezikumkani. Nguye lowo undimisayo ebuqaqawulini; Abanekratshi ubahlisele kwintshabalalo engunaphakade, behlazekile; Ngokuba babengamazi. Kaloku ke, yabonani, baphathi behlabathi, isigwebo sikaYehova. Ngokuba ngukumkani omkhulu, olilungisa, ogweba konke okuphantsi kwezulu.

Ngulo lizwi libukhali ekugwebeni aboni. Kwaye isandla sakhe siqala ngaye ngokungathi wenza ngenzondelelo, Sekunjalo yena ngokwakhe unetyala ngezono ezininzi nangoburheletyo. Amehlo akhe ajonge wonke umfazi ngaphandle kokwahluka; Ulwimi lwakhe luyaxoka xa esenza isivumelwano ngesifungo. Ebusuku nasemfihlakalweni wona ngokungathi akabonwa, Ngamehlo akhe uthetha nabo bonke abafazi abaneentlondi ezimbi. Ukhawuleza ukungena kwindlu nganye echwayitile ngokungathi akanatyala. UThixo makabasuse abo bahlala ngokuhanahanisa phakathi kwabangcwele, Kwanobomi bomntu onjalo obolileyo nokonakala kwenyama yakhe nobuhlwempu. UThixo makatyhile izenzo zabantu abakholisa abantu, Izenzo zomntu onjalo ngokuhleka nokugculela; Ukuze abangcwele bawubalele ubulungisa umgwebo woThixo wabo; Xa aboni beshenxiswa phambi kwamalungisa; Kwanomntu othetha ngomyalelo ngobuqhophololo. Amehlo abo athi nzo kwindlu yomntu wonke onqabisekileyo; Ukuze, njengeNyoka, babutshabalalise ubulumko . . . ngamazwi abakreqi; Amazwi akhe anenkohliso ukuze aphumeze umnqweno wakhe ongendawo. Akayeki ukubachithachitha iintsapho ngokungathi baziinkedama. Ewe, indlu yakhe uyayichitha ngenxa yokunqwenela kwakhe ukuchasa umthetho. Luyakhohlisa ngamazwi, lusithi, Akukho bani ubonayo, akukho ugwebayo. Uzalisa indlu enye ngobugqwetha; Kwaye ke amehlo akhe athe ntsho kwindlu elandelayo.

Mabunqanyulwe ubuthongo kwiinkophe zakhe ebusuku; Makasibeke ngokuhlazekileyo kuwo wonke umsebenzi wezandla zakhe. Makabuye elambatha endlwini yakhe; Nendlu yakhe ingabi nanto, abenokwanelisa ngayo ukudla kwakhe. Ubudala bakhe makabuchithelwe ebulolona, ade asuswe kukufa. Inyama yabanqwenelekayo mayiqwengwe ngamarhamncwa; Kwaye amathambo abachasene nomthetho makahlazeke phambi kwelanga.
Amahlungulu makancothule amehlo abahanahanisi; Kuba bachithe izindlu ezininzi zabantu, ilihlazo; Wabathi saa ekukhanukeni kwabo; Kwaye abamkhumbulanga uThixo; akamoyika uThixo kwezo zinto zonke; Bamqumbisile, bamqumbisa; Wabasusa emhlabeni; Kuba bawalukuhla ngenkohliso imiphefumlo yabangenasiphako.

Ngokuba ulungile wena, unenceba, igwiba labasweleyo; Xa ndikhala kuwe, musa ukundilahla. Ngokuba akukho mntu uphanga igorha; Ngubani na ke ongathabathayo kwinto oyenzileyo, ukuba ungazinikeli? Ngokuba umntu nesabelo sakhe baphambi kwakho esikalini; Akanako ukongeza koko, ukuze andise oko Kumiselweyo Nguwe. Owu Thixo, xa sibandezelekile sibiza kuwe sicela uncedo; ungasinqandi isicelo sethu, ngokuba unguThixo wethu. Musa ukuba nzima phezu kwethu isandla sakho; Hleze senze isono. Ukuba akusayi kusibuyisa, asiyi kupheza; Kodwa siya kuza kuwe. Ngokuba ndilambile, ndinqula wena, Thixo; Kwaye wena uya kundinika. Iintaka neentlanzi uya kuzondla; Ùnesa imvula emathafeni, ukuze kuhlume uhlaza; Ngoko ukulungiselela yonke into ephilileyo emathafeni; ukuba balambile, bophakamisela kuwe ubuso babo. Ookumkani, neerhuluneli, nezizwe, ubadlisa, Thixo; Ngubani na uncedo losizana nolihlwempu, ingenguwe, Yehova? Uya kuva wena, ngokuba ngubani na olungileyo, othantamisayo, ingenguwe?

Ngenxa yoko akubona emaphupheni akhe amabi, awuyi kukhwankqiswa umphefumlo wakhe; Xa ewela imilambo, iilwandle zivuthuza, akayi kunkwantya; Uvuka ebuthongweni, alibonge igama likaYehova. Ithe cwaka intliziyo yakhe, uhlabela igama loThixo wakhe; Wathandaza kuYehova ngenxa yendlu yakhe yonke. Kwaye uYehova uwuva umthandazo wabo bonke abamoyikayo uThixo; Ke zonke izicelo zomphefumlo othembele kuye ziyazenza iNkosi. Makabongwe uYehova, owenzela inceba abo bamthanda ngokungazenzisiyo. ISAHLUKO 7 Musa ukulenza likude kuthi ikhaya lakho, Thixo; Hleze basihlasele abo basithiyayo ngelize. Ngokuba ubalahlile, Thixo; Mazinganyatheli unyawo lwabo kwilifa lakho elingcwele.

Xa igama lakho lihleli phakathi kwethu, sofumana inceba; Kwaye iintlanga aziyi kusiyisa.

UThixo wazithwala izono zabo ngemini epheleleyo; Wonke umhlaba wawazi imigwebo kaThixo yobulungisa. Entsithelweni ubugwenxa babo benziwa ukuba bamqumbise; Benza isiphithiphithi, unyana nonina noyise ngentombi; Bakrexeza, elowo nomfazi wommelwane wakhe. Benza iminqophiso omnye nomnye ngesifungo esiphathelele ezi zinto; Bayiphanga ingcwele kaThixo, ngokungathi akukho mphindezeli.

Ngoko ke uThixo wabavelisela umoya wokubhadubhaduka; Wabanika ukuba basele indebe yewayini engahlambulukanga, ukuze banxile. Wamzisa lowo uvela eziphelweni zehlabathi, obetha ngamandla; Wamisela imfazwe nxamnye neYerusalem, kunye nelizwe layo. Iinkosana zelizwe zaya kumhlangabeza ngovuyo: zathi kuye: Mayibongwe indlela yakho! Yizani, ningene ngoxolo.

Wazithimba iinqaba zayo nodonga lwaseYerusalem; Kuba uThixo ngokwakhe wamkhokela ngoxolo, ngelixa behambahamba. Wabatshabalalisa abathetheli babo, nabo bonke abalumkileyo ngamacebo abo;
