8 Ngakho inceku yathi kuBhowazi: Zithengele yona. Ngakho ukhumula isicathulo sakhe.

Mathewu 24 : 1 – 51
1 UJesu waphuma wamuka ethempelini; abafundi bakhe beza kuye ukumbonisa izakhiwo zethempeli.
2 UJesu wathi kubo: “Aniziboni zonke lezi zinto na? ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Akuyikushiywa lapha itshe phezu kwetshe elingayikudilizelwa phansi.
3 Esahlezi eNtabeni Yeminqumo, abafundi beza kuye bebodwa, bathi: “Sitshele, kuyakuba nini lokho na? futhi siyakuba yini isibonakaliso sokufika kwakho nesokuphela kwezwe na?
4 UJesu waphendula wathi kubo: Qaphelani ningadukiswa muntu.
5 Ngokuba abaningi bayakuza egameni lami, bathi: Mina nginguKristu; njalo bazadukisa abanengi.
6 Niyakuzwa ngezimpi namahemuhemu ezimpi, bhekani ningethuki;
7 Ngokuba isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso, kube khona indlala, nokuzamazama komhlaba izindawo ngezindawo.
8 Konke lokhu kungukuqala kwemihelo.
9 Khona bayakunikhaphela osizini, banibulale; niyakuzondwa yizizwe zonke ngenxa yegama lami.
10 Khona abaningi bayakukhubeka, bakhaphelane, bazondane.
11 Kuyakuvela abaprofethi bamanga abaningi, badukise abaningi.
12 Nangenxa yokwanda kobubi, uthando lwabaningi luyophola.
13 Kepha okhuthazelayo kuze kube sekupheleni nguyena oyakusindiswa.
14 Lelivangeli lombuso liyakutshunyayelwa emhlabeni wonke kube ngubufakazi ezizweni zonke; khona-ke ukuphela kuyofika.
15 Ngakho nxa libona amanyala encithakalo, akhulunywa nguDaniyeli umprofethi, emi endaweni engcwele, (ofundayo kaqedisise;)
16 Khona abaseJudiya mababalekele ezintabeni;
17 Ophezu kwendlu kangehli ukukhupha ulutho endlini yakhe;
18 Nosensimini makangabuyeli emuva ukuyothatha izingubo zakhe.
19 Maye kwabakhulelweyo nakwabancelisayo ngalezo zinsuku!
20 Kodwa khulekani ukuthi ukubaleka kwenu kungabi sebusika, loba ngesabatha;
21 Ngokuba ngaleso sikhathi kuyakuba-khona usizi olukhulu, olungazange lube-khona kwasekuqaleni kwezwe kuze kube manje, nolungasayikuba khona.
22 Uma lezo zinsuku zingafinyezwanga, bekungayikusindiswa nyama, kepha ngenxa yabakhethiweyo lezo zinsuku ziyakufinyezwa.
23 Khona uma umuntu ethi kini: Bhekani, nangu uKristu, noma: Nanguya; ningakholwa.
24 Ngokuba kuyakuvela oKristu bamanga, nabaprofethi bamanga, baveze izibonakaliso ezinkulu nezimangaliso; ukuze, uma kungenzeka, badukise nabakhethiweyo.
25 Bhekani, nginitshelile ngaphambili.
26 Ngakho-ke uma bethi kini: Bhekani, usehlane; ningaphumi; bheka, usendlini ecashile; ningakholwa.
27 Ngokuba njengonyazi luphuma empumalanga, lukhanye kuze kube sentshonalanga; kuyakuba njalo nokufika kweNdodana yomuntu.
28 Ngokuba lapho kukhona isidumbu, kulapho amanqe eyakubuthana khona.
29 Njalo masinyane emva kosizi lwalezonsuku ilanga lizafiphazwa, lenyanga kayiyikukhanya, lezinkanyezi zizakuwa ezulwini, lamandla amazulu azazanyazanyiswa.
30 Khona kuyakubonakala ezulwini isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu, khona-ke izizwe zonke zomhlaba ziyakuzila, futhi zibone iNdodana yomuntu iza ngamafu ezulu inamandla nenkazimulo enkulu.
31 Iyakuthuma izingelosi zayo ngokukhala okukhulu kwecilongo, ziqoqe abakhethiweyo bayo emimoyeni yomine, kusukela emkhawulweni omunye wezulu kuze kube komunye.
32 Fundani umfanekiso emkhiwaneni; nxa igatsha lawo selithambile, lihluma amaqabunga, niyazi ukuthi ihlobo seliseduze;
33 Kanjalo nani, nxa nibona zonke lezi zinto, yazini ukuthi iseduze ngasemnyango.
34 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lesi sizukulwane asiyikudlula, kungakenzeki konke lokhu.
35 Kuyakudlula izulu nomhlaba, kepha amazwi ami awasoze adlula.
36 Kepha lolo suku nalelo hora akakho owazi lutho ngalo, nazingelosi zezulu, naBaba kuphela.
37 Kepha njengokuba zazinjalo izinsuku zikaNowa, kuyakuba njalo nokufika kweNdodana yomuntu.
38 Ngokuba njengasezinsukwini zangaphambi kukazamcolo babedla, bephuza, beshada, bendiswa, kwaze kwafika usuku uNowa angena ngalo emkhunjini,
39 futhi kabanakanga kwaze kwafika uzamcolo, wabakhukhula bonke; kuyakuba njalo nokufika kweNdodana yomuntu.
40 Khona ababili bayakuba sensimini; omunye athathwe, omunye ashiywe.
41 Abesifazane ababili bayakube besila etsheni; omunye athathwe, omunye ashiywe.
42 Ngakho lindani, ngokuba anazi ukuthi iNkosi yenu iyakufika ngasiphi isikhathi.
43 Kodwa yazini lokhu, ukuthi uba umninindlu ebesazi ukuthi isela lizafika ngawuphi umlindo, ubezalinda, njalo ubengayikuvuma ukuthi indlu yakhe igqekezwe.
44 Ngakho-ke nani hlalani nilungile, ngokuba iNdodana yomuntu iza ngehora eningalicabangi.
45 Pho, ngubani oyinceku ethembekileyo nehlakaniphileyo, inkosi yayo eyimisile phezu kwabendlu yayo ukuba ibanike ukudla ngesikhathi esifaneleyo na?
46 Ibusisiwe leyo nceku okuyakuthi inkosi yayo nxa ifika iyifumane yenze njalo.
47 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Iyakuyibeka phezu kwakho konke enakho.
48 Kodwa uba leyonceku embi ithi enhliziyweni yayo: Inkosi yami ilibele ukufika;
49 uyakuqala ukushaya izinceku kanye naye, nokudla nokuphuza nezidakwa;
50 Inkosi yaleyonceku izafika ngosuku engayibheki ngayo, langehola engasiloyo.
51 Iyinqamule kabili, iyimisele isabelo sayo kanye nabazenzisi; kuyakuba khona lapho ukukhala nokugedla amazinyo.

13 Kepha angithandi, bazalwane, ukuba ningabi nakwazi ngabalalayo, ukuze ningadabuki njengabanye abangenathemba.
14 Ngokuba uma sikholwa ukuthi uJesu wafa wabuye wavuka, ngokunjalo-ke nalabo abalele kuJesu uNkulunkulu uyobaletha kanye naye.
15 Ngokuba lokhu sikusho kini ngezwi leNkosi ukuthi thina esisekhona esisasele ekufikeni kweNkosi asiyikubandulela abaleleyo.
16 Ngokuba iNkosi uqobo iyakwehla ezulwini ngokumemeza, ngezwi lengelosi enkulu, nangecilongo likaNkulunkulu, nabafileyo kuKristu bayakuvuka kuqala;
17 Khona thina esisekhona sisasele siyakuhlwithwa kanye nabo emafwini, sihlangabeze iNkosi emoyeni; kanjalo siyakuba neNkosi njalo.
18 Ngakho duduzanani ngalawamazwi.

31 Nxa iNdodana yomuntu iza ngenkazimulo yayo nezingelosi zonke ezingcwele kanye nayo, khona izakuhlala esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi.
32 Kuyakubuthelwa phambi kwayo izizwe zonke, ibahlukanise abanye kwabanye, njengomalusi ehlukanisa izimvu nezimbuzi;
33 Iyakumisa izimvu ngakwesokunene sayo, kodwa izimbuzi ngakwesokhohlo.
34 Khona iNkosi izakuthi kwabangakwesokunene sayo: Wozani lina elibusiswe nguBaba, lidle ilifa lombuso eliwulungiselweyo selokhu kwasekelwa umhlaba.
35 Ngokuba ngangilambile, nanginika ukudla; ngangomile, nangiphuzisa;

37 Khona bayakuyiphendula abalungileyo, bathi: ‘Nkosi, sakubona nini ulambile, sakupha ukudla na? noma womile, sakuphuzisa na?
38 Sakubona nini ungumfokazi, sakungenisa endlini, na? noma uhamba ze, sakwembathisa na?
39 Sakubona nini ugula, noma usetilongweni, seza kuwe na?
40 Inkosi iyakuphendula, ithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Njengoba nikwenzile komunye walaba bafowethu abancane, nikwenzile nakimi.
41 Khona iyakuthi nakwabangakwesokhohlo: Sukani kimi nina baqalekisiweyo, niye emlilweni ophakade olungiselwe uSathane nezingelosi zakhe;
42 Ngokuba ngangilambile, kepha aninginikanga ukudla;
43 ngangingumfokazi, aningingenisanga; nginqunu, aningigqokisanga; ngigula, ngisetilongweni, aningihambelanga.
44 Khona bayakumphendula nabo, bathi: ‘Nkosi, sakubona nini ulambile, noma womile, noma ungowezizwe, noma uhamba-ze, noma ugula, noma usetilongweni, singakukhonzanga?
45 Khona izabaphendula, ithi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Njengoba lingakwenzanga komunye walaba abancinyane, kalikwenzanga kimi.
46 Laba bayakumuka ekujezisweni okuphakade, kepha abalungileyo baye ekuphileni okuphakade.

Esteri 8 : 1 – 17
1 Ngalolo suku inkosi u-Ahashiveroshi yanika u-Esteri indlovukazi indlu kaHamani isitha sabaJuda. UMoridekayi weza phambi kwenkosi; ngoba u-Esteri wakhuluma lokho ayeyikho kuye.
2 Inkosi yakhumula indandatho yayo ebiyithathile kuHamani, yayinika uMoridekayi. U-Esteri wabeka uMoridekayi phezu kwendlu kaHamani.
3 U-Esteri wabuye wakhuluma phambi kwenkosi, wawa ngasezinyaweni zayo, wayincenga ngezinyembezi ukuba isuse ububi bukaHamani umAgagi, necebo lakhe ayelicebe ngamaJuda.
4 Inkosi yelulela u-Esteri intonga yegolide. U-Esteri wayesesukuma wema phambi kwenkosi.
5 Wathi: “Uma kukuhle enkosini, noma ngifumene umusa emehlweni ayo, nendaba ibonakala ilungile phambi kwenkosi, ngithandeka emehlweni ayo, makulotshwe ngezincwadi uHamani, indodana uHamedatha umAgagi owalobela ukubhubhisa abaJuda abakuzo zonke izifunda zenkosi.
6 Ngokuba ngingakubekezelela kanjani ukubona ububi obuzokwehlela abantu bami na? noma ngingabekezelela kanjani ukubona ukubhujiswa komndeni wami?
7 Inkosi u-Ahashiveroshi yathi ku-Esteri indlovukazi nakuMoridekayi umJuda: “Bhekani, ngimnike u-Esteri indlu kaHamani, bamphanyeka esigxotsheni, ngokuba welulela isandla sakhe kumaJuda.
8 Futhi lobelani abaJuda egameni lenkosi njengokufisa kwenu, nilinamathelise ngendandatho yenkosi; ngoba umbhalo olotshiweyo ebizweni lenkosi, waphawulwa ngendandatho yenkosi, kawuphenduki muntu.
9 Ababhali benkosi basebebizwa ngaleso sikhathi ngenyanga yesithathu eyinyanga kaSivani ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lantathu lwayo; kulotshiwe njengakho konke uMoridekayi ayala ngakho amaJuda, nezinduna, nezinduna, nababusi bezifunda, kusukela eNdiya kuze kube seKushe, izifunda eziyikhulu namashumi amabili nesikhombisa esifundazweni ngasinye njengokuloba kwaso, bonke abantu ngolimi lwabo, nakumaJuda ngokokuloba kwabo nangokwezilimi zabo.
10 Yabhala egameni lenkosi u-Ahashiveroshi, yanameka ngendandatho yenkosi, yathumela izincwadi ngeposi nabakhwele amahhashi, nabakhwele iminyuzi, namakamela, namakamela.
11 Lapho inkosi yanika abaJuda ababekuyo yonke imizi ukuba babuthane, bamele ukuphila kwabo, ukuba bachithe, babulale, bachithe onke amandla abantu nezifunda ezaziyakubahlasela, abancane nabesifazane, ukuthatha impango yabo ibe yimpango,
12 ngalusuku lunye kuzo zonke izifunda zenkosi u-Ahashiveroshi, okungukuthi, ngosuku lweshumi nantathu lwenyanga yeshumi nambili, eyinyanga ka-Adari.
13 Ikhophi yombhalo womyalo okufanele ikhishwe kuzo zonke izifundazwe yaziswa kubantu bonke, nokuthi amaJuda kwakumelwe alungele ngalolo suku ukuziphindiselela ezitheni zawo.
14 Khona-ke amadodana ayegibele iminyuzi namakamela aphuma ngokushesha, ayala ngesiyalezo senkosi. Futhi umyalo wanikezwa esigodlweni uSusan.
15 UMoridegayi wasuka enkosini egqoke izingubo zobukhosi eziluhlaza nokumhlophe, enomqhele omkhulu wegolide, nangengubo yelineni elicolekileyo nokububende; umuzi waseShushani wathokoza, wajabula.
16 AmaJuda athola ukukhanya, intokozo lenjabulo lodumo.
17 Ezifundeni zonke nasemizini yonke, lapho kwafika khona izwi lenkosi nomyalo wayo, abaJuda baba nokujabula nokujabula, nomkhosi nosuku oluhle. Abaningi kubantu bezwe baba amaJuda; ngoba ukwesaba abaJuda kwabehlela.

Esteri 4 : 14
14 Ngokuba uma nithula impela ngalesi sikhathi, kuyakuvela ukwandiswa nokusindiswa kwabaJuda kwenye indawo; kepha wena nendlu kayihlo niyakuchithwa; Ngubani owaziyo ukuthi ungene embusweni isikhathi esinjengalesi na?

Esteri 5 : 1 – 14
1 Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu u-Esteri wembatha ingubo yakhe yobukhosi, wema egcekeni elingaphakathi lendlu yenkosi malungana nendlu yenkosi; inkosi yahlala esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi endlini yenkosi malungana nesango lendlu.
2 Lapho inkosi ibona u-Esteri indlovukazi emi egcekeni, wazuza umusa emehlweni ayo; inkosi yelulela u-Esteri intonga yegolide eyayisesandleni sayo. Khona-ke u-Esteri wasondela wathinta isihloko sentonga yobukhosi.
3 Inkosi yasisithi kuye: Ufunani, ndlovukazi Esta? futhi siyini isicelo sakho? uyakunikwa kuze kube yingxenye yombuso.
4 U-Esteri wathi: “Uma kukuhle emehlweni enkosi, makeze inkosi noHamani namuhla esidlweni engiyilungisele yona.”
5 Inkosi yasisithi: UHamani kaphangise, ukuze enze njengokutsho kukaEsta. Inkosi noHamani base befika esidlweni u-Esteri ayesilungisile.
6 Inkosi yasisithi kuEsta edilini lewayini: Uyini umkhuleko wakho? Futhi siyini isicelo sakho? kuyakufezwa engxenyeni yombuso.
7 U-Esteri waphendula wathi: “Isicelo sami nesicelo sami yilokhu;
8 Uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni enkosi, futhi uma kukuhle enkosini ukunginika umkhuleko wami nokugcwalisa isicelo sami, inkosi noHamani mabeze esidlweni engibalungisele sona, futhi kusasa ngizobalungiselela. Yenza njengokusho kwenkosi.
9 Khona-ke uHamani waphuma ngalolo suku ejabula futhi enenhliziyo ejabulayo, kodwa lapho uHamani ebona uMoridekayi esangweni lenkosi ukuthi akasukumanga futhi akazange athuthumele ngenxa yakhe, uHamani wagcwala ulaka ngoMoridekayi.
10 Kepha uHamani wazibamba, wathi efika endlini yakhe, wabiza abangane bakhe noSereshi umkakhe.
11 UHamani wabalandisa ngenkazimulo yengcebo yakhe, nangobuningi babantwana bakhe, nakho konke inkosi eyamkhulisa ngakho, nokuthi uziphakamisile ngaphezu kwezikhulu nezinceku zenkosi.
12 Ngaphezu kwalokho, uHamani wathi: “Yebo, indlovukazi u-Esteri ayizange ivumele muntu ukuba angene kanye nenkosi esidlweni eyayisilungisile, ngaphandle kwami; futhi kusasa nami ngizomenywa kuye kanye nenkosi.
13 Kodwa konke lokhu akungisizi ngalutho, lapho ngibona uMoridekayi umJuda ehlezi esangweni lenkosi.
14 Umkakhe uSereshi labo bonke abangane bakhe bathi kuye: “Mawuphakanyiswe ugodo oluyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu, nikhulume enkosini kusasa ukuba uMoridekayi alengiswe kuso; bese ungena ngokuthokoza kanye nenkosi esidlweni. Lendaba yaba mnandi kuHamani; futhi wenza ugodo.

Esteri 4 : 16
16 Hamba uqoqe wonke amaJuda akhona eShushani, ningizilele, ningadli, ningaphuzi izinsuku ezintathu, ubusuku nemini. Mina nezincekukazi zami siyakuzila kanjalo; kanjalo ngiyongena enkosini, okuphambene nomthetho; futhi uma ngibhubha, ngiyabhubha.

Esteri 9 : 1 – 32
1 Ngenyanga yeshumi nambili, eyinyanga ka-Adari, ngosuku lweshumi nantathu lwayo, lapho kwakusondela isimemezelo senkosi nomthetho wayo ukuba wenziwe, ngalolo suku izitha zabaJuda zazinethemba lokunqoba ngalo. Babe nazo, (ngisho noma kwakuphambene, ukuthi amaJuda ayebusa phezu kwalabo ababewazonda;)
2 AbaJuda babuthana emizini yabo kuzo zonke izifunda zenkosi u-Ahashiveroshi ukuba babeke izandla phezu kwababefuna okubi kwabo; futhi akekho owayengamelana nabo; ngoba ukwesaba kwabo kwehlela phezu kwabantu bonke.
3 Bonke ababusi bezifunda, nezinduna, nezikhulu, nezikhulu zenkosi babasiza abaJuda; ngoba ukwesaba uMoridekayi kwabehlela.
4 Ngokuba uMoridekayi wayemkhulu endlini yenkosi, nodumo lwakhe lwaphumela ezifundeni zonke, ngokuba lowo muntu uMoridekayi waba mkhulu ngokuba mkhulu.
5 Ngakho abaJuda bachitha zonke izitha zabo ngokuceka kwenkemba, nangokubulala, nangokubhubhisa, benza njengokuthanda kwabo kwababazondayo.
6 Esigodlweni uSusan amaJuda abulala futhi abhubhisa amadoda angamakhulu amahlanu.
7 NoParshandatha noDalfoni no-Aspata,
8 noPoratha, no-Adaliya, no-Aridata,
9 neParmashta, no-Arisayi, no-Aridayi, noVayizatha,
10 Amadodana ayishumi kaHamani indodana kaHamedatha, isitha sabaJuda, ababulala; kepha abazibekanga izandla zabo empangweni.
11 Ngalolo suku inani lababulawa esigodlweni sikaSusan lalethwa phambi kwenkosi.
12 Inkosi yathi ku-Esteri indlovukazi: “AmaJuda abulala, achitha abantu abangamakhulu ayisihlanu esigodlweni sikaSusani kanye namadodana ayishumi kaHamani; benzani kwezinye izifunda zenkosi? manje siyini isicelo sakho? uyakunikwa; noma yisiphi isicelo sakho futhi? futhi kuyokwenzeka.
13 Wayesethi u-Esteri: “Uma inkosi ithanda, mawanikwe abaJuda abaseShushani ukuba benze nakusasa njengomthetho wanamuhla, namadodana ayishumi kaHamani alengiswe esigxotsheni.
14 Inkosi yasilaya ukuthi kube njalo, kwaphuma umlayo eSusa; bawaphanyeka amadodana ayishumi kaHamani.
15 AbaJuda ababeseShushani babuthana nabo ngosuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga ka-Adari, babulala abantu abangamakhulu amathathu eShushani; kepha abazibekanga izandla zabo empangweni.
16 Kodwa abanye abaJuda ababesezifundeni zenkosi babuthana, bamela ukuphila kwabo, baphumula ezitheni zabo, babulala ezitheni zabo eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu, kepha ababambanga izandla zabo empangweni.
17 Ngosuku lweshumi nantathu lwenyanga ka-Adari; ngosuku lweshumi nane lwaso baphumula, balwenza lwaba usuku lwedili nolokuthokoza.
18 Kepha abaJuda ababeseShushani babuthana ngolweshumi nantathu nangolweshumi nane; ngosuku lweshumi nanhlanu lwaso baphumula, balwenza lwaba usuku lwedili nolokuthokoza.
19 Ngakho abaJuda bemizi ababehlala emizini engabiyelweyo benza usuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga ka-Adari lube usuku lwenjabulo nolwedili nosuku oluhle, nolokuthumelelana izabelo.
20 UMoridekayi waloba lezi zinto, wathumela izincwadi kuwo wonke amaJuda ayesezifundazweni zonke zenkosi u-Ahashiveroshi, aseduze nakude;
21 ukukumisa phakathi kwabo, ukuthi bagcine usuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga ka-Adari nolweshumi nanhlanu lwayo minyaka yonke;
22 njengezinsuku amaJuda aphumula ngazo ezitheni zawo, nenyanga eyaguqulelwa kuwo usizi yaba intokozo, nokulila kwaba usuku oluhle; nezipho kwabampofu.
23 AmaJuda avuma ukwenza njengalokho ayeqalile, nanjengoba uMoridegayi wayewabhalele wona;
24 Ngoba uHamani indodana kaHamedatha umAgagi, isitha sawo wonke amaJuda, wayecebe abaJuda ukuba ababhubhise, baphonse iPhure, okuyinkatho, ukubaqothula, ababhubhise;
25 Kodwa lapho u-Esteri efika phambi kwenkosi, yayala ngezincwadi ukuba icebo lakhe elibi alicebile ngamaJuda libuyele ekhanda lakhe, futhi yena namadodana akhe baphanyekwe esigxotsheni.
26 Kungakho namuhla baqamba igama elithi iPhurimi ngegama lePhure. Ngakho, ngenxa yawo wonke amazwi ale ncwadi, nalokho abakubonayo, abafika kubo ngale ndaba,
27 AmaJuda anquma futhi azithathela wona kanye nenzalo yawo nabo bonke abazihlanganisa nawo, ukuze kungapheli, ukuthi bagcine lezi zinsuku ezimbili njengemibhalo yabo nangesikhathi sazo esimisiwe unyaka nonyaka;
28 nokuthi lezi zinsuku kufanele zikhunjulwe futhi zigcinwe yizo zonke izizukulwane ngezizukulwane, nezifunda ngezifunda nawo wonke umuzi; nokuthi lezi zinsuku zePhurimi zingashabalali phakathi kwamaJuda, futhi inkumbulo yazo ingashabalali enzalweni yawo.
29 Khona-ke u-Esteri indlovukazi, indodakazi ka-Abihayili, noMoridekayi umJuda baloba ngamandla onke ukuze baqinise le ncwadi yesibili yePurimi.
30 Wathumela izincwadi kubo bonke abaJuda ezifundeni eziyikhulu namashumi amabili nesikhombisa zombuso ka-Ahashiveroshi, ngamazwi okuthula neqiniso,
31 ukuze kuqinise lezo zinsuku zePhurimi ngezikhathi zazo ezimisiweyo, njengalokho uMoridekayi umJuda no-Esteri indlovukazi babayala, nanjengoko bezinqumile bona nenzalo yabo, izindaba zokuzila ukudla nokubiza kwabo.
32 Isiyalezo sika-Esteri saziqinisa lezi zindaba zePhurimi; futhi kulotshiwe encwadini.

2 Samuweli 1 : 1 – 27
1 Kwathi emva kokufa kukaSawule, uDavide ebuyile ekubulaleni ama-Amaleki, uDavide wahlala izinsuku ezimbili eZikilagi;
2 Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu kwaphuma umuntu ekamu, izingubo zikaSawule eziklebhukile, enothuli ekhanda lakhe; lapho efika kuDavide, wawa phansi, wakhuleka.
3 UDavida wasesithi kuye: Uvela ngaphi? Wathi kuye: “Ngiphunyukile ekamu lika-Israyeli.”
4 UDavida wasesithi kuye: Kwenze njani? ngiyakuncenga, ungitshele. Futhi waphendula: Ukuthi abantu babaleka empini, futhi futhi abaningi babantu bawa futhi bafa; noSawule noJonathani indodana yakhe bafa.
5 UDavida wasesithi kuyo ijaha elamtshelayo: Wazi ngani ukuthi uSawuli loJonathani indodana yakhe bafile?
6 Ijaha elamtshela lathi: “Ngathi ngifika entabeni yaseGilibowa, bheka, uSawule wayeme ngomkhonto wakhe; bheka, izinqola nabamahhashi bamxosha kanzima.
7 Wathi ebheka emva kwakhe, wangibona, wangibiza; Futhi ngiyaphendula: Nangu mina.
8 Yasisithi kimi: Ungubani? Ngathi kuye: “NgingumAmaleki.”
9 Wabuye wathi kimi: “Yima phezu kwami, ungibulale, ngokuba usizi lungehlele, ngokuba umphefumulo wami usaphelele kimi.”
10 Ngema phezu kwakhe, ngambulala, ngokuba ngangazi ukuthi akayikuphila emva kokuwa kwakhe; ngase ngithatha umqhele owawusekhanda lakhe nesongo elisengalweni yakhe ngakuletha lapha enkosini yami.
11 UDavide wathatha izingubo zakhe, waziklebhula; kanjalo nawo onke amadoda aye naye.
12 Balila, bakhala, bazila ukudla kwaze kwahlwa ngenxa kaSawule, nangenxa kaJonathani indodana yakhe, naphezu kwabantu bakaJehova, naphezu kwendlu yakwa-Israyeli; ngoba bawa ngenkemba.
13 UDavide wayesethi kuyo insizwa eyamtshelayo: “Ungowaphi na? Wathi: “Ngiyindodana yomfokazi, umAmaleki.”
14 UDavide wayesethi kuye: “Awuzange wesabe kanjani ukwelula isandla sakho ukubhubhisa ogcotshiweyo weNkosi na?
15 UDavida wasebiza enye yezinsizwa, wathi: Sondela umhlasele. Futhi wamshaya waze wafa.
16 UDavida wasesithi kuye: Igazi lakho liphezu kwekhanda lakho; ngoba umlomo wakho ufakazile ngawe, wathi: Mina ngibulele ogcotshiweyo weNkosi.
17 UDavide walilela ngalesi sililo ngoSawule nangoJonathani indodana yakhe.
18 (Futhi wabayala ukuba bafundise abantwana bakwaJuda ukusebenzisa umnsalo; bheka, kulotshiwe encwadini kaJasheri.)
19 Ubuhle buka-Israyeli bubulewe ezindaweni zakho eziphakemeyo; awe kanjani amaqhawe!
20 Lingakutsheli eGati, lingakwenzi kwaziwe ezitaladeni zeAshikeloni; ukuze amadodakazi amaFilisti angathokozi, namadodakazi angasokile angathokozi.
21 Zintaba zaseGilibowa, makungabikho mazolo, kungabikho mvula phezu kwenu, namasimu emihlatshelo; ngoba kukhona isihlangu samaqhawe, isihlangu sikaSawuli esilahlwe lapho kungathi kagcotshiweyo amafutha.
22 Egazini lababuleweyo, emanoni amaqhawe, umnsalo kaJonathani awubuyanga, nenkemba kaSawule ayibuyanga ilambatha.
23 OSawule noJonathani babebahle, bethandeka ekuphileni kwabo, nasekufeni kwabo abahlukananga; babenejubane kunezinkozi, babenamandla kunezingonyama.
24 Madodakazi akwa-Israyeli, mkhaleleni uSawule, owanigqokisa okubomvu nezinye izibiliboco, owafaka imihlobiso yegolide engutsheni yenu.
25 Yeka ukuwa kwamaqhawe phakathi kwempi! Jonathani, ubulewe ezindaweni zakho eziphakemeyo.
26 Ngikhathazekile ngawe, mfowethu Jonathani; wawumuhle kakhulu kimi; uthando lwakho kimi lwalumangalisa ngaphezu kothando lwabesifazane.
27 Yeka ukuwa kwamaqhawe nezikhali zempi zabhubha!
