Umkhumbi uyabuyiswa
1Umphongolo kaJehova wawusezweni lamaFilisti izinyanga eziyisikhombisa.
2AmaFilisti abiza abapristi nabahlola imihlola, athi: “Siyakwenze njani ngomphongolo kaJehova na?” sitshele ukuthi sizoyithumela ngani endaweni yayo.
3Bathi: “Uma niwumukisa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ningawuthumi uze; kodwa noma kunjalo nimbuyisele umnikelo wecala; khona-ke niyakuphiliswa, futhi nizokwaziwa kini ukuthi kungani isandla sakhe singasuswanga kini.
4Base bethi: “Uyini umnikelo wecala ukuba siwubuyisele kuye na?” Athi: Amankonjane amahlanu egolide namagundane ayisihlanu egolide njengomumo wezikhulu zamaFilisti, ngokuba isifo sinye sasiphezu kwenu nonke namakhosi enu.
5Ngalokho niyakuzenzela izithombe zabagayi benu nemifanekiso yamagundane enu abhubhisa izwe; futhi kumelwe nimkhazimulise uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli; mhlawumbe angasenza lula isandla sakhe kini, nakonkulunkulu benu, nasezweni lenu.
6Pho-ke niyenzelani lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu njengalokho abaseGibithe noFaro bazenza lukhuni izinhliziyo zabo na? Lapho esebenza ngokuyisimangaliso phakathi kwabo, abavumelanga yini abantu ukuthi banyakaze futhi basuke?
7Manje yenzani inqola entsha, nithathe izinkomo ezimbili ezincelisayo ezingaboshelwa ejokeni, nizibophe enqoleni, nibuyisele amathole azo ekhaya.
8Thathani umphongolo kaJehova, niwubeke enqoleni; izinto zegolide enizibuyisela kuye njengomnikelo wecala, nizibeke ebhokisini eliseduze kwalo; futhi uyimukise, ukuze ihambe.
9Bhekani, uma ikhuphuka ngendlela isuka ogwini lwakubo, iye eBeti Shemeshi, usenze lobu bubi obukhulu; kepha uma kungenjalo, sizokwazi ukuthi akusona isandla sakhe esisishayileyo; kwakuyithuba elenzeke kithi.
10Amadoda enza njalo; athatha izinkomo ezimbili ezanyisayo, azibophela enqoleni, azivalela amathole azo endlini.
11Bawubeka umphongolo kaJehova enqoleni, nebhokisi elinamagundane egolide nemifanekiso yezimpondo zabo eziloliwe.
12Izinkomo zahamba ngendlela eqondile endleleni yaseBeti Shemeshi, zahamba ngendlela ephakeme, zisatshekile, aziphendukanga ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo; izikhulu zamaFilisti zawalandela, zaze zafika emkhawulweni waseBeti Shemeshi.
13Abantu baseBeti Shemeshi babevuna ukolweni esigodini, baphakamisa amehlo abo, bawubona umphongolo, bathokoza ukuwubona.
14Inqola yafika ensimini kaJoshuwa waseBeti Shemi, yema khona lapho kwakukhona itshe elikhulu; bacanda izinkuni zenqola, banikela ngezinkomo zaba ngumnikelo wokushiswa kuJehova.
15AmaLevi ehlisa umphongolo kaJehova nebhokisi elalinawo, okwakukhona kuwo izinto zegolide, awubeka phezu kwetshe elikhulu; abantu baseBeti Shemeshi banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo kuJehova ngalona lolo suku.
16Lapho izikhulu ezinhlanu zamaFilisti zikubona lokho, zabuyela e-Ekroni ngalolo suku.
17Lawa angamasikela egolide amaFilisti awabuyisela kuJehova njengomnikelo wecala; ele-Ashidodi elilodwa, ngeleGaza elilodwa, ngele-Ashikeloni elilodwa, ngeleGati elilodwa, ngele-Ekroni elilodwa;
18namagundane egolide ngokwesibalo semizi yonke yamaFilisti eyezikhulu eziyisihlanu, imizi ebiyelweyo neyasemaphandleni, kwaze kwaba etsheni elikhulu lika-Abela abawubeka phezu kwalo umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova. NKOSI itshe elisekhona nanamuhla esiqeshini sezwe likaJoshuwa waseBeti Shemi.
19Wabulala abantu baseBeti Shemeshi, ngokuba babebheke emphongolweni kaJehova, yebo, wabulala abantu abangamashumi ayisithupha nanhlanu; isibhicongo.
20Base bethi abantu baseBeti Shemeshi: “Ngubani ongema phambi kwalo Jehova uNkulunkulu ongcwele na?” futhi uyokwenyukela kubani esuka kithi?
21Bathuma izithunywa kwabakhileyo eKiriyati Jeharimi ukuthi: “AmaFilisti awubuyisile umphongolo kaJehova; yehla uzoyicosha kuwe.
