Bewazi yini ukuthi kwenzekani emzini waseGibeya?? KwabaHluleli 19, sifunda ngomuzi waseGibeya nokuthi kwenzeka into ephendukezelwe cishe ncamashi efanayo eGibeya njengaseSodoma. Abantu basedolobheni laseGibeya babebabi futhi behlanekezelwe njengabantu baseSodoma. Babengenandaba noNkulunkulu namazwi Akhe, futhi babengenandaba nabanye. Babengabantu abanobugovu futhi bephila ngemva kwe (ucansi) Izifiso Nezifiso Zenyama Yabo. Sifunda eBhayibhelini ngamadoda asondelana namanye amadoda. Kwaba njalo naseGibeya. Kokubili iSodoma nemizi ezungezile, iGibeya yayihlangene ngento eyodwa: babegcwele izono kanye nobubi ngenxa yobubi nokuhlanekezela kwabantu. Ngenxa yezono zabo kanye nobubi babo, ISodoma labhujiswa ngesibabule nomlilo futhi idolobha laseGibeya labhujiswa ngenkemba nangomlilo. Ake sibheke idolobha laseSodoma kuGenesise 19 nomuzi waseGibeya kwabaHluleli 19 futhi uqhathanise womabili amadolobha.
Okwenzeka emzini waseSodoma?
Kwafika izingelosi ezimbili eSodoma sekuhlwile; uLoti wayehlezi esangweni laseSodoma:uLoti ezibona wasukuma wazihlangabeza; wakhothama ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi; Wathi, Bheka manje, makhosi ami, ngena, ngiyakuncenga, endlini yenceku yakho, futhi uhlale ubusuku bonke, futhi ugeze izinyawo zakho, niyakuvuka ekuseni, nihambe ngezindlela zenu. Bathi, Cha; kodwa sizahlala emgwaqweni ubusuku bonke.
Futhi wabacindezela kakhulu; basebephambukela kuye, wangena endlini yakhe; wabenzela idili, wabhaka isinkwa esingelamvubelo, badla. Kodwa ngaphambi kokuthi balale, amadoda omuzi, ngisho namadoda aseSodoma, wazungeza indlu, abadala nabancane, bonke abantu abavela ezindaweni zonke: Bambiza uLoti, wathi kuye, Aphi amadoda angena kuwe ngalobu busuku? zikhiphele kithi, ukuze sibazi.
ULoti waphuma waya kubo emnyango, wavala umnyango emva kwakhe, Futhi wathi, ngiyakuncenga, bazalwane, ningenzi okubi kangako. Bheka manje, Nginamadodakazi amabili angayazi ndoda; Ngivumele, ngiyakuncenga, zikhiphele kini, nenze kuzo njengokuhle emehlweni enu:kuphela kulaba bantu ningenzi lutho; ngoba ngalokho beza ngaphansi komthunzi wophahla lwami. Bathi, Yima emuva. Baphinda bathi, Lo mfana wangena ukuzohlala, futhi uzodinga umahluleli:manje siyakukuphatha kabi, kunabo.
Bamcindezela kakhulu lowo muntu, ngisho noLoti, wasondela ukuze agqekeze umnyango. Kodwa amadoda elula isandla sawo, wamdonsela kubo uLoti endlini, avale umnyango. Base beshaya amadoda ayesemnyango wendlu ngobumpumputhe, abancane nabakhulu:baze bakhathala befuna umnyango (Genesis 19:1-11)
INKOSI yavula iSodoma naphezu kweGomora isibabule nomlilo ovela eNkosini ezulwini; Wagumbuqela lawo mizi, kanye nethafa lonke, nabo bonke abakhileyo emadolobheni, futhi lokho kwakhula emhlabathini (Genesis 19:24,25)
Kwenzekani edolobheni laseGibeya?
Kwathi ngosuku lwesine, lapho bona (umLevi othile, isancinza sakhe, nenceku yakhe) wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, ukuthi asukume ahambe:uyise wentombi wathi kumkhwenyana wakhe, Dumisa inhliziyo yakho ngocezu lwesinkwa, andukuba uhambe. Bahlala phansi, badla, banatha bobabili kanyekanye:ngoba uyise wentombazana wayetshilo endodeni, Yaneliseka, ngiyakuncenga, futhi uhlale ubusuku bonke, inhliziyo yakho ijabule. Kwathi indoda isukuma ukuthi ihambe, Uyisezala wamncenga: wabuye walala khona.
Wavuka ekuseni kakhulu ngosuku lwesihlanu ukuba ahambe:wathi uyise wentombi, Duduza inhliziyo yakho, ngiyakuncenga. Bahlala kwaze kwahlwa, basebesidla bobabili. Kwathi indoda isukuma ukuthi ihambe, yena, nesancinza sakhe, nenceku yakhe, uyisezala, ubaba wentombazane, wathi kuye, Bheka, manje usuku seluyakusihlwa, Ngicela uhlale ubusuku bonke:bheka, usuku lukhula luze lube sekupheleni, hlala lapha, ukuze inhliziyo yakho ijabule; futhi kusasa niphuthume endleleni yenu, ukuze uye ekhaya. Kodwa indoda ayizange ilale ngalobo busuku, kodwa wasukuma wahamba, weza maqondana neJebusi, okuyiJerusalema; kwakukhona naye izimbongolo ezimbili eziboshelwe izihlalo, nesancinza sakhe sasinaye.
Futhi lapho beseJebusi, usuku lwaphela; yasisithi inceku enkosini yayo, Woza, ngiyakuncenga, siphambukele kulo muzi wamaJebusi, nilale kuyo. Yathi kuye inkosi yakhe, Ngeke siphambukele lapha emzini wezihambi, lowo ongesiye owabantwana bakoIsrayeli; siyakuwelela eGibeya. Wathi encekwini yakhe, Woza, futhi masisondele kwenye yalezi zindawo ukuze silale ubusuku bonke, eGibeya, noma eRama.
Badlula bahamba; ilanga latshona bengaseGibeya, elingesikaBhenjamini. Baphambukela khona, ukungena nokulala eGibeya: kwathi esengena, wamhlalisa phansi esigcawini somuzi: ngoba kwakungekho muntu owabangenisa endlini yakhe ukuze balalise.
Na-, bheka, kwafika ixhegu liphuma emsebenzini walo kusihlwa, eyayingeyasezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi; wagogobala eGibeya: kepha amadoda aleyo ndawo ayengabakwaBenjamini. Esephakamise amehlo akhe, wabona umhambi ezitaladini zomuzi: lathi ikhehla, Uyaphi? uvela ngaphi?
Wayesethi kuye, Sidlula eBetlehema Juda siya ohlangothini lwezintaba zakwa-Efrayimi; ngisuka lapho:ngase ngiya eBetlehema Juda, kodwa manje ngiya endlini yeNkosi; njalo kakho ongamukela endlini. Nokho kukhona kokubili utshani nefolishi yezimbongolo zethu; kukhona futhi isinkwa newayini kimi, nencekukazi yakho, nensizwa ekanye nezinceku zakho: akukho ukuswela lutho. Lathi ikhehla, Ukuthula makube kuwe; kodwa konke ukuswela kwakho akube phezu kwami; kuphela ungalali emgwaqeni. Ngakho wamngenisa endlini yakhe, wazinika izimbongolo: bageza izinyawo zabo, wadla, waphuza.
Manje njengoba babejabulisa izinhliziyo zabo, bheka, amadoda omuzi, amadodana kaBheliyali, yazungeza indlu nxazonke, ashaye emnyango, wakhuluma kumninindlu, ikhehla, ethi, Khipha umuntu ongene endlini yakho, ukuze simazi. Futhi indoda, umninikhaya, waphuma waya kubo, wathi kubo, Cha, Bazalwane bami, cha, ngiyakuncenga, ningenzi okubi kangako; ngoba lomuntu ungenile endlini yami, ungakwenzi lobu buwula.
Bheka, nansi indodakazi yami intombi, nesancinza sakhe; bona ngizobakhipha manje, nibathobise, nenze kuzo okuhle emehlweni enu: kodwa kulendoda lingenzi into embi kangako. Kodwa amadoda kazange amlalele: indoda yasithatha isancinza sayo, wamkhiphela phandle kubo; basebemazi, wayihlukumeza ubusuku bonke kwaze kwasa: nalapho ilanga seliqala ukuvela, bamdedele.
Kwabe sekufika owesifazane ekuseni, wawela emnyango wendlu yomuntu lapho inkosi yakhe yayikhona, kwaze kwakhanya. Yavuka inkosi yakhe ekuseni, wavula iminyango yendlu, waphuma ukuba ahambe:futhi, bheka, owesifazane isancinza sakhe wayewile ngasemnyango wendlu, izandla zakhe zazisembundwini. Wathi kuye, Phezulu, futhi asihambe. Kodwa akekho owaphendula. Khona-ke indoda yamkhwelisa embongolweni, yasukuma indoda, wamngenisa endaweni yakhe (Abahluleli 19:11-29)
Isizwe sakwaBenjamini sahlaselwa ububi
Izizwe zakwa-Israyeli zabuthana eNkosini eMispa, njengomuntu oyedwa. Izizwe zaxoxa, ukwenzani ngobubi, okwenzeka esizweni sakwaBenjamini. Banquma ukukhuphuka, eGibeya, ngenkatho ngokumelene nalo.
Babezocela abantwana bakwaBenjamini ukuba bakhulule amadoda, ngubani owenza lobububi. Ukuze, babengababulala, basuse ububi kwa-Israyeli. Kepha abantwana bakwaBenjamini bala.
Izizwe zakwa-Israyeli zathuma amadoda kuso sonke isizwe sakwaBenjamini, ethi, Ububi bani lobu obenziwa phakathi kwenu? Ngakho-ke sikhululeni amadoda, abantwana bakaBheliyali, abaseGibeya, ukuze sibabulale, asuse ububi kwaIsrayeli. Kodwa abantwana bakoBhenjamini kabavumanga ukulalela ilizwi labafowabo, abantwana bakoIsrayeli: Kepha abantwana bakwaBenjamini babuthana eGibeya bephuma emizini, ukuphuma ukulwa nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli (Abahluleli 20:12-14)
Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babachitha abakwaBenjamini
Yaqala-ke impi. Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhuphukela endlini kaNkulunkulu, futhi wacela iseluleko kuYe. INkosi yabayala ukuthi benzeni. Impi yathatha 3 izinsuku. UJehova wayesebanikela abantwana bakwaBenjamini esandleni sabantwana bakwa-Israyeli. Ngosuku lwesithathu, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babachitha abakwaBenjamini.
Base bebona abantwana bakwaBenjamini ukuthi banqotshiwe: ngokuba amadoda akwa-Israyeli asuka kwabakwaBenjamini, ngoba babethembele kubaqamekeli ababebabekile ngaseGibeya. Abaqamekeli bashesha, watheleka eGibeya; nabaqamekeli bahlehla, watshaya wonke umuzi ngosiko lwenkemba. Kwakukhona isibonakaliso phakathi kwamadoda akwa-Israyeli nabaqamekeli, ukuze benze ilangabi elikhulu lomusi likhuphuke liphume emzini. Futhi lapho amadoda akwa-Israyeli ehlehla ekulweni, UBenjamini waqala ukuhlasela nokubulala amadoda akwa-Israyeli kungathi abantu abangamashumi amathathu:ngoba bathi, Impela bashaywa phambi kwethu, njengasempini yokuqala (Jud 20:36-40)
Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baqhubeka nokulwa
Aphenduka abalekela ehlane edwaleni lakwaRimoni:basebekhothoza kubo emigwaqweni amadoda azinkulungwane ezinhlanu; bawaxosha kakhulu kwaze kwaba seGidomi, wabulala kubo abantu abayizinkulungwane ezimbili. Bonke abawa ngalolo suku kwaBenjamini babe ngamadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu ahloma inkemba; bonke labo babengamadoda anamandla. Kepha abantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha baphenduka, babalekela ehlane edwaleni lakwaRimoni, wahlala edwaleni lakwaRimoni izinyanga ezine (Jud 20:45-48)
Esinye sezizwe eziyishumi nambili asizange sithembeke kuJehova, wenza okubi emehlweni akhe. Ngenxa yalokho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babulala cishe bonke abantwana bakwaBhenjamini. Uma ungathanda ukwazi ukuthi lokhu kuphetha kanjani, ungafunda isahluko 21 yencwadi yabaHluleli.
Kodwa ake sibuyele esihlokweni sale bhulogi, futhi ubheke ukufana phakathi kweSodoma neGibeya.
Ukufana phakathi kweSodoma neGibeya
Kuwo womabili amadolobha, amadoda ayefuna ukwazana namanye amadoda. ESodoma, babefuna ukwazana lamadoda amabili; izingelosi ezimbili. EGibeya, babefuna ukwazi amaLevi. ‘Ukwazi kwakusho ukuba nobuhlobo bobulili nabo.
Bobabili abaphathi bezindlu abazange bavume izicelo zabo futhi bavikela amadoda. ESodoma, ULoti wanikela ngamadodakazi akhe omabili ayizintombi. EGibeya, ixhegu lanikela ngendodakazi yalo eyintombi kanye nesancinza somLevi.
Amadoda aseSodoma awazange amlalele uLothi futhi awazange asamukele isithembiso sikaLothi. Bayicindezela kabuhlungu indoda, ngisho noLoti, wasondela ukuze agqekeze umnyango. Kodwa la madoda amabili amdonsela uLoti endlini avala umnyango. Ashaya amadoda ngobumpumputhe, ngakho-ke abakwazanga ukuthola umnyango. Ngakusasa ekuseni amadoda amabili, Okuningi, umkakhe namadodakazi akhe babaleka. Nomuzi waseSodoma (kanye neGomora) wabhujiswa ngesibabule nomlilo.
Amadoda omuzi waseGibeya awazange alalele nendoda endala. Babengafuni ukwamukela isipho sakhe. Ngakho-ke umLevi wasikhipha isancinza sakhe amadoda asazi. Bamdlwengula futhi bamhlukumeza ubusuku bonke. Kwathi sekusile, bamdedele. Owesifazane wawela phambi kwendlu yendoda, lapho inkosi yakhe yayikhona, futhi wafa.
Yomibili lemizi yayigcwele ububi. Amadoda ayekhohlakele futhi enza okubi emehlweni kaNkulunkulu ngakho kwakufanele abhujiswe.
Amadoda ayephendukele kuNkulunkulu futhi ahamba ngendlela yawo; indlela yenyama. Babefuna ukuphila ngokuvumelana tukhanuka inyama yabo futhi banelise izinkanuko zabo. Amadoda ayengafuni ukuphenduka eNkosini futhi engafuni ukulalela uJehova. Babengafuni ukuphila ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu nemiyalo kaNkulunkulu.
Baphila ngokuhlubuka kuNkulunkulu. Kuzo zombili izindaba siyabona, iyini isiphetho sokugcina sokuhlubuka kuNkulunkulu: isibhicongo (Ukufa Okuphakade).
