INdaba 72: UZimu Urhelebha IKosi UHezekiya
UYAZI bona kubayini indoda le ithandaza kuJehova? Kubayini abeka iincwadezi phambi kwe-aldari lakaJehova? Indoda le, nguHezekiya. Uyikosi yeentjhaba eembili zesewula zakwa-Israyeli. Uqalene nomraro omkhulu. Kubayini?
Ngombana amabutho we-Asiriya gade sele atjhabalalise iintjhaba eziyi-10 zetlhagwini. UJehova wakuvumela lokho bona kwenzeke ngombana abantwabo bebangakalungi, nje-ke amabutho we-Asiriya gade sele eze ukuzokulwa nombuso wentjhaba eembili.
Ikosi ye-Asiriya iqeda ukuthumela iincwadi eKosini uHezekiya. Iincwadezo ngizo lezo uHezekiya azibeka phambi kwakaJehova. Iincwadezo bezihlekisa ngoJehova, zitjela noHezekiya bona azinikele. Kungalokho uHezekiya wathandaza wathi: ‘Maye Jehova, sisindisa ekosini ye-Asiriya. Ngalokho zoke iintjhaba zizokwazi bona unguZimu wena wedwa.’ UJehova bekazomlalela uHezekiya na?
UHezekiya gade ayikosi elungileko. Bekangafani namakhosi angakalungi wombuso wentjhaba eziyi-10 zakwa-Israyeli, namtjhana angafani noyise ongakalungi iKosi u-Ahazi. UHezekiya waqiniseka bona uyibulunga yoke iimthetho kaJehova. Ngalokho, ngemva kokobana uHezekiya aqede ukuthandaza, umphorofidi u-Isaya wathumela umlayezo ovela kuJehova kuye wathi: ‘Ikosi ye-Asiriya ngeze ize eJerusalema. Awekho ngitjho namajonayo azokutjhidela nokutjhidela hlanu kwalo. Awukho nomsubela owodwa abazowusubela ngemzini.’
Qala isithombe esisekhasineli. Uyazi bona abobani woke amajoni afileko la? Ma-Asiriya. UJehova wathumela ingilozakhe, ngobusuku obubodwa yabulala amajoni we-Asiriya ayi-185 000. Ngalokho ikosi ye-Asiriya yahlehla yabuyela emva ekhaya.
Umbuso weentjhaba eembili wasindiswa, abantu baba nokuthula isikhatjhana. Kodwana ngemva kokufa kwakaHezekiya indodanakhe uManase yaba yikosi. UManase nendodanakhe u-Amoni eyabusa ngemva kwakhe, bobabili gade bamakhosi angakalungi. Godu inarha yazala ubulelesi nenturhu. Lokha iKosi u-Amoni ibulawa ziinsebenzi zayo, uJosiya indodanakhe waba yikosi yombuso weentjhaba eembili.
