UJefta waseGileyadi AbaHluleli 11 1 UJefta wakwaGileyadi wayeyindoda enamandla neqhawe; wayeyindodana yesifebe; uGileyadi wazala uJefta. 2 UmkaGileyadi wamzalela amadodana; amadodana omkakhe esekhulile, amxosha uJefta, athi kuye: “Awuyikulidla ifa endlini kababa, ngokuba uyindodana yowesifazane ongaziwa.” 3 UJefta wabaleka ngenxa yabafowabo, wahlala ezweni laseThobi; kwabuthana amadoda ayiziwula kuJefta, aphuma naye. 4 Kwathi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, abantwana bakwa-Amoni balwa no-Israyeli. 5 Kwathi lapho abantwana bakwa-Amoni belwa no-Israyeli, amalunga akwaGileyadi aya ukumlanda uJefta ezweni laseThobi. 6 Bathi kuJefta: “Woza ube yinduna yethu, silwe nabantwana bakwa-Amoni.” 7 UJefta wathi kumalunga aseGileyadi: “Aningizondanga yini, nangixosha endlini kababa na? Nize ngani kimi manje nisekuhluphekeni na?” 8 Amalunga akwaGileyadi athi kuJefta: “Ngakho-ke sesibuyele kuwe manje, ukuze uhambe nathi, ulwe nabantwana bakwa-Amoni, ube yinhloko yethu phezu kwabo bonke abakhileyo kwaGileyadi.” 9 UJefta wathi kumalunga aseGileyadi: “Uma ningibuyisela ekhaya ukulwa nabantwana bakwaAmoni, uJehova abanikele phambi kwami, ngiyakuba yinhloko yenu na?” 10 Amalunga akwaGileyadi athi kuJefta: “UJehova makabe ngufakazi phakathi kwethu, uma singenzi njengamazwi akho.” 11 UJefta wahamba namalunga akwaGileyadi; abantu bamenza inhloko nomholi phezu kwabo; uJefta wakhuluma onke amazwi akhe phambi kukaJehova eMispa. 12 UJefta wathuma izithunywa enkosini yabantwana bakwa-Amoni, wathi: “Unamsebenzi muni nami, uze kimi ukulwa nezwe lakithi na?” 13 Inkosi yabantwana bakwa-Amoni yaphendula izithunywa zikaJefta, yathi: “Ngokuba u-Israyeli wathatha izwe lami ekukhuphukeni kwakhe eGibithe, kusukela e-Arinoni kuze kube seJaboki naseJordani; ngalokho buyiselani lawo mazwe ngokuthula.” 14 UJefta waphinda wathuma izithunywa enkosini yabantwana bakwa-Amoni,

15 bathi kuye: “Usho kanje uJefta, uthi: U-Israyeli akalithathanga izwe lakwaMowabi nezwe labantwana bakwa-Amoni. 16 Kepha ekukhuphukeni kuka-Israyeli eGibithe, wahamba ehlane waze wafika eLwandle Olubomvu, wafika eKadeshi; 17 U-Israyeli wathuma izithunywa enkosini yakwa-Edomi, wathi: “Ake ngidabule izwe lakho,” kepha inkosi yakwa-Edomi ayilalelanga; bathumela enkosini yakwaMowabi ngendlela efanayo, kodwa ayivumanga; u-Israyeli wahlala eKadeshi. 18 Base behamba ehlane, bazungeza izwe lakwa-Edomi nezwe lakwaMowabi, bafika ngasempumalanga yezwe lakwaMowabi, bamisa ngaphesheya kwe-Arinoni; kepha abangenanga emkhawulweni wakwaMowabi, ngokuba i-Arinoni lalingumkhawulo wakwaMowabi. 19 U-Israyeli wathuma izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, inkosi yaseHeshiboni; u-Israyeli wathi kuye: “Ake sidabule izwe lakho, siye endaweni yami.” 20 Kodwa uSihoni akamethembanga u-Israyeli ukuba adabule umkhawulo wakhe; kodwa uSihoni wabutha bonke abantu bakhe, wamisa eJahasi, walwa no-Israyeli. 21 UJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wanikela uSihoni nabo bonke abantu bakhe esandleni sikaIsrayeli, babanqoba; u-Israyeli wadla lonke izwe lama-Amori, abakhileyo kulelo zwe. 22 Badla izwe lonke lama-Amori, kusukela e-Arinoni kuze kube seJaboki, kusukela ehlane kuze kube seJordani. 23 Manje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uwaxoshile ama-Amori phambi kwabantu bakhe uIsrayeli; wena uyakulidla ifa lawo na? 24 Awuyikudla yini lokho uKemoshi unkulunkulu wakho akunika khona ukuba ukudle, na? Labo uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu abaxosha phambi kwethu, nabo siyakudla ifa labo. 25 Manje ungcono yini kunoBalaki indodana kaSipori, inkosi yakwaMowabi, na? Wake walwa noIsrayeli, noma wake walwa nabo, 26 U-Israyeli esahlala eHeshiboni nasemizaneni yalo, nase-Aroweri nasemizaneni yalo, nasemizini yonke engaseceleni kwe-Arinoni iminyaka engamakhulu amathathu, anizange niyithole ngani ngaleso sikhathi na? 27 Ngakho mina angikonanga, kodwa wena wenza okubi kimi ngokulwa nami; uJehova uMahluleli makahlulele namuhla phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli nabantwana bakwa-Amoni.” 28 Kodwa inkosi yabantwana bakwa-Amoni ayilalelanga amazwi kaJefta awathumela kuye. 29 UMoya kaJehova wehlela kuJefta, wadlula eGileyadi nakwaManase, wadlula eMispa lakwaGileyadi; esuka eMispa lakwaGileyadi wadlulela kubantwana bakwa-Amoni. 30 UJefta wenza isithembiso kuJehova, wathi: “Uma unikela impela abantwana bakwa-Amoni esandleni sami, 31 Kuyakuthi noma ngubani ophuma emnyango wendlu yami ukungihlangabeza, lapho ngibuya ngokuthula kubantwana bakwa-Amoni, abe ngokaJehova, ngimnikele abe ngumnikelo wokushiswa. 32 UJefta wayesewelela kubantwana bakwa-Amoni ukuyolwa nabo; uJehova wabanikela esandleni sakhe. 33 Wababulala kusukela e-Aroweri kuze kube seMiniti, imizi engamashumi amabili, nase-Abela, umvini, ngokuceka okukhulu kakhulu. Abantwana bakwa-Amoni banqotshwa kanjalo phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli. 34 UJefta wafika eMispa endlini yakhe, bheka, indodakazi yakhe yaphuma ukumhlangabeza, inezigubhu nokusina; yayiyiyo yodwa ingane yakhe; ngaphandle kwakhe wayengenandodana nandodakazi. 35 Kwathi lapho eyibona, waklebhula izingubo zakhe, wathi: “Maye, ndodakazi yami! Ungithobisile kakhulu, ungomunye wabangihluphayo; ngokuba ngivulile umlomo wami kuJehova, anginakubuyela emuva.” 36 Wathi kuye: “Baba, uma uvulile umlomo wakho kuJehova, yenza kimi njengalokho okuphumile emlonyeni wakho, lokhu uJehova ekuphindisele ezitheni zakho, kubantwana bakwa-Amoni.”

37 Yathi kuyise: “Mangenzele lokhu: ngiyeke izinyanga ezimbili, ngiye ngehle ezintabeni, ngililele ubuntombi bami, mina nabangane bami.” 38 Wayesethi: “Hamba.” Wayimukisa izinyanga ezimbili; yahamba nabangane bayo, yalilela ubuntombi bayo ezintabeni. 39 Kwathi ekupheleni kwezinyanga ezimbili yabuyela kuyise, owenza kuye njengesithembiso sakhe asifungile; yona yayingazi ndoda. Kwakuyisiko kwa-Israyeli, 40 ukuthi amadodakazi akwa-Israyeli ayeya minyaka yonke ukuyolilela indodakazi kaJefta wakwaGileyadi izinsuku ezine ngonyaka.
AbaHluleli 12 1 Amadoda akwa-Efrayimi abuthana, aya ngasenyakatho, athi kuJefta: “Uweleleni ukuyolwa nabantwana bakwa-Amoni, ungasibizanga ukuba sihambe nawe na? Siyakushisa indlu yakho phezu kwakho ngomlilo.” 2 UJefta wathi kubo: “Mina nabantu bami besilwa kakhulu nabantwana bakwa-Amoni; lapho nganibiza, aningisindisanga esandleni sabo.” 3 Lapho ngibona ukuthi aningisindisanga, ngabeka ukuphila kwami ezandleni zami, ngadlulela kubantwana bakwa-Amoni, uJehova wabanikela esandleni sami; pho, nikhuphukeleni kimi namuhla ukulwa nami na? 4 UJefta wayesebutha bonke abantu bakwaGileyadi, walwa no-Efrayimi; amadoda aseGileyadi amshaya u-Efrayimi, ngokuba wathi: “Nina maGileyadi ningababaleki bakwa-Efrayimi phakathi kwabakwa-Efrayimi naphakathi kwabakwaManase.” 5 AbakwaGileyadi bavimba amazibuko aseJordani phambi kwabakwa-Efrayimi; kwathi lapho abaphunyukileyo bakwa-Efrayimi bethi: “Mangiwele,” abantu bakwaGileyadi bathi kuye: “UngumEfrayimi na?” Uma ethi: “Cha,” 6 Base bethi kuye: “Manje yisho ukuthi: ‘Shiboleti.’ ” Wayesethi: ‘Siboleti,’ ngokuba wayengenakukwazi ukulibiza kahle.” Base bembamba, bambulala ngasemazibukweni aseJordani; kwawa ngaleso sikhathi abantu bakwa-Efrayimi abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane nambili. 7 UJefta wamahlulela u-Israyeli iminyaka eyisithupha; uJefta wakwaGileyadi wafa, wangcwatshwa komunye wemizi yakwaGileyadi.
Amazwana Indaba kaJefta , etholakala kubaHluleli Izahluko 11 no-12 zeBhayibheli iKing James, ingenye yezindaba ezinamandla kakhulu, eziyinkimbinkimbi, nezibuhlungu eTestamenteni Elidala. Ibonisa iqhawe elinamandla elaliwe ngumndeni walo elivukayo ukuzokhulula u-Israyeli, kodwa labanjwa yisifungo esibuhlungu futhi kamuva lahileleka empini yombango ebuhlungu.

11:4–11 — Abadala baseGileyadi Bafuna Usizo Lapho ama-Amoni elwa no-Israyeli, abadala baseGileyadi baqaphela ukuthi badinga umlawuli wempi. Baya ezweni laseThobi ukuyocela uJefta ukuba abahole. UJefta uqala ngokubabhekana nokulahlwa kwabo kwangaphambilini, kodwa bavumelana ngokuthi uma ebahola ekunqobeni, uzoba yinhloko yabo bonke abakhileyo eGileyadi. Basayina lesi sifungo phambi kweNkosi eMispa. 11:12–28 — Izingxoxo ZikaJefta Zezombusazwe Nezenkolo Ngaphambi kokulwa, uJefta uthumela izithunywa enkosini yama-Amoni, ebuza ukuthi kungani behlasela izwe lama-Israyeli. Inkosi yama-Amoni ithi ama-Israyeli athathe izwe lawo lapho ephuma eGibhithe. UJefta uphendula ngokuzivikela okuningiliziwe komlando kanye nemfundiso yenkolo: Ama-Israyeli awathathanga izwe kuma-Amoni noma kumaMowabi, kodwa kuSihoni, inkosi yamaAmori, uNkulunkulu ayinikela ezandleni zawo. Uphonsela inselelo ilungelo lika-Amoni lokukhononda ngemva kweminyaka engamakhulu amathathu yokuhlalisana ngokuthula futhi ushiya isahlulelo eNkosini. Inkosi yama-Amoni ayiwunaki umyalezo. 11:29 — Amandla kaMoya “Khona-ke uMoya weNkosi wehlela kuJefta.” Enikwe amandla nguNkulunkulu, uJefta udabula eGileyadi nakwaManase, eqoqa amabutho, futhi uyahamba aye kuma-Amoni. 11:30–31 — Isifungo SikaJefta Sokushesha Ngaphambi kwempi, uJefta wenza isifungo eNkosini: uma uNkulunkulu enikela ama-Amoni ezandleni zakhe, noma yini ephuma emnyango wendlu yakhe ukuzomhlangabeza lapho ebuya ngokuthula iyakuba ngekaJehova, futhi iyoyinikela njengomnikelo wokushiswa. 11:32–33 — Ukunqoba u-Amoni UJefta uyasondela futhi ulwa nama-Amoni. Ngosizo lweNkosi, ubanqoba kakhulu emizini engamashumi amabili, enqoba ama-Amoni phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli. 11:34–40 — Ukubuya Ekhaya Okubuhlungu Nokugcwaliseka Kwesifungo UJefta ubuyela ekhaya eMizpa. Umntwana wakhe okuwukuphela kwakhe—indodakazi yakhe— uyaphuma ukuzomhlangabeza esina ngezigubhu. Ehlushwa usizi, uJefta uklebhula izingubo zakhe futhi ukhalela isifungo sakhe, eqaphela ukuthi akanakusibuyisela emuva. Indodakazi yakhe iyazithoba ngesibindi, icela izinyanga ezimbili kuphela ukuya ezintabeni nabangane bayo ukuyokhalela ubuntombi bayo. Ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbili, iyabuya, futhi uJefta ugcwalisa isifungo sakhe phezu kwayo. Lesi senzakalo siba isiko laminyaka yonke lapho amadodakazi akwaIsrayeli emlilela khona izinsuku ezine njalo ngonyaka. AbaHluleli Isahluko 12: Impi Yombango No-Efrayimi NabaHluleli Abalandelayo 12:1–3 — Isikhalo Sika-Efrayimi Amadoda aqhoshayo akwa-Efrayimi ayahlangana futhi awelela eZafoni, ebhekene noJefta ngentukuthelo. Akhononda ngokuthi waya empini nama-Amoni ngaphandle kokubabiza ukuba bamsize, futhi asongela ngokushisa indlu yakhe kanye naye ngaphakathi. UJefta uphendula ngokuthi yena nabantu bakhe bacela usizo lapho besebunzimeni obukhulu, kodwa u-Efrayimi akabasindisanga. 12:4–6 — Impi Yombango kanye Nokuhlolwa "kukaShiboleti" UJefta uqoqa amadoda aseGileyadi futhi ulwa no-Efrayimi, abanqoba. AmaGileyadi athatha imifula yoMfula iJordani. Lapho abakwa-Efrayimi ababalekile bezama ukuwela emuva, onogada babavivinya ngokubacela ukuba basho igama elithi “Shiboleti.” Ngenxa yokuthi ulimi lwakwa-

Efrayimi alukwazi ukuphimisa umsindo othi “sh”, baphimisa ngokuthi “Siboleti.” Lokhu kunikeza ulimi kuyabadalula, okuholela ekubulaweni kwabakwa-Efrayimi abangu-42,000. 12:7 — Ukufa KukaJefta UJefta wahlulela u-Israyeli iminyaka eyisithupha ngaphambi kokuba afe. Wangcwatshwa komunye wemizi yaseGileyadi.
Ingxenye 2: Izifundo Eziyinhloko kanye Nezicelo Zokuphila 1. UNkulunkulu Angasebenzisa Abaxoshiwe Nabanqatshiwe Isifundo: UJefta waxoshwa ngumndeni wakhe ngenxa yesizinda sakhe, kodwa uNkulunkulu wamkhetha ukuba asindise isizwe sonke. Ukusebenza: Ungalokothi uvumele isikhathi sakho esidlule, isizinda somndeni, noma ukwenqatshwa ngumuntu kuchaze amandla akho. UNkulunkulu uvame ukusebenzisa abantu abanganakwa noma abanganakwa umphakathi ukuze afeze izinjongo ezingavamile. 2. Ukubaluleka Okubalulekile Kokuqapha Amazwi Akho (Ingozi Yezifungo Ezisheshayo) Isifundo: UJefta wenza isifungo esingadingekile nesisheshayo ngenxa yentshiseko engokomzwelo nokukhathazeka, okwaholela enhlekeleleni yakhe siqu ebuhlungu kakhulu. Ukusebenza: Amazwi anesisindo esikhulu. Kumelwe siqaphele ngezithembiso ezingacabangi, izimemezelo ezingokomzwelo, noma izibopho ezenziwe ngaphansi kwengcindezi. Ukholo lweqiniso luthemba ubukhosi bukaNkulunkulu ngaphandle kokuzama "ukufumbathisa" noma ukuxoxisana Naye ngezithembiso ezingacabangi (UmShumayeli 5:2, 5). 3. Ukwazi Umlando Wakho Nokuma Eqinisweni Isifundo: UJefta wayengeyena nje iqhawe elinonya; wayenolwazi olujulile ngomlando wakwaIsrayeli kanye nokusebenzelana kukaNkulunkulu nezizwe ezizungezile. Wasebenzisa izingxoxo zokubonisana kanye neqiniso lomlando ngaphambi kokusebenzisa ubudlova. Ukusebenza: Zinzise eqinisweni leZwi likaNkulunkulu kanye neqiniso lomlando. Ukwazi isisekelo sokholo lwakho kukuvumela ukuthi uphendule abagxeki, uxazulule izingxabano ngokuhlakanipha, futhi ume uqine ngokumelene nezinsolo ezingamanga. 4. Isimo Esibhubhisayo Sokuziqhenya Nobuzwe Isifundo: Abakwa-Efrayimi babeqhutshwa ukuqhosha okwalimala, umona, kanye nokuzazisa kwesizwe, okwaholela empini yombango engenangqondo eyabulala amashumi ezinkulungwane zama-Israyeli. Ukusebenza: Ukuziqhenya kanye nokuphikisana okuncane phakathi kwamakholwa (noma emiphakathini nasemindenini) kubhubhisa ubunye ngaphakathi. Esikhundleni sokulwa ngokuthi ubani othola udumo noma inkazimulo, kufanele sibeke phambili umbuso kaNkulunkulu kanye nokusekelana.

5. Izinsimbi Zomuntu Ezinephutha Nomusa Waphezulu Isifundo: UJefta ubhalwe ohlwini lwe-New Testament Faith Hall (Hebheru 11:32), kodwa impilo yakhe yayiphawulwe ngamaphutha amakhulu, izinqumo ezisheshayo, kanye nempi yezizwe enonya. Ukusebenza: UNkulunkulu usebenza ngabantu abaphukile, abangaphelele. Nakuba izinqumo zethu ezimbi zisalokhu zinemiphumela ebuhlungu yasemhlabeni, umusa kaNkulunkulu ungahlenga inhliziyo evumayo, noma ngabe leyo nhliziyo ilukhuni nxazonke.
UJefta eTestamenteni Elisha KumaHebheru 11 — ngokuvamile okubizwa ngokuthi “iHholo Lokholo” — uJefta uthola ukukhulunywa okungalindelekile nokuhloniphekile phakathi kwamaqhawekazi namaqhawe amakhulu emlandweni weBhayibheli. Ngenxa yemiphumela ebuhlungu kanye nokungacaci kokuziphatha okulotshwe endabeni yakhe kubaHluleli, ukufakwa kwakhe kulesi sahluko kunikeza ukuqonda okujulile ngendlela iTestamente Elisha elibheka ngayo ukholo, umusa, kanye nokungapheleli kwabantu. 1. Lapho UJefta Evela Khona KumaHebheru 11 UJefta kukhulunywa ngaye kumaHebheru 11:32–34 : "Futhi ngizothini okunye? Ngoba isikhathi sizongishiya sokulandisa ngoGideyoni, noBharaki, noSamsoni, noJefta [ uJefta], noDavide, noSamuweli, nabaprofethi: Labo ngokholo banqoba imibuso, benza ukulunga, bathola izithembiso, bavala imilomo yezingonyama, bacima ulaka lomlilo, basinda osikweni lwenkemba, baqiniswa ebuthakathakeni, baba nesibindi empini, baxosha amabutho ezihambi." 2. Ukuqonda Okubalulekile Okuvela Embonweni WeTestamente Elisha A. Ukholo Luqashelwa Phakathi Kwesintu Esinamaphutha Incwadi yabaHluleli iveza isikhathi sokwehla ngokomoya kwa-Israyeli, futhi impilo kaJefta yayingahlanzekile neze noma yayingaphelele. Wayengumntwana ongaphandle komshado, edingisiwe, engumholi “wamadoda ayize,” futhi eyiqhawe elenza isifungo esingalindelekile esaphetha ngenhlekelele. Noma kunjalo, amaHebheru 11 awabaluli abangcwele ngokusekelwe ekupheleleni kokuziphatha; abalulibala ngokusekelwe okholweni . Umlobi weTestamente Elisha akawunaki ubandlululo lukaJefta emphakathini, isizinda esinzima, kanye namaphutha akhe ukuze aqaphele isikhathi lapho ebeka ithemba lakhe kuNkulunkulu ukuze alwele u-Israyeli. Ukuncoma kukaNkulunkulu eTestamenteni Elisha kusekelwe ekuthembeleni kuYe , hhayi ekupheleleni komuntu. B. "Ebuthakathakeni Saqiniswa" AmaHebheru 11:34 afingqa okuhlangenwe nakho kwabahluleli abaningi ngamazwi athi: "ebuthakathakeni baqiniswa." Ubuthakathaka bukaJefta: Waqala eyisisulu esixoshwe ngabafowabo (AbaHluleli 11:2) futhi wayengenalo uhlu lozalo olungokwesiko noluhloniphekile. Amandla KaNkulunkulu: Lapho uMoya weNkosi ufika phezu kwakhe (AbaHluleli 11:29), ubuthakathaka bakhe bemvelo kanye nokudingiswa kwakhe emphakathini kwaguqulwa kwaba igunya elingokomoya kanye nokukhululwa kwezempi.

Ukuxhumana kweTestamente Elisha: Lokhu kuhambisana ngqo nemfundiso yenkolo kaPawulu kweyesi-2 kwabaseKorinte 12:9 ( "Umusa wami ukwanele; ngokuba amandla ami apheleliswa ebuthakathakeni" ). C. Ukholo Olubonakaliswa Ngokukholwa Ngamazwi Nangokwemfundiso Yenkolo Ngaphambi kokuba uJefta alwe nama-Amoni, wahlanganyela ekushintshaneni isikhathi eside kwezombusazwe okusekelwe emlandweni wakwa-Israyeli (AbaHluleli 11:12-27). Wamemezela ngesibindi ukuthi iNkosi uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli inike abantu bayo izwe futhi waqinisekisa: "INkosi uMahluleli mayibe ngumahluleli namuhla phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli nabantwana bakwa-Amoni." Ukholo lukaJefta lwabonakaliswa ukuqiniseka kwakhe ukuthi uNkulunkulu onguMahluleli ophakeme futhi ungumbusi phezu kwemibuso yabantu .
