Inkalo ehlekisayo yale ncwadi kukuba isekelwe kwingxelo engacacanga kaSargon waseAkkad. Umntu wokuqala kwiplanethi ukuba azimise njengokumkani eSumer.

 

Esona sizathu siphambili sokuba le ntsomi imalunga noSargon kukuba wakwazi ukumanyanisa zonke iidolophu zaseSumer ezahluleleneyo. Oku kwantlukwano kuko okubangele ukuba ezi zixeko ziqhubeke zivukelana kwaye kwaphazamisa indlela yazo yokurhweba. Kwakukho iilwimi ezininzi, kodwa uSargon wasebenzisa zonke iindlela ukuze aqinisekise ukuba isiAkkadia soyisa ngaphezu kwazo zonke ezinye yaye saba sesona sixhobo siphambili sonxibelelwano eSumer.

Amagala, awayengababingeleli nababingelelikazi besithixokazi uIshtar, aguqukela ekubeni ngabafundi bakaYesu. UTashlultum, umfazi kaSargon, wayengumfazi owancedisa uSargon ekudaleni ubuKristu ukuze abantu banandiphe amalungelo abo kuKristu.

Ukubalasela kukaSargon kwaqalisa xa isikhundla somngcamli wokumkani waseKishe sabhengezwa xa omnye wabahlobo bakhe ababezingela wayekho ebhotwe. Wacela uKumkani u-Ur-Zababa egameni likaSargon, owayekunye noAki, indoda eyamkhulisa njengonyana wakhe xa unina wamshiyayo. Xa uSargon wasiwa phambi kokumkani, wamthanda njengomcebisi wakhe waza wamnika umsebenzi wokuba ngumphathi womkhosi wakhe.

 

Usapho lwakhe lwakhululwa kulo lonke elaseSumer. Noko ke, xa uSargon wafumana umbono ongaphezu kowemvelo kuYesu waza waxelelwa ngobungangamsha obumlindeleyo ebukumkanini bukaKishe, wakhathazeka emoyeni wakhe waza wafuna ingcaciso kuyise. Uyise wamyalela ukuba adibane nombingeleli e-Elam, ngasempuma yeSumere. Ukutyelela kwakhe uElam kwaphumela ekubeni avalelwe ngenxa yokungaqondi kakuhle.

 

Ekukhululweni kwakhe, ukumkani waseKishe, u-Ur-Zababa, wamvukela waza wazama izihlandlo ezininzi ukuba abulawe. Wandula ke wamthumela kumlawuli waseUruk, emazantsi eKishe, ephethe icwecwe lodongwe elalichazela ukumkani waseUruk, uLugalzagesi, indlela amele ambulale ngayo uSargon. Noko ke, uLugalzagesi wasindisa ubomi bukaSargon. Emva koko wammisela njengenkokeli yamajoni kaUruk, awathi uSargon wayalela ukuba ahlasele uKishe aze abulale iUre-Zababa. Wayengenanjongo yokungena etroneni kaKishe.

 

Wabiza ukumkani kaUruk ukuba eze kuKishe aze athabathe itrone yaseUr-Zababa, kodwa umoya weNkosi wambetha de wavukela uSargon wazama ukumbulala. Uyise kaSargon waphawula ukuba ukumkani wayesilwa noSargon. Wamdubula ngotolo awayelubile kwenye yeeUsher.

Emva koko uKumkani uLugalzagesi wafela kwindawo enye noKumkani u-Ur-Zababa.

Abantu bayibona inkonzo kaSargon baza bamthwesa isithsaba njengokumkani wabo omtsha. Ngenxa yoko, walawula phezu kwe-Uruk neKish. Emva koko walwa waza wayoyisa iElam, isixeko esasimvalele. Emva koko waseka ikomkhulu lakhe eAkkad. Umfazi wakhe uTashlultum waseka izikolo ngenkxaso yegalari awayiguqulayo ukuba ibe ngabafundi, laza igama likaYesu laba sesinye sezona zifundo ziphambili, kwenziwa imisebenzi yentlalontle, kwaza kwasekwa ukhuphiswano phakathi kwezikolo.

Isikhundla somphathi wendebe

KUTHEKANI UKUBA IYERUSALEM Entsha ekucingelwa ukuba yabakho emva komgwebo wokugqibela sele ikho yaye ikho kuYesu? wabuza uAki umfo owakhulisa uSargon, umngcamli wokumkani wakwaKishe. Wamthabatha njengowakhe waza wamkhulisa ngomsebenzi wegadi de waba mdala kunxweme lomlambo umEfrate kwilizwe laseAzupiranu. Nangona wayengumlimi, uSargon wafunda izifundo ezibalulekileyo zokuzingela. Ukubalasela kwakhe kwafaniswa nokaNimrodi, oyena mzingeli unamandla phambi kweNkosi, omandla akhe awonakalisa umgangatho wakhe waza wamenza wavukela phambi koThixo uSomandla. Esabela kwimvukelo yakhe, uluntu lwachithachitheka lwaza lwahlukaniswa omnye komnye ngenxa yokwahlulwa kweelwimi nokwahlukaniswa noThixo.

Ngeso sihlandlo, yena noyise, uAkki, babenxibe iigawuni zasebukhosini eziluhlaza namhlophe. Ngenxa yoko, waphathwa njengokumkani de kwapapashwa isithuba somngcamli. Omnye wabazingeli kunye naye ogama linguLudim wayekho ebhotwe ngexesha lokupapashwa kweso sithuba.

Akuba eyiqondile loo nto, waguqa phambi ko-Ure-Zabha ukumkani waseKishe waza wathi: "Nkosi yam, phila ngonaphakade, kumkani wookumkani. UNimrodi ubawo wethu, ebubini nasekuzingeleni kwakhe, ungamenza umntu osondelelene naye nomngcamli wendebe ukuba umgqala njengomntu onesazela njengoko ufuna, uthobekile kwaye akakhathali kwaye angafela lowo uzinikeleyo amjongileyo. Ukuba ukumkani uthe wathanda ilizwi lam, wothi ke ukuba uyavuma, umthabathe abe ngunyana wakho.

Amadoda awayesebenza kwintendelezo yetempile ayemazi uSargon njengomlimi osisilumko nomlamli onobuchule kungquzulwano lwezorhwebo phakathi kwamaSumer. Ngoko ke, banqwala iintloko zabo xa ubuso bukaUre-Zababa, ukumkani waseKishe wabajonga ukuze eve iimbono zabo.

Wathi yena kuLudim, Ngokwelizwi lakho, ndibizele uSargon, ukuze ndiwamise amagama akhe ngokwelizwi lakho.

ULudim waqubuda phambi kokumkani waza waphakama waza wayishiya itempile kaIshtar, uthixokazi wemfazwe nomnqweno wesini, apho yayikhona itrone yakhe. Ekuphumeni kwakhe kwintendelezo yetempile, waya ngasempuma kweKishe esiya eAzupiranu, kwikhaya likaSargon elunxwemeni lomlambo umEfrate. Apho, wamfumana ehleli kwiholo yendlu kayise, ethetha ngempembelelo ye-Hegemony elawulayo kunye noyise, uAkki.

Wadibana noSargon noAkki etafileni ehleli embindini weholo besela iwayini enxibe igawuni yasebukhosini eluhlaza nebomvu njengoko wayengena eholweni. Weza kubo, wahlala ecaleni kukaSargon. Bamjonga xa ethatha ikomityi ezigalela iwayini ephezu kwetafile. Oku kuyinyaniso nangewayini ababeyisela emva komsebenzi wabo onzima egadini.

Esela, uSargon wabuza, Ngaba uyababulisa abahlobo bakho ngokuthetha nabo nangokusela iwayini yabo ngaphandle kwemvume yabo?

Ndize kuzisa iindaba ezilungileyo kodwa ndifumanise ukuba imilebe yam yomile kangangokuba andakwazi kuthetha. Ndandisazi ukuba iwayini yayiza kupholisa ulwimi lwam kwaye indinike amandla angakumbi okuthetha neNkosi yam noyise. Uphendule watsho.

UAkki wamncumela, esazi ukuba ungomnye wabakhonzi bakakumkani. Wabuza, Ziziphi iindaba ezimnandi oziphathele umhlobo wakho?

"Kwakubhengezwa isigxina somngcamli, kodwa ukumkani uyakholiswa nguSargon ekubeni kuqalisa kwakhe kwakhona kuyamkholisa. Kobu bukumkani, ukumkani ukulungele ukumthabatha kunye nosapho lwakhe kwaye abakhulule. mna ndiya kuhamba nani nobabini, ukuba ndibonakale phambi kokumkani. waphendula uLudim.

Oku kwazisa ithemba ku-Akki kodwa uSargon akazange alindele naluphi na uzuko olunokumziselwa sesi sikhundla.

UAki wajonga kuSargon waza wabuza, Ngaba ukulungele ukuba sisicaka phambi kokumkani?

Ndingathanda ukwazi ukuba uyakuba yintoni na umvuzo wam ngaphambi kokuba ndithathe esi sikhundla, ngaphandle kokuba ukumkani undenza ndijonge indlu yakhe. Uphendule watsho.

"Kuyaqondakala ukuba uyathandabuza nyana wam, kuba awuyazi into yokukhonza enkosini. Inkululeko nobutyebi boba yeyakho xa ulandela lendlela. Abafazi baya kuleqa uzuko nobutyebi bakho kwaye uya kuba nako. Uzuko olungaphezu komlimi, khwelisa unyana wam, ukhonze phambi kokumkani wakho. UAkki wakhuthaza unyana wakhe othandabuzayo.

Siza kuhlangana nini nokumkani? wabuza uSargon.

Ngeli lixa, phambi kokuba ukumkani atshintshe ingqondo yakhe. Ubuthetha ngantoni? Wabuza uLudim.

"Besithetha ngefuthe lobu bukhosi phantsi kolawulo luka-Ur-Zababa, nto leyo ephakamisa iinkxalabo ezininzi. Ndihlala ndibuza umbuzo koogxa bethu abaqhubela abantu kuThixo ngokusebenzisa amaqhinga okoyikisa. Eneneni, ukuba ubukumkani bukaThixo buyakwazi ukuba semntwini, yintoni eyenza kube nzima ngobukumkani bomntu ukuba kuye uThixo? Waphendula uAkki.

"Ubonakala ungumtshutshisi kunyana wakho. Kuyavakala ukuba kutheni eqinile njengoNimrodi. Nangona kusekuninzi ekufuneka kwenziwe, ndikholelwa ukuba isithuba sinokuba yiplani yokunyuka kolawulo olutsha olunamandla phantsi komyalelo ka-. Masingalibazisi ukuthabatha esi sikhundla size sibone ukuba kuya kwenzeka ntoni na. waphendula uLudim.

Baphuma endlwini baza babophela amahashe abo. Akuba egqibile, amatsha ukuya kwibhotwe laseUr-Zababa otrone yakhe ikwitempile kaIshtar. USargon ekhwele emva kweLudim elandelwa nguAkki ngamakrele ezinqeni zabo. Ekufikeni kwawo etempileni kaIshtar, aziswa kukumkani aza aqubuda etroneni yakhe. USargon wajongwa ngentlonelo ngukumkani. Wathi ukumkani kuye, USargon ngunyana wam ngoku. UAki uya kuba ngumzukulwana wakhe. Bobabini baya kukhonza etempileni njengabasebukhosini, yaye umvuzo wabo uya kuba ngowerhuluneli. Khangela phezulu ukuze ndisasaze iphiko lam lothando phezu kwakho.

Ngenene, bajonga ukumkani ngamehlo kwaye balubona uncumo lwakhe. Emva koko wambiza ukuba eze kuye. USargon wenyuka izinyuko waya etroneni yokumkani, waqubuda kuye.

U-Ur-Zababa, wamwola kwaye wamphuza ebunzini wathi, Ungummeli wam ngoku. Ubabalwe ndim. Ungaqalisa ubulungiseleli bakho ngale yure. Nceda uphawule kum ukuba unayo nayiphi na ingxaki.

USargon wancuma ngelixa eguqe phambi kwe-Ur-Zababa kwaye wathi, "Andinangxaki. Andina comment. Ndinomphelelisi wam njengoko ndikholekile koothixo. USargon waphendula.

U-Ur-Zababa wammisa ngeenyawo naye wema ngeenyawo. Wabiza abakhonzi bakhe entendelezweni yetempile, wathi, Ndiziseleni ijikazi legolide, ukuze ndinxibelelane nomphathi wam; zisani kum ingubo yobukumkani ezuba namhlophe.

Yaziswa ke, ukumkani wamambesa uSargon ingubo yasebukhosini, wamfaka umsesane ebukumkanini bukaKishe. UAkki wavuya gqitha akubona unyana wakhe egcobe ngolo hlobo. Ngaloo ndlela, uSargon waba ngumphathi wabo bonke ubukumkani bukaKishe phantsi kwephiko likaKumkani u-Ur-Zababa.

Wathabatha abakhonzi baseUre-Zabha wahamba naye, wabuhlola ummandla waseKishe. UAkki wabukela emva kwakhe kunye noLudim. Umsebenzi wakhe wokulima egadini waphela ngenxa yokuxakeka kwakhe eKish, kodwa waqhubeka nokuzingela kunye neenkosana ezimthanda njengomzalwana wabo wegazi. Umsebenzi wakhe wokuba ngumngcamli wawuxabiseke ngaphezu kwawo nawuphi na umsebenzi.

Utyelelo lobuthixo

YAYIYINJONGO KASARGON ukunyukela kwitrone kaUre-Zababa aze azimise njengokumkani onguSomandla kaKishe. Uyise wahlala engumcebisi wakhe noyena mhlobo usenyongweni kakumkani. Udumo lukaSargon lwada lwaya kufikelela nakumda waseSumere, yaye yena wadunyiswa njengonyana kaNimrodi. Maxa wambi kwakuchaphazela ukongama kokumkani, kuxhomekeka kwindlela abantu ababemdumisa ngayo.

Wanikela kuSargon lonke iphulo lomkhosi elijolise ekufumaneni uzuko loMbindi woMhlaba, ngenxa yokumthanda kwakhe. Ngokwahlukileyo koko, ukumkani wasemazantsi eSumer kwilizwe laseUruk wayesele edibanise eyona nxalenye ibalulekileyo yommandla waseSumer. Oku kwaba sisongelo esiqatha kukumkani u-Ur-Zababa. KwanoSargon akazange aphumelele kungquzulwano nokumkani waseLugalzagesi waseUruk.

USargon wabizwa ngu-Ur-Zababa ukuze abonisane malunga nempumelelo yasemkhosini neLugalzagesi, kodwa akazange avume ukuya kukumkani ekubeni imisebenzi yakhe yayimthintela ukuba angafikeleli kuye rhoqo.

Kubusuku bangaphambi kokuvela kwakhe kukumkani, watyelelwa nguThixo laza elo phupha lamqinisekisa ukuba makabhukuqe iUr-Zababa.

Esazulwini samazulu nomhlaba, phakathi kommandla ogutyungelwe likhephu neqela leentshaba phantsi kwakhe, wabona indoda yobuntu bakhe. Engqondweni yakhe, le ndoda yayibonakala inguyise omzalayo, awayengamazi. Wambona emi phezu kwelifu, ejikelezwe zizikhanyiso eziphuma entliziyweni yakhe. Kanye njengokuba kwakunjalo ekuqaleni kwendalo, ubumnyama bagubungela kanye kwelo lifu wayemi kulo. Ekuqaleni kwendalo, ubumnyama baphuma kude, bada batshabalala. Isinxibo sakhe sasimhlophe njengekhephu, sigqume ubungangamsha besuti yakhe yokuzalwa.

Emva koko waziva ekhala kuye ngokuvakalayo esithi, "Bawo! Bawo! Olu zuko lukhanya ngawe ndilulangazelela! Kungethuba lethunzi elimnyama, elizalise indalo iphela, ndiyakubongoza. Owu Nkosi yam! Yambathisa! ndisebuqaqawulini bakho.

Ngokungathi kungomlingo, ukukhanya okuqaqambileyo kwaqalisa ukuqaqamba entliziyweni yakhe, kuqaqambe ngakumbi kunozuko olwalunxitywe yindoda awayeyiyo.

Wazibona ephakanyiswa efini ngengoma enkulu, weva ilizwi lisithi, "Makukhanye nakuSargon unyana wam, kuba nguye onamandla okumisa ukukhanya ngaphakathi kweentliziyo woyizisa kubo bonke abakweli zwe, ukuba anibuyisele kum.

Uya kuzilungiselela iintliziyo zoluntu ukuba ndiphumle phakathi kwabo. Uza kukhokelela kum amadoda nabafazi kuba bayandidinga. Uya kubanxiba inkululeko abayishumayelayo, esezandleni zoothixo noothixokazi. Abantu babezigxothile kum kwaye abasalibizi igama likaThixo uSomandla. Babiza egameni loothixo noothixokazi abathi babanga ubungangamsha bezulu, okuyindalo yam. Akunakwenzeka ukuba ufumane inkululeko njengoko uhlakazekile kwaye wahlulwe kum. Kuphela kusegameni lelizwi lakhe abaya kufumana inkululeko baze banandiphe amalungelo abawalwelayo."

NdinguSargon. Ngaba kukho nawuphi na omnye uSargon ongumngcamli wokumkani wakwaKishe ngaphandle kwam? Ngubani lo Sargon ubhekisa kuye? wabuza uSargon.

Kwathi cwaka waza uSargon wabheka-bheka ukuze abone ukuba ngubani othethileyo. Wayengenako ukuqonda nawuphi na omnye umoya ngaphandle kwalowo wothixokazi wakhe, uIshtar. Waqalisa ukuzibuza ukuba 'kwenzeka ntoni? Kwenzeka ntoni kum ebusuku? wazibuza.

Wabuya wadanduluka kwakhona, ebuza esithi, Ungubani na, ungubani na lo Sargon uthetha ngaye? ndingubani?"

Kuke kwathi cwaka ixeshana, ebengekho umntu ophethe isazisi. Ngobuntu bakhe bangaphakathi, wakubona ukukhanya. Emva koko, wabheka-bheka waza wazibona engaphakathi kwesixeko esibengezela ngokuqaqambileyo njengelitye leyaspisi 'elona litye lihle'. Kwanjengokuba ummandla wonke wezitrato zomzi waguquka waba yigolide, nelifu eliphantsi kweenyawo zakhe laba yigolide.

Isixeko sasiqaqambile njengekristale, sizukile njengoko sasinjalo. Kwakhiwe udonga olujikelezileyo, lunamasango alishumi elinambini, nabalindi abalishumi elinababini esangweni ngalinye, kukho ingelosi kwisango ngalinye.

Wajonga ngasempumalanga kuwo umzi, kwisango lokuqala, wabona igama likaRubhen, nantso indoda eyayiqhelene naye kakhulu. Nangona kunjalo, wayenguye. Uthe esemjonge, lafika kuye ilizwi, lisithi, Lo nguSargon lo bendithetha ngaye. Emva kwakhe kwakukho inkitha yemiphefumlo ijonge kuye ilindele kwaye icela uzuko lwelizwe. Wafikelwa luloyiko xa ezibona ekuzuko oluqaqambileyo kangangokuba umoya wakhe wanyibilika emanzini.

Ethe khunubembe, waqalisa ukuthetha ngaphakathi kwakhe, esithi, Ndingulo Sargon axelayo uThixo; Isiphithiphithi? Mhlawumbi nguIshtar ekolunye uhlobo lwesithixo."

Noko ke, akuzange kwenzeke nto. Wathi xa ejonga kwisango lesibini, wabona igama likaSimeyon kwaza kwavela umntu amqhelileyo emoyeni wakhe. Amawaka abantu ahlanganisana emva kwakhe, ekhangele kuye ngolindelo yaye ethandazela uzuko lwesi sixeko. Wanikina intloko emangalisiwe.

Wandula ke waphethulela ingqalelo yakhe kwisango lesithathu waza wabona igama likaLevi. Kwavela ubuso bendoda efana no-Akki, uyise. Ke kaloku, akubon’ ukuba uyathetha, abantu abaninzi bekhangele kuye, benolindelo, bekhunga, ukuze kuzukiswe lo mzi. Ngelo xesha, umoya wakhe wawuzaliswe luvuyo, yaye waqalisa ukukhumbula ixesha lakhe langaphambili, kwanemvelaphi yentsapho yakhe.

Kwavakala ilizwi lisithi, "Vuya ngokuba yintsapho yakho le. Indoda nguMthetheli-mkhosi
