Deuteronomy 26
1 And it shall be, when thou [art] come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;
Kuzakuthi-ke lapho usufikile elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona libe yilifa, udle ilifa lalo, uhlale kulo,
2 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put [it] in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.
uthathe okokuqala kwezithelo zonke zomhlabathi ozakuletha kuvela elizweni lakho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona, ukufake esitsheni, uye endaweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ezayikhetha ukuhlalisa ibizo layo khona.
3 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us.
Uzakuya kumpristi ozakuba ekhona ngalezonsuku uthi kuye: Ngiyabika lamuhla eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho ukuthi sengifikile elizweni iNkosi eyalifungela obaba ukusinika lona.
4 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.
Njalo umpristi uzathatha isitsha esandleni sakho, asibeke phambi kwelathi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.
5 And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish [was] my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:
Khona uzaphendula uthi phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho: Ubaba wayengumSiriya obhubhayo, wehlela eGibhithe, wahlala khona njengowezizwe labantu abalutshwana; kodwa lapho waba yisizwe esikhulu esilamandla lesilabanengi.
6 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:
Kodwa amaGibhithe asiphatha kubi, asihlupha, asethwesa ubugqili obunzima.
7 And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:
Sasesikhala eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabobaba; iNkosi yalizwa ilizwi lethu, yabona inhlupheko yethu, lokutshikatshika kwethu, locindezelo lwethu;
8 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:
iNkosi yasikhupha eGibhithe ngesandla esilamandla langengalo eyeluliweyo, langokwesabeka okukhulu, langezibonakaliso, langezimangaliso;
9 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, [even] a land that floweth with milk and honey.
yasiletha kulindawo, yasinika lelilizwe, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju.
10 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:
Khathesi-ke, khangela, ngilethile ukuqala kwezithelo zomhlabathi, Nkosi, onginike khona. Njalo uzakubeka phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ukhonze phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho;
11 And thou shalt rejoice in every good [thing] which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that [is] among you.
uthokoze ngakho konke okuhle iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunike khona labendlu yakho, wena lomLevi lowemzini ophakathi kwakho.
12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, [which is] the year of tithing, and hast given [it] unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;
Lapho usuqedile ukunika okwetshumi, konke okwetshumi kwezithelo zakho ngomnyaka wesithathu, umnyaka wokunika okwetshumi, usukunike umLevi, owemzini, intandane lomfelokazi ukuze badle phakathi kwamasango akho basuthe,
13 Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of [mine] house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten [them: ]
uzakuthi phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho: Sengikhuphile endlini yami into engcwele, lami njalo ngakunika umLevi, lowemzini, intandane, lomfelokazi, njengayo yonke imilayo yakho ongilaye yona; kangeqanga okwemilayo yakho, futhi kangiyikhohlwanga.
14 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away [ought] thereof for [any] unclean [use], nor given [ought] thereof for the dead: [but] I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, [and] have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
Kangidlanga kukho ekulileni kwami, kangisuselanga kukho ukungcola, kangikunikelanga okwakho kofileyo; ngililalele ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wami, ngenzile njengakho konke ongilaye khona.
15 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
Khangela phansi usendaweni yakho yokuhlala engcwele usemazulwini, ubusise abantu bakho uIsrayeli lomhlaba osinike wona, njengokufunga kwakho kubobaba, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju.
16 This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
Lamuhla iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho iyakulaya ukuthi wenze lezizimiso lezahlulelo; ngakho uzazigcina uzenze ngenhliziyo yakho yonke langomphefumulo wakho wonke.
17 Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
Lamuhla uvumile obala ukuthi iNkosi inguNkulunkulu wakho, lokuthi uzahamba endleleni zayo, ugcine izimiso zayo lemilayo yayo lezahlulelo zayo, ulalele ilizwi layo.
18 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that [thou] shouldest keep all his commandments;
Futhi iNkosi ivumile obala lamuhla ukuthi uzakuba yisizwe sayo esikhethekileyo njengokukuthembisa kwayo, lokuthi ugcine yonke imilayo yayo,
19 And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
ukuze ikuphakamise phezu kwezizwe zonke ezenzileyo, ekubongweni, lebizweni, lenhlonipheni, lokuthi ube yisizwe esingcwele eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho njengokutsho kwayo.
