“Abaphristi abangabaLevi ngempela, isizwana sonke sabaLevi kabangabi lesabelo loba ilifa ndawonye labako-Israyeli. Bazaphila ngemihlatshelo yokudla enikelwa kuThixo, ngoba leli yilo ilifa labo.
2 Hagi zamafuhe'zama mopama eri santima haresafintira zamagra mopa e'origahaze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma huhampri zmante'nea kante zamagra Agri pristi eri'za vahe mani'nenageno, Agra'a kegava huzamantegahie.
Abayikuba lelifa phakathi kwabafowabo; uThixo uyilifa labo, njengokuthembisa kwakhe.
3 Hagi amanahu hutma pristi vahera ne'zana zamigahaze. Bulimakao afuro, sipisipi afu'ma ahetma kresramna vanuta, azona'ane, tarega ameragema'ane agupa'anena pristi vahe zamigahaze.
Le yiyo ingxenye yabaphristi ezavela emihlatshelweni yabantu eyenkunzi loba eyemvu: umkhono, inhloko kanye lezangaphakathi.
4 Hagi ese'ma hamaresaza witio, wainio, olivi masaveno, ese'ma haresaza sipisipi azokara pristi vahe erita eme zamigahaze.
Kufanele libaphe izithelo zakuqala zamabele enu, iwayini elitsha lamafutha, uboya bakuqala ekugundweni kwezimvu zenu,
5 Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a tamagripintira Livae naga'nofi'mofo huhampri zmante'neanki'za, maka knafina oti'za Agri eri'zana eri vava hu'za vugahaze.
ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ubakhethile bona kanye lezizukulwane zabo phakathi kwazo zonke izizwana zenu ukuze kube yibo abazakwenza umsebenzi wokukhonza ebizweni likaThixo ngezikhathi zonke.
6 Hagi Israeli agu'afima ina kumapima Livae ne'mo'ma mani'nesia kuma'ma atreno agra avesite'ma Ra Anumzamo'ma mono hunanteho huno'ma hu'nenia kumatera amne umani'neno,
Nxa umLevi angasuka kwelinye lamadolobho enu loba kungaphi kwelabako-Israyeli lapho abehlala khona, abeseziletha ngokuzimisela endaweni ezakhethwa nguThixo,
7 ruga'a Livae afuhe'zama nehazaza huno Ra Anumzana Anumzama'amofo avuga Agri eri'zana erigahie.
angenza umsebenzi wokukhonza ebizweni likaThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe njengabo bonke abafowabo abangabaLevi abasebenzela khonapho phambi kukaThixo.
8 Hagi nefa fenozama zagore'ma atreno erinia zagoa eri'ne'nianagi, ofama hanaza ne'zana ruga'a pristi vahe'enena mago avamente refko huno erigahie.
Uzakwabelana labanye bakhe ngokulinganayo kulokho abakuzuzayo, lanxa yena esezuze imali ekuthengisweni kwempahla yakwabo.”
9 Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma neramamia mopafima vanutma, ana mopafi vahetmimo'zama kasrino hi'mnama vu'nea avu'ava zama nehaza avu'avara ovaririho.
“Lapho selingena elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona, lingabozifundisa ukulingisa izenzo ezinengekayo zezinye izizwe khonale.
10 Hagi amu'nontmifintira magomo'e huno ne'afi, mofa'a aheno ofagna huno kresramna ovino. Havi kasnampa kema hu'zampi, avu'ataga zampi, zagoma re'zampi, fri vahe'ene keagama hu'zane,
Akungabi lamuntu phakathi kwenu ozakwenza umhlatshelo ngendodana yakhe loba indodakazi yakhe ngomlilo, kangabi ovumisayo loba ochasisa ngemibono, ochasisa imilingo njalo oyenza okuphathelane lobuthakathi,
11 mago'a zampima huvazino kaguvaza fore hugahiema huno'ma hu'zampi, fri vahe hankro'enema keaga hu'zampi, havi avamu'eneno, ko vahe'enena keaga osutfa hiho.
ophosayo, loba isanuse loba isangoma loba obuza kwabafileyo.
12 Iza'o ana avu'ava'zama hanimo'a Ra Anumzamofontera kasrino hi'mnage avu'ava hugahie. Na'ankure e'ina hi'mnage avu'ava zanku, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a ana mopafi vahera zamahenati atregahie.
Loba ngubani owenza lezizinto uyisinengiso kuThixo, kanti njalo ngenxa yezenzo lezi ezinengekayo uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu azazixotsha phambi kwenu lezizizwe.
13 Hianagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo avurera e'inahu avu'ava'zana osuta, agru huta maniho.
Kumele libemsulwa phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.”
14 Na'ankure anama omeri'naza mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za, zamagra havi avamu'ene nanekea nehu'za, havi kasnampa vahe'mokizmi ke nentahiza vahe mani'naze. Hianagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a e'inahura osiho hu'ne.
“Izizwe elizazithathela ilizwe zilalela okwalabo abathakathayo labavumisayo. Kodwa lina, uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu kalivumeli ukukwenza lokho.
15 Hagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a tamagri amu'nompinti mago nagri kna kasnampa ne' azeri otigahianki, ke'a antahiho. (Aposolo 3:22, 7:37)
UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzalivusela umphrofethi phakathi kwabafowenu njengami. Libomlalela.
16 Na'ankure Sainai agonamofo agafima ome atruma haza zupa Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofonkura amanage hu'naze, tagra fri'nunki kagerura ru'enena nontahita, mago'anena teve anefaka'a onke'nune huta hu'naze.
Lokhu yikho elakucela kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu eHorebhi mhla wosuku lokuhlangana lapho elathi, ‘Asingalizwa ilizwi likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu njalo singaboni umlilo omkhulu futhi, ngoba singafa.’
17 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, zamagra tamage nehaze.
UThixo wathi kimi: ‘Lokho abakutshoyo kuhle.
18 Hagi zamagripinti mago kagri kna kasnampa ne, Nagra azeri oti'na naneke'ni'a huo hu'nama hanua nanekege huama huno tamasamigahie.
Ngizabavezela umphrofethi onjengawe phakathi kwabafowabo; ngizamfunza amazwi ami, yena nguye ozabatshela konke engizamlaya ngakho.
19 Ana'ma asami'nua nanekema nehinama mago vahe'mo'ma ke'ama ontahina, Nagra e'i ana vahera kegahue.
Nxa loba ngubani ongayikulalela amazwi ami azakhulunywa ngumphrofethi ngebizo lami, mina ngokwami yimi engizamelana laye.
20 Hianagi iza'o Nagri nagifi havige kasanampa vahe fore huge, havi anumzantmimofo agifi kasnampa vahe'ma fore'ma hania vahera zamahe friho.
Kodwa-ke umphrofethi ozenza okhuluma amazwi ami wona kungesiwo engimlaye ngawo ukuba awatsho, loba umphrofethi okhuluma ngebizo labanye onkulunkulu, kumele abulawe.’
21 Hagi antahintahi tmifima tamagra anage hutma antahigahaze, inankna huta, e'i Anumzamofo kasnampa vaheki, havige kasanampa vaheki huta antahigahune?
Lingazitshela lokhu lithi, ‘Singakwazi njani ukuthi lelilizwi kaliveli kuThixo na?’
22 Mago kasnampa ne'mo'ma mago'za fore hugahie huno hinkeno, ana zama fore'ma osina, e'i nanekea Anumzamo'a osu'neanki kasnampa ne'mo'a agra agesafinti kea hugahianki, korora osiho.
Nxa lokho okumenyezelwa ngumphrofethi ngebizo likaThixo kungenzakali loba kungagcwaliseki, lokho kuyilizwi eliyabe lingaveli kuThixo. Lowo mphrofethi uyabe ekhuluma ize. Lingamesabi.”
