1 Hagi maka Israeli ma mopama erisantimaharesafintira Livae pristi naga'mo'za mago mopa erisanti oharegahaze. Hagi tamagrama Ra Anumzamofonte'ma ofama eritama esaza ne'za nene'za manigahaze.
Abapristi, amaLevi, isizwe sonke sakoLevi, kasiyikuba lesabelo lelifa kanye loIsrayeli; bazakudla iminikelo yeNkosi eyenziwe ngomlilo, lelifa layo.
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.
Ngakho kabayikuba lelifa phakathi kwabafowabo; iNkosi iyilifa labo, njengokukhuluma kwayo kibo.
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.
Lalokhu kuzakuba lilungelo labapristi elivela ebantwini, kulabo abahlaba umhlatshelo, loba inkabi loba imvu; njalo bazanika umpristi umkhono lemihlathi yomibili lolusu.
4 Hagi ese'ma hamaresaza witio, wainio, olivi masaveno, ese'ma haresaza sipisipi azokara pristi vahe erita eme zamigahaze.
Okokuqala kwamabele akho, yewayini lakho elitsha, leyamafutha akho, lengqabutho yoboya bezimvu zakho, uzamupha yona.
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 iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho imkhethile kuzo zonke izizwe zakho, ukuthi eme akhonze ebizweni leNkosi, yena lamadodana akhe, zonke izinsuku.
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,
Uba-ke umLevi esiza evela loba kukuliphi lamasango akho kuIsrayeli wonke lapho ahlala khona njengowezizwe, eze ngesifiso sonke somphefumulo wakhe endaweni iNkosi ezayikhetha,
7 ruga'a Livae afuhe'zama nehazaza huno Ra Anumzana Anumzama'amofo avuga Agri eri'zana erigahie.
khona ezakhonza ebizweni leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe njengabo bonke abafowabo amaLevi, emiyo khona phambi kweNkosi.
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.
Azakudla izabelo ezilinganayo, ngaphandle kwezinto zakhe ezathengiswayo zaboyise.
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 usufikile elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona, ungafundi ukwenza ngokwezinengiso zalezozizwe.
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,
Kakuyikutholakala phakathi kwakho owenza indodana yakhe lendodakazi yakhe idabule emlilweni, owenza ukuvumisa, ochasisa ngemibono, lowenza imilingo, lomthakathi,
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.
lophosayo, lolamadlozi, lolumbayo, lobuza 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.
Ngoba wonke owenza lezizinto uyisinengiso eNkosini. Langenxa yalezizinengiso iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho iyabaxotsha elifeni phambi kwakho.
13 Hianagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo avurera e'inahu avu'ava'zana osuta, agru huta maniho.
Uzakuba ngopheleleyo eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho.
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.
Ngoba izizwe lezi, ozakudla ilifa lazo, zalalela abachasisa ngemibono labavumisi; kodwa wena, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho kayikuvumelanga okunjalo.
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)
INkosi uNkulunkulu wakho izakuvusela uMprofethi ophuma phakathi kwakho kubafowenu onjengami; yena limlalele.
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.
Njengakho konke owakucelayo eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho eHorebe ngosuku lokuhlangana, usithi: Kangingaphindi ngilizwe ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wami, ngingabe ngisawubona lumlilo omkhulu, ukuze ngingafi.
17 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, zamagra tamage nehaze.
INkosi yasisithi kimi: Benze kuhle kwabakukhulumileyo.
18 Hagi zamagripinti mago kagri kna kasnampa ne, Nagra azeri oti'na naneke'ni'a huo hu'nama hanua nanekege huama huno tamasamigahie.
Ngizabavusela uMprofethi ophuma phakathi kwabafowabo onjengawe; ngizabeka amazwi ami emlonyeni wakhe, njalo akhulume kibo konke engizamlaya khona.
19 Ana'ma asami'nua nanekema nehinama mago vahe'mo'ma ke'ama ontahina, Nagra e'i ana vahera kegahue.
Kuzakuthi-ke loba ngubani ongayikulalela amazwi ami azawakhuluma ebizweni lami, ngizakubuza kuye.
20 Hianagi iza'o Nagri nagifi havige kasanampa vahe fore huge, havi anumzantmimofo agifi kasnampa vahe'ma fore'ma hania vahera zamahe friho.
Kodwa umprofethi oziqhenya ekhuluma ilizwi ebizweni lami engingamlayanga ukulikhuluma, loba ekhuluma ebizweni labanye onkulunkulu, lowomprofethi uzakufa.
21 Hagi antahintahi tmifima tamagra anage hutma antahigahaze, inankna huta, e'i Anumzamofo kasnampa vaheki, havige kasanampa vaheki huta antahigahune?
Njalo uba usithi enhliziyweni yakho: Sizakwazi njani ilizwi iNkosi engalikhulumanga?
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.
Lapho umprofethi ekhuluma ebizweni leNkosi, uba leyonto ingenzeki kumbe ingafiki, lelo yilizwi iNkosi engalikhulumanga; umprofethi ulikhulume ngokuziqhenya; ungamesabi.
