UDutheronomi 18
1 Abapristi, amaLevi, isizwe sonke sakoLevi, kasiyikuba lesabelo lelifa kanye loIsrayeli; bazakudla iminikelo yeNkosi eyenziwe ngomlilo, lelifa layo.
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.
2 Ngakho kabayikuba lelifa phakathi kwabafowabo; iNkosi iyilifa labo, njengokukhuluma kwayo kibo.
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.
3 Lalokhu kuzakuba lilungelo labapristi elivela ebantwini, kulabo abahlaba umhlatshelo, loba inkabi loba imvu; njalo bazanika umpristi umkhono lemihlathi yomibili lolusu.
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.
4 Okokuqala kwamabele akho, yewayini lakho elitsha, leyamafutha akho, lengqabutho yoboya bezimvu zakho, uzamupha yona.
Hagi ese'ma hamaresaza witio, wainio, olivi masaveno, ese'ma haresaza sipisipi azokara pristi vahe erita eme zamigahaze.
5 Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho imkhethile kuzo zonke izizwe zakho, ukuthi eme akhonze ebizweni leNkosi, yena lamadodana akhe, zonke izinsuku.
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.
6 Uba-ke umLevi esiza evela loba kukuliphi lamasango akho kuIsrayeli wonke lapho ahlala khona njengowezizwe, eze ngesifiso sonke somphefumulo wakhe endaweni iNkosi ezayikhetha,
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,
7 khona ezakhonza ebizweni leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe njengabo bonke abafowabo amaLevi, emiyo khona phambi kweNkosi.
ruga'a Livae afuhe'zama nehazaza huno Ra Anumzana Anumzama'amofo avuga Agri eri'zana erigahie.
8 Azakudla izabelo ezilinganayo, ngaphandle kwezinto zakhe ezathengiswayo zaboyise.
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.
9 Lapho usufikile elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona, ungafundi ukwenza ngokwezinengiso zalezozizwe.
Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma neramamia mopafima vanutma, ana mopafi vahetmimo'zama kasrino hi'mnama vu'nea avu'ava zama nehaza avu'avara ovaririho.
10 Kakuyikutholakala phakathi kwakho owenza indodana yakhe lendodakazi yakhe idabule emlilweni, owenza ukuvumisa, ochasisa ngemibono, lowenza imilingo, lomthakathi,
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,
11 lophosayo, lolamadlozi, lolumbayo, lobuza kwabafileyo.
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.
12 Ngoba wonke owenza lezizinto uyisinengiso eNkosini. Langenxa yalezizinengiso iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho iyabaxotsha elifeni phambi kwakho.
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.
13 Uzakuba ngopheleleyo eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho.
Hianagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo avurera e'inahu avu'ava'zana osuta, agru huta maniho.
14 Ngoba izizwe lezi, ozakudla ilifa lazo, zalalela abachasisa ngemibono labavumisi; kodwa wena, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho kayikuvumelanga okunjalo.
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.
15 INkosi uNkulunkulu wakho izakuvusela uMprofethi ophuma phakathi kwakho kubafowenu onjengami; yena limlalele.
Hagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a tamagri amu'nompinti mago nagri kna kasnampa ne' azeri otigahianki, ke'a antahiho. (Aposolo 3:22, 7:37)
16 Njengakho konke owakucelayo eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho eHorebe ngosuku lokuhlangana, usithi: Kangingaphindi ngilizwe ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wami, ngingabe ngisawubona lumlilo omkhulu, ukuze ngingafi.
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.
17 INkosi yasisithi kimi: Benze kuhle kwabakukhulumileyo.
Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, zamagra tamage nehaze.
18 Ngizabavusela uMprofethi ophuma phakathi kwabafowabo onjengawe; ngizabeka amazwi ami emlonyeni wakhe, njalo akhulume kibo konke engizamlaya khona.
Hagi zamagripinti mago kagri kna kasnampa ne, Nagra azeri oti'na naneke'ni'a huo hu'nama hanua nanekege huama huno tamasamigahie.
19 Kuzakuthi-ke loba ngubani ongayikulalela amazwi ami azawakhuluma ebizweni lami, ngizakubuza kuye.
Ana'ma asami'nua nanekema nehinama mago vahe'mo'ma ke'ama ontahina, Nagra e'i ana vahera kegahue.
20 Kodwa umprofethi oziqhenya ekhuluma ilizwi ebizweni lami engingamlayanga ukulikhuluma, loba ekhuluma ebizweni labanye onkulunkulu, lowomprofethi uzakufa.
Hianagi iza'o Nagri nagifi havige kasanampa vahe fore huge, havi anumzantmimofo agifi kasnampa vahe'ma fore'ma hania vahera zamahe friho.
21 Njalo uba usithi enhliziyweni yakho: Sizakwazi njani ilizwi iNkosi engalikhulumanga?
Hagi antahintahi tmifima tamagra anage hutma antahigahaze, inankna huta, e'i Anumzamofo kasnampa vaheki, havige kasanampa vaheki huta antahigahune?
22 Lapho umprofethi ekhuluma ebizweni leNkosi, uba leyonto ingenzeki kumbe ingafiki, lelo yilizwi iNkosi engalikhulumanga; umprofethi ulikhulume ngokuziqhenya; ungamesabi.
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.
