UDuteronomi 17

¹ “Awuyikuhlabela uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho inkomo noma imvu enesici noma enesifo; ngoba kuyisinengiso kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.

² Uma kufunyanwa phakathi kwakho kwelinye lamasango akho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika wona, owesilisa noma owesifazane, owenze okubi emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngokwephula isivumelwano sakhe,

³ Wahamba wakhonza abanye onkulunkulu, wabakhothamela, ilanga nenyanga noma ibutho lasezulwini engingazange ngibayale ngakho;

⁴ Kwatshelwa, wakuzwa, wabuzisisa, bheka, kuyiqiniso, nendaba iqinisekile ukuthi isinengiso esinjalo senziwa kwa-Israyeli.

⁵ Uyakumkhiphela phandle leyo ndoda noma lowo wesifazane owenze lokho okubi emasangweni akho, leyo ndoda noma lowo wesifazane, umkhande ngamatshe, baze bafe.

⁶ Ngomlomo wawofakazi ababili noma kofakazi abathathu, lowo ofanele ukufa makabulawe; kodwa ngomlomo wofakazi oyedwa kayikubulawa.

⁷ Izandla zabafakazi kumelwe zibe phezu kwakhe kuqala ukuze ambulale, bese kuba izandla zabo bonke abantu. Ngakho kufanele ususe ububi ngaphansi kwakho.

Izinqumo zenkantolo

⁸ Uma kuphakama icala kini elinzima kakhulu enkantolo, phakathi kwegazi negazi, naphakathi kokunxusa nokunxusa, naphakathi kokushaywa nokushaywa, okuyindaba yombango phakathi kwamasango enu; khona-ke uyakusukuma, ukhuphukele endaweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ayakuyikhetha;

⁹ Kumelwe uye kubapristi abangamaLevi nomahluleli oyoba khona ngalezo zinsuku futhi ubuze; futhi bayonibonisa isigwebo sokwahlulela.

¹⁰ Kumelwe wenze ngokuvumelana nesigwebo abayoninikeza sona endaweni uJehova ayoyikhetha; futhi kumelwe wenze ngokucophelela ngokuvumelana nakho konke abakutshela khona.

¹¹ Njengomthetho abayakunifundisa wona, nanjengesahlulelo abayakukutshela sona, nikwenze;

¹² Umuntu ofuna ukwenza ngokugabadela futhi angamlaleli umpristi omi lapho ukukhonza phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho noma umahluleli, lowo muntu kufanele afe; futhi kumelwe ususe ububi kwa-Israyeli.

¹³ Bonke abantu bayokuzwa, besabe, bangabe besagabadela.

¹⁴ Uma ungena ezweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona, ulidle, uhlale kulo, uthi: ‘Ngiyakumisa inkosi phezu kwami njengezizwe zonke ezingihaqileyo;

¹⁵ Kumelwe ummise abe yinkosi phezu kwakho kukho konke uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ayakumkhetha; omunye wabafowenu kumelwe umise inkosi phezu kwakho; awuyikumisa phezu kwakho umfokazi ongesiye umfowenu.

¹⁶ Kodwa akumelwe azandisele amahhashi futhi angavumeli abantu babuyele eGibhithe ukuze andise amahhashi;

¹⁷ Futhi makangazandiseli abafazi, funa inhliziyo yakhe iphambuke; futhi ngeke azandisele kakhulu isiliva negolide.

¹⁸ Kuyakuthi lapho ehlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso wakhe, uyakuzilobela ikhophi yalo mthetho encwadini ephuma kuleyo ephambi kwabapristi bamaLevi.

¹⁹ Kumelwe ibe kuye, futhi kumelwe ayifunde zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwakhe, ukuze afunde ukumesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe nokugcina wonke amazwi alo mthetho nalezi zimiso ukuba awenze.

²⁰ Ukuze inhliziyo yakhe ingaziphakamisi phezu kwabafowabo, angaphambuki emyalweni wakhe, ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo, ukuze andise izinsuku zakhe embusweni wakhe, yena nabantwana bakhe phakathi kuka-Israyeli.
