UDuteronomi 18 Ilungelo lompristi

¹ Abapristi bamaLevi nesizwe sonke sakwaLevi bangabi nasabelo nafa kanye no-Israyeli; bangadla iminikelo yomlilo kaJehova nefa lakhe.

² Ngakho abayikuba nafa phakathi kwabafowabo; uJehova uyifa labo, njengokusho kwakhe kubo.

³ Kuyakuba yicala labapristi kubantu abanikela ngomhlatshelo, noma inkomo noma imvu; banike umpristi umkhono, nezihlathi zombili, nesihlathi.

⁴ Ulibo lukakolweni wakho, nolwewayini lakho, nolwamafutha akho, nolibo loboya bezimvu zakho, uyakumnika.

⁵ Ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho umkhethile kuzo zonke izizwe zakho ukuba ame akhonze egameni likaJehova, yena namadodana akhe kuze kube phakade.

⁶ “ ‘Uma umLevi ephuma kwelinye lamasango akho, evela ku-Israyeli wonke, lapho egogobele khona njengowezizwe, eze nazo zonke izifiso zenhliziyo yakhe endaweni uJehova ayakuyikhetha;

⁷ Khona-ke kumelwe akhonze egameni likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe, njengabo bonke abafowabo, amaLevi, abami lapho phambi kukaJehova.

⁸ Bayoba nezabelo ezifanayo ukuze badle, ngaphandle kwalokho okuvela ekuthengisweni kwefa lakhe.

Ungaphili ngezinto ezesabekayo zabanye abantu

⁹ Lapho usufikile ezweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona, ungafundi ukwenza izinengiso zalezo zizwe.

¹⁰ Akuyikufunyanwa kinina odabulisa indodana yakhe noma indodakazi yakhe emlilweni, noma obhulayo, noma ohlola imihlola, noma ohlola imihlola, noma owenza imilingo, noma umthakathi,

¹¹ noma umthakathi, noma umluleki, noma umthakathi, noma ofileyo.

¹² Ngokuba bonke abenza lezi zinto bayisinengiso kuJehova; futhi ngenxa yalezi zinengiso uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyazixosha phambi kwakho.

¹³ Kumelwe niphelele kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

¹⁴ Ngoba lezi zizwe eniyozidla zilalele abahlola izikhathi nabahlola imihlola; kepha nina, uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akanivumelanga ukuba nenze kanjalo.

¹⁵ UJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakukuvusela umprofethi phakathi kwakho kubafowenu onjengami; Kumelwe nimlalele;

¹⁶ Njengakho konke owakufisayo ngosuku lwenhlangano yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho eHorebe ngokuthi: Mangingabuye ngizwe izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wami, futhi ngingabe ngisawubona lo mlilo omkhulu, Angifi.

¹⁷ UJehova wathi kimi: “Bakhulume kahle abakukhulumile.”

¹⁸ Ngiyakubavusela umprofethi phakathi kwabafowabo onjengawe, ngibeke amazwi ami emlonyeni wakhe; futhi uyokhuluma kubo konke engimyala ngakho.

¹⁹ Futhi kuyokwenzeka ukuthi noma ngubani ongawalaleli amazwi ami ayowakhuluma egameni lami, ngizowafuna kuye.

²⁰ Kodwa umprofethi ozidlayo ukuba akhulume izwi egameni lami engingamyalanga ukuba alikhulume, noma oyakukhuluma egameni labanye onkulunkulu, lowo mprofethi naye uyakufa.

²¹ Futhi uma uthi enhliziyweni yakho: Singalazi kanjani izwi uJehova angalikhulumanga?

²² Lapho umprofethi ekhuluma egameni likaJehova, le nto ingalandeli futhi ingenzeki, yizwi uJehova angalikhulumanga, kodwa umprofethi walikhuluma ngokugabadela; ungamesabi.
