UDuteronomi 12
1Lezi ziyizimiso nezahlulelo eniyakuzigcina ukuba nizenze ezweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo akunika lona ukuba ulidle zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwenu emhlabeni.
2Niyakuqalekisa zonke izindawo lapho izizwe eniyakuzidla zikhonze khona onkulunkulu bazo, ezintabeni eziphakemeyo, nasemagqumeni, naphansi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza;
3Kumelwe nigumbuqele ama-altare abo, niphihlize izinsika zabo futhi nishise iziqu zabo zemithi ngomlilo; futhi kumelwe nigawule izithombe ezibaziweyo zonkulunkulu bazo nichithe amagama azo kuleyo ndawo.
4Aniyikwenza lokhu kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.
5Kodwa endaweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ayakuyikhetha kuzo zonke izizwe zenu ukuba amise igama lakhe kuyo, ngisho nalapho ehlala khona kumelwe nifune, futhi niyofika lapho.
6Kumelwe nilethe lapho iminikelo yenu yokushiswa nemihlatshelo yenu nokweshumi kwenu neminikelo yokuphakanyiswa evela esandleni senu, nezithembiso zenu neminikelo yenu yesihle namazibulo ezinkomo zenu nawezimvu zenu.
7Niyakudla lapho phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, nijabule ngakho konke enibeka kukho isandla senu, nina nezindlu zenu uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akubusisile kuzo.
8Akumelwe nenze njengazo zonke izinto esizenzayo lapha namuhla, wonke umuntu olungile emehlweni akhe.
9Ngoba awukafiki ekuphumuleni nasefeni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona.
10Kodwa uma niwela iJordani, nihlala ezweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu aninika lona njengefa, futhi uma eniphumuza ezitheni zenu zonke nxazonke, ukuze nihlale nilondekile;
11Kuyakuba khona indawo uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ayakuyikhetha ukuba ahlale kuyo igama lakhe; lapho uyakuletha konke engikuyala ngakho; iminikelo yenu yokushiswa nemihlatshelo yenu, okweshumi kwenu nomnikelo wokuphakanyiswa wesandla senu nazo zonke izithembiso zenu zekhethelo enizenza kuJehova.
12Kumelwe ujabule phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, wena namadodana akho namadodakazi akho nezinceku zakho nezincekukazi zakho nomLevi osemasangweni akho; ngoba akanasabelo nafa kanye nawe.
13Ziqaphele ukuba unganikeli iminikelo yakho yokushiswa ezindaweni zonke ozibonayo.
14Kodwa endaweni uJehova ayakuyikhetha kwesinye sezizwe zakho, lapho uyakunikela ngeminikelo yakho yokushiswa, wenze khona konke engikuyala ngakho.
15Kodwa ungahlaba inyama emasangweni akho wonke, udle konke umphefumulo wakho okufisayo, ngokwesibusiso sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akuphe sona; inhliziyo.
16Kuphela lingadli igazi; njengamanzi kumelwe uwathululele emhlabeni.
17Ungadli phakathi kwamasango akho okweshumi kukakolweni wakho, nokwewayini lakho, noma kwamafutha akho, namazibulo ezinkomo zakho noma ezimvu zakho, nanoma yisiphi isithembiso sakho osithembisayo, noma iminikelo yakho yesihle noma iminikelo yakho yesihle. Hhayi. Umnikelo wesandla sakho:
18Kepha uyakukudlela phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho endaweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ayakuyikhetha, wena nendodana yakho, nendodakazi yakho, nenceku yakho, nencekukazi yakho, nomLevi osemasangweni akho; uthokoze phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngakho konke obeka izandla zakho kukho.
19Ziqaphele ukuthi ungamshiyi umLevi zonke izinsuku zakho emhlabeni.
20Lapho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho eyakwandisa umkhawulo wakho njengokukhuluma kwakhe kuwe, uthi: Ngiyakudla inyama, ngokuba umphefumulo wakho unxanela ukudla inyama; inyama ungayidla, konke umphefumulo wakho okufisayo.
21Uma ikude nawe indawo uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ayikhethile ukuba abeke igama lakhe kuyo, uyakuhlaba izinkomo zakho nezimvu zakho uJehova akunike zona, njengalokho ngakuyala, udle emasangweni akho konke. Lokho umphefumulo wakho okufisayo.
22Njengalokhu kudliwa inyamazane nendluzele, niyakudla kanjalo; ongcolile nohlanzekile kumelwe badle kuwo ngokulinganayo.
23Qaphelani nje ukuthi kalidli igazi, ngoba igazi liwukuphila; futhi aniyikudla ukuphila kanye nenyama.
24Aniyikudla; kumelwe uwathele emhlabeni njengamanzi.
25Aniyikudla; ukuze kukuhambele kahle wena nabantwana bakho emva kwakho, uma wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova.
26Izipho zenu ezingcwele kuphela eninazo, nezithembiso zenu, niyakuhamba niye endaweni uJehova ayakuyikhetha.
27Kumelwe ulungise iminikelo yakho yokushiswa, inyama negazi e-altare likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho; igazi lemihlatshelo yakho kumelwe lithululwe e-altare likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, futhi kumelwe uyidle inyama.
28Lalela, uzwe wonke lawa mazwi engikuyala ngawo, ukuze kukuhambele kahle wena nabantwana bakho emva kwakho kuze kube phakade, uma nenza okuhle nokulungile emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.
29Lapho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho echitha izizwe phambi kwakho, lapho uya khona ukuzidla, wena uzilandele, uhlale ezweni lazo;
30Qaphela ukuthi ungacutshwa ngokuzilandela ngemva kokuba sezichithiwe phambi kwakho; futhi ungabuzi konkulunkulu bazo, uthi: Lezi zizwe zabakhonza kanjani onkulunkulu bazo? Nami ngizokwenza okufanayo.
31Aniyikwenza lokhu kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu; ngokuba zonke izinengiso kuJehova azizondayo zenzile konkulunkulu bazo; ngoba ngisho namadodana abo namadodakazi abo babashisa ngomlilo konkulunkulu babo.
32Konke engikuyala ngakho, nikwenze ngokucophelela;
