UDuteronomi 17
1“Awuyikuhlabela uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho inkomo noma imvu enesici noma enesifo; ngoba kuyisinengiso kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.
2Uma kufunyanwa phakathi kwakho kwelinye lamasango akho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika wona, owesilisa noma owesifazane, owenze okubi emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngokwephula isivumelwano sakhe,
3Wahamba wakhonza abanye onkulunkulu, wabakhothamela, ilanga nenyanga noma ibutho lasezulwini engingazange ngibayale ngakho;
4Kwatshelwa, wakuzwa, wabuzisisa, bheka, kuyiqiniso, nendaba iqinisekile ukuthi isinengiso esinjalo senziwa kwa-Israyeli.
5Uyakumkhiphela phandle leyo ndoda noma lowo wesifazane owenze lokho okubi emasangweni akho, leyo ndoda noma lowo wesifazane, umkhande ngamatshe, baze bafe.
6Ngomlomo wawofakazi ababili noma kofakazi abathathu, lowo ofanele ukufa makabulawe; kodwa ngomlomo wofakazi oyedwa kayikubulawa.
7Izandla zabafakazi kumelwe zibe phezu kwakhe kuqala ukuze ambulale, bese kuba izandla zabo bonke abantu. Ngakho kufanele ususe ububi ngaphansi kwakho.
Izinqumo zenkantolo
8Uma 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;
9Kumelwe uye kubapristi abangamaLevi nomahluleli oyoba khona ngalezo zinsuku futhi ubuze; futhi bayonibonisa isigwebo sokwahlulela.
10Kumelwe wenze ngokuvumelana nesigwebo abayoninikeza sona endaweni uJehova ayoyikhetha; futhi kumelwe wenze ngokucophelela ngokuvumelana nakho konke abakutshela khona.
11Njengomthetho abayakunifundisa wona, nanjengesahlulelo abayakukutshela sona, nikwenze;
12Umuntu 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.
13Bonke abantu bayokuzwa, besabe, bangabe besagabadela.
14Uma ungena ezweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona, ulidle, uhlale kulo, uthi: ‘Ngiyakumisa inkosi phezu kwami njengezizwe zonke ezingihaqileyo;
15Kumelwe ummise abe yinkosi phezu kwakho kukho konke uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ayakumkhetha; omunye wabafowenu kumelwe umise inkosi phezu kwakho; awuyikumisa phezu kwakho umfokazi ongesiye umfowenu.
16Kodwa akumelwe azandisele amahhashi futhi angavumeli abantu babuyele eGibhithe ukuze andise amahhashi;
17Futhi makangazandiseli abafazi, funa inhliziyo yakhe iphambuke; futhi ngeke azandisele kakhulu isiliva negolide.
18Kuyakuthi lapho ehlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso wakhe, uyakuzilobela ikhophi yalo mthetho encwadini ephuma kuleyo ephambi kwabapristi bamaLevi.
19Kumelwe ibe kuye, futhi kumelwe ayifunde zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwakhe, ukuze afunde ukumesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe nokugcina wonke amazwi alo mthetho nalezi zimiso ukuba awenze.
20Ukuze inhliziyo yakhe ingaziphakamisi phezu kwabafowabo, angaphambuki emyalweni wakhe, ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo, ukuze andise izinsuku zakhe embusweni wakhe, yena nabantwana bakhe phakathi kuka-Israyeli.
