Support for true prophets and teachers
The anonymous author is giving community rules, now instructing how to support true prophets and teachers with first fruits.
Every true prophet who wants to settle among you deserves his food.
In the same way, a true teacher also deserves his food, just like a worker.
So take the first fruits of all the produce of your winepress and threshing floor, and of your cattle and sheep, and give them to the prophets, for they are your high priests.
If you have no prophet, give them to the poor.
If you make a batch of dough, take the first fruits and give them according to the commandment.
Likewise, when you open a jar of wine or oil, take the first fruits and give them to the prophets.
And take the first fruits of silver, clothing, and every possession, and give them according to the commandment, as it may seem good to you.
Greek
Πᾶς δὲ προφήτης ἀληθινὸς θέλων καθῆσθαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἄξιός ἐστι τῆς τροφῆς αὐτοῦ.
ὡσαύτως διδάσκαλος ἀληθινός ἐστιν ἄξιος καὶ αὐτὸς ὥσπερ ὁ ἐργάτης τῆς τροφῆς αὐτοῦ.
πᾶσαν οὖν ἀπαρχὴν γεννημάτων ληνοῦ καὶ ἅλωνος, βοῶν τε καὶ προβάτων λαβὼν δώσεις τὴν ἀπαρχὴν τοῖς προφήταις: αὐτοὶ γάρ εἰσιν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ὑμῶν.
ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἔχητε προφήτην, δότε τοῖς πτωχοῖς.
ἐὰν σιτίαν ποιῇς, τὴν ἀπαρχὴν λαβὼν δὸς κατὰ τὴν ἐντολήν.
ὡσαύτως κεράμιον οἴνου ἡ ἐλαίου ἀνοίξας, τὴν ἀπαρχὴν λαβὼν δὸς τοῖς προφήταις:
ἀργυρίου δὲ καὶ ἱματισμοῦ καὶ παντὸς κτήματος λαβὼν τὴν ἀπαρχήν, ὡς ἄν σοι δόξῃ, δὸς κατὰ τὴν ἐντολήν.
