اَلتَّثْنِيَة 18

١ 1 «لَا يَكُونُ لِلْكَهَنَةِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ، كُلِّ سِبْطِ لَاوِي، قِسْمٌ وَلَا نَصِيبٌ مَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. يَأْكُلُونَ وَقَائِدَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَنَصِيبَهُ.

The Priests of the Leuites, and all the tribe of Leui shall haue no part nor inheritace with Israel, but shall eate the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and his inheritance.

٢ 2 فَلَا يَكُونُ لَهُ نَصِيبٌ فِي وَسَطِ إِخْوَتِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ هُوَ نَصِيبُهُ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ.

Therefore shall they haue no inheritance among their brethren: for the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath sayd vnto them.

٣ 3 «وَهَذَا يَكُونُ حَقُّ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَذْبَحُونَ ٱلذَّبَائِحَ بَقَرًا كَانَتْ أَوْ غَنَمًا. يُعْطُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلسَّاعِدَ وَٱلْفَكَّيْنِ وَٱلْكِرْشَ.

And this shalbe the Priests duetie of the people, that they, which offer sacrifice, whether it be bullocke or sheepe, shall giue vnto the Priest the shoulder, and the two cheekes, and the mawe.

٤ 4 وَتُعْطِيهِ أَوَّلَ حِنْطَتِكَ وَخَمْرِكَ وَزَيْتِكَ، وَأَوَّلَ جَزَازِ غَنَمِكَ.

The first fruites also of thy corne, of thy wine, and of thine oyle, and the first of the fleece of thy sheepe shalt thou giue him.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ قَدِ ٱخْتَارَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِكَ لِكَيْ يَقِفَ لِيَخْدِمَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، هُوَ وَبَنُوهُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

For the Lord thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stande and minister in the Name of the Lord, him, and his sonnes for euer.

٦ 6 «وَإِذَا جَاءَ لَاوِيٌّ مِنْ أَحَدِ أَبْوَابِكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَيْثُ هُوَ مُتَغَرِّبٌ، وَجَاءَ بِكُلِّ رَغْبَةِ نَفْسِهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ،

Also when a Leuite shall come out of any of thy cities of all Israel, where hee remained, and come with all the desire of his heart vnto the place, which the Lord shall chuse,

٧ 7 وَخَدَمَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ مِثْلَ جَمِيعِ إِخْوَتِهِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ هُنَاكَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ،

He shall then minister in the Name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Leuites, which remaine there before the Lord.

٨ 8 يَأْكُلُونَ أَقْسَامًا مُتَسَاوِيَةً، عَدَا مَا يَبِيعُهُ عَنْ آبَائِهِ.

They shall haue like portions to eat beside that which commeth of his sale of his patrimonie.

٩ 9 «مَتَى دَخَلْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، لَا تَتَعَلَّمْ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ مِثْلَ رِجْسِ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

When thou shalt come into ye land which the Lord thy God giueth thee, thou shalt not learne to do after ye abominations of those nations.

١٠ 10 لَا يُوجَدْ فِيكَ مَنْ يُجِيزُ ٱبْنَهُ أَوِ ٱبْنَتَهُ فِي ٱلنَّارِ، وَلَا مَنْ يَعْرُفُ عِرَافَةً، وَلَا عَائِفٌ وَلَا مُتَفَائِلٌ وَلَا سَاحِرٌ،

Let none be founde among you that maketh his sonne or his daughter to goe thorough the fire, or that vseth witchcraft, or a regarder of times, or a marker of the flying of foules, or a sorcerer,

١١ 11 وَلَا مَنْ يَرْقِي رُقْيَةً، وَلَا مَنْ يَسْأَلُ جَانًّا أَوْ تَابِعَةً، وَلَا مَنْ يَسْتَشِيرُ ٱلْمَوْتَى.

Or a charmer, or that counselleth with spirits, or a soothsaier, or that asketh counsel at ye dead.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ مَكْرُوهٌ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَبِسَبَبِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْجَاسِ، ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ طَارِدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ.

For all that doe such things are abomination vnto the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doeth cast them out before thee.

١٣ 13 تَكُونُ كَامِلًا لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

Thou shalt be vpright therefore with the Lord thy God.

١٤ 14 إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْأُمَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَخْلُفُهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ لِلْعَائِفِينَ وَٱلْعَرَّافِينَ. وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلَمْ يَسْمَحْ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ هَكَذَا.

For these nations which thou shalt possesse, hearken vnto those that regarde the times, and vnto sorcerers: as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffred thee so.

١٥ 15 «يُقِيمُ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ نَبِيًّا مِنْ وَسَطِكَ مِنْ إِخْوَتِكَ مِثْلِي. لَهُ تَسْمَعُونَ.

The Lord thy God will raise vp vnto thee a Prophet like vnto me, from among you, euen of thy brethren: vnto him ye shall hearken,

١٦ 16 حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا طَلَبْتَ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي حُورِيبَ يَوْمَ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ قَائِلًا: لَا أَعُودُ أَسْمَعُ صَوْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِي وَلَا أَرَى هَذِهِ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةَ أَيْضًا لِئَلَّا أَمُوتَ.

According to al that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb, in the day of the assemblie, when thou saidest, Let me heare the voice of my Lord God no more, nor see this great fire any more, that I die not.

١٧ 17 قَالَ لِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ أَحْسَنُوا فِي مَا تَكَلَّمُوا.

And the Lord sayde vnto me, They haue well spoken.

١٨ 18 أُقِيمُ لَهُمْ نَبِيًّا مِنْ وَسَطِ إِخْوَتِهِمْ مِثْلَكَ، وَأَجْعَلُ كَلَامِي فِي فَمِهِ، فَيُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا أُوصِيهِ بِهِ.

I will raise them vp a Prophet from among their brethren like vnto thee, and will put my woordes in his mouth, and he shall speake vnto them all that I shall commaund him.

١٩ 19 وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَسْمَعُ لِكَلَامِي ٱلَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ بِٱسْمِي أَنَا أُطَالِبُهُ.

And whosoeuer will not hearken vnto my wordes, which he shall speake in my Name, I will require it of him.

٢٠ 20 وَأَمَّا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي يُطْغِي، فَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱسْمِي كَلَامًا لَمْ أُوصِهِ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، أَوِ ٱلَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱسْمِ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، فَيَمُوتُ ذَلِكَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ.

But the prophet that shall presume to speake a worde in my name, which I haue not commanded him to speake, or that speaketh in the name of other gods, euen the same prophet shall die.

٢١ 21 وَإِنْ قُلْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ: كَيْفَ نَعْرِفُ ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ؟

And if thou thinke in thine heart, Howe shall we knowe the worde which the Lord hath not spoken?

٢٢ 22 فَمَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلنَّبِيُّ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَمْ يَحْدُثْ وَلَمْ يَصِرْ، فَهُوَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ، بَلْ بِطُغْيَانٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلنَّبِيُّ، فَلَا تَخَفْ مِنْهُ.

When a prophet speaketh in the Name of the Lord, if the thing follow not nor come to passe, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not therefore be afraid of him.
