Mousese Ea Malasu 18
1 Lifai fi (Gobele Salasu dunu fi) amo dunu da Isala: ili soge amo ganodini soge hame gagumu. Be ilia labe amola ha: i manu da eno dunu ilia Hina Godema hahawane udigili iasu amola gobele salasu liligi i.
The Levitical priests, in fact the whole tribe of Levi, will not have a share in the land allotment with the other Israelites. They are to eat from the food offerings presented to the Lord—that is what they are entitled to receive.
2 Lifai fi da eno dunu fi defele soge lai amo hame lamu. Be Hina Gode Ea sia: i defele ilia da Hina Gode Ea gobele salasu hamobeba: le, hahawane gaguiwane ba: mu.
While they don't own land among the other tribes, the Lord takes care of them, as he promised.
3 Isala: ili dunu da bulamagau o sibi Hina Godema gobele salasea, ilia da amo ea gida, magado amola hagomo amo gobele salasu dunuma imunu.
The priests' share of a sacrifice of a bull or a sheep that is brought by the people is as follows. The priests are to be given the shoulder, the jaw, and the insides.
4 Amola gobele salasu dunu (Lifai fi dunu) da degabo lai gagoma, waini, olife susuligi amola sibi hinabo lamu.
You are to provide them with the firstfruits of your grain, new wine, and olive oil, as well as the first wool sheared from your flock.
5 Dilia fi amo ganodini, Hina Gode da Lifai fi amo eso huluane Ema gobele salasu dunu hawa: hamomusa: gini ilegei dagoi.
For the Lord your God has chosen Levi and his descendants from all your tribes to stand before him and serve in his name forever.
6 Nowa Lifai dunu da hanai galea, e da hi moilai Isala: ili soge ganodini amo yolesili, Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi afae Gode da ilegei amoga masunu da defea.
If a Levite is convinced he should move from any Israelite town and goes to the place the Lord will choose,
7 Amogawi e da Lifai dunu eno amoga hawa: hamonana amo defele e da hawa: hamomu da defea.
then he shall be allowed to serve in the name of the Lord his God like all his fellow Levites who stand there in service before the Lord.
8 E da eno gobele salasu dunu defele ha: i manu lamu amola ea sosogo fi da ema ha: i manu o eno liligi iasisia, e da amo huluane lamu da defea.
They will all receive the same food allowances, despite him having received money from the sale of his father's property.
9 Dilia soge amo dilia Hina Gode da dilima iaha amo ganodini masea, dilia dunu fi waha amo ganodini esala amo ilia wadela: idafa hou defele mae hamoma: mu.
Once you enter the country the Lord your God is giving you, don't copy the offensive ways of the nations there.
10 Dilia mano amo ilia oloda da: iya mae laluga gobesima. Amola dilia fi dunu oda da wamuni dawa: su o yagono hou maedafa hamoma: mu.
There should be no one who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, practices divination or fortune-telling, uses magic or sorcery,
11 Amola ilia gabi amoma hame dawa: mu amola gesami dasu hou da dilima sema bagade.
practices witchcraft, visits a medium or spiritist, or communicates with the dead. Anyone does such things offends the Lord.
12 Amo hou huluane da wadela: idafa amola Hina Gode da amo hou higasa. Ga: ina: ne soge dunu da amo wadela: i hou hamonana. Amaiba: le, dilia da ilia soge ganodini gusuba: i ahoasea, Hina Gode da amo dunu gadili sefasimu.
It's because of these offensive things that the Lord your God is driving out the nations before you.
13 Dilia moloidafa mae fisili, Hina Gode Ea sia: nabawane hamoma.”
You are to be innocent of such things in the presence of the Lord your God.
14 Amalalu, Mousese da eno amane sia: i, “Ga: ina: ne dunu wali dilia gesowale fimu soge ganodini esala da gesami dasu amola wadela: i ba: la: lusu dunu ilia sia: naba. Be dilia Hina Gode da amo hou da dilima sema bagade sia: sa.
Even though these nations, whose land you will occupy, listen to magicians and fortune-tellers, the Lord your God forbids you to do so.
15 Be fa: no, E da balofede dunu na (Mousese) defele, dilia fi dunu, amo dilima asunasimu. Dilia ea sia: noga: le nabima.
The Lord your God will send you a prophet like me from your people. You must listen to him.
16 Dilia da musa: Sainai gilisilalu, dilia da Hina Godema bu “mae sia: ma” amola Ea hadigi bu mae ba: ma: ne sia: i. Bai dilia da bogosa: besa: le, bagade beda: i.
Remember what you told the Lord your God at Horeb when you were all assembled there. You said, “Please don't let us go on hearing the Lord our God speak to us, or see this terrifying fire anymore! Otherwise we're going to die!”
17 Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da Goumia nama amane sia: i, ‘Ilia da dawa: iwane adole ba: i.
Then the Lord told me, “They are right in what they're saying.
18 Na da Isala: ili fi balofede dunu, di agoane, ilima asunasimu. E da Na sia: amo Isala: ili dunuma olelemu.
I'm going to send them a prophet like you from their people. I will give him my messages, and he will tell them everything I order him to say.
19 E da Na Dioba: le sia: mu amola nowa dunu da ea sia: hame nabasea, Na da ema se dabe imunu.
I will deal with anyone who does not listen to my message that the prophet speaks in my name.
20 Be balofede dunu afae da hi sia: fawane Na sia: mae nabawane, ogogole Na Dioba: le sia: sea, defea, amo dunu medole legema. Amola balofede dunu da eno ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi amo ilia dioba: le sia: sea, amo dunu medole legema.
However, if any prophet claims to be delivering a message in my name that I have not ordered him to give, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must be executed.”
21 Amabela: ? Dilia da gilisili sia: dasea agoane, ‘Ninia da habodane balofede dunu da ogogole Gode Ea sia: mae nabawane hi sia: fawane olelesa, amo habodane dawa: ma: bela: ?’
You may be wondering, “How can we be sure that a message hasn't come from the Lord?”
22 Dilia da agoane dawa: mu. Balofede dunu da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le amo hou da fa: no misunu sia: sa amola amo hou da hame doaga: sea, defea, amo dunu da Gode Ea sia: hame olelesa dawa: ma. E da hisu hi asigi dawa: su fawane olelesa amola dilia ema mae beda: ma.
When a prophet speaks in the Lord's name and what he says doesn't happen or come true, then that is a not a message from the Lord. The prophet has spoken with contempt for the Lord. Don't be intimidated by him.
