Olrhaepnah 18
1 Israel taengkah khoyo neh rho he Levi koca boeih lamkah Levi khosoih hama om oeh pawt dongah BOEIPA kah hmaihlutnahte amah rho la cauh van saeh.
The priests, the Levites, that is, all the tribe of Levi, will have no part or heritage with Israel: their food and their heritage will be the offerings of the Lord made by fire.
2 Te dongah a manuca lakli ah pataeng anih ham rho om pawt vetih anih taengkaha thui pah vanbangla BOEIPA amahni anih kah rho la aka om coeng.
And they will have no heritage among their countrymen: the Lord is their heritage, as he has said to them.
3 Pilnamloh hmueihlaa ngawn te khosoihrhoek kah hamsum la om vetih vaito khaw, tu khaw a laeng, a kam neha kotakte khosoih pae saeh.
And this is to be the priests' right: those who make an offering of a sheep or an ox are to give to the priest the top part of the leg and the two sides of the head and the stomach.
4 Na cangpai vueilue, misur thai a huem, na situi, tu mul tanglue te khaw na paek ni.
And in addition you are to give him the first of your grain and wine and oil, and the first wool cut from your sheep.
5 A hing tuekhui boeihah BOEIPA amah ming neh bibi laaka pai ham ni nang kocarhoek boeihkhui lamloh anih koca rhoek tah BOEIPA na Pathenloh amah hut laa coelh.
For he, and his sons after him for ever, have been marked out by the Lord your God from all your tribes, to do the work of priests in the name of the Lord.
6 Levi pakhatloh na vongkakhui lamloh puenuh coeng. Tedae BOEIPA hmuen tuek te a hingluloh a hue tangkik vaengah a bakuep nah Israel kho khat khat la koep ha pawk atah,
And if a Levite, moved by a strong desire, comes from any town in all Israel where he is living to the place marked out by the Lord;
7 BOEIPA mikhmuh ahaka pai a manuca Levi rhoek vanbangla BOEIPA na Pathen ming neh bibi saeh.
Then he will do the work of a priest in the name of the Lord his God, with all his brothers the Levites who are there before the Lord.
8 A napa taengkah hnoyoih om mai cakhaw khoyo tah khoyo bangla ca uh saeh.
His food will be the same as theirs, in addition to what has come to him as the price of his property.
9 BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang taengah m'paek khohmuen te na kun thil vaengah amih namtomrhoek kah tueilaehkoi te saii hamla cang boeh.
When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, do not take as your example the disgusting ways of those nations.
10 Hmai dongah a capa a canuaka thak, bihmaaka bi, kutyaek aka so, lung aka so, hlang aka bi,
Let there not be seen among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter go through the fire, or anyone using secret arts, or a maker of strange sounds, or a reader of signs, or any wonder-worker,
11 Hlang hloih neh aka yokuh khaw, rhaitonghmaaka dawt khaw, hnam neh hlang duekaka khue khaw na khuiah nuen boel saeh.
Or anyone using secret force on people, or putting questions to a spirit, or having secret knowledge, or going to the dead for directions.
12 Te bang aka saii boeihte BOEIPAkaha tueilaehkoi tih terhoek kah tueilaehkoi dong ahni amih khaw BOEIPA na Pathenloh na mikhmuh lamkaha haek.
For all who do such things are disgusting to the Lord; and because of these disgusting things the Lord your God is driving them out before you.
13 BOEIPA na Pathen taengaha cuemthuek la na om ni.
You are to be upright in heart before the Lord your God.
14 Nang kah na huul namtom rhoekloh kutyaek aka so tihaka hma ol te hnatunuh cakhaw nang ham tah BOEIPA na Pathenloh a ngaih moenih.
For these nations, whose land you are taking, give attention to readers of signs and to those using secret arts: but the Lord your God will not let you do so.
15 BOEIPA na Pathenloh namah khui lamkah na manuca tonghma, kai bang he nangmih hama thoh bitni. Anih ol te hnatunuh.
The Lord your God will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to him;
16 Horeb kah hlangping hnin vaengah BOEIPA na Pathen taengah boeihna dawt tih, “BOEIPA ka Pathen ol yaak hamla ng'khoep boel mai lamtah hmai puei he khaw m'hmuh sak voel boel mai. Te daengah ni ka duek pawt eh?,” na tinah vanbangla,
In answer to the request you made to the Lord your God in Horeb on the day of the great meeting, when you said, Let not the voice of the Lord my God come to my ears again, and let me not see this great fire any more, or death will overtake me.
17 BOEIPAloh kai taengah, “A thuiuh te thuem.
Then the Lord said to me, What they have said is well said.
18 Amih khuikah a manuca tonghma nang bang te ka thoh vetih a ka dongah ka ol ka khueh pah vaengah anih ka uen boeih te amih taengaha thui bitni.
I will give them a prophet from among themselves, like you, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he will say to them whatever I give him orders to say.
19 Kai ming neha thui kai kah olka te hnatun mueh la aka om hlang te tah kamah loh ka cae bitni.
And whoever does not give ear to my words which he will say in my name, will be responsible to me.
20 Tedae lokhaktih thui ham koi te anih ka uen pawt mai ah ka ming neh olkaaka thui tonghma te khaw, a tloe pathen ming nehaka cal tonghma te duek saeh,” a ti.
But the prophet who takes it on himself to say words in my name which I have not given him orders to say, or who says anything in the name of other gods, will come to his death.
21 Tahaeah khaw na thin khuiah ngawn tah, “BOEIPAloh anih voek pawt koinih olka te metlamlae m'ming uh thai,” na ti mai ni.
And if you say in your hearts, How are we to be certain that the word does not come from the Lord?
22 Tonghma pakhat long he BOEIPA ming neha thui dae hno pakhat khaw coeng sak pawt tiha olka tea thaihtak pawt atah BOEIPA kah a thui moenih. Althanah nehaka cal tonghma tah a taengah bakuep pah boeh.
When a prophet makes a statement in the name of the Lord, if what he says does not take place and his words do not come true, then his word is not the word of the Lord: the words of the prophet were said in the pride of his heart, and you are to have no fear of him.
