Olrhaepnah 18

The priests and the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire and his portion.
2 Te dongah a manuca lakli ah pataeng anih ham rho om pawt vetih anih taengkah a thui pah vanbangla BOEIPA amah ni anih kah rho la aka om coeng.
They shall have no inheritance amongst their brothers. The LORD is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
3 Pilnam loh hmueih la a ngawn te khosoih rhoek kah hamsum la om vetih vaito khaw, tu khaw a laeng, a kam neh a kotak te khosoih pae saeh.
This shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest: the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the inner parts.
4 Na cangpai vueilue, misur thai a huem, na situi, tu mul tanglue te khaw na paek ni.
You shall give him the first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep.
5 A hing tue khui boeih ah BOEIPA amah ming neh bibi la aka pai ham ni nang koca rhoek boeih khui lamloh anih koca rhoek tah BOEIPA na Pathen loh amah hut la a coelh.
For the LORD your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in the LORD’s name, him and his sons forever.
6 Levi pakhat loh na vongka khui lamloh puen uh coeng. Tedae BOEIPA hmuen tuek te a hinglu loh a hue tangkik vaengah a bakuep nah Israel kho khat khat la koep ha pawk atah,
If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel where he lives, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which the LORD shall choose,
7 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah aka pai a manuca Levi rhoek vanbangla BOEIPA na Pathen ming neh bibi saeh.
then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before the LORD.
8 A napa taengkah hnoyoih om mai cakhaw khoyo tah khoyo bangla ca uh saeh.
They shall have like portions to eat, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions.
9 BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengah m'paek khohmuen te na kun thil vaengah amih namtom rhoek kah tueilaehkoi te saii hamla cang boeh.
When you have come into the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the abominations of those nations.
10 Hmai dongah a capa a canu aka thak, bihma aka bi, kutyaek aka so, lung aka so, hlang aka bi,
There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who tells fortunes, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
11 Hlang hloih neh aka yok uh khaw, rhaitonghma aka dawt khaw, hnam neh hlang duek aka khue khaw na khuiah nuen boel saeh.
or a charmer, or someone who consults with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 Te bang aka saii boeih te BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi tih te rhoek kah tueilaehkoi dongah ni amih khaw BOEIPA na Pathen loh na mikhmuh lamkah a haek.
For whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD. Because of these abominations, the LORD your God drives them out from before you.
13 BOEIPA na Pathen taengah a cuemthuek la na om ni.
You shall be blameless with the LORD your God.
14 Nang kah na huul namtom rhoek loh kutyaek aka so tih aka hma ol te hnatun uh cakhaw nang ham tah BOEIPA na Pathen loh a ngaih moenih.
For these nations that you shall dispossess listen to those who practise sorcery and to diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you so to do.
15 BOEIPA na Pathen loh namah khui lamkah na manuca tonghma, kai bang he nangmih ham a thoh bitni. Anih ol te hnatun uh.
The LORD your God will raise up to you a prophet from amongst you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.
16 Horeb kah hlangping hnin vaengah BOEIPA na Pathen taengah boeih na 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 ti nah vanbangla,
This is according to all that you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again the LORD my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.”
17 BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “A thui uh te thuem.
The LORD said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.
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 taengah a thui bitni.
I will raise them up a prophet from amongst their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
19 Kai ming neh a thui kai kah olka te hnatun mueh la aka om hlang te tah kamah loh ka cae bitni.
It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 Tedae lokhak tih thui ham koi te anih ka uen pawt mai ah ka ming neh olka aka thui tonghma te khaw, a tloe pathen ming neh aka cal tonghma te duek saeh,” a ti.
But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”
21 Tahae ah khaw na thin khuiah ngawn tah, “BOEIPA loh anih voek pawt koinih olka te metlamlae m'ming uh thai,” na ti mai ni.
You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?”
22 Tonghma pakhat long he BOEIPA ming neh a thui dae hno pakhat khaw coeng sak pawt tih a olka te a thaihtak pawt atah BOEIPA kah a thui moenih. Althanah neh aka cal tonghma tah a taengah bakuep pah boeh.
When a prophet speaks in the LORD’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.
