5 Mojžišova 18
1 Nebudou míti kněží Levítští a všecko pokolení Levítské dílu a dědictví s jiným lidem Izraelským, oběti ohnivé Hospodinovy a dědictví jeho jísti budou.
“The priests, who are all from the tribe of Levi, will not receive any land in Israel. Instead, they will receive some of the food that other people offer to be burned [on the altar to be sacrificed] to Yahweh and some of the other sacrifices that will be offered to Yahweh.
2 Dědictví nebudou míti u prostřed bratří svých, Hospodin jest dědictví jejich, jakož jim mluvil.
They will not be allotted any land like the other tribes will be. What they will receive is the work/privilege of being Yahweh’s [priests], which is what he said that they should have.
3 Toto pak náležeti bude kněžím od lidu, od obětujících obět, buď vola neb dobytče: Dáno bude knězi plece, a líce a žaludek.
“When the people bring an ox or a sheep to be sacrificed, they must give to the priests the shoulder, the cheeks/jaws, and the stomach of those animals.
4 Prvotiny obilé svého, vína a oleje svého, i prvotiny vlny z ovec svých dáš jemu.
You must also give to them the first part of the grain that you [harvest], and the first part of the wine [that you make], and the first part of the [olive] oil [that you make], and the first part of the wool that you shear from your sheep.
5 Nebo jej vyvolil Hospodin Bůh tvůj ze všech pokolení tvých, aby stál k službě ve jménu Hospodina, on i synové jeho po všecky dny.
You must do this because Yahweh our God has chosen the tribe of Levi from all of your tribes, in order that men [from that tribe] would always be the priests who would serve him.
6 Když by pak přišel který Levíta z některého města tvého, ze všeho Izraele, kdež bydlil, a přišel by s velikou žádostí duše své na místo, kteréž by vyvolil Hospodin:
“If any man from the tribe of Levi [who has been living] in one of the towns in Israel wants to come from there to the place of worship that Yahweh has chosen, [and start living there],
7 Sloužiti bude ve jménu Hospodina Boha svého, jako i jiní bratří jeho Levítové, kteříž tu stojí před Hospodinem.
he is permitted to serve Yahweh there as a priest, just like the other men from the tribe of Levi who have been serving there.
8 Díl rovný jísti budou, (bez škody toho, což by každý z nich prodal, ) vedlé čeledi otců.
He must be given the same amount of food [that the other priests receive]. He is permitted to keep the money [that his relatives give him] for selling some of their possessions.
9 Když vejdeš do země, kterouž Hospodin Bůh tvůj dává tobě, neuč se činiti podlé ohavností národů těch.
When you enter the land that Yahweh our God is giving you, you must not imitate the disgusting things that the people-groups who are there now do.
10 Nebude nalezen v tobě, kdož by vedl syna svého aneb dceru svou skrz oheň, ani věštěc, ani planétník, ani čarodějník, ani kouzedlník.
You must not sacrifice any of your children by burning them [on your altars]. Do not practice (divination/using supernatural power to reveal [what will happen in] the future). Do not do/practice (soothsaying/magic to find out what will happen in the future). Do not (interpret omens/say that because of something that you have seen you know what will happen). Do not practice sorcery/witchcraft. Do not practice (putting spells on people/saying things to cause bad things to happen to others).
11 Ani losník, ani zaklinač, ani hadač, ani černokněžník.
Do not try to talk with spirits of dead people. Do not do/practice magic.
12 Nebo ohavnost jest Hospodinu, kdožkoli činí to, a pro takové ohavnosti Hospodin Bůh tvůj vymítá je od tváři tvé.
Yahweh hates people who do any of those disgusting things. And as you advance through that land, he is going to expel the people-groups because they do/practice those disgusting things.
13 Dokonalý budeš před Hospodinem Bohem svým.
But you must always avoid doing any of those things.
14 Nebo národové ti, kterýmiž vládnouti budeš, planetářů a věšťců poslouchají, tobě pak toho nedopouští Hospodin Bůh tvůj.
The people-groups that you are about to expel [from the land that you will occupy] (consult/seek advice from) soothsayers and those who practice divination. But as for you, Yahweh our God does not allow you to do that.
15 Proroka z prostředku tvého, z bratří tvých, jako já jsem, vzbudí tobě Hospodin Bůh tvůj; jeho poslouchati budete,
[Some day] he will send from among you a prophet like me. [He is the one who will tell you what will happen in the future], and he is the one whom you must heed.
16 Podlé všeho toho, jakž jsi žádal od Hospodina Boha svého, na Orébě, v den shromáždění, řka: Ať více neslyším hlasu Hospodina Boha svého, ani více vidím ohně toho velikého, abych neumřel.
On the day that your ancestors were gathered at the bottom of Sinai Mountain, they pleaded with me saying, ‘We do not want Yahweh to speak [MTY] to us again, and we do not want to see this huge fire [that is burning on the mountain]!’ [Your ancestors said that because they were afraid] that they would die [if Yahweh spoke to them again].
17 Pročež mi řekl Hospodin: Dobře mluvili, což jsou mluvili.
Then Yahweh said to me, ‘What they have said is true/wise.
18 Proroka vzbudím jim z prostředku bratří jejich, jako jsi ty, a položím slova má v ústa jeho, a bude jim mluviti všecko, což mu přikáži.
So I will send from among them a prophet who will be like you. I will tell him what to say, and then he will tell people everything that I tell him to say.
19 I budeť, že kdo by koli neposlouchal slov mých, kteráž mluviti bude ve jménu mém, já vyhledávati budu na něm.
He will speak for me. And I will punish anyone who does not heed what he says.
20 Prorok pak, kterýž by pyšně se vystavoval, mluvě slovo ve jménu mém, kteréhož jsem mluviti jemu nepřikázal, a kterýž by mluvil ve jménu bohů cizích, takový prorok ať umře.
But if any other [person says that he is a] prophet [and] dares to speak a message which he falsely says comes from me but which I did not tell him to speak, or if anyone who speaks a message that he says other gods [MTY] have revealed to him, he must be executed [for doing that].’
21 Jestliže pak díš v srdci svém: Kterak poznáme slovo to, jehož by nemluvil Hospodin?
But if you say to yourself, ‘How can we know if a message [that someone tells us] does not come from Yahweh?’
22 Když by mluvil něco prorok ve jménu Hospodinovu, a však by se toho nestalo, aniž by přišlo, toť jest to slovo, jehož nemluvil Hospodin; z pychuť jest to mluvil prorok ten, nebojž se ho.
[The answer is that] when someone speaks a message [about what will happen in the future], a message that he says was revealed by Yahweh, if what he says does not happen, [you will know that] the message did not come from Yahweh. That person has wrongly claimed that it was revealed to him by Yahweh. So you do not need to be afraid of [anything that] he [says].”
