5 Mosebog 18
1 Levitpræsterne, hele Levis Stamme, skal ikke have arvelod og Del sammen med det øvrige Israel, men leve af HERRENs Ildofre og af det, der tilfalder ham.
The priests the Levites [Descendants of United with], all the tribe of Levi [United with], shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel [God prevails]. They shall eat the offerings of Adonai made by fire and his portion.
2 Han må ikke eje nogen Arvelod blandt sine Brødre; HERREN er hans Arvelod, som han lovede ham.
They shall have no inheritance among their brothers. Adonai is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
3 Og dette skal være den Ret, Præsterne har Krav på hos Folket, hos dem, der slagter Ofre, være sig Okser eller Småkvæg: Han skal give Præsten Boven, Kæberne og Kaljunet.
This shall be the priests’ mishpat ·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 Det første af dit Korn, din Most og din Olie og den første Uld af dine Får skal du give ham.
The first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the first fleece of your sheep, you shall give him.
5 Thi ham har HERREN din Gud udvalgt blandt alle dine Stammer, så at han og hans Sønner altid skal gøre Præstetjeneste i HERRENs Navn.
For Adonai your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in Adonai’s name, him and his sons forever.
6 Når en Levit inden dine Porte et steds i Israel, hvor han har haft sit Ophold, kommer til det Sted, HERREN udvælger det står ham frit for at komme, hvis han vil
If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel [God prevails], where he lives as a foreigner, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which Adonai shall choose;
7 må han gøre Præstetjeneste i HERREN sin Guds Navn, lige så vel som alle hans Brødre, de andre Leviter, der står for HERRENs Åsyn der.
then he shall minister in the name of Adonai his God, as all his brothers the Levites [Descendants of United with] do, who stand there before Adonai.
8 De skal nyde samme Ret, fraregnet hvad enhver er kommet til ved Salg af sin Fædrenearv.
They shall have like portions to eat, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions.
9 Når du kommer ind i det Land, HERREN din Gud vil give dig, må du ikke lære at efterligne disse Folks Vederstyggeligheder.
When you have come into the land which Adonai your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the abominations of those nations.
10 Der må ingen findes hos dig, som lader sin Søn eller datter gå igennem. Ilden, ingen, som driver Spådomskunst, tager Varsler, er Sandsiger eller øver Trolddom,
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 practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
11 ingen, som foretager Besværgelse eller gør Spørgsmål til Genfærd og Sandsigerånder og henvender sig til de døde;
or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a sorcerer, or a necromancer.
12 thi enhver, der gør sligt, er HERREN vederstyggelig, og for disse Vederstyggeligheders Skyld er det, at HERREN din Gud driver dem bort foran dig.
For whoever does these things is detestable to Adonai. Because of these abominations, Adonai your God drives them out from before you.
13 Ustraffelig skal du være for HERREN din Gud.
You shall be perfect with Adonai your God.
14 Thi disse Folk, som du skal drive bort, hører på dem, der tager Varsler og driver Spådomskunst; men sligt har HERREN din Gud ikke tilladt dig.
For these nations that you shall dispossess sh'ma ·hear obey· those who practice sorcery and to diviners; but as for you, Adonai your God has not allowed you so to do.
15 HERREN din Gud vil lade en Profet som mig fremstå af din Midte, af dine Brødre; ham skal I høre på.
Adonai your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall sh'ma ·hear obey· him.
16 Således udbad du dig det jo af HERREN din Gud ved Horeb, den Dag I var forsamlede, da du sagde: "Lad mig ikke mere høre HERREN min Guds Røst og se denne vældige Ild, at jeg ikke skal dø!"
This is according to all that you desired of Adonai your God in Horeb [Desert] in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not sh'ma ·hear obey· again Adonai my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.”
17 Da sagde HERREN til mig: "De har talt rettelig!
Adonai said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.
18 Jeg vil lade en Profet som dig fremstå for dem af deres Brødre og lægge mine Ord i hans Mund, og han skal sige dem alt, hvad jeg byder ham!
I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall enjoin him.
19 Og enhver, der ikke vil høre mine Ord, som han taler i mit Navn, ham vil jeg kræve til Regnskab.
Whoever does not honor the words of the Prophet will give an account to God. The prophet's words are equal authority to God's words. It shall happen, that whoever will not sh'ma ·hear obey· my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 Men den Profet, der formaster sig til at tale noget i mit Navn, som jeg ikke har pålagt ham at tale, eller taler i en anden Guds Navn, den Profet skal dø!"
But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not enjoined him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other deities, that same prophet shall die.”
21 Og hvis du tænker ved dig selv: "Hvorledes skal vi kende det Ord, HERREN ikke har talt?"
You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which Adonai has not spoken?”
22 så vid: Hvad en Profet taler i HERRENs Navn, uden at det sker og indtræffer, det er noget, HERREN ikke har talt. I Formastelighed har Profeten udtalt det, og du skal ikke være bange for ham!
When a prophet speaks in Adonai’s name, if the thing does not follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Adonai has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.
