< Deuteronomy 18 >
1 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.
οὐκ ἔσται τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν τοῖς Λευίταις ὅλῃ φυλῇ Λευι μερὶς οὐδὲ κλῆρος μετὰ Ισραηλ καρπώματα κυρίου ὁ κλῆρος αὐτῶν φάγονται αὐτά
2 They shall have no inheritance among their brothers. The LORD is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
κλῆρος δὲ οὐκ ἔσται αὐτοῖς ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν κύριος αὐτὸς κλῆρος αὐτοῦ καθότι εἶπεν αὐτῷ
3 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.
καὶ αὕτη ἡ κρίσις τῶν ἱερέων τὰ παρὰ τοῦ λαοῦ παρὰ τῶν θυόντων τὰ θύματα ἐάν τε μόσχον ἐάν τε πρόβατον καὶ δώσει τῷ ἱερεῖ τὸν βραχίονα καὶ τὰ σιαγόνια καὶ τὸ ἔνυστρον
4 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.
καὶ τὰς ἀπαρχὰς τοῦ σίτου σου καὶ τοῦ οἴνου σου καὶ τοῦ ἐλαίου σου καὶ τὴν ἀπαρχὴν τῶν κουρῶν τῶν προβάτων σου δώσεις αὐτῷ
5 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.
ὅτι αὐτὸν ἐξελέξατο κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐκ πασῶν τῶν φυλῶν σου παρεστάναι ἔναντι κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου λειτουργεῖν καὶ εὐλογεῖν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ
6 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,
ἐὰν δὲ παραγένηται ὁ Λευίτης ἐκ μιᾶς τῶν πόλεων ὑμῶν ἐκ πάντων τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ οὗ αὐτὸς παροικεῖ καθότι ἐπιθυμεῖ ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν ἂν ἐκλέξηται κύριος
7 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.
καὶ λειτουργήσει τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ πάντες οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ οἱ Λευῖται οἱ παρεστηκότες ἐκεῖ ἔναντι κυρίου
8 They shall have like portions to eat, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions.
μερίδα μεμερισμένην φάγεται πλὴν τῆς πράσεως τῆς κατὰ πατριάν
9 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.
ἐὰν δὲ εἰσέλθῃς εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν κύριος ὁ θεός σου δίδωσίν σοι οὐ μαθήσῃ ποιεῖν κατὰ τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ἐθνῶν ἐκείνων
10 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,
οὐχ εὑρεθήσεται ἐν σοὶ περικαθαίρων τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἢ τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ ἐν πυρί μαντευόμενος μαντείαν κληδονιζόμενος καὶ οἰωνιζόμενος φαρμακός
11 or a charmer, or someone who consults with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
ἐπαείδων ἐπαοιδήν ἐγγαστρίμυθος καὶ τερατοσκόπος ἐπερωτῶν τοὺς νεκρούς
12 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.
ἔστιν γὰρ βδέλυγμα κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου πᾶς ποιῶν ταῦτα ἕνεκεν γὰρ τῶν βδελυγμάτων τούτων κύριος ἐξολεθρεύσει αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ σοῦ
13 You shall be blameless with the LORD your God.
τέλειος ἔσῃ ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου
14 For these nations that you shall dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery and to diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you so to do.
τὰ γὰρ ἔθνη ταῦτα οὓς σὺ κατακληρονομεῖς αὐτούς οὗτοι κληδόνων καὶ μαντειῶν ἀκούσονται σοὶ δὲ οὐχ οὕτως ἔδωκεν κύριος ὁ θεός σου
15 The LORD your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.
προφήτην ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου ὡς ἐμὲ ἀναστήσει σοι κύριος ὁ θεός σου αὐτοῦ ἀκούσεσθε
16 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.”
κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ᾐτήσω παρὰ κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου ἐν Χωρηβ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς ἐκκλησίας λέγοντες οὐ προσθήσομεν ἀκοῦσαι τὴν φωνὴν κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ τὸ πῦρ τὸ μέγα τοῦτο οὐκ ὀψόμεθα ἔτι οὐδὲ μὴ ἀποθάνωμεν
17 The LORD said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.
καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρός με ὀρθῶς πάντα ὅσα ἐλάλησαν
18 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 command him.
προφήτην ἀναστήσω αὐτοῖς ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν ὥσπερ σὲ καὶ δώσω τὸ ῥῆμά μου ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ καὶ λαλήσει αὐτοῖς καθότι ἂν ἐντείλωμαι αὐτῷ
19 It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὃς ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσῃ ὅσα ἐὰν λαλήσῃ ὁ προφήτης ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου ἐγὼ ἐκδικήσω ἐξ αὐτοῦ
20 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.”
πλὴν ὁ προφήτης ὃς ἂν ἀσεβήσῃ λαλῆσαι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου ῥῆμα ὃ οὐ προσέταξα λαλῆσαι καὶ ὃς ἂν λαλήσῃ ἐπ’ ὀνόματι θεῶν ἑτέρων ἀποθανεῖται ὁ προφήτης ἐκεῖνος
21 You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?”
ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου πῶς γνωσόμεθα τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ οὐκ ἐλάλησεν κύριος
22 When a prophet speaks in the LORD’s name, if the thing does not 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.
ὅσα ἐὰν λαλήσῃ ὁ προφήτης ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου καὶ μὴ γένηται τὸ ῥῆμα καὶ μὴ συμβῇ τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ οὐκ ἐλάλησεν κύριος ἐν ἀσεβείᾳ ἐλάλησεν ὁ προφήτης ἐκεῖνος οὐκ ἀφέξεσθε αὐτοῦ
