Deuteronomy 18
1 The Levitical priests—indeed the whole tribe of Levi—shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel. They are to eat the offerings made by fire to the LORD; that is their inheritance.
Tsy hanañ’anjara ndra lova am’ Israele ao o mpisoroñe nte-Levio ndra i hene fifokoa’ i Leviy. Fe ho kamae’ iereo ze soroñañe am’ Iehovà, naho ze mete ho anjara’e.
2 Although they have no inheritance among their brothers, the LORD is their inheritance, as He promised them.
Tsy hanan-dova amo rolongo’eo iereo fa Iehovà ro lova’ iareo, amy nitsara’ey.
3 This shall be the priests’ share from the people who offer a sacrifice, whether a bull or a sheep: the priests are to be given the shoulder, the jowls, and the stomach.
Zao ty anjara’o mpisoroñeo boak’ am’ ondatio, hirik’ amo mañenga soroñeo ke bania ke añondry: hatolo’ iereo amy mpisoroñey ty sokataña’e, o valañorà’eo naho ty tsimarano’e.
4 You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the first wool sheared from your flock.
Ty lengom-boa’ o mahakama’oo naho ty divai’o naho ty mena’o vaho ty valoham-bolo’ o añondri’oo ty hatolo’o aze.
5 For the LORD your God has chosen Levi and his sons out of all your tribes to stand and minister in His name for all time.
Amy t’ie jinobo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o amo fifokoa’o iabio hijohaña’e hitoroñe nainai’e amy tahina’ Iehovày, ie naho o tarira’eo.
6 Now if a Levite moves from any town of residence throughout Israel and comes in all earnestness to the place the LORD will choose,
Aa naho miavotse an-drova’o ndra aia’aia e Israele ao amy nañialoa’ey, t’i nte-Levy, hionjomb’ amy toetse ho joboñe’ Iehovày mb’eo an-kaliforam-pisalalàn-tro’e;
7 then he shall serve in the name of the LORD his God like all his fellow Levites who stand there before the LORD.
le ie ro hitoroñe amy tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ey hambañe amo longo’e nte-Levy mpijohañe añatrefa’ Iehovào.
8 They shall eat equal portions, even though he has received money from the sale of his father’s estate.
Hanañ’ anjara mahakama mira am’ iereo re, ho tovo’ ze rinambe’e ami’ty nandetaha’e i lovan-droae’ey.
9 When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you, do not imitate the detestable ways of the nations there.
Ie mivotrak’ an-tane’ atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo, ko tsikombe’o o sata mampangorì’ o fifeheañeoo.
10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, practices divination or conjury, interprets omens, practices sorcery,
Tsy ho oniñe ama’ areo ao ty mpampitoañ’ ana-dahy ndra anak’ ampela añ’afo ao, ndra ty mpisikily, ndra ty mpitoky vìlañe, ndra ty mpañori-binta ndra ty mpamoreke
11 casts spells, consults a medium or spiritist, or inquires of the dead.
ndra ty jinilahy, ndra ty mpampizèke, ndra ty aman-kokolampa, ndra ty mpañontane lolo.
12 For whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD. And because of these detestable things, the LORD your God is driving out the nations before you.
Amy te tiva am’ Iehovà ze manao izay; le i sata tiva rey ty anoiha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o iareo aolo’o mb’eo.
13 You must be blameless before the LORD your God.
Mivañona am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.
14 Though these nations, which you will dispossess, listen to conjurers and diviners, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so.
Toe haoñe’ o rofoko ho tavane’o tane ty mpamoreke naho ty mpisikily, fa ihe, tsy hapo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o hanao izay.
15 The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to him.
Hampitroare’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ho azo ty mpitoky añivo’o ao, boak’ aman-drolongo’o, manahak’ ahy; ie ty ho haoñe’o;
16 This is what you asked of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, “Let us not hear the voice of the LORD our God or see this great fire anymore, so that we will not die!”
ty amo hene nihalalie’o am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o e Korebe añe amy andro i fivoribeiio ami’ty hoe: Ee tsy ho tsanoñeko ka ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko ndra hahatrea o afo jabajaba roke, tsy hivetrahako.
17 Then the LORD said to me, “They have spoken well.
Le inao ty natoi’ Iehovà ahy: Noko i entañe nitaroñe’ iereoy.
18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.
Aa le hatroako ho a’ iareo ty mpitoky hambañe ama’o boak’ amo longo’ iareoo; hajoko am-palie’e ao o fivolakoo le ho tsarae’e am’ iereo ze afantoko ama’e.
19 And I will hold accountable anyone who does not listen to My words that the prophet speaks in My name.
Ie amy zao, hanañako kabò ze tsy mañaoñe o fivolako ho tsarae’e ami’ty añarakoo.
20 But if any prophet dares to speak a message in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or to speak in the name of other gods, that prophet must be put to death.”
Le ze mpitoky mieva misaontsy ami’ty añarako ie tsy nililiako hisaontsy; he hivolañe ami’ty añaran’ drahare ila’e, le havetrake i mpitoky zay.
21 You may ask in your heart, “How can we recognize a message that the LORD has not spoken?”
Hera hatao’o ty hoe an-troke ao: Aia ty haharendreha’ay ty entañe tsy nisaontsie’ Iehovà?
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD and the message does not come to pass or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.
Naho misaontsy amy tahina’ Iehovà ty mpitoky f’ie tsy pok’eo mbore tsy mifetsake, le tsy nitsarae’ Iehovà i entañe zay. Nanao ty nisatri’e avao i mpitokiy, ko ihembaña’o.
