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.
Duhovniki Lévijevci in ves Lévijev rod ne bodo imeli niti deleža niti dediščine z Izraelom. Jedli bodo Gospodove daritve, narejene z ognjem in [od] njegove dediščine.
2 Although they have no inheritance among their brothers, the LORD is their inheritance, as He promised them.
Zato ne bodo imeli dediščine med svojim brati. Gospod je njihova dediščina, kakor jim je rekel.
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.
In to bo pripadlo duhovniku od ljudstva, od tistih, ki darujejo klavno daritev, bodisi je to vol ali ovca; in duhovniku bodo dali pleče, dve ličnici in vamp.
4 You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the first wool sheared from your flock.
Tudi prve sadove svojega žita, svojega vina, svojega olja in prvo runo svojih ovc mu boš dal.
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.
Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, ga je izbral izmed vseh tvojih rodov, da stoji, da služi v Gospodovem imenu, njemu in njegovim sinovom na veke.
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,
Če pride Lévijevec od katerihkoli izmed tvojih velikih vrat, ven iz vsega Izraela, kjer je začasno bival in pride z vso željo svojega uma na kraj, ki ga bo Gospod izbral,
7 then he shall serve in the name of the LORD his God like all his fellow Levites who stand there before the LORD.
potem bo služil v imenu Gospoda, svojega Boga, kakor počno vsi njegovi bratje Lévijevci, ki stojijo tam pred Gospodom.
8 They shall eat equal portions, even though he has received money from the sale of his father’s estate.
Za jesti bodo imeli podobne obroke, poleg tega, kar pride od prodaje imetja njegovega očeta.
9 When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you, do not imitate the detestable ways of the nations there.
Ko prideš v deželo, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, se ne boš naučil ravnati po gnusobah teh narodov.
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,
Naj ne bo najti med vami nikogar, ki primora svojega sina ali svojo hčer, da gre skozi ogenj ali da uporablja vedeževanje ali astrologa ali uročevalca ali čarovnico
11 casts spells, consults a medium or spiritist, or inquires of the dead.
ali zaklinjevalca ali posvetovalca z osebnimi duhovi ali čarovnika ali rotilca duhov umrlih.
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.
Kajti vsi ti, ki počno te stvari, so gnusoba Gospodu in zaradi teh gnusob jih bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, pognal izpred tebe.
13 You must be blameless before the LORD your God.
Popoln boš z Gospodom, svojim Bogom.
14 Though these nations, which you will dispossess, listen to conjurers and diviners, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so.
Kajti ti narodi, ki se jih boš polastil, so poslušali astrologe in vedeževalce, toda kar se tebe tiče, ti Gospod, tvoj Bog, ni dopustil, da tako počneš.
15 The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to him.
Gospod, tvoj Bog, ti bo iz tvoje srede, izmed tvojih bratov, obudil Preroka, podobnega meni. Njemu boste prisluhnili,
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!”
glede na vse, kar si na Horebu želel od Gospoda, svojega Boga, na dan zbora, rekoč: ›Naj ne poslušam ponovno glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga niti naj ne vidim več tega velikega ognja, da ne umrem.‹
17 Then the LORD said to me, “They have spoken well.
Gospod mi je rekel: ›Dobro so govorili to, kar so govorili.
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.
Vzdignil jim bom preroka izmed njihovih bratov, podobnega tebi in svoje besede bom položil v njegova usta in govoril jim bo vse, kar mu bom zapovedal.
19 And I will hold accountable anyone who does not listen to My words that the prophet speaks in My name.
In zgodilo se bo, da kdorkoli ne bo prisluhnil mojim besedam, ki jih bo govoril v mojem imenu, bom to zahteval od njega.
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.”
Toda prerok, ki si bo predrznil govoriti besedo v mojem imenu, ki mu je nisem zapovedal govoriti ali ki bo govoril v imenu drugih bogov, celo ta prerok bo umrl.‹
21 You may ask in your heart, “How can we recognize a message that the LORD has not spoken?”
In če v svojem srcu rečeš: ›Kako bomo spoznali besedo, ki je Gospod ni govoril?‹
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.
Kadar prerok spregovori v Gospodovem imenu, če stvar ne sledi niti se ne zgodi, to je stvar, ki je Gospod ni rekel, temveč je prerok to prepotentno govoril. Ne boš se ga bal.
