Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests, the Levites, that is, all the tribe of Levi, will have no part or heritage with Israel: their food and their heritage will be the offerings of the Lord made by fire.
祭司たるレビ人およびレビの支派は都てイスラエルの中に分なく產業なし彼らはヱホバの火祭の品とその產業の物を食ふべし
2 And they will have no heritage among their countrymen: the Lord is their heritage, as he has said to them.
彼らはその兄弟の中間に產業を有じヱホバこれが產業たるたり即ちその曾て之に言たまひしが如し
3 And this is to be the priests' right: those who make an offering of a sheep or an ox are to give to the priest the top part of the leg and the two sides of the head and the stomach.
祭司が民より受べき分は是なり即ち凡て犠牲を献ぐる者は牛にもあれ羊にもあれその肩と兩方の頬と胃とを祭司に與ふべし
4 And in addition you are to give him the first of your grain and wine and oil, and the first wool cut from your sheep.
また汝の穀物と酒と油の初および羊の毛の初をも之にあたふべし
5 For he, and his sons after him for ever, have been marked out by the Lord your God from all your tribes, to do the work of priests in the name of the Lord.
其は汝の神ヱホバ汝の諸の支派の中より彼を選び出し彼とその子孫をして永くヱホバの名をもて立て奉事をなさしめたまへばなり
6 And if a Levite, moved by a strong desire, comes from any town in all Israel where he is living to the place marked out by the Lord;
レビ人はイスラエルの全地の中何の處に居る者にもあれその寄寓たる汝の邑を出てヱホバの選びたま處に到るあらば
7 Then he will do the work of a priest in the name of the Lord his God, with all his brothers the Levites who are there before the Lord.
その人はヱホバの前に侍るその諸兄弟のレビ人とおなじくその神ヱホバの名をもて奉事をなすことを得べし
8 His food will be the same as theirs, in addition to what has come to him as the price of his property.
その人の得て食ふ分は彼らと同じ但しその父の遺業を賣て獲たる物はこの外に彼に屬す
9 When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, do not take as your example the disgusting ways of those nations.
汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふ池にいたるに及びて汝その國々の民の憎むべき行爲を倣ひ行ふなかれ
10 Let there not be seen among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter go through the fire, or anyone using secret arts, or a maker of strange sounds, or a reader of signs, or any wonder-worker,
汝らの中間にその男子女子をして火の中を通らしむる者あるべからずまた卜筮する者邪法を行なふ者禁厭する者魔術を使ふ者
11 Or anyone using secret force on people, or putting questions to a spirit, or having secret knowledge, or going to the dead for directions.
法印を結ぶ者憑鬼する者巫覡の業をなす者死人に詢ことをする者あるべからず
12 For all who do such things are disgusting to the Lord; and because of these disgusting things the Lord your God is driving them out before you.
凡て是等の事を爲す者はヱホバこれを憎たまふ汝の神ヱホバが彼らを汝の前より逐はらひたまひしも是等の憎むべき事のありしに因てなり
13 You are to be upright in heart before the Lord your God.
汝の神ヱホバの前に汝完き者たれ
14 For these nations, whose land you are taking, give attention to readers of signs and to those using secret arts: but the Lord your God will not let you do so.
汝が逐はらふ故の國々の民は邪法師卜筮師などに聽ことをなせり然ど汝には汝の神ヱホバ然する事を許したまはず
15 The Lord your God will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to him;
汝の神ヱホバ汝の中汝の兄弟の中より我のごとき一箇の預言者を汝のために興したまはん汝ら之に聽ことをすべし
16 In answer to the request you made to the Lord your God in Horeb on the day of the great meeting, when you said, Let not the voice of the Lord my God come to my ears again, and let me not see this great fire any more, or death will overtake me.
是まったく汝が集會の日にホレブにおいて汝の神ヱホバに求めたる所なり即ち汝言けらく我をして重てこの我神ヱホバの聲を聞しむる勿れまた重てこの大なる火を見さする勿れ恐くは我死んと
17 Then the Lord said to me, What they have said is well said.
是においてヱホバ我に言たまひけるは彼らの言る所は善し
18 I will give them a prophet from among themselves, like you, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he will say to them whatever I give him orders to say.
我かれら兄弟の中より汝のごとき一箇の預言者を彼らのために興し我言をその口に授けん我が彼に命ずる言を彼ことごとく彼らに告べし
19 And whoever does not give ear to my words which he will say in my name, will be responsible to me.
凡て彼が吾名をもて語るところの吾言に聽したがはざる者は我これを罰せん
20 But the prophet who takes it on himself to say words in my name which I have not given him orders to say, or who says anything in the name of other gods, will come to his death.
但し預言者もし我が語れと命ぜざる言を吾名をもて縦肆に語りまたは他の神々の名をもて語ることを爲すならばその預言者は殺さるべし
21 And if you say in your hearts, How are we to be certain that the word does not come from the Lord?
汝あるひは心に謂ん我ら如何にしてその言のヱホバの言たまふ者にあらざるを知んと
22 When a prophet makes a statement in the name of the Lord, if what he says does not take place and his words do not come true, then his word is not the word of the Lord: the words of the prophet were said in the pride of his heart, and you are to have no fear of him.
然ば若し預言者ありてヱホバの名をもて語ることをなすにその言就ずまた效あらざる時は是ヱホバの語りたまふ言にあらずしてその預言者が縦肆に語るところなり汝その預言者を畏るるに及ばす
