< Deuteronomy 18 >
1 “The priests and the Levites, and all who are from the same tribe, shall have no portion or inheritance with the rest of Israel. For they shall eat the sacrifices of the Lord and his oblations.
Thempu hon hiche hi nageldoh jing diu ahi, ajeh chu Israel insung mijouse lah a Levi insung kailhah hi chenna ding gam chang lou ahiuve. Hijeh achu Thempua pang Levi mite hon Pakai, Pathen adia ki katdoh chengse hi chang diu ahi.
2 And they shall receive nothing else from the possession of their brothers. For the Lord himself is their inheritance, just as he said to them.
Israel nam sunga kona gamtum neilou ahiuvin, Pakai hi amaho dinga agoulu penu ahitan, hichu aheng uva Pakai kitepna ahi.
3 This shall be the recompense for the priests from the people, and from those who offer victims, whether they will immolate an ox or a sheep. They shall give to the priest the shoulder and the breast,
Hichengse hi mihon gancha dinga ahin choi lah a thempu ho chan ding chu ahi: bongchal ahin kelngoi hijongleh amahon adah akeng, agilpi chengse chu thempupa henga apeh lut diu ahi.
4 the first-fruits of grain, wine, and oil, and a portion of the wool from the shearing of the sheep.
Nanghon jong na lou sohgao lhung masaho, lengpitwi, chang, thaotwi chule nakelngoi mul kivou masapen chu neh diu ahi.
5 For the Lord your God himself has chosen him out of all your tribes, so that he may stand and minister to the name of the Lord, him and his sons, forever.
Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in phung jouse lah a Levi insungmite hi imatih chana ama lhacha a pang dia alhen doh ahi.
6 If a Levite departs from one of the cities, throughout all of Israel, in which he lives, and if he wills and desires to go to the place which the Lord will choose,
Chule Israel mite chenna khopi holah achu Levi miten adeisah laiyu Pathen houna muna ahin lhen doh diu ahi.
7 he shall minister in the name of the Lord his God, as do all his brothers, the Levites, who will be standing at that time in the sight of the Lord.
Levi dangho banga kigela Pakai, Pathen min pana akin bola pang jeng thei diu, chuteng Pakai angsunga natong jing Levi mite banga akin bola pang diu ahi.
8 He shall receive the same portion of food as the rest also receive, besides that which is due to him in his own city, by succession from his fathers.
Ama insungmite akon thilpeh ijat um jongleh, thil ki katdoh jouse aneh khopset aneh thei diu ahi.
9 When you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, be careful that you are not willing to imitate the abominations of those nations.
Nangho Pakai, Pathen in napehnau gamsung nahin jot tenguleh, chingtheiyun hiche gamsunga namtin vaipi chonna dan thet umtah tah hokhu najui louhel diu ahi.
10 Do not let there be found among you one who would purify his son or daughter by leading them through fire, nor one who consults seers, nor one who observes dreams or omens. Do not let there be found among you one who practices the occult,
Nangho lah akona koiman achanu ham achapa ham khat chu meiya agoa kilhaina a aman chah thei louhel ding ahi. Doithu hihen, phunsanna hihen, ipidoi mangcha hijongleh,
11 nor one who uses spells, nor one who consults demonic spirits, nor a diviner, nor one who seeks the truth from the dead.
buma bolna hihen, thilha akona gaobol theina hihen, mitphel doithepna chule thilha akona gaothem kiti jong khat jeng cha nalah uva kona um thei lou ding ahi.
12 For the Lord abominates all these things. And, because of these wicked ways, he will destroy them at your arrival.
Hitobanga chon mihem chu Pakaiya dinga thet umtah ahi. Hijeh achu Pakai, Pathen in nangho masanga hiche lai muna cheng ho jouse anadel mang ahi.
13 You shall be perfect and without blemish with the Lord your God.
Chule nangho Pakai, Pathen adia mi kitah nahi teidiu ahi.
14 These nations, whose land you shall possess, they listen to soothsayers and diviners. But you have been otherwise instructed by the Lord your God.
Ajeh chu hiche muna cheng mite hon doithem ho thusei angaiyun, amavang Pakai, Pathen in hitobang hoa na chon diu aphal pon ahi.
15 The Lord your God will raise up for you a PROPHET from your nation and from your brothers, similar to me. You shall listen to him,
Mose'n avelin aseikit in, Israelte lah akona Pakai, Pathen in kei bang banga thempu khat nahin tundoh peh diu ahi. Chuteng nang hon ama thu chu nangaiyuva nakhohsah cheh diu ahi.
16 just as you petitioned of the Lord your God at Horeb, when the assembly was gathered together, and you said: ‘Let me no longer hear the voice of the Lord my God, and let me no longer see this very great fire, lest I die.’
Nanghon Sinai molchunga mipiho kikhop nikhon Pakai, Pathen henga nadei, nangai chan hiti hin naseiyun ahi. Pakai, Pathen awgin leh ama akona meikong kilah chu neijah sah kit hih hel un, ajeh chu hitobang kajah uva kamu uva kona chu keiho ka thilo jeng theiyu ahi, natiuve.
17 And the Lord said to me: ‘They have spoken all these things well.
Chuin Pakaiyin keima henga aseiyin, amahon asei chanu hi adih lheh jeng e, ati.
18 I will raise up a prophet for them, from the midst of their brothers, similar to you. And I will place my words in his mouth, and he will speak to them all the things that I will instruct him.
Chule Pakaiyin aseiyin keiman nasopite lah akona hi nang tobang khat ka tundoh ding, hiche themgaopa kam sunga chu ijakai ka thumop soh kei ding, hichea kona chu keiman ama ka thumop bang banga aman jong mite jouse athupeh son ding ahi.
19 But against anyone who is not willing to listen to his words, which he will speak in my name, I will stand forth as the avenger.
Koi hijongleh hiche themgaopa thusei nah sah lou auma ahileh, amapa chunga chu lhen chilna lhung ding ahi.
20 But if a prophet, having been corrupted by arrogance, chooses to speak, in my name, things which I did not instruct him to say, or to speak in the name of foreign gods, he shall be put to death.
Keima thupeh kal vala chon auma chule pathen limsem thu min pana thusei apang themgao khat tou aum ngei ngeiya ahileh, amapa chunga chu thina lhung teitei ding ahi, tin aseiye.
21 But if, in silent thought, you respond: “How will I be able to recognize a word which the Lord has not spoken?”
Hichea chu nanghon Pakai thusei ahipoi, tia lungopkaina nalung thimsung uva nanei khah uva ahileh,
22 you shall have this sign. If whatever that prophet predicts in the name of the Lord does not happen, then the Lord has not spoken it. Instead, the prophet has formed it through the swelling of his own mind. And for this reason, you shall not fear him.’”
themgao khat in thu aseiya athu seidoh aguilhunva ahilouleh adihlou tengleh, hitobang chu Pathen akon mong ahipoi ti photchetna ahi. Themgaopa chun ama macham chama asei ahin, hitobang themgao chu gin jong nagin louhel diu ahi.
