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.
Priesteriem, Levitiem, visai Levja ciltij lai nav nedz daļas nedz mantības līdz ar Israēli; lai tie ēd no Tā Kunga uguns upuriem un no Viņa mantas daļas.
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.
Un mantības lai tiem nav savu brāļu vidū, Tas Kungs ir viņu mantība, itin kā Viņš uz tiem runājis.
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,
Šī nu lai ir tā priesteru tiesa no tiem ļaudīm, no tiem, kas kādu upuri upurē, lai tas ir vērsis vai avs; priesterim lai dod pleci, abus žokļus un kuņģi.
4 the first-fruits of grain, wine, and oil, and a portion of the wool from the shearing of the sheep.
Savas labības, sava vīna un savas eļļas pirmajus, un pirmajus no savu avju cirpšanas tev būs viņam dot.
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.
Jo Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, viņu ir izredzējis no visām tavām ciltīm, lai tas stāv un kalpo Tā Kunga vārdam, viņš un viņa dēli visu mūžu.
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,
Un ja kāds Levits nāk no kādiem Israēla vārtiem, kur viņš piemīt, un nāk, tā kā viņa dvēselei tīk, uz to vietu, ko Tas Kungs izredzēs,
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.
Un kalpo Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdā, kā visi viņa brāļi, tie Leviti, kas tur Tā Kunga priekšā stāv,
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.
Tad lai tie ēd līdzīgu daļu, pāri par viņu ienākumu no tēvu puses.
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.
Kad tu nāc tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos, tad tev nebūs mācīties darīt pēc šo pagānu negantībām.
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,
Lai tavā starpā netop atrasts, kas savam dēlam vai savai meitai liek iet caur uguni, neviens zīlnieks, ne burvis, ne pūšļotājs, ne riebējs,
11 nor one who uses spells, nor one who consults demonic spirits, nor a diviner, nor one who seeks the truth from the dead.
Ne vārdotājs, ne pareģis, ne pesteļu cienītājs, nedz miroņu vaicātājs.
12 For the Lord abominates all these things. And, because of these wicked ways, he will destroy them at your arrival.
Jo visi, kas to dara, Tam Kungam ir negantība, un šīs negantības dēļ Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tos izdzen tavā priekšā.
13 You shall be perfect and without blemish with the Lord your God.
Bezvainīgam tev būs būt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā.
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.
Jo šās tautas, ko tu izdzīsi, cienī burvjus un zīlniekus, bet tev tā neklājās; tev Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tā nav devis.
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,
Pravieti, kāds es esmu, Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev cels no tava vidus, no taviem brāļiem, - tam jums būs klausīt.
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.’
Pēc visa tā, ko tu esi lūdzies no Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, Horebā, sapulces dienā, sacīdams: es vairs negribu dzirdēt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsi, un negribu vairs redzēt šo lielo uguni, ka nemirstu.
17 And the Lord said to me: ‘They have spoken all these things well.
Tad Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: tas ir labi, ko tie runājuši.
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.
Es tiem celšu pravieti, kāds tu esi, no viņu brāļu vidus, un Es likšu Savu vārdu viņa mutē, un viņš runās uz tiem visu, ko Es tam pavēlēšu.
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.
Un ja kāds neklausīs Maniem vārdiem, ko viņš runās Manā Vārdā, no tā Es to prasīšu.
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.
Bet tas pravietis, kas iedrošinājās runāt Manā Vārdā, ko Es tam neesmu pavēlējis runāt, vai ja tas citu dievu vārdā runās, šim pravietim būs mirt.
21 But if, in silent thought, you respond: “How will I be able to recognize a word which the Lord has not spoken?”
Ja tu tad savā sirdī sacīsi: kā lai pazīstam to vārdu, ko Tas Kungs nav runājis? -
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.’”
Kad tas pravietis Tā Kunga Vārdā runās, un tas vārds nenotiek un nenāk, - tad šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs nav runājis, tas pravietis to ir aplam runājis, tāpēc nebīsties no viņa.
