Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests, the Levites, [and] the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: Jehovah's offerings by fire, and his inheritance shall they eat,
“Prèt Levit yo, tout tribi Lévi a, pa pou gen pati oswa eritaj avèk Israël. Yo va manje ofrann pa dife SENYÈ a ki se pati pa Li.
2 but they shall have no inheritance among their brethren: Jehovah, he is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
Yo pa pou gen eritaj pami Izrayelit parèy yo. SENYÈ a se eritaj pa yo, jan Li te pwomèt yo a.
3 And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that sacrifice a sacrifice, whether ox, or sheep: they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the jawbones, and the maw.
“Men sa va dwa prèt yo ke moun yo dwe fè, ki soti nan sila ki ofri an sakrifis yo, kit yon bèf, oswa yon mouton; ladann, yo va bay prèt la zepòl la avèk de machwè yo, ak tout vant lan.
4 The firstfruits [also] of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstfruits of the shearing of thy sheep, shalt thou give him;
Nou va ba li premye fwi a sereyal yo, diven nèf nou, lwil nou, ak premye lenn mouton nou yo.
5 for Jehovah thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, that he may stand to serve in the name of Jehovah, he and his sons continually.
Paske SENYÈ a te chwazi li ak fis li yo pami tout tribi nou yo pou kanpe e sèvi nan non SENYÈ a jis pou tout tan.
6 And if the Levite shall come from one of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and shall come according to all the desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah will choose,
“Alò, si yon Levit sòti nan youn nan vil nou yo atravè tout Israël kote li rete a, e li vini nenpòt lè li vle kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi a,
7 and shall serve in the name of Jehovah his God, as all his brethren the Levites that stand there before Jehovah,
alò, li va sèvi nan non SENYÈ a, Bondye li a, tankou tout Levit parèy li yo ki kanpe la devan SENYÈ a.
8 — they shall have like portions to eat, besides that which he hath sold of his patrimony.
Li dwe gen pòsyon egal nan benefis pa yo a, menmlè li te resevwa nan kòb vant posesyon fanmi an.
9 When thou art come into the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.
“Lè nou antre nan tè ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an bannou an, nou p ap aprann imite bagay abominab a nasyon sa yo.
10 There shall not be found among you he that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, that useth divination, that useth auguries, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
Pa kite yo jwenn okenn pami nou ki sakrifye fis yo oswa fi yo nan dife, youn pami nou ki pratike divinasyon ak maji, ki fè entèpretasyon sign, oswa youn pami nou ki fè wanga,
11 or a charmer, or one that inquireth of a spirit of Python, or a soothsayer, or one that consulteth the dead.
ni youn pami nou ki fè cham, k ap prale nan tab tounant, moun k ap rele lespri yo vin parèt, ni youn pami nou ki rele mò yo monte.
12 For every one that doeth these things is an abomination to Jehovah, and because of these abominations Jehovah thy God doth dispossess them from before thee.
Paske nenpòt moun ki fè bagay sa yo abominab a SENYÈ a. Akoz bagay abominab sa yo, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va chase yo sòti devan nou.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with Jehovah thy God.
“Fòk nou san fot devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
14 For these nations, which thou shalt dispossess, hearkened unto those that use auguries, and that use divination; but as for thee, Jehovah thy God hath not suffered thee [to do] so.
“Paske nasyon sa yo ke nou va deplase yo, koute konsèy a sila ki pratike maji ak sila ki fè divinasyon yo; men pou nou, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pa t pèmèt ke nou fè sa.
15 Jehovah thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him shall ye hearken;
SENYÈ Bondye nou an, va fè leve nan mitan nou yon pwofèt tankou mwen, pami Izrayelit parèy nou yo, nou va koute li.
16 according to all that thou desiredst of Jehovah thy God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Jehovah my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
Paske se sa nou te mande SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nan mòn Horeb nan jou asanble a, e nou te di: ‘Annou pa tande ankò vwa a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, annou pa wè gran dife sa a ankò, oswa nou va mouri.’
17 And Jehovah said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
“SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Yo te pale byen.
18 A prophet will I raise up unto them from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
“‘Mwen va fè leve yon pwofèt soti nan mitan Izrayelit parèy yo tankou ou, Mwen va mete pawòl Mwen nan bouch li, e li va pale avèk yo tout sa ke Mwen kòmande li.
19 And it shall come to pass that the man who hearkeneth not unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
Li va vin rive ke nenpòt moun ki pa koute pawòl Mwen yo ke li va pale nan non Mwen, Mwen Menm, Mwen va egzije sa de li menm.
20 But the prophet who shall presume to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.
Men pwofèt ki pale yon mo avèk awogans nan non Mwen, mo Mwen pa t kòmande li pale, oswa ke li pale nan non a lòt dye yo, pwofèt sila a va mouri.’
21 And if thou say in thy heart, How shall we know the word that Jehovah hath not spoken?
“Nou kapab di nan kè nou: ‘Kijan nou va konnen pawòl ke SENYÈ a pa t pale?’
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, and the thing followeth not, nor cometh to pass, that is the word which Jehovah hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: be not afraid of him.
Lè yon pwofèt pale nan non SENYÈ a, si bagay la pa fèt, oswa pa rive vrè, se bagay sa ke SENYÈ a pa t pale a. Pwofèt la te pale li avèk awogans. Nou pa pou pè li.
