Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests and Levites, and all that are of the same tribe, shall have no part nor inheritance with the rest of Israel, because they shall eat the sacrifices of the Lord, and his oblations,
Vaihmanaw, Levih miphunnaw pueng Isarelnaw hoi cungtalah râw tawn awh mahoeh. Ahnimouh teh BAWIPA koe hmai hoi thuengnae a hamnaw hah a ca awh han.
2 And they shall receive nothing else. of the possession of their brethren: for the Lord himself is their inheritance, as he hath said to them.
Ahnimouh teh a hmaunawnghanaw hoi râw rei coe awh mahoeh. BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e patetlah ahnimae râw teh ao.
3 This shall be the priest’s due from the people, and from them that offer victims: whether they sacrifice an ox, or a sheep, they shall give to the priest the shoulder and the breast:
Taminaw ni thuengnae a sak awh toteh, maito hai thoseh, tu hai thoseh, vaihmanaw e ham aloung vang, a tangboung roi, a ruennaw hai thoseh,
4 The firstfruits also of corn, of wine, and of oil, and a part of the wool from the shearing of their sheep.
ahmaloe na a e cang, misur, satui hoi tumuen na ngaw e naw hah na poe han.
5 For the Lord thy God hath chosen him of all thy tribes, to stand and to minister to the name of the Lord, him and his sons for ever.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni koehoi a ca catounnaw teh BAWIPA min lahoi a thaw pou tawk nahanelah, na BAWIPA Cathut ni na miphunnaw thung dawkvah ahni hah a rawi toe.
6 If a Levite go out of any one of the cities throughout all Israel, in which he dwelleth, and have a longing mind to come to the place which the Lord shall choose,
Isarel kho dawk kaawm e Levih tami buetbuet touh ni BAWIPA Cathut ni a rawi e hmuen koe bari laihoi tho pawiteh,
7 He shall minister in the name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, that shall stand at that time before the Lord.
BAWIPA hmalah hmuen ka tawn tangcoung e Levihnaw patetvanlah, BAWIPA Cathut min lahoi athaw hah a tawk han.
8 He shall receive the same portion of food that the rest do: besides that which is due to him in his own city, by succession from his fathers.
Ama e râw a yo teh a hmu e hno touk laipalah, Levihnaw hoi reikâvan lah a coe van han.
9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God shall give thee, beware lest thou have a mind to imitate the abominations of those nations.
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram na pha awh toteh, hote ram dawk kaawm e taminaw ni a sak awh e panuettho e hno hah na sak awh mahoeh.
10 Neither let there be found among you any one that shall expiate his son or daughter, making them to pass through the fire: or that consulteth soothsayers, or observeth dreams and omens, neither let there be any wizard,
Nangmouh thung dawk a canaw hah hmai hoi ka thueng e, ka tho hane naw hah ama pouk lahoi ka dei e, kutkhetkathoum e, kahawihoehe thoumthainae ka sak e,
11 Nor charmer, nor any one that consulteth pythonic spirits, or fortune tellers, or that seeketh the truth from the dead.
ân ka thoum e, kahrai kamyawng e, hmaui lah kaawm e, tami kadout ka pacei e tami buet touh boehai awm mahoeh.
12 For the Lord abhorreth all these things, and for these abominations he will destroy them at thy coming.
Hottelah ka sak e pueng teh BAWIPA Cathut ni a panuet. Hote panuettho e hnonaw kecu dawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut ni hote miphunnaw teh nang na hmalah hoi a pâlei toe.
13 Thou shalt be perfect, and without spot before the Lord thy God.
Nang teh, BAWIPA Cathut hmalah toun kaawm hoeh lah na o awh han.
14 These nations, whose land thou shalt possess, hearken to soothsayers and diviners: but thou art otherwise instructed by the Lord thy God.
Na uk e taminaw teh kutkhetkathoum e, ka tho hane naw hah ama pouk lahoi kadeinaw e lawk hah ouk a ngâi awh. Nang teh hottelah na sak nahanelah na BAWIPA Cathut ni kâ na poe hoeh.
15 The Lord thy God will raise up to thee a PROPHET of thy nation and of thy brethren like unto me: him thou shalt hear:
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni, nange na hmaunawnghanaw thung dawk hoi, kai patetlah e profet buet touh nangmouh hanelah a tâco sak han. Hote profet lawk hah na ngâi awh han.
16 As thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the assembly was gathered together, and saidst: Let me not hear any more the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see any more this exceeding great fire, lest I die.
Horeb vah na kamkhuengnae hnin navah nang ni, BAWIPA Cathut e a lawk hah bout ka thai awh hanh lawiseh. Hote kalenpounge hmai hah kahmawt awh hanh lawiseh. Ka due han doeh toe telah BAWIPA Cathut hmalah na kâhei e patetlah,
17 And the Lord said to me: They have spoken all things well.
BAWIPA ni, ahnimae lawk teh ahawi doeh.
18 I will raise them up a prophet out of the midst of their brethren like to thee: and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
Amamae hmaunawngha thung dawkvah, ahnimouh hanelah profet buet touh ka tâco sak vaiteh, ahnie pahni dawk, ka lawknaw hah ka hruek pouh vaiteh, ahni ni patuen a dei pouh han.
19 And he that will not hear his words, which he shall speak in my name, I will be the revenger.
Hote profet ni ka min lahoi a dei e lawk hah tarawi laipalah kaawm e teh, kai ni ka yue han.
20 But the prophet, who being corrupted with pride, shall speak in my name things that I did not command him to say, or in the name of strange gods, shall be slain.
Kai ni lawk ka poe laipalah, ka min lahoi ka dei e profet hoehpawiteh, alouke cathut min lahoi ka dei e profet teh kadout lah thei han telah kai ni kâ na poe.
21 And if in silent thought thou answer: How shall I know the word that the Lord hath not spoken?
Nang ni, BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e hah bangtelah hoi maw ka panue han telah na pouk pawiteh,
22 Thou shalt have this sign: Whatsoever that same prophet foretelleth in the name of the Lord, and it cometh not to pass: that thing the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath forged it by the pride of his mind: and therefore thou shalt not fear him.
profet ni BAWIPA min lahoi a dei e patetlah phat hoeh, a dei lawk kuep hoehpawiteh, hote lawk teh BAWIPA ni a dei e nahoeh. A taranhawi lahoi a dei e doeh. Ahni hah na taket mahoeh.
