< Deuteronomy 18 >
1 The Levitical priests, in fact the whole tribe of Levi, will not have a share in the land allotment with the other Israelites. They are to eat from the food offerings presented to the Lord—that is what they are entitled to receive.
Àwọn àlùfáà tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Lefi, àní gbogbo ẹ̀yà Lefi, wọn kì yóò ní ìpín tàbí ogún láàrín Israẹli, wọn yóò máa jẹ nínú ọrẹ ẹbọ tí a fi iná ṣe sí Olúwa, nítorí òun ni ogún un tiwọn.
2 While they don't own land among the other tribes, the Lord takes care of them, as he promised.
Wọn kì yóò ní ìní láàrín àwọn arákùnrin wọn; Olúwa ni yóò jẹ́ ìní i tiwọn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe ìlérí fún wọn.
3 The priests' share of a sacrifice of a bull or a sheep that is brought by the people is as follows. The priests are to be given the shoulder, the jaw, and the insides.
Gbogbo èyí ni yóò jẹ́ ìpín àwọn àlùfáà láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn tí ó fi akọ màlúù tàbí àgùntàn rú ẹbọ; wọn yóò fi èjìká àti ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́ méjèèjì àti gbogbo inú fún àlùfáà.
4 You are to provide them with the firstfruits of your grain, new wine, and olive oil, as well as the first wool sheared from your flock.
Àkọ́so irúgbìn ọkà rẹ, ti wáìnì àti ti òróró rẹ, àti àkọ́rẹ́ irun àgùntàn rẹ ni ìwọ yóò fi fún wọn.
5 For the Lord your God has chosen Levi and his descendants from all your tribes to stand before him and serve in his name forever.
Nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ti yàn wọ́n àti àwọn ọmọ wọn láti inú gbogbo ẹ̀yà láti dúró àti láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ní orúkọ Olúwa títí láé.
6 If a Levite is convinced he should move from any Israelite town and goes to the place the Lord will choose,
Tí ọmọ Lefi kan bá sì wá láti ibikíbi nínú àwọn ìlú u yín ní Israẹli, níbi tí ó ń gbé ṣe àtìpó, tí ó sì wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ sí ibi tí Olúwa yóò yàn.
7 then he shall be allowed to serve in the name of the Lord his God like all his fellow Levites who stand there in service before the Lord.
Nígbà náà ni ó lè máa ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ní orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ọmọ Lefi arákùnrin rẹ̀ ti ń dúró ṣe iṣẹ́ ìsìn níwájú Olúwa níbẹ̀.
8 They will all receive the same food allowances, despite him having received money from the sale of his father's property.
Wọn yóò ní ìpín kan láti jẹ, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ó ti gba owó nípa títa ogún baba rẹ̀.
9 Once you enter the country the Lord your God is giving you, don't copy the offensive ways of the nations there.
Nígbà tí o bá wọ ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò fi fún ọ, ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ kọ́ láti tẹ̀lé àwọn ọ̀nà ìríra àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè náà tí ó wà níbẹ̀.
10 There should be no one who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, practices divination or fortune-telling, uses magic or sorcery,
Má ṣe jẹ́ kí a rí ẹnikẹ́ni láàrín yín tí ó fi ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tàbí ọmọ rẹ̀ obìnrin la iná já (fi ọmọ rẹ rú ẹbọ) kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe lọ fọ àfọ̀ṣẹ, tàbí ṣẹ́ oṣó, tàbí túmọ̀ àwọn àmì nǹkan tí ń bọ̀, tàbí àjẹ́,
11 practices witchcraft, visits a medium or spiritist, or communicates with the dead. Anyone does such things offends the Lord.
tàbí afògèdè, tàbí jẹ́ a bá iwin gbìmọ̀ tàbí oṣó tàbí abókùúsọ̀rọ̀.
12 It's because of these offensive things that the Lord your God is driving out the nations before you.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tó bá ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ìríra sí Olúwa, àti nítorí àwọn ìwà ìríra wọ̀nyí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò fi lé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí jáde kúrò níwájú rẹ.
13 You are to be innocent of such things in the presence of the Lord your God.
O ní láti jẹ́ aláìlẹ́gàn níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ.
14 Even though these nations, whose land you will occupy, listen to magicians and fortune-tellers, the Lord your God forbids you to do so.
Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ìwọ yóò gba ilẹ̀ tí wọ́n ń gbé, wọ́n fetí sí tí àwọn tí ó ń ṣe oṣó tàbí ṣe àfọ̀ṣẹ. Ṣùgbọ́n, ní ti ìwọ, Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ kò fi ààyè gbà ọ́ láti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
15 The Lord your God will send you a prophet like me from your people. You must listen to him.
Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò gbé wòlíì kan dìde gẹ́gẹ́ bí èmi láàrín àwọn arákùnrin rẹ. Tìrẹ ni kí o gbọ́.
16 Remember what you told the Lord your God at Horeb when you were all assembled there. You said, “Please don't let us go on hearing the Lord our God speak to us, or see this terrifying fire anymore! Otherwise we're going to die!”
Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí ìwọ béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ní Horebu ní ọjọ́ àjọ, nígbà tí ìwọ wí pé, “Kí àwa má ṣe gbọ́ ohùn Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa tàbí rí iná ńlá yìí mọ́. Bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ àwa yóò kú.”
17 Then the Lord told me, “They are right in what they're saying.
Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Ohun tí wọ́n sọ dára.
18 I'm going to send them a prophet like you from their people. I will give him my messages, and he will tell them everything I order him to say.
Èmi yóò gbé wòlíì kan dìde fún wọn láàrín àwọn arákùnrin wọn bí ìwọ, Èmi yóò fi ọ̀rọ̀ mi sí i ní ẹnu, yóò sì sọ fún wọn gbogbo ohun tí mo ti paláṣẹ fún un.
19 I will deal with anyone who does not listen to my message that the prophet speaks in my name.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí kò bá sì tẹ́tí sí ọ̀rọ̀ mi tí wòlíì náà yóò sọ ní orúkọ mi, èmi fúnra à mi yóò sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
20 However, if any prophet claims to be delivering a message in my name that I have not ordered him to give, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must be executed.”
Ṣùgbọ́n bí wòlíì kan bá kùgbù sọ ọ̀rọ̀ kan tí èmi kò paláṣẹ fún un láti sọ ní orúkọ mi tàbí wòlíì tí ó sọ̀rọ̀ ní orúkọ ọlọ́run mìíràn, irú wòlíì bẹ́ẹ̀ ní láti kú.”
21 You may be wondering, “How can we be sure that a message hasn't come from the Lord?”
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ lè wí ní ọkàn rẹ pé, “Báwo ni àwa yóò ṣe mọ ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa kò sọ?”
22 When a prophet speaks in the Lord's name and what he says doesn't happen or come true, then that is a not a message from the Lord. The prophet has spoken with contempt for the Lord. Don't be intimidated by him.
Nígbà tí ohun tí wòlíì bá sọ ní orúkọ Olúwa kò bá wá sí ìmúṣẹ tàbí jẹ́ òtítọ́, ìyẹn ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa kò sọ, irú wòlíì bẹ́ẹ̀ tí sọ láìwádìí. Kí ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
