Deuteronomy 18
1 The Priests of the Leuites, and all the tribe of Leui shall haue no part nor inheritace with Israel, but shall eate the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and his inheritance.
Duhovniki Lévijevci in ves Lévijev rod ne bodo imeli niti deleža niti dediščine z Izraelom. Jedli bodo Gospodove daritve, narejene z ognjem in [od] njegove dediščine.
2 Therefore shall they haue no inheritance among their brethren: for the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath sayd vnto them.
Zato ne bodo imeli dediščine med svojim brati. Gospod je njihova dediščina, kakor jim je rekel.
3 And this shalbe the Priests duetie of the people, that they, which offer sacrifice, whether it be bullocke or sheepe, shall giue vnto the Priest the shoulder, and the two cheekes, and the mawe.
In to bo pripadlo duhovniku od ljudstva, od tistih, ki darujejo klavno daritev, bodisi je to vol ali ovca; in duhovniku bodo dali pleče, dve ličnici in vamp.
4 The first fruites also of thy corne, of thy wine, and of thine oyle, and the first of the fleece of thy sheepe shalt thou giue him.
Tudi prve sadove svojega žita, svojega vina, svojega olja in prvo runo svojih ovc mu boš dal.
5 For the Lord thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stande and minister in the Name of the Lord, him, and his sonnes for euer.
Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, ga je izbral izmed vseh tvojih rodov, da stoji, da služi v Gospodovem imenu, njemu in njegovim sinovom na veke.
6 Also when a Leuite shall come out of any of thy cities of all Israel, where hee remained, and come with all the desire of his heart vnto the place, which the Lord shall chuse,
Če pride Lévijevec od katerihkoli izmed tvojih velikih vrat, ven iz vsega Izraela, kjer je začasno bival in pride z vso željo svojega uma na kraj, ki ga bo Gospod izbral,
7 He shall then minister in the Name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Leuites, which remaine there before the Lord.
potem bo služil v imenu Gospoda, svojega Boga, kakor počno vsi njegovi bratje Lévijevci, ki stojijo tam pred Gospodom.
8 They shall haue like portions to eat beside that which commeth of his sale of his patrimonie.
Za jesti bodo imeli podobne obroke, poleg tega, kar pride od prodaje imetja njegovega očeta.
9 When thou shalt come into ye land which the Lord thy God giueth thee, thou shalt not learne to do after ye abominations of those nations.
Ko prideš v deželo, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, se ne boš naučil ravnati po gnusobah teh narodov.
10 Let none be founde among you that maketh his sonne or his daughter to goe thorough the fire, or that vseth witchcraft, or a regarder of times, or a marker of the flying of foules, or a sorcerer,
Naj ne bo najti med vami nikogar, ki primora svojega sina ali svojo hčer, da gre skozi ogenj ali da uporablja vedeževanje ali astrologa ali uročevalca ali čarovnico
11 Or a charmer, or that counselleth with spirits, or a soothsaier, or that asketh counsel at ye dead.
ali zaklinjevalca ali posvetovalca z osebnimi duhovi ali čarovnika ali rotilca duhov umrlih.
12 For all that doe such things are abomination vnto the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doeth cast them out before thee.
Kajti vsi ti, ki počno te stvari, so gnusoba Gospodu in zaradi teh gnusob jih bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, pognal izpred tebe.
13 Thou shalt be vpright therefore with the Lord thy God.
Popoln boš z Gospodom, svojim Bogom.
14 For these nations which thou shalt possesse, hearken vnto those that regarde the times, and vnto sorcerers: as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffred thee so.
Kajti ti narodi, ki se jih boš polastil, so poslušali astrologe in vedeževalce, toda kar se tebe tiče, ti Gospod, tvoj Bog, ni dopustil, da tako počneš.
15 The Lord thy God will raise vp vnto thee a Prophet like vnto me, from among you, euen of thy brethren: vnto him ye shall hearken,
Gospod, tvoj Bog, ti bo iz tvoje srede, izmed tvojih bratov, obudil Preroka, podobnega meni. Njemu boste prisluhnili,
16 According to al that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb, in the day of the assemblie, when thou saidest, Let me heare the voice of my Lord God no more, nor see this great fire any more, that I die not.
glede na vse, kar si na Horebu želel od Gospoda, svojega Boga, na dan zbora, rekoč: ›Naj ne poslušam ponovno glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga niti naj ne vidim več tega velikega ognja, da ne umrem.‹
17 And the Lord sayde vnto me, They haue well spoken.
Gospod mi je rekel: ›Dobro so govorili to, kar so govorili.
18 I will raise them vp a Prophet from among their brethren like vnto thee, and will put my woordes in his mouth, and he shall speake vnto them all that I shall commaund him.
Vzdignil jim bom preroka izmed njihovih bratov, podobnega tebi in svoje besede bom položil v njegova usta in govoril jim bo vse, kar mu bom zapovedal.
19 And whosoeuer will not hearken vnto my wordes, which he shall speake in my Name, I will require it of him.
In zgodilo se bo, da kdorkoli ne bo prisluhnil mojim besedam, ki jih bo govoril v mojem imenu, bom to zahteval od njega.
20 But the prophet that shall presume to speake a worde in my name, which I haue not commanded him to speake, or that speaketh in the name of other gods, euen the same prophet shall die.
Toda prerok, ki si bo predrznil govoriti besedo v mojem imenu, ki mu je nisem zapovedal govoriti ali ki bo govoril v imenu drugih bogov, celo ta prerok bo umrl.‹
21 And if thou thinke in thine heart, Howe shall we knowe the worde which the Lord hath not spoken?
In če v svojem srcu rečeš: ›Kako bomo spoznali besedo, ki je Gospod ni govoril?‹
22 When a prophet speaketh in the Name of the Lord, if the thing follow not nor come to passe, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not therefore be afraid of him.
Kadar prerok spregovori v Gospodovem imenu, če stvar ne sledi niti se ne zgodi, to je stvar, ki je Gospod ni rekel, temveč je prerok to prepotentno govoril. Ne boš se ga bal.
