Deuteronomy 18

1 The priests the Levites, even all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel; they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and His inheritance.

“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 And they shall have no inheritance among their brethren; the LORD is their inheritance, as He hath spoken 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 priests' due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, 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 first-fruits of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece 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 the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.

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 a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and come with all the desire of his soul unto the place which the LORD shall 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 then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, who stand there before the LORD.

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, beside that which is his due according to the fathers' houses.

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 the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after 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 any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that useth divination, a soothsayer, 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 consulteth a ghost or a familiar spirit, or a necromancer.

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 whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto the LORD; and because of these abominations the LORD thy God is driving them out 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 whole-hearted with the LORD thy God.

“Fòk nou san fot devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.

14 For these nations, that thou art to dispossess, hearken unto soothsayers, and unto diviners; but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

“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 A prophet will the LORD thy God raise up unto thee, from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall 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 didst desire of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying: 'Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD 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 the LORD said unto me: 'They have well said that which they have spoken.

“SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Yo te pale byen.

18 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I 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 whosoever will not hearken 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, that shall speak a word presumptuously in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same 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 which the LORD 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 the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be 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.
