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.
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 And they shall have no inheritance among their brethren; the LORD is their inheritance, as He hath spoken unto them.
Zato ne bodo imeli dediščine med svojim brati. Gospod je njihova dediščina, kakor jim je rekel.
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.
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-fruits of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give 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 stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
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 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;
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 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.
potem bo služil v imenu Gospoda, svojega Boga, kakor počno vsi njegovi bratje Lévijevci, ki stojijo tam pred Gospodom.
8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which is his due according to the fathers' houses.
Za jesti bodo imeli podobne obroke, poleg tega, kar pride od prodaje imetja njegovega očeta.
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.
Ko prideš v deželo, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, se ne boš naučil ravnati po gnusobah teh narodov.
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,
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 one that consulteth a ghost or a familiar spirit, or a necromancer.
ali zaklinjevalca ali posvetovalca z osebnimi duhovi ali čarovnika ali rotilca duhov umrlih.
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.
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 whole-hearted with the LORD thy God.
Popoln boš z Gospodom, svojim Bogom.
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.
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 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;
Gospod, tvoj Bog, ti bo iz tvoje srede, izmed tvojih bratov, obudil Preroka, podobnega meni. Njemu boste prisluhnili,
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.'
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 said unto me: 'They have well said that which they have spoken.
Gospod mi je rekel: ›Dobro so govorili to, kar so govorili.
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.
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 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.
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 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.'
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 say in thy heart: 'How shall we know the word 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 pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not 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.
