Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of YHWH made by fire, and his inheritance.
Athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa Alawii, hamwe na mũhĩrĩga ũcio wothe wa Lawi, matikagĩa na gĩthaka kana igai hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli arĩa angĩ. Magaatũũragio nĩ indo iria irutĩirwo Jehova cia igongona rĩa njino, nĩgũkorwo rĩu nĩrĩo igai rĩao.
2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: YHWH is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
Matikagaya igai gatagatĩ ka ariũ a ithe wao; nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩwe igai rĩao, o ta ũrĩa aamerĩire.
3 And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
Indo ici nĩcio athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩrĩirwo nĩ kũheagwo ciumĩte kũrĩ andũ arĩa marĩrutaga igongona rĩa ndegwa kana rĩa ngʼondu: nĩ guoko, na thĩĩa cierĩ, na nyama cia nda.
4 The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
No nginya mũmaheage maciaro ma mbere ma ngano yanyu, na ma ndibei yanyu ya mũhihano, na maguta, o na guoya wa mbere wa ngʼondu cianyu cienjwo,
5 For YHWH thy Elohim hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of YHWH, him and his sons for ever.
nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamathuurĩte hamwe na njiaro ciao kuuma harĩ mĩhĩrĩga yanyu yothe, nĩgeetha marũgamage magatungataga thĩinĩ wa Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova hĩndĩ ciothe.
6 And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which YHWH shall choose;
Mũlawii angĩthaama, oime kũrĩa atũũraga itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe rĩa matũũra manyu thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, na oke endete mũno gũkinya handũ harĩa Jehova agaathuura-rĩ,
7 Then he shall minister in the name of YHWH his Elohim, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before YHWH.
no atungate thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wake, o ta Alawii arĩa angĩ arĩa matungataga hau mbere ya Jehova.
8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
Nake akaagaĩrwo indo ciiganaine na cia arĩa angĩ, o na gũtuĩka nĩamũkĩrĩte mbeeca ciumanĩte na kwendia indo cia nyũmba yao.
9 When thou art come into the land which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
Rĩrĩa mũgaathiĩ bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe, mũtikanerute maũndũ ma kwĩgerekania na mĩthiĩre ĩrĩa ĩrĩ magigi ya ndũrĩrĩ iria irĩ kuo.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
Rekei gũtikanoneke mũndũ thĩinĩ wanyu ũkũruta igongona rĩa gũcina mũriũ kana mwarĩ, kana ũkũragũra, kana ũkũrogana, kana mũtuĩria wa nyoni ya mũndũ, kana mũndũ-mũgo,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
kana mũrogani wa ithitũ, kana mũndũ ũrĩ na maroho ma kũragũra, kana mũrogi, o na kana mũndũ ũkaragũra na maroho ma andũ akuũ.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto YHWH: and because of these abominations YHWH thy Elohim doth drive them out from before thee.
Mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ macio nĩonagwo arĩ magigi nĩ Jehova, na nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ macio marĩ magigi, nĩkĩo Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũrutũrũra ndũrĩrĩ icio ciehere mbere yanyu.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with YHWH thy Elohim.
Inyuĩ no nginya mũtuĩke andũ matarĩ ũcuuke mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu.
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, YHWH thy Elohim hath not suffered thee so to do.
Ndũrĩrĩ iria mũgaatunya bũrũri-rĩ, nĩithikagĩrĩria arogi na andũ arĩa maragũraga. No inyuĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu ndamwĩtĩkĩrĩtie gwĩka ũguo.
15 YHWH thy Elohim will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakamũtũmĩra mũnabii o ta niĩ kuuma harĩ ariũ a thoguo. No nginya mũmũiguage.
16 According to all that thou desiredst of YHWH thy Elohim in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of YHWH my Elohim, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
Nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo mworirie Jehova Ngai wanyu mũrĩ kũu Horebu mũthenya ũrĩa muonganĩte, rĩrĩa mwoigire atĩrĩ, “Ndũkareke tũigue mũgambo wa Jehova Ngai witũ, kana tuone mwaki ũcio mũnene rĩngĩ, nĩgeetha tũtigakue.”
17 And YHWH said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
Jehova aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ: “Ũguo moiga nĩ wega.
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
Nĩngamarahũrĩra mũnabii o tawe oime thĩinĩ wa ariũ a ithe wao; na nĩngekĩra ciugo ciakwa kanua gake, nake nĩakameera ũrĩa wothe ngaamwatha.
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.
Mũndũ o wothe ũkaarega kũigua ciugo ciakwa iria mũnabii ũcio akaaria thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa-rĩ, niĩ mwene nĩ niĩ ngamũũria ũhoro ũcio.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other elohim, even that prophet shall die.
No rĩrĩ, mũnabii ũrĩa ũkaaria ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ na mwĩgerero akĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, oige ũndũ itamwathĩte, kana mũnabii ũrĩa ũkaaria akĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa ngai ingĩ, no nginya akooragwo.”
21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which YHWH hath not spoken?
Mwahota kwĩyũria atĩrĩ, “Tũngĩkĩmenya atĩa rĩrĩa ndũmĩrĩri ĩtaarĩtio nĩ Jehova?”
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of YHWH, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which YHWH hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Ũndũ ũrĩa mũnabii angĩaria rĩĩtwa-inĩ rĩa Jehova, naguo ũndũ ũcio wage kuoneka kana kũhinga, ĩyo nĩ ndũmĩrĩri ĩtaarĩtio nĩ Jehova. Mũnabii ũcio aarĩtie na mwĩgerero. Mũtikanamwĩtigĩre.
