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 the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
Non habebunt sacerdotes et Levitæ, et omnes qui de eadem tribu sunt, partem et hereditatem cum reliquo Israel, quia sacrificia Domini, et oblationes eius comedent,
2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he has said unto them.
et nihil aliud accipient de possessione fratrum suorum: Dominus enim ipse est hereditas eorum, sicut locutus est illis.
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.
Hoc erit iudicium sacerdotum a populo, et ab his qui offerunt victimas: sive bovem, sive ovem immolaverint, dabunt sacerdoti armum ac ventriculum:
4 The first-fruit also of your corn, of your wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, shall you give him.
primitias frumenti, vini, et olei, et lanarum partem ex ovium tonsione.
5 For the LORD your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
Ipsum enim elegit Dominus Deus tuus de cunctis tribubus tuis, ut stet, et ministret nomini Domini ipse, et filii eius in sempiternum.
6 And if a Levite come from any of your gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;
Si exierit Levites ex una urbium tuarum ex omni Israel in qua habitat, et voluerit venire, desiderans locum quem elegerit Dominus,
7 Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.
ministrabit in nomine Domini Dei sui, sicut omnes fratres eius Levitæ, qui stabunt eo tempore coram Domino.
8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which comes of the sale of his patrimony.
Partem ciborum eamdem accipiet, quam et ceteri: excepto eo, quod in urbe sua ex paterna ei successione debetur.
9 When you are come into the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
Quando ingressus fueris Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, cave ne imitari velis abominationes illarum gentium.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
nec inveniatur in te qui lustret filium suum, aut filiam, ducens per ignem: aut qui ariolos sciscitetur, et observet somnia atque auguria, nec sit maleficus,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
nec incantantor, nec qui pythones consulat, nec divinos, aut quærat a mortuis veritatem.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you.
omnia enim hæc abominatur Dominus, et propter istiusmodi scelera delebit eos in introitu tuo.
13 You shall be perfect with the LORD your God.
perfectus eris, et absque macula cum Domino Deo tuo.
14 For these nations, which you shall possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for you, the LORD your God has not suffered you so to do.
Gentes istæ, quarum possidebis terram, augures et divinos audiunt: tu autem a Domino Deo tuo aliter institutus es.
15 The LORD your God will raise up unto you a Prophet from the midst of you, of your brethren, like unto me; unto him all of you shall hearken;
PROPHETAM de gente tua et de fratribus tuis sicut me, suscitabit tibi Dominus Deus tuus: ipsum audies,
16 According to all that you desired of the LORD your 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.
ut petisti a Domino Deo tuo in Horeb, quando concio congregata est, atque dixisti: Ultra non audiam vocem Domini Dei mei, et ignem hunc maximum amplius non videbo, ne moriar.
17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
Et ait Dominus mihi: Bene omnia sunt locuti.
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
Prophetam suscitabo eis de medio fratrum suorum similem tui: et ponam verba mea in ore eius, loqueturque ad eos omnia quæ præcepero illi.
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.
qui autem verba eius, quæ loquetur in nomine meo, audire noluerit, ego ultor existam.
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 gods, even that prophet shall die.
Propheta autem qui arrogantia depravatus voluerit loqui in nomine meo, quæ ego non præcepi illi ut diceret, aut ex nomine alienorum deorum, interficietur.
21 And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?
Quod si tacita cogitatione responderis: Quo modo possum intelligere verbum, quod Dominus non est locutus?
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously: you shall not be afraid of him.
hoc habebis signum: Quod in nomine Domini propheta ille prædixerit, et non evenerit: hoc Dominus non est locutus, sed per tumorem animi sui propheta confinxit: et idcirco non timebis eum.
