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.

Kaua tetahi wahi, tetahi kainga tupu ranei i roto i a Iharaira mo nga tohunga, mo nga Riwaiti, mo te iwi katoa ano hoki o Riwai: ko nga whakahere ahi a Ihowa, ko ona taonga ake hoki, hei kai ma ratou.

2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD [is] their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.

A kahore tetahi kainga tupu mo ratou i waenganui i o ratou tuakana: ko Ihowa, ko ia to ratou taonga tupu, pera hoki me tana i korero ai ki a ratou.

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.

A ko te tikanga tenei mo nga mea a te iwi ma nga tohunga, mo a nga tangata e patu ana i te patunga tapu, ahakoa kau, ahakoa hipi, me homai e ratou ki te tohunga te peke, nga paparinga e rua, me te puku.

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.

Ko nga hua matamua o tau witi, o tau waina, o tau hinu, me te huruhuru matamua o au hipi, me hoatu ki a ia.

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.

No te mea kua whiriwhiria ia e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i roto i ou iwi katoa, kia tu hei minita i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, a ia me ana tama ake tonu atu.

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 the LORD shall choose;

A ki te haere mai tetahi Riwaiti i hea noa atu o Iharaira, i tetahi o ou kuwaha i noho ai ia, a ka tae mai me te hiahia katoa o tona ngakau ki te wahi e whiriwhiria e Ihowa;

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.

Na me minita ia i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, o tona Atua, me pera me ona tuakana katoa me nga Riwaiti, e tu nei i reira i te aroaro o Ihowa.

8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.

Kia rite te wahi hei kai ma ratou, haunga ano nga utu i a ia mo nga taonga a ona matua.

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.

E tae koe ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, kei ako koe ki te mahi i nga mea whakarihariha a ena iwi.

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,

Kei kitea i roto i a koe tetahi e mea ana i tana tama, i tana tamahine ranei, kia haere i roto i te ahi, tetahi tohunga whakaaro ki nga tohu, tetahi e whakaari ana i nga mea kei mua, tetahi tohunga maori, tetahi tohunga makutu ranei,

11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

Tetahi tohunga whaiwhaia ranei, tetahi kaiui i te atua maori, tetahi mata maori ranei, tetahi kaiui i te tupapaku.

12 For all that do these things [are] an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

No te mea e whakarihariha ana a Ihowa ki nga tangata katoa e mea ana i ena mea: a na aua mea whakarihariha i peia ai ratou i tou aroaro e Ihowa, e tou Atua.

13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

Kia tino tika koe i te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua.

14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so [to do].

Ko enei iwi hoki, ka riro nei i a koe, e whakarongo ana ki nga tohunga taima, ki nga tohunga maori: tena ko koe, e kore a Ihowa, tou Atua, e tuku i a koe kia pera.

15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

Ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, e whakaara ake he poropiti mou i roto i a koe, no ou teina, he rite mai ki ahau; ko ia ta koutou e whakarongo ai;

16 According to all that thou desiredst 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.

Hei whakarite mo nga mea katoa i inoi ai koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i Horepa i te ra o te huihuinga, i mea ai, Kaua ahau e rongo atu ano i te reo o Ihowa, o toku Atua, kaua hoki ahau e titiro ano ki tenei ahi nui, kei mate ahau.

17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well [spoken that] which they have spoken.

Na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, He pai ta ratou korero i korero na.

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.

Maku e whakaara ake he poropiti mo ratou i roto i o ratou teina, rite tahi ki a koe, a ka hoatu e ahau aku kupu ki tona waha; mana e korero ki a ratou nga mea katoa e korero ai ahau ki a ia.

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.

Na ko te tangata e kore e whakarongo ki aku kupu, e korero ai ia i runga i toku ingoa, maku e rapu he utu i a ia.

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.

Tena ko te poropiti e poka noa te korero i runga i toku ingoa, i tetahi kupu kihai nei i whakahaua atu e ahau kia korerotia, e korero ranei i runga i te ingoa o nga atua ke, ina, ka mate taua poropiti.

21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

A ki te mea koe i roto i tou ngakau, Ma te aha e mohio ai tatou ki te kupu kihai nei i korerotia e Ihowa?

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, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

Ki te korero tetahi poropiti i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, a kahore e puta mai te mea, kahore hoki e tae mai, koia tena te mea kihai i korerotia e Ihowa: i korero poka noa te poropiti, kaua koe e wehi i a ia.
