< Deuteronomy 18 >

1 The priests the Levites, all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, and his inheritance.
non habebunt sacerdotes et Levitae et omnes qui de eadem tribu sunt partem et hereditatem cum reliquo Israhel quia sacrificia Domini et oblationes eius comedent
2 They shall have no inheritance among their brothers: Jehovah is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
et nihil aliud accipient de possessione fratrum suorum Dominus enim ipse est hereditas eorum sicut locutus est illis
3 This shall be the priests' due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to 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 fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give him.
primitias frumenti vini et olei et lanarum partem ex ovium tonsione
5 For Jehovah your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of Jehovah, 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 If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel, where he lives as a foreigner, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which Jehovah shall choose;
si exierit Levites de una urbium tuarum ex omni Israhel in qua habitat et voluerit venire desiderans locum quem elegerit Dominus
7 then he shall minister in the name of Jehovah his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before Jehovah.
ministrabit in nomine Dei sui sicut omnes fratres eius Levitae qui stabunt eo tempore coram Domino
8 They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which comes of the sale of his patrimony.
partem ciborum eandem accipiet quam et ceteri excepto eo quod in urbe sua ex paterna ei successione debetur
9 When you have come into the land which Jehovah 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 anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who practices divination, or tells fortunes, or interprets omens, or a sorcerer,
nec inveniatur in te qui lustret filium suum aut filiam ducens per ignem aut qui ariolos sciscitetur et observet somnia atque auguria ne sit maleficus
11 or who casts spells, or consults a medium or a familiar spirit, or inquires of the dead.
ne incantator ne pythones consulat ne divinos et quaerat a mortuis veritatem
12 For whoever does these things is an abomination to Jehovah. And because of these abominations Jehovah your God is driving them out from before you.
omnia enim haec abominatur Dominus et propter istiusmodi scelera delebit eos in introitu tuo
13 You shall be blameless before Jehovah your God.
perfectus eris et absque macula cum Domino Deo tuo
14 For these nations, that you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice sorcery, and to diviners; but as for you, Jehovah your God has not allowed you so to do.
gentes istae quarum possidebis terram augures et divinos audiunt tu autem a Domino Deo tuo aliter institutus es
15 Jehovah your God will raise up to you a prophet from the midst of you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.
prophetam de gente tua et de fratribus tuis sicut me suscitabit tibi Dominus Deus tuus ipsum audies
16 This is according to all that you desired of Jehovah your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, "Let me not hear again the voice of Jehovah my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die."
ut petisti a Domino Deo tuo in Horeb quando contio congregata est atque dixisti ultra non audiam vocem Domini Dei mei et ignem hunc maximum amplius non videbo ne moriar
17 Jehovah said to me, "They have well said that which they have spoken.
et ait Dominus mihi bene omnia sunt locuti
18 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to 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 quae praecepero illi
19 It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will call him to account.
qui autem verba eius quae loquetur in nomine meo audire noluerit ego ultor existam
20 But the prophet, who shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die."
propheta autem qui arrogantia depravatus voluerit loqui in nomine meo quae ego non praecepi illi ut diceret aut ex nomine alienorum deorum interficietur
21 If you say in your heart, "How shall we know the word which Jehovah has not spoken?"
quod si tacita cogitatione responderis quomodo possum intellegere verbum quod non est locutus Dominus
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah, if the thing doesn't follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Jehovah has not spoken: the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you shall not be afraid of him.
hoc habebis signum quod in nomine Domini propheta ille praedixerit et non evenerit hoc Dominus non locutus est sed per tumorem animi sui propheta confinxit et idcirco non timebis eum
