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 YHWH made by fire, and his inheritance.
Priesteriem, Levitiem, visai Levja ciltij lai nav nedz daļas nedz mantības līdz ar Israēli; lai tie ēd no Tā Kunga uguns upuriem un no Viņa mantas daļas.
2 They shall have no inheritance among their brothers: YHWH is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
Un mantības lai tiem nav savu brāļu vidū, Tas Kungs ir viņu mantība, itin kā Viņš uz tiem runājis.
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.
Šī nu lai ir tā priesteru tiesa no tiem ļaudīm, no tiem, kas kādu upuri upurē, lai tas ir vērsis vai avs; priesterim lai dod pleci, abus žokļus un kuņģi.
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.
Savas labības, sava vīna un savas eļļas pirmajus, un pirmajus no savu avju cirpšanas tev būs viņam dot.
5 For YHWH your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of YHWH, him and his sons for ever.
Jo Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, viņu ir izredzējis no visām tavām ciltīm, lai tas stāv un kalpo Tā Kunga vārdam, viņš un viņa dēli visu mūžu.
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 YHWH shall choose;
Un ja kāds Levits nāk no kādiem Israēla vārtiem, kur viņš piemīt, un nāk, tā kā viņa dvēselei tīk, uz to vietu, ko Tas Kungs izredzēs,
7 then he shall minister in the name of YHWH his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before YHWH.
Un kalpo Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdā, kā visi viņa brāļi, tie Leviti, kas tur Tā Kunga priekšā stāv,
8 They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which comes of the sale of his patrimony.
Tad lai tie ēd līdzīgu daļu, pāri par viņu ienākumu no tēvu puses.
9 When you have come into the land which YHWH your God gives you, you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
Kad tu nāc tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos, tad tev nebūs mācīties darīt pēc šo pagānu negantībām.
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,
Lai tavā starpā netop atrasts, kas savam dēlam vai savai meitai liek iet caur uguni, neviens zīlnieks, ne burvis, ne pūšļotājs, ne riebējs,
11 or who casts spells, or consults a medium or a familiar spirit, or inquires of the dead.
Ne vārdotājs, ne pareģis, ne pesteļu cienītājs, nedz miroņu vaicātājs.
12 For whoever does these things is an abomination to YHWH. And because of these abominations YHWH your God is driving them out from before you.
Jo visi, kas to dara, Tam Kungam ir negantība, un šīs negantības dēļ Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tos izdzen tavā priekšā.
13 You shall be blameless before YHWH your God.
Bezvainīgam tev būs būt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā.
14 For these nations, that you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice sorcery, and to diviners; but as for you, YHWH your God has not allowed you so to do.
Jo šās tautas, ko tu izdzīsi, cienī burvjus un zīlniekus, bet tev tā neklājās; tev Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tā nav devis.
15 YHWH your God will raise up to you a prophet from the midst of you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.
Pravieti, kāds es esmu, Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev cels no tava vidus, no taviem brāļiem, - tam jums būs klausīt.
16 This is according to all that you desired of YHWH your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, "Let me not hear again the voice of YHWH my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die."
Pēc visa tā, ko tu esi lūdzies no Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, Horebā, sapulces dienā, sacīdams: es vairs negribu dzirdēt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsi, un negribu vairs redzēt šo lielo uguni, ka nemirstu.
17 YHWH said to me, "They have well said that which they have spoken.
Tad Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: tas ir labi, ko tie runājuši.
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.
Es tiem celšu pravieti, kāds tu esi, no viņu brāļu vidus, un Es likšu Savu vārdu viņa mutē, un viņš runās uz tiem visu, ko Es tam pavēlēšu.
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.
Un ja kāds neklausīs Maniem vārdiem, ko viņš runās Manā Vārdā, no tā Es to prasīšu.
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."
Bet tas pravietis, kas iedrošinājās runāt Manā Vārdā, ko Es tam neesmu pavēlējis runāt, vai ja tas citu dievu vārdā runās, šim pravietim būs mirt.
21 If you say in your heart, "How shall we know the word which YHWH has not spoken?"
Ja tu tad savā sirdī sacīsi: kā lai pazīstam to vārdu, ko Tas Kungs nav runājis? -
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of YHWH, if the thing doesn't follow, nor happen, that is the thing which YHWH has not spoken: the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you shall not be afraid of him.
Kad tas pravietis Tā Kunga Vārdā runās, un tas vārds nenotiek un nenāk, - tad šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs nav runājis, tas pravietis to ir aplam runājis, tāpēc nebīsties no viņa.
