< Deuteronomy 18 >

1 Not it will belong to the priests the Levites all [the] tribe of Levi a portion and an inheritance with Israel [the] fire offerings of Yahweh and inheritance his they will eat!
Preestis and dekenes, and alle men that ben of the same lynage, schulen `not haue part and eritage with the tother puple of Israel, for thei schulen ete the sacrifices of the Lord, and the offryngis of hym;
2 And an inheritance not it will belong to him in [the] midst countrymen his Yahweh he [is] inheritance his just as he spoke to him.
and thei schulen not take ony othir thing of the possessioun of her britheren; for the Lord hym silf is the `eritage of hem, as he spak to hem.
3 And this it will be [the] right of the priests from with the people from with [those who] sacrifice the sacrifice whether ox or sheep and he will give to the priest the arm and the two cheeks and the stomach.
This schal be the doom of preestis of the puple, and of hem that offren sacrifices; whether `thei offren an oxe, ether a scheep, thei schulen yyue to the preest the schuldre, and the paunche, the firste fruytis of wheete,
4 [the] first of Grain your new wine your and fresh oil your and [the] first of [the] fleece of sheep your you will give to him.
and of wyn, and of oile, and a part of wollis of the scheryng of scheep.
5 For him he has chosen Yahweh God your from all tribes your to stand to serve in [the] name of Yahweh he and descendants his all the days.
For thi Lord God chees hym of alle thi lynagis, that he stonde and mynystre to `the name of the Lord, he and hise sones, with outen ende.
6 And if he will come Levite from one of gates your from all Israel where he [was] sojourning there and he will come in all [the] desire of self his to the place which he will choose Yahweh.
If a dekene goith out of oon of thi citees of al Israel, in which he dwellith, `and wole come and desirith the place which the Lord chees,
7 And he will serve in [the] name of Yahweh God his like all relatives his the Levites who stand there before Yahweh.
he schal mynystre in the name of his Lord God as alle hise britheren dekenes, that schulen stonde in that tyme byfore the Lord.
8 A portion like a portion they will eat besides sales his on the fathers.
He schal take the same part of meetis, `which and othere dekenes schulen take; outakun that that is due to hym in his citee, bi `successioun ethir eritage `of fadir.
9 If you [have] gone into the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you not you will learn to do according to [the] abominations of the nations those.
Whanne thou hast entrid in to the lond which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee, be thou war lest thou wole sue abhomynaciouns of tho folkis;
10 Not he will be found among you [one who] makes pass son his and daughter his in the fire [one who] divines divinations a soothsayer and an augurer and a sorcerer.
noon be foundun in thee that clensith his sone, ether his douytir, `and ledith bi the fier, ethir that axith questiouns of dyuynouris `that dyuynen aboute the auteris, and that taketh hede to dremes and chiteryng of bryddis; nethir ony wicche be,
11 And [one who] casts a spell and [one who] consults a necromancer and a familiar spirit and [one who] enquires to the dead.
nethir an enchauntere, `that is, that disseyueth mennus iyen that a thing seme that is not; nether a man take counsel at hem that han a feend spekynge `in the wombe, nether take counsel at false dyuynouris nethir seke of deed men the treuthe.
12 That [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh every [one who] does these [things] and on account of the abominations these Yahweh God your [is] about to dispossess them from before you.
For the Lord hath abhomynacioun of alle these thingis, and for siche wickidnessis he schal do awei hem in thin entryng.
13 Blameless you will be with Yahweh God your.
Thou schalt be perfit and without filthe, with thi Lord God.
14 For - the nations these which you [are] about to dispossess them to soothsayers and to diviners they listen and you not thus he has permitted to you Yahweh God your.
These hethen men, `the lond of whiche thou schalt welde, heren hem that worchen bi chiteryng of briddis, and false dyuynouris; forsothe thou art tauyt in other maner of thi Lord God.
15 A prophet from midst your one of countrymen your like me he will raise up for you Yahweh God your to him you will listen!
Thi Lord God schal reise a prophete of thi folk and of thi britheren as me, thou schalt here hym;
16 According to all that you asked from with Yahweh God your at Horeb on [the] day of the assembly saying not me repeat to hear [the] voice of Yahweh God my and the fire great this not let me see again and not I will die.
as thou axidist of thi Lord God in Oreb, whanne the cumpany was gaderid, and thou seidist, Y schal no more here the vois of my Lord God, and Y schal no more se `this grettiste fier, lest Y die.
17 And he said Yahweh to me they have done well [that] which they have spoken.
And the Lord seide to me, Thei spaken wel alle thingis.
18 A prophet I will raise up for them from [the] midst of countrymen their like you and I will put words my in mouth his and he will speak to them all that I will command him.
Y schal reise to hem a prophete, lijk thee, of the myddis of her britheren, and Y schal putte my wordis in his mouth, and he schal speke to hem alle thingis, whiche I schal comaunde to him.
19 And it will be the person who not he will listen to words my which he will speak in name my I I will require from with him.
Forsothe Y schal be vengere of `that man, that nyle here the wordis `of hym, whiche he schal speke in my name.
20 Nevertheless the prophet who he will act presumptuously by speaking a word in name my [that] which not I commanded him to speak and who he will speak in [the] name of gods other and he will die the prophet him.
`Sotheli a prophete `schal be slayn, which is bischrewid with pride, and wole speke in my name tho thingis, whiche Y comaundide not to hym, that he schulde seie, ethir bi the name of alien goddis.
21 And if you will say in heart your how? will we know the word which not he has spoken it Yahweh.
That if thou answerist bi pryuy thouyt, Hou may Y vndirstonde the word, which the Lord spak not? thou schalt haue this signe,
22 That he will speak the prophet in [the] name of Yahweh and not it will happen the thing and not it will come that [is] the word which not he has spoken it Yahweh with presumption he has spoken it the prophet not you will be afraid from him.
`The Lord spak not this thing which thilke prophete biforseid in the name of the Lord, `and it bifallith not, but `the prophete feynede bi the pride of his soule, and therfor thou schalt not drede hym.
