Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests and the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire and his portion.
Vaihmanaw, Levih miphunnaw pueng Isarelnaw hoi cungtalah râw tawn awh mahoeh. Ahnimouh teh BAWIPA koe hmai hoi thuengnae a hamnaw hah a ca awh han.
2 They shall have no inheritance among their brothers. The LORD is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
Ahnimouh teh a hmaunawnghanaw hoi râw rei coe awh mahoeh. BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e patetlah ahnimae râw teh ao.
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, the two cheeks, and the inner parts.
Taminaw ni thuengnae a sak awh toteh, maito hai thoseh, tu hai thoseh, vaihmanaw e ham aloung vang, a tangboung roi, a ruennaw hai thoseh,
4 You shall give him the first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep.
ahmaloe na a e cang, misur, satui hoi tumuen na ngaw e naw hah na poe han.
5 For the LORD your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in the LORD’s name, him and his sons forever.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni koehoi a ca catounnaw teh BAWIPA min lahoi a thaw pou tawk nahanelah, na BAWIPA Cathut ni na miphunnaw thung dawkvah ahni hah a rawi toe.
6 If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel where he lives, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which the LORD shall choose,
Isarel kho dawk kaawm e Levih tami buetbuet touh ni BAWIPA Cathut ni a rawi e hmuen koe bari laihoi tho pawiteh,
7 then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before the LORD.
BAWIPA hmalah hmuen ka tawn tangcoung e Levihnaw patetvanlah, BAWIPA Cathut min lahoi athaw hah a tawk han.
8 They shall have like portions to eat, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions.
Ama e râw a yo teh a hmu e hno touk laipalah, Levihnaw hoi reikâvan lah a coe van han.
9 When you have come into the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the abominations of those nations.
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram na pha awh toteh, hote ram dawk kaawm e taminaw ni a sak awh e panuettho e hno hah na sak awh mahoeh.
10 There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who tells fortunes, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
Nangmouh thung dawk a canaw hah hmai hoi ka thueng e, ka tho hane naw hah ama pouk lahoi ka dei e, kutkhetkathoum e, kahawihoehe thoumthainae ka sak e,
11 or a charmer, or someone who consults with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
ân ka thoum e, kahrai kamyawng e, hmaui lah kaawm e, tami kadout ka pacei e tami buet touh boehai awm mahoeh.
12 For whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD. Because of these abominations, the LORD your God drives them out from before you.
Hottelah ka sak e pueng teh BAWIPA Cathut ni a panuet. Hote panuettho e hnonaw kecu dawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut ni hote miphunnaw teh nang na hmalah hoi a pâlei toe.
13 You shall be blameless with the LORD your God.
Nang teh, BAWIPA Cathut hmalah toun kaawm hoeh lah na o awh han.
14 For these nations that you shall dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery and to diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you so to do.
Na uk e taminaw teh kutkhetkathoum e, ka tho hane naw hah ama pouk lahoi kadeinaw e lawk hah ouk a ngâi awh. Nang teh hottelah na sak nahanelah na BAWIPA Cathut ni kâ na poe hoeh.
15 The LORD your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni, nange na hmaunawnghanaw thung dawk hoi, kai patetlah e profet buet touh nangmouh hanelah a tâco sak han. Hote profet lawk hah na ngâi awh han.
16 This is 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 LORD my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.”
Horeb vah na kamkhuengnae hnin navah nang ni, BAWIPA Cathut e a lawk hah bout ka thai awh hanh lawiseh. Hote kalenpounge hmai hah kahmawt awh hanh lawiseh. Ka due han doeh toe telah BAWIPA Cathut hmalah na kâhei e patetlah,
17 The LORD said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.
BAWIPA ni, ahnimae lawk teh ahawi doeh.
18 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
Amamae hmaunawngha thung dawkvah, ahnimouh hanelah profet buet touh ka tâco sak vaiteh, ahnie pahni dawk, ka lawknaw hah ka hruek pouh vaiteh, ahni ni patuen a dei pouh han.
19 It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
Hote profet ni ka min lahoi a dei e lawk hah tarawi laipalah kaawm e teh, kai ni ka yue han.
20 But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”
Kai ni lawk ka poe laipalah, ka min lahoi ka dei e profet hoehpawiteh, alouke cathut min lahoi ka dei e profet teh kadout lah thei han telah kai ni kâ na poe.
21 You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?”
Nang ni, BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e hah bangtelah hoi maw ka panue han telah na pouk pawiteh,
22 When a prophet speaks in the LORD’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.
profet ni BAWIPA min lahoi a dei e patetlah phat hoeh, a dei lawk kuep hoehpawiteh, hote lawk teh BAWIPA ni a dei e nahoeh. A taranhawi lahoi a dei e doeh. Ahni hah na taket mahoeh.
