Deuteronomy 18
1 'There is not to the priests the Levites — all the tribe of Levi — a portion and inheritance with Israel; fire-offerings of Jehovah, even His inheritance, they eat,
Ndị nchụaja bụ ndị Livayị, na ndị ebo Livayị niile agaghị enwe oke maọbụ ihe nketa ọbụla dịka ebo ndị ọzọ nʼIzrel. Ihe onyinye ịchụ aja niile e wetara nʼihu Onyenwe anyị site nʼọkụ bụ ihe nketa ha.
2 and he hath no inheritance in the midst of his brethren; Jehovah Himself [is] his inheritance, as He hath spoken to him.
Ha agaghị enwe ihe nketa ọbụla nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel ndị ọzọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị abụrụla ihe nketa nke ha dịka o kwere ha na nkwa.
3 'And this is the priest's right from the people, from those sacrificing a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep, he hath even given to the priest the leg, and the two cheeks, and the stomach;
Nke ga-abụ oke ruuru ndị nchụaja nʼebe ndị mmadụ nọ, nʼebe ndị na-achụ aja, site nʼanụ ehi maọbụ atụrụ: a ga-enye onye nchụaja ubu aka ya, agba ya abụọ na afọ ya.
4 the first of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy flock, thou dost give to him;
Ha ga-enwetakwa mkpụrụ mbụ nke owuwe ihe ubi unu, ya bụ, ọka mbụ unu, mmanya vaịnị ọhụrụ unu, mmanụ oliv unu na ajị mbụ a kpụchapụtara site nʼahụ igwe atụrụ unu.
5 for on him hath Jehovah thy God fixed, out of all thy tribes, to stand to serve in the name of Jehovah, He and his sons continually.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ahọpụtala ebo Livayị na ụmụ ụmụ ha site nʼebo niile nke Izrel ka ha bụrụ ndị ga-eguzo jee ozi nʼihu Onyenwe anyị oge niile.
6 'And when the Levite cometh from one of thy cities out of all Israel, where he hath sojourned, and hath come with all the desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah doth choose,
Onye Livayị ọbụla si nʼebe o bi kwapụ gaa biri nʼobodo ọzọ nʼIzrel nwere ike ije nʼebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị họpụtara,
7 then he hath ministered in the name of Jehovah his God, like all his brethren, the Levites, who are standing there before Jehovah,
ọ ga-eje ozi nʼaha Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ya dịka ụmụnna ya ndị Livayị na-eje ozi nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
8 portion as portion they do eat, apart from his sold things, with the fathers.
Ọ ga-esokwa keta oke a na-ekenye ndị Livayị bi nʼobodo ahụ, nʼagbanyeghị na ọ na-enweta ego site nʼorire e rere ihe onwunwe ezinaụlọ ya.
9 'When thou art coming in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, thou dost not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations:
Mgbe ị banyere nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị, amụtakwala ime omume arụ dịka ndị mba bi nʼala ahụ.
10 there is not found in thee one causing his son and his daughter to pass over into fire, a user of divinations, an observer of clouds, and an enchanter, and a sorcerer,
Ka a hapụ ịchọta onye ọbụla nʼetiti gị nke na-ewere nwa ya nwoke maọbụ nwanyị nye ka a kpọọ ya ọkụ nʼihi ịchụrụ chi ndị mba ọzọ aja. Ka onye Izrel ọbụla ghara ịbụ onye na-ajụ mmụọ ase maọbụ onye mgbaasị maọbụ na-agba aja,
11 and a charmer, and one asking at a familiar spirit, and a wizard, and one seeking unto the dead.
maọbụ onye na-akụ mmadụ ibe ya ọgwụ, maọbụ onye na-ajụ mmụọ ọjọọ ase, maọbụ dibịa afa maọbụ onye na-ajụ ase site nʼaka ndị nwụrụ anwụ.
12 'For the abomination of Jehovah [is] every one doing these, and because of these abominations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing them from thy presence.
Onye ọbụla na-eme ihe ndị a bụ onye Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ asị. Ọ bụkwa nʼihi ihe arụ ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ji na-achụpụ ndị bi nʼala a.
13 Perfect thou art with Jehovah thy God,
Ị ghaghị ịbụ onye zuruoke nʼụzọ niile nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
14 for these nations whom thou art possessing, unto observers of clouds, and unto diviners, do hearken; and thou — not so hath Jehovah thy God suffered thee.
Mba ndị ị na-aga inweta ala ha bụ ndị na-ajụ ase site nʼaka ndị mgbaasị na ndị na-agba aja, ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị anabataghị na ị ga-eme ihe dị otu ahụ.
15 'A prophet out of thy midst, out of thy brethren, like to me, doth Jehovah thy God raise up to thee — unto him ye hearken;
Kama Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-eme ka onye amụma nke dị ka m biliere unu site nʼetiti unu, site nʼetiti ndị unu bụ Izrel. Ọ bụ ya ka unu ga-aṅa ntị.
16 according to all that thou didst ask from Jehovah thy God, in Horeb, in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not add to hear the voice of Jehovah my God, and this great fire let me not see any more, and I die not;
Nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe gị onwe gị rịọrọ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị nʼugwu Horeb, nʼụbọchị mkpokọta ahụ. I kwuru sị, “Anyị achọghị ịnụ olu Onyenwe anyị maọbụ hụ ọkụ ahụ dị egwu anya ọzọ, ka anyị ghara ịnwụ.”
17 and Jehovah saith unto me, They have done well that they have spoken;
Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị gwara m okwu sị m, “Ihe ha kwuru dị mma.
18 a prophet I raise up to them, out of the midst of their brethren, like to thee; and I have given my words in his mouth, and he hath spoken unto them all that which I command him;
Aga m eme ka onye amụma bilie nʼetiti ha, onye Izrel dịka gị. Aga m agwa ya ihe ọ ga-ekwu, okwu niile m tinyere nʼọnụ ya ka ọ ga-agwa ha.
19 and it hath been — the man who doth not hearken unto My words which he doth speak in My name, I require [it] of him.
Onye ọbụla jụrụ ige ntị nʼokwu m niile nke onye amụma ga-agwa ha nʼaha m ka mụ onwe m ga-emesi ike.
20 'Only, the prophet who presumeth to speak a word in My name — that which I have not commanded him to speak — and who speaketh in the name of other gods — even that prophet hath died.
Ma onye amụma ọbụla sitere na nganga obi ya kwuo okwu nʼaha m, bụ okwu nke m na-ezighị ya ka o kwuo, ga-anwụ, maọbụ onye amụma ọbụla nke kwuru okwu nʼaha chi ndị ọzọ, onye amụma ahụ ga-anwụkwa.”
21 'And when thou sayest in thy heart, How do we know the word which Jehovah hath not spoken? —
I nwere ike ikwu nʼobi gị sị, “Olee otu anyị ga-esi mata na okwu e kwuru si nʼaka Onyenwe anyị nʼezie?”
22 that which the prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, and the thing is not, and cometh not — it [is] the word which Jehovah hath not spoken; in presumption hath the prophet spoken it; — thou art not afraid of him.
Otu a ka unu ga-esi mata, ọ bụrụ na ihe onye amụma buru nʼamụma nʼaha Onyenwe anyị emezughị, okwu ahụ esighị nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ bịa. Ọ bụ okwu onye amụma ahụ chepụtara kwuo nʼonwe ya. Unu atụla ya ụjọ.
