< 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,
“E ʻikai maʻu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ko e kau Livai, pea mo e faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo Livai, ha tufakanga pe ha tofiʻa fakataha mo ʻIsileli: tenau kai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi kia Sihova, mo hono tofiʻa ʻoʻona.
2 and he hath no inheritance in the midst of his brethren; Jehovah Himself [is] his inheritance, as He hath spoken to him.
Ko ia ʻe ʻikai tenau maʻu ai ha tofiʻa mo honau ngaahi kāinga: ko Sihova ko honau tofiʻa ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola kiate kinautolu.
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;
“Pea ko hono ʻinasi eni ʻoe taulaʻeiki mei he kakai, meiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻatu ha feilaulau, kapau ko e pulu pe ko e sipi; pea tenau ʻatu ki he taulaʻeiki hono alanga muʻa, mo hono kouʻahe fakatouʻosi pe, mo e kete.
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;
Ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻo hoʻo uite, mo hoʻo uaine, pea mo hoʻo lolo foki, mo e ʻuluaki fulufuluʻi sipi kuo kosi, ke ke ʻatu kiate ia.
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.
He kuo fili ia ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua mei ho ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē, ke tuʻu mo tauhi ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, ʻaia mo hono ngaahi foha ke taʻengata.
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,
“Pea kapau ʻe haʻu ha Livai mei ha kolo ʻe taha ʻi ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻāunofo ai ia, pea haʻu ia ʻi he holi lahi ʻa hono loto ki he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova;
7 then he hath ministered in the name of Jehovah his God, like all his brethren, the Levites, who are standing there before Jehovah,
ʻE toki tauhi ʻe ia ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko hono kāinga kotoa pē ʻi he kau Livai, ʻakinautolu ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
8 portion as portion they do eat, apart from his sold things, with the fathers.
Tenau ʻinasi tatau pe ʻi he meʻakai, neongo ʻa ʻene meʻa ʻaʻana ʻaia ʻoku tupu ʻi he fakatau ʻa hono tofiʻa.
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:
“ʻOka ke ka hoko atu ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke ako ke fai ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ʻoe ngaahi kakai ko ia.
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,
ʻOua naʻa ʻilo ha tokotaha ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku tuku ʻa hono foha pe ko hono ʻofefine ke ʻalu atu ʻi he afi, pe ʻoku fai ʻae tuki, pe ʻoku tokanga ki he ngaahi kuonga, pe ko e fai meʻa mana loi, pe ko e taula fakafaʻahikehe.
11 and a charmer, and one asking at a familiar spirit, and a wizard, and one seeking unto the dead.
Pe ko e tokotaha ʻoku kākā, pe kumi ki he laumālie kovi, pe ko e fieʻiloʻilo, pe ko ia ʻoku kumi ki he mate.
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.
He ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻoku kovi lahi kia Sihova: pea ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kovi lahi ni ʻoku kapusi ai ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua mei ho ʻao.
13 Perfect thou art with Jehovah thy God,
Ke ke angatonu koe kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
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.
He ko e ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻaia ke ke hoko ʻo maʻu, naʻe fakaongo ki he kau tokanga ki he ngaahi kuonga, mo e kau kikite: ka ko koe, naʻe ʻikai tuku koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke fai pehē.
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;
“ʻE fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ha palōfita kiate koe, ʻi ho ngaahi kāinga, ʻo hangē ko au; ke mou tokanga kiate ia;
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;
ʻO fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ke holi ki ai kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi Holepi ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe fakataha, ʻo pehē, ʻoua naʻaku toe ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, pea ʻoua naʻaku toe mamata ki he afi lahi ni, telia naʻaku mate.
17 and Jehovah saith unto me, They have done well that they have spoken;
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ‘ʻOku lelei ʻaia kuo nau lea ki ai.
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;
Te u fokotuʻu kiate kinautolu ha Palōfita ʻi honau kāinga, ʻo hangē ko koe, pea te u ʻai ʻeku ngaahi lea ʻi hono ngutu; pea ʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻaia kotoa pē te u fekau kiate ia.
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.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko ia fulipē ʻe ʻikai tokanga ki heʻeku ngaahi lea ʻaia ʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻi hoku huafa, teu ʻeke ia kiate ia.
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.
Ka ko e palōfita ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku fielahi pea lea ia ʻi hoku huafa, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fekau kiate ia ke lea, pe lea ia ʻi he hingoa ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae palōfita ko ia.’
21 'And when thou sayest in thy heart, How do we know the word which Jehovah hath not spoken? —
Pea kapau ʻoku ke pehē ʻi ho loto, Te mau ʻilo fēfeeʻi ʻae lea ʻaia naʻe ʻikai folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova?
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.
ʻOka lea ʻae palōfita ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, ka ʻoku ʻikai muimui hano fakamoʻoni pe hoko ia, ko eni ʻae meʻa naʻe ʻikai folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova, ka kuo lea fielahi ʻaki ia ʻe he palōfita: ʻe ʻikai te ke manavahē kiate ia.
