The Priests of the Leuites, and all the tribe of Leui shall haue no part nor inheritace with Israel, but shall eate the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and his inheritance.
2 Womehiã domenyinu o, elabena Yehowa nye woƒe domenyinu! Esia nye ŋugbe si Yehowa do na wo!
Therefore shall they haue no inheritance among their brethren: for the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath sayd vnto them.

And this shalbe the Priests duetie of the people, that they, which offer sacrifice, whether it be bullocke or sheepe, shall giue vnto the Priest the shoulder, and the two cheekes, and the mawe.

Also when a Leuite shall come out of any of thy cities of all Israel, where hee remained, and come with all the desire of his heart vnto the place, which the Lord shall chuse,
7 ate ŋu asubɔ le Yehowa, Mawu ƒe ŋkɔ me abe nɔvia Levitɔ bubuawo katã siwo subɔna le afi ma le Yehowa ŋkume ene.
He shall then minister in the Name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Leuites, which remaine there before the Lord.
8 Ele be woatsɔ vɔsanuwo kple nunana bubuawo nɛ, abe nu si dze be woatsɔ nɛ la ene, eye menye ne nu siawo le ehiãm la ko o.”

When thou shalt come into ye land which the Lord thy God giueth thee, thou shalt not learne to do after ye abominations of those nations.
10 Le kpɔɖeŋu me, ne Israelvi aɖe atsɔ via ana be woatɔ dzoe abe vɔsa na anyigba ma dzi tɔwo ƒe mawuwo ene la, ele be woawui. Mele be Israelvi aɖeke nanye bokɔnɔ, goloɖola, zidoedola, dzosala,
Let none be founde among you that maketh his sonne or his daughter to goe thorough the fire, or that vseth witchcraft, or a regarder of times, or a marker of the flying of foules, or a sorcerer,
11 busudoamela, adzetɔ, nukala kple ŋɔliyɔla o.
Or a charmer, or that counselleth with spirits, or a soothsaier, or that asketh counsel at ye dead.
12 Ame sia ame si awɔ nu siawo la anye ŋunyɔnu na Yehowa, eye esi wònye dukɔ mawo wɔa nu siawo tae Yehowa, wò Mawu la aɖe wo ɖa.
For all that doe such things are abomination vnto the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doeth cast them out before thee.
13 Ele be nàzɔ ale be fɔɖiɖi aɖeke manɔ wò zɔzɔme ŋu le Yehowa, wò Mawu la ŋkume o.”
Thou shalt be vpright therefore with the Lord thy God.

For these nations which thou shalt possesse, hearken vnto those that regarde the times, and vnto sorcerers: as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffred thee so.
15 Yehowa wò Mawu ŋutɔ aɖo nyagblɔɖila tɔxɛ aɖe ɖe mia dome, tso mia nɔviwo Israelviwo dome abe nye ene. Ele be nàɖo to ame sia,
The Lord thy God will raise vp vnto thee a Prophet like vnto me, from among you, euen of thy brethren: vnto him ye shall hearken,

According to al that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb, in the day of the assemblie, when thou saidest, Let me heare the voice of my Lord God no more, nor see this great fire any more, that I die not.
17 Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Enyo; mawɔ wo biabia dzi na wo.
And the Lord sayde vnto me, They haue well spoken.
18 Maɖo nyagblɔɖila aɖe na mi tso mia dome wòanye Israelvi abe wò ene. Magblɔ nu si wòagblɔ la nɛ, eye eyae anye nye nyasela kple nyagblɔla na ameawo.
I will raise them vp a Prophet from among their brethren like vnto thee, and will put my woordes in his mouth, and he shall speake vnto them all that I shall commaund him.
19 Nye ŋutɔ mahe to na ame sia ame si maɖo toe, awɔ nye nya si wòagblɔ nɛ la dzi o.
And whosoeuer will not hearken vnto my wordes, which he shall speake in my Name, I will require it of him.
20 Ke nyagblɔɖila si ada alakpa be yeƒe nya tso gbɔnye la aku. Nenema ke nyagblɔɖila ɖe sia ɖe si agblɔ be yeƒe nya tso mawu bubuwo gbɔ la, aku.”
But the prophet that shall presume to speake a worde in my name, which I haue not commanded him to speake, or that speaketh in the name of other gods, euen the same prophet shall die.
21 Ne èbia be, “Aleke míawɔ hafi anya ne nyagblɔɖi la tso Yehowa gbɔ loo alo metso egbɔ o?”
And if thou thinke in thine heart, Howe shall we knowe the worde which the Lord hath not spoken?
22 Nenye be nya si wògblɔ ɖi la meva eme o la, ekema menye Yehowae gblɔ nya la nɛ o, eya ŋutɔe kpae. Migaɖo to eƒe nya aɖeke o.
When a prophet speaketh in the Name of the Lord, if the thing follow not nor come to passe, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not therefore be afraid of him.
