Deteronòm 18

1 “Prèt Levit yo, tout tribi Lévi a, pa pou gen pati oswa eritaj avèk Israël. Yo va manje ofrann pa dife SENYÈ a ki se pati pa Li.

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 Yo pa pou gen eritaj pami Izrayelit parèy yo. SENYÈ a se eritaj pa yo, jan Li te pwomèt yo a.

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 “Men sa va dwa prèt yo ke moun yo dwe fè, ki soti nan sila ki ofri an sakrifis yo, kit yon bèf, oswa yon mouton; ladann, yo va bay prèt la zepòl la avèk de machwè yo, ak tout vant lan.

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 Nou va ba li premye fwi a sereyal yo, diven nèf nou, lwil nou, ak premye lenn mouton nou yo.

and of wyn, and of oile, and a part of wollis of the scheryng of scheep.

5 Paske SENYÈ a te chwazi li ak fis li yo pami tout tribi nou yo pou kanpe e sèvi nan non SENYÈ a jis pou tout tan.

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 “Alò, si yon Levit sòti nan youn nan vil nou yo atravè tout Israël kote li rete a, e li vini nenpòt lè li vle kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi a,

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 alò, li va sèvi nan non SENYÈ a, Bondye li a, tankou tout Levit parèy li yo ki kanpe la devan SENYÈ a.

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 Li dwe gen pòsyon egal nan benefis pa yo a, menmlè li te resevwa nan kòb vant posesyon fanmi an.

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 “Lè nou antre nan tè ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an bannou an, nou p ap aprann imite bagay abominab a nasyon sa yo.

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 Pa kite yo jwenn okenn pami nou ki sakrifye fis yo oswa fi yo nan dife, youn pami nou ki pratike divinasyon ak maji, ki fè entèpretasyon sign, oswa youn pami nou ki fè wanga,

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 ni youn pami nou ki fè cham, k ap prale nan tab tounant, moun k ap rele lespri yo vin parèt, ni youn pami nou ki rele mò yo monte.

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 Paske nenpòt moun ki fè bagay sa yo abominab a SENYÈ a. Akoz bagay abominab sa yo, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va chase yo sòti devan nou.

For the Lord hath abhomynacioun of alle these thingis, and for siche wickidnessis he schal do awei hem in thin entryng.

13 “Fòk nou san fot devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.

Thou schalt be perfit and without filthe, with thi Lord God.

14 “Paske nasyon sa yo ke nou va deplase yo, koute konsèy a sila ki pratike maji ak sila ki fè divinasyon yo; men pou nou, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pa t pèmèt ke nou fè sa.

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 SENYÈ Bondye nou an, va fè leve nan mitan nou yon pwofèt tankou mwen, pami Izrayelit parèy nou yo, nou va koute li.

Thi Lord God schal reise a prophete of thi folk and of thi britheren as me, thou schalt here hym;

16 Paske se sa nou te mande SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nan mòn Horeb nan jou asanble a, e nou te di: ‘Annou pa tande ankò vwa a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, annou pa wè gran dife sa a ankò, oswa nou va mouri.’

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 “SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Yo te pale byen.

And the Lord seide to me, Thei spaken wel alle thingis.

18 “‘Mwen va fè leve yon pwofèt soti nan mitan Izrayelit parèy yo tankou ou, Mwen va mete pawòl Mwen nan bouch li, e li va pale avèk yo tout sa ke Mwen kòmande li.

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 Li va vin rive ke nenpòt moun ki pa koute pawòl Mwen yo ke li va pale nan non Mwen, Mwen Menm, Mwen va egzije sa de li menm.

Forsothe Y schal be vengere of `that man, that nyle here the wordis `of hym, whiche he schal speke in my name.

20 Men pwofèt ki pale yon mo avèk awogans nan non Mwen, mo Mwen pa t kòmande li pale, oswa ke li pale nan non a lòt dye yo, pwofèt sila a va mouri.’

`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 “Nou kapab di nan kè nou: ‘Kijan nou va konnen pawòl ke SENYÈ a pa t pale?’

That if thou answerist bi pryuy thouyt, Hou may Y vndirstonde the word, which the Lord spak not? thou schalt haue this signe,

22 Lè yon pwofèt pale nan non SENYÈ a, si bagay la pa fèt, oswa pa rive vrè, se bagay sa ke SENYÈ a pa t pale a. Pwofèt la te pale li avèk awogans. Nou pa pou pè li.

`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.
