Maimaitawar Shari’a 18
1 Firistocin da suke Lawiyawa, tabbatacce dukan kabilar Lawi, ba za su sami rabo ko gādo tare da Isra’ila ba. Za su yi rayuwa a kan hadayun da aka kawo wa Ubangiji da wuta ne, gama wannan ne gādonsu.
“The priests, who are all from the tribe of Levi, will not receive any land in Israel. Instead, they will receive some of the food that other people offer to be burned [on the altar to be sacrificed] to Yahweh and some of the other sacrifices that will be offered to Yahweh.
2 Ba za su sami gādo a cikin’yan’uwansu ba; Ubangiji ne gādonsu, kamar yadda ya yi musu alkawari.
They will not be allotted any land like the other tribes will be. What they will receive is the work/privilege of being Yahweh’s [priests], which is what he said that they should have.
3 To, ga rabon da jama’a za su ba firistoci daga hadayun da suka miƙa ta bijimi ne, ko ta tunkiya ce; sai su ba firistoci kafaɗar, kumatun, da kuma kayan cikin.
“When the people bring an ox or a sheep to be sacrificed, they must give to the priests the shoulder, the cheeks/jaws, and the stomach of those animals.
4 Za ku ba su nunan fari na hatsinku, da sabon ruwan inabinku, da manku, da kuma gashi na fari daga askin da kuka yi na tumakinku.
You must also give to them the first part of the grain that you [harvest], and the first part of the wine [that you make], and the first part of the [olive] oil [that you make], and the first part of the wool that you shear from your sheep.
5 Gama Ubangiji Allahnku ya zaɓe su da zuriyarsu daga cikin dukan kabilanku don su tsaya su yi hidima a cikin sunan Ubangiji har abada.
You must do this because Yahweh our God has chosen the tribe of Levi from all of your tribes, in order that men [from that tribe] would always be the priests who would serve him.
6 Idan Balawe ya tashi daga wani garinku, wurin da yake da zama a Isra’ila, ya tafi a wurin da Ubangiji ya zaɓa, zai iya dawo a duk lokacin da ya ga dama.
“If any man from the tribe of Levi [who has been living] in one of the towns in Israel wants to come from there to the place of worship that Yahweh has chosen, [and start living there],
7 Zai iya yin hidima a cikin sunan Ubangiji Allahnsa kamar dukan sauran’yan’uwansa Lawiyawa waɗanda suke hidima a can, a gaban Ubangiji.
he is permitted to serve Yahweh there as a priest, just like the other men from the tribe of Levi who have been serving there.
8 Zai sami rabo daidai da sauran, ko da yake ya karɓi kuɗin mallaka na iyali da ya sayar.
He must be given the same amount of food [that the other priests receive]. He is permitted to keep the money [that his relatives give him] for selling some of their possessions.
9 Sa’ad da kuka shiga ƙasar da Ubangiji Allahnku yake ba ku, kada ku kwaikwayi hanyoyin banƙyama na al’ummai da suke can.
When you enter the land that Yahweh our God is giving you, you must not imitate the disgusting things that the people-groups who are there now do.
10 Kada a sami wani a cikinku da ya miƙa ɗansa, ko’yarsa a wuta, ko a sami mai duba, ko mai maita, ko mai fassara gaibi, ko mai sihiri,
You must not sacrifice any of your children by burning them [on your altars]. Do not practice (divination/using supernatural power to reveal [what will happen in] the future). Do not do/practice (soothsaying/magic to find out what will happen in the future). Do not (interpret omens/say that because of something that you have seen you know what will happen). Do not practice sorcery/witchcraft. Do not practice (putting spells on people/saying things to cause bad things to happen to others).
11 ko boka, ko mabiya, ko maye, ko mai sha’ani da matattu.
Do not try to talk with spirits of dead people. Do not do/practice magic.
12 Duk wanda yake yin waɗannan abubuwa, shi abin ƙyama ne ga Ubangiji, saboda waɗannan abubuwa banƙyama ne kuwa Ubangiji Allahnku ya kori waɗancan al’ummai kafin ku.
Yahweh hates people who do any of those disgusting things. And as you advance through that land, he is going to expel the people-groups because they do/practice those disgusting things.
13 Dole ku zama marasa zargi a gaban Ubangiji Allahnku.
But you must always avoid doing any of those things.
14 Al’ummai da za ku kora sukan saurari waɗannan masu maita, ko masu duba. Amma ku, Ubangiji Allahnku bai yarda muku ku yi haka ba.
The people-groups that you are about to expel [from the land that you will occupy] (consult/seek advice from) soothsayers and those who practice divination. But as for you, Yahweh our God does not allow you to do that.
15 Ubangiji Allahnku zai tayar muku da wani annabi kamar ni daga cikin’yan’uwanku. Dole ku saurare shi.
[Some day] he will send from among you a prophet like me. [He is the one who will tell you what will happen in the future], and he is the one whom you must heed.
16 Gama abin da kuka nema daga Ubangiji Allahnku ke nan a Horeb, a ranar taro, sa’ad da kuka ce, “Kada ka bari mu ji muryar Ubangiji Allahnmu, ko mu ƙara ganin wuta mai girma, in ba haka ba, za mu mutu.”
On the day that your ancestors were gathered at the bottom of Sinai Mountain, they pleaded with me saying, ‘We do not want Yahweh to speak [MTY] to us again, and we do not want to see this huge fire [that is burning on the mountain]!’ [Your ancestors said that because they were afraid] that they would die [if Yahweh spoke to them again].
17 Sai Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Abin da suka faɗa yana da kyau.
Then Yahweh said to me, ‘What they have said is true/wise.
18 Zan tayar musu da wani annabi kamar ka daga cikin’yan’uwansu; zan sa kalmomina a cikin bakinsa, zai kuma faɗa musu kome da na umarce shi.
So I will send from among them a prophet who will be like you. I will tell him what to say, and then he will tell people everything that I tell him to say.
19 Duk wanda bai saurari kalmomina da annabin nan yake magana da sunana ba, ni kaina zan nemi hakki a kan mutumin.
He will speak for me. And I will punish anyone who does not heed what he says.
20 Amma duk annabin da ya ɗauka cewa yana magana da sunana a kan wani abin da ban umarce shi ya faɗa ba, ko kuwa wani annabin da ya yi magana da sunan waɗansu alloli, dole a kashe shi.”
But if any other [person says that he is a] prophet [and] dares to speak a message which he falsely says comes from me but which I did not tell him to speak, or if anyone who speaks a message that he says other gods [MTY] have revealed to him, he must be executed [for doing that].’
21 Mai yiwuwa ku ce wa kanku, “Yaya za mu san cewa wannan saƙo ba Ubangiji ne ya faɗa ba?”
But if you say to yourself, ‘How can we know if a message [that someone tells us] does not come from Yahweh?’
22 In abin da annabin ya furta da sunan Ubangiji bai faru ba, ko bai zama gaskiya ba, saƙo ne da Ubangiji bai faɗa ba ke nan. Wannan annabi ya yi rashin hankali ne kawai. Kada ku ji tsoronsa.
[The answer is that] when someone speaks a message [about what will happen in the future], a message that he says was revealed by Yahweh, if what he says does not happen, [you will know that] the message did not come from Yahweh. That person has wrongly claimed that it was revealed to him by Yahweh. So you do not need to be afraid of [anything that] he [says].”
