Kanawailua 18

1 O NA kahuna, na Levi, o na ohana a pau a Levi, aohe o lakou kuleana, aohe aina hooili me ka Iseraela: e ai no lakou i na mohai no Iehova i puhi i ke ahi, a me ka mea e ili mai ana nona.

The priests the Levites, even all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel; they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and His inheritance.

2 No ia mea, aole o lakou aina hooili iwaena o ko lakou poe hoahanau; o Iehova oia ko lakou hooilina e like me kana i olelo mai ai ia lakou.

And they shall have no inheritance among their brethren; the LORD is their inheritance, as He hath spoken unto them.

3 Eia ka ke kahuna wahi na na kanaka mai, na ka poe e kaumaha aku i ka mohai, i ka bipikane paha, i ka hipa paha: a e haawi aku lakou i ka uha mua a me na papalina elua, a me ka opu na ke kahuna.

And this shall be the priests' due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.

4 O ka hua mua o kau palaoa, o kou waina, a me kou aila, a o ka hulu ako mua o kau poe hipa, o kau ia e haawi aku ai nana.

The first-fruits of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.

5 No ka mea, ua wae mai o Iehova ia ia mailoko mai o kou mau ohana a pau, e ku e lawelawe ma ka inoa o Iehova, oia a me kana mau keiki i na la a pau loa.

For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.

6 Ina paha e hele mai kekahi o ka Levi mailoko mai o kekahi o kou mau ipuka o ka Iseraela a pau ana i noho malihini ai; a e hele mai ia me ka makemake a pau o kona naau ma kahi a Iehova e wae ai;

And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and come with all the desire of his soul unto the place which the LORD shall choose;

7 Alaila e lawelawe no ia ma ka inoa o Iehova kona Akua, e like me kona poe hoahanau a pau, o ka Levi e ku ana malaila imua o Iehova.

then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, who stand there before the LORD.

8 E hoohalikeia ka lakou mea e ai ai, a o kona waiwai hoi i kuaiia na na makua mai.

They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which is his due according to the fathers' houses.

9 A hiki aku oe ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai ai ia oe, mai ao iho oe e hana e like me na mea haumia o ua mau lahuikanaka la.

When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

10 Aole e ikeia iwaena o oukou ka mea nana e kuu aku i kana keikikane a i kana kaikamahine paha e hele mawaena o ke ahi; aole hoi he kahuna anaana, aole he mea nana i ke ao, aole hoi he mea nana moo, aole ka mea kilo;

There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that useth divination, a soothsayer, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,

11 Aole hoi he mea hoowalewale i na nahesa, aole hoi he mea ninau i na uhane ino, aole hoi he kupua, aole he mea ninau i ka poe make.

or a charmer, or one that consulteth a ghost or a familiar spirit, or a necromancer.

12 No ka mea, o ka poe a pau e hana ana ia mea, ua haumia lakou imua o Iehova: no keia mau mea hoohaumia, na Iehova kou Akua e kipaku aku ana ia lakou mai kou alo aku.

For whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto the LORD; and because of these abominations the LORD thy God is driving them out from before thee.

13 E hemolele oe imua o Iehova kou Akua.

Thou shalt be whole-hearted with the LORD thy God.

14 No ka mea, o keia mau lahuikanaka e lilo ana nou, ua hoolohe lakou i na mea nana i ke ao, a me na kahuna anaana: aka o oe, aole o Iehova kou Akua i ae mai ia oe e hana pela.

For these nations, that thou art to dispossess, hearken unto soothsayers, and unto diviners; but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

15 E hooku mai auanei o Iehova kou Akua mai waena mai ou i Kaula nou, i kekahi hoahanau on e like me au, e hoolohe oukou ia ia;

A prophet will the LORD thy God raise up unto thee, from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

16 E like me ka mea a pau na i noi aku ai ia Iehova kou Akua ma Horeba, i ka la i houluulu ai, i ka i ana'ku, Aole au e lohe hou i ka leo o Iehova ko'u Akua, aole hoi au e ike hou i keia ahi nui, o make au.

according to all that thou didst desire of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying: 'Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.'

17 I mai la o Iehova ia'u, He pono ka lakou i olelo mai ai.

And the LORD said unto me: 'They have well said that which they have spoken.

18 E hooku auanei au i Kaula no lakou no waena mai o ko lakou poe hoahanau, e like me oe, a e waiho ana au i ka'u mau olelo maloko o kona waha; a nana e olelo aku ia lakou ka mea a pau a'u e kauoha aku ai ia ia.

I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

19 A o ke kanaka hoolohe ole i ka'u mau olelo, ana e olelo aku ai ma ko'u inoa, na'u no ia e hoopai aku.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which he shall speak in My name, I will require it of him.

20 A o ke kaula e aa ana e olelo aku i kekahi olelo ma ko'u inoa i ka mea a'u i kauoha ole aku ai ia ia e olelo, a e olelo aku paha ia ma ka inoa o na akua e, e make ua kaula la.

But the prophet, that shall speak a word presumptuously in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.'

21 Ina e i iho oe iloko o kou naau, Pehea la makou e ike ai i ka olelo a Iehova i olelo ole mai ai?

And if thou say in thy heart: 'How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?'

22 A i olelo aku kekahi kaula ma ka inoa o Iehova, a hiki ole mai ia mea, aole hoi ia e ko, oia ka mea a Iehova i olelo ole mai ai; ua olelo aku ua kaula la me ka hookiekie; mai makau aku oe ia ia.

When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him.
