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.
Neither the priests the Levites [nor] any of the tribe of Levi, shall have either portion or inheritance with Israel, —the altar-flames of Yahweh and his inheritance, shall they eat.
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.
But inheritance, shall he not have, in the midst of his brethren, —Yahweh, is his inheritance, as he spake unto him.
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.
This, therefore shall be the due of the priests from the people from them who offer the sacrifice whether ox or lamb, —there shall be given 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 firstfruit of thy corn thy new wine and thine oil and the first of the fleece of thy flock, shalt thou give unto 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 of him, hath Yahweh thy God made choice out of all thy tribes, —to stand to minister in the name of Yahweh of him and his sons all the days.
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 when the Levite shall come in out of any of thy gates out of any part of Israel, where he is sojourning, —yea shall come in with all the desire of his soul, into the place which Yahweh 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 may he minister in the name of Yahweh his God, —like any of his brethren the Levites who are standing there before Yahweh.
8 E hoohalikeia ka lakou mea e ai ai, a o kona waiwai hoi i kuaiia na na makua mai.
Portion for portion, shall they eat, —apart from his possessions upon his patrimony.
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 coming into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, thou shalt not learn to do according to the abominable doings 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 in thy midst—One who causeth his son or his daughter to pass through fire, —Or who useth divination, hidden arts or enchantments Or who muttereth incantations;
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 who bindeth with spells, —Or who asketh of a familiar spirit or an oracle, Or who seeketh unto the dead.
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, an abomination unto Yahweh, is everyone who doeth these things, —and on account of these abominations, is Yahweh thy God dispossessing them from before thee.
13 E hemolele oe imua o Iehova kou Akua.
Blameless, shalt thou be with, Yahweh 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 whom thou art dispossessing, unto them who use hidden arts and unto diviners, do hearken, but as for thee, not so, doth Yahweh thy God suffer thee.
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 out of thy midst of thy brethren like unto me, will Yahweh thy God, raise up unto thee—unto him, shall ye 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 which thou didst ask of Yahweh thy God, in Horeb, in the day of the convocation saying, —Let me no further hearken unto the voice of Yahweh my God, and this great fire, let me not see any more lest I die.
17 I mai la o Iehova ia'u, He pono ka lakou i olelo mai ai.
And Yahweh said unto me: They have well said what 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.
A prophet, will I raise up unto them, out of the midst of their brethren, like unto thee, —and I will put my words in his mouth, so shall he speak unto them whatsoever 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, the man who will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I, myself 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.
Howbeit the prophet who shall presume to speak a word in my name which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that 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, when thou shalt say in thy heart, —In what manner shall we know the word which Yahweh 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 the prophet shall speak in the name of Yahweh and the word shall not come to pass, neither shall come in, that, is the word which Yahweh, hath not spoken, —presumptuously, hath the prophet spoken it, thou shall not be in dread of him.
