Deuteronomio 18

1 Dagiti papadi a Levita, ken amin a tribu ni Levi, awanto ti bingay wenno awanto ti tawidda iti Israel; masapul a kanendanto dagiti datdaton kenni Yahweh a naaramid iti apuy a kas isu ti tawidda.

“There is not for the priests, the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—a portion and inheritance with Israel; they eat fire-offerings of YHWH, even His inheritance,

2 Masapul nga awan iti tawidda kadagiti kakabsatda; ni Yahweh ti tawidda a kas kinunana kadakuada.

and he has no inheritance in the midst of his brothers; YHWH Himself [is] his inheritance, as He has spoken to him.

3 Karbenganto daytoy dagiti papadi manipud kadagiti tattao, manipud kadagiti mangisagut iti daton, baka man daytoy wenno karnero; masapul nga itedda iti padi ti abaga, dagiti dua a pingping ken dagiti naguneg.

And this is the priest’s right from the people, from those sacrificing a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep, he has even given to the priest the leg, and the two cheeks, and the stomach;

4 Dagiti umuna a bunga dagiti bukelmo, ti baro nga arakmo, ken ti lanam, dagiti umuna a dutdot dagiti karnerom, masapul nga itedmo kenkuana.

you give to him the first of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your flock;

5 Ta pinili isuna ni Yahweh a Diosmo kadagiti amin a tribuyo a tumakder nga agserbi iti nagan ni Yahweh, isuna ken dagiti annakna iti agnanayon.

for your God YHWH has fixed on him, out of all your tribes, to stand to serve in the Name of YHWH—him and his sons continually.

6 No umay ti maysa a Levita manipud kadagiti aniaman kadagiti il-iliyo iti amin nga Israel manipud iti pagnanaedanna, ket tarigagayanna iti amin a kararuana nga umay iti disso a piliento ni Yahweh,

And when the Levite comes from one of your cities, out of all Israel where he has sojourned, and has come with all the desire of his soul to the place which YHWH chooses,

7 ket masapul ngarud nga agserbi isuna iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosna kas ar-aramiden dagiti kakabsatna a Levita, nga agtaktakder idiay iti sangoanan ni Yahweh.

then he has ministered in the Name of his God YHWH like all his brothers, the Levites, who are standing there before YHWH.

8 Masapul nga agpada iti bingay a kanen, malaksid pay ti aggapu iti paglakoan a tawid ti pamiliana.

They eat portion like portion, apart from his sold things from the fathers.

9 Inton makadanonkayo iti daga nga it-ited kadakayo ni Yahweh a Diosyo, masapul a saanyo a sursuroen nga aramiden dagiti makarimon a banbang dagitoy a nasion,

When you are coming into the land which your God YHWH is giving to you, you do not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.

10 Masapul nga awan iti siasinoman a masarakan kadakayo a mangipalasat iti apuy ti anakna a lalaki wenno ti anakna a babai, siasinoman a mangus-usar iti panagpadles, siasinoman a mangar-aramid iti panagbuyon, wenno siasinoman a managsalamangka, wenno aniaman a managanito,

There is not found in you one causing his son and his daughter to pass over into fire, a user of divinations, an observer of clouds, and an enchanter, and a sorcerer,

11 aniaman a manangilabeg, siasinoman a makisao iti natay, wenno siasinoman a makisao kadagiti espiritu.

and a charmer, and one inquiring from a familiar spirit, and a wizard, and one seeking to the dead.

12 Ta siasinoman a mangaramid kadagitoy a banbanag ket makarimon kenni Yahweh; gapu kadagitoy a makarimon a banbanag ket pagtaltalawen ida ni Yahweh a Diosyo manipud iti sangoananyo.

For everyone doing these [is] an abomination [to] YHWH, and because of these abominations your God YHWH is dispossessing them from your presence.

13 Masapul koma nga awan iti pakapilawanyo iti sangoanan ni Yahweh a Diosyo.

You must be perfect with your God YHWH,

14 Ta dagitoyto a nasion a paksiatenyo ket dumdumgegda kadagiti managanito, ken kadagiti agpadpadles; ngem no maipapan kadakayo, saan nga impalubos ni Yahweh a Diosyo nga aramidenyo ti kasta.

for these nations whom you are possessing listen to observers of clouds and to diviners; but you—your God YHWH has not permitted you so.

15 Mangbangonto para kadakayo ni Yahweh a Diosyo iti maysa a propeta nga agtaud kadakayo, maysa kadagiti kakabsatyo, kas kaniak. Masapul a dumngegkayo kenkuana.

Your God YHWH raises up for you a Prophet like me out of your midst, out of your brothers—you must listen to Him,

16 Daytoy ti dinawatyo kenni Yahweh a Diosyo idiay Horeb iti aldaw ti panaggigimong, kinunayo, 'Saanmin koma a mangngeg manen ti timek ni Yahweh a Diosmi, wenno makita daytoy dakkel nga apuy ni kaanoman, wenno amangan a mataykaminto.'

according to all that you asked from your God YHWH in Horeb, in the day of the assembly, saying, Do not let me add to hear the voice of my God YHWH, and do not let me see this great fire anymore, and I do not die;

17 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, nasayaat ti imbagada.

and YHWH says to me, They have done well [in] what they have spoken;

18 Mangisaadakto iti maysa a propeta a maipaay kadakuada nga agtaud kadagiti kakabsatda, kas met laeng kenka. Ikabilko dagiti sasaok iti ngiwatna, ket isaonanto kadakuada dagiti amin nga ibilinko kenkuana.

I raise up for them a Prophet like you out of the midst of their brothers, and I have given My words in His mouth, and He has spoken to them all that which I command Him;

19 Mapasamakto a no adda ti siasinoman saan a dumngeg kadagiti sasaok nga isasaona iti naganko, birukekto daytoy kenkuana.

and it has been [that] the man who does not listen to My words which He speaks in My Name, I require [it] of him.

20 Ngem ti propeta nga agsasao a sitatangsit iti naganko, ti sao a saanko nga imbilin kenkuana a saoenna, wenno agsao iti nagan dagiti sabali a dios, masapul a matay dayta a propeta.

Only, the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My Name, which I have not commanded him to speak, and who speaks in the name of other gods, indeed, that prophet has died.

21 No kunaenyo iti pusoyo, 'Kasano a mailasinmi ti mensahe a saan nga insao ni Yahweh?'—

And when you say in your heart, How do we know the word which YHWH has not spoken?

22 no agsasao ti propeta iti nagan ni Yahweh, no saan a rumsua wenno mapasamak dayta a banag, dayta ngarud ket banag a saan nga insao ni Yahweh; insao dayta ti propeta a sitatangsit, ket masapul a saankayo nga agbuteng kenkuana.

That which the prophet speaks in the Name of YHWH, and the thing is not, and does not come—it [is] the word which YHWH has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it in presumption; you are not afraid of him.”
