申命記 18
1 祭司たるレビ人およびレビの支派は都てイスラエルの中に分なく產業なし彼らはヱホバの火祭の品とその產業の物を食ふべし
The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of YHWH made by fire, and his inheritance.
2 彼らはその兄弟の中間に產業を有じヱホバこれが產業たるたり即ちその曾て之に言たまひしが如し
Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: YHWH is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
3 祭司が民より受べき分は是なり即ち凡て犠牲を献ぐる者は牛にもあれ羊にもあれその肩と兩方の頬と胃とを祭司に與ふべし
And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
4 また汝の穀物と酒と油の初および羊の毛の初をも之にあたふべし
The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
5 其は汝の神ヱホバ汝の諸の支派の中より彼を選び出し彼とその子孫をして永くヱホバの名をもて立て奉事をなさしめたまへばなり
For YHWH thy Elohim hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of YHWH, him and his sons for ever.
6 レビ人はイスラエルの全地の中何の處に居る者にもあれその寄寓たる汝の邑を出てヱホバの選びたま處に到るあらば
And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which YHWH shall choose;
7 その人はヱホバの前に侍るその諸兄弟のレビ人とおなじくその神ヱホバの名をもて奉事をなすことを得べし
Then he shall minister in the name of YHWH his Elohim, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before YHWH.
8 その人の得て食ふ分は彼らと同じ但しその父の遺業を賣て獲たる物はこの外に彼に屬す
They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
9 汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふ池にいたるに及びて汝その國々の民の憎むべき行爲を倣ひ行ふなかれ
When thou art come into the land which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 汝らの中間にその男子女子をして火の中を通らしむる者あるべからずまた卜筮する者邪法を行なふ者禁厭する者魔術を使ふ者
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
11 法印を結ぶ者憑鬼する者巫覡の業をなす者死人に詢ことをする者あるべからず
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 凡て是等の事を爲す者はヱホバこれを憎たまふ汝の神ヱホバが彼らを汝の前より逐はらひたまひしも是等の憎むべき事のありしに因てなり
For all that do these things are an abomination unto YHWH: and because of these abominations YHWH thy Elohim doth drive them out from before thee.
13 汝の神ヱホバの前に汝完き者たれ
Thou shalt be perfect with YHWH thy Elohim.
14 汝が逐はらふ故の國々の民は邪法師卜筮師などに聽ことをなせり然ど汝には汝の神ヱホバ然する事を許したまはず
For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, YHWH thy Elohim hath not suffered thee so to do.
15 汝の神ヱホバ汝の中汝の兄弟の中より我のごとき一箇の預言者を汝のために興したまはん汝ら之に聽ことをすべし
YHWH thy Elohim will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
16 是まったく汝が集會の日にホレブにおいて汝の神ヱホバに求めたる所なり即ち汝言けらく我をして重てこの我神ヱホバの聲を聞しむる勿れまた重てこの大なる火を見さする勿れ恐くは我死んと
According to all that thou desiredst of YHWH thy Elohim in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of YHWH my Elohim, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
17 是においてヱホバ我に言たまひけるは彼らの言る所は善し
And YHWH said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
18 我かれら兄弟の中より汝のごとき一箇の預言者を彼らのために興し我言をその口に授けん我が彼に命ずる言を彼ことごとく彼らに告べし
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19 凡て彼が吾名をもて語るところの吾言に聽したがはざる者は我これを罰せん
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 但し預言者もし我が語れと命ぜざる言を吾名をもて縦肆に語りまたは他の神々の名をもて語ることを爲すならばその預言者は殺さるべし
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other elohim, even that prophet shall die.
21 汝あるひは心に謂ん我ら如何にしてその言のヱホバの言たまふ者にあらざるを知んと
And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which YHWH hath not spoken?
22 然ば若し預言者ありてヱホバの名をもて語ることをなすにその言就ずまた效あらざる時は是ヱホバの語りたまふ言にあらずしてその預言者が縦肆に語るところなり汝その預言者を畏るるに及ばす
When a prophet speaketh in the name of YHWH, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which YHWH hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
