Deuteronomy 18
1 “Mwet tol ac mwet nukewa ke sruf lal Levi ac fah wangin ip lalos ke facl lun mwet Israel; a elos ac moulkin mwe sang ac mwe kisa saya ma itukyang nu sin LEUM GOD.
The priests, the Levites, that is, all the tribe of Levi, will have no part or heritage with Israel: their food and their heritage will be the offerings of the Lord made by fire.
2 Ac fah wangin acn selos, tia oana sruf ngia. Ip lalos pa elos mukena sriyukla in oru orekma lun mwet tol lun LEUM GOD, oana ke LEUM GOD El wulela.
And they will have no heritage among their countrymen: the Lord is their heritage, as he has said to them.
3 “Pacl nukewa ac kisakinyuk cow ku sheep, na in itukyang nu sin mwet tol finpisa, likintupa luo, ac fotowa.
And this is to be the priests' right: those who make an offering of a sheep or an ox are to give to the priest the top part of the leg and the two sides of the head and the stomach.
4 Elos ac fah eis pac ip se emeet ke wheat, wain, oil in olive ac unen sheep.
And in addition you are to give him the first of your grain and wine and oil, and the first wool cut from your sheep.
5 Inmasrlon sruf lowos nukewa, LEUM GOD El srela sruf lal Levi in kulansupwal in oru orekma lun mwet tol nwe tok.
For he, and his sons after him for ever, have been marked out by the Lord your God from all your tribes, to do the work of priests in the name of the Lord.
6 “Kutena mwet Levi su lungse in kulansap in mwet tol, el ku in tuku liki kutena siti el muta we in Israel, ac som nu ke acn se ma LEUM GOD El sulela mwet uh in alu nu sel we,
And if a Levite, moved by a strong desire, comes from any town in all Israel where he is living to the place marked out by the Lord;
7 ac kulansap we fal nu ke sie mwet tol lun LEUM GOD lal, oana mwet Levi saya su wi orekma we.
Then he will do the work of a priest in the name of the Lord his God, with all his brothers the Levites who are there before the Lord.
8 El ac fah eis lupa se na ma mwet tol ngia eis ke mwe mongo, sayen ma sou lal uh supu nu sel.”
His food will be the same as theirs, in addition to what has come to him as the price of his property.
9 “Pacl se kowos utyak nu in facl se ma LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos uh, nimet etai ouiya na koluk lun mwet in mutunfacl we, su mwe srungayuk.
When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, do not take as your example the disgusting ways of those nations.
10 Nimet kisakin tulik nutuwos fin e ke loang lowos, ac nik kowos lela mwet lowos in orek susfa, ku orek fweni ke ma ac sikyak in pacl fahsru, ku inutnut,
Let there not be seen among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter go through the fire, or anyone using secret arts, or a maker of strange sounds, or a reader of signs, or any wonder-worker,
11 ku lulalfongi ke inpucl, ac nimet lela elos in lolngok nu sin ngunin mwet misa.
Or anyone using secret force on people, or putting questions to a spirit, or having secret knowledge, or going to the dead for directions.
12 LEUM GOD lowos El srunga mwet su oru lumah koluk inge, pa oru El lusak mutunfacl ingo ke kowos apkuran in utyak nu in facl selos.
For all who do such things are disgusting to the Lord; and because of these disgusting things the Lord your God is driving them out before you.
13 Kowos in arulana pwayena nu sin LEUM GOD.”
You are to be upright in heart before the Lord your God.
14 Na Moses el fahk, “In facl se su kowos apkuran in eis, mwet we lulalfongi kas lun mwet susfa ac fweni lalos, tusruktu LEUM GOD lowos El tia lela nu suwos in oru ma inge.
For these nations, whose land you are taking, give attention to readers of signs and to those using secret arts: but the Lord your God will not let you do so.
15 A El fah supwaot sie mwet palu liki inmasrlon mwet lowos, su oana nga, na kowos in aksol.
The Lord your God will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to him;
16 “Ke len se kowos tuh toeni pe Eol Sinai, kowos tuh kwafe kowos in tia sifil lohng pusren LEUM GOD, ku sifil liye e na lulap sac, mweyen kowos tuh nunku mu kowos ac misa.
In answer to the request you made to the Lord your God in Horeb on the day of the great meeting, when you said, Let not the voice of the Lord my God come to my ears again, and let me not see this great fire any more, or death will overtake me.
17 Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, ‘Elos orala sulela na lalmwetmet se.
Then the Lord said to me, What they have said is well said.
18 Nga ac supwala nu yorolos sie mwet palu oana kom liki inmasrlon mwet lalos. Nga fah fahkang nu sel ma elan fahk, ac el fah fahk nu sin mwet uh ma nukewa nga sapkin.
I will give them a prophet from among themselves, like you, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he will say to them whatever I give him orders to say.
19 El fah kaskas inek, ac nga fah kai kutena mwet su tia aksol.
And whoever does not give ear to my words which he will say in my name, will be responsible to me.
20 Tusruktu fin oasr sie mwet palu su nunku in sulkakin sie kas inek ke nga tia sapkin elan fahk, el fah misa kac, na ac fah oapana nu sin mwet palu su fahkak ke inen god saya!
But the prophet who takes it on himself to say words in my name which I have not given him orders to say, or who says anything in the name of other gods, will come to his death.
21 “Sahp kowos ac suk lah kowos ac etu fuka lah ma sie mwet palu el fahk tia ma tuku sin LEUM GOD.
And if you say in your hearts, How are we to be certain that the word does not come from the Lord?
22 Sie mwet palu fin kaskas ke Inen LEUM GOD ac ma el fahk uh tia sikyak oana, na kas lal tia ma sin LEUM GOD me. Mwet palu sac el kaskas ke ku na lal sifacna, na kowos fah tia sangeng sel.
When a prophet makes a statement in the name of the Lord, if what he says does not take place and his words do not come true, then his word is not the word of the Lord: the words of the prophet were said in the pride of his heart, and you are to have no fear of him.
