Deuteronomii 18
1 Non habebunt sacerdotes et Levitae, et omnes qui de eadem tribu sunt, partem et hereditatem cum reliquo populo Israel, quia sacrificia Domini, et oblationes eius comedent,
The priests, the Levites, [and] the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: Jehovah's offerings by fire, and his inheritance shall they eat,
2 et nihil aliud accipient de possessione fratrum suorum: Dominus enim ipse est hereditas eorum, sicut locutus est illis.
but they shall have no inheritance among their brethren: Jehovah, he is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
3 Hoc erit iudicium sacerdotum a populo, et ab his qui offerunt victimas: sive bovem, sive ovem immolaverint, dabunt sacerdoti armum ac ventriculum:
And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that sacrifice a sacrifice, whether ox, or sheep: they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the jawbones, and the maw.
4 primitias frumenti, vini, et olei, et lanarum partem ex ovium tonsione.
The firstfruits [also] of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstfruits of the shearing of thy sheep, shalt thou give him;
5 Ipsum enim elegit Dominus Deus tuus de cunctis tribubus tuis, ut stet, et ministret nomini Domini ipse, et filii eius in sempiternum.
for Jehovah thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, that he may stand to serve in the name of Jehovah, he and his sons continually.
6 Si exierit Levites ex una urbium tuarum ex omni Israel in qua habitat, et voluerit venire, desiderans locum quem elegerit Dominus,
And if the Levite shall come from one of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and shall come according to all the desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah will choose,
7 ministrabit in nomine Domini Dei sui, sicut omnes fratres eius Levitae, qui stabunt eo tempore coram Domino.
and shall serve in the name of Jehovah his God, as all his brethren the Levites that stand there before Jehovah,
8 Partem ciborum eamdem accipiet, quam et ceteri: excepto eo, quod in urbe sua ex paterna ei successione debetur.
— they shall have like portions to eat, besides that which he hath sold of his patrimony.
9 Quando ingressus fueris Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, cave ne imitari velis abominationes illarum gentium.
When thou art come into the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.
10 nec inveniatur in te qui lustret filium suum, aut filiam, ducens per ignem: aut qui ariolos sciscitetur, et observet somnia atque auguria, non sit maleficus,
There shall not be found among you he that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, that useth divination, that useth auguries, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
11 nec incantator, nec qui pythones consulat, nec divinos, aut quaerat a mortuis veritatem.
or a charmer, or one that inquireth of a spirit of Python, or a soothsayer, or one that consulteth the dead.
12 omnia enim haec abominatur Dominus, et propter istiusmodi scelera delebit eos in introitu tuo.
For every one that doeth these things is an abomination to Jehovah, and because of these abominations Jehovah thy God doth dispossess them from before thee.
13 perfectus eris, et absque macula cum Domino Deo tuo.
Thou shalt be perfect with Jehovah thy God.
14 Gentes istae, quarum possidebis terram, augures et divinos audiunt: tu autem a Domino Deo tuo aliter institutus es.
For these nations, which thou shalt dispossess, hearkened unto those that use auguries, and that use divination; but as for thee, Jehovah thy God hath not suffered thee [to do] so.
15 PROPHETAM de gente tua et de fratribus tuis sicut me, suscitabit tibi Dominus Deus tuus: ipsum audies,
Jehovah thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him shall ye hearken;
16 ut petisti a Domino Deo tuo in Horeb, quando concio congregata est, atque dixisti: Ultra non audiam vocem Domini Dei mei, et ignem hunc maximum amplius non videbo, ne moriar.
according to all that thou desiredst of Jehovah thy God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Jehovah my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
17 Et ait Dominus mihi: Bene omnia sunt locuti.
And Jehovah said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
18 Prophetam suscitabo eis de medio fratrum suorum similem tui: et ponam verba mea in ore eius, loqueturque ad eos omnia quae praecepero illi.
A prophet will I raise up unto them 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 qui autem verba eius, quae loquetur in nomine meo, audire noluerit, ego ultor existam.
And it shall come to pass that the man who hearkeneth not unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 Propheta autem qui arrogantia depravatus voluerit loqui in nomine meo, quae ego non praecepi illi ut diceret, aut ex nomine alienorum deorum, interficietur.
But the prophet who shall presume to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.
21 Quod si tacita cogitatione responderis: Quo modo possum intelligere verbum, quod Dominus non est locutus?
And if thou say in thy heart, How shall we know the word that Jehovah hath not spoken?
22 hoc habebis signum: Quod in nomine Domini propheta ille praedixerit, et non evenerit: hoc Dominus non est locutus, sed per tumorem animi sui propheta confinxit: et idcirco non timebis eum.
When a prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, and the thing followeth not, nor cometh to pass, that is the word which Jehovah hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: be not afraid of him.
