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, even the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel; the burnt offerings of the Lord [are] their inheritance, they shall eat them.
2 et nihil aliud accipient de possessione fratrum suorum: Dominus enim ipse est hereditas eorum, sicut locutus est illis.
And they shall have no inheritance among their brethren; the Lord himself [is] his portion, as he said to him.
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 [is] the due of the priests in the things coming from the people from those who offer sacrifices, whether it be a calf or a sheep; and you shall give the shoulder to the priest, and the cheeks, and the great intestine:
4 primitias frumenti, vini, et olei, et lanarum partem ex ovium tonsione.
and the first fruits of your corn, and of your wine, and of your oil; and you shall give to him the first fruits of the fleeces of your sheep:
5 Ipsum enim elegit Dominus Deus tuus de cunctis tribubus tuis, ut stet, et ministret nomini Domini ipse, et filii eius in sempiternum.
because the Lord has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand before the Lord your God, to minister and bless in his name, himself and his sons among the children of Israel.
6 Si exierit Levites ex una urbium tuarum ex omni Israel in qua habitat, et voluerit venire, desiderans locum quem elegerit Dominus,
And if a Levite come from one of the cities of all the children of Israel, where he himself dwells, accordingly as his mind desires, to the place which he shall have chosen,
7 ministrabit in nomine Domini Dei sui, sicut omnes fratres eius Levitae, qui stabunt eo tempore coram Domino.
he shall minister to the name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Levites, who stand there present before the Lord your God.
8 Partem ciborum eamdem accipiet, quam et ceteri: excepto eo, quod in urbe sua ex paterna ei successione debetur.
He shall eat an allotted portion, besides the sale of his hereditary property.
9 Quando ingressus fueris Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, cave ne imitari velis abominationes illarum gentium.
And when you shall have entered into the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall 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 in you one who purges his son or his daughter with fire, one who uses divination, who deals with omens, and augury,
11 nec incantator, nec qui pythones consulat, nec divinos, aut quaerat a mortuis veritatem.
a sorcerer employing incantation, one who has in him a divining spirit, and observer of signs, questioning the dead.
12 omnia enim haec abominatur Dominus, et propter istiusmodi scelera delebit eos in introitu tuo.
For every one that does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God; for because of these abominations the Lord will destroy them from before your face.
13 perfectus eris, et absque macula cum Domino Deo tuo.
You shall be perfect before the Lord your God.
14 Gentes istae, quarum possidebis terram, augures et divinos audiunt: tu autem a Domino Deo tuo aliter institutus es.
For all these nations whose [land] you shall inherit, they will listen to omens and divinations; but the Lord your God has not permitted you so [to do].
15 PROPHETAM de gente tua et de fratribus tuis sicut me, suscitabit tibi Dominus Deus tuus: ipsum audies,
The Lord your God shall raise up to you a prophet of your brethren, like me; him shall you hear:
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 things which you did desire of the Lord your God in Choreb in the day of the assembly, saying, We will not again hear the voice of the Lord your God, and we will not any more see this great fire, and [so] we shall not die.
17 Et ait Dominus mihi: Bene omnia sunt locuti.
And the Lord said to me, They have spoken rightly all that they have said to you.
18 Prophetam suscitabo eis de medio fratrum suorum similem tui: et ponam verba mea in ore eius, loqueturque ad eos omnia quae praecepero illi.
I will raise up to them a prophet of their brethren, like you; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them as I shall command him.
19 qui autem verba eius, quae loquetur in nomine meo, audire noluerit, ego ultor existam.
And whatever man shall not listen to whatever words that prophet shall speak in my name, I will take vengeance on 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 whoever shall impiously speak in my name a word which I have not commanded him to speak, and whoever 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?
But if you shall say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord has 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.
Whatsoever words that prophet shall speak in the name of the Lord, and they shall not come true, and not come to pass, this [is] the thing which the Lord has not spoken; that prophet has spoken wickedly: you shall not spare him.
