Deotoronomia 18
1 Tsy hanañ’anjara ndra lova am’ Israele ao o mpisoroñe nte-Levio ndra i hene fifokoa’ i Leviy. Fe ho kamae’ iereo ze soroñañe am’ Iehovà, naho ze mete ho anjara’e.
Neither the priests the Levites [nor] any of the tribe of Levi, shall have either portion or inheritance with Israel, —the altar-flames of Yahweh and his inheritance, shall they eat.
2 Tsy hanan-dova amo rolongo’eo iereo fa Iehovà ro lova’ iareo, amy nitsara’ey.
But inheritance, shall he not have, in the midst of his brethren, —Yahweh, is his inheritance, as he spake unto him.
3 Zao ty anjara’o mpisoroñeo boak’ am’ ondatio, hirik’ amo mañenga soroñeo ke bania ke añondry: hatolo’ iereo amy mpisoroñey ty sokataña’e, o valañorà’eo naho ty tsimarano’e.
This, therefore shall be the due of the priests from the people from them who offer the sacrifice whether ox or lamb, —there shall be given unto the priest, the shoulder and the two cheeks and the maw:
4 Ty lengom-boa’ o mahakama’oo naho ty divai’o naho ty mena’o vaho ty valoham-bolo’ o añondri’oo ty hatolo’o aze.
the firstfruit of thy corn thy new wine and thine oil and the first of the fleece of thy flock, shalt thou give unto him.
5 Amy t’ie jinobo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o amo fifokoa’o iabio hijohaña’e hitoroñe nainai’e amy tahina’ Iehovày, ie naho o tarira’eo.
For of him, hath Yahweh thy God made choice out of all thy tribes, —to stand to minister in the name of Yahweh of him and his sons all the days.
6 Aa naho miavotse an-drova’o ndra aia’aia e Israele ao amy nañialoa’ey, t’i nte-Levy, hionjomb’ amy toetse ho joboñe’ Iehovày mb’eo an-kaliforam-pisalalàn-tro’e;
And when the Levite shall come in out of any of thy gates out of any part of Israel, where he is sojourning, —yea shall come in with all the desire of his soul, into the place which Yahweh shall choose,
7 le ie ro hitoroñe amy tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ey hambañe amo longo’e nte-Levy mpijohañe añatrefa’ Iehovào.
then may he minister in the name of Yahweh his God, —like any of his brethren the Levites who are standing there before Yahweh.
8 Hanañ’ anjara mahakama mira am’ iereo re, ho tovo’ ze rinambe’e ami’ty nandetaha’e i lovan-droae’ey.
Portion for portion, shall they eat, —apart from his possessions upon his patrimony.
9 Ie mivotrak’ an-tane’ atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo, ko tsikombe’o o sata mampangorì’ o fifeheañeoo.
When thou art coming into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, thou shalt not learn to do according to the abominable doings of those nations.
10 Tsy ho oniñe ama’ areo ao ty mpampitoañ’ ana-dahy ndra anak’ ampela añ’afo ao, ndra ty mpisikily, ndra ty mpitoky vìlañe, ndra ty mpañori-binta ndra ty mpamoreke
There shall not be found in thy midst—One who causeth his son or his daughter to pass through fire, —Or who useth divination, hidden arts or enchantments Or who muttereth incantations;
11 ndra ty jinilahy, ndra ty mpampizèke, ndra ty aman-kokolampa, ndra ty mpañontane lolo.
Or who bindeth with spells, —Or who asketh of a familiar spirit or an oracle, Or who seeketh unto the dead.
12 Amy te tiva am’ Iehovà ze manao izay; le i sata tiva rey ty anoiha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o iareo aolo’o mb’eo.
For, an abomination unto Yahweh, is everyone who doeth these things, —and on account of these abominations, is Yahweh thy God dispossessing them from before thee.
13 Mivañona am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.
Blameless, shalt thou be with, Yahweh thy God;
14 Toe haoñe’ o rofoko ho tavane’o tane ty mpamoreke naho ty mpisikily, fa ihe, tsy hapo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o hanao izay.
for, these nations whom thou art dispossessing, unto them who use hidden arts and unto diviners, do hearken, but as for thee, not so, doth Yahweh thy God suffer thee.
15 Hampitroare’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ho azo ty mpitoky añivo’o ao, boak’ aman-drolongo’o, manahak’ ahy; ie ty ho haoñe’o;
A prophet out of thy midst of thy brethren like unto me, will Yahweh thy God, raise up unto thee—unto him, shall ye hearken:
16 ty amo hene nihalalie’o am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o e Korebe añe amy andro i fivoribeiio ami’ty hoe: Ee tsy ho tsanoñeko ka ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko ndra hahatrea o afo jabajaba roke, tsy hivetrahako.
according to all which thou didst ask of Yahweh thy God, in Horeb, in the day of the convocation saying, —Let me no further hearken unto the voice of Yahweh my God, and this great fire, let me not see any more lest I die.
17 Le inao ty natoi’ Iehovà ahy: Noko i entañe nitaroñe’ iereoy.
And Yahweh said unto me: They have well said what they have spoken.
18 Aa le hatroako ho a’ iareo ty mpitoky hambañe ama’o boak’ amo longo’ iareoo; hajoko am-palie’e ao o fivolakoo le ho tsarae’e am’ iereo ze afantoko ama’e.
A prophet, will I raise up unto them, out of the midst of their brethren, like unto thee, —and I will put my words in his mouth, so shall he speak unto them whatsoever I shall command him.
19 Ie amy zao, hanañako kabò ze tsy mañaoñe o fivolako ho tsarae’e ami’ty añarakoo.
And it shall come to pass, that, the man who will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I, myself will require it of him.
20 Le ze mpitoky mieva misaontsy ami’ty añarako ie tsy nililiako hisaontsy; he hivolañe ami’ty añaran’ drahare ila’e, le havetrake i mpitoky zay.
Howbeit the prophet who shall presume to speak a word in my name which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.
21 Hera hatao’o ty hoe an-troke ao: Aia ty haharendreha’ay ty entañe tsy nisaontsie’ Iehovà?
And, when thou shalt say in thy heart, —In what manner shall we know the word which Yahweh hath not spoken!?,
22 Naho misaontsy amy tahina’ Iehovà ty mpitoky f’ie tsy pok’eo mbore tsy mifetsake, le tsy nitsarae’ Iehovà i entañe zay. Nanao ty nisatri’e avao i mpitokiy, ko ihembaña’o.
When the prophet shall speak in the name of Yahweh and the word shall not come to pass, neither shall come in, that, is the word which Yahweh, hath not spoken, —presumptuously, hath the prophet spoken it, thou shall not be in dread of him.
