Keessa Deebii 18
1 Luboonni warri Lewwota taʼan jechuunis gosti Lewwii hundi Israaʼel wajjin qooda lafaa yookaan dhaala hin argatan. Isaan aarsaa ibiddaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼaatu irraa haa nyaatan; kun qooda isaaniitii.
The priests, the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: the fire-offerings of the Lord, and his inheritance shall they consume.
2 Isaan obboloota isaanii gidduutti dhaala tokko iyyuu hin qabaatin; akkuma inni isaan abdachiisetti Waaqayyo dhaala isaaniitii.
But any inheritance shall he not have among his brethren: the Lord is his inheritance, as he hath spoken unto him.
3 Qoodni luboonni saba aarsaa kormaa yookaan hoolaa dhiʼeessu irraa argachuu malan foon harkaa, kan mangaagaatii fi miʼa garaa ti.
And this shall be the priests' due from the people, from them that slay an animal, whether it be ox or lamb: then shall each one give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
4 Mataa midhaan keetii, daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitii kee kan jalqabaa akkasumas suufii jalqabaa kan hoolaa kee irraa haaddu isaanii kennuu qabda;
The first-fruit of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thy oil, and the first shearing of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
5 kunis sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka isaan yeroo hunda dhaabatanii maqaa Waaqayyootiin tajaajilaniif gosoota kee hunda keessaa sanyii isaanii filateef.
For him the Lord thy God hath chosen out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the Lord, he and his sons all the days.
6 Lewwichi tokko yoo magaalaawwan kee kanneen guutummaa Israaʼel keessatti argaman kam iyyuu keessaa iddoo jiraatuu baʼee garaa guutuudhaan iddoo Waaqayyo Waaqni filatu dhufe,
And if the Levite come from any one of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and come with all the longing of his soul unto the place which the Lord will choose:
7 innis akkuma Lewwota fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhaabatanii tajaajilaniitti achitti maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa isaatiin haa tajaajilu.
Then can he minister in the name of the Lord his God, like all his brethren the Levites, who stand there before the Lord.
8 Inni qabeenya maatii isaa kan gurguramu irraa maallaqa argatu illee Lewwota michoota isaa wajjin faayidaa argamu wal qixxee hirmaachuu qaba.
They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
9 Ati yommuu biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennutti galtutti, hojii balfamaa saboonni achi jiraatan hojjetan sana hojjechuu hin baratin.
When thou comest into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 Namni ilma isaa yookaan intala isaa ibiddatti aarsaa godhu, namni waa himu yookaan falfala hojjetu, namni milkii ilaalu, tolfattuun,
There shall not be found among thee any one who causeth his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who useth divination, one who is an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a conjurer.
11 yookaan xibaartuun, ilaaltuun yookaan eker dubbistuun yookaan namni nama duʼe wajjin dubbatu tokko iyyuu gidduu keetti hin argamin.
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or who inquireth of the dead.
12 Namni waan akkasii hojjetu kam iyyuu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti balfamaa dha; sababii hojii jibbisiisaa kanaatiifis Waaqayyo Waaqni fuula kee duraa saboota ariʼee ni baasa.
For an abomination unto the Lord are all that do these things; and on account of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Ati fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti hirʼina malee jiraachuu qabda.
Perfect shalt thou be with the Lord thy God.
14 Saboonni ati lafa isaanii irraa buqqiftu warra falfala hojjetan yookaan warra ilaalanii dha. Garuu akka ati waan akkasii hojjettu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif hin eeyyamamne.
For these nations, which thou art about to dispossess, hearken unto observers of times, and unto diviners; but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not assigned the like unto thee.
15 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee obboloota kee keessaa raajii akka kootii tokko siif kaasa. Atis isa dhagaʼuu qabda.
A prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me, will the Lord thy God raise up unto thee; unto him shall ye hearken:
16 Wanni ati gaafa waldaan Kooreebitti walitti qabame, “Ani akka hin duuneef lammata sagalee Waaqayyo Waaqa kootii hin dhagaʼu yookaan ibidda guddaa kana siʼachi hin argu” jettee Waaqayyoon Waaqa kee kadhatte kanaatii.
According to all that thou didst desire of the Lord thy God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, I wish no more to hear the voice of the Lord my God, and this great fire I wish not to see again, that I die not.
17 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe: “Wanni isaan jedhan gaarii dha.
And the Lord said unto me, They have done well in what they have spoken.
18 Ani raajii akka keetii obboloota isaanii gidduudhaa isaaniif nan kaasa; dubbii koo afaan isaa keessa nan kaaʼa; innis waan ani isa ajaju hunda isaanitti hima.
A prophet will I raise up unto them from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I may command him.
19 Nama dubbii koo kan raajiin maqaa kootiin dubbatu dhagaʼuu didu kam iyyuu, ani mataan koo isa nan gaafadha.
And it shall come to pass, that if there be a man who will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him.
20 Garuu raajiin waan maqaa kootiin dubbatu fakkeessee waan ani akka inni dubbatu isa hin ajajin kam iyyuu dubbatu yookaan kan maqaa waaqota biraatiin dubbatu haa ajjeefamu.”
But the prophet, who may presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who may speak in the name of other Gods even that prophet shall die.
21 Ati garaa keetti, “Nu dubbii Waaqayyo nutti hin dubbatin akkamitti beekuu dandeenya?” jetta taʼa.
And if thou shouldst say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?
22 Yoo wanni raajiin tokko maqaa Waaqayyootiin dubbate utuu hin guutamin hafe, dubbiin sun dubbii Waaqayyo hin dubbatinii dha. Raajiin sun itti fakkeessee dubbateeraatii isa hin sodaatin.
That which the prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, and the thing do not happen and come not to pass— this is the word which the Lord hath not spoken; in presumption hath the prophet spoken it; thou shalt not be afraid of him.
