Второзаконие 18
1 Да не будет жерцем левитом всему племени Левиину части ниже жребия со Израилем: приношения Господу жребий их, да ядят я:
“The priests and the Levites, and all who are from the same tribe, shall have no portion or inheritance with the rest of Israel. For they shall eat the sacrifices of the Lord and his oblations.
2 жребий же да не будет ему в братии его: Господь Сам жребий его, якоже рече ему.
And they shall receive nothing else from the possession of their brothers. For the Lord himself is their inheritance, just as he said to them.
3 И сей суд жерцев, яже от людий, от приносящих жертвы, аще телца, аще овцу: и даси жерцу рамо, и челюсти, и утробу:
This shall be the recompense for the priests from the people, and from those who offer victims, whether they will immolate an ox or a sheep. They shall give to the priest the shoulder and the breast,
4 и начатки пшеницы твоея и вина твоего и елеа твоего, и начаток стрижения овец твоих да даси ему:
the first-fruits of grain, wine, and oil, and a portion of the wool from the shearing of the sheep.
5 яко того избра Господь Бог твой от всех племен твоих предстояти пред Господем Богом твоим, служити и благословити во имя Господне, той и сынове его во вся дни.
For the Lord your God himself has chosen him out of all your tribes, so that he may stand and minister to the name of the Lord, him and his sons, forever.
6 Аще же приидет левит от единаго градов ваших, от всех сынов Израилевых, идеже той обитает, якоже желает душа его, на место, еже изберет Господь,
If a Levite departs from one of the cities, throughout all of Israel, in which he lives, and if he wills and desires to go to the place which the Lord will choose,
7 да служит имени Господа Бога вашего, якоже и вся братия Его левити предстоящии тамо пред Господем:
he shall minister in the name of the Lord his God, as do all his brothers, the Levites, who will be standing at that time in the sight of the Lord.
8 часть отделеную да яст, кроме продажи яже по отечеству.
He shall receive the same portion of food as the rest also receive, besides that which is due to him in his own city, by succession from his fathers.
9 Аще же внидеши в землю, юже Господь Бог твой дает тебе, да не навыкнеши творити по мерзостем языков тех:
When you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, be careful that you are not willing to imitate the abominations of those nations.
10 да не обрящется в тебе очищая сына своего и дщерь свою огнем, волхвуя волхвованием и чаруяй и птицеволшебствуяй,
Do not let there be found among you one who would purify his son or daughter by leading them through fire, nor one who consults seers, nor one who observes dreams or omens. Do not let there be found among you one who practices the occult,
11 чародей обавая обаванием, утробоволхвуяй и знаменосмотритель, и вопрошаяй мертвых:
nor one who uses spells, nor one who consults demonic spirits, nor a diviner, nor one who seeks the truth from the dead.
12 есть бо мерзость Господеви Богу твоему всяк творяй сия: сих бо ради мерзостей потребит я Господь Бог твой от лица твоего.
For the Lord abominates all these things. And, because of these wicked ways, he will destroy them at your arrival.
13 Совершен да будеши пред Господем Богом твоим.
You shall be perfect and without blemish with the Lord your God.
14 Языцы бо сии, ихже ты наследиши, сии чарований и волхвований послушают: тебе же не тако даде Господь Бог твой.
These nations, whose land you shall possess, they listen to soothsayers and diviners. But you have been otherwise instructed by the Lord your God.
15 Пророка от братии твоея, якоже мене, возставит тебе Господь Бог твой, Того послушайте:
The Lord your God will raise up for you a PROPHET from your nation and from your brothers, similar to me. You shall listen to him,
16 по всему, елико просил еси от Господа Бога твоего в Хориве в день собрания, глаголюще: да не приложим слышати гласа Господа Бога нашего, и огня великаго сего не увидим по сем, да не измрем.
just as you petitioned of the Lord your God at Horeb, when the assembly was gathered together, and you said: ‘Let me no longer hear the voice of the Lord my God, and let me no longer see this very great fire, lest I die.’
17 И рече Господь ко мне: право вся, елика глаголаху к тебе:
And the Lord said to me: ‘They have spoken all these things well.
18 Пророка возставлю им от среды братии их, якоже тебе: и вдам слово Мое во уста Его, и возглаголет им, якоже заповедаю Ему:
I will raise up a prophet for them, from the midst of their brothers, similar to you. And I will place my words in his mouth, and he will speak to them all the things that I will instruct him.
19 и человек той, иже не послушает словес Его, елика возглаголет Пророк оный во имя Мое, Аз отмщу от него:
But against anyone who is not willing to listen to his words, which he will speak in my name, I will stand forth as the avenger.
20 обаче пророк, иже вознечествует глаголати во имя Мое слово, егоже не повелех ему глаголати, и иже аще возглаголет во имя богов инех, да умрет пророк той.
But if a prophet, having been corrupted by arrogance, chooses to speak, in my name, things which I did not instruct him to say, or to speak in the name of foreign gods, he shall be put to death.
21 Аще же речеши в сердцы своем: како познаем слово, егоже не глагола Господь?
But if, in silent thought, you respond: “How will I be able to recognize a word which the Lord has not spoken?”
22 Елика аще возглаголет пророк во имя Господне, и не сбудется, и не случится слово сие, егоже не рече Господь: в нечестии глагола Пророк той, не убойтеся его.
you shall have this sign. If whatever that prophet predicts in the name of the Lord does not happen, then the Lord has not spoken it. Instead, the prophet has formed it through the swelling of his own mind. And for this reason, you shall not fear him.’”
