5 Mojzes 18
1 Duhovniki Lévijevci in ves Lévijev rod ne bodo imeli niti deleža niti dediščine z Izraelom. Jedli bodo Gospodove daritve, narejene z ognjem in [od] njegove dediščine.
The priests and the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire and his portion.
2 Zato ne bodo imeli dediščine med svojim brati. Gospod je njihova dediščina, kakor jim je rekel.
They shall have no inheritance amongst their brothers. The LORD is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
3 In to bo pripadlo duhovniku od ljudstva, od tistih, ki darujejo klavno daritev, bodisi je to vol ali ovca; in duhovniku bodo dali pleče, dve ličnici in vamp.
This shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest: the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the inner parts.
4 Tudi prve sadove svojega žita, svojega vina, svojega olja in prvo runo svojih ovc mu boš dal.
You shall give him the first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep.
5 Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, ga je izbral izmed vseh tvojih rodov, da stoji, da služi v Gospodovem imenu, njemu in njegovim sinovom na veke.
For the LORD your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in the LORD’s name, him and his sons forever.
6 Če pride Lévijevec od katerihkoli izmed tvojih velikih vrat, ven iz vsega Izraela, kjer je začasno bival in pride z vso željo svojega uma na kraj, ki ga bo Gospod izbral,
If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel where he lives, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which the LORD shall choose,
7 potem bo služil v imenu Gospoda, svojega Boga, kakor počno vsi njegovi bratje Lévijevci, ki stojijo tam pred Gospodom.
then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before the LORD.
8 Za jesti bodo imeli podobne obroke, poleg tega, kar pride od prodaje imetja njegovega očeta.
They shall have like portions to eat, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions.
9 Ko prideš v deželo, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, se ne boš naučil ravnati po gnusobah teh narodov.
When you have come into the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the abominations of those nations.
10 Naj ne bo najti med vami nikogar, ki primora svojega sina ali svojo hčer, da gre skozi ogenj ali da uporablja vedeževanje ali astrologa ali uročevalca ali čarovnico
There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who tells fortunes, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
11 ali zaklinjevalca ali posvetovalca z osebnimi duhovi ali čarovnika ali rotilca duhov umrlih.
or a charmer, or someone who consults with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 Kajti vsi ti, ki počno te stvari, so gnusoba Gospodu in zaradi teh gnusob jih bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, pognal izpred tebe.
For whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD. Because of these abominations, the LORD your God drives them out from before you.
13 Popoln boš z Gospodom, svojim Bogom.
You shall be blameless with the LORD your God.
14 Kajti ti narodi, ki se jih boš polastil, so poslušali astrologe in vedeževalce, toda kar se tebe tiče, ti Gospod, tvoj Bog, ni dopustil, da tako počneš.
For these nations that you shall dispossess listen to those who practise sorcery and to diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you so to do.
15 Gospod, tvoj Bog, ti bo iz tvoje srede, izmed tvojih bratov, obudil Preroka, podobnega meni. Njemu boste prisluhnili,
The LORD your God will raise up to you a prophet from amongst you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.
16 glede na vse, kar si na Horebu želel od Gospoda, svojega Boga, na dan zbora, rekoč: ›Naj ne poslušam ponovno glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga niti naj ne vidim več tega velikega ognja, da ne umrem.‹
This is according to all that you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again the LORD my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.”
17 Gospod mi je rekel: ›Dobro so govorili to, kar so govorili.
The LORD said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.
18 Vzdignil jim bom preroka izmed njihovih bratov, podobnega tebi in svoje besede bom položil v njegova usta in govoril jim bo vse, kar mu bom zapovedal.
I will raise them up a prophet from amongst their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
19 In zgodilo se bo, da kdorkoli ne bo prisluhnil mojim besedam, ki jih bo govoril v mojem imenu, bom to zahteval od njega.
It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 Toda prerok, ki si bo predrznil govoriti besedo v mojem imenu, ki mu je nisem zapovedal govoriti ali ki bo govoril v imenu drugih bogov, celo ta prerok bo umrl.‹
But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”
21 In če v svojem srcu rečeš: ›Kako bomo spoznali besedo, ki je Gospod ni govoril?‹
You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?”
22 Kadar prerok spregovori v Gospodovem imenu, če stvar ne sledi niti se ne zgodi, to je stvar, ki je Gospod ni rekel, temveč je prerok to prepotentno govoril. Ne boš se ga bal.
When a prophet speaks in the LORD’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.
