Sharciga Kunoqoshadiisa 18
1 Wadaaddada reer Laawi iyo xataa qabiilka reer Laawi oo dhan waa inayan reer binu Israa'iil qayb iyo dhaxal toona la yeelan, laakiinse waa inay cunaan qurbaannada Rabbiga oo dabka lagu sameeyo iyo isaga dhaxalkiisa.
“The priests, who are all from the tribe of Levi, will not receive any land in Israel. Instead, they will receive some of the food that other people offer to be burned [on the altar to be sacrificed] to Yahweh and some of the other sacrifices that will be offered to Yahweh.
2 Oo iyagu waa inayan walaalahood dhaxal ku dhex yeelan. Dhaxalkooda waxaa ah Rabbiga siduu u sheegay.
They will not be allotted any land like the other tribes will be. What they will receive is the work/privilege of being Yahweh’s [priests], which is what he said that they should have.
3 Oo dadka allabariga bixiya waxaa ku waajib ah inay wadaadka siiyaan, hadday dibi bixiyaan iyo hadday wan bixiyaanba, garabka iyo labada daan iyo caloosha.
“When the people bring an ox or a sheep to be sacrificed, they must give to the priests the shoulder, the cheeks/jaws, and the stomach of those animals.
4 Oo isaga waa inaad siisaan waxa ugu horreeya hadhuudhkiinna iyo khamrigiinna, iyo saliiddiinna, iyo dhogorta ugu horraysa idihiinna.
You must also give to them the first part of the grain that you [harvest], and the first part of the wine [that you make], and the first part of the [olive] oil [that you make], and the first part of the wool that you shear from your sheep.
5 Waayo, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ayaa isaga ka dhex doortay qabiilooyinkiinna oo dhan inuu isagu istaago oo ku adeego magaca Rabbiga, isaga iyo carruurtiisuba weligood.
You must do this because Yahweh our God has chosen the tribe of Levi from all of your tribes, in order that men [from that tribe] would always be the priests who would serve him.
6 Oo haddii mid reer Laawi ahu uu ka soo baxo magaalooyinkiinna middood, taasoo ah meeshuu dalka Israa'iil ka degganaa, oo isagoo aad u doonaya inuu yimaado meesha Rabbigu uu dooranayo,
“If any man from the tribe of Levi [who has been living] in one of the towns in Israel wants to come from there to the place of worship that Yahweh has chosen, [and start living there],
7 markaas waa inuu ku adeegaa magaca Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah siday wada yeelaan walaalihiisa reer Laawi oo Rabbiga hortiisa taagan oo dhammu.
he is permitted to serve Yahweh there as a priest, just like the other men from the tribe of Levi who have been serving there.
8 Oo iyagu waa inay cunaan qayb isle'eg, oo aanay ku jirin waxa laga helo xoolaha aabbahood oo la iibiyo.
He must be given the same amount of food [that the other priests receive]. He is permitted to keep the money [that his relatives give him] for selling some of their possessions.
9 Oo markaad gashaan dalkii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu idin siinayo waa inaydaan baran inaad samaysaan waxyaalaha karaahiyo ah oo ay quruumahaasu sameeyaan.
When you enter the land that Yahweh our God is giving you, you must not imitate the disgusting things that the people-groups who are there now do.
10 Oo dhexdiinna waa inaan laga helin mid wiilkiisa ama gabadhiisa dab dhex mariya, ama mid faal ku isticmaala, ama mid xiddigaha ku faaliya, ama qumay, ama mid wax fala,
You must not sacrifice any of your children by burning them [on your altars]. Do not practice (divination/using supernatural power to reveal [what will happen in] the future). Do not do/practice (soothsaying/magic to find out what will happen in the future). Do not (interpret omens/say that because of something that you have seen you know what will happen). Do not practice sorcery/witchcraft. Do not practice (putting spells on people/saying things to cause bad things to happen to others).
11 ama falanfallow, ama mid qof ruuxaan leh la hadla, ama sixirow, ama mid kuwa dhintay la hadla.
Do not try to talk with spirits of dead people. Do not do/practice magic.
12 Waayo, ku alla kii waxyaalahaas sameeyaa waa u karaahiyo Rabbiga, oo waxyaalahan karaahiyada ah daraaddood ayaa Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu iyaga hortiinna uga eryayaa.
Yahweh hates people who do any of those disgusting things. And as you advance through that land, he is going to expel the people-groups because they do/practice those disgusting things.
13 Waa inaad Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah dhammaan u qummanaataan.
But you must always avoid doing any of those things.
14 Maxaa yeelay, quruumahaas aad hantiyi doontaan waxay dhegaystaan kuwa xiddigaha ku faaliya iyo faalshowyada kale, laakiinse idinka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu idiinma uu oggolaan inaad saasoo kale yeeshaan.
The people-groups that you are about to expel [from the land that you will occupy] (consult/seek advice from) soothsayers and those who practice divination. But as for you, Yahweh our God does not allow you to do that.
15 Oo Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu wuxuu dhexdiinna idiinka kicin doonaa nebi sidayda oo kale oo walaalihiinna ka mid ah, oo idinku waa inaad isaga dhegaysataan,
[Some day] he will send from among you a prophet like me. [He is the one who will tell you what will happen in the future], and he is the one whom you must heed.
16 sidaad Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah uga doonayseen maalintii shirka markaad Xoreeb joogteen oo aad tidhaahdeen, Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah codkiisa yaannan mar dambe maqlin, oo dabkan weynna yaannan mar dambe arkin, si aannan u dhiman.
On the day that your ancestors were gathered at the bottom of Sinai Mountain, they pleaded with me saying, ‘We do not want Yahweh to speak [MTY] to us again, and we do not want to see this huge fire [that is burning on the mountain]!’ [Your ancestors said that because they were afraid] that they would die [if Yahweh spoke to them again].
17 Oo markaas Rabbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Wixii ay ku hadleen si wanaagsan bay u yidhaahdeen.
Then Yahweh said to me, ‘What they have said is true/wise.
18 Waxaan iyaga walaalahood uga dhex kicin doonaa nebi sidaada oo kale ah, oo markaasaan afkiisa gelin doonaa erayadayda, oo isna wuxuu iyaga kula hadli doonaa wax alla waxaan isaga ku amri doono oo dhan.
So I will send from among them a prophet who will be like you. I will tell him what to say, and then he will tell people everything that I tell him to say.
19 Oo waxay noqon doontaa in ku alla kii aan maqlin erayadayda uu magacayga ku sheegi doono, isagaan weyddiin doonaa.
He will speak for me. And I will punish anyone who does not heed what he says.
20 Laakiinse nebigii wax aanan ku amrin leh oo si kibir ah magacayga ugu hadla, ama kii ilaahyo kale magacood ku hadlaa, nebigaasu waa inuu dhintaa.
But if any other [person says that he is a] prophet [and] dares to speak a message which he falsely says comes from me but which I did not tell him to speak, or if anyone who speaks a message that he says other gods [MTY] have revealed to him, he must be executed [for doing that].’
21 Oo haddaad qalbigiinna iska tidhaahdaan, Sidee baannu u garanaynaa eraygii aan Rabbigu ku hadlin?
But if you say to yourself, ‘How can we know if a message [that someone tells us] does not come from Yahweh?’
22 Markii nebi ku hadlo magaca Rabbiga, haddii wixii uu ku hadlay ayan ahaan oo ayan noqon, waxaas ayaa ah waxa aanu Rabbigu ku hadlin. Nebigu si kibir ah buu u hadlay ee waa inaydaan ka cabsan innaba.
[The answer is that] when someone speaks a message [about what will happen in the future], a message that he says was revealed by Yahweh, if what he says does not happen, [you will know that] the message did not come from Yahweh. That person has wrongly claimed that it was revealed to him by Yahweh. So you do not need to be afraid of [anything that] he [says].”
