< Torati 18 >
1 Makuhani, ambao ni Walawi, na makabila yote ya Lawi, hayatakuwa na mgao wala urithi pamoja na Israel; wanapaswa kula dhabihu ya Yahwe iliyotengenezwa kwa moto kama urithi wao.
Preestis and dekenes, and alle men that ben of the same lynage, schulen `not haue part and eritage with the tother puple of Israel, for thei schulen ete the sacrifices of the Lord, and the offryngis of hym;
2 Hawatakuwa na urithi miongoni mwa ndugu zao; Yahwe ni urithi wao, kama alivyosema nao.
and thei schulen not take ony othir thing of the possessioun of her britheren; for the Lord hym silf is the `eritage of hem, as he spak to hem.
3 Hii ni sababu ya makuhani kutoka kwa watu, kutoka kwa wale wanaotoa dhabihu, kama itakuwa ng'ombe au kondoo: wanapaswa kutoa kwa kuhani bega, mashavu mawili, na sehemu za ndani.
This schal be the doom of preestis of the puple, and of hem that offren sacrifices; whether `thei offren an oxe, ether a scheep, thei schulen yyue to the preest the schuldre, and the paunche, the firste fruytis of wheete,
4 Mazao ya kwanza ya nafaka zako, mvinyo wako mpya, na mafuta yako, na manyoya ya kwanza ya kondoo zako, unapaswa umpe.
and of wyn, and of oile, and a part of wollis of the scheryng of scheep.
5 Kwa kuwa Yahwe Mungu wako amemchagua kutoka kwenye makabila yote yako kusimama kutumika kwa jina la Yahwe, yeye na wana wake milele.
For thi Lord God chees hym of alle thi lynagis, that he stonde and mynystre to `the name of the Lord, he and hise sones, with outen ende.
6 Kama Mlawi anatoka kati ya miji yenu nje ya Israel yote kutoka ambapo anaishi, na utamani kwa moyo wake wote kuja katika eneo Yahwe atachagua,
If a dekene goith out of oon of thi citees of al Israel, in which he dwellith, `and wole come and desirith the place which the Lord chees,
7 basi anapaswa kutumika kwa jina la Yahwe Mungu wake kama ndugu zake wote Walawi wanafanya, wanaosimama mbele ya Yahwe.
he schal mynystre in the name of his Lord God as alle hise britheren dekenes, that schulen stonde in that tyme byfore the Lord.
8 Wanapaswa kuwa na mgao wa kufanana wa kula, badala ya kile kinachokuja kutokana na mauzo ya urithi wa familia yake.
He schal take the same part of meetis, `which and othere dekenes schulen take; outakun that that is due to hym in his citee, bi `successioun ethir eritage `of fadir.
9 Wakati mmekuja katika nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wenu anawapa, mnapaswa kujifunza kuangalia machukizo ya mataifa.
Whanne thou hast entrid in to the lond which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee, be thou war lest thou wole sue abhomynaciouns of tho folkis;
10 Pasipatikana miongoni mwenu mmoja anayemweka kijana wake au binti yake kwenye moto, yeyote anatumia uganga, yeyote anatabiri, au mchawi, mchawi yeyote,
noon be foundun in thee that clensith his sone, ether his douytir, `and ledith bi the fier, ethir that axith questiouns of dyuynouris `that dyuynen aboute the auteris, and that taketh hede to dremes and chiteryng of bryddis; nethir ony wicche be,
11 yeyote aongeae na wafu, au yeyote aongeae na roho.
nethir an enchauntere, `that is, that disseyueth mennus iyen that a thing seme that is not; nether a man take counsel at hem that han a feend spekynge `in the wombe, nether take counsel at false dyuynouris nethir seke of deed men the treuthe.
12 Kwa yeyote afanyae mambo haya ni chukizo kwa Yahwe; ni kwa sababu ya machukizo haya ambayo Yahwe Mungu wenu anawaondosha mbele zenu.
For the Lord hath abhomynacioun of alle these thingis, and for siche wickidnessis he schal do awei hem in thin entryng.
13 Mnapaswa kuwa wakamilifu mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wenu.
Thou schalt be perfit and without filthe, with thi Lord God.
14 Kwa mataifa haya ambayo mtayafukuza kusikiliza wale wafanyao uchawi na uganga; lakini kwenu, Yahwe Mungu wenu amewakataza ninyi kufanya hivyo.
These hethen men, `the lond of whiche thou schalt welde, heren hem that worchen bi chiteryng of briddis, and false dyuynouris; forsothe thou art tauyt in other maner of thi Lord God.
15 Yahwe Mungu wenu atainua kwa ajili yenu nabii kutoka miongoni mwenu, mmoja wa ndugu zenu, kama mimi. Mnapaswa kumsikiliza.
Thi Lord God schal reise a prophete of thi folk and of thi britheren as me, thou schalt here hym;
16 Hiki ndicho mlichouliza kutoka kwa Yahwe Mungu wenu huko Horebu katika siku ya kusanyiko, kusema, “Acha tusisikie tena sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wetu, wala kuona moto mkuu tena, wala tutakufa.”
as thou axidist of thi Lord God in Oreb, whanne the cumpany was gaderid, and thou seidist, Y schal no more here the vois of my Lord God, and Y schal no more se `this grettiste fier, lest Y die.
17 Yahwe alisema nami, “Kile walichosema ni kizuri.
And the Lord seide to me, Thei spaken wel alle thingis.
18 Nitamwinua nabii kwa ajili yao kutoka miongoni mwa ndugu zao, kama wewe. Nitaweka maneno yangu katika kinywa chake, na ataongea nao yote niliyowakuamuru.
Y schal reise to hem a prophete, lijk thee, of the myddis of her britheren, and Y schal putte my wordis in his mouth, and he schal speke to hem alle thingis, whiche I schal comaunde to him.
19 Itakuwa kama yeyote hatasikia maneno yangu ambayo anazungumza kwa jina langu, nitalitaka kwake.
Forsothe Y schal be vengere of `that man, that nyle here the wordis `of hym, whiche he schal speke in my name.
20 Lakini nabii ambaye anazungumza neno kwa kiburi kwa jina langu, neno ambalo sijamuamuru kusema, au ambaye anayezungumza kwa jina la miungu mingine, huyo nabii atakufa.
`Sotheli a prophete `schal be slayn, which is bischrewid with pride, and wole speke in my name tho thingis, whiche Y comaundide not to hym, that he schulde seie, ethir bi the name of alien goddis.
21 Hivyo ndivyo unapaswa kusema katika mioyo yenu: “Tutagunduaje kuwa ujumbe ambao Yahwe hajazungumza?
That if thou answerist bi pryuy thouyt, Hou may Y vndirstonde the word, which the Lord spak not? thou schalt haue this signe,
22 Mtagundua ujumbe ambao Yahwe amezungumza pindi nabii azungumzapo kwa jina la Yahwe. Kama hiyo haitokei wala kufanyika, basi hicho ni kile ambacho Yahwe hajazungumza na nabii amezungumza kwa kiburi, na hampaswi kumuogopa.
`The Lord spak not this thing which thilke prophete biforseid in the name of the Lord, `and it bifallith not, but `the prophete feynede bi the pride of his soule, and therfor thou schalt not drede hym.
