Deuteronomy 18
1 Àwọn àlùfáà tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Lefi, àní gbogbo ẹ̀yà Lefi, wọn kì yóò ní ìpín tàbí ogún láàrín Israẹli, wọn yóò máa jẹ nínú ọrẹ ẹbọ tí a fi iná ṣe sí Olúwa, nítorí òun ni ogún un tiwọn.
The priests, the Levites, even the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel; the burnt offerings of the Lord [are] their inheritance, they shall eat them.
2 Wọn kì yóò ní ìní láàrín àwọn arákùnrin wọn; Olúwa ni yóò jẹ́ ìní i tiwọn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe ìlérí fún wọn.
And they shall have no inheritance among their brethren; the Lord himself [is] his portion, as he said to him.
3 Gbogbo èyí ni yóò jẹ́ ìpín àwọn àlùfáà láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn tí ó fi akọ màlúù tàbí àgùntàn rú ẹbọ; wọn yóò fi èjìká àti ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́ méjèèjì àti gbogbo inú fún àlùfáà.
And this [is] the due of the priests in the things coming from the people from those who offer sacrifices, whether it be a calf or a sheep; and you shall give the shoulder to the priest, and the cheeks, and the great intestine:
4 Àkọ́so irúgbìn ọkà rẹ, ti wáìnì àti ti òróró rẹ, àti àkọ́rẹ́ irun àgùntàn rẹ ni ìwọ yóò fi fún wọn.
and the first fruits of your corn, and of your wine, and of your oil; and you shall give to him the first fruits of the fleeces of your sheep:
5 Nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ti yàn wọ́n àti àwọn ọmọ wọn láti inú gbogbo ẹ̀yà láti dúró àti láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ní orúkọ Olúwa títí láé.
because the Lord has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand before the Lord your God, to minister and bless in his name, himself and his sons among the children of Israel.
6 Tí ọmọ Lefi kan bá sì wá láti ibikíbi nínú àwọn ìlú u yín ní Israẹli, níbi tí ó ń gbé ṣe àtìpó, tí ó sì wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ sí ibi tí Olúwa yóò yàn.
And if a Levite come from one of the cities of all the children of Israel, where he himself dwells, accordingly as his mind desires, to the place which he shall have chosen,
7 Nígbà náà ni ó lè máa ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ní orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ọmọ Lefi arákùnrin rẹ̀ ti ń dúró ṣe iṣẹ́ ìsìn níwájú Olúwa níbẹ̀.
he shall minister to the name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Levites, who stand there present before the Lord your God.
8 Wọn yóò ní ìpín kan láti jẹ, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ó ti gba owó nípa títa ogún baba rẹ̀.
He shall eat an allotted portion, besides the sale of his hereditary property.
9 Nígbà tí o bá wọ ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò fi fún ọ, ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ kọ́ láti tẹ̀lé àwọn ọ̀nà ìríra àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè náà tí ó wà níbẹ̀.
And when you shall have entered into the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.
10 Má ṣe jẹ́ kí a rí ẹnikẹ́ni láàrín yín tí ó fi ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tàbí ọmọ rẹ̀ obìnrin la iná já (fi ọmọ rẹ rú ẹbọ) kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe lọ fọ àfọ̀ṣẹ, tàbí ṣẹ́ oṣó, tàbí túmọ̀ àwọn àmì nǹkan tí ń bọ̀, tàbí àjẹ́,
There shall not be found in you one who purges his son or his daughter with fire, one who uses divination, who deals with omens, and augury,
11 tàbí afògèdè, tàbí jẹ́ a bá iwin gbìmọ̀ tàbí oṣó tàbí abókùúsọ̀rọ̀.
a sorcerer employing incantation, one who has in him a divining spirit, and observer of signs, questioning the dead.
12 Ẹnikẹ́ni tó bá ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ìríra sí Olúwa, àti nítorí àwọn ìwà ìríra wọ̀nyí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò fi lé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí jáde kúrò níwájú rẹ.
For every one that does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God; for because of these abominations the Lord will destroy them from before your face.
13 O ní láti jẹ́ aláìlẹ́gàn níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ.
You shall be perfect before the Lord your God.
14 Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ìwọ yóò gba ilẹ̀ tí wọ́n ń gbé, wọ́n fetí sí tí àwọn tí ó ń ṣe oṣó tàbí ṣe àfọ̀ṣẹ. Ṣùgbọ́n, ní ti ìwọ, Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ kò fi ààyè gbà ọ́ láti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
For all these nations whose [land] you shall inherit, they will listen to omens and divinations; but the Lord your God has not permitted you so [to do].
15 Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò gbé wòlíì kan dìde gẹ́gẹ́ bí èmi láàrín àwọn arákùnrin rẹ. Tìrẹ ni kí o gbọ́.
The Lord your God shall raise up to you a prophet of your brethren, like me; him shall you hear:
16 Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí ìwọ béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ní Horebu ní ọjọ́ àjọ, nígbà tí ìwọ wí pé, “Kí àwa má ṣe gbọ́ ohùn Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa tàbí rí iná ńlá yìí mọ́. Bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ àwa yóò kú.”
according to all things which you did desire of the Lord your God in Choreb in the day of the assembly, saying, We will not again hear the voice of the Lord your God, and we will not any more see this great fire, and [so] we shall not die.
17 Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Ohun tí wọ́n sọ dára.
And the Lord said to me, They have spoken rightly all that they have said to you.
18 Èmi yóò gbé wòlíì kan dìde fún wọn láàrín àwọn arákùnrin wọn bí ìwọ, Èmi yóò fi ọ̀rọ̀ mi sí i ní ẹnu, yóò sì sọ fún wọn gbogbo ohun tí mo ti paláṣẹ fún un.
I will raise up to them a prophet of their brethren, like you; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them as I shall command him.
19 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí kò bá sì tẹ́tí sí ọ̀rọ̀ mi tí wòlíì náà yóò sọ ní orúkọ mi, èmi fúnra à mi yóò sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
And whatever man shall not listen to whatever words that prophet shall speak in my name, I will take vengeance on him.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n bí wòlíì kan bá kùgbù sọ ọ̀rọ̀ kan tí èmi kò paláṣẹ fún un láti sọ ní orúkọ mi tàbí wòlíì tí ó sọ̀rọ̀ ní orúkọ ọlọ́run mìíràn, irú wòlíì bẹ́ẹ̀ ní láti kú.”
But the prophet whoever shall impiously speak in my name a word which I have not commanded him to speak, and whoever shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.
21 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ lè wí ní ọkàn rẹ pé, “Báwo ni àwa yóò ṣe mọ ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa kò sọ?”
But if you shall say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?
22 Nígbà tí ohun tí wòlíì bá sọ ní orúkọ Olúwa kò bá wá sí ìmúṣẹ tàbí jẹ́ òtítọ́, ìyẹn ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa kò sọ, irú wòlíì bẹ́ẹ̀ tí sọ láìwádìí. Kí ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
Whatsoever words that prophet shall speak in the name of the Lord, and they shall not come true, and not come to pass, this [is] the thing which the Lord has not spoken; that prophet has spoken wickedly: you shall not spare him.
