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 [Descendants of United with], all the tribe of Levi [United with], shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel [God prevails]. They shall eat the offerings of Adonai made by fire and his portion.
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.
They shall have no inheritance among their brothers. Adonai is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
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.
This shall be the priests’ mishpat ·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 Àkọ́so irúgbìn ọkà rẹ, ti wáìnì àti ti òróró rẹ, àti àkọ́rẹ́ irun àgùntàn rẹ ni ìwọ yóò fi fún wọn.
The first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the first fleece of your sheep, you shall give him.
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.
For Adonai your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in Adonai’s name, him and his sons forever.
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.
If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel [God prevails], where he lives as a foreigner, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which Adonai shall choose;
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.
then he shall minister in the name of Adonai his God, as all his brothers the Levites [Descendants of United with] do, who stand there before Adonai.
8 Wọn yóò ní ìpín kan láti jẹ, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ó ti gba owó nípa títa ogún baba rẹ̀.
They shall have like portions to eat, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions.
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.
When you have come into the land which Adonai your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate 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 with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
11 tàbí afògèdè, tàbí jẹ́ a bá iwin gbìmọ̀ tàbí oṣó tàbí abókùúsọ̀rọ̀.
or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a sorcerer, or a necromancer.
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 whoever does these things is detestable to Adonai. Because of these abominations, Adonai your God drives them out from before you.
13 O ní láti jẹ́ aláìlẹ́gàn níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ.
You shall be perfect with Adonai 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 these nations that you shall dispossess sh'ma ·hear obey· those who practice sorcery and to diviners; but as for you, Adonai your God has not allowed 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.
Adonai your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall sh'ma ·hear obey· him.
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.”
This is according to all that you desired of Adonai your God in Horeb [Desert] in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not sh'ma ·hear obey· again Adonai my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.”
17 Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Ohun tí wọ́n sọ dára.
Adonai said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.
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 them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall enjoin 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.
Whoever does not honor the words of the Prophet will give an account to God. The prophet's words are equal authority to God's words. It shall happen, that whoever will not sh'ma ·hear obey· my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of 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 who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not enjoined him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other deities, that same prophet shall die.”
21 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ lè wí ní ọkàn rẹ pé, “Báwo ni àwa yóò ṣe mọ ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa kò sọ?”
You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which Adonai 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.
When a prophet speaks in Adonai’s name, if the thing does not follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Adonai has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.
