Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests the Levites, even all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, and his inheritance.
Priesteriem, Levitiem, visai Levja ciltij lai nav nedz daļas nedz mantības līdz ar Israēli; lai tie ēd no Tā Kunga uguns upuriem un no Viņa mantas daļas.
2 And they shall have no inheritance among their brothers. Jehovah is their inheritance as he has spoken to them.
Un mantības lai tiem nav savu brāļu vidū, Tas Kungs ir viņu mantība, itin kā Viņš uz tiem runājis.
3 And 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, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
Šī nu lai ir tā priesteru tiesa no tiem ļaudīm, no tiem, kas kādu upuri upurē, lai tas ir vērsis vai avs; priesterim lai dod pleci, abus žokļus un kuņģi.
4 The first-fruits of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, thou shall give him.
Savas labības, sava vīna un savas eļļas pirmajus, un pirmajus no savu avju cirpšanas tev būs viņam dot.
5 For Jehovah thy God has chosen him out of all thy tribes to stand to minister in the name of Jehovah, him and his sons forever.
Jo Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, viņu ir izredzējis no visām tavām ciltīm, lai tas stāv un kalpo Tā Kunga vārdam, viņš un viņa dēli visu mūžu.
6 And if a Levite comes from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourns, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which Jehovah shall choose,
Un ja kāds Levits nāk no kādiem Israēla vārtiem, kur viņš piemīt, un nāk, tā kā viņa dvēselei tīk, uz to vietu, ko Tas Kungs izredzēs,
7 then he shall minister in the name of Jehovah his God, as all his brothers the Levites do who stand there before Jehovah.
Un kalpo Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdā, kā visi viņa brāļi, tie Leviti, kas tur Tā Kunga priekšā stāv,
8 They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which comes of the sale of his patrimony.
Tad lai tie ēd līdzīgu daļu, pāri par viņu ienākumu no tēvu puses.
9 When thou have come into the land, which Jehovah thy God gives thee, thou shall not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.
Kad tu nāc tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos, tad tev nebūs mācīties darīt pēc šo pagānu negantībām.
10 There shall not be found with thee anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, a psychic, he who practices augury, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
Lai tavā starpā netop atrasts, kas savam dēlam vai savai meitai liek iet caur uguni, neviens zīlnieks, ne burvis, ne pūšļotājs, ne riebējs,
11 or a charmer, or a medium, or a spiritist, or a necromancer.
Ne vārdotājs, ne pareģis, ne pesteļu cienītājs, nedz miroņu vaicātājs.
12 For whoever does these things is an abomination to Jehovah. And because of these abominations Jehovah thy God drives them out from before thee.
Jo visi, kas to dara, Tam Kungam ir negantība, un šīs negantības dēļ Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tos izdzen tavā priekšā.
13 Thou shall be perfect with Jehovah thy God.
Bezvainīgam tev būs būt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā.
14 For these nations, that thou shall dispossess, hearken to those who practice augury, and to psychics. But as for thee, Jehovah thy God has not allowed thee to do so.
Jo šās tautas, ko tu izdzīsi, cienī burvjus un zīlniekus, bet tev tā neklājās; tev Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tā nav devis.
15 Jehovah thy God will raise up for thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brothers, like me. Ye shall hearken to him,
Pravieti, kāds es esmu, Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev cels no tava vidus, no taviem brāļiem, - tam jums būs klausīt.
16 according to all that thou desired of Jehovah thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Jehovah my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.
Pēc visa tā, ko tu esi lūdzies no Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, Horebā, sapulces dienā, sacīdams: es vairs negribu dzirdēt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsi, un negribu vairs redzēt šo lielo uguni, ka nemirstu.
17 And Jehovah said to me, They have well said that which they have spoken.
Tad Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: tas ir labi, ko tie runājuši.
18 I will raise up a prophet for them from among their brothers, like thee. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
Es tiem celšu pravieti, kāds tu esi, no viņu brāļu vidus, un Es likšu Savu vārdu viņa mutē, un viņš runās uz tiem visu, ko Es tam pavēlēšu.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whoever will not hearken to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
Un ja kāds neklausīs Maniem vārdiem, ko viņš runās Manā Vārdā, no tā Es to prasīšu.
20 But the prophet, who shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.
Bet tas pravietis, kas iedrošinājās runāt Manā Vārdā, ko Es tam neesmu pavēlējis runāt, vai ja tas citu dievu vārdā runās, šim pravietim būs mirt.
21 And if thou say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which Jehovah has not spoken?
Ja tu tad savā sirdī sacīsi: kā lai pazīstam to vārdu, ko Tas Kungs nav runājis? -
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah, if the thing does not follow, nor come to pass, that is the thing which Jehovah has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. Thou shall not be afraid of him.
Kad tas pravietis Tā Kunga Vārdā runās, un tas vārds nenotiek un nenāk, - tad šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs nav runājis, tas pravietis to ir aplam runājis, tāpēc nebīsties no viņa.
