Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests, the Levites, that is, all the tribe of Levi, will have no part or heritage with Israel: their food and their heritage will be the offerings of the Lord made by fire.
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 will have no heritage among their countrymen: the Lord is their heritage, as he has said to them.
Un mantības lai tiem nav savu brāļu vidū, Tas Kungs ir viņu mantība, itin kā Viņš uz tiem runājis.
3 And this is to be the priests' right: those who make an offering of a sheep or an ox are to give to the priest the top part of the leg and the two sides of the head and the stomach.
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 And in addition you are to give him the first of your grain and wine and oil, and the first wool cut from your sheep.
Savas labības, sava vīna un savas eļļas pirmajus, un pirmajus no savu avju cirpšanas tev būs viņam dot.
5 For he, and his sons after him for ever, have been marked out by the Lord your God from all your tribes, to do the work of priests in the name of the Lord.
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, moved by a strong desire, comes from any town in all Israel where he is living to the place marked out by the Lord;
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 will do the work of a priest in the name of the Lord his God, with all his brothers the Levites who are there before the Lord.
Un kalpo Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdā, kā visi viņa brāļi, tie Leviti, kas tur Tā Kunga priekšā stāv,
8 His food will be the same as theirs, in addition to what has come to him as the price of his property.
Tad lai tie ēd līdzīgu daļu, pāri par viņu ienākumu no tēvu puses.
9 When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, do not take as your example the disgusting ways 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 Let there not be seen among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter go through the fire, or anyone using secret arts, or a maker of strange sounds, or a reader of signs, or any wonder-worker,
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 anyone using secret force on people, or putting questions to a spirit, or having secret knowledge, or going to the dead for directions.
Ne vārdotājs, ne pareģis, ne pesteļu cienītājs, nedz miroņu vaicātājs.
12 For all who do such things are disgusting to the Lord; and because of these disgusting things the Lord your God is driving them out before you.
Jo visi, kas to dara, Tam Kungam ir negantība, un šīs negantības dēļ Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tos izdzen tavā priekšā.
13 You are to be upright in heart before the Lord your God.
Bezvainīgam tev būs būt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā.
14 For these nations, whose land you are taking, give attention to readers of signs and to those using secret arts: but the Lord your God will not let you 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 The Lord your God will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to him;
Pravieti, kāds es esmu, Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev cels no tava vidus, no taviem brāļiem, - tam jums būs klausīt.
16 In answer to the request you made to the Lord your God in Horeb on the day of the great meeting, when you said, Let not the voice of the Lord my God come to my ears again, and let me not see this great fire any more, or death will overtake me.
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 Then the Lord said to me, What they have said is well said.
Tad Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: tas ir labi, ko tie runājuši.
18 I will give them a prophet from among themselves, like you, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he will say to them whatever I give him orders to say.
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 whoever does not give ear to my words which he will say in my name, will be responsible to me.
Un ja kāds neklausīs Maniem vārdiem, ko viņš runās Manā Vārdā, no tā Es to prasīšu.
20 But the prophet who takes it on himself to say words in my name which I have not given him orders to say, or who says anything in the name of other gods, will come to his death.
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 you say in your hearts, How are we to be certain that the word does not come from the Lord?
Ja tu tad savā sirdī sacīsi: kā lai pazīstam to vārdu, ko Tas Kungs nav runājis? -
22 When a prophet makes a statement in the name of the Lord, if what he says does not take place and his words do not come true, then his word is not the word of the Lord: the words of the prophet were said in the pride of his heart, and you are to have no fear 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.
