Deuteronomy 18

1 The priests the Levites, [and] all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.

Sveštenici Leviti i sve pleme Levijevo da nemaju dijela ni našljedstva s ostalijem sinovima Izrailjevijem; neka jedu ognjene žrtve Gospodnje i njegovo našljedstvo.

2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD [is] their inheritance, as he hath said to them.

Našljedstva dakle da nemaju meðu braæom svojom: Gospod je našljedstvo njihovo, kao što im je kazao.

3 And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep; and they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.

Ali ovo da pripada sveštenicima od naroda, od onijeh koji prinesu žrtvu, bilo vola ili jagnje: da se daje svešteniku pleæe i obje vilice i želudac.

4 The first-fruit [also] of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thy oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.

Prvine od žita svojega, od vina svojega i od ulja svojega, i prvine od vune s ovaca svojih podaj mu.

5 For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.

Jer njega izabra Gospod Bog tvoj izmeðu svijeh plemena tvojih da stoji i služi u ime Gospodnje on i sinovi njegovi dovijeka.

6 And if a Levite shall come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind to the place which the LORD shall choose;

I kad doðe koji Levit iz kojega god mjesta tvojega iz svega Izrailja, gdje nastava, kad doðe po želji duše svoje u mjesto koje izbere Gospod,

7 Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites [do], who stand there before the LORD.

Neka služi u ime Gospoda Boga svojega kao i druga braæa njegova Leviti, koji ondje stoje pred Gospodom.

8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.

Neka jedu jednak dio, osim onoga što bi koji prodao u porodici otaca svojih.

9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

Kad uðeš u zemlju koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje, ne uèi se èiniti gadna djela onijeh naroda.

10 There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,

Neka se ne naðe u tebe koji bi vodio sina svojega ili kæer svoju kroz oganj, ni vraèar, ni koji gata po zvijezdama, ni koji gata po pticama, ni uroènik,

11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

Ni bajaè, ni koji se dogovara sa zlijem duhovima, ni opsjenar, ni koji pita mrtve.

12 For all that do these things [are] an abomination to the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

Jer je gad pred Gospodom ko god tako èini, i za take gadove tjera te narode Gospod Bog tvoj ispred tebe.

13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

Drži se sasvijem Gospoda Boga svojega.

14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened to observers of times, and to diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so [to do].

Jer ti narodi koje æeš naslijediti, slušaju gatare i vraèare; a tebi to ne dopušta Gospod Bog tvoj.

15 The LORD thy God will raise up to thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like to me; to him ye shall hearken.

Proroka isred tebe, izmeðu braæe tvoje, kao što sam ja, podignuæe ti Gospod Bog tvoj; njega slušajte,

16 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I may not die.

Po svemu kako si iskao od Gospoda Boga svojega na Horivu na dan sabora svojega govoreæi: da više ne èujem glasa Gospoda Boga svojega i da više ne gledam ognja toga velikoga, da ne poginem.

17 And the LORD said to me, They have well [spoken of that] which they have spoken.

Zato mi reèe Gospod: dobro rekoše što rekoše.

18 I will raise up to them a prophet from among their brethren, like thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.

Proroka æu im podignuti izmeðu braæe njihove, kao što si ti, i metnuæu rijeèi svoje u usta njegova, i kazivaæe im sve što mu zapovjedim.

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.

A ko god ne bi poslušao rijeèi mojih, koje æe govoriti u moje ime, od toga æu ja tražiti.

20 But the prophet, who shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

Ali prorok koji bi se usudio govoriti što u moje ime što mu ja ne zapovijedim da govori, ili koji bi govorio u ime drugih bogova, taki prorok da se pogubi.

21 And if thou shalt say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

Ako li reèeš u srcu svojem: kako æemo poznati rijeè koje nije Gospod rekao?

22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing doth not follow, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

Što bi prorok rekao u ime Gospodnje, pa se ne zbude i ne navrši se, to je rijeè koje nije rekao Gospod; nego je iz oholosti rekao onaj prorok, ne boj ga se.
