Ponovljeni Zakon 18
1 Sveštenici Leviti i sve pleme Levijevo da nemaju dijela ni našljedstva s ostalijem sinovima Izrailjevijem; neka jedu ognjene žrtve Gospodnje i njegovo našljedstvo.
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 Našljedstva dakle da nemaju meðu braæom svojom: Gospod je našljedstvo njihovo, kao što im je kazao.
They shall have no inheritance among their brothers. Adonai is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
3 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.
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 Prvine od žita svojega, od vina svojega i od ulja svojega, i prvine od vune s ovaca svojih podaj mu.
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 Jer njega izabra Gospod Bog tvoj izmeðu svijeh plemena tvojih da stoji i služi u ime Gospodnje on i sinovi njegovi dovijeka.
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 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,
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 Neka služi u ime Gospoda Boga svojega kao i druga braæa njegova Leviti, koji ondje stoje pred Gospodom.
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 Neka jedu jednak dio, osim onoga što bi koji prodao u porodici otaca svojih.
They shall have like portions to eat, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions.
9 Kad uðeš u zemlju koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje, ne uèi se èiniti gadna djela onijeh naroda.
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 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,
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 Ni bajaè, ni koji se dogovara sa zlijem duhovima, ni opsjenar, ni koji pita mrtve.
or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a sorcerer, or a necromancer.
12 Jer je gad pred Gospodom ko god tako èini, i za take gadove tjera te narode Gospod Bog tvoj ispred tebe.
For whoever does these things is detestable to Adonai. Because of these abominations, Adonai your God drives them out from before you.
13 Drži se sasvijem Gospoda Boga svojega.
You shall be perfect with Adonai your God.
14 Jer ti narodi koje æeš naslijediti, slušaju gatare i vraèare; a tebi to ne dopušta Gospod Bog tvoj.
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 Proroka isred tebe, izmeðu braæe tvoje, kao što sam ja, podignuæe ti Gospod Bog tvoj; njega slušajte,
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 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.
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 Zato mi reèe Gospod: dobro rekoše što rekoše.
Adonai said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.
18 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.
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 A ko god ne bi poslušao rijeèi mojih, koje æe govoriti u moje ime, od toga æu ja tražiti.
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 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.
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 Ako li reèeš u srcu svojem: kako æemo poznati rijeè koje nije Gospod rekao?
You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which Adonai has not spoken?”
22 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.
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.
