Deuteronomy 18

1 The priests and Levites, and all that are of the same tribe, shall have no part nor inheritance with the rest of Israel, because they shall eat the sacrifices of the Lord, and his oblations,

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

2 And they shall receive nothing else. of the possession of their brethren: for the Lord himself 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 This shall be the priest’s due from the people, and from them that offer victims: whether they sacrifice an ox, or a sheep, they shall give to the priest the shoulder and the breast:

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 firstfruits also of corn, of wine, and of oil, and a part of the wool from the shearing of their sheep.

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 of all thy tribes, to stand and to minister to 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 If a Levite go out of any one of the cities throughout all Israel, in which he dwelleth, and have a longing mind to come 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 He shall minister in the name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, that shall stand at that time before the Lord.

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

8 He shall receive the same portion of food that the rest do: besides that which is due to him in his own city, by succession from his fathers.

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 shall give thee, beware lest thou have a mind to imitate the abominations of those nations.

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

10 Neither let there be found among you any one that shall expiate his son or daughter, making them to pass through the fire: or that consulteth soothsayers, or observeth dreams and omens, neither let there be any wizard,

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 Nor charmer, nor any one that consulteth pythonic spirits, or fortune tellers, or that seeketh the truth from the dead.

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

12 For the Lord abhorreth all these things, and for these abominations he will destroy them at thy coming.

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, and without spot before the Lord thy God.

Drži se sasvijem Gospoda Boga svojega.

14 These nations, whose land thou shalt possess, hearken to soothsayers and diviners: but thou art otherwise instructed by the Lord thy God.

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 of thy nation and of thy brethren like unto me: him thou shalt hear:

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

16 As thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the assembly was gathered together, and saidst: Let me not hear any more the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see any more this exceeding great fire, lest I 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 spoken all things well.

Zato mi reèe Gospod: dobro rekoše što rekoše.

18 I will raise them up a prophet out of the midst of their brethren like to thee: and I 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 he that will not hear his words, which he shall speak in my name, I will be the revenger.

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

20 But the prophet, who being corrupted with pride, shall speak in my name things that I did not command him to say, or in the name of strange gods, shall be slain.

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 in silent thought thou answer: How shall I know the word that the Lord hath not spoken?

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

22 Thou shalt have this sign: Whatsoever that same prophet foretelleth in the name of the Lord, and it cometh not to pass: that thing the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath forged it by the pride of his mind: and therefore thou shalt not fear 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.
