Deuteronomy 18

1 The priests and the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire and his portion.

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

2 They shall have no inheritance among their brothers. The LORD is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.

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

3 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, the two cheeks, and the inner parts.

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 You shall give him the first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your 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 your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in the LORD’s name, him and his sons forever.

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 comes from any of your gates out of all Israel where he lives, and comes with all the desire of his soul 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 brothers 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, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions.

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

9 When you have come into the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn 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 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 tells fortunes, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,

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 someone who consults with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

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

12 For whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD. Because of these abominations, the LORD your God drives them out from before you.

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

13 You shall be blameless with the LORD your God.

Drži se sasvijem Gospoda Boga svojega.

14 For these nations that you shall dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery and to diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you so to do.

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

15 The LORD your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.

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

16 This is according to all that you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again the LORD my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I 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 The LORD said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.

Zato mi reèe Gospod: dobro rekoše što rekoše.

18 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 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 It shall happen, that whoever will not listen 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 speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same 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 You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?”

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

22 When a prophet speaks in the LORD’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall 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.
