Deuteronomy 18
1 “Mwet tol ac mwet nukewa ke sruf lal Levi ac fah wangin ip lalos ke facl lun mwet Israel; a elos ac moulkin mwe sang ac mwe kisa saya ma itukyang nu sin LEUM GOD.
The priests the Levites, even 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 inheritance.
2 Ac fah wangin acn selos, tia oana sruf ngia. Ip lalos pa elos mukena sriyukla in oru orekma lun mwet tol lun LEUM GOD, oana ke LEUM GOD El wulela.
And they shall have no inheritance among their brethren; the LORD is their inheritance, as He hath spoken unto them.
3 “Pacl nukewa ac kisakinyuk cow ku sheep, na in itukyang nu sin mwet tol finpisa, likintupa luo, ac fotowa.
And this shall be the priests' due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
4 Elos ac fah eis pac ip se emeet ke wheat, wain, oil in olive ac unen sheep.
The first-fruits of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
5 Inmasrlon sruf lowos nukewa, LEUM GOD El srela sruf lal Levi in kulansupwal in oru orekma lun mwet tol nwe tok.
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.
6 “Kutena mwet Levi su lungse in kulansap in mwet tol, el ku in tuku liki kutena siti el muta we in Israel, ac som nu ke acn se ma LEUM GOD El sulela mwet uh in alu nu sel we,
And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and come with all the desire of his soul unto the place which the LORD shall choose;
7 ac kulansap we fal nu ke sie mwet tol lun LEUM GOD lal, oana mwet Levi saya su wi orekma we.
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.
8 El ac fah eis lupa se na ma mwet tol ngia eis ke mwe mongo, sayen ma sou lal uh supu nu sel.”
They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which is his due according to the fathers' houses.
9 “Pacl se kowos utyak nu in facl se ma LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos uh, nimet etai ouiya na koluk lun mwet in mutunfacl we, su mwe srungayuk.
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.
10 Nimet kisakin tulik nutuwos fin e ke loang lowos, ac nik kowos lela mwet lowos in orek susfa, ku orek fweni ke ma ac sikyak in pacl fahsru, ku inutnut,
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that useth divination, a soothsayer, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
11 ku lulalfongi ke inpucl, ac nimet lela elos in lolngok nu sin ngunin mwet misa.
or a charmer, or one that consulteth a ghost or a familiar spirit, or a necromancer.
12 LEUM GOD lowos El srunga mwet su oru lumah koluk inge, pa oru El lusak mutunfacl ingo ke kowos apkuran in utyak nu in facl selos.
For whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto the LORD; and because of these abominations the LORD thy God is driving them out from before thee.
13 Kowos in arulana pwayena nu sin LEUM GOD.”
Thou shalt be whole-hearted with the LORD thy God.
14 Na Moses el fahk, “In facl se su kowos apkuran in eis, mwet we lulalfongi kas lun mwet susfa ac fweni lalos, tusruktu LEUM GOD lowos El tia lela nu suwos in oru ma inge.
For these nations, that thou art to dispossess, hearken unto soothsayers, and unto diviners; but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
15 A El fah supwaot sie mwet palu liki inmasrlon mwet lowos, su oana nga, na kowos in aksol.
A prophet will the LORD thy God raise up unto thee, from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
16 “Ke len se kowos tuh toeni pe Eol Sinai, kowos tuh kwafe kowos in tia sifil lohng pusren LEUM GOD, ku sifil liye e na lulap sac, mweyen kowos tuh nunku mu kowos ac misa.
according to all that thou didst desire 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 die not.'
17 Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, ‘Elos orala sulela na lalmwetmet se.
And the LORD said unto me: 'They have well said that which they have spoken.
18 Nga ac supwala nu yorolos sie mwet palu oana kom liki inmasrlon mwet lalos. Nga fah fahkang nu sel ma elan fahk, ac el fah fahk nu sin mwet uh ma nukewa nga sapkin.
I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19 El fah kaskas inek, ac nga fah kai kutena mwet su tia aksol.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which he shall speak in My name, I will require it of him.
20 Tusruktu fin oasr sie mwet palu su nunku in sulkakin sie kas inek ke nga tia sapkin elan fahk, el fah misa kac, na ac fah oapana nu sin mwet palu su fahkak ke inen god saya!
But the prophet, that shall speak a word presumptuously in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.'
21 “Sahp kowos ac suk lah kowos ac etu fuka lah ma sie mwet palu el fahk tia ma tuku sin LEUM GOD.
And if thou say in thy heart: 'How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?'
22 Sie mwet palu fin kaskas ke Inen LEUM GOD ac ma el fahk uh tia sikyak oana, na kas lal tia ma sin LEUM GOD me. Mwet palu sac el kaskas ke ku na lal sifacna, na kowos fah tia sangeng sel.
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him.
