Piektā Mozus 18
1 Priesteriem, Levitiem, visai Levja ciltij lai nav nedz daļas nedz mantības līdz ar Israēli; lai tie ēd no Tā Kunga uguns upuriem un no Viņa mantas daļas.
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,
2 Un mantības lai tiem nav savu brāļu vidū, Tas Kungs ir viņu mantība, itin kā Viņš uz tiem runājis.
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.
3 Šī nu lai ir tā priesteru tiesa no tiem ļaudīm, no tiem, kas kādu upuri upurē, lai tas ir vērsis vai avs; priesterim lai dod pleci, abus žokļus un kuņģi.
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:
4 Savas labības, sava vīna un savas eļļas pirmajus, un pirmajus no savu avju cirpšanas tev būs viņam dot.
The firstfruits also of corn, of wine, and of oil, and a part of the wool from the shearing of their sheep.
5 Jo Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, viņu ir izredzējis no visām tavām ciltīm, lai tas stāv un kalpo Tā Kunga vārdam, viņš un viņa dēli visu mūžu.
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.
6 Un ja kāds Levits nāk no kādiem Israēla vārtiem, kur viņš piemīt, un nāk, tā kā viņa dvēselei tīk, uz to vietu, ko Tas Kungs izredzēs,
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,
7 Un kalpo Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdā, kā visi viņa brāļi, tie Leviti, kas tur Tā Kunga priekšā stāv,
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.
8 Tad lai tie ēd līdzīgu daļu, pāri par viņu ienākumu no tēvu puses.
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.
9 Kad tu nāc tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos, tad tev nebūs mācīties darīt pēc šo pagānu negantībām.
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.
10 Lai tavā starpā netop atrasts, kas savam dēlam vai savai meitai liek iet caur uguni, neviens zīlnieks, ne burvis, ne pūšļotājs, ne riebējs,
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,
11 Ne vārdotājs, ne pareģis, ne pesteļu cienītājs, nedz miroņu vaicātājs.
Nor charmer, nor any one that consulteth pythonic spirits, or fortune tellers, or that seeketh the truth from the dead.
12 Jo visi, kas to dara, Tam Kungam ir negantība, un šīs negantības dēļ Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tos izdzen tavā priekšā.
For the Lord abhorreth all these things, and for these abominations he will destroy them at thy coming.
13 Bezvainīgam tev būs būt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā.
Thou shalt be perfect, and without spot before the Lord thy God.
14 Jo šās tautas, ko tu izdzīsi, cienī burvjus un zīlniekus, bet tev tā neklājās; tev Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tā nav devis.
These nations, whose land thou shalt possess, hearken to soothsayers and diviners: but thou art otherwise instructed by the Lord thy God.
15 Pravieti, kāds es esmu, Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev cels no tava vidus, no taviem brāļiem, - tam jums būs klausīt.
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:
16 Pēc visa tā, ko tu esi lūdzies no Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, Horebā, sapulces dienā, sacīdams: es vairs negribu dzirdēt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsi, un negribu vairs redzēt šo lielo uguni, ka nemirstu.
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.
17 Tad Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: tas ir labi, ko tie runājuši.
And the Lord said to me: They have spoken all things well.
18 Es tiem celšu pravieti, kāds tu esi, no viņu brāļu vidus, un Es likšu Savu vārdu viņa mutē, un viņš runās uz tiem visu, ko Es tam pavēlēšu.
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.
19 Un ja kāds neklausīs Maniem vārdiem, ko viņš runās Manā Vārdā, no tā Es to prasīšu.
And he that will not hear his words, which he shall speak in my name, I will be the revenger.
20 Bet tas pravietis, kas iedrošinājās runāt Manā Vārdā, ko Es tam neesmu pavēlējis runāt, vai ja tas citu dievu vārdā runās, šim pravietim būs mirt.
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.
21 Ja tu tad savā sirdī sacīsi: kā lai pazīstam to vārdu, ko Tas Kungs nav runājis? -
And if in silent thought thou answer: How shall I know the word that the Lord hath not spoken?
22 Kad tas pravietis Tā Kunga Vārdā runās, un tas vārds nenotiek un nenāk, - tad šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs nav runājis, tas pravietis to ir aplam runājis, tāpēc nebīsties no viņa.
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.
