¹利未人的产业

¹`There is not to the priests the Levites — all the tribe of Levi — a portion and inheritance with Israel; fire-offerings of Jehovah, even His inheritance, they eat,

²利未人在兄弟中必没有产业，耶和华就是他们的产业，正如耶和华应许他们的。

²and he hath no inheritance in the midst of his brethren; Jehovah Himself [is] his inheritance, as He hath spoken to him.

³“祭司从人民应得的分是这样：人无论是献牛或是献羊，要把前腿、两腮和胃给祭司。

³`And this is the priest`s right from the people, from those sacrificing a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep, he hath even given to the priest the leg, and the two cheeks, and the stomach;

⁴你也要把初熟的五谷、新酒、新油和初剪的羊毛给他。

⁴the first of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy flock, thou dost give to him;

⁵因为耶和华你的　神从你的各支派中把他拣选出来，使他和他的子孙，可以常常奉耶和华的名侍立供祭司的职。

⁵for on him hath Jehovah thy God fixed, out of all thy tribes, to stand to serve in the name of Jehovah, He and his sons continually.

⁶“如果有住在以色列中任何一座城里的利未人，离开了那里，一心一意到耶和华选择的地方去，

⁶`And when the Levite cometh from one of thy cities out of all Israel, where he hath sojourned, and hath come with all the desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah doth choose,

⁷他就可以奉耶和华他的　神的名供职，像他的众兄弟利未人在那里侍立在耶和华面前一样。

⁷then he hath ministered in the name of Jehovah his God, like all his brethren, the Levites, who are standing there before Jehovah,

⁸除了他从父家承受的产业以外，他还可以得着和他的兄弟相等分量的祭物。

⁸portion as portion they do eat, apart from his sold things, with the fathers.

⁹勿随从异族风俗“你到了耶和华你的　神要赐给你的那地的时候，那些外族人可厌可恶的事，你不可学习去行。

⁹`When thou art coming in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, thou dost not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations:

¹⁰在你中间不可有人把自己的儿女献作火祭，也不可有占卜的、算命的、用法术的、行邪术的、

¹⁰there is not found in thee one causing his son and his daughter to pass over into fire, a user of divinations, an observer of clouds, and an enchanter, and a sorcerer,

¹¹念咒的、问鬼的、行巫术的、过阴的。

¹¹and a charmer, and one asking at a familiar spirit, and a wizard, and one seeking unto the dead.

¹²因为行这些事的，都是耶和华厌恶的；就是因为这些可厌可恶的事的缘故，耶和华你的　神才把他们从你的面前赶走。

¹²`For the abomination of Jehovah [is] every one doing these, and because of these abominations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing them from thy presence.

¹³你要在耶和华你的　神面前作完全人。

¹³Perfect thou art with Jehovah thy God,

¹⁴“因为你要赶走的那些民族，都听从算命的和占卜的；至于你，耶和华你的　神却不容许你这样行。

¹⁴for these nations whom thou art possessing, unto observers of clouds, and unto diviners, do hearken; and thou — not so hath Jehovah thy God suffered thee.

¹⁵应许兴起一位先知“耶和华你的　神要从你中间，就是从你的众兄弟中间，给你兴起一位先知来，像我一样；你们要听从他。

¹⁵`A prophet out of thy midst, out of thy brethren, like to me, doth Jehovah thy God raise up to thee — unto him ye hearken;

¹⁶这正是你在何烈山开大会的日子，求耶和华你的　神的一切话，说：‘不要让我再听见耶和华我的　神的声音了；也不要让我再看见这大火了，免得我死亡。’

¹⁶according to all that thou didst ask from Jehovah thy God, in Horeb, in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not add to hear the voice of Jehovah my God, and this great fire let me not see any more, and I die not;

¹⁷耶和华对我说：‘他们所说的都很好。

¹⁷and Jehovah saith unto me, They have done well that they have spoken;

¹⁸我要从他们的兄弟中间，给他们兴起一位先知，像你一样；我要把我的话放在他口里，他必把我吩咐他们的一切话都对他们说。

¹⁸a prophet I raise up to them, out of the midst of their brethren, like to thee; and I have given my words in his mouth, and he hath spoken unto them all that which I command him;

¹⁹如果有人不听从他奉我的名所说的话，我必亲自追讨那人的罪。

¹⁹and it hath been — the man who doth not hearken unto My words which he doth speak in My name, I require [it] of him.

²⁰对待假先知的条例“‘不过，如果有先知擅自奉我的名，说我没有吩咐他说的话，或是奉别神的名说话，那先知就必须处死。’

²⁰`Only, the prophet who presumeth to speak a word in My name — that which I have not commanded him to speak — and who speaketh in the name of other gods — even that prophet hath died.

²¹如果你心里说：‘耶和华没有说过的话，我们怎能知道呢？’

²¹`And when thou sayest in thy heart, How do we know the word which Jehovah hath not spoken? —

²²一位先知奉耶和华的名说话，如果那话不成就，也不应验，这话就不是耶和华说的；是那先知擅自说的，你不要怕他。”

²²that which the prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, and the thing is not, and cometh not — it [is] the word which Jehovah hath not spoken; in presumption hath the prophet spoken it; — thou art not afraid of him.
