1The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
1Leviitpreestritel, kogu Leevi suguharul, ärgu olgu osa ega pärandit koos Iisraeliga; nad saagu elatist Issanda tuleohvreist ja tema pärisosast!
2Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
2Neil ärgu olgu pärisosa vendade keskel, Issand ise on nende pärisosa, nagu ta neile on öelnud.
3And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
3Ja rahva käest, neilt, kes ohverdavad tapaohvreid, olgu härga või lammast, on preestritel õigus saada seda: preestrile antagu saps, lõualuud ja magu.
4The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
4Anna temale uudset oma teraviljast, värskest veinist ja õlist, samuti oma lammaste ja kitsede esimene niiduvill!
5For 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.
5Sest teda on Issand, su Jumal, valinud kõigi su suguharude hulgast, et tema ja ta pojad alati seisaksid teenistuses Issanda nimel.
6And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;
6Ja kui üks leviit tahab tulla mõnest su väravaist kogu Iisraelis, kus ta võõrana elab, siis võib ta täiesti oma hinge igatsuse järgi tulla paika, mille Issand valib,
7Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.
7ja teenida Issanda, oma Jumala nimel, nagu kõik ta vennad leviidid, kes seal seisavad Issanda ees.
8They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
8Nad söögu võrdset osa peale selle, mis ta on saanud oma vanemate vara müügist!
9When 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.
9Kui sa jõuad sellele maale, mille Issand, su Jumal, sulle annab, siis ära õpi tegema nende rahvaste jäledusi!
10There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
10Ärgu leidugu su keskel kedagi, kes laseb oma poega ja tütart tulest läbi käia, ei ennustajat, pilvestlausujat, märkide seletajat ega nõida,
11Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
11ei manajat, vaimude ja tarkade küsitlejat ega surnutelt nõu otsijat!
12For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
12Sest igaüks, kes seda teeb, on Issandale jäle, ja nende jäleduste pärast ajab Issand, su Jumal, nad ära sinu eest.
13Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
13Ole laitmatu Issanda, oma Jumala ees!
14For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
14Sest need rahvad, keda sa ära ajad, kuulavad pilvestlausujaid ja ennustajaid, aga sinule ei ole Issand, su Jumal, selleks luba andnud.
15The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
15Issand, su Jumal, äratab sulle sinu keskelt, su vendade hulgast, ühe prohveti, minu sarnase - teda te peate kuulama!
16According to all that thou desiredst 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.
16Seda sa just palusid kogunemispäeval Hoorebil Issandalt, oma Jumalalt, öeldes: 'Ma ei suuda enam kuulata Issanda, oma Jumala häält ega kauemini vaadata seda suurt tuld, ilma et ma sureksin.'
17And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
17Ja Issand ütles mulle: 'See on hea, mis nad on rääkinud.
18I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
18Ma äratan neile ühe prohveti nende vendade keskelt, niisuguse nagu sina, ja ma panen oma sõnad ta suhu ja ta räägib neile kõik, mis mina teda käsin.
19And 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.
19Ja kes ei kuula mu sõnu, mida ta räägib minu nimel, sellelt nõuan mina ise aru.
20But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
20Aga prohvet, kes suurustledes räägib midagi minu nimel, mida mina ei ole teda käskinud rääkida, või kes räägib teiste jumalate nimel, see prohvet peab surema.'
21And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
21Ja kui sa mõtled oma südames: 'Kuidas tunneme sõna, mida Issand ei ole rääkinud?' -
22When 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, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
22siis kui prohvet räägib Issanda nimel, aga midagi ei sünni ega tule, siis on see sõna, mida Issand ei ole rääkinud. Prohvet on seda rääkinud ülemeelikusest, ära karda teda!
