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.

¹[Ny amin'ny ho anjaran'ny mpisorona sy ny Levita] Ny Levita mpisorona, dia ny firenen'i Levy rehetra, tsy mba hanana anjara na lova eo amin'ny Isiraely; ny fanatitra atao amin'ny afo ho an'i Jehovah sy ny anjaran'i Jehovah no ho fihinany.

²Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.

²Fa tsy hanan-dova eo amin'ny rahalahiny izy; Jehovah no lovany, araka izay nolazainy taminy.

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.

³Ary izao no ho anjaran'ny mpisorona avy amin'ny olona, dia avy amin'izay mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra, na omby, na ondry, na osy: dia homeny ho an'ny mpisorona ny sorony sy ny takolany roa ary ny vavoniny;

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.

⁴ary ny voaloham-bokatry ny varinao koa sy ny ranom-boalobokao sy ny diloilonao ary ny voalohan'ny volon'ondrinao no homenao azy.

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.

⁵Fa izy sy ny taranany no nofidin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao tamin'ny firenenao rehetra hitsangana hanao fanompoam-pivavahana mandrakizay amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah.

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;

⁶Ary raha misy Levita miala amin'ny tanànanao anankiray, izay nivahiniany, amin'ny Isiraely rehetra, ka mandeha araka ny fanirian'ny fony ho any amin'ny tany izay hofidin'i Jehovah,

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.

⁷ka manao fanompoam-pivavahana amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah Andriamaniny, tahaka ny Levita rahalahiny rehetra, izay mitsangana eo anatrehan'i Jehovah,

⁸They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.

⁸dia anjara mitovy amin'ny an'ireo ihany no ho fihinany, na dia misy aza izay vidin'ny azony tamin-drainy.

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.

⁹[Ny amin'ny mpaminany] REHEFA tonga any amin'ny tany izay omen'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao ianao, dia aza mianatra hanao araka ny fahavetavetana ataon'ireo firenena ireo.

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.

¹⁰Aoka tsy hisy eo aminao izay mampandeha ny zananilahy na ny zananivavy hamaky ny afo, na mpanao fankatovana, na mpanandro, na mpanao sikidy, na mpanana ody,

¹¹Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

¹¹na manao ho masim-bava, na mpanadina amin'ny manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra, na mpanao hatsarana, na mpanontany amin'ny maty.

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.

¹²Fa fahavetavetana eo imason'i Jehovah izay rehetra manao izany zavatra izany, ary izany fahavetavetana izany no androahan'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao azy eo anoloanao.

¹³Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

¹³Aoka ho tanteraka amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao.

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.

¹⁴Fa ireo firenena izay efa horoahinao ireo dia mihaino ny mpanandro sy ny mpanao fankatovana; fa ianao kosa tsy navelan'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao hanao izany.

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;

¹⁵Mpaminany avy eo aminao, dia avy amin'ny rahalahinao, tahaka ahy, no hatsangan'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ho anao; izy no hohenoinareo;

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.

¹⁶araka izay rehetra nangatahinao tamin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao tao Horeba tamin'ny andro nivoriana hoe: Aoka tsy hihaino ny feon'i Jehovah Andriamanitro intsony aho, ary aoka tsy hahita izany afo lehibe izany intsony aho, fandrao maty.

¹⁷And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.

¹⁷Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Tsara ny teny izay nolazainy.

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.

¹⁸Mpaminany no hatsangako ho azy avy amin'ny rahalahiny, tahaka anao, ka hataoko ao am-bavany ny teniko, ary holazainy aminy izay rehetra handidiako azy.

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.

¹⁹Ary izay rehetra tsy mihaino ny teniko, izay holazainy amin'ny anarako, dia Izaho no hitsara azy.

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.

²⁰Fa ny mpaminany izay sahy hilaza teny amin'ny anarako, nefa tsy nasaiko nolazainy, na izay miteny amin'ny anaran'andriamani-kafa, dia hatao maty.

²¹And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

²¹Ary raha hoy ianao anakampo: Hataontsika ahoana no fahafantatra ny teny izay tsy nolazain'i Jehovah?Raha miteny amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah ny mpaminany, ka tsy efa ny zavatra, na tsy tanteraka, dia teny izay tsy nolazain'i Jehovah izany: tamin'ny fahasahisahiana no nilazan'ny mpaminany izany, koa aza matahotra azy.

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.

²²Raha miteny amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah ny mpaminany, ka tsy efa ny zavatra, na tsy tanteraka, dia teny izay tsy nolazain'i Jehovah izany: tamin'ny fahasahisahiana no nilazan'ny mpaminany izany, koa aza matahotra azy.
