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,

¹Leviitpreestritel, kogu Leevi suguharul, ärgu olgu osa ega pärandit koos Iisraeliga; nad saagu elatist Issanda tuleohvreist ja tema pärisosast!

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

²Neil ärgu olgu pärisosa vendade keskel, Issand ise on nende pärisosa, nagu ta neile on öelnud.

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;

³Ja rahva käest, neilt, kes ohverdavad tapaohvreid, olgu härga või lammast, on preestritel õigus saada seda: preestrile antagu saps, lõualuud ja magu.

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;

⁴Anna temale uudset oma teraviljast, värskest veinist ja õlist, samuti oma lammaste ja kitsede esimene niiduvill!

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.

⁵Sest teda on Issand, su Jumal, valinud kõigi su suguharude hulgast, et tema ja ta pojad alati seisaksid teenistuses Issanda nimel.

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,

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

⁷ja teenida Issanda, oma Jumala nimel, nagu kõik ta vennad leviidid, kes seal seisavad Issanda ees.

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

⁸Nad söögu võrdset osa peale selle, mis ta on saanud oma vanemate vara müügist!

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:

⁹Kui sa jõuad sellele maale, mille Issand, su Jumal, sulle annab, siis ära õpi tegema nende rahvaste jäledusi!

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,

¹⁰Ärgu leidugu su keskel kedagi, kes laseb oma poega ja tütart tulest läbi käia, ei ennustajat, pilvestlausujat, märkide seletajat ega nõida,

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

¹¹ei manajat, vaimude ja tarkade küsitlejat ega surnutelt nõu otsijat!

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.

¹²Sest igaüks, kes seda teeb, on Issandale jäle, ja nende jäleduste pärast ajab Issand, su Jumal, nad ära sinu eest.

¹³Perfect thou art with Jehovah thy God,

¹³Ole laitmatu Issanda, oma Jumala ees!

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.

¹⁴Sest need rahvad, keda sa ära ajad, kuulavad pilvestlausujaid ja ennustajaid, aga sinule ei ole Issand, su Jumal, selleks luba andnud.

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;

¹⁵Issand, su Jumal, äratab sulle sinu keskelt, su vendade hulgast, ühe prohveti, minu sarnase - teda te peate kuulama!

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;

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

¹⁷Ja Issand ütles mulle: 'See on hea, mis nad on rääkinud.

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;

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

¹⁹Ja kes ei kuula mu sõnu, mida ta räägib minu nimel, sellelt nõuan mina ise aru.

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.

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.'

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

²¹Ja kui sa mõtled oma südames: 'Kuidas tunneme sõna, mida Issand ei ole rääkinud?' -

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.

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!
