¹The priests the Levites, [even] all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of Jehovah 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!

²And they shall have no inheritance among their brethren: Jehovah is their inheritance, as he hath spoken unto them.

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

³And this shall be the priests' due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that 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 first-fruits of thy grain, of thy new 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 Jehovah thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of Jehovah, 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 sojourneth, and come with all the desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah 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 Jehovah his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, who stand there before Jehovah.

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

⁸They shall have like portions to eat, besides 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 Jehovah 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 with thee any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that useth divination, one that practiseth augury, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,

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 a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

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

¹²For whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto Jehovah: and because of these abominations Jehovah 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 Jehovah thy God.

¹³Ole laitmatu Issanda, oma Jumala ees!

¹⁴For these nations, that thou shalt dispossess, hearken unto them that practise augury, and unto diviners; but as for thee, Jehovah 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.

¹⁵Jehovah 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 Jehovah thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Jehovah 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 Jehovah said unto me, They have well said 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 I 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, that shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same 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 thy heart, How shall we know the word which Jehovah 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 Jehovah, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which Jehovah hath not spoken: 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!
