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.

¹The priests the Levites, all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, and his inheritance.

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

²They shall have no inheritance among their brothers: Yahweh is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.

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;

³This shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.

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

⁴The first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give him.

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

⁵For Yahweh your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of Yahweh, him and his sons for ever.

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,

⁶If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel, where he lives as a foreigner, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which Yahweh shall choose;

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

⁷then he shall minister in the name of Yahweh his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before Yahweh.

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

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

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.

⁹When you have come into the land which Yahweh your God gives you, you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

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,

¹⁰There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,

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

¹¹or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

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

¹²For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh: and because of these abominations Yahweh your God does drive them out from before you.

¹³Aoka ho tanteraka amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao.

¹³You shall be perfect with Yahweh your God.

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.

¹⁴For these nations, that you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice sorcery, and to diviners; but as for you, Yahweh your God has not allowed you so to do.

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

¹⁵Yahweh your God will raise up to you a prophet from the midst of you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.

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.

¹⁶This is according to all that you desired of Yahweh your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again the voice of Yahweh my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.”

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

¹⁷Yahweh said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.

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.

¹⁸I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.

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

¹⁹It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

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.

²⁰But the prophet, who shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”

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.

²¹If you say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which Yahweh has not spoken?”

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.

²²when a prophet speaks in the name of Yahweh, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Yahweh has not spoken: the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you shall not be afraid of him.
