18 ¶ Prèt yo, fanmi Levi yo, ki vle di tout gason ki nan branch fanmi Levi a, p'ap gen anyen ki rele yo pa yo nan byen eritaj moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Y'a viv ak manje pèp la va ofri bay Seyè a ak tou sa pèp la va mete apa pou Seyè a.

Moun fanmi Levi yo p'ap gen anyen nan byen ki pou tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Se Seyè a ki pòsyon pa yo jan li te di yo sa.

Lè yon moun nan pèp la vin ofri yon bèf osinon yon kabrit, oswa yon mouton pou yo touye pou Seyè a, men pòsyon ki va rete pou prèt fanmi Levi a. Men pòsyon y'a ba li: jigo a, machwè yo ak gradoub la.

N'a ba li tou premye grenn n'a rekòlte nan jaden ble nou yo, premye diven ak premye lwil n'a fè, ansanm ak premye lenn mouton n'a wete sou mouton nou yo.

Paske se yo menm ak pitit gason yo Seyè a te chwazi nan mitan tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou sèvi l' prèt pou tout tan.

Lè yon moun fanmi Levi ki rete nan yonn nan lavil nou yo, nenpòt kote nan peyi Izrayèl la, santi li ta renmen ale kote Seyè a te chwazi pou yo fè sèvis pou li a,

lè li rive, si li fè travay yon prèt nan non Seyè a, Bondye li a, tankou tout lòt frè moun fanmi Levi parèy li yo ki te toujou la ap sèvi devan Seyè a,

l'a resevwa menm kantite manje ak lòt yo, san yo pa bezwen konsidere sa li resevwa deja nan byen papa l'.

¶ Lè n'a fin antre nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ban nou an, pa lage kò nou nan fè menm vye bagay moun lòt nasyon yo ap fè.

10 Piga pesonn nan nou pran pitit gason osinon pitit fi li pou li boule nan dife pou zidòl. Piga gen pesonn nan mitan nou k'ap fè divinò, k'ap etidye zetwal nan syèl la pou konnen sa ki gen pou rive, k'ap pran pwen, k'ap fè maji.

11 Piga gen nan mitan nou moun k'ap sèvi ak cham, moun ki pral nan tab tounant, k'ap vizite moun ki konn tire kat, ak moun k'ap rele mò pou pale ak yo.

12 Paske Seyè a pa vle wè moun k'ap fè bagay sa yo. Epitou, se paske moun lòt nasyon yo t'ap fè tout vye bagay sa yo kifè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te mete yo deyò pou nou ka pran plas yo.

13 Piga nou janm fè sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pa vle nou fè.

14 Bann nasyon nou pral mete deyò nan peyi a, se moun ki te renmen koute sa divinò ak moun k'ap etidye zetwal yo ap di yo. Men nou menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pa penmèt nou fè bagay konsa.

15 ¶ Moyiz di pèp la konsa: -Seyè a, Bondye nou an, gen pou l' voye yon pwofèt ban nou tankou l' te voye m' lan. Se va yonn nan nou, yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou. Se pou nou koute tou sa l'a di nou.

16 Se sa menm nou te mande Seyè a, Bondye nou an, lè nou tout te reyini sou mòn Orèb la. Nou t'ap di nou pa vle tande vwa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ni nou pa ta renmen wè gwo flanm dife sa a ankò pou nou pa mouri.

17 Lè sa a, Seyè a di mwen konsa: Sa yo di a, se vre wi.

18 M'a chwazi yonn nan yo pou pwofèt, m'a voye l' ba yo tankou mwen te voye ou la. M'a mete pawòl mwen nan bouch li. Epi l'a di pèp la tou sa m'a ba li lòd di yo.

19 Si yon moun pa koute sa pwofèt la ap di yo nan non mwen, se avè m' menm l'ap an afè. Se mwen menm menm la gen pou l' rann kont.

20 Konsa tou, si yon pwofèt ta penmèt li louvri bouch li pou l' pale nan non mwen pou l' di sa mwen pa di l' di, oswa pou l' ta pale nan non lòt bondye, se pou yo touye l' pou sa l' fè a.

21 Koulye a nou dwe ap di nan kè nou: Ki jan pou nou fè konnen si sa pwofèt la ap di a se pa pawòl ki soti nan Bondye?

22 Enben, si pwofèt la di l'ap pale nan non Seyè a, epi sa li di a pa rive vre, lè sa a, n'a konnen Seyè a pa t' janm di l' di pawòl konsa. Se lògèy ki te pouse pwofèt la di sa l' di a. Nou pa bezwen pè l'.

Offerings for Priests and Levites

18 The Levitical(A) priests—indeed, the whole tribe of Levi—are to have no allotment or inheritance with Israel. They shall live on the food offerings(B) presented to the Lord, for that is their inheritance.(C) They shall have no inheritance among their fellow Israelites; the Lord is their inheritance,(D) as he promised them.(E)

This is the share due the priests(F) from the people who sacrifice a bull(G) or a sheep: the shoulder, the internal organs and the meat from the head.(H) You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the first wool from the shearing of your sheep,(I) for the Lord your God has chosen them(J) and their descendants out of all your tribes to stand and minister(K) in the Lord’s name always.(L)

If a Levite moves from one of your towns anywhere in Israel where he is living, and comes in all earnestness to the place the Lord will choose,(M) he may minister in the name(N) of the Lord his God like all his fellow Levites who serve there in the presence of the Lord. He is to share equally in their benefits, even though he has received money from the sale of family possessions.(O)

Occult Practices

When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate(P) the detestable ways(Q) of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire,(R) who practices divination(S) or sorcery,(T) interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,(U) 11 or casts spells,(V) or who is a medium or spiritist(W) or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.(X) 13 You must be blameless(Y) before the Lord your God.(Z)

The Prophet

14 The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination.(AA) But as for you, the Lord your God has not permitted you to do so. 15 The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites.(AB) You must listen to him. 16 For this is what you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, “Let us not hear the voice of the Lord our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die.”(AC)

17 The Lord said to me: “What they say is good. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet(AD) like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words(AE) in his mouth.(AF) He will tell them everything I command him.(AG) 19 I myself will call to account(AH) anyone who does not listen(AI) to my words that the prophet speaks in my name.(AJ) 20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods,(AK) is to be put to death.”(AL)

21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true,(AM) that is a message the Lord has not spoken.(AN) That prophet has spoken presumptuously,(AO) so do not be alarmed.
