Deuteronomy 18

The 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.

«لاَ يَكُونُ لِلْكَهَنَةِ اللاَّوِيِّينَ، كُلِّ سِبْطِ لاَوِي، قِسْمٌ وَلاَ نَصِيبٌ مَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. يَأْكُلُونَ وَقَائِدَ الرَّبِّ وَنَصِيبَهُ.

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

فَلاَ يَكُونُ لَهُ نَصِيبٌ فِي وَسَطِ إِخْوَتِهِ. الرَّبُّ هُوَ نَصِيبُهُ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ.

And 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.

«وَهذَا يَكُونُ حَقُّ الْكَهَنَةِ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ، مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَذْبَحُونَ الذَّبَائِحَ بَقَرًا كَانَتْ أَوْ غَنَمًا. يُعْطُونَ الْكَاهِنَ السَّاعِدَ وَالْفَكَّيْنِ وَالْكِرْشَ.

The 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.

وَتُعْطِيهِ أَوَّلَ حِنْطَتِكَ وَخَمْرِكَ وَزَيْتِكَ، وَأَوَّلَ جَزَازِ غَنَمِكَ.

For 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.

لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ قَدِ اخْتَارَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِكَ لِكَيْ يَقِفَ وَيَخْدِمَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ، هُوَ وَبَنُوهُ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ.

And 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;

«وَإِذَا جَاءَ لاَوِيٌّ مِنْ أَحَدِ أَبْوَابِكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَيْثُ هُوَ مُتَغَرِّبٌ، وَجَاءَ بِكُلِّ رَغْبَةِ نَفْسِهِ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ،

Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.

وَخَدَمَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ مِثْلَ جَمِيعِ إِخْوَتِهِ اللاَّوِيِّينَ الْوَاقِفِينَ هُنَاكَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ،

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

يَأْكُلُونَ أَقْسَامًا مُتَسَاوِيَةً، عَدَا مَا يَبِيعُهُ عَنْ آبَائِهِ.

When 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.

«مَتَى دَخَلْتَ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ، لاَ تَتَعَلَّمْ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ مِثْلَ رِجْسِ أُولئِكَ الأُمَمِ.

There 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,

لاَ يُوجَدْ فِيكَ مَنْ يُجِيزُ ابْنَهُ أَوِ ابْنَتَهُ فِي النَّارِ، وَلاَ مَنْ يَعْرُفُ عِرَافَةً، وَلاَ عَائِفٌ وَلاَ مُتَفَائِلٌ وَلاَ سَاحِرٌ،

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

وَلاَ مَنْ يَرْقِي رُقْيَةً، وَلاَ مَنْ يَسْأَلُ جَانًّا أَوْ تَابِعَةً، وَلاَ مَنْ يَسْتَشِيرُ الْمَوْتَى.

For 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.

لأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ ذلِكَ مَكْرُوهٌ عِنْدَ الرَّبِّ. وَبِسَبَبِ هذِهِ الأَرْجَاسِ، الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ طَارِدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ.

Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

تَكُونُ كَامِلاً لَدَى الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ.

For 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.

إِنَّ هؤُلاَءِ الأُمَمَ الَّذِينَ تَخْلُفُهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ لِلْعَائِفِينَ وَالْعَرَّافِينَ. وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلَمْ يَسْمَحْ لَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ هكَذَا.

The 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;

«يُقِيمُ لَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ نَبِيًّا مِنْ وَسَطِكَ مِنْ إِخْوَتِكَ مِثْلِي. لَهُ تَسْمَعُونَ.

According 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.

حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا طَلَبْتَ مِنَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ فِي حُورِيبَ يَوْمَ الاجْتِمَاعِ قَائِلاً: لاَ أَعُودُ أَسْمَعُ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِي وَلاَ أَرَى هذِهِ النَّارَ الْعَظِيمَةَ أَيْضًا لِئَلاَّ أَمُوتَ.

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

قَالَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ: قَدْ أَحْسَنُوا فِي مَا تَكَلَّمُوا.

I 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.

أُقِيمُ لَهُمْ نَبِيًّا مِنْ وَسَطِ إِخْوَتِهِمْ مِثْلَكَ، وَأَجْعَلُ كَلاَمِي فِي فَمِهِ، فَيُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا أُوصِيهِ بِهِ.

And 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.

وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ الإِنْسَانَ الَّذِي لاَ يَسْمَعُ لِكَلاَمِي الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ بِاسْمِي أَنَا أُطَالِبُهُ.

But 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.

وَأَمَّا النَّبِيُّ الَّذِي يُطْغِي، فَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِاسْمِي كَلاَمًا لَمْ أُوصِهِ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، أَوِ الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِاسْمِ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، فَيَمُوتُ ذلِكَ النَّبِيُّ.

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

وَإِنْ قُلْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ: كَيْفَ نَعْرِفُ الْكَلاَمَ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ بِهِ الرَّبُّ؟

When 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.

فَمَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ وَلَمْ يَحْدُثْ وَلَمْ يَصِرْ، فَهُوَ الْكَلاَمُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ بِهِ الرَّبُّ، بَلْ بِطُغْيَانٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ، فَلاَ تَخَفْ مِنْهُ.
