1 The priests, the Levites, {and} the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: Jehovah's offerings by fire, and his inheritance shall they eat,

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

3 And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that sacrifice a sacrifice, whether ox, or sheep: they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the jawbones, and the maw.

4 The firstfruits {also} of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstfruits of the shearing of thy sheep, shalt thou give him;

5 for Jehovah thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, that he may stand to serve in the name of Jehovah, he and his sons continually.

6 And if the Levite shall come from one of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and shall come according to all the desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah will choose,

7 and shall serve in the name of Jehovah his God, as all his brethren the Levites that stand there before Jehovah,

8 -they shall have like portions to eat, besides that which he hath sold of his patrimony.

9 When thou art come into the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.

10 There shall not be found among you he that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, that useth divination, that useth auguries, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,

11 or a charmer, or one that inquireth of a spirit of Python, or a soothsayer, or one that consulteth the dead.

12 For every one that doeth these things is an abomination to Jehovah, and because of these abominations Jehovah thy God doth dispossess them from before thee.

13 Thou shalt be perfect with Jehovah thy God.

14 For these nations, which thou shalt dispossess, hearkened unto those that use auguries, and that use divination; but as for thee, Jehovah thy God hath not suffered thee {to do} so.

15 Jehovah thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him shall ye hearken;

16 according to all that thou desiredst of Jehovah thy God at Horeb on 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.

17 And Jehovah said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.

18 A prophet will I raise up unto them 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.

19 And it shall come to pass that the man who hearkeneth not unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

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

21 And if thou say in thy heart, How shall we know the word that Jehovah hath not spoken?

22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, and the thing followeth not, nor cometh to pass, that is the word which Jehovah hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: be not afraid of him.

1 Kaua tetahi wahi, tetahi kainga tupu ranei i roto i a Iharaira mo nga tohunga, mo nga Riwaiti, mo te iwi katoa ano hoki o Riwai: ko nga whakahere ahi a Ihowa, ko ona taonga ake hoki, hei kai ma ratou.

2 A kahore tetahi kainga tupu mo ratou i waenganui i o ratou tuakana: ko Ihowa, ko ia to ratou taonga tupu, pera hoki me tana i korero ai ki a ratou.

3 A ko te tikanga tenei mo nga mea a te iwi ma nga tohunga, mo a nga tangata e patu ana i te patunga tapu, ahakoa kau, ahakoa hipi, me homai e ratou ki te tohunga te peke, nga paparinga e rua, me te puku.

4 Ko nga hua matamua o tau witi, o tau waina, o tau hinu, me te huruhuru matamua o au hipi, me hoatu ki a ia.

5 No te mea kua whiriwhiria ia e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i roto i ou iwi katoa, kia tu hei minita i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, a ia me ana tama ake tonu atu.

6 A ki te haere mai tetahi Riwaiti i hea noa atu o Iharaira, i tetahi o ou kuwaha i noho ai ia, a ka tae mai me te hiahia katoa o tona ngakau ki te wahi e whiriwhiria e Ihowa;

7 Na me minita ia i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, o tona Atua, me pera me ona tuakana katoa me nga Riwaiti, e tu nei i reira i te aroaro o Ihowa.

8 Kia rite te wahi hei kai ma ratou, haunga ano nga utu i a ia mo nga taonga a ona matua.

9 E tae koe ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, kei ako koe ki te mahi i nga mea whakarihariha a ena iwi.

10 Kei kitea i roto i a koe tetahi e mea ana i tana tama, i tana tamahine ranei, kia haere i roto i te ahi, tetahi tohunga whakaaro ki nga tohu, tetahi e whakaari ana i nga mea kei mua, tetahi tohunga maori, tetahi tohunga makutu ranei,

11 Tetahi tohunga whaiwhaia ranei, tetahi kaiui i te atua maori, tetahi mata maori ranei, tetahi kaiui i te tupapaku.

12 No te mea e whakarihariha ana a Ihowa ki nga tangata katoa e mea ana i ena mea: a na aua mea whakarihariha i peia ai ratou i tou aroaro e Ihowa, e tou Atua.

13 Kia tino tika koe i te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua.

14 Ko enei iwi hoki, ka riro nei i a koe, e whakarongo ana ki nga tohunga taima, ki nga tohunga maori: tena ko koe, e kore a Ihowa, tou Atua, e tuku i a koe kia pera.

15 Ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, e whakaara ake he poropiti mou i roto i a koe, no ou teina, he rite mai ki ahau; ko ia ta koutou e whakarongo ai;

16 Hei whakarite mo nga mea katoa i inoi ai koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i Horepa i te ra o te huihuinga, i mea ai, Kaua ahau e rongo atu ano i te reo o Ihowa, o toku Atua, kaua hoki ahau e titiro ano ki tenei ahi nui, kei mate ahau.

17 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, He pai ta ratou korero i korero na.

18 Maku e whakaara ake he poropiti mo ratou i roto i o ratou teina, rite tahi ki a koe, a ka hoatu e ahau aku kupu ki tona waha; mana e korero ki a ratou nga mea katoa e korero ai ahau ki a ia.

19 Na ko te tangata e kore e whakarongo ki aku kupu, e korero ai ia i runga i toku ingoa, maku e rapu he utu i a ia.

20 Tena ko te poropiti e poka noa te korero i runga i toku ingoa, i tetahi kupu kihai nei i whakahaua atu e ahau kia korerotia, e korero ranei i runga i te ingoa o nga atua ke, ina, ka mate taua poropiti.

21 A ki te mea koe i roto i tou ngakau, Ma te aha e mohio ai tatou ki te kupu kihai nei i korerotia e Ihowa?

22 Ki te korero tetahi poropiti i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, a kahore e puta mai te mea, kahore hoki e tae mai, koia tena te mea kihai i korerotia e Ihowa: i korero poka noa te poropiti, kaua koe e wehi i a ia.
