Deuteronomy 18

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 "The whole priestly tribe of Levi shall have no share in the heritage with Israel; they shall live on the oblations of the LORD and the portions due to him.	1 Non habebunt sacerdotes le vitae, omnis tribus Levi, par tem et hereditatem cum reliquo Israel; de sacrificiis Domini et hereditate eius comedent
2 Levi shall have no heritage among his brothers; the LORD himself is his heritage, as he has told him.	2 et nihil accipient de possessione fratrum suorum: Dominus enim ipse est hereditas eorum, sicut locutus est illis.
3 The priests shall have a right to the following things from the people: from those who are offering a sacrifice, whether the victim is from the herd or from the flock, the priest shall receive the shoulder, the jowls and the stomach.	3 Hoc erit ius sacerdotum a populo, ab his qui offerunt victimas: sive bovem sive ovem immolaverint, dabunt sacerdoti armum et duas maxillas ac ventriculum,
4 You shall also give him the first fruits of your grain and wine and oil, as well as the first fruits of the shearing of your flock;	4 primitias frumenti, vini et olei et lanarum ex ovium tonsione.
5 for the LORD, your God, has chosen him and his sons out of all your tribes to be always in attendance to minister in the name of the LORD.	5 Ipsum enim elegit Dominus Deus tuus de cunctis tribubus tuis, ut stet et ministret in nomine Domini ipse et filii eius in sempiternum.
6 "When a Levite goes from one of your communities anywhere in Israel in which he ordinarily resides, to visit, as his heart may desire, the place which the LORD chooses,	6 Si exierit Levites de una urbium tuarum ex omni Israel, in qua ut advena habitat, et voluerit venire desiderans locum, quem elegerit Dominus,
7 he may minister there in the name of the LORD, his God, like all his fellow Levites who are in attendance there before the LORD.	7 ministrabit in nomine Domini Dei sui, sicut omnes fratres eius levitae, qui stabunt ibi coram Domino.
8 He shall then receive the same portions to eat as the rest, along with his monetary offerings and heirlooms.	8 Partem ciborum eandem accipiet quam et ceteri, excepto eo, quod ex paterna ei successione debetur.
9 "When you come into the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you, you shall not learn to imitate the abominations of the peoples there.	9 Quando ingressus fueris terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, cave, ne imitari velis abominationes illarum gentium.
10 Let there not be found among you anyone who immolates his son or daughter in the fire, nor a fortune-teller, soothsayer, charmer, diviner,	10 Nec inveniatur in te, qui filium suum aut filiam traducat per ignem, aut qui sortes sciscitetur et observet nubes atque auguria, nec sit maleficus
11 or caster of spells, nor one who consults ghosts and spirits or seeks oracles from the dead.	11 nec incantator, nec qui pythones consulat nec divinos, aut quaerat a mortuis veritatem;
12 Anyone who does such things is an abomination to the LORD, and because of such abominations the LORD, your God, is driving these nations out of your way.	12 omnia enim haec abominatur Dominus et propter istiusmodi scelera expellet eos in introitu tuo.
13 You, however, must be altogether sincere toward the LORD, your God.	13 Perfectus eris et absque macula cum Domino Deo tuo.
14 Though these nations whom you are to dispossess listen to their soothsayers and fortune-tellers, the LORD, your God, will not permit you to do so.	14 Gentes istae, quarum possidebis terram, augures et divinos audiunt; tu autem a Domino Deo tuo aliter institutus es.
15 "A prophet like me will the LORD, your God, raise up for you from among your own kinsmen; to him you shall listen.	15 Prophetam de gente tua et de fratribus tuis sicut me suscitabit tibi Dominus Deus tuus; ipsum audietis,
16 This is exactly what you requested of the LORD, your God, at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, 'Let us not again hear the voice of the LORD, our God, nor see this great fire any more, lest we die.'	16 ut petiisti a Domino Deo tuo in Horeb, quando contio congregata est, atque dixisti: “Ultra non audiam vocem Domini Dei mei et ignem hunc maximum amplius non videbo, ne moriar”.
17 And the LORD said to me, 'This was well said.	17 Et ait Dominus mihi: “Bene omnia sunt locuti;
18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kinsmen, and will put my words into his mouth; he shall tell them all that I command him.	18 prophetam suscitabo eis de medio fratrum suorum similem tui et ponam verba mea in ore eius, loqueturque ad eos omnia, quae praecepero illi.
19 If any man will not listen to my words which he speaks in my name, I myself will make him answer for it.	19 Qui autem verba mea, quae loquetur in nomine meo, audire noluerit, ego ultor exsistam.
20 But if a prophet presumes to speak in my name an oracle that I have not commanded him to speak, or speaks in the name of other gods, he shall die.'	20 Propheta autem qui, arrogantia depravatus, voluerit loqui in nomine meo, quae ego non praecepi illi ut diceret, aut ex nomine alienorum deorum, interficietur”.
21 "If you say to yourselves, 'How can we recognize an oracle which the LORD has spoken?',	21 Quod si tacita cogitatione responderis: “Quomodo possum intellegere verbum, quod Dominus non est locutus?”,
22 know that, even though a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if his oracle is not fulfilled or verified, it is an oracle which the LORD did not speak. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously, and you shall have no fear of him.	22 hoc habebis signum: quod in nomine Domini propheta ille praedixerit, et non evenerit, hoc Dominus non est locutus, sed per tumorem animi sui propheta confinxit; et idcirco non timebis eum.
