Deuteronomy 18

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 'The levitical priests, the whole tribe of Levi wil be without share or heritage of their own in Israel; theywil live on the foods offered to Yahweh and on his heritage.	1 »Svećenici Levijevci – sve pleme Levijevo – neka nemaju udjela ni baštine s Izraelom; neka žive od žrtava paljenih Jahvi i od njegove baštine.
2 Levi wil have no heritage of his own among his brothers; Yahweh will be his heritage, as he haspromised him.	2 Neka, dakle, nemaju baštine među svojom braćom: Jahve je njihova baština, kako im je i rekao.
3 'This is what is due to the priests from the people, from those who offer an ox or a sheep in sacrifice:the priest must be given the shoulder, the cheeks and the stomach.	3 Ovo neka bude svećenička pristojba od naroda – od onih koji žrtve prinose, bilo to goveče ili što od sitne stoke: svećeniku treba dati pleće, vilice i želudac.
4 You must give him the first-fruits of your wheat, of your new wine and of your oil, as wel as the first-fruits of your sheep-shearing.	4 Daji mu i prvine od svoga žita, od svoga vina, od svoga ulja i prvine od vune svojih ovaca,
5 For Yahweh your God has chosen him from all your tribes to stand before Yahweh your God, to do theduties of the sacred ministry, and to bless in Yahweh's name -- him and his sons for al time.	5 jer je njega odabrao Jahve, Bog tvoj, od svih tvojih plemena; njega i njegove sinove, da zauvijek stoje pred Jahvom, Bogom tvojim, te da obavljaju službu i blagoslivljaju u ime Jahve.
6 'If a Levite living in one of your towns anywhere in Israel decides to move to the place chosen byYahweh,	6 Ako bi koji levit što boravi u nekom tvome gradu, bilo gdje u Izraelu, svom dušom zaželio da dođe u mjesto što ga Jahve odabere,
7 he shal minister there in the name of Yahweh his God like al his fel ow Levites who stand ministering there in the presence of Yahweh,	7 može tu službovati u ime Jahve, Boga svoga, kao i druga njegova braća Levijevci koji stoje ondje pred Jahvom.
8 eating equal shares with them -- what he has from the sale of his patrimony notwithstanding.	8 Neka jede jednak dio kao i drugi, bez obzira na prodanu očevinu.«
9 'When you have entered the country given you by Yahweh your God, you must not learn to imitate thedetestable practices of the nations there already.	9 »Kad uđeš u zemlju koju ti daje Jahve, Bog tvoj, nemoj se priučavati na odvratne čine onih naroda.
10 There must never be anyone among you who makes his son or daughter pass through the fire ofsacrifice, who practises divination, who is soothsayer, augur or sorcerer,	10 Neka se kod tebe ne nađe nitko tko bi kroz oganj gonio svoga sina ili svoju kćer; tko bi se bavio gatanjem, čaranjem, vračanjem i čarobnjaštvom;
11 weaver of spells, consulter of ghosts or mediums, or necromancer.	11 nitko tko bi bajao, zazivao duhove i duše predaka ili se obraćao na pokojnike.
12 For anyone who does these things is detestable to Yahweh your God; it is because of thesedetestable practices that Yahweh your God is driving out these nations before you.	12 Jer tko god takvo što čini gadi se Jahvi; zbog takvih odvratnosti njih i goni ispred tebe Jahve, Bog tvoj.
13 'You must be faultless in your relationship with Yahweh your God.	13 Budi posve vjeran Jahvi, Bogu svome.
14 For these nations whom you are going to dispossess have listened to soothsayers and mediums, butYahweh your God does not permit you to do this. From among yourselves, from among your own brothers,	14 Narodi koje ćeš naskoro otjerati s posjeda slušaju vračare i gatare, ali tebi to Jahve, Bog tvoj, ne dopušta.
15 Yahweh your God will raise up a prophet like me; you wil listen to him.	15 Proroka kao što sam ja, iz tvoje sredine, od tvoje braće, podignut će ti Jahve, Bog tvoj: njega slušajte!
16 This is exactly what you asked Yahweh your God to do -- at Horeb, on the day of the Assembly,when you said, "Never let me hear the voice of Yahweh my God or see this great fire again, or I shal die."	16 Posve onako kako si i tražio od Jahve, Boga svoga, na Horebu, na dan zbora, kada si govorio: ‘Neću više da slušam glas Jahve, Boga svoga, niti želim više gledati taj silni oganj da ne poginem!’
17 Then Yahweh said to me,	17 Nato mi reče Jahve: ‘Pravo su rekli.
18 "What they have said is wel said. From their own brothers I shal raise up a prophet like yourself;	18 Podignut ću im proroka između njihove braće, kao što si ti. Stavit ću svoje riječi u njegova usta da im kaže sve što mu zapovjedim.
19 I shal put my words into his mouth and he wil tel them everything I command him. Anyone whorefuses to listen to my words, spoken by him in my name, wil have to render an account to me.	19 A ne bude li tko poslušao mojih riječi što ih prorok bude govorio u moje ime, taj će odgovarati preda mnom.
20 But the prophet who presumes to say something in my name which I have not commanded him tosay, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die."	20 A prorok koji bi se usuđivao govoriti što u moje ime što ja ne budem zapovjedio da govori i koji bi govorio u ime drugih bogova, takav prorok neka se pogubi.’
21 'You may be privately wondering, "How are we to tel that a prophecy does not come from Yahweh?"	21 Možda ćeš reći u svome srcu: ‘Kako ćemo raspoznati riječ koju Jahve nije izrekao?’
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of Yahweh and the thing does not happen and the word is notfulfil ed, then it has not been said by Yahweh. The prophet has spoken presumptuously. You have nothing tofear from him.'	22 Kad prorok govori u ime Jahve pa to ne bude i riječ se ne ispuni, onda je to riječ koje Jahve nije kazao. U drskosti je taj prorok govorio. Nemoj od njega strahovati.«
