Deuteronomy 18

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
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 لا يكون للكهنة اللاويين كل سبط لاوي قسم ولا نصيب مع اسرائيل. ياكلون وقائد الرب ونصيبه.
2 Levi wil have no heritage of his own among his brothers; Yahweh will be his heritage, as he haspromised him.	2 فلا يكون له نصيب في وسط اخوته. الرب هو نصيبه كما قال له
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 وهذا يكون حق الكهنة من الشعب من الذين يذبحون الذبائح بقرا كانت او غنما. يعطون الكاهن الساعد والفكين والكرش.
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 وتعطيه اول حنطتك وخمرك وزيتك واول جزاز غنمك.
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 لان الرب الهك قد اختاره من جميع اسباطك لكي يقف ليخدم باسم الرب هو وبنوه كل الايام
6 'If a Levite living in one of your towns anywhere in Israel decides to move to the place chosen byYahweh,	6 واذا جاء لاوي من احد ابوابك من جميع اسرائيل حيث هو متغرب وجاء بكل رغبة نفسه الى المكان الذي يختاره الرب
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 وخدم باسم الرب الهك مثل جميع اخوته اللاويين الواقفين هناك امام الرب
8 eating equal shares with them -- what he has from the sale of his patrimony notwithstanding.	8 يأكلون اقساما متساوية عدا ما يبيعه عن آبائه
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 متى دخلت الارض التي يعطيك الرب الهك لا تتعلم ان تفعل مثل رجس اولئك الامم.
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 لا يوجد فيك من يجيز ابنه او ابنته في النار ولا من يعرف عرافة ولا عائف ولا متفائل ولا ساحر
11 weaver of spells, consulter of ghosts or mediums, or necromancer.	11 ولا من يرقي رقية ولا من يسأل جانا او تابعة ولا من يستشير الموتى
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 لان كل من يفعل ذلك مكروه عند الرب. وبسبب هذه الارجاس الرب الهك طاردهم من امامك.
13 'You must be faultless in your relationship with Yahweh your God.	13 تكون كاملا لدى الرب الهك.
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 ان هؤلاء الامم الذين تخلفهم يسمعون للعائفين والعرّافين. واما انت فلم يسمح لك الرب الهك هكذا
15 Yahweh your God will raise up a prophet like me; you wil listen to him.	15 يقيم لك الرب الهك نبيا من وسطك من اخوتك مثلي. له تسمعون.
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 حسب كل ما طلبت من الرب الهك في حوريب يوم الاجتماع قائلا لا اعود اسمع صوت الرب الهي ولا ارى هذه النار العظيمة ايضا لئلا اموت
17 Then Yahweh said to me,	17 قال لي الرب قد احسنوا فيما تكلموا.
18 "What they have said is wel said. From their own brothers I shal raise up a prophet like yourself;	18 اقيم لهم نبيا من وسط اخوتهم مثلك واجعل كلامي في فمه فيكلمهم بكل ما اوصيه به
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 ويكون ان الانسان الذي لا يسمع لكلامي الذي يتكلم به باسمي انا اطالبه.
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 واما النبي الذي يطغي فيتكلم باسمي كلاما لم اوصه ان يتكلم به او الذي يتكلم باسم آلهة اخرى فيموت ذلك النبي.
21 'You may be privately wondering, "How are we to tel that a prophecy does not come from Yahweh?"	21 وان قلت في قلبك كيف نعرف الكلام الذي لم يتكلم به الرب.
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 فما تكلم به النبي باسم الرب ولم يحدث ولم يصر فهو الكلام الذي لم يتكلم به الرب بل بطغيان تكلم به النبي فلا تخف منه
