申18

申命記-Deuteronomy 第 18 章

18:1	祭司利未人，利未全支派，必在以色列中無分無業；他們要吃用獻給耶和華的火祭和祂的產業。 The Levitical priests, the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel; they shall eat Jehovah's offerings by fire and His inheritance.
18:2	他們在弟兄中必沒有產業；耶和華是他們的產業，正如耶和華所應許他們的。 Thus they shall have no inheritance in the midst of their brothers; Jehovah is their inheritance, as He has promised them.
18:3	祭司從百姓所當得的分乃是這樣：凡獻牛或羊為祭的，要把前腿和兩腮並胃髒給祭司。 And this shall be the priests' rightful due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether an ox or a sheep: They shall give the priest the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the stomach.
18:4	初收的五穀、新酒和新油，並初剪的羊毛，也要給他； You shall give him the first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your fresh oil, and the first shearing of your sheep;
18:5	因為耶和華你的神從你眾支派中將他和他的子孫揀選出來，使他們常在耶和華的名裏侍立供職。 For Jehovah your God has chosen him and his sons out of all your tribes to stand and minister in Jehovah's name always.
18:6	利未人無論寄居在以色列中的那一座城，若從那裏出來，一心願意到耶和華所選擇的地方， And if a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel, where he sojourns, and comes according to all his soul's desire to the place which Jehovah will choose,
18:7	就要在耶和華他神的名裏供職，像他眾弟兄利未人在那裏侍立在耶和華麵前一樣。 He shall minister in the name of Jehovah his God, like all his brothers, the Levites, who stand there before Jehovah.
18:8	除了他賣祖產所得的以外，他還可以與弟兄們吃同等分量的祭物。　 They shall eat equal portions, besides the proceeds from the sale of his father's estate.
18:9	你進了耶和華你神所賜之地，那些國民所行可憎惡的事，你不可學著行。 When you enter the land which Jehovah your God is giving you, you shall not learn to do things according to the abominations of those nations.
18:10	你們中間不可有人使兒女經火，也不可有占卜的、觀兆的、用法術的、行邪術的、 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or daughter pass through fire; anyone who performs divination, practices soothsaying, or interprets omens; or anyone who employs sorcery
18:11	念咒的、交鬼的、行巫術的、過陰的； Or casts spells; or anyone who consults a spirit of the dead or a familiar spirit or inquires of the dead;
18:12	凡行這些事的，都為耶和華所憎惡；因那些國民行這些可憎惡的事，所以耶和華你的神將他們從你麵前趕出。 For everyone who does these things is an abomination to Jehovah; and on account of these abominations Jehovah your God is dispossessing them from before you.
18:13	你要向著耶和華你的神作完全人。 You shall be blameless toward Jehovah your God.
18:14	因你所要趕出的那些國民，都聽信觀兆的和占卜的；但耶和華你的神從來不許你這樣行。 For these nations whom you are dispossessing listen to those who practice soothsaying and to those who perform divination, but Jehovah your God has not allowed you to do so.
18:15	耶和華你的神要從你們弟兄們中間，給你興起一位申言者像我，你們要聽從祂。 A Prophet will Jehovah your God raise up for you from your midst, from among your brothers, like me; you shall listen to Him.
18:16	正如你在何烈山大會的日子，向耶和華你神所求一切的話，說，求你不要叫我再聽見耶和華我神的聲音，也不要叫我再看見這大火，免得我死亡。 This is according to all that you asked of Jehovah your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear any more of the voice of Jehovah my God, and let me not see this great fire any longer, lest I die.
18:17	耶和華就對我說，他們所說的很好。 And Jehovah said to me, They have done well in what they have spoken.
18:18	我必從他們弟兄們中間，給他們興起一位申言者像你；我要將我的話放在祂口中，祂要將我一切所吩咐的，都告訴他們。 A Prophet will I raise up for them from the midst of their brothers like you; and I will put My words in His mouth, and He will speak to them all that I command Him.
18:19	誰不聽祂在我名裏所說的話，我必親自向誰討罪。 And the man who will not listen to My words which He will speak in My name, I Myself will require it from him.
18:20	若有申言者擅自讬我的名，說我所未曾吩咐他說的話，或是奉別神的名說話，那申言者必要治死。 But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name, which I did not command him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.
18:21	你心裏若說，我們怎能知道那是耶和華沒有說過的話呢？ And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word that Jehovah has not spoken?
18:22	申言者讬耶和華的名說話，所說的若不成就，也無效驗，那就是耶和華沒有說過的話，是那申言者擅自說的，你不要怕他。 When a prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the thing does not happen nor come about, that is the thing which Jehovah has not spoken. The prophet has spoken presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.
