1. ലേവ്യരായ പുരോഹിതന്മാര്ക്കും ലേവിഗോത്രത്തിന്നും യിസ്രായേലിനോടുകൂടെ ഔഹരിയും അവകാശവും ഉണ്ടാകരുതു; യഹോവയുടെ ദഹനയാഗങ്ങളും അവന്റെ അവകാശവുംകൊണ്ടു അവര് ഉപജീവനം കഴിക്കേണം.
1 കൊരിന്ത്യർ 9:13

1. యాజకులైన లేవీయులకు, అనగా లేవీగోత్రీయుల కందరికి ఇశ్రాయేలీయులతో పాలైనను స్వాస్థ్యమైనను ఉండదు, వారు యెహోవా హోమద్రవ్యములను తిందురు; అది వారి హక్కు.

2. ആകയാല് അവരുടെ സഹോദരന്മാരുടെ ഇടയില് അവര്ക്കും അവകാശം ഉണ്ടാകരുതു; യഹോവ അവരോടു അരുളിച്ചെയ്തതുപോലെ അവന് തന്നേ അവരുടെ അവകാശം.

2. వారి సహోదరులతో వారికి స్వాస్థ్యము కలుగదు; యెహోవా వారితో చెప్పి నట్లు ఆయనే వారికి స్వాస్థ్యము. జనులవలన, అనగా ఎద్దుగాని గొఱ్ఱెగాని మేకగాని బలిగా అర్పించువారి వలన

3. ജനത്തില്നിന്നു പുരോഹിതന്മാര്ക്കും ചെല്ലേണ്ടുന്ന അവകാശം എന്തെന്നാല്മാടിനെയോ ആടിനെയോ യാഗം കഴിക്കുന്നവന് കൈക്കുറകും കവിള് രണ്ടും ആമാശയവും കൊടുക്കേണം.

3. యాజకులు పొందవలసిన దేదనగా, కుడిజబ్బను రెండు దవడలను పొట్టను యాజకుని కియ్యవలెను.

4. ധാന്യം, വീഞ്ഞു, എണ്ണ എന്നിവയുടെ ആദ്യഫലവും നിന്റെ ആടുകളെ കത്രിക്കുന്ന ആദ്യരോമവും നീ അവന്നു കൊടുക്കേണം.

4. నీ ధాన్యములోను నీ ద్రాక్షారసములోను నీ నూనెలోను ప్రథమ ఫలములను నీ గొఱ్ఱెల మొదటి బొచ్చును అతని కియ్యవలెను.

5. യഹോവയുടെ നാമത്തില് ശുശ്രൂഷിപ്പാന് എപ്പോഴും നില്ക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ നിന്റെ സകലഗോത്രങ്ങളില്നിന്നു അവനെയും പുത്രന്മാരെയും അല്ലോ തിരഞ്ഞെടുത്തിരിക്കുന്നതു.

5. నిత్యము యెహోవా నామమున నిలిచి సేవచేయుటకు నీ గోత్రములన్నిటిలోను అతనిని అతని సంతతివారిని నీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా ఏర్పరచుకొని యున్నాడు.

6. ഏതു യിസ്രായേല്യപട്ടണത്തിലെങ്കിലും പരദേശിയായി പാര്ത്തിരുന്ന ഒരു ലേവ്യന് അവിടെനിന്നു യഹോവ തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുന്ന സ്ഥലത്തേക്കു വന്നാല്--അവന്നു മനസ്സുപോലെ വരാം--

6. ఒక లేవీయుడు ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల దేశమున తాను విదేశిగా నివసించిన నీ గ్రామములలో ఒకదానినుండి యెహోవా ఏర్పరచుకొను స్థలమునకు మిక్కిలి మక్కువతో వచ్చినప్పుడు

7. അവിടെ യഹോവയുടെ സന്നിധിയില് നിലക്കുന്ന ലേവ്യരായ തന്റെ സകല സഹോദരന്മാരെയുംപോലെ അവന്നും തന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയുടെ നാമത്തില് ശുശ്രൂഷ ചെയ്യാം.

7. అక్కడ యెహోవా సన్నిధిని నిలుచు లేవీయులైన తన గోత్రపువారు చేయునట్లు అతడు తన దేవుడైన యెహోవా నామమున సేవచేయవలెను.

8. അവന്റെ പിതൃസ്വത്തു വിറ്റുകിട്ടിയ മുതലിന്നു പുറമെ അവരുടെ ഉപജീവനം സമാംശമായിരിക്കേണം.

8. అమ్మబడిన తన పిత్రార్జితమువలన తనకు వచ్చినది గాక అతడు ఇతరులవలె వంతు అనుభవింపవలెను.

9. നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ നിനക്കു തരുന്ന ദേശത്തു എത്തിയശേഷം അവിടത്തെ ജാതികളുടെ മ്ളേച്ഛതകള് നീ പഠിക്കരുതു.

9. నీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా నీకిచ్చుచున్న దేశమున నీవు ప్రవేశించిన తరువాత ఆ జనముల హేయకృత్యములను నీవు చేయ నేర్చుకొనకూడదు.

10. തന്റെ മകനെയോ മകളെയോ അഗ്നിപ്രവേശം ചെയ്യിക്കുന്നവന് , പ്രശ്നക്കാരന് , മുഹൂര്ത്തക്കാരന് , ആഭിചാരകന് , ക്ഷുദ്രക്കാരന് ,

10. తన కుమారునైనను తన కుమార్తెనైనను అగ్నిగుండము దాటించు వానినైనను, శకు నముచెప్పు సోదెగానినైనను, మేఘ శకునములనుగాని సర్ప శకునములను గాని చెప్పు వానినైనను, చిల్లంగివానినైనను, మాంత్రికునినైనను, ఇంద్రజాలకునినైనను

11. മന്ത്രവാദി, വെളിച്ചപ്പാടന് , ലക്ഷണം പറയുന്നവന് , അജ്ഞനക്കാരന് എന്നിങ്ങനെയുള്ളവരെ നിങ്ങളുടെ ഇടയില് കാണരുതു.

11. కర్ణపిశాచి నడుగువానినైనను, దయ్యములయొద్ద విచారణచేయు వాని నైనను మీ మధ్య ఉండనియ్యకూడదు.

12. ഈ കാര്യങ്ങള് ചെയ്യുന്നവനെല്ലാം യഹോവേക്കു വെറുപ്പു ആകുന്നു; ഇങ്ങനെയുള്ള മ്ളേച്ഛതകള് നിമിത്തം നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ അവരെ നിന്റെ മുമ്പില്നിന്നു നീക്കിക്കളയുന്നു.

12. వీటిని చేయు ప్రతివాడును యెహోవాకు హేయుడు. ఆ హేయము లైన వాటినిబట్టి నీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా నీ యెదుటనుండి ఆ జనములను వెళ్లగొట్టుచున్నాడు.

13. നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയുടെ മുമ്പാകെ നീ നിഷ്കളങ്കനായിരിക്കേണം.
മത്തായി 5:48

13. నీవు నీ దేవుడైన యెహోవాయొద్ద యథార్థపరుడవై యుండవలెను.

14. നീ നീക്കിക്കളവാനിരിക്കുന്ന ജാതികള് മുഹൂര്ത്തക്കാരുടെയും പ്രശ്നക്കാരുടെയും വാക്കുകേട്ടു നടന്നു; നീയോ അങ്ങനെ ചെയ്വാന് നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ അനുവദിച്ചിട്ടില്ല.

14. నీవు స్వాధీనపరచుకొనబోవు జనములు మేఘశకునములను చెప్పువారి మాటను సోదెగాండ్ర మాటను విందురు. నీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా నిన్ను ఆలాగున చేయనియ్యడు.

15. നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ നിനക്കു എന്നെപ്പോലെ ഒരു പ്രവാചകനെ നിന്റെ മദ്ധ്യേ നിന്റെ സഹോദരന്മാരുടെ ഇടയില്നിന്നു എഴുന്നേല്പിച്ചുതരും; അവന്റെ വചനം നിങ്ങള് കേള്ക്കേണം.
മത്തായി 17:5, മർക്കൊസ് 9:7, ലൂക്കോസ് 9:35, ലൂക്കോസ് 24:27, യോഹന്നാൻ 1:21, യോഹന്നാൻ 5:46, യോഹന്നാൻ 6:14, യോഹന്നാൻ 7:40, പ്രവൃത്തികൾ അപ്പ. പ്രവര്‍ത്തനങ്ങള്‍ 3:22, പ്രവൃത്തികൾ അപ്പ. പ്രവര്‍ത്തനങ്ങള്‍ 7:37

15. హోరేబులో ఆ సమాజదినమున నీవునేను చావక యుండునట్లు మళ్లి నా దేవుడైన యెహోవా స్వరము నాకు విన బడకుండును గాక,

16. ഞാന് മരിക്കാതിരിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു ഇനി എന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയുടെ ശബ്ദം കേള്പ്പാനും ഈ മഹത്തായ തീ കാണ്മാനും എനിക്കു ഇടവരരുതേ എന്നിങ്ങനെ ഹോരേബില്വെച്ചു മഹായോഗം കൂടിയ നാളില് നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയോടു നീ അപേക്ഷിച്ചതുപോലെ തന്നേ.

16. ఈ గొప్ప అగ్ని నాకు ఇకను కనబడకుండునుగాక అని చెప్పితివి. ఆ సమయ మున నీ దేవుడైన యెహోవాను నీవు అడిగిన వాటన్నిటి చొప్పున నీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా నీ మధ్యను నావంటి ప్రవక్తను నీ సహోదరులలో నీకొరకు పుట్టించును, ఆయన మాట నీవు వినవలెను.

17. അന്നു യഹോവ എന്നോടു അരുളിച്ചെയ്തതു എന്തെന്നാല്അവര് പറഞ്ഞതു ശരി.

17. మరియు యెహోవా నాతో ఇట్లనెను. వారు చెప్పిన మాట మంచిది;

18. നിന്നെപ്പോലെ ഒരു പ്രവാചകനെ ഞാന് അവര്ക്കും അവരുടെ സഹോദരന്മാരുടെ ഇടയില്നിന്നു എഴുന്നേല്പിച്ചു എന്റെ വചനങ്ങളെ അവന്റെ നാവിന്മേല് ആക്കും; ഞാന് അവനോടു കല്പിക്കുന്നതൊക്കെയും അവന് അവരോടു പറയും.
യോഹന്നാൻ 1:21-45, യോഹന്നാൻ 6:14

18. వారి సహో దరులలోనుండి నీవంటి ప్రవక్తను వారికొరకు పుట్టించెదను; అతని నోట నా మాటల నుంచుదును; నేను అతని కాజ్ఞా పించునది యావత్తును అతడు వారితో చెప్పును.

19. അവന് എന്റെ നാമത്തില് പറയുന്ന എന്റെ വചനങ്ങള് യാതൊരുത്തെനങ്കിലും കേള്ക്കാതിരുന്നാല് അവനോടു ഞാന് ചോദിക്കും.
പ്രവൃത്തികൾ അപ്പ. പ്രവര്‍ത്തനങ്ങള്‍ 3:23

19. అతడు నా నామమున చెప్పు నా మాటలను విననివానిని దాని గూర్చి విచారణ చేసెదను.

20. എന്നാല് ഒരു പ്രവാചകന് ഞാന് അവനോടു കല്പിക്കാത്ത വചനം എന്റെ നാമത്തില് അഹങ്കാരത്തോടെ പ്രസ്താവിക്കയോ അന്യദൈവങ്ങളുടെ നാമത്തില് സംസാരിക്കയോ ചെയ്താല് ആ പ്രവാചകന് മരണശിക്ഷ അനുഭവിക്കേണം.

20. అంతేకాదు, ఏ ప్రవక్తయు అహంకారము పూని, నేను చెప్పుమని తన కాజ్ఞాపించని మాటను నా నామమున చెప్పునో, యితర దేవతల నామమున చెప్పునో ఆ ప్రవక్తయును చావవలెను.

21. അതു യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്യാത്ത വചനം എന്നു ഞങ്ങള് എങ്ങനെ അറിയും എന്നു നിന്റെ ഹൃദയത്തില് പറഞ്ഞാല്

21. మరియు ఏదొకమాట యెహోవా చెప్పినది కాదని మేమెట్లు తెలిసికొనగలమని మీరనుకొనిన యెడల,

22. ഒരു പ്രവാചകന് യഹോവയുടെ നാമത്തില് സംസാരിക്കുന്ന കാര്യം സംഭവിക്കയും ഒത്തുവരികയും ചെയ്യാഞ്ഞാല് അതു യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്തതല്ല; പ്രവാചകന് അതു സ്വയംകൃതമായി സംസാരിച്ചതത്രേ; അവനെ പേടിക്കരുതു.

22. ప్రవక్త యెహోవా నామమున చెప్పినప్పుడు ఆ మాట జరుగక పోయిన యెడలను ఎన్నడును నెరవేరకపోయిన యెడ లను అది యెహోవా చెప్పిన మాట కాదు, ఆ ప్రవక్త అహంకారముచేతనే దాని చెప్పెను గనుక దానికి భయ పడవద్దు.
