1 »Los sacerdotes y los miembros de la tribu de los levitas no tendrán propiedad como las demás tribus. Por lo tanto, los sacerdotes y los levitas deberán vivir de los sacrificios que se llevan al altar del Señor y de las demás ofrendas del pueblo.
1 The priests and the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of Yahweh made by fire and his portion.
2 Ellos no necesitan tener propiedades porque el Señor es su heredad. Eso es lo que él les ha prometido.
2 They shall have no inheritance among their brothers. Yahweh is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
3 De cada toro u oveja que se lleve para ser ofrecido en sacrificio se deberá dar a los sacerdotes la espaldilla, las quijadas y los intestinos.
3 This shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest: the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the inner parts.
4 Además, los sacerdotes recibirán las primicias de las cosechas de cereales, de vino, de aceite y de lana.
4 You shall give him the first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep.
5 Porque el Señor tu Dios ha escogido a la tribu de Leví para que le sirva de generación en generación.
5 For Yahweh your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in Yahweh’s name, him and his sons forever.
6 »Si algún levita desea de todo corazón ir al santuario, y deja su lugar de residencia, no se lo impidan.
6 If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel where he lives, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which Yahweh shall choose,
7 Ese levita tiene el derecho de ministrar en el nombre del Señor en esa ciudad, de la misma manera que sus hermanos levitas que trabajan allí regularmente.
7 then he shall minister in the name of Yahweh his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before Yahweh.
8 Tendrá participación de los sacrificios y ofrendas por derecho propio, no como ayuda en caso de necesidad.
8 They shall have like portions to eat, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions.
9 »Cuando hayas entrado en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da, tendrás especial cuidado de no dejarte llevar por las costumbres corrompidas de las naciones que ahora viven allí.
9 When you have come into the land which Yahweh your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the abominations of those nations.
10 Nadie debe presentar a su hijo o hija como ofrenda para ser quemada. Tampoco se debe practicar la adivinación, la brujería, la hechicería,
10 There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who tells fortunes, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
11 la magia, el encantamiento, el ser médium espiritista o el consultar los espíritus de los muertos.
11 or a charmer, or someone who consults with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 Cualquiera que haga estas cosas será abominable delante del Señor, pues es por esta causa que el Señor echa de esta tierra a los pueblos que la habitan.
12 For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh. Because of these abominations, Yahweh your God drives them out from before you.
13 Deberás comportarte de manera irreprensible delante del Señor tu Dios.
13 You shall be blameless with Yahweh your God.
14 »Las naciones de cuyo territorio tú te adueñarás practican todas estas maldades; pero el Señor tu Dios no permitirá que tú las practiques también.
14 For these nations that you shall dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery and to diviners; but as for you, Yahweh your God has not allowed you so to do.
15 »El Señor tu Dios hará surgir en medio de todo el pueblo a un profeta como yo; a un hombre a quien deberán oír y obedecer.
15 Yahweh your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.
16 Esto fue lo que pediste a Dios en el monte Horeb. Allí, al pie de la montaña, le rogaste que no te hiciera oír su voz majestuosa nuevamente ni ver el fuego aterrador que estaba sobre el monte, porque tenías miedo de morir.
16 This is according to all that you desired of Yahweh your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again Yahweh my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.”
17 »“Bien”, me dijo el Señor, “haré lo que me han pedido.
17 Yahweh said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.
18 Levantaré de en medio de ellos un profeta como tú. Yo le diré lo que tiene que decir y él les dirá todo lo que yo ordene.
18 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
19 A cualquiera que no escuche los mensajes que él presente de parte mía, yo le pediré cuentas personalmente.
19 It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 Pero si un profeta dice traer un mensaje mío sin ser cierto, ese profeta morirá. Y cualquier profeta que afirme tener un mensaje de otros dioses deberá morir”.
20 But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”
21 Quizá te preguntes: “¿Cómo sabré si una profecía es de Dios o no?”.
21 You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which Yahweh has not spoken?”
22 Si lo que ese hombre ha profetizado no ocurre, no es el Señor quien ha dado el mensaje. Lo ha fraguado él mismo, no le tendrás temor.
22 When a prophet speaks in Yahweh’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Yahweh has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… "They shall have no inheritance, for the Lord Himself is their inheritance." And again, "The priests the Levites shall have no part in the whole tribe of Levi, nor substance with Israel; their substance is the offerings (fructifications) of the Lord: these shall they eat." Wherefore also Paul says, "I do not seek after a gift, but I seek after …
… prophet indeed He was; for it was of Himself He said, that "a prophet is not without honor, save in his own country." Again, of Him it was said to Moses, "A Prophet will I raise up to them of their brethren, like unto thee." Like, namely, as to the form of the flesh, but not in the eminence of …

Moses then, the prophet, saith, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me: but let that "like unto me" be reserved awhile to be examined in its proper place.
