14.「到了耶和華你 神所賜你的地，得了那地居住的時候，若說：『我要立王治理我，像四圍的國一樣。』
When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, 「Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us,」
15.你總要立耶和華你 神所揀選的人為王。必從你弟兄中立一人；不可立你弟兄以外的人為王。
be sure to appoint over you a king the LORD your God chooses. He must be from among your fellow Israelites. Do not place a foreigner over you, one who is not an Israelite.
16.只是王不可為自己加添馬匹，也不可使百姓回埃及去，為要加添他的馬匹，因耶和華曾吩咐你們說：『不可再回那條路去。』
The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the LORD has told you, 「You are not to go back that way again.」
17.他也不可為自己多立妃嬪，恐怕他的心偏邪；也不可為自己多積金銀。
He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold.
18.他登了國位，就要將祭司利未人面前的這律法書，為自己抄錄一本，
When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests.
19.存在他那裏，要平生誦讀，好學習敬畏耶和華他的 神，謹守遵行這律法書上的一切言語和這些律例，
It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the LORD his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees
20.免得他向弟兄心高氣傲，偏左偏右，離了這誡命。這樣，他和他的子孫便可在以色列中，在國位上年長日久。
and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left. Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.
Offerings for Priests and Levites
第十八章 Deuteronomy 18
1.「祭司利未人和利未全支派必在以色列中無分無業；他們所吃用的就是獻給耶和華的火祭和一切所捐的。
The Levitical priests—indeed, the whole tribe of Levi—are to have no allotment or inheritance with Israel. They shall live on the food offerings presented to the LORD, for that is their inheritance.
