The Holy Scripture
Chapter XIII
But every time prophet desiring to settle among you is worthy of his food.
Πᾶς δὲ προφήτης ἀληθινὸς θέλων καθῆσθαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἄξιός ἐστι τῆς τροφῆς αὐτοῦ.
In like manner a true teacher is also worthy, like the workman, of his food.
ὡσαύτως διδάσκαλος ἀληθινός ἐστιν ἄξιος καὶ αὐτὸς ὥσπερ ὁ ἐργάτης τῆς τροφῆς αὐτοῦ.
Every firstfruit then of the produce of the wine-vat and of the threshing-floor, of thy oxen and of thy sheep, thou shalt take and give as the firstfruit to the prophets; for they are your chief-priests.
πᾶσαν οὖν ἀπαρχὴν γεννημάτων ληνοῦ καὶ ἅλωνος, βοῶν τε καὶ προβάτων λαβὼν δώσεις τὴν ἀπαρχὴν τοῖς προφήταις: αὐτοὶ γάρ εἰσιν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ὑμῶν.
But if ye have not a prophet, give them to the poor.
ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἔχητε προφήτην, δότε τοῖς πτωχοῖς.
If thou makest bread, take the firstfruit and give according to the commandment.
ἐὰν σιτίαν ποιῇς, τὴν ἀπαρχὴν λαβὼν δὸς κατὰ τὴν ἐντολήν.
In like manner, when thou openest a jar of wine or of oil, take the firstfruit and give to the prophets;
ὡσαύτως κεράμιον οἴνου ἡ ἐλαίου ἀνοίξας, τὴν ἀπαρχὴν λαβὼν δὸς τοῖς προφήταις:
yea and of money and raiment and every possession take the firstfruit, as shall seem good to thee, and give according to the commandment.
ἀργυρίου δὲ καὶ ἱματισμοῦ καὶ παντὸς κτήματος λαβὼν τὴν ἀπαρχήν, ὡς ἄν σοι δόξῃ, δὸς κατὰ τὴν ἐντολήν.
