Deuteronomo 14

1 Inu ndinu ana a Yehova Mulungu wanu. Osamadzichekacheka kapena kudzimeta pamphumi chifukwa cha abale anu amene amwalira,

You are the children of the Lord your God: you shall not make any baldness between you eyes for the dead.

2 pakuti ndinu anthu opatulika a Yehova Mulungu wanu. Pakati pa anthu onse pa dziko lonse lapansi, Yehova wasankha inu kuti chikhale chuma chake chamtengo wapatali.

For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord your God has chosen you to be a peculiar people to himself of all the nations on the face of the earth.

3 Musamadye chinthu chilichonse chonyansa.

You shall not eat any abominable thing.

4 Nyama zomwe mukhoza kudya ndi izi: ngʼombe, nkhosa, mbuzi,

These [are] the beasts which you shall eat; the calf of the herd, and lamb of the sheep, and kid of the goats;

5 mbawala, gwape, mphoyo, mphalapala, ngoma, nyumbu ndi mbalale.

the stag, and doe, and pygarg, and wild goat, and camelopard.

6 Nyama iliyonse imene ili ndi chipondero chogawikana pakati ndi yobzikula mukhoza kudya.

Every beast that divides the hoofs, and makes claws of two divisions, and that chews the cud amongst beasts, these you shall eat.

7 Komabe pakati pa nyama zimene zimabzikula kapena zogawikana zipondero, zimene simukuyenera kudya ndi ngamira, kalulu ndi mbira. Zimenezi ngakhale zimabzikula, zipondero zake sizogawikana, choncho ndi zodetsedwa, musadye.

And these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, and of those that divide the hoofs, and make distinct claws; the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud, and do not divide the hoof, these are unclean to you.

8 Nkhumba simabzikula ndi yodetsedwanso ngakhale ili ndi zipondero zogawikana. Musamadye nyama yake kapena kukhudza imene yafa.

And as for the swine, because he divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, yet he chews not the cud, he is unclean to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, you shall not touch their dead bodies.

9 Mwa zamoyo zonse zimene zimakhala mʼmadzi, mukhoza kudya chilichonse chimene chili ndi minga ya pa msana ndi mamba.

And these you shall eat of all that are in the water, you shall eat all that have fins and scales.

10 Koma chilichonse chimene chilibe minga ya pa msana ndi mamba musadye pakuti nʼchodetsedwa.

And all that have not fins and scales you shall not eat; they are unclean to you.

11 Mukhoza kudya mbalame iliyonse yoyenera kudya.

You shall eat every clean bird.

12 Koma simukuyenera kudya izi: mphungu, nkhwazi, mwimba,

And these of them you shall not eat; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,

13 nankapakapa, akamtema, akhungubwi a mitundu yonse, ndi mtundu uliwonse wa miphamba,

and the vulture, and the kite and the like to it,

14 mtundu uliwonse wa khwangwala,

15 kadzidzi wamphondo, kadzidzi wodzuma, chipudo, mtundu uliwonse wa akabawi,

and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant,

16 kadzidzi wamngʼono, chiswankhono ndi mantchichi,

and the heron, and the swan, and the stork,

17 tsekwe, vuwo, dembo,

and the cormorant, and the hawk, and its like, and the hoopoe, and the raven,

18 indwa, zimeza za mitundu yonse, nsadzu ndi mleme.

and the pelican, and the diver and the like to it, and the red-bill and the bat.

19 Zowuluka zonse za miyendo inayi ndi zodetsedwa. Musamadye zimenezi.

All winged animals that creep are unclean to you; you shall not eat of them.

20 Koma chowuluka chilichonse choyenera kudya mukhoza kudya.

You shall eat every clean bird.

21 Musamadye chilichonse chimene mwachipeza chofaifa. Mukhoza kupatsa mlendo amene akukhala mu mzinda wina uliwonse wa mizinda yanu. Iyeyo akhoza kudya kapena mukhoza kugulitsa kwa wina aliyense amene sali wa mtundu wanu. Koma inu ndinu anthu opatulika a Yehova Mulungu wanu. Musamaphike mwana wambuzi mu mkaka wa mayi wake.

You shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the sojourner in your cities and he shall eat it, or you shall sell it to a stranger, because you are a holy people to the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.

22 Muzionetsetsa kuti mukupatula chakhumi pa zokolola zanu chaka chilichonse.

You shall tithe a tenth of all the produce of your seed, the fruit of your field year by year.

23 Muzidyera chakhumi cha tirigu wanu, vinyo wanu watsopano ndi mafuta, ndi ana oyamba kubadwa a ngʼombe zanu pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu pa malo amene adzasankhe ngati kokhalako dzina lake, kuti muphunzire kuopa Yehova Mulungu wanu.

And you shall eat it in the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there; you shall bring the tithe of your corn and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.

24 Koma ngati malo amenewa ali kutali kwambiri ndipo kuti inu mwadalitsidwa ndi Yehova Mulungu wanu, ndipo simungathe kunyamula chakhumi chanu (chifukwa chakuti malo amene Yehova adzasankha kukayikako dzina lake ali kutali kwambiri),

And if the journey be too far for you, and you are not able to bring them, because the place [is] far from you which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there, because the Lord your God will bless you;

25 ndiye musinthitse chakhumi chanucho ndi siliva, ndipo mutenge silivayo ndi kupita naye kumalo kumene Yehova Mulungu wanu adzasankhe.

then you shall sell them for money, and you shall take the money in your hands, and you shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose.

26 Gwiritsani ntchito silivayo kugula chilichonse chimene muchifuna monga ngʼombe, nkhosa, vinyo kapena zakumwa zina zosasitsa, kapena china chilichonse chimene muchifuna. Ndipo inu ndi anthu a pa banja panu mudzazidyera komweko pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kukondwera.

And you shall give the money for whatever your soul shall desire, for oxen or for sheep, or for wine, or [you shall lay it out] on strong drink, or on whatever your soul may desire, and you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice and your house,

27 Alevi okhala mʼmizinda yanu musaleke kuwathandiza popeza alibe gawo lawo la chuma kapena cholowa chawochawo.

and the Levite that is in your cities, because he has not a portion or inheritance with you.

28 Kumapeto kwa zaka zitatu zilizonse muzibweretsa zakhumi zonse pa zokolola za chaka chimenecho ndi kuzisunga mʼmidzi yanu,

After three years you shall bring out all the tithes of your fruits, in that year you shall lay it up in your cities.

29 kuti Alevi (amene alibe gawo lawo la chuma kapena cholowa chawochawo), alendo, ana ndi akazi amasiye, amene akukhala mʼmizinda yanu akhoza kubwera kudzadya ndi kukhuta. Ndipo kuti akutero Yehova Mulungu wanu akudalitseni pa ntchito zanu zonse.

And the Levite shall come, because he has no part or lot with you, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which is in your cities; and they shall eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works which you shall do.
