Deuteronomy 14
1 Ye are the sons of Jehovah your God. Ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
“Nou se fis a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou p ap blese kò nou, ni pase razwa sou fwon nou pou koz lanmò.
2 For thou are a holy people to Jehovah thy God, and Jehovah has chosen thee to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
Paske nou se yon pèp ki sen a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. SENYÈ a te chwazi ou kòm yon pèp pou pwòp posesyon pa Li, sòti nan tout pèp ki sou sifas tè a.
3 Thou shall not eat any abominable thing.
“Nou pa pou manje okenn bagay abominab.
4 These are the beasts which ye may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
Sila yo se bèt ke nou kapab manje: bèf, mouton, kabrit,
5 the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the chamois.
Sèf, kabrit mawon, den, bèf mawon, boukten, antilòp, ak mouton mòn.
6 And every beast that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.
Nenpòt bèt ak zago divize ki remonte manje li pami tout bèt yo, sila nou kapab manje.
7 Nevertheless of those that chew the cud, or of those that have the hoof cloven, these ye shall not eat: the camel, and the hare, and the coney, because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, they are unclean to you,
“Sepandan, pami sila ki remonte manje yo, oswa sila ki divize zago an de yo: chamo, lapèn ak daman; akoz, malgre yo remonte manje, yo pa divize zago yo, yo pa pwòp pou nou.
8 and the swine, because he parts the hoof but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you. Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch.
Kochon, paske li divize zago a, men pa remonte manje, li pa pwòp pou nou. Nou pa pou manje anyen nan chè li, ni touche kò mouri yo.
9 These ye may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales ye may eat.
“Sila nou kapab manje nan tout sa ki nan dlo yo: Nou ka manje nenpòt sa ki gen zèl naje avèk kal,
10 And whatever does not have fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean to you.
men okenn nan yo ki pa gen zèl naje avèk kal, nou pa pou manje yo; se pa pwòp pou nou.
11 Of all clean birds ye may eat,
“Nou kapab manje nenpòt zwazo ki pwòp.
12 but these are those of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey,
Men sila ke nou pa pou manje yo: èg, lòfre ak malfini lanmè,
13 and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite according to its kind,
milan wouj, otou, votou ak tout kalite parèy yo,
14 and every raven after its kind,
kòbo ak tout kalite parèy yo,
15 and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-gull, and the hawk according to its kind,
otrich, ibou, poul dlo, ak malfini avèk tout kalite parèy yo,
16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl,
koukou, frize, gwo kana mawon blan,
17 and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant,
grangozye, plonjon, chwèt,
18 and the stork, and the heron according to its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
sigòy, krabye, ak kalite parèy yo, sèpantye, tchotcho ak chòv-souri.
19 And all winged creeping things are unclean to you. They shall not be eaten.
“Tout reptil avèk zèl pa pwòp pou nou. Yo pa pou manje.
20 Of all clean birds ye may eat.
Nou kapab manje nenpòt zwazo ki pwòp.
21 Ye shall not eat of anything that dies of itself. Thou may give it to the sojourner who is within thy gates, that he may eat it, or thou may sell it to a foreigner, for thou are a holy people to Jehovah thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
“Nou pa pou manje okenn bagay ki mouri pou kont li. Nou gen dwa bay li a etranje ki rete nan vil nou, pou li kab manje l, oswa nou kapab vann li a yon etranje; paske nou se yon pèp ki sen a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa pou bouyi yon jenn ti kabrit ki nan lèt manman.
22 Thou shall surely tithe all the increase of thy seed; that which comes forth from the field year by year.
“Chak ane, nou va, anverite, bay ladim nan tout pwodwi a sila ke nou plante yo, ki sòti nan chan.
23 And thou shall eat before Jehovah thy God, in the place which he shall choose to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock, that thou may learn to fear Jehovah thy God always.
Nou va manje nan prezans SENYÈ a, kote Li chwazi pou etabli non Li an, dim a sereyal nou, a diven nèf nou, a lwil nou, premye ne a twoupo nou ak bann mouton nou, pou nou kapab vin aprann krent SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jis pou tout tan.
24 And if the way is too long for thee, so that thou are not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which Jehovah thy God shall choose to set his name there when Jehovah thy God shall bless thee,
“Si distans lan tèlman gran pou nou, pou nou pa kapab pote yon dim, akoz kote SENYÈ Bondye nou an chwazi pou mete non Li an twò lwen nou, lè SENYÈ Bondye nou an, beni nou,
25 then thou shall turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shall go to the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose.
alò, nou va twoke li pou lajan; epi mare lajan an nan men nou pou ale kote SENYÈ Bondye nou an, chwazi a.
26 And thou shall bestow the money for whatever thy soul desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever thy soul asks of thee. And thou shall eat there before Jehovah thy God, and thou shall rejoice, thou and thy household.
Nou kapab depanse lajan an pou nenpòt sa ke kè nou dezire: pou bèf kabwèt, oswa mouton, oswa diven, oswa bwason ki fò, oswa nenpòt sa kè nou dezire; epi la, nou va manje nan prezans SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an; epi rejwi nou menm avèk tout lakay nou.
27 And the Levite who is within thy gates, thou shall not forsake him, for he has no portion nor inheritance with thee.
Osi, nou p ap neglije Levit ki nan vil nou an, paske li pa gen pati ni eritaj pami nou.
28 At the end of every three years thou shall bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in the same year, and shall lay it up within thy gates.
“Nan fen chak twazyèm ane, nou va pote tout dim a sila nou pwodwi pou ane sa a, e nou va depoze li nan pwòp vil pa nou an.
29 And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with thee, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied, that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou do.
Levit la, akoz li pa gen pati oswa eritaj pami nou, e etranje, òfelen, ak vèv ki nan vil nou yo, yo va manje e satisfè, jis pou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, beni nou nan tout travay ke men nou fè.
