Deuteronomy 14
1 You are the children of the Lord your God: you are not to make cuts on your bodies or take off the hair on your brows in honour of the dead;
Inyuĩ nĩ inyuĩ ciana cia Jehova Ngai wanyu. Mũtikanetemange kana mwenjwo ihara ũthiũ-inĩ nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ mũkuũ,
2 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has taken you to be his special people out of all the nations on the face of the earth.
nĩgũkorwo mũrĩ andũ mamũrĩirwo Jehova Ngai wanyu. Kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe cia thĩ, Jehova nĩamũthuurĩte mũtuĩke andũ ake a bata.
3 No disgusting thing may be your food.
Mũtikanarĩe kĩndũ o nakĩ kĩrĩ thaahu.
4 These are the beasts which you may have for food: the ox, the sheep, and the goat;
Ici nĩcio nyamũ iria mwagĩrĩirwo kũrĩa: nĩ ndegwa, na ngʼondu, na mbũri,
5 The hart, the gazelle, and the roe, the mountain goat and the pygarg and the antelope and the mountain sheep.
na thwariga, na thiiya, na thwara, na mbũri ya werũ, na ndoo, na ngondi, o na ngʼondu cia irĩma-inĩ.
6 Any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again, may be used for food.
No mũrĩe nyamũ o yothe ĩrĩ mahũngũ maatũku na makarekania na nĩĩcookagia ithagumia.
7 But even among these, there are some which may not be used for food: such as the camel, the hare, and the coney, which are unclean to you, because, though their food comes back, the horn of their feet is not parted in two.
No rĩrĩ, harĩ nyamũ iria ĩcookagia ithagumia kana irĩ mahũngũ maatũku marekanĩtie biũ, mũtikanarĩe ngamĩĩra, kana mbũkũ, kana ikami. O na gũtuĩka nĩicookagia ithagumia, mahũngũ ma cio ti maatũku, icio irĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
8 And the pig is unclean to you, because though it has a division in the horn of its foot, its food does not come back; their flesh may not be used for food or their dead bodies touched by you.
Nayo ngũrwe, o na akorwo mahũngũ mayo nĩmarekanĩtie biũ-rĩ, ndĩcookagia ithagumia; ĩyo ĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ. Mũtikanarĩe nyama ciacio kana mũhutie ciimba ciacio.
9 And of the things living in the waters, you may take all those who have wings for swimming with and skins formed of thin plates.
Thĩinĩ wa nyamũ ciothe iria itũũraga maaĩ-inĩ, no mũrĩĩage ĩrĩa yothe ĩrĩ mathagu manyiitaine na ĩrĩ ngaracũ mwĩrĩ.
10 But any which have no skin-plates or wings for swimming, you may not take; they are unclean for you.
No ĩrĩa yothe ĩtarĩ tũthagu na ngaracũ, mũtikanamĩrĩe; nĩgũkorwo ĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
11 All clean birds may be used for food.
No mũrĩe nyoni o yothe ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ thaahu.
12 But these birds you may not take: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;
No ici mũtikanarĩe: nderi, na ndiyũ, na ndiyũ iria njirũ,
13 The falcon and the kite, and birds of that sort;
na hũngũ ĩrĩa ndune na mũthemba o wothe wa hũngũ iria njirũ,
14 Every raven, and all birds of that sort;
na mũthemba o wothe wa mahuru
15 And the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk and birds of that sort;
na ndundu ĩrĩa ĩrĩ rũhĩa, na ndundu ĩrĩa ĩgambaga, na nyoni ya iria-inĩ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ mathagu maraaya, na mũthemba o wothe wa rwĩgĩ,
16 The little owl and the great owl and the water-hen;
na gatundu karĩa kanini, na ndundu ĩrĩa nene, o na ndundu ĩrĩa njerũ,
17 And the pelican and the vulture and the cormorant;
na ndundu ya werũ, na rwĩgĩ rũnene rũrĩa rũrĩĩaga thamaki, na nyoni ya iria-inĩ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ ngingo ndaaya,
18 The stork and the heron and birds of that sort, and the hoopoe and the bat.
na karoga-ngunũ, na mĩthemba yothe ya cũcũ-wa-njoka, na hudihuda, o na rũhuhu.
19 Every winged thing which goes flat on the earth is unclean to you and may not be used as food.
Tũnyamũ tuothe tũrĩa tũrĩ mathagu tũmbũkaga tũrĩ gĩtutu tũrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ, mũtikanatũrĩe.
20 But all clean birds you may take.
No nyamũ yothe ĩrĩ mathagu na ndĩrĩ thaahu no mũmĩrĩe.
21 You may not have as food anything which has come to a natural death; the man from another country who is living with you may take it for food, or you may get a price for it from one of another nation; for you are a holy people to the Lord your God. The young goat is not to be cooked in its mother's milk.
Mũtikanarĩe kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩrĩa mũgaakora gĩkuĩte. No mũkĩhe mũndũ wa kũngĩ ũrĩa ũtũũraga itũũra-inĩ o rĩothe rĩa matũũra manyu, nake no akĩrĩe, kana ũkĩenderie mũrũrĩrĩ. No inyuĩ mũrĩ andũ maamũrĩirwo Jehova Ngai wanyu. Mũtikanaruge koori na iria rĩa nyina.
22 Put on one side a tenth of all the increase of your seed, produced year by year.
Menyererai mũrutage gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa maciaro mothe ma mĩgũnda yanyu mwaka o mwaka.
23 And make a feast before the Lord your God, in the place which is to be marked out, where his name will be for ever, of the tenth part of your grain and your wine and your oil, and the first births of your herds and your flocks; so that you may have the fear of the Lord your God in your hearts at all times.
Rĩagĩrai gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa ngano yanyu, na ndibei yanyu ya mũhihano, na maguta manyu, na marigithathi manyu ma ndũũru cianyu cia ngʼombe na cia mbũri mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu mũrĩ handũ harĩa agaathuura ha gũtũũria Rĩĩtwa rĩake, nĩgeetha mwĩrute gwĩtigĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu hĩndĩ ciothe.
24 And if the way is so long that you are not able to take these things to the place marked out by the Lord your God for his name, when he has given you his blessing, because it is far away from you;
No rĩrĩ, handũ hau hangĩkorwo nĩ haraihu mũno, na Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamũrathimĩte na mũtingĩhota gũkuua gĩcunjĩ kĩanyu gĩa ikũmi mũtware handũ hau (nĩ ũndũ handũ hau Jehova agaathuura ha gũtũũria Rĩĩtwa rĩake nĩhamũraihĩrĩirie mũno-rĩ),
25 Then let these things be exchanged for money, and, taking the money in your hand, go to the place marked out by the Lord your God for himself;
hĩndĩ ĩyo mũgaakũũrania gĩcunjĩ kĩanyu gĩa ikũmi na betha, na inyuĩ mũtware betha ĩyo handũ harĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu agaathuura.
26 And with the money get whatever you have a desire for, oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your soul's desire may be: and make a feast there before the Lord your God, and be glad, you and all your house;
Hũthĩrai betha ĩyo na kũgũra kĩrĩa gĩothe mũngĩenda: ngʼombe, kana ngʼondu, kana ndibei o na kana kĩndũ kĩgagatie gĩa kũnyua, kana o kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩa mũngĩenda. Ningĩ inyuĩ na andũ a nyũmba cianyu mũkaarĩĩra indo icio o hau mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu mũkenete.
27 And give a thought to the Levite who is living among you, for he has no part or heritage in the land.
Na mũtikanarekererie Alawii arĩa matũũraga matũũra-inĩ manyu, nĩgũkorwo matirĩ gĩthaka kana igai rĩao ene.
28 At the end of every three years take a tenth part of all your increase for that year, and put it in store inside your walls:
Na rĩrĩ, o mĩaka ĩtatũ yathira, mũrutage icunjĩ cia ikũmi cia uumithio wanyu wothe wa mwaka ũcio, mũgaaciga kũu matũũra-inĩ manyu,
29 And the Levite, because he has no part or heritage in the land, and the man from a strange country, and the child who has no father, and the widow, who are living among you, will come and take food and have enough; and so the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do.
nĩgeetha Alawii (arĩa matarĩ agaĩre gĩthaka kana igai rĩao ene), na andũ a kũngĩ, na ciana cia ngoriai, na atumia a ndigwa arĩa matũũraga matũũra-inĩ manyu, magookaga makarĩa na makahũũna, nĩguo Jehova Ngai wanyu amũrathimage wĩra-inĩ wothe wa moko manyu.
