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;
Unu onwe unu bụ ụmụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, ya mere unu egbula onwe unu mma, maọbụ kpụchapụ agịrị isi dị nso nso egedege ihu unu nʼihi onye nwụrụ anwụ.
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.
Nʼihi na onye dị nsọ ka ị bụ nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị. Ọ bụkwa gị ka Onyenwe anyị họọrọ site na ndị niile nọ nʼelu ụwa, ị bụ ihe oke ọnụahịa nye ya.
3 No disgusting thing may be your food.
Erila ihe ọbụla m kwuru na ọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ.
4 These are the beasts which you may have for food: the ox, the sheep, and the goat;
Ndị a bụ anụmanụ unu ga-eri: ehi, atụrụ, na ewu,
5 The hart, the gazelle, and the roe, the mountain goat and the pygarg and the antelope and the mountain sheep.
na ele nta, na mgbada, na atụrụ ọhịa, na ewu ọhịa, ele ukwu, na anịgọ bi nʼelu ugwu.
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.
Anụmanụ ọbụla ụkwụ ya wara njakpa, nke na-atagharị ọnụ ka unu ga-eri.
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.
Ma otu ọ dị, nʼetiti anụ ndị ahụ na-atagharị nri maọbụ ndị ụkwụ ha wara njakpa, ndị a ka unu na-agaghị eri, ịnyịnya kamel, na ewi maọbụ ewi nkume, na anụ ndị ọzọ yiri ha, ọ bụ ezie na ha na-atagharị ọnụ, ma ha enweghị ụkwụ wara njakpa. Ha bụ ihe na-adịghị ọcha nye unu.
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.
Ezi bụkwa anụ na-adịghị ọcha; ọ bụ ezie na o nwere ụkwụ wara njakpa, ma ọ dịghị atagharị nri. Unu agaghị emetụla ozu ha aka maọbụ rie anụ ha.
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.
Nʼime ihe niile e kere eke, dị ndụ, biri na mmiri, unu nwere ike iri nke ọbụla nwere ntu na akpịrịkpa,
10 But any which have no skin-plates or wings for swimming, you may not take; they are unclean for you.
ma ihe ọbụla nke na-enweghị ntu na akpịrịkpa, unu erila ha, nʼihi na ha rụrụ arụ.
11 All clean birds may be used for food.
Unu ga-eri nnụnụ ọbụla dị ọcha,
12 But these birds you may not take: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;
ma unu agaghị eri ndị a: ugo, na udele, na udele ojii,
13 The falcon and the kite, and birds of that sort;
na ndagbụ, na ọgankwọ, na ndagbụ dị iche iche,
14 Every raven, and all birds of that sort;
na ugolọma ọbụla dị iche iche,
15 And the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk and birds of that sort;
na enyi nnụnụ, na egbe abalị, na nnụnụ oke osimiri, na egbe dị iche iche,
16 The little owl and the great owl and the water-hen;
na okwukwu nta, na okwukwu ukwu, na okwukwu nwere mpi,
17 And the pelican and the vulture and the cormorant;
na okwolo na udele, na komorant,
18 The stork and the heron and birds of that sort, and the hoopoe and the bat.
na ụgbala, na utù dị iche iche, na nnụnụ ọdụ nta, na ụsụ.
19 Every winged thing which goes flat on the earth is unclean to you and may not be used as food.
Ụmụ ahụhụ niile na-efe efe rụrụ arụ nye unu, unu erila ha,
20 But all clean birds you may take.
Ma unu nwere ike iri ụmụ ahụhụ ndị ahụ nwere nku, ndị dị ọcha.
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.
Unu erila anụ ọbụla nwụrụ anwụ. Ma otu o si dị, onye ọbịa nʼetiti unu nwere ike rie ya. I nwere ike inye ya, maọbụ resi ya onye ahụ, ma erila ya, nʼihi na onye dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ka ị bụ. Esila nwa ewu maọbụ nwa atụrụ nʼime mmiri ara nne ya.
22 Put on one side a tenth of all the increase of your seed, produced year by year.
Ị ghaghị inye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke mkpụrụ ubi gị afọ niile.
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.
Ị ga-erikwa mkpụrụ ndị a nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke gị, nʼebe ahụ ọ ga-ahọpụta ka ọ bụrụ ebe obibi ya, ị ga-anọ nʼebe ahụ rie otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke ọka gị, na mmanya vaịnị ọhụrụ gị, na mmanụ oliv gị, na nwa mbụ nke igwe ehi gị, na igwe ewu na atụrụ gị. Ihe e ji eme nke a bụ ka ị mụta ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ụbọchị ndụ gị niile.
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;
Ọ bụrụ na ebe Onyenwe anyị họpụtara dị anya, ọ bụrụkwa na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị agọziela gị ruo na ị pụghị ibu otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri gị gaa nʼebe ahụ (nʼihi na ebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị họpụtara dị anya),
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;
mgbe ahụ, gbanwee otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nata ọlaọcha, were ọlaọcha ahụ jee nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị họpụtara.
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;
Were ọlaọcha ahụ zụọ ihe ọbụla ị chọrọ: ehi, na atụrụ, na mmanya, maọbụ mmanya siri ike na-aba nʼanya maọbụ ihe ọbụla ọzọ nke ị chọrọ. Mgbe ahụ, gị na ezinaụlọ gị ga-eri nri nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, ṅụrịakwa ọṅụ.
27 And give a thought to the Levite who is living among you, for he has no part or heritage in the land.
Echefukwala ime ka ndị Livayị soro gị rie ihe ị kpatara, nʼihi na ha enweghị ihe nketa ọbụla, maọbụ ihe ubi dịka gị.
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:
Nʼọgwụgwụ afọ atọ ọbụla, ị ga-eweta otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke ihe ubi gị, chịkọta ha nʼebe a ga-echebe ha nʼobodo gị,
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.
ka ndị Livayị, ndị na-enweghị ihe nketa nʼetiti gị, na ndị ọbịa, na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ anwụ, na ụmụ mgbei niile nọ nʼobodo gị, bịa nʼebe ahụ were nri ha ga-eri, rijuokwa afọ. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-agọzi gị, gọziekwa ọrụ aka gị niile.
