< Deuteronomy 14 >

1 You are the children of the Lord your God: you shall not make any baldness between you eyes for 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 your God has chosen you to be a peculiar people to himself 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 You shall not eat any abominable thing.
Erila ihe ọbụla m kwuru na ọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ.
4 These [are] the beasts which you shall eat; the calf of the herd, and lamb of the sheep, and kid of the goats;
Ndị a bụ anụmanụ unu ga-eri: ehi, atụrụ, na ewu,
5 the stag, and doe, and pygarg, and wild goat, and camelopard.
na ele nta, na mgbada, na atụrụ ọhịa, na ewu ọhịa, ele ukwu, na anịgọ bi nʼelu ugwu.
6 Every beast that divides the hoofs, and makes claws of two divisions, and that chews the cud amongst beasts, these you shall eat.
Anụmanụ ọbụla ụkwụ ya wara njakpa, nke na-atagharị ọnụ ka unu ga-eri.
7 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.
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 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.
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 these you shall eat of all that are in the water, you shall eat all that have fins and scales.
Nʼime ihe niile e kere eke, dị ndụ, biri na mmiri, unu nwere ike iri nke ọbụla nwere ntu na akpịrịkpa,
10 And all that have not fins and scales you shall not eat; they are unclean to you.
ma ihe ọbụla nke na-enweghị ntu na akpịrịkpa, unu erila ha, nʼihi na ha rụrụ arụ.
11 You shall eat every clean bird.
Unu ga-eri nnụnụ ọbụla dị ọcha,
12 And these of them you shall not eat; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,
ma unu agaghị eri ndị a: ugo, na udele, na udele ojii,
13 and the vulture, and the kite and the like to it,
na ndagbụ, na ọgankwọ, na ndagbụ dị iche iche,
na ugolọma ọbụla dị iche iche,
15 and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant,

16 and the heron, and the swan, and the stork,
na okwukwu nta, na okwukwu ukwu, na okwukwu nwere mpi,
17 and the cormorant, and the hawk, and its like, and the hoopoe, and the raven,
na okwolo na udele, na komorant,
18 and the pelican, and the diver and the like to it, and the red-bill and the bat.
na ụgbala, na utù dị iche iche, na nnụnụ ọdụ nta, na ụsụ.
19 All winged animals that creep are unclean to you; you shall not eat of them.
Ụmụ ahụhụ niile na-efe efe rụrụ arụ nye unu, unu erila ha,
20 You shall eat every clean bird.
Ma unu nwere ike iri ụmụ ahụhụ ndị ahụ nwere nku, ndị dị ọcha.
21 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.
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 You shall tithe a tenth of all the produce of your seed, the fruit of your field year by year.
Ị ghaghị inye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke mkpụrụ ubi gị afọ niile.
23 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.
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 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;
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 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.
mgbe ahụ, gbanwee otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nata ọlaọcha, were ọlaọcha ahụ jee nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị họpụtara.
26 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,
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 the Levite that is in your cities, because he has not a portion or inheritance with you.
Echefukwala ime ka ndị Livayị soro gị rie ihe ị kpatara, nʼihi na ha enweghị ihe nketa ọbụla, maọbụ ihe ubi dịka gị.
28 After three years you shall bring out all the tithes of your fruits, in that year you shall lay it up in your cities.
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 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.
