Deuteronomy 14

1 Ye are the children of the Lord your God. Ye shall not cut yourselues, nor make you any baldnesse betweene your eyes for the dead.

You are the people of YHWH your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

2 For thou art an holy people vnto ye Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a precious people vnto himselfe, aboue all the people that are vpon the earth.

For you are a holy people to YHWH your God, and YHWH has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.

3 Thou shalt eate no maner of abomination.

You shall not eat any abominable thing.

4 These are the beastes, which ye shall eate, the beefe, the sheepe, and the goate,

These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

5 The hart, and the roe buck, and the bugle, and the wilde goate, and the vnicorne, and the wilde oxe, and the chamois.

the deer, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the chamois.

6 And euery beast that parteth ye hoofe, and cleaueth the clift into two clawes, and is of the beasts that cheweth the cudde, that shall ye eate.

Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two and chews the cud, among the animals, that may you eat.

7 But these ye shall not eate, of them that chew the cud, and of them that deuide and cleaue the hoofe onely: ye camell, nor the hare, nor the cony: for they chewe the cudde, but deuide not ye hoofe: therefore they shall be vncleane vnto you:

Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of those who have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, they are unclean to you.

8 Also the swine, because he deuideth the hoofe, and cheweth not the cud, shalbe vncleane vnto you: ye shall not eate of their flesh, nor touch their dead carkeises.

The pig, because it has a split hoof, but doesn't chew the cud, is unclean to you: of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.

9 These ye shall eate, of all that are in the waters: all that haue finnes and scales shall ye eate.

These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales may you eat;

10 And whatsoeuer hath no finnes nor scales, ye shall not eate: it shall be vncleane vnto you.

and whatever doesn't have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean to you.

11 Of all cleane birdes ye shall eate:

Of all clean birds you may eat.

12 But these are they, whereof ye shall not eate: the eagle, nor the goshawke, nor the osprey,

But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey,

13 Nor the glead nor the kite, nor the vulture, after their kind,

and the kite, and the buzzard, and the vulture after its kind,

14 Nor all kinde of rauens,

and every raven after its kind,

15 Nor the ostrich, nor the nightcrow, nor the semeaw, nor the hawke after her kinde,

and the ostrich, and the owl, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,

16 Neither the litle owle, nor the great owle, nor the redshanke,

the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl,

17 Nor the pellicane, nor the swanne, nor the cormorant:

and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant,

18 The storke also, and the heron in his kinde, nor the lapwing, nor the backe.

and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

19 And euery creeping thing that flieth, shall be vncleane vnto you: it shall not be eaten.

All winged crawling creatures are unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.

20 But of all cleane foules ye may eate.

Of all clean birds you may eat.

21 Ye shall eate of nothing that dieth alone, but thou shalt giue it vnto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eate it: or thou maiest sell it vnto a stranger: for thou art an holy people vnto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mothers milke.

You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you may give it to the foreigner living among you who is within your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to a foreigner: for you are a holy people to YHWH your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.

22 Thou shalt giue the tithe of all the increase of thy seede, that commeth foorth of the fielde yeere by yeere.

You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed, that which comes forth from the field year by year.

23 And thou shalt eate before the Lord thy God (in the place which he shall chose to cause his Name to dwell there) the tithe of thy corne, of thy wine, and of thine oyle, and the first borne of thy kine and of thy sheepe, that thou maiest learne to feare the Lord thy God alway.

You shall eat before YHWH your God, in the place which he shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn to fear YHWH your God always.

24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to cary it, because the place is farre from thee, where the Lord thy God shall chose to set his Name, when the Lord thy God shall blesse thee,

If the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it, because the place is too far from you, which YHWH your God shall choose, to set his name there, when YHWH your God shall bless you;

25 Then shalt thou make it in money, and take the money in thine hand, and goe vnto the place which the Lord thy God shall chose.

then you shall turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which YHWH your God shall choose:

26 And thou shalt bestowe the money for whatsoeuer thine heart desireth: whether it be oxe, or sheepe, or wine, or strong drinke, or whatsoeuer thine heart desireth: and shalt eate it there before the Lord thy God, and reioyce, both thou, and thine household.

and you shall bestow the money for whatever your soul desires, for cattle, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul asks of you; and you shall eat there before YHWH your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.

27 And the Leuite that is within thy gates, shalt thou not forsake: for he hath neither part nor inheritance with thee.

The Levite who is within your gates, you shall not forsake him; for he has no portion nor inheritance with you.

28 At the end of three yeere thou shalt bring foorth all the tithes of thine increase of the same yeere, and lay it vp within thy gates.

At the end of every three years you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase in the same year, and shall lay it up within your gates:

29 Then ye Leuite shall come, because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherlesse, and the widowe, which are within thy gates, and shall eate, and be filled, that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in al the worke of thine hand which thou doest.

and the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the foreigner living among you, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that YHWH your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
