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.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, konsidere nou tankou pwòp pitit li. Lè nou gen moun mouri, piga nou kòche kò nou ak kouto, ni piga nou kale devan tèt nou.
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.
Paske se yon pèp k'ap viv apa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an nou ye. Se nou menm Seyè a te chwazi nan mitan tout pèp sou latè pou nou te tounen yon pèp ki rele l' pa li.
3 Thou shalt eate no maner of abomination.
Piga nou manje anyen Seyè a deklare nou pa gen dwa manje.
4 These are the beastes, which ye shall eate, the beefe, the sheepe, and the goate,
Men bèt nou gen dwa manje: se bèf, se ti mouton, se ti kabrit,
5 The hart, and the roe buck, and the bugle, and the wilde goate, and the vnicorne, and the wilde oxe, and the chamois.
se sèf, se kabrit mawon, se den, se boukten, se antilòp, se bèf mawon, se mouflon.
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.
Nou gen dwa manje vyann tout bèt ki gen zago fann an de depi yo remoute manje tou.
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:
Men, nan bèt ki remoute manje yo, piga nou manje vyann bèt tankou chamo, lapen ak daman ki pa gen zago yo fann an de. Bèt konsa pa bon pou nou manje.
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.
Konsa tou, piga nou manje vyann kochon, paske atout li gen zago li yo fann an de, li pa remoute manje. Se yon bèt ki pa bon pou nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye pou nou manje. Piga nou janm manje vyann yo ni piga nou janm manyen kadav yo.
9 These ye shall eate, of all that are in the waters: all that haue finnes and scales shall ye eate.
Nou gen dwa manje tout bèt lanmè depi yo gen zèl najwa pou naje ak kal sou kò yo.
10 And whatsoeuer hath no finnes nor scales, ye shall not eate: it shall be vncleane vnto you.
Men, piga nou manje ni sa ki pa gen zèl najwa, ni sa ki pa gen kal sou kò yo. Bèt konsa pa bon pou nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye pou nou manje.
11 Of all cleane birdes ye shall eate:
Se pa tout zwazo moun k'ap sèvi Bondye gen dwa manje.
12 But these are they, whereof ye shall not eate: the eagle, nor the goshawke, nor the osprey,
Men zwazo nou pa gen dwa manje: se lèg, lòfre, malfini lanmè,
13 Nor the glead nor the kite, nor the vulture, after their kind,
milan, otou, votou ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje kadav,
14 Nor all kinde of rauens,
tout kalite kaou,
15 Nor the ostrich, nor the nightcrow, nor the semeaw, nor the hawke after her kinde,
otrich, janmichèt, poul dlo, malfini ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje vyann vivan,
16 Neither the litle owle, nor the great owle, nor the redshanke,
koukou, frize, gwo kanna mawon blan,
17 Nor the pellicane, nor the swanne, nor the cormorant:
grangozye, plonjon, chwèt,
18 The storke also, and the heron in his kinde, nor the lapwing, nor the backe.
sigòy, krabye ak tout lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo, sèpantye ak tchotcho.
19 And euery creeping thing that flieth, shall be vncleane vnto you: it shall not be eaten.
Tout ti bèt ak zèl pa bon pou nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye. Piga nou manje yo.
20 But of all cleane foules ye may eate.
Men, nou gen dwa manje zwazo ki bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye.
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.
Piga nou janm manje ankenn bèt nou jwenn tou mouri, paske nou menm se yon pèp k'ap viv apa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou ye. Men, nou ka pran vyann lan pou nou bay osinon pou nou vann moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou ou ankò ki depasaj lakay nou. Piga nou janm kwit yon jenn ti kabrit nan lèt manman l'.
22 Thou shalt giue the tithe of all the increase of thy seede, that commeth foorth of the fielde yeere by yeere.
Chak lanne, n'a pran ladim rekòt nou, yon dizyèm nan tou sa jaden nou yo donnen, n'a mete l' apa.
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.
Apre sa, nou va ale kote Seyè a te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a. Epi la, devan Seyè a, n'a manje ladim farin nou, ladim diven nou ak ladim lwil oliv nou ansanm ak premye pitit bèf, premye pitit mouton ak premye pitit kabrit nou yo. Se konsa n'a aprann pou nou toujou gen krentif pou Seyè a.
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,
Men, si kote Seyè a chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a twò lwen lakay nou, kifè vwayaj la ap twòp pou nou, nou pa ka pote ladim rekòt Bondye ban nou pou benediksyon an,
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.
lè sa a, n'a vann ladim lan, n'a kenbe lajan lavant lan nan men nou epi n'a ale kote Seyè a te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a.
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.
Lè n'a rive, n'a achte ak lajan an sa nou pi pito: bèf, mouton, kabrit, diven, likè, wi tou sa nou pi renmen. Epi la, devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an n'a manje yo, n'a fè fèt ansanm ak tout moun lakay nou.
27 And the Leuite that is within thy gates, shalt thou not forsake: for he hath neither part nor inheritance with thee.
Pa bliye moun Levi k'ap viv nan lavil nou yo paske yo menm yo pa gen anyen ki rele yo pa yo.
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.
Chak twazan, n'a pran ladim tout rekòt n'a fè nan lanne a, n'a mete yo nan pòtay lavil nou yo.
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.
Moun Lèvi yo ki pa gen anyen ki rele yo pa yo va vini, y'a pran sa yo bezwen. Konsa tou, moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun ki pèdi papa yo, fanm vèv yo va vini, y'a pran sa yo bezwen. Se konsa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan tou sa n'ap fè.
