Deuteronomy 14
1 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
Lingabantwana beNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu. Kaliyikuzisika, lingenzi impabanga phakathi laphakathi kwamehlo enu ngenxa yabafileyo.
2 For thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be His own treasure out of all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
Ngoba uyisizwe esingcwele eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho; leNkosi ikukhethile ukuthi ube yisizwe esikhethekileyo kuyo, ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke ezisebusweni bomhlaba.
3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
Ungadli loba yikuphi okunengekayo.
4 These are the beasts which ye may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
Yilezi inyamazana elingazidla: Inkabi, imvu, lembuzi,
5 the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the antelope, and the mountain-sheep.
indluzele, lomziki, lomziki olempondo ezilembaxambaxa, lembuzi yeganga, lomtshwayeli, lenkabi yeganga, legogo,
6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and hath the hoof wholly cloven in two, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that ye may eat.
layo yonke inyamazana edabula isondo, edabula okudabukileyo kube zinklagu ezimbili, eyetshisayo phakathi kwezinyamazana; leyo lingayidla.
7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that only chew the cud, or of them that only have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the rock-badger, because they chew the cud but part not the hoof, they are unclean unto you;
Kodwa lezi kaliyikuzidla kuzo ezetshisayo, lakuzo ezidabula isondo elidabukileyo: Ikamela lomvundla lembila, ngoba ziyetshisa kodwa kazidabulanga isondo; zingcolile kini.
8 and the swine, because he parteth the hoof but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you; of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch.
Lengulube, ngoba idabula isondo kodwa kayetshisi; ingcolile kini. Lingadli okwenyama yazo, lingathinti izidumbu zazo.
9 These ye may eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales may ye eat;
Lezi lingazidla kuzo zonke ezisemanzini: Zonke ezilempiko lamaxolo lingazidla.
10 and whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean unto you.
Kodwa loba yikuphi okungelampiko lamaxolo lingakudli; kungcolile kini.
11 Of all clean birds ye may eat.
Zonke inyoni ezihlambulukileyo lingazidla.
12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the great vulture, and the bearded vulture, and the ospray;
Kodwa yilezi elingayikudla kuzo: Ukhozi lelinqe lengqungqulu edla inhlanzi,
13 and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite after its kinds;
lomzwazwa, lohelwane, lelinqe ngohlobo lwalo,
14 and every raven after its kinds;
lalo lonke iwabayi ngohlobo lwalo,
15 and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kinds;
lesikhova, lomandukulo, lenkanku, lokhozi ngohlobo lwalo,
16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl;
isikhova esincinyane, lesikhova esikhulu, lesikhova esimhlophe,
17 and the pelican, and the carrion-vulture, and the cormorant;
lewunkwe, lelinqe elikhulu, letshayamanzi,
18 and the stork, and the heron after its kinds, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
lengabuzane, lehemu ngohlobo lwalo, lemvenduna, lolulwane.
19 And all winged swarming things are unclean unto you; they shall not be eaten.
Lazo zonke izibungu ezilempiko zingcolile kini; kazingadliwa.
20 Of all clean winged things ye may eat.
Zonke izinyoni ezihlambulukileyo lingazidla.
21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself; thou mayest give it unto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto a foreigner; for thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk.
Lingabokudla langcuba; ungayinika owemzini ophakathi kwamasango akho ukuthi ayidle, loba uyithengise kowezizwe; ngoba uyisizwe esingcwele eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho. Ungapheki izinyane lembuzi ngochago lukanina.
22 Thou shalt surely tithe all the increase of thy seed, that which is brought forth in the field year by year.
Uzanikela ngoqotho okwetshumi kwesithelo sonke senhlanyelo yakho, insimu ekuthelayo iminyaka ngeminyaka.
23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which He shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
Njalo uzakudla phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, endaweni ezayikhetha ukuthi ibeke ibizo layo khona, okwetshumi kwamabele akho, okwewayini lakho elitsha, lokwamafutha akho, lamazibulo enkomo zakho lawezimvu zakho, ukuze ufunde ukuyesaba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho insuku zonke.
24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set His name there, when the LORD thy God shall bless thee;
Uba-ke indlela inde kakhulu kuwe, uze wehluleke ukukuthwala, ngoba ikhatshana kakhulu lawe indawo iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ezayikhetha ukuthi ibeke ibizo layo khona, lapho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ikubusisile,
25 then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose.
uzakuguqula-ke kube yimali, ubophele imali esandleni sakho, uye endaweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ezayikhetha,
26 And thou shalt bestow the money for whatsoever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul asketh of thee; and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thy household.
uthenge ngaleyomali loba kuyini umphefumulo wakho okufisayo, izinkabi loba izimvu loba iwayini loba okunathwayo okulamandla, loba kuyini umphefumulo wakho okufisayo; udle khona phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, uthabe wena lendlu yakho.
27 And the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee.
LomLevi ophakathi kwamasango akho, ungamdeli, ngoba kalasabelo lelifa kanye lawe.
28 At the end of every three years, even in the same year, thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase, and shall lay it up within thy gates.
Ekupheleni kweminyaka emithathu uzakhupha konke okwetshumi kwezithelo zakho ngalowomnyaka, ukugcine phakathi kwamasango akho.
29 And the Levite, because he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest.
LomLevi, lokhu engelasabelo lelifa kanye lawe, lowemzini, lentandane, lomfelokazi, abaphakathi kwamasango akho, bazakuza, badle, basuthe, ukuze iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ikubusise emsebenzini wonke wesandla sakho owenzayo.
