Deuteronomy 14

1 “You [are] sons of your God YHWH; you do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness between your eyes for the dead;

Be ye the sones of youre Lord God; ye schulen not kitte you, nether ye schulen make ballidnesse,

2 for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH, and YHWH has fixed on you to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.

on a deed man, for thou art an hooli puple to thi Lord God, and he chees thee that thou be to hym in to a special puple, of alle folkis that ben on erthe.

3 You do not eat any abomination;

Ete ye not tho thingis that ben vncleene.

4 this [is] the beast which you eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,

This is a beeste which ye schulen ete; an oxe, and a scheep, and a goet, an hert,

5 deer, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and ibex, and antelope, and zemer;

a capret, a `wielde oxe, tregelafun, `that is, a beeste in parti lijk `a buk of geet, and in parti liik an hert, a figarde, an ostrich, a camelioun, `that is, a beeste lijk in the heed to a camel, and hath white spottis in the bodi as a parde, and `is lijk an hors in the necke, and in the feet is lijc a `wilde oxe, and a parde.

6 and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.

Ye schulen ete ech beeste that departith the clee `in to twei partis, and chewith code.

7 Only, this you do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the hyrax, for they are bringing up the cud, but the hoof has not divided—they [are] unclean to you;

Sotheli ye schulen not ete these beestis, of these that chewen code, and departen not the clee; a camel, an hare, and a cirogrille, `that is, a beeste ful of prickis, and is more than an irchoun; for tho chewen code, and departen not the clee, tho schulen be vncleene to you;

8 and the sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not [bringing] up the cud—it [is] unclean to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass.

also a swyn, for it departith the clee, and chewith not code, schal be vncleene; ye schulen not ete the fleischis of tho, and ye schulen not touche the deed bodies.

9 This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales you eat;

Ye schulen ete these thingis, of alle that dwellen in watris; ete ye tho thingis that han fynnes and scalis;

10 and anything which does not have fins and scales you do not eat—it [is] unclean to you.

ete ye not tho thingis that ben with out fynnes and scalis, for tho ben vncleene.

11 Any clean bird you eat;

Ete ye alle clene briddis;

12 and these [are] they of which you do not eat: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,

ete ye not vncleene briddis, that is, an egle, and a gripe,

13 and the kite, and the falcon, and the vulture after its kind,

and an aliete, ixon, `that is, a whijt brid lesse than a vultur, and is of the `kynde of vultris, and a vultur, and a kite bi his kynde,

14 and every raven after its kind;

and al thing of rauenys kynde,

15 and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind;

and a strucioun, and a nyyt crowe, and a lare,

16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the waterhen,

and an hauk bi his kynde, a fawcun,

17 and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture, and the cormorant,

and a swan, and a siconye, and a dippere, a pursirioun, and a reremous, a cormeraunt,

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

and a caladrie, alle in her kynde; also a lapwynke and a backe.

19 And every teeming thing which is flying—it [is] unclean to you; they are not eaten;

And al thing that crepith, and hath fynnes, schal be vncleene, and schal not be etun.

20 any clean bird you eat.

Ete ye al thing that is cleene; sotheli what euer thing is deed bi it silf, ete ye not therof.

21 You do not eat of any carcass; you give it to the sojourner who [is] within your gates, and he has eaten it; or sell [it] to a stranger; for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH. You do not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.

Yyue thou to the pilgrym which is with ynne thi yatis, that he ete, ether sille thou to hym, for thou art the hooli puple of thi Lord God. Thou schalt not sethe a kyde in `the mylk of his modir.

22 You certainly tithe all the increase of your seed which the field is bringing forth year by year;

Thou schalt departe the tenthe part of alle thi fruytis that comen forth in the lond bi ech yeer;

23 and you have eaten before your God YHWH, in the place where He chooses to cause His Name to dwell, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herd, and of your flock, so that you learn to fear your God YHWH [for] all the days.

and thou schal ete in the siyt of thi Lord God, in the place which he chees, that his name be clepid therynne; thou schalt offre the tithe of thi wheete, wyn, and oile, and the firste gendryd thingis of thi droues, and scheep, that thou lerne to drede thi Lord God in al tyme.

24 And when the way is too much for you, that you are not able to carry it—when the place is too far off from you which your God YHWH chooses to put His Name there, when your God YHWH blesses you—

Sotheli whanne the wei is lengere, and the place which thi Lord God chees is fer, and he hath blessid thee, and thou maist not bere alle these thingis to that place,

25 then you have given [it] in money, and have bound up the money in your hand, and gone to the place on which your God YHWH fixes;

thou schalt sille alle thingis, and schalt turne in to prijs, and thou schalt bere in thin hond, and thou schalt go to the place which thi Lord God chees;

26 and you have given the money for anything which your soul desires, for oxen, and for sheep, and for wine, and for strong drink, and for anything which your soul asks for, and you have eaten before your God YHWH there, and you have rejoiced, you and your house.

and thou schalt bie of the same money what euer thing plesith to thee, ethir of droues, ether of scheep; also thou schalt bie wyn, and sidur, and al thing that thi soule desirith; and thou schalt ete bifor thi Lord God, and thou schalt make feeste,

27 As for the Levite who [is] within your gates, you do not forsake him, for he has no portion and inheritance with you.

thou, and thin hows, and the dekene which is withynne thi yatis; be thou war lest thou forsake hym, for he hath not other part in possessioun.

28 At the end of three years you bring out all the tithe of your increase in that year, and have placed [it] within your gates;

In the thridde yeer thou schalt departe another dyme of alle thingis that growen to thee in that yeer, and thou schalt kepe withynne thi yatis.

29 and the Levite has come in—for he has no part and inheritance with you—and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within your gates, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your hand which you do.”

And the dekene schal come, whych hath noon other part nether possessioun with thee, and the pilgrym, and the fadirles, ether modirles child, and widue, that ben withynne thi yatis, `schulen come, and schulen ete, and be fillid, that thi Lord God blesse thee, in alle werkis of thin hondis whiche thou schalt do.
