Deuteronomy 14
1 “You [are] sons of your God YHWH; you do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness between your eyes for the dead;
“Nou se fis a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou p ap blese kò nou, ni pase razwa sou fwon nou pou koz lanmò.
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.
Paske nou se yon pèp ki sen a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. SENYÈ a te chwazi ou kòm yon pèp pou pwòp posesyon pa Li, sòti nan tout pèp ki sou sifas tè a.
3 You do not eat any abomination;
“Nou pa pou manje okenn bagay abominab.
4 this [is] the beast which you eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,
Sila yo se bèt ke nou kapab manje: bèf, mouton, kabrit,
5 deer, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and ibex, and antelope, and zemer;
Sèf, kabrit mawon, den, bèf mawon, boukten, antilòp, ak mouton mòn.
6 and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.
Nenpòt bèt ak zago divize ki remonte manje li pami tout bèt yo, sila nou kapab manje.
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;
“Sepandan, pami sila ki remonte manje yo, oswa sila ki divize zago an de yo: chamo, lapèn ak daman; akoz, malgre yo remonte manje, yo pa divize zago yo, yo pa pwòp pou nou.
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.
Kochon, paske li divize zago a, men pa remonte manje, li pa pwòp pou nou. Nou pa pou manje anyen nan chè li, ni touche kò mouri yo.
9 This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales you eat;
“Sila nou kapab manje nan tout sa ki nan dlo yo: Nou ka manje nenpòt sa ki gen zèl naje avèk kal,
10 and anything which does not have fins and scales you do not eat—it [is] unclean to you.
men okenn nan yo ki pa gen zèl naje avèk kal, nou pa pou manje yo; se pa pwòp pou nou.
11 Any clean bird you eat;
“Nou kapab manje nenpòt zwazo ki pwòp.
12 and these [are] they of which you do not eat: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,
Men sila ke nou pa pou manje yo: èg, lòfre ak malfini lanmè,
13 and the kite, and the falcon, and the vulture after its kind,
milan wouj, otou, votou ak tout kalite parèy yo,
14 and every raven after its kind;
kòbo ak tout kalite parèy yo,
15 and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind;
otrich, ibou, poul dlo, ak malfini avèk tout kalite parèy yo,
16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the waterhen,
koukou, frize, gwo kana mawon blan,
17 and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture, and the cormorant,
grangozye, plonjon, chwèt,
18 and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
sigòy, krabye, ak kalite parèy yo, sèpantye, tchotcho ak chòv-souri.
19 And every teeming thing which is flying—it [is] unclean to you; they are not eaten;
“Tout reptil avèk zèl pa pwòp pou nou. Yo pa pou manje.
20 any clean bird you eat.
Nou kapab manje nenpòt zwazo ki pwòp.
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.
“Nou pa pou manje okenn bagay ki mouri pou kont li. Nou gen dwa bay li a etranje ki rete nan vil nou, pou li kab manje l, oswa nou kapab vann li a yon etranje; paske nou se yon pèp ki sen a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa pou bouyi yon jenn ti kabrit ki nan lèt manman.
22 You certainly tithe all the increase of your seed which the field is bringing forth year by year;
“Chak ane, nou va, anverite, bay ladim nan tout pwodwi a sila ke nou plante yo, ki sòti nan chan.
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.
Nou va manje nan prezans SENYÈ a, kote Li chwazi pou etabli non Li an, dim a sereyal nou, a diven nèf nou, a lwil nou, premye ne a twoupo nou ak bann mouton nou, pou nou kapab vin aprann krent SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jis pou tout tan.
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—
“Si distans lan tèlman gran pou nou, pou nou pa kapab pote yon dim, akoz kote SENYÈ Bondye nou an chwazi pou mete non Li an twò lwen nou, lè SENYÈ Bondye nou an, beni nou,
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;
alò, nou va twoke li pou lajan; epi mare lajan an nan men nou pou ale kote SENYÈ Bondye nou an, chwazi a.
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.
Nou kapab depanse lajan an pou nenpòt sa ke kè nou dezire: pou bèf kabwèt, oswa mouton, oswa diven, oswa bwason ki fò, oswa nenpòt sa kè nou dezire; epi la, nou va manje nan prezans SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an; epi rejwi nou menm avèk tout lakay nou.
27 As for the Levite who [is] within your gates, you do not forsake him, for he has no portion and inheritance with you.
Osi, nou p ap neglije Levit ki nan vil nou an, paske li pa gen pati ni eritaj pami nou.
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;
“Nan fen chak twazyèm ane, nou va pote tout dim a sila nou pwodwi pou ane sa a, e nou va depoze li nan pwòp vil pa nou an.
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.”
Levit la, akoz li pa gen pati oswa eritaj pami nou, e etranje, òfelen, ak vèv ki nan vil nou yo, yo va manje e satisfè, jis pou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, beni nou nan tout travay ke men nou fè.
