Deuteronomy 14
1 Sons, are ye unto Yahweh your God, —ye shall not cut yourselves, neither shall ye put 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, a holy people, thou art unto Yahweh thy God, —and, of thee, did Yahweh make choice, that thou shouldest become his people as a treasure, above all the peoples that 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 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
“Nou pa pou manje okenn bagay abominab.
4 These, are the beasts which ye may eat, —the ox, the young of sheep, and the young of goats;
Sila yo se bèt ke nou kapab manje: bèf, mouton, kabrit,
5 the hart and the gazelle and the roebuck, —and the wild goat and the mountain goat, and the wild ox, and the mountain sheep.
Sèf, kabrit mawon, den, bèf mawon, boukten, antilòp, ak mouton mòn.
6 And every beast that parteth the hoof and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, chewing the cud, among beasts, the same, shall ye eat.
Nenpòt bèt ak zago divize ki remonte manje li pami tout bèt yo, sila nou kapab manje.
7 Nevertheless these, shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, and of them that divide the cloven hoof, —the camel and the hare and the rabbit for, though they do chew the cud, yet the hoof, do they not part, unclean, they are unto 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 swine, because though he doth divide the hoof, yet he cheweth not the cud, unclean, he is unto you, —of their flesh, shall ye not eat, and their carcases, shall ye not touch.
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 These, may ye eat of all that that are in the waters, —whatsoever hath fins and scales, ye may 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, whatsoever hath not, fins and scales, ye may not eat, —unclean, it is unto you.
men okenn nan yo ki pa gen zèl naje avèk kal, nou pa pou manje yo; se pa pwòp pou nou.
11 Of every clean bird, ye may eat;
“Nou kapab manje nenpòt zwazo ki pwòp.
12 saving these, of which ye may not eat, —the eagle and the ossifrage and the osprey;
Men sila ke nou pa pou manje yo: èg, lòfre ak malfini lanmè,
13 and the vulture and the kite, and the falcon 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 female ostrich, and the male ostrich and the sea-gull, —and the hawk, after its kind;
otrich, ibou, poul dlo, ak malfini avèk tout kalite parèy yo,
16 and the pelican and the bittern, and the swan;
koukou, frize, gwo kana mawon blan,
17 and the vomiting pelican and the little vulture and the gannet;
grangozye, plonjon, chwèt,
18 and the stork, and the parrot, after its kind, —and the mountain-cock, and the bat.
sigòy, krabye, ak kalite parèy yo, sèpantye, tchotcho ak chòv-souri.
19 And, as for every creeping thing that flieth, unclean, it is unto you, —they, shall not be eaten.
“Tout reptil avèk zèl pa pwòp pou nou. Yo pa pou manje.
20 All clean fowls, ye may eat.
Nou kapab manje nenpòt zwazo ki pwòp.
21 Ye shall not eat any thing that dieth of itself: to the sojourner who is within thy gates, mayest thou give it and he may eat it or thou mayest sell it to a foreigner, for a holy people, art thou unto Yahweh thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid, in the milk of its dam.
“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 Thou shalt surely tithe, all the increase of thy seed, —which the field bringeth 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 thou shalt eat before Yahweh thy God—in the place which he shall choose to make a habitation for his name there, —the tithe of thy corn thy new wine and thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock, —that thou mayest learn to revere Yahweh thy God 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 But, when the way becometh too long for thee because thou canst not carry it, because the place is too far for thee which Yahweh thy God shall choose to put his name there, —because Yahweh thy God blesseth thee,
“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 shalt thou turn it into silver, —and shalt bind up the silver in thy hand, and shalt journey unto the place, which Yahweh thy God shall choose;
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 shalt turn the silver into whatsoever thy soul desireth—of the herd or of the flock, or of wine or of strong drink, or of whatsoever thy soul shall ask thee for, —and shalt eat it there, before Yahweh thy God, and shalt rejoice, thou and thy household,
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 and, the Levite who is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him, —for he hath neither portion nor inheritance with thee.
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, shalt thou bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in that year, —and shalt lay it up within thy 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 shall come in—because he hath neither portion nor inheritance with thee—and the sojourner and the fatherless and the widow who are within thy gates, and they shall eat and be satisfied, —that Yahweh thy God may bless thee, in all the work of thy hand which thou shalt 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.
