Deuteronomy 14
1 “We are people who belong to Yahweh our God. So, when people die, do not show that you are grieving by gashing/cutting yourselves or by shaving the hair on your foreheads [like the other people-groups do].
Un e nyithind Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu. Kik usar dendu kata uliel yie wiu, kuywago ngʼama otho, kata lielo pat wangʼu,
2 We belong to Yahweh alone. Yahweh chose us from all the other people-groups on the earth to be his special people.
nimar un oganda mowal ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu. Kuom ogendini manie wangʼ piny, Jehova Nyasaye oseyierou mondo ubed mwandune mogeno.
3 “Do not eat anything that [Yahweh] detests.
Kik ucham gimoro amora makwero.
4 The animals [whose meat] you are permitted to eat are cattle, sheep, goats,
Magi e kit le gi jamni munyalo chamo: rwath, rombo, diel,
5 deer, gazelles, wild goats, antelopes, and mountain sheep.
ogunde, nyakech, ngawo, diend bungu, abur, mwanda gi rombe manie gode.
6 Those are animals that have split hoofs and that also (chew their cuds/regurgitate their food [from their stomachs] to chew it again).
Unyalo chamo kit le moro amora gi jamni ma ombongʼ tiendegi opogore ariyo kendo manyamo kambula.
7 But there are other animals that chew their cuds that you must not eat. Those are camels, rabbits, and rock badgers. They chew their cuds, but their hooves are not split. So they are not acceptable for you to eat.
To kuom mago manyamo kambula kata mago ma ombongʼ tiendegi opogore ahinya, ok onego ucham kaka ngamia, apwoyo, gi ogwangʼ terere kata obedo ni ginyamo kambula, ombongʼ tiendegi ok opogore, to gin gik mogak ne un.
8 Do not eat pigs. They are unacceptable for you to eat; their hooves are split, but they do not chew cud. Do not eat the meat of those animals; do not even touch their dead bodies.
Anguro bende en gima ogak kata obedo ni tiendene opogore kamano, ok onyam kambula. Kik ucham ring-gi kata kik umul ringregi motho.
9 You are permitted to eat any fish that has scales and fins.
To kuom gik moko duto modakie pi, unyalo chamo mago man kod thuokgi kod kalagakla.
10 But anything else [that lives in the water] that does not have scales and fins, you must not eat, because [if you eat them], you will become unacceptable [to Yahweh].
To mago duto maonge gi thuokgi kata kalagakla ok onego ucham nimar kuomu gin gik mogak.
11 “You are permitted to eat the flesh of any bird that is acceptable [to Yahweh].
Unyalo chamo winyo moro amora ma ok ler.
12 But eagles, vultures, black vultures,
Winy ma ok onego ucham e magi: ongo, achuth, gi olit,
13 buzzards, all kinds of kites,
gi otenga kod kit otenga duto, gi okun-okun,
14 all kinds of crows,
gi kit agak duto,
15 ostriches, seagulls,
kit tula moro amora, gi okok, kata kit olith duto,
16 owls, hawks, falcons,
gi tula matin, tula maduongʼ gi tula marachar,
17 pelicans, vultures that eat dead animals, cormorants,
gi tula modak e thim gi mbusi gi achuth gi osou,
18 storks, herons, hoopoes, and bats, you must not eat.
gi nyamnaha, gi ngʼangʼa, tula kod olik tiga.
19 “All insects with wings [and which walk on the ground] are unacceptable [to Yahweh]; do not eat them.
Kute duto mafuyo e kweth kik ucham nimar gin gik makwero.
20 But other insects with wings [and which hop along the ground] are acceptable to eat.
To unyalo chamo gik mafuyo gi buombgi ma ok kwero.
21 “Do not eat any animal that has died naturally, [because its blood has not been drained out]. You may allow foreigners who live among you to eat those things or you may sell them to other foreigners. But you belong to Yahweh our God; [and those who belong to him are not permitted to eat the meat of animals whose blood has not been drained out]. “You must not cook a young sheep or goat in its mother’s milk.”
Kik ucham gimoro ma uyudo ka osetho kende. Unyalo miye japiny moro amora manie miechu mondo ochame kata unyalo uso ne japiny moro, nikech un oganda mowal ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu. Kutedo nyadiel to kik uole cha min.
22 “Once each year you must set apart (a tithe/10 percent) of all the crops that are produced/harvested in your fields.
Neni uketo tenge achiel kuom apar mag giu ma puotheu onyago.
23 Take those things to the place that Yahweh our God will choose [for you to worship him]. There eat the tithes of your grain, your wine, your [olive] oil, and the meat of the firstborn male animals of your cattle and your sheep. Do this in order that you may learn to always revere Yahweh, [the one who has blessed you by giving you these things].
Chokuru achiel kuom apar mar chambu, divai manyien kod mo, kaachiel gi nyithindo makayo mag kweth dhou kod kweth jambu e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kama noyier mondo oluongie Nyinge mondo omi ubed joma oluoro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ndalo duto.
24 If the place that Yahweh has chosen [for you to worship him] is very far from your home, with the result that you are not able to take there the tithes [of your crops] with which Yahweh has blessed you, do this:
Ka dipo ni kar romono bor kodi ma ok inyal tero achiel kuom apar mari ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi osegwedhigo (nikech kama Jehova Nyasaye oyiero ne Nyinge bor kodi),
25 Sell [IDM] the tithes of your crops, wrap the money carefully [in a cloth], and take it with you to the place of worship that Yahweh has chosen.
to inyalo loko mwandugo pesa mondo iter kama Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi biro yiero.
26 There, [with that money], you may buy whatever you want to—beef or lamb or wine or fermented drinks. And there, in the presence of Yahweh, you and your families should eat [and drink] those things and be happy.
Konyri gi pesano ka ingʼiewogo gimoro ma ihero; obed ring dhiangʼ kata ring rombo, divai kata math moketo thowi kata gimoro amora ma chunyi digombi. Eka in kod joodi duto nuchiem kanyo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu gi mor.
27 But be sure to not neglect/forget [to help] the descendants of Levi who live in your towns, because they will not own any land.
Kendo kik wiu wil kod joka Lawi modak e miechu, nimar gionge gi pok margi kata girkeni mowalnegi.
28 “At the end of every three years, bring a tithe of all your crops that have been produced/harvested in that year and store it in your towns.
Bangʼ higni adek, keluru achiel kuom apar duto mosechiw e higano mondo ukan-gi e miechu,
29 That food is for the descendants of Levi, because they do not have their own land, and for foreigners [who live among you], and for orphans and widows who live in your towns. They are permitted to come [to where the food is stored] and take what they need. Do that in order that Yahweh our God will bless you in everything that you do.”
mondo omi joka Lawi (maonge pok kata girkeni ma owalnegi), to gi jodak, nyithind kiye kod mon ma chwogi otho modak e miechu obi ochiem mayiengʼ kendo mondo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ogwedhu e gik moko duto ma lwetu timo.
