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].
Isin ijoollee Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii ti. Nama duʼeef jettanii of hin murmurinaa yookaan rifeensa adda keessaniin oli jiru hin haaddatinaa;
2 We belong to Yahweh alone. Yahweh chose us from all the other people-groups on the earth to be his special people.
ati Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif saba qulqulluudhaatii. Waaqayyo akka ati qabeenya isaa jaallatamaa taatuuf jedhee saboota lafa irra jiraatan hunda keessaa si filateera.
3 “Do not eat anything that [Yahweh] detests.
Ati waan jibbisiisaa tokko illee hin nyaatin.
4 The animals [whose meat] you are permitted to eat are cattle, sheep, goats,
Horiin isin nyaachuu dandeessan kanneenii dha; sangaa, hoolaa, reʼee,
5 deer, gazelles, wild goats, antelopes, and mountain sheep.
gadamsa, kuruphee, borofa, reʼee diidaa, waaliyaa, saalaa fi hoolaa tulluu.
6 Those are animals that have split hoofs and that also (chew their cuds/regurgitate their food [from their stomachs] to chew it again).
Horii kotteen isaa baqaqee iddoo lamatti gargar qoodame kan halala guuru nyaachuu ni dandeessu.
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.
Garuu warra halala guuran yookaan warra kottee baqaqaa qaban keessaa gaala, illeettii, yookaan osolee hin nyaatinaa; isaan kunneen halala guuran iyyuu waan kotteen isaanii duudaa taʼeef isaan akka seeraatti isiniif qulqulluu miti.
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.
Booyyeenis qulqulluu miti; kotteen isaa baqaqaa taʼus booyyeen halala hin guuru. Isin foon isaanii hin nyaatinaa yookaan raqa isaanii hin tuqinaa.
9 You are permitted to eat any fish that has scales and fins.
Uumamawwan bishaan keessa jiraatan hunda keessaa warra qoochoo fi qola qaban kam iyyuu nyaachuu dandeessu.
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].
Garuu warra qoochoo fi qola hin qabne kam iyyuu hin nyaatinaa; isaan isiniif qulqulluu miti.
11 “You are permitted to eat the flesh of any bird that is acceptable [to Yahweh].
Isin simbira qulqulluu kam iyyuu nyaachuu dandeessu.
12 But eagles, vultures, black vultures,
Isaan kanneen garuu hin nyaatinaa; isaanis risaa, rumicha, rumicha gurraacha,
13 buzzards, all kinds of kites,
culullee, culullee gurraacha, culullee gosa garaa garaa,
14 all kinds of crows,
arraagessa gosa garaa garaa,
15 ostriches, seagulls,
guchii, urunguu, allaattii bishaanii, coroffee gosa garaa garaa,
16 owls, hawks, falcons,
urunguu xinnaa, urunguu guddaa, urunguu adii,
17 pelicans, vultures that eat dead animals, cormorants,
urunguu gammoojjii, abbaa koddaa, urunguu guddaa,
18 storks, herons, hoopoes, and bats, you must not eat.
huummoo, allaattii gosa kamii iyyuu, haadha gaayyeetii fi simbira halkanii ti.
19 “All insects with wings [and which walk on the ground] are unacceptable [to Yahweh]; do not eat them.
Ilbiisonni barrisan hundinuu isiniif qulqulluu miti; isaan hin nyaatinaa.
20 But other insects with wings [and which hop along the ground] are acceptable to eat.
Uumamawwan qoochoo qaban kanneen qulqulluu taʼan kam iyyuu garuu nyaachuu dandeessu.
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.”
Waan ofii isaatiin duʼe tokko illee hin nyaatin. Akka inni nyaatuuf alagaa magaalaa kee keessa jiraatuuf kenni yookaan nama ormaa tokkotti gurguradhu. Ati garuu saba Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif qulqulleeffamtee dha. Ilmoo reʼee tokko aannan haadhaa isheetiin hin affeelin.
22 “Once each year you must set apart (a tithe/10 percent) of all the crops that are produced/harvested in your fields.
Waan lafti qotiisaa kee waggaatti kennu hunda keessaa kudhan keessaa tokko kophaatti baasii kaaʼi.
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].
Akka Waaqayyo Waaqa kee sodaachuu barattuuf iddoo inni akka Maqaan isaa achi jiraatuuf filatutti midhaan kee, wayinii kee haaraa fi zayitii kee akkasumas hangafa loonii fi bushaayee kee fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti nyaadhu.
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:
Garuu yoo iddoon sun akka malee fagaatee, atis Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiin eebbifamtee sababii iddoon Waaqayyo akka Maqaan isaa achi jiraatuuf filatu sun fagoo taʼeef kennaa kee kudhan keessaa tokko baachuu dadhabde,
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.
kennaa kee kan kudhan keessaa tokko sana meetiitti geeddariitii, meetii sana qabadhuutii iddoo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee filatu dhaqi.
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.
Meetii sanaanis waanuma feete jechuunis, loon, hoolota, daadhii wayinii yookaan dhugaatii jabaa, yookaan waan barbaadde kam iyyuu biti. Ergasii atii fi warri mana keetii fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti nyaadhaa gammadaa.
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.
Lewwonni magaalaa kee keessa jiraatan qooda yookaan dhaala ofii isaanii waan hin qabneef ati isaan hin dagatin.
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.
Yeroo hunda dhuma waggaa sadaffaatti waan waggaa sana keessa galfatte kudhan keessaa tokko fuudhiitii magaalaawwan keessatti kuusi.
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.”
Kunis akka Lewwonni qooda yookaan dhaala ofii isaanii hin qabne, alagoonni, ijoolleen abbaa hin qabnee fi niitonni dhirsoonni isaanii irraa duʼan warri magaalaawwan keessa jiraatan nyaatanii quufanii fi akka Waaqayyo Waaqni kee hojii harka keetii hundaan si eebbisuuf.
