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].
Ọmọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ni ẹ̀yin jẹ́: nítorí náà, ẹ má ṣe ya ara yín ní abẹ. Ẹ má ṣe gé irun iwájú orí yín nítorí òkú.
2 We belong to Yahweh alone. Yahweh chose us from all the other people-groups on the earth to be his special people.
Nítorí pé ènìyàn mímọ́ ní ẹ jẹ́ fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, nínú gbogbo ènìyàn tí ó wà lórí ilẹ̀ ayé, Ọlọ́run ti yàn yín láti jẹ́ ìṣúra iyebíye rẹ̀.
3 “Do not eat anything that [Yahweh] detests.
Ẹ má ṣe jẹ ohun ìríra kankan.
4 The animals [whose meat] you are permitted to eat are cattle, sheep, goats,
Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ẹranko tí ẹ lè máa jẹ: màlúù, àgùntàn àti ewúrẹ́,
5 deer, gazelles, wild goats, antelopes, and mountain sheep.
àgbọ̀nrín, èsúró, etu, àgóró, ẹfọ̀n, ìgalà àti àgùntàn igbó.
6 Those are animals that have split hoofs and that also (chew their cuds/regurgitate their food [from their stomachs] to chew it again).
Ẹ lè jẹ gbogbo ẹranko tí pátákò ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ kì í ṣe méjì tí ó sì tún jẹ àpọ̀jẹ.
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.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ nínú gbogbo ẹran tí ń jẹ àpọ̀jẹ tí ó sì tún ya pátákò ẹsẹ̀ tí ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ni: ìbákasẹ, ehoro, àti ẹranko tí ó dàbí ehoro tí ń gbé inú àpáta. Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé wọ́n jẹ àpọ̀jẹ, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò la pátákò ẹsẹ̀, a kà wọ́n sí àìmọ́ fún yín.
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.
Ẹlẹ́dẹ̀ jẹ́ àìmọ́; bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ó ya pátákò ẹsẹ̀, kì í jẹ àpọ̀jẹ, ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹran rẹ̀, ẹ kò sì gbọdọ̀ fọwọ́ kan òkú rẹ̀.
9 You are permitted to eat any fish that has scales and fins.
Nínú gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè tí ń gbé inú omi, ẹ lè jẹ èyíkéyìí tí ó ní lẹbẹ àti ìpẹ́.
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].
Ṣùgbọ́n èyíkéyìí tí kò bá ní lẹbẹ àti ìpẹ́, ẹ má ṣe jẹ ẹ́, nítorí pé àìmọ́ ni wọ́n jẹ́ fún yín.
11 “You are permitted to eat the flesh of any bird that is acceptable [to Yahweh].
Ẹ lè jẹ ẹyẹ tí ó bá mọ́.
12 But eagles, vultures, black vultures,
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ̀nyí ní ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ: idì, igún, àkàlà,
13 buzzards, all kinds of kites,

17 pelicans, vultures that eat dead animals, cormorants,
òwìwí ọ̀dàn, àkàlà, ìgò,
18 storks, herons, hoopoes, and bats, you must not eat.
àkọ̀, òòdẹ̀, onírúurú ẹyẹ odò mìíràn, atọ́ka àti àdán.
19 “All insects with wings [and which walk on the ground] are unacceptable [to Yahweh]; do not eat them.
Àti gbogbo kòkòrò tí ń fò tí wọ́n ń kọ́wọ̀ọ́ rìn jẹ́ aláìmọ́ fun un yín, ẹ má ṣe jẹ wọ́n.
20 But other insects with wings [and which hop along the ground] are acceptable to eat.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ lè jẹ èyíkéyìí ẹ̀dá abìyẹ́ tí ó bá mọ́.
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.”
Ẹ má ṣe jẹ ohun tí ó ti kú sílẹ̀. Ẹ lè fún àwọn àjèjì tí ń gbé ní èyíkéyìí nínú ìlú yín. Òun lè jẹ ẹ́ tàbí kí ẹ tà á fún àwọn àjèjì. Ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn mímọ́ fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ni ẹ̀yin jẹ́. Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe ewúrẹ́ nínú wàrà ìyá rẹ̀.
22 “Once each year you must set apart (a tithe/10 percent) of all the crops that are produced/harvested in your fields.
Ẹ rí i dájú pé ẹ̀ ń fi ìdákan nínú mẹ́wàá nínú ìre oko yín lọ́dọọdún pamọ́ sí apá kan.
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].
Ẹ jẹ ìdámẹ́wàá oúnjẹ yín, wáìnì tuntun, òróró, àti àkọ́bí àwọn màlúù yín àti ewúrẹ́ ẹ yín, níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, ní ibi tí yóò yàn bí ibùgbé orúkọ rẹ̀. Kí ẹ lè kọ́ bí a ṣé ń bu ọlá fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín nígbà gbogbo.
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:
Bí ibẹ̀ bá jì tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ sì ti bùkún fún ọ, tí o kò sì le ru àwọn ìdámẹ́wàá rẹ (nítorí pé ibi tí Olúwa yóò yàn láti fi orúkọ rẹ̀ sí jìnnà jù).
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.
Ẹ pààrọ̀ àwọn ìdámẹ́wàá yín sí owó, ẹ mú owó náà lọ sí ibi tí Olúwa yóò yàn.
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.
Fi owó náà ra ohunkóhun tí o bá fẹ́, màlúù, àgùntàn, wáìnì, tàbí ọtí líle, tàbí ohunkóhun tí o bá fẹ́. Kí ìwọ àti ìdílé rẹ sì jẹ ẹ́ níwájú Olúwa níbẹ̀ kí ẹ sì máa yọ̀.
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.
Ẹ má ṣe gbàgbé àwọn Lefi tí ó ń gbé nì ìlú yín, nítorí pé wọn kò ní ìpín kan tàbí ogún kan tí í ṣe tiwọn.
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.
Ní òpin ọdún mẹ́ta mẹ́ta, ẹ̀yin yóò mú gbogbo ìdámẹ́wàá ìre oko àwọn ọdún náà, kí ẹ kó wọn jọ ní ìlú yín.
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.”
Kí àwọn Lefi (tí kò ní ìpín tàbí ogún tiwọn) àti àwọn àjèjì, àwọn aláìní baba, àti àwọn opó tí ń gbé ìlú yín lè wá, kí wọn sì jẹ kí wọn sì yó, kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ le è bùkún fún ọ, nínú gbogbo iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ.
