Deuteronomy 14
1 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, konsidere nou tankou pwòp pitit li. Lè nou gen moun mouri, piga nou kòche kò nou ak kouto, ni piga nou kale devan tèt nou.
2 For thou art an holy people to the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a special people to himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
Paske se yon pèp k'ap viv apa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an nou ye. Se nou menm Seyè a te chwazi nan mitan tout pèp sou latè pou nou te tounen yon pèp ki rele l' pa li.
3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
Piga nou manje anyen Seyè a deklare nou pa gen dwa manje.
4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
Men bèt nou gen dwa manje: se bèf, se ti mouton, se ti kabrit,
5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
se sèf, se kabrit mawon, se den, se boukten, se antilòp, se bèf mawon, se mouflon.
6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.
Nou gen dwa manje vyann tout bèt ki gen zago fann an de depi yo remoute manje tou.
7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean to you.
Men, nan bèt ki remoute manje yo, piga nou manje vyann bèt tankou chamo, lapen ak daman ki pa gen zago yo fann an de. Bèt konsa pa bon pou nou manje.
8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, is unclean to you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.
Konsa tou, piga nou manje vyann kochon, paske atout li gen zago li yo fann an de, li pa remoute manje. Se yon bèt ki pa bon pou nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye pou nou manje. Piga nou janm manje vyann yo ni piga nou janm manyen kadav yo.
9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
Nou gen dwa manje tout bèt lanmè depi yo gen zèl najwa pou naje ak kal sou kò yo.
10 And whatever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean to you.
Men, piga nou manje ni sa ki pa gen zèl najwa, ni sa ki pa gen kal sou kò yo. Bèt konsa pa bon pou nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye pou nou manje.
11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
Se pa tout zwazo moun k'ap sèvi Bondye gen dwa manje.
12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
Men zwazo nou pa gen dwa manje: se lèg, lòfre, malfini lanmè,
13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
milan, otou, votou ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje kadav,
14 And every raven after his kind,
tout kalite kaou,
15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
otrich, janmichèt, poul dlo, malfini ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje vyann vivan,
16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
koukou, frize, gwo kanna mawon blan,
17 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
grangozye, plonjon, chwèt,
18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
sigòy, krabye ak tout lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo, sèpantye ak tchotcho.
19 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.
Tout ti bèt ak zèl pa bon pou nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye. Piga nou manje yo.
20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
Men, nou gen dwa manje zwazo ki bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye.
21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it to the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it to an alien: for thou art an holy people to the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in his mother’s milk.
Piga nou janm manje ankenn bèt nou jwenn tou mouri, paske nou menm se yon pèp k'ap viv apa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou ye. Men, nou ka pran vyann lan pou nou bay osinon pou nou vann moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou ou ankò ki depasaj lakay nou. Piga nou janm kwit yon jenn ti kabrit nan lèt manman l'.
22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
Chak lanne, n'a pran ladim rekòt nou, yon dizyèm nan tou sa jaden nou yo donnen, n'a mete l' apa.
23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy grain, of thy wine, and of thy oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
Apre sa, nou va ale kote Seyè a te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a. Epi la, devan Seyè a, n'a manje ladim farin nou, ladim diven nou ak ladim lwil oliv nou ansanm ak premye pitit bèf, premye pitit mouton ak premye pitit kabrit nou yo. Se konsa n'a aprann pou nou toujou gen krentif pou Seyè a.
24 And if the way is too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place is too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
Men, si kote Seyè a chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a twò lwen lakay nou, kifè vwayaj la ap twòp pou nou, nou pa ka pote ladim rekòt Bondye ban nou pou benediksyon an,
25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shalt go to the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
lè sa a, n'a vann ladim lan, n'a kenbe lajan lavant lan nan men nou epi n'a ale kote Seyè a te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a.
26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thy household,
Lè n'a rive, n'a achte ak lajan an sa nou pi pito: bèf, mouton, kabrit, diven, likè, wi tou sa nou pi renmen. Epi la, devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an n'a manje yo, n'a fè fèt ansanm ak tout moun lakay nou.
27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
Pa bliye moun Levi k'ap viv nan lavil nou yo paske yo menm yo pa gen anyen ki rele yo pa yo.
28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thy increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
Chak twazan, n'a pran ladim tout rekòt n'a fè nan lanne a, n'a mete yo nan pòtay lavil nou yo.
29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee, ) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest.
Moun Lèvi yo ki pa gen anyen ki rele yo pa yo va vini, y'a pran sa yo bezwen. Konsa tou, moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun ki pèdi papa yo, fanm vèv yo va vini, y'a pran sa yo bezwen. Se konsa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan tou sa n'ap fè.
