Deuteronomy 14
1 You are the children of the LORD your God. You 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 you are a holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of 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 You shall not eat any abominable thing.
Piga nou manje anyen Seyè a deklare nou pa gen dwa manje.
4 These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
Men bèt nou gen dwa manje: se bèf, se ti mouton, se ti kabrit,
5 the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the chamois.
se sèf, se kabrit mawon, se den, se boukten, se antilòp, se bèf mawon, se mouflon.
6 Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof split in two and chews the cud, amongst the animals, you may eat.
Nou gen dwa manje vyann tout bèt ki gen zago fann an de depi yo remoute manje tou.
7 Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of those who have the hoof split: the camel, the hare, and the rabbit. Because they chew the cud but don’t part the hoof, 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 The pig, because it has a split hoof but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses.
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 you may eat of all that are in the waters: you may eat whatever has fins and scales.
Nou gen dwa manje tout bèt lanmè depi yo gen zèl najwa pou naje ak kal sou kò yo.
10 You shall not eat whatever doesn’t have fins and scales. 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 you may eat.
Se pa tout zwazo moun k'ap sèvi Bondye gen dwa manje.
12 But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the osprey,
Men zwazo nou pa gen dwa manje: se lèg, lòfre, malfini lanmè,
13 the red kite, the falcon, the kite of any kind,
milan, otou, votou ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje kadav,
14 every raven of any kind,
tout kalite kaou,
15 the ostrich, the owl, the seagull, the hawk of any kind,
otrich, janmichèt, poul dlo, malfini ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje vyann vivan,
16 the little owl, the great owl, the horned owl,
koukou, frize, gwo kanna mawon blan,
17 the pelican, the vulture, the cormorant,
grangozye, plonjon, chwèt,
18 the stork, the heron after its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.
sigòy, krabye ak tout lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo, sèpantye ak tchotcho.
19 All winged creeping things are 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 Of all clean birds you may eat.
Men, nou gen dwa manje zwazo ki bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye.
21 You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself. You may give it to the foreigner living amongst you who is within your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people to the LORD your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its 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 You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed, that which comes out of the field 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 You shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place which he chooses to cause his name to dwell, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn to fear the LORD your 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 If the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it because the place which the LORD your God shall choose to set his name there is too far from you, when the LORD your God blesses you,
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 you shall turn it into money, bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which the LORD your 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 You shall trade the money for whatever your soul desires: for cattle, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul asks of you. You shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your 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 You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no portion nor inheritance with you.
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 every three years you shall bring all the tithe of your increase in the same year, and shall store it within your 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 The Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, as well as the foreigner living amongst you, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
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.
