Δευτερονόμιον 14

1 υἱοί ἐστε κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν οὐ φοιβήσετε οὐκ ἐπιθήσετε φαλάκρωμα ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν ὑμῶν ἐπὶ νεκρῷ

“Be sons of the Lord your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make yourselves bald, because of the dead.

2 ὅτι λαὸς ἅγιος εἶ κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου καὶ σὲ ἐξελέξατο κύριος ὁ θεός σου γενέσθαι σε αὐτῷ λαὸν περιούσιον ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν ἐπὶ προσώπου τῆς γῆς

For you are a holy people, for the Lord your God. And he chose you, so that you may be a people particularly his, out of all the nations on earth.

3 οὐ φάγεσθε πᾶν βδέλυγμα

You shall not eat the things that are unclean.

4 ταῦτα τὰ κτήνη ἃ φάγεσθε μόσχον ἐκ βοῶν καὶ ἀμνὸν ἐκ προβάτων καὶ χίμαρον ἐξ αἰγῶν

These are the animals which you ought to eat: the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,

5 ἔλαφον καὶ δορκάδα καὶ βούβαλον καὶ τραγέλαφον καὶ πύγαργον ὄρυγα καὶ καμηλοπάρδαλιν

the stag and the roe deer, the gazelle, the wild goat, the addax, the antelope, the giraffe.

6 πᾶν κτῆνος διχηλοῦν ὁπλὴν καὶ ὀνυχιστῆρας ὀνυχίζον δύο χηλῶν καὶ ἀνάγον μηρυκισμὸν ἐν τοῖς κτήνεσιν ταῦτα φάγεσθε

Every beast which has a hoof divided into two parts and which also chews the cud, you shall eat.

7 καὶ ταῦτα οὐ φάγεσθε ἀπὸ τῶν ἀναγόντων μηρυκισμὸν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν διχηλούντων τὰς ὁπλὰς καὶ ὀνυχιζόντων ὀνυχιστῆρας τὸν κάμηλον καὶ δασύποδα καὶ χοιρογρύλλιον ὅτι ἀνάγουσιν μηρυκισμὸν καὶ ὁπλὴν οὐ διχηλοῦσιν ἀκάθαρτα ταῦτα ὑμῖν ἐστιν

But those which chew over again, but do not have a divided hoof, you must not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the hyrax. Since these chew the cud, but do not have a divided the hoof, they shall be unclean to you.

8 καὶ τὸν ὗν ὅτι διχηλεῖ ὁπλὴν τοῦτο καὶ ὀνυχίζει ὄνυχας ὁπλῆς καὶ τοῦτο μηρυκισμὸν οὐ μαρυκᾶται ἀκάθαρτον τοῦτο ὑμῖν ἀπὸ τῶν κρεῶν αὐτῶν οὐ φάγεσθε καὶ τῶν θνησιμαίων αὐτῶν οὐχ ἅψεσθε

The pig also, since it has a divided hoof, but does not chew over again, shall be unclean. Their flesh shall not be eaten, and you shall not touch their carcasses.

9 καὶ ταῦτα φάγεσθε ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶν ἐν αὐτοῖς πτερύγια καὶ λεπίδες φάγεσθε

These you shall eat out of all that dwells in the waters: whatever has fins and scales, you shall eat.

10 καὶ πάντα ὅσα οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς πτερύγια καὶ λεπίδες οὐ φάγεσθε ἀκάθαρτα ὑμῖν ἐστιν

Whatever is without fins and scales, you shall not eat, for these are unclean.

11 πᾶν ὄρνεον καθαρὸν φάγεσθε

All the clean birds, you shall eat.

12 καὶ ταῦτα οὐ φάγεσθε ἀπ’ αὐτῶν τὸν ἀετὸν καὶ τὸν γρύπα καὶ τὸν ἁλιαίετον

You shall not eat those that are unclean: such as the eagle, and the griffin, and the osprey,

13 καὶ τὸν γύπα καὶ τὸν ἰκτῖνα καὶ τὰ ὅμοια αὐτῷ

the crane, and the vulture, and the kite, according to their kind,

14 καὶ πάντα κόρακα καὶ τὰ ὅμοια αὐτῷ

and any kind of raven,

15 καὶ στρουθὸν καὶ γλαῦκα καὶ λάρον

and the ostrich, and the owl, and the gull, and the hawk, according to their kind,

16 καὶ ἐρωδιὸν καὶ κύκνον καὶ ἶβιν

the heron, and the swan, and the ibis,

17 καὶ καταράκτην καὶ ἱέρακα καὶ τὰ ὅμοια αὐτῷ καὶ ἔποπα καὶ νυκτικόρακα

and the sea bird, the marsh hen, and the night raven,

18 καὶ πελεκᾶνα καὶ χαραδριὸν καὶ τὰ ὅμοια αὐτῷ καὶ πορφυρίωνα καὶ νυκτερίδα

the pelican and the plover, each in their kind, likewise the crested hoopoe and the bat.

19 πάντα τὰ ἑρπετὰ τῶν πετεινῶν ἀκάθαρτα ταῦτά ἐστιν ὑμῖν οὐ φάγεσθε ἀπ’ αὐτῶν

And anything which crawls and also has little wings shall be unclean, and shall not be eaten.

20 πᾶν πετεινὸν καθαρὸν φάγεσθε

All that is clean, you shall eat.

21 πᾶν θνησιμαῖον οὐ φάγεσθε τῷ παροίκῳ τῷ ἐν ταῖς πόλεσίν σου δοθήσεται καὶ φάγεται ἢ ἀποδώσῃ τῷ ἀλλοτρίῳ ὅτι λαὸς ἅγιος εἶ κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου οὐχ ἑψήσεις ἄρνα ἐν γάλακτι μητρὸς αὐτοῦ

But whatever has died of itself, you shall not eat from it. Give it to the sojourner, who is within your gates, so that he may eat, or sell it to him. For you are the holy people of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in the milk of his mother.

22 δεκάτην ἀποδεκατώσεις παντὸς γενήματος τοῦ σπέρματός σου τὸ γένημα τοῦ ἀγροῦ σου ἐνιαυτὸν κατ’ ἐνιαυτόν

Each year, you shall separate the tithes out of all your crops which spring forth from the earth.

23 καὶ φάγῃ αὐτὸ ἔναντι κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ᾧ ἂν ἐκλέξηται κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐπικληθῆναι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ οἴσετε τὰ ἐπιδέκατα τοῦ σίτου σου καὶ τοῦ οἴνου σου καὶ τοῦ ἐλαίου σου τὰ πρωτότοκα τῶν βοῶν σου καὶ τῶν προβάτων σου ἵνα μάθῃς φοβεῖσθαι κύριον τὸν θεόν σου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

And you shall eat these in the sight of the Lord your God, in the place which he will choose, so that his name may be invoked there: the tenth part of your grain and wine and oil, and the firstborn from the herds and your sheep. So may you learn to fear the Lord your God at all times.

24 ἐὰν δὲ μακρὰν γένηται ἀπὸ σοῦ ἡ ὁδὸς καὶ μὴ δύνῃ ἀναφέρειν αὐτά ὅτι μακρὰν ἀπὸ σοῦ ὁ τόπος ὃν ἂν ἐκλέξηται κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐπικληθῆναι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ὅτι εὐλογήσει σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου

But when the way and the place which the Lord your God will have chosen is further away, and he will have blessed you, so that you are not able to carry all these things to it,

25 καὶ ἀποδώσῃ αὐτὰ ἀργυρίου καὶ λήμψῃ τὸ ἀργύριον ἐν ταῖς χερσίν σου καὶ πορεύσῃ εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν ἂν ἐκλέξηται κύριος ὁ θεός σου αὐτόν

you shall sell them all, so as to turn them into money, and you shall carry it in your hand, and you shall set out for the place which the Lord will choose.

26 καὶ δώσεις τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ παντός οὗ ἐὰν ἐπιθυμῇ ἡ ψυχή σου ἐπὶ βουσὶ ἢ ἐπὶ προβάτοις ἐπὶ οἴνῳ ἢ ἐπὶ σικερα ἢ ἐπὶ παντός οὗ ἐὰν ἐπιθυμῇ ἡ ψυχή σου καὶ φάγῃ ἐκεῖ ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου καὶ εὐφρανθήσῃ σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου

And you shall buy with the same money whatever pleases you, either from the herds or from the sheep, and also wine and liquor, and all that your soul desires. And you shall eat in the sight of the Lord your God, and you shall feast: you and your household.

27 καὶ ὁ Λευίτης ὁ ἐν ταῖς πόλεσίν σου ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῷ μερὶς οὐδὲ κλῆρος μετὰ σοῦ

As for the Levite, who is within your gates, take care that you do not abandon him, for he has no other portion within your possession.

28 μετὰ τρία ἔτη ἐξοίσεις πᾶν τὸ ἐπιδέκατον τῶν γενημάτων σου ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἐκείνῳ θήσεις αὐτὸ ἐν ταῖς πόλεσίν σου

In the third year, you shall separate another tenth part of all the things which spring forth for you at that time, and you shall store it within your gates.

29 καὶ ἐλεύσεται ὁ λευίτης ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῷ μερὶς οὐδὲ κλῆρος μετὰ σοῦ καὶ ὁ προσήλυτος καὶ ὁ ὀρφανὸς καὶ ἡ χήρα ἡ ἐν ταῖς πόλεσίν σου καὶ φάγονται καὶ ἐμπλησθήσονται ἵνα εὐλογήσῃ σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔργοις οἷς ἐὰν ποιῇς

And the Levite, who has no other portion or possession with you, and the sojourner as well as the orphan and the widow who are within your gates, shall approach and eat and be satisfied, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands which you shall do.”
