Deteronòm 14
1 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.
“You [are] sons of your God YHWH; you do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness between your eyes for the dead;
2 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.
for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH, and YHWH has fixed on you to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.
3 Piga nou manje anyen Seyè a deklare nou pa gen dwa manje.
You do not eat any abomination;
4 Men bèt nou gen dwa manje: se bèf, se ti mouton, se ti kabrit,
this [is] the beast which you eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,
5 se sèf, se kabrit mawon, se den, se boukten, se antilòp, se bèf mawon, se mouflon.
deer, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and ibex, and antelope, and zemer;
6 Nou gen dwa manje vyann tout bèt ki gen zago fann an de depi yo remoute manje tou.
and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.
7 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.
Only, this you do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the hyrax, for they are bringing up the cud, but the hoof has not divided—they [are] unclean to you;
8 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.
and the sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not [bringing] up the cud—it [is] unclean to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass.
9 Nou gen dwa manje tout bèt lanmè depi yo gen zèl najwa pou naje ak kal sou kò yo.
This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales you eat;
10 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.
and anything which does not have fins and scales you do not eat—it [is] unclean to you.
11 Se pa tout zwazo moun k'ap sèvi Bondye gen dwa manje.
Any clean bird you eat;
12 Men zwazo nou pa gen dwa manje: se lèg, lòfre, malfini lanmè,
and these [are] they of which you do not eat: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,
13 milan, otou, votou ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje kadav,
and the kite, and the falcon, and the vulture after its kind,
14 tout kalite kaou,
and every raven after its kind;
15 otrich, janmichèt, poul dlo, malfini ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje vyann vivan,
and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind;
16 koukou, frize, gwo kanna mawon blan,
the little owl, and the great owl, and the waterhen,
17 grangozye, plonjon, chwèt,
and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture, and the cormorant,
18 sigòy, krabye ak tout lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo, sèpantye ak tchotcho.
and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
19 Tout ti bèt ak zèl pa bon pou nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye. Piga nou manje yo.
And every teeming thing which is flying—it [is] unclean to you; they are not eaten;
20 Men, nou gen dwa manje zwazo ki bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye.
any clean bird you eat.
21 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'.
You do not eat of any carcass; you give it to the sojourner who [is] within your gates, and he has eaten it; or sell [it] to a stranger; for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH. You do not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.
22 Chak lanne, n'a pran ladim rekòt nou, yon dizyèm nan tou sa jaden nou yo donnen, n'a mete l' apa.
You certainly tithe all the increase of your seed which the field is bringing forth year by year;
23 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.
and you have eaten before your God YHWH, in the place where He chooses to cause His Name to dwell, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herd, and of your flock, so that you learn to fear your God YHWH [for] all the days.
24 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,
And when the way is too much for you, that you are not able to carry it—when the place is too far off from you which your God YHWH chooses to put His Name there, when your God YHWH blesses you—
25 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.
then you have given [it] in money, and have bound up the money in your hand, and gone to the place on which your God YHWH fixes;
26 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.
and you have given the money for anything which your soul desires, for oxen, and for sheep, and for wine, and for strong drink, and for anything which your soul asks for, and you have eaten before your God YHWH there, and you have rejoiced, you and your house.
27 Pa bliye moun Levi k'ap viv nan lavil nou yo paske yo menm yo pa gen anyen ki rele yo pa yo.
As for the Levite who [is] within your gates, you do not forsake him, for he has no portion and inheritance with you.
28 Chak twazan, n'a pran ladim tout rekòt n'a fè nan lanne a, n'a mete yo nan pòtay lavil nou yo.
At the end of three years you bring out all the tithe of your increase in that year, and have placed [it] within your gates;
29 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.
and the Levite has come in—for he has no part and inheritance with you—and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within your gates, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your hand which you do.”
