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.
Sons, are ye unto Yahweh your God, —ye shall not cut yourselves, neither shall ye put 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, a holy people, thou art unto Yahweh thy God, —and, of thee, did Yahweh make choice, that thou shouldest become his people as a treasure, above all the peoples that are on the face of the ground.
3 Piga nou manje anyen Seyè a deklare nou pa gen dwa manje.
Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
4 Men bèt nou gen dwa manje: se bèf, se ti mouton, se ti kabrit,
These, are the beasts which ye may eat, —the ox, the young of sheep, and the young of goats;
5 se sèf, se kabrit mawon, se den, se boukten, se antilòp, se bèf mawon, se mouflon.
the hart and the gazelle and the roebuck, —and the wild goat and the mountain goat, and the wild ox, and the mountain sheep.
6 Nou gen dwa manje vyann tout bèt ki gen zago fann an de depi yo remoute manje tou.
And every beast that parteth the hoof and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, chewing the cud, among beasts, the same, shall ye eat.
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.
Nevertheless these, shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, and of them that divide the cloven hoof, —the camel and the hare and the rabbit for, though they do chew the cud, yet the hoof, do they not part, unclean, they are unto 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 swine, because though he doth divide the hoof, yet he cheweth not the cud, unclean, he is unto you, —of their flesh, shall ye not eat, and their carcases, shall ye not touch.
9 Nou gen dwa manje tout bèt lanmè depi yo gen zèl najwa pou naje ak kal sou kò yo.
These, may ye eat of all that that are in the waters, —whatsoever hath fins and scales, ye may 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, whatsoever hath not, fins and scales, ye may not eat, —unclean, it is unto you.
11 Se pa tout zwazo moun k'ap sèvi Bondye gen dwa manje.
Of every clean bird, ye may eat;
12 Men zwazo nou pa gen dwa manje: se lèg, lòfre, malfini lanmè,
saving these, of which ye may not eat, —the eagle and the ossifrage and the osprey;
13 milan, otou, votou ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje kadav,
and the vulture and the kite, and the falcon 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 female ostrich, and the male ostrich and the sea-gull, —and the hawk, after its kind;
16 koukou, frize, gwo kanna mawon blan,
and the pelican and the bittern, and the swan;
17 grangozye, plonjon, chwèt,
and the vomiting pelican and the little vulture and the gannet;
18 sigòy, krabye ak tout lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo, sèpantye ak tchotcho.
and the stork, and the parrot, after its kind, —and the mountain-cock, and the bat.
19 Tout ti bèt ak zèl pa bon pou nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye. Piga nou manje yo.
And, as for every creeping thing that flieth, unclean, it is unto you, —they, shall not be eaten.
20 Men, nou gen dwa manje zwazo ki bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye.
All clean fowls, ye may 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'.
Ye shall not eat any thing that dieth of itself: to the sojourner who is within thy gates, mayest thou give it and he may eat it or thou mayest sell it to a foreigner, for a holy people, art thou unto Yahweh thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid, in the milk of its dam.
22 Chak lanne, n'a pran ladim rekòt nou, yon dizyèm nan tou sa jaden nou yo donnen, n'a mete l' apa.
Thou shalt surely tithe, all the increase of thy seed, —which the field bringeth 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 thou shalt eat before Yahweh thy God—in the place which he shall choose to make a habitation for his name there, —the tithe of thy corn thy new wine and thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock, —that thou mayest learn to revere Yahweh thy God 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,
But, when the way becometh too long for thee because thou canst not carry it, because the place is too far for thee which Yahweh thy God shall choose to put his name there, —because Yahweh thy God blesseth thee,
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 shalt thou turn it into silver, —and shalt bind up the silver in thy hand, and shalt journey unto the place, which Yahweh thy God shall choose;
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 shalt turn the silver into whatsoever thy soul desireth—of the herd or of the flock, or of wine or of strong drink, or of whatsoever thy soul shall ask thee for, —and shalt eat it there, before Yahweh thy God, and shalt rejoice, thou and thy household,
27 Pa bliye moun Levi k'ap viv nan lavil nou yo paske yo menm yo pa gen anyen ki rele yo pa yo.
and, the Levite who is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him, —for he hath neither portion nor inheritance with thee.
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, shalt thou bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in that year, —and shalt lay it up within thy 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 shall come in—because he hath neither portion nor inheritance with thee—and the sojourner and the fatherless and the widow who are within thy gates, and they shall eat and be satisfied, —that Yahweh thy God may bless thee, in all the work of thy hand which thou shalt do.
