Deteronòm 14
1 “Nou se fis a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou p ap blese kò nou, ni pase razwa sou fwon nou pou koz lanmò.
Ye are sons of Jehovah your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for a dead person.
2 Paske nou se yon pèp ki sen a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. SENYÈ a te chwazi ou kòm yon pèp pou pwòp posesyon pa Li, sòti nan tout pèp ki sou sifas tè a.
For thou art a holy people unto Jehovah thy God, and thee hath Jehovah chosen for a people of possession unto himself, out of all the peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
3 “Nou pa pou manje okenn bagay abominab.
Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
4 Sila yo se bèt ke nou kapab manje: bèf, mouton, kabrit,
These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat;
5 Sèf, kabrit mawon, den, bèf mawon, boukten, antilòp, ak mouton mòn.
the hart, and the gazelle, and the stag, and the wild goat, and the dishon and the oryx, and the wild sheep.
6 Nenpòt bèt ak zago divize ki remonte manje li pami tout bèt yo, sila nou kapab manje.
And every beast that hath cloven hoofs, and the feet quite split open into double hoofs, [and] which cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that ye shall eat.
7 “Sepandan, pami sila ki remonte manje yo, oswa sila ki divize zago an de yo: chamo, lapèn ak daman; akoz, malgre yo remonte manje, yo pa divize zago yo, yo pa pwòp pou nou.
Only these ye shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with hoofs cloven and split open: the camel, and the hare, and the rock-badger; for they chew the cud, but have not cloven hoofs — they shall be unclean unto you;
8 Kochon, paske li divize zago a, men pa remonte manje, li pa pwòp pou nou. Nou pa pou manje anyen nan chè li, ni touche kò mouri yo.
and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, yet cheweth not the cud — it shall be unclean unto you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch.
9 “Sila nou kapab manje nan tout sa ki nan dlo yo: Nou ka manje nenpòt sa ki gen zèl naje avèk kal,
These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales shall ye eat;
10 men okenn nan yo ki pa gen zèl naje avèk kal, nou pa pou manje yo; se pa pwòp pou nou.
but whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat: it shall be unclean unto you.
11 “Nou kapab manje nenpòt zwazo ki pwòp.
All clean birds shall ye eat.
12 Men sila ke nou pa pou manje yo: èg, lòfre ak malfini lanmè,
But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,
13 milan wouj, otou, votou ak tout kalite parèy yo,
and the falcon, and the kite, and the black kite after its kind;
14 kòbo ak tout kalite parèy yo,
and every raven after its kind;
15 otrich, ibou, poul dlo, ak malfini avèk tout kalite parèy yo,
and the female ostrich, and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk after its kind;
16 koukou, frize, gwo kana mawon blan,
the owl, and the ibis and the swan,
17 grangozye, plonjon, chwèt,
and the pelican, and the carrion vulture, and the gannet,
18 sigòy, krabye, ak kalite parèy yo, sèpantye, tchotcho ak chòv-souri.
and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
19 “Tout reptil avèk zèl pa pwòp pou nou. Yo pa pou manje.
And every winged crawling thing shall be unclean unto you; they shall not be eaten.
20 Nou kapab manje nenpòt zwazo ki pwòp.
All clean fowls shall ye eat.
21 “Nou pa pou manje okenn bagay ki mouri pou kont li. Nou gen dwa bay li a etranje ki rete nan vil nou, pou li kab manje l, oswa nou kapab vann li a yon etranje; paske nou se yon pèp ki sen a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa pou bouyi yon jenn ti kabrit ki nan lèt manman.
Ye shall eat of no carcase; thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eat it, or sell it unto a foreigner; for thou art a holy people to Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
22 “Chak ane, nou va, anverite, bay ladim nan tout pwodwi a sila ke nou plante yo, ki sòti nan chan.
Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, the produce of the field, year by year.
23 Nou va manje nan prezans SENYÈ a, kote Li chwazi pou etabli non Li an, dim a sereyal nou, a diven nèf nou, a lwil nou, premye ne a twoupo nou ak bann mouton nou, pou nou kapab vin aprann krent SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jis pou tout tan.
And thou shalt eat before Jehovah thy God, in the place which he will choose to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear Jehovah thy God continually.
24 “Si distans lan tèlman gran pou nou, pou nou pa kapab pote yon dim, akoz kote SENYÈ Bondye nou an chwazi pou mete non Li an twò lwen nou, lè SENYÈ Bondye nou an, beni nou,
And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which Jehovah thy God will choose to set his name there, when Jehovah thy God blesseth thee;
25 alò, nou va twoke li pou lajan; epi mare lajan an nan men nou pou ale kote SENYÈ Bondye nou an, chwazi a.
then shalt thou give it for money, and bind the money together in thy hand, and go to the place which Jehovah thy God will choose,
26 Nou kapab depanse lajan an pou nenpòt sa ke kè nou dezire: pou bèf kabwèt, oswa mouton, oswa diven, oswa bwason ki fò, oswa nenpòt sa kè nou dezire; epi la, nou va manje nan prezans SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an; epi rejwi nou menm avèk tout lakay nou.
and thou shalt give the money for whatever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever thy soul asketh of thee; and thou shalt eat there before Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thy house.
27 Osi, nou p ap neglije Levit ki nan vil nou an, paske li pa gen pati ni eritaj pami nou.
And thou shalt not forsake the Levite that is within thy gates; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee.
28 “Nan fen chak twazyèm ane, nou va pote tout dim a sila nou pwodwi pou ane sa a, e nou va depoze li nan pwòp vil pa nou an.
At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates;
29 Levit la, akoz li pa gen pati oswa eritaj pami nou, e etranje, òfelen, ak vèv ki nan vil nou yo, yo va manje e satisfè, jis pou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, beni nou nan tout travay ke men nou fè.
and the Levite — for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee — and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest.
