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 the children of the Lord your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
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 a holy people art thou unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath made choice of thee to be unto himself a peculiar nation above all the nations 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 may eat: The ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 Sèf, kabrit mawon, den, bèf mawon, boukten, antilòp, ak mouton mòn.
The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow-deer, and the chamois, and the gazelle, and the wild ox, and the antelope.
6 Nenpòt bèt ak zago divize ki remonte manje li pami tout bèt yo, sila nou kapab manje.
And every beast that hath parted hoofs, and whose feet are cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts—that alone may ye 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.
Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, and of those that possess the divided cloven hoof: The camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; unclean are they 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, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you; of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their dead carcass 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,
This may ye eat of all that is in the waters: all that hath fins and scales may ye eat;
10 men okenn nan yo ki pa gen zèl naje avèk kal, nou pa pou manje yo; se pa pwòp pou nou.
And whatsoever hath not fins and scales shall ye not eat; it is unclean unto you.
11 “Nou kapab manje nenpòt zwazo ki pwòp.
Every clean bird may ye eat.
12 Men sila ke nou pa pou manje yo: èg, lòfre ak malfini lanmè,
But these are they which ye shall not eat of them: The eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey,
13 milan wouj, otou, votou ak tout kalite parèy yo,
And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
14 kòbo ak tout kalite parèy yo,
And every raven after his kind,
15 otrich, ibou, poul dlo, ak malfini avèk tout kalite parèy yo,
And the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind,
16 koukou, frize, gwo kana mawon blan,
The little owl, and the great owl and the swan,
17 grangozye, plonjon, chwèt,
And the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the cormorant,
18 sigòy, krabye, ak kalite parèy yo, sèpantye, tchotcho ak chòv-souri.
And the stork, and the heron after his kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
19 “Tout reptil avèk zèl pa pwòp pou nou. Yo pa pou manje.
And every winged insect is unclean unto you: it shall not be eaten.
20 Nou kapab manje nenpòt zwazo ki pwòp.
All clean fowls may 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 not eat any thing that dieth of itself: unto the stranger that is in thy gates canst thou give it, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien; for thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God; thou shalt not seethe 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 produce of thy seed, which the field bringeth forth 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 the Lord thy God, in the place which he will choose to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thy oil, and the first-born of thy herds and of thy flocks; in order that thou may learn to fear the Lord thy God all the days.
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 the Lord thy God will choose to set his name there, because the Lord thy God will bless 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 turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and thou shalt go unto the place which the Lord 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 lay out that money for whatsoever thy soul longeth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul asketh of thee; and thou shalt eat it there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thy household.
27 Osi, nou p ap neglije Levit ki nan vil nou an, paske li pa gen pati ni eritaj pami nou.
And the Levite, who is within thy gates, him shalt thou not forsake; 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 shalt thou bring forth all the tithe of thy produce in the same year, and thou shalt lay it down 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 then shall come the Levite, because he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee, with the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates, and they shall eat and be satisfied; in order that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest.
