“We are people who belong to Yahweh our God. So, when people die, do not show that you are grieving by gashing/cutting yourselves or by shaving the hair on your foreheads [like the other people-groups do].
2 gama ku jama’a ce mai tsarki ga Ubangiji Allahnku. Daga dukan mutane a fuskar duniya, Ubangiji ya zaɓe ku, ku zama abin mallakarsa.
We belong to Yahweh alone. Yahweh chose us from all the other people-groups on the earth to be his special people.

“Do not eat anything that [Yahweh] detests.
4 Waɗannan su ne dabbobin da za ku iya ci, saniya, tunkiya, akuya,
The animals [whose meat] you are permitted to eat are cattle, sheep, goats,
5 mariri, barewa, mariya, makwarna, mazo, gada da kuma tunkiyar dutse.
deer, gazelles, wild goats, antelopes, and mountain sheep.
6 Za ku iya cin duk dabbar da take da rababben kofato, wadda kuma take sāke tona abin da suka riga suka haɗiye.
Those are animals that have split hoofs and that also (chew their cuds/regurgitate their food [from their stomachs] to chew it again).
7 Amma, cikin waɗanda suke sāke tona abin da suka riga suka haɗiye ɗin, ko suke da rababben kofato, ba za ku ci raƙumi, zomo ko rema ba. Ko da yake suna sāke tona abin da suka riga suka haɗiye, suna kuma da rababben kofato, su ɗin marar tsarki ne gare ku.
But there are other animals that chew their cuds that you must not eat. Those are camels, rabbits, and rock badgers. They chew their cuds, but their hooves are not split. So they are not acceptable for you to eat.
8 Alade ma marar tsarki ne; ko da yake yana da rababben kofato, shi ba ya sāke tona abin da ya riga ya haɗiye. Ba za ku ci namansu ko ku taɓa gawarsu ba.
Do not eat pigs. They are unacceptable for you to eat; their hooves are split, but they do not chew cud. Do not eat the meat of those animals; do not even touch their dead bodies.
9 Cikin dukan halittun da suke cikin ruwa, za ku iya cin duk wani da yake da ƙege da ɓamɓaroki.
You are permitted to eat any fish that has scales and fins.
10 Amma duk wani abin da ba shi da ƙege da ɓamɓaroki, ba za ku ci ba; gama marar tsarki ne gare ku.
But anything else [that lives in the water] that does not have scales and fins, you must not eat, because [if you eat them], you will become unacceptable [to Yahweh].
11 Za ku iya cin kowane tsuntsu mai tsabta.
“You are permitted to eat the flesh of any bird that is acceptable [to Yahweh].

“Do not eat any animal that has died naturally, [because its blood has not been drained out]. You may allow foreigners who live among you to eat those things or you may sell them to other foreigners. But you belong to Yahweh our God; [and those who belong to him are not permitted to eat the meat of animals whose blood has not been drained out]. “You must not cook a young sheep or goat in its mother’s milk.”
22 Ku tabbata kun keɓe kashi ɗaya bisa goma na amfanin gonakinku kowace shekara.
“Once each year you must set apart (a tithe/10 percent) of all the crops that are produced/harvested in your fields.
23 Ku ci zakkar hatsinku, da na sabon ruwan inabinku, da na manku, da kuma na’ya’yan fari na garkunanku na shanu da na tumaki a gaban Ubangiji Allahnku, a wurin da ya zaɓa a matsayin mazauni don Sunansa, don ku koyi girmama Ubangiji Allahnku kullum.
Take those things to the place that Yahweh our God will choose [for you to worship him]. There eat the tithes of your grain, your wine, your [olive] oil, and the meat of the firstborn male animals of your cattle and your sheep. Do this in order that you may learn to always revere Yahweh, [the one who has blessed you by giving you these things].
24 Amma in wurin nan yana da nisa sosai, Ubangiji Allahnku kuma ya albarkace ku, ba za ku kuwa iya riƙe zakkarku ba (Saboda wurin da Ubangiji ya zaɓa yă sa Sunansa ya yi nisa sosai),
If the place that Yahweh has chosen [for you to worship him] is very far from your home, with the result that you are not able to take there the tithes [of your crops] with which Yahweh has blessed you, do this:
25 to, sai ku sayar da zakkar, ku tafi da kuɗin wurin da Ubangiji Allahnku ya zaɓa.
Sell [IDM] the tithes of your crops, wrap the money carefully [in a cloth], and take it with you to the place of worship that Yahweh has chosen.
26 Yi amfani da kuɗin ku saya duk abin da kuke so, ko shanu, ko tumaki, ko ruwan inabi, ko dai wani abin shan da ya yi tsami, ko kuwa duk abin da kuke so. Sai ku da gidanku, ku ci a can, a gaban Ubangiji Allahnku, ku kuma yi farin ciki.
There, [with that money], you may buy whatever you want to—beef or lamb or wine or fermented drinks. And there, in the presence of Yahweh, you and your families should eat [and drink] those things and be happy.
27 Kada dai ku manta da Lawiyawan da suke zama a biranenku, gama ba su da rabo, ko gādo na kansu.
But be sure to not neglect/forget [to help] the descendants of Levi who live in your towns, because they will not own any land.
28 A ƙarshen kowace shekara uku, ku kawo dukan zakkarku na amfanin gona na wannan shekara, ku ajiye su a cikin birane,
“At the end of every three years, bring a tithe of all your crops that have been produced/harvested in that year and store it in your towns.
29 saboda Lawiyawa (waɗanda ba su da rabo ko gādo na kansu) da baƙo, da marayu, da kuma gwauraye, waɗanda suke zama a biranenku, su zo su ci su ƙoshi, ta haka Ubangiji Allahnku zai albarkace ku cikin dukan ayyukan hannuwanku.
That food is for the descendants of Levi, because they do not have their own land, and for foreigners [who live among you], and for orphans and widows who live in your towns. They are permitted to come [to where the food is stored] and take what they need. Do that in order that Yahweh our God will bless you in everything that you do.”
