Ye are the children of the Lord your God. Ye shall not cut yourselues, nor make you any baldnesse betweene your eyes for the dead.

For thou art an holy people vnto ye Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a precious people vnto himselfe, aboue all the people that are vpon the earth.

3 Erila ihe ọbụla m kwuru na ọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ.

But these ye shall not eate, of them that chew the cud, and of them that deuide and cleaue the hoofe onely: ye camell, nor the hare, nor the cony: for they chewe the cudde, but deuide not ye hoofe: therefore they shall be vncleane vnto you:

8 Ezi bụkwa anụ na-adịghị ọcha; ọ bụ ezie na o nwere ụkwụ wara njakpa, ma ọ dịghị atagharị nri. Unu agaghị emetụla ozu ha aka maọbụ rie anụ ha.

Also the swine, because he deuideth the hoofe, and cheweth not the cud, shalbe vncleane vnto you: ye shall not eate of their flesh, nor touch their dead carkeises.

Ye shall eate of nothing that dieth alone, but thou shalt giue it vnto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eate it: or thou maiest sell it vnto a stranger: for thou art an holy people vnto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mothers milke.

22 Ị ghaghị inye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke mkpụrụ ubi gị afọ niile.

Thou shalt giue the tithe of all the increase of thy seede, that commeth foorth of the fielde yeere by yeere.

Ihe e ji eme nke a bụ ka ị mụta ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ụbọchị ndụ gị niile.

And thou shalt eate before the Lord thy God (in the place which he shall chose to cause his Name to dwell there) the tithe of thy corne, of thy wine, and of thine oyle, and the first borne of thy kine and of thy sheepe, that thou maiest learne to feare the Lord thy God alway.

24 Ọ bụrụ na ebe Onyenwe anyị họpụtara dị anya, ọ bụrụkwa na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị agọziela gị ruo na ị pụghị ibu otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri gị gaa nʼebe ahụ (nʼihi na ebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị họpụtara dị anya),

And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to cary it, because the place is farre from thee, where the Lord thy God shall chose to set his Name, when the Lord thy God shall blesse thee,

25 mgbe ahụ, gbanwee otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nata ọlaọcha, were ọlaọcha ahụ jee nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị họpụtara.

Then shalt thou make it in money, and take the money in thine hand, and goe vnto the place which the Lord thy God shall chose.

26 Were ọlaọcha ahụ zụọ ihe ọbụla ị chọrọ: ehi, na atụrụ, na mmanya, maọbụ mmanya siri ike na-aba nʼanya maọbụ ihe ọbụla ọzọ nke ị chọrọ. Mgbe ahụ, gị na ezinaụlọ gị ga-eri nri nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, ṅụrịakwa ọṅụ.

And thou shalt bestowe the money for whatsoeuer thine heart desireth: whether it be oxe, or sheepe, or wine, or strong drinke, or whatsoeuer thine heart desireth: and shalt eate it there before the Lord thy God, and reioyce, both thou, and thine household.

27 Echefukwala ime ka ndị Livayị soro gị rie ihe ị kpatara, nʼihi na ha enweghị ihe nketa ọbụla, maọbụ ihe ubi dịka gị.

And the Leuite that is within thy gates, shalt thou not forsake: for he hath neither part nor inheritance with thee.

28 Nʼọgwụgwụ afọ atọ ọbụla, ị ga-eweta otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke ihe ubi gị, chịkọta ha nʼebe a ga-echebe ha nʼobodo gị,

At the end of three yeere thou shalt bring foorth all the tithes of thine increase of the same yeere, and lay it vp within thy gates.

29 ka ndị Livayị, ndị na-enweghị ihe nketa nʼetiti gị, na ndị ọbịa, na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ anwụ, na ụmụ mgbei niile nọ nʼobodo gị, bịa nʼebe ahụ were nri ha ga-eri, rijuokwa afọ. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-agọzi gị, gọziekwa ọrụ aka gị niile.

Then ye Leuite shall come, because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherlesse, and the widowe, which are within thy gates, and shall eate, and be filled, that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in al the worke of thine hand which thou doest.
