You are the children of the LORD your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
2 Nʼihi na onye dị nsọ ka ị bụ nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị. Ọ bụkwa gị ka Onyenwe anyị họọrọ site na ndị niile nọ nʼelu ụwa, ị bụ ihe oke ọnụahịa nye ya.
For you are a holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
3 Erila ihe ọbụla m kwuru na ọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ.
You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 Ndị a bụ anụmanụ unu ga-eri: ehi, atụrụ, na ewu,
These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5 na ele nta, na mgbada, na atụrụ ọhịa, na ewu ọhịa, ele ukwu, na anịgọ bi nʼelu ugwu.
the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the chamois.
6 Anụmanụ ọbụla ụkwụ ya wara njakpa, nke na-atagharị ọnụ ka unu ga-eri.
Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof split in two and chews the cud, amongst the animals, you may eat.
7 Ma otu ọ dị, nʼetiti anụ ndị ahụ na-atagharị nri maọbụ ndị ụkwụ ha wara njakpa, ndị a ka unu na-agaghị eri, ịnyịnya kamel, na ewi maọbụ ewi nkume, na anụ ndị ọzọ yiri ha, ọ bụ ezie na ha na-atagharị ọnụ, ma ha enweghị ụkwụ wara njakpa. Ha bụ ihe na-adịghị ọcha nye unu.
Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of those who have the hoof split: the camel, the hare, and the rabbit. Because they chew the cud but don’t part the hoof, they are unclean to 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.
The pig, because it has a split hoof but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses.
9 Nʼime ihe niile e kere eke, dị ndụ, biri na mmiri, unu nwere ike iri nke ọbụla nwere ntu na akpịrịkpa,
These you may eat of all that are in the waters: you may eat whatever has fins and scales.
10 ma ihe ọbụla nke na-enweghị ntu na akpịrịkpa, unu erila ha, nʼihi na ha rụrụ arụ.
You shall not eat whatever doesn’t have fins and scales. It is unclean to you.
11 Unu ga-eri nnụnụ ọbụla dị ọcha,
Of all clean birds you may eat.

19 Ụmụ ahụhụ niile na-efe efe rụrụ arụ nye unu, unu erila ha,
All winged creeping things are unclean to you. They shall not be eaten.

Of all clean birds you may eat.
21 Unu erila anụ ọbụla nwụrụ anwụ. Ma otu o si dị, onye ọbịa nʼetiti unu nwere ike rie ya. I nwere ike inye ya, maọbụ resi ya onye ahụ, ma erila ya, nʼihi na onye dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ka ị bụ. Esila nwa ewu maọbụ nwa atụrụ nʼime mmiri ara nne ya.
You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself. You may give it to the foreigner living amongst you who is within your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people to the LORD your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
22 Ị ghaghị inye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke mkpụrụ ubi gị afọ niile.
You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed, that which comes out of the field year by year.
23 Ị ga-erikwa mkpụrụ ndị a nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke gị, nʼebe ahụ ọ ga-ahọpụta ka ọ bụrụ ebe obibi ya, ị ga-anọ nʼebe ahụ rie otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke ọka gị, na mmanya vaịnị ọhụrụ gị, na mmanụ oliv gị, na nwa mbụ nke igwe ehi gị, na igwe ewu na atụrụ gị. Ihe e ji eme nke a bụ ka ị mụta ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ụbọchị ndụ gị niile.
You shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place which he chooses to cause his name to dwell, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
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),
If the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it because the place which the LORD your God shall choose to set his name there is too far from you, when the LORD your God blesses you,
25 mgbe ahụ, gbanwee otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nata ọlaọcha, were ọlaọcha ahụ jee nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị họpụtara.
then you shall turn it into money, bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose.
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.
You shall trade the money for whatever your soul desires: for cattle, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul asks of you. You shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your 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.
You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no portion nor inheritance with you.
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 every three years you shall bring all the tithe of your increase in the same year, and shall store it within your 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.
The Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, as well as the foreigner living amongst you, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
