Deuteronomy 14
1 “Kowos mwet lun LEUM GOD lowos. Ouinge ke pacl kowos asor ke mwet misa se, nimet sipik monuwos sifacna ku resaela motonsruwos, oana kutu mwet uh oru.
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 Kowos ma lun LEUM GOD lowos. Inmasrlon mwet nukewa su muta fin faclu, El sulela tuh kowos in mwet lal sifacna.
For you are an holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a peculiar people to himself, above all the nations that are on the earth.
3 “Nimet kang kutena ma su LEUM GOD El akkalemye mu tia nasnas.
You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 Kowos ku in kang kosro inge: cow, sheep, nani,
These are the beasts which you shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 deer, sheep inima, nani inima, ku antelope —
The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
6 kutena kosro ma sengelik falkal ac el sifil kontini ma el kangla.
And every beast that parts the hoof, and separates the cleft into two claws, and chews the cud among the beasts, that you shall eat.
7 Tusruktu kosro nukewa ma tia sengelik falka ac tia pac sifil kontini ma el kangla, kowos fah pangon tia nasnas nu suwos. Kowos fah tia kang camel, rabbit, ku badger, mweyen elos ne sifil kontini ma elos kangla, a tia sengelik falkalos.
Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean to you.
8 Nimet kang pig, mweyen tia nasnas. Pig uh sengelik falka, tusruktu elos tia sifil kontini ma elos kangla. Kowos in tia kang kutena sin kosro inge, ac tia pac pusral mano misa lalos.
And the swine, because it divides the hoof, yet chews not the cud, it is unclean to you: you shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.
9 “Kowos ku in kang kutena kain in ik ma oasr enga ac unac kac,
These you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall you eat:
10 tusruktu kutena ma moul in kof uh ma wangin enga ac unac kac, kowos fah tia kang. Ma inge tia nasnas nu suwos.
And whatever has not fins and scales you may not eat; it is unclean to you.
11 “Won nasnas nukewa kowos ku in kang.
Of all clean birds you shall eat.
12 Tusruktu won kowos ac tia kang pa inge: eagle, vulture, osprey,
But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
13 buzzard, kutena kain in kait,
And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
14 kutena kain in raven,
And every raven after his kind,
15 ostrich, hawk in fong, seagull, kutena kain in sik;
And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
16 owl srisrik, owl lulap, ac owl oasr koac kac,
The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
17 oayapa owl yen mwesis, crow, cormorant,
And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
18 stork, kutena kain in heron, hoopoe, ac fak.
And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
19 “Won srisrik nukewa ma oasr po sohksok la tia nasnas nu suwos ac kowos in tia kang.
And every creeping thing that flies is unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.
20 Kowos ku in kang won srisrik nasnas nukewa saya.
But of all clean fowls you may eat.
21 “Nimet kang kutena kosro ma muta nwe sifacna misa. Kowos ku in sang mwetsac su muta inmasrlowos in kang, ku kowos ku in kukakin nu sin kutu mwetsac saya. A funu kowos, kowos sie mutunfacl mutal nu sin LEUM GOD lowos. “Kowos in tia akmolye sheep fusr ku nani fusr ke sronin titi lun nina kial uh.
You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you shall give it to the stranger that is in your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to an alien: for you are an holy people to the LORD your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
22 “Srela sie tafu singoul ke ma nukewa kowos kosrani ke kais sie yac.
You shall truly tithe all the increase of your seed, that the field brings forth year by year.
23 Kowos in som nu ke acn se ma LEUM GOD lowos El sulela kowos in alu nu sel we. Kowos fah kang sie tafu singoul in wheat, wain, oil in olive, ac wounsien cow ac sheep nutuwos ye mutal we. Oru ouinge tuh kowos in luti in etu in akfulatye LEUM GOD lowos pacl nukewa.
And you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of your corn, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herds and of your flocks; that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
24 Acn in alu sac fin loessula nu lohm suwos pwanang upa kowos in us sie tafu singoul ke ma LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kowos kac, na pa inge ma kowos fah oru:
And if the way be too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from you, which the LORD your God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD your God has blessed you:
25 Kukakunla ma kowos kosrani, ac us mani kac nu ke acn in alu sac.
Then shall you turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose:
26 Orekmakunla nu ke kutena ma kowos lungse — ikwen cow, sheep fusr, wain, ku mwe nim ku. Na kowos ac sou lowos fah tukeni engan ac kang ma inge we, ye mutun LEUM GOD lowos.
And you shall bestow that money for whatever your soul lusts after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul desires: and you shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you, and your household,
27 “Kowos in tia pilesru mwet Levi su wi kowos muta in acn suwos, mweyen wangin acn selos sifacna.
And the Levite that is within your gates; you shall not forsake him; for he has no part nor inheritance with you.
28 Ke saflaiyen yac aktolu nukewa, use sie tafu singoul ke ma nukewa ma kowos kosrani, ac orani tuh in karinginyuk in siti suwos uh.
At the end of three years you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase the same year, and shall lay it up within your gates:
29 Mwe mongo inge ma nu sin mwet Levi ke sripen wangin acn selos, ac nu sin mwetsac, tulik mukaimtal, ac katinmas su muta in siti suwos uh. Elos in tuku ac eis ma nukewa elos enenu. Oru ma inge, ac LEUM GOD lowos fah akinsewowoye kowos ke ma nukewa kowos oru.
And the Levite, (because he has no part nor inheritance with you, ) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which 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.
