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.

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 Kowos ma lun LEUM GOD lowos. Inmasrlon mwet nukewa su muta fin faclu, El sulela tuh kowos in mwet lal sifacna.

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 “Nimet kang kutena ma su LEUM GOD El akkalemye mu tia nasnas.

Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

4 Kowos ku in kang kosro inge: cow, sheep, nani,

These are the beasts which ye may 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 chamois, and the gazelle, and the wild ox, and the antelope.

6 kutena kosro ma sengelik falkal ac el sifil kontini ma el kangla.

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 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 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 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 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 “Kowos ku in kang kutena kain in ik ma oasr enga ac unac kac,

This may ye eat of all that is in the waters: all that hath fins and scales may ye 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 whatsoever hath not fins and scales shall ye not eat; it is unclean unto you.

11 “Won nasnas nukewa kowos ku in kang.

Every clean bird may ye eat.

12 Tusruktu won kowos ac tia kang pa inge: eagle, vulture, osprey,

But these are they which ye shall not eat of them: The eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey,

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 ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, 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 his 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 winged insect is unclean unto you: it shall not be eaten.

20 Kowos ku in kang won srisrik nasnas nukewa saya.

All clean fowls may ye 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.

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 “Srela sie tafu singoul ke ma nukewa kowos kosrani ke kais sie yac.

Thou shalt truly tithe all the produce of thy seed, which the field bringeth 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 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 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 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 Kukakunla ma kowos kosrani, ac us mani kac nu ke acn in alu sac.

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 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 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 “Kowos in tia pilesru mwet Levi su wi kowos muta in acn suwos, mweyen wangin acn selos sifacna.

And the Levite, who is within thy gates, him shalt thou not forsake; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee.

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 shalt thou bring forth all the tithe of thy produce in the same year, and thou shalt lay it down within thy 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 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.
