Deuteronomii 14
1 Filii estote Domini Dei vestri: non vos incidetis, nec facietis calvitium super mortuo:
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 quoniam populus sanctus es Domino Deo tuo, et te elegit ut sis ei in populum peculiarem de cunctis gentibus, quæ sunt super terram.
For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
3 Ne comedatis quæ immunda sunt.
Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
4 Hoc est animal quod comedere debetis: bovem, et ovem, et capram,
These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 cervum et capream, bubalum, tragelaphum, pygargum, orygem, camelopardalum.
The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
6 Omne animal, quod in duas partes findit ungulam, et ruminat, comedetis.
And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.
7 De his autem, quæ ruminant, et ungulam non findunt, comedere non debetis, ut camelum, leporem, chœrogryllum: hæc, quia ruminant et non dividunt ungulam, immunda erunt vobis.
Nevertheless these ye 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 unto you.
8 Sus quoque, quoniam dividat ungulam et non ruminat, immunda erit. Carnibus eorum non vescemini, et cadavera non tangetis.
And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.
9 Hæc comedetis ex omnibus quæ morantur in aquis: quæ habent pinnulas et squamas, comedite:
These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
10 quæ absque pinnulis et squamis sunt, ne comedatis, quia immunda sunt.
And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
11 Omnes aves mundas comedite.
Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
12 Immundas ne comedatis: aquilam scilicet, et gryphem, et haliæetum,
But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
13 ixion et vulturem ac milvum juxta genus suum:
And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
14 et omne corvini generis,
And every raven after his kind,
15 et struthionem, ac noctuam, et larum, atque accipitrem juxta genus suum:
And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
16 herodium ac cygnum, et ibin,
The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
17 ac mergulum, porphyrionem, et nycticoracem,
And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
18 onocrotalum, et charadrium, singula in genere suo: upupam quoque et vespertilionem.
And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
19 Et omne quod reptat et pennulas habet, immundum erit, et non comedetur.
And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
20 Omne quod mundum est, comedite.
But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
21 Quidquid autem morticinum est, ne vescamini ex eo. Peregrino, qui intra portas tuas est, da ut comedat, aut vende ei: quia tu populus sanctus Domini Dei tui es. Non coques hædum in lacte matris suæ.
Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
22 Decimam partem separabis de cunctis fructibus tuis qui nascuntur in terra per annos singulos,
Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
23 et comedes in conspectu Domini Dei tui in loco quem elegerit, ut in eo nomen illius invocetur, decimam frumenti tui, et vini, et olei, et primogenita de armentis et ovibus tuis: ut discas timere Dominum Deum tuum omni tempore.
And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.
24 Cum autem longior fuerit via, et locus quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, tibique benedixerit, nec potueris ad eum hæc cuncta portare,
And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee:
25 vendes omnia, et in pretium rediges, portabisque manu tua, et proficisceris ad locum quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus:
Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose:
26 et emes ex eadem pecunia quidquid tibi placuerit, sive ex armentis, sive ex ovibus, vinum quoque et siceram, et omne quod desiderat anima tua: et comedes coram Domino Deo tuo, et epulaberis tu et domus tua:
And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
27 et Levites qui intra portas tuas est, cave ne derelinquas eum, quia non habet aliam partem in possessione tua.
And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
28 Anno tertio separabis aliam decimam ex omnibus quæ nascuntur tibi eo tempore, et repones intra januas tuas.
At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
29 Venietque Levites qui aliam non habet partem nec possessionem tecum, et peregrinus ac pupillus et vidua, qui intra portas tuas sunt, et comedent et saturabuntur: ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in cunctis operibus manuum tuarum quæ feceris.
And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee, ) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
