Deuteronomii 14
1 Filii estote Domini Dei vestri: non vos incidetis, nec facietis calvitium super mortuo.
Be ye children of the Lord your God: you shall not cut yourselves, no, make any baldness 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.
Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God: and he chose thee to be his peculiar people of all nations that are upon the earth.
3 Ne comedatis quæ immunda sunt.
Eat not the things that are unclean.
4 Hoc est animal, quod comedere debetis, bovem, et ovem, et capram,
These are the beasts that you shall eat, the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,
5 cervum et capream, bubalum, tragelaphum, pygargum, orygem, camelopardalum.
The hart and the roe, the buffle, the chamois, the pygarg, the wild goat, the camelopardalus.
6 Omne animal quod in duas partes findit ungulam, et ruminat, comedetis.
Every beast that divideth the hoof in two parts, and cheweth the cud, you 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.
But of them that chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, you shall not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the cherogril: because they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, they shall be unclean to you.
8 Sus quoque quoniam dividat ungulam, et non ruminat, immunda erit. Carnibus eorum non vescemini, et cadavera non tangetis.
The swine also, because it divideth the hoof, but cheweth not the cud, shall be unclean, their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.
9 Hæc comedetis ex omnibus quæ morantur in aquis: Quæ habent pinnulas et squamas, comedite:
These shall you eat of all that abide in the waters: All that have fins and scales, you shall eat.
10 quæ absque pinnulis et squamis sunt, ne comedatis, quia immunda sunt.
Such as are without fins and scales, you shall not eat, because they are unclean.
11 Omnes aves mundas comedite.
All birds that are clean you shall eat.
12 Immundas ne comedatis: aquilam scilicet, et gryphem, et haliæetum,
The unclean eat not: to wit, the eagle, and the grype, and the osprey,
13 ixion, et vulturem ac milvum iuxta genus suum:
The ringtail, and the vulture, and the kite according to their kind:
14 et omne corvini generis,
And all of the raven’s kind:
15 et struthionem, ac noctuam, et larum, atque accipitrem iuxta genus suum:
And the ostrich, and the owl, and the larus, and the hawk according to its kind:
16 herodium ac cygnum, et ibin,
The heron, and the swan, and the stork,
17 ac mergulum, porphyrionem, et nycticoracem,
And the cormorant, the porphyrion, and the night crow,
18 onocrotalum, et charadrium, singula in genere suo: upupam quoque et vespertilionem.
The bittern, and the charadrion, every one in their kind: the hoop also and the bat.
19 Et omne quod reptat et pennulas habet, immundum erit, et non comedetur.
Every thing that creepeth, and hath little wings, shall be unclean, and shall not be eaten.
20 Omne quod mundum est, comedite.
All that is clean, you shall 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 hœdum in lacte matris suæ.
But whatsoever is dead of itself, eat not thereof. Give it to the stranger, that is within thy gates, to eat, or sell it to him: because thou art the holy people of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.
22 Decimam partem separabis de cunctis fructibus tuis qui nascuntur in terra per annos singulos,
Every year thou shalt set aside the tithes of all thy fruits that the earth bringeth forth,
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, that his name may be called upon therein, the tithe of thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, and the firstborn of thy herds and thy sheep: that thou mayst learn to fear the Lord thy God at all times.
24 Cum autem longior fuerit via, et locus quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, tibique benedixerit, nec potueris ad eum hæc cuncta portare,
But when the way and the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, are far off, and he hath blessed thee, and thou canst not carry all these things thither,
25 vendes omnia, et in pretium rediges, portabisque manu tua, et proficisceris ad locum, quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus:
Thou shalt sell them all, and turn them into money, and shalt carry it in thy hand, and shalt go to the place which the Lord 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 buy with the same money whatsoever pleaseth thee, either of the herds or of sheep, wine also and strong drink, and all that thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, and shalt feast, thou and thy house:
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, beware thou forsake him not, because he hath no other part in thy possession.
28 Anno tertio separabis aliam decimam ex omnibus quæ nascuntur tibi eo tempore: et repones intra ianuas tuas.
The third year thou shalt separate another tithe of all things that grow to thee at that time, 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 that hath no other part nor possession with thee, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come and shall eat and be filled: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands that thou shalt do.
