Deotoronomia 14
1 Zanak’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo, koa aza mitetika ny tenanareo, na manaratra ny eo ambonin’ ny handrinareo noho ny amin’ ny maty.
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 Fa firenena masìna ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao ka voafidiny ho rakitra soa ho Azy mihoatra noho ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany.
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 Aza mihinana izay fahavetavetana.
You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 Izao no biby izay ho fihinanareo: Ny omby sy ny ondry sy ny osy
These are the beasts which you shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 sy ny diera, ny gazela, ny kapreola, ny osi-dia, ny pygarga, ny antilopa ary ny ropikapra:
The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
6 izay biby rehetra mivaky kitro, ka misaraka tsara ny kitrony sady mandinika, no ho fihinanareo.
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 Nefa amin’ izay mandinika na mivaky kitro dia izao ihany kosa no tsy ho fihinanareo: Ny rameva sy ny rà bitro ary ny hyraka, satria mandinika ihany izy, fa tsy mivaky kitro; maloto aminareo izy;
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 ary ny kisoa koa, satria mivaky kitro izy, fa tsy mandinika, maloto aminareo izy; ny henan ireny tsy ho fihinanareo, ary ny fatiny tsy hokasihinareo.
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 Ary amin’ izay rehetra ao anatin’ ny rano dia izao no ho fihinanareo: izay rehetra misy vombony sy kirany no ho fihinanareo;
These you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall you eat:
10 fa izay rehetra tsy misy vombony sy kirany kosa dia tsy ho fihinanareo; maloto aminareo izy.
And whatever has not fins and scales you may not eat; it is unclean to you.
11 Ny vorona madio rehetra no ho fihinanareo.
Of all clean birds you shall eat.
12 Nefa izao kosa no tsy ho fihinanareo: ny voltora sy ny gypa sy ny ankoay
But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
13 ary ny papango sy ny voromahery sy ny papango mainty, samy araka ny karazany, avy
And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
14 ary ny goaika rehetra, samy araka ny karazany avy,
And every raven after his kind,
15 ary ny ostritsa sy ny tararaka sy ny vorondriaka ary ny hitsikitsika, samy araka ny karazany avy,
And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
16 ary ny vorondolo sy ny vorondolo lehibe sy ny ibisa
The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
17 ary ny sama sy ny voltora madinika sy ny manarana
And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
18 ary ny vano sy ny vanobe, samy araka ny karazany avy, ary ny takidara sy ny manavy.
And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
19 Ary ny zava-mandady rehetra izay manana elatra dia haloto aminareo ka tsy ho fihinanareo.
And every creeping thing that flies is unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.
20 Ny zava-manana elatra izay madio no ho fihinanareo.
But of all clean fowls you may eat.
21 Aza homana izay maty ho azy, fa omeo ho an’ ny vahiny izay ao an-tanànanao izany mba hohaniny, na amidio amin’ ny olona hafa firenena; fa firenena masìna ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao. Aza mahandro zanak’ osy amin’ ny rononon-dreniny.
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 Aloavy tsara ny ampahafolon’ ny vokatra rehetra avy amin’ ny voa nafafinao, dia ny vokatra any an-tsaha isan-taona;
You shall truly tithe all the increase of your seed, that the field brings forth year by year.
23 dia aoka ho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao eo amin’ ny tany izany hofidiny hampitoerany ny anarany no hihinananao ny ampahafolon’ ny varinao sy ny ranom-boalobokao sy ny diloilonao ary ny voalohan-teraky ny ombinao sy ny ondry aman’ osinao, mba hianaranao hatahotra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao mandrakariva.
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 Fa raha lavitra loatra ny lalana halehanao ka tsy mahatondra izany zavatra izany ianao, satria lavitra anao loatra ny tany izay hofidin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao hampitoerany ny anarany, raha notahin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao,
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 dia hamidinao vola izany, ary hofonosinao ny vola ka ho entinao eo an-tananao hankany amin’ ny tany izay hofidin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao;
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 ary ny vola dia amidio izay rehetra tian’ ny fanahinao, na omby, na ondry, na osy, na divay, na toaka, na izay zavatra hafa tian’ ny fanahinao; ary aoka ho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao no hihinananao izany sy hifalianao mbamin’ ny ankohonanao;
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 ary ny Levita izay ao an-tanànanao dia aza foinao; fa tsy manana anjara na lova eo aminao izy.
And the Levite that is within your gates; you shall not forsake him; for he has no part nor inheritance with you.
28 Ary isan-telo taona dia alao ny ampahafolon’ ny vokatrao rehetra amin’ izany taona izany, ka ataovy ao an-tanànanao;
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 ary dia aoka ho avy ny Levita (satria tsy mba manana anjara na lova eo aminao izy) sy ny vahiny sy ny kamboty ary ny mpitondratena izay ao an-tanànanao, dia hihinana izy ka ho voky, mba hotahin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao amin’ ny asan-tananao rehetra izay ataonao.
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.
