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] sons of your God YHWH; you do not cut yourselves, nor make 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] a holy people to your God YHWH, and YHWH has fixed on you to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.

3 Aza mihinana izay fahavetavetana.

You do not eat any abomination;

4 Izao no biby izay ho fihinanareo: Ny omby sy ny ondry sy ny osy

this [is] the beast which you eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,

5 sy ny diera, ny gazela, ny kapreola, ny osi-dia, ny pygarga, ny antilopa ary ny ropikapra:

deer, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and ibex, and antelope, and zemer;

6 izay biby rehetra mivaky kitro, ka misaraka tsara ny kitrony sady mandinika, no ho fihinanareo.

and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.

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;

Only, this you do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the hyrax, for they are bringing up the cud, but the hoof has not divided—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 sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not [bringing] up the cud—it [is] unclean to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass.

9 Ary amin’ izay rehetra ao anatin’ ny rano dia izao no ho fihinanareo: izay rehetra misy vombony sy kirany no ho fihinanareo;

This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales you eat;

10 fa izay rehetra tsy misy vombony sy kirany kosa dia tsy ho fihinanareo; maloto aminareo izy.

and anything which does not have fins and scales you do not eat—it [is] unclean to you.

11 Ny vorona madio rehetra no ho fihinanareo.

Any clean bird you eat;

12 Nefa izao kosa no tsy ho fihinanareo: ny voltora sy ny gypa sy ny ankoay

and these [are] they of which you do not eat: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,

13 ary ny papango sy ny voromahery sy ny papango mainty, samy araka ny karazany, avy

and the kite, and the falcon, and the vulture after its kind,

14 ary ny goaika rehetra, samy araka ny karazany avy,

and every raven after its kind;

15 ary ny ostritsa sy ny tararaka sy ny vorondriaka ary ny hitsikitsika, samy araka ny karazany avy,

and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind;

16 ary ny vorondolo sy ny vorondolo lehibe sy ny ibisa

the little owl, and the great owl, and the waterhen,

17 ary ny sama sy ny voltora madinika sy ny manarana

and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture, 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 its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

19 Ary ny zava-mandady rehetra izay manana elatra dia haloto aminareo ka tsy ho fihinanareo.

And every teeming thing which is flying—it [is] unclean to you; they are not eaten;

20 Ny zava-manana elatra izay madio no ho fihinanareo.

any clean bird you 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 do not eat of any carcass; you give it to the sojourner who [is] within your gates, and he has eaten it; or sell [it] to a stranger; for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH. You do not boil a kid in its 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 certainly tithe all the increase of your seed which the field is bringing 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 have eaten before your God YHWH, in the place where He chooses to cause His Name to dwell, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herd, and of your flock, so that you learn to fear your God YHWH [for] all the days.

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 when the way is too much for you, that you are not able to carry it—when the place is too far off from you which your God YHWH chooses to put His Name there, when your God YHWH blesses 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 you have given [it] in money, and have bound up the money in your hand, and gone to the place on which your God YHWH fixes;

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 have given the money for anything which your soul desires, for oxen, and for sheep, and for wine, and for strong drink, and for anything which your soul asks for, and you have eaten before your God YHWH there, and you have rejoiced, you and your house.

27 ary ny Levita izay ao an-tanànanao dia aza foinao; fa tsy manana anjara na lova eo aminao izy.

As for the Levite who [is] within your gates, you do not forsake him, for he has no portion and 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 bring out all the tithe of your increase in that year, and have placed [it] 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 has come in—for he has no part and inheritance with you—and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within your gates, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your hand which you do.”
