UDutheronomi 14
1 “Lingabantwana bakaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Lingabozisika loba liphuce amakhanda enu lizilela abafileyo,
[are] children You of Yahweh God your not you will cut yourselves and not you will make baldness between eyes your to a dead [person].
2 ngoba lingabantu abangcwele kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Ebantwini bonke abasemhlabeni, uThixo ulikhethile lina ukuthi libe ngabantu bakhe abaligugu.
For [are] a people holy you to Yahweh God your and you he has chosen Yahweh to become for him a people of possession from all the peoples which [are] on [the] surface of the ground.
3 Lingadli loba kuyini okunengisayo.
Not you will eat any disgusting thing.
4 Nanzi izinyamazana elingazidla: inkomo, imvu, imbuzi,
This [is] the animal which you will eat an ox an animal of sheep and an animal of goats.
5 umziki, impala, umziki obomvu, imbuzi yeganga, imbuzi mawa, umtshwayeli lemvu yentaba.
A deer and a gazelle and a roe-deer and a wild goat and an ibex and an antelope and a mountain sheep.
6 Lingadla zonke izinyamazana ezilenklagu ezivulekileyo lezentshisayo.
And every animal [which] divides a hoof and [which] cleaves a cleft of two hooves [which] brings up cud among the animal[s] it you will eat.
7 Kodwa-ke kulezo ezilenklagu ezivulekileyo loba lezo ezentshisayo zilani lingadli ikamela, umvundla loba imbila. Zingcolile kini ngokomkhuba.
Nevertheless this not you will eat any of [those which] bring up the cud and [any] of those dividing the hoof cloven the camel and the hare and the rock badger that [is] bringing up cud they and a hoof not they divide [are] unclean they to you.
8 Ingulube layo ayihlanzekanga; lanxa ilenklagu ezivulekileyo kayentshisi. Lingabokudla inyama yazo, lingathinti lezidumbu zazo.
And the pig that [is] dividing a hoof it and not cud [is] unclean it to you any of meat their not you will eat and carcass their not you will touch.
9 Kuzozonke izidalwa ezihlala emanzini, lingadla zonke lezo ezilempiko lamaxolo.
This you will eat from all that [is] in the water all that [belongs] to it fin and scale you will eat.
10 Kodwa konke lokho okungelampiko lamaxolo akumelanga likudle; kungcolile kini.
And all that not [belongs] to it fin and scale not you will eat [is] unclean it to you.
11 Lingadla loba yiphi inyoni ehlanzekileyo.
Every bird clean you will eat.
12 Kodwa lezi lingazidli: ukhozi, ilinqe elimnyama,
And this [is that] which not you will eat any of them the eagle and the bearded vulture and the osprey.
13 uhelwane olubomvu, uhelwane olumnyama, loba yiwuphi umhlobo womzwazwa
And the red kite and the hawk and the black kite to kind its.
14 loba yiphi imihlobo yamawabayi,
And every raven to kind its.
15 isikhova esilesicholo, ingabuzane, idada lolwandle, loba wuphi umhlobo wokhozi,
And [the] daughter of the ostrich and the screech owl and the gull and the falcon to kind its.
16 umandukulo, isikhova esikhulu, isikhova esimhlophe,
The little owl and the great owl and the barn owl.
17 isikhova senkangala, ukhozi lwenhlanzi, itshayamanzi,
And the desert owl and the Egyptian vulture and the cormorant.
18 ingabuzane, lawuphi umhlobo welanda, imvenduna lomalulwane.
And the stork and the heron to kind its and the hoopoe and the bat.
19 Zonke izibungu eziphaphayo zingcolile kini; lingabozidla.
And every swarming thing of the insect [is] unclean it to you not they will be eaten.
20 Kodwa konke okulempiko okuhlanzekileyo kudleni.
Every insect clean you will eat.
21 Lingabokudla ingcuba. Lingakunika loba ngubani owezizweni ohlezi loba kukuliphi phakathi kwamadolobho enu, yena angakudla, ulakho njalo ukuthi angathengisela omunye laye owezizweni. Kodwa lina lingabantu abangcwele kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Lingapheki izinyane lembuzi ngochago lukanina.”
Not you will eat any carcass to the sojourner who [is] in gates your you will give it and he will eat it or you will sell it to a foreigner for [are] a people holy you to Yahweh God your not you will boil a kid in [the] milk of mother its.
22 “Wobani leqiniso ukuthi libeka eceleni lokhu okuyingxenye eyodwa yetshumi yesivuno somnyaka.
Fully you will tithe all [the] produce of seed your which comes out the field a year a year.
23 Dlanini okwetshumi kwamabele enu, iwayini elitsha lamafutha, kanye lamazibulo emihlambi yenkomo zenu lawezimvu emehlweni kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu endaweni azalikhethela yona ukuba ibe leBizo lakhe, ukuze lifunde ukumphakamisa uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngezikhathi zonke.
And you will eat before - Yahweh God your in the place where he will choose to cause to dwell name his there [the] tithe of grain your new wine your and fresh oil your and [the] firstborn of herd your and flock your so that you may learn to fear Yahweh God your all the days.
24 Kodwa nxa leyondawo ikhatshana kakhulu lina libusisiwe nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu njalo lingenelisi ukuthwala okwetshumi kwenu (ngenxa yokuthi lapho uThixo akhethe ukubeka khona iBizo lakhe kukhatshana kakhulu),
And if it will be [too] great for you the journey for not you will be able to carry it that it will be [too] far for you the place where he will choose Yahweh God your to put name his there for he will bless you Yahweh God your.
25 thengisani okwetshumi kwenu ngesiliva, libe selithatha lihambe lesiliva liye endaweni leyo ezabe ikhethwe nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
And you will exchange [it] for money and you will secure the money in hand your and you will go to the place which he will choose Yahweh God your it.
26 Sebenzisani isiliva lithenge ngaso loba yini elifuna ukuyithenga: inkomo, izimvu, iwayini loba kuyini elikufunayo. Ngakho lina kanye labendlu yenu lizakudla khonapho phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu njalo libe lokujabula.
And you will exchange the money for all that it will desire appetite your for cattle and for sheep and for wine and for strong drink and for all that it will ask you appetite your and you will eat there before Yahweh God your and you will rejoice you and household your.
27 Njalo lingakhohlwa abaLevi abahlala emadolobheni enu, ngoba abalaso isabelo esingesabo njalo abaphiwanga ilifa.
And the Levite who [is] in gates your not you will neglect him for not [belongs] to him a portion and an inheritance with you.
28 Ekupheleni kweminyaka emithathu, lethani okwetshumi kwesivuno salowomnyaka likugcine emadolobheni enu,
From [the] end of - three years you will bring out all [the] tithe of produce your in the year that and you will deposit [it] in gates your.
29 yikho kuzakuthi abaLevi (bona abangelasabelo loba ilifa elingelabo) kanye labezizweni, izintandane ezingelaboyise labafelokazi abahlala emadolobheni enu beze labo bazokudla basuthe, njalo kuze kuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alibusise kuyo yonke imisebenzi yezandla zenu.”
And he will come the Levite for not [belongs] to him a portion and an inheritance with you and the sojourner and the fatherless one and the widow who [are] in gates your and they will eat and they will be satisfied so that he may bless you Yahweh God your in all [the] work of hand your which you will do.
