Keessa Deebii 14
1 Isin ijoollee Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii ti. Nama duʼeef jettanii of hin murmurinaa yookaan rifeensa adda keessaniin oli jiru hin haaddatinaa;
You are sons of the LORD your God; do not cut yourselves or shave your foreheads on behalf of the dead,
2 ati Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif saba qulqulluudhaatii. Waaqayyo akka ati qabeenya isaa jaallatamaa taatuuf jedhee saboota lafa irra jiraatan hunda keessaa si filateera.
for you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.
3 Ati waan jibbisiisaa tokko illee hin nyaatin.
You must not eat any detestable thing.
4 Horiin isin nyaachuu dandeessan kanneenii dha; sangaa, hoolaa, reʼee,
These are the animals that you may eat: The ox, the sheep, the goat,
5 gadamsa, kuruphee, borofa, reʼee diidaa, waaliyaa, saalaa fi hoolaa tulluu.
the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
6 Horii kotteen isaa baqaqee iddoo lamatti gargar qoodame kan halala guuru nyaachuu ni dandeessu.
You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud.
7 Garuu warra halala guuran yookaan warra kottee baqaqaa qaban keessaa gaala, illeettii, yookaan osolee hin nyaatinaa; isaan kunneen halala guuran iyyuu waan kotteen isaanii duudaa taʼeef isaan akka seeraatti isiniif qulqulluu miti.
But of those that chew the cud or have a completely divided hoof, you are not to eat the following: the camel, the rabbit, or the rock badger. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof. They are unclean for you,
8 Booyyeenis qulqulluu miti; kotteen isaa baqaqaa taʼus booyyeen halala hin guuru. Isin foon isaanii hin nyaatinaa yookaan raqa isaanii hin tuqinaa.
as well as the pig; though it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. It is unclean for you. You must not eat its meat or touch its carcass.
9 Uumamawwan bishaan keessa jiraatan hunda keessaa warra qoochoo fi qola qaban kam iyyuu nyaachuu dandeessu.
Of all the creatures that live in the water, you may eat anything with fins and scales,
10 Garuu warra qoochoo fi qola hin qabne kam iyyuu hin nyaatinaa; isaan isiniif qulqulluu miti.
but you may not eat anything that does not have fins and scales; it is unclean for you.
11 Isin simbira qulqulluu kam iyyuu nyaachuu dandeessu.
You may eat any clean bird,
12 Isaan kanneen garuu hin nyaatinaa; isaanis risaa, rumicha, rumicha gurraacha,
but these you may not eat: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,
13 culullee, culullee gurraacha, culullee gosa garaa garaa,
the red kite, the falcon, any kind of kite,
14 arraagessa gosa garaa garaa,
any kind of raven,
15 guchii, urunguu, allaattii bishaanii, coroffee gosa garaa garaa,
the ostrich, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
16 urunguu xinnaa, urunguu guddaa, urunguu adii,
the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,
17 urunguu gammoojjii, abbaa koddaa, urunguu guddaa,
the desert owl, the osprey, the cormorant,
18 huummoo, allaattii gosa kamii iyyuu, haadha gaayyeetii fi simbira halkanii ti.
the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, or the bat.
19 Ilbiisonni barrisan hundinuu isiniif qulqulluu miti; isaan hin nyaatinaa.
All flying insects are unclean for you; they may not be eaten.
20 Uumamawwan qoochoo qaban kanneen qulqulluu taʼan kam iyyuu garuu nyaachuu dandeessu.
But you may eat any clean bird.
21 Waan ofii isaatiin duʼe tokko illee hin nyaatin. Akka inni nyaatuuf alagaa magaalaa kee keessa jiraatuuf kenni yookaan nama ormaa tokkotti gurguradhu. Ati garuu saba Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif qulqulleeffamtee dha. Ilmoo reʼee tokko aannan haadhaa isheetiin hin affeelin.
You are not to eat any carcass; you may give it to the foreigner residing within your gates, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people belonging to the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
22 Waan lafti qotiisaa kee waggaatti kennu hunda keessaa kudhan keessaa tokko kophaatti baasii kaaʼi.
You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the produce brought forth each year from your fields.
23 Akka Waaqayyo Waaqa kee sodaachuu barattuuf iddoo inni akka Maqaan isaa achi jiraatuuf filatutti midhaan kee, wayinii kee haaraa fi zayitii kee akkasumas hangafa loonii fi bushaayee kee fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti nyaadhu.
And you are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks, in the presence of the LORD your God at the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name, so that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
24 Garuu yoo iddoon sun akka malee fagaatee, atis Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiin eebbifamtee sababii iddoon Waaqayyo akka Maqaan isaa achi jiraatuuf filatu sun fagoo taʼeef kennaa kee kudhan keessaa tokko baachuu dadhabde,
But if the distance is too great for you to carry that with which the LORD your God has blessed you, because the place where the LORD your God will choose to put His Name is too far away,
25 kennaa kee kan kudhan keessaa tokko sana meetiitti geeddariitii, meetii sana qabadhuutii iddoo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee filatu dhaqi.
then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose.
26 Meetii sanaanis waanuma feete jechuunis, loon, hoolota, daadhii wayinii yookaan dhugaatii jabaa, yookaan waan barbaadde kam iyyuu biti. Ergasii atii fi warri mana keetii fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti nyaadhaa gammadaa.
Then you may spend the money on anything you desire: cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or anything you wish. You are to feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice with your household.
27 Lewwonni magaalaa kee keessa jiraatan qooda yookaan dhaala ofii isaanii waan hin qabneef ati isaan hin dagatin.
And do not neglect the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you.
28 Yeroo hunda dhuma waggaa sadaffaatti waan waggaa sana keessa galfatte kudhan keessaa tokko fuudhiitii magaalaawwan keessatti kuusi.
At the end of every three years, bring a tenth of all your produce for that year and lay it up within your gates.
29 Kunis akka Lewwonni qooda yookaan dhaala ofii isaanii hin qabne, alagoonni, ijoolleen abbaa hin qabnee fi niitonni dhirsoonni isaanii irraa duʼan warri magaalaawwan keessa jiraatan nyaatanii quufanii fi akka Waaqayyo Waaqni kee hojii harka keetii hundaan si eebbisuuf.
Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance among you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates may come and eat and be satisfied. And the LORD your God will bless you in all the work of your hands.
