Torati 14
1 Ninyi ni watoto wa Bwana Mungu wenu. Msijichanje ama kujinyoa upara kwenye paji la uso kwa ajili ya aliyekufa,
[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 kwa maana ninyi ni taifa takatifu kwa Bwana Mungu wenu. Bwana amewachagua ninyi kuwa taifa la kipekee kutoka mataifa yote juu ya uso wa dunia, mwe tunu yake.
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 Msile kitu chochote ambacho ni machukizo.
Not you will eat any disgusting thing.
4 Hawa ndio wanyama mtakaokula: ngʼombe, kondoo, mbuzi,
This [is] the animal which you will eat an ox an animal of sheep and an animal of goats.
5 kulungu, paa, kongoni, paa mweupe, mbuzi-mwitu, pofu na kondoo wa mlimani.
A deer and a gazelle and a roe-deer and a wild goat and an ibex and an antelope and a mountain sheep.
6 Mnaweza kumla mnyama yeyote mwenye kwato zilizogawanyika mara mbili, pia yule anayecheua.
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 Hata hivyo, miongoni mwa wale wanaocheua au wale walio na kwato zilizogawanyika kamwe msile ngamia, sungura na pelele. Iwapo wanacheua, lakini hawana kwato zilizogawanyika; ni najisi kwenu kwa taratibu za kiibada.
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 Nguruwe pia ni najisi; ingawa ana kwato zilizogawanyika, hacheui. Msile nyama yake wala kugusa mzoga wake.
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 Katika viumbe hai vyote viishivyo kwenye maji, mnaweza kula yeyote aliye na mapezi na magamba.
This you will eat from all that [is] in the water all that [belongs] to it fin and scale you will eat.
10 Lakini chochote kisicho na mapezi na magamba msile; kwenu ni najisi.
And all that not [belongs] to it fin and scale not you will eat [is] unclean it to you.
11 Mnaweza kula ndege yeyote aliye safi.
Every bird clean you will eat.
12 Lakini wafuatao msiwale: tai, furukombe, kipungu,
And this [is that] which not you will eat any of them the eagle and the bearded vulture and the osprey.
13 kengewa mwekundu, kengewa mweusi, mwewe wa aina yoyote,
And the red kite and the hawk and the black kite to kind its.
14 kunguru wa aina yoyote,
And every raven to kind its.
15 mbuni, kiruka-njia, dudumizi, kipanga wa aina yoyote,
And [the] daughter of the ostrich and the screech owl and the gull and the falcon to kind its.
16 bundi, mumbi, bundi mkubwa,
The little owl and the great owl and the barn owl.
17 mwari, nderi, mnandi,
And the desert owl and the Egyptian vulture and the cormorant.
18 korongo, koikoi wa aina yoyote, hudihudi na popo.
And the stork and the heron to kind its and the hoopoe and the bat.
19 Wadudu wote warukao kwa makundi ni najisi kwenu, msiwale.
And every swarming thing of the insect [is] unclean it to you not they will be eaten.
20 Lakini viumbe vyote vyenye mabawa vilivyo safi mwaweza kula.
Every insect clean you will eat.
21 Msile kitu chochote mtakachokuta kimekufa. Mnaweza kumpa mgeni yeyote anayeishi katika mojawapo ya miji yenu, naye anaweza kula au mnaweza kumuuzia mtu wa nchi nyingine. Lakini ninyi ni watu watakatifu kwa Bwana Mungu wenu. Msitokose mwana-mbuzi katika maziwa ya mama yake.
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 Hakikisheni mmetenga sehemu ya kumi ya mazao yote ya mashamba yenu kila mwaka.
Fully you will tithe all [the] produce of seed your which comes out the field a year a year.
23 Mtakula zaka za nafaka yenu, divai mpya, mafuta na wazaliwa wa kwanza wa makundi yenu ya ngʼombe na ya kondoo na mbuzi mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu pale mahali atakapopachagua kama maskani kwa ajili ya Jina lake, ili kwamba mpate kujifunza kumheshimu Bwana Mungu wenu daima.
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 Lakini ikiwa mahali pale ni mbali sana nanyi mmebarikiwa na Bwana Mungu wenu na hamwezi kubeba zaka yenu (kwa sababu mahali pale Bwana atakapopachagua kuliweka Jina lake ni mbali sana),
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 basi badilisheni zaka yenu kuwa fedha, mkaichukue hiyo fedha mwende nayo mahali Bwana Mungu wenu atakapopachagua.
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 Tumieni hiyo fedha kununua chochote ukitakacho: ngʼombe, kondoo, divai au kinywaji chochote chenye chachu au chochote mnachotaka. Kisha ninyi na wa nyumbani mwenu mtaila mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu na kufurahi.
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 Msiache kuwajali Walawi waishio katika miji yenu, kwa kuwa hao hawana shamba wala urithi wao wenyewe.
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 Mwishoni mwa kila mwaka wa tatu, leteni zaka zote za mazao ya miaka ile na uyahifadhi kwenye miji yenu,
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 ili Walawi (ambao hawana mashamba wala urithi wao wenyewe) na wageni, yatima na wajane wanaoishi kwenye miji yenu wapate kuja kula na kushiba, ili Bwana Mungu wenu apate kuwabariki ninyi katika kazi zote za mikono yenu.
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.
