Deuteronomy 14
1 Ọmọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ni ẹ̀yin jẹ́: nítorí náà, ẹ má ṣe ya ara yín ní abẹ. Ẹ má ṣe gé irun iwájú orí yín nítorí òkú.
“Be sons of the Lord your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make yourselves bald, because of the dead.
2 Nítorí pé ènìyàn mímọ́ ní ẹ jẹ́ fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, nínú gbogbo ènìyàn tí ó wà lórí ilẹ̀ ayé, Ọlọ́run ti yàn yín láti jẹ́ ìṣúra iyebíye rẹ̀.
For you are a holy people, for the Lord your God. And he chose you, so that you may be a people particularly his, out of all the nations on earth.
3 Ẹ má ṣe jẹ ohun ìríra kankan.
You shall not eat the things that are unclean.
4 Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ẹranko tí ẹ lè máa jẹ: màlúù, àgùntàn àti ewúrẹ́,
These are the animals which you ought to eat: the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,
5 àgbọ̀nrín, èsúró, etu, àgóró, ẹfọ̀n, ìgalà àti àgùntàn igbó.
the stag and the roe deer, the gazelle, the wild goat, the addax, the antelope, the giraffe.
6 Ẹ lè jẹ gbogbo ẹranko tí pátákò ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ kì í ṣe méjì tí ó sì tún jẹ àpọ̀jẹ.
Every beast which has a hoof divided into two parts and which also chews the cud, you shall eat.
7 Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ nínú gbogbo ẹran tí ń jẹ àpọ̀jẹ tí ó sì tún ya pátákò ẹsẹ̀ tí ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ni: ìbákasẹ, ehoro, àti ẹranko tí ó dàbí ehoro tí ń gbé inú àpáta. Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé wọ́n jẹ àpọ̀jẹ, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò la pátákò ẹsẹ̀, a kà wọ́n sí àìmọ́ fún yín.
But those which chew over again, but do not have a divided hoof, you must not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the hyrax. Since these chew the cud, but do not have a divided the hoof, they shall be unclean to you.
8 Ẹlẹ́dẹ̀ jẹ́ àìmọ́; bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ó ya pátákò ẹsẹ̀, kì í jẹ àpọ̀jẹ, ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹran rẹ̀, ẹ kò sì gbọdọ̀ fọwọ́ kan òkú rẹ̀.
The pig also, since it has a divided hoof, but does not chew over again, shall be unclean. Their flesh shall not be eaten, and you shall not touch their carcasses.
9 Nínú gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè tí ń gbé inú omi, ẹ lè jẹ èyíkéyìí tí ó ní lẹbẹ àti ìpẹ́.
These you shall eat out of all that dwells in the waters: whatever has fins and scales, you shall eat.
10 Ṣùgbọ́n èyíkéyìí tí kò bá ní lẹbẹ àti ìpẹ́, ẹ má ṣe jẹ ẹ́, nítorí pé àìmọ́ ni wọ́n jẹ́ fún yín.
Whatever is without fins and scales, you shall not eat, for these are unclean.
11 Ẹ lè jẹ ẹyẹ tí ó bá mọ́.
All the clean birds, you shall eat.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ̀nyí ní ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ: idì, igún, àkàlà,
You shall not eat those that are unclean: such as the eagle, and the griffin, and the osprey,
13 onírúurú àṣá àti àṣá alátagbà,
the crane, and the vulture, and the kite, according to their kind,
14 onírúurú ẹyẹ ìwò,
and any kind of raven,
15 ògòǹgò, òwìwí, pẹ́pẹ́yẹdò àti onírúurú àwòdì,
and the ostrich, and the owl, and the gull, and the hawk, according to their kind,
16 onírúurú òwìwí,
the heron, and the swan, and the ibis,
17 òwìwí ọ̀dàn, àkàlà, ìgò,
and the sea bird, the marsh hen, and the night raven,
18 àkọ̀, òòdẹ̀, onírúurú ẹyẹ odò mìíràn, atọ́ka àti àdán.
the pelican and the plover, each in their kind, likewise the crested hoopoe and the bat.
19 Àti gbogbo kòkòrò tí ń fò tí wọ́n ń kọ́wọ̀ọ́ rìn jẹ́ aláìmọ́ fun un yín, ẹ má ṣe jẹ wọ́n.
And anything which crawls and also has little wings shall be unclean, and shall not be eaten.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ lè jẹ èyíkéyìí ẹ̀dá abìyẹ́ tí ó bá mọ́.
All that is clean, you shall eat.
21 Ẹ má ṣe jẹ ohun tí ó ti kú sílẹ̀. Ẹ lè fún àwọn àjèjì tí ń gbé ní èyíkéyìí nínú ìlú yín. Òun lè jẹ ẹ́ tàbí kí ẹ tà á fún àwọn àjèjì. Ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn mímọ́ fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ni ẹ̀yin jẹ́. Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe ewúrẹ́ nínú wàrà ìyá rẹ̀.
But whatever has died of itself, you shall not eat from it. Give it to the sojourner, who is within your gates, so that he may eat, or sell it to him. For you are the holy people of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in the milk of his mother.
22 Ẹ rí i dájú pé ẹ̀ ń fi ìdákan nínú mẹ́wàá nínú ìre oko yín lọ́dọọdún pamọ́ sí apá kan.
Each year, you shall separate the tithes out of all your crops which spring forth from the earth.
23 Ẹ jẹ ìdámẹ́wàá oúnjẹ yín, wáìnì tuntun, òróró, àti àkọ́bí àwọn màlúù yín àti ewúrẹ́ ẹ yín, níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, ní ibi tí yóò yàn bí ibùgbé orúkọ rẹ̀. Kí ẹ lè kọ́ bí a ṣé ń bu ọlá fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín nígbà gbogbo.
And you shall eat these in the sight of the Lord your God, in the place which he will choose, so that his name may be invoked there: the tenth part of your grain and wine and oil, and the firstborn from the herds and your sheep. So may you learn to fear the Lord your God at all times.
24 Bí ibẹ̀ bá jì tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ sì ti bùkún fún ọ, tí o kò sì le ru àwọn ìdámẹ́wàá rẹ (nítorí pé ibi tí Olúwa yóò yàn láti fi orúkọ rẹ̀ sí jìnnà jù).
But when the way and the place which the Lord your God will have chosen is further away, and he will have blessed you, so that you are not able to carry all these things to it,
25 Ẹ pààrọ̀ àwọn ìdámẹ́wàá yín sí owó, ẹ mú owó náà lọ sí ibi tí Olúwa yóò yàn.
you shall sell them all, so as to turn them into money, and you shall carry it in your hand, and you shall set out for the place which the Lord will choose.
26 Fi owó náà ra ohunkóhun tí o bá fẹ́, màlúù, àgùntàn, wáìnì, tàbí ọtí líle, tàbí ohunkóhun tí o bá fẹ́. Kí ìwọ àti ìdílé rẹ sì jẹ ẹ́ níwájú Olúwa níbẹ̀ kí ẹ sì máa yọ̀.
And you shall buy with the same money whatever pleases you, either from the herds or from the sheep, and also wine and liquor, and all that your soul desires. And you shall eat in the sight of the Lord your God, and you shall feast: you and your household.
27 Ẹ má ṣe gbàgbé àwọn Lefi tí ó ń gbé nì ìlú yín, nítorí pé wọn kò ní ìpín kan tàbí ogún kan tí í ṣe tiwọn.
As for the Levite, who is within your gates, take care that you do not abandon him, for he has no other portion within your possession.
28 Ní òpin ọdún mẹ́ta mẹ́ta, ẹ̀yin yóò mú gbogbo ìdámẹ́wàá ìre oko àwọn ọdún náà, kí ẹ kó wọn jọ ní ìlú yín.
In the third year, you shall separate another tenth part of all the things which spring forth for you at that time, and you shall store it within your gates.
29 Kí àwọn Lefi (tí kò ní ìpín tàbí ogún tiwọn) àti àwọn àjèjì, àwọn aláìní baba, àti àwọn opó tí ń gbé ìlú yín lè wá, kí wọn sì jẹ kí wọn sì yó, kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ le è bùkún fún ọ, nínú gbogbo iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ.
And the Levite, who has no other portion or possession with you, and the sojourner as well as the orphan and the widow who are within your gates, shall approach and eat and be satisfied, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands which you shall do.”
