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.
You are the children of the LORD your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for 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 to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
3 Ẹ má ṣe jẹ ohun ìríra kankan.
You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ẹranko tí ẹ lè máa jẹ: màlúù, àgùntàn àti ewúrẹ́,
These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5 àgbọ̀nrín, èsúró, etu, àgóró, ẹfọ̀n, ìgalà àti àgùntàn igbó.
the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the chamois.
6 Ẹ lè jẹ gbogbo ẹranko tí pátákò ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ kì í ṣe méjì tí ó sì tún jẹ àpọ̀jẹ.
Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof split in two and chews the cud, amongst the animals, you may 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.
Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of those who have the hoof split: the camel, the hare, and the rabbit. Because they chew the cud but don’t part the hoof, they are 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, because it has a split hoof but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat their meat. 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 may eat of all that are in the waters: you may eat whatever has fins and scales.
10 Ṣùgbọ́n èyíkéyìí tí kò bá ní lẹbẹ àti ìpẹ́, ẹ má ṣe jẹ ẹ́, nítorí pé àìmọ́ ni wọ́n jẹ́ fún yín.
You shall not eat whatever doesn’t have fins and scales. It is unclean to you.
11 Ẹ lè jẹ ẹyẹ tí ó bá mọ́.
Of all clean birds you may eat.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ̀nyí ní ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ: idì, igún, àkàlà,
But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the osprey,
13 onírúurú àṣá àti àṣá alátagbà,
the red kite, the falcon, the kite of any kind,
14 onírúurú ẹyẹ ìwò,
every raven of any kind,
15 ògòǹgò, òwìwí, pẹ́pẹ́yẹdò àti onírúurú àwòdì,
the ostrich, the owl, the seagull, the hawk of any kind,

the stork, the heron after its kind, the 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.
All winged creeping things are unclean to you. They shall not be eaten.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ lè jẹ èyíkéyìí ẹ̀dá abìyẹ́ tí ó bá mọ́.
Of all clean birds you may 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.
You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself. You may give it to the foreigner living amongst you who is within your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people to the LORD your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
22 Ẹ rí i dájú pé ẹ̀ ń fi ìdákan nínú mẹ́wàá nínú ìre oko yín lọ́dọọdún pamọ́ sí apá kan.
You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed, that which comes out of the field year by year.
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.
You shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place which he chooses to cause his name to dwell, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
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).
If the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it because the place which the LORD your God shall choose to set his name there is too far from you, when the LORD your God blesses you,
25 Ẹ pààrọ̀ àwọn ìdámẹ́wàá yín sí owó, ẹ mú owó náà lọ sí ibi tí Olúwa yóò yàn.
then you shall turn it into money, bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall 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.
You shall trade the money for whatever your soul desires: for cattle, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul asks of you. You shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, 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.
You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no portion nor inheritance with you.
28 Ní òpin ọdún mẹ́ta mẹ́ta, ẹ̀yin yóò mú gbogbo ìdámẹ́wàá ìre oko àwọn ọdún náà, kí ẹ kó wọn jọ ní ìlú yín.
At the end of every three years you shall bring all the tithe of your increase in the same year, and 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.
The Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, as well as the foreigner living amongst you, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
