Deteronòm 14
1 Seyè a, Bondye nou an, konsidere nou tankou pwòp pitit li. Lè nou gen moun mouri, piga nou kòche kò nou ak kouto, ni piga nou kale devan tèt nou.
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 Paske se yon pèp k'ap viv apa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an nou ye. Se nou menm Seyè a te chwazi nan mitan tout pèp sou latè pou nou te tounen yon pèp ki rele l' pa li.
For you are an holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a peculiar people to himself, above all the nations that are on the earth.
3 Piga nou manje anyen Seyè a deklare nou pa gen dwa manje.
You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 Men bèt nou gen dwa manje: se bèf, se ti mouton, se ti kabrit,
These are the beasts which you shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 se sèf, se kabrit mawon, se den, se boukten, se antilòp, se bèf mawon, se mouflon.
The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
6 Nou gen dwa manje vyann tout bèt ki gen zago fann an de depi yo remoute manje tou.
And every beast that parts the hoof, and separates the cleft into two claws, and chews the cud among the beasts, that you shall eat.
7 Men, nan bèt ki remoute manje yo, piga nou manje vyann bèt tankou chamo, lapen ak daman ki pa gen zago yo fann an de. Bèt konsa pa bon pou nou manje.
Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean to you.
8 Konsa tou, piga nou manje vyann kochon, paske atout li gen zago li yo fann an de, li pa remoute manje. Se yon bèt ki pa bon pou nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye pou nou manje. Piga nou janm manje vyann yo ni piga nou janm manyen kadav yo.
And the swine, because it divides the hoof, yet chews not the cud, it is unclean to you: you shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.
9 Nou gen dwa manje tout bèt lanmè depi yo gen zèl najwa pou naje ak kal sou kò yo.
These you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall you eat:
10 Men, piga nou manje ni sa ki pa gen zèl najwa, ni sa ki pa gen kal sou kò yo. Bèt konsa pa bon pou nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye pou nou manje.
And whatever has not fins and scales you may not eat; it is unclean to you.
11 Se pa tout zwazo moun k'ap sèvi Bondye gen dwa manje.
Of all clean birds you shall eat.
12 Men zwazo nou pa gen dwa manje: se lèg, lòfre, malfini lanmè,
But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
13 milan, otou, votou ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje kadav,
And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
14 tout kalite kaou,
And every raven after his kind,
15 otrich, janmichèt, poul dlo, malfini ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje vyann vivan,
And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
16 koukou, frize, gwo kanna mawon blan,
The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
17 grangozye, plonjon, chwèt,
And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
18 sigòy, krabye ak tout lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo, sèpantye ak tchotcho.
And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
19 Tout ti bèt ak zèl pa bon pou nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye. Piga nou manje yo.
And every creeping thing that flies is unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.
20 Men, nou gen dwa manje zwazo ki bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye.
But of all clean fowls you may eat.
21 Piga nou janm manje ankenn bèt nou jwenn tou mouri, paske nou menm se yon pèp k'ap viv apa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou ye. Men, nou ka pran vyann lan pou nou bay osinon pou nou vann moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou ou ankò ki depasaj lakay nou. Piga nou janm kwit yon jenn ti kabrit nan lèt manman l'.
You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you shall give it to the stranger that is in your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to an alien: for you are an holy people to the LORD your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
22 Chak lanne, n'a pran ladim rekòt nou, yon dizyèm nan tou sa jaden nou yo donnen, n'a mete l' apa.
You shall truly tithe all the increase of your seed, that the field brings forth year by year.
23 Apre sa, nou va ale kote Seyè a te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a. Epi la, devan Seyè a, n'a manje ladim farin nou, ladim diven nou ak ladim lwil oliv nou ansanm ak premye pitit bèf, premye pitit mouton ak premye pitit kabrit nou yo. Se konsa n'a aprann pou nou toujou gen krentif pou Seyè a.
And you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of your corn, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herds and of your flocks; that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
24 Men, si kote Seyè a chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a twò lwen lakay nou, kifè vwayaj la ap twòp pou nou, nou pa ka pote ladim rekòt Bondye ban nou pou benediksyon an,
And if the way be too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from you, which the LORD your God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD your God has blessed you:
25 lè sa a, n'a vann ladim lan, n'a kenbe lajan lavant lan nan men nou epi n'a ale kote Seyè a te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a.
Then shall you turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose:
26 Lè n'a rive, n'a achte ak lajan an sa nou pi pito: bèf, mouton, kabrit, diven, likè, wi tou sa nou pi renmen. Epi la, devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an n'a manje yo, n'a fè fèt ansanm ak tout moun lakay nou.
And you shall bestow that money for whatever your soul lusts after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul desires: and you shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you, and your household,
27 Pa bliye moun Levi k'ap viv nan lavil nou yo paske yo menm yo pa gen anyen ki rele yo pa yo.
And the Levite that is within your gates; you shall not forsake him; for he has no part nor inheritance with you.
28 Chak twazan, n'a pran ladim tout rekòt n'a fè nan lanne a, n'a mete yo nan pòtay lavil nou yo.
At the end of three years you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase the same year, and shall lay it up within your gates:
29 Moun Lèvi yo ki pa gen anyen ki rele yo pa yo va vini, y'a pran sa yo bezwen. Konsa tou, moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun ki pèdi papa yo, fanm vèv yo va vini, y'a pran sa yo bezwen. Se konsa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan tou sa n'ap fè.
And the Levite, (because he has no part nor inheritance with you, ) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which 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.
