Diuteronomi 14

1 Unu onwe unu bụ ụmụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, ya mere unu egbula onwe unu mma, maọbụ kpụchapụ agịrị isi dị nso nso egedege ihu unu nʼihi onye nwụrụ anwụ.

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 Nʼihi na onye dị nsọ ka ị bụ nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị. Ọ bụkwa gị ka Onyenwe anyị họọrọ site na ndị niile nọ nʼelu ụwa, ị bụ ihe oke ọnụahịa nye ya.

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 Erila ihe ọbụla m kwuru na ọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ.

You shall not eat any abominable thing.

4 Ndị a bụ anụmanụ unu ga-eri: ehi, atụrụ, na ewu,

These are the beasts which you shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

5 na ele nta, na mgbada, na atụrụ ọhịa, na ewu ọhịa, ele ukwu, na anịgọ bi nʼelu ugwu.

The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.

6 Anụmanụ ọbụla ụkwụ ya wara njakpa, nke na-atagharị ọnụ ka unu ga-eri.

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 Ma otu ọ dị, nʼetiti anụ ndị ahụ na-atagharị nri maọbụ ndị ụkwụ ha wara njakpa, ndị a ka unu na-agaghị eri, ịnyịnya kamel, na ewi maọbụ ewi nkume, na anụ ndị ọzọ yiri ha, ọ bụ ezie na ha na-atagharị ọnụ, ma ha enweghị ụkwụ wara njakpa. Ha bụ ihe na-adịghị ọcha nye unu.

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 Ezi bụkwa anụ na-adịghị ọcha; ọ bụ ezie na o nwere ụkwụ wara njakpa, ma ọ dịghị atagharị nri. Unu agaghị emetụla ozu ha aka maọbụ rie anụ ha.

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 Nʼime ihe niile e kere eke, dị ndụ, biri na mmiri, unu nwere ike iri nke ọbụla nwere ntu na akpịrịkpa,

These you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall you eat:

10 ma ihe ọbụla nke na-enweghị ntu na akpịrịkpa, unu erila ha, nʼihi na ha rụrụ arụ.

And whatever has not fins and scales you may not eat; it is unclean to you.

11 Unu ga-eri nnụnụ ọbụla dị ọcha,

Of all clean birds you shall eat.

12 ma unu agaghị eri ndị a: ugo, na udele, na udele ojii,

But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

13 na ndagbụ, na ọgankwọ, na ndagbụ dị iche iche,

And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,

14 na ugolọma ọbụla dị iche iche,

And every raven after his kind,

15 na enyi nnụnụ, na egbe abalị, na nnụnụ oke osimiri, na egbe dị iche iche,

And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

16 na okwukwu nta, na okwukwu ukwu, na okwukwu nwere mpi,

The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,

17 na okwolo na udele, na komorant,

And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,

18 na ụgbala, na utù dị iche iche, na nnụnụ ọdụ nta, na ụsụ.

And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

19 Ụmụ ahụhụ niile na-efe efe rụrụ arụ nye unu, unu erila ha,

And every creeping thing that flies is unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.

20 Ma unu nwere ike iri ụmụ ahụhụ ndị ahụ nwere nku, ndị dị ọcha.

But of all clean fowls you may eat.

21 Unu erila anụ ọbụla nwụrụ anwụ. Ma otu o si dị, onye ọbịa nʼetiti unu nwere ike rie ya. I nwere ike inye ya, maọbụ resi ya onye ahụ, ma erila ya, nʼihi na onye dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ka ị bụ. Esila nwa ewu maọbụ nwa atụrụ nʼime mmiri ara nne ya.

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 Ị ghaghị inye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke mkpụrụ ubi gị afọ niile.

You shall truly tithe all the increase of your seed, that the field brings forth year by year.

23 Ị ga-erikwa mkpụrụ ndị a nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke gị, nʼebe ahụ ọ ga-ahọpụta ka ọ bụrụ ebe obibi ya, ị ga-anọ nʼebe ahụ rie otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke ọka gị, na mmanya vaịnị ọhụrụ gị, na mmanụ oliv gị, na nwa mbụ nke igwe ehi gị, na igwe ewu na atụrụ gị. Ihe e ji eme nke a bụ ka ị mụta ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ụbọchị ndụ gị niile.

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 Ọ bụrụ na ebe Onyenwe anyị họpụtara dị anya, ọ bụrụkwa na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị agọziela gị ruo na ị pụghị ibu otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri gị gaa nʼebe ahụ (nʼihi na ebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị họpụtara dị anya),

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 mgbe ahụ, gbanwee otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nata ọlaọcha, were ọlaọcha ahụ jee nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị họpụtara.

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 Were ọlaọcha ahụ zụọ ihe ọbụla ị chọrọ: ehi, na atụrụ, na mmanya, maọbụ mmanya siri ike na-aba nʼanya maọbụ ihe ọbụla ọzọ nke ị chọrọ. Mgbe ahụ, gị na ezinaụlọ gị ga-eri nri nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, ṅụrịakwa ọṅụ.

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 Echefukwala ime ka ndị Livayị soro gị rie ihe ị kpatara, nʼihi na ha enweghị ihe nketa ọbụla, maọbụ ihe ubi dịka gị.

And the Levite that is within your gates; you shall not forsake him; for he has no part nor inheritance with you.

28 Nʼọgwụgwụ afọ atọ ọbụla, ị ga-eweta otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke ihe ubi gị, chịkọta ha nʼebe a ga-echebe ha nʼobodo gị,

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 ka ndị Livayị, ndị na-enweghị ihe nketa nʼetiti gị, na ndị ọbịa, na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ anwụ, na ụmụ mgbei niile nọ nʼobodo gị, bịa nʼebe ahụ were nri ha ga-eri, rijuokwa afọ. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-agọzi gị, gọziekwa ọrụ aka gị niile.

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.
