Deuteronomii 14

1 Filii estote Domini Dei vestri: non vos incidetis, nec facietis calvitium super mortuo.

Ye are the children of the Lord your God. Ye shall not cut yourselues, nor make you any baldnesse betweene your eyes for the dead.

2 quoniam populus sanctus es Domino Deo tuo: et te elegit ut sis ei in populum peculiarem de cunctis gentibus, quæ sunt super terram.

For thou art an holy people vnto ye Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a precious people vnto himselfe, aboue all the people that are vpon the earth.

3 Ne comedatis quæ immunda sunt.

Thou shalt eate no maner of abomination.

4 Hoc est animal, quod comedere debetis, Bovem, et ovem, et capram,

These are the beastes, which ye shall eate, the beefe, the sheepe, and the goate,

5 cervum et capream, bubalum, tragelaphum, pygargum, orygem, camelopardalum.

The hart, and the roe buck, and the bugle, and the wilde goate, and the vnicorne, and the wilde oxe, and the chamois.

6 Omne animal quod in duas partes findit ungulam, et ruminat, comedetis.

And euery beast that parteth ye hoofe, and cleaueth the clift into two clawes, and is of the beasts that cheweth the cudde, that shall ye eate.

7 De his autem, quæ ruminant, et ungulam non findunt, comedere non debetis, ut camelum, leporem, chœrogryllum: hæc quia ruminant, et non dividunt ungulam, immunda erunt vobis.

But these ye shall not eate, of them that chew the cud, and of them that deuide and cleaue the hoofe onely: ye camell, nor the hare, nor the cony: for they chewe the cudde, but deuide not ye hoofe: therefore they shall be vncleane vnto you:

8 Sus quoque quoniam dividat ungulam, et non ruminat, immunda erit. carnibus eorum non vescemini, et cadavera non tangetis.

Also the swine, because he deuideth the hoofe, and cheweth not the cud, shalbe vncleane vnto you: ye shall not eate of their flesh, nor touch their dead carkeises.

9 Hæc comedetis ex omnibus quæ morantur in aquis: Quæ habent pinnulas et squamas, comedite:

These ye shall eate, of all that are in the waters: all that haue finnes and scales shall ye eate.

10 quæ absque pinnulis et squamis sunt, ne comedatis, quia immunda sunt.

And whatsoeuer hath no finnes nor scales, ye shall not eate: it shall be vncleane vnto you.

11 Omnes aves mundas comedite.

Of all cleane birdes ye shall eate:

12 Immundas ne comedatis: aquilam scilicet, et gryphem, et haliæetum,

But these are they, whereof ye shall not eate: the eagle, nor the goshawke, nor the osprey,

13 ixion, et vulturem ac milvum iuxta genus suum:

Nor the glead nor the kite, nor the vulture, after their kind,

14 et omne corvini generis,

Nor all kinde of rauens,

15 et struthionem, ac noctuam, et larum, atque accipitrem iuxta genus suum:

Nor the ostrich, nor the nightcrow, nor the semeaw, nor the hawke after her kinde,

16 herodium ac cygnum, et ibin,

Neither the litle owle, nor the great owle, nor the redshanke,

17 ac mergulum, porphyrionem, et nycticoracem,

Nor the pellicane, nor the swanne, nor the cormorant:

18 onocrotalum, et charadrium, singula in genere suo: upupam quoque et vespertilionem.

The storke also, and the heron in his kinde, nor the lapwing, nor the backe.

19 Et omne quod reptat et pennulas habet, immundum erit, et non comedetur.

And euery creeping thing that flieth, shall be vncleane vnto you: it shall not be eaten.

20 Omne quod mundum est, comedite.

But of all cleane foules ye may eate.

21 Quidquid autem morticinum est, ne vescamini ex eo. Peregrino, qui intra portas tuas est, da ut comedat, aut vende ei: quia tu populus sanctus Domini Dei tui es. Non coques hœdum in lacte matris suæ.

Ye shall eate of nothing that dieth alone, but thou shalt giue it vnto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eate it: or thou maiest sell it vnto a stranger: for thou art an holy people vnto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mothers milke.

22 Decimam partem separabis de cunctis fructibus tuis qui nascuntur in terra per annos singulos,

Thou shalt giue the tithe of all the increase of thy seede, that commeth foorth of the fielde yeere by yeere.

23 et comedes in conspectu Domini Dei tui in loco, quem elegerit, ut in eo nomen illius invocetur, decimam frumenti tui, et vini, et olei, et primogenita de armentis et ovibus tuis: ut discas timere Dominum Deum tuum omni tempore.

And thou shalt eate before the Lord thy God (in the place which he shall chose to cause his Name to dwell there) the tithe of thy corne, of thy wine, and of thine oyle, and the first borne of thy kine and of thy sheepe, that thou maiest learne to feare the Lord thy God alway.

24 Cum autem longior fuerit via, et locus quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, tibique benedixerit, nec potueris ad eum hæc cuncta portare,

And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to cary it, because the place is farre from thee, where the Lord thy God shall chose to set his Name, when the Lord thy God shall blesse thee,

25 vendes omnia, et in pretium rediges, portabisque manu tua, et proficisceris ad locum, quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus:

Then shalt thou make it in money, and take the money in thine hand, and goe vnto the place which the Lord thy God shall chose.

26 et emes ex eadem pecunia quidquid tibi placuerit, sive ex armentis, sive ex ovibus, vinum quoque et siceram, et omne quod desiderat anima tua: et comedes coram Domino Deo tuo, et epulaberis tu et domus tua:

And thou shalt bestowe the money for whatsoeuer thine heart desireth: whether it be oxe, or sheepe, or wine, or strong drinke, or whatsoeuer thine heart desireth: and shalt eate it there before the Lord thy God, and reioyce, both thou, and thine household.

27 et Levites qui intra portas tuas est, cave ne derelinquas eum, quia non habet aliam partem in possessione tua.

And the Leuite that is within thy gates, shalt thou not forsake: for he hath neither part nor inheritance with thee.

28 Anno tertio separabis aliam decimam ex omnibus quæ nascuntur tibi eo tempore: et repones intra ianuas tuas.

At the end of three yeere thou shalt bring foorth all the tithes of thine increase of the same yeere, and lay it vp within thy gates.

29 Venietque Levites qui aliam non habet partem nec possessionem tecum, et peregrinus ac pupillus et vidua, qui intra portas tuas sunt, et comedent et saturabuntur: ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in cunctis operibus manuum tuarum quæ feceris.

Then ye Leuite shall come, because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherlesse, and the widowe, which are within thy gates, and shall eate, and be filled, that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in al the worke of thine hand which thou doest.
