Deuteronomy 14
1 Be ye children of the Lord your God: you shall not cut yourselves, no, make any baldness for the dead;
“Nou se fis a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou p ap blese kò nou, ni pase razwa sou fwon nou pou koz lanmò.
2 Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God: and he chose thee to be his peculiar people of all nations that are upon the earth.
Paske nou se yon pèp ki sen a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. SENYÈ a te chwazi ou kòm yon pèp pou pwòp posesyon pa Li, sòti nan tout pèp ki sou sifas tè a.
3 Eat not the things that are unclean.
“Nou pa pou manje okenn bagay abominab.
4 These are the beasts that you shall eat, the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,
Sila yo se bèt ke nou kapab manje: bèf, mouton, kabrit,
5 The hart and the roe, the buffle, the chamois, the pygarg, the wild goat, the camelopardalus.
Sèf, kabrit mawon, den, bèf mawon, boukten, antilòp, ak mouton mòn.
6 Every beast that divideth the hoof in two parts, and cheweth the cud, you shall eat.
Nenpòt bèt ak zago divize ki remonte manje li pami tout bèt yo, sila nou kapab manje.
7 But of them that chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, you shall not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the cherogril: because they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, they shall be unclean to you.
“Sepandan, pami sila ki remonte manje yo, oswa sila ki divize zago an de yo: chamo, lapèn ak daman; akoz, malgre yo remonte manje, yo pa divize zago yo, yo pa pwòp pou nou.
8 The swine also, because it divideth the hoof, but cheweth not the cud, shall be unclean, their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.
Kochon, paske li divize zago a, men pa remonte manje, li pa pwòp pou nou. Nou pa pou manje anyen nan chè li, ni touche kò mouri yo.
9 These shall you eat of all that abide in the waters: All that have fins and scales, you shall eat.
“Sila nou kapab manje nan tout sa ki nan dlo yo: Nou ka manje nenpòt sa ki gen zèl naje avèk kal,
10 Such as are without fins and scales, you shall not eat, because they are unclean.
men okenn nan yo ki pa gen zèl naje avèk kal, nou pa pou manje yo; se pa pwòp pou nou.
11 All birds that are clean you shall eat.
“Nou kapab manje nenpòt zwazo ki pwòp.
12 The unclean eat not: to wit, the eagle, and the grype, and the osprey,
Men sila ke nou pa pou manje yo: èg, lòfre ak malfini lanmè,
13 The ringtail, and the vulture, and the kite according to their kind:
milan wouj, otou, votou ak tout kalite parèy yo,
14 And all of the raven’s kind:
kòbo ak tout kalite parèy yo,
15 And the ostrich, and the owl, and the larus, and the hawk according to its kind:
otrich, ibou, poul dlo, ak malfini avèk tout kalite parèy yo,
16 The heron, and the swan, and the stork,
koukou, frize, gwo kana mawon blan,
17 And the cormorant, the porphyrion, and the night crow,
grangozye, plonjon, chwèt,
18 The bittern, and the charadrion, every one in their kind: the hoop also and the bat.
sigòy, krabye, ak kalite parèy yo, sèpantye, tchotcho ak chòv-souri.
19 Every thing that creepeth, and hath little wings, shall be unclean, and shall not be eaten.
“Tout reptil avèk zèl pa pwòp pou nou. Yo pa pou manje.
20 All that is clean, you shall eat.
Nou kapab manje nenpòt zwazo ki pwòp.
21 But whatsoever is dead of itself, eat not thereof. Give it to the stranger, that is within thy gates, to eat, or sell it to him: because thou art the holy people of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.
“Nou pa pou manje okenn bagay ki mouri pou kont li. Nou gen dwa bay li a etranje ki rete nan vil nou, pou li kab manje l, oswa nou kapab vann li a yon etranje; paske nou se yon pèp ki sen a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa pou bouyi yon jenn ti kabrit ki nan lèt manman.
22 Every year thou shalt set aside the tithes of all thy fruits that the earth bringeth forth,
“Chak ane, nou va, anverite, bay ladim nan tout pwodwi a sila ke nou plante yo, ki sòti nan chan.
23 And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, that his name may be called upon therein, the tithe of thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, and the firstborn of thy herds and thy sheep: that thou mayst learn to fear the Lord thy God at all times.
Nou va manje nan prezans SENYÈ a, kote Li chwazi pou etabli non Li an, dim a sereyal nou, a diven nèf nou, a lwil nou, premye ne a twoupo nou ak bann mouton nou, pou nou kapab vin aprann krent SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jis pou tout tan.
24 But when the way and the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, are far off, and he hath blessed thee, and thou canst not carry all these things thither,
“Si distans lan tèlman gran pou nou, pou nou pa kapab pote yon dim, akoz kote SENYÈ Bondye nou an chwazi pou mete non Li an twò lwen nou, lè SENYÈ Bondye nou an, beni nou,
25 Thou shalt sell them all, and turn them into money, and shalt carry it in thy hand, and shalt go to the place which the Lord shall choose:
alò, nou va twoke li pou lajan; epi mare lajan an nan men nou pou ale kote SENYÈ Bondye nou an, chwazi a.
26 And thou shalt buy with the same money whatsoever pleaseth thee, either of the herds or of sheep, wine also and strong drink, and all that thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, and shalt feast, thou and thy house:
Nou kapab depanse lajan an pou nenpòt sa ke kè nou dezire: pou bèf kabwèt, oswa mouton, oswa diven, oswa bwason ki fò, oswa nenpòt sa kè nou dezire; epi la, nou va manje nan prezans SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an; epi rejwi nou menm avèk tout lakay nou.
27 And the Levite that is within thy gates, beware thou forsake him not, because he hath no other part in thy possession.
Osi, nou p ap neglije Levit ki nan vil nou an, paske li pa gen pati ni eritaj pami nou.
28 The third year thou shalt separate another tithe of all things that grow to thee at that time, and shalt lay it up within thy gates.
“Nan fen chak twazyèm ane, nou va pote tout dim a sila nou pwodwi pou ane sa a, e nou va depoze li nan pwòp vil pa nou an.
29 And the Levite that hath no other part nor possession with thee, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come and shall eat and be filled: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands that thou shalt do.
Levit la, akoz li pa gen pati oswa eritaj pami nou, e etranje, òfelen, ak vèv ki nan vil nou yo, yo va manje e satisfè, jis pou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, beni nou nan tout travay ke men nou fè.
