Deuteronomy 14

Vi ste sinovi Jahve, Boga svoga. Nemojte na sebi praviti ureza ni podstriga na čelu za pokojnikom.

Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

TÓa ti si narod posvećen Jahvi, Bogu svome; Jahve je odabrao tebe između svih naroda na zemlji da budeš njegov narod, njegova predraga svojina.

For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

Ništa odvratno nemojte jesti.

Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

Ovo su životinje koje možete jesti: vol, ovca, koza,

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

jelen, srna, srndać, kozorog, antilopa, bivol i divokoza;

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

možete jesti svaku životinju koja ima razdvojene papke - nadvoje posve razdvojene - i koja preživa.

And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.

Samo od preživača ili od životinja s razdvojenim čaporcima ne možete jesti ove : devu, arnebeta i svisca. Te, naime, iako preživaju, nemaju razdvojenih papaka; neka su za vas nečiste.

Nevertheless these ye 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 unto you.

A svinja, premda ima papke razdvojene, ne preživa: neka je za vas nečista. Njezina mesa nemojte jesti niti se njezina strva doticati.

And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.

A od svega što u vodi živi ovo možete jesti: što god ima ljuske i peraje, možete jesti.

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

A što nema ljusaka i peraja, ne smijete jesti. To neka je za vas nečisto.

And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.

Svaku čistu pticu možete jesti.

Of all clean birds ye shall eat.

Ali ovih ne smijete jesti: orla strvinara i jastreba,

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

tetrijeba, sokola bilo koje vrste;

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

gavrana bilo koje vrste;

And every raven after his kind,

noja, kopca, galeba ni kraguja bilo koje vrste;

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

sove, jejine i labuda;

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

pelikana, bijelog strvinara i gnjurca;

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

rode, čaplje bilo koje vrste; pupavca i šišmiša.

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

Svi krilati kukci neka su za vas nečisti - ne smijete ih jesti.

And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.

Sve krilato čisto možete jesti.

But of all clean fowls ye may eat.

Ne smijete jesti ništa što crkne. Daj to pridošlici koji boravi u tvojim gradovima neka jede ili pak prodaj tuđincu. Jer ti si narod posvećen Jahvi, Bogu svome. Ne kuhaj kozleta u mlijeku njegove majke!

Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

Odvajaj desetinu dohotka svake godine od svega što tvoj usjev u polju donese.

Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.

A onda blaguj desetine svoga žita, svoga vina, svoga ulja i prvine svoje krupne i sitne stoke u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga, na mjestu koje on odabere da svoje ime ondje nastani; da se tako naučiš zauvijek bojati se Jahve, Boga svoga.

And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.

Bude li ti put predug te ne mogneš donijeti desetine - jer je mjesto što ga Jahve odabere da u njemu nastani svoje ime previše daleko od tebe - tada, kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, blagoslovi,

And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:

prodaj to za novac, uzmi novac u ruku pa idi u mjesto što ga odabere Jahve, Bog tvoj.

Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:

Ondje za novac kupi što želiš: goveče, sitno živinče, vino ili opojno piće - što god ti duša zaželi. Ondje u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga, blaguj i veseli se ti i tvoji ukućani.

And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,

Ne zanemaruj levita koji bude u tvojim gradovima, jer on nema udjela ni baštine s tobom.

And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.

Na kraju svake treće godine iznesi svu desetinu svoga prihoda od te godine i položi je na svoja vrata.

At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:

Pa neka dođe levit - jer nema udjela ni baštine s tobom - došljak, sirota i udovica koji budu živjeli u tvom gradu i neka jedu i neka se nasite. Tako će te blagoslivljati Jahve, Bog tvoj, u svim poslovima što ih tvoja ruka poduzme.

And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
