Deuteronomy 14

1 You are sons of the LORD your God; do not cut yourselves or shave your foreheads on behalf of the dead,

1 “你们是你们上帝耶和华的儿女，不可为死人割伤自己或剃光前额。

2 for you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.

2 因为你们是你们的上帝耶和华的圣民，祂从天下万族中拣选你们作祂宝贵的产业。

3 You must not eat any detestable thing.

3 “你们不可吃任何可憎之物。

4 These are the animals that you may eat: The ox, the sheep, the goat,

4 但你们可以吃牛、绵羊、山羊、

5 the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.

5 鹿、羚羊、狍子、野山羊、瞪羚、黄羊和野绵羊。

6 You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud.

6 凡蹄子分瓣且反刍的动物，你们都可以吃。

7 But of those that chew the cud or have a completely divided hoof, you are not to eat the following: the camel, the rabbit, or the rock badger. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof. They are unclean for you,

7 在那些只反刍或只是蹄子分瓣的动物中，你们不可吃骆驼、野兔和石獾，因为它们虽反刍但蹄子不分瓣，是不洁净的。

8 as well as the pig; though it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. It is unclean for you. You must not eat its meat or touch its carcass.

8 你们也不可吃猪，因为猪虽蹄子分瓣但不反刍，是不洁净的。你们不可吃这些动物的肉，也不可摸它们的尸体。

9 Of all the creatures that live in the water, you may eat anything with fins and scales,

9 “水族中，凡有鳍有鳞的，你们都可以吃。

10 but you may not eat anything that does not have fins and scales; it is unclean for you.

10 凡无鳍无鳞的都不洁净，你们不可吃。

11 You may eat any clean bird,

11 “你们可以吃洁净的鸟类。

12 but these you may not eat: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,

12 不可吃的鸟类有雕、胡兀鹫、黑秃鹫、

13 the red kite, the falcon, any kind of kite,

13 鸢、隼类、

14 any kind of raven,

14 乌鸦类、

15 the ostrich, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,

15 鸵鸟、夜鹰、海鸥、鹰类、

16 the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,

16 小鸮、大鸮、仓鸮、

17 the desert owl, the osprey, the cormorant,

17 鹈鹕、鱼鹰、鸬鹚、

18 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, or the bat.

18 鹳、鹭鸟类、戴胜和蝙蝠。

19 All flying insects are unclean for you; they may not be eaten.

19 “凡有翅膀、会爬的昆虫都不洁净，你们不可吃。

20 But you may eat any clean bird.

20 凡有翅膀的洁净之物，你们都可以吃。

21 You are not to eat any carcass; you may give it to the foreigner residing within your gates, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people belonging to the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.

21 “你们不可吃死掉的动物，但可以送给住在你们城里的外族人吃，或卖给其他外族人。因为你们是你们的上帝耶和华的圣民。你们不可用母山羊的奶煮它的羊羔。

22 You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the produce brought forth each year from your fields.

22 “你们每年要献出收成的十分之一；

23 And you are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks, in the presence of the LORD your God at the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name, so that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.

23 要在你们的上帝耶和华选定的敬拜场所，在祂面前吃所献的十分之一的谷物、新酒、油以及头生的牛羊。这是为了让你们学习一生敬畏你们的上帝耶和华。

24 But if the distance is too great for you to carry that with which the LORD your God has blessed you, because the place where the LORD your God will choose to put His Name is too far away,

24 如果你们的上帝耶和华赐福你们，使你们丰收，而你们住的地方离祂选定的敬拜场所太远，以致不能把收成的十分之一送去，

25 then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose.

25 就可以把那些收成换成银钱，带到你们的上帝耶和华选定的场所。

26 Then you may spend the money on anything you desire: cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or anything you wish. You are to feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice with your household.

26 在那里，你们可以随意买牛、羊、淡酒或烈酒，然后一家人在你们的上帝耶和华面前吃喝快乐。

27 And do not neglect the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you.

27 不可忘记住在你们城里的利未人，因为利未人没有分到土地作产业。

28 At the end of every three years, bring a tenth of all your produce for that year and lay it up within your gates.

28 “每逢第三年末，你们要把那年所有出产的十分之一拿出来，存放在你们的城里，

29 Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance among you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates may come and eat and be satisfied. And the LORD your God will bless you in all the work of your hands.

29 让你们城中没有土地的利未人、寄居者和孤儿寡妇都可以来吃饱。这样，你们的上帝耶和华必使你们凡事蒙福。
