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 「你們是耶和華－你們上帝的兒女。不可為死人用刀劃身，也不可將額上剃光；

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 因為你歸耶和華－你上帝為聖潔的民，耶和華從地上的萬民中揀選你特作自己的子民。」

3 You must not eat any detestable thing.

3 「凡可憎的物都不可吃。

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

4 可吃的牲畜就是牛、綿羊、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、誁子、野山羊、麋鹿、黃羊、青羊。

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

6 凡分蹄成為兩瓣又倒嚼的走獸，你們都可以吃。

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 但那些倒嚼或是分蹄之中不可吃的乃是駱駝、觠子、沙番－因為是倒嚼不分蹄，就與你們不潔淨；

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 豬－因為是分蹄卻不倒嚼，就與你們不潔淨。這些獸的肉，你們不可吃，死的也不可摸。

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

9 「水中可吃的乃是這些：凡有翅有鱗的都可以吃；

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

10 凡無翅無鱗的都不可吃，是與你們不潔淨。

11 You may eat any clean bird,

11 「凡潔淨的鳥，你們都可以吃。

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

12 不可吃的乃是鵰、狗頭鵰、紅頭鵰、

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

13 鸇、小鷹、鷂鷹與其類，

14 any kind of raven,

18 鸛、鷺鷥與其類，戴鵀與蝙蝠。

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

19 凡有翅膀爬行的物是與你們不潔淨，都不可吃。

20 But you may eat any clean bird.

20 凡潔淨的鳥，你們都可以吃。

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 「凡自死的，你們都不可吃，可以給你城裏寄居的吃，或賣與外人吃，因為你是歸耶和華－你上帝為聖潔的民。 「不可用山羊羔母的奶煮山羊羔。」

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

22 「你要把你撒種所產的，就是你田地每年所出的，十分取一分；

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 又要把你的五穀、新酒、和油的十分之一，並牛群羊群中頭生的，吃在耶和華－你上帝面前，就是他所選擇要立為他名的居所。這樣，你可以學習時常敬畏耶和華－你的上帝。

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 當耶和華－你上帝賜福與你的時候，耶和華－你上帝所選擇要立為他名的地方若離你太遠，那路也太長，使你不能把這物帶到那裏去，

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

25 你就可以換成銀子，將銀子包起來，拿在手中，往耶和華－你上帝所要選擇的地方去。

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 你用這銀子，隨心所欲，或買牛羊，或買清酒濃酒，凡你心所想的都可以買；你和你的家屬在耶和華－你上帝的面前吃喝快樂。

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

27 「住在你城裏的利未人，你不可丟棄他，因為他在你們中間無分無業。

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 每逢三年的末一年，你要將本年的土產十分之一都取出來，積存在你的城中。

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 在你城裏無分無業的利未人，和你城裏寄居的，並孤兒寡婦，都可以來，吃得飽足。這樣，耶和華－你的上帝必在你手裏所辦的一切事上賜福與你。」
