14  Ko koutou nga tamariki a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua: kaua koutou e haehae i a koutou, kaua hoki e tiwhaina a waenganui o o koutou kanohi mo te tupapaku.

He iwi tapu hoki koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, a kua whiriwhiri a Ihowa i a koe hei iwi mana, motuhake rawa i nga iwi katoa i te mata o te whenua.

Kaua e kainga tetahi mea whakarihariha.

Ko nga kararehe enei e kai ai koutou: ko te kau, ko te hipi, ko te koati,

Ko te hata, ko te kahera, ko te ropaka, ko te koati mohoao, ko te pikareka, ko te anaterope, ko te temera.

Ko nga kararehe katoa hoki e tararua ana te matimati, e weherua ana te titorehanga, e rua nei nga matimati, a e whakahoki ake ana i te kai, i roto i nga kararehe, ko ena me kai.

Otiia kaua e kainga enei o nga mea e whakahoki ake ana i te kai, o nga mea hoki e tararua ana nga matimati, e titore pu ana; ko te kamera, ko te hea, ko te koni, no te mea e whakahoki ake ana ratou i te kai, otiia kihai i tararua te matimati; hei mea poke ena ki a koutou:

Me te poaka hoki, no te mea e titore ana nga matimati, otiia kahore e whakahoki ake ana i te kai; hei mea poke tena ki a koutou: kaua e kainga o ratou kikokiko, kaua hoki e pa atu ki o ratou tinana mate.

Ko enei a koutou e kai ai o nga mea katoa o roto i te wai: ko nga mea katoa e whai tara ana, e whai unahi ana, ko ena ta koutou e kai:

10 A ko nga mea kahore he tara, kahore hoki he unahi i a ratou, kaua e kainga; hei mea poke ena ki a koutou.

11 Ko nga manu pokekore katoa me kai e koutou.

12 Engari tenei ano nga mea kaua e kainga e koutou: ko te ekara, ko te wawahi iwi, me te ahipare,

13 Ko te kireti, ko te kaiaia, ko te whatura, me nga mea pera,

14 Ko nga raweni katoa, me nga mea pera,

15 Ko te otereti, ko te kahu po, ko te koekoea, ko te kahu, me nga mea pera,

16 Ko te ruru nohinohi, ko te ruru nui, ko te wani,

17 Ko te perikana, ko te kia ekara, ko te kawau,

18 Ko te taaka, ko te heroni, ko nga pera, ko te hupou, ko te pekapeka.

19 A ko nga mea ngoki katoa e rere a manu ana, he mea poke ena ki a koutou: kaua e kainga.

20 Ko nga manu pokekore katoa me kai.

21 Kei kainga te mea i mate maori noa: me hoatu ki te manene i roto i ou tatau, a mana e kai; me hoki atu ranei ki te tangata iwi ke: he iwi tapu hoki koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua. Kaua e kohuatia he kuao koati ki te waiu o tona whaea.

22 Whakatekautia nga hua katoa o au purapura, e tupu ake ana i te mara i tenei tau, i tenei tau.

23 Me kai hoki ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai ia kia waiho tona ingoa ki reira, nga whakatekau o tau witi, o tau waina, o tau hinu hoki, me nga matamua ano o au kau, o au hipi hoki; kia ako ai koe ki te wehi i a Ihowa, i tou Atua, i nga ra katoa.

24 A ki te roa rawa tou huarahi, e kore ai e taea e koe tena mea te kawe, no te mea he mamao atu i a koe te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, kia waiho tona ingoa ki reira, ina manaakitia koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua:

25 Na me hoko e koe ki te moni, me takai hoki te moni ki roto ki tou ringa, ka haere ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua:

26 Na ka hoko atu koe i te moni ki nga mea katoa e hiahia ai tou ngakau, ki te kau, ki te hipi ranei, ki te waina ranei, ki te wai kaha ranei, ki nga mea katoa ranei e matea nuitia ana e tou ngakau: ka kai ai ki reira ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou At ua, ka hari hoki koe, koutou ko tou whare:

27 A ko te Riwaiti i roto i ou tatau, kaua ia e whakarerea e koe: he mea hoki kahore ona wahi, kainga tupu ranei i roto i a koe.

28 Hei te mutunga o nga tau e toru ka mau koe ki waho i nga whakatekau katoa o au hua o tena tau, ka whakatakoto ai ki ou kuwaha:

29 Na ka haere te Riwaiti, no te mea kahore ona wahi, kainga tupu ranei i roto i a koe, me te manene, me te pani, me te pouaru, kei roto nei i ou tatau, a ka kai ratou, ka makona: kia manaaki ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe i nga mahi katoa a tou rin ga e mahi ai koe.

Clean and Unclean Food(A)

14 You are the children(B) of the Lord your God. Do not cut yourselves or shave the front of your heads for the dead, for you are a people holy(C) to the Lord your God.(D) Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.(E)

Do not eat any detestable thing.(F) These are the animals you may eat:(G) the ox, the sheep, the goat,(H) the deer,(I) the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat,(J) the ibex, the antelope and the mountain sheep.[a] You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud. However, of those that chew the cud or that have a divided hoof you may not eat the camel, the rabbit or the hyrax. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof; they are ceremonially unclean for you. The pig is also unclean; although it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses.(K)

Of all the creatures living in the water, you may eat any that has fins and scales. 10 But anything that does not have fins and scales you may not eat; for you it is unclean.

11 You may eat any clean bird. 12 But these you may not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, 13 the red kite, the black kite, any kind(L) of falcon,(M) 14 any kind of raven,(N) 15 the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, 16 the little owl, the great owl, the white owl, 17 the desert owl,(O) the osprey, the cormorant, 18 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.

19 All flying insects are unclean to you; do not eat them. 20 But any winged creature that is clean you may eat.(P)

21 Do not eat anything you find already dead.(Q) You may give it to the foreigner residing in any of your towns, and they may eat it, or you may sell it to any other foreigner. But you are a people holy to the Lord your God.(R)

Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.(S)

Tithes

22 Be sure to set aside a tenth(T) of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat(U) the tithe of your grain, new wine(V) and olive 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,(W) so that you may learn(X) to revere(Y) the Lord your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange(Z) your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink,(AA) or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice.(AB) 27 And do not neglect the Levites(AC) living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.(AD)

28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes(AE) of that year’s produce and store it in your towns,(AF) 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment(AG) or inheritance(AH) of their own) and the foreigners,(AI) the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied,(AJ) and so that the Lord your God may bless(AK) you in all the work of your hands.
