1 Ye are the children of Jehovah your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. 2 For thou art a holy people unto Jehovah thy God, and Jehovah hath chosen thee to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.

3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. 4 These are the beasts which ye may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, 5 the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the antelope, and the chamois. 6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and hath the hoof cloven in two, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat. 7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the coney; because they chew the cud but part not the hoof, they are unclean unto you. 8 And the swine, because he parteth the hoof but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you: of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch.

9 These ye may eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales may ye eat; 10 and whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean unto you.

11 Of all clean birds ye may eat. 12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the gier-eagle, and the ospray, 13 and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite after its kind, 14 and every raven after its kind, 15 and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kind, 16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl, 17 and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant, 18 and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat. 19 And all winged creeping things are unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten. 20 Of all clean birds ye may eat.

21 Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou mayest give it unto the sojourner that is within thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto a foreigner: for thou art a holy people unto Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.

22 Thou shalt surely tithe all the increase of thy seed, that which cometh forth from the field year by year. 23 And thou shalt eat before Jehovah thy God, in the place which he shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear Jehovah thy God always. 24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to set his name there, when Jehovah thy God shall bless thee; 25 then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shalt go unto the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose: 26 and thou shalt bestow the money for whatsoever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul asketh of thee; and thou shalt eat there before Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thy household. 27 And the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee.

28 At the end of every three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: 29 and the Levite, because he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest.

1 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.

2 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.

3 Kaua e kainga tetahi mea whakarihariha.

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

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

6 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.

7 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:

8 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.

9 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.
