Deuteronomy 14

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.	1 "You are children of the LORD, your God. You shall not gash yourselves nor shave the hair above your foreheads for the dead.
2 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.	2 For you are a people sacred to the LORD, your God, who has chosen you from all the nations on the face of the earth to be a people peculiarly his own.
3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.	3 "You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,	4 These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.	5 the red deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the ibex, the addax, the oryx, and the mountain sheep.
6 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.	6 Any animal that has hoofs you may eat, provided it is cloven-footed and chews the cud.
7 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.	7 But you shall not eat any of the following that only chew the cud or only have cloven hoofs: the camel, the hare and the rock badger, which indeed chew the cud, but do not have hoofs and are therefore unclean for you;
8 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.	8 and the pig, which indeed has hoofs and is cloven-footed, but does not chew the cud and is therefore unclean for you. Their flesh you shall not eat, and their dead bodies you shall not touch.
9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:	9 "Of the various creatures that live in the water, whatever has both fins and scales you may eat,
10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.	10 but all those that lack either fins or scales you shall not eat; they are unclean for you.
11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.	11 "You may eat all clean birds.
12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and ossifrage, and the ospray,	12 But you shall not eat any of the following: the eagle, the vulture, the osprey,
13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,	13 the various kites and falcons,
14 And every raven after his kind,	14 all the various species of crows,
15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,	15 the ostrich, the nightjar, the gull, the various species of hawks,
16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,	16 the owl, the screech owl, the ibis,
17 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,	17 the desert owl, the buzzard, the cormorant,
18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.	18 the stork, the various species of herons, the hoopoe, and the bat.
19 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.	19 All winged insects, too, are unclean for you and shall not be eaten.
20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.	20 But you may eat any clean winged creatures.
21 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.	21 "You must not eat any animal that has died of itself, for you are a people sacred to the LORD, your God. But you may give it to an alien who belongs to your community, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. "You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.	22 "Each year you shall tithe all the produce that grows in the field you have sown;
23 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.	23 then in the place which the LORD, your God, chooses as the dwelling place of his name you shall eat in his presence your tithe of the grain, wine and oil, as well as the firstlings of your herd and flock, that you may learn always to fear the LORD, your God.
24 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:	24 If, however, the journey is too much for you and you are not able to bring your tithe, because the place which the LORD, your God, chooses for the abode of his name is too far for you, considering how the LORD has blessed you,
25 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:	25 you may exchange the tithe for money and, with the purse of money in hand, go to the place which the LORD, your God, chooses.
26 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,	26 You may then exchange the money for whatever you desire, oxen or sheep, wine or strong drink, or anything else you would enjoy, and there before the LORD, your God, you shall partake of it and make merry with your family.
27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.	27 But do not neglect the Levite who belongs to your community, for he has no share in the heritage with you.
28 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:	28 "At the end of every third year you shall bring out all the tithes of your produce for that year and deposit them in community stores,
29 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.	29 that the Levite who has no share in the heritage with you, and also the alien, the orphan and the widow who belong to your community, may come and eat their fill; so that the LORD, your God, may bless you in all that you undertake.
