1“Ko e fānau ʻakimoutolu ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua: ʻoua naʻa mou tafaʻi ʻakimoutolu, pe fafai homou foʻi laʻē koeʻuhi ko e pekia.
1You are sons of the LORD your God; do not cut yourselves or shave your foreheads on behalf of the dead,
2He ko e kakai māʻoniʻoni koe kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea kuo fili koe ʻe Sihova ke hoko ko e kakai ʻofeina kiate ia, ʻo lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.
2for 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.
3¶ “ʻOua naʻa ke kai ha meʻa fakalielia ʻe taha.
3You must not eat any detestable thing.
4Ko eni ʻae fanga manu ke mou kai: ko e pulu, mo e sipi, pea mo e kosi.
4These are the animals that you may eat: The ox, the sheep, the goat,
5Ko e haʻate, mo e ʻanitelope, mo e tia mo e kosi kai vao, mo e tisone, mo e pulu ʻoe vao, mo e semela.
5the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
6Pea mo e manu kotoa pē ʻoku mavaeua ʻae ʻaofivaʻe, mo vahevahe ke ua hono pesipesi, mo lamu ʻangaua ʻene kai ʻi he fanga manu, ko ia ke mou kai.
6You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud.
7Ka ko ia ʻi ai ʻoku lamu ʻangaua ʻene kai, pea mo ia ʻoku mavaeua ʻae vaʻe; ʻo hangē ko e kāmeli, mo e hea, mo e lāpisi: he ʻoku nau lamu ʻangaua ʻenau kai, ka ʻoku ʻikai mavaeua honau ʻaofivaʻe: ko ia ia ʻoku taʻemaʻa kiate kimoutolu.
7But 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,
8Pea ko e puaka, ʻoku vahevahe hono pesipesi, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne lamu ʻangaua ʻene kai, ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu: ʻoua naʻa mou kai honau kakano, pe ala ki honau sino mate.
8as 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.
9¶ “Ko eni ia ʻi he meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he vai te mou kai: ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku kaponga mo ʻuno te mou kai:
9Of all the creatures that live in the water, you may eat anything with fins and scales,
10Pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai kaponga mo ʻuno ʻoua naʻa mou kai: ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
10but you may not eat anything that does not have fins and scales; it is unclean for you.
11¶ “ʻI he manu maʻa kotoa pē ʻoku kapakau te mou kai.
11You may eat any clean bird,
12Ka ko kinautolu ni ʻoua naʻa mou kai: ko e ʻikale mo e ʻosifalesi mo e ʻosipale,
12but these you may not eat: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,
13Mo e kaite, mo e volita ʻi hono faʻahinga,
13the red kite, the falcon, any kind of kite,
14Mo e leveni kotoa pē ʻi hono faʻahinga,
14any kind of raven,
15Mo e lulu, mo e taiseni ʻoe poʻuli, mo e kuko, mo e taiseni ʻi hono faʻahinga.
15the ostrich, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
16Ko e peka, mo e lulu lahi, mo e suani,
16the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,
17Mo e lofa, mo e sia ʻikale, mo e komolanite,
17the desert owl, the osprey, the cormorant,
18Mo e sitoaki, mo e motuku ʻi hono ngaahi faʻahinga, mo e lapiuingi, mo e pekalu.
18the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, or the bat.
19Mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoku puna, ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu: ʻoua naʻa kai ia.
19All flying insects are unclean for you; they may not be eaten.
20Ka ko e ngaahi manu kapakau kotoa pē ʻoku maʻa ke mou kai.
20But you may eat any clean bird.
21¶ “ʻOua naʻa mou kai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku mate mahaki pe; ke ke ʻatu ia ki he muli ʻoku ʻi ho lotoʻā, koeʻuhi ke ne kai ia; pea ke fakatau ia ki he muli: he ko e kakai māʻoniʻoni koe kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua. ʻOua naʻa ke haka ʻae ʻuhikiʻi manu ʻi he huhuʻa ʻo ʻene faʻē.
21You 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.
22Ke ke tukuhau moʻoni ʻaki hono tupu kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo tenga, ʻaia ʻoku tupu ʻi he ngoue ʻi he taʻu tuku fakaholo.
22You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the produce brought forth each year from your fields.
23Pea ke kai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe ia ke tuku ki ai hono huafa, hono vahe hongofulu ʻo hoʻo uite, mo hoʻo uaine, pea mo hoʻo lolo, mo e ngaahi ʻuluaki fānau ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lalahi, pea ʻi hoʻo fanga manu siʻi; koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo ke manavahē maʻuaipē kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
23And 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.
24Pea kapau ʻoku lōloa fau ʻae hala kiate koe, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te ke faʻa fua ia ki ai; pe ʻoku mamaʻo ʻaupito meiate koe ʻae potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke tuku ki ai hono huafa, ʻi he hili hono tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua:
24But 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,
25Te ke toki maʻu ʻaki ia ʻae paʻanga, pea ke nonoʻo ʻae paʻanga ʻi ho nima, pea ke ʻalu ki he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua:
25then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose.
26Pea ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ko ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke holi ki ai, ʻae fanga pulu, pe ko e sipi, pe ko e uaine, pe ko e inu mālohi, pe ko e meʻa ʻoku ke holi ki ai; pea te ke kai ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea te ke fiefia, ʻa koe, pea mo ho kaungā nofoʻanga,
26Then 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.
27Pea mo e Livai ʻoku ʻi ho lotoʻā ʻoua naʻa ke liʻaki ia; he ʻoku ʻikai hano vahe pe tofiʻa mo kimoutolu.
27And do not neglect the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you.
28¶ “ʻI he ngataʻanga ʻo hono tolu taʻu, te ke ʻomi ʻae vahe hongofulu kotoa pē kuo tupu kiate koe ʻi he taʻu ko ia, pea te ke fokotuʻu ia ʻi ho lotoʻā:
28At the end of every three years, bring a tenth of all your produce for that year and lay it up within your gates.
29Pea ko e Livai, (koe meʻa ʻi he ʻikai hano vāhenga pe tofiʻa fakataha mo koe,) mo e muli, mo e tamai mate, mo e uitou, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ho ngaahi lotoʻā, ʻe haʻu ia, ʻo kai pea fiemālie; koeʻuhi ke tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻa ho nima ʻaia ʻoku ke fai.
29Then 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.
