¹Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

¹[Ny amin'ny hifadiana izay fanao vetaveta, na izay zavatra tsy fihinana] Zanak'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo, koa aza mitetika ny tenanareo, na manaratra ny eo ambonin'ny handrinareo noho ny amin'ny maty.

²For 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.

²Fa firenena masina ho an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao ka voafidiny ho rakitra soa ho Azy mihoatra noho ny firenena rehetra ambonin'ny tany.

³Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

³Aza mihinana izay fahavetavetana.

⁴These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

⁴Izao no biby izay ho fihinanareo: Ny omby sy ny ondry sy ny osy

⁵The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.

⁵sy ny diera, ny gazela, ny kapreola, ny osi-dia, ny pygarga, ny antilopa ary ny ropikapra:

⁶And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.

⁶izay biby rehetra mivaky kitro, ka misaraka tsara ny kitrony sady mandinika, no ho fihinanareo.

⁷Nevertheless 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.

⁷Nefa amin'izay mandinika na mivaky kitro dia izao ihany kosa no tsy ho fihinanareo: Ny rameva sy ny rà bitro ary ny hyraka, satria mandinika ihany izy, fa tsy mivaky kitro; maloto aminareo izy;

⁸And 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 carcass.

⁸ary ny kisoa koa, satria mivaky kitro izy, fa tsy mandinika, maloto aminareo izy; ny henan ireny tsy ho fihinanareo, ary ny fatiny tsy hokasihinareo.

⁹These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:

⁹Ary amin'izay rehetra ao anatin'ny rano dia izao no ho fihinanareo: izay rehetra misy vombony sy kirany no ho fihinanareo;

¹⁰And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.

¹⁰fa izay rehetra tsy misy vombony sy kirany kosa dia tsy ho fihinanareo; maloto aminareo izy.

¹¹Of all clean birds ye shall eat.

¹¹Ny vorona madio rehetra no ho fihinanareo.

¹²But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

¹²Nefa izao kosa no tsy ho fihinanareo: ny voltora sy ny gypa sy ny ankoay

¹³And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,

¹³ary ny papango sy ny voromahery sy ny papango mainty, samy araka ny karazany, avy

¹⁴And every raven after his kind,

¹⁴ary ny goaika rehetra, samy araka ny karazany avy,

¹⁵And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind,

¹⁵ary ny ostritsa sy ny tararaka sy ny vorondriaka ary ny hitsikitsika, samy araka ny karazany avy,

¹⁶The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,

¹⁶ary ny vorondolo sy ny vorondolo lehibe sy ny ibisa

¹⁷And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,

¹⁷ary ny sama sy ny voltora madinika sy ny manarana

¹⁸And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

¹⁸ary ny vano sy ny vanobe, samy araka ny karazany avy, ary ny takidara sy ny manavy.

¹⁹And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.

¹⁹Ary ny zava-mandady rehetra izay manana elatra dia haloto aminareo ka tsy ho fihinanareo.

²⁰But of all clean fowls ye may eat.

²⁰Ny zava-manana elatra izay madio no ho fihinanareo.

²¹Ye shall not eat of anything 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.

²¹Aza homana izay maty ho azy, fa omeo ho an'ny vahiny izay ao an-tanànanao izany mba hohaniny, na amidio amin'ny olona hafa firenena; fa firenena masina ho an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao. Aza mahandro zanak'osy amin'ny rononon-dreniny.

²²Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.

²²[Ny amin'ny fandoavana ny fahafolon-karena] Aloavy tsara ny ampahafolon'ny vokatra rehetra avy amin'ny voa nafafinao, dia ny vokatra any an-tsaha isan-taona;

²³And 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.

²³dia aoka ho eo anatrehan'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao eo amin'ny tany izany hofidiny hampitoerany ny anarany no hihinananao ny ampahafolon'ny varinao sy ny ranom-boalobokao sy ny diloilonao ary ny voalohan-teraky ny ombinao sy ny ondry aman'osinao, mba hianaranao hatahotra an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao mandrakariva.

²⁴And 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:

²⁴Fa raha lavitra loatra ny lalana halehanao ka tsy mahatondra izany zavatra izany ianao, satria lavitra anao loatra ny tany izay hofidin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao hampitoerany ny anarany, raha notahin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao,

²⁵Then 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:

²⁵dia hamidinao vola izany, ary hofonosinao ny vola ka ho entinao eo an-tananao hankany amin'ny tany izay hofidin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao;

²⁶And 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,

²⁶ary ny vola dia amidio izay rehetra tian'ny fanahinao, na omby, na ondry, na osy, na divay, na toaka, na izay zavatra hafa tian'ny fanahinao; ary aoka ho eo anatrehan'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao no hihinananao izany sy hifalianao mbamin'ny ankohonanao;

²⁷And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.

²⁷ary ny Levita izay ao an-tanànanao dia aza foinao; fa tsy manana anjara na lova eo aminao izy.

²⁸At 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:

²⁸Ary isan-telo taona dia alao ny ampahafolon'ny vokatrao rehetra amin'izany taona izany, ka ataovy ao an-tanànanao;ary dia aoka ho avy ny Levita (satria tsy mba manana anjara na lova eo aminao izy) sy ny vahiny sy ny kamboty ary ny mpitondratena izay ao an-tanànanao, dia hihinana izy ka ho voky, mba hotahin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao amin'ny asan-tananao rehetra izay ataonao.

²⁹And 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.

²⁹ary dia aoka ho avy ny Levita (satria tsy mba manana anjara na lova eo aminao izy) sy ny vahiny sy ny kamboty ary ny mpitondratena izay ao an-tanànanao, dia hihinana izy ka ho voky, mba hotahin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao amin'ny asan-tananao rehetra izay ataonao.
