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.

¹`Sons ye [are] to Jehovah your God; ye do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness between your eyes for the dead;

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

²for a holy people [art] thou to Jehovah thy God, and on thee hath Jehovah fixed to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.

³Aza mihinana izay fahavetavetana.

³`Thou dost not eat any abominable thing;

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

⁴`this [is] the beast which ye do eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,

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

⁵hart, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and pygarg, and wild ox, and chamois;

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

⁶and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hoofs, bringing up the cud, among the beasts — it ye do eat.

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;

⁷`Only, this ye do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit, for they are bringing up the cud but the hoof have not divided; unclean they [are] to you;

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.

⁸and the sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not [bringing] up the cud, unclean it [is] to you; of their flesh ye do not eat, and against their carcase ye do not come.

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

⁹`This ye do eat of all that [are] in the waters; all that hath fins and scales ye do eat;

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

¹⁰and anything which hath not fins and scales ye do not eat; unclean it [is] to you.

¹¹Ny vorona madio rehetra no ho fihinanareo.

¹¹`Any clean bird ye do eat;

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

¹²and these [are] they of which ye do not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

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

¹³and the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after its kind,

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

¹⁴and every raven after its kind;

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

¹⁵and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its kind;

¹⁶ary ny vorondolo sy ny vorondolo lehibe sy ny ibisa

¹⁶the [little] owl, and the [great] owl, and the swan,

¹⁷ary ny sama sy ny voltora madinika sy ny manarana

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

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

¹⁸and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the lapwing, and the bat;

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

¹⁹and every teeming thing which is flying, unclean it [is] to you; they are not eaten;

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

²⁰any clean fowl ye do eat.

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.

²¹`Ye do not eat of any carcase; to the sojourner who [is] within thy gates thou dost give it, and he hath eaten it; or sell [it] to a stranger; for a holy people thou [art] to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in its mother`s milk.

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;

²²`Thou dost certainly tithe all the increase of thy seed which the field is bringing forth year by year;

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.

²³and thou hast eaten before Jehovah thy God, in the place where He doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle, the tithe of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd, and of thy flock, so that thou dost learn to fear Jehovah thy God all the days.

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,

²⁴`And when the way is too much for thee, that thou art not able to carry it — when the place is too far off from thee which Jehovah thy God doth choose to put His name there, when Jehovah thy God doth bless thee; —

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

²⁵then thou hast given [it] in money, and hast bound up the money in thy hand, and gone unto the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix;

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;

²⁶and thou hast given the money for any thing which thy soul desireth, for oxen, and for sheep, and for wine, and for strong drink, and for any thing which thy soul asketh, and thou hast eaten there before Jehovah thy God, and thou hast rejoiced, thou and thy house.

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

²⁷As to the Levite who [is] within thy gates, thou dost not forsake him, for he hath no portion and inheritance with thee.

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.

²⁸`At the end of three years thou dost bring out all the tithe of thine increase in that year, and hast placed [it] within thy gates;

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.

²⁹and come in hath the Levite (for he hath no part and inheritance with thee), and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within thy gates, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, so that Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou dost.
