1
Filii estote Domini Dei vestri: non vos incidetis, nec facietis calvitium super mortuo:
1
Be ye children of the Lord your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness for the dead;
1
Learn to carry yourselves as the children of the Lord your God. Do not dis-figure yourselves or shave your heads bare when a man dies,
2
quoniam populus sanctus es Domino Deo tuo, et te elegit ut sis ei in populum peculiarem de cunctis gentibus, quæ sunt super terram.
2
Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God: and he chose thee to be his peculiar people of all nations that are upon the earth.
2
you, a people set apart for the Lord, chosen out of all nations on earth to be his very own.
3
Ne comedatis quæ immunda sunt.
3
Eat not the things that are unclean.
3
Do not eat any food which brings defilement.
4
Hoc est animal quod comedere debetis: bovem, et ovem, et capram,
4
These are the beasts that you shall eat, the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,
4
You may eat such beasts as the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5
cervum et capream, bubalum, tragelaphum, pygargum, orygem, camelopardalum.

6
Omne animal, quod in duas partes findit ungulam, et ruminat, comedetis.
6
Every beast that divideth the hoof in two parts, and cheweth the cud, you shall eat.
6
any creature which has cloven hoofs and chews the cud.
7
De his autem, quæ ruminant, et ungulam non findunt, comedere non debetis, ut camelum, leporem, chœrogryllum: hæc, quia ruminant et non dividunt ungulam, immunda erunt vobis.
7
But of them that chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, you shall not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the cherogril: because they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, they shall be unclean to you.
7
You must not eat those which have the hoofs single, even though they chew the cud; the camel and the hare and the rock-rabbit, and all other ruminants that do not divide the hoof, you must count unclean.
8
Sus quoque, quoniam dividat ungulam et non ruminat, immunda erit. Carnibus eorum non vescemini, et cadavera non tangetis.
8
The swine also, because it divideth the hoof, but cheweth not the cud, shall be unclean, their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.
8
And the sow, which has cloven hoofs but does not chew the cud, is also unclean; you must not eat the flesh of such beasts, or touch their carcases.

Hæc comedetis ex omnibus quæ morantur in aquis: quæ habent pinnulas et squamas, comedite:
9
These shall you eat of all that abide in the waters: All that have fins and scales, you shall eat.
9
Among the creatures that live in water, you may eat those that have fins and scales;
10
quæ absque pinnulis et squamis sunt, ne comedatis, quia immunda sunt.
10
Such as are without fins and scales, you shall not eat, because they are unclean.
10
whatever lacks fins and scales is unclean, not for your eating.
11
Omnes aves mundas comedite.
11
All birds that are clean you shall eat.
11
There are birds you may eat without fear of defilement;
12
Immundas ne comedatis: aquilam scilicet, et gryphem, et haliæetum,
12
The unclean eat not: to wit, the eagle, and the grype, and the osprey,
12
others which you must avoid as unclean, eagle and griffon and osprey,

20
All that is clean, you shall eat.
20
Any meat that is not unclean may be used for food,
21
Quidquid autem morticinum est, ne vescamini ex eo. Peregrino, qui intra portas tuas est, da ut comedat, aut vende ei: quia tu populus sanctus Domini Dei tui es. Non coques hædum in lacte matris suæ.
21
But whatsoever is dead of itself, eat not thereof. Give it to the stranger, that is within thy gates, to eat, or sell it to him: because thou art the holy people of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.
21
except what has fallen dead; make a present of this to some neighbour, not of Israel’s race, or sell it to an alien, it is not for your eating, a people set apart for the Lord your God.Seething a kid in its dam’s milk is a rite forbidden thee.
22
Decimam partem separabis de cunctis fructibus tuis qui nascuntur in terra per annos singulos,
22
Every year thou shalt set aside the tithes of all thy fruits that the earth bringeth forth,
22
Every year, thou wilt set apart a tenth of all the crops thy land yields,
23
et comedes in conspectu Domini Dei tui in loco quem elegerit, ut in eo nomen illius invocetur, decimam frumenti tui, et vini, et olei, et primogenita de armentis et ovibus tuis: ut discas timere Dominum Deum tuum omni tempore.
23
And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, that his name may be called upon therein, the tithe of thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, and the firstborn of thy herds and thy sheep: that thou mayst learn to fear the Lord thy God at all times.
23
and come to the place the Lord thy God has chosen for the sanctuary of his name, to feast on it there in his presence; a tenth part of thy corn and wine and oil, and the first-fruits of thy herds and flocks; so thou wilt learn to fear the Lord thy God continually.
24
Cum autem longior fuerit via, et locus quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, tibique benedixerit, nec potueris ad eum hæc cuncta portare,
24
But when the way and the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, are far off, and he hath blessed thee, and thou canst not carry all these things thither,
24
But perhaps the journey will be too long, the place which he has chosen too far distant, and the load too great, so bountiful has the Lord thy God been to thee.
25
vendes omnia, et in pretium rediges, portabisque manu tua, et proficisceris ad locum quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus:
25
Thou shalt sell them all, and turn them into money, and shalt carry it in thy hand, and shalt go to the place which the Lord shall choose:
25
Why then, sell all this tithe of thine, and bring the proceeds of the sale with thee to the place he has chosen.
26
et emes ex eadem pecunia quidquid tibi placuerit, sive ex armentis, sive ex ovibus, vinum quoque et siceram, et omne quod desiderat anima tua: et comedes coram Domino Deo tuo, et epulaberis tu et domus tua:
26
And thou shalt buy with the same money whatsoever pleaseth thee, either of the herds or of sheep, wine also and strong drink, and all that thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, and shalt feast, thou and thy house:
26
With this money thou mayst buy all thou wilt, oxen and sheep, wine and mead, to thy heart’s content; and on these thou shalt feast in the presence of the Lord, thou and all thy household making good cheer together,
27
et Levites qui intra portas tuas est, cave ne derelinquas eum, quia non habet aliam partem in possessione tua.
27
And the Levite that is within thy gates, beware thou forsake him not, because he hath no other part in thy possession.
27
and the Levite, too, that dwells in thy city; do not neglect the Levite, that has no part or lot such as thou hast.
28
Anno tertio separabis aliam decimam ex omnibus quæ nascuntur tibi eo tempore, et repones intra januas tuas.
28
The third year thou shalt separate another tithe of all things that grow to thee at that time, and shalt lay it up within thy gates.
28
Every third year, thou wilt set apart a fresh tithe of all the revenue thou then hast, and lay it by at home,
29
Venietque Levites qui aliam non habet partem nec possessionem tecum, et peregrinus ac pupillus et vidua, qui intra portas tuas sunt, et comedent et saturabuntur: ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in cunctis operibus manuum tuarum quæ feceris.
29
And the Levite that hath no other part nor possession with thee, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come and shall eat and be filled: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands that thou shalt do.
29
so that the Levite, who has no part or lot such as thou hast, and the wanderer and the orphan and the widow that are thy fellow-citizens, may eat and have their fill. So, to whatever employment thou dost turn thy hand, the blessing of the Lord thy God shall be with thee.
