Levitiko 11
1 Yehova anayankhula ndi Mose ndi Aaroni kuti,
Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2 “Awuze Aisraeli kuti, ‘Nyama zomwe mukhoza kudya mwa nyama zonse za dziko lapansi ndi izi:
"Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
3 Nyama iliyonse imene ili ndi chipondero chogawikana pakati ndi yobzikula mukhoza kudya.
Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.
4 “‘Koma pali nyama zina zimene zimabzikula kokha kapena ndi zogawikana zipondero zimene simukuyenera kudya. Nyama zimenezi ndi ngamira, ngakhale imabzikula ilibe zipondero zogawikana. Choncho ndi yodetsedwa, musadye.
"'Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.
5 Ina ndi mbira, ngakhale imabzikula, zipondero zake nʼzosagawikana. Choncho ndi yodetsedwa, musadye.
The coney, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.
6 Inanso ndi kalulu, ngakhale amabzikula, zipondero zake nʼzosagawikana. Choncho ndi wodetsedwa, musadye.
The hare, because she chews the cud but doesn't part the hoof, she is unclean to you.
7 Nkhumba simabzikula ngakhale ili ndi zipondero zogawikana. Choncho ndi yodetsedwa, musadye.
The pig, because he has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn't chew the cud, he is unclean to you.
8 Musamadye nyama yake kapena kukhudza imene yafa chifukwa ndi yodetsedwa.
Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.
9 “‘Mwa zamoyo zonse zimene zimakhala mʼmadzi a mʼnyanja ndi a mʼmitsinje mukhoza kudya chilichonse chimene chili ndi minga ya pa msana ndi mamba.
"'These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.
10 Koma zamoyo zonse za mʼnyanja kapena za mʼmitsinje zimene zilibe minga ya pa msana ndi mamba, kaya ndi tizirombo tonse ta mʼmadzi ndi zamoyo zonse zopezeka mʼmenemo ndi zodetsedwa kwa inu.
All that do not have fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,
11 Pakuti zimenezi ndi zodetsedwa kwa inu, nyama yake musadye, ndipo zikafa zikhalebe zodetsedwa kwa inu.
and you detest them. You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses.
12 Chamoyo chilichonse cha mʼmadzi chimene chilibe minga ya pa msana kapena mamba ndi chodetsedwa kwa inu.
Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you.
13 “‘Mbalame zimene simukuyenera kudya chifukwa ndi zodetsedwa ndi izi: mphungu, nkhwazi, mwimba,
"'These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture,
14 nankapakapa, akamtema a mitundu yonse,
and the red kite, any kind of black kite,
15 akhungubwi a mitundu yonse,
any kind of raven,
16 kadzidzi wamphondo, kadzidzi wodzuma, chipudo ndi mtundu uliwonse wa akabawi
the horned owl, the screech owl, and the gull, any kind of hawk,
17 kadzidzi wamngʼono, chiswankhono ndi mantchichi,
the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
18 tsekwe, vuwo, dembo,
the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
19 indwa, zimeza za mitundu yonse, nsadzu ndi mleme.
the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 “‘Zowuluka zonse za miyendo inayi ndi zodetsedwa.
"'All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.
21 Komabe mwa zowuluka zokhala ndi miyendo inayi zimene mukhoza kudya ndi zokhazo zimene zili ndi miyendo yolumphira.
Yet you may eat these: of all winged crawling creatures that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth.
22 Pa zimenezo mungathe kudya izi: dzombe la mitundu yonse, atsokonombwe a mitundu yonse, nkhululu za mitundu yonse, ndi ziwala za mitundu yonse.
Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.
23 Koma za mapiko zina zonse zokhala ndi miyendo inayi muzitenge kukhala zodetsedwa kwa inu.
But all winged crawling creatures which have four feet, are an abomination to you.
24 “‘Zimenezi zidzakudetsani. Aliyense wozikhudza zitafa adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
"'By these you will become unclean: whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.
25 Aliyense wonyamula chiwalo chilichonse cha nyama zakufazo ayenera kuchapa zovala zake, ndipo adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
26 “‘Nyama iliyonse imene ili ndi ziboda zogawikana koma mapazi ake wosagawikana, kapena imene sibzikula muyiyese yodetsedwa kwa inu ndipo munthu aliyense akakhudza nyama yakufayo, adzakhala wodetsedwa.
"'Every animal which parts the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
27 Mwa nyama zonse zoyenda ndi miyendo inayi, nyama zonse zokhala ndi zikhadabo kuphazi muzitenge kukhala zodetsedwa ndipo aliyense wozikhudza zitafa adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.
29 “‘Mwa nyama zokwawa, zimene zili zodetsedwa kwa inu ndi izi: likongwe, mbewa, msambulu za mitundu yonse,
"'These are they which are unclean to you among the creatures that crawl on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,
30 gondwa, mngʼazi, buluzi, dududu ndi nanzikambe.
the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.
31 Mwa nyama zonse zoyenda pansi, zimenezi ndi zodetsedwa kwa inu. Munthu aliyense wozikhudza zitafa adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
These are they which are unclean to you among all that crawl. Whoever touches them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
32 Iliyonse mwa nyama zimenezi ikafa ndi kugwera pa chiwiya chilichonse, kaya chimagwira ntchito yotani, kaya ndi chopangidwa ndi mtengo, kaya ndi cha nsalu, kaya ndi cha chikopa kapena chiguduli chiwiyacho chidzakhala chodetsedwa. Muchiviyike mʼmadzi chiwiyacho komabe chidzakhala chodetsedwa mpaka madzulo, ndipo kenaka chidzakhala choyeretsedwa.
On whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it will be clean.
33 Tsono nyama ina iliyonse mwa zimenezi ikagwera mʼmbiya ya dothi, ndiye kuti chilichonse cha mʼmbiyamo chidzakhala chodetsedwa, ndipo muyenera kuswa mbiyayo.
Every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.
34 Chakudya chilichonse chimene mungadye chikakhala kuti chathiridwa mʼmbiyamo, ndiye kuti chakudyacho chidzakhala chodetsedwa, ndipo madzi akumwa wochokera mʼmbiya zotere ndi wodetsedwa.
All food which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
35 Chiwalo chilichonse cha nyama yakufa chikagwera pa chinthu chilichonse kaya pa uvuni, kapena pa mʼphika, ndiye kuti zinthuzo zidzakhala zodetsedwa, ndipo ziphwanyidwe popeza ndi zodetsedwa.
Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
36 Koma kasupe kapena chitsime chamadzi chidzakhala choyeretsedwa ngakhale kuti chilichonse chokhudza nyama yakufayo chidzakhala chodetsedwa. Zimenezi muzitenge kukhala zodetsedwa.
Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is a gathered shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37 Chiwalo chilichonse cha nyama yakufayo chikagwera pa mbewu zimene akuti adzale, mbewu zimenezo zidzakhalabe zabwino.
If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
38 Koma mbewuzo zikakhala zonyowa ndi madzi, ndipo chiwalo chilichonse cha nyama zakufazo chikagwera pa mbewuzo, mbewuzo zikhale zodetsedwa kwa inu.
But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
39 “‘Ngati nyama imene mumaloledwa kudya yafa yokha, ndiye kuti aliyense wokhudza nyama yakufayo adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
"'If any animal, of which you may eat, dies; he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
40 Aliyense amene adyako nyama yakufayo achape zovala zake, ndipo adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo. Aliyense amene wanyamula nyama yakufayo ayenera kuchapa zovala zake, ndipo adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
41 “‘Chinthu chilichonse chokwawa pansi ndi chonyansa, simuyenera kudya.
"'Every swarming thing that swarms on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.
42 Musadye chilichonse chokwawa pansi, choyenda chamimba kapena choyenda ndi miyendo inayi kapenanso yambiri popeza ndi chodetsedwa.
Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creatures that crawl on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
43 Musadzisandutse nokha odetsedwa ndi chokwawa chilichonse. Musadziyipitse nazo, kuti mukhale odetsedwa.
You shall not make yourselves abominable with any crawling creature that crawls, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby.
44 Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu, choncho dziyeretseni kuti mukhale woyera, chifukwa Ine ndine woyera. Musadzisandutse odetsedwa ndi chokwawa chilichonse.
For I am Jehovah your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any kind of crawling creature that moves on the earth.
45 Ine ndine Yehova amene ndinakutulutsani ku Igupto kuti ndikhale Mulungu wanu. Tsono mukhale woyera, chifukwa Ine ndine woyera.
For I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46 “‘Amenewa ndi malamulo onena za nyama, mbalame, chamoyo chilichonse choyenda mʼmadzi ndiponso chamoyo chilichonse chokwawa.
"'This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that crawls on the earth,
47 Muzisiyanitsa pakati pa chodetsedwa ndi choyeretsedwa, komanso pakati pa zomwe mutha kudya ndi zomwe simuyenera kudya.’”
to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.'"
