Levitiko 11
1 Yehova anayankhula ndi Mose ndi Aaroni kuti,
And the LORD 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 beasts which ye may eat among all the beasts that [are] on the earth.
3 Nyama iliyonse imene ili ndi chipondero chogawikana pakati ndi yobzikula mukhoza kudya.
Whatever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, [and] cheweth the cud among the beasts, that shall ye 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 shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean to you.
5 Ina ndi mbira, ngakhale imabzikula, zipondero zake nʼzosagawikana. Choncho ndi yodetsedwa, musadye.
And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean to you.
6 Inanso ndi kalulu, ngakhale amabzikula, zipondero zake nʼzosagawikana. Choncho ndi wodetsedwa, musadye.
And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof: he [is] unclean to you.
7 Nkhumba simabzikula ngakhale ili ndi zipondero zogawikana. Choncho ndi yodetsedwa, musadye.
And the swine, though he divideth the hoof, and [is] cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he [is] unclean to you.
8 Musamadye nyama yake kapena kukhudza imene yafa chifukwa ndi yodetsedwa.
Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye 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 shall ye eat, of all that [are] in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye 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.
And all that have not fins nor scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living animal which [is] in the waters, they [shall be] an abomination to you:
11 Pakuti zimenezi ndi zodetsedwa kwa inu, nyama yake musadye, ndipo zikafa zikhalebe zodetsedwa kwa inu.
They shall be even an abomination to you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcasses in abomination.
12 Chamoyo chilichonse cha mʼmadzi chimene chilibe minga ya pa msana kapena mamba ndi chodetsedwa kwa inu.
Whatever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that [shall be] an abomination to you.
13 “‘Mbalame zimene simukuyenera kudya chifukwa ndi zodetsedwa ndi izi: mphungu, nkhwazi, mwimba,
And these [are they which] ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they [are] an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
14 nankapakapa, akamtema a mitundu yonse,
And the vultur, and the kite after his kind;
15 akhungubwi a mitundu yonse,
Every raven after his kind;
16 kadzidzi wamphondo, kadzidzi wodzuma, chipudo ndi mtundu uliwonse wa akabawi
And the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
17 kadzidzi wamngʼono, chiswankhono ndi mantchichi,
And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 tsekwe, vuwo, dembo,
And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier-eagle,
19 indwa, zimeza za mitundu yonse, nsadzu ndi mleme.
And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20 “‘Zowuluka zonse za miyendo inayi ndi zodetsedwa.
All fowls that creep, going upon [all] four, [shall be] an abomination to you.
21 Komabe mwa zowuluka zokhala ndi miyendo inayi zimene mukhoza kudya ndi zokhazo zimene zili ndi miyendo yolumphira.
Yet these may ye eat, of every flying creeping animal that goeth upon [all] four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with upon 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] these of them ye may eat; the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.
23 Koma za mapiko zina zonse zokhala ndi miyendo inayi muzitenge kukhala zodetsedwa kwa inu.
But all [other] flying creeping animals, which have four feet, [shall be] an abomination to you.
24 “‘Zimenezi zidzakudetsani. Aliyense wozikhudza zitafa adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
And for these ye shall be unclean: whoever toucheth 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.
And whoever beareth [aught] of the carcass of them 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.
[The carcasses] of every beast which divideth the hoof, and [is] not cloven-footed, nor cheweth the cud, [are] unclean to you: every one that toucheth 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.
And whatever goeth upon its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on [all] four, those [are] unclean to you: whoever toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
28 Aliyense wonyamula nyamazi zitafa ayenera kuchapa zovala zake, ndipo adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo. Zimenezi ndi zodetsedwa kwa inu.
And he that beareth the carcass of them 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 also [shall be] unclean to you among the creeping animals that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise, after its kind,
30 gondwa, mngʼazi, buluzi, dududu ndi nanzikambe.
And the ferret and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
31 Mwa nyama zonse zoyenda pansi, zimenezi ndi zodetsedwa kwa inu. Munthu aliyense wozikhudza zitafa adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
These [are] unclean to you among all that creep: whoever doth touch 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.
And upon whatever [any] of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether [it is] any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel [it is], in which [any] work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.
33 Tsono nyama ina iliyonse mwa zimenezi ikagwera mʼmbiya ya dothi, ndiye kuti chilichonse cha mʼmbiyamo chidzakhala chodetsedwa, ndipo muyenera kuswa mbiyayo.
And every earthen vessel, into which [any] of them falleth, whatever [is] in it shall be unclean; and ye 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.
Of all meat which may be eaten, [that] on which [such] water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drank 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.
And every [thing] on which [any part] of their carcass falleth, shall be unclean; [whether] an oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: [for] 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 fountain or pit, [in which there is] plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.
37 Chiwalo chilichonse cha nyama yakufayo chikagwera pa mbewu zimene akuti adzale, mbewu zimenezo zidzakhalabe zabwino.
And if [any part] of their carcass shall fall upon any sowing-seed which is to be sown, it [shall be] clean.
38 Koma mbewuzo zikakhala zonyowa ndi madzi, ndipo chiwalo chilichonse cha nyama zakufazo chikagwera pa mbewuzo, mbewuzo zikhale zodetsedwa kwa inu.
But if [any] water shall be put upon the seed, and [any part] of their carcass shall fall on it, it [shall be] unclean to you.
39 “‘Ngati nyama imene mumaloledwa kudya yafa yokha, ndiye kuti aliyense wokhudza nyama yakufayo adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
And if any beast, of which ye may eat, shall die; he that toucheth 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.
And he that eateth of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; he also that beareth its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
41 “‘Chinthu chilichonse chokwawa pansi ndi chonyansa, simuyenera kudya.
And every creeping animal that creepeth upon the earth [shall be] 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 goeth upon the belly, and whatever goeth upon [all] four, or whatever hath more feet among all creeping animals that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they [are] an abomination.
43 Musadzisandutse nokha odetsedwa ndi chokwawa chilichonse. Musadziyipitse nazo, kuti mukhale odetsedwa.
Ye shall not make your selves abominable with any creeping animal that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled by them.
44 Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu, choncho dziyeretseni kuti mukhale woyera, chifukwa Ine ndine woyera. Musadzisandutse odetsedwa ndi chokwawa chilichonse.
For I [am] the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I [am] holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping animal that creepeth upon the earth.
45 Ine ndine Yehova amene ndinakutulutsani ku Igupto kuti ndikhale Mulungu wanu. Tsono mukhale woyera, chifukwa Ine ndine woyera.
For I [am] the LORD that bringeth you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye 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 beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth;
47 Muzisiyanitsa pakati pa chodetsedwa ndi choyeretsedwa, komanso pakati pa zomwe mutha kudya ndi zomwe simuyenera kudya.’”
To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
