“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, This [is] the beast which you eat out of all the beasts which [are] on the earth:

Only, this you do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the hoof: the camel, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof is not dividing—it [is] unclean to you;

5 Saphih he khaw caknaih a naih dae a khomae a rhak pawt dongah nangmih ham rhalawt.

and the hyrax, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof is not divided—it [is] unclean to you;

and the hare, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof has not divided—it [is] unclean to you;

7 Ok he a khomae rhak tih a khomae dongkah a khorhaek thal dae caknaih a naih pawt dongah nangmih ham rhalawt.

and the sow, though it is dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoof, yet it does not bring up the cud—it [is] unclean to you.

You do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass—they [are] unclean to you.

This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the brooks, them you eat;

10 Tedae tuitunli dongkah khaw, soklong kah khaw, tui dongkah rhulcai boeih neh tui khuikah aka hing hinglu boeih khuiah a phae neh a lip aka om pawt boeih te nangmih ham konawhnah ni.

and anything that does not have fins and scales in the seas, and in the brooks, of any teeming creature of the waters, and of any creature which lives, which [is] in the waters—they [are] an abomination to you;

12 A phae khaw, a lip khaw a khueh mueh la tui dongah aka om boeih te nangmih ham konawhnah ni.

Anything that does not have fins and scales in the waters—it [is] an abomination to you.

every raven after its kind,

Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four [legs]—it [is] an abomination to you.

Only, this you eat of any teeming thing which is flying, which is going on four, which has legs above its feet, to move with them on the earth;

these of them you eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind;

23 Tedae vaa bangla om tih a kho pali aka khueh rhulcai boeih tah nangmih ham konawhnah ni.

and every teeming thing which is flying, which has four feet—it [is] an abomination to you.

24 A rhok aka ben boeih tah te nen te na poeih uh ni. Amih te kholaeh duela a poeih ni.

And you are made unclean by these; anyone who is coming against their carcass is unclean until the evening;

25 A rhok aka phuei boeih long khaw a himbai te til saeh. Anih te kholaeh duela poeih uh ni.

and anyone who is lifting up of their carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening—

26 Rhamsa boeih khaw a khomae rhak tih a khorhaek aka thal pawt neh caknaih aka naih pawt tah nangmih ham rhalawt. Te te aka ben boeih tah poeih uh ni.

even every beast which is dividing the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, and is not bringing up the cud—they [are] unclean to you; anyone who is coming against them is unclean.

And this [is] the unclean to you among the teeming things which are teeming on the earth: the weasel, and the muroid, and the tortoise [[or large lizard]] after its kind,

and the gecko [[or ferret]], and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole;

31 Rhulcai boeih khuiah nangmih ham aka rhalawt rhoek te a duek vaengah aka ben boeih khaw kholaeh duela poeih uh ni.

these [are] the unclean to you among all which are teeming; anyone who is coming against them in their death is unclean until the evening.

And anything on which anyone of them falls, in their death, is unclean, of any vessel of wood or garment or skin or sack, any vessel in which work is done is brought into water, and has been unclean until the evening, then it has been clean;

33 Tedae amih khuikah te lai umam khat khat khuila a tlak atah a khui neh a khui kah boeih khaw a poeih dongah rhek dae uh laeh.

and any earthen vessel, into the midst of which [any] one of them falls, all that [is] in its midst is unclean, and you break it.

And when any of the beasts which are for food for you dies, he who is coming against its carcass is unclean until the evening;

40 A rhok aka ca tah a himbai te til saeh. Anih khaw hlaem duela poeih uh ni. A rhok aka phuei te khaw a himbai te til saeh. Hlaem due la poeih uh ni. Diklai

and he who is eating of its carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening; and he who is lifting up its carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening.

And every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth is an abomination, it is not eaten;

anything going on the belly, and any going on four, to every multiplier of feet, to every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth—you do not eat them, for they [are] an abomination;

43 Aka luem rhulcai boeih neh na hinglu te rhun uh boeh. Amih nen khaw poeih uh boel lamtah amih long khaw nang m'poeih uh boel saeh.

you do not make yourselves abominable with any teeming thing which is teeming, nor do you make yourselves unclean with them, so that you have been unclean with them.

44 Kai tah nangmih Pathen BOEIPA ni. Te dongah ciim uh lamtah ka cim bangla a cim la om uh. Te dongah diklai kah aka colh rhulcai boeih dongah na hinglu te poeih uh boeh.

For I [am] your God YHWH, and you have sanctified yourselves, and you have been holy, for I [am] holy; and you do not defile your persons with any teeming thing which is creeping on the earth;

45 Nangmih kah Pathen la om ham Egypt khohmuen lamloh nangmih aka khuen khaw BOEIPA kamah ni. Te dongah kai ka cim bangla a cim la om uh.

for I [am] YHWH who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt to become your God; and you have been holy, for I [am] holy.

46 He tah rhamsa neh vaa, tui dongkah aka hing tih aka colh hinglu boeih neh diklai dongkah aka luem hinglu boeih ham,

This [is] a law of the beasts, and of the bird, and of every living creature which is moving in the waters, and of every creature which is teeming on the earth,

47 rhalawt laklo neh cuemcaih laklo ah, caak ham mulhing laklo neh caak koi pawh mulhing laklo ah paekboe ham olkhueng ni,” a ti nah.

to make separation between the unclean and the pure, and between the beast that is eaten, and the beast that is not eaten.”
