Tim Jo-Lawi 11

1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni Musa gi Harun niya,

And Jehovah spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,

2 “Nyis jo-Israel niya, ‘Kuom le duto manie piny, magi ema unyalo chamo:

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

3 Unyalo chamo kit le moro amora ma ombongʼ tiendegi opogore ariyo kendo manyamo kambula.

Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, [and] cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.

4 “‘Nitie moko manyamo kambula kende kata moko ma ombongʼ tiendegi kende ema opogore ariyo, mago to kik ucham. Ngamia kata obedo ni onyamo kambula kamano, to nikech ombongʼ tiende ok opogore, chik ok oyieni mondo uchame nikech ogak.

Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that part the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.

5 Aidha kata obedo ni onyamo kambula to ombongʼ tiende ok opogore, kik uchame nikech ok oler.

And the coney, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.

6 Apwoyo kata obedoni onyamo kambula kamano, to ombongʼ tiende ok opogore, chik ok oyienu mondo uchamgi nikech gin gik makwero.

And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you.

7 Kata obedo ni ombongʼ tiend anguro opogore ariyo kamano, to ok onyam kambula; chik ok oyienu mondo uchamgi nikech gin gik makwero.

And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.

8 Kik ucham ring-gi kata kik umul ringregi motho. Gin gik makwero ne un.

Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you.

9 “‘To kuom gik moko duto modakie nam gi aore to unyalo chamo mana mago man kod thuokgi kod kalagakla.

These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that may ye eat.

10 To gik moko duto manie nam gi aore maonge gi thuokgi kata kalagakla, bed nigimol kata gin achiel kuom gik mangima modak ei pi nyaka ukwer.

And all that have not 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 unto you,

11 Nikech gin gik makwero, kik ucham ring-gi bende kik umul motho kendgi.

and they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination.

12 Gimoro amora modak ei pi to gionge thuokgi kata kalagakla nyaka gibednu gik makwero.

Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination unto you.

13 “‘Winy manyaka ukwer kendo kik ucham e magi: Ongo, achuth gi olith

And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the gier-eagle, and the ospray,

14 gi otenga kod kit otenga duto,

and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,

15 gi kit agak duto,

every raven after its kind,

16 tula, nyatawo gi okok kod kit olith duto

and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kind,

17 tula matin, gi osou, gi tula maduongʼ,

and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

18 gi tula marachar gi tula modak e thim gi mbusi,

and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the vulture,

19 gi nyamnaha gi ngʼangʼa, tula kod olik tiga.

and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

20 “‘Kute duto mafuyo kendo mawuotho gi tiende angʼwen nobednu gik makwero.

All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination unto you.

21 Kata kamano, nitiere kute moko ma unyalo chamo man-gi tiende angʼwen kod mago ma gichikorego.

Yet these may ye eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth;

22 Kuom mano unyalo chamo kit bonyo, osialo gi kit onjiri kaachiel gi kit ongogo duto.

even these of them ye may 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 To gik moko duto mafuyo kod mago man-gi tiende angʼwen, nobednu gik makwero.

But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination unto you.

24 “‘Gik makamagi biro miyo ubed mogak, kendo ngʼato angʼata momulo ring chiayo motho kendeno nobed mogak nyaka odhiambo.

And by these ye shall become unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the even;

25 Ngʼata angʼata motingʼo ring chiayo mothono nyaka luok lepe, kendo en bende obiro bedo mogak nyaka odhiambo.

and whosoever beareth [aught] of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

26 “‘Le moro amora ma ombongʼne ok obarore duto kata ma ok nyam kambula nobednu gima kwero, kendo ngʼato angʼata momulo ring-gino nobed mogak.

Every beast which parteth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

27 To kuom le duto mawuotho gi tiende angʼwen, mago mawuotho kanyono piny gi kokegi nobednu mogak, kendo ngʼato angʼata momulo ring-gi nobed mogak nyaka odhiambo.

And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even.

28 Ngʼato angʼata motingʼo ring chiayogo motho nyaka luok lepe kendo nobed mogak nyaka odhiambo. Nikech le ma kamago gin le mogak.

And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.

29 “‘Le mogak manyaka ukwer e magi: oyieyo, oyiech gudhugudhu, ngʼech moro amora maduongʼ kata matindo,

And these are they which are unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,

30 gi ogwe gi kalagwena gi olele gi obongo-bongo kod ongʼongruok.

and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.

31 Gigi duto nobednu makwero kendo ngʼato angʼata ma omulogi ka gisetho nobed mogak nyaka chop seche mag odhiambo.

These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.

32 Kaponi achiel kuom legi otho kendo molwar kuom gimoro amora mwakonyorego pile, to gino koro nobed mogak, bedni en gima olos gi yien, kata en law, kata pien kata ogunia. Gino koro nyaka nyum ei pi kendo nobed mogak nyaka chop seche mag odhiambo, eka bangʼe nobed maler.

And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherewith any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.

33 Kaachiel kuomgi olwar ei agulu, gik moko duto man ei aguluno nobed mogak, kendo nyaka uto aguluno.

And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break.

34 Chiemo moro amora minyalo cham moole pi moaye aguluno nobed mogak, kendo gimoro amora mimadho mowuok ei aguluno nobed mogak.

All food [therein] which may be eaten, that on which water cometh, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every [such] vessel shall be unclean.

35 Gimoro amora ma gima othono orere nobed mogak; ka orere kuom kendo kata kuom aguch kendo, to nyaka mukgi oko nikech gin gik mogak kendo nyaka kwan-gi kamano.

And every thing whereupon [any part] of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.

36 Kata kamano soko kata yawo motingʼo pi nosik ka ler, to ngʼato angʼata momulo gimoro amora motho nobed mogak.

Nevertheless a fountain or a pit wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.

37 Kaponi achiel kuom gik mothogo olwar kuom kodhi mipidho, to kodhigo nosik ka ler,

And if [aught] of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.

38 to ka kodhigo gin mosebudi e pi, mi gimoro amora motho olwarie, to nobed mogak.

But if water be put upon the seed, and [aught] of their carcass fall thereon, it is unclean unto you.

39 “‘Ka le moyienu chamo otho, to ngʼato angʼata momule nobed mogak nyaka chop seche mag odhiambo.

And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even.

40 Ngʼato angʼata mochamo ringʼono nyaka luok lepe, kendo enobed mogak nyaka chop seche mag odhiambo. Kata ngʼato angʼata motingʼo chiayono bende nyaka luok lepe, bende nosik mogak nyaka chop seche mag odhiambo.

And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

41 “‘Gimoro amora mamol kik ucham nikech gin gik makwero.

And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

42 Kik ucham gimoro amora malak gi bund-igi kata mawuotho gi tiende angʼwen kata man-gi tiende mathoth nikech gin gik makwero.

Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

43 Kik gigi mi ubed mogak. Kik gik ma kamago mi ubed mogak kata mochido.

Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

44 An Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, kuom mano pwodhreuru kendo ubed jomaler, nikech an aler. Kik uchidru gi gimoro amora mamol kata malak e lowo.

For I am Jehovah your God: sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moveth upon the earth.

45 An e Jehova Nyasaye mane ogolou e piny Misri mondo abed Nyasachu, kuom mano beduru maler nikech an aler.

For I am Jehovah that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

46 “‘Magi e chike mag le gi mag winy, kod gik mangima mamol ei pi, kod mago malak ewi lowo.

This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth;

47 Nyaka uket pogruok e kind gik makwero kod gik ma ok kwero, kendo mondo upog gik mangima michamo kod mago ma ok cham.’”

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.
