Tim Jo-Lawi 11

1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni Musa gi Harun niya,

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

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

Say to the sons of Israel: These are the animals that you ought to eat out of all the living things of the earth.

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

All that has a divided hoof, and that chews over again, among the cattle, you shall 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.

But whatever certainly chews over again, but has a hoof that is not divided, such as the camel and others, these you shall not eat, and you shall consider them to be among what is unclean.

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

The rock rabbit which chews over again, and whose hoof is not divided, is unclean,

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

and so also is the hare, for it too chews over again, yet its hoof is not divided,

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

and also the swine, which, though its hoof is divided, does not chew over again.

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

The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.

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

These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that has little fins and scales, as much in the sea, as in the rivers and ponds, you shall 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.

But whatever does not have fins and scales, of those things that live and move in the waters, shall be abominable to you,

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

and detestable; their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall avoid.

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

All that does not have fins and scales in the waters shall be polluted.

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

These are those things among the birds which you must not eat, and which are to be avoided by you: the eagle, and the griffin, and the osprey,

14 gi otenga kod kit otenga duto,

and the kite, as well as the vulture, according to their kind,

15 gi kit agak duto,

and all that is of the raven kind, according to their likeness,

16 tula, nyatawo gi okok kod kit olith duto

the ostrich, and the owl, and the gull, and the hawk, according to its kind,

17 tula matin, gi osou, gi tula maduongʼ,

the owl, and the sea bird, and the ibis,

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

and the swan, and the pelican, and the marsh hen,

19 gi nyamnaha gi ngʼangʼa, tula kod olik tiga.

the heron, and the plover according to its kind, the crested hoopoe, and also the bat.

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

Of all that flies, whatever steps upon four feet shall be abominable to you.

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

But whatever certainly walks upon four feet, and also has longer legs behind, with which it hops upon the earth,

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

you shall eat, such as the beetle in its kind, and the cricket, and grasshopper, and the locust, each one according to its kind.

23 To gik moko duto mafuyo kod mago man-gi tiende angʼwen, nobednu gik makwero.

But among flying things, whatever has only four feet shall be detestable to you.

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

And whoever will have touched their carcasses shall be defiled, and he shall be unclean until evening.

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

And if it will be necessary to carry any of these dead things, he shall wash his clothes, and he shall be unclean until the sun sets.

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 animal that certainly has a hoof, but which is not divided, nor does it chew over again, shall be unclean. And whoever will have touched it shall be contaminated.

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.

Whatever walks upon its hands, out of all the animals that advance on all fours, shall be unclean. Whoever will have touched their carcasses shall be polluted until evening.

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

And whoever will have carried this kind of carcass shall wash his clothes, and he shall be unclean until evening. For all these are unclean to you.

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

Likewise, these shall be considered among the polluted things, out of all that moves upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the crocodile, each one according to its kind,

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

the shrew, and the chameleon, and the gecko, and the lizard, and the mole.

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

All these are unclean. Whoever will have touched their carcasses shall be unclean until evening.

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 anything upon which something from their carcasses will have fallen shall be defiled, whether it is a vessel of wood, or a garment, or skins, or haircloths, or anything by which work is done. These shall be dipped in water and shall be defiled until evening, but then afterwards these shall be clean.

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

But an earthen vessel, into which something from these will fall, shall be defiled; and therefore it is to be broken.

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

Any of the foods that you eat, if water from such a vessel will have been poured upon it, it shall be unclean. And every liquid which one may drink from such a 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 if anything from among these kinds of dead things has fallen upon it, it shall be unclean, whether it be an oven, or a pot with feet, these shall be unclean and shall be destroyed.

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

Yet truly, fountains and cisterns, and all reservoirs of water shall be clean. Whoever will have touched their carcasses shall be defiled.

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

If it falls upon seed grain, it shall not defile it.

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

But if anyone has poured water upon the seed grain, and afterwards it was touched by the carcasses, it shall be immediately defiled.

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

If any animals will have died, from which it is lawful for you to eat, whoever will have touched its carcass shall be unclean until evening.

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 whoever will have eaten or carried anything of these shall wash his clothes, and he shall be unclean until evening.

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

All that creeps across the earth shall be abominable, neither shall it be taken up as food.

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

Whatever advances by four feet upon the chest, or that has many feet, or that drags across the soil, you shall not eat, because it is abominable.

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

Do not be willing to contaminate your souls, nor shall you touch any of these, lest you become unclean.

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 the Lord your God. Be holy, for I am Holy. Do not pollute your souls with any creeping thing, which moves across the land.

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

For I am the Lord, who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I would be your God; you shall 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 animals and flying things, and of every living soul that moves in the waters or creeps upon the land,

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

so that you may know the difference between clean and unclean, and so that you may know what you ought to eat, and what you ought to refuse.
