Leviticus 11
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn, sị,
2 Speak you to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which you shall eat of all beasts that are upon the earth.
“Gwanụ ụmụ Izrel, sị, ‘Nʼime anụmanụ niile dị nʼụwa, ndị a bụ anụmanụ unu ga-eri.
3 Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud amongst beasts, these you shall eat.
Unu nwere ike iri anụmanụ ọbụla ụkwụ ya wara njakpa. nke na-atagharị ọnụ.
4 But of these you shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those that part the hoofs, and divide claws; the camel, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
“‘Ma ọ dị ụfọdụ ndị na-atagharị nri maọbụ ndị nwere naanị ụkwụ wara njakpa, unu agaghị eri anụ ha. Ha bụ ịnyịnya kamel, ọ bụ ezie na ọ na-atagharị nri, ma ụkwụ ya awaghị njakpa. Unu agaghị eri ha nʼihi na ọ bụ anụ na-adịghị ọcha.
5 And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
Ewi: Ọ na-atagharị nri ya, ma o nweghị ụkwụ wara njakpa. Ọ bụ anụ na-adịghị ọcha nye unu.
6 And the hare, because it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
Ewi nkume: Ọ na-atagharị nri ya, ma o nweghị ụkwụ wara njakpa. Ọ bụ anụ na-adịghị ọcha nye unu.
7 And the swine, because this [animal] divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, and it does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.
Ezi: Ọ bụ nʼezie na ụkwụ ya wara njakpa ma ọ dịghị atagharị nri ya. Ọ bụ anụ na-adịghị ọcha nye unu.
8 You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcases; these are unclean to you.
Unu emetụkwala ozu ha aka maọbụ rie anụ ha, nʼihi na ha bụ ihe na-adịghị ọcha nye unu.
9 And these [are] what you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all things that have fins and scales in the waters, and in the seas, and in the brooks, these you shall eat.
“‘Nʼime ihe niile e kere eke dị ndụ biri na mmiri, maọbụ nʼiyi nta na nʼoke osimiri, unu nwere ike iri ụdị ọbụla nwere ntu na akpịrịkpa nʼahụ ha.
10 And all things which have not fins or scales in the water, or in the seas, and in the brooks, of all which the waters produce, and of every soul living in the water, are an abomination; and they shall be abominations to you.
Ma unu ekwesighị iri ihe ọbụla nke na-enweghị ntu maọbụ akpịrịkpa, ma ha bụ anụ na-enupụta enupụta, maọbụ na ha so nʼanụ ndị ọzọ dị ndụ bi na mmiri, unu kwesiri ịsọ ha asọ.
11 You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall abhor their carcases.
Ebe ha bụ ihe na-asọ oyi nye unu, unu ekwesighị iri ha, unu ga-agụkwa ozu ha ka ihe na-adịghị ọcha.
12 And all things that have not fins or scales of those that are in the waters, these are an abomination to you.
Ihe ọbụla bi nʼime mmiri nke na-enweghị ntu na akpịrịkpa nʼahụ ha, bụ nke unu ga-asọ asọ.
13 And these are the things which you shall abhor of birds, and they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle.
“‘Ndị a bụ nnụnụ ndị unu ga-asọ asọ, nke unu na-ekwesighị iri nʼihi na ha bụ ihe arụ a na-asọ oyi: ugo, udele na udele ojii,
14 And the vulture, and the kite, and the like to it;

15 and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant, and the like to it:

19 and the heron, and the lapwing, and the like to it, and the hoopoe and the bat.
ụgbala, utù dị iche iche, nnụnụ ọdụ nta na ụsụ.
20 And all winged creatures that creep, which go upon four feet, are abominations to you.
“‘Ụmụ ahụhụ niile na-efe efe nke na-aga ije nʼụkwụ anọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nye unu, unu agaghị eri ya.
21 But these you shall eat of the creeping winged animals, which go upon four feet, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on the earth.
Ma e nwere ụfọdụ ụmụ ahụhụ na-efe efe nke na-aga ije nʼụkwụ anọ ndị unu nwere ike iri: ndị a bụ ndị nwere ogwe ụkwụ nke ha ji na-awụ awụ nʼala,
22 And these of them you shall eat: the caterpillar and his like, and the attacus and his like, and the cantharus and his like, and the locust and his like.
ndị a ka unu ga-eri nʼetiti ha, igurube dị iche iche, na akpankwụ dị iche iche, na abụzụ dị iche iche, na ụkpana dị iche iche.
23 Every creeping thing from amongst the birds, which has four feet, is an abomination to you.
Ahụhụ ndị ọzọ niile na-efe efe, ndị nwere ụkwụ anọ, bụ ihe rụrụ arụ. Unu ekwesighị iri ha.
24 And by these you shall be defiled; every one that touches their carcases shall be unclean till the evening.
“‘Iri ha ga-eme ka unu rụọ arụọ. Onye ọbụla metụrụ ozu ha aka ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ site nʼoge o bitụrụ ha aka tutu ruo nʼabalị nke ụbọchị ahụ.
25 And every one that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till the evening.
Onye ọbụla metụrụ otu nʼime ozu ha aka ga-asakwa uwe ya, gụọkwa onwe ya dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo uhuruchi.
26 And whichever amongst the beasts divides the hoof and makes claws, and does not chew the cud, shall be unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.
“‘Anụmanụ ọbụla ụkwụ ya na-awasaghị abụọ, maọbụ nke na-adịghị atagharị nri ya ugboro abụọ, rụrụ arụ. Onye ọbụla metụrụ ozu ya aka ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ.
27 And every one amongst all the wild beasts that moves upon its fore feet, which goes on all four, is unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.
Nʼime anụmanụ niile na-aga ije nʼụkwụ anọ, anụmanụ ọbụla na-aga ije nʼọbụaka ya rụrụ arụ, unu agaghị eri ya. Onye ọbụla metụrụ ozu ya aka ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ ruo uhuruchi.
28 And he that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till evening: these are unclean to you.
Onye ọbụla ga-ebu ozu ya ga-asa uwe ya, bụrụkwa onye rụrụ arụ ruo uhuruchi, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nʼebe unu nọ.
29 And these [are] unclean to you of reptiles upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the lizard,
“‘Nʼime anụmanụ niile na-enupụta enupụta nʼala, anụmanụ ndị a bụ ndị rụrụ arụ: nkapi, na oke, na agụ iyi dịka ụdị ha si dị,
30 the ferret, and the chameleon, and the evet, and the newt, and the mole.
na ọba mmiri, na ngwere aghụ, na ngwere, na ngwere uzuzu, na ogumagala.
31 These are unclean to you of all the reptiles which are on the earth; every one who touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.
Nʼime ihe niile na-enupụta enupụta nʼala ndị a rụrụ arụ nʼebe unu nọ. Onye metụrụ ozu ha aka ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ tutu ruo uhuruchi ụbọchị ahụ.
32 And on whatever one of their dead bodies shall fall it shall be unclean; whatever wooden vessel, or garment, or skin, or sack it may be, every vessel in which work should be done, shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean till evening; and [then] it shall be clean.
Ihe ọbụla nke ozu ha dakwasịrị ga-abụ ihe rụrụ arụ, maọbụ osisi, maọbụ akwa, maọbụ akpụkpọ a na-akwa nʼala, maọbụ akpa, ihe ọbụla nke eji ya eme. A ga-etinye ya na mmiri, ọ ga-adịgide nʼime mmiri tutu ruo uhuruchi, mgbe ahụ ka ọ ga-adị ọcha.
33 And every earthen vessel into which one of these things shall fall, whatever is inside it, shall be unclean, and it shall be broken.
Ọ bụrụ na otu nʼime ihe ndị a adanye nʼite aja, a ga-etiwa ite ahụ. Ihe niile dị nʼite ahụ abụrụla ihe rụrụ arụ.
34 And all food that is eaten, on which water shall come [from such a vessel], shall be unclean; and every beverage which is drunk in any [such] vessel, shall be unclean.
Ihe oriri ọbụla nke mmiri si nʼite a metụrụ abụrụla ihe rụrụ arụ. Mmiri ọṅụṅụ ọbụla dị nʼime ite ahụ rụkwara arụ.
35 And every thing on which there shall fall of their dead bodies shall be unclean; ovens and stands for jars shall be broken down: these are unclean, and they shall be unclean to you.
Ihe ọbụla ozu anụmanụ dị otu a dakwasịrị, maọbụ ite ọkụ eji eghe ihe, maọbụ ekwu a ga-etiwa ha. Nʼihi na ha bụ ihe rụrụ arụ, unu ga-agụ ha dịka ihe rụrụ arụ.
36 Only [if the water be] of fountains of water, or a pool, or confluence of water, it shall be clean; but he that touches their carcases shall be unclean.
Ọ bụrụkwa na ozu anụmanụ ahụ adaba nʼisi iyi, maọbụ nʼolulu mmiri, mmiri ahụ ga-adị ọcha, kama onye ga-emetụ anụ ahụ aka ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ.
37 And if one of their carcases should fall upon any sowing seed which shall be sown, it shall be clean.
Ọ bụrụ na ozu anụ ahụ adakwasị mkpụrụ ubi a na-aga ịkụ nʼubi, ọ gaghị emerụ ha.
38 But if water be poured on any seed, and one of their dead bodies fall upon it, it is unclean to you.
Ma ọ bụrụ na e tinyere mmiri nʼelu mkpụrụ ọghịgha ndị ahụ, ozu adakwasị nʼelu ya, ha ga-abụ ihe rụrụ arụ.
39 And if one of the cattle die, which it is lawful for you to eat, he that touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na anụmanụ unu kwesiri iri eri anwụọ, onye ahụ metụrụ ya aka ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ ruo uhuruchi.
40 And he that eats of their carcases shall wash his garments, and be unclean till evening; and he that carries any of their carcases shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean till evening.
Onye ọbụla riri ozu anụ ahụ, maọbụ bufuo ozu ya, ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ ruo uhuruchi. Ọ ga-asa uwe ya mmiri.
41 And every reptile that creeps on the earth, this shall be an abomination to you; it shall not be eaten.
“‘Anụmanụ ọbụla na-akpụgharị nʼala bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nye unu. Unu erikwala ha.
42 And every [animal] that creeps on its belly, and every one that goes on four [feet] continually, which abounds with feet amongst all the reptiles creeping upon the earth—you shall not eat it, for it is an abomination to you.
Unu agaghị eri anụmanụ ọbụla na-akpụgharị nʼala, ma ha na-akpụgharị nʼafọ ha, ma ha na-agagharị nʼụkwụ anọ, ma ha nwere ụkwụ dị ọtụtụ. Ha bụ ihe rụrụ arụ.
43 And you shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles that creep upon the earth, and you shall not be polluted with them, and you shall not be unclean by them.
Unu emerụla onwe unu site nʼiri anụmanụ ndị a na-akpụgharị nʼala. Unu abụla ndị na-emerụ onwe unu site nʼanụmanụ ndị a, maọbụ mee ka unu bụrụ ndị e merụrụ site na ha.
44 For I am the Lord your God; and you shall be sanctified, and you shall be holy, because I the Lord your God am holy; and you shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles creeping upon the earth.
Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu. Doonụ onwe unu nsọ, nʼihi na adị m nsọ. Unu emerụla onwe unu site nʼimetụ anụmanụ ndị a na-akpụgharị nʼala aka.
45 For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; and you shall be holy, for I the Lord am holy.
Abụ m Onyenwe anyị, onye si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta unu, ka m bụrụ Chineke unu. Unu aghaghị ịdị nsọ, nʼihi na adị m nsọ.
46 This is the law concerning beasts and birds and every living creature moving in the water, and every living creature creeping on the earth;
“‘Ndị a bụ usoro iwu metụtara ụmụ anụmanụ, na anụ ufe, na anụ bi na mmiri, na anụ ndị na-arịgharị arịgharị nʼala.
47 to distinguish between the unclean and the clean; and between those that bring forth alive, such as should be eaten, and those that bring forth alive, such as should not be eaten.
Ka unu si otu a kpaa oke nʼetiti ndị rụrụ arụ na ndị dị ọcha, nʼetiti ihe e kere eke dị ndụ ndị unu nwere ike iri nʼihi na ha dị ọcha, na ndị unu na-ekwesighị iri nʼihi na ha rụrụ arụ.’”
