Leviticus 11
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
UThixo wathi kuMosi lo-Aroni,
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.
“Alibokuthi kwabako-Israyeli: ‘Kuzozonke izinyamazana ezisemhlabeni, yilezi elingazidla;
3 Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud amongst beasts, these you shall eat.
lingadla zonke izinyamazana ezilenklagu ezivulekileyo lezentshisayo.
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.
Zikhona ezinye ezentshisayo kuphela, zibe khona ezinye ezilenklagu ezivulekileyo kuphela kodwa lingabozidla. Ikamela loba lisentshisa kalilanklagu ezivulekileyo; ngomkhuba kalihlanzekanga kini.
5 And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
Imbila loba isentshisa kayilanklagu ezivulekileyo; ingcolile kini.
6 And the hare, because it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
Umvundla, loba usentshisa, kawulanklagu ezivulekileyo; ungcolile kini.
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.
Lengulube, loba ilenklagu ezivulekileyo ngokupheleleyo, ayentshisi; ingcolile kini.
8 You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcases; these are unclean to you.
Akufanelanga lidle inyama yazo njalo akufanelanga lithinte loba izidumbu zazo; ngoba zingcolile kini.
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.
Kuzozonke izidalwa ezihlala emanzini asolwandle lasezifuleni, lingadla zonke ezilempiko lamaxolo.
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.
Kodwa zonke izidalwa ezisolwandle lasezifuleni ezingelampiko lamaxolo, kungelani lokuthi ngezihamba ngamaxuku kumbe phakathi kwazo zonke eziphila emanzini kumele lizenyanye.
11 You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall abhor their carcases.
Njalo njengoba lizazenyanya, lingabokudla inyama yazo, njalo kumele lizenyanye lezidumbu zazo.
12 And all things that have not fins or scales of those that are in the waters, these are an abomination to you.
Yonke inyamazana ehlala emanzini engalampiko lamaxolo kumele yenyanyeke kini.
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.
Lezi yizinyoni okumele lizenyanye njalo lingazidli ngoba zingcolile: ukhozi, ilinqe,
14 And the vulture, and the kite, and the like to it;
uhelwane olubomvu, loba wuphi umhlobo wohelwane,
15 and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant, and the like to it:
imihlobo yonke yamawabayi,
16 and every raven, and the birds like it, and the hawk and his like,
isikhova esilesicholo, isikhova esitshaya udweba, ingabuzane, loba wuphi umhlobo wokhozi,
17 and the night-raven and the cormorant and the stork,
umandukulo, itshayamanzi, isikhova esikhulu,
18 and the red-bill, and the pelican, and swan,
isikhova esimhlophe, isikhova senkangala, ukhozi oludla inhlanzi,
19 and the heron, and the lapwing, and the like to it, and the hoopoe and the bat.
ingabuzane, lawuphi umhlobo welanda, imvenduna lomalulwane.
20 And all winged creatures that creep, which go upon four feet, are abominations to you.
Zonke izibungu ezilamaphiko ezihamba ngenyawo zazo ezine kumele zibe ngezingcolileyo kini.
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.
Kodwa kulezinye izibungu ezilamaphiko, ezihamba ngezinyawo zazo ezine, lingadla lezo ezilamangqondo, ezeqa ngawo emhlabathini.
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.
Kuzo lingadla intethe ngemihlobo yazo, lamadiye ngemihlobo yawo.
23 Every creeping thing from amongst the birds, which has four feet, is an abomination to you.
Kodwa zonke ezinye izibungu ezilamaphiko lenyawo ezine lizenyanye.
24 And by these you shall be defiled; every one that touches their carcases shall be unclean till the evening.
Liyabe liyazingcolisa ngalezi; ngakho loba ngubani othinta izidumbu zazo uzatshona engongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
25 And every one that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till the evening.
Ozaphakamisa izidumbu zezinyamazana lezi kumele ahlambulule izigqoko zakhe, kanti-ke yena uzaba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
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.
Yonke inyamazana elengqina elingehlukananga ngokupheleleyo loba engentshisiyo ingcolile kini, wonke othinta isidumbu sezinyamazana lezi uzabe esengongcolile.
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.
Kuzozonke izinyamazana ezihamba ngenyawo ezine, lezo ezihamba ngezidladla zingcolile kini; kuzakuthi wonke othinta izidumbu zazo abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
28 And he that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till evening: these are unclean to you.
Loba ngubani ozaphakamisa izidumbu zezinyamazana lezi kumele ahlambulule izigqoko zakhe, njalo uzatshona engongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe. Zingcolile kini.
29 And these [are] unclean to you of reptiles upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the lizard,
Ezinyamazaneni zonke ezihambahambayo emhlabathini, lezi zingcolile kini: indlegu, igundwane, lemihlobo yonke yemibankwa emikhulu,
30 the ferret, and the chameleon, and the evet, and the newt, and the mole.
untulo, imbulumakhasane, umbankwa, isiqhuza lonwabu.
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.
Kuzozonke ezihuquzelayo emhlabathini, lezi zingcolile kini. Loba ngubani ozithinta sezifile uzatshona engongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
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.
Nxa kungafa eyinye yazo iwele phezu kolutho, lololutho, loba lusetshenziswani luzabe selungolungcolileyo, loba lwenziwe ngesigodo, ngelembu, ngesikhumba loba ngesaka. Lufakeni emanzini; luzabe lungcolile kuze kuhlwe, lapho-ke luzabe seluhlambulukile.
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.
Nxa esinye sazo singawela embizeni yomdaka, konke okusembizeni kuyabe sekungcolile, sekumele ubulale imbiza.
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.
Konke ukudla obekungadliwa okuchaphakelwe ngamanzi aleyo mbiza kungcolile, njalo lobekunganathwa kuvela kuleyo mbiza kungcolile.
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.
Loba yini ewelwe yizidumbu zezinanakazana lezi iba ngengcolileyo; iziko loba imbiza yokupheka sekumele kubhidlizwe. Kuyabe sekungcolile, njalo kumele likuthathe njengokungcolileyo.
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.
Kanti-ke, umthombo loba umgqomo wokukha amanzi uhlala uhlambulukile, kodwa loba ngubani othinta izidumbu lezi ungcolile.
37 And if one of their carcases should fall upon any sowing seed which shall be sown, it shall be clean.
Nxa isidumbu sezinyamazana lezi singawela loba kuyiphi inhlanyelo esilungele ukuhlanyelwa, izahlala ihlambulukile.
38 But if water be poured on any seed, and one of their dead bodies fall upon it, it is unclean to you.
Kodwa nxa amanzi esethelwe enhlanyelweni, isidumbu sakhona besesiwela phezu kwayo, isingcolile kini.
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.
Nxa inyamazana elivunyelwe ukuyidla ingazifela, lowo othinta isidumbu sayo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
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.
Loba ngubani ozakudla inyama yalesisidumbu kumele ahlambulule izigqoko zakhe, uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe. Loba ngubani ozaphakamisa lesisidumbu, kumele ahlambulule izigqoko zakhe, uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
41 And every reptile that creeps on the earth, this shall be an abomination to you; it shall not be eaten.
Loba yisiphi isinanakazana esihuquzelayo emhlabathini siyenyanyeka, kasingadliwa.
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.
Akufanelanga lidle izinanakazana zonke ezihambahambayo emhlabathini, loba ngezihuquzela ngezisu loba ngezihamba ngazozonke zone loba ngezilenyawo ezinengi; ziyenyanyeka.
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.
Lingazingcolisi ngezinanakazana lezi, lingazingcolisi ngenxa yazo njalo lingayekeli zilingcolisa.
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.
NginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, zihlambululeni libengcwele, ngoba mina ngingcwele. Lingazingcolisi ngezinanakazana ezihuquzelayo emhlabathini.
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.
NginguThixo owalikhupha eGibhithe ukuze ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu; kungakho wobani ngcwele, ngoba mina ngingcwele.
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;
Le yiyo imithetho emayelana lezinyamazana, izinyoni, yonke into ephilayo entsheza emanzini lezinanakazana ezihuquzela emhlabathini.
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.
Kumele lehlukanise phakathi kwezingcolileyo lezihlambulukileyo, lehlukanise phakathi kwezidalwa eziphilayo ezingadliwa kanye lokungamelanga zidliwe.’”
