Leviticus 11
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
Olúwa sọ fún Mose àti Aaroni pé,
2 Say to the children of Israel: These are the animals which you are to eat of all the living things of the earth.
“Ẹ sọ fún àwọn ara Israẹli pé, ‘Nínú gbogbo ẹranko tí ń gbé lórí ilẹ̀, àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ẹ le jẹ.
3 Whatsoever hath the hoof divided, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, you shall eat.
Gbogbo ẹranko tí pátákò ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ bá là tí ó sì ń jẹ àpọ̀jẹ.
4 But whatsoever cheweth indeed the cud, and hath a hoof, but divideth it not, as the camel, and others, that you shall not eat, but shall reckon it among the unclean.
“‘Àwọn mìíràn wà tó ń jẹ àpọ̀jẹ nìkan. Àwọn mìíràn wà tó jẹ́ pé pátákò ẹsẹ̀ wọn nìkan ni ó là, ìwọ̀nyí ni ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ fún àpẹẹrẹ bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìbákasẹ ń jẹ àpọ̀jẹ kò ya pátákò ẹsẹ̀, àìmọ́ ni èyí jẹ́.
5 The cherogrillus which cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof, is unclean.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé gara (ẹranko tí ó dàbí ehoro tí ń gbé inú àpáta) ń jẹ àpọ̀jẹ; aláìmọ́ ni èyí jẹ́ fún yín.
6 The hare also: for that too cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ehoro ń jẹ àpọ̀jẹ, ṣùgbọ́n kò ya pátákò ẹsẹ̀; aláìmọ́ ni èyí jẹ́ fún yín.
7 And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof, cheweth not the cud.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹlẹ́dẹ̀ ya pátákò ẹsẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n kì í jẹ àpọ̀jẹ; aláìmọ́ ni èyí jẹ́ fún yín.
8 The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.
Ẹ má ṣe jẹ ẹran wọn, ẹ kò sì gbọdọ̀ fọwọ́ kan òkú wọn. Àìmọ́ ni wọ́n jẹ́ fún yín.
9 These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that hath fins, and scales, as well in the sea, as in the rivers, and the pools, you shall eat.
“‘Nínú gbogbo ohun tí Ọlọ́run dá tí ń gbé inú omi Òkun, àti nínú odò: èyíkéyìí tí ó bá ní lẹbẹ àti ìpẹ́ ni ẹ lè jẹ́.
10 But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those things that move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to you,
Ṣùgbọ́n nínú gbogbo ẹ̀dá tí ń gbé inú òkun àti nínú odò tí kò ní lẹbẹ àti ìpẹ́, yálà nínú gbogbo àwọn tí ń rákò tàbí láàrín gbogbo àwọn ẹ̀dá alààyè yòókù tí ń gbé inú omi àwọn ni kí ẹ kórìíra.
11 And detestable: their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall avoid.
Nígbà tí ẹ ti kórìíra wọn ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹran wọn: ẹ gbọdọ̀ kórìíra òkú wọn.
12 All that have not fins and scales, in the waters, shall be unclean.
Ohunkóhun tí ń gbé inú omi tí kò ní lẹbẹ àti ìpẹ́ gbọdọ̀ jásí ìríra fún yín.
13 Of birds these are they which you must not eat, and which are to be avoided by you: The eagle, and the griffon, and the osprey,
“‘Àwọn ẹyẹ wọ̀nyí ni ẹ gbọdọ̀ kórìíra tí ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ wọ́n torí pé ohun ìríra ni wọ́n: idì, oríṣìíríṣìí igún,
14 And the kite, and the vulture, according to their kind,
àwòdì àti onírúurú àṣá,
15 And all that is of the raven kind, according to their likeness.
onírúurú ẹyẹ ìwò,
16 The ostrich, and the owl, and the larus, and the hawk according to its kind.
Òwìwí, onírúurú ògòǹgò, onírúurú ẹ̀lúùlú, onírúurú àwòdì,
17 The screech owl, and the cormorant, and the ibis,

18 And the swan, and the bittern, and the porphyrion,
Òwìwí funfun àti òwìwí ilẹ̀ pápá, àti àkàlà,
19 The heron, and the charadrion according to its kind, the houp also, and the bat.

20 Of things that fly, whatsoever goeth upon four feet, shall be abominable to you.
“‘Gbogbo kòkòrò tí ń fò tí ó sì ń fi ẹsẹ̀ mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin rìn ni wọ́n jẹ́ ìríra fún yín,
21 But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the legs behind longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth,

22 That you shall eat, as the bruchus in its kind, the attacus, and ophiomachus, and the locust, every one according to their kind.
Nínú àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ẹ lè jẹ onírúurú eṣú, onírúurú ìrẹ̀ àti onírúurú tata.
23 But of dying things whatsoever hath four feet only, shall be an abomination to you:

24 And whosoever shall touch the carcasses of them, shall be defiled, and shall be unclean until the evening:
“‘Nípa àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ẹ le fi sọ ara yín di àìmọ́. Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fọwọ́ kan òkú wọn yóò di aláìmọ́ títí ìrọ̀lẹ́.
25 And if it be necessary that he carry any of these things when they are dead, he shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the sun set.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbé òkú wọn gbọdọ̀ fọ aṣọ rẹ̀, yóò sì jẹ́ aláìmọ́ títí ìrọ̀lẹ́.
26 Every beast that hath a hoof, but divideth it not, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean: and he that toucheth it, shall be defiled.
“‘Àwọn ẹranko tí pátákò wọn kò là tan tàbí tí wọn kò jẹ àpọ̀jẹ jẹ́ àìmọ́ fún yín. Ẹni tí ó bá fọwọ́ kan òkú èyíkéyìí nínú wọn yóò jẹ́ aláìmọ́.
27 That which walketh upon hands of all animals which go on all four, shall be unclean: he that shall touch their carcasses shall be defiled until evening.

29 These also shall be reckoned among unclean things, of all that move upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the crocodile, every one according to their kind:
“‘Nínú gbogbo ẹranko tí ń rìn lórí ilẹ̀ ìwọ̀nyí ni ó jẹ́ àìmọ́ fún yín: Asé, eku àti oríṣìíríṣìí aláǹgbá,
30 The shrew, and the chameleon, and the stello, and the lizard, and the mole:
Ọmọnílé, alágẹmọ, aláǹgbá, ìgbín àti ọ̀gà.
31 All these are unclean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be unclean until the evening.

32 And upon what thing soever any of their carcasses shall fall, it shall be defiled, whether it be a vessel of wood, or a garment, or skins or haircloths; or any thing in which work is done, they shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean until the evening, and so afterwards shall be clean.

39 If any beast die, of which it is lawful for you to eat, he that toucheth the carcass thereof, shall be unclean until the evening:
“‘Bí ẹran kan bá kú nínú àwọn tí ẹ lè jẹ, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fọwọ́ kan òkú rẹ̀ yóò di aláìmọ́ títí ìrọ̀lẹ́.

41 All that creepeth upon the earth shall be abominable, neither shall it be taken for meat.
“‘Ìríra ni gbogbo ohun tí ń rìn káàkiri lórí ilẹ̀ jẹ́, ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ wọ́n.
42 Whatsoever goeth upon the breast on four feet, or hath many feet, or traileth on the earth, you shall not eat, because it is abominable.

46 You shall be holy, because I am holy. This is the law of beasts and fowls, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and creepeth on the earth:
“‘Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ìlànà fún ẹranko, ẹyẹ, gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè tí ń gbé inú omi àti àwọn ẹ̀dá tí ó ń rìn lórí ilẹ̀.
