< Leviticus 11 >

1 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
2 “Give these instructions to the Israelites. These are the animals you are allowed to eat:
“Israel ca rhoek te voek rhoi lamtah, diklai hmankah rhamsa boeih khuiah na caak uh ham mulhing he thui pah.
3 any animal that both has a divided hoof and also chews the cud.
Rhamsa khuiah a khomae rhak tih a khomae dongkah a khorhaek aka thal neh caknaih aka naih boeih te tah ca uh.
4 However, if it either chews the cud, or has a divided hoof, then you may not eat it. These include: the camel, which though it chews the cud doesn't have a divided hoof, so it is unclean for you.
Tedae caknaih aka naih neh khomae aka rhak khuiah Kalauk he ca uh boeh. Caknaih a naih dae a khomae a rhak pawt dongah nangmih ham rhalawt.
5 The rock hyrax, which though it chews the cud doesn't have a divided hoof, so it is unclean for you.
Saphih he khaw caknaih a naih dae a khomae a rhak pawt dongah nangmih ham rhalawt.
6 The hare, which though it chews the cud doesn't have a divided hoof, so it is unclean for you.
Saveh khaw caknaih a naih dae a khomae a rhak pawt dongah nangmih ham rhalawt.
7 The pig, which though it has a divided hoof doesn't chew the cud, so it is unclean for you.
Ok he a khomae rhak tih a khomae dongkah a khorhaek thal dae caknaih a naih pawt dongah nangmih ham rhalawt.
8 You are not to eat their meat or touch their bead bodies. They are unclean for you.
A saa te ca uh boeh. A rhok khaw ben uh boeh. Te rhoek te nangmih ham rhalawt.
9 You are allowed to eat any creature with fins and scales that lives in the water, whether in the sea or in fresh water.
Tui dongkah aka om boeih khuiah he ca uh. tui dongkah khaw, tuitunli dongkah khaw, soklong kah khaw a phae neh a lip aka om boeih tah ca uh.
10 But you are not allowed to eat any of the many creatures that don't have fins and scales that live in the water, whether in the sea or in fresh water.
Tedae tuitunli dongkah khaw, soklong kah khaw, tui dongkah rhulcai boeih neh tui khuikah aka hing hinglu boeih khuiah a phae neh a lip aka om pawt boeih te nangmih ham konawhnah ni.
11 They are repulsive. You must not eat their meat, and you must treat their dead bodies as repulsive.
Nangmih ham konawhnah la a om uh dongah a saa te ca uh boeh. A rhok te khaw tuei uh.
12 All such water creatures that don't have fins and scales are to be repulsive to you.
A phae khaw, a lip khaw a khueh mueh la tui dongah aka om boeih te nangmih ham konawhnah ni.
13 As for the birds, these must not be eaten because they are repulsive: eagle, griffon vulture, bearded vulture,
Vaa khuiah he rhoek tah tuei uh, caak ham moenih. atha khaw, langta khaw, thamuk khaw konawhnah ni.
14 buzzard, kite and similar birds of prey,

bungrho, kaikoi neh anih hui, thongpanai neh pumphak.
20 All flying insects that crawl are repulsive to you.
Vaa bangla om tih a kho pali neh aka yuel rhulcai boeih khaw nangmih ham konawhnah ni.
21 But you can eat the following kinds of flying insects that crawl: those that have jointed legs they use to jump.
Tedae vaa bangla om tih a kho pali neh yuel cakhaw diklai dongah cungpet nah ham a kho phoeiah a kho aka khueh rhulcai boeih tah ca uh.
22 So in this category you can eat any kind of locust, bald locust, cricket, or grasshopper.
Kaisih neh a hui, tangboeng neh a hui khaw, tungrhit neh a hui khaw, tangku neh anih hui khaw ca uh.
23 All other flying insects that crawl are repulsive to you,
Tedae vaa bangla om tih a kho pali aka khueh rhulcai boeih tah nangmih ham konawhnah ni.
24 and will make you unclean. If you touch their dead bodies you will be unclean until the evening,
A rhok aka ben boeih tah te nen te na poeih uh ni. Amih te kholaeh duela a poeih ni.
25 and if you pick up one of their dead bodies you must wash your clothes, and you will be unclean until the evening.
A rhok aka phuei boeih long khaw a himbai te til saeh. Anih te kholaeh duela poeih uh ni.
26 Every animal with hooves that are not divided, or that does not chew the cud, is unclean for you. If you touch any of them you will be unclean.
Rhamsa boeih khaw a khomae rhak tih a khorhaek aka thal pawt neh caknaih aka naih pawt tah nangmih ham rhalawt. Te te aka ben boeih tah poeih uh ni.
27 Any four-legged animal that walks on its paws are unclean for you. If you touch their dead bodies you will be unclean until the evening,
A kho pali neh aka yuel mulhing boeih khuiah a kut neh aka yuel boeih khaw nangmih ham rhalawt. A rhok aka ben boeih tah kholaeh duela a poeih ni.
28 and if you pick up one of their dead bodies you must wash your clothes, and you will be unclean until the evening. They are unclean for you.
A rhok aka phuei long tah a himbai te til saeh. Hlaem duela a poeih uh vaengah tah amih te nangmih ham rhalawt.
29 The following animals that run along the ground are unclean for you: rats, mice, any kind of large lizard,
Diklai kah aka luem rhulcai khuiah saham, su, imrhai neh anih hui boeih,
30 gecko, monitor lizard, wall lizard, skinks, and chameleon.
tawkke, tangkong, cangdawl, lainaat, hambo he khaw nangmih ham rhalawt.
31 These animals that run along the ground are unclean for you. If you touch a dead one of them you will be unclean until the evening.
Rhulcai boeih khuiah nangmih ham aka rhalawt rhoek te a duek vaengah aka ben boeih khaw kholaeh duela poeih uh ni.
32 Anything that one of them dies and lands on becomes unclean. Whatever it is—something made of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any work tool—it must be washed with water and will be unclean until the evening. Then it will become clean.
A duek vaengah anih soah aka cungku boeih tah poeih uh ni. Te dongah thing hnopai boeih neh himbai khaw, maehpho mai khaw, tolkhui mai khaw, te rhoek neh bitat la a saii hnopai boeih te tah tui dongah duung saeh. Hlaem due poeih uh saeh lamtah caihcil saeh.
33 If one of them falls into a clay pot, all that's in it becomes unclean. You must smash the pot.
Tedae amih khuikah te lai umam khat khat khuila a tlak atah a khui neh a khui kah boeih khaw a poeih dongah rhek dae uh laeh.
34 If water from that pot touches any food, that food becomes unclean, and any drink from a pot like that also becomes unclean.
Caak ham cakok khat khat te tekah am tui loh a pha thil atah a poeih coeng. Te dongah umam khat khat khui lamkah ok ham koi tui khaw boeih a poeih coeng.
35 Anything that one of their dead bodies falls on becomes unclean. If it's an oven or a stove, it must be smashed. It is permanently unclean for you.
Amih rhok loh a cuhu thil boeih tah tapkhuel khaw, lungthu khaw a poeih coeng. Te rhoek rhalawt rhoek te tah palet saeh. Nangmih ham khaw rhalawt la om.
36 On the other hand, if it's a spring or cistern containing water then it will remain clean, but if you touch one of these dead bodies in it you will be unclean.
Tedae tuisih neh tangrhom tui tungnah a tlak thil atah tuicil la om mai cakhaw a rhok aka ben te a poeih.
37 Similarly, if one of their dead bodies falls on any seed used for sowing, the seed remains clean;
Tedae te cangti ballung boeih tah a rhok loh tlak thil cakhaw cuem ngawn dongah tue ngawn saeh.
38 but if the seed has been soaked in water and one of their dead bodies falls on it, it is unclean for you.
Tedae cangti te tui dongah a khueh vaengah a rhok loh a cuhu thil atah nangmih ham rhalawt.
39 If an animal that you are allowed to eat dies, anyone who touches the dead body will be unclean until the evening.
Na caak ham koi rhamsa a duek vaengah khaw a rhok aka ben tah hlaem duela poeih uh ni.
40 If you eat anything from the dead body you must wash your clothes and you will be unclean until the evening. If you pick up the dead body you must wash your clothes and you will be unclean until the evening.
A rhok aka ca tah a himbai te til saeh. Anih khaw hlaem duela poeih uh ni. A rhok aka phuei te khaw a himbai te til saeh. Hlaem due la poeih uh ni. Diklai
41 Every animal that crawls along the ground is repulsive—you must not eat it.
ah aka luem rhulcai boeih khaw konawhnah, caak koi moenih.
42 Don't eat any animal that crawls along the ground, whether it moves on its belly or walks on four feet or many feet. All such animals are repulsive.
A bung neh aka colh boeih, a kho pali neh aka van boeih khaw, a kho aka ping boeih khaw, diklai ah aka luem rhulcai boeih he tah konawhnah ni ca uh boeh.
43 Don't defile yourselves by any such crawling animal. Don't make yourselves unclean or defiled by them,
Aka luem rhulcai boeih neh na hinglu te rhun uh boeh. Amih nen khaw poeih uh boel lamtah amih long khaw nang m'poeih uh boel saeh.
44 because I am the Lord your God; so dedicate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Don't defile yourselves by any animal that crawls along the ground.
Kai tah nangmih Pathen BOEIPA ni. Te dongah ciim uh lamtah ka cim bangla a cim la om uh. Te dongah diklai kah aka colh rhulcai boeih dongah na hinglu te poeih uh boeh.
45 I am the Lord who led you out of Egypt so that I could be your God. So be holy, because I am holy.
Nangmih kah Pathen la om ham Egypt khohmuen lamloh nangmih aka khuen khaw BOEIPA kamah ni. Te dongah kai ka cim bangla a cim la om uh.
46 These are the regulations about animals, birds, everything that lives in the water, and all animals that crawl along the ground.
He tah rhamsa neh vaa, tui dongkah aka hing tih aka colh hinglu boeih neh diklai dongkah aka luem hinglu boeih ham,
47 You must recognize the difference between unclean and clean, between those animals that can be eaten and those that can't.”
rhalawt laklo neh cuemcaih laklo ah, caak ham mulhing laklo neh caak koi pawh mulhing laklo ah paekboe ham olkhueng ni,” a ti nah.
