Leviticus 11
1 After, the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying vnto them,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, These are the beastes which yee shall eate, among all the beasts that are on the earth.
“Monka nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘yei ne mmoa a mobɛtumi awe wɔ asase so mmoa no mu.
3 Whatsoeuer parteth the hoofe, and is clouen footed, and cheweth the cudde, among the beastes, that shall ye eate.
Motumi we aboa biara a ne tɔte mu apae na ɔpu wesa no.
4 But of them that chewe the cud, or deuide the hoofe onely, of them yee shall not eate: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, and deuideth not ye hoofe, he shall be vncleane vnto you.
“‘Monnnwe mmoa a ɛdidi so yi. Yoma, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔpu wesa nanso ne tɔte mu mpaeɛ;
5 Likewise the conie, because he cheweth the cud and deuideth not the hoofe, he shall bee vncleane to you.
Atwaboa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔpu wesa nanso ne tɔte mu mpaeɛ.
6 Also the hare, because he cheweth the cud, and deuideth not the hoofe, he shalbe vncleane to you.
Adanko, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔpu wesa nanso ne tɔte mu mpaeɛ.
7 And the swine, because he parteth ye hoofe and is clouen footed, but cheweth not the cud, he shalbe vncleane to you.
Ɔprako, ɛfiri sɛ, ne tɔte mu apae nanso ɔmpu nwesa.
8 Of their flesh shall yee not eate, and their carkeise shall yee not touch: for they shall bee vncleane to you.
Monnnwe wɔn nam anaa mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn funu; wɔyɛ akyiwadeɛ nnuane ma mo.
9 These shall ye eate, of all that are in the waters: whatsoeuer hath finnes and skales in ye waters, in the seas, or in the riuers, them shall ye eate.
“‘Monni nsuomnam biara a ɛwɔ ntɛtɛ ne abon a ɛfiri nsubɔntene anaa ɛpo mu;
10 But all that haue not finnes nor skales in the seas, or in the riuers, of all that moueth in the waters, and of al liuing things that are in the waters, they shalbe an abomination vnto you.
nanso nsuomnam a aka no deɛ, mokyi.
11 They, I say, shalbe an abomination to you: ye shall not eate of their flesh, but shall abhorre their carkeis.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ mowe wɔn nam anaa mode mo nsa ka wɔn afunu.
12 Whatsoeuer hath not fins nor skales in the waters, that shalbe abomination vnto you.
Meti mu bio sɛ, nsuomnam biara a ɛnni ntɛtɛ anaa abon no, mokyi.
13 These shall ye haue also in abomination among the foules, they shall not be eaten: for they are an abomination, the eagle, and the goshauke, and the osprey:
“‘Nnomaa a mokyi no korakora nso ne: ɔkɔdeɛ, ne ɔkɔrewa ne ɔkomfufuo,
14 Also the vultur, and the kite after his kinde,
ɔkompete (wɔn ahodoɔ nyinaa), ɔsansa,
15 And all rauens after their kinde:
anene (wɔn ahodoɔ nyinaa),
16 The ostrich also, and the night crowe, and the seameaw, and the hauke after his kinde:
sohori, anadwokorɔma, ɛpo so akorɔma, akorɔma (wɔn ahodoɔ nyinaa),
17 The litle owle also, and the connorant, and the great owle.
ɔpatuo, ɛserɛ so patuo, patukɛseɛ,
18 Also the redshanke and the pelicane, and the swanne:
bakanoma, nantwinoma, opete,
19 The storke also, the heron after his kinde, and the lapwing, and the backe:
asukɔnkɔn (wɔn ahodoɔ nyinaa), asɔkwaa ne apan.
20 Also euery foule that creepeth and goeth vpon all foure, such shalbe an abomination vnto you.
“‘Ntuboa a wɔnante no, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔwe
21 Yet these shall ye eate: of euery foule that creepeth, and goeth vpon all foure which haue their feete and legs all of one to leape withal vpon the earth,
agye wɔn a wɔhuri;
22 Of them ye shall eate these, the grashopper after his kinde, and the solean after his kinde, the hargol after his kinde, and the hagab after his kind.
ntutummɛ ahodoɔ nyinaa, nketekyire, ne mmɛbɛ nyinaa motumi we.
23 But al other foules that creepe and haue foure feete, they shalbe abomination vnto you.
Nanso mmoawa a wɔtu na wɔwɔ nan ɛnan no deɛ, mokyi.
24 For by such ye shalbe polluted: whosoeuer toucheth their carkeis, shalbe vncleane vnto the euening.
“‘Obiara a ɔde nsa bɛka wɔn funu no mpo ho bɛgu fi kɔsi anwummerɛ
25 Whosoeuer also beareth of their carkeis, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil euen.
na amonom hɔ ara, ɛsɛ sɛ onii no si ne ntoma na ɔtwe ne ho firi nnipa mu kɔsi anwummerɛ de kyerɛ sɛ, ne ho agu fi.
26 Euery beast that hath clawes deuided, and is not clouen footed, nor cheweth the cud, such shalbe vncleane vnto you: euery one that toucheth them, shalbe vncleane.
“‘Obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka aboa biara a ne tɔte mu mpae nwieeɛ anaa aboa a ɔmpu nnwesa no, wagu ne ho fi.
27 And whatsoeuer goeth vpon his pawes among all maner beastes that goeth on all foure, such shalbe vncleane vnto you: who so doth touch their carkeis shalbe vncleane vntil the euen.
Aboa biara a ne nan yɛ ɛnan na ɔnam ne mmɔwerɛ so no, mokyiri ne nam. Obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka aboa a ɔte saa funu no ho agu fi kɔsi anwummerɛ; ɛyɛ mo akyiwadeɛ.
28 And he that beareth their carkeis, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntill the euen: for such shalbe vncleane vnto you.
Obiara a ɔbɛfa saa aboa no funu no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsi ne ntoma na ne ho nnte ara kɔsi anwummerɛ.
29 Also these shalbe vncleane to you amog the things that creepe and moue vpon the earth, the weasell, and the mouse, and the frog, after his kinde:
“‘Mmoa a wɔwea fam a wɔn ho nte no nie: Kɔkɔbo, okusie, akura,
30 Also the rat, and the lizard, and the chameleon, and the stellio, and the molle.
efiewura, ɔmampam, ɔkoterɛ, srɛ so koterɛ, abosomakoterɛ.
31 These shall be vncleane to you among all that creepe: whosoeuer doeth touch them when they be dead, shalbe vncleane vntil the euen.
Obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka wɔn mu bi funu no ho bɛyɛ fi kɔsi anwummerɛ
32 Also whatsoeuer any of the dead carkeises of them doth fall vpon, shalbe vncleane, whether it be vessel of wood, or rayment, or skinne, or sacke: whatsoeuer vessel it be that is occupied, it shalbe put in the water as vncleane vntil the euen, and so be purified.
na biribiara a wɔn funu no ho bɛka no nso ho bɛgu fi, sɛ ɛyɛ dua, ntoma, kuntu, kotokuo; biribiara a wɔn ho bɛka no, wɔmfa ngu nsuo mu nkɔsi anwummerɛ. Ɛno akyi, wɔtumi de di dwuma bio.
33 But euery earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoeuer is within it shalbe vncleane, and ye shall breake it.
Kukuo biara a ebi bɛtɔ mu no, deɛ ɛwɔ mu biara ho bɛgu fi enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ saa kukuo no.
34 Al meate also that shalbe eaten, if any such water come vpon it, shalbe vncleane: and all drinke that shalbe drunke in al such vessels shalbe vncleane.
Nsuo a wɔde bɛhohoro nneɛma a ɛho nte wɔ kukuo no mu no, sɛ ebi ka aduane bi a, ɛgu aduane no ho fi. Na nsã biara a ɛwɔ kukuo a ɛho agu fi no mu no nso ho gu fi saa ara.
35 And euery thing that their carkeis fall vpon, shalbe vncleane: the fornais or the pot shalbe broken: for they are vncleane, and shalbe vncleane vnto you.
Sɛ aboa biara a ne ho agu fi funu ka fononoo a wɔde ɛboɔ anwono a, na ɛno nso ho agu fi enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbubu guo.
36 Yet the fountaines and welles where there is plentie of water shalbe cleane: but that which toucheth their carkeises shalbe vncleane.
Sɛ aboa no te hwe asutire anaa abura bi a nsuo wɔ mu mu a, nsuo no ho nguu fi, na mmom, onipa a ɔbɛyi aboa no ho agu fi.
37 And if there fal of their dead carkeis vpon any seede, which vseth to be sowe, it shalbe cleane.
Na sɛ aboa no funu ka aduane a wɔbɛdua no afuom a, ɛho nguu fi,
38 But if any water be powred vpon ye seede, and there fal of their dead carkeis thereon, it shall be vncleane vnto you.
nanso sɛ wɔfɔ aba no na efunu no te tɔ so a, aba no ho agu fi.
39 If also any beast, whereof ye may eate, die, he that toucheth the carkeis thereof shall be vncleane vntil the euen.
“‘Sɛ yadeɛ bi kum aboa a wɔama wo ho kwan sɛ we ne nam a, obi a ɔde ne nsa bɛka ne funu no no ho gu fi kɔsi anwummerɛ.
40 And he that eateth of the carkeis of it, shall wash his clothes and be vncleane vntil the euen: he also that beareth the carkeis of it, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil the euen.
Saa ara nso na onipa a ɔbɛwe ne ɛnam no bɛsi ne ntoma na ne ho agu fi akɔsi anwummerɛ.
41 Euery creeping thing therefore that creepeth vpon the earth shalbe an abomination, and not be eaten.
“‘Monnnwe mmoa a wɔwea fam no ɛnam.
42 Whatsoeuer goeth vpon the breast, and whatsoeuer goeth vpon al foure, or that hath many feete among all creeping thinges that creepe vpon the earth, ye shall not eate of them, for they shalbe abomination.
Wɔn a wɔtwe wɔn ho ase fa wɔn afuru so ne wɔn a wɔnam wɔn nan ɛnan so nyinaa ka ho. Monnnwe wɔn a wɔwɔ nan bebree na wɔwea no nam nso, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn ho agu fi.
43 Ye shall not pollute your selues with any thing that creepeth, neither make your selues vncleane with them, neither defile your selues thereby: ye shall not, I say, be defiled by them,
Mfa wo ho nka wɔn na wo ho angu fi.
44 For I am the Lord your God: be sanctified therefore, and be holy, for I am holy, and defile not your selues with any creeping thing, that creepeth vpon the earth.
Mene Awurade wo Onyankopɔn. Momma mo ho nte wɔ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa ho na monyɛ kronkron, ɛfiri sɛ, meyɛ kronkron. Yei enti, mommfa mo nsa nkɔka mmoa a wɔwea fam yi mu biara mfa ngu mo ho fi.
45 For I am the Lord that brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to be your God, and that you should be holy, for I am holy.
Mene Awurade a meyii mo firii Misraim de mo bɛyɛɛ mo Onyankopɔn no. Ɛno enti, ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ kronkron, ɛfiri sɛ, meyɛ kronkron.
46 This is the law of beasts, and of foules, and of euery liuing thing that moueth in the waters, and of euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth:
“‘Yei ne mmara a ɛfa mmoa, nnomaa, nsuomnam ne wɔn a wɔwea asase so no ho.
47 That there may be a difference betweene the vncleane and cleane, and betweene the beast that may be eaten, and the beast that ought not to be eaten.
Yei ne nsonsonoeɛ a ɛda mmoa a wɔn ho te a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe wɔn ɛnam ne wɔn a wɔn ho nte a ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔwe wɔn ɛnam wɔ mmoa a wɔwɔ asase so no ntam.’”
