Leviticus 11
1 And YHWH spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn, sị,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
“Gwanụ ụmụ Izrel, sị, ‘Nʼime anụmanụ niile dị nʼụwa, ndị a bụ anụmanụ unu ga-eri.
3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
Unu nwere ike iri anụmanụ ọbụla ụkwụ ya wara njakpa. nke na-atagharị ọnụ.
4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto 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 coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto 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 he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto 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, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he 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 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
Unu emetụkwala ozu ha aka maọbụ rie anụ ha, nʼihi na ha bụ ihe na-adịghị ọcha nye unu.
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye 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 that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto 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 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
Ebe ha bụ ihe na-asọ oyi nye unu, unu ekwesighị iri ha, unu ga-agụkwa ozu ha ka ihe na-adịghị ọcha.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
Ihe ọbụla bi nʼime mmiri nke na-enweghị ntu na akpịrịkpa nʼahụ ha, bụ nke unu ga-asọ asọ.
13 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
“‘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 after his kind;
ndagbụ na ọgankwọ dị iche iche,
15 Every raven after his kind;
ugolọma ọbụla dị iche iche,
16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
enyi nnụnụ, egbe abalị, nnụnụ oke osimiri na egbe dị iche iche,
17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
okwukwu nta, komorant na okwukwu ukwu,
18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
okwukwu nwere mpi, okwolo na udele,
19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
ụgbala, utù dị iche iche, nnụnụ ọdụ nta na ụsụ.
20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
“‘Ụmụ ahụhụ niile na-efe efe nke na-aga ije nʼụkwụ anọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nye unu, unu agaghị eri ya.
21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon 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 Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
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 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
Ahụhụ ndị ọzọ niile na-efe efe, ndị nwere ụkwụ anọ, bụ ihe rụrụ arụ. Unu ekwesighị iri ha.
24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
“‘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 whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
Onye ọbụla metụrụ otu nʼime ozu ha aka ga-asakwa uwe ya, gụọkwa onwe ya dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo uhuruchi.
26 The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
“‘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 whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
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 beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto 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 These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,
“‘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 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
na ọba mmiri, na ngwere aghụ, na ngwere, na ngwere uzuzu, na ogumagala.
31 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
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 upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.
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, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
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 Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every 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 whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto 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 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase 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 any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to 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 any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto 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 any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
“‘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 eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
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 creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
“‘Anụmanụ ọbụla na-akpụgharị nʼala bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nye unu. Unu erikwala ha.
42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
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 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
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 YHWH your Elohim: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth 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 YHWH that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your Elohim: ye shall therefore be holy, for I 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 of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon 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 make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may 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.’”
