Leviticus 11

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

Waaqayyos Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe;

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, This [is] the beast which you eat out of all the beasts which [are] on the earth:

“Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhaa: ‘Bineensota lafa irra jiraatan hunda keessaa kanneen isin nyaachuu dandeessan isaan kanaa dha:

3 any dividing a hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.

Bineensa kotteen isaa guutumaan guutuutti baqaqaa taʼe kan alala guuru kam iyyuu nyaachuu dandeessu.

4 Only, this you do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the hoof: the camel, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof is not dividing—it [is] unclean to you;

“‘Kanneen alala qofa guuran yookaan kotteen isaanii qofti baqaqaa taʼe garuu nyaachuu hin qabdan. Gaalli yoo alala guure iyyuu kottee baqaqaa hin qabu; inni isiniif qulqulluu miti.

5 and the hyrax, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof is not divided—it [is] unclean to you;

Osoleen yoo alala guurte iyyuu kottee baqaqaa hin qabdu; isheen isiniif qulqulluu miti.

6 and the hare, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof has not divided—it [is] unclean to you;

Illeettiin yoo alala guurte iyyuu kottee baqaqaa hin qabdu; isheen isiniif qulqulluu miti.

7 and the sow, though it is dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoof, yet it does not bring up the cud—it [is] unclean to you.

Booyyeen yoo kottee baqaqaa qabaate iyyuu alala hin guuru; inni isiniif qulqulluu miti.

8 You do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass—they [are] unclean to you.

Isin foon isaanii nyaachuu yookaan raqa isaanii tuquu hin qabdan; isaan isiniif qulqulluu miti.

9 This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the brooks, them you eat;

“‘Uumamawwan bishaan galaanotaa fi bishaan lageenii keessa jiraatan hunda keessaa kanneen qoochoo fi qola qaban kam iyyuu nyaachuu dandeessu.

10 and anything that does not have fins and scales in the seas, and in the brooks, of any teeming creature of the waters, and of any creature which lives, which [is] in the waters—they [are] an abomination to you;

Garuu uumamawwan galaanotaa fi lageen keessa jiraatan kanneen qoochoo fi qola hin qabne hundi, uumamawwan bishaan keessa munyuuqan hundi yookaan kanneen bishaan keessa jiraatan hundi isiniif xuraaʼoo haa taʼan.

11 indeed, they are an abomination to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you detest their carcass.

Isaan isin duratti xuraaʼoo waan taʼaniif foon isaanii hin nyaatinaa; raqni isaaniis xuraaʼaa haa taʼu.

12 Anything that does not have fins and scales in the waters—it [is] an abomination to you.

Wanni bishaan keessa jiraatu kan qoochoo fi qola hin qabne kam iyyuu isiniif xuraaʼaa haa taʼu.

13 And these you detest of the bird—they are not eaten, they [are] an abomination: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,

“‘Isaan kunneen simbirroota isin jibbuu qabdanii dha; hin nyaataman; isaan xuraaʼoo dha: risaa, rumicha, rumicha gurraacha,

14 and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,

culullee, culullee gurraacha gosa garaa garaa,

15 every raven after its kind,

arraagessa gosa garaa garaa,

16 and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,

guchii, urunguu, allaattii bishaanii, coroffee gosa garaa garaa,

17 and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

urunguu xinnaa, daakiyyee, urunguu guddaa,

18 and the waterhen, and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture,

urunguu adii, urunguu gammoojjii, allaattii raqaa,

19 and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

huummoo, huummoo gosa kamii iyyuu, haadha gaayyee, simbira halkanii.

20 Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four [legs]—it [is] an abomination to you.

“‘Ilbiisonni barrisan kanneen miilla afraniinuu deeman hundi isiniif xuraaʼoo haa taʼani.

21 Only, this you eat of any teeming thing which is flying, which is going on four, which has legs above its feet, to move with them on the earth;

Taʼus ilbiisonni barrisan kanneen miilla afraniinuu deeman keessaa tokko tokko nyaachuu ni dandeessu; isaanis warra ittiin lafa irra utaaluuf miilla dadachaʼu qabanii dha.

22 these of them you eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind;

Isaan keessaas hawwaannisa gosa garaa garaa, hawwaannisa magariisa garaa garaa, farda waaqaa garaa garaa fi korophisa garaa garaa nyaachuu dandeessu.

23 and every teeming thing which is flying, which has four feet—it [is] an abomination to you.

Garuu ilbiisota barrisan kanneen miilla afur qaban biraa hundi isiniif xuraaʼoo haa taʼan.

24 And you are made unclean by these; anyone who is coming against their carcass is unclean until the evening;

“‘Isin wantoota kanneeniin of xureessitu; namni raqa isaanii tuqu kam iyyuu hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼaa dha.

25 and anyone who is lifting up of their carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening—

Namni reeffa isaanii tokko illee lafaa fuudhu kam iyyuu uffata isaa miiccachuu qaba; inni hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼaa taʼa.

26 even every beast which is dividing the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, and is not bringing up the cud—they [are] unclean to you; anyone who is coming against them is unclean.

“‘Bineensi kottee baqaqaa qabu kan kotteen isaa guutumaan guutuutti gargar hin qoodamin yookaan alala hin guurre kam iyyuu isiniif xuraaʼaa dha; namni raqa isaanii tuqu kam iyyuus xuraaʼaa taʼa.

27 And anything going on its paws, among all the beasts which are going on four—they [are] unclean to you; anyone who is coming against their carcass is unclean until the evening;

Bineensota miilla afuriin deeman hunda keessaa kanneen faanaan ejjetan isiniif xuraaʼoo dha; namni raqa isaanii tuqu kam iyyuus hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼaa taʼa.

28 and he who is lifting up their carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening—they [are] unclean to you.

Namni raqa isaanii lafaa fuudhu kam iyyuu uffata isaa miiccachuu qaba; inni hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼaa taʼa. Isaanis isiniif xuraaʼoo dha.

29 And this [is] the unclean to you among the teeming things which are teeming on the earth: the weasel, and the muroid, and the tortoise [[or large lizard]] after its kind,

“‘Uumamawwan lafa irra munyuuqan keessaa isaan kunneen isiniif xuraaʼoo dha; isaanis: tuqaa, hantuuta, loccuu gurguddaa gosa gosaa,

30 and the gecko [[or ferret]], and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole;

loccuu cirrachaa, naacha, qarcoo, qarcabboo fi gaararraa dha.

31 these [are] the unclean to you among all which are teeming; anyone who is coming against them in their death is unclean until the evening.

Uumamawwan lafa irra munyuuqan keessaa isaan kunneen isiniif xuraaʼoo dha; namni raqa isaanii tuqus hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼaa taʼa.

32 And anything on which anyone of them falls, in their death, is unclean, of any vessel of wood or garment or skin or sack, any vessel in which work is done is brought into water, and has been unclean until the evening, then it has been clean;

Uumamawwan sana keessaa tokko yoo duʼee miʼa wayii irra buʼe, miʼi sun faayidaan isaa waan fedhe iyyuu taʼu, inni muka irraa, huccuu irraa, gogaa irraa yookaan keeshaa irraa hojjetamu illee miʼi sun xuraaʼaa taʼa; miʼa sana bishaan keessa buusaa. Innis hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼaa taʼee ergasii immoo qulqulluu taʼa.

33 and any earthen vessel, into the midst of which [any] one of them falls, all that [is] in its midst is unclean, and you break it.

Isaan keessaa tokko okkotee keessa yoo buʼe, wanni okkotee sana keessa jiru hundi xuraaʼaa taʼa; isinis okkotee sana cabsuu qabdu.

34 Of all the food which is eaten, that on which comes [such] water, is unclean, and all drink which is drunk in any [such] vessel is unclean;

Nyaanni nyaatamuu dandaʼu kan garuu bishaan okkotee akkasii keessaa itti naqame kam iyyuu xuraaʼaa dha; dhugaatiin okkotee sana keessaa dhugamuu dandaʼu kam iyyuus xuraaʼaa dha.

35 and anything on which [any] of their carcass falls is unclean; oven or double pots, it is broken down, they [are] unclean, indeed, they are unclean to you.

Wanni raqa uumamawwan kanaa keessaa tokko iyyuu irra buʼu kam iyyuu xuraaʼaa taʼa; eeleen yookaan okkoteen waa itti bilcheessan cabsamuu qaba. Isaan xuraaʼoo dha; isinis akka miʼa xuraaʼaatti isaan ilaalaa.

36 Only, a fountain or pit, a collection of water, is clean, but that which is coming against their carcass is unclean;

Burqaan yookaan boolli bishaan itti kuufamu immoo qulqulluu taʼee tura; garuu namni raqa kana keessaa tokko illee tuqu xuraaʼaa dha.

37 and when [any] of their carcass falls on any sown seed which is sown—it [is] clean;

Raqni tokko sanyii facaafamuuf jiru irra yoo buʼe sanyiin sun qulqulluu taʼee hafa.

38 and when water is put on the seed, and [any] of its carcass has fallen on it—it [is] unclean to you.

Garuu sanyii sana irratti bishaan naqamee raqni wayii yoo irra buʼe sanyiin sun isiniif xuraaʼaa dha.

39 And when any of the beasts which are for food for you dies, he who is coming against its carcass is unclean until the evening;

“‘Horiin akka isin nyaattaniif isiniif eeyyamame tokko yoo duʼe, namni raqa isaa tuqe kam iyyuu hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼaa taʼa.

40 and he who is eating of its carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening; and he who is lifting up its carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening.

Namni raqa sana irraa waa nyaatu wayyaa isaa miiccachuu qaba; inni hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼaa taʼa. Namni raqa sana lafaa fuudhe wayyaa isaa miiccadhuu qaba; innis hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼaa taʼa.

41 And every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth is an abomination, it is not eaten;

“‘Uumamni lafa irra munyuuqu kam iyyuu xuraaʼaa dha; nyaatamuus hin qabu.

42 anything going on the belly, and any going on four, to every multiplier of feet, to every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth—you do not eat them, for they [are] an abomination;

Uumama lafa irra looʼu kan garaadhaan lafa irra looʼu yookaan miilla afuriin yookaan miilla hedduun deemu kam iyyuu hin nyaatinaa; inni xuraaʼaa dha.

43 you do not make yourselves abominable with any teeming thing which is teeming, nor do you make yourselves unclean with them, so that you have been unclean with them.

Uumamawwan kanneen keessaa tokkoon iyyuu of hin xureessinaa. Isin akka xuraaʼoo hin taaneef isaaniin of hin xureessinaa.

44 For I [am] your God YHWH, and you have sanctified yourselves, and you have been holy, for I [am] holy; and you do not defile your persons with any teeming thing which is creeping on the earth;

Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii dha; waan ani qulqulluu taʼeef isinis of qulqulleessaatii qulqulloota taʼaa. Uumama lafa irra munyuuqu kamiin iyyuu of hin xureessinaa.

45 for I [am] YHWH who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt to become your God; and you have been holy, for I [am] holy.

Ani Waaqayyo kan Waaqa keessan taʼuuf jedhee biyya Gibxiitii isin baasee dha; kanaafuu ani qulqulluudhaatii isinis qulqulluu taʼaa.

46 This [is] a law of the beasts, and of the bird, and of every living creature which is moving in the waters, and of every creature which is teeming on the earth,

“‘Seerri waaʼee horii, simbirroo, lubbuu qabeeyyii bishaan keessa munyuuqan hundaa fi uumama lafa irra munyuuqu hundaa kanaa dha.

47 to make separation between the unclean and the pure, and between the beast that is eaten, and the beast that is not eaten.”

Isin waan xuraaʼaa fi waan qulqulluu, uumama nyaatamuu fi kan hin nyaatamne addaan baaftanii beekuu qabdu.’”
