Leviticus 11
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying unto them:
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn, sị,
2 Speak ye unto the sons of Israel saying, —These are the living things which ye may eat, of all the beasts which are upon 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 cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud among beasts, that, may 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, and of them that part the hoof, —the camel, because though he, cheweth the cud, yet, the hoof, he parteth not, unclean, he is to 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, though he cheweth the cud, yet, the hoof, he parteth not, —unclean, he is to 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 though she cheweth the cud, yet the hoof, she parteth not, —unclean, she is to 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, because though he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, yet, the cud, he cheweth not, —unclean, he is 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, —unclean, they are to you.
Unu emetụkwala ozu ha aka maọbụ rie anụ ha, nʼihi na ha bụ ihe na-adịghị ọcha nye unu.
9 these, may ye eat, of all that are in the waters, —all that have fins and scales in the waters, in the seas and in the rivers, them, may 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 But, all that have not fins and scales, in the seas and in the rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of all the living souls that are in the waters, an abomination, they are 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 and an abomination, shall they remain to you, —of their flesh, ye shall not eat, and their carcases, shall ye abhor.
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 not fins and scales in the waters, an abomination, it is unto you.
Ihe ọbụla bi nʼime mmiri nke na-enweghị ntu na akpịrịkpa nʼahụ ha, bụ nke unu ga-asọ asọ.
13 And, these, shall ye abhor of birds, they shall not be eaten, an abomination, they are, —the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey;
“‘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 falcon, after its kind;
ndagbụ na ọgankwọ dị iche iche,
15 every raven, after its kind;
ugolọma ọbụla dị iche iche,
16 and the female ostrich, and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, —and the hawk after its kind;
enyi nnụnụ, egbe abalị, nnụnụ oke osimiri na egbe dị iche iche,
17 and the pelican and the gannet, and the bittern;
okwukwu nta, komorant na okwukwu ukwu,
18 and the swan and the vomiting pelican and the little vulture;
okwukwu nwere mpi, okwolo na udele,
19 and the stork, and the parrot, after its kind, —and the mountain-cock and the bat.
ụgbala, utù dị iche iche, nnụnụ ọdụ nta na ụsụ.
20 Every creeping thing that flieth, that goeth on all-fours, an abomination, it is 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 Nevertheless, these, may ye eat, of all creeping things that fly, that go on all-fours, —such as have legs above their feet, to leap therewith, 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 these of them, may ye eat: the swarming-locust after its kind, and the devouring locust after its kind, —and the chargol-locust after its kind, and the chagab-locust after its 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 every [other] creeping thing that flieth, which hath four feet, an abomination, it is 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, shall ye count yourselves unclean—whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the evening;
“‘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 away aught of the carcase of them, shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
Onye ọbụla metụrụ otu nʼime ozu ha aka ga-asakwa uwe ya, gụọkwa onwe ya dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo uhuruchi.
26 As for every kind of beast which, though it parteth the hoof, yet is not cloven-footed nor cheweth the cud, unclean, they are unto you, —every one who 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, all that go upon their paws, among all the living things that go on all-fours, unclean, they are unto you, —whoso toucheth the carcase of them, shall be unclean until the evening.
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 away the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the evening, —unclean, they are 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 And, these, unto you, shall be unclean, among the creeping things that creep upon the earth, —the weasel and the mouse, and the lizard after its 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 wall-lizard, —and the winding lizard, and the mole.
na ọba mmiri, na ngwere aghụ, na ngwere, na ngwere uzuzu, na ogumagala.
31 These, are they which are unclean to you among all that creep, —whosoever toucheth them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening;
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, everything whereon any of them shall fall when they are dead shall be unclean—of any articles of wood, or cloth, or skin, or sackcloth, any article wherewith any work is done, —shall be put in water and shall be unclean until the evening, and then be clean,
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, as for any earthen vessel whereinto any of them may fall, everything therein shall be unclean, and, the vessel itself, shall ye break in pieces.
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 the food that may be eaten, that whereon shall come water, shall be unclean, —and, all drink which might be drunk in any [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, everything whereon shall fall any part of the carcase of them shall be unclean, oven or fire-range, it shall be destroyed, unclean, they are, —and, unclean, Shall they remain to 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 Notwithstanding, a fountain or cistern wherein is a gathering of waters shall be clean, —but, he that toucheth the carcase of them 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 when any part of the carcase of them shall fall upon seed for sowing, which is to be sown, the same is, clean.
Ọ bụrụ na ozu anụ ahụ adakwasị mkpụrụ ubi a na-aga ịkụ nʼubi, ọ gaghị emerụ ha.
38 But, when water shall be put upon seed, and there shall fall thereon any part of the carcase of them, unclean, it is to 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, when any of the beasts which are yours for food shall die, he that toucheth the carcase of it shall be unclean until the evening.
“‘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 evening, —he also that carrieth away the carcase thereof shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
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, any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, an abomination, it is—it shall not be eaten.
“‘Anụmanụ ọbụla na-akpụgharị nʼala bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nye unu. Unu erikwala ha.
42 Everything that goeth upon the belly, and everything that goeth upon all-fours, even to everything having many feet, as regardeth any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, ye shall not eat them for, an abomination, they are.
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 Do not make your persons abominable, with any creeping thing that creepeth, —neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should become unclean 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—Yahweh, am your God, therefore shall ye hallow yourselves and remain holy; for, holy, am, I,—therefore shall ye not make your persons unclean, with any creeping thing that crawleth 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—Yahweh, am he that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, that I might become your God, —therefore shall ye be holy, for, holy, am, I.
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 beast and of bird, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, —and as to every soul 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 That ye may make a difference—between the unclean and the clean, —and between the living thing that may be eaten, and the living thing which 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.’”
