Leviticus 11
1 Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
2 “Tell the Israeli people that [this is what Yahweh says]: From all the animals that live on the land, these are the ones that you are permitted to eat:

3 The ones that have hooves that are completely split and that (chew their cuds/bring their food up from their stomachs to chew it again).
khokpadae kangphae, rawkcaak pathok thaih moinawk to caa oh, tiah a naa.
4 There are some animals that chew their cuds but do not have split hooves, and some animals that have split hooves but do not chew their cuds. You must not eat any of those animals. [For example], camels chew their cuds but do not have split hooves, so they are unacceptable for you to eat.
Rawkcaak loe pathok, khokpadae doeh angphae, toe caak koi ai moinawk thungah kaengkuu hrang loe, rawkcaak pathok thaih, toe khokpadae angphae ai pongah, nangcae han ciim ai.

7 Pigs have completely split hooves but they do not chew their cuds, so they are unacceptable for you to eat.

8 All of those animals are unacceptable for you, so you must not eat their meat or even touch their carcasses.
To baktih moinawk to caa hmah loe, kadueh qok doeh sui hmah; nangcae han ciim ai.
9 From all the creatures that live in the oceans and the streams, you are permitted to eat any that have fins and scales.
Tuipui hoi vapui ih tanganawk thungah loe pakhraeh hoi ahlip kaom tanga to caa ah.
10 But you must detest [and not eat] those that do not have fins and scales. That includes ones that are very small.
Toe tuipui hoi vapui ah kaom, pakhraeh hoi ahlip kaom ai, tuipui hoi vapui thungah kaom, hinghaih katawn, angtawt thaih moinawk loe, nangcae hanah panuet thoh.
11 You must despise them, and you must not eat their meat, and you must detest their carcasses.

12 You must detest everything that lives in the water that does not have fins and scales.

20 You must detest [and not eat] flying insects that [sometimes] walk on the ground [MTY].
Pakhraeh kaom, khok palito hoi kavak moinawk boih loe, nangcae han panuet thoh.
21 But you are permitted to eat creatures with wings that sometimes walk on the ground if they have jointed legs for hopping around.

24 ‘There are certain creatures that if you touch their carcasses you will become defiled. Anyone who touches their carcasses must not touch other people until that evening.
To moinawk loe ciim ai; to moi kadueh qok sui kami loe duembang khoek to ciim mak ai.
25 Anyone who picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes and not touch other people until that evening.
To baktih moi qok sui kami loe, a khukbuen to pasuk han oh; anih loe duembang khoek to ciim mak ai.
26 ‘The animals whose carcasses you must not touch are those that have hooves that are not completely divided or animals that do not chew their cuds. Anyone who touches the carcasses of any of those animals becomes (defiled/unacceptable to me).
Khokpadae akah boih ai, rawkcaak doeh pathok ai moinawk loe nangcae han ciim ai; to baktih kadueh moi sui kami loe ciim ai.
27 From all the animals that walk on the ground, you must not touch the carcasses of those that have paws to walk on. Anyone who touches one of their carcasses must not touch other people until that evening.
Khok palito hoi kacaeh moinawk boih, khokpacin hoiah kavak moinawk boih loe, nangcae han ciim ai; to baktih kadueh moi sui kami loe duembang khoek to ciim mak ai.
28 Anyone who picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes and not touch other people until that evening, because touching their carcasses (defiles you/causes you to become unacceptable to me).
To baktih kadueh moi sui kami loe, a khukbuen to pasuk han oh; anih loe duembang khoek to ciim mak ai; to moi loe nangcae han ciim ai.
29 ‘From all the animals that walk on the ground, these are the ones that (defile you/cause you to become unacceptable to me) [if you touch them]: Moles, rats, any kind of lizard,
Long ah kavak moinawk boih doeh, nangcae han ciim ai; caham, pazu, tokkang congca,
30 geckos, skinks, and chameleons.
tawkkeh, kingkok, lungnat hoi salamhnawk to caa o hmah.
31 Those creatures that scurry across the ground (defile you/cause you to become unacceptable to me); anyone who touches one of their carcasses must not touch other people until the evening.
Long ah avak moinawk boih loe nangcae han panuet thoh; to baktih kadueh moi sui kami loe, duembang khoek to ciim mak ai.
32 When one of those creatures dies and falls on something, the thing that it falls on, whatever it is used for, will become (defiled/unacceptable to me), whether it is made of wood or cloth or the hide of some animal or from rough cloth. You must put it in water. Then you must not use it until that evening.
To moinawk to dueh moe, hmuen maeto nuiah krah moeng nahaeloe, to hmuen loe ciim mak ai boeh; to kadueh moi to thing maw, to tih ai boeh loe khukbuen maw, to ai boeh loe moi hin nuiah maw, to tih ai boeh loe kazii nuiah maw, krah moeng nahaeloe, to hmuennawk loe ciim mak ai boeh; to hmuennawk to tui padung ah; duembang khoek to ciim mak ai; to tiah sak pacoeng naah ni ciim vop tih.
33 If one of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it becomes defiled, and you must break that pot into pieces.
To kadueh moi to long laom maeto nuiah krah moeng nahaeloe, to long laom loe ciim ai boeh pongah, laom to pakhoih han oh.
34 If you pour water from that pot on any food, you must not eat that food. And you must not drink any water from that pot.
To laom thung ih tui to caak koi buh aan pongah krah moeng nahaeloe, ciim mak ai; a krakhaih boengloeng thung ih tui doeh ciim mak ai boeh.
35 Anything that one of the carcasses of those creatures falls on becomes (defiled/unacceptable to me); even if it falls on an oven or a cooking pot, anything that it falls on must be broken into pieces. It becomes unacceptable to me and you must not use it again.
To moi loe takoeng nuiah maw, to tih ai boeh loe laom nuiah maw, krah moeng nahaeloe, to hmuennawk loe nangcae han ciim ai boeh pongah, pakhoih boih han oh.
36 If one of their carcasses falls into a spring or a pit for storing water, the water may still be drunk, but anyone who touches one of those carcasses becomes unacceptable to me.
Vacong, to tih ai boeh loe tuibap ih tui loe ciim, toe kadueh moi maeto mah sui moeng ih hmuen boih loe ciim mak ai boeh.
37 If one of those carcasses falls on seeds that are to be planted, those seeds are still acceptable to be planted.
Toe kadueh moi to patit han suek ih aanmu nuiah krah moeng nahaeloe, aanmu loe ciim tih.
38 But if water has been put on the seeds and then a carcass falls on them, the seeds must be thrown away.
Toe tui bawh ih aanmu nuiah kadueh moi maeto krah nahaeloe, nangcae han ciim mak ai boeh.
39 ‘If an animal [whose meat] you are permitted to eat dies, anyone who touches its carcass must not touch other people until that evening.
Na caak o han koi moi maeto duek naah, kadueh moi sui kami loe, duembang khoek to ciim mak ai.
40 Anyone who eats some meat from that carcass must wash his clothes, and then he must not touch anyone until that evening.

41 ‘All creatures that scurry across the ground, including those that move on their bellies and those that crawl, are detestable, and they must not be eaten.
Long ah zok hoi avak moi loe kawbaktih moi doeh panuet thok moi ah oh; caak han om ai.
Long ah zok hoi kavak moi maw, to tih ai boeh loe khok palito hoiah kacaeh moi maw, to tih ai boeh loe khok palito pongah kapop khoknawk hoi kacaeh moi to caa o hmah; nangcae han panuet thoh.
43 Do not (defile yourselves/cause you to become unacceptable to me) by [eating] any of those creatures [DOU].
Long ah kavak kawbaktih moi hoiah doeh nangmah hoi nangmah to panuet thok ah sah hmah; to moinawk hoiah kaciim ai hmuen to sah hmah.
44 I am Yahweh your God, and I am holy, so you must consecrate yourselves and be holy. You must avoid eating things that cause you to be unacceptable to me. Do not cause yourselves to become unacceptable to me by eating creatures that scurry across the ground.
Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh; Kai loe ciimcai pongah, nangmacae hoi nangmacae to kaciim ah angpaek oh loe, ciimcai oh; nangmacae hoi nangmacae to long ah kavak moi hoiah amhnong o hmah.
45 I am Yahweh, the one who freed you from [being slaves in] Egypt, in order to be your God. Therefore, because I am holy, you must be holy.
Kai loe Izip prae thung hoi nangcae zaehoikung, na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh; to pongah Ka ciimcai baktih toengah, nangcae doeh ciimcai oh.
46 'Those are the regulations concerning animals and birds, all the living creatures that live in water or scurry across the ground.
Hae loe hinghaih katawn, long nui hoi tui thungah kavak moi kasannawk, tavaanawk boih kasaeng daan ah oh;
47 You must learn what things [I say] are acceptable to me and what things are not, and learn what things you are permitted to eat and what things you are not permitted to eat.’”
