BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
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:
“Israel ca rhoek te voek rhoi lamtah, diklai hmankah rhamsa boeih khuiah na caak uh ham mulhing he thui pah.
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).
Rhamsa khuiah a khomae rhak tih a khomae dongkah a khorhaek aka thal neh caknaih aka naih boeih te tah ca uh.
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.

5 Rock badgers chew their cuds but do not have split hooves, so they are unacceptable for you to eat.

9 From all the creatures that live in the oceans and the streams, you are permitted to eat any that have fins and scales.

33 If one of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it becomes defiled, and you must break that pot into pieces.

38 But if water has been put on the seeds and then a carcass falls on them, the seeds must be thrown away.

Aka luem rhulcai boeih neh na hinglu te rhun uh boeh. Amih nen khaw poeih uh boel lamtah amih long khaw nang m'poeih uh boel saeh.
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 tah nangmih Pathen BOEIPA ni. Te dongah ciim uh lamtah ka cim bangla a cim la om uh. Te dongah diklai kah aka colh rhulcai boeih dongah na hinglu te poeih uh boeh.
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.
