Mose 3 11

1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron bena,

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

2 “Migblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Le lã siwo katã nɔa anyigba dzi la, esiawoe nye esiwo miaɖu.

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

3 Miate ŋu aɖu lã sia lã si ƒe afɔkli me fe, eye wòdzɔa nu gaɖuna.

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

4 “‘Lã aɖewo li siwo dzɔa nu gaɖuna alo woƒe afɔkli me koe fe, gake migaɖu wo o. Togbɔ be kposɔ ɖua nu, dzonɛ gaɖuna hã la, eƒe afɔkli me mefe o. Enye lã makɔmakɔ na mi.

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;

5 Xɔfie, togbɔ be edzɔa nu gaɖuna hã la, eƒe afɔkli me mefe o. Enye la makɔmakɔ na mi.

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

6 Fɔmizi, togbɔ be edzɔa nu gaɖuna hã la, eƒe afɔkli me mefe o. Lã makɔmakɔ wònye na mi.

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

7 Ha, togbɔ be eƒe afɔkli me fe hã la, medzɔa nu gaɖuna o. Lã makɔmakɔ wònye na mi.

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.

8 Mele be miaɖu eƒe lã loo alo aka asi eƒe kukua teti hã ŋu o. Nu makɔmakɔ wònye na mi.

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

9 “‘Le tɔmelãwo katã gome la, miekpɔ mɔ aɖu ɖe sia ɖe si ŋu adza kple tsro le, ne woɖe wo tso tɔsisiwo me loo alo atsiaƒu me.

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;

10 Ke lã siwo katã le atsiaƒu me alo tɔ me esiwo ŋu adza alo tsro mele o, woɖale lã siwo katã ƒua tsi dome alo nu gbagbe bubu siwo katã le tɔ me dome o, wonye ŋunyɔnu na mi.

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;

11 Esi wònye be wonye ŋunyɔnuwo na mi ta la, migaɖu woƒe lã o, eye woƒe kukua hã nanyɔ ŋu na mi.

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

12 Nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe si le tɔ me, esi ŋu tsro kple adza mele o la nanye ŋunyɔnu na mi.

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

13 “‘Xe siawo nanyɔ ŋu na mi, eye miaɖu wo o, elabena wonye ŋunyɔnuwo: hɔ̃, akaga, akpo,

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

14 aʋako dzĩtɔwo kple yibɔtɔwo,

and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,

15 akpaviã ƒomevi vovovoawo,

every raven after its kind,

16 adzexe si to dzo ɖe ta, adzexe ŋutɔ, golo, tsalɛ̃, aʋako,

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

17 ʋlukuku, tsimese, kple aŋɔɣi,

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

18 favieʋuto, aluge kple akaga,

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

19 damixe, ako ƒomeviwo, agudzixe kple agutɔ.

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

20 “‘Nudzodzoe siwo katã zɔna le afɔ ene dzi, woanye ŋunyɔnu na mi.

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

21 Ke nudzodzoe aɖewo li siwo zɔna le afɔ ene dzi, esiwo miate ŋu aɖu. Esiawoe nye esiwo te afɔwo le hena kpotiti le anyigba.

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;

22 Esiwo miaɖu woe nye ʋetsuvi tɔgbiwo katã, gbagblami kple abɔ ƒomeviwo katã.

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;

23 Miekpɔ mɔ aɖu nu bubu siwo katã dzona, eye woto afɔ ene la dometɔ aɖeke o.

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

24 “‘Ame sia ame si aka asi woƒe kukua ŋu la ŋu makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ,

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

25 eye ele nɛ be wòanya eƒe awuwo enumake. Ele nɛ hã be wòaɖe eɖokui ɖe aga va se ɖe fiẽ abe ame si ŋuti mekɔ o ene.

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

26 “‘Ame si ka asi lã si ƒe afɔkli me mefe tututu o, alo lã si medzɔa nu gaɖuna o ŋu la hã ŋuti mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.

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.

27 Miekpɔ mɔ aɖu lã afɔene siwo ƒe afɔwo nu fetsu le o. Ame si ka asi woƒe kukua ŋu hã ŋuti mekɔ o, va se ɖe fiẽ.

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;

28 Ele be ame si atsɔ eƒe kukua aƒu gbe la nanya eƒe awuwo, eye eŋuti makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ, elabena mede se na mi tso wo ŋu.

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

29 “‘Lã siwo zɔna le anyigba, eye wo ŋu mekɔ na mi o la woe nye, adɔ, afi kple adoglo ƒomeviwo,

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,

30 xɔmenyatri, ve, adoglo, atɔ kple agama.

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

31 Ame sia ame si ka asi nu siawo ƒe kukuawo ŋu la ŋu mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.

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.

32 Nu sia nu si dzi nu siawo dometɔ aɖe ƒe kukua ge dze la ŋu mekɔ o. Ne ege dze nu si wowɔ kple ati, avɔ, ɖovu alo kotoku aɖe dzi la, ele be woaklɔe kple tsi alo anyae, eye eŋuti makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ. Le esia megbe la, woagate ŋu awɔ eŋu dɔ.

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;

33 Ne ege dze agba aɖe si wome kple tsu me la, nu sia nu si le agba la me la ŋu mekɔ o, eye ele be woagbã agba la.

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.

34 Ne tsi si wotsɔ klɔ nu makɔmakɔ aɖe ŋu hlẽ ɖe nuɖuɖu aɖe ŋu la, nuɖuɖu la ŋu mekɔ o. Nunono si le agba makɔmakɔ aɖe me hã ŋu mekɔ o.

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;

35 Ne lã makɔmakɔ siawo dometɔ aɖe ƒe kukua ka abolokpo aɖe ŋu la, abolokpo la hã ŋu mekɔ o, eya ta ele be woagbãe.

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.

36 Ne nu siawo ƒe kuku aɖe ge ɖe tɔʋu alo tsigago aɖe si me tsi le la me la, tsi la menye tsi makɔmakɔ o, gake ame si ɖe nu kukua le tsia me ya la ŋu mekɔ o.

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

37 Ne nu kukua ka nuku aɖe si ƒã ge wole ŋu la, nuku la mezu nuku makɔmakɔ o.

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

38 Ke ne nukua ƒo tsi hafi nu kuku la ge ɖe edzi la, ekema nuku ƒotsi la ŋu mekɔ o.

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

39 “‘Ne dɔléle wu lã aɖe si ŋu woɖe mɔ le be woaɖu la, ame si ka asi lã la ƒe kukua ŋu la ŋu mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.

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;

40 Gawu la, ele be ame si ɖu eƒe lã alo tsɔe yi ɖaƒu gbe la nanya eƒe awuwo, eye eŋuti makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.

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.

41 “‘Nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe si tana le anyigba dzi la nye nu si woatsri; womaɖui o.

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

42 Migaɖu nu gbagbe si tana le anyigba le eƒe ƒodo dzi alo wòzɔna kple afɔ ene loo alo le afɔ geɖewo dzi la o. Enye nu si woatsri.

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;

43 Migaƒo ɖi mia ɖokuiwo to asikaka wo ŋu me o.

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.

44 Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu. Minɔ dzadzɛe le nu siawo ŋuti, eye mianɔ kɔkɔe, elabena kɔkɔetɔe menye. Eya ta migaƒo ɖi mia ɖokuiwo to asikaka nu siwo tana le anyigba la dometɔ aɖeke ŋu me o.

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;

45 Elabena nyee nye Yehowa si kplɔ mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi be manye miaƒe Mawu. Ele na mi be mianɔ kɔkɔe, elabena kɔkɔetɔe menye.

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.

46 “‘Esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe lãwo, xewo kple nu siwo katã ƒua tsi alo tana le anyigba la ŋu.

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,

47 Esiawoe nye vovototo siwo le nu siwo ŋuti kɔ, eye woaɖu wo kple nu siwo ŋuti mekɔ o, eye womaɖu wo o le nu gbagbe siwo nye lãwo le anyigba dzi la dome.’”

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