< Alawii 11 >
1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
2 “Ĩrai andũ a Isiraeli ũũ, ‘Gatagatĩ-inĩ ka nyamũ ciothe iria irĩ bũrũri-inĩ-rĩ, ici nĩcio mũngĩrĩa:
Speak you to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which you shall eat of all beasts that are upon the earth.
3 No mũrĩe nyamũ o yothe ĩrĩ mahũngũ marekanĩtie gatagatĩ biũ na ĩcookagia ithagumia.
Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud among beasts, these you shall eat.
4 “‘Nĩ kũrĩ nyamũ imwe icookagia o ithagumia tu, na ingĩ irĩ o mahũngũ marekanĩtie; icio mũtikanacirĩe. Ngamĩĩra o na aakorwo nĩĩcookagia ithagumia-rĩ, mahũngũ mayo matirekanĩtie; ĩyo ĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
But of these you shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those that part the hoofs, and divide claws; the camel, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
5 Gĩkami o na aakorwo nĩgĩcookagia ithagumia-rĩ, mahũngũ makĩo matirekanĩtie; kĩu kĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
6 Mbũkũ o na aakorwo nĩĩcookagia ithagumia-rĩ, mahũngũ mayo matirekanĩtie; ĩyo ĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
And the hare, because it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
7 Nayo ngũrwe o na akorwo mahũngũ mayo nĩmarekanĩtie biũ-rĩ, ndĩcookagia ithagumia; ĩyo ĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
And the swine, because this [animal] divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, and it does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.
8 Mũtikanarĩe nyama ciacio kana mũhutie ciimba ciacio; icio irĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcases; these are unclean to you.
9 “‘Harĩ ciũmbe ciothe iria itũũraga maaĩ-inĩ ma iria na ma tũrũũĩ-rĩ, no mũrĩe ciothe iria irĩ mathagu manyiitaine na nĩ irĩ ngaracũ mwĩrĩ.
And these [are] what you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all things that have fins and scales in the waters, and in the seas, and in the brooks, these you shall eat.
10 No ciũmbe ciothe iria irĩ iria-inĩ kana tũrũũĩ-inĩ, na itirĩ mathagu manyiitaine o hamwe na ngaracũ mwĩrĩ, irĩ imwe cia iria ithiiaga irĩ hamwe, kana irĩ ciothe cia iria irĩ muoyo kũu maaĩ-inĩ; no nginya mũcithũũre biũ.
And all things which have not fins or scales in the water, or in the seas, and in the brooks, of all which the waters produce, and of every soul living in the water, are an abomination; and they shall be abominations to you.
11 Na tondũ no nginya mũcithũũre-rĩ, mũtikanarĩe nyama ciacio, na no nginya mũthũũre ciimba ciacio biũ.
You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall abhor their carcases.
12 Kĩndũ o gĩothe gĩtũũraga maaĩ-inĩ na gĩtirĩ mathagu manyiitaine kana ngaracũ mwĩrĩ, nĩciagũthũũrwo nĩ inyuĩ biũ.
And all things that have not fins or scales of those that are in the waters, these are an abomination to you.
13 “‘Ici nĩcio nyoni iria mwagĩrĩirwo nĩgũthũũra na mũtangĩrĩa tondũ nĩ thũũre; nacio nĩ nderi, na ndiyũ, na ndiyũ iria njirũ,
And these are the things which you shall abhor of birds, and they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle.
14 na hũngũ ĩrĩa ndune, na mũthemba o wothe wa hũngũ iria njirũ,
And the vulture, and the kite, and the like to it;
and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant, and the like to it:
16 na ndundu ĩrĩa ĩrĩ rũhĩa, na ndundu ĩrĩa ĩgambaga, na nyoni ya iria-inĩ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ mathagu maraaya, na mũthemba o wothe wa rwĩgĩ,

17 na gatundu karĩa kanini, na nyoni ya iria-inĩ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ ngingo ndaaya, na ndundu ĩrĩa nene,

19 na karoga-ngunũ, na mĩthemba yothe ya cũcũ-wa-njoka, na hudihuda, o na rũhuhu.
and the heron, and the lapwing, and the like to it, and the hoopoe and the bat.
20 “‘Tũnyamũ tuothe tũrĩa tũmbũkaga na tũthiiagĩra thĩ na magũrũ mana nĩ mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũtũthũũra mũno.
And all winged creatures that creep, which go upon four feet, are abominations to you.
21 No nĩ kũrĩ tũnyamũ tũmwe tũrĩ mathagu na tũthiiaga na magũrũ mana tũrĩa mũngĩrĩa; natuo nĩ tũrĩa tũrĩ na magũrũ marĩ nyunĩro ma gũtũteithia kũrũga.
But these you shall eat of the creeping winged animals, which go upon four feet, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on the earth.
22 Thĩinĩ wa tuo no mũrĩe mĩthemba yothe ya ngigĩ, na ndararĩki, na ngiria, o na kana ndaahi.
And these of them you shall eat: the caterpillar and his like, and the attacus and his like, and the cantharus and his like, and the locust and his like.
23 No tũnyamũ tũu tũngĩ tuothe tũrĩ mathagu na tũrĩ na magũrũ mana no nginya mũtũthũũre mũno.
Every creeping thing from among the birds, which has four feet, is an abomination to you.
24 “‘Nĩmũgethaahia na maũndũ maya; ũrĩa wothe ũngĩhutia ciimba ciatuo agaatinda arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
And by these you shall be defiled; every one that touches their carcases shall be unclean till the evening.
25 Mũndũ o wothe ũkooya kĩimba gĩatuo no nginya athambie nguo ciake, na nĩagatinda arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
And every one that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till the evening.
26 “‘Nyamũ o yothe ĩrekanĩtie mahũngũ no matirekanĩtie biũ, kana ĩrĩa ĩtacookagia ithagumia, ĩyo ĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ; mũndũ o wothe ũkaahutia kĩimba kĩa ĩmwe yacio nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu.
And whichever among the beasts divides the hoof and makes claws, and does not chew the cud, shall be unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.
27 Harĩ nyamũ ciothe iria ithiiaga na magũrũ mana-rĩ, iria ikinyaga na ithu irĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ; mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũkaahutia ciimba ciacio agaatinda arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
And every one among all the wild beasts that moves upon its fore feet, which goes on all four, is unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.
28 Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩoya ciimba ciacio no nginya athambie nguo ciake, na atiinde arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ. Icio irĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
And he that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till evening: these are unclean to you.
29 “‘Harĩ nyamũ ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, ici nĩcio irĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ: mũrũngũru na mbĩa, na njagathi iria nene cia mĩthemba yothe,
And these [are] unclean to you of reptiles upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the lizard,
30 na gĩthenyũka, na kĩgurumũki, na njagathi, na gĩcagathi kĩrĩa kĩa mahiga-inĩ, na kĩĩmbu.
the ferret, and the chameleon, and the evet, and the newt, and the mole.
31 Harĩ iria ciothe ithiiagĩra thĩ, ici irĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ. Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩcihutia ikuĩte-rĩ, agaatinda arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
These are unclean to you of all the reptiles which are on the earth; every one who touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.
32 Rĩrĩa ĩmwe yacio ĩngĩkua na ĩgũĩre kĩndũ, kĩndũ kĩu o na kĩngĩkorwo kĩrĩ kĩa wĩra ũrĩkũ, nĩgĩkanyiitwo nĩ thaahu, o na aakorwo gĩthondeketwo na mbaũ, kana gĩtambaya, kana rũũa kana ikũnia. Nĩkĩrindwo maaĩ-inĩ; gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ, na nĩgĩgacooka gĩthirwo nĩ thaahu.
And on whatever one of their dead bodies shall fall it shall be unclean; whatever wooden vessel, or garment, or skin, or sack it may be, every vessel in which work should be done, shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean till evening; and [then] it shall be clean.
33 Nyamũ ĩmwe ya icio ĩngĩgũa thĩinĩ wa nyũngũ ya rĩũmba-rĩ, kĩndũ kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wayo nĩgĩkanyiitwo nĩ thaahu, na no nginya mũũrage nyũngũ ĩyo.
And every earthen vessel into which one of these things shall fall, whatever is inside it, shall be unclean, and it shall be broken.
34 Irio o ciothe ingĩrĩĩo no ikorwo irĩ na maaĩ moimĩte nyũngũ-inĩ ta ĩyo irĩ na thaahu, na kĩndũ o gĩothe gĩa kũnyuuo kiumĩte thĩinĩ wayo kĩrĩ na thaahu.
And all food that is eaten, on which water shall come [from such a vessel], shall be unclean; and every beverage which is drunk in any [such] vessel, shall be unclean.
35 Kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩngĩkaagwĩrwo nĩ kĩimba kĩmwe gĩacio, nĩgĩkanyiitwo nĩ thaahu; riiko kana nyũngũ ya kũruga no nginya ciũragwo. Indo icio irĩ na thaahu, nacio indo icio nĩigatuĩka thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
And every thing on which there shall fall of their dead bodies shall be unclean; ovens and stands for jars shall be broken down: these are unclean, and they shall be unclean to you.
36 No rĩrĩ, gĩthima kana irima rĩa maaĩ, icio itingĩnyiitwo nĩ thaahu, no mũndũ o wothe ũkaahutia kĩimba kĩmwe kĩa indo icio irĩ thaahu nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu.
Only [if the water be] of fountains of water, or a pool, or confluence of water, it shall be clean; but he that touches their carcases shall be unclean.
37 Kĩimba kĩngĩkaagwĩra mbeũ o na irĩkũ cia kũhaandwo, itikanyiitwo nĩ thaahu.
And if one of their carcases should fall upon any sowing seed which shall be sown, it shall be clean.

But if water be poured on any seed, and one of their dead bodies fall upon it, it is unclean to you.
39 “‘Nyamũ ĩrĩa mwĩtĩkĩrĩtio kũrĩa ĩngĩkua, mũndũ o wothe ũkaahutia kĩimba kĩayo agaatinda arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
And if one of the cattle die, which it is lawful for you to eat, he that touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.
40 Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩrĩa nyama cia kĩimba kĩu no nginya athambie nguo ciake, nake agaatinda arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ. Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩoya kĩimba kĩu no nginya athambie nguo ciake, nake atiinde arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
And he that eats of their carcases shall wash his garments, and be unclean till evening; and he that carries any of their carcases shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean till evening.

And every reptile that creeps on the earth, this shall be an abomination to you; it shall not be eaten.
42 Mũtikanarĩe kĩũmbe gĩothe kĩrĩa gĩtambaga thĩ, kana gĩthiiaga na nda, kana na magũrũ mothe mana, kana magũrũ maingĩ; icio mũcithũũre mũno.
And every [animal] that creeps on its belly, and every one that goes on four [feet] continually, which abounds with feet among all the reptiles creeping upon the earth—you shall not eat it, for it is an abomination to you.
43 Mũtikanethaahie na kĩũmbe o na kĩmwe gĩacio. Mũtikaneĩkĩre thaahu nĩ ũndũ wacio kana mũreke imũgwatie thaahu.
And you shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles that creep upon the earth, and you shall not be polluted with them, and you shall not be unclean by them.
44 Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu; mwĩamũrei na mwĩtherie, tondũ niĩ ndĩ mũtheru. Mũtikanethaahie na kĩũmbe o gĩothe kĩrĩa gĩtambaga thĩ.
For I am the Lord your God; and you shall be sanctified, and you shall be holy, because I the Lord your God am holy; and you shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles creeping upon the earth.
45 Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova ũrĩa wamũrutire kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri nduĩke Ngai wanyu; nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwĩtheriei, tondũ niĩ ndĩ mũtheru.
For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; and you shall be holy, for I the Lord am holy.
46 “‘Macio nĩmo mawatho marĩa makoniĩ nyamũ, na nyoni, na kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩ muoyo kĩrĩa gĩthiiagĩra maaĩ-inĩ, na kĩũmbe o ro gĩothe kĩrĩa gĩtambaga thĩ.
This is the law concerning beasts and birds and every living creature moving in the water, and every living creature creeping on the earth;
47 No nginya mũkũũranage nyamũ iria irĩ thaahu na iria itarĩ thaahu, na mũkũũranage ciũmbe iria irĩ muoyo ingĩrĩĩo na iria itangĩrĩĩo.’”
to distinguish between the unclean and the clean; and between those that bring forth alive, such as should be eaten, and those that bring forth alive, such as should not be eaten.
