Alawii 11

1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,

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

2 “Ĩrai andũ a Isiraeli ũũ, ‘Gatagatĩ-inĩ ka nyamũ ciothe iria irĩ bũrũri-inĩ-rĩ, ici nĩcio mũngĩrĩa:

“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 No mũrĩe nyamũ o yothe ĩrĩ mahũngũ marekanĩtie gatagatĩ biũ na ĩcookagia ithagumia.

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

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.

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 Gĩkami o na aakorwo nĩgĩcookagia ithagumia-rĩ, mahũngũ makĩo matirekanĩtie; kĩu kĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.

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

6 Mbũkũ o na aakorwo nĩĩcookagia ithagumia-rĩ, mahũngũ mayo matirekanĩtie; ĩyo ĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.

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

7 Nayo ngũrwe o na akorwo mahũngũ mayo nĩmarekanĩtie biũ-rĩ, ndĩcookagia ithagumia; ĩyo ĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.

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 Mũtikanarĩe nyama ciacio kana mũhutie ciimba ciacio; icio irĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.

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

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 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 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 Na tondũ no nginya mũcithũũre-rĩ, mũtikanarĩe nyama ciacio, na no nginya mũthũũre ciimba ciacio biũ.

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

12 Kĩndũ o gĩothe gĩtũũraga maaĩ-inĩ na gĩtirĩ mathagu manyiitaine kana ngaracũ mwĩrĩ, nĩciagũthũũrwo nĩ inyuĩ biũ.

Anything that does not have fins and scales in the waters—it [is] 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 you detest of the bird—they are not eaten, they [are] an abomination: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,

14 na hũngũ ĩrĩa ndune, na mũthemba o wothe wa hũngũ iria njirũ,

and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,

15 na mahuru mothe,

every raven after its kind,

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,

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

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

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

18 na ndundu ĩrĩa njerũ, na ndundu ya werũ-inĩ, na hũngũ ya iria-inĩ,

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

19 na karoga-ngunũ, na mĩthemba yothe ya cũcũ-wa-njoka, na hudihuda, o na rũhuhu.

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

20 “‘Tũnyamũ tuothe tũrĩa tũmbũkaga na tũthiiagĩra thĩ na magũrũ mana nĩ mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũtũthũũra mũno.

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

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 Thĩinĩ wa tuo no mũrĩe mĩthemba yothe ya ngigĩ, na ndararĩki, na ngiria, o na kana ndaahi.

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 No tũnyamũ tũu tũngĩ tuothe tũrĩ mathagu na tũrĩ na magũrũ mana no nginya mũtũthũũre mũno.

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

24 “‘Nĩmũgethaahia na maũndũ maya; ũrĩa wothe ũngĩhutia ciimba ciatuo agaatinda arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.

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

25 Mũndũ o wothe ũkooya kĩimba gĩatuo no nginya athambie nguo ciake, na nĩagatinda arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.

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

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 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 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 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 who is lifting up their carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening—they [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 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 na gĩthenyũka, na kĩgurumũki, na njagathi, na gĩcagathi kĩrĩa kĩa mahiga-inĩ, na kĩĩmbu.

and the gecko [[or ferret]], and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, 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] the unclean to you among all which are teeming; anyone who is coming against them in their death is unclean until the 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 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 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 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 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.

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

37 Kĩimba kĩngĩkaagwĩra mbeũ o na irĩkũ cia kũhaandwo, itikanyiitwo nĩ thaahu.

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

38 No mbeũ icio ingĩkorwo irindĩtwo maaĩ-inĩ, nakĩo kĩimba gĩcigũĩre, mbeũ icio irĩ na thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.

and when water is put on the seed, and [any] of its carcass has fallen on 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 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 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 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 “‘Kĩũmbe gĩothe kĩrĩa gĩtambaga thĩ nĩgĩthũũre; ti gĩa kũrĩĩo.

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

42 Mũtikanarĩe kĩũmbe gĩothe kĩrĩa gĩtambaga thĩ, kana gĩthiiaga na nda, kana na magũrũ mothe mana, kana magũrũ maingĩ; icio mũcithũũre mũno.

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 Mũtikanethaahie na kĩũmbe o na kĩmwe gĩacio. Mũtikaneĩkĩre thaahu nĩ ũndũ wacio kana mũreke imũgwatie thaahu.

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 Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu; mwĩamũrei na mwĩtherie, tondũ niĩ ndĩ mũtheru. Mũtikanethaahie na kĩũmbe o gĩothe kĩrĩa gĩtambaga thĩ.

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 Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova ũrĩa wamũrutire kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri nduĩke Ngai wanyu; nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwĩtheriei, tondũ niĩ ndĩ mũtheru.

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 “‘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] 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 No nginya mũkũũranage nyamũ iria irĩ thaahu na iria itarĩ thaahu, na mũkũũranage ciũmbe iria irĩ muoyo ingĩrĩĩo na iria itangĩrĩĩo.’”

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