Alawii 11
1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
The LORD spoke 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 children of Israel, saying, 'These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
3 No mũrĩe nyamũ o yothe ĩrĩ mahũngũ marekanĩtie gatagatĩ biũ na ĩcookagia ithagumia.
Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may 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.
"'Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.
5 Gĩkami o na aakorwo nĩgĩcookagia ithagumia-rĩ, mahũngũ makĩo matirekanĩtie; kĩu kĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
The coney, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.
6 Mbũkũ o na aakorwo nĩĩcookagia ithagumia-rĩ, mahũngũ mayo matirekanĩtie; ĩyo ĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
The hare, because she chews the cud but doesn't part the hoof, she is unclean to you.
7 Nayo ngũrwe o na akorwo mahũngũ mayo nĩmarekanĩtie biũ-rĩ, ndĩcookagia ithagumia; ĩyo ĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
The pig, because he has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn't chew the cud, he is unclean to you.
8 Mũtikanarĩe nyama ciacio kana mũhutie ciimba ciacio; icio irĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; 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.
"'These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may 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.
All that do not have fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are 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.
and you detest them. You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses.
12 Kĩndũ o gĩothe gĩtũũraga maaĩ-inĩ na gĩtirĩ mathagu manyiitaine kana ngaracũ mwĩrĩ, nĩciagũthũũrwo nĩ inyuĩ biũ.
Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that 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,
"'These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture,
14 na hũngũ ĩrĩa ndune, na mũthemba o wothe wa hũngũ iria njirũ,
and the red kite, any kind of black kite,

20 “‘Tũnyamũ tuothe tũrĩa tũmbũkaga na tũthiiagĩra thĩ na magũrũ mana nĩ mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũtũthũũra mũno.
"'All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.

Yet you may eat these: of all winged crawling creatures that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth.
22 Thĩinĩ wa tuo no mũrĩe mĩthemba yothe ya ngigĩ, na ndararĩki, na ngiria, o na kana ndaahi.

But all winged crawling creatures which have four feet, are an abomination to you.
24 “‘Nĩmũgethaahia na maũndũ maya; ũrĩa wothe ũngĩhutia ciimba ciatuo agaatinda arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
"'By these you will become unclean: whoever touches the carcass of them shall be 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.
Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be 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.
"'Every animal which parts the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be 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.
Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be 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,
"'These are they which are unclean to you among the creatures that crawl on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,

These are they which are unclean to you among all that crawl. Whoever touches them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.

On whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it will 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.
Every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.

But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.

He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
41 “‘Kĩũmbe gĩothe kĩrĩa gĩtambaga thĩ nĩgĩthũũre; ti gĩa kũrĩĩo.
"'Every swarming thing that swarms on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.

Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creatures that crawl on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
43 Mũtikanethaahie na kĩũmbe o na kĩmwe gĩacio. Mũtikaneĩkĩre thaahu nĩ ũndũ wacio kana mũreke imũgwatie thaahu.
You shall not make yourselves abominable with any crawling creature that crawls, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby.

For I am the LORD your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any kind of crawling creature that moves 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 the LORD who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

"'This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that crawls 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 a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.'"
