Alawii 11
1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying unto them:
2 “Ĩrai andũ a Isiraeli ũũ, ‘Gatagatĩ-inĩ ka nyamũ ciothe iria irĩ bũrũri-inĩ-rĩ, ici nĩcio mũngĩrĩa:
Speak ye unto the sons of Israel saying, —These are the living things which ye may eat, of all the beasts which are upon the earth:
3 No mũrĩe nyamũ o yothe ĩrĩ mahũngũ marekanĩtie gatagatĩ biũ na ĩcookagia ithagumia.
Whatsoever parteth the hoof and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud among beasts, that, may ye 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, shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, and of them that part the hoof, —the camel, because though he, cheweth the cud, yet, the hoof, he parteth not, unclean, he is to you;
5 Gĩkami o na aakorwo nĩgĩcookagia ithagumia-rĩ, mahũngũ makĩo matirekanĩtie; kĩu kĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
And, the coney, because, though he cheweth the cud, yet, the hoof, he parteth not, —unclean, he is to you;
6 Mbũkũ o na aakorwo nĩĩcookagia ithagumia-rĩ, mahũngũ mayo matirekanĩtie; ĩyo ĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
And the hare, because though she cheweth the cud, yet the hoof, she parteth not, —unclean, she is to you;
7 Nayo ngũrwe o na akorwo mahũngũ mayo nĩmarekanĩtie biũ-rĩ, ndĩcookagia ithagumia; ĩyo ĩrĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
And, the swine, because though he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, yet, the cud, he cheweth not, —unclean, he is to you;
8 Mũtikanarĩe nyama ciacio kana mũhutie ciimba ciacio; icio irĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
Of their flesh, shall ye not eat, and, their carcase, shall ye not touch, —unclean, they are 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, may ye eat, of all that are in the waters, —all that have fins and scales in the waters, in the seas and in the rivers, them, may ye 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.
But, all that have not fins and scales, in the seas and in the rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of all the living souls that are in the waters, an abomination, they are unto you;
11 Na tondũ no nginya mũcithũũre-rĩ, mũtikanarĩe nyama ciacio, na no nginya mũthũũre ciimba ciacio biũ.
and an abomination, shall they remain to you, —of their flesh, ye shall not eat, and their carcases, shall ye abhor.
12 Kĩndũ o gĩothe gĩtũũraga maaĩ-inĩ na gĩtirĩ mathagu manyiitaine kana ngaracũ mwĩrĩ, nĩciagũthũũrwo nĩ inyuĩ biũ.
Whatsoever hath not fins and scales in the waters, an abomination, it is unto you.
13 “‘Ici nĩcio nyoni iria mwagĩrĩirwo nĩgũthũũra na mũtangĩrĩa tondũ nĩ thũũre; nacio nĩ nderi, na ndiyũ, na ndiyũ iria njirũ,
And, these, shall ye abhor of birds, they shall not be eaten, an abomination, they are, —the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey;
14 na hũngũ ĩrĩa ndune, na mũthemba o wothe wa hũngũ iria njirũ,
and the vulture, 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 female ostrich, and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, —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 pelican and the gannet, and the bittern;
18 na ndundu ĩrĩa njerũ, na ndundu ya werũ-inĩ, na hũngũ ya iria-inĩ,
and the swan and the vomiting pelican and the little vulture;
19 na karoga-ngunũ, na mĩthemba yothe ya cũcũ-wa-njoka, na hudihuda, o na rũhuhu.
and the stork, and the parrot, after its kind, —and the mountain-cock and the bat.
20 “‘Tũnyamũ tuothe tũrĩa tũmbũkaga na tũthiiagĩra thĩ na magũrũ mana nĩ mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũtũthũũra mũno.
Every creeping thing that flieth, that goeth on all-fours, an abomination, it is unto 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.
Nevertheless, these, may ye eat, of all creeping things that fly, that go on all-fours, —such as have legs above their feet, to leap therewith, upon the earth—
22 Thĩinĩ wa tuo no mũrĩe mĩthemba yothe ya ngigĩ, na ndararĩki, na ngiria, o na kana ndaahi.
these of them, may ye eat: the swarming-locust after its kind, and the devouring locust after its kind, —and the chargol-locust after its kind, and the chagab-locust after its kind.
23 No tũnyamũ tũu tũngĩ tuothe tũrĩ mathagu na tũrĩ na magũrũ mana no nginya mũtũthũũre mũno.
But every [other] creeping thing that flieth, which hath four feet, an abomination, it is unto you;
24 “‘Nĩmũgethaahia na maũndũ maya; ũrĩa wothe ũngĩhutia ciimba ciatuo agaatinda arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
and, for these, shall ye count yourselves unclean—whosoever toucheth the carcase 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.
and whosoever beareth away aught of the carcase of them, 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.
As for every kind of beast which, though it parteth the hoof, yet is not cloven-footed nor cheweth the cud, unclean, they are unto you, —every one who toucheth 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.
And, all that go upon their paws, among all the living things that go on all-fours, unclean, they are unto you, —whoso toucheth the carcase of them, shall be 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 that beareth away the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the evening, —unclean, they are unto 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, unto you, shall be unclean, among the creeping things that creep upon the earth, —the weasel and the mouse, and the lizard after its kind;
30 na gĩthenyũka, na kĩgurumũki, na njagathi, na gĩcagathi kĩrĩa kĩa mahiga-inĩ, na kĩĩmbu.
and the ferret and the chameleon and the wall-lizard, —and the winding lizard, 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 they which are unclean to you among all that creep, —whosoever toucheth them when they are dead shall be 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, everything whereon any of them shall fall when they are dead shall be unclean—of any articles of wood, or cloth, or skin, or sackcloth, any article wherewith any work is done, —shall be put in water and shall be unclean until the evening, and then 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, as for any earthen vessel whereinto any of them may fall, everything therein shall be unclean, and, the vessel itself, shall ye break in pieces.
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 that may be eaten, that whereon shall come water, shall be unclean, —and, all drink which might be 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, everything whereon shall fall any part of the carcase of them shall be unclean, oven or fire-range, it shall be destroyed, unclean, they are, —and, unclean, Shall they remain 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.
Notwithstanding, a fountain or cistern wherein is a gathering of waters shall be clean, —but, he that toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean.
37 Kĩimba kĩngĩkaagwĩra mbeũ o na irĩkũ cia kũhaandwo, itikanyiitwo nĩ thaahu.
And when any part of the carcase of them shall fall upon seed for sowing, which is to be sown, the same is, clean.
38 No mbeũ icio ingĩkorwo irindĩtwo maaĩ-inĩ, nakĩo kĩimba gĩcigũĩre, mbeũ icio irĩ na thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
But, when water shall be put upon seed, and there shall fall thereon any part of the carcase of them, unclean, it is 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 yours for food shall die, he that toucheth the carcase of it shall be 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 that eateth of the carcase of it, shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening, —he also that carrieth away the carcase thereof shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
41 “‘Kĩũmbe gĩothe kĩrĩa gĩtambaga thĩ nĩgĩthũũre; ti gĩa kũrĩĩo.
And, any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, an abomination, it is—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.
Everything that goeth upon the belly, and everything that goeth upon all-fours, even to everything having many feet, as regardeth any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, ye shall not eat them for, an abomination, they are.
43 Mũtikanethaahie na kĩũmbe o na kĩmwe gĩacio. Mũtikaneĩkĩre thaahu nĩ ũndũ wacio kana mũreke imũgwatie thaahu.
Do not make your persons abominable, with any creeping thing that creepeth, —neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should become unclean thereby.
44 Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu; mwĩamũrei na mwĩtherie, tondũ niĩ ndĩ mũtheru. Mũtikanethaahie na kĩũmbe o gĩothe kĩrĩa gĩtambaga thĩ.
For, I—Yahweh, am your God, therefore shall ye hallow yourselves and remain holy; for, holy, am, I,—therefore shall ye not make your persons unclean, with any creeping thing that crawleth 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—Yahweh, am he that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, that I might become your God, —therefore shall ye be holy, for, holy, am, I.
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 of beast and of bird, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, —and as to every soul that creepeth upon the earth:
47 No nginya mũkũũranage nyamũ iria irĩ thaahu na iria itarĩ thaahu, na mũkũũranage ciũmbe iria irĩ muoyo ingĩrĩĩo na iria itangĩrĩĩo.’”
That ye may make a difference—between the unclean and the clean, —and between the living thing that may be eaten, and the living thing which may not be eaten.
