Levitikọs 11

1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn, sị,

And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

2 “Gwanụ ụmụ Izrel, sị, ‘Nʼime anụmanụ niile dị nʼụwa, ndị a bụ anụmanụ unu ga-eri.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat of all the beasts which are on the earth.

3 Unu nwere ike iri anụmanụ ọbụla ụkwụ ya wara njakpa. nke na-atagharị ọnụ.

Whatever hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts — that shall ye eat.

4 “‘Ma ọ dị ụfọdụ ndị na-atagharị nri maọbụ ndị nwere naanị ụkwụ wara njakpa, unu agaghị eri anụ ha. Ha bụ ịnyịnya kamel, ọ bụ ezie na ọ na-atagharị nri, ma ụkwụ ya awaghị njakpa. Unu agaghị eri ha nʼihi na ọ bụ anụ na-adịghị ọcha.

Only these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs: the camel, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;

5 Ewi: Ọ na-atagharị nri ya, ma o nweghị ụkwụ wara njakpa. Ọ bụ anụ na-adịghị ọcha nye unu.

and the rock-badger, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;

6 Ewi nkume: Ọ na-atagharị nri ya, ma o nweghị ụkwụ wara njakpa. Ọ bụ anụ na-adịghị ọcha nye unu.

and the hare, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;

7 Ezi: Ọ bụ nʼezie na ụkwụ ya wara njakpa ma ọ dịghị atagharị nri ya. Ọ bụ anụ na-adịghị ọcha nye unu.

and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud — it shall be unclean unto you.

8 Unu emetụkwala ozu ha aka maọbụ rie anụ ha, nʼihi na ha bụ ihe na-adịghị ọcha nye unu.

Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch: they shall be unclean unto you.

9 “‘Nʼime ihe niile e kere eke dị ndụ biri na mmiri, maọbụ nʼiyi nta na nʼoke osimiri, unu nwere ike iri ụdị ọbụla nwere ntu na akpịrịkpa nʼahụ ha.

These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in waters, in seas and in rivers, these shall ye eat;

10 Ma unu ekwesighị iri ihe ọbụla nke na-enweghị ntu maọbụ akpịrịkpa, ma ha bụ anụ na-enupụta enupụta, maọbụ na ha so nʼanụ ndị ọzọ dị ndụ bi na mmiri, unu kwesiri ịsọ ha asọ.

but all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living soul which is in the waters — they shall be an abomination unto you.

11 Ebe ha bụ ihe na-asọ oyi nye unu, unu ekwesighị iri ha, unu ga-agụkwa ozu ha ka ihe na-adịghị ọcha.

They shall be even an abomination unto you: of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase ye shall have in abomination.

12 Ihe ọbụla bi nʼime mmiri nke na-enweghị ntu na akpịrịkpa nʼahụ ha, bụ nke unu ga-asọ asọ.

Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that shall be an abomination unto you.

13 “‘Ndị a bụ nnụnụ ndị unu ga-asọ asọ, nke unu na-ekwesighị iri nʼihi na ha bụ ihe arụ a na-asọ oyi: ugo, udele na udele ojii,

And these shall ye have in abomination of the fowls; they shall not be eaten; an abomination shall they be: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,

14 ndagbụ na ọgankwọ dị iche iche,

and the falcon, and the kite, after its kind;

15 ugolọma ọbụla dị iche iche,

every raven after its kind;

16 enyi nnụnụ, egbe abalị, nnụnụ oke osimiri na egbe dị iche iche,

and the female ostrich and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk, after its kind;

17 okwukwu nta, komorant na okwukwu ukwu,

18 okwukwu nwere mpi, okwolo na udele,

and the swan, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture,

19 ụgbala, utù dị iche iche, nnụnụ ọdụ nta na ụsụ.

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

20 “‘Ụmụ ahụhụ niile na-efe efe nke na-aga ije nʼụkwụ anọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nye unu, unu agaghị eri ya.

Every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four shall be an abomination unto you.

21 Ma e nwere ụfọdụ ụmụ ahụhụ na-efe efe nke na-aga ije nʼụkwụ anọ ndị unu nwere ike iri: ndị a bụ ndị nwere ogwe ụkwụ nke ha ji na-awụ awụ nʼala,

Yet these shall ye eat of every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four: those which have legs above their feet with which to leap upon the earth.

22 ndị a ka unu ga-eri nʼetiti ha, igurube dị iche iche, na akpankwụ dị iche iche, na abụzụ dị iche iche, na ụkpana dị iche iche.

These shall ye eat of them: the arbeh after its kind, and the solam after its kind, and the hargol after its kind, and the hargab after its kind.

23 Ahụhụ ndị ọzọ niile na-efe efe, ndị nwere ụkwụ anọ, bụ ihe rụrụ arụ. Unu ekwesighị iri ha.

But every winged crawling thing that hath four feet shall be an abomination unto you.

24 “‘Iri ha ga-eme ka unu rụọ arụọ. Onye ọbụla metụrụ ozu ha aka ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ site nʼoge o bitụrụ ha aka tutu ruo nʼabalị nke ụbọchị ahụ.

And by these ye shall make yourselves unclean; whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

25 Onye ọbụla metụrụ otu nʼime ozu ha aka ga-asakwa uwe ya, gụọkwa onwe ya dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo uhuruchi.

And whoever carrieth [ought] of their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.

26 “‘Anụmanụ ọbụla ụkwụ ya na-awasaghị abụọ, maọbụ nke na-adịghị atagharị nri ya ugboro abụọ, rụrụ arụ. Onye ọbụla metụrụ ozu ya aka ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ.

Every beast that hath cloven hoofs, but not feet quite split open, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

27 Nʼime anụmanụ niile na-aga ije nʼụkwụ anọ, anụmanụ ọbụla na-aga ije nʼọbụaka ya rụrụ arụ, unu agaghị eri ya. Onye ọbụla metụrụ ozu ya aka ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ ruo uhuruchi.

And whatever goeth on its paws, among all manner of beasts that go upon all four, those are unclean unto you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

28 Onye ọbụla ga-ebu ozu ya ga-asa uwe ya, bụrụkwa onye rụrụ arụ ruo uhuruchi, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nʼebe unu nọ.

And he that carrieth their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: they shall be unclean unto you.

29 “‘Nʼime anụmanụ niile na-enupụta enupụta nʼala, anụmanụ ndị a bụ ndị rụrụ arụ: nkapi, na oke, na agụ iyi dịka ụdị ha si dị,

And these shall be unclean unto you among the crawling things which crawl on the earth: the mole, and the field-mouse, and the lizard, after its kind;

30 na ọba mmiri, na ngwere aghụ, na ngwere, na ngwere uzuzu, na ogumagala.

and the groaning lizard, and the great red lizard, and the climbing lizard, and the chomet, and the chameleon.

31 Nʼime ihe niile na-enupụta enupụta nʼala ndị a rụrụ arụ nʼebe unu nọ. Onye metụrụ ozu ha aka ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ tutu ruo uhuruchi ụbọchị ahụ.

These shall be unclean unto you among all that crawl: whoever toucheth them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.

32 Ihe ọbụla nke ozu ha dakwasịrị ga-abụ ihe rụrụ arụ, maọbụ osisi, maọbụ akwa, maọbụ akpụkpọ a na-akwa nʼala, maọbụ akpa, ihe ọbụla nke eji ya eme. A ga-etinye ya na mmiri, ọ ga-adịgide nʼime mmiri tutu ruo uhuruchi, mgbe ahụ ka ọ ga-adị ọcha.

And on whatever any of them when they are dead doth fall, it shall be unclean; all vessels of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith work is done — it shall be put into water, and be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.

33 Ọ bụrụ na otu nʼime ihe ndị a adanye nʼite aja, a ga-etiwa ite ahụ. Ihe niile dị nʼite ahụ abụrụla ihe rụrụ arụ.

And every earthen vessel into which [any] of them falleth — whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.

34 Ihe oriri ọbụla nke mmiri si nʼite a metụrụ abụrụla ihe rụrụ arụ. Mmiri ọṅụṅụ ọbụla dị nʼime ite ahụ rụkwara arụ.

All food that is eaten on which [such] water hath come shall be unclean; and all drink that is drunk shall be unclean, in every [such] vessel.

35 Ihe ọbụla ozu anụmanụ dị otu a dakwasịrị, maọbụ ite ọkụ eji eghe ihe, maọbụ ekwu a ga-etiwa ha. Nʼihi na ha bụ ihe rụrụ arụ, unu ga-agụ ha dịka ihe rụrụ arụ.

And everything where upon [any part] of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; oven and hearth shall be broken down: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.

36 Ọ bụrụkwa na ozu anụmanụ ahụ adaba nʼisi iyi, maọbụ nʼolulu mmiri, mmiri ahụ ga-adị ọcha, kama onye ga-emetụ anụ ahụ aka ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ.

Nevertheless, a spring or a well, a quantity of water, shall be clean. But he that toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

37 Ọ bụrụ na ozu anụ ahụ adakwasị mkpụrụ ubi a na-aga ịkụ nʼubi, ọ gaghị emerụ ha.

And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing-seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean;

38 Ma ọ bụrụ na e tinyere mmiri nʼelu mkpụrụ ọghịgha ndị ahụ, ozu adakwasị nʼelu ya, ha ga-abụ ihe rụrụ arụ.

but if water have been put on the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.

39 “‘Ọ bụrụ na anụmanụ unu kwesiri iri eri anwụọ, onye ahụ metụrụ ya aka ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ ruo uhuruchi.

And if any beast which is to you for food die, he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.

40 Onye ọbụla riri ozu anụ ahụ, maọbụ bufuo ozu ya, ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ ruo uhuruchi. Ọ ga-asa uwe ya mmiri.

And he that eateth of its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: he also that carrieth its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.

41 “‘Anụmanụ ọbụla na-akpụgharị nʼala bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nye unu. Unu erikwala ha.

And every crawling thing which crawleth on the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

42 Unu agaghị eri anụmanụ ọbụla na-akpụgharị nʼala, ma ha na-akpụgharị nʼafọ ha, ma ha na-agagharị nʼụkwụ anọ, ma ha nwere ụkwụ dị ọtụtụ. Ha bụ ihe rụrụ arụ.

Whatever goeth on the belly, and whatever goeth on all four, and all that have a great many feet, of every manner of crawling thing which crawleth on the earth — these ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

43 Unu emerụla onwe unu site nʼiri anụmanụ ndị a na-akpụgharị nʼala. Unu abụla ndị na-emerụ onwe unu site nʼanụmanụ ndị a, maọbụ mee ka unu bụrụ ndị e merụrụ site na ha.

Ye shall not make yourselves abominable through any crawling thing which crawleth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

44 Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu. Doonụ onwe unu nsọ, nʼihi na adị m nsọ. Unu emerụla onwe unu site nʼimetụ anụmanụ ndị a na-akpụgharị nʼala aka.

For I am Jehovah your God; and ye shall hallow yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean through any manner of crawling thing which creepeth on the earth.

45 Abụ m Onyenwe anyị, onye si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta unu, ka m bụrụ Chineke unu. Unu aghaghị ịdị nsọ, nʼihi na adị m nsọ.

For I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

46 “‘Ndị a bụ usoro iwu metụtara ụmụ anụmanụ, na anụ ufe, na anụ bi na mmiri, na anụ ndị na-arịgharị arịgharị nʼala.

This is the law of cattle, and of fowl, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, and of every soul that crawleth on the earth;

47 Ka unu si otu a kpaa oke nʼetiti ndị rụrụ arụ na ndị dị ọcha, nʼetiti ihe e kere eke dị ndụ ndị unu nwere ike iri nʼihi na ha dị ọcha, na ndị unu na-ekwesighị iri nʼihi na ha rụrụ arụ.’”

to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that is to be eaten and the beast that is not to be eaten.
