And the Lord spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto 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 beasts which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

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

Whatsoever divideth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.

But these shall ye not eat, of those that chew the cud, or of those that divide the hoof: the camel; because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

And the cony; because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

And the hare; because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

And the swine; because he divideth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but he cheweth not the cud; he is 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 carcass shall ye not touch; they are 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 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.

But all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of whatever moveth in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, shall be an abomination unto you:

And an abomination shall they remain unto you; of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination.

Whatsoever hath not fins and scales in the waters, shall be an abomination unto you.

Yet these may ye eat, among all the flying insects that walk on four feet, which have spring-legs above their feet, to leap therewith 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 of them may ye eat: The locust after its kind, and the sol'am after its kind, and the chargol after its kind, and the chagab after its kind.

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

But all flying insects, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you;

And through these shall ye be rendered unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening;

And whosoever beareth aught of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

Every species of beast, which divideth the hoof and is not cloven-footed nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheth the same 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 all that walk upon their paws, among all manner of beasts that walk on four feet, are unclean unto you; whosoever toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

And he that beareth their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: unclean shall they be unto you.

And these shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: The weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind,

These shall be unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.

And every thing upon which any part of them, when they are dead, doth fall, shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith any work can be done, must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, when it shall be clean.

And every earthen vessel whereinto any part of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and itself shall ye break.

And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass falleth, shall be unclean; an oven, or ranges for pots, shall be broken down, they are unclean; and unclean shall they be unto you.

And if any part of their carcass fall upon any sowing-seed which hath been sown, it shall be clean.

And if any cattle die, which is allowed to you as food: he that toucheth its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

And he that eateth of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; he also that beareth its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth is 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.

Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon four feet, down to whatsoever hath many feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, shall ye 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 with any creeping thing that creepeth; and ye shall not 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 the Lord your God; ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon 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 the Lord that have 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 the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon 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 distinguish between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
