Levitikọs 11

1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn, sị,

And YHWH speaks 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 to the sons of Israel, saying, This [is] the beast which you eat out of all the beasts which [are] on the earth:

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

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

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

and the hyrax, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof is not divided—it [is] unclean to 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, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof has not divided—it [is] unclean to 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 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 Unu emetụkwala ozu ha aka maọbụ rie anụ ha, nʼihi na ha bụ ihe na-adịghị ọcha nye unu.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

14 ndagbụ na ọgankwọ dị iche iche,

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

17 okwukwu nta, komorant na okwukwu ukwu,

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

18 okwukwu nwere mpi, okwolo na udele,

and the waterhen, and the pelican, and the Egyptian 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 teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four [legs]—it [is] an abomination to 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,

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

and every teeming thing which is flying, which has four feet—it [is] an abomination to 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 you are made unclean by these; anyone who is coming against their carcass is unclean until the evening;

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

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

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.

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 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 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 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 who is lifting up their carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening—they [are] unclean to 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 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 ọba mmiri, na ngwere aghụ, na ngwere, na ngwere uzuzu, na ogumagala.

and the gecko [[or ferret]], and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole;

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

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 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 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 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.

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

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

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

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

and when water is put on the seed, and [any] of its carcass has fallen on it—it [is] unclean to you.

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

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

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

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 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.

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 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] 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 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] 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 “‘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] 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 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 separation between the unclean and the pure, and between the beast that is eaten, and the beast that is not eaten.”
