Leviticus 11
1 LEUM GOD El sang nu sel Moses ac Aaron oakwuk ten inge,
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
2 su ma nu sin mwet Israel. Kowos ku in kang kutena kain kosro finmes
Say to the children of Israel: These are the living things which you may have for food among all the beasts on the earth.
3 ma sengelik falka, su oayapa sifil kontini ma el kangla.
You may have as food any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot, and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again.
4 Tusruktu kowos fah tia kang kosro inge: camel, mweyen el finne sifil kontini ma el kangla, tuh tia sengelik falkal, na pa el tia nasnas nu suwos;
But, at the same time, of those beasts, you may not take for food the camel, because its food comes back but the horn of its foot is not parted in two; it is unclean to you.
5 oayapa koni, el finne sifil kontini ma el kangla, tuh tia sengelik falkal, na pa el tia nasnas nu suwos;
And the rock-badger, for the same reason, is unclean to you.
6 rabbit, el finne sifil kontini ma el kangla, tuh tia sengelik falkal, na pa el tia nasnas nu suwos.
And the hare, because the horn of its foot is not parted in two, is unclean to you.
7 Nimet kang pig. Finne sengelik falkal, tuh el tia sifil kontini ma el kangla, na pa el tia nasnas nu suwos.
And the pig is unclean to you, because though the horn of its foot is parted, its food does not come back.
8 Nimet kang kain in kosro inge ku pusral mano misa lalos. Elos tia nasnas.
Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; they are unclean to you.
9 Kowos ku in kang kutena ik ma oasr enga ac unac,
These you may have for food of all things living in the water: anything living in the water, in the seas or rivers, which has special parts for swimming and skin formed of thin plates, may be used for food.
10 tusruktu kutena ma moul ma muta in kof su wangin enga ac unac, fah tiana mongo.
All other things living and moving in the water, in the sea or in the rivers, are a disgusting thing to you;

Every winged four-footed thing which goes on the earth is disgusting to you;
21 sayen ma su ku in sro ke nia.
But of the winged four-footed things, those which have long legs for jumping on the earth you may have for food;
22 Kowos ku in kang srisr in eku, kwot srisrik, ac kain locust nukewa.

The dead body of any of these, falling on anything, will make that thing unclean; if it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or bag, whatever it is, if it is used for any purpose, it will have to be put into water, and will be unclean till evening; after that it will be clean.
33 Ac manolos fin putatyang nu in sie tup orekla ke kle, na ma nukewa ma oan in tup sac fah tia nasnas, ac kowos fah fukulya tup sac.
And if one of them gets into any vessel of earth, whatever is in the vessel will be unclean and the vessel will have to be broken.

Any part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they are unclean and will be unclean to you.

Whatever goes on its stomach or on four feet or has a great number of feet, even all those going flat on the earth, may not be used for food, for they are disgusting.
43 Nimet sifacna akfohkfokye kowos in kang kutena sin ma inge.
You are not to make yourselves disgusting with anything which goes about flat on the earth; you may not make yourselves unclean with them, in such a way that you are not holy to me.

For I am the Lord your God: for this reason, make and keep yourselves holy, for I am holy; you are not to make yourselves unclean with any sort of thing which goes about flat on the earth.

This is the law about beasts and birds and every living thing moving in the waters, and every living thing which goes flat on the earth:

Marking out the unclean from the clean, and the living thing which may be used for food from that which may not.
