1 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,
Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
2 “Mutegeeze abaana ba Isirayiri nti bino bye biramu bye munaayinzanga okulya mu bisolo byonna eby’oku nsi.
“Tell the Israeli people that [this is what Yahweh says]: From all the animals that live on the land, these are the ones that you are permitted to eat:
3 Munaayinzanga okulya ensolo yonna erina ekigere ekyaseemu nga kyeyawulidde ddala, era ng’ezza obwenkulumu.
The ones that have hooves that are completely split and that (chew their cuds/bring their food up from their stomachs to chew it again).
4 Kyokka ezo ezizza obwenkulumu bwokka, oba ezirina ebigere ebyaseemu byokka, temuziryanga. Ggamba eŋŋamira, newaakubadde ng’ezza obwenkulumu naye ebigere byayo si byaseemu; noolwekyo si nnongoofu.
There are some animals that chew their cuds but do not have split hooves, and some animals that have split hooves but do not chew their cuds. You must not eat any of those animals. [For example], camels chew their cuds but do not have split hooves, so they are unacceptable for you to eat.
5 N’omusu nagwo guzza obwenkulumu, naye ebigere byagwo si byaseemu; noolwekyo si mulongoofu.
Rock badgers chew their cuds but do not have split hooves, so they are unacceptable for you to eat.
6 Ate n’akamyu ak’omu nsiko, newaakubadde nako kazza obwenkulumu naye ebigere byako si byaseemu, noolwekyo si kalongoofu, era temukalyanga.
Rabbits chew their cuds but do not have split hooves, so they are unacceptable for you to eat.
7 Ate mulabe embizzi, newaakubadde ng’ekigere kyayo kyaseemu, ate nga kyeyawulidde ddala, naye tezza bwenkulumu; noolwekyo si nnongoofu gye muli.
Pigs have completely split hooves but they do not chew their cuds, so they are unacceptable for you to eat.
8 Ebisolo ng’ebyo temulyanga nnyama yaabyo, wadde okukwatako ku mirambo gyabyo; kubanga si birongoofu gye muli.
All of those animals are unacceptable for you, so you must not eat their meat or even touch their carcasses.
9 “Ku biramu ebiri mu mazzi ag’omu nnyanja n’ag’omu migga mulyangako ebyo ebirina amatu awamu n’amagagamba ku mubiri gwabyo.
From all the creatures that live in the oceans and the streams, you are permitted to eat any that have fins and scales.
10 Ebiramu byonna ebyekuluumulira mu nnyanja ne mu migga naye nga tebiriiko matu oba magagamba binaabanga bya muzizo gye muli.
But you must detest [and not eat] those that do not have fins and scales. That includes ones that are very small.
11 Nga bwe binaabanga eby’omuzizo gye muli, temuulyenga ku nnyama yaabyo, era n’emirambo gyabyo ginaabanga gya muzizo.
You must despise them, and you must not eat their meat, and you must detest their carcasses.
12 Buli kiramu kyonna ekibeera mu mazzi naye nga tekiriiko matu wadde amagagamba kinaabanga kya muzizo gye muli.

But you are permitted to eat creatures with wings that sometimes walk on the ground if they have jointed legs for hopping around.

But you must detest [and not eat] other insects with wings that have four legs.
24 “Bino nabyo binaabafuulanga abatali balongoofu; buli anaakwatanga ku mulambo gw’ensolo nga zino anaafuukanga atali mulongoofu okutuusa akawungeezi.
‘There are certain creatures that if you touch their carcasses you will become defiled. Anyone who touches their carcasses must not touch other people until that evening.
25 Era buli anaasitulanga ekitundu kyonna eky’omulambo gwazo anaateekwanga okwoza engoye ze, kyokka era anaabanga afuuse atali mulongoofu okutuusa akawungeezi.
Anyone who picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes and not touch other people until that evening.
26 “Buli nsolo yonna erina ekigere ekyaseemu naye nga tekyeyawulidde ddala, oba nga tezza bwenkulumu, eneebanga ya muzizo gye muli. Buli anaakwatanga ku mulambo gwazo anaabanga afuuse atali mulongoofu.
‘The animals whose carcasses you must not touch are those that have hooves that are not completely divided or animals that do not chew their cuds. Anyone who touches the carcasses of any of those animals becomes (defiled/unacceptable to me).
27 Mu nsolo zonna ezitambulira ku magulu ana, ezo ezitambulira ku bibatu byazo teziibenga nnongoofu gye muli, buli muntu anaakwatanga ku mulambo gwazo anaabanga afuuse atali mulongoofu okutuusa akawungeezi.
From all the animals that walk on the ground, you must not touch the carcasses of those that have paws to walk on. Anyone who touches one of their carcasses must not touch other people until that evening.
28 Era n’oyo anaasitulanga omulambo gwazo anaayozanga engoye ze; naye era anaabanga afuuse atali mulongoofu okutuusa akawungeezi. Teziibenga nnongoofu gye muli.
Anyone who picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes and not touch other people until that evening, because touching their carcasses (defiles you/causes you to become unacceptable to me).
29 “Mu nsolo ezigenda zisoobera ku ttaka; zino teziibenga nnongoofu gye muli: eggunju, emmese, amakonkome amanene aga buli ngeri;
‘From all the animals that walk on the ground, these are the ones that (defile you/cause you to become unacceptable to me) [if you touch them]: Moles, rats, any kind of lizard,
30 anaka, enswaswa, omunya, ekkonkome, ne nnawolovu.
geckos, skinks, and chameleons.

Those creatures that scurry across the ground (defile you/cause you to become unacceptable to me); anyone who touches one of their carcasses must not touch other people until the evening.
32 Era emu ku zo bw’eneefanga n’egwa ku kintu eky’engeri yonna ekikozesebwa, ekintu ekyo kinaafuukanga ekitali kirongoofu, obanga ekintu ekyo kyakolebwa mu muti, oba mu lugoye, oba mu ddiba oba mu kkutiya. Kiteekebwenga mu mazzi. Tekiibenga kirongoofu okutuusa akawungeezi; kyokka oluvannyuma kinaalongookanga.
When one of those creatures dies and falls on something, the thing that it falls on, whatever it is used for, will become (defiled/unacceptable to me), whether it is made of wood or cloth or the hide of some animal or from rough cloth. You must put it in water. Then you must not use it until that evening.
33 Era emu ku zo bw’eneegwanga mu nsaka ey’ebbumba, byonna ebiri mu nsaka omwo binaafuukanga ebitali birongoofu, era ensaka eyo muteekwa buteekwa okugyasanga.
If one of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it becomes defiled, and you must break that pot into pieces.
34 Emmere eneebanga egenda okuliibwa naye n’ebaako amazzi agavudde mu nsaka omwo, teebenga nnongoofu, n’amazzi agandinywereddwa okuva mu nsaka omwo tegaabenga malongoofu.
If you pour water from that pot on any food, you must not eat that food. And you must not drink any water from that pot.
35 Era buli kintu kyonna omulambo gw’ensolo zino kwe gunaabanga gugudde ku masiga okufumbirwa oba mu ntamu, binaayasibwayasibwanga, kubanga si birongoofu; era tebiibenga birongoofu gye muli.
Anything that one of the carcasses of those creatures falls on becomes (defiled/unacceptable to me); even if it falls on an oven or a cooking pot, anything that it falls on must be broken into pieces. It becomes unacceptable to me and you must not use it again.
36 Naye bwe gunaagwanga mu luzzi oba mu ppipa y’amazzi, ebyo byo binaasigalanga birongoofu; naye oyo yenna anaakwatanga ku mulambo ogwo taabenga mulongoofu.
If one of their carcasses falls into a spring or a pit for storing water, the water may still be drunk, but anyone who touches one of those carcasses becomes unacceptable to me.
37 Singa omulambo gugwa ku nsigo ez’engeri yonna ezigenda okusimbibwa, zinaasigalanga nnongoofu.
If one of those carcasses falls on seeds that are to be planted, those seeds are still acceptable to be planted.
38 Naye singa ensigo ziyiyibbwako amazzi, omulambo ne guzigwako, teziibenga nnongoofu gye muli.
But if water has been put on the seeds and then a carcass falls on them, the seeds must be thrown away.
39 “Singa ensolo yonna ku ezo ze mukkirizibwa okulya efa, oyo yenna anaakwatanga ku mulambo gwayo anaabanga atali mulongoofu okutuusa akawungeezi.
‘If an animal [whose meat] you are permitted to eat dies, anyone who touches its carcass must not touch other people until that evening.
40 Oyo anaalyanga ku nnyama y’omulambo kinaamusaaniranga okwoza engoye ze, era taabenga mulongoofu okutuusa akawungeezi. Oyo yenna anaasitulanga omulambo, kinaamusaaniranga okwoza engoye ze, naye taabenga mulongoofu okutuusa akawungeezi.
Anyone who eats some meat from that carcass must wash his clothes, and then he must not touch anyone until that evening.
41 “Buli kitonde kyonna ekitambulira ku ttaka kinaabanga kya muzizo, temuukiryenga.
‘All creatures that scurry across the ground, including those that move on their bellies and those that crawl, are detestable, and they must not be eaten.
42 Temuulyenga kitonde kyonna ekyekululira ku ttaka, obanga kyewalulira ku lubuto lwakyo, oba nga kitambuza amagulu, oba nga kikozesa ebigere bingi; kinaabanga kya muzizo.
43 Temuganyanga kwonoonebwa bitonde ebyo n’ekimu. Temubikozesanga temulwa kweyonoona, era temubikkirizanga kubafuula abatali balongoofu.
Do not (defile yourselves/cause you to become unacceptable to me) by [eating] any of those creatures [DOU].
44 Kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe, kale mwetukuzanga ne mubeera batukuvu, kubanga Nze ndi mutukuvu. Temwesemberezanga ebitonde ebyo ebitambulira ku ttaka ne bibafuula abatali balongoofu.
I am Yahweh your God, and I am holy, so you must consecrate yourselves and be holy. You must avoid eating things that cause you to be unacceptable to me. Do not cause yourselves to become unacceptable to me by eating creatures that scurry across the ground.
45 Kubanga Nze Mukama eyabaggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri, okubeera Katonda wammwe; noolwekyo kibasaanira okubeeranga abatukuvu, kubanga Nze ndi mutukuvu.
I am Yahweh, the one who freed you from [being slaves in] Egypt, in order to be your God. Therefore, because I am holy, you must be holy.
46 “Ago ge mateeka agakwata ku nsolo, ne ku nnyonyi, ne ku buli kiramu kyonna eky’omu mazzi, ne ku buli kitonde kyonna ekyewalulira ku ttaka.
'Those are the regulations concerning animals and birds, all the living creatures that live in water or scurry across the ground.
47 Kibasaaniranga mwawulemu, mu bitonde ebiramu ebirongoofu ebisaana okuliibwanga, ne mu bitonde ebiramu ebitali birongoofu ebitasaana kuliibwanga.”
You must learn what things [I say] are acceptable to me and what things are not, and learn what things you are permitted to eat and what things you are not permitted to eat.’”
