Levitikosy 11

1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao taminy hoe:

The Lord told Moses and Aaron,

2 Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Izao no ho fihinanareo amin’ ny biby rehetra ambonin’ ny tany:

“Give these instructions to the Israelites. These are the animals you are allowed to eat:

3 Izay biby rehetra mivaky kitro, ka misaraka tsara ny kitrony, sady mandinika izy, no ho fihinanareo.

any animal that both has a divided hoof and also chews the cud.

4 Kanefa amin’ izay mandinika sy mivaky kitro dia izao kosa no tsy ho fihinanareo: Ny rameva, satria mandinika ihany izy, nefa tsy mba mivaky kitro: maloto aminareo izy;

However, if it either chews the cud, or has a divided hoof, then you may not eat it. These include: the camel, which though it chews the cud doesn't have a divided hoof, so it is unclean for you.

5 ary ny hyraka, satria mandinika ihany izy, nefa tsy mba mivaky kitro: maloto aminareo izy;

The rock hyrax, which though it chews the cud doesn't have a divided hoof, so it is unclean for you.

6 ary ny rabitro, satria mandinika ihany izy, nefa tsy mba mivaky kitro; maloto aminareo izy;

The hare, which though it chews the cud doesn't have a divided hoof, so it is unclean for you.

7 ary ny kisoa, satria mivaky kitro ihany izy ka misaraka tsara ny kitrony, nefa tsy mba mandinika izy: maloto aminareo izy.

The pig, which though it has a divided hoof doesn't chew the cud, so it is unclean for you.

8 Ny henan’ ireny tsy ho fihinanareo, ary ny fatiny tsy hokasihinareo akory; zava-maloto aminareo ireny.

You are not to eat their meat or touch their bead bodies. They are unclean for you.

9 Ary amin’ izay rehetra ao anatin’ ny rano dia izao no ho fihinanareo: Izay rehetra misy vombony sy kirany ao anaty rano, na ao anatin’ ny ranomasina, na ao anatin’ ny ony, no ho fihinanareo;

You are allowed to eat any creature with fins and scales that lives in the water, whether in the sea or in fresh water.

10 fa izay rehetra tsy misy vombony sy kirany kosa, na ao anatin’ ny ranomasina, na ao anatin’ ny ony, na amin’ izay rehetra mihetsiketsika ao anaty rano sy amin’ ny zava-manan’ aina izay ao anaty rano; fahavetavetana aminareo ireny;

But you are not allowed to eat any of the many creatures that don't have fins and scales that live in the water, whether in the sea or in fresh water.

11 eny, ho fahavetavetana aminareo ireny; tsy ho fihinanareo ny nofony, ary hataonareo ho zava-betaveta ny fatiny.

They are repulsive. You must not eat their meat, and you must treat their dead bodies as repulsive.

12 Izay rehetra tsy misy vombony na kirany ao anaty rano dia ho zava-betaveta aminareo.

All such water creatures that don't have fins and scales are to be repulsive to you.

13 Ary izao no ho zava-betaveta aminareo amin’ ny vorona ka tsy ho fihinanareo, fa zava-betaveta izy: ny voltora sy ny gypa sy ny ankoay

As for the birds, these must not be eaten because they are repulsive: eagle, griffon vulture, bearded vulture,

14 ary ny papango sy ny voromahery, isan-karazany,

buzzard, kite and similar birds of prey,

15 ary ny goaika rehetra, isan-karazany,

any raven or crow,

16 ary ny ostritsa sy ny tararaka sy ny vorondriaka sy ny hitsikitsika, isan-karazany,

tawny owl, long-eared owl, gulls, any kind of hawk,

17 ary ny vorondolo sy ny manarana sy ny vorondolo lehibe

little owl, fish owl, eagle owl,

18 ary ny ibisa sy ny sama ary ny voltora madinika

barn owl, desert owl, Egyptian vulture,

19 sy ny vano sy ny vanobe, isan-karazany, ary ny takidara sy ny manavy.

storks and any kind of heron, hoopoe, and bats.

20 Ny zava-mandady rehetra izay manana elatra sady mandia tongotra efatra dia ho zava-betaveta aminareo;

All flying insects that crawl are repulsive to you.

21 nefa izao kosa no ho fihinanareo amin’ ny zava-mandady izay manana elatra sady mandia tongotra efatra, dia izay manam-pingotra ambonin’ ny faladiany hitsipihany eo amin’ ny tany.

But you can eat the following kinds of flying insects that crawl: those that have jointed legs they use to jump.

22 Amin’ ireny dia izao no ho fihinanareo; ny valala, isan-karazany, ny solama, isan-karazany, ary ny hargola, isan-karazany, ary ny hagaba, isan-karazany.

So in this category you can eat any kind of locust, bald locust, cricket, or grasshopper.

23 Fa ny zava-mandady rehetra izay manana elatra sady mandia tongotra efatra afa-tsy ireo dia ho zava-betaveta aminareo.

All other flying insects that crawl are repulsive to you,

24 Dia Ireo no ho zava-maloto aminareo; ary izay rehetra mikasika ny fatiny dia haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro.

and will make you unclean. If you touch their dead bodies you will be unclean until the evening,

25 Ary izay rehetra mitondra ny fatiny dia hanasa ny fitafiany ary haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro.

and if you pick up one of their dead bodies you must wash your clothes, and you will be unclean until the evening.

26 Ny biby rehetra izay mivaky kitro, nefa tsy mba misara-kitro tsara sady tsy mandinika, dia ho zava-maloto aminareo; haloto izay rehetra mikasika azy.

Every animal with hooves that are not divided, or that does not chew the cud, is unclean for you. If you touch any of them you will be unclean.

27 Ary izay rehetra mandeha amin’ ny faladiany, amin’ ny biby rehetra izay mandia tongotra efatra, dia zava-maloto aminareo; haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro izay rehetra mikasika ny fatiny.

Any four-legged animal that walks on its paws are unclean for you. If you touch their dead bodies you will be unclean until the evening,

28 Ary izay mitondra ny fatiny dia hanasa ny fitafiany ka haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro; ho zava-maloto aminareo ireny.

and if you pick up one of their dead bodies you must wash your clothes, and you will be unclean until the evening. They are unclean for you.

29 Ary izao no haloto aminareo amin’ ny biby izay mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany: ny kionkiona sy ny totozy ary ny sitry, isan-karazany,

The following animals that run along the ground are unclean for you: rats, mice, any kind of large lizard,

30 ary ny anakà sy ny koaha sy ny letaha sy ny hometa ary ny tana.

gecko, monitor lizard, wall lizard, skinks, and chameleon.

31 Ireo no maloto aminareo amin’ ny biby rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka; izay rehetra mikasika ny fatin’ ireo dia haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro.

These animals that run along the ground are unclean for you. If you touch a dead one of them you will be unclean until the evening.

32 Ary izay zavatra rehetra ilatsahan’ ny fatin’ Ireo, na fanaka hazo, na fitafiana, na hoditra, na lasaka, izay mety ho fanaovan-javatra na inona na inona, dia haloto, ka tsy maintsy hatao anaty rano izany, ary haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro izy vao hadio.

Anything that one of them dies and lands on becomes unclean. Whatever it is—something made of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any work tool—it must be washed with water and will be unclean until the evening. Then it will become clean.

33 Ary ny amin’ ny vilany tany rehetra izay ilatsahan’ ny fatin’ ireo, dia haloto izay ao anatiny na inona na inona, ary ny vilany dia hovakinareo.

If one of them falls into a clay pot, all that's in it becomes unclean. You must smash the pot.

34 Ary ny hanina fihinana rehetra, izay asian-drano, sy ny fisotro rehetra izay sotroina dia haloto koa, na tamin’ ny fanaka inona na tamin’ ny fanaka inona.

If water from that pot touches any food, that food becomes unclean, and any drink from a pot like that also becomes unclean.

35 Ary haloto izay zavatra rehetra ilatsahan’ ny fatin’ ireo, na fanendasana, na vilany mirakotra, dia hovakivakina izany; fa maloto ireny, ary ho zava-maloto aminareo.

Anything that one of their dead bodies falls on becomes unclean. If it's an oven or a stove, it must be smashed. It is permanently unclean for you.

36 Kanefa ny loharano na ny lavaka famorian-drano izay misy rano be dia hadio ihany; fa izay mikasika ny fatin-javatra eo no haloto.

On the other hand, if it's a spring or cistern containing water then it will remain clean, but if you touch one of these dead bodies in it you will be unclean.

37 Ary raha misy fatin’ ireo latsaka amin’ ny voan-javatra famafy, izay efa hafafy, dia hadio ihany izany.

Similarly, if one of their dead bodies falls on any seed used for sowing, the seed remains clean;

38 Fa raha misy voan-javatra nalona tamin’ ny rano ka ilatsahan’ ny fatiny, dia ho zava-maloto aminareo izany.

but if the seed has been soaked in water and one of their dead bodies falls on it, it is unclean for you.

39 Ary raha misy maty izay biby fihinanareo, dia haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro izay mikasika ny fatiny.

If an animal that you are allowed to eat dies, anyone who touches the dead body will be unclean until the evening.

40 Ary izay mihinana amin’ ny fatiny dia hanasa ny fitafiany, ary haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro; ary izay mitondra ny fatiny dia hanasa ny fitafiany sady haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro

If you eat anything from the dead body you must wash your clothes and you will be unclean until the evening. If you pick up the dead body you must wash your clothes and you will be unclean until the evening.

41 Ary ny zavatra rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany dia ho zava-betaveta aminareo ka tsy ho fihinana.

Every animal that crawls along the ground is repulsive—you must not eat it.

42 Izay rehetra mandady amin’ ny kibony sy Izay rehetra mandia tongotra efatra ary izay rehetra maro tongotra, dia ny biby tehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany, dia tsy ho fihinanareo, fa zava-betaveta ireny.

Don't eat any animal that crawls along the ground, whether it moves on its belly or walks on four feet or many feet. All such animals are repulsive.

43 Aza mametaveta ny tenanareo amin’ izay biby mandady na mikisaka; ary aza mandoto ny tenanareo aminy, mba tsy hahaloto anareo izany.

Don't defile yourselves by any such crawling animal. Don't make yourselves unclean or defiled by them,

44 Fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, dia manamasìna ny tenanareo, ka dia ho masìna ianareo, satria masìna Aho; ary aza mandoto ny tenanareo amin’ izay zavatra mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany.

because I am the Lord your God; so dedicate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Don't defile yourselves by any animal that crawls along the ground.

45 Fa Izaho no Jehovah Izay nitondra anareo niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, mba ho Andriamanitrareo, ka dia ho masìna ianareo, satria masìna Aho.

I am the Lord who led you out of Egypt so that I could be your God. So be holy, because I am holy.

46 Izany no lalàna ny amin’ ny biby sy ny vorona sy ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra izay mihetsiketsika ao anaty rano ary ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany,

These are the regulations about animals, birds, everything that lives in the water, and all animals that crawl along the ground.

47 mba hanavahana ny maloto sy ny madio, ary ny biby izay ho fihinana sy ny biby izay tsy ho fihinana.

You must recognize the difference between unclean and clean, between those animals that can be eaten and those that can't.”
