Levitikosy 11
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè naho amy Aharone:
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
2 Saontsio amo ana’ Israeleo ty hoe: Iretoañe o raha veloñe ho fikama’ areo amy ze hene bibi’ ty tane toy.
“Give these instructions to the Israelites. These are the animals you are allowed to eat:
3 Ze vaki-hotro, ie misarake do’e o hotro’eo, naho mihota haneñe (amo bibio) le mahakama’ areo.
any animal that both has a divided hoof and also chews the cud.
4 Fe tsy ho kamae’ areo o mpihota naho o vaki-hotro retoañe: o ramevao, amy te tsy vaki-hotro ndra t’ie mihota, aa le faly ama’ areo.
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 O trandrakeo, amy te tsy vaki-hotro ndra t’ie mihota le faly ama’ areo.
The rock hyrax, which though it chews the cud doesn't have a divided hoof, so it is unclean for you.
6 O bitroo, amy te tsy vaki-hotro ndra t’ie mihota, le faly ama’ areo.
The hare, which though it chews the cud doesn't have a divided hoof, so it is unclean for you.
7 O lamboo, toe misarake o hotro’eo naho vaki-hotro f’ie tsy mihota, le faly ama’ areo.
The pig, which though it has a divided hoof doesn't chew the cud, so it is unclean for you.
8 Tsy ho kamae’ areo o nofo’eo le tsy ho tsapae’ areo o fate’eo, faly ama’ areo.
You are not to eat their meat or touch their bead bodies. They are unclean for you.
9 Iretoy ty ho fikama’ areo amy ze he’e an-drano ao. Ndra inoñ’ inoñe aman’ elatse naho sisy, he andrano he an-driake ke an-tsaka ao—le azo’ areo kamaeñe.
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 Fe ze raha iaby an-driake ndra an-tsaka ao tsy aman’ elatse ndra sisi’e amo fonga raha mifamorohotse an-dranoo naho amy ze hene raha veloñe an-drano, le tiva ama’ areo;
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 veta ama’ areo irezay. Tsy ho kamae’ areo ty nofo’e, fa tiva ama’ areo ty fate’e.

20 Tiva ama’ areo ze hene bibi-kede aman’ elatse, misitse aman-tombo’e efatse.

21 Fe o bibi-kede aman’ elatse, mpisitsitse aman-tomboke efatseo le azo kamaeñe o amam-pange’e ambone’ o piko’eo naho mitsindrèko an-taneo.
But you can eat the following kinds of flying insects that crawl: those that have jointed legs they use to jump.

and if you pick up one of their dead bodies you must wash your clothes, and you will be unclean until the evening.
26 Ze hene biby vaky hotro naho tsy mizara, ndra o tsy mihotao, le faly ama’ areo, fonga maleotse ty mitsapa irezay.
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.

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 Le fonga haleotse ze raha ipaoha’ ty mate amy rezay, ke hatae, ke lamba, ke holitse, he haroñe—ze raha manañ’ asa, le tsy mahay tsy ajorobo an-drano ao, naho haleotse pak’ amy harivay, vaho halio;
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.
