लेवीहरू 11

1 परमप्रभु मोशा र हारूनसँग यसरी बोल्‍नुभयो,

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

2 “इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन्‍नू, ‘पृथ्‍वीमा भएका सबै पशुहरूमध्ये तिमीहरूले खान मिल्‍ने जीवित प्राणीहरू यी नै हुन् ।

Say to the sons of Israel: These are the animals that you ought to eat out of all the living things of the earth.

3 चिरिएको खुर भएको र उग्राएर चबाउने सबै पशु तिमीहरूले खान मिल्‍छ ।

All that has a divided hoof, and that chews over again, among the cattle, you shall eat.

4 तर, उग्राएर चबाउने वा चिरिएको खुर मात्र भएको पशुचाहिँ तिमीहरूले नखानू, जस्तै ऊँट, किनभने त्यसले उग्राएर चबाउँछ तर त्यसको खुर चिरिएको हुँदैन । यसकारण त्यो तिमीहरूका निम्ति अशुद्ध हो ।

But whatever certainly chews over again, but has a hoof that is not divided, such as the camel and others, these you shall not eat, and you shall consider them to be among what is unclean.

5 अनि शापन किनभने त्यसले उग्राएर चबाउँछ तर त्यसको खुर चिरिएको हुँदैन । त्यो तिमीहरूका निम्ति अशुद्ध हो ।

The rock rabbit which chews over again, and whose hoof is not divided, is unclean,

6 अनि खरायो तिमीहरूका निम्ति अशुद्ध हो किनभने त्यसले उग्राएर चबाउँछ तर त्यसको खुर चिरिएको हुँदैन ।

and so also is the hare, for it too chews over again, yet its hoof is not divided,

7 अनि सुँगुरको खुर चिरिएको भए तापनि त्यसले उग्राएर चबाउँदैन । यसैकारण त्यो तिमीहरूका निम्ति अशुद्ध हो ।

and also the swine, which, though its hoof is divided, does not chew over again.

8 तिमीहरूले यी कुनै पशुको मासु नखानू, न त तिनीहरूको सिनु छुनू । यी तिमीहरूका निम्ति अशुद्ध हुन् ।

The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.

9 पानीमा पाइने प्राणीहरूमा सागर वा नदीहरूमा पाइने पखेटा र कत्‍ला भएका सबै तिमीहरूले खान मिल्‍छ ।

These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that has little fins and scales, as much in the sea, as in the rivers and ponds, you shall eat.

10 तर सागर वा नदीहरूका सबै जीवित प्राणीहरू र पानीमा हिँड्ने र पानीमा पाइने सबै जीवित प्राणीहरू जसका पखेटा र कत्‍ला हुँदैनन्, ती तिमीहरूले घृणा गर्नू ।

But whatever does not have fins and scales, of those things that live and move in the waters, shall be abominable to you,

11 ती घृणित भएका हुनाले, तिमीहरूले तिनका मासु नखानू, र तिनका सिनुलाई पनि घृणा गर्नू ।

and detestable; their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall avoid.

12 पानीमा पाइने प्राणी जसका पखेटा र कत्‍ला हुँदैनन्, ती तिमीहरूद्वारा घृणित होस् ।

All that does not have fins and scales in the waters shall be polluted.

13 तिमीहरूले घृणा गर्नुपर्ने र खान नहुने पक्षीहरू यी हुन्ः गरुड, गिद्ध,

These are those things among the birds which you must not eat, and which are to be avoided by you: the eagle, and the griffin, and the osprey,

14 चील, सबै प्रकारका बेसारो,

and the kite, as well as the vulture, according to their kind,

15 सबै प्रकारका काग,

and all that is of the raven kind, according to their likeness,

16 सुतुरमुर्ग र हुचील, समुद्रीचरो, र सबै प्रकारका बाज ।

the ostrich, and the owl, and the gull, and the hawk, according to its kind,

17 तिमीहरूले यी पक्षीहरूलाई पनि घृणा गर्नू, सानो र ठुलो लाटोकोसेरो, जलकाग,

the owl, and the sea bird, and the ibis,

18 राजहंस र धनेस, माछा खाने चील,

and the swan, and the pelican, and the marsh hen,

19 सारस, सबै प्रकारका बकुल्‍ला, फाप्रेचरो र चमेरो ।

the heron, and the plover according to its kind, the crested hoopoe, and also the bat.

20 चार खुट्‍टाले हिँड्ने पखेटा भएका सबै किराहरू तिमीहरूका निम्ति घृणित हुन् ।

Of all that flies, whatever steps upon four feet shall be abominable to you.

21 तर उड्ने किराहरूमा चार खुट्‍टाले हिँड्ने र जमिनमा उफ्रनको निम्ति खुट्‍टामा जोर्नीहरू भएकाहरूचाहिँ तिमीहरूले खान मिल्छ ।

But whatever certainly walks upon four feet, and also has longer legs behind, with which it hops upon the earth,

22 तिमीहरूले कुनै पनि प्रकारका सलह, खुइले-सलह, किथ्रो, वा फटेङ्ग्रो पनि खान मिल्छ ।

you shall eat, such as the beetle in its kind, and the cricket, and grasshopper, and the locust, each one according to its kind.

23 तर चार खुट्‍टा भएका सबै उड्ने किराहरूचाहिँ तिमीहरूद्वारा घृणित होस् ।

But among flying things, whatever has only four feet shall be detestable to you.

24 यदि तिमीहरूले यीमध्ये कुनैको सिनुलाई छोयौ भने तिमीहरू साँझसम्म अशुद्ध हुने छौ ।

And whoever will have touched their carcasses shall be defiled, and he shall be unclean until evening.

25 जसले तीमध्ये कसैको सिनु बोक्‍छ, उसले आफ्ना लुगा धोओस् र साँझसम्मै त्यो अशुद्ध रहने छ ।

And if it will be necessary to carry any of these dead things, he shall wash his clothes, and he shall be unclean until the sun sets.

26 हरेक पशु जसको खुर पुरै चिरिएको छैन वा जसले उग्राएर चबाउँदैन, त्यो तिमीहरूका निम्ति अशुद्ध हुन्छ । ती छुने सबै अशुद्ध हुने छन् ।

Every animal that certainly has a hoof, but which is not divided, nor does it chew over again, shall be unclean. And whoever will have touched it shall be contaminated.

27 चार खुट्‍टाले हिँड्ने पशुहरूमध्ये आफ्ना पन्‍जाले हिँड्नेचाहिँ तिमीहरूका निम्ति अशुद्ध हुन्छन् । त्यस्तो सिनु छुने जो कोही साँझसम्म अशुद्ध हुने छ ।

Whatever walks upon its hands, out of all the animals that advance on all fours, shall be unclean. Whoever will have touched their carcasses shall be polluted until evening.

28 त्यस्तो सिनु बोक्‍ने जो कोहीले आफ्ना लुगाहरू धोओस् र साँझसम्म त्यो अशुद्ध रहोस् । यी पशुहरू तिमीहरूका निम्ति अशुद्ध हुने छन् ।

And whoever will have carried this kind of carcass shall wash his clothes, and he shall be unclean until evening. For all these are unclean to you.

29 जमिनमा घस्रने पशुहरूमा यी प्राणीहरू तिमीहरूका निम्ति अशुद्ध हुने छन्ः न्याउरीमूसो, मूसो, सबै थरीका ठुलो छेपारो,

Likewise, these shall be considered among the polluted things, out of all that moves upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the crocodile, each one according to its kind,

30 गोहोरो, सालक, भालेमुङ्‍रो, बालुवाको छेपारो, र रङ्ग बदल्‍ने छेपारो ।

the shrew, and the chameleon, and the gecko, and the lizard, and the mole.

31 घस्रने पशुहरूमा यी सबै तिमीहरूका निम्ति अशुद्ध हुने छन् । ती मरेपछि ती छुने सबै साँझसम्म अशुद्ध हुने छन् ।

All these are unclean. Whoever will have touched their carcasses shall be unclean until evening.

32 तिनीहरूमध्ये कोही मरेर केही कुरामाथि पर्‍यो भने, त्यो वस्तु काठ, कपडा, छाला, वा भाङ्‍रो, जे सुकैबाट बनेको भए तापनि त्यो अशुद्ध हुने छ । त्यो जे भए तापनि र त्यो जे सुकैको निम्ति प्रयोग हुने भए तापनि, त्यो पानीमा डुबाइनुपर्छ, र त्यो साँझसम्म अशुद्ध रहने छ । त्यसपछि त्यो शुद्ध हुने छ ।

And anything upon which something from their carcasses will have fallen shall be defiled, whether it is a vessel of wood, or a garment, or skins, or haircloths, or anything by which work is done. These shall be dipped in water and shall be defiled until evening, but then afterwards these shall be clean.

33 यदि कुनै माटोको भाँडोमा कुनै अशुद्ध प्राणी पर्‍यो भने, त्यस भाँडोमा भएको जेसुकै अशुद्ध हुने छ, र तिमीहरूले त्यो भाँडोलाई नष्‍ट गर्नू ।

But an earthen vessel, into which something from these will fall, shall be defiled; and therefore it is to be broken.

34 कुनै खान मिल्‍ने कुरामा त्यस्तो भाँडोको पानी पर्‍यो भने त्यो अशुद्ध हुन्छ । त्यस भाँडोको कुनै पनि पिउने तरल पदार्थ अशुद्ध हुन्छ ।

Any of the foods that you eat, if water from such a vessel will have been poured upon it, it shall be unclean. And every liquid which one may drink from such a vessel shall be unclean.

35 जुन कुरामाथि तिनीहरूको सिनु खस्‍छ, त्यो वस्तु भट्‍टी वा सानो चुलो जे भए तापनि त्यसलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा गरिनुपर्छ । ती अशुद्ध हुन् र तिमीहरूका निम्ति ती अशुद्ध रहून् ।

And if anything from among these kinds of dead things has fallen upon it, it shall be unclean, whether it be an oven, or a pot with feet, these shall be unclean and shall be destroyed.

36 जरुवा वा दहको पानी शुद्ध रहने छ; तर तिनीहरूको सिनु छुने सबै अशुद्ध हुन्छन् ।

Yet truly, fountains and cisterns, and all reservoirs of water shall be clean. Whoever will have touched their carcasses shall be defiled.

37 यदि तिनीहरूको सिनुको कुनै भाग छरिने बिउमा पर्‍यो भने, ती बिउहरू भने शुद्ध नै रहन्छन् ।

If it falls upon seed grain, it shall not defile it.

38 तर यदि बिउमा पानी राखिएको भए, र तिनीहरूको सिनुको कुनै भाग तीमाथि पर्‍यो भने, ती तिमीहरूका निम्ति अशुद्ध हुने छन् ।

But if anyone has poured water upon the seed grain, and afterwards it was touched by the carcasses, it shall be immediately defiled.

39 तिमीहरूले खाने गरेका कुनै पशु मर्‍यो भने, त्यसको सिनु छुने कोही पनि साँझसम्म अशुद्ध हुने छ ।

If any animals will have died, from which it is lawful for you to eat, whoever will have touched its carcass shall be unclean until evening.

40 त्यस्तो सिनु खाने जो कोहीले आफ्ना लुगाहरू धुनुपर्छ र त्यो साँझसम्म अशुद्ध रहने छ । त्यस्तो सिनुबाट केही लिने जो कोहीले आफ्ना लुगाहरू धोओस् र त्यो साँझसम्म अशुद्ध रहने छ ।

And whoever will have eaten or carried anything of these shall wash his clothes, and he shall be unclean until evening.

41 जमिनमा घस्रने सबै प्राणी घृणित हुनुपर्छ । ती नखानू ।

All that creeps across the earth shall be abominable, neither shall it be taken up as food.

42 आफ्नो पेटले हिँड्ने, वा सबै चार खुट्‍टा प्रयोग गरी हिँड्ने, वा धेरै खुट्‍टा भएका जुनसुकै जमिनमा घस्रेर हिँड्ने प्राणी तिमीहरूले नखानू, किनकि ती घृणित हुनुपर्छ ।

Whatever advances by four feet upon the chest, or that has many feet, or that drags across the soil, you shall not eat, because it is abominable.

43 कुनै पनि घस्रने प्राणीबाट तिमीहरू अशुद्ध नहुनू; आफूलाई अपवित्र बनाउने गरी तीबाट तिमीहरू अशुद्ध नहुनू ।

Do not be willing to contaminate your souls, nor shall you touch any of these, lest you become unclean.

44 किनभने म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ । म पवित्र भएको कारण तिमीहरूले आफैलाई पवित्र राख्‍नुपर्छ, र यसैकारण तिमीहरू पवित्र होओ । जमिनमा घस्रने कुनै पनि प्राणीबाट तिमीहरूले आफैलाई अपवित्र नबनाओ ।

For I am the Lord your God. Be holy, for I am Holy. Do not pollute your souls with any creeping thing, which moves across the land.

45 किनभने तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुनलाई तिमीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर ल्याउने परमप्रभु म नै हुँ । यसैकारण म पवित्र भएको हुनाले तिमीहरू पवित्र होओ ।

For I am the Lord, who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I would be your God; you shall be holy, for I am Holy.

46 सबै पशु, पक्षी, पानीमा चलहल गर्ने सबै जीवित प्राणी, र जमिनमा घस्रने सबै प्राणीसम्बन्धी विधि यी नै हुन्,

This is the law of animals and flying things, and of every living soul that moves in the waters or creeps upon the land,

47 जसका बिचमा अशुद्ध र शुद्ध, र खान मिल्‍ने र नमिल्‍ने प्राणीहरू भनेर छुट्ट्‍याउन जरुरी छ’ ।”

so that you may know the difference between clean and unclean, and so that you may know what you ought to eat, and what you ought to refuse.
