Lewwota 11
1 Waaqayyos Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe;
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2 “Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhaa: ‘Bineensota lafa irra jiraatan hunda keessaa kanneen isin nyaachuu dandeessan isaan kanaa dha:
Say to the children of Israel: These are the animals which you are to eat of all the living things of the earth.
3 Bineensa kotteen isaa guutumaan guutuutti baqaqaa taʼe kan alala guuru kam iyyuu nyaachuu dandeessu.
Whatsoever hath the hoof divided, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, you shall eat.
4 “‘Kanneen alala qofa guuran yookaan kotteen isaanii qofti baqaqaa taʼe garuu nyaachuu hin qabdan. Gaalli yoo alala guure iyyuu kottee baqaqaa hin qabu; inni isiniif qulqulluu miti.
But whatsoever cheweth indeed the cud, and hath a hoof, but divideth it not, as the camel, and others, that you shall not eat, but shall reckon it among the unclean.
5 Osoleen yoo alala guurte iyyuu kottee baqaqaa hin qabdu; isheen isiniif qulqulluu miti.
The cherogrillus which cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof, is unclean.
6 Illeettiin yoo alala guurte iyyuu kottee baqaqaa hin qabdu; isheen isiniif qulqulluu miti.
The hare also: for that too cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof.
7 Booyyeen yoo kottee baqaqaa qabaate iyyuu alala hin guuru; inni isiniif qulqulluu miti.
And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof, cheweth not the cud.
8 Isin foon isaanii nyaachuu yookaan raqa isaanii tuquu hin qabdan; isaan isiniif qulqulluu miti.
The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.
9 “‘Uumamawwan bishaan galaanotaa fi bishaan lageenii keessa jiraatan hunda keessaa kanneen qoochoo fi qola qaban kam iyyuu nyaachuu dandeessu.
These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that hath fins, and scales, as well in the sea, as in the rivers, and the pools, you shall eat.
10 Garuu uumamawwan galaanotaa fi lageen keessa jiraatan kanneen qoochoo fi qola hin qabne hundi, uumamawwan bishaan keessa munyuuqan hundi yookaan kanneen bishaan keessa jiraatan hundi isiniif xuraaʼoo haa taʼan.
But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those things that move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to you,
11 Isaan isin duratti xuraaʼoo waan taʼaniif foon isaanii hin nyaatinaa; raqni isaaniis xuraaʼaa haa taʼu.
And detestable: their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall avoid.
12 Wanni bishaan keessa jiraatu kan qoochoo fi qola hin qabne kam iyyuu isiniif xuraaʼaa haa taʼu.
All that have not fins and scales, in the waters, shall be unclean.

And the kite, and the vulture, according to their kind,
15 arraagessa gosa garaa garaa,
And all that is of the raven kind, according to their likeness.

18 urunguu adii, urunguu gammoojjii, allaattii raqaa,

19 huummoo, huummoo gosa kamii iyyuu, haadha gaayyee, simbira halkanii.
The heron, and the charadrion according to its kind, the houp also, and the bat.

Of things that fly, whatsoever goeth upon four feet, shall be abominable to you.
21 Taʼus ilbiisonni barrisan kanneen miilla afraniinuu deeman keessaa tokko tokko nyaachuu ni dandeessu; isaanis warra ittiin lafa irra utaaluuf miilla dadachaʼu qabanii dha.
But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the legs behind longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth,
22 Isaan keessaas hawwaannisa gosa garaa garaa, hawwaannisa magariisa garaa garaa, farda waaqaa garaa garaa fi korophisa garaa garaa nyaachuu dandeessu.
That you shall eat, as the bruchus in its kind, the attacus, and ophiomachus, and the locust, every one according to their kind.
23 Garuu ilbiisota barrisan kanneen miilla afur qaban biraa hundi isiniif xuraaʼoo haa taʼan.
But of dying things whatsoever hath four feet only, shall be an abomination to you:
24 “‘Isin wantoota kanneeniin of xureessitu; namni raqa isaanii tuqu kam iyyuu hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼaa dha.
And whosoever shall touch the carcasses of them, shall be defiled, and shall be unclean until the evening:

That which walketh upon hands of all animals which go on all four, shall be unclean: he that shall touch their carcasses shall be defiled until evening.

These also shall be reckoned among unclean things, of all that move upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the crocodile, every one according to their kind:

But an earthen vessel, into which any of these shall fall, shall be defiled, and therefore is to be broken.
34 Nyaanni nyaatamuu dandaʼu kan garuu bishaan okkotee akkasii keessaa itti naqame kam iyyuu xuraaʼaa dha; dhugaatiin okkotee sana keessaa dhugamuu dandaʼu kam iyyuus xuraaʼaa dha.

Do not defile your souls, nor touch aught thereof, lest you be unclean,
44 Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii dha; waan ani qulqulluu taʼeef isinis of qulqulleessaatii qulqulloota taʼaa. Uumama lafa irra munyuuqu kamiin iyyuu of hin xureessinaa.
For I am the Lord your God: be holy because I am holy. Defile not your souls by any creeping thing, that moveth upon the earth.

For I am the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God.

You shall be holy, because I am holy. This is the law of beasts and fowls, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and creepeth on the earth:
47 Isin waan xuraaʼaa fi waan qulqulluu, uumama nyaatamuu fi kan hin nyaatamne addaan baaftanii beekuu qabdu.’”
That you may know the differences of the clean, and unclean, and know what you ought to eat, and what to refuse.
