Revhitiko 11
1 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi naAroni,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2 “Taurai kuvaIsraeri muti, ‘Pamhuka dzose dzinofamba panyika, idzi ndidzo dzamunogona kudya:
Say to the children of Israel: These are the animals which you are to eat of all the living things of the earth.
3 Munogona kudya mhuka ipi zvayo ina mahwanda, akapararana zvachose, uye inozeya zvokudya.
Whatsoever hath the hoof divided, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, you shall eat.
4 “‘Asi kune dzimwe dzinongozeya kudya chete, kana kuti dzimwe dzine mahwanda akaparadzana chete, idzi hamufaniri kudzidya. Ngamera, kunyange ichizeya zvokudya, haina mahwanda akapatsanuka; haina kuchena kwamuri.
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 Mbira kunyange ichizeya zvokudya, haina mahwanda akapatsanuka, haina kuchena kwamuri.
The cherogrillus which cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof, is unclean.
6 Tsuro kunyange ichizeya zvokudya, haina mahwanda akapatsanuka, haina kuchena kwamuri.
The hare also: for that too cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof.
7 Nguruve kunyange ine mahwanda akanyatsopatsanuka, haizeyi zvokudya, haina kuchena kwamuri.
And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof, cheweth not the cud.
8 Hamufaniri kudya nyama yazvo kana kubata zvitunha zvazvo; hazvina kuchena kwamuri.
The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.
9 “‘Pazvisikwa zvose zvinogara mumvura yamakungwa nenzizi, munogona kudya dzose dzine zvimbi namakwati.
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 Asi zvipuka zvose zvomugungwa kana munzizi zvisina zvimbi namakwati, kunyange pakati pezvinouya samatutu kana pakati pezvose zvisikwa zvinorarama mumvura, zvinonyangadza kwamuri.
But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those things that move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to you,
11 Uye sezvo zvichinyangadza kwamuri hamufaniri kudya nyama yazvo uye munofanira kusema zvitunha zvazvo.
And detestable: their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall avoid.
12 Chose chinhu chinorarama mumvura chisina zvimbi namakwati chinonyangadza kwamuri.
All that have not fins and scales, in the waters, shall be unclean.
13 “‘Idzi ndidzo shiri dzamunofanira kusema, uye musadzidya nokuti dzinonyangadza kwamuri: gondo, gora, chapungu,
Of birds these are they which you must not eat, and which are to be avoided by you: The eagle, and the griffon, and the osprey,
14 njerere, marudzi ose oruvangu rutema,
And the kite, and the vulture, according to their kind,
15 marudzi ose amakunguo,
And all that is of the raven kind, according to their likeness.
16 marudzi ose amazizi, shiri yegungwa namarudzi ose oruvangu,
The ostrich, and the owl, and the larus, and the hawk according to its kind.
17 nezizi duku, nekanyururahove, nezizi guru,
The screech owl, and the cormorant, and the ibis,
18 nejichidza, nekondo, negora,
And the swan, and the bittern, and the porphyrion,
19 neshuramurove, namarudzi ose ekondo, nemhupupu nechiremwaremwa.
The heron, and the charadrion according to its kind, the houp also, and the bat.
20 “‘Zvose zvipukanana zvinobhururuka, zvinofamba namakumbo mana zvinonyangadza kwamuri.
Of things that fly, whatsoever goeth upon four feet, shall be abominable to you.
21 Kunyange zvakadaro, kunewo zvimwe zvipuka zvine mapapiro zvinofamba namakumbo mana zvamunogona kudya, izvo zvine makumbo akabatanidzwa okukwakuka nawo.
But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the legs behind longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth,
22 Pakati pezvizvi munogona kudya marudzi ose emhashu, namarudzi ose amakurwe namarudzi ebambamukota.
That you shall eat, as the bruchus in its kind, the attacus, and ophiomachus, and the locust, every one according to their kind.
23 Asi zvimwe zvose zvipukanana zvine mapapiro zvine makumbo mana munofanira kuzvisema.
But of dying things whatsoever hath four feet only, shall be an abomination to you:
24 “‘Musazvisvibisa nezvizvi; ani naani anobata zvitunha zvazvo achava akasviba kusvikira manheru.
And whosoever shall touch the carcasses of them, shall be defiled, and shall be unclean until the evening:
25 Ani naani achanhonga chimwe chezvitunha zvazvo anofanira kusuka nguo dzake uye achava akasviba kusvikira manheru.
And if it be necessary that he carry any of these things when they are dead, he shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the sun set.
26 “‘Mhuka yose yose ina mahwanda akapararana asi asina kunyatsopararana, isingazeyi kudya, haina kuchena kwamuri; ani naani anobata chitunha chayo achava asina kuchena.
Every beast that hath a hoof, but divideth it not, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean: and he that toucheth it, shall be defiled.
27 Pamhuka dzose dzinofamba namakumbo mana, idzo dzine tsoka dzakafara hadzina kuchena kwamuri; ani naani anobata chitunha chadzo achava akasviba kusvikira manheru.
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.
28 Ani naani achanhonga zvitunha zvadzo anofanira kusuka nguo dzake uye achava akasviba kusvikira manheru. Hadzina kuchena kwamuri.
And he that shall carry such carcasses, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until evening: because all these things are unclean to you.
29 “‘Pamhuka dzinokambaira panyika, idzi hadzina kuchena kwamuri: chidembo, gonzo, namarudzi ose egwavava,
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:
30 chifurira, namarudzi ose amadzvinyu, dhambakura nerwaivhi.
The shrew, and the chameleon, and the stello, and the lizard, and the mole:
31 Pane zvose zvinokambaira panyika, izvi hazvina kuchena kwamuri. Asi ani naani anozvibata kana zvafa achava akasviba kusvikira manheru.
All these are unclean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be unclean until the evening.
32 Kana chimwe chazvo chikafa, chikawira pamusoro pechimwe chinhu, chinhu ichocho hazvinei kuti chinoshandiswei, chinova chisina kuchena kunyange chakagadzirwa nomuti, mucheka, dehwe, kana saga. Chiisei mumvura; chichava chisina kuchena kusvikira manheru, uye ipapo chichava chakachena.
And upon what thing soever any of their carcasses shall fall, it shall be defiled, whether it be a vessel of wood, or a garment, or skins or haircloths; or any thing in which work is done, they shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean until the evening, and so afterwards shall be clean.
33 Kana chimwe chazvo chikawira muhari yevhu, zvose zviri mairi zvichava zvisina kuchena, uye munofanira kuputsa hari yacho.
But an earthen vessel, into which any of these shall fall, shall be defiled, and therefore is to be broken.
34 Chokudya chipi zvacho chinogona kudyiwa, asi chine mvura pachiri, yabva muhari iyoyo chichava chisina kuchena uye kana chipi zvacho chinganwiwa kubva imomo hachina kuchena.
Any meat which you eat, if water from such a vessel be poured upon it, shall be unclean; and every liquor that is drunk out of any such vessel, shall be unclean.
35 Chose chinhu chinowirwa nechitunha chazvo chinova chisina kuchena; choto kana hari yokubikira zvinofanira kuputswa. Hazvina kuchena uye munofanira kuzvibata sezvisina kuchena.
And upon whatsoever thing any of these dead beasts shall fall, it shall be unclean: whether it be oven, or pots with feet, they shall be destroyed, and shall be unclean.
36 Asi chitubu, kana tsime rokuchera mvura zvinoramba zvakachena, asi ani naani anobata chimwe chezvitunha izvi achava asina kuchena.
But fountains and cisterns, and all gatherings together of waters shall be clean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be defiled.
37 Kana chitunha chikawira pambeu ipi zvayo inofanira kudyarwa, inoramba yakachena.
If it fall upon seed corn, it shall not defile it.
38 Asi kana mvura yaiswa pambeu, uye chitunha chikawira pairi, inova isina kuchena kwamuri.
But if any man pour water upon the seed, and afterwards it be touched by the carcasses, it shall be forthwith defiled.
39 “‘Kana mhuka yamunobvumirwa kudya ikafa yoga, munhu wose achabata mutumbi wayo achava asina kuchena kusvikira manheru.
If any beast die, of which it is lawful for you to eat, he that toucheth the carcass thereof, shall be unclean until the evening:
40 Munhu wose achadya imwe nyama yacho anofanira kusuka nguo dzake agova asina kuchena kusvikira manheru.
And he that eateth or carrieth any thing thereof, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the evening.
41 “‘Chisikwa chose chinokambaira panyika chinonyangadza, hachifaniri kudyiwa.
All that creepeth upon the earth shall be abominable, neither shall it be taken for meat.
42 Hamufaniri kudya chisikwa chipi zvacho chinokambaira panyika, chingava chinofamba nedumbu kana chinofamba namakumbo mana kana namakumbo akawanda, chinonyangadza.
Whatsoever goeth upon the breast on four feet, or hath many feet, or traileth on the earth, you shall not eat, because it is abominable.
43 Musazvisvibisa nechimwe chezvisikwa izvi. Musazvisvibisa nazvo kana nokuda kwazvo.
Do not defile your souls, nor touch aught thereof, lest you be unclean,
44 Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, zvitsaurei mugova vatsvene, nokuti ndiri mutsvene. Musazvisvibisa nechipuka chipi zvacho chinofamba-famba pasi.
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.
45 Ndini Jehovha akakubudisai muIjipiti kuti ndive Mwari wenyu; saka ivai vatsvene nokuti ndiri mutsvene.
For I am the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God.
46 “‘Ndiyo mitemo iri maererano nemhuka, shiri, zvipenyu zvose zvinofamba mumvura nezvipuka zvose zvinofamba panyika.
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 Munofanira kuisa mutsauko pakati pezvisina kuchena nezvakachena, pakati pezvisikwa zvipenyu zvinogona kudyiwa nezvisingagoni kudyiwa.’”
That you may know the differences of the clean, and unclean, and know what you ought to eat, and what to refuse.
