Revhitiko 11

1 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi naAroni,

And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

2 “Taurai kuvaIsraeri muti, ‘Pamhuka dzose dzinofamba panyika, idzi ndidzo dzamunogona kudya:

Speak to the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

3 Munogona kudya mhuka ipi zvayo ina mahwanda, akapararana zvachose, uye inozeya zvokudya.

Whatever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye 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.

Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you.

5 Mbira kunyange ichizeya zvokudya, haina mahwanda akapatsanuka, haina kuchena kwamuri.

And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you.

6 Tsuro kunyange ichizeya zvokudya, haina mahwanda akapatsanuka, haina kuchena kwamuri.

And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you.

7 Nguruve kunyange ine mahwanda akanyatsopatsanuka, haizeyi zvokudya, haina kuchena kwamuri.

And the swine, though he divideth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

8 Hamufaniri kudya nyama yazvo kana kubata zvitunha zvazvo; hazvina kuchena kwamuri.

Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

9 “‘Pazvisikwa zvose zvinogara mumvura yamakungwa nenzizi, munogona kudya dzose dzine zvimbi namakwati.

These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

10 Asi zvipuka zvose zvomugungwa kana munzizi zvisina zvimbi namakwati, kunyange pakati pezvinouya samatutu kana pakati pezvose zvisikwa zvinorarama mumvura, zvinonyangadza kwamuri.

And all that have not fins nor scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living creature which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination to you:

11 Uye sezvo zvichinyangadza kwamuri hamufaniri kudya nyama yazvo uye munofanira kusema zvitunha zvazvo.

They shall be even an abomination to you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

12 Chose chinhu chinorarama mumvura chisina zvimbi namakwati chinonyangadza kwamuri.

Whatever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination to you.

13 “‘Idzi ndidzo shiri dzamunofanira kusema, uye musadzidya nokuti dzinonyangadza kwamuri: gondo, gora, chapungu,

And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

14 njerere, marudzi ose oruvangu rutema,

And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;

15 marudzi ose amakunguo,

Every raven after his kind;

16 marudzi ose amazizi, shiri yegungwa namarudzi ose oruvangu,

And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

17 nezizi duku, nekanyururahove, nezizi guru,

And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

18 nejichidza, nekondo, negora,

And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,

19 neshuramurove, namarudzi ose ekondo, nemhupupu nechiremwaremwa.

And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

20 “‘Zvose zvipukanana zvinobhururuka, zvinofamba namakumbo mana zvinonyangadza kwamuri.

All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination to you.

21 Kunyange zvakadaro, kunewo zvimwe zvipuka zvine mapapiro zvinofamba namakumbo mana zvamunogona kudya, izvo zvine makumbo akabatanidzwa okukwakuka nawo.

Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with upon the earth;

22 Pakati pezvizvi munogona kudya marudzi ose emhashu, namarudzi ose amakurwe namarudzi ebambamukota.

Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

23 Asi zvimwe zvose zvipukanana zvine mapapiro zvine makumbo mana munofanira kuzvisema.

But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination to you.

24 “‘Musazvisvibisa nezvizvi; ani naani anobata zvitunha zvazvo achava akasviba kusvikira manheru.

And for these ye shall be unclean: whoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the evening.

25 Ani naani achanhonga chimwe chezvitunha zvazvo anofanira kusuka nguo dzake uye achava akasviba kusvikira manheru.

And whoever beareth any of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

26 “‘Mhuka yose yose ina mahwanda akapararana asi asina kunyatsopararana, isingazeyi kudya, haina kuchena kwamuri; ani naani anobata chitunha chayo achava asina kuchena.

The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean to you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

27 Pamhuka dzose dzinofamba namakumbo mana, idzo dzine tsoka dzakafara hadzina kuchena kwamuri; ani naani anobata chitunha chadzo achava akasviba kusvikira manheru.

And whatever goeth upon its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean to you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the evening.

28 Ani naani achanhonga zvitunha zvadzo anofanira kusuka nguo dzake uye achava akasviba kusvikira manheru. Hadzina kuchena kwamuri.

And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: they are unclean to you.

29 “‘Pamhuka dzinokambaira panyika, idzi hadzina kuchena kwamuri: chidembo, gonzo, namarudzi ose egwavava,

These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind,

30 chifurira, namarudzi ose amadzvinyu, dhambakura nerwaivhi.

And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.

31 Pane zvose zvinokambaira panyika, izvi hazvina kuchena kwamuri. Asi ani naani anozvibata kana zvafa achava akasviba kusvikira manheru.

These are unclean to you among all that creep: whoever doth touch them, when they are dead, 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 whatever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, in which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.

33 Kana chimwe chazvo chikawira muhari yevhu, zvose zviri mairi zvichava zvisina kuchena, uye munofanira kuputsa hari yacho.

And every earthen vessel, into which any of them falleth, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.

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.

Of all food which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every 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 every thing on which any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether an oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.

36 Asi chitubu, kana tsime rokuchera mvura zvinoramba zvakachena, asi ani naani anobata chimwe chezvitunha izvi achava asina kuchena.

Nevertheless a fountain or pit, in which there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

37 Kana chitunha chikawira pambeu ipi zvayo inofanira kudyarwa, inoramba yakachena.

And if any part of their carcase shall fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.

38 Asi kana mvura yaiswa pambeu, uye chitunha chikawira pairi, inova isina kuchena kwamuri.

But if any water shall be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase shall fall on it, it shall be unclean to you.

39 “‘Kana mhuka yamunobvumirwa kudya ikafa yoga, munhu wose achabata mutumbi wayo achava asina kuchena kusvikira manheru.

And if any beast, of which ye may eat, shall die; he that toucheth its carcase 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 of its carcase shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: he also that beareth its carcase shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

41 “‘Chisikwa chose chinokambaira panyika chinonyangadza, hachifaniri kudyiwa.

And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

42 Hamufaniri kudya chisikwa chipi zvacho chinokambaira panyika, chingava chinofamba nedumbu kana chinofamba namakumbo mana kana namakumbo akawanda, chinonyangadza.

Whatever goeth upon the belly, and whatever goeth upon all four, or whatever hath many feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

43 Musazvisvibisa nechimwe chezvisikwa izvi. Musazvisvibisa nazvo kana nokuda kwazvo.

Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled by them.

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: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

45 Ndini Jehovha akakubudisai muIjipiti kuti ndive Mwari wenyu; saka ivai vatsvene nokuti ndiri mutsvene.

For I am the LORD that bringeth you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

46 “‘Ndiyo mitemo iri maererano nemhuka, shiri, zvipenyu zvose zvinofamba mumvura nezvipuka zvose zvinofamba panyika.

This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:

47 Munofanira kuisa mutsauko pakati pezvisina kuchena nezvakachena, pakati pezvisikwa zvipenyu zvinogona kudyiwa nezvisingagoni kudyiwa.’”

To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
