3 Mose 11

1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,

After, the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying vnto them,

2 “Monka nkyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘eyi ne mmoa a mubetumi awe wɔ asase so mmoa no mu.

Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, These are the beastes which yee shall eate, among all the beasts that are on the earth.

3 Mutumi we aboa biara a ne tɔte mu apae kosi nea opuw wosaw so.

Whatsoeuer parteth the hoofe, and is clouen footed, and cheweth the cudde, among the beastes, that shall ye eate.

4 “‘Monnnwe mmoa a wodidi so yi. Yoma, efisɛ opuw wosaw nanso ne tɔte mu mpae; ne ho ntew mma mo.

But of them that chewe the cud, or deuide the hoofe onely, of them yee shall not eate: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, and deuideth not ye hoofe, he shall be vncleane vnto you.

5 Atwaboa, efisɛ opuw wosaw nanso ne tɔte mu mpae; ne ho ntew mma mo.

Likewise the conie, because he cheweth the cud and deuideth not the hoofe, he shall bee vncleane to you.

6 Adanko, efisɛ opuw wosaw nanso ne tɔte mu mpae; ne ho ntew mma mo.

Also the hare, because he cheweth the cud, and deuideth not the hoofe, he shalbe vncleane to you.

7 Prako, efisɛ ne tɔte mu apae nanso ompuw nwosaw; ne ho ntew mma mo.

And the swine, because he parteth ye hoofe and is clouen footed, but cheweth not the cud, he shalbe vncleane to you.

8 Monnnwe wɔn nam anaa mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn funu; wɔn ho ntew mma mo.

Of their flesh shall yee not eate, and their carkeise shall yee not touch: for they shall bee vncleane to you.

9 “‘Munni nsumnam biara a ɛwɔ ntɛtɛ ne abon a efi nsubɔnten anaa po mu.

These shall ye eate, of all that are in the waters: whatsoeuer hath finnes and skales in ye waters, in the seas, or in the riuers, them shall ye eate.

10 Nanso nsumnam a aka no de, mukyi.

But all that haue not finnes nor skales in the seas, or in the riuers, of all that moueth in the waters, and of al liuing things that are in the waters, they shalbe an abomination vnto you.

11 Ɛnsɛ sɛ mowe wɔn nam anaa mode mo nsa ka wɔn afunu; wɔn ho ntew.

They, I say, shalbe an abomination to you: ye shall not eate of their flesh, but shall abhorre their carkeis.

Whatsoeuer hath not fins nor skales in the waters, that shalbe abomination vnto you.

These shall ye haue also in abomination among the foules, they shall not be eaten: for they are an abomination, the eagle, and the goshauke, and the osprey:

And all rauens after their kinde:

The storke also, the heron after his kinde, and the lapwing, and the backe:

20 “‘Mmoawa a wotu a wɔn anan yɛ anan no nso nyɛ mmoa a wɔn ho tew; ɛnsɛ sɛ mowe.

Also euery foule that creepeth and goeth vpon all foure, such shalbe an abomination vnto you.

Of them ye shall eate these, the grashopper after his kinde, and the solean after his kinde, the hargol after his kinde, and the hagab after his kind.

But al other foules that creepe and haue foure feete, they shalbe abomination vnto you.

24 “‘Obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka wɔn funu no mpo ho begu fi kosi anwummere.

For by such ye shalbe polluted: whosoeuer toucheth their carkeis, shalbe vncleane vnto the euening.

25 Obiara a ɔbɛfa bi no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama na ɔtwe ne ho fi nnipa mu kosi anwummere de kyerɛ sɛ ne ho agu fi.

Whosoeuer also beareth of their carkeis, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil euen.

26 “‘Obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka aboa biara a ne tɔte mu mpae nwiei anaa aboa a ompuw nwosaw no, wagu ne ho fi.

Euery beast that hath clawes deuided, and is not clouen footed, nor cheweth the cud, such shalbe vncleane vnto you: euery one that toucheth them, shalbe vncleane.

And he that beareth their carkeis, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntill the euen: for such shalbe vncleane vnto you.

29 “‘Mmoa a wɔwea wɔ fam a wɔn ho ntew no ni: Ahweaa, okisi, ɔketew abusua a wɔsoso,

Also these shalbe vncleane to you amog the things that creepe and moue vpon the earth, the weasell, and the mouse, and the frog, after his kinde:

Also the rat, and the lizard, and the chameleon, and the stellio, and the molle.

These shall be vncleane to you among all that creepe: whosoeuer doeth touch them when they be dead, shalbe vncleane vntil the euen.

32 Biribiara a wɔn funu no bɛka no nso ho begu fi, sɛ ɛyɛ dua, ntama, kuntu, kotoku; biribiara a ɛbɛka no, wɔmfa ngu nsu mu nkosi anwummere. Ɛno akyi no, ɛho bɛtew.

Also whatsoeuer any of the dead carkeises of them doth fall vpon, shalbe vncleane, whether it be vessel of wood, or rayment, or skinne, or sacke: whatsoeuer vessel it be that is occupied, it shalbe put in the water as vncleane vntil the euen, and so be purified.

33 Kuku biara a bi bɛtɔ mu no, nea ɛwɔ mu biara ho begu fi enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ saa kuku no.

But euery earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoeuer is within it shalbe vncleane, and ye shall breake it.

34 Nsu a wɔde bɛhohoro nneɛma a ɛho ntew no ho wɔ kuku no mu no, sɛ bi ka aduan bi a, ebegu aduan no ho fi. Na nsã biara a ɛwɔ kuku a ɛho agu fi no mu no nso ho begu fi saa ara.

Al meate also that shalbe eaten, if any such water come vpon it, shalbe vncleane: and all drinke that shalbe drunke in al such vessels shalbe vncleane.

And euery thing that their carkeis fall vpon, shalbe vncleane: the fornais or the pot shalbe broken: for they are vncleane, and shalbe vncleane vnto you.

Yet the fountaines and welles where there is plentie of water shalbe cleane: but that which toucheth their carkeises shalbe vncleane.

37 Na sɛ aboa no funu ka aduan a wobedua wɔ afum a, ɛho rengu fi,

And if there fal of their dead carkeis vpon any seede, which vseth to be sowe, it shalbe cleane.

38 Nanso sɛ wɔfɔw aba no nsu na funu no tɔ so a, aba no ho begu fi.

But if any water be powred vpon ye seede, and there fal of their dead carkeis thereon, it shall be vncleane vnto you.

39 “‘Sɛ ɔyare bi kum aboa a wɔama wo ho kwan sɛ we ne nam a, obi a ɔde ne nsa bɛka ne funu no no ho begu fi akosi anwummere.

If also any beast, whereof ye may eate, die, he that toucheth the carkeis thereof shall be vncleane vntil the euen.

And he that eateth of the carkeis of it, shall wash his clothes and be vncleane vntil the euen: he also that beareth the carkeis of it, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil the euen.

41 “‘Monnnwe mmoa a wɔwea wɔ fam no nam.

Euery creeping thing therefore that creepeth vpon the earth shalbe an abomination, and not be eaten.

42 Wɔn a wɔtwe wɔn ho ase fa wɔn afuru so ne wɔn a wɔnam wɔn anan anan so nyinaa ka ho. Monnnwe wɔn a wɔwɔ anan bebree na wɔwea no nam nso, efisɛ wɔn ho agu fi.

Whatsoeuer goeth vpon the breast, and whatsoeuer goeth vpon al foure, or that hath many feete among all creeping thinges that creepe vpon the earth, ye shall not eate of them, for they shalbe abomination.

43 Mfa wo ho nka wɔn na wo ho angu fi.

Ye shall not pollute your selues with any thing that creepeth, neither make your selues vncleane with them, neither defile your selues thereby: ye shall not, I say, be defiled by them,

44 Mene Awurade wo Nyankopɔn. Momma mo ho ntew wɔ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa ho na monyɛ kronkron, efisɛ meyɛ kronkron. Eyi nti, mommfa mo nsa nkɔka mmoa a wɔwea wɔ fam yi mu biara mfa ngu mo ho fi.

For I am the Lord your God: be sanctified therefore, and be holy, for I am holy, and defile not your selues with any creeping thing, that creepeth vpon the earth.

45 Mene Awurade a miyii mo fii Misraim de mo bɛyɛɛ mo Nyankopɔn no. Ɛno nti, ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ kronkron, efisɛ meyɛ kronkron.

For I am the Lord that brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to be your God, and that you should be holy, for I am holy.

46 “‘Eyi ne mmara a ɛfa mmoa, nnomaa, nsumnam ne wɔn a wɔwea asase so no ho.

This is the law of beasts, and of foules, and of euery liuing thing that moueth in the waters, and of euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth:

47 Eyi ne nsonoe a ɛda mmoa a wɔn ho tew a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe wɔn nam ne wɔn a wɔn ho ntew a ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔwe wɔn nam wɔ mmoa a wɔwɔ asase so no ntam.’”

That there may be a difference betweene the vncleane and cleane, and betweene the beast that may be eaten, and the beast that ought not to be eaten.
