¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi naAroni, akati kwavari,

²Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat of all the beasts which are on the earth.

²Taura navana valsiraeri, muti, Ndizvo zvipenyu zvamungadya pakati pemhuka dzose dziri panyika:

³Whatever hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts -- that shall ye eat.

³Zvose pakati pemhuka zvinamahwanda akaparadzana, kana zvinetsoka dzakaparadzana, zvinodzeya, mungazvidya.

⁴Only these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs: the camel, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you;

⁴Asi pakati pezvinodzeya, kana pakati pezvinamahwanda akaparadzana, regai kudya kamera, nekuti inodzeya, asi haina mahwanda akaparadzana; inofanira kuva chinhu chisina kunaka kwamuri;

⁵and the rock-badger, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you;

⁵nembira, nekuti inodzeya, asi haina mahwanda akaparadzana; inofanira kuva chinhu chisina kunaka kwamuri.

⁶and the hare, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you;

⁶Netsuro, nekuti inodzeya, asi haina mahwanda akaparadzana; inofanira kuva chinhu chisina kunaka kwamuri.

⁷and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud -- it shall be unclean unto you.

⁷Nenguruve, nekuti ine tsoka dzakaparadzana, asi haidzeyi; inofanira kuva chinhu chisina kunaka kwamuri.

⁸Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch: they shall be unclean unto you.

⁸Regai kudya nyama yazvo, kana zvitunha zvazvo; zvinofanira kuva zvisina kunaka kwamuri.

⁹These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in waters, in seas and in rivers, these shall ye eat;

⁹Ndizvo zvamungadya kune zvose zviri mumvura: Zvose zviri mumvura, mumakungwa nomunzizi, zvine zvimbi namakwande, ndizvo zvamungadya.

¹⁰but all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living soul which is in the waters -- they shall be an abomination unto you.

¹⁰Asi zvose zvisina zvimbi namakwande zviri mumakungwa nomunzizi, pazvose zvinopfakanyika mumvura, pazvose zvipenyu zviri mumvura, zvinofanira kuva zvinonyangadza kwamuri.

¹¹They shall be even an abomination unto you: of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase ye shall have in abomination.

¹¹Ngazvive zvinonyangadza kwamuri; musadya nyama yazvo, nezvitunha zvazvo zvinofanira kuva chinhu chinonyangadza kwamuri.

¹²Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that shall be an abomination unto you.

¹²Zvose zviri mumvura zvisina zvimbi namakwande zvinofanira kuva zvinonyangadza kwamuri.

¹³And these shall ye have in abomination of the fowls; they shall not be eaten; an abomination shall they be: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,

¹³Izvi pakati peshiri zvinofanira kuva zvinonyangadza kwamuri, ngazvirege kudyiwa, ngazvive zvinonyangadza: Gora guru, negondo guru, nenyamudzura;

¹⁴and the falcon, and the kite, after its kind;

²⁰Every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four shall be an abomination unto you.

²⁰Zvose zvinamapapiro zvichikambaira, zvichifamba namakumbo mana, zvinofanira kuva zvinhu zvinonyangadza kwamuri.

²¹Yet these shall ye eat of every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four: those which have legs above their feet with which to leap upon the earth.

²¹Asi izvi mungadya pakati pezvose zvinamapapiro zvichikambaira, zvichifamba namakumbo mana, zvinamakumbo pamusoro petsoka dzazvo azvinokwakuka nawo panyika.

²²These shall ye eat of them: the arbeh after its kind, and the solam after its kind, and the hargol after its kind, and the hargab after its kind.

²²Ndizvo zvamungadya pakati pazvo: Marudzi ose emhashu, namarudzi ose echinjiki, namarudzi ebambamukota, namarudzi egwatakwata.

²³But every winged crawling thing that hath four feet shall be an abomination unto you.

²³Asi zvose zvinamapapiro zvinokambaira zvinamakumbo mana, zvinofanira kuva zvinonyangadza kwamuri.

²⁴And by these ye shall make yourselves unclean; whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

²⁴Muchasvibiswa nezvizvi: Ani naani unobata zvitunha zvazvo uchava usina kunaka kusvikira madeko.

²⁵And whoever carrieth [ought] of their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.

²⁵Ani naani wakatakura chitunha chazvo, anofanira kusuka nguvo dzake, ave usina kunaka kusvikira madeko.

²⁶Every beast that hath cloven hoofs, but not feet quite split open, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

²⁶Mhuka dzose dzinamahwanda akaparadzana, asi dzisina tsoka dzakaparadzana, dzisingadzeyi, zvinofanira kuva zvisakanaka kwamuri; mumwe nomumwe unozvibata uchava usina kunaka.

²⁷And whatever goeth on its paws, among all manner of beasts that go upon all four, those are unclean unto you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

²⁷Zvose zvinofamba netsoka dzakapfava pakati pemhuka dzose dzinofamba namakumbo mana, zvinofanira kuva zvisakanaka kwamuri; ani naani unobata zvitunha zvazvo uchava usina kunaka kusvikira madeko.

²⁸And he that carrieth their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: they shall be unclean unto you.

²⁸Munhu unotakura zvitunha zvazvo ngaasuke nguvo dzake, ave usina kunaka kusvikira madeko; zvinofanira kuva zvisakanaka kwamuri.

²⁹And these shall be unclean unto you among the crawling things which crawl on the earth: the mole, and the field-mouse, and the lizard, after its kind;

²⁹Zvisakanaka kwamuri pakati pezvinokambaira, zvinokambaira panyika ndizvo: Chidembo, negonzo, namarudzi egwavava,

³⁰and the groaning lizard, and the great red lizard, and the climbing lizard, and the chomet, and the chameleon.

³⁰nechipfira, nedzvinyu, negoroodyo, nedhambakura, norwaivhi.

³¹These shall be unclean unto you among all that crawl: whoever toucheth them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.

³¹Izvozvo zvinofanira kuva zvisakanaka kwamuri pakati pezvose zvinokambaira; ani naani unozvibata kana zvakafa uchava usina kunaka kusvikira madeko.

³²And on whatever any of them when they are dead doth fall, it shall be unclean; all vessels of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith work is done -- it shall be put into water, and be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.

³²Chinhu chipi nechipi chinowirwa nechimwe chazvo kana chakafa, chichava chisina kunaka; kana iri nhumbi yamatanda, kana nguvo, kana debwe, kana hombodo, kana iri nhumbi ipi neipi inobatwa basa nayo, inofanira kunyikwa mumvura, ive isina kunaka kusvikira madeko; ipapo ichava yakanaka.

³³And every earthen vessel into which [any] of them falleth -- whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.

³³Hari imwe neimwe yevhu yawirwa mukati mayo nechimwe chazvo, zvose zviri mukati mayo zvinofanira kuva zvisina kunaka, naiyo munofanira kuiputsa.

³⁴All food that is eaten on which [such] water hath come shall be unclean; and all drink that is drunk shall be unclean, in every [such] vessel.

³⁴Zvokudya zvose zvirimo zvingadyiwa, kana zvadirwa mvura, zvinofanira kuva zvisina kunaka; nezvinomwiwa zvose zviri muhari iyo zvinofanira kuva zvisina kunaka.

³⁵And everything where upon [any part] of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; oven and hearth shall be broken down: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.

³⁵Zvose zvinowirwa nechitunha chazvo, zvichava zvisina kunaka, kana choto, kana chikuva chehari, zvinofanira kuputswa chose; hazvina kunaka, ngazvive zvisina kunaka kwamuri.

³⁶Nevertheless, a spring or a well, a quantity of water, shall be clean. But he that toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

³⁶Asi tsime kana dziva makachengetwa mvura, zvichava zvakanaka; asi chinogunzva chitunha chazvo chichava chisina kunaka, kwamuri.

³⁷And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing-seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean;

³⁷Kana chitunha chechimwe chazvo chikawira pamusoro pembeu yakanga yakushwa, ichava yakanaka.

³⁸but if water have been put on the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.

³⁸Asi kana mbeu ikadirwa mvura, chitunha chechimwe chazvo chakwira pamusoro payo, inofanira kuva isina kunaka kwamuri.

³⁹And if any beast which is to you for food die, he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.

³⁹Kana mhuka ipi neipi ingadyiwa, ikafa, ani naani unogunzva chitunha chayo uchava usina kunaka kusvikira madeko.

⁴⁰And he that eateth of its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: he also that carrieth its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.

⁴⁰Unodya chitunha chayo ngaasuke nguvo dzake, ave usina kunaka kusvikira madeko; nomunhu unotakura chitunha chayo ngaasuke nguvo dzake, ave usina kunaka kusvikira madeko.

⁴¹And every crawling thing which crawleth on the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

⁴¹Zvose zvinokambaira, zvinokambaira panyika, zvinofanira kuva zvinonyangadza, hazvifaniri kudyiwa.

⁴²Whatever goeth on the belly, and whatever goeth on all four, and all that have a great many feet, of every manner of crawling thing which crawleth on the earth -- these ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

⁴²Zvose zvinofamba nedumbu, uye zvose zvinofamba namakumbo mana, uye zvose zvinofamba namakumbo mazhinji, zvose zvinokambaira, zvinokambaira panyika, hamufaniri kuzvidya; nekuti zvinonyangadza.

⁴³Ye shall not make yourselves abominable through any crawling thing which crawleth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

⁴³Musazviita vanonyangadza nechinokambaira chipi nechipi, musazviita vasina kunaka nazvo, kuti murege kusvibiswa nazvo.

⁴⁴For I am Jehovah your God; and ye shall hallow yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean through any manner of crawling thing which creepeth on the earth.

⁴⁴Nekuti ndini Jehovha, Mwari wenyu; naizvozvo zvitsaurei, muve vatsvene, nekuti ini ndiri mutsvene; musazvisvibisa nechinokambaira chipi nechipi chinopfakanyika panyika.

⁴⁵For I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

⁴⁵Nekuti ndini Jehovha wakakubudisai panyika yeEgipita, kuti ndive Mwari wenyu; naizvozvo muve vatsvene, nekuti ini ndiri mutsvene.

⁴⁶This is the law of cattle, and of fowl, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, and of every soul that crawleth on the earth;

⁴⁶Ndiwo murayiro wemhuka, noweshiri, nowezvipenyu zvose zvinopfakanyika mumvura, nezvisikwa zvose zvinokambaira panyika;

⁴⁷to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that is to be eaten and the beast that is not to be eaten.

⁴⁷kuti mutsaure pakati pezvisakanaka nezvakanaka, napakati pezvipenyu zvingadyiwa nezvipenyu zvisingadyiwi.
