⁴²कुनै पनि प्राणी जो भुइँमा आफ्नो पेटले सुल्कन्छ अथवा चार अथवा धेरै खुट्टाले घस्रन्छ त्यस्तो प्राणी तिमीहरूले खानु हुँदैन। तिनीहरूलाई घृणा गर्नुपर्छ।

⁴²Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

⁴³यस्ता घस्रने प्राणीबाट तिमीहरू कुनै पनि परिस्थितिमा अशुद्ध नहुनु। यिनीहरूलाई छोएर अशुद्ध नबन।

⁴³You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby.

⁴⁴किनभने म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूको परमेश्वर हुँ। तिमीहरूले आफूलाई पवित्र राख्नु पर्छ। तिमीहरू पवित्र होऊ किनभने म पवित्र छु। तिमीहरू भूइँमा प्राणीहरूद्वारा अशुद्ध हुनु हुँदैन

⁴⁴For I am Yahweh your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth.

⁴⁵म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ जसले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुनका निम्ति बाहिर ल्याएँ, तिमीहरू पवित्र बन किनभने म पवित्र छु।”

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

⁴⁶पशु, पंक्षी, जलचर अनि भूइँमा घस्रने सबै प्राणीहरूका निम्ति विधिहरू यी नै हुन्।

⁴⁶“‘This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth,

⁴⁷पवित्र र अपवित्र र पशुहरूमा मासु खानु हुने र नहुने छुट्याउने नियम यी नै हुन्।”

⁴⁷to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.’”
