1Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
1 Rabbi salaŋ Musa da Haruna se ka ne:
2“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
2 «Araŋ ma salaŋ Israyla izey se ka ne: Fundikooney kaŋ yaŋ araŋ ga hin ka ŋwa ndunnya almaney kulu ra neeya:
3Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.
3 Hay kulu almaney ra kaŋ ce camsa ga fay, a fay hala bindo ra, kaŋ ga gooye mo, nga no araŋ ga hin ka ŋwa.
4“‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.
4 Amma afooyaŋ neeya kaŋ araŋ si hin ka ŋwa, baa i ga gooye, wala i ce camsey fay bindo ra, danga: yo, zama baa kaŋ a ga gooye, kulu nda yaadin a ce camsa mana fay bindo ra. A ŋwaayaŋ ga harram araŋ se.
5The coney, because he chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.
5 Tondi boŋ hansi mo, zama a ga gooye, amma a ce camsa mana fay. A ga harram araŋ se.
6The hare, because she chews the cud but doesn’t part the hoof, she is unclean to you.
6 Woodin banda, tobay ga harram araŋ se, zama a ga gooye, amma a ce camsa mana fay.
7The pig, because he has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, he is unclean to you.
7 Birnya mo gonda ce camse kaŋ fay bindo ra, amma a si gooye. A ga harram araŋ se.
8Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.
8 Araŋ ma s'i hamey ŋwa, araŋ ma si lamba i jifey gaa mo. I ga harram araŋ se.
9“‘These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.
9 Fundikooney kaŋ go hari ra kaŋ araŋ ga hin ka ŋwa mo neeya: hari ra fundikooni kulu kaŋ gonda fatayaŋ, kaŋ gonda kobtoyaŋ mo, d'a go bangu ra wala teeku ra, wala gooru ra.
10All that don’t have fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,
10 Amma hari ham kulu kaŋ sinda fata nda kobto mo, kaŋ go teeku ra, wala gooru ra, wala bangu ra, hay kulu kaŋ ga nyooti hari ra, danga fundikooni kulu kaŋ go hari ra kaŋ sinda fata nda kobto, ngey wo fanta hariyaŋ no araŋ se.
11and you detest them. You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses.
11 I ga ciya araŋ se fanta hari. Wa si i hamey ŋwa. I jifey mo ma ciya araŋ se fanta hariyaŋ.
12Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you.
12 Hay kulu kaŋ gonda fundi hari ra, da manti a gonda fatayaŋ da kobtoyaŋ no, kulu fanta hariyaŋ no araŋ se.
13“‘These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture,
13 Woone yaŋ mo araŋ m'i fanta curey ra kaŋ yaŋ si ŋwa, zama fanta hariyaŋ no, danga zeeban da kaaw da gaadogo bi,
14and the red kite, any kind of black kite,
14 da gabu, da gabu-ce-daŋ-guusu, d'i dumi kulu.
15any kind of raven,
15 Woodin banda gaaru bi da nga dumo kulu,
16the horned owl, the screech owl, and the gull, any kind of hawk,
16 da taatagay da jaamaaje, da tuutu, da gabu dumi kulu.
17the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
17 Kuku kayna mo, da kaaray wande, da kuku bi,
18the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
18 da koysa kwaaray, da bangu farka, da jeer'ize gabu.
19the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
19 Waaliya mo, da koysa nda nga dumey, da jillay da cicibo.
20“‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.
20 Fatakoy kulu kaŋ gonda ce taaci mo ga ciya araŋ se fanta hariyaŋ.
21Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth.
21 Kulu nda yaadin araŋ ga hin ka ŋwa fatakoyey ra wo kaŋ yaŋ gonda ce kaŋ gaa i ga dira, danga wo kaŋ yaŋ gonda kambu, i ga sar nd'a mo laabo boŋ.
22Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.
22 Wo kaŋ yaŋ araŋ ga hin ka ŋwa ga ti: do bi da nga dumey, da do ciray da nga dumey, da gurum-gurum da nga dumey, da maaram fanda da nga dumey.
23But all winged creeping things which have four feet, are an abomination to you.
23 Amma takahari fatakoy cindey kaŋ yaŋ gonda ce taaci kulu ga ciya fanta hariyaŋ araŋ se.
24“‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
24 I g'araŋ ciya harram. Danga boro kaŋ lamba i jifey gaa ga harram kala wiciri kambu.
25Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
25 Boro kaŋ g'i jifa jare mo ma nga bankaaray nyuna. A ga harram kala wiciri kambu.
26“‘Every animal which parts the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
26 Alman kulu kaŋ ce camsa mana fay bindo ra, wo kaŋ si gooye mo ga harram araŋ se. Boro kulu kaŋ lamba i gaa ga harram.
27Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
27 Woodin banda, hay kulu kaŋ ga dira nga ce taamo gaa, ce-taaci-koyey kulu ra ga harram araŋ se. Boro kaŋ lamba i jifey gaa ga harram kala wiciri kambu.
28He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.
28 Boro kaŋ n'i jifey jare mo ma nga bankaarayey nyuna. A ga ciya harram kala wiciri kambu. I ga harram araŋ se.
29“‘These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,
29 Woone yaŋ mo ga ti harram hari ganda birantey ra, kaŋ yaŋ ga ganda biri ka candi laabu boŋ, danga: Bugadari, da caŋ, da komni nda nga dumey,
30the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.
30 da cita, da baw, da danfane, da mollo, da daame.
31These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
31 Woodin yaŋ no ga harram araŋ se ganda birantey ra. D'i bu mo, boro kulu kaŋ lamba i gaa ga harram kala wiciri kambu.
32On whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it will be clean.
32 Hay kulu mo kaŋ boŋ i buukwa kaŋ ga harram, da jinay me hayante no kaŋ i te nda bundu, wala bankaaray no, wala kuuru, wala foolo me hayante jinay kulu kaŋ no, kaŋ boro ga goy fo te d'a. Kala boro m'a bakandi hari ra. A ga harram kala wiciri kambu. Woodin banda a ga ye ka hanan.
33Every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.
33 Amma botogo jinay kulu kaŋ ra i afo kaŋ, haŋ kaŋ no kulu ga harram. Kal i m'i bagu.
34All food which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
34 }waari kulu kaŋ gaa a haro say ga harram. Haŋyaŋ hari kaŋ go foobu dumi kulu ra ga harram.
35Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
35 Hay kulu mo kaŋ boŋ i buukwa kaŋ ga harram, da feema no wala hinayaŋ kusu no. I m'a bagu ka te car-cambu. I ga harram, i ma ciya harram hari araŋ se.
36Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is a gathered shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
36 Kulu nda yaadin, hari-mo wala bangu, wala guusu kulu kaŋ ra hari ga margu, ngey wo ga ciya hanante yaŋ. Amma boro kaŋ lamba harram hari buukwa gaa ga harram.
37If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
37 D'i buukwa kaŋ dum'ize masangu ra kaŋ boro ga duma, woodin ga hanan.
38But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
38 Amma d'i buukwa kaŋ masangu ra kaŋ go hari ra ga hiiji, nga wo ga harram araŋ se.
39“‘If any animal, of which you may eat, dies; he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
39 Alman kulu kaŋ hamo ga ŋwa, d'a bu, boro kaŋ lamb'a jifa gaa ga harram kala wiciri kambu.
40He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
40 Boro mo kaŋ n'a hamo ŋwa ma nga bankaarayey nyuna. A ga harram kala wiciri kambu. Koyne, boro kaŋ g'a jifa jare, kal a ma nga bankaarayey nyuna. A ga harram kala wiciri kambu.
41“‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.
41 Ganda birante kulu kaŋ ga ganda biri ka dira laabo boŋ ya fanta hari no; a si ŋwa.
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.
42 Hay kulu kaŋ ga gaalum, wala kaŋ ga dira ce taaci boŋ care banda, da hay kulu mo kaŋ gonda ce boobo, danga ganda birante kulu kaŋ ga dira ka ganda biri laabo boŋ, araŋ ma s'i ŋwa. Fanta hariyaŋ no.
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.
43 Wa si araŋ boŋ ciya fanta hari yaŋ ganda birante kulu kaŋ ga dira ganda gaa. Araŋ ma si harram i do kaŋ ga naŋ araŋ ma ziibi.
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.
44 Zama ay ya Rabbi no, araŋ Irikoyo. Woodin sabbay se araŋ m'araŋ boŋ fay waani ka goro ihannoyaŋ, zama ay ya Hananyankoy no. A binde, araŋ ma si ziibi nda ganda birante dumi kulu kaŋ ga nyooti laabo boŋ.
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.
45 Zama ay ya Rabbi no kaŋ n'araŋ fattandi araŋ ma fun Misira laabo ra, hal ay ma ciya araŋ se Irikoy. Woodin sabbay se no araŋ ma goro ihannoyaŋ zama ay ya Hananyankoy no.
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,
46 Woodin no ga ti asariya* alman, da curo, da fundikooni kulu kaŋ ga nyooti hari ra boŋ, da takahari kulu mo kaŋ ga ganda biri laabo boŋ ka candi.
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.’”
47 Sanney wo no ga fayanka harram da halal game ra, danga fundikooni kaŋ ga ŋwa da fundikooni kaŋ si ŋwa game ra.»
