Things Clean and Unclean
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
Bwana akanena na Musa na Haruni, na kuwaambia,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
Neneni na wana wa Israeli, mkiwaambia, Wanyama hawa ndio wanyama wenye uhai mtakaowala, katika hayawani wote walio juu ya nchi.
Food
3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
Kila mnyama mwenye kwato katika miguu yake, mwenye miguu ya kupasuka kati, mwenye kucheua, katika hayawani, hao ndio mtakaowala.
4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
Pamoja na hayo, wanyama hawa hamtawala katika wale wenye kucheua, na katika wale walio na kwato; ngamia, kwa sababu yuacheua lakini hana kwato, yeye ni najisi kwenu.
5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
Na wibari, kwa sababu yeye hucheua lakini hana kwato, yeye ni najisi kwenu.
6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
Na sungura, kwa sababu hucheua, lakini hana kwato, yeye ni najisi kwenu.
7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
Na nguruwe, kwa sababu yeye anazo kwato, ni mwenye miguu iliyopasuka kati, lakini hacheui, yeye ni najisi kwenu.
8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
Msiile nyama yao, wala msiiguse mizoga yao; hao ni najisi kwenu.
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
Katika hao wote walio ndani ya maji mtakula hawa; kila aliye na mapezi na magamba, ndani ya hayo maji, na ndani ya bahari, na ndani ya mito, mtakula hao.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
Na hao wote wasio na mapezi na magamba, ndani ya bahari, na ndani ya mito, katika hao waendao majini, na katika wote wenye uhai, waliomo majini, hao ni machukizo kwenu,
11 they shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
watakuwa machukizo kwenu; msiile nyama yao, na mizoga yao itakuwa machukizo kwenu.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
Kila asiye na mapezi wala magamba aliye ndani ya maji ni machukizo kwenu.
13 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,
Kisha katika ndege hawa watakuwa ni machukizo kwenu; hawataliwa, ndio machukizo; tai, na furukombe, na kipungu;
14 and the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
na mwewe, na kozi kwa aina zake,
15 every raven after his kind;
na kila kunguru kwa aina zake;
16 and the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
na mbuni, na kirukanjia, na dudumizi, na kipanga kwa aina zake;
17 and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
na bundi, na mnandi, na bundi mkubwa;
18 and the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
na mumbi, na mwari, na mderi;
19 and the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
na korongo, na koikoi kwa aina zake, na hudihudi, na popo.
20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
Tena vyote vitambaavyo vyenye mabawa viendavyo kwa miguu minne, hivi ni machukizo kwenu.
21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
Pamoja na hayo, hivi vitambaavyo vyenye mabawa viendavyo kwa miguu minne ni halali kula, hao walio na miguu mirefu, ya kurukia juu ya nchi;
22 even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
katika hao mna ruhusa kuwala; nzige kwa aina zake, na nzige kuu kwa aina zake, na panzi kwa aina zake, na parare kwa aina zake.
23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
Lakini vyote vitambaavyo vyenye mabawa, vilivyo na miguu minne, ni machukizo kwenu.
24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
Nanyi mtakuwa najisi kwa wanyama hao; kila atakayegusa mzoga wao atakuwa ni najisi hata jioni;
25 And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
na mtu awaye yote atakayechukua cho chote cha mizoga yao atafua nguo zake, naye atakuwa najisi hata jioni.
26 The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
Kila mnyama aliyepasuliwa ukwato, naye hana kwato mbili, wala hacheui, huyo ni najisi kwenu; kila agusaye wanyama hao atakuwa ni najisi.
27 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
Tena kila mnyama aendaye kwa vitanga vyake, katika hao wanyama wote waendao kwa miguu minne, hao ni najisi kwenu; awaye yote atakayegusa mizoga yao, atakuwa ni najisi hata jioni.
28 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
Na huyo atakayechukua mzoga wa wanyama hao atafua nguo zake, naye atakuwa ni najisi hata jioni; hao ni najisi kwenu
29 These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,
Tena katika vitu vile vitambaavyo, vitambaavyo juu ya nchi, hivi ni najisi kwenu; kicheche, na panya, na mjombakaka, kwa aina zake,
30 and the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
na guruguru na kenge, na mjusi na goromoe, na lumbwi.
31 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
Wanyama hao ndio walio najisi kwenu katika hao watambaao; awaye yote atakayewagusa, wakiisha kufa, atakuwa ni najisi hata jioni.
32 And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be , wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.
Tena kitu cho chote, wanyama hao mmojawapo atakachokiangukia, wakiisha kufa, kitakuwa ni najisi; kwamba ni chombo cha mti, au nguo, au ngozi, au gunia, chombo cho chote kitakachoangukiwa, ambacho ni chombo cha kufanyia kazi yo yote, lazima kitiwe ndani ya maji, nacho kitakuwa ni najisi hata jioni; ndipo kitakapokuwa ni safi.
33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
Na kila chombo cha udongo, wanyama hao mmojawapo atakachokiangukia, kila kilichomo ndani yake kitakuwa ni najisi, na hicho chombo kitavunjwa.
34 Of all meat 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.
Kila chakula kilichomo, ambacho ni kuliwa, hicho ambacho maji hutumiwa juu yake, kitakuwa ni najisi; na kila kinyweo ambacho ni cha kunywewa, kilichomo katika chombo kama hicho, kitakuwa ni najisi.
35 And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
Na kila kitu kitakachoangukiwa na kipande cho chote cha mizoga yao kitakuwa najisi; kwamba ni tanuru, au meko ya vyungu, kitavunjwa vipande vipande; ni najisi vitu hivyo, navyo vitakuwa najisi kwenu.
36 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
Pamoja na hayo, chemchemi, au shimo, ambamo maji yakusanyika, vitakuwa ni safi; lakini hicho kitakachogusa mizoga yao kitakuwa ni najisi.
37 And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
Na kipande cho chote cha mzoga kikiwa kimeangukia mbegu za kupandwa zitakazopandwa, zitakuwa safi.
38 But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
Lakini kwamba hizo mbegu zilitiwa maji na cho chote cha mizoga yao kuziangukia, ni najisi kwenu.
39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
Kama akifa mnyama awaye yote, ambaye mna ruhusa kumla, yeye anayeugusa mzoga wake atakuwa najisi hata jioni.
40 And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
Na yeye atakayekula nyama ya mzoga wake atafua nguo zake, naye atakuwa najisi hata jioni; yeye atakayeuchukua mzoga wake atafua nguo zake, naye atakuwa ni najisi hata jioni.
41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
Na kila kitu kitambaacho juu ya nchi ni machukizo; hakitaliwa.
42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
Kila aendaye kwa tumbo lake, na kila aendaye kwa miguu minne, na kila aendaye kwa miguu mingi, maana, ni vyote vyenye kutambaa vitambaavyo juu ya nchi, hamtavila, kwa kuwa ni machukizo.
43 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 thereby.
Msifanye nafsi zenu kuwa ni chukizo kwa kitu cho chote chenye kutambaa, kitambaacho, wala msifanye nafsi zenu kuwa ni najisi kwa vitu hivyo, mkajipatia uchafu kwa hivyo.
44 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.
Kwa kuwa mimi ni Bwana, Mungu wenu; takaseni nafsi zenu basi; iweni watakatifu, kwa kuwa mimi ni Mtakatifu; wala msitie uchafu nafsi zenu kwa kitu kitambaacho cha aina yo yote, kiendacho juu ya nchi.
45 For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
Kwa kuwa mimi ni Bwana niliyewaleta kutoka nchi ya Misri, ili kwamba niwe Mungu wenu; basi mtakuwa watakatifu, kwa kuwa mimi ni Mtakatifu.
46 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:
Hii ndiyo sheria katika hao wanyama, na ndege, na kila kiumbe kilicho hai, kiendacho ndani ya maji, na kila kiumbe kitambaacho juu ya nchi;
47 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.
ili kupambanua kati ya hao walio najisi na hao walio safi, na kati ya kiumbe kilicho hai ambacho chaliwa, na hicho kilicho hai ambacho hakiliwi.
