Levítico 11

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, 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. 3 Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.

4 "‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you. 5 The hyrax,*11:5 or rock badger, or cony because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you. 6 The hare, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you. 7 The pig, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. 8 You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.

9 "‘You may eat of all these that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat. 10 All that don’t have fins and scales in the seas and rivers, all that move in the waters, and all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you, 11 and you shall detest them. You shall not eat of their meat, and you shall detest their carcasses. 12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters is an abomination to you.

13 "‘You shall detest these among the birds; they shall not be eaten because they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, 14 the red kite, any kind of black kite, 15 any kind of raven, 16 the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, 17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, 18 the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, 19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

20 "‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you. 21 Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have long, jointed legs for hopping on the earth. 22 Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper. 23 But all winged creeping things which have four feet are an abomination to you.

24 "‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening. 25 Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

26 "‘Every animal which has a split hoof that isn’t completely divided, or doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean. 27 Whatever 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. 28 He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.

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, 30 the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon. 31 These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening. 32 Anything they fall on when they are dead 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. 33 Every earthen vessel into which any of them falls and all that is in it shall be unclean. You shall break it. 34 All food which may be eaten which is soaked in water shall be unclean. All drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. 35 Everything 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. 36 Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is gathered shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean. 37 If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean. 38 But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.

39 "‘If any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening. 40 He 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.

41 "‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten. 42 Whatever 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. 43 You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps. You shall not make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled by them. 44 For I am Yahweh your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth. 45 For 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.

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, 47 to 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.’"

Te Kai Poke me te Pokekore

1 Ā, i kōrero a Ihowā ki a Mohi rāua ko Ārona, i mea ki a rāua: 2 "Kōrero ki ngā tama a Īharaira, mea atu: Ko ngā kīrehe ēnei e kainga e koutou o ngā kararehe katoa i runga i te whenua. 3 Ko ngā mea katoa i roto i ngā kararehe e tararua ana te matimati, e tino mawehe ana hoki te tītorehanga, e whakahoki ake ana hoki i te kai, ko tēnā tā koutou e kai ai.

4 "Otiia, kaua e kainga ēnei o ngā mea e whakahoki ake ana i te kai, o ngā mea hoki e tararua ana te matimati: ko te kāmera, nō te mea e whakahoki ake ana anō ia i te kai, otiia kāhore i tararua te matimati; hei mea poke tēnā ki a koutou. 5 Me te koni, nō te mea e whakahoki ake ana anō ia i te kai, otiia kāhore i tararua te matimati; hei mea poke ia ki a koutou. 6 Me te hea, nō te mea e whakahoki ake ana anō ia i te kai, otiia kāhore i tararua te matimati; hei mea poke ia ki a koutou. 7 Me te poaka, ahakoa e tararua ana te matimati, e tino mawehe ana hoki te tītorehanga, kāhore e whakahokia ake te kai; hei mea poke ia ki a koutou. 8 Kaua e kainga tētahi wāhi o ō rātou kikokiko, kaua anō e pā ki ō rātou tinana mate; hei poke ēnā ki a koutou.

9 "Ko ēnei ā koutou e kai ai o ngā mea katoa o roto o ngā wai. Ko ngā mea katoa o ngā wai, o ngā moana, o ngā awa, he tara ō rātou, he unahi, ko ēnā ā koutou e kai ai. 10 Ā, ko ngā mea katoa kāhore he tara, kāhore he unahi, o ngā moana, o ngā awa, o roto o ngā mea katoa e tere ana i ngā wai, o ngā mea ora katoa o ngā wai; hei mea whakarihariha ēnā ki a koutou. 11 Inā, hei mea whakarihariha anō ēnā ki a koutou; kei kainga tētahi wāhi o ō rātou kikokiko e koutou, ā, me whakarihariha atu ki ō rātou tinana mate. 12 Ko ngā mea katoa o ngā wai kāhore he tara, kāhore he unahi, hei mea whakarihariha ēnā ki a koutou.

13 "Ko ēnei anō o ngā manu ā koutou e whakarihariha ai; e kore e kainga, he whakarihariha hoki: ko te ēkara, ko te wāwāhi-iwi, ko te ahipare, 14 ko te whatura, ko te kāiaia, me ngā mea pērā; 15 ko ngā raweni katoa, me ngā mea pērā; 16 me te otereti, me te kāhu pō, me te koekoeā, me te kāhu, me ngā mea pērā, 17 me te ruru nohinohi, me te kawau, me te ruru nui, 18 me te wani, me te perikana, me te kia ēkara, 19 me te tāka, me te heroni, me ngā mea pērā, me te hupou, me te pekapeka.

20 "Ko ngā mea ngōkingōki katoa e rere ā-manu ana, e whā ngā waewae hei haere, me whakarihariha atu e koutou. 21 Otiia, me kai anō ēnei e koutou o ngā mea ngōkingōki katoa e rere ā-manu ana, e whā nei ngā waewae hei haere, ā, he waewae anō ō rātou kei runga ake i ngā raparapa, hei mokowhiti i runga i te whenua. 22 Ko ēnei o rātou e kainga e koutou; ko te māwhitiwhiti, me ngā mea e rite ana ki a ia, me te tātarakihi, me ngā mea e rite ana ki a ia, me te pākauroharoha, me ngā mea e rite ana ki a ia, me te koeke, me ngā mea e rite ana ki a ia. 23 Ko ngā mea ngōkingōki kē atu ia, ko ngā mea rere ā-manu, e whā nei ō rātou waewae, me whakarihariha atu e koutou."

He Kararehe Poke

24 "He mea hoki ēnei e poke ai koutou; ki te pā tētahi ki ō rātou tinana mate, ka poke ā ahiahi noa. 25 Ā, ki te mauria e te tangata tētahi wāhi o ō rātou tinana mate, me horoi e ia ōna kākahu, ka poke hoki ia ā ahiahi noa.

26 "Ko ngā kararehe katoa e tararua ana te matimati, ā, kāhore anō i tino mawehe te tītorehanga, kāhore rānei e whakahoki ake i te kai, hei mea poke ki a koutou; ka poke ngā tāngata katoa e pā ana ki a rātou. 27 Nā, ko ngā mea katoa he tū ā-ringaringa nei ngā waewae e haere ai rātou, o roto o ngā kīrehe katoa e whā nei ngā waewae hei haere, hei mea poke ēnā ki a koutou; ki te pā tētahi ki ō rātou tinana mate, ka poke ia ā ahiahi noa. 28 Ā, ki te mauria e tētahi te tinana mate o tētahi o rātou, me horoi e ia ōna kākahu, ka poke hoki ia ā ahiahi noa; kia poke ēnā ki a koutou.

29 "Ka poke anō hoki ēnei ki a koutou o ngā mea ngōkingōki katoa e ngōkingōki ana i runga i te whenua: ko te wīhara, ko te kiore, me te tuatara, me ngā mea e rite ana ki a ia, 30 me te koka, me te korokotaera, me te mokomoko, me te moeone, me te kamiriona. 31 Kia poke ēnei ki a koutou o ngā mea ngōkingōki katoa; ki te pā atu tētahi ki a rātou, ina mate, ka poke ia ā ahiahi noa. 32 Ā, ki te taka tētahi o rātou, ina mate, ki runga ki tētahi mea, ka poke taua mea; ahakoa he oko rākau, he mea kākahu, hiako rānei, pēke rānei; ahakoa he oko aha rānei, aha rānei, e meatia ai tētahi mea, me maka ki te wai, ā, ka poke ā ahiahi noa; kātahi ka kore te poke. 33 Ā, ki te taka tētahi o rātou ki roto ki tētahi oko oneone, ahakoa he aha rānei, he aha rānei, kei roto, kua poke, ā, me wāhi. 34 Ki te maringi taua wai ki runga ki tētahi o ngā kai e kainga ana, ka poke; ka poke anō hoki ngā wai katoa e inumia ana i roto i aua oko katoa. 35 Ka poke anō hoki ngā mea katoa kua taka nei tētahi wāhi o ō rātou tinana mate ki runga; ahakoa oumu, tūranga kōhua rānei, me wāhi kia ngotangota; he mea poke hoki, ā, ka poke anō ki a koutou. 36 Otiia ki te mea he puna, he poka rānei, he nui nei te wai, kāhore ōna poke; ki te pā ia tētahi ki ō rātou tinana mate, ka poke. 37 Ki te taka anō hoki tētahi wāhi o ō rātou tinana mate ki ngā purapura e whakatōkia ana, e kore e poke. 38 Otiia, ki te mea kua oti te purapura te mea ki te wai, ā, ka taka tētahi wāhi o ō rātou tinana mate ki runga, ka poke ēnā ki a koutou.

39 "Ā, ki te mate māori tētahi o ngā kararehe e kainga ana e koutou; ki te pā tētahi ki tōna tinana mate, ka poke ia ā ahiahi noa. 40 Ā, ki te kai tētahi i tētahi wāhi o tōna tinana, me horoi e ia ōna kākahu, ka poke hoki ia ā ahiahi noa; ki te mauria hoki e tētahi tōna tinana, me horoi e ia ōna kākahu, ka poke hoki ia ā ahiahi noa.

41 "Hei mea whakarihariha ngā mea ngōkingōki katoa e ngōkingōki ana i runga i te whenua; e kore e kainga. 42 Ko ngā mea katoa ko te kōpū hei haere, me ngā mea katoa ko taua tū haere o ngā wae e whā, arā ko ngā mea katoa he maha ngā waewae, i roto i ngā mea ngōki katoa e ngōki nei i runga i te whenua, kaua ēnā e kainga; he mea whakarihariha hoki. 43 Kei waiho tētahi mea ngōkingōki, hei take e whakariharihangia ai koutou, hei mea rānei e poke ai, e noa ai. 44 Nō te mea hoki ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua; mō reira me whakatapu koutou e koutou, ā, ka tapu; he tapu hoki ahau; kaua anō hoki e whakapokea koutou ki tētahi mea ngōkingōki e ngōkingōki ana i runga i te whenua. 45 Ko Ihowā hoki ahau, i kawe mai nei i a koutou i te whenua o Īhipa, kia waiho ai ahau hei Atua mō koutou; mō reira kia tapu koutou, he tapu hoki ahau.

46 "Ko te ture tēnei mō te kararehe, mō te manu, mō ngā mea ora katoa e tere ana i ngā wai, mō ngā mea katoa hoki e ngōki ana i runga i te whenua. 47 Kia wehea ai te poke me te pokekore, te kararehe e kainga me te kararehe e kore e kainga."
