Leviticus 11
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them:
1Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua,
2Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
2Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Ko eni ʻae ngaahi manu ʻaia temou kai ʻi he ngaahi manu ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.
3Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is wholly cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.
3ʻIlonga ʻaia ʻi he fanga manu ʻoku mavaeua hono pesipesi, pea vaʻe mafahi, pea ʻoku toe lamulamu ʻangaua ʻene kai, temou kai ia.
4Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that only chew the cud, or of them that only part the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.
4Ka ko e niʻihi ʻi ai ʻoku lamu ʻangaua ʻene kai, mo vaeua ʻae vaʻe ʻe ʻikai temou kai: ʻo hangē ko e kāmeli, koeʻuhi ʻoku ne toe lamu ʻene kai, ka ʻoku ʻikai mavahevahe ʻae vaʻe: ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
5And the rock-badger, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.
5Pea mo e koni, koeʻuhi ʻoku ne toe lamu ʻene maʻanga, ka ʻoku ʻikai mavaeua ʻae vaʻe; ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
6And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you.
6Pea ko e hea, koeʻuhi ʻoku ne toe lamu ʻene kai, ka ʻoku ʻikai mavaeua hono pesipesi: ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
7And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.
7Pea ko e puaka, ʻoku mavahevahe hono pesipesi, pea vaʻe mafahi, ka ʻoku ʻikai fakahake ʻene kai ʻo toe lamu ia; ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
8Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you.
8ʻOua naʻa mou kai honau sino, pe ala ki honau kakano; ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
9These may 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 may ye eat.
9Ko eni ia temou kai ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi vai: ʻilonga ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he vai ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae kaponga, mo e ʻuno, ʻi he tahi mo e ngaahi vaitafe, ko ia te mou kai.
10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are a detestable thing unto you,
10Pea ko e meʻa ʻi tahi, pea ʻi he ngaahi vaitafe, ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻae kaponga mo e ʻuno, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi he vai, pe ko ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku moʻui ʻi he ngaahi vai, ko e meʻa kovi ia kiate kimoutolu.
11and they shall be a detestable thing unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in detestation.
11ʻIo, ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e meʻa fakalielia: ʻoua naʻa mou kai honau sino, pea ko honau kakano ko e meʻa fakalielia ia kiate kimoutolu.
12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is a detestable thing unto you.
12ʻIlonga ʻaia ʻi he ngaahi vai ʻoku ʻikai hano kaponga pe ʻuno, ke ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e meʻa fakalielia.
13And these ye shall have in detestation among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are a detestable thing: the great vulture, and the bearded vulture, and the ospray;
13¶ Pea ko eni ia ʻi he ngaahi manu kapakau ʻe tapu kiate kimoutolu; ʻe ʻikai temou kai ia, he ko e meʻa fakalielia ia kiate kimoutolu: ko e ʻikale, mo e ʻosifalesi, mo e ʻosipale,
14and the kite, and the falcon after its kinds;
14Mo e volita, mo e kaite ʻi hona faʻahinga.
15every raven after its kinds;
15ʻAe leveni kotoa pē ʻi honau faʻahinga,
16and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kinds;
16Mo e ʻositalesi, mo e taiseni ʻoe poʻuli, mo e koku, mo e taiseni ʻi hono faʻahinga,
17and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl;
17Mo e lulu iiki, mo e komolaniti, mo e lulu lahi,
18and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the carrion-vulture;
18Mo e suani, mo e lofa, mo e Lahami,
19and the stork, and the heron after its kinds, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
19Mo e sitoaka, mo e motuku ʻi hono faʻahinga, mo e lapiuingi, mo e peka.
20All winged swarming things that go upon all fours are a detestable thing unto you.
20Ko e ngaahi manu kapakau ʻoku totolo, ʻo ʻalu ʻi honau vaʻe, ko e meʻa fakalielia ia kiate kimoutolu.
21Yet these may ye eat of all winged swarming things that go upon all fours, which have jointed legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth;
21Ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ni temou kai ʻi he ngaahi meʻa puna ʻoku totolo, ʻo ʻalu ʻi hono vaʻe, ʻaia ʻoku maʻu ʻae vaʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi honau vaʻe, ke hopo ʻaki ʻi he kelekele;
22even these of them ye may eat: the locust after its kinds, and the bald locust after its kinds, and the cricket after its kinds, and the grasshopper after its kinds.
22ʻIo, ko eni ia ʻi ai temou kai; ko e heʻe lalahi ʻi honau faʻahinga, ko e solami ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e kakoli ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e kakapi ʻi honau faʻahinga:
23But all winged swarming things, which have four feet, are a detestable thing unto you.
23Ka ko e ngaahi manupuna kotoa pē ʻoku totolo, ʻaia ʻoku veʻe fā: ko e meʻa fakalielia ia kiate kimoutolu.
24And by these ye shall become unclean; whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until even.
24Pea temou taʻemaʻa koeʻuhi ko ia he ko ia ʻe ala ki honau ʻangaʻanga ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
25And whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
25Pea ko ia ʻe toʻo ha potu ʻo honau sino ʻe fō ʻe ia hono ngaahi kofu, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
26Every beast which parteth the hoof, but is not cloven footed, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you; every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
26Ko e sino ʻoe manu kotoa pē ʻoku vahe ua hono pesipesi ka ʻoku ʻikai vaʻe mafahifahi, pe toe lamu ʻene kai, ʻoku nau taʻemaʻa kiate kimoutolu: ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ala ki ai ʻe taʻemaʻa ia.
27And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean unto you; whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even.
27Pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻi he ngaahi manu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi hono ʻaofivaʻe ʻo fakaveʻe fā; ʻoku nau taʻemaʻa kiate kimoutolu: ko ia ʻoku ala ki honau sino ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
28And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even; they are unclean unto you.
28Pea ko ia ʻoku ne fua honau sino ʻe fō ʻe ia hono ngaahi kofu, pea taʻemaʻa ia ke ʻoua ke efiafi: ʻoku nau taʻemaʻa kiate kimoutolu.
29And these are they which are unclean unto you among the swarming things that swarm upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kinds,
29¶ Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ʻoku totolo ʻi he kelekele ʻoku taʻemaʻa kiate kimoutolu; ko e uiseli, mo e kumā, mo e fonu papālangi ʻi hono faʻahinga.
30and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.
30Mo e felite, mo e fokai, mo e moko, mo e sineli, mo e mole.
31These are they which are unclean to you among all that swarm; whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.
31Ko eni ia ʻoku taʻemaʻa kiate kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa ʻoku totolo; ko ia ʻe ala ki ai ka kuo mate, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
32And 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, wherewith any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.
32Pea ʻilonga ha meʻa ʻe tō ki ai ha taha ʻiate kinautolu ka kuo mate, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia; pe ko e ipu ʻakau ia, pe ko e kofu, pe ko e kili, pe ko e kato, ha ipu, pe ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku fai ʻaki ha ngāue, ʻoku tonu ke tuku ia ki he vai, pea tuku ke taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi; pea ʻe fakamaʻa ai ia.
33And every earthen vessel whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break.
33Pea ʻilonga ha ipu ʻumea ʻaia ʻe tō hanau taha ki ai, ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻe taʻemaʻa ia; pea temou foaʻi ia.
34All food therein which may be eaten, that on which water cometh, shall be unclean; and all drink in every such vessel that may be drunk shall be unclean.
34ʻIlonga ʻae meʻakai ʻoku ngofua ke kai, pea kuo tō ki ai ʻae vai ko ia ʻe taʻemaʻa ia; pea ko e meʻainu kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ngofua ke inu ʻi he ngaahi ipu pehē, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia.
35And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces; they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
35Pea ʻilonga ha meʻa ʻe tō ki ai ha konga ʻo honau sino, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia; pe ko e ngotoʻumu, pe ko e hiliʻanga kulo, ʻe maumauʻi ia; he ʻoku nau taʻemaʻa, pea tenau taʻemaʻa kiate kimoutolu.
36Nevertheless a fountain or a cistern wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean; but he who toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.
36Ka koeʻuhi ko e vai moʻui, pe ha luo ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae vai lahi, ʻe maʻa ia: ka ko ia ʻoku ala ki honau sino ʻe taʻemaʻa ia.
37And if aught of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
37Pea kapau ʻe tō ha potu ʻo honau sino ki he tengaʻi ʻakau ʻaia ʻoku tuku ki he tō taʻu, ʻe maʻa ia.
38But if water be put upon the seed, and aught of their carcass fall thereon, it is unclean unto you.
38Pea kapau kuo lingi ha vai ki he ngaahi tenga, pea tō ki ai ha potu ʻo honau sino ki ai, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
39And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die, he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even.
39Pea kapau ʻoku mate mahaki ha manu, ʻaia ʻoku ngofua ke kai: ko ia ʻoku ala ki hono sino, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
40And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even; he also that beareth the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
40Pea ko ia ʻoku ne kai mei hono sino, ʻe fō hono kofu, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi; mo ia foki ʻoku ne fua hono sino ʻo ia, ʻe fō ʻe ia hono kofu, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
41And every swarming thing that swarmeth upon the earth is a detestable thing; it shall not be eaten.
41Pea ko e meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoku totolo ki he kelekele ko e meʻa taʻemaʻa ia; ʻe ʻikai kai ia.
42Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath many feet, even all swarming things that swarm upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are a detestable thing.
42ʻIlonga ʻaia ʻoku ngaolo ki hono kete, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu veʻe fā, mo ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa totolo ʻi he kelekele ʻoku lahi hono vaʻe, ʻe ʻikai temou kai ia he ʻoku nau taʻemaʻa.
43Ye shall not make yourselves detestable with any swarming thing that swarmeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
43ʻOua naʻa mou fakalieliaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku totolo; pea ʻoua naʻa fakaʻuliʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi ai, koeʻuhi ke mou taʻemaʻa ai.
44For I am the LORD your God; sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy; neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of swarming thing that moveth upon the earth.
44He ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua: ko ia temou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea temou māʻoniʻoni; he ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni: pea ʻoua naʻa mou ʻuliʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ha meʻa totolo ʻe taha ʻoku totolo ʻi he funga kelekele.
45For I am the LORD that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
45He ko au Sihova ʻoku ou ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ke hoko ko homou ʻOtua: ko ia temou māʻoniʻoni ai, he ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni.
46This is the law of the beast, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that swarmeth upon the earth;
46Ko eni ʻae fono ki he ngaahi manu lahi, pea ki he fanga manu kapakau, pea ki he meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi he ngaahi vai, mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻi he funga kelekele.
47to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.
47Ke fai kehekehe ki he meʻa taʻemaʻa mo e meʻa maʻa, pea ki he manu ʻoku ngofua ke kai mo e manu ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke kai.
