1 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i mea ki a raua,

Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them,

2 K orero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Ko nga kirehe enei e kainga e koutou o nga kararehe katoa i runga i te whenua.

“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the animals which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth:

3 K o nga mea katoa i roto i nga kararehe e tararua ana te matimati, e tino mawehe ana hoki te titorehanga, e whakahoki ake ana hoki i te kai, ko tena ta koutou e kai ai.

Among the animals, whatever divides the hoof, having cloven hooves and chewing the cud—that you may eat.

4 O tiia kaua e kainga enei o nga mea e whakahoki ake ana i te kai, o nga mea hoki e tararua ana te matimati: ko te kamera, no te mea e whakahoki ake ana ano ia i te kai, otiia kahore i tararua te matimati; hei mea poke tena ki a koutou.

Nevertheless these you shall not eat among those that chew the cud or those that have cloven hooves: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you;

5 M e te koni, no te mea e whakahoki ake ana ano ia i te kai, otiia kahore i tararua te matimati; hei mea poke ia ki a koutou.

the rock hyrax, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you;

6 M e te hea, no te mea e whakahoki ake ana ano ia i te kai, otiia kahore i tararua te matimati; hei mea poke ia ki a koutou.

the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you;

7 M e te poaka, ahakoa e tararua ana te matimati, e tino mawehe ana hoki te titorehang, kahore e whakahokia ake te kai; hei mea poke ia ki a koutou.

and the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.

8 K aua e kainga tetahi wahi o o ratou kikokiko, kaua ano e pa ki o ratou tinana mate; hei poke ena ki a koutou.

Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. They are unclean to you.

9 K o enei a koutou e kai ai o nga mea katoa o roto o nga wai: ko nga mea katoa o nga wai, o nga moana, o nga awa, he tara o ratou, he unahi, ko ena a koutou e kai ai.

‘These you may eat of all that are in the water: whatever in the water has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers—that you may eat.

10 A , ko nga mea katoa kahore he tara, kahore he unahi, o nga moana, o nga awa, o roto o nga mea katoa e tere ana i nga wai, o nga mea ora katoa o nga wai; hei mea whakarihariha ena ki a koutou:

But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you.

11 I na, hei mea whakarihariha ano ena ki a koutou: kei kainga tetahi wahi o o ratou kikokiko e koutou, a me whakarihariha atu ki o ratou tinana mate.

They shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall regard their carcasses as an abomination.

12 K o nga mea katoa o nga wai kahore he tara, kahore he unahi, hei mea whakarihariha ena ki a koutou.

Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales—that shall be an abomination to you.

13 K o enei ano o nga manu a koutou e whakarihariha ai; e kore e kainga, he whakarihariha hoki: ko te ekara, ko te wawahi iwi, ko te ahipare,

‘And these you shall regard as an abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard,

14 K o te whatura, ko te kaiaia, me nga mea pera;

the kite, and the falcon after its kind;

15 K o nga raweni katoa, me nga mea pera:

every raven after its kind,

16 M e te otereti, me te kahu po, me te koekoea, me te kahu, me nga mea pera,

the ostrich, the short-eared owl, the sea gull, and the hawk after its kind;

17 M e te ruru nohinohi, me te kawau, me te ruru nui,

the little owl, the fisher owl, and the screech owl;

18 M e te wani, me te perikana, me te kia ekara,

the white owl, the jackdaw, and the carrion vulture;

19 M e te taaka, me te heroni, me nga mea pera, me te hupou, me te pekapeka.

the stork, the heron after its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.

20 K o nga mea ngokingoki katoa e rere a manu ana, e wha nga waewae hei haere, me whakarihariha atu e koutou.

‘All flying insects that creep on all fours shall be an abomination to you.

21 O tiia me kai ano enei e koutou o nga mea ngokingoki katoa e rere a manu ana, e wha nei nga waewae hei haere, a he waewae ano o ratou kei runga ake i nga raparapa, hei mokowhiti i runga i te whenua;

Yet these you may eat of every flying insect that creeps on all fours: those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to leap on the earth.

22 K o enei o ratou e kainga e koutou; ko te mawhitiwhiti, me nga mea e rite ana ki a ia, me te tatarakihi, me nga mea e rite ana ki a ia, me te pakauroharoha, me nga mea e rite ana ki a ia, me te koeke, me nga mea e rite ana ki a ia.

These you may eat: the locust after its kind, the destroying locust after its kind, the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

23 K o nga mea ngokingoki ke atu ia, ko nga mea rere a manu, e wha nei o ratou waewae, me whakarihariha atu e koutou.

But all other flying insects which have four feet shall be an abomination to you. Unclean Animals

24 H e mea hoki enei e poke ai koutou: ki te pa tetahi ki o ratou tinana mate, ka poke a ahiahi noa.

‘By these you shall become unclean; whoever touches the carcass of any of them shall be unclean until evening;

25 A ki te mauria e te tangata tetahi wahi o o ratou tinana mate, me horoi e ia ona kakahu, ka poke hoki ia a ahiahi noa.

whoever carries part of the carcass of any of them shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening:

26 K o nga kararehe katoa e tararua ana te matimati, a kahore ano i tino mawehe te titorehanga, kahore ranei e whakahoki ake i te kai, hei mea poke ki a koutou: ka poke nga tangata katoa e pa ana ki a ratou.

The carcass of any animal which divides the foot, but is not cloven-hoofed or does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches it shall be unclean.

27 N a ko nga mea katoa he tu a ringaringa nei nga waewae e haere ai ratou, o roto o nga kirehe katoa e wha nei nga waewae hei haere, hei mea poke ena ki a koutou: ki te pa tetahi ki o ratou tinana mate, ka poke ia a ahiahi noa.

And whatever goes on its paws, among all kinds of animals that go on all fours, those are unclean to you. Whoever touches any such carcass shall be unclean until evening.

28 A ki te mauria e tetahi te tinana mate o tetahi o ratou, me horoi e ia ona kakahu, ka poke hoki ia a ahiahi noa: kia poke ena ki a koutou.

Whoever carries any such carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. It is unclean to you.

29 K a poke ano hoki enei ki a koutou o nga mea ngokingoki katoa e ngokingoki ana i runga i te whenua; ko te wihara, ko te kiore, me te tuatara, me nga mea e rite ana ki a ia,

‘These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the mole, the mouse, and the large lizard after its kind;

30 M e te koka, me te korokotaera, me te mokomoko, me te moeone, me te kamiriona.

the gecko, the monitor lizard, the sand reptile, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.

31 K ia poke enei ki a koutou o nga mea ngokingoki katoa: ki te pa atu tetahi ki a ratou, ina mate, ka poke ia a ahiahi noa.

These are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening.

32 A ki te taka tetahi o ratou, ina mate, ki runga ki tetahi mea, ka poke taua mea; ahakoa he oko rakau, he mea kakahu, hiako ranei, peke ranei; ahakoa he oko aha ranei, aha ranei, e meatia ai tetahi mea, me maka ki te wai, a ka poke a ahiahi noa; katahi ka kore te poke.

Anything on which any of them falls, when they are dead shall be unclean, whether it is any item of wood or clothing or skin or sack, whatever item it is, in which any work is done, it must be put in water. And it shall be unclean until evening; then it shall be clean.

33 A ki te taka tetahi o ratou ki roto ki tetahi oko oneone, ahakoa he aha ranei, he aha ranei, kei roto, kua poke; a me wahi.

Any earthen vessel into which any of them falls you shall break; and whatever is in it shall be unclean:

34 K i te maringi taua wai ki runga ki tetahi o nga kai e kainga ana, ka poke: ka poke ano hoki nga wai katoa e inumia ana i roto i aua oko katoa.

in such a vessel, any edible food upon which water falls becomes unclean, and any drink that may be drunk from it becomes unclean.

35 K a poke ano hoki nga mea katoa kua taka nei tetahi wahi o o ratou tinana mate ki runga: ahakoa oumu, turanga kohua ranei, me wahi kia ngotangota: he mea poke hoki, a ka poke ano ki a koutou.

And everything on which a part of any such carcass falls shall be unclean; whether it is an oven or cooking stove, it shall be broken down; for they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.

36 O tiia ki te mea he puna, he poka ranei, he nui nei te wai, kahore ona poke: ki te pa ia tetahi ki o ratou tinana mate, ka poke.

Nevertheless a spring or a cistern, in which there is plenty of water, shall be clean, but whatever touches any such carcass becomes unclean.

37 K i te taka ano hoki tetahi wahi o o ratou tinana mate ki nga purapura e whakatokia ana, e kore e poke.

And if a part of any such carcass falls on any planting seed which is to be sown, it remains clean.

38 O tiia ki te mea kua oti te purapura te mea ki te wai, a ka taka tetahi wahi o o ratou tinana mate ki runga, ka poke ena ki a koutou.

But if water is put on the seed, and if a part of any such carcass falls on it, it becomes unclean to you.

39 A ki te mate maori tetahi o nga kararehe e kainga ana e koutou; ki te pa tetahi ki tona tinana mate, ka poke ia a ahiahi noa.

‘And if any animal which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until evening.

40 A ki te kai tetahi i tetahi wahi o tona tinana, me horoi e ia ona kakahu, ka poke hoki ia a ahiahi noa; ki te mauria hoki e tetahi tona tinana, me horoi e ia ona kakahu, ka poke hoki ia a ahiahi noa.

He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.

41 H ei mea whakarihariha nga mea ngokingoki katoa e ngokingoki ana i runga i te whenua; e kore e kainga.

‘And every creeping thing that creeps on the earth shall be an abomination. It shall not be eaten.

42 K o nga mea katoa ko te kopu hei haere, me nga mea katoa ko taua tu haere o nga wae e wha, ara ko nga mea katoa he maha nga waewae, i roto i nga mea ngoki katoa e ngoki nei i runga i te whenua, kaua ena e kainga; he mea whakarihariha hoki.

Whatever crawls on its belly, whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet among all creeping things that creep on the earth—these you shall not eat, for they are an abomination.

43 K ei waiho tetahi mea ngokingoki, hei take e whakariharihangia ai koutou, hei mea ranei e poke ai, e noa ai.

You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps; nor shall you make yourselves unclean with them, lest you be defiled by them.

44 N o te mea hoki ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua; mo reira me whakatapu koutou e koutou, a ka tapu; he tapu hoki ahau: kaua ano hoki e whakapokea koutou ki tetahi mea ngokingoki e ngokingoki ana i runga i te whenua.

For I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth.

45 K o Ihowa hoki ahau, i kawe mai nei i a koutou i te whenua o Ihipa, kia waiho ai ahau hei Atua mo koutou: mo reira kia tapu koutou, he tapu hoki ahau.

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

46 K o te ture tenei mo te kararehe, mo te manu, mo nga mea ora katoa e tere ana i nga wai, mo nga mea katoa hoki e ngoki ana i runga i te whenua:

‘This is the law of the animals and the birds and every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth,

47 K ia wehea ai te poke me te pokekore, te kararehe e kainga me te kararehe e kore e kainga.

to distinguish between the unclean and the clean, and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.’”
