11፥1-23 ተጓ ምብ – ዘዳ 14፥3-20
1እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ሙሴንና አሮንን እንዲህ አላቸው፤ 2“እስራኤላውያንን እንዲህ በሏቸው፤ ‘በየብስ ከሚኖሩ እንስሳት ሁሉ የምትበሏቸው እነዚህ ናቸው፦ 3ሰኰናው የተሰነጠቀውን የሚያመሰኳውን ማንኛውንም እንስሳ መብላት ትችላላችሁ።
4“ ‘የሚያመሰኩ ሆነው ሰኰናቸው ያልተሰነጠቀ ወይም ሰኰናቸው የተሰነጠቀ ሆኖ የማያመሰኩትን አትብሉ፤ ግመል ያመሰኳል፤ ሰኰናው ስላልተሰነጠቀ ግን በእናንተ ዘንድ ርኩስ ይሁን። 5ሽኮኮ ያመሰኳል፤ ሰኰናው ስላልተሰነጠቀ ግን በእናንተ ዘንድ ርኩስ ይሁን። 6ጥንቸል ያመሰኳል፤ ሰኰናው ስላልተሰነጠቀ ግን በእናንተ ዘንድ ርኩስ ይሁን። 7ዐሳማ ሰኰናው የተሰነጠቀ ቢሆንም ስለማያመሰኳ በእናንተ ዘንድ ርኩስ ይሁን። 8የእነዚህን እንስሳት ሥጋ አትብሉ፤ ጥንባቸውንም አትንኩ፤ በእናንተ ዘንድ ርኩሶች ይሁኑ።
9“ ‘በባሕሮችና በወንዞች ውሃ ውስጥ ከሚኖሩት ፍጡሮች ክንፍና ቅርፊት ያላቸውን መብላት ትችላላችሁ፤ 10ነገር ግን በባሕሮችና በወንዞች ውስጥ ከሚኖሩት ፍጡሮች ሁሉ፣ ከሚንፏቀቁት ወይም በውሃ ውስጥ ከሚኖሩት ሕይወት ካላቸው ሌሎች ፍጡሮች መካከል ክንፍና ቅርፊት የሌላቸው በእናንተ ዘንድ አስጸያፊዎች ይሁኑ፤ 11በእናንተ ዘንድ አስጸያፊ ስለ ሆኑ ሥጋቸውን አትብሉ፤ በድናቸውንም ትጸየፋላችሁ፤ 12ክንፍና ቅርፊት የሌለው ማንኛውም በውሃ ውስጥ የሚኖር ፍጡር በእናንተ ዘንድ አስጸያፊ ይሁን።
13“ ‘ከአዕዋፍ ወገን እነዚህን ትጸየፋላችሁ፤ ጸያፍ ስለ ሆኑም አትብሏቸው፦ ንስር፣ ጥንብ አንሣ፣ ግልገል አንሣ፣ 14ጭላት፣ ማንኛውም ዐይነት ጭልፊት፣ 15ማንኛውም ዐይነት ቍራ፣ 16ሰጐን፣ ጠላቋ፣ ዝይ፣ ማንኛውም ዐይነት በቋል፣ 17ጕጕት፣ ርኩም፣ ጋጋኖ፣ 18የውሃ ዶሮ፣ ይብራ፣ ስደተኛ አሞራ፣ 19ሽመላ፣ ማንኛውም ዐይነት ሳቢሳ፣ ጅንጁላቴ ወፍና የሌሊት ወፍ።11፥19 በዚህ ምዕራፍ ውስጥ ያሉ የእያንዳንዱ አዕዋፍ፣ ነፍሳትና እንስሳት ትክክለኛ ማንነታቸው በትክክል አይታወቅም
20“ ‘ክንፍ ኖሯቸው በአራት እግር የሚንቀሳቀሱ ነፍሳት ሁሉ በእናንተ ዘንድ አስጸያፊዎች ይሁኑ። 21ነገር ግን ክንፍ ኖሯቸው በአራት እግር ከሚንቀሳቀሱ ነፍሳት መካከል ከምድር በሚፈናጠሩበት እግራቸው አንጓ ያለባቸውን መብላት ትችላላችሁ። 22ከእነዚህ ማንኛውንም ዐይነት አንበጣ፣ ፌንጣና ኵብኵባ መብላት ትችላላችሁ። 23ነገር ግን ክንፍ ኖሯቸው በአራት እግር የሚንቀሳቀሱትን ፍጥረታት ተጸየፏቸው።
24“ ‘ከእነዚህ የተነሣ ትረክሳላችሁ፤ የእነዚህን በድን የሚነካ ሁሉ እስከ ማታ ድረስ ርኩስ ይሆናል። 25የእነዚህንም በድን የሚያነሣ ሰው ሁሉ ልብሱን ይጠብ፤ ሆኖም እስከ ማታ ድረስ ርኩስ ነው።
26“ ‘ሰኰና ያለው፣ ነገር ግን ሰኰናው ያልተሰነጠቀና የማያመሰኳ ማንኛውም እንስሳ በእናንተ ዘንድ ርኩስ ይሁን። የእነዚህንም በድን የሚነካ ሰው ሁሉ ይረክሳል። 27አራት እግር ካላቸው እንስሳት ሁሉ በመዳፋቸው የሚሄዱት በእናንተ ዘንድ ርኩሳን ናቸው፤ በድናቸውንም የሚነካ ሁሉ እስከ ማታ ድረስ ርኩስ ይሆናል። 28የእነዚህን በድን የሚያነሣ ሰው ልብሱን ይጠብ፤ ሆኖም እስከ ማታ ድረስ ርኩስ ይሆናል፤ እንስሳቱም በእናንተ ዘንድ ርኩሳን ናቸው።
29“ ‘ምድር ለምድር ከሚንቀሳቀሱ እንስሳት መካከል እነዚህ በእናንተ ዘንድ ርኩሳን ናቸው፦ ሙጭልጭላ፣ ዐይጥ፣ እንሽላሊት በየወገኑ፣ 30ዔሊ፣ ዐዞ፣ ገበሎ፣ አርጃኖ፣ ዕሥሥት። 31ምድር ለምድር ከሚንቀሳቀሱ እንስሳት ሁሉ መካከል እነዚህ በእናንተ ዘንድ ርኩሳን ናቸው፤ ከእነዚህም የሞተውን የሚነካ ሁሉ እስከ ማታ ድረስ ርኩስ ይሆናል። 32በድኑ በማንኛውም ዕቃ ላይ ቢወድቅ ያ ዕቃ ከዕንጨት፣ ከጨርቅ፣ ከቈዳ ወይም ከበርኖስ የተሠራ ቢሆን ርኩስ ይሆናል፤ በውሃ ውስጥ ይደረግ፤ ሆኖም ርኩስ ነው፤ ከዚያም በኋላ ንጹሕ ይሆናል። 33በድኑም በሸክላ ዕቃ ውስጥ ቢወድቅ፣ በውስጡ ያለ ነገር ሁሉ ርኩስ ስለሚሆን ዕቃውን ስበሩት። 34ማንኛውም ምግብ እንዲህ ካለው ዕቃ ውሃ ቢፈስስበት ይረክሳል፤ ከዚህ ዕቃ የሚጠጣውም ነገር ሁሉ ርኩስ ነው። 35ከበድናቸው አንዱ የወደቀበት ነገር ሁሉ ይረክሳል፤ ምድጃም ይሁን ማሰሮ ይሰበር፤ ርኩሳን ናቸው፤ እናንተም ተጸየፏቸው። 36ነገር ግን ምንጭ ወይም የውሃ ማጠራቀሚያ ጕድጓድ ንጹሕ እንደ ሆነ ይቈያል፤ ሆኖም በድኑን የነካ ይረክሳል። 37በሚዘራ ዘር ላይ በድን ቢወድቅ ዘሩ ንጹሕ እንደ ሆነ ይቈያል። 38ነገር ግን በዘሩ ላይ ውሃ ከፈሰሰበት በኋላ በድን ቢወድቅበት ዘሩ በእናንተ ዘንድ ርኩስ ነው።
39“ ‘እንድትበሉ ከተፈቀደላችሁ እንስሳት አንዱ ቢሞት፣ በድኑን የሚነካ ማንኛውም ሰው እስከ ማታ ድረስ ርኩስ ይሆናል። 40ማንም ሰው ከበድኑ ቢበላ ልብሱን ይጠብ፤ ሆኖም እስከ ማታ ድረስ ርኩስ ነው፤ በድኑን የሚያነሣ ልብሱን ይጠብ፤ ሆኖም እስከ ማታ ድረስ ርኩስ ይሆናል።
41“ ‘ምድር ለምድር የሚንቀሳቀስ ማንኛውም ፍጡር ጸያፍ ነው፤ አይበላም። 42ምድር ለምድር የሚንቀሳቀሰውን ፍጡር ሁሉ፣ ይኸውም በደረቱ የሚሳበውን ወይም በአራት እግር የሚሄደውን ወይም ብዙ እግሮች ያሉትን አትብሉ፤ ጸያፍ ነው። 43በእነዚህ ፍጡራን ሁሉ ራሳችሁን አስጸያፊ አታድርጉ፤ በእነርሱም ራሳችሁን በማጕደፍ አትርከሱ። 44እኔ እግዚአብሔር አምላካችሁ (ያህዌ ኤሎሂም) ቅዱስ ነኝና እናንተም ተለዩ፤ ቅዱሳንም ሁኑ፤ ምድር ለምድር በሚንቀሳቀስ በማንኛውም ፍጡር ራሳችሁን አታርክሱ። 45አምላካችሁ (ኤሎሂም) እሆን ዘንድ ከግብፅ ምድር ያወጣኋችሁ እኔ እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ነኝ፤ ስለዚህ እኔ ቅዱስ ነኝና እናንተም ቅዱሳን ሁኑ።
46“ ‘እንስሳትንና አዕዋፍን፣ በውሃ ውስጥ የሚኖሩትንና ምድር ለምድር የሚንቀሳቀሱትን ፍጥረታት ሁሉ በሚመለከት የተሰጠ ሕግ ይህ ነው። 47በዚህም በርኩሱና በንጹሑ መካከል፣ እንዲሁም ሕይወት ካላቸው ፍጡራን የሚበሉትንና የማይበሉትን ትለያላችሁ።’ ”
1And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 3Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. 4Nevertheless 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. 5And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 6And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 7And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
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. 10And 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: 11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. 12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
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, 14And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; 15Every raven after his kind; 16And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 17And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, 18And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, 19And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you. 21Yet 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; 22Even 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. 23But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. 24And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even. 25And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. 26The 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. 27And 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. 28And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
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, 30And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 31These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even. 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, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed. 33And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. 34Of 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. 35And 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. 36Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.11.36 wherein…: Heb. a gathering together of waters 37And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. 38But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. 39And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even. 40And 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. 41And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. 42Whatsoever 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.11.42 hath…: Heb. doth multiply feet
43Ye 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.11.43 yourselves abominable: Heb. your souls, etc 44For 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. 45For 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. 46This 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: 47To 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.
