11 1Our Papa talk to Moses and Aaron, tell dem sey,
2"Talk to di Israel people: Na dis be di living creature wey una fit chop among all di animal wey dey for di ground. 3Among di animal, una fit chop any wey im hoof split into two, wey divide well-well, and wey dey chew im food again.
4"But dis ones una no suppose chop among di ones wey dey chew dia food again or wey dia hoof divide: di camel—e dey chew im food again but im hoof no divide; e dirty for una. 5Di rock badger dey chew im food again but im hoof no divide; e dirty for una. 6Di hare, bikos e dey chew im food again but im hoof no divide—e dirty for una. 7And di pig, even as im hoof divide, split well-well, e no dey chew im food again—e dirty for una. 8No chop dia meat, and no touch dia dead body—dem dirty for una.
9"Dis ones una fit chop among all di tins wey dey inside water: anytin wey get fin and scale for inside water, for di sea, and for di river—dat ones una fit chop. 10But anytin wey no get fin and scale for inside di sea and di river, among all di tins wey dey plenty for inside water and all di living tins wey dey inside water—dem be tin wey una suppose hate. 11Dem go still be tin wey una suppose hate; no chop dia meat, and make una hate dia dead body. 12Anytin wey no get fin or scale for inside water—dat one na tin wey una suppose hate.
13"Make una hate dis birds; no chop dem—dem be tin wey una suppose hate: di eagle, di vulture, di black vulture, 14di kite, and di falcon wit im kind, 15every raven wit im kind, 16di ostrich, di nighthawk, di seagull, and di hawk wit im kind, 17di small owl, di cormorant, di big owl, 18di white owl, di desert owl, di carrion vulture, 19di stork, di heron wit im kind, di hoopoe, and di bat. a a v19 Bat dey here bikos di old-time way wey dem take group 'birds' bin cover all di tins wey dey fly, no be only di ones wey get feather.
20"Every tin wey get wing wey dey waka plenty-plenty for four leg na tin wey una suppose hate. 21But dis ones una fit chop among all di tins wey get wing wey dey waka plenty-plenty for four leg: di ones wey get leg wey bend for on top dia foot so dem fit jump for ground. 22Una fit chop dis ones: di locust, di bald locust, di cricket, and di grasshopper, each one wit im kind. 23But every oda tin wey get wing wey dey waka plenty-plenty wey get four foot na tin wey una suppose hate.
24"Dis tins go make una dirty; whoever touch dia dead body go dirty reach evening, 25whoever carry any of dia dead body must wash im cloth and e go dirty reach evening.
26"Every animal wey im hoof divide but e no split well-well, or wey no dey chew im food again, e dirty for una; whoever touch dem dey dirty. 27Anytin wey dey waka wit im paw, among all di four-leg animal, e dirty for una; whoever touch dia dead body dey dirty reach evening, 28whoever carry dia dead body must wash im cloth and e go dirty reach evening; dem dirty for una.
29"Dis ones dirty for una among di tins wey dey crawl plenty for di ground: di mole rat, di mouse, di big lizard wit im kind, 30di gecko, di monitor lizard, di wall lizard, di skink, and di chameleon. 31Dis ones dirty for una among all di tins wey dey crawl; whoever touch dem wey don die dey dirty reach evening. 32Anytin wey one of dia dead body fall on top go dirty—any wooden tin, cloth, leather, or sackcloth, any tin wey dem dey take work. Dem must put am inside water and e go still dirty reach evening; den e go clean. 33Any clay pot wey one of dem fall inside—anytin wey dey inside am dey dirty; break di pot. 34Any food wey dat kind water touch go dirty; any drink wey dey inside dat kind pot go dirty. 35Anytin wey one of dia dead body fall on top go dirty; oven or cooking place, dem must break am. Dem dirty, and dem dirty for una. 36But spring or well wey hold water go still clean, but whoever touch dia dead body dey dirty. 37If any of dia dead body fall on top seed wey dem wan plant, e go still clean. 38But if dem don put water for di seed and part of dia dead body fall on top am, e dirty for una.
39"If any animal wey una fit chop die, whoever touch im dead body dey dirty reach evening. 40Whoever chop im dead body must wash dia cloth and e go dirty reach evening; whoever carry im dead body must wash dia cloth and e go dirty reach evening.
41"Every tin wey dey crawl plenty for di ground na tin wey una suppose hate; no chop am. 42Anytin wey dey move wit im belle, dey waka for four leg, or wey get plenty foot—among all di tins wey dey crawl plenty for di ground—no chop dem; dem be tin wey una suppose hate. 43No make unasef become tin wey una suppose hate wit any tin wey dey crawl plenty, and no make unasef dirty wit dem, so una no go dirty troway dem. 44Bikos na Me be una Papa: make una set unasef apart, make una holy, since I holy. No make unasef dirty wit any tin wey dey crawl for ground. 45Na Me be una Papa wey bring una comot for Egypt make I fit be una God; make una holy, bikos I holy."
46Na dis be di law about di animal, di birds, every living tin wey dey move for inside water, and every tin wey dey crawl for di ground, 47make una fit know di difference between di tin wey dirty and di tin wey clean, between di animal wey una fit chop and di ones wey una no fit chop.
