利未記 11
1 上主訓示梅瑟和亞郎說：「
After, the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying vnto them,
2 你們應告訴色列子民說：地上的一切走獸中，你們可吃的獸類如下：
Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, These are the beastes which yee shall eate, among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3 凡走獸中偶蹄，有趾及反芻的，你們都可以吃。
Whatsoeuer parteth the hoofe, and is clouen footed, and cheweth the cudde, among the beastes, that shall ye eate.
4 但在反芻或有偶蹄的走獸中，你們不可吃的是駱駝，因為駱駝雖反芻，但偶蹄無趾，對你們仍是潔的；
But of them that chewe the cud, or deuide the hoofe onely, of them yee shall not eate: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, and deuideth not ye hoofe, he shall be vncleane vnto you.
5 岩貍，牠雖反芻，但偶蹄無趾，對你們仍是不潔的；
Likewise the conie, because he cheweth the cud and deuideth not the hoofe, he shall bee vncleane to you.
6 兔子反芻，偶蹄無趾，對你們仍是不潔的；
Also the hare, because he cheweth the cud, and deuideth not the hoofe, he shalbe vncleane to you.
7 豬，牠雖有偶蹄，蹄雖有趾，卻不反芻，對你們仍是不潔的。
And the swine, because he parteth ye hoofe and is clouen footed, but cheweth not the cud, he shalbe vncleane to you.
8 這些走獸的肉，你們不可吃；牠們的屍體，也不可觸摸，因為對你們都是不潔的。
Of their flesh shall yee not eate, and their carkeise shall yee not touch: for they shall bee vncleane to you.
9 水族中你們可吃的如下：凡是水中有鰭有鱗的，不論是海裡的，或河裡的，都可以吃；
These shall ye eate, of all that are in the waters: whatsoeuer hath finnes and skales in ye waters, in the seas, or in the riuers, them shall ye eate.
10 但凡在水中蠕動，和在水中生存的生物，若沒有鰭和鱗，不論是海裡的，或河裡的，都是你們所當憎惡的。
But all that haue not finnes nor skales in the seas, or in the riuers, of all that moueth in the waters, and of al liuing things that are in the waters, they shalbe an abomination vnto you.
11 這些水族，都是你們所當憎惡的：牠們的肉不可吃；牠們的屍體，你們當視為可憎惡之物。
They, I say, shalbe an abomination to you: ye shall not eate of their flesh, but shall abhorre their carkeis.
12 水族中凡沒有鰭和鱗的，都是你們所當憎惡的。
Whatsoeuer hath not fins nor skales in the waters, that shalbe abomination vnto you.
13 飛禽中，你們應視為可憎而不可吃，應視為可憎之物的是：鷹、顎、鳩、
These shall ye haue also in abomination among the foules, they shall not be eaten: for they are an abomination, the eagle, and the goshauke, and the osprey:
14 鳶及準之類；
Also the vultur, and the kite after his kinde,
15 凡烏鴉之類；
And all rauens after their kinde:
16 駝鳥、夜鷹砐、海鷗和蒼鷹之類；
The ostrich also, and the night crowe, and the seameaw, and the hauke after his kinde:
17 小梟、蘆慈和鳥鳥，
The litle owle also, and the connorant, and the great owle.
18 白鷺、塘鵝和白鳩，
Also the redshanke and the pelicane, and the swanne:
19 鸛鷺類、戴勝和扁蝠。
The storke also, the heron after his kinde, and the lapwing, and the backe:
20 凡是有翅，四足爬行的昆蟲，都是你們所當憎惡的；
Also euery foule that creepeth and goeth vpon all foure, such shalbe an abomination vnto you.
21 但在有翅，四足爬行的昆蟲中，凡有腳以外，還有大腿，在地上能跳的，你們可以吃。
Yet these shall ye eate: of euery foule that creepeth, and goeth vpon all foure which haue their feete and legs all of one to leape withal vpon the earth,
22 你們可吃的是：飛蝗之類，蟋蟀之類和冬斯之類；
Of them ye shall eate these, the grashopper after his kinde, and the solean after his kinde, the hargol after his kinde, and the hagab after his kind.
23 其他凡有翅，四足爬行的昆蟲，都是你們所當憎惡的。
But al other foules that creepe and haue foure feete, they shalbe abomination vnto you.
24 遇到以下的光景也能使你們不潔：凡觸摸這些昆蟲屍體的人，直到晚上不潔；
For by such ye shalbe polluted: whosoeuer toucheth their carkeis, shalbe vncleane vnto the euening.
25 凡移動牠們屍體的人，應洗滌自己的衣服，直到晚上市不潔的。
Whosoeuer also beareth of their carkeis, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil euen.
26 凡有偶蹄而無趾的，或不反芻的走獸，為你們都是不潔的；誰觸摸就染上了不潔。
Euery beast that hath clawes deuided, and is not clouen footed, nor cheweth the cud, such shalbe vncleane vnto you: euery one that toucheth them, shalbe vncleane.
27 一切四足動物中，舉凡用腳掌行走的，為你們都是不潔的；誰觸摸了牠們的屍體，直到晚上是不潔的；
And whatsoeuer goeth vpon his pawes among all maner beastes that goeth on all foure, such shalbe vncleane vnto you: who so doth touch their carkeis shalbe vncleane vntil the euen.
28 誰移動了牠們的屍體，應洗滌自己的衣服，直到晚上是不潔的。這些動物為你們都是不潔的。
And he that beareth their carkeis, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntill the euen: for such shalbe vncleane vnto you.
29 在地上爬行的動物中，為你們不潔的是：晏鼠、老鼠和蜥蜴之類；
Also these shalbe vncleane to you amog the things that creepe and moue vpon the earth, the weasell, and the mouse, and the frog, after his kinde:
30 壁虎、避役、蛇舅母、烏龜和伶鼬。
Also the rat, and the lizard, and the chameleon, and the stellio, and the molle.
31 這些爬行的動物，為你們都是不潔的；牠們死後，誰處麼了，直到晚上是不潔的。
These shall be vncleane to you among all that creepe: whosoeuer doeth touch them when they be dead, shalbe vncleane vntil the euen.
32 其中死了的，掉在什麼物件上，不論是木器，或衣服，或皮據，或囊袋，凡能用的器具，即成為不潔，應放入水內，直到晚上是不潔的；，以後才算潔淨；
Also whatsoeuer any of the dead carkeises of them doth fall vpon, shalbe vncleane, whether it be vessel of wood, or rayment, or skinne, or sacke: whatsoeuer vessel it be that is occupied, it shalbe put in the water as vncleane vntil the euen, and so be purified.
33 一切陶器，如有牠們中一個掉在裡面，裡面所有的一切即成為不潔，陶器應該打破；
But euery earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoeuer is within it shalbe vncleane, and ye shall breake it.
34 如裡面的水滴在任何食物上，食物即成為不潔的；在這種陶器內裝了任何飲料，飲料也成為不潔的。
Al meate also that shalbe eaten, if any such water come vpon it, shalbe vncleane: and all drinke that shalbe drunke in al such vessels shalbe vncleane.
35 牠們的屍體無論掉在什麼東西上，那東西即成為不潔的：不拘爐或灶都應該打碎，因為是不潔的，你們也應視為不潔。
And euery thing that their carkeis fall vpon, shalbe vncleane: the fornais or the pot shalbe broken: for they are vncleane, and shalbe vncleane vnto you.
36 水泉和蓄水池雖是潔淨的，但那接觸屍體的，即成為不潔。
Yet the fountaines and welles where there is plentie of water shalbe cleane: but that which toucheth their carkeises shalbe vncleane.
37 如果他們中一個掉在要播種的種籽上，種籽是潔淨的眥；
And if there fal of their dead carkeis vpon any seede, which vseth to be sowe, it shalbe cleane.
38 但若種籽已浸了水，而屍體掉在上面，這種籽對你們便成了不潔的。
But if any water be powred vpon ye seede, and there fal of their dead carkeis thereon, it shall be vncleane vnto you.
39 若你們可吃的一隻走獸死了，誰處麼了牠的屍體，直到晚上是的不潔的；
If also any beast, whereof ye may eate, die, he that toucheth the carkeis thereof shall be vncleane vntil the euen.
40 誰吃了這屍體的肉，應洗滌自己的衣服，並且直到晚上是不潔的。
And he that eateth of the carkeis of it, shall wash his clothes and be vncleane vntil the euen: he also that beareth the carkeis of it, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil the euen.
41 凡地上的爬蟲，都是當憎惡的，都不可吃。
Euery creeping thing therefore that creepeth vpon the earth shalbe an abomination, and not be eaten.
42 不論是用腹部爬行的，或用四足爬行的，或多足的，凡是地上的爬蟲，你們都不可吃，因為都是可憎惡的。
Whatsoeuer goeth vpon the breast, and whatsoeuer goeth vpon al foure, or that hath many feete among all creeping thinges that creepe vpon the earth, ye shall not eate of them, for they shalbe abomination.
43 你們不要因任何爬蟲使你們成為可憎惡的；你們不要因牠們而成為不潔的，或染上不潔，
Ye shall not pollute your selues with any thing that creepeth, neither make your selues vncleane with them, neither defile your selues thereby: ye shall not, I say, be defiled by them,
44 因為我上主是你們的天主：你們該表現為聖潔的，你們應是聖的，因為我是聖的。你們不要因地上任何爬蟲，而使自己成為不潔的，
For I am the Lord your God: be sanctified therefore, and be holy, for I am holy, and defile not your selues with any creeping thing, that creepeth vpon the earth.
45 因為是我上主領你們由埃及地上來，為作你們的天主：你們應是聖的，因為我是聖的。
For I am the Lord that brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to be your God, and that you should be holy, for I am holy.
46 以上是有關走獸飛禽，一切水中游行和地上一切爬行動物的法律，
This is the law of beasts, and of foules, and of euery liuing thing that moueth in the waters, and of euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth:
47 以便分辨潔與不潔，可吃與不可吃的生物。
That there may be a difference betweene the vncleane and cleane, and betweene the beast that may be eaten, and the beast that ought not to be eaten.
