利未記 11
1 上主訓示梅瑟和亞郎說：「
And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto 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：
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat 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。
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, [and] cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
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；
Nevertheless 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.
5 岩貍，牠雖反芻，但偶蹄無趾，對你們仍是不潔的；
And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you.
6 兔子反芻，偶蹄無趾，對你們仍是不潔的；
And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto 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, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he [is] unclean 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 ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they [are] unclean 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 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.
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。
And 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:
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 shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 水族中凡沒有鰭和鱗的，都是你們所當憎惡的。
Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that [shall be] an abomination unto 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、
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,
14 鳶及準之類；
And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
15 凡烏鴉之類；
Every raven after his kind;
16 駝鳥、夜鷹砐、海鷗和蒼鷹之類；
And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
17 小梟、蘆慈和鳥鳥，
And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 白鷺、塘鵝和白鳩，
And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
19 鸛鷺類、戴勝和扁蝠。
And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20 凡是有翅，四足爬行的昆蟲，都是你們所當憎惡的；
All fowls that creep, going upon [all] four, [shall be] an abomination unto 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 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;
22 你們可吃的是：飛蝗之類，蟋蟀之類和冬斯之類；
[Even] 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.
23 其他凡有翅，四足爬行的昆蟲，都是你們所當憎惡的。
But all [other] flying creeping things, which have four feet, [shall be] an abomination unto 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；
And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
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。
And whosoever beareth [ought] of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
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。
[The 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.
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 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.
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 the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they [are] unclean unto 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；
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,
30 壁虎、避役、蛇舅母、烏龜和伶鼬。
And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
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 [are] unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
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；
And 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.
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；
And every earthen vessel, whereinto [any] of them falleth, whatsoever [is] in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break 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。
Of 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.
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 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.
36 水泉和蓄水池雖是潔淨的，但那接觸屍體的，即成為不潔。
Nevertheless a fountain or pit, [wherein there is] plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
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 [any part] of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it [shall be] clean.
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 put upon the seed, and [any part] of their carcase fall thereon, it [shall be] unclean unto 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；
And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
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 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.
41 凡地上的爬蟲，都是當憎惡的，都不可吃。
And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth [shall be] an abomination; it shall 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。
Whatsoever 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.
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 make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
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: 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.
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 bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore 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 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:
47 以便分辨潔與不潔，可吃與不可吃的生物。
To 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.
