利未記 11
1 上主訓示梅瑟和亞郎說：「
And the Lord spoke 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 may 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 divideth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may 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；
But these shall ye not eat, of those that chew the cud, or of those that divide the hoof: 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 cony; 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; because he divideth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean unto 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 carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean unto 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 may ye eat, of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them may 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。
But all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of whatever moveth in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, 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。
And an abomination shall they remain unto you; of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination.
12 水族中凡沒有鰭和鱗的，都是你們所當憎惡的。
Whatsoever hath not fins and scales in the waters, 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 shall ye have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: The eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey,
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 ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, 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 his 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 flying insects that walk upon four feet, 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, among all the flying insects that walk on four feet, which have spring-legs above their feet, to leap therewith upon the earth.
22 你們可吃的是：飛蝗之類，蟋蟀之類和冬斯之類；
These of them may ye eat: The locust after its kind, and the sol'am after its kind, and the chargol after its kind, and the chagab after its 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 flying insects, 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 through these shall ye be rendered unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening;
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 aught of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
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。
Every species of beast, which divideth the hoof and is not cloven-footed nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheth the same 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 all that walk upon their paws, among all manner of beasts that walk on four feet, are unclean unto you; whosoever toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
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 carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: unclean shall they be 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；
And these shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: The weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind,
30 壁虎、避役、蛇舅母、烏龜和伶鼬。
And the hedgehog, 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 shall be unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
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 every thing upon which any part of them, when they are dead, doth fall, shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith any work can be done, must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, when it shall be clean.
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 part of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and itself shall ye break.
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。
All kinds of food which may be eaten, on which water cometh, shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk, shall be rendered unclean in every vessel.
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 carcass falleth, shall be unclean; an oven, or ranges for pots, shall be broken down, they are unclean; and unclean shall they be 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, receptacles for water, shall be clean; but he that toucheth their carcass 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 carcass fall upon any sowing-seed which hath been 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 carcass 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 cattle die, which is allowed to you as food: he that toucheth its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
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 its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; he also that beareth its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
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 is 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 four feet, down to whatsoever hath many feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, shall ye 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; and ye shall not 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 make yourselves unclean 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 have brought 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 distinguish between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
