利未記 11
1 上主訓示梅瑟和亞郎說：「
And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto 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 ye unto the sons of Israel saying, —These are the living things which ye may eat, of all the beasts which are upon 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 cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud among 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；
Nevertheless, these, shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, and of them that part the hoof, —the camel, because though he, cheweth the cud, yet, the hoof, he parteth not, unclean, he is to 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, though he cheweth the cud, yet, the hoof, he parteth not, —unclean, he is to you;
6 兔子反芻，偶蹄無趾，對你們仍是不潔的；
And the hare, because though she cheweth the cud, yet the hoof, she parteth not, —unclean, she is 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 though he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, yet, the cud, he cheweth not, —unclean, he is 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, —unclean, they are 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, 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 all that swarm in the waters, and of all the living souls that are in the waters, an abomination, they are 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 to you, —of their flesh, ye shall not eat, and their carcases, shall ye abhor.
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, an abomination, it is 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 abhor of birds, they shall not be eaten, an abomination, they are, —the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey;
14 鳶及準之類；
and the vulture, and the falcon, after its kind;
15 凡烏鴉之類；
every raven, after its kind;
16 駝鳥、夜鷹砐、海鷗和蒼鷹之類；
and the female ostrich, and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, —and the hawk after its kind;
17 小梟、蘆慈和鳥鳥，
and the pelican and the gannet, and the bittern;
18 白鷺、塘鵝和白鳩，
and the swan and the vomiting pelican and the little vulture;
19 鸛鷺類、戴勝和扁蝠。
and the stork, and the parrot, after its kind, —and the mountain-cock and the bat.
20 凡是有翅，四足爬行的昆蟲，都是你們所當憎惡的；
Every creeping thing that flieth, that goeth on all-fours, an abomination, it is 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。
Nevertheless, these, may ye eat, of all creeping things that fly, that go on all-fours, —such as have 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 swarming-locust after its kind, and the devouring locust after its kind, —and the chargol-locust after its kind, and the chagab-locust 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 every [other] creeping thing that flieth, which hath four feet, an abomination, it is 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, shall ye count yourselves unclean—whosoever toucheth the carcase 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 away aught of the carcase of them, 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。
As for every kind of beast which, though it parteth the hoof, yet is not cloven-footed nor cheweth the cud, unclean, they are unto you, —every one who 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, all that go upon their paws, among all the living things that go on all-fours, unclean, they are unto you, —whoso toucheth the carcase of them, 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 away the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the evening, —unclean, they are 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, unto you, shall be unclean, among the creeping things that creep upon the earth, —the weasel and the mouse, and the lizard after its kind;
30 壁虎、避役、蛇舅母、烏龜和伶鼬。
and the ferret and the chameleon and the wall-lizard, —and the winding lizard, 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 they which are unclean to you among all that creep, —whosoever toucheth 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, everything whereon any of them shall fall when they are dead shall be unclean—of any articles of wood, or cloth, or skin, or sackcloth, any article wherewith any work is done, —shall be put in water and shall be unclean until the evening, and then 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, as for any earthen vessel whereinto any of them may fall, everything therein shall be unclean, and, the vessel itself, shall ye break in pieces.
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 the food that may be eaten, that whereon shall come water, shall be unclean, —and, all drink which might be drunk in any [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, everything whereon shall fall any part of the carcase of them shall be unclean, oven or fire-range, it shall be destroyed, unclean, they are, —and, unclean, Shall they remain to 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。
Notwithstanding, a fountain or cistern wherein is a gathering of waters shall be clean, —but, he that toucheth the carcase of them 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 when any part of the carcase of them shall fall upon seed for sowing, which is to be sown, the same is, 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, when water shall be put upon seed, and there shall fall thereon any part of the carcase of them, unclean, it is to 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, when any of the beasts which are yours for food shall die, he that toucheth the carcase of it 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 the carcase of it, shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening, —he also that carrieth away the carcase thereof 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, any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, an abomination, it is—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。
Everything that goeth upon the belly, and everything that goeth upon all-fours, even to everything having many feet, as regardeth any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, ye shall not eat them for, an abomination, they are.
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，
Do not make your persons abominable, with any creeping thing that creepeth, —neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should become unclean 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—Yahweh, am your God, therefore shall ye hallow yourselves and remain holy; for, holy, am, I,—therefore shall ye not make your persons unclean, with any creeping thing that crawleth 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—Yahweh, am he that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, that I might become your God, —therefore shall ye be holy, for, holy, am, I.
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 beast and of bird, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, —and as to every soul that creepeth upon the earth:
47 以便分辨潔與不潔，可吃與不可吃的生物。
That ye may make a difference—between the unclean and the clean, —and between the living thing that may be eaten, and the living thing which may not be eaten.
