< 利未记 11 >
Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2 “你们晓谕以色列人说,在地上一切走兽中可吃的乃是这些:
"Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.
4 但那倒嚼或分蹄之中不可吃的乃是:骆驼—因为倒嚼不分蹄,就与你们不洁净;
"'Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.
The coney, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.
The hare, because she chews the cud but doesn't part the hoof, she is unclean to you.
The pig, because he has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn't chew the cud, he is unclean to you.
8 这些兽的肉,你们不可吃;死的,你们不可摸,都与你们不洁净。
Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.
9 “水中可吃的乃是这些:凡在水里、海里、河里、有翅有鳞的,都可以吃。
"'These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.
10 凡在海里、河里,并一切水里游动的活物,无翅无鳞的,你们都当以为可憎。
All that do not have fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,
11 这些无翅无鳞、以为可憎的,你们不可吃它的肉;死的也当以为可憎。
and you detest them. You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses.
Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you.
13 “雀鸟中你们当以为可憎、不可吃的乃是:雕、狗头雕、红头雕、
"'These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture,
and the red kite, any kind of black kite,
the horned owl, the screech owl, and the gull, any kind of hawk,
the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 “凡有翅膀用四足爬行的物,你们都当以为可憎。
"'All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.
21 只是有翅膀用四足爬行的物中,有足有腿,在地上蹦跳的,你们还可以吃。
Yet you may eat these: of all winged crawling creatures that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth.
22 其中有蝗虫、蚂蚱、蟋蟀与其类;蚱蜢与其类;这些你们都可以吃。
Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.
But all winged crawling creatures which have four feet, are an abomination to you.
24 “这些都能使你们不洁净。凡摸了死的,必不洁净到晚上。
"'By these you will become unclean: whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.
Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
26 凡走兽分蹄不成两瓣、也不倒嚼的,是与你们不洁净;凡摸了的就不洁净。
"'Every animal which parts the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
27 凡四足的走兽,用掌行走的,是与你们不洁净;摸其尸的,必不洁净到晚上。
Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
28 拿其尸的,必不洁净到晚上,并要洗衣服。这些是与你们不洁净的。
He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.
29 “地上爬物与你们不洁净的乃是这些:鼬鼠、鼫鼠、蜥蜴与其类;
"'These are they which are unclean to you among the creatures that crawl on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,
the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.
31 这些爬物都是与你们不洁净的。在它死了以后,凡摸了的,必不洁净到晚上。
These are they which are unclean to you among all that crawl. Whoever touches them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
32 其中死了的,掉在什么东西上,这东西就不洁净,无论是木器、衣服、皮子、口袋,不拘是做什么工用的器皿,须要放在水中,必不洁净到晚上,到晚上才洁净了。
On whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it will be clean.
33 若有死了掉在瓦器里的,其中不拘有什么,就不洁净,你们要把这瓦器打破了。
Every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.
34 其中一切可吃的食物,沾水的就不洁净,并且那样器皿中一切可喝的,也必不洁净。
All food which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
35 其中已死的,若有一点掉在什么物件上,那物件就不洁净,不拘是炉子,是锅台,就要打碎,都不洁净,也必与你们不洁净。
Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
36 但是泉源或是聚水的池子仍是洁净;惟挨了那死的,就不洁净。
Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is a gathered shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37 若是死的,有一点掉在要种的子粒上,子粒仍是洁净;
If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
38 若水已经浇在子粒上,那死的有一点掉在上头,这子粒就与你们不洁净。
But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
39 “你们可吃的走兽若是死了,有人摸它,必不洁净到晚上;
"'If any animal, of which you may eat, dies; he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
40 有人吃那死了的走兽,必不洁净到晚上,并要洗衣服;拿了死走兽的,必不洁净到晚上,并要洗衣服。
He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
"'Every swarming thing that swarms on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.
42 凡用肚子行走的和用四足行走的,或是有许多足的,就是一切爬在地上的,你们都不可吃,因为是可憎的。
Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creatures that crawl on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
43 你们不可因什么爬物使自己成为可憎的,也不可因这些使自己不洁净,以致染了污秽。
You shall not make yourselves abominable with any crawling creature that crawls, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby.
44 我是耶和华—你们的 神;所以你们要成为圣洁,因为我是圣洁的。你们也不可在地上的爬物污秽自己。
For I am Jehovah your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any kind of crawling creature that moves on the earth.
45 我是把你们从埃及地领出来的耶和华,要作你们的 神;所以你们要圣洁,因为我是圣洁的。”
For I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46 这是走兽、飞鸟,和水中游动的活物,并地上爬物的条例。
"'This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that crawls on the earth,
47 要把洁净的和不洁净的,可吃的与不可吃的活物,都分别出来。
to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.'"
