3 Mosebog 11

1 HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde til dem:

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

2 Tal til Israeliterne og sig: Af alle Dyr paa Jorden maa du spise følgende:

Say to the children of Israel: These are the living things which you may have for food among all the beasts on the earth.

3 Alle Dyr, der har Klove, helt spaltede Klove, og tygger Drøv, maa I spise.

You may have as food any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot, and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again.

4 Men følgende maa I ikke spise af dem der tygger Drøv, og af dem, der har Klove: Kamelen, thi den tygger vel Drøv, men har ikke Klove; den skal være eder uren;

But, at the same time, of those beasts, you may not take for food the camel, because its food comes back but the horn of its foot is not parted in two; it is unclean to you.

5 Klippegrævlingen, thi den tygger vel Drøv, men har ikke Klove: den skal være eder uren;

And the rock-badger, for the same reason, is unclean to you.

6 Haren, thi den tygger vel Drøv, men har ikke Klove; den skal være eder uren;

And the hare, because the horn of its foot is not parted in two, is unclean to you.

7 Svinet, thi det har vel Klove, helt spaltede Klove, men tygger ikke Drøv; det skal være eder urent.

And the pig is unclean to you, because though the horn of its foot is parted, its food does not come back.

8 Deres Kød maa I ikke spise, og ved Aadslerne af dem maa I ikke røre; de skal være eder urene.

Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; they are unclean to you.

9 Af alt, hvad der lever i Vandet, maa I spise følgende: Alt i Vandet, baade i Havet og i Floderne, som har Finner og Skæl, maa I spise;

These you may have for food of all things living in the water: anything living in the water, in the seas or rivers, which has special parts for swimming and skin formed of thin plates, may be used for food.

10 men af alt, hvad der rører sig i Vandet, af alle levende Væsener i Vandet, skal det, som ikke har Finner eller Skæl, hvad enten det er i Havet eller Floderne, være eder en Vederstyggelighed.

All other things living and moving in the water, in the sea or in the rivers, are a disgusting thing to you;

11 De skal være eder en Vederstyggelighed, deres Kød maa I ikke spise, og Aadslerne af dem skal I regne for en Vederstyggelighed.

They may not be used for food, and their dead bodies are disgusting to you.

12 Alt i Vandet, som ikke har Finner eller Skæl, skal være eder en Vederstyggelighed.

Anything in the water which has no special parts for swimming and no thin plates on its skin is disgusting to you.

13 Følgende er de Fugle, I skal regne for en Vederstyggelighed, de maa ikke spises, de er en Vederstyggelighed: Ørnen, Lammegribben, Havørnen,

And among birds these are to be disgusting to you, and not to be used for food: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;

14 Glenten, de forskellige Arter af Falke,

And the kite and the falcon, and birds of that sort;

15 alle de forskellige Arter af Ravne,

Every raven, and birds of that sort;

16 Strudsen, Takmasfuglen, Maagen, de forskellige Arter af Høge,

And the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk, and birds of that sort;

17 Uglen, Fiskepelikanen, Hornuglen,

And the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl;

18 Tinsjemetfuglen, Pelikanen, Aadselgribben,

And the water-hen and the pelican and the vulture;

19 Storken, de forskellige Arter af Hejrer, Hærfuglen og Flagermusen.

The stork and the heron, and birds of that sort, and the hoopoe and the bat.

20 Alt vinget Kryb der gaar paa fire, skal være eder en Vederstyggelighed.

Every winged four-footed thing which goes on the earth is disgusting to you;

21 Af alt det vingede Kryb, som gaar paa fire, maa I dog spise følgende: Dem, der har Skinneben oven over Fødderne til at hoppe med paa Jorden.

But of the winged four-footed things, those which have long legs for jumping on the earth you may have for food;

22 Af dem maa I spise følgende: De forskellige Arter af Græshopper, Solamgræshopper, Hargolgræshopper og Hagabgræshopper.

Such as all the different sorts of locust.

23 Men alt andet vinget Kryb, der gaar paa fire, skal være eder en Vederstyggelighed.

But all other winged four-footed things which go on the earth are disgusting to you.

24 Ved følgende Dyr bliver I urene, enhver, der rører ved Aadslerne af dem, bliver uren til Aften,

By these you will be made unclean; anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean till evening:

25 og enhver, der bærer et Aadsel af dem, skal tvætte sine Klæder og være uren til Aften:

Whoever takes away the dead body of one of them is to have his clothing washed, and will be unclean till evening.

26 Alle Dyr, der har Klove, men ikke helt spaltede, og som ikke tygger Drøv, skal være urene; enhver, der rører ved dem, bliver uren.

Every beast, in the horn of whose foot there is not a complete division, and whose food does not come back, is unclean to you: anyone touching one of these will be unclean.

27 Alle firføddede Dyr, der gaar paa Poter, skal være eder urene; enhver der rører ved et Aadsel af dem, bliver uren til Aften,

Any four-footed beast which goes on the ball of its foot, is unclean to you: anyone touching the dead body of one of these will be unclean till evening.

28 og den, som bærer et Aadsel af dem, skal tvætte sine Klæder og være uren til Aften; de skal være eder urene.

Anyone who takes away the dead body of one of these is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.

29 Af Krybet, der kryber paa Jorden, skal følgende være eder urene: Væselen, Musen, de forskellige Arter af Firben,

And these are unclean to you among things which go low down on the earth; the weasel and the mouse and the great lizard, and animals of that sort;

30 Anakaen, Koadyret, Leta'aen, Hometdyret og Tinsjemetdyret.

And the ferret and the land crocodile and the lizard and the sand-lizard and the chameleon.

31 Det er dem, som skal være eder urene af alt Krybet. Enhver, der rører ved dem, naar de er døde, skal være uren til Aften;

All these are unclean to you: anyone touching them when they are dead will be unclean till evening.

32 alt, hvad et dødt Dyr af den Slags falder ned paa, bliver urent, alle Træting, Klæder, Skind, Sække, overhovedet alt, hvad der bruges ved et eller andet Arbejde; det skal lægges i Vand og være urent til Aften; derpaa skal det være rent.

The dead body of any of these, falling on anything, will make that thing unclean; if it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or bag, whatever it is, if it is used for any purpose, it will have to be put into water, and will be unclean till evening; after that it will be clean.

33 Og falder et af den Slags ned i et Lerkar, saa bliver alt, hvad der er deri, urent, og ethvert saadant Kar skal I slaa i Stykker;

And if one of them gets into any vessel of earth, whatever is in the vessel will be unclean and the vessel will have to be broken.

34 alt spiseligt, som man kommer Vand paa, og alt flydende, der tjener til Drikke, bliver urent i et saadant Kar.

Any food in it, and anything on which water from it comes, will be unclean: any drink taken from such a vessel will be unclean.

35 Alt, hvad et dødt Dyr af den Slags falder ned paa, bliver urent; Ovne og Ildsteder skal nedbrydes, de er urene, og urene skal de være eder.

Any part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they are unclean and will be unclean to you.

36 Dog bliver Kilder og Cisterner, Steder, hvor der samler sig Vand, ved at være rene; men den, der rører ved Aadslerne deri, bliver uren.

But at the same time a fountain or a place where water is stored for use will be clean; but anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean.

37 Falder et dødt Dyr af den Slags ned paa nogen som helst Slags Sæd, der bruges til Udsæd, bliver denne ved at være ren;

If any part of the dead body of one of these gets on to any seed for planting, it is clean;

38 men kommes der Vand paa Sæden, og der saa falder et dødt Dyr af den Slags ned paa den, skal den være eder uren.

But if water is put on the seed, and any part of the dead body gets on to it, it will be unclean to you.

39 Naar noget af det Kvæg, der tjener eder til Føde, dør, skal den, der rører ved den døde Krop, være uren til Aften.

And if any beast which may be used for food comes to a natural death, anyone touching its dead body will be unclean till evening.

40 Den, der spiser noget af den døde Krop, skal tvætte sine Klædet og være uren til Aften, og den, der bærer den døde Krop, skal tvætte sine Klæder og være uren til Aften.

And he who makes use of any part of its body for food is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening; and anyone taking away its body is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.

41 Alt Kryb, der kryber paa Jorden, er en Vederstyggelighed, det maa ikke spises;

Everything which goes flat on its body on the earth is disgusting, and is not to be used for food.

42 intet af det, der kryber paa Bugen, og intet af det, der gaar paa fire, saa lidt som det, der har mange Ben, intet af Krybet, der kryber paa Jorden, maa I spise thi det er en Vederstyggelighed.

Whatever goes on its stomach or on four feet or has a great number of feet, even all those going flat on the earth, may not be used for food, for they are disgusting.

43 Gør ikke eder selv til en Vederstyggelighed ved noget som helst krybende Kryb, gør eder ikke urene derved, saa I bliver urene deraf:

You are not to make yourselves disgusting with anything which goes about flat on the earth; you may not make yourselves unclean with them, in such a way that you are not holy to me.

44 thi jeg er HERREN eders Gud, og I skal hellige eder og være hellige, thi jeg er hellig. Gør eder ikke urene ved noget som helst Kryb, der rører sig paa Jorden;

For I am the Lord your God: for this reason, make and keep yourselves holy, for I am holy; you are not to make yourselves unclean with any sort of thing which goes about flat on the earth.

45 thi jeg er HERREN, der førte eder op fra Ægypten for at være eders Gud; I skal være hellige, thi jeg er hellig!

For I am the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; so be you holy, for I am holy.

46 Det er Loven om Dyr og Fugle og alle levende Væsener, der bevæger sig i Vandet, og alle levende Væsener, der kryber paa Jorden,

This is the law about beasts and birds and every living thing moving in the waters, and every living thing which goes flat on the earth:

47 til Skel mellem det urene og det rene, mellem de Dyr, der maa spises, og dem, der ikke maa spises.

Marking out the unclean from the clean, and the living thing which may be used for food from that which may not.
