3 Mosebog 11

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

The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

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

“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the living things which you may eat amongst all the animals that are on the earth.

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

Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud amongst the animals, that you may eat.

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;

“‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.

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

The hyrax, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.

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

The hare, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.

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

The pig, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you.

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

You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses. 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;

“‘You may eat of all these 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 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 that don’t have fins and scales in the seas and rivers, all that move in the waters, and all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination 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.

and you shall detest them. You shall not eat of their meat, and you shall detest their carcasses.

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

Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters is an abomination to you.

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

“‘You shall detest these amongst the birds; they shall not be eaten because they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,

14 Glenten, de forskellige Arter af Falke,

the red kite, any kind of black kite,

15 alle de forskellige Arter af Ravne,

any kind of raven,

the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

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

“‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination 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.

Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have long, jointed legs for hopping on the earth.

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

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

But all winged creeping things which have four feet are an abomination to you.

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

“‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

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

Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the 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 animal which has a split hoof that isn’t completely divided, or doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall 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,

Whatever goes on its paws, amongst all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.

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

“‘These are they which are unclean to you amongst the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,

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

the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, 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;

These are they which are unclean to you amongst all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the 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.

Anything they fall on when they are dead 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 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;

Every earthen vessel into which any of them falls and all that is in it shall be unclean. You shall break it.

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

All food which may be eaten which is soaked in water shall be unclean. All drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall 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.

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

Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is gathered shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall 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 part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, 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 part of their carcass falls on it, it is 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.

“‘If any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the 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.

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.

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

“‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.

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 belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

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 shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps. You shall not make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled by them.

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. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves 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 brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be 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 of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth,

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

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.’”
