Leviticus 11
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
上主訓示梅瑟和亞郎說：「
2 Say to the sons of Israel: These are the animals that you ought to eat out of all the living things of the earth.
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：
3 All that has a divided hoof, and that chews over again, among the cattle, you shall eat.
凡走獸中偶蹄，有趾及反芻的，你們都可以吃。
4 But whatever certainly chews over again, but has a hoof that is not divided, such as the camel and others, these you shall not eat, and you shall consider them to be among what is unclean.
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；
5 The rock rabbit which chews over again, and whose hoof is not divided, is unclean,
岩貍，牠雖反芻，但偶蹄無趾，對你們仍是不潔的；
6 and so also is the hare, for it too chews over again, yet its hoof is not divided,
兔子反芻，偶蹄無趾，對你們仍是不潔的；
7 and also the swine, which, though its hoof is divided, does not chew over again.
豬，牠雖有偶蹄，蹄雖有趾，卻不反芻，對你們仍是不潔的。
8 The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.
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。
9 These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that has little fins and scales, as much in the sea, as in the rivers and ponds, you shall eat.
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；
10 But whatever does not have fins and scales, of those things that live and move in the waters, shall be abominable to you,
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。
11 and detestable; their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall avoid.

其他凡有翅，四足爬行的昆蟲，都是你們所當憎惡的。
24 And whoever will have touched their carcasses shall be defiled, and he shall be unclean until evening.

These shall be dipped in water and shall be defiled until evening, but then afterwards these shall be clean.
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；

43 Do not be willing to contaminate your souls, nor shall you touch any of these, lest you become unclean.
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，
44 For I am the Lord your God. Be holy, for I am Holy. Do not pollute your souls with any creeping thing, which moves across the land.
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，
45 For I am the Lord, who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I would be your God; you shall be holy, for I am Holy.
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。
46 This is the law of animals and flying things, and of every living soul that moves in the waters or creeps upon the land,
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，
47 so that you may know the difference between clean and unclean, and so that you may know what you ought to eat, and what you ought to refuse.
以便分辨潔與不潔，可吃與不可吃的生物。
