Leviticus 11

1 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,

١ وَأَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ:

2 “Give these instructions to the Israelites. These are the animals you are allowed to eat:

٢ «أَوْصِيَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَذِهِ هِيَ الْحَيَوَانَاتُ الَّتِي تَأْكُلُونَهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ بَهَائِمِ الأَرْضِ:

3 any animal that both has a divided hoof and also chews the cud.

٣ تَأْكُلُونَ كُلَّ حَيَوَانٍ مَشْقُوقِ الظِّلْفِ وَمُجْتَرٍّ،

4 However, if it either chews the cud, or has a divided hoof, then you may not eat it. These include: the camel, which though it chews the cud doesn't have a divided hoof, so it is unclean for you.

٤ أَمَّا الْحَيَوَانَاتُ الْمُجْتَرَّةُ فَقَطْ، أَوِ الْمَشْقُوقَةُ الظِّلْفِ فَقَطْ، فَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْهَا، فَالْجَمَلُ غَيْرُ طَاهِرٍ لَكُمْ لأَنَّهُ مُجْتَرٌّ وَلَكِنَّهُ غَيْرُ مَشْقُوقِ الظِّلْفِ،

5 The rock hyrax, which though it chews the cud doesn't have a divided hoof, so it is unclean for you.

٥ وَكَذَلِكَ الْوَبْرُ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ لأَنَّهُ مُجْتَرٌّ وَلَكِنَّهُ غَيْرُ مَشْقُوقِ الظِّلْفِ،

6 The hare, which though it chews the cud doesn't have a divided hoof, so it is unclean for you.

٦ أَمَّا الأَرْنَبُ فَإِنَّهُ مُجْتَرٌّ وَلَكِنَّهُ غَيْرُ مَشْقُوقِ الظِّلْفِ، لِذَلِكَ هُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ،

7 The pig, which though it has a divided hoof doesn't chew the cud, so it is unclean for you.

٧ وَالْخِنْزِيرُ أَيْضاً نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ لأَنَّهُ مَشْقُوقُ الظِّلْفِ وَلَكِنَّهُ غَيْرُ مُجْتَرٍّ.

8 You are not to eat their meat or touch their bead bodies. They are unclean for you.

٨ لَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ لَحْمِهَا وَلا تَلْمَسُوا جُثَثَهَا لأَنَّهَا نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ.

9 You are allowed to eat any creature with fins and scales that lives in the water, whether in the sea or in fresh water.

٩ أَمَّا مَا يَعِيشُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَتَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ كُلَّ مَالَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَقُشُورٌ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ يَعِيشُ فِي الْبِحَارِ أَمِ الأَنْهَارِ، فَهَذِهِ تَأْكُلُونَهَا.

10 But you are not allowed to eat any of the many creatures that don't have fins and scales that live in the water, whether in the sea or in fresh water.

١٠ وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْمَائِيَّةَ الَّتِي لَيْسَ لَهَا زَعَانِفُ أَوْ قُشُورٌ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَتْ تَعِيشُ فِي الأَنْهَارِ أَوِ الْبِحَارِ، أَوِ الزَّوَاحِفَ فِي الْمِيَاهِ، أَوْ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ فِيهَا، فَهَذِهِ كُلُّهَا مَحْظُورَةٌ عَلَيْكُمْ.

11 They are repulsive. You must not eat their meat, and you must treat their dead bodies as repulsive.

١١ فَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ لَحْمِهَا وَامْقُتُوا جُثَثَهَا.

12 All such water creatures that don't have fins and scales are to be repulsive to you.

١٢ كُلُّ حَيَوَانٍ مَائِيٍّ خَالٍ مِنَ الزَّعَانِفِ وَالْقُشُورِ يَكُونُ مَحْظُوراً عَلَيْكُمْ.

13 As for the birds, these must not be eaten because they are repulsive: eagle, griffon vulture, bearded vulture,

١٣ وَمِنَ الطُّيُورِ الَّتِي يُحَظَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَكْلُهَا لأَنَّهَا مَمْقُوتَةٌ: النَّسْرُ وَالأَنُوقُ وِالصَّقْرُ،

14 buzzard, kite and similar birds of prey,

١٤ وَالْحِدَأَةُ وَالْبَاشِقُ عَلَى مُخْتَلَفِ أَصْنَافِهِ،

15 any raven or crow,

١٥ وَكُلُّ أَجْنَاسِ الْغِرْبَانِ،

16 tawny owl, long-eared owl, gulls, any kind of hawk,

١٦ وَالنَّعَامَةُ وَالظَّلِيمُ وَالسَّأَفُ وَكُلُّ أَنْوَاعِ طَيْرِ الْبَازِ،

17 little owl, fish owl, eagle owl,

١٧ وَالْبُومَةُ وَالْغَوَّاصُ وَالْكُرْكِيُّ،

18 barn owl, desert owl, Egyptian vulture,

١٨ وَالْبَجَعُ وَالْقُوقُ وَالرَّخَمُ،

19 storks and any kind of heron, hoopoe, and bats.

١٩ وَاللَّقْلَقُ وَالْبَبْغَاءُ عَلَى اخْتِلافِ أَجْنَاسِهَا، وَالْهُدْهُدُ وَالْخُفَّاشُ.

20 All flying insects that crawl are repulsive to you.

٢٠ وَكَذَلِكَ تُحَظَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ كُلُّ حَشَرَةٍ مُجَنَّحَةٍ ذَاتِ أَرْبَعِ أَرْجُلٍ.

21 But you can eat the following kinds of flying insects that crawl: those that have jointed legs they use to jump.

٢١ وَلَكِنْ كُلُوا مِنْ بَيْنِ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْمُجَنَّحَةِ الَّتِي تَمْشِي عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ مَالَهُ سَاقَانِ أَطْوَلُ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ يَقْفِزُ بِهِمَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ.

22 So in this category you can eat any kind of locust, bald locust, cricket, or grasshopper.

٢٢ فَمِنْ هَذِهِ الْكَائِنَاتِ تَأْكُلُونَ: كُلُّ أَنْوَاعِ الْجَرَادِ، وَجَمِيعُ أَصْنَافِ الدَّبَا وَالحَرْجُوَانُ عَلَى مُخْتَلَفِ أَجْنَاسِهِ وَالْجُنْدُبُ بِأَنْوَاعِهِ

23 All other flying insects that crawl are repulsive to you,

٢٣ أَمَّا سَائِرُ دَبِيبِ الطَّيْرِ ذَوَاتِ الأَرْبَعِ الأَرْجُلِ فَهُوَ مَحْظُورٌ عَلَيْكُمْ،

24 and will make you unclean. If you touch their dead bodies you will be unclean until the evening,

٢٤ فَإِنَّهَا تُنَجِّسُكُمْ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَلْمِسُ جُثَثَهَا يَتَنَجَّسُ حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ.

25 and if you pick up one of their dead bodies you must wash your clothes, and you will be unclean until the evening.

٢٥ وَعَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ حَمَلَ جُثَثَهَا أَنْ يَغْسِلَ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِساً حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ،

26 Every animal with hooves that are not divided, or that does not chew the cud, is unclean for you. If you touch any of them you will be unclean.

٢٦ وَكَذَلِكَ جَمِيعُ الْبَهَائِمِ ذَوَاتِ الأَظْلافِ غَيْرِ الْمَشْقُوقَةِ وَغَيْرِ الْمُجْتَرَّةِ تَكُونُ نَجِسَةً لَكُمْ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَلْمِسُهَا يَتَنَجَّسُ.

27 Any four-legged animal that walks on its paws are unclean for you. If you touch their dead bodies you will be unclean until the evening,

٢٧ وَأَيْضاً كُلُّ حَيَوَانٍ يَمْشِي عَلَى كُفُوفِهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ ذَوَاتِ الأَرْبَعِ الأَرْجُلِ، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَمَسُّ جُثَثَهَا يَكُونُ نَجِساً حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ،

28 and if you pick up one of their dead bodies you must wash your clothes, and you will be unclean until the evening. They are unclean for you.

٢٨ وَمَنْ يَحْمِلُ جُثَثَهَا يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ. جَمِيعُهَا مَحْظُورَةٌ عَلَيْكُمْ.

29 The following animals that run along the ground are unclean for you: rats, mice, any kind of large lizard,

٢٩ أَمَّا الْحَيَوَانَاتُ الدَّابَةُ حَوْلَكُمْ فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ وَالْمَحْظُورَةُ عَلَيْكُمْ لِنَجَاسَتِهَا فَهِيَ: ابْنُ عِرْسٍ وَالْفَأْرُ وَالضَّبُّ عَلَى مُخْتَلَفِ أَجْنَاسِهِ،

30 gecko, monitor lizard, wall lizard, skinks, and chameleon.

٣٠ وَالْحِرْذَوْنُ وَالْوَرَلُ وَالْوَزَغَةُ والْعِظَايَةُ وَالْحِرْبَاءُ.

31 These animals that run along the ground are unclean for you. If you touch a dead one of them you will be unclean until the evening.

٣١ هَذِهِ هِيَ الْحَيَوَانَاتُ النَّجِسَةُ لَكُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الدَّابَةِ. كُلُّ مَنْ لَمَسَهَا يَكُونُ نَجِساً حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ.

32 Anything that one of them dies and lands on becomes unclean. Whatever it is—something made of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any work tool—it must be washed with water and will be unclean until the evening. Then it will become clean.

٣٢ إِنْ وَقَعَتْ جُثَّةُ أَحَدِ هَذِهِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ عَلَى شَيْءٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَتَنَجَّسُ، سَوَاءٌ أَكَانَ آنِيَةً مِنْ خَشَبٍ أَمْ قُمَاشٍ أَمْ جِلْدٍ أَمْ مِسْحٍ، أَمْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ يُسْتَخْدَمُ فِي عَمَلٍ مَا. يُوْضَعُ فِي مَاءٍ وَيَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ، ثُمَّ يَطْهُرُ.

33 If one of them falls into a clay pot, all that's in it becomes unclean. You must smash the pot.

٣٣ أَمَّا إِنْ وَقَعَتْ جُثَّةُ أَحَدِهَا فِي إِنَاءٍ خَزَفِيٍّ، فَإِنَّ مَا فِي الإِنَاءِ يَتَنَجَّسُ، وَأَمَّا الإِنَاءُ فَيُكْسَرُ.

34 If water from that pot touches any food, that food becomes unclean, and any drink from a pot like that also becomes unclean.

٣٤ وَأَيُّ طَعَامٍ يُؤْكَلُ اسْتُخْدِمَ فِيهِ مَاءٌ مِنْ هَذَا الإِنَاءِ يَكُونُ نَجِساً. وَكَذَلِكَ يَكُونُ مَاؤُهُ الَّذِي يُشْرَبُ أَيْضاً.

35 Anything that one of their dead bodies falls on becomes unclean. If it's an oven or a stove, it must be smashed. It is permanently unclean for you.

٣٥ وَإذَا سَقَطَتْ جُثَّةُ أَحَدِ هَذِهِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ فِي التَّنُّورِ أَوِ الْمَوْقِدِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُهْدَمُ، لأَنَّهُ نَجِسٌ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهِ تَتَنَجَّسُونَ.

36 On the other hand, if it's a spring or cistern containing water then it will remain clean, but if you touch one of these dead bodies in it you will be unclean.

٣٦ أَمَّا إِنْ سَقَطَتْ فِي نَبْعٍ أَوْ بِئْرٍ حَيْثُ يَجْتَمِعُ الْمَاءُ، فَإِنَّهُمَا تَظَلّانِ طَاهِرَتَيْنِ. لَكِنْ كُلُّ مَنْ لَمَسَ جُثَّتَهَا يَكُونُ نَجِساً.

37 Similarly, if one of their dead bodies falls on any seed used for sowing, the seed remains clean;

٣٧ وَإذَا وَقَعَتْ جُثَّةُ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا عَلَى حُبُوبٍ يَبْذُرُونَهَا فِي حَقْلٍ، فَإِنَّهَا تَبْقَى طَاهِرَةً.

38 but if the seed has been soaked in water and one of their dead bodies falls on it, it is unclean for you.

٣٨ لَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْحُبُوبُ مُبْتَلَّةً بِمَاءٍ وَسَقَطَتِ الْجُثَّةُ عَلَيْهَا، فَإِنَّ الْحُبُوبَ الْمُبْتَلَّةَ تُصْبِحُ نَجِسَةً لَكُمْ.

39 If an animal that you are allowed to eat dies, anyone who touches the dead body will be unclean until the evening.

٣٩ إِنْ مَاتَ حَيَوَانٌ لَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَكْلُهُ، وَلَمَسَ أَحَدٌ جُثَّتَهُ، فَاللّامِسُ يَكُونُ نَجِساً حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ.

40 If you eat anything from the dead body you must wash your clothes and you will be unclean until the evening. If you pick up the dead body you must wash your clothes and you will be unclean until the evening.

٤٠ وَعَلَى مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ جُثَّتِهِ أَوْ حَمَلَهَا أَنْ يَغْسِلَ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ.

41 Every animal that crawls along the ground is repulsive—you must not eat it.

٤١ ويُحَظَرُ عَلَيْكُمُ الأَكْلُ مِنَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الزَّاحِفَةِ،

42 Don't eat any animal that crawls along the ground, whether it moves on its belly or walks on four feet or many feet. All such animals are repulsive.

٤٢ سَوَاءٌ كَانَتْ تَزْحَفُ عَلَى بَطْنِهَا أَوْ تَدِبُّ عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ فَإِنَّهَا مَحْظُورَةٌ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْهَا.

43 Don't defile yourselves by any such crawling animal. Don't make yourselves unclean or defiled by them,

٤٣ لَا تُدَنِّسُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِالْحَيَوَانَاتِ الدَّابَةِ هَذِهِ، وَلا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِها. كُونُوا طَاهِرِينَ.

44 because I am the Lord your God; so dedicate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Don't defile yourselves by any animal that crawls along the ground.

٤٤ أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، فَكَرِّسُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَتَقَدَّسُوا، لأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ، وَلا تُنَجِّسُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الدَّبِيبِ الْمُتَحَرِّكِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.

45 I am the Lord who led you out of Egypt so that I could be your God. So be holy, because I am holy.

٤٥ لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ لأَكُونَ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً. فَكُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ لأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ.

46 These are the regulations about animals, birds, everything that lives in the water, and all animals that crawl along the ground.

٤٦ هَذِهِ هِيَ الشَّرَائِعُ الْخَاصَّةُ بِالْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَالطُّيُورِ وَالْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْمَائِيَّةِ وَالزَّوَاحِفِ،

47 You must recognize the difference between unclean and clean, between those animals that can be eaten and those that can't.”

٤٧ لِكَيْ تُمَيِّزُوا بَيْنَ النَّجِسِ وَالطَّاهِرِ، وَبَيْنَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الَّتِي تُؤْكَلُ وَالْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْمَحْظُورِ أَكْلُهَا».
