Leviticus 11

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

١ وَأَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ:

2 “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.

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

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

٣ تَأْكُلُونَ كُلَّ حَيَوَانٍ مَشْقُوقِ الظِّلْفِ وَمُجْتَرٍّ،

4 “‘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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8 You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.

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

9 “‘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.

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

10 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,

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

١١ فَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ لَحْمِهَا وَامْقُتُوا جُثَثَهَا.

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

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

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

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

14 the red kite, any kind of black kite,

١٤ وَالْحِدَأَةُ وَالْبَاشِقُ عَلَى مُخْتَلَفِ أَصْنَافِهِ،

15 any kind of raven,

١٥ وَكُلُّ أَجْنَاسِ الْغِرْبَانِ،

16 the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,

١٦ وَالنَّعَامَةُ وَالظَّلِيمُ وَالسَّأَفُ وَكُلُّ أَنْوَاعِ طَيْرِ الْبَازِ،

17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,

١٧ وَالْبُومَةُ وَالْغَوَّاصُ وَالْكُرْكِيُّ،

18 the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,

١٨ وَالْبَجَعُ وَالْقُوقُ وَالرَّخَمُ،

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

١٩ وَاللَّقْلَقُ وَالْبَبْغَاءُ عَلَى اخْتِلافِ أَجْنَاسِهَا، وَالْهُدْهُدُ وَالْخُفَّاشُ.

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

٢٠ وَكَذَلِكَ تُحَظَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ كُلُّ حَشَرَةٍ مُجَنَّحَةٍ ذَاتِ أَرْبَعِ أَرْجُلٍ.

21 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.

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

22 Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.

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

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

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

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

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

25 Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

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

26 “‘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.

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

27 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.

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

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

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

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

30 the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.

٣٠ وَالْحِرْذَوْنُ وَالْوَرَلُ وَالْوَزَغَةُ والْعِظَايَةُ وَالْحِرْبَاءُ.

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

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

32 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.

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

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

34 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.

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

35 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.

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

36 Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is gathered shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.

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

37 If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.

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

38 But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.

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

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

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

40 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.

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

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

٤١ ويُحَظَرُ عَلَيْكُمُ الأَكْلُ مِنَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الزَّاحِفَةِ،

42 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.

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

43 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.

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

44 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.

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

45 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.

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

46 “‘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,

٤٦ هَذِهِ هِيَ الشَّرَائِعُ الْخَاصَّةُ بِالْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَالطُّيُورِ وَالْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْمَائِيَّةِ وَالزَّوَاحِفِ،

47 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.’”

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