Lévitique 11

1 Le Seigneur parla encore à Moïse et à Aaron, disant:

And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

2 Dites aux enfants d’Israël: Voici les animaux que vous devez manger, d’entre tous les animaux de la terre:

“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, This [is] the beast which you eat out of all the beasts which [are] on the earth:

3 Tout ce qui a l’ongle fendu et qui rumine parmi les bêtes, vous en mangerez.

any dividing a hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.

4 Pour tout ce qui rumine et qui a un ongle, mais qui ne l’a pas fendu, comme le chameau et tous les autres, vous n’en mangerez point, et vous le compterez parmi les bêtes impures.

Only, this you do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the hoof: the camel, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof is not dividing—it [is] unclean to you;

5 Le chérogrylle qui rumine, mais qui n’a point l’ongle fendu, est impur.

and the hyrax, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof is not divided—it [is] unclean to you;

6 Le lièvre également; car il rumine, lui aussi, mais il n’a pas l’ongle fendu.

and the hare, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof has not divided—it [is] unclean to you;

7 Le pourceau encore, qui quoiqu’il ait l’ongle fendu, ne rumine point.

and the sow, though it is dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoof, yet it does not bring up the cud—it [is] unclean to you.

8 Vous ne mangerez point de la chair de ces bêtes, et vous ne toucherez point leurs corps morts, parce qu’ils sont impurs pour vous.

You do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass—they [are] unclean to you.

9 Voici les bêtes qui sont engendrées dans les eaux, et dont il est permis de manger. Tout ce qui a des nageoires et des écailles, tant dans la mer que dans les rivières et dans les étangs, vous en mangerez.

This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the brooks, them you eat;

10 Mais tout ce qui n’a pas de nageoires et d’écaillés dans ce qui se meut et vit dans les eaux, vous sera abominable,

and anything that does not have fins and scales in the seas, and in the brooks, of any teeming creature of the waters, and of any creature which lives, which [is] in the waters—they [are] an abomination to you;

11 Et vous l’aurez en exécration; vous n’en mangerez point la chair et vous éviterez leurs corps morts.

indeed, they are an abomination to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you detest their carcass.

12 Tout ce qui n’a pas de nageoires et d’écaillés dans les eaux sera impur.

Anything that does not have fins and scales in the waters—it [is] an abomination to you.

13 Voici ceux des oiseaux que vous ne devez pas manger, et qui sont à éviter pour vous: l’aigle, le griffon, l’aigle de mer,

And these you detest of the bird—they are not eaten, they [are] an abomination: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,

14 Le milan, le vautour, selon son espèce;

and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,

15 Tout ce qui dans l’espèce du corbeau est à sa ressemblance:

every raven after its kind,

16 L’autruche, le hibou, le larus, l’épervier selon son espèce;

and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,

17 Le chat-huant, le plongeon, l’ibis,

and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

18 Le cygne, l’onocrotale, le porphyrion,

and the waterhen, and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture,

19 Le héron, le pluvier selon son espèce; la huppe et la chauve-souris.

and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

20 Tout ce qui d’entre les volatiles, marche sur quatre pieds, vous sera abominable.

Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four [legs]—it [is] an abomination to you.

21 Tout ce qui au contraire marche, à la vérité, sur quatre pieds, mais a les jambes de derrière plus longues, avec lesquelles il saute sur la terre,

Only, this you eat of any teeming thing which is flying, which is going on four, which has legs above its feet, to move with them on the earth;

22 Vous devez en manger; tel est le bruchus dans son espèce, l’attachus, l’ophiomachus, la sauterelle, chacun selon son espèce.

these of them you eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind;

23 Mais tout ce qui d’entre les volatiles a seulement quatre pieds vous sera en exécration;

and every teeming thing which is flying, which has four feet—it [is] an abomination to you.

24 Et quiconque touchera leurs corps morts, sera souillé, et il sera impur jusqu’au soir;

And you are made unclean by these; anyone who is coming against their carcass is unclean until the evening;

25 Et s’il est nécessaire qu’il porte quelqu’un de ces animaux mort, il lavera ses vêtements, et il sera impur jusqu’au coucher du soleil.

and anyone who is lifting up of their carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening—

26 Tout animal qui a un ongle, mais qui ne l’a pas fendu et qui ne rumine pas, est impur; et celui qui le touchera sera souillé.

even every beast which is dividing the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, and is not bringing up the cud—they [are] unclean to you; anyone who is coming against them is unclean.

27 Ce qui marche sur quatre mains, d’entre tous les animaux quadrupèdes qui marchent, sera impur: celui qui touchera leurs corps morts sera souillé jusqu’au soir.

And anything going on its paws, among all the beasts which are going on four—they [are] unclean to you; anyone who is coming against their carcass is unclean until the evening;

28 Et celui qui portera des corps morts de cette sorte, lavera ses vêtements, et il sera impur jusqu’au soir, parce que toutes ces choses sont immondes pour vous.

and he who is lifting up their carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening—they [are] unclean to you.

29 Vous compterez aussi parmi les choses souillées d’entre les animaux qui se meuvent sur la terre, la belette, le rat et le crocodile, chacun selon son espèce;

And this [is] the unclean to you among the teeming things which are teeming on the earth: the weasel, and the muroid, and the tortoise [[or large lizard]] after its kind,

30 La musaraigne, le caméléon, le stellion, le lézard et la taupe.

and the gecko [[or ferret]], and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole;

31 Tout ces animaux sont impurs. Celui qui touchera leurs corps morts sera impur jusqu’au soir;

these [are] the unclean to you among all which are teeming; anyone who is coming against them in their death is unclean until the evening.

32 Et sur quoi que ce soit que tombe quelque chose de leurs corps morts, il sera souillé; que ce soit un vase de bois, ou un vêtement, ou des peaux et des cilices; et tous les objets avec lesquels se fait quelque ouvrage, seront lavés dans l’eau, et seront souillés jusqu’au soir, et de cette manière ils seront ensuite purifiés.

And anything on which anyone of them falls, in their death, is unclean, of any vessel of wood or garment or skin or sack, any vessel in which work is done is brought into water, and has been unclean until the evening, then it has been clean;

33 Mais le vase de terre dans l’intérieur duquel quelqu’une de ces choses sera tombée, sera souillé; il doit être brisé.

and any earthen vessel, into the midst of which [any] one of them falls, all that [is] in its midst is unclean, and you break it.

34 Tout aliment que vous mangerez, s’il se répand de l’eau sur lui, sera impur; et toute liqueur qui se boit dans un vase quelconque, sera impure.

Of all the food which is eaten, that on which comes [such] water, is unclean, and all drink which is drunk in any [such] vessel is unclean;

35 Et tout ce qui de tels corps morts tombera sur le vase, sera impur; que ce soient des fours, ou des marmites, ils seront brisés et ils seront impurs.

and anything on which [any] of their carcass falls is unclean; oven or double pots, it is broken down, they [are] unclean, indeed, they are unclean to you.

36 Mais les fontaines et les citernes et tout réservoir d’eaux sera pur. Celui qui touchera le corps mort de ces animaux, sera souillé.

Only, a fountain or pit, a collection of water, is clean, but that which is coming against their carcass is unclean;

37 S’il tombe sur la semence, il ne la souillera pas.

and when [any] of their carcass falls on any sown seed which is sown—it [is] clean;

38 Mais si quelqu’un répand de l’eau sur la semence, et qu’après cela elle soit touchée par les corps morts, elle sera aussitôt souillée.

and when water is put on the seed, and [any] of its carcass has fallen on it—it [is] unclean to you.

39 S’il meurt un animal qu’il vous est permis de manger, celui qui touchera son corps sera impur jusqu’au soir;

And when any of the beasts which are for food for you dies, he who is coming against its carcass is unclean until the evening;

40 Et celui qui en mangera quelque chose ou en portera, lavera ses vêtements et sera impur jusqu’au soir.

and he who is eating of its carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening; and he who is lifting up its carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening.

41 Tout ce qui rampe sur la terre sera abominable; et l’on n’en prendra point pour nourriture.

And every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth is an abomination, it is not eaten;

42 Tout ce qui étant quadrupède, et ce qui ayant beaucoup de pieds marche sur la poitrine, ou se traîne sur la terre, vous n’en mangerez point, parce qu’il est abominable.

anything going on the belly, and any going on four, to every multiplier of feet, to every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth—you do not eat them, for they [are] an abomination;

43 Ne souillez point vos âmes, et ne touchez aucune de ces choses, de peur que vous ne soyez impurs.

you do not make yourselves abominable with any teeming thing which is teeming, nor do you make yourselves unclean with them, so that you have been unclean with them.

44 Car c’est moi qui suis le Seigneur votre Dieu: soyez saints, parce que moi, je suis saint. Ne souillez point vos âmes par aucun reptile qui se meut sur la terre.

For I [am] your God YHWH, and you have sanctified yourselves, and you have been holy, for I [am] holy; and you do not defile your persons with any teeming thing which is creeping on the earth;

45 Car c’est moi qui suis le Seigneur qui vous ai retirés de la terre d’Egypte, afin que je fusse Dieu pour vous. Soyez saints, parce que moi, je suis saint.

for I [am] YHWH who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt to become your God; and you have been holy, for I [am] holy.

46 Telle est la loi des animaux et des volatiles et de toute âme vivante, qui se meut dans l’eau, et qui rampe sur la terre;

This [is] a law of the beasts, and of the bird, and of every living creature which is moving in the waters, and of every creature which is teeming on the earth,

47 Afin que vous connaissiez les différences de ce qui est pur et impur, et que vous sachiez ce que vous devez manger et ce que vous devez rejeter

to make separation between the unclean and the pure, and between the beast that is eaten, and the beast that is not eaten.”
