Leviticus 11

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:

And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

2 Dicite filiis Israël: Hæc sunt animalia quæ comedere debetis de cunctis animantibus terræ:

Speak to the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

3 omne quod habet divisam ungulam, et ruminat in pecoribus, comedetis.

Whatever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

4 Quidquid autem ruminat quidem, et habet ungulam, sed non dividit eam, sicut camelus et cetera, non comedetis illud, et inter immunda reputabitis.

Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you.

5 Chœrogryllus qui ruminat, ungulamque non dividit, immundus est.

And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you.

6 Lepus quoque: nam et ipse ruminat, sed ungulam non dividit.

And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you.

7 Et sus: qui cum ungulam dividat, non ruminat.

And the swine, though he divideth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

8 Horum carnibus non vescemini, nec cadavera contingetis, quia immunda sunt vobis.

Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

9 Hæc sunt quæ gignuntur in aquis, et vesci licitum est: omne quod habet pinnulas et squamas, tam in mari quam in fluminibus et stagnis, comedetis.

These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

10 Quidquid autem pinnulas et squamas non habet, eorum quæ in aquis moventur et vivunt, abominabile vobis,

And all that have not fins nor scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living creature which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination to you:

11 execrandumque erit: carnes eorum non comedetis, et morticina vitabitis.

They shall be even an abomination to you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

12 Cuncta quæ non habent pinnulas et squamas in aquis, polluta erunt.

Whatever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination to you.

13 Hæc sunt quæ de avibus comedere non debetis, et vitanda sunt vobis: aquilam, et gryphem, et haliæetum,

And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

14 et milvum ac vulturem juxta genus suum,

And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;

15 et omne corvini generis in similitudinem suam,

Every raven after his kind;

16 struthionem, et noctuam, et larum, et accipitrem juxta genus suum:

And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

17 bubonem, et mergulum, et ibin,

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

18 et cygnum, et onocrotalum, et porphyrionem,

And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,

19 herodionem, et charadrion juxta genus suum, upupam quoque, et vespertilionem.

And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

20 Omne de volucribus quod graditur super quatuor pedes, abominabile erit vobis.

All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination to you.

21 Quidquid autem ambulat quidem super quatuor pedes, sed habet longiora retro crura, per quæ salit super terram,

Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with upon the earth;

22 comedere debetis, ut est bruchus in genere suo, et attacus atque ophiomachus, ac locusta, singula juxta genus suum.

Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

23 Quidquid autem ex volucribus quatuor tantum habet pedes, execrabile erit vobis:

But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination to you.

24 et quicumque morticina eorum tetigerit, polluetur, et erit immundus usque ad vesperum:

And for these ye shall be unclean: whoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the evening.

25 et si necesse fuerit ut portet quippiam horum mortuum, lavabit vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad occasum solis.

And whoever beareth any of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

26 Omne animal quod habet quidem ungulam, sed non dividit eam, nec ruminat, immundum erit: et qui tetigerit illud, contaminabitur.

The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean to you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

27 Quod ambulat super manus ex cunctis animantibus, quæ incedunt quadrupedia, immundum erit: qui tetigerit morticina eorum, polluetur usque ad vesperum.

And whatever goeth upon its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean to you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the evening.

28 Et qui portaverit hujuscemodi cadavera, lavabit vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum: quia omnia hæc immunda sunt vobis.

And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: they are unclean to you.

29 Hæc quoque inter polluta reputabuntur de his quæ moventur in terra, mustela et mus et crocodilus, singula juxta genus suum,

These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind,

30 mygale, et chamæleon, et stellio, et lacerta, et talpa.

And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.

31 Omnia hæc immunda sunt. Qui tetigerit morticina eorum, immundus erit usque ad vesperum:

These are unclean to you among all that creep: whoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.

32 et super quod ceciderit quidquam de morticinis eorum, polluetur, tam vas ligneum et vestimentum, quam pelles et cilicia: et in quocumque fit opus, tingentur aqua, et polluta erunt usque ad vesperum, et sic postea mundabuntur.

And upon whatever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, in which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.

33 Vas autem fictile, in quod horum quidquam intro cecidit, polluetur, et idcirco frangendum est.

And every earthen vessel, into which any of them falleth, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.

34 Omnis cibus, quem comedetis, si fusa fuerit super eum aqua, immundus erit: et omne liquens quod bibitur de universo vase, immundum erit.

Of all food which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.

35 Et quidquid de morticinis hujuscemodi ceciderit super illud, immundum erit: sive clibani, sive chytropodes, destruentur, et immundi erunt.

And every thing on which any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether an oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.

36 Fontes vero et cisternæ, et omnis aquarum congregatio munda erit. Qui morticinum eorum tetigerit, polluetur.

Nevertheless a fountain or pit, in which there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

37 Si ceciderit super sementem, non polluet eam.

And if any part of their carcase shall fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.

38 Si autem quispiam aqua sementem perfuderit, et postea morticinis tacta fuerit, illico polluetur.

But if any water shall be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase shall fall on it, it shall be unclean to you.

39 Si mortuum fuerit animal, quod licet vobis comedere, qui cadaver ejus tetigerit, immundus erit usque ad vesperum:

And if any beast, of which ye may eat, shall die; he that toucheth its carcase shall be unclean until the evening.

40 et qui comederit ex eo quippiam, sive portaverit, lavabit vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum.

And he that eateth of its carcase shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: he also that beareth its carcase shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

41 Omne quod reptat super terram, abominabile erit, nec assumetur in cibum.

And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

42 Quidquid super pectus quadrupes graditur, et multos habet pedes, sive per humum trahitur, non comedetis, quia abominabile est.

Whatever goeth upon the belly, and whatever goeth upon all four, or whatever hath many feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

43 Nolite contaminare animas vestras, nec tangatis quidquam eorum, ne immundi sitis.

Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled by them.

44 Ego enim sum Dominus Deus vester: sancti estote, quia ego sanctus sum. Ne polluatis animas vestras in omni reptili quod movetur super terram.

For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

45 Ego enim sum Dominus, qui eduxi vos de terra Ægypti, ut essem vobis in Deum. Sancti eritis, quia ego sanctus sum.

For I am the LORD that bringeth you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

46 Ista est lex animantium ac volucrum, et omnis animæ viventis, quæ movetur in aqua, et reptat in terra,

This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:

47 ut differentias noveritis mundi et immundi, et sciatis quid comedere et quid respuere debeatis.

To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
