Leviticus 11
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2 Dicite filiis Israel: Haec sunt animalia quae comedere debetis de cunctis animantibus terrae:
Speak unto 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.
Whatsoever divideth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may 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.
But these shall ye not eat, of those that chew the cud, or of those that divide the hoof: the camel; because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
5 Choerogryllus qui ruminat, ungulamque non dividit, immundus est.
And the cony; because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto 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 unto you.
7 Et sus: qui cum ungulam dividat, non ruminat.
And the swine; because he divideth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean unto you.
8 horum carnibus non vescemini, nec cadavera contingetis, quia immunda sunt vobis.
Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean unto you.
9 Haec sunt quae gignuntur in aquis, et vesci licitum est. Omne quod habet pinnulas et squamas, tam in mari quam in fluminibus et stagnis, comedetis.
These may ye eat, of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them may ye eat.
10 Quidquid autem pinnulas et squamas non habet eorum quae in aquis moventur et vivunt, abominabile vobis,
But all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of whatever moveth in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, shall be an abomination unto you:
11 execrandumque erit, carnes eorum non comedetis, et morticina vitabitis.
And an abomination shall they remain unto you; of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination.
12 Cuncta quae non habent pinnulas et squamas in aquis, polluta erunt.
Whatsoever hath not fins and scales in the waters, shall be an abomination unto you.
13 Haec sunt quae de avibus comedere non debetis, et vitanda sunt vobis: Aquilam, et gryphem, et haliaeetum,
And these shall ye have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: The eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey,
14 et milvum ac vulturem iuxta 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 iuxta genus suum:

19 herodionem, et charadrion iuxta genus suum, upupam quoque, et vespertilionem.
And the stork, the heron after his kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20 Omne de volucribus quod graditur super quattuor pedes, abominabile erit vobis.
All flying insects that walk upon four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
21 Quidquid autem ambulat quidem super quattuor pedes, sed habet longiora retro crura, per quae salit super terram,
Yet these may ye eat, among all the flying insects that walk on four feet, which have spring-legs above their feet, to leap therewith upon the earth.
22 comedere debetis, ut est bruchus in genere suo, et attacus atque ophiomachus, ac locusta, singula iuxta genus suum.
These of them may ye eat: The locust after its kind, and the sol'am after its kind, and the chargol after its kind, and the chagab after its kind.
23 Quidquid autem ex volucribus quattuor tantum habet pedes, execrabile erit vobis:

25 et si necesse fuerit ut portet quippiam horum mortuum, lavabit vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad occasum solis.
And whosoever beareth aught of their carcass 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 quidquid tetigerit illud, contaminabitur.
Every species of beast, which divideth the hoof and is not cloven-footed nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheth the same shall be unclean.

31 omnia haec immunda sunt. Qui tetigerit morticina eorum, immundus erit usque ad vesperum:
These shall be unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever 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 every thing upon which any part of them, when they are dead, doth fall, shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith any work can be done, must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, when it shall be clean.

And every earthen vessel whereinto any part of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and itself shall ye break.

All kinds of food which may be eaten, on which water cometh, shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk, shall be rendered unclean in every vessel.
35 Et quidquid de morticinis huiuscemodi ceciderit super illud, immundum erit: sive clibani, sive chytropodes, destruentur, et immundi erunt.
And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass falleth, shall be unclean; an oven, or ranges for pots, shall be broken down, they are unclean; and unclean shall they be unto you.

40 et qui comederit ex eo quippiam, sive portaverit; lavabit vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum.
And he that eateth of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; he also that beareth its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
41 Omne quod reptat super terram, abominabile erit, nec assumetur in cibum.

Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon four feet, down to whatsoever hath many feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, shall ye 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; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
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 make yourselves unclean with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
45 Ego enim sum Dominus, qui eduxi vos de Terra Aegypti, ut essem vobis in Deum. Sancti eritis, quia ego sanctus sum.
For I am the Lord that have brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

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 distinguish between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
