Leviticus 11

1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron dicens

And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

2 dicite filiis Israhel haec sunt animalia quae comedere debetis de cunctis animantibus terrae

Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the living things 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 parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.

4 quicquid autem ruminat quidem et habet ungulam sed non dividit eam sicut camelus et cetera non comedetis illud et inter inmunda reputabitis

Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those that part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you.

5 chyrogryllius qui ruminat ungulamque non dividit inmundus est

And the coney, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you.

6 lepus quoque nam et ipse ruminat sed ungulam non dividit

And the hare, because she chews the cud but does not part the hoof, she is unclean to you.

7 et sus qui cum ungulam dividat non ruminat

And the swine, because he parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you.

8 horum carnibus non vescemini nec cadavera contingetis quia inmunda sunt vobis

Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch, they are unclean to 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: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that may ye eat.

10 quicquid autem pinnulas et squamas non habet eorum quae in aquis moventur et vivunt abominabile vobis

And all that have no fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,

11 et execrandum erit carnes eorum non comedetis et morticina vitabitis

and they shall be an abomination to you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination.

12 cuncta quae non habent pinnulas et squamas in aquis polluta erunt

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

13 haec sunt quae de avibus comedere non debetis et vitanda sunt vobis aquilam et grypem et alietum

And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds, they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey,

14 milvum ac vulturem iuxta genus suum

and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,

15 et omne corvini generis in similitudinem suam

every raven after its kind,

16 strutionem et noctuam et larum et accipitrem iuxta genus suum

and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-gull, and the hawk after its kind,

17 bubonem et mergulum et ibin

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

18 cycnum et onocrotalum et porphirionem

and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture,

19 erodionem et charadrion iuxta genus suum opupam quoque et vespertilionem

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

20 omne de volucribus quod graditur super quattuor pedes abominabile erit vobis

All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination to you.

21 quicquid autem ambulat quidem super quattuor pedes sed habet longiora retro crura per quae salit super terram

Yet these ye may eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to leap upon the earth,

22 comedere debetis ut est brucus in genere suo et attacus atque ophiomachus ac lucusta singula iuxta genus suum

even these of them ye may 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 quicquid autem ex volucribus quattuor tantum habet pedes execrabile erit vobis

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

24 et quicumque morticina eorum tetigerit polluetur et erit inmundus usque ad vesperum

and by these ye shall become unclean. Whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.

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

And whoever bears any of the carcass 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 inmundum erit et quicquid tetigerit illud contaminabitur

Every beast which parts the hoof, and is not cloven footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.

27 quod ambulat super manus ex cunctis animantibus quae incedunt quadrupedia inmundum erit qui tetigerit morticina eorum polluetur usque ad vesperum

And whatever goes upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

28 et qui portaverit huiuscemodi cadavera lavabit vestimenta sua et inmundus erit usque ad vesperum quia omnia haec inmunda sunt vobis

And he who bears the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.

29 hoc quoque inter polluta reputabitur de his quae moventur in terra mustela et mus et corcodillus singula iuxta genus suum

And these are those which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,

30 migale et cameleon et stelio ac lacerta et talpa

and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.

31 omnia haec inmunda sunt qui tetigerit morticina eorum inmundus erit usque ad vesperum

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

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

And upon whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean, whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack. Whatever vessel it be, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, then it shall be clean.

33 vas autem fictile in quo horum quicquam intro ceciderit polluetur et idcirco frangendum est

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

34 omnis cibus quem comeditis si fusa fuerit super eum aqua inmundus erit et omne liquens quod bibitur de universo vase inmundum erit

All food therein which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean, and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.

35 et quicquid de morticinis istiusmodi ceciderit super illud inmundum erit sive clibani sive cytropodes destruentur et inmundi erunt

And everything upon which any 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.

36 fontes vero et cisternae et omnis aquarum congregatio munda erit qui morticinum eorum tetigerit polluetur

Nevertheless a fountain or a pit in which is a gathering of water shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.

37 si ceciderint super sementem non polluent eam

And if any of their carcass falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.

38 sin autem quispiam aqua sementem perfuderit et postea morticinis tacta fuerit ilico polluetur

But if water is put upon the seed, and any of their carcass falls in it, it is unclean to you.

39 si mortuum fuerit animal quod licet vobis comedere qui cadaver eius tetigerit inmundus erit usque ad vesperum

And if any beast, of which ye may eat, dies, he who touches the carcass of it shall be unclean until the evening.

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

And he who eats of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who bears the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

41 omne quod reptat super terram abominabile erit nec adsumetur in cibum

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

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

Whatever goes upon the belly, and whatever goes upon all fours, or whatever has many feet, even 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 quicquam eorum ne inmundi sitis

Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, nor shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled by it.

44 ego enim sum Dominus Deus vester sancti estote quoniam et ego sanctus sum ne polluatis animas vestras in omni reptili quod movetur super terram

For I am Jehovah your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and become ye holy, since I am holy. Neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moves upon the earth.

45 ego sum Dominus qui eduxi vos de terra Aegypti ut essem vobis in Deum sancti eritis quia et ego sanctus sum

For I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. Ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

46 ista est lex animantium et volucrum et omnis animae viventis quae movetur in aqua et reptat in terra

This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps upon the earth,

47 ut differentias noveritis mundi et inmundi et sciatis quid comedere et quid respuere debeatis

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.
