Leviticus 11

1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron dicens

And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying unto them:

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

Speak ye unto the sons of Israel saying, —These are the living things which ye may eat, of all the beasts which are upon the earth:

3 omne quod habet divisam ungulam et ruminat in pecoribus comedetis

Whatsoever parteth the hoof and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud among 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 them that chew the cud, and of them that part the hoof, —the camel, because though he, cheweth the cud, yet, the hoof, he parteth not, unclean, he is to you;

5 chyrogryllius qui ruminat ungulamque non dividit inmundus est

And, the coney, because, though he cheweth the cud, yet, the hoof, he parteth not, —unclean, he is to you;

6 lepus quoque nam et ipse ruminat sed ungulam non dividit

And the hare, because though she cheweth the cud, yet the hoof, she parteth not, —unclean, she is to you;

7 et sus qui cum ungulam dividat non ruminat

And, the swine, because though he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, yet, the cud, he cheweth not, —unclean, he is to you;

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

Of their flesh, shall ye not eat, and, their carcase, shall ye not touch, —unclean, they are 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, —all that have fins and scales in the waters, in the seas and in the rivers, them, may ye eat.

10 quicquid 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 all that swarm in the waters, and of all the living souls that are in the waters, an abomination, they are unto you;

11 et execrandum erit carnes eorum non comedetis et morticina vitabitis

and an abomination, shall they remain to you, —of their flesh, ye shall not eat, and their carcases, shall ye abhor.

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

Whatsoever hath not fins and scales in the waters, an abomination, it is unto you.

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

And, these, shall ye abhor of birds, they shall not be eaten, an abomination, they are, —the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey;

14 milvum ac vulturem iuxta genus suum

15 et omne corvini generis in similitudinem suam

every raven, after its kind;

and the swan and the vomiting pelican and the little vulture;

19 erodionem et charadrion iuxta genus suum opupam quoque et vespertilionem

and the stork, and the parrot, after its kind, —and the mountain-cock and the bat.

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

Every creeping thing that flieth, that goeth on all-fours, an abomination, it is unto you.

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

Nevertheless, these, may ye eat, of all creeping things that fly, that go on all-fours, —such as have legs above their feet, to leap therewith, upon the earth—

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

these of them, may ye eat: the swarming-locust after its kind, and the devouring locust after its kind, —and the chargol-locust after its kind, and the chagab-locust after its kind.

23 quicquid autem ex volucribus quattuor tantum habet pedes execrabile erit vobis

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

and, for these, shall ye count yourselves unclean—whosoever 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 inmundus erit usque ad solis occasum

and whosoever beareth away aught 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 inmundum erit et quicquid tetigerit illud contaminabitur

As for every kind of beast which, though it parteth the hoof, yet is not cloven-footed nor cheweth the cud, unclean, they are unto you, —every one who toucheth 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, all that go upon their paws, among all the living things that go on all-fours, unclean, they are unto you, —whoso toucheth the carcase of them, shall be unclean until the evening.

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

and, everything whereon any of them shall fall when they are dead shall be unclean—of any articles of wood, or cloth, or skin, or sackcloth, any article wherewith any work is done, —shall be put in water and shall be unclean until the evening, and then be clean,

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

And, as for any earthen vessel whereinto any of them may fall, everything therein shall be unclean, and, the vessel itself, shall ye break in pieces.

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

Of all the food that may be eaten, that whereon shall come water, shall be unclean, —and, all drink which might be drunk in any [such] vessel, shall be unclean.

And, he that eateth of the carcase of it, shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening, —he also that carrieth away the carcase thereof shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

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

Everything that goeth upon the belly, and everything that goeth upon all-fours, even to everything having many feet, as regardeth any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, ye shall not eat them for, an abomination, they are.

43 nolite contaminare animas vestras nec tangatis quicquam eorum ne inmundi sitis

Do not make your persons abominable, with any creeping thing that creepeth, —neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should become unclean thereby.

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—Yahweh, am your God, therefore shall ye hallow yourselves and remain holy; for, holy, am, I,—therefore shall ye not make your persons unclean, with any creeping thing that crawleth upon the earth;

This, is the law of beast and of bird, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, —and as to every soul that creepeth upon the earth:

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

That ye may make a difference—between the unclean and the clean, —and between the living thing that may be eaten, and the living thing which may not be eaten.
