Leviticus 11
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
2 Dicite filiis Israel: Hæc sunt animalia quæ comedere debetis de cunctis animantibus terræ:
Speak you to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which you shall eat of all beasts that are upon the earth.
3 Omne quod habet divisam ungulam, et ruminat in pecoribus, comedetis.
Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud among beasts, these you shall 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 of these you shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those that part the hoofs, and divide claws; the camel, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
5 Chœrogryllus qui ruminat, ungulamque non dividit, immundus est.
And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
6 Lepus quoque: nam et ipse ruminat, sed ungulam non dividit.
And the hare, because it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
7 Et sus: qui cum ungulam dividat, non ruminat.
And the swine, because this [animal] divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, and it does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.
8 Horum carnibus non vescemini, nec cadavera contingetis, quia immunda sunt vobis.
You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcases; these 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.
And these [are] what you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all things that have fins and scales in the waters, and in the seas, and in the brooks, these you shall eat.
10 Quidquid autem pinnulas et squamas non habet eorum quæ in aquis moventur et vivunt, abominabile vobis,
And all things which have not fins or scales in the water, or in the seas, and in the brooks, of all which the waters produce, and of every soul living in the water, are an abomination; and they shall be abominations to you.
11 execrandumque erit, carnes eorum non comedetis, et morticina vitabitis.
You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall abhor their carcases.
12 Cuncta quæ non habent pinnulas et squamas in aquis, polluta erunt.

20 Omne de volucribus quod graditur super quattuor pedes, abominabile erit vobis.
And all winged creatures that creep, which go upon four feet, are abominations to you.
21 Quidquid autem ambulat quidem super quattuor pedes, sed habet longiora retro crura, per quæ salit super terram,
But these you shall eat of the creeping winged animals, which go upon four feet, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on the earth.
22 comedere debetis, ut est bruchus in genere suo, et attacus atque ophiomachus, ac locusta, singula iuxta genus suum.
