لاويّين 11

١ 1 وَأَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ:

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

٢ 2 «أَوْصِيَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَذِهِ هِيَ الْحَيَوَانَاتُ الَّتِي تَأْكُلُونَهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ بَهَائِمِ الأَرْضِ:

Say to the children of Israel: These are the animals which you are to eat of all the living things of the earth.

٣ 3 تَأْكُلُونَ كُلَّ حَيَوَانٍ مَشْقُوقِ الظِّلْفِ وَمُجْتَرٍّ،

Whatsoever hath the hoof divided, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, you shall eat.

٤ 4 أَمَّا الْحَيَوَانَاتُ الْمُجْتَرَّةُ فَقَطْ، أَوِ الْمَشْقُوقَةُ الظِّلْفِ فَقَطْ، فَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْهَا، فَالْجَمَلُ غَيْرُ طَاهِرٍ لَكُمْ لأَنَّهُ مُجْتَرٌّ وَلَكِنَّهُ غَيْرُ مَشْقُوقِ الظِّلْفِ،

But whatsoever cheweth indeed the cud, and hath a hoof, but divideth it not, as the camel, and others, that you shall not eat, but shall reckon it among the unclean.

٥ 5 وَكَذَلِكَ الْوَبْرُ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ لأَنَّهُ مُجْتَرٌّ وَلَكِنَّهُ غَيْرُ مَشْقُوقِ الظِّلْفِ،

The cherogrillus which cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof, is unclean.

٦ 6 أَمَّا الأَرْنَبُ فَإِنَّهُ مُجْتَرٌّ وَلَكِنَّهُ غَيْرُ مَشْقُوقِ الظِّلْفِ، لِذَلِكَ هُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ،

The hare also: for that too cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof.

٧ 7 وَالْخِنْزِيرُ أَيْضاً نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ لأَنَّهُ مَشْقُوقُ الظِّلْفِ وَلَكِنَّهُ غَيْرُ مُجْتَرٍّ.

And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof, cheweth not the cud.

٨ 8 لَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ لَحْمِهَا وَلا تَلْمَسُوا جُثَثَهَا لأَنَّهَا نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ.

The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.

٩ 9 أَمَّا مَا يَعِيشُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَتَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ كُلَّ مَالَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَقُشُورٌ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ يَعِيشُ فِي الْبِحَارِ أَمِ الأَنْهَارِ، فَهَذِهِ تَأْكُلُونَهَا.

These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that hath fins, and scales, as well in the sea, as in the rivers, and the pools, you shall eat.

١٠ 10 وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْمَائِيَّةَ الَّتِي لَيْسَ لَهَا زَعَانِفُ أَوْ قُشُورٌ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَتْ تَعِيشُ فِي الأَنْهَارِ أَوِ الْبِحَارِ، أَوِ الزَّوَاحِفَ فِي الْمِيَاهِ، أَوْ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ فِيهَا، فَهَذِهِ كُلُّهَا مَحْظُورَةٌ عَلَيْكُمْ.

But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those things that move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to you,

١١ 11 فَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ لَحْمِهَا وَامْقُتُوا جُثَثَهَا.

And detestable: their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall avoid.

١٢ 12 كُلُّ حَيَوَانٍ مَائِيٍّ خَالٍ مِنَ الزَّعَانِفِ وَالْقُشُورِ يَكُونُ مَحْظُوراً عَلَيْكُمْ.

All that have not fins and scales, in the waters, shall be unclean.

١٣ 13 وَمِنَ الطُّيُورِ الَّتِي يُحَظَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَكْلُهَا لأَنَّهَا مَمْقُوتَةٌ: النَّسْرُ وَالأَنُوقُ وِالصَّقْرُ،

Of birds these are they which you must not eat, and which are to be avoided by you: The eagle, and the griffon, and the osprey,

And all that is of the raven kind, according to their likeness.

The screech owl, and the cormorant, and the ibis,

١٨ 18 وَالْبَجَعُ وَالْقُوقُ وَالرَّخَمُ،

And the swan, and the bittern, and the porphyrion,

١٩ 19 وَاللَّقْلَقُ وَالْبَبْغَاءُ عَلَى اخْتِلافِ أَجْنَاسِهَا، وَالْهُدْهُدُ وَالْخُفَّاشُ.

The heron, and the charadrion according to its kind, the houp also, and the bat.

٢٠ 20 وَكَذَلِكَ تُحَظَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ كُلُّ حَشَرَةٍ مُجَنَّحَةٍ ذَاتِ أَرْبَعِ أَرْجُلٍ.

Of things that fly, whatsoever goeth upon four feet, shall be abominable to you.

٢١ 21 وَلَكِنْ كُلُوا مِنْ بَيْنِ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْمُجَنَّحَةِ الَّتِي تَمْشِي عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ مَالَهُ سَاقَانِ أَطْوَلُ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ يَقْفِزُ بِهِمَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ.

But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the legs behind longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth,

٢٢ 22 فَمِنْ هَذِهِ الْكَائِنَاتِ تَأْكُلُونَ: كُلُّ أَنْوَاعِ الْجَرَادِ، وَجَمِيعُ أَصْنَافِ الدَّبَا وَالحَرْجُوَانُ عَلَى مُخْتَلَفِ أَجْنَاسِهِ وَالْجُنْدُبُ بِأَنْوَاعِهِ

That you shall eat, as the bruchus in its kind, the attacus, and ophiomachus, and the locust, every one according to their kind.

٢٣ 23 أَمَّا سَائِرُ دَبِيبِ الطَّيْرِ ذَوَاتِ الأَرْبَعِ الأَرْجُلِ فَهُوَ مَحْظُورٌ عَلَيْكُمْ،

But of dying things whatsoever hath four feet only, shall be an abomination to you:

٢٤ 24 فَإِنَّهَا تُنَجِّسُكُمْ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَلْمِسُ جُثَثَهَا يَتَنَجَّسُ حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ.

And whosoever shall touch the carcasses of them, shall be defiled, and shall be unclean until the evening:

Every beast that hath a hoof, but divideth it not, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean: and he that toucheth it, shall be defiled.

٢٧ 27 وَأَيْضاً كُلُّ حَيَوَانٍ يَمْشِي عَلَى كُفُوفِهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ ذَوَاتِ الأَرْبَعِ الأَرْجُلِ، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَمَسُّ جُثَثَهَا يَكُونُ نَجِساً حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ،

That which walketh upon hands of all animals which go on all four, shall be unclean: he that shall touch their carcasses shall be defiled until evening.

These also shall be reckoned among unclean things, of all that move upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the crocodile, every one according to their kind:
