1Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:
1The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2Dicite filiis Israël: Hæc sunt animalia quæ comedere debetis de cunctis animantibus terræ:
2“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
3omne quod habet divisam ungulam, et ruminat in pecoribus, comedetis.
3Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.
4Quidquid autem ruminat quidem, et habet ungulam, sed non dividit eam, sicut camelus et cetera, non comedetis illud, et inter immunda reputabitis.
4“‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.
5Chœrogryllus qui ruminat, ungulamque non dividit, immundus est.
5The hyrax, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.
6Lepus quoque: nam et ipse ruminat, sed ungulam non dividit.
6The hare, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.
7Et sus: qui cum ungulam dividat, non ruminat.
7The pig, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you.
8Horum carnibus non vescemini, nec cadavera contingetis, quia immunda sunt vobis.
8You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.
9Hæc sunt quæ gignuntur in aquis, et vesci licitum est: omne quod habet pinnulas et squamas, tam in mari quam in fluminibus et stagnis, comedetis.
9“‘You may eat of all these that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.
10Quidquid autem pinnulas et squamas non habet, eorum quæ in aquis moventur et vivunt, abominabile vobis,
10All that don’t have fins and scales in the seas and rivers, all that move in the waters, and all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,
11execrandumque erit: carnes eorum non comedetis, et morticina vitabitis.
11and you shall detest them. You shall not eat of their meat, and you shall detest their carcasses.
12Cuncta quæ non habent pinnulas et squamas in aquis, polluta erunt.
12Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters is an abomination to you.
13Hæc sunt quæ de avibus comedere non debetis, et vitanda sunt vobis: aquilam, et gryphem, et haliæetum,
13“‘You shall detest these among the birds; they shall not be eaten because they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,
14et milvum ac vulturem juxta genus suum,
14the red kite, any kind of black kite,
15et omne corvini generis in similitudinem suam,
15any kind of raven,
16struthionem, et noctuam, et larum, et accipitrem juxta genus suum:
16the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
17bubonem, et mergulum, et ibin,
17the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
18et cygnum, et onocrotalum, et porphyrionem,
18the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
19herodionem, et charadrion juxta genus suum, upupam quoque, et vespertilionem.
19the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20Omne de volucribus quod graditur super quatuor pedes, abominabile erit vobis.
20“‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.
21Quidquid autem ambulat quidem super quatuor pedes, sed habet longiora retro crura, per quæ salit super terram,
21Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have long, jointed legs for hopping on the earth.
22comedere debetis, ut est bruchus in genere suo, et attacus atque ophiomachus, ac locusta, singula juxta genus suum.
22Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.
23Quidquid autem ex volucribus quatuor tantum habet pedes, execrabile erit vobis:
23But all winged creeping things which have four feet are an abomination to you.
24et quicumque morticina eorum tetigerit, polluetur, et erit immundus usque ad vesperum:
24“‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
25et si necesse fuerit ut portet quippiam horum mortuum, lavabit vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad occasum solis.
25Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
26Omne animal quod habet quidem ungulam, sed non dividit eam, nec ruminat, immundum erit: et qui tetigerit illud, contaminabitur.
26“‘Every animal which has a split hoof that isn’t completely divided, or doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
27Quod ambulat super manus ex cunctis animantibus, quæ incedunt quadrupedia, immundum erit: qui tetigerit morticina eorum, polluetur usque ad vesperum.
27Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
28Et qui portaverit hujuscemodi cadavera, lavabit vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum: quia omnia hæc immunda sunt vobis.
28He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.
29Hæc quoque inter polluta reputabuntur de his quæ moventur in terra, mustela et mus et crocodilus, singula juxta genus suum,
29“‘These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,
30mygale, et chamæleon, et stellio, et lacerta, et talpa.
30the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.
31Omnia hæc immunda sunt. Qui tetigerit morticina eorum, immundus erit usque ad vesperum:
31These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.
32et 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.
32Anything they fall on when they are dead shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening. Then it will be clean.
33Vas autem fictile, in quod horum quidquam intro cecidit, polluetur, et idcirco frangendum est.
33Every earthen vessel into which any of them falls and all that is in it shall be unclean. You shall break it.
34Omnis cibus, quem comedetis, si fusa fuerit super eum aqua, immundus erit: et omne liquens quod bibitur de universo vase, immundum erit.
34All food which may be eaten which is soaked in water shall be unclean. All drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
35Et quidquid de morticinis hujuscemodi ceciderit super illud, immundum erit: sive clibani, sive chytropodes, destruentur, et immundi erunt.
35Everything whereupon 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.
36Fontes vero et cisternæ, et omnis aquarum congregatio munda erit. Qui morticinum eorum tetigerit, polluetur.
36Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is gathered shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37Si ceciderit super sementem, non polluet eam.
37If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
38Si autem quispiam aqua sementem perfuderit, et postea morticinis tacta fuerit, illico polluetur.
38But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
39Si mortuum fuerit animal, quod licet vobis comedere, qui cadaver ejus tetigerit, immundus erit usque ad vesperum:
39“‘If any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
40et qui comederit ex eo quippiam, sive portaverit, lavabit vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum.
40He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
41Omne quod reptat super terram, abominabile erit, nec assumetur in cibum.
41“‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.
42Quidquid super pectus quadrupes graditur, et multos habet pedes, sive per humum trahitur, non comedetis, quia abominabile est.
42Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
43Nolite contaminare animas vestras, nec tangatis quidquam eorum, ne immundi sitis.
43You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps. You shall not make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled by them.
44Ego enim sum Dominus Deus vester: sancti estote, quia ego sanctus sum. Ne polluatis animas vestras in omni reptili quod movetur super terram.
44For I am the LORD your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth.
45Ego enim sum Dominus, qui eduxi vos de terra Ægypti, ut essem vobis in Deum. Sancti eritis, quia ego sanctus sum.
45For I am the LORD who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46Ista est lex animantium ac volucrum, et omnis animæ viventis, quæ movetur in aqua, et reptat in terra,
46“‘This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth,
47ut differentias noveritis mundi et immundi, et sciatis quid comedere et quid respuere debeatis.
47to 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.’”
