1耶和華對摩西、亞倫說:The LORD spoke again to Moses and Aaron, telling them,

2「你們曉諭以色列人說,在地上一切走獸中可吃的乃是這些:“Say to the Israelites, ‘Of all the beasts of the earth, these ones you may eat:

3凡的走獸,你們都可以吃。You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud.

4但那倒嚼或分蹄之中不可吃的乃是:駱駝─因為倒嚼不分蹄,就與你們不潔淨;But of those that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, you are not to eat the following: The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.

5─因為倒嚼不分蹄,就與你們不潔淨;The rock badger, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.

6兔子─因為倒嚼不分蹄,就與你們不潔淨;The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.

7─因為蹄分兩瓣,卻不倒嚼,就與你們不潔淨。And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.

8這些獸的肉,你們不可吃;死的,你們不可摸,都與你們不潔淨。You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.

9「水中可吃的乃是這些:凡在水裡、海裡、河裡、有翅有鱗的,都可以吃。Of all the creatures that live in the water, whether in the seas or in the streams, you may eat anything with fins and scales.

10凡在海裡、河裡,並一切水裡游動的活物,無翅無鱗的,你們都當以為。But the following among all the teeming life and creatures in the water are detestable to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales.

11這些無翅無鱗、以為可憎的,你們不可吃牠的肉;死的也當以為可憎。They shall be an abomination to you; you must not eat their meat, and you must detest their carcasses.

12凡水裡無翅無鱗的,你們都當以為可憎。Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales shall be detestable to you.

19鸛、鷺鷥與其類;與蝙蝠。the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

20「凡有翅膀用四足爬行的物,你們都當以為可憎。All flying insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you.

21只是有翅膀用四足爬行的物中,有足有腿,在地上蹦跳的,你們還可以吃。However, you may eat the following kinds of flying insects that walk on all fours: those having jointed legs above their feet for hopping on the ground.

22其中有、螞蚱、蟋蟀與其類;蚱蜢與其類;這些你們都可以吃。Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper.

23但是有翅膀有四足的爬物,你們都當以為可憎。All other flying insects that have four legs are detestable to you.

24「這些都能使你們不潔淨。凡摸了死的,必不潔淨到晚上。These creatures will make you unclean. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,

25凡拿了死的,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服。and whoever picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening.

26凡走獸分蹄不成兩瓣、也不倒嚼的,是與你們不潔淨;凡摸了的就不潔淨。Every animal with hooves not completely divided or that does not chew the cud is unclean for you. Whoever touches any of them will be unclean.

27凡四足的走獸,用掌行走的,是與你們不潔淨;摸其屍的,必不潔淨到晚上。All the four-footed animals that walk on their paws are unclean for you; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,

28拿其屍的,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服。這些是與你們不潔淨的。and anyone who picks up a carcass must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening. They are unclean for you.

29「地上爬物與你們不潔淨的乃是這些:鼬鼠、、蜥蜴與其類;The following creatures that move along the ground are unclean for you: the mole, the mouse, any kind of great lizard,

30壁虎、龍子、守宮、蛇醫、。the gecko, the monitor lizard, the common lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.

31這些爬物都是與你們不潔淨的。在牠死了以後,凡摸了的,必不潔淨到晚上。These animals are unclean for you among all the crawling creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening.

32其中死了的,掉在甚麼東西上,這東西就不潔淨,無論是木器、衣服、皮子、口袋,不拘是做甚麼工用的器皿,須要放在水中,必不潔淨到晚上,到晚上才潔淨了。When one of them dies and falls on something, that article becomes unclean; any article of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any implement used for work must be rinsed with water and will remain unclean until evening; then it will be clean.

33若有死了掉在瓦器裡的,其中不拘有甚麼,就不潔淨,你們要把這瓦器打破了。If any of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it will be unclean; you must break the pot.

34其中一切可吃的食物,沾水的就不潔淨,並且那樣器皿中一切可喝的,也必不潔淨。Any food coming into contact with water from that pot will be unclean, and any drink in such a container will be unclean.

35其中已死的,若有一點掉在甚麼物件上,那物件就不潔淨,不拘是爐子,是鍋臺,就要打碎,都不潔淨,也必與你們不潔淨。Anything upon which one of their carcasses falls will be unclean. If it is an oven or cooking pot, it must be smashed; it is unclean and will remain unclean for you.

36但是泉源或是聚水的池子仍是潔淨;惟挨了那死的,就不潔淨。Nevertheless, a spring or cistern containing water will remain clean, but one who touches a carcass in it will be unclean.

37若是死的,有一點掉在要種的子粒上,子粒仍是潔淨;If a carcass falls on any seed for sowing, the seed is clean;

38若水已經澆在子粒上,那死的有一點掉在上頭,這子粒就與你們不潔淨。but if water has been put on the seed and a carcass falls on it, it is unclean for you.

39「你們可吃的走獸若是死了,有人摸牠,必不潔淨到晚上;If an animal that you may eat dies, anyone who touches the carcass will be unclean until evening.

40有人吃那死了的走獸,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服;拿了死走獸的,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服。Whoever eats from the carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening, and anyone who picks up the carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening.

41「凡地上的爬物是可憎的,都不可吃。Every creature that moves along the ground is detestable; it must not be eaten.

42凡用肚子行走的和用四足行走的,或是有許多足的,就是一切爬在地上的,你們都不可吃,因為是可憎的。Do not eat any creature that moves along the ground, whether it crawls on its belly or walks on four or more feet; for such creatures are detestable.

43你們不可因甚麼爬物使自己成為可憎的,也不可因這些使自己不潔淨,以致染了污穢。Do not defile yourselves by any crawling creature; do not become unclean or defiled by them.

44我是耶和華─你們的 神;所以你們要成為聖潔,因為我是聖潔的。你們也不可在地上的爬物污穢自己。For I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any creature that crawls along the ground.

45我是把你們從埃及地領出來的耶和華,要作你們的 神;所以你們要聖潔,因為我是聖潔的。」For I am the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt so that I would be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.

46這是走獸、飛鳥,和水中游動的活物,並地上爬物的條例。This is the law regarding animals, birds, all living creatures that move in the water, and all creatures that crawl along the ground.

47要把潔淨的和不潔淨的,可吃的與不可吃的活物,都分別出來。You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between animals that may be eaten and those that may not.’”
