Leviticus 11

1 The LORD spoke again to Moses and Aaron, telling them,

1 وَأَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ:

2 “Say to the Israelites, ‘Of all the beasts of the earth, these ones you may eat:

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

3 You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud.

3 تَأْكُلُونَ كُلَّ حَيَوَانٍ مَشْقُوقِ الظِّلْفِ وَمُجْتَرٍّ،

4 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.

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

5 The rock badger, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.

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

6 The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.

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

7 And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.

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

8 You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.

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

9 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.

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

10 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.

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.

11 They shall be an abomination to you; you must not eat their meat, and you must detest their carcasses.

11 فَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ لَحْمِهَا وَامْقُتُوا جُثَثَهَا.

12 Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales shall be detestable to you.

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

13 Additionally, you are to detest the following birds, and they must not be eaten because they are detestable: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,

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

14 the kite, any kind of falcon,

14 وَالْحِدَأَةُ وَالْبَاشِقُ عَلَى مُخْتَلَفِ أَصْنَافِهِ،

15 any kind of raven,

15 وَكُلُّ أَجْنَاسِ الْغِرْبَانِ،

16 the ostrich, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,

16 وَالنَّعَامَةُ وَالظَّلِيمُ وَالسَّأَفُ وَكُلُّ أَنْوَاعِ طَيْرِ الْبَازِ،

17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,

17 وَالْبُومَةُ وَالْغَوَّاصُ وَالْكُرْكِيُّ،

18 the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,

18 وَالْبَجَعُ وَالْقُوقُ وَالرَّخَمُ،

19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

19 وَاللَّقْلَقُ وَالْبَبْغَاءُ عَلَى اخْتِلافِ أَجْنَاسِهَا، وَالْهُدْهُدُ وَالْخُفَّاشُ.

20 All flying insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you.

20 وَكَذَلِكَ تُحَظَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ كُلُّ حَشَرَةٍ مُجَنَّحَةٍ ذَاتِ أَرْبَعِ أَرْجُلٍ.

21 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.

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

22 Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper.

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

23 All other flying insects that have four legs are detestable to you.

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

24 These creatures will make you unclean. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,

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

25 and whoever picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening.

25 وَعَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ حَمَلَ جُثَثَهَا أَنْ يَغْسِلَ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِساً حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ،

26 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.

26 وَكَذَلِكَ جَمِيعُ الْبَهَائِمِ ذَوَاتِ الأَظْلافِ غَيْرِ الْمَشْقُوقَةِ وَغَيْرِ الْمُجْتَرَّةِ تَكُونُ نَجِسَةً لَكُمْ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَلْمِسُهَا يَتَنَجَّسُ.

27 All the four-footed animals that walk on their paws are unclean for you; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,

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

28 and anyone who picks up a carcass must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening. They are unclean for you.

28 وَمَنْ يَحْمِلُ جُثَثَهَا يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ. جَمِيعُهَا مَحْظُورَةٌ عَلَيْكُمْ.

29 The following creatures that move along the ground are unclean for you: the mole, the mouse, any kind of great lizard,

29 أَمَّا الْحَيَوَانَاتُ الدَّابَةُ حَوْلَكُمْ فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ وَالْمَحْظُورَةُ عَلَيْكُمْ لِنَجَاسَتِهَا فَهِيَ: ابْنُ عِرْسٍ وَالْفَأْرُ وَالضَّبُّ عَلَى مُخْتَلَفِ أَجْنَاسِهِ،

30 the gecko, the monitor lizard, the common lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.

30 وَالْحِرْذَوْنُ وَالْوَرَلُ وَالْوَزَغَةُ والْعِظَايَةُ وَالْحِرْبَاءُ.

31 These animals are unclean for you among all the crawling creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening.

31 هَذِهِ هِيَ الْحَيَوَانَاتُ النَّجِسَةُ لَكُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الدَّابَةِ. كُلُّ مَنْ لَمَسَهَا يَكُونُ نَجِساً حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ.

32 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.

32 إِنْ وَقَعَتْ جُثَّةُ أَحَدِ هَذِهِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ عَلَى شَيْءٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَتَنَجَّسُ، سَوَاءٌ أَكَانَ آنِيَةً مِنْ خَشَبٍ أَمْ قُمَاشٍ أَمْ جِلْدٍ أَمْ مِسْحٍ، أَمْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ يُسْتَخْدَمُ فِي عَمَلٍ مَا. يُوْضَعُ فِي مَاءٍ وَيَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ، ثُمَّ يَطْهُرُ.

33 If any of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it will be unclean; you must break the pot.

33 أَمَّا إِنْ وَقَعَتْ جُثَّةُ أَحَدِهَا فِي إِنَاءٍ خَزَفِيٍّ، فَإِنَّ مَا فِي الإِنَاءِ يَتَنَجَّسُ، وَأَمَّا الإِنَاءُ فَيُكْسَرُ.

34 Any food coming into contact with water from that pot will be unclean, and any drink in such a container will be unclean.

34 وَأَيُّ طَعَامٍ يُؤْكَلُ اسْتُخْدِمَ فِيهِ مَاءٌ مِنْ هَذَا الإِنَاءِ يَكُونُ نَجِساً. وَكَذَلِكَ يَكُونُ مَاؤُهُ الَّذِي يُشْرَبُ أَيْضاً.

35 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.

35 وَإذَا سَقَطَتْ جُثَّةُ أَحَدِ هَذِهِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ فِي التَّنُّورِ أَوِ الْمَوْقِدِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُهْدَمُ، لأَنَّهُ نَجِسٌ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهِ تَتَنَجَّسُونَ.

36 Nevertheless, a spring or cistern containing water will remain clean, but one who touches a carcass in it will be unclean.

36 أَمَّا إِنْ سَقَطَتْ فِي نَبْعٍ أَوْ بِئْرٍ حَيْثُ يَجْتَمِعُ الْمَاءُ، فَإِنَّهُمَا تَظَلّانِ طَاهِرَتَيْنِ. لَكِنْ كُلُّ مَنْ لَمَسَ جُثَّتَهَا يَكُونُ نَجِساً.

37 If a carcass falls on any seed for sowing, the seed is clean;

37 وَإذَا وَقَعَتْ جُثَّةُ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا عَلَى حُبُوبٍ يَبْذُرُونَهَا فِي حَقْلٍ، فَإِنَّهَا تَبْقَى طَاهِرَةً.

38 but if water has been put on the seed and a carcass falls on it, it is unclean for you.

38 لَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْحُبُوبُ مُبْتَلَّةً بِمَاءٍ وَسَقَطَتِ الْجُثَّةُ عَلَيْهَا، فَإِنَّ الْحُبُوبَ الْمُبْتَلَّةَ تُصْبِحُ نَجِسَةً لَكُمْ.

39 If an animal that you may eat dies, anyone who touches the carcass will be unclean until evening.

39 إِنْ مَاتَ حَيَوَانٌ لَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَكْلُهُ، وَلَمَسَ أَحَدٌ جُثَّتَهُ، فَاللّامِسُ يَكُونُ نَجِساً حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ.

40 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.

40 وَعَلَى مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ جُثَّتِهِ أَوْ حَمَلَهَا أَنْ يَغْسِلَ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ.

41 Every creature that moves along the ground is detestable; it must not be eaten.

41 ويُحَظَرُ عَلَيْكُمُ الأَكْلُ مِنَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الزَّاحِفَةِ،

42 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.

42 سَوَاءٌ كَانَتْ تَزْحَفُ عَلَى بَطْنِهَا أَوْ تَدِبُّ عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ فَإِنَّهَا مَحْظُورَةٌ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْهَا.

43 Do not defile yourselves by any crawling creature; do not become unclean or defiled by them.

43 لَا تُدَنِّسُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِالْحَيَوَانَاتِ الدَّابَةِ هَذِهِ، وَلا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِها. كُونُوا طَاهِرِينَ.

44 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.

44 أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، فَكَرِّسُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَتَقَدَّسُوا، لأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ، وَلا تُنَجِّسُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الدَّبِيبِ الْمُتَحَرِّكِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.

45 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.

45 لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ لأَكُونَ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً. فَكُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ لأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ.

46 This is the law regarding animals, birds, all living creatures that move in the water, and all creatures that crawl along the ground.

46 هَذِهِ هِيَ الشَّرَائِعُ الْخَاصَّةُ بِالْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَالطُّيُورِ وَالْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْمَائِيَّةِ وَالزَّوَاحِفِ،

47 You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between animals that may be eaten and those that may not.’”

47 لِكَيْ تُمَيِّزُوا بَيْنَ النَّجِسِ وَالطَّاهِرِ، وَبَيْنَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الَّتِي تُؤْكَلُ وَالْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْمَحْظُورِ أَكْلُهَا».
