Leviticus 11

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

1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلًا لَهُمَا:

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

2 «كَلِّمَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلَيْنِ: هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ ٱلَّتِي تَأْكُلُونَهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ:

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

3 كُلُّ مَا شَقَّ ظِلْفًا وَقَسَمَهُ ظِلْفَيْنِ، وَيَجْتَرُّ مِنَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ، فَإِيَّاهُ تَأْكُلُونَ.

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 إِلَّا هَذِهِ فَلَا تَأْكُلُوهَا مِمَّا يَجْتَرُّ وَمِمَّا يَشُقُّ ٱلظِّلْفَ: ٱلْجَمَلَ، لِأَنَّهُ يَجْتَرُّ لَكِنَّهُ لَا يَشُقُّ ظِلْفًا، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.

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

5 وَٱلْوَبْرَ، لِأَنَّهُ يَجْتَرُّ لَكِنَّهُ لَا يَشُقُّ ظِلْفًا، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.

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

6 وَٱلْأَرْنَبَ، لِأَنَّهُ يَجْتَرُّ لَكِنَّهُ لَا يَشُقُّ ظِلْفًا، فَهُوَ 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 وَٱلْخِنْزِيرَ، لِأَنَّهُ يَشُقُّ ظِلْفًا وَيَقْسِمُهُ ظِلْفَيْنِ، لَكِنَّهُ لَا يَجْتَرُّ، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.

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

8 مِنْ لَحْمِهَا لَا تَأْكُلُوا وَجُثَثَهَا لَا تَلْمِسُوا. إِنَّهَا 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 «وَهَذَا تَأْكُلُونَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَا فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ: كُلُّ مَا لَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَحَرْشَفٌ فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ، فِي ٱلْبِحَارِ وَفِي ٱلْأَنْهَارِ، فَإِيَّاهُ تَأْكُلُونَ.

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 لَكِنْ كُلُّ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَحَرْشَفٌ فِي ٱلْبِحَارِ وَفِي ٱلْأَنْهَارِ، مِنْ كُلِّ دَبِيبٍ فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ وَمِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ، فَهُوَ مَكْرُوهٌ لَكُمْ،

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

11 وَمَكْرُوهًا يَكُونُ لَكُمْ. مِنْ لَحْمِهِ لَا تَأْكُلُوا، وَجُثَّتَهُ تَكْرَهُونَ.

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

12 كُلُّ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَحَرْشَفٌ فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ فَهُوَ مَكْرُوهٌ لَكُمْ.

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 «وَهَذِهِ تَكْرَهُونَهَا مِنَ ٱلطُّيُورِ. لَا تُؤْكَلْ. إِنَّهَا مَكْرُوهَةٌ: اَلنَّسْرُ وَٱلْأَنُوقُ وَٱلْعُقَابُ

14 the kite, any kind of falcon,

14 وَٱلْحِدَأَةُ وَٱلْبَاشِقُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،

15 any kind of raven,

15 وَكُلُّ غُرَابٍ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،

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

16 وَٱلنَّعَامَةُ وَٱلظَّلِيمُ وَٱلسَّأَفُ وَٱلْبَازُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،

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

17 وَٱلْبُومُ وَٱلْغَوَّاصُ وَٱلْكُرْكِيُّ

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

18 وَٱلْبَجَعُ وَٱلْقُوقُ وَٱلرَّخَمُ

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

19 وَٱللَّقْلَقُ وَٱلْبَبْغَا عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ، وَٱلْهُدْهُدُ وَٱلْخُفَّاشُ.

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

20 وَكُلُّ دَبِيبِ ٱلطَّيْرِ ٱلْمَاشِي عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ. فَهُوَ مَكْرُوهٌ لَكُمْ.

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 إِلَّا هَذَا تَأْكُلُونَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ دَبِيبِ ٱلطَّيْرِ ٱلْمَاشِي عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ: مَا لَهُ كُرَاعَانِ فَوْقَ رِجْلَيْهِ يَثِبُ بِهِمَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

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

22 هَذَا مِنْهُ تَأْكُلُونَ: ٱلْجَرَادُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ، وَٱلدَّبَا عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ، وَٱلْحَرْجُوانُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ، وَٱلْجُنْدُبُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ.

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

23 لَكِنْ سَائِرُ دَبِيبِ ٱلطَّيْرِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ أَرْبَعُ أَرْجُلٍ فَهُوَ مَكْرُوهٌ لَكُمْ.

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

24 مِنْ هَذِهِ تَتَنَجَّسُونَ. كُلُّ مَنْ مَسَّ جُثَثَهَا يَكُونُ نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ،

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

25 وَكُلُّ مَنْ حَمَلَ مِنْ جُثَثِهَا يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ.

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 وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلَّتِي لَهَا ظِلْفٌ وَلَكِنْ لَا تَشُقُّهُ شَقًّا أَوْ لَا تَجْتَرُّ، فَهِيَ نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ. كُلُّ مَنْ مَسَّهَا يَكُونُ نَجِسًا.

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 وَكُلُّ مَا يَمْشِي عَلَى كُفُوفِهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْمَاشِيَةِ عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ. كُلُّ مَنْ مَسَّ جُثَثَهَا يَكُونُ نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ.

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 حَمَلَ جُثَثَهَا يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ. إِنَّهَا نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ.

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

29 «وَهَذَا هُوَ ٱلنَّجِسُ لَكُمْ مِنَ ٱلدَّبِيبِ ٱلَّذِي يَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ: اِبْنُ عِرْسٍ وَٱلْفَأْرُ وَٱلضَّبُّ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،

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

30 وَٱلْحِرْذَوْنُ وَٱلْوَرَلُ وَٱلْوَزَغَةُ وَٱلْعِظَايَةُ وَٱلْحِرْبَاءُ.

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 ٱلنَّجِسَةُ لَكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلدَّبِيبِ. كُلُّ مَنْ مَسَّهَا بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا يَكُونُ نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ،

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 وَكُلُّ مَا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهَا بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا يَكُونُ نَجِسًا. مِنْ كُلِّ مَتَاعِ خَشَبٍ أَوْ ثَوْبٍ أَوْ جِلْدٍ أَوْ بَلَاسٍ. كُلُّ مَتَاعٍ يُعْمَلُ بِهِ عَمَلٌ يُلْقَى فِي ٱلْمَاءِ وَيَكُونُ نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ ثُمَّ يَطْهُرُ.

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

33 وَكُلُّ مَتَاعِ خَزَفٍ وَقَعَ فِيهِ مِنْهَا، فَكُلُّ مَا فِيهِ يَتَنَجَّسُ، وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَتَكْسِرُونَهُ.

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 مَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ مَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ طَعَامٍ يُؤْكَلُ يَكُونُ نَجِسًا. وَكُلُّ شَرَابٍ يُشْرَبُ فِي كُلِّ مَتَاعٍ يَكُونُ نَجِسًا.

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 وَكُلُّ مَا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ جُثَثِهَا يَكُونُ نَجِسًا. اَلتَّنُّورُ وَٱلْمَوْقِدَةُ يُهْدَمَانِ. إِنَّهَا نَجِسَةٌ وَتَكُونُ نَجِسَةً لَكُمْ.

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

36 إِلَّا ٱلْعَيْنَ وَٱلْبِئْرَ، مُجْتَمَعَيِ ٱلْمَاءِ، تَكُونَانِ طَاهِرَتَيْنِ. لَكِنْ مَا مَسَّ جُثَثَهَا يَكُونُ نَجِسًا.

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

37 وَإِذَا وَقَعَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ جُثَثِهَا عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ بِزْرِ زَرْعٍ يُزْرَعُ فَهُوَ طَاهِرٌ.

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

38 لَكِنْ إِذَا جُعِلَ مَاءٌ عَلَى بِزْرٍ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ جُثَثِهَا، فَإِنَّهُ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.

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

39 وَإِذَا مَاتَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ طَعَامٌ لَكُمْ، فَمَنْ مَسَّ جُثَّتَهُ يَكُونُ نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ.

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 وَمَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ جُثَّتِهِ يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ. وَمَنْ حَمَلَ جُثَّتَهُ يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ.

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

41 «وَكُلُّ دَبِيبٍ يَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَهُوَ مَكْرُوهٌ لَا يُؤْكَلُ.

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 كُلُّ مَا يَمْشِي عَلَى بَطْنِهِ، وَكُلُّ مَا يَمْشِي عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ مَعَ كُلِّ مَا كَثُرَتْ أَرْجُلُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ دَبِيبٍ يَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، لَا تَأْكُلُوهُ لِأَنَّهُ مَكْرُوهٌ.

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

43 لَا تُدَنِّسُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِدَبِيبٍ يَدِبُّ، وَلَا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِهِ، وَلَا تَكُونُوا بِهِ نَجِسِينَ.

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 إِنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فَتَتَقَدَّسُونَ وَتَكُونُونَ قِدِّيسِينَ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ. وَلَا تُنَجِّسُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِدَبِيبٍ يَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

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 إِنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ إِلَهًا. فَتَكُونُونَ قِدِّيسِينَ لِأَنِّي 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 شَرِيعَةُ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَٱلطُّيُورِ وَكُلِّ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ تَسْعَى فِي ٱلْمَاءِ وَكُلِّ نَفْسٍ تَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ،

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

47 لِلتَّمْيِيزِ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّجِسِ وَٱلطَّاهِرِ، وَبَيْنَ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلَّتِي تُؤْكَلُ، وَٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلَّتِي لَا تُؤْكَلُ».
