1 و َكَلَّمَ اللهُ مُوسَى وَهارُونَ فَقالَ:

And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,

2 « بَيِّنا لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ ما هِيَ الحَيواناتُ الَّتِي يُمكِنُهُمْ أنْ يَأكُلُوها مِنْ الحَيواناتِ البَرِّيَّةِ.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

3 ي ُسْمَحُ لَكُمْ أنْ تَأكُلُوا أيَّ حَيوانٍ لَهُ حافِرٌ مَشقُوقٌ وَيَجتَرُّ.

Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

4 « لَكِنْ لا تَأكُلُوا الحَيواناتِ الَّتِي تَجتَرُّ وَلَيسَ لَها حافِرٌ مَشقُوقٌ. لا تَأكُلُوا الجَمَلَ، فَهُوَ يَجتَرُّ لَكِنْ لَيسَ لَهُ حافِرٌ مَشْقُوقٌ، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.

Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

5 ل ا تَأكُلُوا الغَرِيرَ فَهُوَ يَجتَرُّ لَكِنْ لَيسَ لَهُ حافِرٌ مَشْقُوقٌ، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.

And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

6 ل ا تَأكُلُوا الأرنَبَ، فَهُوَ يَجتَرُّ، لَكِنْ لَيسَ لَهُ حافِرٌ مَشْقُوقٌ، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.

And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

7 ل ا تَأكُلُوا الخِنزِيرَ، إذْ لَهُ حافِرٌ مَشقُوقٌ، لَكِنَّهُ لا يَجتَرُّ، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.

And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

8 ل ا تَأكُلُوا مِنْ لَحمِ هَذِهِ الحَيَواناتِ وَلا تَلمِسُوا جُثَثَها، فَهِيَ نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ. الحَيواناتُ البحريّة

Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

9 « وَمِنَ الحَيواناتِ البَحرِيَّةِ تَأكُلُونَ كُلَّ شَيءٍ يَعِيشُ فِي الماءِ – فِي البِحارِ أوِ الأنهارِ – وَلَهُ زَعانِفُ وَحَراشِفُ.

These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

10 أ مّا ما يَعِيشُ فِي البِحارِ أوِ الأنهارِ وَلَيسَتْ لَهُ زَعانِفُ وَحَراشِفُ مِنْ كُلِّ الكائِناتِ الَّتِي تَزحَفُ فِي الماءِ أوِ الكائِناتِ المائِيَّةِ الأُخرَى، فَمُحَرَّمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ،

And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

11 و َسَيبقَى مُحَرَّماً. فَلا تَأكُلُوا لَحمَها وَلا تَلمِسُوا جُثَثَها كَي لا تَتَنَجَّسُوا.

They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

12 ك ُلُّ كائِنٍ فِي الماءِ لَيسَتْ لَهُ زَعانِفُ وَحَراشِفُ يَكُونُ مُحَرَّماً. الطُّيُور

Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

13 « وَتَمقُتُونَ الطُّيُورَ التّالِيَةَ فَلا تَأكُلُوها لأنَّها نَجِسَةٌ: النَّسرَ وَالأنُوقَ وَالعُقابَ،

And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

14 و َالحِدَأةَ وَكُلَّ أنواعِ الصُّقُورِ،

And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;

15 و َكُلَّ أنواعِ الغِربانِ،

And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

20 « لا تَأكُلُوا كُلَّ حَشَرَةٍ لَها أجنِحَةٌ وَتَسِيرُ عَلَى أربَعِ.

All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.

21 و َلَكِنْ تَأكُلُونَ الحَشَراتِ الَّتِي لَها أجنِحَةٌ وَتَسِيرُ عَلَى أربَعِ فَقَطْ إنْ كانَ لِسِيقانِها مَفاصِلُ فَوقَ رِجلَيها لِتَقفِزَ بِهِما عَلَى الأرْضِ.

Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;

22 ف َتَأكُلُونَ كُلَّ أنواعِ الجَرادِ وَكُلَّ أنواعِ الدَّبا وَكُلَّ أنواعِ الحَرْجُوانِ وَكُلَّ أنواعِ الجَنادِبِ.

Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.

23 « وَأمّا الحَشَراتُ الَّتِي لَها أجنِحَةٌ وَتَسِيرُ عَلَى أربَعِ، فامْتَنِعُوا عَنْها.

But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

24 ه َذِهِ الكائِناتُ تُنَجِّسُكُمْ. فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَلمِسُ جُثَثَها يَكُونُ نَجِساً إلَى المَساءِ.

And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.

25 و َكُلُّ مَنْ يَحمِلُ جُزءاً مِنْ جُثَثِها، فَلِيَغْسِلْ ثِيابَهُ. وَسَيَبقَى نَجِساً إلَى المَساءِ. المزيدُ عَنِ الحيوانات

And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

26 « كُلُّ حَيوانٍ لَهُ حافِرٌ غَيرُ مَشقُوقٍ، أوْ لا يَجتَرُّ، هُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَلمِسُهُ يَصِيرُ نَجِساً.

The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

27 ك َذَلِكَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَمْشِي عَلَى خُفٍّ مِنَ الحَيواناتِ الَّتِي تَمْشِي عَلَى أربَعَ، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَلمِسُها يَصِيرُ نَجِساً إلَى المَساءِ.

And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

28 و َكُلُّ مَنْ يَحمِلُ جُثَثَها، لِيَغْسِلْ ثِيابَهُ. وَسَيَبقَى نَجِساً إلَى المَساءِ. إنَّها نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ. الحَيواناتُ الزّاحِفَة

And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.

29 « وَالحَيواناتُ الزّاحِفَةُ الَّتِي تَزحَفُ عَلَى الأرْضِ نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ: الخُلْدُ وَالفَأْرُ وَكُلُّ أنواعِ السَّحالِي الكَبيرَةُ،

These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,

And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.

31 ه َذِهِ الحَيواناتُ الزّاحِفَةُ نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَلمِسُ جُثَثَها يَكُونُ نَجِساً إلَى المَساءِ. احكامٌ تَتَعلّق بالحيوانات النّجسة

These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.

32 « إنْ وَقَعَ أيٌّ مِنَ الحَيواناتِ النَّجِسَةِ المَيِّتَةِ عَلَى شَيءٍ، فَإنَّهُ يَكُونُ نَجِساً. أيِّ وِعاءٍ خَشَبِيٍّ أوْ ثِيابٍ أوْ جِلْدٍ أوْ قُماشٍ مِنْ شَعرِ الماعِزِ أوْ أيَّةِ أداةٍ تُستَخدَمُ لِأيِّ غَرَضٍ تُوضَعُ فِي الماءِ، وَسَتَبقَى نَجِسَةً إلَى المَساءِ حَيثُ تُصبِحُ طاهِرَةً.

And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.

33 إ نْ سَقَطَ أيٌّ مِنْها فِي وِعاءٍ خَزَفِيٍّ، فَإنَّ أيَّ شَيءٍ فِي الوِعاءِ يُصبِحُ نَجِساً. فاكْسِرِ الوِعاءَ.

And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.

34 إ نِ انْسَكَبَ ماءٌ مِنْ وِعاءٍ نَجِسٍ عَلَى أيِّ طَعامٍ طاهِرٍ فَإنَّهُ يَصِيرُ نَجِساً. وَكُلُّ شَرابٍ يُوضَعُ فِي وِعاءٍ نَجِسٍ، يَصِيرُ نَجِساً.

Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.

35 و َإنْ سَقَطَ أيُّ جُزءٍ مِنْ جُثَثِها عَلَى أيِّ شَيءٍ، فَإنَّهُ يَصِيرُ نَجِساً. فَإنْ وَقَعَ عَلَى تَنُّورٍ أوْ فُرنٍ، يَنبَغِي أنْ يُهدَمَ. كُلُّ هَذِهِ الأشْياءِ تَصيرُ نَجِسَةً، وَتَبقَى نَجِسَةً.

And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you.

Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.

38 ل َكِنْ إنْ كانَ عَلَى البُذُورِ ماءٌ، وَسَقَطَ عَلَيها أيُّ جُزءٍ مِنْ جُثَثِها، فَإنَّ البُذُورَ تُصبِحُ نَجِسَةً.

But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.

39 « وَإنْ ماتَ حَيوانٌ مِنَ الحَيواناتِ الَّتِي تَأكُلُونَها، فَمَنْ يَلمِسُ جُثَّتَهُ يَكُونُ نَجِساً إلَى المَساءِ.

And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.

40 ك ُلُّ مَنْ يَأكُلُ مِنْ جُثَّتِهِ، فَليَغْسِلْ ثِيابَهُ. وَسَيَكُونُ نَجِساً إلَى المَساءِ. وَكَذَلِكَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَحمِلُهُ، فَليَغْسِلْ ثِيابَهُ. وَسَيَكُونُ نَجِساً إلَى المَساءِ.

And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

41 « كُلُّ كائِنٍ يَزحَفُ عَلَى الأرْضِ مَكْرُوهٌ فَلا تَأكُلُوهُ.

And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

42 ل ا تَأكُلُوا أيَّ كائِنٍ يَزحَفُ عَلَى الأرْضِ عَلَى بَطنِهِ أمْ عَلَى أربَعِ أمْ عَلَى أقدامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، فَإنَّهُ مَكرُوهٌ.

Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

43 ل ا تُدَنِّسُوا أنفُسَكُمْ بِأيِّ حَيوانٍ زاحِفٍ. لا تُنَجِّسُوا أنفُسَكُمْ بِها فَتَصِيرُوا نَجِسِينَ.

Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

44 ل ِأنِّي أنا إلَهُكُمْ. احفَظُوا أنفُسَكُمْ مُقَدَّسِينَ لِأنِّي أنا قُدُّوسٌ. فَلا تُنَجِّسُوا أنفُسَكُمْ بِالحَيواناتِ الزّاحِفَةِ.

For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

45 ل ِأنِّي أنا اللهُ الَّذِي أخرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصْرَ لِأكُونَ إلَهَكُمْ. كُونُوا مُقَدَّسِينَ، لِأنِّي أنا قُدُّوسٌ.»

For I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

46 ه َذِهِ هِيَ الشَّرائِعُ المُتَعَلِّقَةُ بِالحَيواناتِ البَرِّيَة وَالطُّيُورِ وَالكائِناتِ البَحرِيَّةِ وَالحَيواناتُ الزّاحِفَةُ.

This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:

47 و َذَلِكَ لِكَي يُمَيِّزَ الشَّعْبُ بَينَ النَّجِسِ وَالطّاهِرِ مِنَ الحَيواناتِ، وَما يُمكِنُ أكلُهُ مِنْها وَما لا يُمكِنُ أكلُهُ.

To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
