利未記 11
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
有關食物的條例
11 耶和華對摩西和亞倫說： 2 「你們把以下條例告訴以色列人。
「地上的動物， 3 凡是蹄子分瓣且反芻的，你們都可以吃。 4 但你們不可吃只有蹄子分瓣或只反芻的動物。駱駝不潔淨，因為牠雖反芻但蹄子不分瓣； 5 獾不潔淨，因為牠雖反芻但蹄子不分瓣； 6 野兔不潔淨，因為牠雖反芻但蹄子不分瓣； 7 豬不潔淨，因為牠蹄子雖分瓣但不反芻。 8 你們不可吃牠們的肉，也不可摸牠們的屍體，因為牠們對你們來說不潔淨。
9 「海洋與河流裡的動物，凡有鰭有鱗的，你們都可以吃。 10 但海洋與河流裡無鰭無鱗的動物，你們要憎惡。 11 牠們都是可憎之物，不可吃牠們的肉，也不可摸牠們的屍體。 12 水中任何無鰭無鱗的動物，你們都要視為可憎之物。
13 「你們不可吃以下鳥類，要視為可憎之物。牠們是鵰、胡兀鷲、黑禿鷲、 14 鳶、隼類、 15 烏鴉類、 16 駝鳥、夜鷹、海鷗、鷹類、 17 小鴞、鸕鷀、大鴞、 18 倉鴞、鵜鶘、魚鷹、 19 鸛、鷺鳥類、戴鵀和蝙蝠。
20 「你們要憎惡會飛會爬的昆蟲， 21 但可以吃會飛會跳的昆蟲， 22 包括蝗蟲、蟋蟀和蚱蜢。 23 所有會飛會爬的昆蟲，你們要視為可憎之物。
24 「以下的動物會使你們不潔淨。任何人接觸到牠們的屍體，都不潔淨，要等到傍晚才能潔淨。 25 任何人拿牠們的屍體，都必須洗淨所穿的衣服，要等到傍晚才能潔淨。 26 蹄子不分瓣或不反芻的動物，你們要視為不潔淨，碰到牠們的人都不潔淨。 27 所有以腳掌走路的四足動物，你們要視為不潔淨，碰到牠們屍體的人都不潔淨，要等到傍晚才能潔淨。 28 凡拿牠們屍體的人都必須洗淨所穿的衣服，要等到傍晚才能潔淨。你們要視牠們為不潔淨的動物。
29 「地上不潔淨的動物有鼬鼠、老鼠、大蜥蜴、 30 壁虎、巨蜥、小蜥蜴和變色龍。 31 這些爬蟲都是不潔淨的。任何人碰到牠們的屍體，都不潔淨，要等到傍晚才能潔淨。 32 如果牠們的屍體掉在什麼東西上，不管是木器、衣物、皮件還是袋子，不管作何用途，都會變得不潔淨。要把那東西放在水中，一直到傍晚才能潔淨。 33 如果牠們的屍體掉在陶器裡，陶器裡盛的東西都不潔淨。你們必須打碎那陶器。 34 陶器裡的水如果滴到食物上，食物就不潔淨；如果滴到盛飲料的器皿裡，飲料也不潔淨。 35 牠們的屍體無論掉在什麼東西上，那東西都不潔淨，無論是爐是鍋都要打碎。 36 如果牠們的屍體掉進水泉或儲水池裡，水泉和儲水池仍然是潔淨的，但碰到屍體的人是不潔淨的。 37 如果牠們的屍體接觸到將要播撒的種子，種子仍是潔淨的。 38 但如果牠們的屍體碰到泡過水的種子，種子就不潔淨。
39 「一隻可以食用的動物死後，任何人如果碰到牠的屍體，都不潔淨，要等到傍晚才能潔淨。 40 任何人如果吃牠的肉，或拿牠的屍體，都必須洗淨衣服，等到傍晚才能潔淨。
41 「所有地上的爬蟲都是可憎的，你們不可吃。 42 你們不可吃用肚子、四腳或多腳爬行的動物，這些都是可憎的。 43 你們不可讓這些動物玷污自己，使自己不潔淨。 44 我是你們的上帝耶和華。你們要分別出來做聖潔的人，因為我是聖潔的。你們不可讓地上的爬蟲玷污自己。 45 我是耶和華，我帶你們離開埃及，為要做你們的上帝。你們要聖潔，因為我是聖潔的。
46 「以上是有關飛禽走獸、水族和地上一切爬蟲的條例， 47 使你們可以分清什麼是潔淨的、什麼是不潔淨的、什麼是可吃的、什麼是不可吃的。」
Leviticus 11
King James Version
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2 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 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
4 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 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
9 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 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 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
13 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 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
15 Every raven after his kind;
16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
21 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 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 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
25 And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
26 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 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 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
29 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,
30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
31 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
32 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 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
34 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 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.
36 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
37 And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
38 But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
40 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 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42 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 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 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 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 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 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.
Leviticus 11
Amplified Bible
Laws about Animals for Food
11 The Lord spoke again to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Among all the animals which are on the earth, these are the animals which you may eat.(A) 3 You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof [that is, a hoof split into two parts especially at its distal extremity] and chews the cud. 4 Nevertheless, you are not to eat these, among those which chew the cud or divide the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is [ceremonially] unclean to you. 5 And the [a]shaphan, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you. 6 And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you. 7 And the swine, because it divides the hoof and makes a split hoof, but does not chew the cud; it is unclean to you. 8 You shall not eat their meat nor touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.
9 ‘These you may eat, whatever is in the water: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, these you may eat; 10 but whatever does not have fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of all the teeming life in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are [to be considered] detestable to you.(B) 11 They shall be [b]hated things to you. You may not eat their meat; you shall detest their carcasses. 12 Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales is detestable to you.
Avoid the Unclean
13 ‘These you shall detest among the birds; they are not to be eaten, for they are [c]hated things: the eagle and the vulture and the buzzard, 14 the kite, every kind of falcon, 15 every kind of raven, 16 the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, every species of hawk, 17 the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl, 18 the white owl, the pelican, the carrion vulture, 19 the stork, all kinds of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 ‘All winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you; 21 yet of all winged insects that walk on all fours you may eat those which have legs above their feet with which to leap on the ground. 22 Of these you may eat: the whole species of migratory locust, of bald locust, of cricket, and of grasshopper.(C) 23 But all other winged insects which are four footed are detestable to you.
24 ‘By [contact with] these you will become unclean; whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until the evening (dusk), 25 and whoever picks up any of their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. 26 Concerning all the animals which divide the hoof, but do not have a split hoof, or which do not chew the cud, they are unclean to you; whoever touches them becomes unclean. 27 Also all animals that walk on their paws, among all kinds of animals that walk on four legs, are unclean to you; whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until the evening, 28 and the one who picks up their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.
29 ‘These also are unclean to you among the swarming things that crawl around on the ground [and multiply profusely]: the mole, the mouse, and any kind of great lizard, 30 the gecko, the crocodile, the lizard, the sand reptile, and the chameleon. 31 These [creatures] are unclean to you among all that swarm; whoever touches them when they are dead becomes unclean until evening. 32 Also anything on which one of them falls after dying becomes unclean, whether it is an article of wood or clothing, or a skin, or a sack—any article that is used—it must be put in water, and will be unclean until the evening; then it becomes clean. 33 As for any earthenware container into which any of these [crawling things] falls, whatever is in it becomes unclean, and you shall break the container. 34 Any of the food which may be eaten, but on which [unclean] water falls, shall become unclean, and any liquid that may be drunk in every container shall become unclean. 35 Everything that part of their carcass falls on becomes unclean; an oven, or a small stove shall be smashed; they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. 36 Nevertheless a spring or a cistern (reservoir) collecting water shall be clean; but whoever touches one of these carcasses shall be unclean. 37 If a part of their carcass falls on any seed for sowing which is to be sown, it is clean; 38 but if water is put on the seed and a part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
39 ‘If one of the animals that you may eat dies [of natural causes], whoever touches its carcass becomes unclean until the evening. 40 And whoever eats some of its meat shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening; also whoever picks up its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
41 ‘Now everything that swarms on the ground is detestable; it is not to be eaten. 42 Whatever crawls on its belly, and whatever walks on all fours, and whatever has many feet among all things that swarm on the ground, you shall not eat; for they are detestable. 43 Do not make yourselves loathsome (impure, repulsive) by [eating] any swarming thing; you shall not make yourselves unclean by them so as to defile yourselves. 44 For I am the Lord your God; so consecrate yourselves and be holy, for I am holy. You shall not make yourselves unclean with any of the swarming things that swarm or crawls on the ground.(D) 45 For I am the Lord who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God; therefore you shall be holy, for I am holy.’”(E)
46 This is the law regarding the animal and the bird and every living thing that moves in the waters and everything that swarms on the earth, 47 to make a distinction between the [ceremonially] unclean and the [ceremonially] clean, and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.
