1And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 3Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. 4Nevertheless 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. 5And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 6And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 7And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8Of 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. 10And 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: 11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. 12Whatsoever 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, 14And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; 15Every raven after his kind; 16And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 17And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, 18And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, 19And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you. 21Yet 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; 22Even 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. 23But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. 24And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even. 25And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. 26The 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. 27And 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. 28And 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, 30And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 31These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even. 32And 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. 33And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. 34Of 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. 35And 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. 36Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.11.36 wherein…: Heb. a gathering together of waters 37And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. 38But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. 39And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even. 40And 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. 41And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. 42Whatsoever 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.11.42 hath…: Heb. doth multiply feet
43Ye 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.11.43 yourselves abominable: Heb. your souls, etc 44For 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. 45For 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. 46This 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: 47To 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.
Ang mga Hayop na Itinuturing na Malinis at Marumi
(Deu. 14:3-21)
1-3Inutusan ng Panginoon si Moises at si Aaron na sabihin sa mga taga-Israel ang mga sumusunod:
“Pwede ninyong kainin ang anumang hayop na lumalakad sa lupa na biyak ang kuko at nginunguyang muli ang kinain nito.11:1-3 nginunguya … nito: tulad ng baka, kambing, tupa at usa. 4-8Pero huwag ninyong kakainin ang mga hayop na nginunguyang muli ang kinain nito pero hindi naman biyak ang mga kuko katulad ng kamelyo at kuneho. Huwag din ninyong kakainin ang baboy dahil kahit biyak ang kuko nito hindi naman nginunguyang muli ang kinain nito. Ituring ninyo na maruruming11:4-8 maruruming: Ang ibig sabihin, hindi ito maaaring kainin o ihandog sa Panginoon. hayop ang mga ito. Huwag kayong kakain ng karne ng mga ito o hihipo ng mga patay na hayop na ito.
9-12“Pwede nʼyong kainin ang mga isda sa dagat o tubig-tabang na may mga palikpik at kaliskis. Pero huwag ninyong kakainin ang mga walang palikpik at kaliskis, at huwag din kayong hihipo ng mga patay na isdang ito. Ituring ninyong kasuklam-suklam ang mga isdang ito.
13-19“Huwag ninyong kakainin ang mga ibon11:13-19 Ang ibang nabanggit na ibon dito na nakasulat sa tekstong Hebreo ay mahirap malaman at ang iba ay wala rito sa Pilipinas. katulad ng agila, uwak, ibon na kumakain ng bangkay ng tao o hayop, lawin, kuwago, ibong naninila, ibong dumadagit ng isda, tagak, at paniki.11:13-19 paniki: o, paniking-bahay. Itinuturing ito na ibon ng mga Israelita. Ituring ninyong kasuklam-suklam ang mga ibon na ito.
20-23“Pwede nʼyong kainin ang mga kulisap na lumilipad at gumagapang na may malalaking paa sa paglundag, katulad ng balang, kuliglig, at tipaklong. Pero huwag ninyong kakainin ang iba pang mga kulisap na lumilipad at gumagapang. Ituring ninyong kasuklam-suklam ang mga ito.
24-28“Huwag kayong hihipo ng bangkay ng hayop na hindi biyak ang kuko at hindi nginunguyang muli ang kinain nito. Huwag din kayong hihipo ng bangkay ng mga hayop na apat ang paa at may kukong pangkalmot.11:24-28 hayop … pangkalmot: Tulad ng pusa, aso at leon. Ituring ninyong marumi ang mga hayop na ito. Ang sinumang makahipo ng bangkay nila ay dapat maglaba ng kanyang damit,11:24-28 dapat … damit: Ito ay isang ritwal na ginagawa ng mga Israelita para sila ay maging malinis at karapat-dapat makisama sa mga seremonyang pangrelihiyon nila. pero ituturing pa rin siyang marumi hanggang sa paglubog ng araw.
29-31“Ituring ninyong marumi ang mga hayop na gumagapang katulad ng daga, bubwit, butiki, tuko, bayawak, buwaya, bubuli at hunyango.11:29-31 Ang ibang mga hayop dito na nakasulat sa tekstong Hebreo ay mahirap malaman at hindi makikita sa Pilipinas. Ang sinumang makahipo ng mga bangkay nito ay ituturing na marumi hanggang sa paglubog ng araw. 32Ang alin mang bagay na mahulugan ng patay na katawan nito ay magiging marumi, maging itoʼy yari sa kahoy, tela, balat, o sako at ginagamit kahit saan. Itoʼy dapat hugasan ng tubig,11:32 hugasan ng tubig: Ito ay ritwal para linisin ang isang bagay para itoʼy maaring magamit. pero ituturing pa rin na marumi hanggang sa paglubog ng araw. 33Kapag ang palayok o banga ay nahulugan ng patay na hayop na ito, ang lahat ng laman sa loob nito ay marumi na, at itoʼy dapat nang basagin. 34Ang lahat ng pagkain na nilagyan ng tubig na mula sa bangang iyon ay marumi na. At marumi na rin ang anumang inumin na nasa bangang iyon. 35Ang alin mang mahulugan ng patay na katawan ng mga iyon ay magiging marumi. Kapag ang nahulugan ay pugon o palayok, ituring ninyong marumi iyon at dapat basagin. 36Ang batis o balon na mahulugan ng kanilang patay na katawan ay mananatiling malinis,11:36 malinis: o, itoʼy maaaring gamitin kahit sa kanilang mga seremonyang pangrelihiyon. pero ang sinumang makahipo ng patay na katawan na iyon ay magiging marumi. 37Ang alin mang binhi na mahulugan nito ay mananatiling malinis, 38pero kung ang binhi ay nakababad na sa tubig, ang binhing iyon ay magiging marumi na.
39“Kung mamatay ang alin mang hayop na maaaring kainin, ang sinumang humipo nito ay ituturing na marumi, hanggang sa paglubog ng araw. 40Ang sinumang kukuha at kakain nito ay dapat maglaba ng kanyang damit pero ituturing pa rin siyang marumi hanggang sa paglubog ng araw.11:40 Tingnan ang “footnotes” sa talatang 24-28.
41-42“Huwag ninyong kakainin ang anumang hayop na gumagapang dahil kasuklam-suklam ito: ang anumang gumagapang sa pamamagitan ng kanyang tiyan o apat na paa o maraming paa dahil iyon ay marumi. 43-44Huwag ninyong dudungisan ang inyong sarili sa pamamagitan ng pagkain ng alinman sa mga ito, dahil ako ang Panginoon na inyong Dios. Italaga ninyo ang inyong sarili para sa akin at kayoʼy magpakabanal dahil akoʼy banal. 45Ako ang Panginoon na naglabas sa inyo sa Egipto para akoʼy maging Dios ninyo. Kaya dapat kayong mamuhay nang banal dahil akoʼy banal.
46“Sa pamamagitan ng mga tuntuning ito tungkol sa lahat ng uri ng hayop, ibon at isda, 47malalaman ninyo kung alin ang malinis at marumi, ang pwede at hindi pwedeng kainin.”
