| 1 Jahve reče Mojsiju i Aronu: | 1 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, |
| 2 »Ovako kažite Izraelcima: ‘Ovo su životinje koje između svih četveronožaca na zemlji možete jesti: | 2 "Say to the people of Israel, These are the living things which you may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. |
| 3 svaku koja ima papke, ali papke razdvojene, i koja preživa možete jesti. | 3 Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat. |
| 4 Ali ove, iako preživaju ili papke imaju, ne smijete jesti: devu, jer iako preživa, razdvojena papka nema – za vas je nečista; | 4 Nevertheless among those that chew the cud or part the hoof, you shall not eat these: The camel, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. |
| 5 svisca, jer iako preživa, razdvojena papka nema – za vas je nečist; | 5 And the rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. |
| 6 arnebeta, iako preživa, razdvojena papka nema – za vas je nečist. | 6 And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. |
| 7 A svinja, iako ima papak, i to papak razdvojen, ne preživa – za vas je nečista. | 7 And the swine, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. |
| 8 Njihova mesa nemojte jesti niti se njihove strvine doticati – za vas su one nečiste.’ | 8 Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you. |
| 9 ‘Od svih vodenih životinja ove možete jesti: sve što živi u vodi, bilo u morima, bilo u rijekama, a ima peraje i ljuske možete jesti. | 9 "These you may eat, of all that are in the waters. Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat. |
| 10 A što u morima i rijekama nema peraja i ljusaka – sve životinjice u vodi, sva živa vodena bića – neka su vam odvratna | 10 But anything in the seas or the rivers that has not fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is an abomination to you. |
| 11 i odvratna neka vam ostanu! Mesa od njih nemojte jesti, a njihove strvine držite za odvratnost. | 11 They shall remain an abomination to you; of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall have in abomination. |
| 12 Sve, dakle, što je u vodi a nema peraja i ljusaka neka je za vas odvratno.’ | 12 Everything in the waters that has not fins and scales is an abomination to you. |
| 13 ‘Od ptica neka su vam ove odvratne i neka se ne jedu – odvratnost su: orao, orao strvinar i jastreb, | 13 "And these you shall have in abomination among the birds, they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the osprey, |
| 14 tetrijeb i sokol bilo koje vrste; | 14 the kite, the falcon according to its kind, |
| 15 gavran svih vrsta; | 15 every raven according to its kind, |
| 16 noj, kobac i galeb; lastavica svake vrste; | 16 the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, the hawk according to its kind, |
| 17 sova, gnjurac, ušara, | 17 the owl, the cormorant, the ibis, |
| 18 labud, pelikan, droplja; | 18 the water hen, the pelican, the carrion vulture, |
| 19 roda, čaplja svake vrste; pupavac i šišmiš.’ | 19 the stork, the heron according to its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat. |
| 20 ‘Svi krilati kukci što hodaju četveronoške neka su vam odvratni! | 20 "All winged insects that go upon all fours are an abomination to you. |
| 21 Od svih tih krilatih kukaca što hodaju četveronoške možete jesti samo one koji imaju na svojim nožicama listove za skakutanje po zemlji. | 21 Yet among the winged insects that go on all fours you may eat those which have legs above their feet, with which to leap on the earth. |
| 22 Od njih možete jesti: svaku vrstu skakavaca, cvrčaka i zrikavaca. | 22 Of them you may eat: the locust according to its kind, the bald locust according to its kind, the cricket according to its kind, and the grasshopper according to its kind. |
| 23 A svi drugi krilati kukci na četiri nožice neka su vam odvratni! | 23 But all other winged insects which have four feet are an abomination to you. |
| 24 I od njih ćete se onečistiti: tko se god dotakne njihove crkotine, neka je nečist do večeri; | 24 "And by these you shall become unclean; whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening, |
| 25 tko god ponese crkotinu bilo koje od njih, neka opere svoju odjeću i nečistim se smatra do večeri; | 25 and whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. |
| 26 i životinje s nerazdvojenim papkom što ne preživaju za vas su nečiste, i tko ih se dotakne, neka je nečist! | 26 Every animal which parts the hoof but is not cloven-footed or does not chew the cud is unclean to you; every one who touches them shall be unclean. |
| 27 Onda, četveronožne životinje koje hodaju na četiri šape za vas su nečiste. Tko se dotakne njihova strva, neka je nečist do večeri. | 27 And all that go on their paws, among the animals that go on all fours, are unclean to you; whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening, |
| 28 A onaj koji ponese njihov strv, neka opere svoju odjeću i bude nečist do večeri. Za vas su one nečiste.’ | 28 and he who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you. |
| 29 ‘Od životinja što po zemlji gmižu neka su za vas ove nečiste: krtica, miš i svaka vrsta guštera; | 29 "And these are unclean to you among the swarming things that swarm upon the earth: the weasel, the mouse, the great lizard according to its kind, |
| 30 zidni macaklin, kameleon, daždevnjak, zelembać i tinšamet. | 30 the gecko, the land crocodile, the lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon. |
| 31 Te su životinje od svih što gmižu za vas nečiste. Tko ih se mrtvih dotakne neka je nečist do večeri. | 31 These are unclean to you among all that swarm; whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening. |
| 32 A na što koja od njih mrtva padne, neka je onečišćeno: bio to kakav drveni predmet ili odjeća, koža ili vreća. Svaki takav predmet koji se upotrebljava neka se zamoči u vodu i ostane nečist do večeri. Onda će postati čist. | 32 And anything upon which any of them falls when they are dead shall be unclean, whether it is an article of wood or a garment or a skin or a sack, any vessel that is used for any purpose; it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it shall be clean. |
| 33 Upadne li što od njih u kakvu zemljanu posudu, razbijte je; sve je u njoj onečišćeno. | 33 And if any of them falls into any earthen vessel, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it. |
| 34 A bilo kakva hrana što se jede, ako na nju kapne voda iz te posude, bit će onečišćena. Svaka tekućina što se pije u svakoj takvoj posudi neka se smatra nečistom. | 34 Any food in it which may be eaten, upon which water may come, shall be unclean; and all drink which may be drunk from every such vessel shall be unclean. |
| 35 A sve na što padne bilo što od njihove crkotine neka je nečisto; bude li to peć ili ognjište, neka se sruše: onečišćeni su za vas i neka nečisti budu. | 35 And everything upon which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven or stove, it shall be broken in pieces; they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. |
| 36 A vrelo ili čatrnja koja drži vodu neka se smatraju čistima. Ali tko dirne strvinu životinje neka je nečist. | 36 Nevertheless a spring or a cistern holding water shall be clean; but whatever touches their carcass shall be unclean. |
| 37 Ako što od njihova strva padne na žitno sjemenje što će se sijati, ono ostaje čisto; | 37 And if any part of their carcass falls upon any seed for sowing that is to be sown, it is clean; |
| 38 ali ako se sjemenje nakvasi vodom, a onda na nj padne što od njihove crkotine, neka je za vas nečisto. | 38 but if water is put on the seed and any part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you. |
| 39 Ako ugine koja životinja što vam služi za hranu, onaj koji dotakne njezinu strvinu neka je nečist do večeri; | 39 "And if any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening, |
| 40 a koji pojede od njezine strvine neka opere svoju odjeću i bude nečist do večeri; koji ponese njezinu strvinu neka opere svoju odjeću i bude nečist do večeri. | 40 and he who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; he also who carries the carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. |
| 41 Svaka životinja što po tlu gmiže odvratna je. Neka se ne jede! | 41 "Every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten. |
| 42 Ništa što puže na trbuhu, ništa što god ide na četiri noge ili na više nogu – nikakve puzavce što po tlu gmižu nemojte jesti jer su odvratni! | 42 Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, all the swarming things that swarm upon the earth, you shall not eat; for they are an abomination. |
| 43 Nemojte sami sebe poganiti svim tim puzavcima što gmižu; ne prljajte se njima, da i vi zbog njih ne postanete nečisti. | 43 You shall not make yourselves abominable with any swarming thing that swarms; and you shall not defile yourselves with them, lest you become unclean. |
| 44 Ta ja – Jahve – Bog sam vaš! Posvećujte se, dakle, da sveti budete, jer svet sam ja! Nijednim se puzavcem što po tlu gmiže ne prljajte! | 44 For I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any swarming thing that crawls upon the earth. |
| 45 Jest, ja sam Jahve; izveo sam vas iz zemlje egipatske da vam budem Bog. Budite, dakle, sveti jer sam svet ja!’« | 45 For I am the LORD who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; you shall therefore be holy, for I am holy." |
| 46 To je odredba koja se odnosi na ptice i sva živa bića što se u vodi kreću i na sve stvorove koji po zemlji gmižu. | 46 This is the law pertaining to beast and bird and every living creature that moves through the waters and every creature that swarms upon the earth, |
| 47 Svrha joj je da se razlikuje nečisto od čistoga; životinja koja se može jesti od životinje koja se ne smije jesti. | 47 to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean and between the living creature that may be eaten and the living creature that may not be eaten. |
