1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them:
1 Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés y á Aarón, diciéndoles:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
2 Hablad á los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Estos son los animales que comeréis de todos los animales que están sobre la tierra.
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is wholly cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.
3 De entre los animales, todo el de pezuña, y que tiene las pezuñas hendidas, y que rumia, éste comeréis.
3 Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.
4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that only chew the cud, or of them that only part the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.
4 Estos empero no comeréis de los que rumian, y de los que tienen pezuña: el camello, porque rumia mas no tiene pezuña hendida, habéis de tenerlo por inmundo;
4 “‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.
5 And the rock-badger, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.
5 También el conejo, porque rumia, mas no tiene pezuña, tendréislo por inmundo;
5 The hyrax, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.
6 And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you.
6 Asimismo la liebre, porque rumia, mas no tiene pezuña, tendréisla por inmunda;
6 The hare, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.
7 And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.
7 También el puerco, porque tiene pezuñas, y es de pezuñas hendidas, mas no rumia, tendréislo por inmundo.
7 The pig, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you.
8 Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you.
8 De la carne de ellos no comeréis, ni tocaréis su cuerpo muerto: tendréislos por inmundos.
8 You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.
9 These may 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 may ye eat.
9 Esto comeréis de todas las cosas que están en las aguas: todas las cosas que tienen aletas y escamas en las aguas de la mar, y en los ríos, aquellas comeréis;
9 “‘You may eat of all these that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are a detestable thing unto you,
10 Mas todas las cosas que no tienen aletas ni escamas en la mar y en los ríos, así de todo reptil de agua como de toda cosa viviente que está en las aguas, las tendréis en abominación.
10 All that don’t have fins and scales in the seas and rivers, all that move in the waters, and all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,
11 and they shall be a detestable thing unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in detestation.
11 Os serán, pues, en abominación: de su carne no comeréis, y abominaréis sus cuerpos muertos.
11 and you shall detest them. You shall not eat of their meat, and you shall detest their carcasses.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is a detestable thing unto you.
12 Todo lo que no tuviere aletas y escamas en las aguas, tendréislo en abominación.
12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters is an abomination to you.
13 And these ye shall have in detestation among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are a detestable thing: the great vulture, and the bearded vulture, and the ospray;
13 Y de las aves, éstas tendréis en abominación; no se comerán, serán abominación: el águila, el quebrantahuesos, el esmerejón,
13 “‘You shall detest these among the birds; they shall not be eaten because they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,
14 and the kite, and the falcon after its kinds;
14 El milano, y el buitre según su especie;
14 the red kite, any kind of black kite,

19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 All winged swarming things that go upon all fours are a detestable thing unto you.
20 Todo reptil alado que anduviere sobre cuatro pies, tendréis en abominación.
20 “‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.
21 Yet these may ye eat of all winged swarming things that go upon all fours, which have jointed legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth;
21 Empero esto comeréis de todo reptil alado que anda sobre cuatro pies, que tuviere piernas además de sus pies para saltar con ellas sobre la tierra;
21 Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have long, jointed legs for hopping on the earth.
22 even these of them ye may eat: the locust after its kinds, and the bald locust after its kinds, and the cricket after its kinds, and the grasshopper after its kinds.
22 Estos comeréis de ellos: la langosta según su especie, y el langostín según su especie, y el aregol según su especie, y el haghab según su especie.
22 Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.
23 But all winged swarming things, which have four feet, are a detestable thing unto you.
23 Todo reptil alado que tenga cuatro pies, tendréis en abominación.
23 But all winged creeping things which have four feet are an abomination to you.
24 And by these ye shall become unclean; whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until even.
24 Y por estas cosas seréis inmundos: cualquiera que tocare á sus cuerpos muertos, será inmundo hasta la tarde:
24 “‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
25 And whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
25 Y cualquiera que llevare de sus cuerpos muertos, lavará sus vestidos, y será inmundo hasta la tarde.
25 Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
26 Every beast which parteth the hoof, but is not cloven footed, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you; every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
26 Todo animal de pezuña, pero que no tiene pezuña hendida, ni rumia, tendréis por inmundo: cualquiera que los tocare será inmundo.
26 “‘Every animal which has a split hoof that isn’t completely divided, or doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
27 And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean unto you; whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even.
27 Y de todos los animales que andan á cuatro pies, tendréis por inmundo cualquiera que ande sobre sus garras: cualquiera que tocare sus cuerpos muertos, será inmundo hasta la tarde.

29 Y estos tendréis por inmundos de los reptiles que van arrastrando sobre la tierra: la comadreja, y el ratón, y la rana según su especie,
29 “‘These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,
30 and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.
30 Y el erizo, y el lagarto, y el caracol, y la babosa, y el topo.
30 the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.
31 These are they which are unclean to you among all that swarm; whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.

31 These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.
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, wherewith any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.
32 Y todo aquello sobre que cayere alguno de ellos después de muertos, será inmundo; así vaso de madera, como vestido, ó piel, ó saco, cualquier instrumento con que se hace obra, será metido en agua, y será inmundo hasta la tarde, y así será limpio.
32 Anything they fall on when they are dead shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening. Then it will be clean.
33 And every earthen vessel whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break.
33 Y toda vasija de barro dentro de la cual cayere alguno de ellos, todo lo que estuviere en ella será inmundo, y quebraréis la vasija:
33 Every earthen vessel into which any of them falls and all that is in it shall be unclean. You shall break it.
34 All food therein which may be eaten, that on which water cometh, shall be unclean; and all drink in every such vessel that may be drunk shall be unclean.
34 Toda vianda que se come, sobre la cual viniere el agua de [tales vasijas], será inmunda: y toda bebida que se bebiere, será en todas [esas] vasijas inmunda:
34 All food which may be eaten which is soaked in water shall be unclean. All drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
35 And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces; they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
35 Y todo aquello sobre que cayere algo del cuerpo muerto de ellos, será inmundo: el horno ú hornillos se derribarán; son inmundos, y por inmundos los tendréis.
35 Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces. They are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.

38 Mas si se hubiere puesto agua en la simiente, y cayere de sus cuerpos muertos sobre ella, tendréisla por inmunda.
38 But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die, he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even.
39 Y si algún animal que tuviereis para comer se muriere, el que tocare su cuerpo muerto será inmundo hasta la tarde:
39 “‘If any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
40 And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even; he also that beareth the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

41 Y todo reptil que va arrastrando sobre la tierra, es abominación; no se comerá.
41 “‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.
42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath many feet, even all swarming things that swarm upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are a detestable thing.
42 Todo lo que anda sobre el pecho, y todo lo que anda sobre cuatro ó más pies, de todo reptil que anda arrastrando sobre la tierra, no lo comeréis, porque es abominación.
42 Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
43 Ye shall not make yourselves detestable with any swarming thing that swarmeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
43 No ensuciéis vuestras personas con ningún reptil que anda arrastrando, ni os contaminéis con ellos, ni seáis inmundos por ellos.
43 You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps. You shall not make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled by them.
44 For I am the LORD your God; sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy; neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of swarming thing that moveth upon the earth.
44 Pues que yo soy Jehová vuestro Dios, vosotros por tanto os santificaréis, y seréis santos, porque yo soy santo: así que no ensuciéis vuestras personas con ningún reptil que anduviere arrastrando sobre la tierra.
44 For I am Yahweh your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth.
45 For I am the LORD that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
45 Porque yo soy Jehová, que os hago subir de la tierra de Egipto para seros por Dios: seréis pues santos, porque yo soy santo.
45 For I am Yahweh who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46 This is the law of the beast, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that swarmeth upon the earth;
46 Esta es la ley de los animales y de las aves, y de todo ser viviente que se mueve en las aguas, y de todo animal que anda arrastrando sobre la tierra;
46 “‘This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth,
47 to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.
47 Para hacer diferencia entre inmundo y limpio, y entre los animales que se pueden comer y los animales que no se pueden comer.
47 to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.’”
