Notes on this text (1)
- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν, λέγων,
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2 λαλήσατε τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, λέγοντες, ταῦτα τὰ κτήνη, ἃ φάγεσθε ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν κτηνῶν τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
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 Πᾶν κτῆνος διχηλοῦν ὁπλὴν καὶ ὀνυχιστῆρας ὀνυχίζον δύο χηλῶν, καὶ ἀνάγον μηρυκισμὸν ἐν τοῖς κτήνεσι, ταῦτα φάγεσθε.
3 Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.
4 Πλὴν ἀπὸ τούτων οὐ φάγεσθε, ἀπὸ τῶν ἀναγόντων μηρυκισμὸν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν διχηλούντων τὰς ὁπλὰς, καὶ ὀνυχιζόντων ὀνυχιστῆρας· τὸν κάμηλον, ὅτι ἀνάγει μηρυκισμὸν τοῦτο, ὁπλὴν δὲ οὐ διχηλεῖ, ἀκάθαρτον τοῦτο ὑμῖν.
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 Καὶ τὸν δασύποδα, ὅτι ἀνάγει μηρυκισμὸν τοῦτο, καὶ ὁπλὴν οὐ διχηλεῖ, ἀκάθαρτον τοῦτο ὑμῖν.
5 The hyrax, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.
6 Καὶ τὸν χοιρογρύλλιον, ὅτι οὐκ ἀνάγει μηρυκισμὸν τοῦτο, καὶ ὁπλὴν οὐ διχηλεῖ, ἀκάθαρτον τοῦτο ὑμῖν.
6 The hare, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.
7 Καὶ τὸν ὗν, ὅτι διχηλεῖ ὁπλὴν τοῦτο, καὶ ὀνυχίζει ὄνυχας ὁπλῆς, καὶ τοῦτο οὐκ ἀνάγει μηρυκισμὸν, ἀκάθαρτον τοῦτο ὑμῖν.
7 The pig, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you.
8 Ἀπὸ τῶν κρεῶν αὐτῶν οὐ φάγεσθε, καὶ τῶν θνησιμαίων αὐτῶν οὐχ ἅψεσθε· ἀκάθαρτα ταῦτα ὑμῖν.
8 You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.
9 Καὶ ταῦτα, ἃ φάγεσθε ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐν τοῖς ὕδασι· πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτοῖς πτερύγια καὶ λεπίδες ἐν τοῖς ὕδασι, καὶ ἐν ταῖς θαλάσσαις, καὶ ἐν τοῖς χειμάῤῥοις, ταῦτα φάγεσθε.
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 Καὶ πάντα ὅσα οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς πτερύγια, οὐδὲ λεπίδες ἐν τῷ ὕδατι, ἢ ἐν ταῖς θαλάσσαις, καὶ ἐν τοῖς χειμάῤῥοις, ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν ἐρεύγεται τὰ ὕδατα, καὶ ἀπὸ πάσης ψυχῆς τῆς ζώσης ἐν τῷ ὕδατι, βδέλυγμά ἐστι, καὶ βδελύγματα ἔσονται ὑμῖν.
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 Ἀπὸ τῶν κρεῶν αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔδεσθε, καὶ τὰ θνησιμαῖα αὐτῶν βδελύξεσθε.
11 and you shall detest them. You shall not eat of their meat, and you shall detest their carcasses.
12 Καὶ πάντα ὅσα οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς πτερύγια, οὐδὲ λεπίδες τῶν ἐν τοῖς ὕδασι, βδέλυγμα τοῦτό ἐστιν ὑμῖν.
12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters is an abomination to you.
13 Καὶ ταῦτα, ἃ βδελύξεσθε ἀπὸ τῶν πετεινῶν, καὶ οὐ βρωθήσεται, βδέλυγμά ἐστι· τὸν ἀετὸν, καὶ τὸν γρύπα, καὶ τὸν ἁλιαίετον,
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 καὶ τὸν γύπα, καὶ τὸν ἴκτινον καὶ τὰ ὅμοια αὐτῷ.
14 the red kite, any kind of black kite,
15 Καὶ στρουθὸν, καὶ γλαῦκα, καὶ λάρον, καὶ τὰ ὅμοια αὐτῷ·
15 any kind of raven,
16 Καὶ πάντα κόρακα, καὶ τὰ ὅμοια αὐτῷ· καὶ ἱέρακα, καὶ τὰ ὅμοια αὐτῷ·
16 the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
17 καὶ νυκτικόρακα, καὶ καταράκτην, καὶ ἴβιν,
17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
18 καὶ πορφυρίωνα, καὶ πελεκᾶνα, καὶ κύκνον,
18 the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
19 καὶ ἐρωδιὸν, καὶ χαράδριον, καὶ τὰ ὅμοια αὐτῷ· καὶ ἔποπα, καὶ νυκτερίδα.
19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 Καὶ πάντα τὰ ἑρπετὰ τῶν πετεινῶν, ἃ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τέσσαρα, βδελύγματά ἐστιν ὑμῖν.
20 “‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.
21 Ἀλλὰ ταῦτα φάγεσθε ἀπὸ τῶν ἑρπετῶν τῶν πετεινῶν, ἃ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τέσσαρα, ἃ ἔχει σκέλη ἀνώτερον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ, πηδᾷν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
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 Καὶ ταῦτα φάγεσθε ἀπʼ αὐτῶν· τὸν βροῦχον, καὶ τὰ ὅμοια αὐτῷ· καὶ τὸν ἀττάκην, καὶ τὰ ὅμοια αὐτῷ· καὶ ὀφιομάχην, καὶ τὰ ὅμοια αὐτῷ· καὶ τὴν ἀκρίδα, καὶ τὰ ὅμοια αὐτῇ·
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 Πᾶν ἑρπετὸν ἀπὸ τῶν πετεινῶν, οἷς εἰσι τέσσαρες πόδες, βδελύγματά ἐστιν ὑμῖν,
23 But all winged creeping things which have four feet are an abomination to you.
24 καὶ ἐν τούτοις μιανθήσεσθε· πᾶς ὁ ἁπτόμενος τῶν θνησιμαίων αὐτῶν, ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
24 “‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
25 Καὶ πᾶς ὁ αἴρων τῶν θνησιμαίων αὐτῶν, πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
25 Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
26 Καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς κτήνεσιν ὅ ἐστι διχηλοῦν ὁπλὴν, καὶ ὀνυχιστῆρας ὀνυχίζει, καὶ μηρυκισμὸν οὐ μηρυκᾶται, ἀκάθαρτα ἔσονται ὑμῖν· πᾶς ὁ ἁπτόμενος τῶν θνησιμαίων αὐτῶν, ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
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 Καὶ πᾶς ὃς πορεύεται ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς θηρίοις, ἃ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τέσσαρα, ἀκάθαρτά ἐστιν ὑμῖν· πᾶς ὁ ἁπτόμενος τῶν θνησιμαίων αὐτῶν, ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
27 Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
28 Καὶ ὁ αἴρων τῶν θνησιμαίων αὐτῶν, πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας· ἀκάθαρτα ταῦτά ἔστιν ὑμῖν.
28 He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.
29 Καὶ ταῦτα ὑμῖν ἀκάθαρτα ἀπὸ τῶν ἑρπετῶν τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· ἡ γαλὴ, καὶ ὁ μῦς, καὶ ὁ κροκόδειλος ὁ χερσαῖος,
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 μυγάλη, καὶ χαμαιλέων, καὶ χαλαβώτης, καὶ σαῦρα, καὶ ἀσπάλαξ.
30 the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.
31 Ταῦτα ἀκάθαρτα ὑμῖν ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἑρπετῶν τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· πᾶς ὁ ἁπτόμενος αὐτῶν τεθνηκότων, ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
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 Καὶ πᾶν ἐφʼ ὃ ἂν ἐπιπέσῃ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ἐπʼ αὐτὸ τεθνηκότων αὐτῶν, ἀκάθαρτον ἔσται ἀπὸ παντὸς σκεύους ξυλίνου ἢ ἱματίου ἢ δέρματος ἢ σάκκου· πᾶν σκεῦος ὃ ἂν ποιηθῇ ἔργον ἐν αὐτῷ, εἰς ὕδωρ βαφήσεται, καὶ ἀκάθαρτον ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας· καὶ καθαρὸν ἔσται.
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 Καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ὀστράκινον εἰς ὃ ἐὰν πέσῃ ἀπὸ τούτων ἔνδον, ὅσα ἐὰν ἔνδον ᾖ, ἀκάθαρτα ἔσται, καὶ αὐτὸ συντριβήσεται.
33 Every earthen vessel into which any of them falls and all that is in it shall be unclean. You shall break it.
34 Καὶ πᾶν βρῶμα, ὃ ἔσθεται, εἰς ὃ ἂν ἐπέλθῃ ἐπʼ αὐτὸ ὕδωρ, ἀκάθαρτον ἔσται· καὶ πᾶν ποτὸν, ὃ πίνεται ἐν παντὶ ἀγγείῳ, ἀκάθαρτον ἔσται.
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 Καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἐὰν ἐπιπέσῃ ἀπὸ τῶν θνησιμαίων αὐτῶν ἐπʼ αὐτό, ἀκάθαρτον ἔσται· κλίβανοι καὶ χυτρόποδες καθαιρεθήσονται· ἀκάθαρτα ταῦτά ἐστι, καὶ ἀκάθαρτα ταῦτα ὑμῖν ἔσονται.
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.
36 Πλὴν πηγῶν ὑδάτων καὶ λάκκου καὶ συναγωγῆς ὕδατος, ἔσται καθαρόν· ὁ δὲ ἁπτόμενος τῶν θνησιμαίων αὐτῶν, ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται.
36 Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is gathered shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37 Ἐὰν δὲ ἐπιπέσῃ ἀπὸ τῶν θνησιμαίων αὐτῶν ἐπὶ πᾶν σπέρμα σπόριμον, ὃ σπαρήσεται, καθαρὸν ἔσται.
37 If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
38 Ἐὰν δὲ ἐπιχυθῇ ὕδωρ ἐπὶ πᾶν σπέρμα, καὶ ἐπιπέσῃ τῶν θνησιμαίων αὐτῶν ἐπʼ αὐτό, ἀκάθαρτόν ἐστιν ὑμῖν.
38 But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
39 Ἐὰν δὲ ἀποθάνῃ τῶν κτηνῶν, ὅ ἐστιν ὑμῖν φαγεῖν τοῦτο, ὁ ἁπτόμενος τῶν θνησιμαίων αὐτῶν, ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας·
39 “‘If any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
40 καὶ ὁ ἐσθίων ἀπὸ τῶν θνησιμαίων τούτων, πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας· καὶ ὁ αἴρων ἀπὸ θνησιμαίων αὐτῶν, πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια, καὶ λούσεται ὕδατι, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
40 He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
41 Καὶ πᾶν ἑρπετὸν, ὃ ἕρπει ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, βδέλυγμα ἔσται τοῦτο ὑμῖν· οὐ βρωθήσεται.
41 “‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.
42 Καὶ πᾶς ὁ πορευόμενος ἐπὶ κοιλίας, καὶ πᾶς ὁ πορευόμενος ἐπὶ τέσσαρα διαπαντός, ὃ πολυπληθεῖ ποσὶν ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἑρπετοῖς τοῖς ἕρπουσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, οὐ φάγεσθε αὐτὸ, ὅτι βδέλυγμα ὑμῖν ἐστι.
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 Καὶ οὐ μὴ βδελύξητε τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἑρπετοῖς τοῖς ἕρπουσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ οὐ μιανθήσεσθε ἐν τούτοις, καὶ οὐκ ἀκάθαρτοι ἔσεσθε ἐν αὐτοῖς,
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 ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν· καὶ ἁγιασθήσεσθε, καὶ ἅγιοι ἔσεσθε, ὅτι ἅγιός εἰμι ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν· καὶ οὐ μιανεῖτε τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἑρπετοῖς τοῖς κινουμένοις ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς,
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 ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ ἀναγαγὼν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου εἶναι ὑμῶν Θεός· καὶ ἔσεσθε ἅγιοι, ὅτι ἅγιός εἰμι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
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 Οὗτος ὁ νόμος περὶ τῶν κτηνῶν καὶ τῶν πετεινῶν καὶ πάσης ψυχῆς τῆς κινουμένης ἐν τῷ ὕδατι, καὶ πάσης ψυχῆς ἑρπούσης ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς,
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 διαστεῖλαι ἀναμέσον τῶν ἀκαθάρτων καὶ ἀναμέσον τῶν καθαρῶν, καὶ ἀναμέσον τῶν ζωογονούντων τὰ ἐσθιόμενα καὶ ἀναμέσον τῶν ζωογονούντων τὰ μὴ ἐσθιόμενα.
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.’”
