Gobele Salasu 21
1 Hina Gode da Mousesema, e da Elane gobele salasu dunu ilima alofele sia: ma: ne sia: i, “Gobele salasu dunu ea fi dunu bogosea, e da ledo gala hamosa: besa: le amo dunu ea ‘idigisa’ lolo Nasu amoma maedafa gilisima: mu.
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them,
‘You priests must not cause yourselves to become unfit to do my work by [touching] corpses. Priests are permitted to touch only the corpses of close relatives, such as the priest’s mother or father or his son or daughter or his brother.
3 Be ea ame o ada o egefe o idiwi o ola eya o dalusi ea diasu ganodini esala, amo bogosea e da ea bogosu dawa: su gilisisu amoga gilisimu da defea.
Priests are also permitted to touch the corpse of a sister if she is not married, because she has no husband [to bury her body].
4 Be uda lasu hou amoga dunu o uda da ea fi amoma gilisi, e da ledo gala hamosa: besa: le, amo bogosu dawa: ma: ne hou amoma hame gilisimu.
Priests must not cause themselves to become unfit to do my work [DOU] by [touching corpses of] people who were married to one of their close relatives.
5 Gobele salasu dunu da ea dialuma hinabo mogili hame waga: mu amola ea maya: bo fe hame waga: mu amola e da ea da: i dioi asigi hou olelema: ne, e da ea da: i hame mi defemu.
You priests must not shave your heads or shave the edges of your beards or cut your bodies [to show that you are mourning for someone who has died].
6 E da ea hou huluane amo ganodini hadigi ba: mu. E da Na Dio hame wadela: ma: mu.
You must act in ways that I, your God, consider to be holy, and not disgrace my name/reputation. You are the ones who present to me the offerings that are burned. [It is as though] those offerings are food for me, your God; so you must act in ways that are holy.
7 Gobele salasu dunu da uda lasea, e da hina: da: i bidi lasu uda o uda amo da eno dunuma dawa: digi o uda amoda enoga lai fisiagai, agoai uda hame lamu.
You priests must not marry women who have been prostitutes or who have been divorced from their husbands, because you priests are (set apart for me/holy).
8 Gobele salasu dunu da ha: i manu gobele salasu liligi Nama iaha. Amaiba: le, dunu eno da gobele salasu dunu da hadigi hamoi dagoi dawa: mu da defea. Na da Hina Gode! Na da hadigidafa amola Na da Na fi dunu amo hadigi hamosa.
You must consider that you are holy, because you offer food to me, your God. Consider yourselves to be holy because I, Yahweh, [the one who caused you to be priests and] the one who enables you to be holy, am holy.
9 Gobele salasu dunu ea idiwi da hina: da: i bidi lasea, e da ea ada gogosiama: ne ea hou wadela: lesiba: le, laluga gobelesili medole legema: mu.
If a priest’s daughter disgraces herself by becoming a prostitute, she disgraces her father; and she must be killed by being burned in a fire.
10 Ilia da gobele salasu Ouligisu dunu amo ea dialumaga ilegesu susuligi sogadigi dagoi amola gobele salasu abula gasisalima: ne ilegei dagoi. Amaiba: le, dunu da bogosea, e da ea dialuma hinabo mae fesega: ne, ea da: i dioi olelema: ne abula gadelamu, amo hou e da hame hamomu.
The Supreme Priest is the one among his relatives who has been [appointed for that work] by having his head anointed with olive oil. He is also the one who has been appointed to wear the special garments that priests wear. He must not allow the hair on his [head] to remain uncombed, and he must not tear his clothes [when he is mourning for someone].
He must not enter some place where there is a corpse. He must not do that and cause himself to become unfit for his work, even if it is his father or his mother who has died.
12 E da Na hadigi hou hamoma: ne, Nama ilegei dagoi. Amaiba: le, e da ledo gala hamoma: ne, hou huluane hame hamomu. Amola e da Na sema Abula Diasu amo ledo gala hamosa: besa: le, e da Na diasu fisili, diasu amo ganodini bogoi da dialebe amoga masunu da sema bagade. Ea ada o ame amola da bogosea, e da ilia dialebe diasu amoga hame masunu.
He must not leave the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because he would cause himself to become unfit for his work and would also defile/desecrate the Sacred Tent. He must not leave the Sacred Tent [at that time], because by being anointed with olive oil he has been (appointed/set apart) to serve his God [in the Sacred Tent]. I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding this].
13 E da a: fini, dunu hame dawa: digi amo fawane lamu.
Women whom you priests marry must be virgins.
14 E da uda didalo o dunu enoga lai fisiagai uda o hina: da: i bidi lasu uda amo hame lamu. E da ea fidafa a: fini dunu hame dawa: digi amo fawane lama: mu.
You priests must not marry widows or prostitutes or divorced women, because if you did that, [if you later have] sons, they would not be acceptable to be priests among your people. You must marry only virgins from among your own people. I am Yahweh, who sets priests apart to be holy.’”
15 Ea mano da hadigi hamoi dagoi ba: mu da defea. Be e da uda udigili lasea, ea mano da sema ganodini ledo gala hamoi dagoi ba: mu. Na da Hina Gode amola Na da Gobele Salasu Ouligisu dunu mogili gagale hadigi hamoi dagoi.”
16 Hina Gode da Mousesema, e da Elanema amane sia: ma: ne sia: i, “Digaga fi amo afae da ea da: i hodo liligi da wadela: i ba: sea, e da ha: i manu iasu Nama imunu da defea hame. Amo sema da wali amola eso huluane dialalalumu.
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
“Say this to Aaron: 'For all future time, none of your descendants who has any defects [on his body] will be allowed to come near [the altar] to offer [sacrifices to me which will be like] [MET] my food:
18 Nowa da ea da: i hodo liligi afae da wadela: i ba: sea, e da ha: i manu gobele salasu Nama hame imunu. Si dofoi dunu amola emo gasuga: igi o da: i wadela: lesi amo huluane,
No one who is blind or lame or deformed, or whose [face is] disfigured,
19 lobo o emo afoi dunu,
no man with a crippled foot or a crippled hand,
20 baligi fele heda: i o samoi dunu, si oloi o gadofo oloi o gulusu danai,
no man who is a hunchback or a dwarf, no man whose eyes are defective, no man who has a skin disease [DOU] or whose testicles have been damaged is allowed to brings sacrifices.
21 Elane egaga fi amo ganodini da da: i wadela: i amo da ha: i manu gobele salasu Nama hame imunu.
No descendant of Aaron, the [first Supreme] Priest, who has any defect is allowed to come to the altar to offer to me, his God, sacrifices that will be burned.
22 Agoai dunu da ha: i manu Nama iasu liligi amo manu da defea. E da hadigi ha: i manu iasu amola hadigidafa ha: i manu iasu amo manu da defea.
Priests who have defects are permitted to eat the various kinds of holy food offered to me.
23 Be ea da: i da fonobahadi wadela: iba: le, e da Sema Abula (amo da Hadigi Malei Sesei amola Hadigidafa Momei Sesei afafasa) amola oloda amo gadenene hame misunu. E da amo hadigi liligi ledo gala hamosa: besa: le, gadenene hame misunu. Bai Na da Hina Gode amola Na da amo liligi hadigima: ne hamosa.”
But because of their defects, they must not go near the curtain [in the Sacred Tent] or near the altar, because if they did that, they would desecrate my Sacred Tent. I am Yahweh, the one who sets those places apart as being holy.'”
24 Amo sia: huluane, Mousese da Elane, egefela amola Isala: ili dunu ilima olelei.
So Moses/I told this to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israeli people.
