利未记 21
1 耶和华对摩西说：“你告诉亚伦子孙作祭司的说：祭司不可为民中的死人沾染自己，
The Lord said also to Moses: Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and thou shalt say to them: Let not a priest incur an uncleanness at the death of his citizens:
2 除非为他骨肉之亲的父母、儿女、弟兄，
But only for his kin, such as are near in blood, that is to say, for his father and for his mother, and for his son, and for his daughter, for his brother also,
3 和未曾出嫁、作处女的姊妹，才可以沾染自己。
And for a maiden sister, who hath had no husband:
4 祭司既在民中为首，就不可从俗沾染自己。
But not even for the prince of his people shall he do any thing that may make him unclean.
5 不可使头光秃；不可剃除胡须的周围，也不可用刀划身。
Neither shall they shave their head, nor their beard, nor make incisions in their flesh.
6 要归 神为圣，不可亵渎 神的名；因为耶和华的火祭，就是 神的食物，是他们献的，所以他们要成为圣。
They shall be holy to their God, and shall not profane his name: for they offer the burnt offering of the Lord, and the bread of their God, and therefore they shall be holy.
7 不可娶妓女或被污的女人为妻，也不可娶被休的妇人为妻，因为祭司是归 神为圣。
They shall not take to wife a harlot or a vile prostitute, nor one that has been put away from her husband: because they are consecrated to their God,
8 所以你要使他成圣，因为他奉献你 神的食物；你要以他为圣，因为我—使你们成圣的耶和华—是圣的。
And offer the leaves of proposition. Let them therefore be holy, because I also am holy, the Lord, who sanctify them.
9 祭司的女儿若行淫辱没自己，就辱没了父亲，必用火将她焚烧。
If the daughter of a priest be taken in whoredom, and dishonour the name of her father, she shall be burnt with fire.
10 “在弟兄中作大祭司、头上倒了膏油、又承接圣职、穿了圣衣的，不可蓬头散发，也不可撕裂衣服。
The high priest, that is to say, the priest, is the greatest among his brethren. upon whose head the oil of unction hath been poured, and whose hands have been consecrated for the priesthood, and who hath been vested with the holy vestments, shall not uncover his head, he shall not rend his garments:
11 不可挨近死尸，也不可为父母沾染自己。
Nor shall he go in at all to any dead person: not even for his father, or his mother, shall he be defiled:
12 不可出圣所，也不可亵渎 神的圣所，因为 神膏油的冠冕在他头上。我是耶和华。
Neither shall he go out of the holy places, lest he defile the sanctuary of the Lord, because the oil of the holy unction of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.
13 他要娶处女为妻。
He shall take a virgin unto his wife:
14 寡妇或是被休的妇人，或是被污为妓的女人，都不可娶；只可娶本民中的处女为妻。
But a widow or one that is divorced, or defiled, or a harlot, he shall not take, but a maid of his own people:
15 不可在民中辱没他的儿女，因为我是叫他成圣的耶和华。”
He shall not mingle the stock of his kindred with the common people of his nation: for I am the Lord who sanctify him.
16 耶和华对摩西说：
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 “你告诉亚伦说：你世世代代的后裔，凡有残疾的，都不可近前来献他 神的食物。
Say to Aaron: Whosoever of thy seed throughout their families, hath a blemish, he shall not offer bread to his God.
18 因为凡有残疾的，无论是瞎眼的、瘸腿的、塌鼻子的、肢体有余的、
Neither shall he approach to minister to him: If he be blind, if he be lame, if he have a little, or a great, or a crooked nose,
19 折脚折手的、
If his foot, or if his hand be broken,
20 驼背的、矮矬的、眼睛有毛病的、长癣的、长疥的，或是损坏肾子的，都不可近前来。
If he be crookbacked, or blear eyed, or have a pearl in his eye, or a continual scab, or a dry scurf in his body, or a rupture:
21 祭司亚伦的后裔，凡有残疾的，都不可近前来，将火祭献给耶和华。他有残疾，不可近前来献 神的食物。
Whosoever of the seed of Aaron the priest hath a blemish, he shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor bread to his God.
22 神的食物，无论是圣的，至圣的，他都可以吃。
He shall eat nevertheless of the loaves, that are offered in the sanctuary,
23 但不可进到幔子前，也不可就近坛前；因为他有残疾，免得亵渎我的圣所。我是叫他成圣的耶和华。”
Yet so that he enter not within the veil, nor approach to the altar, because he hath a blemish, and he must not defile my sanctuary. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
24 于是，摩西晓谕亚伦和亚伦的子孙，并以色列众人。
Moses therefore spoke to Aaron, and to his sons and to all Israel, all the things that had been commanded him.
