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 told Moses, “Tell Aaron's sons, the priests: A priest is not to make himself unclean by touching the dead body of any of his relatives.
2 除非为他骨肉之亲的父母、儿女、弟兄，
The only exceptions are for his immediate family. This includes his mother, father, son, daughter, or brother,
3 和未曾出嫁、作处女的姊妹，才可以沾染自己。
or his unmarried sister since she is a close relative because she doesn't have a husband.
4 祭司既在民中为首，就不可从俗沾染自己。
He must not make himself unclean for those only related to him by marriage—he is not to make himself ceremonially impure.
5 不可使头光秃；不可剃除胡须的周围，也不可用刀划身。
Priests are not to shave bald spots on their heads, trim the sides of their beards, or cut their bodies.
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 must be holy to their God and not disgrace their God's reputation. They are the one who present the food offerings to the Lord, the food of their God. Consequently they must 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。
A priest is not to marry a woman made unclean through prostitution or who is divorced by her husband, for the priest must be holy to his 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。
You shall consider him holy because he presents the food offerings to your God. He shall be holy to you, because I am holy. I am the Lord, and I chose you as my special people.
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。
A priest's daughter who makes herself unclean through prostitution makes her father unclean. She must be executed by burning.
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 has the highest place among the other priests. He has been anointed with olive oil poured on his head and has been ordained to wear the priestly clothing. He must not leave his hair uncombed or tear his clothes.
11 不可挨近死尸，也不可为父母沾染自己。
He is not to go near any dead body. He must not make himself unclean, even it is for his own father or mother.
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。
He must not leave to deal with someone who has died or make the sanctuary of his God unclean because he has been dedicated by the anointing oil of his God. I am the Lord.
13 他要娶处女为妻。
He can only marry a virgin.
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。
He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or one made unclean through prostitution. He has to marry a virgin from 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。”
so that he doesn't make his children unclean among his people, for I am the Lord who makes him holy.”
16 耶和华对摩西说：
The Lord told Moses,
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。
“Tell Aaron: These rules apply for all future generations. If any of your descendants has a physical defect, he is not allowed to come and present the food offerings of 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、
No man is allowed to do this if he has any defects, including anyone who is blind, crippled, facially disfigured, or has deformities,
19 折脚折手的、
anyone who has a broken foot or arm,
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。
anyone who is a hunchback or dwarf, or who has cataracts, skin sores or scabs, or a damaged testicle.
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。
No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a defect is allowed to come and present the food offerings to the Lord. Because he has a defect, he must not come and offer the food of his God.
22 神的食物，无论是圣的，至圣的，他都可以吃。
He is still allowed to eat the food from the Most Holy Place of his God and also from 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。”
but because he has a defect, he is not allowed to go near the curtain or the altar, so that my sanctuary and everything in it are not made unclean, because I am the Lord who makes them holy.”
24 于是，摩西晓谕亚伦和亚伦的子孙，并以色列众人。
Moses repeated this to Aaron and his sons, and to all the Israelites.
