利未記 21
1 耶和華對摩西說：「你告訴亞倫子孫作祭司的說：祭司不可為民中的死人沾染自己，
The Lord also said to Moses: Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and you shall say to them: Do not allow a priest to be contaminated by the death of his citizens,
2 除非為他骨肉之親的父母、兒女、弟兄，
except only by his blood-relatives and near-relatives, that is, by a father or mother, or by a son or daughter, or also a brother,
3 和未曾出嫁、作處女的姊妹，才可以沾染自己。
or a virgin sister, who is not married to a husband.
4 祭司既在民中為首，就不可從俗沾染自己。
But not even by the leader of his people shall he be contaminated.
5 不可使頭光禿；不可剃除鬍鬚的周圍，也不可用刀劃身。
Neither shall they shave their head or their beard, and they shall not make incisions in their flesh.
6 要歸上帝為聖，不可褻瀆上帝的名；因為耶和華的火祭，就是上帝的食物，是他們獻的，所以他們要成為聖。
They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not pollute his name. For they offer the incense of the Lord and the bread of their God, and because of this they shall be holy.
7 不可娶妓女或被污的女人為妻，也不可娶被休的婦人為妻，因為祭司是歸上帝為聖。
They shall not take as a wife a promiscuous woman, or a prostitute, or her who has been repudiated by her husband. For they are consecrated to their God,
8 所以你要使他成聖，因為他奉獻你上帝的食物；你要以他為聖，因為我－使你們成聖的耶和華－是聖的。
and they offer the bread of the presence. Therefore, let them be holy, for I also am holy: the Lord, who sanctifies them.
9 祭司的女兒若行淫辱沒自己，就辱沒了父親，必用火將她焚燒。
If the daughter of a priest will have been taken into prostitution, and will have violated the name of her father, she shall be consumed by fire.
10 「在弟兄中作大祭司、頭上倒了膏油、又承接聖職、穿了聖衣的，不可蓬頭散髮，也不可撕裂衣服。
The high priest, that is, the priest who is the greatest among his brothers, upon whose head the oil of anointing has been poured, and whose hands have been consecrated for the priesthood, and who has been vested with the holy vestments: he shall not expose his head; he shall not rend his vestments.
11 不可挨近死屍，也不可為父母沾染自己。
And he shall not enter to any dead body whatsoever; likewise, not even by his father or mother shall he be contaminated.
12 不可出聖所，也不可褻瀆上帝的聖所，因為上帝膏油的冠冕在他頭上。我是耶和華。
Neither shall he exit from the holy places, lest he pollute the Sanctuary of the Lord. For the oil of the holy anointing of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.
13 他要娶處女為妻。
He shall take a virgin as his wife.
14 寡婦或是被休的婦人，或是被污為妓的女人，都不可娶；只可娶本民中的處女為妻。
But a widow, or one who has been repudiated or defiled, or also a mistress, he shall not accept, but only a maiden from among his own people.
15 不可在民中辱沒他的兒女，因為我是叫他成聖的耶和華。」
He shall not mingle the stock of his family with the common people of his nation. For I am the Lord, who sanctifies him.
16 耶和華對摩西說：
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 「你告訴亞倫說：你世世代代的後裔，凡有殘疾的，都不可近前來獻他上帝的食物。
Say to Aaron: A man from your offspring, throughout their families, who has a blemish, shall not offer the bread to his God.
18 因為凡有殘疾的，無論是瞎眼的、瘸腿的、塌鼻子的、肢體有餘的、
Neither shall he approach to minister to him: if he is blind, if he is lame, if he is small, or large, or has a crooked nose,
19 折腳折手的、
if his foot or hand is broken,
20 駝背的、矮矬的、眼睛有毛病的、長癬的、長疥的，或是損壞腎子的，都不可近前來。
if he has a bulging back or bleary eyes, or if he has a white spot in his eye, or a chronic scab, or a skin disease on his body, or a hernia.
21 祭司亞倫的後裔，凡有殘疾的，都不可近前來，將火祭獻給耶和華。他有殘疾，不可近前來獻上帝的食物。
Anyone from the offspring of Aaron, the priest, who has a blemish, shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor the bread to his God.
22 上帝的食物，無論是聖的，至聖的，他都可以吃。
Nevertheless, he shall eat from the loaves which are offered in the Sanctuary.
23 但不可進到幔子前，也不可就近壇前；因為他有殘疾，免得褻瀆我的聖所。我是叫他成聖的耶和華。」
But even so, he may not enter within the veil, nor approach to the altar. For he has a blemish, and he must not contaminate my Sanctuary. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.
24 於是，摩西曉諭亞倫和亞倫的子孫，並以色列眾人。
Therefore, Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all of Israel, everything that had been commanded to him.
