3 Mosebog 21
1 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Tal til Præsterne, Arons Sønner, og sig til dem: En Præst skal ikke gøre sig uren ved et Lig iblandt sit Folk,
And Jehovah said to Moses, Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, There shall none defile himself for the dead among his people,
2 uden ved hans næste Slægt, som ham næst tilhører, ved hans Moder og ved hans Fader og ved hans Søn og ved hans Datter og ved hans Broder
except for his kin, who is near to him: for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.
3 og ved hans Søster, som er en Jomfru, hans næste Paarørende, som ikke har været nogen Mands Hustru; ved hende maa han gøre sig uren.
And for his sister a virgin, who is near to him, who has had no husband, for her he may defile himself.
4 Han skal ikke besmitte sig, da han er en Herre iblandt sit Folk, saa han vanhelliger sig.
He shall not defile himself, who is a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 De skulle ikke gøre deres Hoved skaldet og ikke afrage det yderste af deres Skæg, og ej skære et Indsnit i deres Kød.
They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 De skulle være hellige for deres Gud og ikke vanhellige deres Guds Navn; thi de ofre Herrens Ildoffer, deres Guds Brød, og derfor skulle de være aldeles hellige.
They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God. For they offer the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, the bread of their God. Therefore they shall be holy.
7 De skulle ikke tage nogen Horekone eller en, som er krænket, til Ægte; og den Kvinde, som er forskudt af sin Mand, skulle de ikke tage; thi han er hellig for Gud.
They shall not take a woman who is a harlot, or profane, neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband, for he is holy to his God.
8 Derfor skal du holde ham hellig, thi han ofrer din Guds Brød; han skal være dig hellig, thi jeg Herren er hellig, som gør eder hellige.
Thou shall sanctify him therefore, for he offers the bread of thy God. He shall be holy to thee, for I Jehovah, who sanctify you, am holy.
9 Og naar nogen Præsts Datter begynder at bedrive Hor, har hun vanhelliget sin Fader, hun skal brændes med Ild.
And the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the harlot, she profanes her father. She shall be burnt with fire.
10 Og den, som er Ypperstepræst iblandt sine Brødre, paa hvis Hoved Salveolien er udøst, og hvis Haand man har fyldt, for at han skal iføre sig Klæderne, han skal ikke blotte sit Hoved og ej sønderrive sine Klæder.
And he who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head go loose, nor tear his clothes,
11 Og han skal ikke komme til noget Lig, han skal ikke gøre sig uren, hverken ved sin Fader eller ved sin Moder.
neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother,
12 Og han skal ikke gaa ud af Helligdommen, og han skal ikke vanhellige sin Guds Helligdom; thi hans Guds Salveolies Hovedsmykke er paa ham. Jeg er Herren.
neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God, for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am Jehovah.
13 Og han skal tage sig en Hustru i hendes Jomfrustand.
And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 En Enke eller en forskudt eller en krænket, en Hore, dem skal han ikke tage, men en Jomfru af sit Folk skal han tage til Hustru.
A widow, or one divorced, or a profane woman, a harlot, these he shall not take, but he shall take to wife a virgin of his own people.
15 Og han skal ikke vanhellige sin Sæd iblandt sit Folk; thi jeg er Herren, som gør ham hellig.
And he shall not profane his seed among his people, for I am Jehovah who sanctifies him.
16 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
17 Tal til Aron og sig: Naar der er en Mand af din Sæd i deres Slægter, paa hvem der er en Lyde, han skal ikke komme nær til, at ofre sin Guds Brød;
Speak to Aaron, saying, Whoever he is of thy seed throughout their generations who has a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 thi ingen Mand, paa hvem der er Lyde, skal komme nær, hvad enten det er en Mand, som er blind eller lam, eller som har noget Lem for kort eller for langt,
For whatever man he is who has a blemish, he shall not approach: not a blind man, or a lame man, or he who has a flat nose, or anything superfluous,
19 eller en Mand, som har Bræk paa Fod eller Bræk paa Haand,
or a man who is broken-footed, or broken-handed,
20 eller som er krogrygget eller er en Dværg eller har Men paa sit Øje, eller som har Skurv eller Fnat, eller som har Brok.
or crook-backed, or a dwarf, or who has a blemish in his eye, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or has his testicles broken.
21 Og ingen Mand af Præsten Arons Sæd, paa hvem der er Lyde, skal gaa frem at ofre Herrens Ildofre; der er Lyde paa ham, han skal ikke gaa frem til at ofre sin Guds Brød.
No man of the seed of Aaron the priest, who has a blemish, shall come near to offer the offerings of Jehovah made by fire; he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22 Dog maa han æde sin Guds Brød, baade af de højhellige Ting og af de andre hellige Ting.
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy,
23 Kun skal han ikke komme til Forhænget og ej gaa frem til Alteret; thi der er Lyde paa ham, og han skal ikke vanhellige mine Helligdomme; thi jeg er Herren, som gør dem hellige.
only he shall not go in to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish, that he not profane my sanctuaries, for I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.
24 Og Mose sagde dette til Aron og til hans Sønner og til alle Israels Børn.
So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
