Leviticus 21
1 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,
Og HERREN sagde til Moses: Tal til Præsterne, Arons Sønner, og sig til dem: Præsten må ikke gøre sig uren ved Lig blandt sin Slægt,
2 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.
medmindre det er hans nærmeste kødelige Slægtninge, hans Moder eller Fader, hans Søn eller Datter, hans Broder
3 And for his sister a virgin, who is near to him, who has had no husband, for her he may defile himself.
eller Søster, for så vidt hun var Jomfru og endnu hørte til hans Familie og ikke var gift; i så Fald må han gøre sig uren ved hende;
4 He shall not defile himself, who is a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
men han må ikke gøre sig uren ved hende, når hun var gift med en Mand af hans Slægt, og således pådrage sig Vanhelligelse.
5 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.
De må ikke klippe sig en skaldet Plet på deres Hoved, ikke studse deres Skæg eller gøre Indsnit i deres Legeme.
6 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.
Hellige skal de være for deres Gud og må ikke vanhellige deres Guds Navn, thi de frembærer HERRENs Ildofre, deres Guds Spise; derfor skal de være hellige.
7 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.
En Horkvinde og en skændet Kvinde må de ikke ægte; heller ikke en Kvinde, der er forstødt af sin Mand, må de ægte; thi han er helliget sin Gud.
8 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.
Du skal regne ham for hellig, thi han frembærer din Guds Spise; han skal være dig hellig, thi hellig er jeg HERREN, som helliger dem.
9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the harlot, she profanes her father. She shall be burnt with fire.
Når en Præstedatter vanhelliger sig ved at bedrive Hor, da vanhelliger hun sin Fader; hun skal brændes på Bål,
10 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,
Den Præst, der er den ypperste blandt sine Brødre, han, over hvis Hoved Salveolien udgydes, og som indsættes ved at iføres Klæderne, må hverken lade sit Hovedhår vokse frit eller sønderrive sine Klæder.
11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother,
Han må ikke gå hen til noget som helst Lig, end ikke ved sin Fader eller Moder må han gøre sig uren.
12 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.
Han må ikke forlade Helligdommen for ikke at vanhellige sin Guds Helligdom, thi hans Guds Salveolies Vielse er på ham; jeg er HERREN!
13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
Han skal ægte en Kvinde, der er Jomfru;
14 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.
en Enke, en forstødt, en skændet, en Horkvinde må han ikke ægte, kun en Jomfru af sin Slægt må han tage til Hustru,
15 And he shall not profane his seed among his people, for I am Jehovah who sanctifies him.
for at han ikke skal vanhellige sit Afkom blandt sin Slægt; thi jeg er HERREN, som helliger ham.
16 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
17 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.
Tal til Aron og sig: Ingen af dit Afkom i de kommende Slægter, som har en Legemsfejl, må træde frem for at frembære sin Guds Spise,
18 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,
det må ingen, som har en Legemsfejl, hverken en blind eller en halt eller en med vansiret Ansigt eller for lang en Legemsdel
19 or a man who is broken-footed, or broken-handed,
eller med Brud på Ben eller Arm
20 or crook-backed, or a dwarf, or who has a blemish in his eye, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or has his testicles broken.
eller en pukkelrygget eller en med Tæring eller en, der har Pletter i Øjnene eller lider af Skab eller Ringorm eller har svulne Testikler.
21 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.
Af Præsten Arons Efterkommere må ingen, som har en Legemsfejl, nærme sig for at frembære HERRENs Ildofre; han har en Legemsfejl, han må ikke nærme sig for at frembære sin Guds Spise.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy,
Han må vel spise sin Guds Spise, både det, som er højhelligt, og det, som er helligt,
23 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.
men til Forhænget må han ikke komme, og Alteret må han ikke nærme sig, thi han har en Legemsfejl og må ikke vanhellige mine hellige Ting; thi jeg er HERREN, som helliger dem.
24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
Og Moses talte således til Aron og hans Sønner og alle Israeliterne.
