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,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, Lea ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa fakaʻuliʻi ha tokotaha koeʻuhi ko e pekia ʻoku ʻi hono kakai:

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.

Ka koeʻuhi ko hono kāinga moʻoni, ʻoku ofi kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene faʻē, pea mo ʻene tamai, pea mo hono foha, pea mo hono ʻofefine, pea mo hono tokoua,

3 And for his sister a virgin, who is near to him, who has had no husband, for her he may defile himself.

Pea koeʻuhi ko hono tuofefine ko e tāupoʻou, ʻaia ʻoku ofi kiate ia, pea kuo teʻeki ai hano husepāniti; ʻoku ngofua ʻene taʻemaʻa koeʻuhi ko ia.

4 He shall not defile himself, who is a chief man among his people, to profane himself.

Kaeʻoua naʻa ne fakaʻuliʻi ia koeʻuhi ko ha taha ʻeiki ʻi hono kakai, ke ne taʻemaʻa ai.

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.

“ʻE ʻikai tenau tekefua honau ʻulu, pe tele hono potu tuliki ʻoe kava, pe fai ha tafatafaʻi ʻi honau sino.

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.

Tenau māʻoniʻoni ki honau ʻOtua, kaeʻoua naʻa fakaongokoviʻi ʻae huafa ʻo honau ʻOtua: he ko e ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova ʻoku ngaohi ʻi he afi, pea ʻoku nau ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa honau ʻOtua; ko ia ʻe māʻoniʻoni ai ʻakinautolu.

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.

‌ʻE ʻikai tenau fakamaʻu mali mo ha fefine faʻa feʻauaki, pe ha taʻelotu; pea ʻoua naʻa nau maʻu ʻae fefine kuo tukuange mei hono mali: he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ia ki hono ʻOtua.

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.

Ko ia ke ke fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ia; he ʻoku ne ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa ho ʻOtua; ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia kiate koe: he ko au Sihova, ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni.

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.

Pea ko e ʻofefine ʻo ha taulaʻeiki, kapau ʻoku ne fakahalaʻi ʻe ia ia ʻi he fai feʻauaki, ʻoku ne fakahalaʻi ʻene tamai: ʻe tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi.

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,

“Pea ko ia ʻoku taulaʻeiki lahi ʻi hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻaia naʻe lingi ki hono ʻulu ʻae lolo ʻoe fakanofo, pea kuo fakatapui ke ʻai ʻae ngaahi kofu, ʻe ʻikai toʻo ʻe ia hono tatā, pe hae hono kofu;

11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother,

Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻalu ia ki ha sino ʻoku mate, pe fakahalaʻi ʻe ia ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene tamai, pe ko ʻene faʻē;

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.

Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia kituaʻā ʻi he faletapu, pe fakahalaʻi ʻae faletapu ʻo hono ʻOtua; he ko e tatā ʻoe lolo tākai ʻo hono ʻOtua ʻoku ʻiate ia: Ko au ko Sihova.

13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

Pea te ne fili ʻe ia hono uaifi ko e tāupoʻou.

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.

Ko e fefine paea, pe ko e fefine fakamāvae, pe ko e taʻelotu, pe ko e feʻauaki, ko kinautolu ni ʻe ʻikai te ne fili: kae maʻu ʻe ia ha taʻahine mei hono kakai ko hono uaifi.

15 And he shall not profane his seed among his people, for I am Jehovah who sanctifies him.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakahalaʻi ʻe ia hono hako ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hono kakai: he ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ia.”

16 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

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.

Lea kia ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia ʻi ho hako ʻi honau toʻutangata kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻiate ia hano mele, ʻoua naʻa ʻunuʻunu mai ia ke ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa hono ʻOtua.

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,

He ko e tangata ko ia ʻoku ai hano mele, ʻoua naʻa ʻunuʻunu mai ia: ko e tangata kui, pe ko e ketu, pe ko ia ʻoku ihu lafalafa, pe ai haʻane anga ʻoku kehe,

19 or a man who is broken-footed, or broken-handed,

Pe ha tangata ʻoku veʻe fasi, pe nima fasi,

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.

‌ʻAe tuʻa piko pe ko e kihi, pe hangatāmakia hono mata, pe ko e kamaa, pe ko e mongumangu, pe ko e tangapula.

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.

‌ʻIlonga ʻae tangata ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki ʻoku ʻiate ia ha mele, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻunuʻunu mai ia ke ʻatu kia Sihova ʻae feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi: ʻoku ʻiate ia hano mele; ʻe ʻikai ofi mai ia ke ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa hono ʻOtua.

22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy,

‌ʻE kai ʻe ia ʻae mā ʻa hono ʻOtua, ʻio, ʻae māʻoniʻoni lahi, pea mo e māʻoniʻoni pe.

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.

Ka koeʻuhi pe ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻalu ki he loto puipui, pe hoko ʻo ofi ki he feilaulauʻanga, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻiate ia hano mele; ke ʻoua naʻa fakahalaʻi ʻe ia hoku ngaahi potu tapu: he ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoni ʻakinautolu.”

24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.

Pea naʻe tala ia ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone, pea ki hono ngaahi foha, pea ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli.
