Leviticus 21
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron’s sons, the priests, and tell them that a priest is not to defile himself for a dead person among his people,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Wuo kod jodolo ma yawuot Harun, kendo iwachnegi ni: ‘Kik jadolo tim gimoro ne ringre jadhodgi moro amora motho ma dimi obed mogak,
2 except for his immediate family—his mother, father, son, daughter, or brother,
makmana kaponi ngʼat ma othoni en watne manie ot kaka min kata wuon kata wuode kata nyare kata owadgi,
3 or his unmarried sister who is near to him, since she has no husband.
kata nyamin-gi manie lwete mapok okendi. Nyamin-gi mapok okendino kende ema nyalo miyo obed mogak.
4 He is not to defile himself for those related to him by marriage, and so profane himself.
Kik obed mogak kuom mulo ringre joma otho ma gin wedene kuom kend.
5 Priests must not make bald spots on their heads, shave off the edges of their beards, or make cuts in their bodies.
“‘Jodolo ok oyienegi mondo giliel wigi, kata tito yie tikgi bende kik gisar dendgi.
6 They must be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God. Because they present to the LORD the offerings made by fire, the food of their God, they must be holy.
Nyaka gibed jomaler e nyim Nyasachgi, kendo kik gicha nying Nyasachgi. Nikech gin ema gichiwo misengini miwangʼo e mach ni Jehova Nyasaye, ma en chiemb Nyasachgi, omiyo nyaka gibed maler.
7 A priest must not marry a woman defiled by prostitution or divorced by her husband, for the priest is holy to his God.
“‘Jodolo ok oyienegi kendo nyako mochot kata nyako mosewere gi chwore, nikech jodolo nyaka bed maler e nyim Nyasachgi.
8 You are to regard him as holy, since he presents the food of your God. He shall be holy to you, because I the LORD am holy—I who set you apart.
Kwan-giuru kaka jomaler, nikech gin ema gichiwo chiemo ni Nyasachu. Kawgiuru kaka jomaler nikech an Jehova Nyasaye aler; an mamiyo ubedo maler.
9 If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by prostituting herself, she profanes her father; she must be burned in the fire.
“‘Ka nyar jadolo olokore ochot, to nyakoni okuodo wi wuon-gi, omiyo nyaka wangʼe gi mach.
10 The priest who is highest among his brothers, who has had the anointing oil poured on his head and has been ordained to wear the priestly garments, must not let his hair hang loose or tear his garments.
“‘Jadolo maduongʼ e kind owetene, kendo moseol mor pwodhruok e wiye, kendo owal mondo orwak lep dolo, kik owe wiye obed mogar, kata kik orwak law moyiech.
11 He must not go near any dead body; he must not defile himself, even for his father or mother.
Jadolono ok oyiene donjo e ot ma ngʼato othoe. Kik obed mogak kata bedni ngʼatno en wuon mare kata min mare,
12 He must not leave or desecrate the sanctuary of his God, for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is on him. I am the LORD.
kata kik owuogi koa kama ler mar lemo mar Nyasache, kata miyo kanyo bedo mogak, nikech en ngʼama owal kendo owir gi mor pwodhruok mar Nyasache. An e Jehova Nyasaye.
13 The woman he marries must be a virgin.
“‘Nyako mokendo nyaka bed nyako ngili.
14 He is not to marry a widow, a divorced woman, or one defiled by prostitution. He is to marry a virgin from his own people,
Kik okend dhako ma chwore otho, kata dhako mowere gi chwore, kata dhako mochot, makmana nyako ngili,
15 so that he does not defile his offspring among his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.”
mondo omi kik onywol nyithindo mogak e kind ogandane. An e Jehova Nyasaye mamiyo obedo maler.’”
16 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
17 “Say to Aaron, ‘For the generations to come, none of your descendants who has a physical defect may approach to offer the food of his God.
“Nyis Harun ni: ‘Kuom tiengeu duto, onge ngʼama ongʼol ma oyiene mondo ochiw chiemo ni Nyasache.
18 No man who has any defect may approach—no man who is blind, lame, disfigured, or deformed;
Ngʼato angʼata man-gi songa kik sud machiegni gi Nyasaye, obed ni en muofu kata rangʼol, kata ma dende kamoro otimo mbala,
19 no man who has a broken foot or hand,
kata ka tiende kata bade ongʼol,
20 or who is a hunchback or dwarf, or who has an eye defect, a festering rash, scabs, or a crushed testicle.
kata ka en rakuom kata othwogo, kata ka en rachiero, kata ka wangʼe chwero pi, kata ka en gi adhola monyaa kata ka en bwoch.
21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall approach to present the offerings made by fire to the LORD. Since he has a defect, he is not to come near to offer the food of his God.
Nyakwar Harun moro amora man-gi songa kik sud machiegni mar timo ne Jehova Nyasaye misango miwangʼo. Nikech en gi songa ok onego osud machiegni mondo ochiw chiemo ne Nyasache.
22 He may eat the most holy food of his God as well as the holy food,
Onyalo chamo chiemb Nyasache, bedni ogol chiemono kuom gik maler kata kuom gik maler moloyo;
23 but because he has a defect, he must not go near the veil or approach the altar, so as not to desecrate My sanctuaries. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
to nikech ngʼol mare ok onego osud machiegni gi Pasia kata gi kendo mar misango, nikech dipo ka omiyo kara maler mar lemo obedo mogak nimar en gi songa. An e Jehova Nyasaye mapwodhogi.’”
24 Moses told this to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites.
Kuom mano Musa nonyiso Harun gi yawuote kod jo-Israel duto wachno.
