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,
Y Jehová dijo a Moisés: Habla a los sacerdotes, hijos de Aarón, y díles que por ninguna alma se contaminen en sus pueblos:
2 except for his immediate family—his mother, father, son, daughter, or brother,
Mas por su pariente cercano a sí, como por su madre, o por su padre, o por su hijo, o por su hija, o por su hermano,
3 or his unmarried sister who is near to him, since she has no husband.
O por su hermana virgen cercana a sí, que no haya tenido varón, por ella se contaminará.
4 He is not to defile himself for those related to him by marriage, and so profane himself.
No se contaminará por el príncipe en sus pueblos ensuciándose.
5 Priests must not make bald spots on their heads, shave off the edges of their beards, or make cuts in their bodies.
No harán calva en su cabeza, ni raerán la punta de su barba, ni en su carne harán rasguño.
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.
Santos serán a su Dios, y no ensuciarán el nombre de su Dios, porque los fuegos de Jehová, el pan de su Dios ofrecen, por tanto serán santos.
7 A priest must not marry a woman defiled by prostitution or divorced by her husband, for the priest is holy to his God.
Mujer ramera, o infame no tomarán: ni tomarán mujer repudiada de su marido: porque es santo a su Dios.
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.
Y santificarle has, porque el pan de tu Dios ofrece: santo será a ti, porque santo soy yo Jehová vuestro santificador.
9 If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by prostituting herself, she profanes her father; she must be burned in the fire.
Ítem, la hija del varón sacerdote, cuando comenzare a fornicar, a su padre contamina, será quemada en fuego.
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.
Ítem, el sumo sacerdote entre sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fue derramado el aceite de la unción, y que hinchió su mano para vestir las vestiduras, no descubrirá su cabeza, ni romperá sus vestidos.
11 He must not go near any dead body; he must not defile himself, even for his father or mother.
Ni entrará a ninguna persona muerta, ni por su padre, o por su madre se contaminará.
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.
Ni saldrá del santuario, ni ensuciará el santuario de su Dios; porque la corona del aceite de la unción de su Dios está sobre él: Yo Jehová.
13 The woman he marries must be a virgin.
Ítem, él tomará mujer con su virginidad.
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,
Viuda, o repudiada, o infame, o ramera, estas no tomará: mas virgen tomará de sus pueblos: por mujer.
15 so that he does not defile his offspring among his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.”
Y no ensuciará su simiente en sus pueblos: porque yo Jehová soy el que le santifico.
16 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Ítem, Jehová habló a Moisés, diciendo:
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.
Habla a Aarón, y díle: El varón de tu simiente en sus generaciones, en el cual hubiere falta, no se allegará para ofrecer el pan de su Dios:
18 No man who has any defect may approach—no man who is blind, lame, disfigured, or deformed;
Porque ningún varón, en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará: varón ciego, o cojo, o falto, o sobrado de nariz,
19 no man who has a broken foot or hand,
O varón en el cual hubiere quebradura de pie, o quebradura de mano:
20 or who is a hunchback or dwarf, or who has an eye defect, a festering rash, scabs, or a crushed testicle.
O corcobado, o lagañoso, o que tuviere nube en el ojo, o que tuviere sarna, o empeine, o compañón quebrado.
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.
Ningún varón de la simiente de Aarón sacerdote, en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará para ofrecer las ofrendas encendidas de Jehová. ¿ Hay falta en él? no se allegará a ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
22 He may eat the most holy food of his God as well as the holy food,
El pan de su Dios de las santidades de santidades, y las cosas santificadas comerá.
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.’”
Empero no entrará del velo adentro, ni se allegará al altar, por cuanto hay falta en él: y no ensuciará mi santuario, porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.
24 Moses told this to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites.
Y Moisés habló a Aarón, y a sus hijos, y a todos los hijos de Israel.
