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,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose wí pe, “Bá àwọn àlùfáà tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Aaroni sọ̀rọ̀, kí o sì sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú wọn kò gbọdọ̀ sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́ nítorí àwọn ènìyàn wọn tí ó kù.
2 except for his immediate family—his mother, father, son, daughter, or brother,
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá ṣe àwọn tí ó súnmọ́ ọn bí ìyá rẹ̀, baba rẹ̀, ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin, àti arákùnrin rẹ̀.
3 or his unmarried sister who is near to him, since she has no husband.
Tàbí fún arábìnrin rẹ̀ tí kò ì tí ì wọ ilé ọkọ tí ó ń gbé lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀. Nítorí tí arábìnrin bẹ́ẹ̀, ó lè sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́.
4 He is not to defile himself for those related to him by marriage, and so profane himself.
Nítorí tí ó jẹ́ olórí, òun kò gbọdọ̀ sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́ láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
5 Priests must not make bald spots on their heads, shave off the edges of their beards, or make cuts in their bodies.
“‘Àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ fá irun orí rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ rẹ́ irùngbọ̀n rẹ̀. Kò gbọdọ̀ fi abẹ ya ara rẹ̀ láti fihàn pé òun wà ní ipò ọ̀fọ̀.
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.
Wọ́n gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ mímọ́ fún Ọlọ́run, kí wọ́n má ba à sọ orúkọ Ọlọ́run wọn di àìmọ́, nítorí pé àwọn ni wọ́n ń fi iná sun ẹbọ sí Olúwa wọn, ti ó jẹ oúnjẹ Ọlọ́run wọn. Nítorí náà wọn gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ mímọ́.
7 A priest must not marry a woman defiled by prostitution or divorced by her husband, for the priest is holy to his God.
“‘Àwọn àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ panṣágà tàbí obìnrin tí ó ti fi ọkùnrin ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́ tàbí obìnrin tí ọkọ rẹ̀ ti kọ̀sílẹ̀ nítorí pé àwọn àlùfáà jẹ́ mímọ́ sí Ọlọ́run wọn.
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.
Àwọn ènìyàn gbọdọ̀ máa kà wọ́n sí mímọ́, nítorí pé àwọn ni wọ́n ń rú ẹbọ oúnjẹ fún mi. Èmi ni Olúwa, mo jẹ́ mímọ́, mo sì ya àwọn ènìyàn mi sí mímọ́.
9 If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by prostituting herself, she profanes her father; she must be burned in the fire.
“‘Bí ọmọbìnrin àlùfáà kan bá fi iṣẹ́ àgbèrè ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́, ó dójútì baba rẹ̀, iná ni a ó dá sun ún.
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.
“‘Lẹ́yìn tí a ti fi òróró yan olórí àlùfáà láàrín àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, tí a sì ti fi àmì òróró yàn án láti máa wọ aṣọ àlùfáà, ó gbọdọ̀ tọ́jú irun orí rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya láti fihàn pé òun wà ní ipò ọ̀fọ̀.
11 He must not go near any dead body; he must not defile himself, even for his father or mother.
Kí ó ma ṣe wọlé tọ òkú lọ, kí ó má ṣe sọ ará rẹ di àìmọ́ nítorí baba tàbí nítorí ìyá rẹ̀.
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.
Kò gbọdọ̀ kúrò ní ibi mímọ́ Ọlọ́run tàbí kí ó sọ ọ́ di aláìmọ́ torí pé a ti fi ìfòróróyàn Ọlọ́run yà á sí mímọ́. Èmi ni Olúwa.
13 The woman he marries must be a virgin.
“‘Ọmọbìnrin tí yóò fẹ́ gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ ẹni tí kò mọ ọkùnrin rí.
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,
Kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ opó tàbí ẹni tí a kọ̀sílẹ̀ tàbí obìnrin tí ó ti fi àgbèrè ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n kí ó fẹ́ obìnrin tí kò mọ ọkùnrin rí, láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
15 so that he does not defile his offspring among his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.”
Kí ó má ba à sọ di aláìmọ́ nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀. Èmi ni Olúwa tí ó sọ ọ́ di mímọ́.’”
16 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Olúwa sì bá Mose sọ̀rọ̀ pé,
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.
“Sọ fún Aaroni pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ ní ìran-ìran wọn, tí ó bá ní ààrùn kan, kí ó má ṣe súnmọ́ tòsí láti rú ẹbọ ohun jíjẹ sí Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
18 No man who has any defect may approach—no man who is blind, lame, disfigured, or deformed;
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ní àbùkù kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ibi ẹbọ náà. Kò gbọdọ̀ sí afọ́jú tàbí arọ, alábùkù ara tàbí àwọn tí ara wọn kò pé.
19 no man who has a broken foot or hand,
Kò gbọdọ̀ sí ẹnikẹ́ni yálà ó rọ lápá lẹ́sẹ̀,
20 or who is a hunchback or dwarf, or who has an eye defect, a festering rash, scabs, or a crushed testicle.
tàbí tí ó jẹ́ abuké, tàbí tí ó ya aràrá tàbí tí ó ní àìsàn ojú tàbí tí ó ní egbò tàbí tí a ti yọ nǹkan ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀.
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.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ní àbùkù nínú irú-ọmọ Aaroni àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ tòsí láti rú ẹbọ tí fi iná sun sí Olúwa. Nítorí pé ó jẹ́ alábùkù, kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ tòsí láti rú ẹbọ àkàrà sí Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
22 He may eat the most holy food of his God as well as the holy food,
Ó lè jẹ́ oúnjẹ Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ tàbí èyí tí ó mọ́ jùlọ, ṣùgbọ́n torí pé ó ní àbùkù kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ibi aṣọ títa tàbí pẹpẹ.
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.’”
Nípa ṣíṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ yóò ba ibi mímọ́ mi jẹ́ torí pé, Èmi Olúwa ló ti sọ wọ́n di mímọ́.’”
24 Moses told this to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites.
Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ohun tí Mose sọ fún Aaroni, àwọn ọmọ Aaroni àti gbogbo ọmọ Israẹli.
