Leviticus 21
1 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the priests, the sons of Aaron, Let no man make himself unclean for the dead among his people;
上主對梅瑟說：」你當訓示亞郎的兒子司祭說：司祭不應為族人的屍體陷於不潔，
2 But only for his near relations, for his mother or his father, his son or his daughter, and his brother;
除非為骨肉至親，如母親，父親，兒女，兄弟；
3 And for his sister, a virgin, for she is his near relation and has had no husband, he may make himself unclean.
未出嫁而仍為處女的姊妹，為她的屍體，司祭可陷於不潔；
4 But let him, being a chief among his people, not make himself unclean in such a way as to put shame on himself.
但司祭不可因身為丈夫，而為姻親的屍身，陷於不潔，褻瀆己身。
5 They are not to have their hair cut off for the dead, or the hair on their chins cut short, or make cuts in their flesh.
司祭的頭髮不可剃光，鬍鬚的邊緣，不可修剪，也不可紋身割傷。
6 Let them be holy to their God and not make the name of their God common; for the fire offerings of the Lord and the bread of their God are offered by them, and they are to be holy.
他們對天主應是聖的，不可褻瀆天主的名號，因為是他們奉獻上主的火祭，作為天主的供物，所以應是聖的。
7 They may not take as wife a loose or common woman, or one who has been put away by her husband: for the priest is holy to his God.
司祭不可娶妓女和受玷汙的女人為妻，也不可娶為丈夫離棄的女人，因為他是祝聖於天主的人。
8 And he is to be holy in your eyes, for by him the bread of your God is offered; he is to be holy in your eyes, for I the Lord, who make you holy, am holy.
逤所以你應以他為聖，因為他把供物奉獻給你的天主，他對於你應是聖的，因為使你們成聖的我上主，是聖的。
9 And if the daughter of a priest makes herself common and by her loose behaviour puts shame on her father, let her be burned with fire.
若司祭的女兒賣淫褻瀆自己，她是褻瀆自己的父親，應用火燒死。[大司祭的聖潔]
10 And he who is the chief priest among his brothers, on whose head the holy oil has been put, who is marked out to put on the holy robes, may not let his hair go loose or have his clothing out of order as a sign of sorrow.
兄弟中身分最高的司祭，頭上既倒過聖油，又被祝聖穿了祭衣，不可披頭散髮，不可撕裂自己的衣服。
11 He may not go near any dead body or make himself unclean for his father or his mother;
不可走近死人的屍體，也不可為父親或母親的屍體陷於不潔。
12 He may not go out of the holy place or make the holy place of his God common; for the crown of the holy oil of his God is on him: I am the Lord.
也不可走出聖所，免得褻瀆天主的聖所，因為在他頭上有天主傅油的神印：我是上主。
13 And let him take as his wife one who has not had relations with a man.
他應娶處女為妻，
14 A widow, or one whose husband has put her away, or a common woman of loose behaviour, may not be the wife of a priest; but let him take a virgin from among his people.
寡婦，棄婦或受玷污的妓女，這樣的女人，決不可娶；只可娶本族中的處女為妻，
15 And he may not make his seed unclean among his people, for I the Lord have made him holy.
以免褻瀆本族的後裔，因為那使他成聖的是我，上主。[作司祭的阻礙]
16 And the Lord said to Moses,
上主訓示梅瑟：」
17 Say to Aaron, If a man of your family, in any generation, is damaged in body, let him not come near to make the offering of the bread of his God.
你告訴亞郎說：世世代代你的後裔中，凡身上有缺陷的，不得前去向天主奉獻供物；
18 For any man whose body is damaged may not come near: one who is blind, or has not the use of his legs, or one who has a broken nose or any unnatural growth,
凡身上有缺陷的，不准前去：不論是眼瞎，腳跛，殘廢，畸形的，
19 Or a man with broken feet or hands,
或是斷手斷腳的，
20 Or one whose back is bent, or one who is unnaturally small, or one who has a damaged eye, or whose skin is diseased, or whose sex parts are damaged;
或是駝背，矮小，眼生白翳，身上有痲疹或癬疥，或是睪丸破碎的人。
21 No man of the offspring of Aaron whose body is damaged in any way may come near to give the fire offerings of the Lord: he is damaged, he may not come near to make the offerings.
亞郎司祭的後裔中，凡身上有缺陷的，不得去奉獻上主的火祭；他身上既有缺陷，就不應給天主奉獻供物。
22 He may take of the bread of God, the holy and the most holy;
天主的供物，不論是至聖的或聖的，他都可以吃；
23 But he may not go inside the veil or come near the altar, because he is damaged; and he may not make my holy places common; for I the Lord have made them holy.
卻不可進入帳慢後，或走近祭壇前，因為他身上有缺陷，免得他褻瀆我的聖所，因為使他們成聖的是我，上主。「
24 These are the words which Moses said to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel.
梅瑟就這樣訓示了亞郎和他的兒子，以及全體以色列子民。
