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;
Још рече Господ Мојсију: Кажи свештеницима синовима Ароновим, и реци им: За мртвацем да се не скврни ни један у народу свом,
2 But only for his near relations, for his mother or his father, his son or his daughter, and his brother;
Осим за родом својим по крви, за матером својом или за оцем својим или за сином својим или за кћерју својом или за братом својим,
3 And for his sister, a virgin, for she is his near relation and has had no husband, he may make himself unclean.
Или за рођеном сестром својом, девојком, која није имала мужа; за њом се може оскврнити.
4 But let him, being a chief among his people, not make himself unclean in such a way as to put shame on himself.
Ако је ожењен, да се не оскврни за женом својом у народу свом учинивши се нечист.
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.
Да се не начине ћелави чупајући косу с главе своје и да не брију браде своје, нити се режу по телу свом.
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.
Нека буду свети Богу свом, и нека не скврне име Бога свог, јер приносе жртве огњене Господње, хлеб Бога свог, зато нека су свети.
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.
Нека се не жене женом курвом или силованом; ни пуштеницом нека се не жене; јер су свети Богу свом.
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.
И теби нека је сваки свет, јер приноси хлеб Бога твог; свет нека ти је, јер сам ја свет, Господ, који вас посвећујем.
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.
А кћи свештеничка која се оскврни курвајући се, скврни оца свог, огњем нека се спали.
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.
А свештеник највиши између браће своје, коме се на главу излије уље помазања и који је посвећен да се облачи у свете хаљине, нека не открива главе своје, и хаљине своје нека не раздире.
11 He may not go near any dead body or make himself unclean for his father or his mother;
И к мртвацу ни једном нека не иде, ни за оцем својим ни за матером својом да се не оскврни.
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.
И из светиње нека не излази, да не би оскврнио светињу Бога свог, јер је на њену венац, уље помазања Бога његовог; ја сам Господ.
13 And let him take as his wife one who has not had relations with a man.
Он нека се жени девицом.
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.
Удовицом или пуштеницом или силованом или курвом да се не жени; него девојком из народа свог нека се ожени.
15 And he may not make his seed unclean among his people, for I the Lord have made him holy.
И нека не скврни семе народа свог у народу свом, јер сам ја Господ, који га посвећујем.
16 And the Lord said to Moses,
Опет рече Господ Мојсију говорећи:
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.
Кажи Арону и реци: У кога би из семена твог од колена до колена била мана на телу, онај нека не приступа да приноси хлеб Бога свог.
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,
Јер нико на коме би била мана не ваља да приступа, ни слеп, ни хром, ни у кога би био који уд превећ мали или превећ велики,
19 Or a man with broken feet or hands,
Ни у кога је сломљена нога или рука,
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;
Ни грбав, ни дрљав, ни ко има биону на оку, ни шугав, ни лишајив, ни просут.
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.
У кога би год из семена Арона свештеника била каква мана на телу, нека не приступа да приноси жртве огњене Господу; мана је на њему; да не приступа да приноси хлеб Бога свог.
22 He may take of the bread of God, the holy and the most holy;
Али хлеб Бога свог од ствари пресветих и од ствари светих нека једе;
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.
Али за завес нека не улази; к олтару нека се не приближује, јер је мана на њему, па нека не скврни светиње моје, јер сам ја Господ који их посвећујем.
24 These are the words which Moses said to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel.
И Мојсије каза то Арону и синовима његовим и свим синовима Израиљевим.
