Leviticus 21
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and thou shalt tell them [that] they shall not defile themselves in their nation for the dead,
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 [they may mourn] for a relative who is very near to them, for a father and mother, and sons and daughters, for a brother,
除非為骨肉至親，如母親，父親，兒女，兄弟；
3 and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself.
未出嫁而仍為處女的姊妹，為她的屍體，司祭可陷於不潔；
4 He shall not defile himself suddenly among his people to profane 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 And ye shall not shave your head for the dead with a baldness on the top; and they shall not shave their beard, neither shall they make gashes on 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 They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for they offer the sacrifices of the Lord as the gifts of their God, and they shall 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 shall not take a woman who is a harlot and profaned, or a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy to the Lord 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 thou shalt hallow him; he offers the gifts of the Lord your God: he shall be holy, for I the Lord that sanctify them [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 should be profaned to go a whoring, she profanes the name of her father: she shall be burnt 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 the priest that is chief among his brethren, the oil having been poured upon the head of the anointed one, and he having been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not take the mitre off his head, and shall not rend his garments:
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 neither shall he go in to any dead body, neither shall he defile himself 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 And he shall not go forth out of the sanctuary, and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, because the holy anointing oil of God [is] upon 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 He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.
他應娶處女為妻，
14 But a widow, or one that is put away, or profaned, or a harlot, these he shall not take; but he shall take for a wife a virgin of his own 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 shall not profane his seed among his people: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies him.
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 spoke to Moses, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟：」
17 Say to Aaron, A man of thy tribe throughout your generations, who shall have a blemish on him, shall not draw nigh to offer the gifts 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 No man who has a blemish on him shall draw nigh; a man blind, lame, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut,
凡身上有缺陷的，不准前去：不論是眼瞎，腳跛，殘廢，畸形的，
19 a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot,
或是斷手斷腳的，
20 or hump-backed, or blear-eyed, or that has lost his eye-lashes, or a man who has a malignant ulcer, or tetter, or one that has lost a testicle.
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 Whoever of the seed of Aaron the priest has a blemish on him, shall not draw nigh to offer sacrifices to thy God, because he has a blemish on him; he shall not draw nigh to offer the gifts of God.
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 The gifts of God [are] most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things.
天主的供物，不論是至聖的或聖的，他都可以吃；
23 Only he shall not approach the veil, and he shall not draw nigh to the altar, because he has a blemish; and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, for I am the Lord that sanctifies them.
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 And Moses spoke to Aaron and 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。
