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,
Og HERREN sagde til Moses: Tal til Præsterne, Arons Sønner, og sig til dem: Præsten maa ikke gøre sig uren ved Lig blandt sin Slægt,
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,
medmindre det er hans nærmeste kødelige Slægtninge, hans Moder eller Fader, hans Søn eller Datter, hans Broder
3 and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself.
eller Søster, for saa vidt hun var Jomfru og endnu hørte til hans Familie og ikke var gift; i saa Fald maa han gøre sig uren ved hende;
4 He shall not defile himself suddenly among his people to profane himself.
men han maa ikke gøre sig uren ved hende, naar hun var gift med en Mand af hans Slægt, og saaledes paadrage sig Vanhelligelse.
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.
De maa ikke klippe sig en skaldet Plet paa deres Hoved, ikke studse deres Skæg eller gøre Indsnit i deres Legeme.
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.
Hellige skal de være for deres Gud og maa ikke vanhellige deres Guds Navn, thi de frembærer HERRENS Ildofre, deres Guds Spise; derfor skal de være hellige.
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.
En Horkvinde og en skændet Kvinde maa de ikke ægte; heller ikke en Kvinde, der er forstødt af sin Mand, maa de ægte; thi han er helliget sin Gud.
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.
Du skal regne ham for hellig, thi han frembærer din Guds Spise; han skal være dig hellig, thi hellig er jeg HERREN, som helliger dem.
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.
Naar en Præstedatter vanhelliger sig ved at bedrive Hor, da vanhelliger hun sin Fader; hun skal brændes paa Baal.
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:
Den Præst, der er den ypperste blandt sine Brødre, han, over hvis Hoved Salveolien udgydes, og som indsættes ved at iføres Klæderne, maa hverken lade sit Hovedhaar vokse frit eller sønderrive sine Klæder.
11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, neither shall he defile himself for his father or his mother.
Han maa ikke gaa hen til noget som helst Lig, end ikke ved sin Fader eller Moder maa han gøre sig uren.
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.
Han maa ikke forlade Helligdommen for ikke at vanhellige sin Guds Helligdom, thi hans Guds Salveolies Vielse er paa ham; jeg er HERREN!
13 He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.
Han skal ægte en Kvinde, der er Jomfru;
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.
en Enke, en forstødt, en skændet, en Horkvinde maa han ikke ægte, kun en Jomfru af sin Slægt maa han tage til Hustru,
15 And he shall not profane his seed among his people: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies him.
for at han ikke skal vanhellige sit Afkom blandt sin Slægt; thi jeg er HERREN, som helliger ham.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
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.
Tal til Aron og sig: Ingen af dit Afkom i de kommende Slægter, som har en Legemsfejl, maa træde frem for at frembære sin Guds Spise,
18 No man who has a blemish on him shall draw nigh; a man blind, lame, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut,
det maa ingen, som har en Legemsfejl, hverken en blind eller en halt eller en med vansiret Ansigt eller for lang en Legemsdel
19 a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot,
eller med Brud paa Ben eller Arm
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.
eller en pukkelrygget eller en med Tæring eller en, der har Pletter i Øjnene eller lider af Skab eller Ringorm eller har svulne Testikler.
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.
Af Præsten Arons Efterkommere maa ingen, som har en Legemsfejl, nærme sig for at frembære HERRENS Ildofre; han har en Legemsfejl, han maa ikke nærme sig for at frembære sin Guds Spise.
22 The gifts of God [are] most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things.
Han maa vel spise sin Guds Spise, baade det, som er højhelligt, og det, som er helligt,
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.
men til Forhænget maa han ikke komme, og Alteret maa han ikke nærme sig, thi han har en Legemsfejl og maa ikke vanhellige mine hellige Ting; thi jeg er HERREN, som helliger dem.
24 And Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
Og Moses talte saaledes til Aron og hans Sønner og alle Israeliterne.
