Leviticus 21
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and you shall tell them [that] they shall not defile themselves in their nation for the dead,
Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: Loquere ad sacerdotes filios Aaron, et dices ad eos: Ne contaminetur sacerdos in mortibus civium suorum,
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,
nisi tantum in consanguineis, ac propinquis, id est, super patre et matre, et filio, et filia, fratre quoque,
3 and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself.
et sorore virgine quæ non est nupta viro:
4 He shall not defile himself suddenly amongst his people to profane himself.
sed nec in principe populi sui contaminabitur.
5 And you 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.
Non radent caput, nec barbam, neque in carnibus suis facient incisuras.
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.
Sancti erunt Deo suo, et non polluent nomen eius: incensum enim Domini, et panes Dei sui offerunt, et ideo sancti erunt.
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.
Scortum et vile prostibulum non ducent uxorem, nec eam, quæ repudiata est a marito: quia consecrati sunt Deo suo,
8 And you shall hallow him; he offers the gifts of the Lord your God: he shall be holy, for I the Lord that sanctify them [am] holy.
et panes propositionis offerunt. Sint ergo sancti, quia et ego sanctus sum, Dominus, qui sanctifico eos.
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.
Sacerdotis filia si deprehensa fuerit in stupro, et violaverit nomen patris sui, flammis exuretur.
10 And the priest that is chief amongst 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:
Pontifex, id est, sacerdos maximus inter fratres suos, super cuius caput fusum est unctionis oleum, et cuius manus in sacerdotio consecratæ sunt, vestitusque est sanctis vestibus, caput suum non discooperiet, vestimenta non scindet:
11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, neither shall he defile himself for his father or his mother.
et ad omnem mortuum non ingredietur omnino. super patre quoque suo, et matre non contaminabitur.
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.
Nec egredietur de sanctis, ne polluat Sanctuarium Domini, quia oleum sanctæ unctionis Dei sui super eum est. ego Dominus.
13 He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.
Virginem ducet uxorem:
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.
Viduam autem et repudiatam, et sordidam, atque meretricem non accipiet, sed puellam de populo suo:
15 And he shall not profane his seed amongst his people: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies him.
ne commisceat stirpem generis sui vulgo gentis suæ: quia ego Dominus qui sanctifico eum.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
17 Say to Aaron, A man of your tribe throughout your generations, who shall have a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer the gifts of his God.
Loquere ad Aaron: Homo de semine tuo per familias qui habuerit maculam, non offeret panes Deo suo,
18 No man who has a blemish on him shall draw near; a man blind, lame, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut,
nec accedet ad ministerium eius: si cæcus fuerit, si claudus, si parvo vel grandi, vel torto naso,
19 a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot,
si fracto pede, si manu,
20 or humpbacked, 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.
si gibbus, si lippus, si albuginem habens in oculo, si iugem scabiem, si impetiginem in corpore, vel herniosus.
21 Whoever of the seed of Aaron the priest has a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer sacrifices to your God, because he has a blemish on him; he shall not draw near to offer the gifts of God.
Omnis qui habuerit maculam de semine Aaron sacerdotis, non accedet offerre hostias Domino, nec panes Deo suo:
22 The gifts of God [are] most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things.
vescetur tamen panibus, qui offeruntur in Sanctuario,
23 Only he shall not approach the veil, and he shall not draw near 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.
ita dumtaxat, ut intra velum non ingrediatur, nec accedat ad altare, quia maculam habet, et contaminare non debet Sanctuarium meum. Ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos.
24 And Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
Locutus est ergo Moyses ad Aaron, et ad filios eius, et ad omnem Israel cuncta quæ fuerant sibi imperata.
