< Leviticus 21 >

1 The Lord also said to Moses: Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and you shall say to them: Do not allow a priest to be contaminated by the death of his citizens,
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “पुजारीहरू अर्थात् हारूनका छोराहरूलाई यसो भन्, ‘आफ्ना मानिसहरूका बिचमा मर्नेहरूका निम्ति तिमीहरूमध्ये कोहीले पनि आफूलाई अशुद्ध नबनाउनू,
2 except only by his blood-relatives and near-relatives, that is, by a father or mother, or by a son or daughter, or also a brother,
तर त्यसका नजिकका नातेदारहरू अर्थात् त्यसकी आमा, त्यसको बुबा, छोरा, त्यसकी छोरी, त्यसको दाजु वा भाइ,
3 or a virgin sister, who is not married to a husband.
वा त्यसमा आश्रित त्यसकी कन्या दिदी वा बहिनी जसको पति छैन, यी सबैका निम्ति त्यसले आफैलाई अशुद्ध बनाउन सक्‍छ ।
4 But not even by the leader of his people shall he be contaminated.
तर त्यसले आफ्ना अरू नातेदारहरूका निम्ति आफैलाई अशुद्ध नबनाओस् र आफैलाई अपवित्र नबनाओस् ।
5 Neither shall they shave their head or their beard, and they shall not make incisions in their flesh.
पुजारीहरूले आफ्नो शिर नखौरून् वा तिनीहरूका दाह्रीका कुना-कुना नकाटून्, न त तिनीहरूले आफ्ना शरीरहरू काटून् ।
6 They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not pollute his name. For they offer the incense of the Lord and the bread of their God, and because of this they shall be holy.
तिनीहरू आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरका निम्ति पवित्र रहून्, र तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वरका नाउँको अपमान नगरून्, किनभने पुजारीहरूले परमप्रभुका भोजनको बलिदान अर्थात् तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको भोजन अर्पण गर्दछन् । यसैकारण पुजारीहरू पवित्र रहून् ।
7 They shall not take as a wife a promiscuous woman, or a prostitute, or her who has been repudiated by her husband. For they are consecrated to their God,
तिनीहरू आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरका निम्ति अलग गरिएका हुनाले तिनीहरूले त्यस्ती स्‍त्रीलाई विवाह नगरून् जो एउटी वेश्‍या हो र जो अपवित्र छे, र तिनीहरूले आफ्नो पतिबाट विच्‍छेद भएकी स्‍त्रीलाई विवाह नगरून् ।
8 and they offer the bread of the presence. Therefore, let them be holy, for I also am holy: the Lord, who sanctifies them.
तैँले त्यसलाई अलग राख्‍नू, किनभने परमप्रभुलाई रोटी चढाउने त्यो नै हो । त्यो तेरो निम्ति पवित्र हुनुपर्छ, किनभने, तँलाई पवित्र तुल्‍याउने म परमप्रभु पवित्र छु ।
9 If the daughter of a priest will have been taken into prostitution, and will have violated the name of her father, she shall be consumed by fire.
पुजारीकी छोरी जो वेश्‍या भएर आफैलाई अपवित्र बनाउछे, त्यसले आफ्नो बुबाको अपमान गर्छे । त्यो जलाइयोस् ।
10 The high priest, that is, the priest who is the greatest among his brothers, upon whose head the oil of anointing has been poured, and whose hands have been consecrated for the priesthood, and who has been vested with the holy vestments: he shall not expose his head; he shall not rend his vestments.
आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूका बिचमा प्रधान पुजारी भएको मानिस जसको शिरमा अभिषेकको तेल खन्‍याइएको छ, र प्रधान पुजारीको विशेष पोशाक लगाउनको निम्ति अर्पण गरी पवित्र गरिएको छ, त्यसले आफ्नो केश खुला नछोडोस् वा आफ्ना लुगाहरू नच्यातोस् ।
11 And he shall not enter to any dead body whatsoever; likewise, not even by his father or mother shall he be contaminated.
आफ्नो बुबा वा आफ्नी आमा जो भए तापनि लाश भएको ठाउँमा त्यो नजाओस् र आफैलाई अपवित्र नबनाओस् ।
12 Neither shall he exit from the holy places, lest he pollute the Sanctuary of the Lord. For the oil of the holy anointing of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.
त्यो प्रधान पुजारी पवित्र स्थानबाट बाहिर ननिस्कोस् र त्यसले आफ्नो परमेश्‍वरको पवित्र स्थानलाई अशुद्ध नबनाओस्, किनभने त्यो आफ्नो परमेश्‍वरको अभिषेक गर्ने तेलद्वारा प्रधान पुजारीको रूपमा अर्पण गरिएको छ । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।
13 He shall take a virgin as his wife.
प्रधान पुजारीले आफ्नी पत्‍नीको रूपमा कन्या केटी बिहे गरोस् ।
14 But a widow, or one who has been repudiated or defiled, or also a mistress, he shall not accept, but only a maiden from among his own people.
त्यसले विधवा, विच्‍छेद भएकी स्‍त्री, वा वेश्‍या बिहे नगरोस् । यस्ता स्‍त्रीहरूलाई त्यसले बिहे नगरोस् । त्यसले आफ्नै मानिसहरूबाट एउटा कन्या केटी नै बिहे गरोस्,
15 He shall not mingle the stock of his family with the common people of his nation. For I am the Lord, who sanctifies him.
ताकि त्यसले आफ्ना मानिसहरूका बिचमा आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूलाई अशुद्ध नबनाओस्, किनभने त्यसलाई पवित्र बनाउने परमप्रभु म नै हुँ’ ।”
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,
17 Say to Aaron: A man from your offspring, throughout their families, who has a blemish, shall not offer the bread to his God.
“हारूनलाई यसो भन्, ‘तेरा सारा वंशहरूभित्र तेरा उत्तराधिकारीहरूमा कुनै शारीरिक खोट छ भने, त्यसले आफ्नो परमेश्‍वरलाई भोजन अर्पण गर्न नजिक नआओस् ।
18 Neither shall he approach to minister to him: if he is blind, if he is lame, if he is small, or large, or has a crooked nose,
शारीरिक खोट भएको मानिस परमप्रभुको नजिक नआओस्, जस्तै दृष्‍टिविहीन वा हिँड्न नसक्‍ने मानिस, विरूपित वा आकार विकृत भएको मानिस,
19 if his foot or hand is broken,
हात वा खुट्टा बाँङ्गिएको मानिस,
20 if he has a bulging back or bleary eyes, or if he has a white spot in his eye, or a chronic scab, or a skin disease on his body, or a hernia.
पछाडि ढाडमा मासुको डल्‍ला पलाएको मानिस, वा धेरै पातलो वा होचो मानिस, वा आँखामा खोट भएको मानिस, वा रोग लागेको, घाउ भएको, चर्मरोग लागेको, वा अन्डाकोष पिसिएको मानिस ।
21 Anyone from the offspring of Aaron, the priest, who has a blemish, shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor the bread to his God.
पुजारी हारूनका उत्तराधिकारीहरूका बिचबाट शारीरिक खोट भएको कोही मानिस पनि परमप्रभुको निम्ति होमबलि अर्पण गर्नलाई नजिक नआओस् । शारीरिक खोट भएको मानिस आफ्नो परमप्रभुको रोटी अर्पण गर्न नजिक नआओस् ।
22 Nevertheless, he shall eat from the loaves which are offered in the Sanctuary.
परमेश्‍वरको अति पवित्र वा पवित्र भोजनबाट त्यसले खान मिल्छ ।
23 But even so, he may not enter within the veil, nor approach to the altar. For he has a blemish, and he must not contaminate my Sanctuary. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.
तर, त्यो पर्दाभित्र प्रवेश नगरोस्, न त वेदीको नजिक आओस्, किनभने त्यसमा शारीरिक खोट छ, र त्यसले मेरो पवित्र स्थानलाई अशुद्ध नबनाओस्, किनभने तिनीहरूलाई पवित्र बनाउने परमप्रभु मै हुँ’ ।”
24 Therefore, Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all of Israel, everything that had been commanded to him.
यसैले मोशाले यी वचनहरू हारून, तिनका छोराहरू र इस्राएलका सारा मानिसहरूलाई सुनाए ।
