Leviticus 21

1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Speak unto the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none make himself unclean for a dead person among his peoples,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, Lea ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa fakaʻuliʻi ha tokotaha koeʻuhi ko e pekia ʻoku ʻi hono kakai:

2 except for his immediate relation, who is near unto him — for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother;

Ka koeʻuhi ko hono kāinga moʻoni, ʻoku ofi kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene faʻē, pea mo ʻene tamai, pea mo hono foha, pea mo hono ʻofefine, pea mo hono tokoua,

3 and for his sister, a virgin, that is near unto him, who hath had no husband, for her may he make himself unclean.

Pea koeʻuhi ko hono tuofefine ko e tāupoʻou, ʻaia ʻoku ofi kiate ia, pea kuo teʻeki ai hano husepāniti; ʻoku ngofua ʻene taʻemaʻa koeʻuhi ko ia.

4 He shall not make himself unclean [who is] a chief among his peoples, to profane himself.

Kaeʻoua naʻa ne fakaʻuliʻi ia koeʻuhi ko ha taha ʻeiki ʻi hono kakai, ke ne taʻemaʻa ai.

5 They shall not make any baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

“ʻE ʻikai tenau tekefua honau ʻulu, pe tele hono potu tuliki ʻoe kava, pe fai ha tafatafaʻi ʻi honau sino.

6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they present Jehovah's offerings by fire, the bread of their God; therefore shall they be holy.

Tenau māʻoniʻoni ki honau ʻOtua, kaeʻoua naʻa fakaongokoviʻi ʻae huafa ʻo honau ʻOtua: he ko e ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova ʻoku ngaohi ʻi he afi, pea ʻoku nau ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa honau ʻOtua; ko ia ʻe māʻoniʻoni ai ʻakinautolu.

7 They shall not take as wife a whore, or a dishonoured woman; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy unto his God.

‌ʻE ʻikai tenau fakamaʻu mali mo ha fefine faʻa feʻauaki, pe ha taʻelotu; pea ʻoua naʻa nau maʻu ʻae fefine kuo tukuange mei hono mali: he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ia ki hono ʻOtua.

8 And thou shalt hallow him; for the bread of thy God doth he present: he shall be holy unto thee; for I, Jehovah, who hallow you am holy.

Ko ia ke ke fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ia; he ʻoku ne ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa ho ʻOtua; ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia kiate koe: he ko au Sihova, ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni.

9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burned with fire.

Pea ko e ʻofefine ʻo ha taulaʻeiki, kapau ʻoku ne fakahalaʻi ʻe ia ia ʻi he fai feʻauaki, ʻoku ne fakahalaʻi ʻene tamai: ʻe tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi.

10 And the high priest among his brethren, on whose head the anointing oil was poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his garments.

“Pea ko ia ʻoku taulaʻeiki lahi ʻi hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻaia naʻe lingi ki hono ʻulu ʻae lolo ʻoe fakanofo, pea kuo fakatapui ke ʻai ʻae ngaahi kofu, ʻe ʻikai toʻo ʻe ia hono tatā, pe hae hono kofu;

11 Neither shall he come near any person dead, nor make himself unclean for his father and for his mother;

Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻalu ia ki ha sino ʻoku mate, pe fakahalaʻi ʻe ia ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene tamai, pe ko ʻene faʻē;

12 neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am Jehovah.

Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia kituaʻā ʻi he faletapu, pe fakahalaʻi ʻae faletapu ʻo hono ʻOtua; he ko e tatā ʻoe lolo tākai ʻo hono ʻOtua ʻoku ʻiate ia: Ko au ko Sihova.

13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

Pea te ne fili ʻe ia hono uaifi ko e tāupoʻou.

14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or a dishonoured one, a harlot, these shall he not take; but he shall take as wife a virgin from among his peoples.

Ko e fefine paea, pe ko e fefine fakamāvae, pe ko e taʻelotu, pe ko e feʻauaki, ko kinautolu ni ʻe ʻikai te ne fili: kae maʻu ʻe ia ha taʻahine mei hono kakai ko hono uaifi.

15 And he shall not profane his seed among his peoples; for I am Jehovah who do hallow him.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakahalaʻi ʻe ia hono hako ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hono kakai: he ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ia.”

16 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Any of thy seed throughout their generations that hath any defect, shall not approach to present the bread of his God;

Lea kia ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia ʻi ho hako ʻi honau toʻutangata kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻiate ia hano mele, ʻoua naʻa ʻunuʻunu mai ia ke ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa hono ʻOtua.

18 for whatever man hath a defect, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or one limb longer than the other,

He ko e tangata ko ia ʻoku ai hano mele, ʻoua naʻa ʻunuʻunu mai ia: ko e tangata kui, pe ko e ketu, pe ko ia ʻoku ihu lafalafa, pe ai haʻane anga ʻoku kehe,

19 or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,

Pe ha tangata ʻoku veʻe fasi, pe nima fasi,

20 or hump-backed, or withered, or that hath a spot in his eye, or hath the itch, or scabs, or his testicles broken.

‌ʻAe tuʻa piko pe ko e kihi, pe hangatāmakia hono mata, pe ko e kamaa, pe ko e mongumangu, pe ko e tangapula.

21 No man of the seed of Aaron the priest that hath defect shall come near to present Jehovah's offerings by fire: he hath a defect; he shall not come near to present the bread of his God.

‌ʻIlonga ʻae tangata ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki ʻoku ʻiate ia ha mele, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻunuʻunu mai ia ke ʻatu kia Sihova ʻae feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi: ʻoku ʻiate ia hano mele; ʻe ʻikai ofi mai ia ke ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa hono ʻOtua.

22 The bread of his God, of the most holy and of the holy, shall he eat;

‌ʻE kai ʻe ia ʻae mā ʻa hono ʻOtua, ʻio, ʻae māʻoniʻoni lahi, pea mo e māʻoniʻoni pe.

23 only he shall not come in unto the veil, nor shall he draw near unto the altar; for he hath a defect: that he profane not my sanctuaries; for I am Jehovah who do hallow them.

Ka koeʻuhi pe ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻalu ki he loto puipui, pe hoko ʻo ofi ki he feilaulauʻanga, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻiate ia hano mele; ke ʻoua naʻa fakahalaʻi ʻe ia hoku ngaahi potu tapu: he ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoni ʻakinautolu.”

24 And Moses told it to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.

Pea naʻe tala ia ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone, pea ki hono ngaahi foha, pea ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli.
