Leviticus 21
1 The Lord told Moses, “Tell Aaron's sons, the priests: A priest is not to make himself unclean by touching the dead body of any of his relatives.
Jahve još reče Mojsiju: “Govori svećenicima, Aronovim sinovima, i reci im: Neka se nitko ne okalja dodirom pokojnika u svome narodu,
2 The only exceptions are for his immediate family. This includes his mother, father, son, daughter, or brother,
osim svoje najbliže rodbine: svoje majke, svoga oca, svoga sina, svoje kćeri i svojega brata.
3 or his unmarried sister since she is a close relative because she doesn't have a husband.
I svojom sestrom, djevicom, koja mu je također najbliža, jer nije bila udata, može se okaljati.
4 He must not make himself unclean for those only related to him by marriage—he is not to make himself ceremonially impure.
Ali neka se ne okalja svojom svojtom i tako se oskvrne.
5 Priests are not to shave bald spots on their heads, trim the sides of their beards, or cut their bodies.
Neka ne briju glave; neka ne šišaju okrajke svojih brada niti prave ureze na svome tijelu.
6 They must be holy to their God and not disgrace their God's reputation. They are the one who present the food offerings to the Lord, the food of their God. Consequently they must be holy.
Neka budu posvećeni svome Bogu; neka ne oskvrnjuju ime svoga Boga, jer oni prinose žrtve u čast Jahvi paljene, hranu Boga svoga. Zato moraju biti sveti.
7 A priest is not to marry a woman made unclean through prostitution or who is divorced by her husband, for the priest must be holy to his God.
Neka se ne žene javnom bludnicom i obeščašćenom ženom; niti se smiju ženiti onom koju je njezin muž otpustio. Jer je svećenik posvećen svome Bogu.
8 You shall consider him holy because he presents the food offerings to your God. He shall be holy to you, because I am holy. I am the Lord, and I chose you as my special people.
Svetim ga drži, jer on prinosi hranu tvoga Boga. Neka ti je svet, jer sam svet ja, Jahve, koji vas posvećujem.
9 A priest's daughter who makes herself unclean through prostitution makes her father unclean. She must be executed by burning.
Ako se kći kojeg svećenika oskvrne podavši se javnom bludništvu, ona oca svoga skvrne, pa se mora na vatri spaliti.”
10 The high priest has the highest place among the other priests. He has been anointed with olive oil poured on his head and has been ordained to wear the priestly clothing. He must not leave his hair uncombed or tear his clothes.
“A svećenik koji je najveći među svojom braćom, na čiju je glavu bilo izliveno ulje pomazanja i koji je posvećen da nosi svetu odjeću, neka ne ide raščupane kose niti razdire svoje odjeće.
11 He is not to go near any dead body. He must not make himself unclean, even it is for his own father or mother.
Neka ne ulazi nijednom mrtvacu; ne smije se okaljati ni za svojim ocem ni za svojom majkom.
12 He must not leave to deal with someone who has died or make the sanctuary of his God unclean because he has been dedicated by the anointing oil of his God. I am the Lord.
Neka ne izlazi iz Svetišta, tako da ne oskvrne Svetište svoga Boga, jer na sebi nosi posvećenje uljem pomazanja Boga svoga. Ja sam Jahve!
13 He can only marry a virgin.
Neka za ženu uzme djevicu.
14 He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or one made unclean through prostitution. He has to marry a virgin from his own people,
Udovicom, otpuštenicom, obeščašćenom i bludnicom ne smije se ženiti. Jedino djevicom između svoga naroda neka se ženi;
15 so that he doesn't make his children unclean among his people, for I am the Lord who makes him holy.”
tako neće oskvrnuti svoga potomstva među svojim narodom, jer ja, Jahve, njega posvećujem.”
16 The Lord told Moses,
Jahve reče Mojsiju:
17 “Tell Aaron: These rules apply for all future generations. If any of your descendants has a physical defect, he is not allowed to come and present the food offerings of his God.
“Reci Aronu: 'Nitko od tvojih potomaka, za njihovih naraštaja, koji imadne kakvu tjelesnu manu ne smije se primaknuti da prinosi hranu svoga Boga.
18 No man is allowed to do this if he has any defects, including anyone who is blind, crippled, facially disfigured, or has deformities,
Ni jedan na kome bude mane ne smije se primaknuti: nitko koji je slijep ili sakat; nitko izobličen ili iznakažena kojeg uda;
19 anyone who has a broken foot or arm,
nitko tko ima slomljenu nogu ili ruku;
20 anyone who is a hunchback or dwarf, or who has cataracts, skin sores or scabs, or a damaged testicle.
ni poguren, ni kržljav, ni bolesnih očiju, ni lišajav, ni krastav, niti uškopljenik.
21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a defect is allowed to come and present the food offerings to the Lord. Because he has a defect, he must not come and offer the food of his God.
Dakle, ni jedan od potomaka svećenika Arona koji imadne manu neka se ne primiče da prinosi u čast Jahvi paljenu žrtvu; budući da ima manu, neka se ne primiče da prinosi hranu svoga Boga.
22 He is still allowed to eat the food from the Most Holy Place of his God and also from the sanctuary,
Može blagovati hranu svoga Boga i od žrtava presvetih, i svetih,
23 but because he has a defect, he is not allowed to go near the curtain or the altar, so that my sanctuary and everything in it are not made unclean, because I am the Lord who makes them holy.”
ali neka ne dolazi k zavjesi niti se žrtveniku primiče jer ima manu. Neka ne skvrne mojih svetih stvari, jer sam ih ja, Jahve, posvetio.'”
24 Moses repeated this to Aaron and his sons, and to all the Israelites.
Mojsije to kaza Aronu, njegovim sinovima i svim Izraelcima.
