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.
Y Jehová dijo a Moisés: Habla a los sacerdotes, hijos de Aarón, y díles que por ninguna alma se contaminen en sus pueblos:
2 The only exceptions are for his immediate family. This includes his mother, father, son, daughter, or brother,
Mas por su pariente cercano a sí, como por su madre, o por su padre, o por su hijo, o por su hija, o por su hermano,
3 or his unmarried sister since she is a close relative because she doesn't have a husband.
O por su hermana virgen cercana a sí, que no haya tenido varón, por ella se contaminará.
4 He must not make himself unclean for those only related to him by marriage—he is not to make himself ceremonially impure.
No se contaminará por el príncipe en sus pueblos ensuciándose.
5 Priests are not to shave bald spots on their heads, trim the sides of their beards, or cut their bodies.
No harán calva en su cabeza, ni raerán la punta de su barba, ni en su carne harán rasguño.
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.
Santos serán a su Dios, y no ensuciarán el nombre de su Dios, porque los fuegos de Jehová, el pan de su Dios ofrecen, por tanto serán santos.
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.
Mujer ramera, o infame no tomarán: ni tomarán mujer repudiada de su marido: porque es santo a su Dios.
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.
Y santificarle has, porque el pan de tu Dios ofrece: santo será a ti, porque santo soy yo Jehová vuestro santificador.
9 A priest's daughter who makes herself unclean through prostitution makes her father unclean. She must be executed by burning.
Ítem, la hija del varón sacerdote, cuando comenzare a fornicar, a su padre contamina, será quemada en fuego.
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.
Ítem, el sumo sacerdote entre sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fue derramado el aceite de la unción, y que hinchió su mano para vestir las vestiduras, no descubrirá su cabeza, ni romperá sus vestidos.
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.
Ni entrará a ninguna persona muerta, ni por su padre, o por su madre se contaminará.
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.
Ni saldrá del santuario, ni ensuciará el santuario de su Dios; porque la corona del aceite de la unción de su Dios está sobre él: Yo Jehová.
13 He can only marry a virgin.
Ítem, él tomará mujer con su virginidad.
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,
Viuda, o repudiada, o infame, o ramera, estas no tomará: mas virgen tomará de sus pueblos: por mujer.
15 so that he doesn't make his children unclean among his people, for I am the Lord who makes him holy.”
Y no ensuciará su simiente en sus pueblos: porque yo Jehová soy el que le santifico.
16 The Lord told Moses,
Ítem, Jehová habló a Moisés, diciendo:
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.
Habla a Aarón, y díle: El varón de tu simiente en sus generaciones, en el cual hubiere falta, no se allegará para ofrecer el pan de su Dios:
18 No man is allowed to do this if he has any defects, including anyone who is blind, crippled, facially disfigured, or has deformities,
Porque ningún varón, en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará: varón ciego, o cojo, o falto, o sobrado de nariz,
19 anyone who has a broken foot or arm,
O varón en el cual hubiere quebradura de pie, o quebradura de mano:
20 anyone who is a hunchback or dwarf, or who has cataracts, skin sores or scabs, or a damaged testicle.
O corcobado, o lagañoso, o que tuviere nube en el ojo, o que tuviere sarna, o empeine, o compañón quebrado.
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.
Ningún varón de la simiente de Aarón sacerdote, en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará para ofrecer las ofrendas encendidas de Jehová. ¿ Hay falta en él? no se allegará a ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
22 He is still allowed to eat the food from the Most Holy Place of his God and also from the sanctuary,
El pan de su Dios de las santidades de santidades, y las cosas santificadas comerá.
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.”
Empero no entrará del velo adentro, ni se allegará al altar, por cuanto hay falta en él: y no ensuciará mi santuario, porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.
24 Moses repeated this to Aaron and his sons, and to all the Israelites.
Y Moisés habló a Aarón, y a sus hijos, y a todos los hijos de Israel.
