Leviticus 21
1 And the Lord said vnto Moses, Speake vnto the Priestes the sonnes of Aaron, and say vnto them, Let none be defiled by the dead among his people,
上主對梅瑟說：」你當訓示亞郎的兒子司祭說：司祭不應為族人的屍體陷於不潔，
2 But by his kinseman that is neere vnto him: to wit, by his mother, or by his father, or by his sonne, or by his daughter, or by his brother,
除非為骨肉至親，如母親，父親，兒女，兄弟；
3 Or by his sister a maid, that is neere vnto him, which hath not had a husband: for her he may lament.
未出嫁而仍為處女的姊妹，為她的屍體，司祭可陷於不潔；
4 He shall not lament for the Prince among his people, to pollute him selfe.
但司祭不可因身為丈夫，而為姻親的屍身，陷於不潔，褻瀆己身。
5 They shall not make balde partes vpon their head, nor shaue off the locks of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
司祭的頭髮不可剃光，鬍鬚的邊緣，不可修剪，也不可紋身割傷。
6 They shalbe holy vnto their God, and not pollute the name of their God: for the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire, and the bread of their God they doe offer: therefore they shalbe holie.
他們對天主應是聖的，不可褻瀆天主的名號，因為是他們奉獻上主的火祭，作為天主的供物，所以應是聖的。
7 They shall not take to wife an whore, or one polluted, neither shall they marrie a woman diuorced from her husband: for such one is holy vnto his God.
司祭不可娶妓女和受玷汙的女人為妻，也不可娶為丈夫離棄的女人，因為他是祝聖於天主的人。
8 Thou shalt sanctifie him therefore, for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy vnto thee: for I the Lord, which sanctifie you, am holy.
逤所以你應以他為聖，因為他把供物奉獻給你的天主，他對於你應是聖的，因為使你們成聖的我上主，是聖的。
9 If a Priestes daughter fall to play the whore, she polluteth her father: therefore shall she be burnt with fire.
若司祭的女兒賣淫褻瀆自己，她是褻瀆自己的父親，應用火燒死。[大司祭的聖潔]
10 Also ye hie Priest among his brethren, (vpon whose head the anointing oyle was powred, and hath consecrated his hand to put on the garments) shall not vncouer his head, nor rent his clothes,
兄弟中身分最高的司祭，頭上既倒過聖油，又被祝聖穿了祭衣，不可披頭散髮，不可撕裂自己的衣服。
11 Neither shall he goe to any dead bodie, nor make him selfe vncleane by his father or by his mother,
不可走近死人的屍體，也不可為父親或母親的屍體陷於不潔。
12 Neither shall he goe out of the Sanctuarie, nor pollute the holy place of his God: for the crowne of the anoynting oyle of his God is vpon him: I am the Lord.
也不可走出聖所，免得褻瀆天主的聖所，因為在他頭上有天主傅油的神印：我是上主。
13 Also he shall take a maide vnto his wife:
他應娶處女為妻，
14 But a widowe, or a diuorced woman, or a polluted, or an harlot, these shall he not marrie, but shall take a maide of his owne people to wife:
寡婦，棄婦或受玷污的妓女，這樣的女人，決不可娶；只可娶本族中的處女為妻，
15 Neyther shall he defile his seede among his people: for I am the Lord which sanctifie him.
以免褻瀆本族的後裔，因為那使他成聖的是我，上主。[作司祭的阻礙]
16 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟：」
17 Speake vnto Aaron, and say, Whosoeuer of thy seede in their generations hath any blemishes, shall not prease to offer the bread of his God:
你告訴亞郎說：世世代代你的後裔中，凡身上有缺陷的，不得前去向天主奉獻供物；
18 For whosoeuer hath any blemish, shall not come neere: as a man blinde or lame, or that hath a flat nose, or that hath any misshapen member,
凡身上有缺陷的，不准前去：不論是眼瞎，腳跛，殘廢，畸形的，
19 Or a man that hath a broken foote, or a broken hande,
或是斷手斷腳的，
20 Or is crooke backt, or bleare eyed, or hath a blemish in his eye, or be skiruie, or skabbed, or haue his stones broken.
或是駝背，矮小，眼生白翳，身上有痲疹或癬疥，或是睪丸破碎的人。
21 None of the seede of Aaron the Priest that hath a blemish, shall come neere to offer the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire, hauing a blemish: he shall not prease to offer the bread of his God.
亞郎司祭的後裔中，凡身上有缺陷的，不得去奉獻上主的火祭；他身上既有缺陷，就不應給天主奉獻供物。
22 The bread of his God, euen of the most holie, and of the holy shall he eate:
天主的供物，不論是至聖的或聖的，他都可以吃；
23 But he shall not goe in vnto the vaile, nor come neere the altar, because hee hath a blemish, least he pollute my Sanctuaries: for I am the Lord that sanctifie them.
卻不可進入帳慢後，或走近祭壇前，因為他身上有缺陷，免得他褻瀆我的聖所，因為使他們成聖的是我，上主。「
24 Thus spake Moses vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, and to all the children of Israel.
梅瑟就這樣訓示了亞郎和他的兒子，以及全體以色列子民。
