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,
Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: Loquere ad sacerdotes filios Aaron, et dices ad eos: Ne contaminetur sacerdos in mortibus civium suorum,
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,
nisi tantum in consanguineis, ac propinquis, id est, super patre et matre, et filio, et filia, fratre quoque,
3 Or by his sister a maid, that is neere vnto him, which hath not had a husband: for her he may lament.
et sorore virgine quae non est nupta viro:
4 He shall not lament for the Prince among his people, to pollute him selfe.
sed nec in principe populi sui contaminabitur.
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.
Non radent sacerdotes caput, nec barbam, neque in carnibus suis facient incisuras.
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.
Sancti erunt Deo suo, et non polluent nomen eius: incensum enim Domini, et panes Dei sui offerunt, et ideo sancti erunt.
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.
Scortum et vile prostibulum non ducent uxorem, nec eam, quae repudiata est a marito: quia consecrati sunt Deo suo,
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.
et panes propositionis offerunt. Sint ergo sancti, quia et ego sanctus sum, Dominus, qui sanctifico eos.
9 If a Priestes daughter fall to play the whore, she polluteth her father: therefore shall she be burnt with fire.
Sacerdotis filia si deprehensa fuerit in stupro, et violaverit nomen patris sui, flammis exuretur.
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,
Pontifex, id est, sacerdos maximus inter fratres suos, super cuius caput fusum est unctionis oleum, et cuius manus in sacerdotio consecratae sunt, vestitusque est sanctis vestibus, caput suum non discooperiet, vestimenta non scindet:
11 Neither shall he goe to any dead bodie, nor make him selfe vncleane by his father or by his mother,
et ad omnem mortuum non ingredietur omnino. super patre quoque suo, et matre non contaminabitur.
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.
Nec egredietur de sanctis, ne polluat Sanctuarium Domini, quia oleum sanctae unctionis Dei sui super eum est. ego Dominus.
13 Also he shall take a maide vnto his wife:
Virginem ducet uxorem:
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:
Viduam autem et repudiatam, et sordidam, atque meretricem non accipiet, sed puellam de populo suo:
15 Neyther shall he defile his seede among his people: for I am the Lord which sanctifie him.
ne commisceat stirpem generis sui vulgo gentis suae: quia ego Dominus qui sanctifico eum.
16 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
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:
Loquere ad Aaron: Homo de semine tuo per familias qui habuerit maculam, non offeret panes Deo suo,
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,
nec accedet ad ministerium eius: si caecus fuerit, si claudus, si vel parvo vel grandi, vel torto naso,
19 Or a man that hath a broken foote, or a broken hande,
si fracto pede, si manu,
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.
si gibbus, si lippus, si albuginem habens in oculo, si iugem scabiem, si impetiginem in corpore, vel herniosus.
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.
Omnis qui habuerit maculam de semine Aaron sacerdotis, non accedet offerre hostias Domino, nec panes Deo suo:
22 The bread of his God, euen of the most holie, and of the holy shall he eate:
vescetur tamen panibus, qui offeruntur in Sanctuario,
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.
ita dumtaxat, ut intra velum non ingrediatur, nec accedat ad altare, qui maculam habet, et contaminare non debet Sanctuarium meum. Ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos.
24 Thus spake Moses vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, and to all the children of Israel.
Locutus est ergo Moyses ad Aaron, et ad filios eius, et ad omnem Israel cuncta quae fuerant sibi imperata.
