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 Mosen loquere ad sacerdotes filios Aaron et dices eis 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 matre et patre et filio ac 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 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 ducet uxorem nec eam quae repudiata est a marito quia consecratus est 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 offert sit ergo sanctus quia et ego sanctus sum Dominus qui sanctifico vos
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 discoperiet 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 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 Mosen 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 et 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 inpetiginem in corpore vel hirniosus
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 quia 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 Moses ad Aaron et filios eius et ad omnem Israhel cuncta quae sibi fuerant imperata
