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,
Yavé dijo a Moisés: Habla a los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón: No se contaminen a causa del cadáver de uno de sus parientes,
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,
excepto por pariente cercano a él: su madre, su padre, su hijo, su hermano,
3 Or by his sister a maid, that is neere vnto him, which hath not had a husband: for her he may lament.
o su hermana virgen, cercana a él, que no tuvo esposo, por la cual podrá contaminarse.
4 He shall not lament for the Prince among his people, to pollute him selfe.
No se contaminará, porque es un dirigente en medio de su pueblo, y no se profanará.
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.
No hará tonsura en su cabeza, ni cortará la punta de su barba, ni se sajará.
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.
Santos serán para su ʼElohim. No profanarán el Nombre de su ʼElohim, porque ellos son los que presentan los holocaustos a Yavé, el pan de su ʼElohim. Por tanto, serán santos.
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.
No tomarán mujer prostituta o deshonrada. No tomarán mujer repudiada por su esposo, porque [el sacerdote] es santo a su ʼElohim.
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.
Por tanto lo consagrarás, pues él presenta el pan de tu ʼElohim. Será santo porque Yo, Yavé, Quien te santifica, soy santo.
9 If a Priestes daughter fall to play the whore, she polluteth her father: therefore shall she be burnt with fire.
Si la hija de un sacerdote profana al prostituírse, profana a su padre. Con fuego será quemada.
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,
El que entre sus hermanos sea sumo sacerdote, sobre cuya cabeza fue derramado el aceite de la unción y fue investido para llevar las ropas, no descubrirá su cabeza ni rasgará sus ropas.
11 Neither shall he goe to any dead bodie, nor make him selfe vncleane by his father or by his mother,
No entrará donde haya algún cadáver. Aunque sea de su padre o de su madre, no se contaminará.
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.
No saldrá del Santuario, ni profanará el Santuario de su ʼElohim, porque la consagración del aceite de la unción de su ʼElohim está sobre él. Yo, Yavé.
13 Also he shall take a maide vnto his wife:
Tomará como esposa a una virgen.
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:
No tomará viuda, ni divorciada, ni deshonrada, ni prostituta, sino tomará como esposa a una virgen de su pueblo
15 Neyther shall he defile his seede among his people: for I am the Lord which sanctifie him.
para que no profane su descendencia entre su pueblo, porque Yo, Yavé, soy Quien lo santifica.
16 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Además Yavé habló a Moisés:
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:
Habla a Aarón: Ninguno de tus descendientes en sus sucesivas generaciones que tenga en él algún defecto se acercará para ofrecer el pan de su ʼElohim.
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,
Porque ningún varón que tenga en él algún defecto se acercará: ya sea ciego, cojo, mutilado, deformado,
19 Or a man that hath a broken foote, or a broken hande,
o que tenga fractura de pie o de mano,
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.
o jorobado, enano, que tenga ojo defectuoso, tenga sarna o tiña, o testículos magullados.
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.
Ningún varón de la descendencia del sacerdote Aarón que tenga defecto en él, se acercará para ofrecer los holocaustos a Yavé. [Si] hay defecto en él, no se acercará para ofrecer el pan de su ʼElohim.
22 The bread of his God, euen of the most holie, and of the holy shall he eate:
Podrá comer el pan de su ʼElohim procedente de las cosas santísimas y de las santas,
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.
pero no pasará detrás del velo ni se acercará al altar, pues tiene defecto en él. No profanará mis cosas sagradas porque Yo soy Yavé, Quien los santifico.
24 Thus spake Moses vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, and to all the children of Israel.
Así Moisés habló a Aarón, a sus hijos, y a todos los hijos de Israel.
