Leviticus 21
1 And the LORD said to Moses, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and say to them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Tal til Præsterne, Arons Sønner, og sig til dem: En Præst skal ikke gøre sig uren ved et Lig iblandt sit Folk,
2 But for his kin, that is near to him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.
uden ved hans næste Slægt, som ham næst tilhører, ved hans Moder og ved hans Fader og ved hans Søn og ved hans Datter og ved hans Broder
3 And for his sister a virgin, that is near to him, which has had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
og ved hans Søster, som er en Jomfru, hans næste Paarørende, som ikke har været nogen Mands Hustru; ved hende maa han gøre sig uren.
4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
Han skal ikke besmitte sig, da han er en Herre iblandt sit Folk, saa han vanhelliger sig.
5 They shall not make baldness on their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
De skulle ikke gøre deres Hoved skaldet og ikke afrage det yderste af deres Skæg, og ej skære et Indsnit i deres Kød.
6 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.
De skulle være hellige for deres Gud og ikke vanhellige deres Guds Navn; thi de ofre Herrens Ildoffer, deres Guds Brød, og derfor skulle de være aldeles hellige.
7 They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy to his God.
De skulle ikke tage nogen Horekone eller en, som er krænket, til Ægte; og den Kvinde, som er forskudt af sin Mand, skulle de ikke tage; thi han er hellig for Gud.
8 You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy to you: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, am holy.
Derfor skal du holde ham hellig, thi han ofrer din Guds Brød; han skal være dig hellig, thi jeg Herren er hellig, som gør eder hellige.
9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profanes her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
Og naar nogen Præsts Datter begynder at bedrive Hor, har hun vanhelliget sin Fader, hun skal brændes med Ild.
10 And he that is the high priest among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;
Og den, som er Ypperstepræst iblandt sine Brødre, paa hvis Hoved Salveolien er udøst, og hvis Haand man har fyldt, for at han skal iføre sig Klæderne, han skal ikke blotte sit Hoved og ej sønderrive sine Klæder.
11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
Og han skal ikke komme til noget Lig, han skal ikke gøre sig uren, hverken ved sin Fader eller ved sin Moder.
12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is on him: I am the LORD.
Og han skal ikke gaa ud af Helligdommen, og han skal ikke vanhellige sin Guds Helligdom; thi hans Guds Salveolies Hovedsmykke er paa ham. Jeg er Herren.
13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
Og han skal tage sig en Hustru i hendes Jomfrustand.
14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.
En Enke eller en forskudt eller en krænket, en Hore, dem skal han ikke tage, men en Jomfru af sit Folk skal han tage til Hustru.
15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.
Og han skal ikke vanhellige sin Sæd iblandt sit Folk; thi jeg er Herren, som gør ham hellig.
16 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
17 Speak to Aaron, saying, Whoever he be of your seed in their generations that has any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
Tal til Aron og sig: Naar der er en Mand af din Sæd i deres Slægter, paa hvem der er en Lyde, han skal ikke komme nær til, at ofre sin Guds Brød;
18 For whatever man he be that has a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that has a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
thi ingen Mand, paa hvem der er Lyde, skal komme nær, hvad enten det er en Mand, som er blind eller lam, eller som har noget Lem for kort eller for langt,
19 Or a man that is broken footed, or broken handed,
eller en Mand, som har Bræk paa Fod eller Bræk paa Haand,
20 Or hunch back, or a dwarf, or that has a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or has his stones broken;
eller som er krogrygget eller er en Dværg eller har Men paa sit Øje, eller som har Skurv eller Fnat, eller som har Brok.
21 No man that has a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come near to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
Og ingen Mand af Præsten Arons Sæd, paa hvem der er Lyde, skal gaa frem at ofre Herrens Ildofre; der er Lyde paa ham, han skal ikke gaa frem til at ofre sin Guds Brød.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
Dog maa han æde sin Guds Brød, baade af de højhellige Ting og af de andre hellige Ting.
23 Only he shall not go in to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
Kun skal han ikke komme til Forhænget og ej gaa frem til Alteret; thi der er Lyde paa ham, og han skal ikke vanhellige mine Helligdomme; thi jeg er Herren, som gør dem hellige.
24 And Moses told it to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
Og Mose sagde dette til Aron og til hans Sønner og til alle Israels Børn.
