Leviticus 21
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for 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 for his kin, that is near unto him, [that is], for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
nisi tantum in consanguineis, ac propinquis, id est, super patre et matre, et filio, et filia, fratre quoque,
3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
et sorore virgine quæ non est nupta viro:
4 [But] he shall not defile himself, [being] a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
sed nec in principe populi sui contaminabitur.
5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
Non radent caput, nec barbam, neque in carnibus suis facient incisuras.
6 They shall be holy unto 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.
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 a wife [that is] a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he [is] holy unto his God.
Scortum et vile prostibulum non ducent uxorem, nec eam, quæ repudiata est a marito: quia consecrati sunt Deo suo,
8 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, [am] holy.
et panes propositionis offerunt. Sint ergo sancti, quia et ego sanctus sum, Dominus, qui sanctifico eos.
9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
Sacerdotis filia si deprehensa fuerit in stupro, et violaverit nomen patris sui, flammis exuretur.
10 And [he that is] the high priest among his brethren, upon 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;
Pontifex, id est, sacerdos maximus inter fratres suos, super cuius caput fusum est unctionis oleum, et cuius manus in sacerdotio consecratæ sunt, vestitusque est sanctis vestibus, caput suum non discooperiet, vestimenta non scindet:
11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
et ad omnem mortuum non ingredietur omnino. super patre quoque suo, et matre non contaminabitur.
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] upon him: I [am] the LORD.
Nec egredietur de sanctis, ne polluat Sanctuarium Domini, quia oleum sanctæ unctionis Dei sui super eum est. ego Dominus.
13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
Virginem ducet uxorem:
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.
Viduam autem et repudiatam, et sordidam, atque meretricem non accipiet, sed puellam de populo suo:
15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.
ne commisceat stirpem generis sui vulgo gentis suæ: quia ego Dominus qui sanctifico eum.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever [he be] of thy seed in their generations that hath [any] blemish, let him not approach 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 whatsoever man [he be] that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
nec accedet ad ministerium eius: si cæcus fuerit, si claudus, si parvo vel grandi, vel torto naso,
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
si fracto pede, si manu,
20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
si gibbus, si lippus, si albuginem habens in oculo, si iugem scabiem, si impetiginem in corpore, vel herniosus.
21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh 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 He shall eat the bread of his God, [both] of the most holy, and of the holy.
vescetur tamen panibus, qui offeruntur in Sanctuario,
23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify 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 And Moses told [it] unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Locutus est ergo Moyses ad Aaron, et ad filios eius, et ad omnem Israel cuncta quæ fuerant sibi imperata.
