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:
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 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,
excepto por pariente cercano a él: su madre, su padre, su hijo, su hermano,
3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
o su hermana virgen, cercana a él, que no tuvo esposo, por la cual podrá contaminarse.
4 [But] he shall not defile himself, [being] a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
No se contaminará, porque es un dirigente en medio de su pueblo, y no se profanará.
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.
No hará tonsura en su cabeza, ni cortará la punta de su barba, ni se sajará.
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.
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 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.
No tomarán mujer prostituta o deshonrada. No tomarán mujer repudiada por su esposo, porque [el sacerdote] es santo a su ʼElohim.
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.
Por tanto lo consagrarás, pues él presenta el pan de tu ʼElohim. Será santo porque Yo, Yavé, Quien te santifica, soy santo.
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.
Si la hija de un sacerdote profana al prostituírse, profana a su padre. Con fuego será quemada.
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;
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 go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
No entrará donde haya algún cadáver. Aunque sea de su padre o de su madre, no se contaminará.
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.
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 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
Tomará como esposa a una virgen.
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.
No tomará viuda, ni divorciada, ni deshonrada, ni prostituta, sino tomará como esposa a una virgen de su pueblo
15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.
para que no profane su descendencia entre su pueblo, porque Yo, Yavé, soy Quien lo santifica.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Además Yavé habló a Moisés:
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.
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 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,
Porque ningún varón que tenga en él algún defecto se acercará: ya sea ciego, cojo, mutilado, deformado,
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
o que tenga fractura de pie o de mano,
20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
o jorobado, enano, que tenga ojo defectuoso, tenga sarna o tiña, o testículos magullados.
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.
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 He shall eat the bread of his God, [both] of the most holy, and of the holy.
Podrá comer el pan de su ʼElohim procedente de las cosas santísimas y de las santas,
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.
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 And Moses told [it] unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Así Moisés habló a Aarón, a sus hijos, y a todos los hijos de Israel.
