Leviticus 21
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and you shall tell them [that] they shall not defile themselves in their nation for the dead,
Y el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Habla a los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón, y diles que no se contaminen por un muerto en sus pueblos.
2 but [they may mourn] for a relative who is very near to them, for a father and mother, and sons and daughters, for a brother,
Mas por su pariente cercano a sí, por su madre, o por su padre, o por su hijo, o por su hermano,
3 and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself.
o por su hermana virgen, a él cercana, la cual no haya tenido marido, por ella se contaminará.
4 He shall not defile himself suddenly among his people to profane himself.
No se contaminará, por el príncipe en su pueblo, ensuciándose.
5 And you shall not shave your head for the dead with a baldness on the top; and they shall not shave their beard, neither shall they make gashes on their flesh.
No harán calva en su cabeza, ni raerán la punta de su barba, ni en su carne harán rasguños.
6 They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for they offer the sacrifices of the Lord as the gifts of their God, and they shall be holy.
Santos serán a su Dios, y no ensuciarán el nombre de su Dios; porque los fuegos del SEÑOR, el pan de su Dios ofrecen; por tanto serán santos.
7 They shall not take a woman who is a harlot and profaned, or a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy to the Lord his God.
Mujer ramera o infame no tomarán; ni tomarán mujer repudiada de su marido; porque el sacerdote es santo a su Dios.
8 And you shall hallow him; he offers the gifts of the Lord your God: he shall be holy, for I the Lord that sanctify them [am] holy.
Y lo santificarás, porque el pan de tu Dios ofrece; santo será a ti, porque santo soy yo el SEÑOR vuestro santificador.
9 And if the daughter of a priest should be profaned to go a whoring, she profanes the name of her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
Y la hija del varón sacerdote, si comenzare a fornicar, a su padre contamina; quemada será en fuego.
10 And the priest that is chief among his brethren, the oil having been poured upon the head of the anointed one, and he having been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not take the mitre off his head, and shall not rend his garments:
Y el sumo sacerdote entre sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fue derramado el aceite de la unción, y que fue consagrado para vestir las vestimentas, no descubrirá su cabeza, ni romperá sus vestidos;
11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, neither shall he defile himself for his father or his mother.
ni entrará a alguna persona muerta, ni por su padre, o por su madre se contaminará.
12 And he shall not go forth out of the sanctuary, and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, because the holy anointing oil of God [is] upon him: I [am] the Lord.
Ni saldrá del santuario, ni ensuciará el santuario de su Dios; porque la corona del aceite de la unción de su Dios está sobre él. Yo soy el SEÑOR.
13 He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.
Y tomará él mujer con su virginidad.
14 But a widow, or one that is put away, or profaned, or a harlot, these he shall not take; but he shall take for a wife a virgin of his own people.
Viuda, o repudiada, o infame, o ramera, éstas no tomará; mas tomará virgen de su pueblo por mujer.
15 And he shall not profane his seed among his people: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies him.
Y no ensuciará su simiente en su pueblo; porque yo el SEÑOR soy el que los santifico.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Y el SEÑOR habló a Moisés, diciendo:
17 Say to Aaron, A man of your tribe throughout your generations, who shall have a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer the gifts of his God.
Habla a Aarón, y dile: El varón de tu simiente en sus generaciones, en el cual hubiere falta, no se acercará para ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
18 No man who has a blemish on him shall draw near; a man blind, lame, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut,
Porque ningún varón en el cual hubiere falta, se acercará: varón ciego, o cojo, o falto, o sobrado,
19 a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot,
o varón en el cual hubiere quebradura de pie o quebradura de mano,
20 or humpbacked, or blear-eyed, or that has lost his eye-lashes, or a man who has a malignant ulcer, or tetter, or one that has lost a testicle.
o jorobado, o lagañoso, o que tuviere nube en el ojo, o que tuviere sarna, o empeine, o testículo atrofiado.
21 Whoever of the seed of Aaron the priest has a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer sacrifices to your God, because he has a blemish on him; he shall not draw near to offer the gifts of God.
Ningún varón de la simiente de Aarón sacerdote, en el cual hubiere falta, se acercará para ofrecer las ofrendas encendidas del SEÑOR. Hay falta en él; no se acercará a ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
22 The gifts of God [are] most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things.
El pan de su Dios, de lo santísimo y de las cosas santificadas, comerá.
23 Only he shall not approach the veil, and he shall not draw near to the altar, because he has a blemish; and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, for I am the Lord that sanctifies them.
Pero no entrará del velo adentro, ni se acercará al altar, por cuanto hay falta en él; y no ensuciará mi santuario, porque yo el SEÑOR soy el que los santifico.
24 And Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
Y Moisés habló esto a Aarón, y a sus hijos, y a todos los hijos de Israel.
