Leviticus 22
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Yavé habló a Moisés:
2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and let them take heed concerning the holy things of the children of Israel, so they shall not profane my holy name in any of the things which they consecrate to me: I [am] the Lord.
Dí a Aarón y a sus hijos que se mantengan alejados de las cosas sagradas que los hijos de Israel me dedican, para que no profanen mi santo Nombre. Yo, Yavé.
3 Say to them, Every man throughout your generations, whoever of all your seed shall approach to the holy things, whatever the children of Israel shall consecrate to the Lord, while his uncleanness is upon him, that soul shall be cut off from me: I [am] the Lord your God.
Diles: Durante sus generaciones, cualquier descendiente suyo que, cuando está impuro, se acerque a las cosas santas que los hijos de Israel consagran a Yavé, será cortado de mi presencia. Yo, Yavé.
4 And the man of the seed of Aaron the priest, if he should have leprosy or issue of the reins, shall not eat of the holy things, until he be cleansed; and he that touches any uncleanness of a dead body, or the man whose seed of copulation shall have gone out from him,
Cualquier varón de la descendencia de Aarón que sea leproso o padezca gonorrea, no comerá de las cosas santas hasta cuando esté purificado. También el que toque cualquier cosa impura, o el varón que padezca espermatorrea,
5 or whoever shall touch any unclean reptile, which will defile him, or [who shall touch] a man, whereby he shall defile him according to all his uncleanness:
o el que toque cualquier reptil que lo contamine, o a alguno por el cual quede impuro debido a cualquier impureza en él.
6 whatever soul shall touch them shall be unclean until evening; he shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water,
La persona que lo toque será impura hasta llegar la noche, y no comerá de las cosas santas hasta que haya lavado su cuerpo con agua.
7 and the sun go down, and then he shall be clean; and then shall he eat of all the holy things, for they are his bread.
Al ponerse el sol quedará limpio, y después podrá comer las cosas santas, porque es su alimento.
8 He shall not eat that which dies of itself, or is taken of beasts, so that he should be polluted by them: I [am] the Lord.
Nada mortecino ni despedazado por fiera comerá, porque será contaminado por ello. Yo, Yavé.
9 And they shall keep my ordinances, that they do not bear iniquity because of them, and die because of them, if they shall profane them: I [am] the Lord God that sanctifies them.
Guardarán, pues, mi ordenanza, no sea que por ese motivo cometan pecado y mueran por haberla profanado. ¡Yo, Yavé, soy el que los santifico!
10 And no stranger shall eat the holy things: one that sojourns with a priest, or a hireling, shall not eat the holy things.
Ningún extraño comerá de lo sagrado. Ni el huésped del sacerdote ni el jornalero podrán comer de lo sagrado.
11 But if a priest should have a soul purchased for money, he shall eat of his bread; and they that are born in his house, they also shall eat of his bread.
Pero si el sacerdote compra una persona con su dinero, ésta podrá comer de ello, y el nacido en su casa podrá comer de su pan.
12 And if the daughter of a priest should marry a stranger, she shall not eat of the offerings of the sanctuary.
Si la hija del sacerdote se casa con un varón extraño, no podrá comer de la ofrenda alzada de las cosas santas.
13 And if the daughter of priest should be a widow, or put away, and have no seed, she shall return to her father's house, as in her youth: she shall eat of her father's bread, but no stranger shall eat of it.
Pero si la hija del sacerdote queda viuda o repudiada, y no tiene descendencia, y vuelve a la casa de su padre como en su juventud, podrá comer del pan de su padre. Sin embargo ningún extraño comerá de él.
14 And the man who shall ignorantly eat holy things, shall add the fifth part to it, and give the holy thing to the priest.
El que por equivocación coma una cosa sagrada, restituirá la cosa sagrada al sacerdote y añadirá a ella la quinta parte.
15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord.
No profanarán, pues, las cosas sagradas que los hijos de Israel ofrecen a Yavé.
16 So should they bring upon themselves the iniquity of trespass in their eating their holy things: for I [am] the Lord that sanctifies them.
Hagan que la culpabilidad recaiga sobre el extraño que coma de sus cosas consagradas, porque Yo soy Yavé, Quien los santifica.
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Yavé habló a Moisés:
18 Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the congregation of Israel, and you shall say to them, Any man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that abide among them in Israel, who shall offer his gifts according to all their confession and according to all their choice, whatever they may bring to the Lord for whole burnt offerings—
Habla a Aarón, a sus hijos y a todos los hijos de Israel: Si alguno de la casa de Israel o de los extranjeros en Israel que presente su ofrenda, ya sea ofrenda votiva u ofrenda voluntaria, la cual presenta a Yavé como holocausto,
19 your free will offerings [shall] be males without blemish of the herds, or of the sheep, or of the goats.
para que sea aceptada tendrá que ser un macho sin defecto de la manada de vacunos, de las ovejas o de las cabras.
20 They shall not bring to the Lord anything that has a blemish in it, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
No ofrecerán algún animal con defecto, pues no les será aceptado.
21 And whatever man shall offer a peace-offering to the Lord, discharging a vow, or in the way of free will offering, or an offering in your feasts, of the herds or of the sheep, it shall be without blemish for acceptance: there shall be no blemish in it.
Cuando alguno ofrezca un sacrificio de paz a Yavé, ya sea para cumplir un voto o como ofrenda voluntaria, tendrá que ser sin defecto para que sea aceptado, sea del ganado vacuno o del rebaño. No habrá defecto en él.
22 One that is blind, or broken, or has its tongue cut out, or is troubled with warts, or has a malignant ulcer, or tetters, they shall not offer these to the Lord; neither shall you offer any of them for a burnt offering on the altar of the Lord.
[El animal] ciego, perniquebrado, mutilado, verrugoso, sarnoso o que tenga erupciones, no lo ofrecerás a Yavé como holocausto en el altar de Yavé.
23 And a calf or a sheep with the ears cut off, or that has lost its tail, you shall kill them for yourself; but they shall not be accepted for your vow.
Podrás ofrecer un becerro o un carnero deforme como ofrenda voluntaria, pero no será aceptado como ofrenda votiva.
24 That which has broken testicles, or is crushed or gelt or mutilated, —you shall not offer them to the Lord, neither shall you sacrifice them upon your land.
No ofrecerán a Yavé animal que tenga los testículos aplastados, magullados, rasgados o cortados. No harán esto en su tierra.
25 Neither shall you offer the gifts of your God of all these things by the hand of a stranger, because there is corruption in them, a blemish in them: these shall not be accepted for you.
Ni aun de extranjeros tomarás esos animales para ofrecerlos como alimento a tu ʼElohim, porque la deformidad está en ellos. Hay en ellos defecto. No les serán aceptados.
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Yavé habló a Moisés:
27 As for a calf, or a sheep, or a goat, whenever it is born, then shall it be seven days under its mother; and on the eighth day and after they shall be accepted for sacrifices, a burnt offering to the Lord.
Cuando nazca un becerro, un cordero o un cabrito, estará con su madre siete días, pero desde el octavo día será aceptado como un holocausto a Yavé.
28 And a bullock and a ewe, it and its young, you shall not kill in one day.
Pero no degollarán una vaca o una oveja junto con su cría el mismo día.
29 And if you should offer a sacrifice, a vow of rejoicing to the Lord, you shall offer it so as to be accepted for you.
Cuando ofrezcan sacrificio de acción de gracias a Yavé, lo sacrificarán de tal manera que sea aceptado.
30 In that same day it shall be eaten; you shall not leave of the flesh till the morrow: I am the Lord.
Se comerá el mismo día. Nada de él dejarán hasta la mañana. Yo, Yavé.
31 And you shall keep my commandments and do them.
Observarán mis Mandamientos y los practicarán. Yo, Yavé.
32 And you shall not profane the name of the Holy One, and I will be sanctified in the midst of the children of Israel. I [am] the Lord that sanctifies you,
No profanarán mi santo Nombre, pues Yo seré santificado en medio de los hijos de Israel. Yo soy Yavé, Quien los santifica,
33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the Lord.
el que los sacó de la tierra de Egipto para ser su ʼElohim. ¡Yo, Yavé!
