Leviticus 21
1 And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, None [of them] shall defile himself on the dead, among his people;
Og HERREN sagde til Moses: Tal til Præsterne, Arons Sønner, og sig til dem: Præsten maa ikke gøre sig uren ved Lig blandt sin Slægt,
2 But on his kin, that is near unto him, [that is, ] on his mother, and on his father, and on his son, and on his daughter, and on his brother,
medmindre det er hans nærmeste kødelige Slægtninge, hans Moder eller Fader, hans Søn eller Datter, hans Broder
3 And on his sister that is a virgin, that is nigh unto him, who hath had no husband: on her may he defile himself.
eller Søster, for saa vidt hun var Jomfru og endnu hørte til hans Familie og ikke var gift; i saa Fald maa han gøre sig uren ved hende;
4 The chief man among his people shall not defile himself, to be profaned thereby.
men han maa ikke gøre sig uren ved hende, naar hun var gift med en Mand af hans Slægt, og saaledes paadrage sig Vanhelligelse.
5 They shall not make any baldness upon their head, and the corner of their beard shall they not shave off, and in their flesh shall they not make any incision.
De maa ikke klippe sig en skaldet Plet paa deres Hoved, ikke studse deres Skæg eller gøre Indsnit i deres Legeme.
6 Holy shall they be unto their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for the fire-offerings of the Lord, the bread of their God, do they offer, they shall therefore be holy.
Hellige skal de være for deres Gud og maa ikke vanhellige deres Guds Navn, thi de frembærer HERRENS Ildofre, deres Guds Spise; derfor skal de være hellige.
7 A woman that is a harlot, or one profaned, shall they not take; and a woman put away from her husband shall they not take; for holy is he unto his God.
En Horkvinde og en skændet Kvinde maa de ikke ægte; heller ikke en Kvinde, der er forstødt af sin Mand, maa de ægte; thi han er helliget sin Gud.
8 And thou shalt sanctify him; for the bread of thy God doth he offer: holy shall he be unto thee; for I the Lord, who sanctify you, am holy.
Du skal regne ham for hellig, thi han frembærer din Guds Spise; han skal være dig hellig, thi hellig er jeg HERREN, som helliger dem.
9 And if the daughter of any priest profane herself by committing incest, her father doth she profane: with fire shall she be burnt.
Naar en Præstedatter vanhelliger sig ved at bedrive Hor, da vanhelliger hun sin Fader; hun skal brændes paa Baal.
10 And the priest that is highest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil hath been poured, and who hath been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head grow long, and his garments shall he not rend;
Den Præst, der er den ypperste blandt sine Brødre, han, over hvis Hoved Salveolien udgydes, og som indsættes ved at iføres Klæderne, maa hverken lade sit Hovedhaar vokse frit eller sønderrive sine Klæder.
11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body; even on his father, and on his mother shall he not defile himself.
Han maa ikke gaa hen til noget som helst Lig, end ikke ved sin Fader eller Moder maa han gøre sig uren.
12 And out of the sanctuary shall he not go, that he may not profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.
Han maa ikke forlade Helligdommen for ikke at vanhellige sin Guds Helligdom, thi hans Guds Salveolies Vielse er paa ham; jeg er HERREN!
13 And he shall take a wife in her virgin state.
Han skal ægte en Kvinde, der er Jomfru;
14 A widow, and a divorced woman, and one profaned, [and] a harlot, these shall he not take; but a virgin of his own people shall he take for wife;
en Enke, en forstødt, en skændet, en Horkvinde maa han ikke ægte, kun en Jomfru af sin Slægt maa han tage til Hustru,
15 So that he may not profane his seed among his people; for I, the Lord, do sanctify him.
for at han ikke skal vanhellige sit Afkom blandt sin Slægt; thi jeg er HERREN, som helliger ham.
16 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever of thy seed in their generations it be on whom there is any blemish, shall not approach to offer the bread of his God.
Tal til Aron og sig: Ingen af dit Afkom i de kommende Slægter, som har en Legemsfejl, maa træde frem for at frembære sin Guds Spise,
18 For whatsoever man it be on whom there is a blemish, shall not approach: a blind, or a lame man, or one that hath a flattened nose, or a man one of whose limbs is too long,
det maa ingen, som har en Legemsfejl, hverken en blind eller en halt eller en med vansiret Ansigt eller for lang en Legemsdel
19 Or a man who hath a broken foot, or a broken hand,
eller med Brud paa Ben eller Arm
20 Or a crookbacked, or a dwarf, or one that hath a blemish in his eye, or the itch, or the scurvy, or the testicles broken.
eller en pukkelrygget eller en med Tæring eller en, der har Pletter i Øjnene eller lider af Skab eller Ringorm eller har svulne Testikler.
21 Every man on whom there is a blemish, of the seed of Aaron the priest, shall not come nigh to offer the fire-offerings of the Lord: there is a blemish on him; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
Af Præsten Arons Efterkommere maa ingen, som har en Legemsfejl, nærme sig for at frembære HERRENS Ildofre; han har en Legemsfejl, han maa ikke nærme sig for at frembære sin Guds Spise.
22 The brewed of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy things he may eat.
Han maa vel spise sin Guds Spise, baade det, som er højhelligt, og det, som er helligt,
23 Only unto the vail, and unto the altar shall he not come nigh, because there is a blemish on him; that he profane not my holy things; for I the Lord do sanctify them.
men til Forhænget maa han ikke komme, og Alteret maa han ikke nærme sig, thi han har en Legemsfejl og maa ikke vanhellige mine hellige Ting; thi jeg er HERREN, som helliger dem.
24 And Moses spoke thus unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Og Moses talte saaledes til Aron og hans Sønner og alle Israeliterne.
