Leviticus 21
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Speak to the priests, sons of Aaron, and you have said to them: No one defiles himself for a [dead] person among his people,
上主對梅瑟說：」你當訓示亞郎的兒子司祭說：司祭不應為族人的屍體陷於不潔，
2 except for his relation who [is] near to him: for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
除非為骨肉至親，如母親，父親，兒女，兄弟；
3 and for his sister, the virgin, who is near to him, who has not been to a man; he is defiled for her.
未出嫁而仍為處女的姊妹，為她的屍體，司祭可陷於不潔；
4 A master [priest] does not defile himself among his people—to defile himself;
但司祭不可因身為丈夫，而為姻親的屍身，陷於不潔，褻瀆己身。
5 they do not make baldness on their head, and they do not shave the corner of their beard, and they do not make a cutting in their flesh;
司祭的頭髮不可剃光，鬍鬚的邊緣，不可修剪，也不可紋身割傷。
6 they are holy to their God, and they do not defile the Name of their God, for the fire-offerings of YHWH, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been holy.
他們對天主應是聖的，不可褻瀆天主的名號，因為是他們奉獻上主的火祭，作為天主的供物，所以應是聖的。
7 They do not take a woman of harlotry, or defiled, and they do not take a woman cast out from her husband, for he [is] holy to his God;
司祭不可娶妓女和受玷汙的女人為妻，也不可娶為丈夫離棄的女人，因為他是祝聖於天主的人。
8 and you have sanctified him, for he is bringing the bread of your God near. He is holy to you, for I, YHWH, sanctifying you, [am] holy.
逤所以你應以他為聖，因為他把供物奉獻給你的天主，他對於你應是聖的，因為使你們成聖的我上主，是聖的。
9 And when a daughter of any priest defiles herself by going whoring—she is defiling her father; she is burned with fire.
若司祭的女兒賣淫褻瀆自己，她是褻瀆自己的父親，應用火燒死。[大司祭的聖潔]
10 And the high priest of his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who has consecrated his hand to put on the garments, does not uncover his head, nor tear his garments,
兄弟中身分最高的司祭，頭上既倒過聖油，又被祝聖穿了祭衣，不可披頭散髮，不可撕裂自己的衣服。
11 nor does he come beside any dead person; he does not defile himself for his father and for his mother;
不可走近死人的屍體，也不可為父親或母親的屍體陷於不潔。
12 nor does he go out from the sanctuary, nor does he defile the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing oil of his God [is] on him; I [am] YHWH.
也不可走出聖所，免得褻瀆天主的聖所，因為在他頭上有天主傅油的神印：我是上主。
13 And he takes a wife in her virginity;
他應娶處女為妻，
14 a widow, or cast out, or defiled, [or] a harlot—these he does not take, but he takes a virgin of his own people [for] a wife,
寡婦，棄婦或受玷污的妓女，這樣的女人，決不可娶；只可娶本族中的處女為妻，
15 and he does not defile his seed among his people; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying him.”
以免褻瀆本族的後裔，因為那使他成聖的是我，上主。[作司祭的阻礙]
16 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟：」
17 “Speak to Aaron, saying, No man of your seed throughout their generations in whom there is blemish draws near to bring the bread of his God near,
你告訴亞郎說：世世代代你的後裔中，凡身上有缺陷的，不得前去向天主奉獻供物；
18 for no man in whom [is] a blemish draws near: a man blind, or lame, or disfigured, or deformed,
凡身上有缺陷的，不准前去：不論是眼瞎，腳跛，殘廢，畸形的，
19 or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,
或是斷手斷腳的，
20 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or [with] a defect in his eye, or [with] an itch, or [with] a scab, or [with] a broken testicle.
或是駝背，矮小，眼生白翳，身上有痲疹或癬疥，或是睪丸破碎的人。
21 No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) comes near to bring the fire-offerings of YHWH near; blemish [is] in him; he does not come near to bring the bread of his God near.
亞郎司祭的後裔中，凡身上有缺陷的，不得去奉獻上主的火祭；他身上既有缺陷，就不應給天主奉獻供物。
22 Bread of his God—from the most holy things and from the holy things—he eats;
天主的供物，不論是至聖的或聖的，他都可以吃；
23 only, he does not come toward the veil, and he does not draw near to the altar; for blemish [is] in him; and he does not defile My sanctuaries; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying them.”
卻不可進入帳慢後，或走近祭壇前，因為他身上有缺陷，免得他褻瀆我的聖所，因為使他們成聖的是我，上主。「
24 And Moses speaks to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
梅瑟就這樣訓示了亞郎和他的兒子，以及全體以色列子民。
