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,
Og HERREN sagde til Moses: Tal til Præsterne, Arons Sønner, og sig til dem: Præsten må ikke gøre sig uren ved Lig blandt sin Slægt,
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,
medmindre det er hans nærmeste kødelige Slægtninge, hans Moder eller Fader, hans Søn eller Datter, hans Broder
3 and for his sister, the virgin, who is near to him, who has not been to a man; he is defiled for her.
eller Søster, for så vidt hun var Jomfru og endnu hørte til hans Familie og ikke var gift; i så Fald må han gøre sig uren ved hende;
4 A master [priest] does not defile himself among his people—to defile himself;
men han må ikke gøre sig uren ved hende, når hun var gift med en Mand af hans Slægt, og således pådrage sig Vanhelligelse.
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;
De må ikke klippe sig en skaldet Plet på deres Hoved, ikke studse deres Skæg eller gøre Indsnit i deres Legeme.
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.
Hellige skal de være for deres Gud og må ikke vanhellige deres Guds Navn, thi de frembærer HERRENs Ildofre, deres Guds Spise; derfor skal de være hellige.
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;
En Horkvinde og en skændet Kvinde må de ikke ægte; heller ikke en Kvinde, der er forstødt af sin Mand, må de ægte; thi han er helliget sin Gud.
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.
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 when a daughter of any priest defiles herself by going whoring—she is defiling her father; she is burned with fire.
Når en Præstedatter vanhelliger sig ved at bedrive Hor, da vanhelliger hun sin Fader; hun skal brændes på Bål,
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,
Den Præst, der er den ypperste blandt sine Brødre, han, over hvis Hoved Salveolien udgydes, og som indsættes ved at iføres Klæderne, må hverken lade sit Hovedhår vokse frit eller sønderrive sine Klæder.
11 nor does he come beside any dead person; he does not defile himself for his father and for his mother;
Han må ikke gå hen til noget som helst Lig, end ikke ved sin Fader eller Moder må han gøre sig uren.
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.
Han må ikke forlade Helligdommen for ikke at vanhellige sin Guds Helligdom, thi hans Guds Salveolies Vielse er på ham; jeg er HERREN!
13 And he takes a wife in her virginity;
Han skal ægte en Kvinde, der er Jomfru;
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,
en Enke, en forstødt, en skændet, en Horkvinde må han ikke ægte, kun en Jomfru af sin Slægt må han tage til Hustru,
15 and he does not defile his seed among his people; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying him.”
for at han ikke skal vanhellige sit Afkom blandt sin Slægt; thi jeg er HERREN, som helliger ham.
16 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
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,
Tal til Aron og sig: Ingen af dit Afkom i de kommende Slægter, som har en Legemsfejl, må træde frem for at frembære sin Guds Spise,
18 for no man in whom [is] a blemish draws near: a man blind, or lame, or disfigured, or deformed,
det må 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 in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,
eller med Brud på Ben eller Arm
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.
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 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.
Af Præsten Arons Efterkommere må ingen, som har en Legemsfejl, nærme sig for at frembære HERRENs Ildofre; han har en Legemsfejl, han må ikke nærme sig for at frembære sin Guds Spise.
22 Bread of his God—from the most holy things and from the holy things—he eats;
Han må vel spise sin Guds Spise, både det, som er højhelligt, og det, som er helligt,
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.”
men til Forhænget må han ikke komme, og Alteret må han ikke nærme sig, thi han har en Legemsfejl og må ikke vanhellige mine hellige Ting; thi jeg er HERREN, som helliger dem.
24 And Moses speaks to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
Og Moses talte således til Aron og hans Sønner og alle Israeliterne.
