< 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,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Akkana jedhiitii ilmaan Aroon luboota sanatti dubbadhu: ‘Lubni tokko nama fira isaa keessaa duʼeef jedhee of hin xureessin;
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,
garuu firoota dhiigaatiif jechuunis haadha isaa, abbaa isaa, ilma isaa, intala isaa, obboleessa isaa,
3 and for his sister, the virgin, who is near to him, who has not been to a man; he is defiled for her.
yookaan obboleettii isaa kan sababii hin heeruminiif isa wajjin jiraattuuf jedhee of xureessuu dandaʼa.
4 A master [priest] does not defile himself among his people—to defile himself;
Garuu namoota karaa fuudhaa fi heerumaatiin firoota isaa taʼaniif jedhee of hin xureessin; akkasiinis xuraaʼaa hin taʼin.
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;
“‘Luboonni mataa isaanii yookaan qarqara areeda isaanii hin haadatin yookaan dhagna isaanii hin madeessin.
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.
Isaan Waaqa isaaniitiif qulqulloota haa taʼan; maqaa Waaqa isaaniis hin xureessin. Isaan waan aarsaa ibiddaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu, nyaata Waaqa isaanii sana dhiʼeessaniif qulqulloota taʼuu qabu.
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;
“‘Luboonni sababii Waaqa isaaniitiif qulqulloota taʼaniif isaan dubartoota sagaagalummaadhaan xuraaʼan yookaan kanneen dhirsoota isaanii hiikan fuudhuu hin qaban.
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.
Ati isa qulqulleessi; inni nyaata Waaqa keetii dhiʼeessaatii. Inni siif haa qulqullaaʼu; ani Waaqayyo inni isin qulqulleessu qulqulluudhaatii.
9 And when a daughter of any priest defiles herself by going whoring—she is defiling her father; she is burned with fire.
“‘Intalli luba tokkoo yoo sagaagalummaadhaan of xureessite isheen abbaa ishee salphifti; isheen ibiddaan haa gubamtu.
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,
“‘Lubni obboloota isaa keessaa luba ol aanaa taʼee zayitiin ittiin diban mataa isaa irratti naqame kan akka uffata lubummaa uffatuuf muudame tokko mataa isaa filachuu hin dhiisin yookaan uffata ofii hin tarsaasin.
11 nor does he come beside any dead person; he does not defile himself for his father and for his mother;
Inni iddoo reeffi jiru hin seenin. Abbaa isaatiif yookaan haadha isaatiif iyyuu jedhee of hin xureessin;
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.
yookaan sababii zayitiin ittiin diban kan Waaqa isaa isa irra jiruuf inni iddoo qulqulluu sana keessaa hin baʼin yookaan iddoo qulqulluu Waaqa isaa hin xureessin. Ani Waaqayyo.
13 And he takes a wife in her virginity;
“‘Dubartiin inni fuudhu durba taʼuu qabdi.
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,
Inni haadha hiyyeessaa, niitii dhirsi hiike yookaan niitii sagaagalummaadhaan xuroofte hin fuudhin; garuu gosa isaa keessaa durba haa fuudhu;
15 and he does not defile his seed among his people; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying him.”
kunis akka inni gosa isaa keessatti sanyii isaa hin xureessineef. Ani Waaqayyo isa qulqulleessuu dha.’”
16 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
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,
“Arooniin akkana jedhi: ‘Dhaloota itti aanu keessatti sanyii kee keessaa namni hirʼina qabu kam iyyuu nyaata Waaqa isaa dhiʼeessuuf hin dhiʼaatin.
18 for no man in whom [is] a blemish draws near: a man blind, or lame, or disfigured, or deformed,
Namni hirʼina kam iyyuu qabu tokko iyyuu jechuunis namni jaamaan yookaan naafni, namni bifaa fi dhagna hin tolle,
19 or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,
namni miilla yookaan harka cabaa qabu,
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.
yookaan namni dugda goophoo yookaan ooluun yookaan namni dhibee ijaa qabu yookaan namni madaa malaʼu qabu, yookaan namni cittoo qabuu fi namni kolaafame hin dhiʼaatin.
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.
Sanyii Aroon lubichaa keessaa namni hirʼina qabu kam iyyuu aarsaa ibiddaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu dhiʼeessuuf hin dhiʼaatin. Inni waan hirʼina qabuuf nyaata Waaqa isaa dhiʼeessuuf hin dhiʼaatin.
22 Bread of his God—from the most holy things and from the holy things—he eats;
Innis nyaata Waaqa isaa kan nyaata hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼee fi nyaata qulqulluu nyaachuu dandaʼa.
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.”
Garuu inni sababii hirʼina qabuuf akka iddoo qulqulluu koo hin xureessineef golgaa keessa hin seenin yookaan iddoo aarsaatti hin dhiʼaatin. Ani Waaqayyo isa isaan qulqulleessuu dha.’”
24 And Moses speaks to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
Museen Aroonitti, ilmaan Aroonittii fi Israaʼeloota hundatti waan kana hime.
