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,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, Lea ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa fakaʻuliʻi ha tokotaha koeʻuhi ko e pekia ʻoku ʻi hono kakai:

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,

Ka koeʻuhi ko hono kāinga moʻoni, ʻoku ofi kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene faʻē, pea mo ʻene tamai, pea mo hono foha, pea mo hono ʻofefine, pea mo hono tokoua,

3 and for his sister, the virgin, who is near to him, who has not been to a man; he is defiled for her.

Pea koeʻuhi ko hono tuofefine ko e tāupoʻou, ʻaia ʻoku ofi kiate ia, pea kuo teʻeki ai hano husepāniti; ʻoku ngofua ʻene taʻemaʻa koeʻuhi ko ia.

4 A master [priest] does not defile himself among his people—to defile himself;

Kaeʻoua naʻa ne fakaʻuliʻi ia koeʻuhi ko ha taha ʻeiki ʻi hono kakai, ke ne taʻemaʻa ai.

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;

“ʻE ʻikai tenau tekefua honau ʻulu, pe tele hono potu tuliki ʻoe kava, pe fai ha tafatafaʻi ʻi honau sino.

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.

Tenau māʻoniʻoni ki honau ʻOtua, kaeʻoua naʻa fakaongokoviʻi ʻae huafa ʻo honau ʻOtua: he ko e ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova ʻoku ngaohi ʻi he afi, pea ʻoku nau ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa honau ʻOtua; ko ia ʻe māʻoniʻoni ai ʻakinautolu.

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;

‌ʻE ʻikai tenau fakamaʻu mali mo ha fefine faʻa feʻauaki, pe ha taʻelotu; pea ʻoua naʻa nau maʻu ʻae fefine kuo tukuange mei hono mali: he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ia ki hono ʻOtua.

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.

Ko ia ke ke fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ia; he ʻoku ne ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa ho ʻOtua; ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia kiate koe: he ko au Sihova, ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni.

9 And when a daughter of any priest defiles herself by going whoring—she is defiling her father; she is burned with fire.

Pea ko e ʻofefine ʻo ha taulaʻeiki, kapau ʻoku ne fakahalaʻi ʻe ia ia ʻi he fai feʻauaki, ʻoku ne fakahalaʻi ʻene tamai: ʻe tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi.

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,

“Pea ko ia ʻoku taulaʻeiki lahi ʻi hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻaia naʻe lingi ki hono ʻulu ʻae lolo ʻoe fakanofo, pea kuo fakatapui ke ʻai ʻae ngaahi kofu, ʻe ʻikai toʻo ʻe ia hono tatā, pe hae hono kofu;

11 nor does he come beside any dead person; he does not defile himself for his father and for his mother;

Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻalu ia ki ha sino ʻoku mate, pe fakahalaʻi ʻe ia ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene tamai, pe ko ʻene faʻē;

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.

Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia kituaʻā ʻi he faletapu, pe fakahalaʻi ʻae faletapu ʻo hono ʻOtua; he ko e tatā ʻoe lolo tākai ʻo hono ʻOtua ʻoku ʻiate ia: Ko au ko Sihova.

13 And he takes a wife in her virginity;

Pea te ne fili ʻe ia hono uaifi ko e tāupoʻou.

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,

Ko e fefine paea, pe ko e fefine fakamāvae, pe ko e taʻelotu, pe ko e feʻauaki, ko kinautolu ni ʻe ʻikai te ne fili: kae maʻu ʻe ia ha taʻahine mei hono kakai ko hono uaifi.

15 and he does not defile his seed among his people; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying him.”

Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakahalaʻi ʻe ia hono hako ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hono kakai: he ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ia.”

16 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

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,

Lea kia ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia ʻi ho hako ʻi honau toʻutangata kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻiate ia hano mele, ʻoua naʻa ʻunuʻunu mai ia ke ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa hono ʻOtua.

18 for no man in whom [is] a blemish draws near: a man blind, or lame, or disfigured, or deformed,

He ko e tangata ko ia ʻoku ai hano mele, ʻoua naʻa ʻunuʻunu mai ia: ko e tangata kui, pe ko e ketu, pe ko ia ʻoku ihu lafalafa, pe ai haʻane anga ʻoku kehe,

19 or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,

Pe ha tangata ʻoku veʻe fasi, pe nima fasi,

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.

‌ʻAe tuʻa piko pe ko e kihi, pe hangatāmakia hono mata, pe ko e kamaa, pe ko e mongumangu, pe ko e tangapula.

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.

‌ʻIlonga ʻae tangata ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki ʻoku ʻiate ia ha mele, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻunuʻunu mai ia ke ʻatu kia Sihova ʻae feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi: ʻoku ʻiate ia hano mele; ʻe ʻikai ofi mai ia ke ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa hono ʻOtua.

22 Bread of his God—from the most holy things and from the holy things—he eats;

‌ʻE kai ʻe ia ʻae mā ʻa hono ʻOtua, ʻio, ʻae māʻoniʻoni lahi, pea mo e māʻoniʻoni pe.

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.”

Ka koeʻuhi pe ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻalu ki he loto puipui, pe hoko ʻo ofi ki he feilaulauʻanga, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻiate ia hano mele; ke ʻoua naʻa fakahalaʻi ʻe ia hoku ngaahi potu tapu: he ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoni ʻakinautolu.”

24 And Moses speaks to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.

Pea naʻe tala ia ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone, pea ki hono ngaahi foha, pea ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli.
