Leviticus 22
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yavé habló a Moisés:
2 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they do not defile My holy Name in what they are hallowing to Me; I [am] YHWH.
Dí a Aarón y a sus hijos que se mantengan alejados de las cosas sagradas que los hijos de Israel me dedican, para que no profanen mi santo Nombre. Yo, Yavé.
3 Say to them: Throughout your generations, any man who draws near, out of all your seed, to the holy things which the sons of Israel sanctify to YHWH, and his uncleanness [is] on him—indeed, that person has been cut off from before My face; I [am] YHWH.
Diles: Durante sus generaciones, cualquier descendiente suyo que, cuando está impuro, se acerque a las cosas santas que los hijos de Israel consagran a Yavé, será cortado de mi presencia. Yo, Yavé.
4 Any man of the seed of Aaron, and he is leprous or has discharging—he does not eat of the holy things until he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed [from] intercourse goes out from him,
Cualquier varón de la descendencia de Aarón que sea leproso o padezca gonorrea, no comerá de las cosas santas hasta cuando esté purificado. También el que toque cualquier cosa impura, o el varón que padezca espermatorrea,
5 or a man who comes against any teeming thing which is unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even any of his uncleanness—
o el que toque cualquier reptil que lo contamine, o a alguno por el cual quede impuro debido a cualquier impureza en él.
6 the person who comes against it has even been unclean until the evening, and does not eat of the holy things, but has bathed his flesh with water,
La persona que lo toque será impura hasta llegar la noche, y no comerá de las cosas santas hasta que haya lavado su cuerpo con agua.
7 and the sun has gone in, and he has been clean, and afterward he eats of the holy things, for it [is] his food;
Al ponerse el sol quedará limpio, y después podrá comer las cosas santas, porque es su alimento.
8 he does not eat a carcass or torn thing, to become unclean with it; I [am] YHWH.
Nada mortecino ni despedazado por fiera comerá, porque será contaminado por ello. Yo, Yavé.
9 And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they defile it; I [am] YHWH sanctifying them.
Guardarán, pues, mi ordenanza, no sea que por ese motivo cometan pecado y mueran por haberla profanado. ¡Yo, Yavé, soy el que los santifico!
10 And no stranger eats of the holy thing; a settler [with] a priest and a hired worker does not eat of the holy thing;
Ningún extraño comerá de lo sagrado. Ni el huésped del sacerdote ni el jornalero podrán comer de lo sagrado.
11 but when a priest buys a person, the purchase of his money, he eats of it, also one born in his house; they eat of his bread.
Pero si el sacerdote compra una persona con su dinero, ésta podrá comer de ello, y el nacido en su casa podrá comer de su pan.
12 And a priest’s daughter, when she is a strange man’s, she does not eat of the raised-offering of the holy things;
Si la hija del sacerdote se casa con un varón extraño, no podrá comer de la ofrenda alzada de las cosas santas.
13 but a priest’s daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out, and has no seed, and has turned back to the house of her father, as [in] her youth, she eats of her father’s bread; but no stranger eats of it.
Pero si la hija del sacerdote queda viuda o repudiada, y no tiene descendencia, y vuelve a la casa de su padre como en su juventud, podrá comer del pan de su padre. Sin embargo ningún extraño comerá de él.
14 And when a man eats of a holy thing through ignorance, then he has added its fifth part to it, and has given [it] to the priest, with the holy thing;
El que por equivocación coma una cosa sagrada, restituirá la cosa sagrada al sacerdote y añadirá a ella la quinta parte.
15 and they do not defile the holy things of the sons of Israel—that which they lift up to YHWH,
No profanarán, pues, las cosas sagradas que los hijos de Israel ofrecen a Yavé.
16 or have caused them to bear the iniquity of the guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying them.”
Hagan que la culpabilidad recaiga sobre el extraño que coma de sus cosas consagradas, porque Yo soy Yavé, Quien los santifica.
17 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yavé habló a Moisés:
18 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who brings his offering near, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to YHWH for a burnt-offering—
Habla a Aarón, a sus hijos y a todos los hijos de Israel: Si alguno de la casa de Israel o de los extranjeros en Israel que presente su ofrenda, ya sea ofrenda votiva u ofrenda voluntaria, la cual presenta a Yavé como holocausto,
19 [you bring near] at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats;
para que sea aceptada tendrá que ser un macho sin defecto de la manada de vacunos, de las ovejas o de las cabras.
20 nothing in which [is] blemish do you bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing for you.
No ofrecerán algún animal con defecto, pues no les será aceptado.
21 And when a man brings a sacrifice of peace-offerings near to YHWH, to complete a special vow, or for a willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect for a pleasing thing: no blemish is in it.
Cuando alguno ofrezca un sacrificio de paz a Yavé, ya sea para cumplir un voto o como ofrenda voluntaria, tendrá que ser sin defecto para que sea aceptado, sea del ganado vacuno o del rebaño. No habrá defecto en él.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or [having] an oozing sore [[or a defect of the eye]], or itch, or scab—you do not bring these near to YHWH, and you do not make a fire-offering from them on the altar to YHWH.
[El animal] ciego, perniquebrado, mutilado, verrugoso, sarnoso o que tenga erupciones, no lo ofrecerás a Yavé como holocausto en el altar de Yavé.
23 As for an ox or sheep [that] is deformed or stunted—you make it a willing-offering, but it is not pleasing for a vow.
Podrás ofrecer un becerro o un carnero deforme como ofrenda voluntaria, pero no será aceptado como ofrenda votiva.
24 As for bruised, or beaten, or torn, or cut—you do not bring [it] near to YHWH; and in your land you do not do it.
No ofrecerán a Yavé animal que tenga los testículos aplastados, magullados, rasgados o cortados. No harán esto en su tierra.
25 And you do not bring the bread of your God near from the hand of a son of a stranger, from any of these, for their corruption [is] in them; blemish [is] in them; they are not pleasing for you.”
Ni aun de extranjeros tomarás esos animales para ofrecerlos como alimento a tu ʼElohim, porque la deformidad está en ellos. Hay en ellos defecto. No les serán aceptados.
26 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yavé habló a Moisés:
27 “When ox, or lamb, or goat is born, and it has been under its mother [for] seven days, then from the eighth day and from now on, it is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to YHWH;
Cuando nazca un becerro, un cordero o un cabrito, estará con su madre siete días, pero desde el octavo día será aceptado como un holocausto a Yavé.
28 but an ox or sheep—you do not slaughter it and its young one in one day.
Pero no degollarán una vaca o una oveja junto con su cría el mismo día.
29 And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to YHWH, you sacrifice at your pleasure;
Cuando ofrezcan sacrificio de acción de gracias a Yavé, lo sacrificarán de tal manera que sea aceptado.
30 it is eaten on that day—you do not leave of it until morning; I [am] YHWH.
Se comerá el mismo día. Nada de él dejarán hasta la mañana. Yo, Yavé.
31 And you have kept my commands and have done them; I [am] YHWH;
Observarán mis Mandamientos y los practicarán. Yo, Yavé.
32 and you do not defile My holy Name, and I have been hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I [am] YHWH, sanctifying you,
No profanarán mi santo Nombre, pues Yo seré santificado en medio de los hijos de Israel. Yo soy Yavé, Quien los santifica,
33 who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become your God; I [am] YHWH.”
el que los sacó de la tierra de Egipto para ser su ʼElohim. ¡Yo, Yavé!
