Leviticus 21

1 The LORD said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, 'A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people;

١ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «أَوْصِ الْكَهَنَةَ أَبْنَاءَ هَرُونَ أَلّا يُنَجِّسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ نَفْسَهُ بِلَمْسِ جُثَّةِ مَيْتٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ،

2 except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,

٢ إِلّا إِذَا كَانَ الْمَيْتُ أَقْرَبَ أَقْرِبَائِهِ إِلَيْهِ: أُمَّهُ وَأَبَاهُ وَابْنَهُ وَابْنَتَهُ وَأَخَاهُ،

3 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.

٣ وَأُخْتَهُ الْعَذْرَاءَ الَّتِي لَمْ تَتَزَوَّجْ، الْمُقِيمَةَ عَلَى مَقْرُبَةٍ مِنْهُ، فَمِنْ أَجْلِهَا يَتَنَجَّسُ،

4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.

٤ لأَنَّ الْكَاهِنَ هُوَ رَئِيسٌ فِي قَوْمِهِ، وَعَلَيْهِ أَلّا يُنَجِّسَ نَفْسَهُ شَعَائِرِيًّا كَغَيْرِهِ مِنَ النَّاسِ الْعَادِيِّينَ.

5 "'They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

٥ وَلا يَحْلِقَ الْكَاهِنُ شَعْرَهُ قَرْعَةً، أَوْ جَانِبَيْ لِحْيَتِهِ، أَوْ يَجْرَحَ جَسَدَهُ حُزْناً عَلَى مَيْتٍ.

6 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.

٦ وَعَلَى الْكَهَنَةِ أَنْ يَكُونُوا مَفْرُوزِينَ لإِلَهِهِمْ. لَا يُدَنِّسُوا اسْمَهُ لأَنَّهُمْ يُقَرِّبُونَ وَقَائِدَ الرَّبِّ كَأَنَّهَا طَعَامٌ يُقَدِّمُونَهُ لإِلَهِهِمْ فَيَكُونُ مُقَدَّساً.

7 "'They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane; neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband: for he is holy to his God.

٧ وَلا يَتَزَوَّجُوا امْرَأَةً زَانِيَةً أَوْ مِنْ غَيْرِ سِبْطِهِمْ، أَوِ امْرَأَةً مُطَلَّقَةً مِنْ زَوْجِهَا، لأَنَّهُمْ مُقَدَّسُونَ لإِلَهِهِمْ،

8 You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy to you: for I the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy.

٨ لأَنَّ الْكَاهِنَ مُفْرَزٌ لِيُقَدِّمَ ذَبَائِحَ لإِلَهِكَ فَهُوَ مُقَدَّسٌ عِنْدَكَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُكُمْ، قُدُّوسٌ.

9 "'The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father: she shall be burned with fire.

٩ وَإذَا زَنَتِ ابْنَةُ الْكَاهِنِ فَيَجِبُ حَرْقُهَا لأَنَّهَا دَنَّسَتْ قَدَاسَةَ أَبِيهَا.

10 "'He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, nor tear his clothes;

١٠ وَالْكَاهِنُ الأَعْظَمُ بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِ، الَّذِي سُكِبَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ دُهْنُ الْمَسْحَةِ، وَتَكَرَّسَ لِيَرْتَدِيَ الثِّيَابَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ، لَا يَكْشِفُ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ وَلا يَشُقُّ ثِيَابَهُ حِدَاداً عَلَى مَيْتٍ.

11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;

١١ وَلْيَتَفَادَ الدُّخُولَ إِلَى مَكَانٍ فِيهِ جُثَّةُ مَيْتٍ. وَلا يُنَجِّسْ نَفْسَهُ بِلَمْسِ جُثْمَانِ مَيْتٍ، حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ جُثْمَانَ أَبِيهِ أَوْ أُمِّهِ.

12 neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am the LORD.

١٢ لَا يُفَارِقِ الْمَقْدِسَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ خِدْمَتِهِ، لِئَلّا يُدَنِّسَ مَقْدِسَ إِلَهِهِ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَمَّ تَكْرِيسُهُ بِسَكْبِ دُهْنِ مَسْحَةِ إِلَهِهِ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَنَا الرَّبُّ.

13 "'He shall take a wife in her virginity.

١٣ لِيَتَزَوَّجْ مِنْ عَذْرَاءَ،

14 A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute, these he shall not marry: but a virgin of his own people shall he take as a wife.

١٤ لَا مِنْ أَرْمَلَةٍ، وَلا مُطَلَّقَةٍ، وَلا زَانِيَةٍ مُدَنَّسَةٍ، بَلْ يَتَزَوَّجُ عَذْرَاءَ مِنْ سِبْطِهِ.

15 He shall not profane his offspring among his people: for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.'"

١٥ فَلا يُدَنِّسُ نَسْلَهُ بَيْنَ شَعْبِهِ، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أُقَدِّسُهُ».

16 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

١٦ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

17 "Say to Aaron, 'None of your descendants throughout their generations who has a blemish, may approach to offer the bread of his God.

١٧ «قُلْ لِهَرُونَ: لَا يُقَرِّبْ رَجُلٌ مِنْ نَسْلِكَ فِيهِ عَاهَةٌ ذَبَائِحَ لإِلَهِهِ عَلَى مَدَى أَجْيَالِهِمْ،

18 For whatever man he is that has a blemish, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,

١٨ فَكُلُّ رَجُلٍ مُصَابٍ بِعَاهَةٍ لَا يَتَقَدَّمْ سَوَاءٌ أَكَانَ أَعْمَى أَمْ أَعْرَجَ أَمْ مُشَوَّهَ الْوَجْهِ أَمْ فِيهِ عُضْوٌ زَائِدٌ،

19 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,

١٩ وَلا مَكْسُورَ الْيَدِ أَوِ الرِّجْلِ،

20 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles;

٢٠ وَلا أَحْدَبَ وَلا قَزْمَ، أَوْ مَنْ فِي عَيْنِهِ بَيَاضٌ، وَلا الأَجْرَبَ وَلا الأَكْلَفَ وَلا مَرْضُوضَ الْخِصْيَةِ.

21 no man of the descendants of Aaron the priest, who has a blemish, shall come near to present offerings to your God made by fire. Since he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.

٢١ يُحَظَرُ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ فِيهِ عَاهَةٌ مِنْ نَسْلِ هرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ لِيُقَرِّبَ ذَبَائِحَ الرَّبِّ،

22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.

٢٢ وَلَكِنَّهُ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ ذَبَائِحِ إِلَهِهِ، الْمُقَدَّمَةِ فِي قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ وَالْقُدْسِ.

23 He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.'"

٢٣ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ إِلَى مَا وَرَاءِ الحِجَابِ، وَلا يَقْتَرِبُ مِنَ الْمَذْبَحِ، لأَنَّ فِيهِ عَيْباً، لِئَلّا يُدَنِّسَ مَقْدِسِي، لأَنَّنِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أُقَدِّسُهُمْ».

24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.

٢٤ وَهَكَذَا أَبْلَغَ مُوسَى هَذِهِ الْوَصَايَا لِهَرُونَ وَأَبْنَائِهِ وَسَائِرِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.
