Leviticus 21
1 Jehovah 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;
Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: Loquere ad sacerdotes filios Aaron, et dices ad eos: Ne contaminetur sacerdos in mortibus civium suorum,
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,
nisi tantum in consanguineis, ac propinquis, id est, super patre et matre, et filio, et filia, fratre quoque,
3 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
et sorore virgine quae non est nupta viro:
4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
sed nec in principe populi sui contaminabitur.
5 "'They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
Non radent sacerdotes caput, nec barbam, neque in carnibus suis facient incisuras.
6 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.
Sancti erunt Deo suo, et non polluent nomen eius: incensum enim Domini, et panes Dei sui offerunt, et ideo sancti erunt.
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.
Scortum et vile prostibulum non ducent uxorem, nec eam, quae repudiata est a marito: quia consecrati sunt Deo suo,
8 You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy to you: for I Jehovah, who sanctify you, am holy.
et panes propositionis offerunt. Sint ergo sancti, quia et ego sanctus sum, Dominus, qui sanctifico eos.
9 "'The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father: she shall be burned with fire.
Sacerdotis filia si deprehensa fuerit in stupro, et violaverit nomen patris sui, flammis exuretur.
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;
Pontifex, id est, sacerdos maximus inter fratres suos, super cuius caput fusum est unctionis oleum, et cuius manus in sacerdotio consecratae sunt, vestitusque est sanctis vestibus, caput suum non discooperiet, vestimenta non scindet:
11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
et ad omnem mortuum non ingredietur omnino. super patre quoque suo, et matre non contaminabitur.
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 Jehovah.
Nec egredietur de sanctis, ne polluat Sanctuarium Domini, quia oleum sanctae unctionis Dei sui super eum est. ego Dominus.
13 "'He shall take a wife in her virginity.
Virginem ducet uxorem:
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.
Viduam autem et repudiatam, et sordidam, atque meretricem non accipiet, sed puellam de populo suo:
15 He shall not profane his offspring among his people: for I am Jehovah who sanctifies him.'"
ne commisceat stirpem generis sui vulgo gentis suae: quia ego Dominus qui sanctifico eum.
16 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
17 "Say to Aaron, 'None of your descendants throughout their generations who has a blemish, may approach to offer the bread of his God.
Loquere ad Aaron: Homo de semine tuo per familias qui habuerit maculam, non offeret panes Deo suo,
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,
nec accedet ad ministerium eius: si caecus fuerit, si claudus, si vel parvo vel grandi, vel torto naso,
19 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
si fracto pede, si manu,
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;
si gibbus, si lippus, si albuginem habens in oculo, si iugem scabiem, si impetiginem in corpore, vel herniosus.
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.
Omnis qui habuerit maculam de semine Aaron sacerdotis, non accedet offerre hostias Domino, nec panes Deo suo:
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
vescetur tamen panibus, qui offeruntur in Sanctuario,
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 Jehovah who sanctifies them.'"
ita dumtaxat, ut intra velum non ingrediatur, nec accedat ad altare, qui maculam habet, et contaminare non debet Sanctuarium meum. Ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos.
24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
Locutus est ergo Moyses ad Aaron, et ad filios eius, et ad omnem Israel cuncta quae fuerant sibi imperata.
