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 Mosen loquere ad sacerdotes filios Aaron et dices eis 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 matre et patre et filio ac 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 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 ducet uxorem nec eam quae repudiata est a marito quia consecratus est 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 offert sit ergo sanctus quia et ego sanctus sum Dominus qui sanctifico vos
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 discoperiet 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 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 Mosen 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 et 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 inpetiginem in corpore vel hirniosus
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 quia 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 Moses ad Aaron et filios eius et ad omnem Israhel cuncta quae sibi fuerant imperata
