Leviticus 21
1 YHWH 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;
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Tal til Præsterne, Arons Sønner, og sig til dem: En Præst skal ikke gøre sig uren ved et Lig iblandt sit Folk,
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,
uden ved hans næste Slægt, som ham næst tilhører, ved hans Moder og ved hans Fader og ved hans Søn og ved hans Datter og ved hans Broder
3 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
og ved hans Søster, som er en Jomfru, hans næste Paarørende, som ikke har været nogen Mands Hustru; ved hende maa han gøre sig uren.
4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
Han skal ikke besmitte sig, da han er en Herre iblandt sit Folk, saa han vanhelliger sig.
5 "'They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
De skulle ikke gøre deres Hoved skaldet og ikke afrage det yderste af deres Skæg, og ej skære et Indsnit i deres Kød.
6 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings of YHWH made by fire, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.
De skulle være hellige for deres Gud og ikke vanhellige deres Guds Navn; thi de ofre Herrens Ildoffer, deres Guds Brød, og derfor skulle de være aldeles hellige.
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.
De skulle ikke tage nogen Horekone eller en, som er krænket, til Ægte; og den Kvinde, som er forskudt af sin Mand, skulle de ikke tage; thi han er hellig for Gud.
8 You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy to you: for I YHWH, who sanctify you, am holy.
Derfor skal du holde ham hellig, thi han ofrer din Guds Brød; han skal være dig hellig, thi jeg Herren er hellig, som gør eder hellige.
9 "'The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father: she shall be burned with fire.
Og naar nogen Præsts Datter begynder at bedrive Hor, har hun vanhelliget sin Fader, hun skal brændes med Ild.
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;
Og den, som er Ypperstepræst iblandt sine Brødre, paa hvis Hoved Salveolien er udøst, og hvis Haand man har fyldt, for at han skal iføre sig Klæderne, han skal ikke blotte sit Hoved og ej sønderrive sine Klæder.
11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
Og han skal ikke komme til noget Lig, han skal ikke gøre sig uren, hverken ved sin Fader eller ved sin Moder.
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 YHWH.
Og han skal ikke gaa ud af Helligdommen, og han skal ikke vanhellige sin Guds Helligdom; thi hans Guds Salveolies Hovedsmykke er paa ham. Jeg er Herren.
13 "'He shall take a wife in her virginity.
Og han skal tage sig en Hustru i hendes Jomfrustand.
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.
En Enke eller en forskudt eller en krænket, en Hore, dem skal han ikke tage, men en Jomfru af sit Folk skal han tage til Hustru.
15 He shall not profane his offspring among his people: for I am YHWH who sanctifies him.'"
Og han skal ikke vanhellige sin Sæd iblandt sit Folk; thi jeg er Herren, som gør ham hellig.
16 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
17 "Say to Aaron, 'None of your descendants throughout their generations who has a blemish, may approach to offer the bread of his God.
Tal til Aron og sig: Naar der er en Mand af din Sæd i deres Slægter, paa hvem der er en Lyde, han skal ikke komme nær til, at ofre sin Guds Brød;
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,
thi ingen Mand, paa hvem der er Lyde, skal komme nær, hvad enten det er en Mand, som er blind eller lam, eller som har noget Lem for kort eller for langt,
19 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
eller en Mand, som har Bræk paa Fod eller Bræk paa Haand,
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;
eller som er krogrygget eller er en Dværg eller har Men paa sit Øje, eller som har Skurv eller Fnat, eller som har Brok.
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.
Og ingen Mand af Præsten Arons Sæd, paa hvem der er Lyde, skal gaa frem at ofre Herrens Ildofre; der er Lyde paa ham, han skal ikke gaa frem til at ofre sin Guds Brød.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
Dog maa han æde sin Guds Brød, baade af de højhellige Ting og af de andre hellige Ting.
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 YHWH who sanctifies them.'"
Kun skal han ikke komme til Forhænget og ej gaa frem til Alteret; thi der er Lyde paa ham, og han skal ikke vanhellige mine Helligdomme; thi jeg er Herren, som gør dem hellige.
24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
Og Mose sagde dette til Aron og til hans Sønner og til alle Israels Børn.
