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 Moses: Tal til Præsterne, Arons Sønner, og sig til dem: Præsten maa ikke gøre sig uren ved Lig blandt sin Slægt,
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,
medmindre det er hans nærmeste kødelige Slægtninge, hans Moder eller Fader, hans Søn eller Datter, hans Broder
3 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
eller Søster, for saa vidt hun var Jomfru og endnu hørte til hans Familie og ikke var gift; i saa Fald maa han gøre sig uren ved hende;
4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
men han maa ikke gøre sig uren ved hende, naar hun var gift med en Mand af hans Slægt, og saaledes paadrage sig Vanhelligelse.
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 maa ikke klippe sig en skaldet Plet paa deres Hoved, ikke studse deres Skæg eller gøre Indsnit i deres Legeme.
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.
Hellige skal de være for deres Gud og maa ikke vanhellige deres Guds Navn, thi de frembærer HERRENS Ildofre, deres Guds Spise; derfor skal de være 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.
En Horkvinde og en skændet Kvinde maa de ikke ægte; heller ikke en Kvinde, der er forstødt af sin Mand, maa de ægte; thi han er helliget sin 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.
Du skal regne ham for hellig, thi han frembærer din Guds Spise; han skal være dig hellig, thi hellig er jeg HERREN, som helliger dem.
9 "'The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father: she shall be burned with fire.
Naar en Præstedatter vanhelliger sig ved at bedrive Hor, da vanhelliger hun sin Fader; hun skal brændes paa Baal.
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;
Den Præst, der er den ypperste blandt sine Brødre, han, over hvis Hoved Salveolien udgydes, og som indsættes ved at iføres Klæderne, maa hverken lade sit Hovedhaar vokse frit eller sønderrive sine Klæder.
11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
Han maa ikke gaa hen til noget som helst Lig, end ikke ved sin Fader eller Moder maa han gøre sig uren.
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.
Han maa ikke forlade Helligdommen for ikke at vanhellige sin Guds Helligdom, thi hans Guds Salveolies Vielse er paa ham; jeg er HERREN!
13 "'He shall take a wife in her virginity.
Han skal ægte en Kvinde, der er Jomfru;
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, en forstødt, en skændet, en Horkvinde maa han ikke ægte, kun en Jomfru af sin Slægt maa han tage til Hustru,
15 He shall not profane his offspring among his people: for I am YHWH who sanctifies him.'"
for at han ikke skal vanhellige sit Afkom blandt sin Slægt; thi jeg er HERREN, som helliger ham.
16 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses 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: Ingen af dit Afkom i de kommende Slægter, som har en Legemsfejl, maa træde frem for at frembære sin Guds Spise,
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,
det maa ingen, som har en Legemsfejl, hverken en blind eller en halt eller en med vansiret Ansigt eller for lang en Legemsdel
19 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
eller med Brud paa Ben eller Arm
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 en pukkelrygget eller en med Tæring eller en, der har Pletter i Øjnene eller lider af Skab eller Ringorm eller har svulne Testikler.
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.
Af Præsten Arons Efterkommere maa ingen, som har en Legemsfejl, nærme sig for at frembære HERRENS Ildofre; han har en Legemsfejl, han maa ikke nærme sig for at frembære sin Guds Spise.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
Han maa vel spise sin Guds Spise, baade det, som er højhelligt, og det, som er helligt,
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.'"
men til Forhænget maa han ikke komme, og Alteret maa han ikke nærme sig, thi han har en Legemsfejl og maa ikke vanhellige mine hellige Ting; thi jeg er HERREN, som helliger dem.
24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
Og Moses talte saaledes til Aron og hans Sønner og alle Israeliterne.
