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;
Olúwa sọ fún Mose wí pe, “Bá àwọn àlùfáà tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Aaroni sọ̀rọ̀, kí o sì sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú wọn kò gbọdọ̀ sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́ nítorí àwọn ènìyàn wọn tí ó kù.
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,
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá ṣe àwọn tí ó súnmọ́ ọn bí ìyá rẹ̀, baba rẹ̀, ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin, àti arákùnrin rẹ̀.
3 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
Tàbí fún arábìnrin rẹ̀ tí kò ì tí ì wọ ilé ọkọ tí ó ń gbé lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀. Nítorí tí arábìnrin bẹ́ẹ̀, ó lè sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́.
4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
Nítorí tí ó jẹ́ olórí, òun kò gbọdọ̀ sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́ láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
5 "'They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
“‘Àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ fá irun orí rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ rẹ́ irùngbọ̀n rẹ̀. Kò gbọdọ̀ fi abẹ ya ara rẹ̀ láti fihàn pé òun wà ní ipò ọ̀fọ̀.
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.
Wọ́n gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ mímọ́ fún Ọlọ́run, kí wọ́n má ba à sọ orúkọ Ọlọ́run wọn di àìmọ́, nítorí pé àwọn ni wọ́n ń fi iná sun ẹbọ sí Olúwa wọn, ti ó jẹ oúnjẹ Ọlọ́run wọn. Nítorí náà wọn gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ mímọ́.
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.
“‘Àwọn àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ panṣágà tàbí obìnrin tí ó ti fi ọkùnrin ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́ tàbí obìnrin tí ọkọ rẹ̀ ti kọ̀sílẹ̀ nítorí pé àwọn àlùfáà jẹ́ mímọ́ sí Ọlọ́run wọn.
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.
Àwọn ènìyàn gbọdọ̀ máa kà wọ́n sí mímọ́, nítorí pé àwọn ni wọ́n ń rú ẹbọ oúnjẹ fún mi. Èmi ni Olúwa, mo jẹ́ mímọ́, mo sì ya àwọn ènìyàn mi sí mímọ́.
9 "'The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father: she shall be burned with fire.
“‘Bí ọmọbìnrin àlùfáà kan bá fi iṣẹ́ àgbèrè ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́, ó dójútì baba rẹ̀, iná ni a ó dá sun ún.
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;
“‘Lẹ́yìn tí a ti fi òróró yan olórí àlùfáà láàrín àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, tí a sì ti fi àmì òróró yàn án láti máa wọ aṣọ àlùfáà, ó gbọdọ̀ tọ́jú irun orí rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya láti fihàn pé òun wà ní ipò ọ̀fọ̀.
11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
Kí ó ma ṣe wọlé tọ òkú lọ, kí ó má ṣe sọ ará rẹ di àìmọ́ nítorí baba tàbí nítorí ìyá rẹ̀.
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.
Kò gbọdọ̀ kúrò ní ibi mímọ́ Ọlọ́run tàbí kí ó sọ ọ́ di aláìmọ́ torí pé a ti fi ìfòróróyàn Ọlọ́run yà á sí mímọ́. Èmi ni Olúwa.
13 "'He shall take a wife in her virginity.
“‘Ọmọbìnrin tí yóò fẹ́ gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ ẹni tí kò mọ ọkùnrin rí.
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.
Kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ opó tàbí ẹni tí a kọ̀sílẹ̀ tàbí obìnrin tí ó ti fi àgbèrè ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n kí ó fẹ́ obìnrin tí kò mọ ọkùnrin rí, láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
15 He shall not profane his offspring among his people: for I am YHWH who sanctifies him.'"
Kí ó má ba à sọ di aláìmọ́ nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀. Èmi ni Olúwa tí ó sọ ọ́ di mímọ́.’”
16 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Olúwa sì bá Mose sọ̀rọ̀ pé,
17 "Say to Aaron, 'None of your descendants throughout their generations who has a blemish, may approach to offer the bread of his God.
“Sọ fún Aaroni pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ ní ìran-ìran wọn, tí ó bá ní ààrùn kan, kí ó má ṣe súnmọ́ tòsí láti rú ẹbọ ohun jíjẹ sí Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
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,
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ní àbùkù kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ibi ẹbọ náà. Kò gbọdọ̀ sí afọ́jú tàbí arọ, alábùkù ara tàbí àwọn tí ara wọn kò pé.
19 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
Kò gbọdọ̀ sí ẹnikẹ́ni yálà ó rọ lápá lẹ́sẹ̀,
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;
tàbí tí ó jẹ́ abuké, tàbí tí ó ya aràrá tàbí tí ó ní àìsàn ojú tàbí tí ó ní egbò tàbí tí a ti yọ nǹkan ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀.
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.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ní àbùkù nínú irú-ọmọ Aaroni àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ tòsí láti rú ẹbọ tí fi iná sun sí Olúwa. Nítorí pé ó jẹ́ alábùkù, kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ tòsí láti rú ẹbọ àkàrà sí Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
Ó lè jẹ́ oúnjẹ Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ tàbí èyí tí ó mọ́ jùlọ, ṣùgbọ́n torí pé ó ní àbùkù kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ibi aṣọ títa tàbí pẹpẹ.
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.'"
Nípa ṣíṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ yóò ba ibi mímọ́ mi jẹ́ torí pé, Èmi Olúwa ló ti sọ wọ́n di mímọ́.’”
24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ohun tí Mose sọ fún Aaroni, àwọn ọmọ Aaroni àti gbogbo ọmọ Israẹli.
