Leviticus 21
1 And Yahweh said unto Moses, Say unto the priests, the sons of Aaron, —yea thou shalt say unto them, For a dead person, shall no one make himself unclean among his people:
Y el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Habla a los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón, y diles que no se contaminen por un muerto en sus pueblos.
2 Saving for his kin, that are near unto him, for his mother or for his father, or for his son or for his daughter, or for his brother;
Mas por su pariente cercano a sí, por su madre, o por su padre, o por su hijo, o por su hermano,
3 or for his sister, a virgin who is near unto him, who belongeth not unto a husband, —for her, he may make himself unclean:
o por su hermana virgen, a él cercana, la cual no haya tenido marido, por ella se contaminará.
4 He shall not make himself unclean being a chief among his people, —by profaning himself:
No se contaminará, por el príncipe en su pueblo, ensuciándose.
5 They shall not make a baldness behind in their head, And the border of their beard, shall they not cut off, —And, in their flesh, shall they not make incisions.
No harán calva en su cabeza, ni raerán la punta de su barba, ni en su carne harán rasguños.
6 Holy persons, shall they be unto their God, and not profane the name of their God, —for, the altar-flames of Yahweh, the food of their God, do they bring near—Therefore shall they be holy.
Santos serán a su Dios, y no ensuciarán el nombre de su Dios; porque los fuegos del SEÑOR, el pan de su Dios ofrecen; por tanto serán santos.
7 A woman that is unchaste or dishonoured, shall they not take, And a woman divorced from her husband, shall they not take, —For holy, he is unto his God.
Mujer ramera o infame no tomarán; ni tomarán mujer repudiada de su marido; porque el sacerdote es santo a su Dios.
8 Therefore shalt thou hold him as holy, for the food of thy God, doth he bring near, —Holy, shall he be to thee, For, holy, am I—Yahweh, who am making you holy.
Y lo santificarás, porque el pan de tu Dios ofrece; santo será a ti, porque santo soy yo el SEÑOR vuestro santificador.
9 And, the daughter of any priest, when she profaneth herself by unchastity, Her father, she, doth profane, with fire, shall she be consumed.
Y la hija del varón sacerdote, si comenzare a fornicar, a su padre contamina; quemada será en fuego.
10 And, as for the high priest from among his brethren upon whose head is poured the anointing oil, and who is installed, by putting on the garments, His head, shall he not bare, And, his garments, shall he not rend;
Y el sumo sacerdote entre sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fue derramado el aceite de la unción, y que fue consagrado para vestir las vestimentas, no descubrirá su cabeza, ni romperá sus vestidos;
11 And, unto no persons of the dead, shall he go in, —For his father or for his mother, shall he not make himself unclean;
ni entrará a alguna persona muerta, ni por su padre, o por su madre se contaminará.
12 And, out of the sanctuary, shall he not go forth, so shall he not profane the sanctuary of his God, —for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him—I, am Yahweh.
Ni saldrá del santuario, ni ensuciará el santuario de su Dios; porque la corona del aceite de la unción de su Dios está sobre él. Yo soy el SEÑOR.
13 But, he, shall take a woman in her virginity:
Y tomará él mujer con su virginidad.
14 A widow or a divorced woman or one dishonoured—an unchaste woman, these, shall he not take, But, a virgin from among his own kinsfolk, shall he take to wife;
Viuda, o repudiada, o infame, o ramera, éstas no tomará; mas tomará virgen de su pueblo por mujer.
15 So shall he not profane his seed, among his kinsfolk, —For I—Yahweh, do hallow him.
Y no ensuciará su simiente en su pueblo; porque yo el SEÑOR soy el que los santifico.
16 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Y el SEÑOR habló a Moisés, diciendo:
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, —No man of thy seed, unto their generations in whom shall be any blemish, shall come near, to present the food of his God.
Habla a Aarón, y dile: El varón de tu simiente en sus generaciones, en el cual hubiere falta, no se acercará para ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
18 Surely, no man in whom is any blemish, shall come near, —No man who is blind or lame, or hath a flat nose, or is lanky;
Porque ningún varón en el cual hubiere falta, se acercará: varón ciego, o cojo, o falto, o sobrado,
19 nor any man who hath a broken foot, —or a broken hand;
o varón en el cual hubiere quebradura de pie o quebradura de mano,
20 or is hump-backed or a dwarf, or hath defective vision, —or hath scurvy or scab, or is crushed in the stones:
o jorobado, o lagañoso, o que tuviere nube en el ojo, o que tuviere sarna, o empeine, o testículo atrofiado.
21 No, man in whom is a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest, shall approach, to bring near the altar-flames of Yahweh, —a blemish, is in him, the food of his God, shall he not approach to bring near:
Ningún varón de la simiente de Aarón sacerdote, en el cual hubiere falta, se acercará para ofrecer las ofrendas encendidas del SEÑOR. Hay falta en él; no se acercará a ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
22 Of the food of his God, both of the most holy, —and the holy, may he eat:
El pan de su Dios, de lo santísimo y de las cosas santificadas, comerá.
23 Only, unto the veil, shall he not come in and unto the altar, shall he not approach—because, a blemish, is in him, so shall he not profane my sanctuaries, For, I—Yahweh, am hallowing them.
Pero no entrará del velo adentro, ni se acercará al altar, por cuanto hay falta en él; y no ensuciará mi santuario, porque yo el SEÑOR soy el que los santifico.
24 And Moses spake [these things] unto Aaron, and unto his sons, —and unto all the sons of Israel.
Y Moisés habló esto a Aarón, y a sus hijos, y a todos los hijos de Israel.
