Leviticus 10

1 [Two of] Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took the pans in which they burned incense. They put some burning coals in them and put incense on top of the coals, but this fire was not acceptable [to Yahweh] because it was not the kind that he had commanded them to burn.

Or Nadab ed Abihu, figliuoli d’Aaronne, presero ciascuno il suo turibolo, vi misero dentro del fuoco, vi posero su del profumo, e offrirono davanti all’Eterno del fuoco estraneo: il che egli non aveva loro ordinato.

2 So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.

E un fuoco uscì dalla presenza dell’Eterno, e li divorò; e morirono davanti all’Eterno.

3 Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “That is what Yahweh predicted. He said, ‘Those priests who come near to me, I will show them that they must (respect me/treat me as being holy); in the presence of all the people I am the one who must be honored.’” But Aaron said nothing.

Allora Mosè disse ad Aaronne: “Questo è quello di cui l’Eterno ha parlato, quando ha detto: Io sarò santificato per mezzo di quelli che mi stanno vicino, e sarò glorificato in presenza di tutto il popolo”. E Aaronne si tacque.

4 Then Moses/I summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, who were the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Take [the corpses of] your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the Sacred Tent.”

E Mosè chiamò Mishael ed Eltsafan, figliuoli di Uziel, zio d’Aaronne, e disse loro: “Accostatevi, portate via i vostri fratelli di davanti al santuario, fuori del campo”.

5 So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].

Ed essi si accostarono, e li portaron via nelle loro tuniche, fuori del campo, come Mosè avea detto.

6 Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his [other two] sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “[You are sad because Nadab and Abihu died, but you must act like you always do]. Do not allow the hair on your [heads] to remain uncombed, and do not tear your clothes. But your relatives and all your fellow Israelis are allowed to mourn for those whom Yahweh destroyed by fire.

E Mosè disse ad Aaronne, ad Eleazar e ad Ithamar, suoi figliuoli: “Non andate a capo scoperto, e non vi stracciate le vesti, affinché non muoiate, e l’Eterno non s’adiri contro tutta la raunanza; ma i vostri fratelli, tutta quanta la casa d’Israele, menino duolo, a motivo dell’arsione che l’Eterno ha fatto.

7 But you must not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because if you do that, you also will die, and Yahweh will punish [MTY] all the people of Israel. Do not forget that Yahweh has set you apart [MTY] to work for him here, [and he does not want you to become defiled by touching a corpse].” So they did what Moses/I told them to do.

E non vi dipartite dall’ingresso della tenda di convegno, onde non abbiate a perire; poiché l’olio dell’unzione dell’Eterno è su voi”. Ed essi fecero come Mosè avea detto.

8 Then Yahweh said to Aaron,

L’Eterno parlò ad Aaronne, dicendo:

9 “You and your [two] sons [who are still alive] must not drink wine or other fermented drinks before you enter the Sacred Tent; if you do that, you will die. That is a command that you and your descendants must obey forever.

“Non bevete vino né bevande alcooliche tu e i tuoi figliuoli quando entrerete nella tenda di convegno, affinché non muoiate; sarà una legge perpetua, di generazione in generazione;

10 You must do that in order to learn what things are holy and what things are (not holy/common), and [from the things that are not holy] you must learn what things are acceptable to me and what things are not.

e questo, perché possiate discernere ciò ch’è santo da ciò che è profano e ciò che è impuro da ciò ch’è puro,

11 And you must teach to the Israeli people all the laws that I gave to the Israeli people by telling them to Moses.”

e possiate insegnare ai figliuoli d’Israele tutte le leggi che l’Eterno ha dato loro per mezzo di Mosè”.

12 Moses/I said to Aaron and his two sons who were still alive, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the offering made from grain that is left after a portion of it has been offered to Yahweh to be burned, and eat it alongside the altar. [It should not be eaten elsewhere], because it is very holy.

Poi Mosè disse ad Aaronne, ad Eleazar e ad Ithamar, i due figliuoli che restavano ad Aaronne: “Prendete quel che rimane dell’oblazione dei sacrifizi fatti mediante il fuoco all’Eterno, e mangiatelo senza lievito, presso l’altare; perché è cosa santissima.

13 Eat it in a holy place; it is the share for you and your sons from the offerings that were burned; I have commanded that it be your share.

Lo mangerete in luogo santo, perché è la parte che spetta a te e ai tuoi figliuoli, de’ sacrifizi fatti mediante il fuoco all’Eterno; poiché così mi è stato ordinato.

14 But you and your sons and daughters are permitted to eat the breast and the thigh that were lifted up in front of Yahweh. Eat them in any place that is (holy/acceptable to him). They have been given to you and your descendants as your share of the offerings to enable the Israelis to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh].

E il petto dell’offerta agitata e la coscia dell’offerta elevata li mangerete tu, i tuoi figliuoli e le tue figliuole con te, in luogo puro; perché vi sono stati dati come parte spettante a te ed ai tuoi figliuoli, dei sacrifizi di azioni di grazie de’ figliuoli d’Israele.

15 The thigh and the breast that were lifted up in front of Yahweh must be brought with the portions of fat to be burned, to be lifted up in his presence. They will be the regular share for you and your descendants, as Yahweh has commanded.”

Oltre ai grassi da ardere si porteranno la coscia dell’offerta elevata e il petto dell’offerta agitata, per esser agitati davanti all’Eterno come offerta agitata; anche questo apparterrà a te e ai tuoi figliuoli con te, per diritto perpetuo, come l’Eterno ha ordinato”.

16 When Moses/I inquired about the goat that had been sacrificed to enable the people to be forgiven by Yahweh for the sins they had committed, he/I found out that it had been completely burned. So he/I was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar and asked them,

Or Mosè cercò e ricercò il capro del sacrifizio per il peccato; ed ecco, era stato bruciato; ond’egli s’adirò gravemente contro Eleazar e contro Ithamar, i figliuoli ch’eran rimasti ad Aaronne, dicendo:

17 “Why did you not eat near the Sacred Tent the meat of the offering for sin? It was very holy, and it was given to you to enable the Israeli people to no longer be guilty for their sins and to be forgiven for their sins.

“Perché non avete mangiato il sacrifizio per il peccato nel luogo santo? giacché è cosa santissima, e l’Eterno ve l’ha dato perché portiate l’iniquità della raunanza, perché ne facciate l’espiazione davanti all’Eterno.

18 Since its blood was not taken into the holy place inside the Sacred Tent, you should have eaten the [meat of] the goat near the Sacred Tent, as I commanded.”

Ecco, il sangue della vittima non e stato portato dentro il santuario; voi avreste dovuto mangiarla nel santuario, come io avevo ordinato”.

19 Aaron replied to Moses/me, “Today the people brought to Yahweh their offering to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, and the offering to be completely burned, [and surely that pleased Yahweh], but [think about the terrible thing] that happened to my other two sons! Would [RHQ] Yahweh have been pleased if I had eaten some of the offering to cause the people to become acceptable to God?”

Ed Aaronne disse a Mosè: “Ecco oggi essi hanno offerto il loro sacrifizio per il peccato e il loro olocausto da vanti all’Eterno; e, dopo le cose che mi son successe, se oggi avessi mangiato la vittima del sacrifizio per il peccato, sarebbe ciò piaciuto all’Eterno?”

20 When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.

Quando Mosè udì questo, rimase soddisfatto.
