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.
Nadab y Abiú, hijos de Aarón, tomaron cada uno su incensario, pusieron fuego en ellos, y después de echar incienso encima, ofrecieron ante Yahvé un fuego extraño que Él no les había mandado.
2 So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.
Entonces salió fuego de la presencia de Yahvé que los devoró; y murieron delante de Yahvé.
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.
Por lo cual dijo Moisés a Aarón: “Esto es lo que Yahvé ha declarado diciendo: He de ser santificado por los que se me acercan, y glorificado delante de todo el pueblo.” Aarón enmudeció.
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.”
Entonces llamó Moisés a Misael y a Elsafán, hijos de Usiel, tío de Aarón, y les dijo: “Aproximaos y sacad a vuestros hermanos de delante del Santuario, llevándolos fuera del campamento.”
5 So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].
Se aproximaron, pues, y los llevaron con sus túnicas fuera del campamento, como Moisés había mandado.
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.
Y dijo Moisés a Aarón y a sus hijos Eleazar e Itamar: “No descubráis vuestras cabezas ni rasguéis vuestras vestiduras, no sea que muráis y se irrite Yahvé contra todo el pueblo; mas vuestros hermanos y toda la casa de Israel lloren el incendio que Yahvé ha encendido.
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.
Tampoco salgáis de la entrada del Tabernáculo de la Reunión, no sea que muráis, pues el óleo de la unción de Yahvé está sobre vosotros.” Ellos hicieron conforme a la palabra de Moisés.
8 Then Yahweh said to Aaron,
Habló Yahvé a Aarón, diciendo:
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.
“Cuando entréis en el Tabernáculo de la Reunión, no beberéis vino ni bebida que pueda embriagar, ni tú, ni tus hijos contigo, no sea que muráis. Ley perpetua es esta para vuestros descendientes;
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.
a fin de que podáis distinguir entre lo sagrado y lo profano, y entre lo impuro y lo 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.”
y enseñar a los hijos de Israel todos los preceptos que Yahvé les ha dado por medio de Moisés.”
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.
Moisés dijo a Aarón y a Eleazar e Itamar, los hijos que le quedaban (a Aarón): “Tomad la ofrenda que sobra de los sacrificios quemados en honor de Yahvé y comedla sin levadura junto al altar, pues es cosa santísima.
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.
La comeréis en lugar sagrado, por ser porción tuya, y porción de tus hijos, de los sacrificios quemados en honor de Yahvé, pues así se me ha ordenado.
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].
Comeréis también en lugar puro, tú y tus hijos y tus hijas contigo, el pecho mecido y la pierna alzada, porque de los sacrificios pacíficos de los hijos de Israel os han sido dados como porción tuya y porción de tus hijos.
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.”
Ellos presentarán la pierna alzada y el pecho mecido, además del sebo destinados para el fuego, a fin de mecerlos como ofrenda delante de Yahvé; y serán porción perpetua para ti y para tus hijos contigo, según ha mandado Yahvé.”
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,
También acerca del macho cabrío del sacrificio por el pecado hizo Moisés diligente investigación y he aquí que había sido quemado. Entonces irritado contra Eleazar e Itamar, los hijos de Aarón que a este le habían quedado, dijo:
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.
“¿Por qué no comisteis en lugar sagrado la víctima del sacrificio por el pecado? Pues es cosa santísima, y (Dios) os la ha dado para llevar la iniquidad del pueblo, para hacer expiación por ellos ante Yahvé.
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.”
No habiendo sido llevada su sangre al interior del Santuario, debíais comerla sin falta en lugar sagrado, según os he ordenado.”
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?”
Respondió Aarón a Moisés: “Mira que ellos han presentado hoy su sacrificio por el pecado y su holocausto delante de Yahvé; mas si yo hoy, después de lo que me ha sucedido, hubiera comido la víctima expiatoria, ¿habría esto acaso sido grato a Yahvé?”
20 When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
Cuando Moisés oyó esto, se dio por satisfecho.
