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, cada uno tomó su incensario, y después de prender fuego en ellos y echar incienso sobre él, ofrecieron en la Presencia de Yavé fuego extraño que Él nunca les mandó.
2 So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.
Entonces de la Presencia de Yavé salió fuego que los quemó y murieron en la Presencia de Yavé.
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.
Entonces Moisés dijo a Aarón: Esto es lo que Yavé habló: Entre los que se acercan a Mí seré santificado, y en la presencia de todo el pueblo seré reverenciado. Aarón guardó silencio.
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.”
Moisés llamó a Misael y a Elzafán, hijos de Uziel, tío de Aarón, y les dijo: Acérquense y saquen a sus hermanos del Santuario, y llévenlos fuera del campamento.
5 So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].
Ellos se acercaron y los sacaron con sus túnicas y los llevaron fuera del campamento, como dijo Moisés.
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.
Entonces Moisés dijo a Aarón y a sus hijos Eleazar e Itamar: No descubran sus cabezas ni rasguen sus ropas para que Él no se aíre contra toda la congregación. Pero que sus hermanos, toda la casa de Israel, llore por el incendio que Yavé hizo.
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.
No salgan por la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión para que no mueran, por cuanto el aceite de la unción de Yavé está sobre ustedes. Y ellos hicieron conforme a la palabra de Moisés.
8 Then Yahweh said to Aaron,
Yavé habló a Aarón:
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 tú y tus hijos entren en el Tabernáculo de Reunión, no beberán vino ni licor para que no mueran. Es estatuto perpetuo para sus generaciones,
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.
para que distingan entre lo santo y lo profano, 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 para que enseñen a los hijos de Israel todos los Estatutos que Yavé les dio 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.
Entonces Moisés dijo a Aarón y a sus hijos que quedaron, Eleazar e Itamar: Tomen la ofrenda vegetal sobrante de los sacrificios quemados a Yavé y cómanla sin levadura junto al altar. 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 comerán en un lugar santo, porque esto es para ti y para tus hijos de los sacrificios quemados a Yavé, pues así me fue 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].
Tú y tus hijos e hijas comerán el pecho que se ofrece como ofrenda mecida y el muslo que se ofrece como ofrenda alzada. Los comerán en un lugar limpio, pues pertenecen a ti y a tus hijos, otorgados de los sacrificios de paz de los hijos de Israel.
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.”
Con las ofrendas de las grasas que se quemarán, tomarán el muslo que será alzado y el pecho que será ofrecido como ofrenda mecida en la Presencia de Yavé. Será un estatuto perpetuo para ti y para tus hijos, como Yavé lo ordenó.
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,
Moisés pidió con insistencia el macho cabrío del sacrificio por el pecado, y ciertamente ya había sido quemado. Entonces estalló en ira contra Eleazar e Itamar, los hijos que le quedaban a Aarón, y 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 comieron el sacrificio por el pecado en lugar sagrado? Es cosa santísima, y les fue dada para que carguen la iniquidad de la congregación, para hacer sacrificio que apacigua por ellos delante de Yavé.
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.”
Miren, su sangre no fue llevada aún al interior del Santuario, y ustedes debían comer el sacrificio en el Lugar Santo, como les mandé.
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?”
Entonces Aarón respondió a Moisés: Mira, hoy ofrecieron su sacrificio que apacigua por el pecado y su holocausto delante de Yavé. Pero cosas como éstas me sucedieron a mí. Si yo hubiera comido hoy del sacrificio que apacigua, ¿sería acepto a los ojos de Yavé?
20 When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
Cuando Moisés oyó esto le pareció bien.
