< 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.
Y los hijos de Aarón, Nadab y Abiú, tomaron cada uno su incensario, y pusieron fuego en ellos, sobre el cual pusieron perfume, y ofrecieron delante del SEÑOR 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.
Y salió un fuego de delante del SEÑOR que los quemó, y murieron delante del SEÑOR.
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 dijo Moisés a Aarón: Esto es lo que habló el SEÑOR, diciendo: En mis allegados me santificaré, y en presencia de todo el pueblo seré glorificado. Y Aarón calló.
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.”
Y llamó Moisés a Misael, y a Elzafán, hijos de Uziel, tío de Aarón, y les dijo; acercaos y sacad a vuestros hermanos de delante del santuario fuera del campamento.
5 So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].
Y ellos se acercaron, y los sacaron con sus túnicas 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 Eleazar y a Itamar, sus hijos: No descubráis vuestras cabezas, ni rasguéis vuestros vestidos, para que no muráis, ni se levante la ira sobre toda la congregación; pero vuestros hermanos, toda la Casa de Israel, lamentarán el incendio que el SEÑOR ha hecho.
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.
Ni saldréis de la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, porque moriréis; por cuanto el aceite de la unción del SEÑOR está sobre vosotros. Y ellos hicieron conforme al dicho de Moisés.
8 Then Yahweh said to Aaron,
Y el SEÑOR habló 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.
Tú, y tus hijos contigo, no beberéis vino ni sidra, cuando hubiereis de entrar en el tabernáculo del testimonio, para que no muráis; será estatuto perpetuo por vuestras 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.
y esto para poder discernir entre lo santo y lo profano, y entre lo inmundo y lo limpio;
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 enseñar a los hijos de Israel todos los estatutos que el SEÑOR les ha dicho por mano 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.
Y Moisés dijo a Aarón, y a Eleazar y a Itamar, sus hijos que habían quedado: Tomad el presente que queda de las ofrendas encendidas al SEÑOR, y comedlo sin levadura junto al altar, porque 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.
Habéis, pues, de comerlo en el lugar santo; porque esto será fuero para ti, y fuero para tus hijos, de las ofrendas encendidas al SEÑOR, pues que así me ha sido mandado.
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 asimismo en lugar limpio, tú y tus hijos y tus hijas contigo, el pecho de la mecida, y la espaldilla elevada, porque por fuero para ti, y fuero para tus hijos, son dados de los sacrificios de la 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 los sebos que se han de encender, traerán la espaldilla que se ha de elevar, y el pecho que será mecido, para que lo mezas por ofrenda de mecedura delante del SEÑOR; y será por fuero perpetuo tuyo, y de tus hijos contigo, como el SEÑOR lo ha mandado.
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,
Y Moisés demandó el macho cabrío de la expiación, y se halló que era quemado; y se enojó contra Eleazar e Itamar, los hijos de Aarón que habían quedado, diciendo:
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 la expiación en el lugar santo? Porque es santísimo, y la dio él a vosotros para llevar la iniquidad de la congregación, para que sean reconciliados delante del SEÑOR.
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.”
Veis que su sangre no fue metida en el santuario de adentro; habíais de comerla en el lugar santo, como yo 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?”
Y respondió Aarón a Moisés: He aquí hoy han ofrecido su expiación y su holocausto delante del SEÑOR; con todo eso me han acontecido estas cosas; pues si comiera yo hoy de la expiación, ¿Hubiera sido acepto al SEÑOR?
20 When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
Y Moisés oyó esto, y lo aceptó.
