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 Nadab y Abiú, los hijos de Aarón, tomaron su incensario y pusieron fuego e incienso en ellos, quemando fuego extraño ante el Señor, el cual no les había dado órdenes de hacer.
2 So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.
Y salió fuego de delante de él Señor, quemándolos, y causando su destrucción 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 Moisés dijo a Aarón: Esto es lo que dijo el Señor: Seré santo a los ojos de todos los que se acercan a mí, y seré honrado ante todo el pueblo. Y Aarón no dijo nada.
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 Moisés mandó llamar a Misael y a Elzafán, los hijos de Uziel, el hermano del padre de Aarón, y les dijo: Acércate y aleja a tus hermanos de delante del lugar santo, fuera del campamento de la tienda.
5 So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].
Entonces, vinieron y los llevaron, con sus túnicas, fuera del campamento de la tienda, como Moisés había dicho.
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 e Itamar, sus hijos: No descubran su pelo, ni rasguen sus vestidos; para que la muerte no los alcance, y su ira venga sobre todo el pueblo; pero que haya llanto entre sus hermanos y toda la casa de Israel por la ira que encendía al Señor.
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.
Y no salgan por la puerta de la tienda de reunión, o la muerte vendrá a ustedes; porque el aceite santo de él Señor está sobre ustedes. E hicieron lo que Moisés dijo.
8 Then Yahweh said to Aaron,
Y él Señor dijo 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.
No beberán vino ni bebida fermentada, ni tu ni tus hijos, cuando vayas a la Tienda de la reunión, para que no sea la causa de tu muerte; Esta es un orden para siempre a través de todas 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 puedan distinguir entre lo santo y lo común, 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.”
Enseña a los hijos de Israel todas las leyes que el Señor 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.
Entonces Moisés dijo a Aarón y a Eleazar e Itamar, sus hijos que aún vivían: toma el resto de la ofrenda de cereales de las ofrendas del Señor, y tómala para tu comida, sin levadura, al lado del altar, porque es santísimo.
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.
Es para tu comida; la comerán en un lugar consagrado, porque es tu derecho y el derecho de tus hijos, de las ofrendas que se queman en honor del Señor; porque 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].
Y el pecho que se mece y la pierna que se levanta en alto, debes tomar tu alimento en un lugar limpio; tú y tus hijos y tus hijas contigo, porque te son dados como derecho de ti y por derecho de tus hijos, de las ofrendas 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.”
Dejen que tomen el pecho que se menea y la pierna que se levanta en alto, con la grasa de la ofrenda quemada, para ser meneada para una ofrenda mecida ante el Señor; y esto será para ti y para tus hijos contigo, para siempre el derecho que el Señor ha dado.
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 estaba buscando la cabra de la ofrenda por el pecado, pero fue quemada; y se enojó con Eleazar e Itamar, los hijos de Aarón, que aún vivían, 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 comiste de la ofrenda por el pecado en el lugar santo? Porque es santísimo y él te lo ha dado, para que el pecado de la gente pueda ser puesto sobre ustedes, para quitar su pecado ante el 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.”
Mira, su sangre no fue llevada al lugar santo: ciertamente ustedes debieron haber comido en el lugar santo, como di las órdenes.
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 Aarón dijo a Moisés: Tú has visto que hoy han hecho su ofrenda por el pecado y su ofrenda quemada delante del Señor, y cosas como estas han venido sobre mí. Si hubiera tomado la ofrenda por el pecado como alimento hoy, ¿habría sido agradable al Señor?
20 When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
Y después de escuchar esto, Moisés ya no estaba enojado.
