Leviticus 21
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them,
上主對梅瑟說：」你當訓示亞郎的兒子司祭說：司祭不應為族人的屍體陷於不潔，
2 ‘You priests must not cause yourselves to become unfit to do my work by [touching] corpses. Priests are permitted to touch only the corpses of close relatives, such as the priest’s mother or father or his son or daughter or his brother.
除非為骨肉至親，如母親，父親，兒女，兄弟；
3 Priests are also permitted to touch the corpse of a sister if she is not married, because she has no husband [to bury her body].
未出嫁而仍為處女的姊妹，為她的屍體，司祭可陷於不潔；
4 Priests must not cause themselves to become unfit to do my work [DOU] by [touching corpses of] people who were married to one of their close relatives.
但司祭不可因身為丈夫，而為姻親的屍身，陷於不潔，褻瀆己身。
5 You priests must not shave your heads or shave the edges of your beards or cut your bodies [to show that you are mourning for someone who has died].
司祭的頭髮不可剃光，鬍鬚的邊緣，不可修剪，也不可紋身割傷。
6 You must act in ways that I, your God, consider to be holy, and not disgrace my name/reputation. You are the ones who present to me the offerings that are burned. [It is as though] those offerings are food for me, your God; so you must act in ways that are holy.
他們對天主應是聖的，不可褻瀆天主的名號，因為是他們奉獻上主的火祭，作為天主的供物，所以應是聖的。
7 You priests must not marry women who have been prostitutes or who have been divorced from their husbands, because you priests are (set apart for me/holy).
司祭不可娶妓女和受玷汙的女人為妻，也不可娶為丈夫離棄的女人，因為他是祝聖於天主的人。
8 You must consider that you are holy, because you offer food to me, your God. Consider yourselves to be holy because I, Yahweh, [the one who caused you to be priests and] the one who enables you to be holy, am holy.
逤所以你應以他為聖，因為他把供物奉獻給你的天主，他對於你應是聖的，因為使你們成聖的我上主，是聖的。
9 If a priest’s daughter disgraces herself by becoming a prostitute, she disgraces her father; and she must be killed by being burned in a fire.
若司祭的女兒賣淫褻瀆自己，她是褻瀆自己的父親，應用火燒死。[大司祭的聖潔]
10 The Supreme Priest is the one among his relatives who has been [appointed for that work] by having his head anointed with olive oil. He is also the one who has been appointed to wear the special garments that priests wear. He must not allow the hair on his [head] to remain uncombed, and he must not tear his clothes [when he is mourning for someone].
兄弟中身分最高的司祭，頭上既倒過聖油，又被祝聖穿了祭衣，不可披頭散髮，不可撕裂自己的衣服。
11 He must not enter some place where there is a corpse. He must not do that and cause himself to become unfit for his work, even if it is his father or his mother who has died.
不可走近死人的屍體，也不可為父親或母親的屍體陷於不潔。
12 He must not leave the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because he would cause himself to become unfit for his work and would also defile/desecrate the Sacred Tent. He must not leave the Sacred Tent [at that time], because by being anointed with olive oil he has been (appointed/set apart) to serve his God [in the Sacred Tent]. I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding this].
也不可走出聖所，免得褻瀆天主的聖所，因為在他頭上有天主傅油的神印：我是上主。
13 Women whom you priests marry must be virgins.
他應娶處女為妻，
14 You priests must not marry widows or prostitutes or divorced women, because if you did that, [if you later have] sons, they would not be acceptable to be priests among your people. You must marry only virgins from among your own people. I am Yahweh, who sets priests apart to be holy.’”
寡婦，棄婦或受玷污的妓女，這樣的女人，決不可娶；只可娶本族中的處女為妻，
以免褻瀆本族的後裔，因為那使他成聖的是我，上主。[作司祭的阻礙]
16 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
上主訓示梅瑟：」
17 “Say this to Aaron: 'For all future time, none of your descendants who has any defects [on his body] will be allowed to come near [the altar] to offer [sacrifices to me which will be like] [MET] my food:
你告訴亞郎說：世世代代你的後裔中，凡身上有缺陷的，不得前去向天主奉獻供物；
18 No one who is blind or lame or deformed, or whose [face is] disfigured,
凡身上有缺陷的，不准前去：不論是眼瞎，腳跛，殘廢，畸形的，
19 no man with a crippled foot or a crippled hand,
或是斷手斷腳的，
20 no man who is a hunchback or a dwarf, no man whose eyes are defective, no man who has a skin disease [DOU] or whose testicles have been damaged is allowed to brings sacrifices.
或是駝背，矮小，眼生白翳，身上有痲疹或癬疥，或是睪丸破碎的人。
21 No descendant of Aaron, the [first Supreme] Priest, who has any defect is allowed to come to the altar to offer to me, his God, sacrifices that will be burned.
亞郎司祭的後裔中，凡身上有缺陷的，不得去奉獻上主的火祭；他身上既有缺陷，就不應給天主奉獻供物。
22 Priests who have defects are permitted to eat the various kinds of holy food offered to me.
天主的供物，不論是至聖的或聖的，他都可以吃；
23 But because of their defects, they must not go near the curtain [in the Sacred Tent] or near the altar, because if they did that, they would desecrate my Sacred Tent. I am Yahweh, the one who sets those places apart as being holy.'”
卻不可進入帳慢後，或走近祭壇前，因為他身上有缺陷，免得他褻瀆我的聖所，因為使他們成聖的是我，上主。「
24 So Moses/I told this to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israeli people.
梅瑟就這樣訓示了亞郎和他的兒子，以及全體以色列子民。
