< Leviticus 21 >
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them,
OLELO mai la hoi o Iehova ia Mose, E olelo aku i na kahuna, i na keiki a Aarona, a e i aku ia lakou, Aohe kanaka e hoohaumiaia no ka make iwaena o kona poe kanaka:
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.
Aka no kona io iho, no ka mea kokoke mai ia ia, no kona makuwahine, a me kona makuakane a me kana keiki, a me kana kaikamahine, a me kona hoahanaukane,
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].
A me kona kaikuwahine, he puupaa, i kokoke mai ia ia, aole i loaa la ia ke kane, e hiki no ke hoohaumiaia oia nona.
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.
Aole e hoohaumia oia ia ia iho, he haku iwaena o kona poe kanaka, e hoino ia ia iho.
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].
Aole lakou e hooohule i ko lakou mau poo, aole hoi e kahi i na kihi o ko lakou umiumi, aole hoi e okioki i ko lakou io iho.
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.
E hoano auanei lakou i ko lakou Akua, aole hoi e hoohaumia i ka inoa o ko lakou Akua; no ka mea, o na mohai o Iehova i kaumahaia ma ke ahi, a me ka berena ua ko lakou Akua, oia ka lakou i kaumaha ai, nolaila, e pono ko hoano lakou.
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).
Aole lakou e lawe i ka wahine hookamakama, a he haumia paha; aole hoi lakou e lawe i ka wahine i hookaawaleia'e mai kana kane ae; no ka mea, he hoano oia i kona Akua.
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.
Nolaila e hoano oe ia ia, no ka mea, o ka berena na kou Akua kana i kaumaha'i; e hoano auanei oia ia oe; no ka mea, he hoano no wau o Iehova kou Akua nana oukou i hoano.
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.
O ke kaikamahine a ke kahuna pule, ina e hoohaumia oia ia ia iho i ka moe kolohe, ua hoohaumia oia i kona makuakane; e puhiia oia i ke ahi.
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].
A o ke kahuna nui iwaena o kona poe hoahanau, maluna iho o kona poo i nininiia ka aila poni, a ua hoolaaia e komo i ke kapa, aole hoi e uhae i kona mau kapa;
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.
Aole hoi e komo ae i ka mea i make, aole hoi no kona makuakane, a no kona makuwahine paha, e hoohaumia ai oia ia ia iho.
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].
Aole hoi oia e puka ae iwaho o ke keenakapu, aole hoi e hoohaumia i ke keenakapu o kona Akua; no ka mea, maluna ona ka lei o ka aila poni o kona Akua: owau no Iehova.
13 Women whom you priests marry must be virgins.
E mare no hoi oia i ka wahine i kona puupaa ana.
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.’”
O ka wahine kane make, a o ka wahine hemo, a o ka haumia, o ka hookamakama, oia mau mea kaua e lawe ole ai; aka e lawe oia i ka wahine puupaa o kona poe kanaka i wahine.
Aole hoi oia e hoohaumia i kana keiki iwaena o kona poe kanaka; no ka mea, ke hoano nei au o Iehova ia ia.
16 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Olelo mai la hoi o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
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:
E olelo aku oe ia Aarona, penei, O ka mea o kau mau keiki i ko lakou hanauna, he kina kona, aole ia e hookokoke e kaumaha i ka berena a kona Akua:
18 No one who is blind or lame or deformed, or whose [face is] disfigured,
No ka mea, o kela kanaka keia kanaka he kina kona, aole ia e hookokoke mai: o ke kanaka makapo, o ka oona, o ka ihu pepe, a he lala oi aku kona,
19 no man with a crippled foot or a crippled hand,
A o ke kanaka ua hai kona wawae, a ua hai kona lima paha,
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.
A he kuapuu, a he aa, a he kina, ma kona maka, a he puupuu, a he kakio, a he hua pepeia;
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.
O kela kanaka keia kanaka o na keiki a Aarona he kina kona, aole ia e hookokoke mai e kaumaha i na mohai no Iehova i kaumahaia ma ke ahi; he kina kona, aole ia e hele kokoke mai e kaumaha i ka berena a kona Akua.
22 Priests who have defects are permitted to eat the various kinds of holy food offered to me.
O ka berena a kona Akua, o ka mea hoano loa, a me ka mea hoano, oia kana e ai ai.
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.'”
Aole hoi ia o komo i ka paku, aole hoi e hookokoke i ke kuahu, no kona kina ana; o hoohaumia oia i kuu mau keenakapu: no ka mea, na'u na Iehova lakou e hoano nei.
24 So Moses/I told this to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israeli people.
A hai ae la o Mose ia Aarona, a i kana mau keiki, a i na mamo a pau a Iseraela.
