Leviticus 21
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them,
Još reèe Gospod Mojsiju: kaži sveštenicima sinovima Aronovijem, i reci im: za mrtvacem da se ne skvrni ni jedan u narodu svojem,
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.
Osim za rodom svojim po krvi, za materom svojom ili za ocem svojim ili za sinom svojim ili za kæerju svojom ili za bratom svojim,
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].
Ili za roðenom sestrom svojom, djevojkom, koja nije imala muža; za njom se može oskvrniti.
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.
Ako je oženjen, da se ne oskvrni za ženom svojom u narodu svojem uèinivši se neèist.
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].
Da se ne naèine æelavi èupajuæi kosu s glave svoje i da ne briju brade svoje, niti se režu po tijelu svojem.
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.
Neka budu sveti Bogu svojemu, i neka ne skvrne imena Boga svojega, jer prinose žrtve ognjene Gospodnje, hljeb Boga svojega, zato neka su sveti.
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).
Neka se ne žene ženom kurvom ili silovanom; ni puštenicom neka se ne žene; jer su sveti Bogu svojemu.
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.
I tebi neka je svaki svet, jer prinosi hljeb Boga tvojega; svet neka ti je, jer sam ja svet, Gospod, koji vas posveæujem.
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.
A kæi sveštenièka koja se oskvrni kurvajuæi se, skvrni oca svojega, ognjem neka se spali.
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 sveštenik najviši izmeðu braæe svoje, kojemu se na glavu izlilo ulje pomazanja i koji je posveæen da se oblaèi u svete haljine, neka ne otkriva glave svoje, i haljina svojih neka ne razdire.
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.
I k mrtvacu nijednom neka ne ide, ni za ocem svojim ni za materom svojom da se ne oskvrni.
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].
I iz svetinje neka ne izlazi, da ne bi oskvrnio svetinju Boga svojega, jer je na njemu vijenac, ulje pomazanja Boga njegova; ja sam Gospod.
13 Women whom you priests marry must be virgins.
On neka se ženi djevojkom.
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.’”
Udovicom ni puštenicom ni silovanom ni kurvom da se ne ženi; nego djevojkom iz naroda svojega neka se oženi.
I neka ne skvrni sjemena svojega u narodu svojem, jer sam ja Gospod, koji ga posveæujem.
16 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Opet reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
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:
Kaži Aronu i reci: u koga bi iz sjemena tvojega od koljena do koljena bila mana na tijelu, onaj neka ne pristupa da prinosi hljeb Boga svojega.
18 No one who is blind or lame or deformed, or whose [face is] disfigured,
Jer niko na kome bi bila mana ne valja da pristupa, ni slijep, ni hrom, ni u koga bi bio koji ud preveæ mali ili preveæ veliki,
19 no man with a crippled foot or a crippled hand,
Ni u koga je slomljena noga ili ruka.
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.
Ni grbav, ni drljav, ni ko ima bionu na oku, ni šugav, ni lišajiv, ni prosut.
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.
U koga bi god iz sjemena Arona sveštenika bila kaka mana na tijelu, neka ne pristupa da prinosi žrtve ognjene Gospodu; mana je na njemu; da ne pristupa da prinosi hljeb Boga svojega.
22 Priests who have defects are permitted to eat the various kinds of holy food offered to me.
Ali hljeb Boga svojega od stvari presvetih i od stvari svetih neka jede;
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.'”
Ali za zavjes neka ne ulazi; k oltaru neka se ne približuje, jer je mana na njemu, pa neka ne skvrni svetinje moje, jer sam ja Gospod koji ih posveæujem.
24 So Moses/I told this to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israeli people.
I Mojsije kaza to Aronu i sinovima njegovijem i svijem sinovima Izrailjevim.
