Leviticus 22
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to greatly respect the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to me; by doing that you will respect me [MTY], Yahweh.
“Dile a Aarón y a sus hijos que trabajen con dedicación al tratar con las ofrendas sagradas que los israelitas me han ofrecido, para que no deshonren mi santo nombre. Yo soy el Señor.
3 “Tell them that for all future time, if any of their descendants comes near to the sacred offerings that the Israeli people dedicate to me while he is unfit to work for me, that person will no longer be allowed to work for me. I, Yahweh, [am commanding this].
“Diles: Estas reglas se aplican a todas las generaciones futuras. Si alguno de sus descendientes en estado inmundo se acerca a las ofrendas sagradas que los israelitas dedican a honrar al Señor, esa persona debe ser expulsada de mi presencia. Yo soy el Señor.
4 “If any descendant of Aaron has a contagious skin disease or a discharge from his sexual organs, he is not allowed to eat any of the sacred offerings until he is cured. He will also be unfit for his work if he touches anything which has become unacceptable to me because it has touched a corpse, or if he touches anyone who as an emission of semen,
“Si uno de los descendientes de Aarón tiene una enfermedad de la piel o una secreción, no se le permite comer las ofrendas sagradas hasta que esté limpio. Cualquiera que toque algo que se haya vuelto impuro por un cadáver o por un hombre que haya tenido una liberación de semen,
5 or if he touches anything that crawls on the ground, or if he touches any person who causes him to be unfit for his work.
o cualquiera que toque un animal o una persona impura, (cualquiera que sea la impureza),
6 Any priest who touches such things must bathe, and he must not touch anyone else until that evening.
cualquiera que toque algo así permanecerá impuro hasta la noche. No se le permite comer de las ofrendas sagradas a menos que se haya lavado con agua.
7 After the sun sets, he will be permitted to eat some of the sacred offerings that are for him to eat.
Al atardecer se limpiará, y entonces se le permitirá comer de las ofrendas sagradas porque le proporcionan su comida.
8 He must not eat anything that is found dead or that has been killed by wild animals, because if he did that, he would be unfit to work for me. I, Yahweh [am commanding those things].
No debe comer nada que haya muerto o haya sido matado por animales salvajes, porque eso lo haría impuro. Yo soy el Señor.
9 “The priests must obey my commandments in order that they will not become guilty and die as a result of (despising/not obeying) them.
Los sacerdotes deben hacer lo que yo les exija, para que no se hagan culpables y mueran por no haberlo hecho, tratando mis exigencias con desprecio. Yo soy el Señor que los hace santos.
10 “Anyone who is not a member of a priest’s family is not permitted to eat any of a sacred offering, and no one who is visiting the priest or whom the priest has hired is permitted to eat it.
“Cualquiera que no sea parte de la familia de un sacerdote no puede comer las sagradas ofrendas. Esto también se aplica al huésped de un sacerdote o a su trabajador asalariado.
11 But if a priest buys a slave, or if a slave is born in his house, that slave is permitted to eat such food.
Sin embargo, si un sacerdote usa su propio dinero para comprar un esclavo, o si un esclavo nace en la casa del sacerdote, entonces a ese esclavo se le permite comer su comida.
12 If a priest’s daughter marries a man who is not a priest, she no longer is permitted to eat the sacred food.
Si la hija del sacerdote se casa con un hombre que no es sacerdote, no se le permite comer las ofrendas sagradas.
13 But if a priest’s daughter who has no children becomes a widow or becomes divorced, if she returns to her father’s house to live there like she did when she was young, she may eat the same food that her father eats. But no other person is permitted to eat any of it.
Pero si la hija de un sacerdote sin hijos es viuda o divorciada y regresa a la casa de su padre, se le permite comer la comida de su padre como lo hacía cuando era niña. Pero nadie fuera de la familia del sacerdote puede comerla.
14 “If anyone who is not permitted to eat a sacred offering eats it without realizing that it is sacred, he must pay the priest for the offering, and pay him an extra one-fifth of its value.
“Cualquiera que coma una ofrenda sagrada por error debe pagar una compensación añadiendo un quinto a su valor, y dárselo todo al sacerdote.
15 When the priests bring offerings to me, the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to them, they must not treat those offerings as though they are not sacred
Los sacerdotes no deben hacer inmundas las ofrendas sagradas que los israelitas presentan al Señor
16 by allowing those who are not priests to eat any of those offerings. If they did that, they would become guilty and must make a payment. I am Yahweh, the one who causes those offerings to be sacred.”
permitiendo que el pueblo las coma y al hacerlo asuman el castigo por la culpa. Porque yo soy el Señor que las hace santas”.
17 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
18 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israeli people and tell them that I command this: ‘If any of you Israelis or foreigners who live in Israel brings to me an animal that will be completely burned [on the altar], either as a result of a solemn promise that you made to me or to be an offering that is given voluntarily,
“Dile a Aarón, a sus hijos y a todos los israelitas: Si tú o un extranjero que vive contigo quiere hacer un regalo como holocausto al Señor, ya sea para cumplir una promesa o como una ofrenda voluntaria, esto es lo que debes hacer.
19 it must be an animal that has no defects, in order that it will be accepted by me.
Si va a ser aceptado en tu nombre debes ofrecer un macho sin defectos de los rebaños de vacas, ovejas o cabras.
20 Do not bring any animals that have defects, because I will not accept them as an offering from you.
No presente nada que tenga un defecto porque no será aceptado en su nombre.
21 [Similarly], when someone brings from his cattle or sheep or goats an offering to maintain fellowship with me, either to fulfill a promise that he made to me or to be a voluntary offering, in order that I will accept it, it must have no defects [DOU] or blemishes.
“Si quieres presentar una ofrenda de paz al Señor de la manada o rebaño para cumplir una promesa o como una ofrenda de libre albedrío, para ser aceptable el animal debe ser perfecto, completamente sin defectos.
22 Do not offer to me animals that are blind or injured or maimed/crippled, or any animal that has warts or a festering sore [DOU].
No presente al Señor un animal que esté ciego, herido o dañado de alguna manera, o que tenga verrugas, llagas en la piel o costras. No coloques ningún animal que tenga esto en el altar como ofrenda de comida al Señor.
23 You may present to me to be a voluntary offering an ox or a sheep that is injured or stunted, but it will not be accepted to fulfill a promise made to me.
“Sin embargo, puedes presentar una ofrenda voluntaria de un toro o una oveja que tenga una pata demasiado larga o demasiado corta, pero no si se trata de un sacrificio para cumplir una promesa.
24 You must not offer to me animals whose testicles are bruised or crushed or torn or cut. You must not injure the testicles of any animal in your land,
No presente al Señor un animal con los testículos dañados accidental o deliberadamente. No se le permite sacrificar ninguno de estos animales dañados en su tierra.
25 and you must not accept such animals that are sold/given to you by a foreigner. You must not offer them to me as a sacrifice for me. Such animals will not be accepted by me, because they are deformed or have defects.’”
Tampoco se le permite aceptar tales animales de un extranjero para ser dañados y defectuosos”.
26 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
27 “When a calf or lamb or goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. After that, it will be acceptable as an offering to me that will be burned.
“Cuando nace un toro, una oveja o una cabra, debe permanecer con su madre durante siete días. Después de ocho días puede ser aceptado como una ofrenda de comida al Señor.
28 Do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its baby on the same day.
Sin embargo, no se debe matar un toro o una oveja y sus crías en el mismo día.
29 “Then you sacrifice an animal to thank [me for what I have done], sacrifice it in a way that is acceptable to me.
Cuando presente una ofrenda de agradecimiento al Señor, asegúrese de hacerlo de manera que sea aceptada en su nombre.
30 The meat must be eaten on that day; do not leave any of it until the next morning. I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding this].
Debe ser comida el mismo día. No dejes nada de eso hasta la mañana. Yo soy el Señor.
31 “Obey all my commands [DOU]. I, Yahweh, [am commanding them];
Guarda mis reglas y ponlas en práctica. Yo soy el Señor.
32 do not dishonor me [MTY] [by disobeying them]. You Israeli people must acknowledge that I, Yahweh, am holy, and I am the one who causes you to be holy.
No deshonres mi santo nombre. Seré santo ante tus ojos. Yo soy el Señor que tesantifica.
33 And I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order to show that that I, Yahweh, am [and will always be] your God.”
Soy el que te sacó de Egipto para ser tu Dios. Yo soy el Señor”.
