Leviticus 21
1 Yahweh said to Moses: “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, 'No one among you shall make himself unclean for those who die among his people,
Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: Loquere ad sacerdotes filios Aaron, et dices ad eos: Ne contaminetur sacerdos in mortibus civium suorum,
2 except for his closest relatives—his mother, his father, his son, his daughter, his brother,
nisi tantum in consanguineis, ac propinquis, id est, super patre et matre, et filio, et filia, fratre quoque,
3 or his virgin sister who is dependent on him, since she has no husband—for her he may make himself unclean.
et sorore virgine quae non est nupta viro:
4 But he must not make himself unclean for other relatives and so defile himself.
sed nec in principe populi sui contaminabitur.
5 Priests must not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards, nor cut their bodies.
Non radent sacerdotes caput, nec barbam, neque in carnibus suis facient incisuras.
6 They must be holy to their God and not disgrace the name of their God, because the priests offer Yahweh's food offerings, the bread of their God. Therefore the priests must be holy.
Sancti erunt Deo suo, et non polluent nomen eius: incensum enim Domini, et panes Dei sui offerunt, et ideo sancti erunt.
7 They must not marry any woman who is a prostitute and who is defiled, and they must not marry a woman divorced from her husband, for they are separate for their God.
Scortum et vile prostibulum non ducent uxorem, nec eam, quae repudiata est a marito: quia consecrati sunt Deo suo,
8 You will set him apart, for he is the one who offers bread to your God. He must be holy to you, because I, Yahweh who makes you holy, am holy.
et panes propositionis offerunt. Sint ergo sancti, quia et ego sanctus sum, Dominus, qui sanctifico eos.
9 Any daughter of any priest who defiles herself by becoming a prostitute disgraces her father. She must be burned.
Sacerdotis filia si deprehensa fuerit in stupro, et violaverit nomen patris sui, flammis exuretur.
10 The one who is the high priest among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil has been poured, and who has been consecrated to wear the special garments of the high priest, must not wear his hair loose or tear his clothes.
Pontifex, id est, sacerdos maximus inter fratres suos, super cuius caput fusum est unctionis oleum, et cuius manus in sacerdotio consecratae sunt, vestitusque est sanctis vestibus, caput suum non discooperiet, vestimenta non scindet:
11 He must not go anywhere that a dead body is present and defile himself, even for his father or his mother.
et ad omnem mortuum non ingredietur omnino. super patre quoque suo, et matre non contaminabitur.
12 The high priest must not leave the sanctuary area of the tabernacle or profane the sanctuary of his God, because he has been consecrated as high priest by the anointing oil of his God. I am Yahweh.
Nec egredietur de sanctis, ne polluat Sanctuarium Domini, quia oleum sanctae unctionis Dei sui super eum est. ego Dominus.
13 The high priest must marry a virgin as his wife.
Virginem ducet uxorem:
14 He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or a woman who is a prostitute. He will not marry these kinds of women. He may only marry a virgin from his own people,
Viduam autem et repudiatam, et sordidam, atque meretricem non accipiet, sed puellam de populo suo:
15 so he will not defile his children among his people, for I am Yahweh, who makes him holy.'”
ne commisceat stirpem generis sui vulgo gentis suae: quia ego Dominus qui sanctifico eum.
16 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
17 “Speak to Aaron and tell him, 'Whoever of your descendants throughout their generations has a bodily defect, he must not approach to offer the food to his God.
Loquere ad Aaron: Homo de semine tuo per familias qui habuerit maculam, non offeret panes Deo suo,
18 Any man who has a bodily defect must not approach Yahweh, such as a blind man or a man who is unable to walk, one who is disfigured or deformed,
nec accedet ad ministerium eius: si caecus fuerit, si claudus, si vel parvo vel grandi, vel torto naso,
19 a man with a crippled hand or foot,
si fracto pede, si manu,
20 a man who has a hump in his back or is abnormally thin or short, or a man with a defect in his eyes, or with a disease, sore, scabs, or whose testicles have been crushed.
si gibbus, si lippus, si albuginem habens in oculo, si iugem scabiem, si impetiginem in corpore, vel herniosus.
21 No man among the descendants of Aaron the priest with a bodily defect may come near to perform the offerings made by fire for Yahweh. Such a man has a bodily defect; he must not come near to offer the bread of his God.
Omnis qui habuerit maculam de semine Aaron sacerdotis, non accedet offerre hostias Domino, nec panes Deo suo:
22 He may eat the food of his God, whether some of the most holy or some of the holy.
vescetur tamen panibus, qui offeruntur in Sanctuario,
23 However, he must not enter inside the curtain or come near the altar, because he has a bodily defect, so that he does not defile my holy place, for I am Yahweh, who makes them holy.'”
ita dumtaxat, ut intra velum non ingrediatur, nec accedat ad altare, qui maculam habet, et contaminare non debet Sanctuarium meum. Ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos.
24 So Moses spoke these words to Aaron, to his sons, and to all the people of Israel.
Locutus est ergo Moyses ad Aaron, et ad filios eius, et ad omnem Israel cuncta quae fuerant sibi imperata.
