Leviticus 21

1 And the Lord seide to Moyses, Speke thou to preestis, the sones of Aaron, and thou schalt seie to hem, A preest be not defoulid in the deed men of hise citeseyns,

١ وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «كَلِّمِ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ بَنِي هَارُونَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: لَا يَتَنَجَّسْ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ لِمَيْتٍ فِي قَوْمِهِ،

2 no but oneli in kynesmen and niy of blood, that is, on fadir and modir, and sone and douyter,

٢ إِلَّا لِأَقْرِبَائِهِ ٱلْأَقْرَبِ إِلَيْهِ: أُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ وَٱبْنِهِ وَٱبْنَتِهِ وَأَخِيهِ

3 and brother and sister, virgyn, which is not weddid to man;

٣ وَأُخْتِهِ ٱلْعَذْرَاءِ ٱلْقَرِيبَةِ إِلَيْهِ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَصِرْ لِرَجُلٍ. لِأَجْلِهَا يَتَنَجَّسُ.

4 but nether he schal be defoulid in the prince of his puple.

٤ كَزَوْجٍ لَا يَتَنَجَّسْ بِأَهْلِهِ لِتَدْنِيسِهِ.

5 Preestis schulen not schaue the heed, nether beerd, nether thei schulen make keruyngis in her fleischis; thei schulen be hooli to her God,

٥ لَا يَجْعَلُوا قَرْعَةً فِي رُؤُوسِهِمْ، وَلَا يَحْلِقُوا عَوَارِضَ لِحَاهُمْ، وَلَا يَجْرَحُوا جِرَاحَةً فِي أَجْسَادِهِمْ.

6 and thei schulen not defoule his name; for thei offren encense of the Lord, and the looues of her God, and therfore thei schulen be hooli.

٦ مُقَدَّسِينَ يَكُونُونَ لِإِلَهِهِمْ، وَلَا يُدَنِّسُونَ ٱسْمَ إِلَهِهِمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ يُقَرِّبُونَ وَقَائِدَ ٱلرَّبِّ طَعَامَ إِلَهِهِمْ، فَيَكُونُونَ قُدْسًا.

7 A preest schal not wedde a wijf a corrupt womman, and a `foul hoore, nether he schal wedde `hir that is forsakun of the hosebonde, for he is halewid to his God,

٧ اِمْرَأَةً زَانِيَةً أَوْ مُدَنَّسَةً لَا يَأْخُذُوا، وَلَا يَأْخُذُوا ٱمْرَأَةً مُطَلَّقَةً مِنْ زَوْجِهَا. لِأَنَّهُ مُقَدَّسٌ لِإِلَهِهِ.

8 and offrith the looues of settyng forth; therfor be he hooly, for `Y am the hooli Lord that halewith you.

٨ فَتَحْسِبُهُ مُقَدَّسًا لِأَنَّهُ يُقَرِّبُ خُبْزَ إِلَهِكَ. مُقَدَّسًا يَكُونُ عِنْدَكَ لِأَنِّي قُدُّوسٌ أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُكُمْ.

9 If the `doutir of a preest is takun in defoulyng of virgynite, and defoulith the name of hir fadir, sche schal be brent in flawmes.

٩ وَإِذَا تَدَنَّسَتِ ٱبْنَةُ كَاهِنٍ بِٱلزِّنَى فَقَدْ دَنَّسَتْ أَبَاهَا. بِٱلنَّارِ تُحْرَقُ.

10 The bischop, that is the moost preest among hise britheren, on whose heed the oile of anoyntyng is sched, and whose hondis ben sacrid in preesthod, and he is clothid in hooli clothis, schal not diskyuere his heed, he schal not tere hise clothis,

١٠ «وَٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْأَعْظَمُ بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِ ٱلَّذِي صُبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ دُهْنُ ٱلْمَسْحَةِ، وَمُلِئَتْ يَدُهُ لِيَلْبَسَ ٱلثِّيَابَ، لَا يَكْشِفُ رَأْسَهُ، وَلَا يَشُقُّ ثِيَابَهُ،

11 and outirli he schal not entre to ony deed man; and he schal not be defoulid on his fadir and modir,

١١ وَلَا يَأْتِي إِلَى نَفْسٍ مَيْتَةٍ، وَلَا يَتَنَجَّسُ لِأَبِيهِ أَوْ أُمِّهِ،

12 nether he schal go out of hooli thingis, lest he defoule the seyntuarie of the Lord, for the oile of hooli anoyntyng of his God is on hym; Y am the Lord.

١٢ وَلَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلْمَقْدِسِ لِئَلَّا يُدَنِّسَ مَقْدِسَ إِلَهِهِ، لِأَنَّ إِكْلِيلَ دُهْنِ مَسْحَةِ إِلَهِهِ عَلَيْهِ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

13 He schal wedde a wijf virgyn;

١٣ هَذَا يَأْخُذُ ٱمْرَأَةً عَذْرَاءَ.

14 he schal not take a widewe, and forsakun, and a foul womman, and hoore, but a damesele of his puple;

١٤ أَمَّا ٱلْأَرْمَلَةُ وَٱلْمُطَلَّقَةُ وَٱلْمُدَنَّسَةُ وَٱلزَّانِيَةُ فَمِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ لَا يَأْخُذُ، بَلْ يَتَّخِذُ عَذْرَاءَ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ ٱمْرَأَةً.

15 medle he not the generacioun of his kyn to the comyn puple of his folk, for Y am the Lord, that `halewe hym.

١٥ وَلَا يُدَنِّسُ زَرْعَهُ بَيْنَ شَعْبِهِ لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُهُ».

16 And the Lord spak to Moyses,

١٦ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

17 and seide, Speke thou to Aaron; a man of thi seed, bi meynes, that hath a wem, schal not offre breed to his God,

١٧ «كَلِّمْ هَارُونَ قَائِلًا: إِذَا كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ نَسْلِكَ فِي أَجْيَالِهِمْ فِيهِ عَيْبٌ فَلَا يَتَقَدَّمْ لِيُقَرِّبَ خُبْزَ إِلَهِهِ.

18 nethir schal neiy to his seruyce;

١٨ لِأَنَّ كُلَّ رَجُلٍ فِيهِ عَيْبٌ لَا يَتَقَدَّمْ. لَا رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى وَلَا أَعْرَجُ، وَلَا أَفْطَسُ وَلَا زَوَائِدِيٌّ،

19 if he is blind; if he is crokid; if he is ether of litil, ether of greet, and wrong nose; if he is `of brokun foot, ethir hond;

١٩ وَلَا رَجُلٌ فِيهِ كَسْرُ رِجْلٍ أَوْ كَسْرُ يَدٍ،

20 if he hath a botche; ether if he is blereiyed; if he hath whijt colour in the iye, that lettith the siyt; if he hath contynuel scabbe; if he hath a drye scabbe in the bodi; ethir `is brokun `in the pryuy membris.

٢٠ وَلَا أَحْدَبُ وَلَا أَكْشَمُ، وَلَا مَنْ فِي عَيْنِهِ بَيَاضٌ، وَلَا أَجْرَبُ وَلَا أَكْلَفُ، وَلَا مَرْضُوضُ ٱلْخُصَى.

21 Ech man of the seed of Aaron preest, which man hath a wem, schal not neiye to offre sacrifices to the Lord, nether `to offre looues to his God;

٢١ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ فِيهِ عَيْبٌ مِنْ نَسْلِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ لَا يَتَقَدَّمْ لِيُقَرِّبَ وَقَائِدَ ٱلرَّبِّ. فِيهِ عَيْبٌ لَا يَتَقَدَّمْ لِيُقَرِّبَ خُبْزَ إِلَهِهِ.

22 netheles he schal ete the looues that ben offrid in the seyntuarie,

٢٢ خُبْزَ إِلَهِهِ مِنْ قُدْسِ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ وَمِنَ ٱلْقُدْسِ يَأْكُلُ.

23 so oneli that he entre not with ynne the veil; he schal not neiye to the auter, for he hath a wem, and he schal not defoule my seyntuarie; Y am the Lord that halewe hem.

٢٣ لَكِنْ إِلَى ٱلْحِجَابِ لَا يَأْتِي، وَإِلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ لَا يَقْتَرِبُ، لِأَنَّ فِيهِ عَيْبًا، لِئَلَّا يُدَنِّسَ مَقْدِسِي، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُهُمْ».

24 Therfor Moises spak to Aaron, and to hise sones, and to al Israel, alle thingis that weren comaundid to hym.

٢٤ فَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى هَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ وَكُلَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.
