Oihanakahuna 21
1 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:
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron’s sons, the priests, and tell them that a priest is not to defile himself for a dead person among his people,
2 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,
except for his immediate family—his mother, father, son, daughter, or brother,
3 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.
or his unmarried sister who is near to him, since she has no husband.
4 Aole e hoohaumia oia ia ia iho, he haku iwaena o kona poe kanaka, e hoino ia ia iho.
He is not to defile himself for those related to him by marriage, and so profane himself.
5 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.
Priests must not make bald spots on their heads, shave off the edges of their beards, or make cuts in their bodies.
6 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.
They must be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God. Because they present to the LORD the offerings made by fire, the food of their God, they must be holy.
7 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.
A priest must not marry a woman defiled by prostitution or divorced by her husband, for the priest is holy to his God.
8 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.
You are to regard him as holy, since he presents the food of your God. He shall be holy to you, because I the LORD am holy—I who set you apart.
9 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.
If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by prostituting herself, she profanes her father; she must be burned in the fire.
10 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;
The priest who is highest among his brothers, who has had the anointing oil poured on his head and has been ordained to wear the priestly garments, must not let his hair hang loose or tear his garments.
11 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.
He must not go near any dead body; he must not defile himself, even for his father or mother.
12 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.
He must not leave or desecrate the sanctuary of his God, for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is on him. I am the LORD.
13 E mare no hoi oia i ka wahine i kona puupaa ana.
The woman he marries must be a virgin.
14 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.
He is not to marry a widow, a divorced woman, or one defiled by prostitution. He is to marry a virgin from his own people,
15 Aole hoi oia e hoohaumia i kana keiki iwaena o kona poe kanaka; no ka mea, ke hoano nei au o Iehova ia ia.
so that he does not defile his offspring among his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.”
16 Olelo mai la hoi o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
17 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:
“Say to Aaron, ‘For the generations to come, none of your descendants who has a physical defect may approach to offer the food of his God.
18 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,
No man who has any defect may approach—no man who is blind, lame, disfigured, or deformed;
19 A o ke kanaka ua hai kona wawae, a ua hai kona lima paha,
no man who has a broken foot or hand,
20 A he kuapuu, a he aa, a he kina, ma kona maka, a he puupuu, a he kakio, a he hua pepeia;
or who is a hunchback or dwarf, or who has an eye defect, a festering rash, scabs, or a crushed testicle.
21 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.
No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall approach to present the offerings made by fire to the LORD. Since he has a defect, he is not to come near to offer the food of his God.
22 O ka berena a kona Akua, o ka mea hoano loa, a me ka mea hoano, oia kana e ai ai.
He may eat the most holy food of his God as well as the holy food,
23 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.
but because he has a defect, he must not go near the veil or approach the altar, so as not to desecrate My sanctuaries. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
24 A hai ae la o Mose ia Aarona, a i kana mau keiki, a i na mamo a pau a Iseraela.
Moses told this to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites.
