Levitico 21
1 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises: “Makisaritaka kadagiti papadi, dagiti annak ni Aaron ket ibagam kadakuada, “Awan ti siasinoman kadakayo ti rumbeng a mangrugit iti bagina gapu kadagiti natay manipud kadagiti tattaona,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them,
2 malaksid iti asideg a kabagianna—para iti ina ken amana, para iti anakna a lalaki ken anakna a babai, wenno para iti kabsatna a lalaki
‘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.
3 wenno para iti birhen a kabsatna a babai nga adda iti balayna ken awan pay ti asawana. Mabalinna a rugitan ti bagina para kenkuana.
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].
4 Ngem masapul a saanna a rugitan ti bagina para kadagiti sabali a kakabagianna, tapno marugitan ti bagina.
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.
5 Masapul a saan a kuskosan dagiti padi ti uloda wenno kuskusan ti igid dagiti barbasda, kasta met a saanda a sugaten dagiti bag- bagida.
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].
6 Masapul a maisinada para iti Diosda, ken saanda nga ibabain ti nagan ti Diosda, gapu ta idaton dagiti padi dagiti daton kenni Yahweh babaen iti apuy, ti “taraon” ti Diosda. Ngarud, masapul a maisinada.
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.
7 Masapul a saanda a mangasawa iti siasinoman a balangkantis a babai, ken narugit, ken masapul a saanda a mangasawa iti babai a nakisina iti asawana, gapu ta naisinada para iti Diosda.
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).
8 Masapul nga idatonyo isuna ta idatonna ti “taraon” manipud iti Diosyo. Masapul a nasantoan isuna iti imatangyo, gapu ta Siak, a ni Yahweh, a nangilasin kadakayo para kaniak, ket nasantoanak met.
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.
9 Siasinoman nga anak a babai ti siasinoman a padi a mangrugit iti bagina babaen iti panagbalinna a balangkantis ket ibabainna ti amana. Masapul a mapuoran isuna.
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.
10 Isuna a kangatoan a padi kadagiti kakabsatna a lallaki, nga ti ulona ket isu ti nakaibukbokan ti pammulot a lana, ken nakonsagraran a mangikawes iti naisangsangayan a pagan-anay ti kangatoan a padi, ket masapul a saanna nga iwakray ti buokna ken pigisen ti badona.
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].
11 Masapul a saan a mapan isuna iti sadinoman nga ayan ti natay ket rugitanna ti bagina, uray no ti amana wenno ti inana ti natay.
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.
12 Masapul a saan a panawan ti kangatoan a padi ti nasantoan a disso iti tabernakulo wenno saanna a raemen ti santuario ti Diosna, gapu ta nakonsagraran isuna a kas kangatoan a padi babaen iti pammulot a lana ti Diosna. Siak ni Yahweh.
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].
13 Ti kangatoan a padi ket masapul a mangasawa ti maysa a birhen.
Women whom you priests marry must be virgins.
14 Masapul a saan isuna a mangasawa iti balo, wenno babai a nakisina iti asawana, wenno balangkantis a babai. Masapul a saanna nga asawaen dagiti kakastoy a kita dagiti babai. Mabalinna laeng ti mangasawa iti maysa a birhen manipud kadagiti tattaona.
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.’”
15 Masapul nga agtulnog isuna kadagitoy nga annuroten, tapno saanna a marugitan dagiti annakna kadagiti tattaona, ta siak ni Yahweh, a nangilasin kenkuana para kaniak.'''
16 Nagsao ni Yahweh kenni Moises, a kinunana,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
17 “Makisaritaka kenni Aaron ket ibagam kenkuana, 'Siasinoman kadagiti kaputotam iti amin a henerasyonda nga addaan iti pakapilawan ti bagina, masapul a saan isuna nga umasideg a mangidaton ti 'taraon' iti Diosna.
“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:
18 Siasinoman a tao nga addaan iti pakapilawan iti bagina ket masapul a saan nga umasideg kenni Yahweh, kas iti maysa a bulsek a tao, pilay a tao, maysa a nadadael ti porma ti bagina wenno adda kurang ti bagina,
No one who is blind or lame or deformed, or whose [face is] disfigured,
19 tao a paralitiko ti ima wenno sakana,
no man with a crippled foot or a crippled hand,
20 kubbo wenno pandek a tao, wenno maysa atao nga adda dadael ti matana, wenno addaan ti sakit ti kudil, sugat, gaddil, wenno nadadael ti nailimmeng a parte ti bagina.
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.
21 Awan ti siasinoman a tao kadagiti kaputotan ti padi a ni Aaron nga adda depekto ti bagina ti mabalin nga umasideg tapno mangidatag iti daton a mapuoran a para kenni Yahweh. Ti kasta a tao nga adda depekto ti bagina; masapul a saan isuna nga umasideg a mangidaton iti 'taraon' ti Diosna.
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.
22 Mabalinna a kanen ti taraon ti Diosna, dagiti kasasantoan man wenno sumagmamano kadagiti nasantoan.
Priests who have defects are permitted to eat the various kinds of holy food offered to me.
23 Nupay kasta, masapul a saan isuna a sumrek iti nalengdan ti kurtina wenno umasideg iti altar, gapu ta adda depekto ti bagina, tapno saanna a rugitan ti nasantoan a lugarko, gapu ta siak ni Yahweh, a nangidaton kadakuada kaniak.”'
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.'”
24 Imbaga ngarud ni Moises dagitoy a sasao kenni Aaron, kadagiti annakna ken kadagiti amin a tattao ti Israel.
So Moses/I told this to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israeli people.
