Imamat 21
1 TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa: "Berbicaralah kepada para imam, anak-anak Harun, dan katakan kepada mereka: Seorang imam janganlah menajiskan diri dengan orang mati di antara orang-orang sebangsanya,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them,
2 kecuali kalau yang mati itu adalah kerabatnya yang terdekat, yakni: ibunya, ayahnya, anaknya laki-laki atau perempuan, saudaranya laki-laki,
‘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 saudaranya perempuan, yang masih perawan dan dekat kepadanya karena belum mempunyai suami, dengan mereka itu bolehlah ia menajiskan diri.
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 Sebagai suami janganlah ia menajiskan diri di antara orang-orang sebangsanya dan dengan demikian melanggar kekudusannya.
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 Janganlah mereka menggundul sebagian kepalanya, dan janganlah mereka mencukur tepi janggutnya, dan janganlah mereka menggoresi kulit tubuhnya.
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 Mereka itu harus kudus bagi Allahnya dan janganlah mereka melanggar kekudusan nama Allahnya, karena merekalah yang mempersembahkan segala korban api-apian TUHAN, santapan Allah mereka, dan karena itu haruslah mereka kudus.
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 Janganlah mereka mengambil seorang perempuan sundal atau perempuan yang sudah dirusak kesuciannya atau seorang perempuan yang telah diceraikan oleh suaminya, karena imam itu kudus bagi Allahnya.
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 Dan kamu harus menganggap dia kudus, karena dialah yang mempersembahkan santapan Allahmu. Ia harus kudus bagimu, sebab Aku, TUHAN, yang menguduskan kamu adalah kudus.
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 Apabila anak perempuan seorang imam membiarkan kehormatannya dilanggar dengan bersundal, maka ia melanggar kekudusan ayahnya, dan ia harus dibakar dengan api.
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 Imam yang terbesar di antara saudara-saudaranya, yang sudah diurapi dengan menuangkan minyak urapan di atas kepalanya dan yang ditahbiskan dengan mengenakan kepadanya segala pakaian kudus, janganlah membiarkan rambutnya terurai dan janganlah ia mencabik pakaiannya.
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 Janganlah ia dekat kepada semua mayat, bahkan janganlah ia menajiskan diri dengan mayat ayahnya atau ibunya.
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 Janganlah ia keluar dari tempat kudus, supaya jangan dilanggarnya kekudusan tempat kudus Allahnya, karena minyak urapan Allahnya, yang menandakan bahwa ia telah dikhususkan, ada di atas kepalanya; Akulah TUHAN.
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 Ia harus mengambil seorang perempuan yang masih perawan.
Women whom you priests marry must be virgins.
14 Seorang janda atau perempuan yang telah diceraikan atau yang dirusak kesuciannya atau perempuan sundal, janganlah diambil, melainkan harus seorang perawan dari antara orang-orang sebangsanya,
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 supaya jangan ia melanggar kekudusan keturunannya di antara orang-orang sebangsanya, sebab Akulah TUHAN, yang menguduskan dia."
16 TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
17 "Katakanlah kepada Harun, begini: Setiap orang dari antara keturunanmu turun-temurun yang bercacat badannya, janganlah datang mendekat untuk mempersembahkan santapan Allahnya,
“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 karena setiap orang yang bercacat badannya tidak boleh datang mendekat: orang buta, orang timpang, orang yang bercacat mukanya, orang yang terlalu panjang anggotanya,
No one who is blind or lame or deformed, or whose [face is] disfigured,
19 orang yang patah kakinya atau tangannya,
no man with a crippled foot or a crippled hand,
20 orang yang berbongkol atau yang kerdil badannya atau yang bular matanya, orang yang berkedal atau berkurap atau yang rusak buah pelirnya.
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 Setiap orang dari keturunan imam Harun, yang bercacat badannya, janganlah datang untuk mempersembahkan segala korban api-apian TUHAN; karena badannya bercacat janganlah ia datang dekat untuk mempersembahkan santapan Allahnya.
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 Mengenai santapan Allahnya, baik persembahan-persembahan maha kudus maupun persembahan-persembahan kudus boleh dimakannya.
Priests who have defects are permitted to eat the various kinds of holy food offered to me.
23 Hanya janganlah ia datang sampai ke tabir dan janganlah ia datang ke mezbah, karena badannya bercacat, supaya jangan dilanggarnya kekudusan seluruh tempat kudus-Ku, sebab Akulah TUHAN, yang menguduskan mereka."
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 Demikianlah Musa menyampaikan firman itu kepada Harun serta anak-anaknya dan kepada semua orang Israel.
So Moses/I told this to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israeli people.
