< レビ記 21 >
1 ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはくアロンの子等なる祭司等に告てこれに言へ民の中の死人のために身を汚す者あるべからず
The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people,
2 但しその骨肉の親のためすなはちその母のため父のため男子のため女子のため兄弟のため
except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,
3 またその姉妹の處女にして未だ夫あらざる者のためには身を汚すも宜し
and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
4 祭司はその民の中の長者なれば身を汚して褻たる者となるべからず
He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 彼等は髮をそりて頭に毛なき所をつくるべからずその鬚の兩傍を損ずべからずまたその身に傷つくべからず
“‘They shall not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 その神に對て聖あるべくまたその神の名をけがすべからず彼等はヱホバの火祭すなはち其神の食物を献ぐる者なれば聖あるべきなり
They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God, for they offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the bread of their God. Therefore they shall be holy.
7 彼等は妓女または汚れたる女を妻に娶るべからずまた夫に出されたる女を娶るべからず其はその身ヱホバにむかひて聖ければなり
“‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane. A priest shall not marry a woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to his God.
8 汝かれをもて聖者とすべし彼は汝の神ヱホバの食物を献ぐる者なればなり汝すなはちこれをもて聖者となすべし其は我ヱホバ汝らを聖別る者聖ければなり
Therefore you shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy.
9 祭司の女たる者淫行をなしてその身を汚さば是その父を汚すなり火をもてこれを燒べし
“‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire.
10 その兄弟の中灌膏を首にそそがれ職に任ぜられて祭司の長となれる者はその頭をあらはすべからずまたその衣服を裂べからず
“‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, or tear his clothes.
11 死人の所に往べからずまたその父のためにも母のためにも身を汚すべからず
He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father or for his mother.
12 また聖所より出べからずその神の聖所を褻すべからず其はその神の任職の灌膏首にあればなり我はヱホバなり
He shall not go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am the LORD.
“‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 寡婦休れたる婦または汚れたる婦妓女等は娶るべからず惟自己の民の中の處女を妻にめとるべし
He shall not marry a widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. He shall take a virgin of his own people as a wife.
15 その民の中に自己の子孫を汚すべからずヱホバこれを聖別ればなり
He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.’”
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17 アロンに告て言へ凡そ汝の歴代の子孫の中身に疵ある者は進みよりてその神ヱホバの食物を献ぐる事を爲べからず
“Say to Aaron, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 凡て疵ある人は進みよるべからずすなはち瞽者跛者および鼻の缺たる者成餘るところ身にある者
For whatever man he is that has a defect, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,
or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
20 傴僂者侏儒目に雲膜ある者疥ある者癬ある者外腎の壞れたる者等は進みよるべからず
or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.
21 凡そ祭司アロンの子孫の中身に疵ある者は進みよりてヱホバの火祭を献ぐべからず彼は身に疵あるなれば進みよりてヱホバの食物を献ぐべからざるなり
No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23 然ど障蔽の幕に至べからずまた祭壇に近よるべからず其は身に疵あればなり斯かれわが聖所を汚すべからず其は我ヱホバこれを聖別ればなり
He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a defect; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
24 モーセすなはちアロンとその子等およびイスラエルの一切の子孫にこれを告たり
So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
