1 여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 아론의 자손 제사장들에게 고하여 이르라 백성 중의 죽은 자로 인하여 스스로 더럽히지 말려니와
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them,
2 골육지친인 부모나 자녀나 형제나
‘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 출가하지 아니한 처녀인 친 자매로 인하여는 몸을 더럽힐 수 있느니라
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 제사장은 백성의 어른인즉 스스로 더럽혀 욕되게 하지 말지니라
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 제사장은 머리털을 깎아 대머리 같게 하지 말며 그 수염 양편을 깎지 말며 살을 베지 말고
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 그 하나님께 대하여 거룩하고 그 하나님의 이름을 욕되게 하지 말 것이며 그들은 여호와의 화제 곧 그 하나님의 식물을 드리는 자인즉 거룩할 것이라
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 그들은 기생이나 부정한 여인을 취하지 말 것이며 이혼 당한 여인을 취하지 말지니 이는 그가 여호와께 거룩함이니라
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 너는 그를 거룩하게 하라! 그는 네 하나님의 식물을 드림이니라 너는 그를 거룩히 여기라! 나 여호와 너희를 거룩하게 하는 자는 거룩함이니라
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 아무 제사장의 딸이든지 행음하여 스스로 더럽히면 그 아비를 욕되게 함이니 그를 불사를지니라
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 자기 형제 중 관유로 부음을 받고 위임되어 예복을 입은 대제사장은 그 머리를 풀지 말며 그 옷을 찢지 말며
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 어떤 시체에든지 가까이 말지니 부모로 인하여도 더러워지게 말며
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 성소에서 나오지 말며 그 하나님의 성소를 더럽히지 말라! 이는 하나님의 위임한 관유가 그 위에 있음이니라 나는 여호와니라!
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 그는 처녀를 취하여 아내를 삼을지니
Women whom you priests marry must be virgins.
14 과부나 이혼된 여인이나 더러운 여인이나 기생을 취하지 말고 자기 백성 중 처녀를 취하여 아내를 삼아
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 그 자손으로 백성 중에서 더럽히지 말지니 나는 그를 거룩하게 하는 여호와임이니라
16 여호와께서 모세에게 일러 가라사대
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
17 아론에게 고하여 이르라 무릇 너의 대대 자손 중 육체에 흠이 있는 자는 그 하나님의 식물을 드리려고 가까이 오지 못할 것이라
“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 무릇 흠이 있는 자는 가까이 못할지니 곧 소경이나, 절뚝발이나, 코가 불완전한 자나, 지체가 더한 자나,
No one who is blind or lame or deformed, or whose [face is] disfigured,
19 발 부러진 자나, 손 부러진 자나,
no man with a crippled foot or a crippled hand,
20 곱사등이나, 난장이나, 눈에 백막이 있는 자나, 괴혈병이나, 버짐이 있는 자나, 불알 상한 자나,
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 제사장 아론의 자손 중에 흠이 있는 자는 나아와 여호와의 화제를 드리지 못할지니 그는 흠이 있은즉 나아와 하나님의 식물을 드리지 못하느니라
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 그는 하나님의 식물의 지성물이든지 성물이든지 먹을 것이나
Priests who have defects are permitted to eat the various kinds of holy food offered to me.
23 장 안에 들어가지 못할 것이요 단에 가까이 못할지니 이는 그가 흠이 있음이라 이와 같이 그가 나의 성소를 더럽히지 못할 것은 나는 그들을 거룩하게 하는 여호와임이니라!
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 모세가 이대로 아론과 그 아들들과 온 이스라엘 자손에게 고하였더라
So Moses/I told this to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israeli people.
