Leviticus 21
1 LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses elan fahkang nu sin mwet tol in fwil natul Aaron, ac fahk, “Wangin mwet tol fah sifacna oru elan tia nasnas ke sripen el wi orekma ke mas misa ke pacl sie mwet in sou lal ah misa,
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 amongst his people,
2 sayen nina kial, papa tumal, wen se natul, acn se natul, tamulel se lal,
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 ku tamtael lolap se lal su muta in lohm sel.
and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
4 El fah tia akfohkfokyal sifacna ke misa lun mwet su kupasr nu sel ke sripen payuk.
He shall not defile himself, being a chief man amongst his people, to profane himself.
5 “Wangin mwet tol ac fah resai kutena ip ke sifal, ku kalla sisken alut lal, ku sipik manol in akkalemye lah el asor.
“‘They shall not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 Enenu elan mutal na ac tia aklusrongtenye Inek. El oru kisa ke mwe mongo nu sik, ke ma inge el enenu in mutal.
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 Sie mwet tol fah tiana payuk sin sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal, ku sie mutan su tia virgin, ku sie su mukul tumal sisella. Sie mwet tol el mutal.
“‘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 Enenu mwet uh in akilen mu mwet tol el sie mwet mutal, mweyen el oru kisa ke mwe mongo nu sik. Nga pa LEUM GOD. Nga mutal ac nga oru mwet luk in mutal.
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 Fin acn nutin sie mwet tol el orek kosro in eis moul kac, el akmwekinye papa tumal, na enenu in isisyak el nwe ke el misa.
“‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be burnt with fire.
10 “Oil in akmusra okwokyang tari nu fin sifen Mwet Tol Fulat, ac el akmutalyeyuk in nukum nuknuk lun mwet tol. Ke ma inge tia enenu in miraung sifal, ac el tia enenu in seya nuknuk lal in akkalemye lah el asor.
“‘He who is the high priest amongst 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 El fah tia som nu yen mano misa oan we — finne papa tumal ku nina kial, el fah tia akkolukyal kac.
He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father or for his mother.
12 Oil in akmusra lun God lal oan facl, ke ma inge el fah tia akfohkfokye Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik ke el illa liki in som nu ke mas misa. Nga LEUM GOD.
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.
13 El fah payuk sin sie virgin,
“‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 ac tia sie katinmas ku sie mutan su mukul tumal sisella, ku sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal. El fah payukna sin sie virgin in sruf lal sifacna.
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 El fin tia oru ma inge, tulik natul, su fal in mutal, ac fah tia nasnas. Nga LEUM GOD, ac nga srella tari tuh elan Mwet Tol Fulat.”
He shall not profane his offspring amongst his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.’”
16 LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses, ac fahk,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17 “Fahkang nu sel Aaron, wangin sie mwet inmasrlon sou lom su oasr kutena acn sukapas ke mano fah ase nu sik mwe kisa mongo. Oakwuk se inge ac fah ma nwe tok.
“Say to Aaron, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 Wangin sie mwet su sukapas in mano fah orek kisa: tia sie su kun, ku ul, ku musalla mano, ku fihkala;
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,
19 tia sie su ulla pao ku nia;
or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
20 tia sie su foingyak ku sie su srikac; tia sie su maskin muta ku mas ke kolo; ac tia sie eunuch.
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 Wangin mwet in fwil natul Aaron, mwet tol, su oasr acn musalla in mano fah oru kisa mwe mongo nu sik.
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.
22 Kain mwet se inge ku in kang mwe mongo ma kisakinyuk nu sik, kewana mongo mutal ac mongo arulana mutal,
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23 tusruktu ke sripen el sukapas in mano, el fah tia kalukyang nu ke lisrlisr mutal, ku tuku apkuran nu ke loang uh. El fah tiana akkolukye ma mutal inge, mweyen nga LEUM GOD, ac nga oru tuh ma inge in mutal.”
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 Pa inge ma Moses el fahk nu sel Aaron, nu sin wen natul Aaron, ac mwet Israel nukewa.
So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
