Leviticus 22
1 Locutus quoque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Loquere ad Aaron et ad filios eius, ut caveant ab his quae consecrata sunt filiorum Israel, et non contaminent nomen sanctificatorum mihi, quae ipsi offerunt. ego Dominus.
“Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.
3 Dic ad eos, et ad posteros eorum: Omnis homo, qui accesserit de stirpe vestra ad ea quae consecrata sunt, et quae obtulerunt filii Israel Domino, in quo est immunditia, peribit coram Domino. ego sum Dominus.
“Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am the LORD.
4 Homo de semine Aaron, qui fuerit leprosus, aut patiens fluxum seminis, non vescetur de his quae sanctificata sunt mihi donec sanetur. Qui tetigerit immundum super mortuo, et ex quo egreditur semen quasi coitus,
“‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission,
5 et qui tangit reptile, et quodlibet immundum, cuius tactus est sordidus,
or whoever touches any creeping thing by which he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has—
6 immundus erit usque ad vesperum, et non vescetur his quae sanctificata sunt: sed cum laverit carnem suam aqua,
the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body in water.
7 et occubuerit sol, tunc mundatus vescetur de sanctificatis, quia cibus illius est.
When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8 Morticinum et captum a bestia non comedent, nec polluentur in eis. ego sum Dominus.
He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am the LORD.
9 Custodiant praecepta mea, ut non subiaceant peccato, et moriantur in Sanctuario, cum polluerint illud. ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos.
“‘They shall therefore follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
10 Omnis alienigena non comedet de sanctificatis, inquilinus sacerdotis, et mercenarius non vescentur ex eis.
“‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11 Quem autem sacerdos emerit, et qui vernaculus domus eius fuerit, his comedent ex eis.
But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.
12 Si filia sacerdotis cuilibet ex populo nupta fuerit: de his quae sanctificata sunt, et de primitiis non vescetur.
If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
13 sin autem vidua, vel repudiata, et absque liberis reversa fuerit ad domum patris sui: sicut puella consueverat, aletur cibis patris sui. Omnis alienigena comedendi ex eis non habet potestatem.
But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.
14 Qui comederit de sanctificatis per ignorantiam, addet quintam partem cum eo quod comedit, et dabit sacerdoti in Sanctuarium.
“‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
15 Nec contaminabunt sanctificata filiorum Israel, quae offerunt Domino:
The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD,
16 ne forte sustineant iniquitatem delicti sui, cum sanctificata comederint. ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos.
and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
17 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
18 Loquere ad Aaron et filios eius et ad omnes filios Israel, dicesque ad eos: Homo de domo Israel, et de advenis qui habitant apud vos, qui obtulerit oblationem suam, vel vota solvens, vel sponte offerens, quidquid illud obtulerit in holocaustum Domini,
“Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering:
19 ut offeratur per vos, masculus immaculatus erit ex bobus, et ovibus, et ex capris:
that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 si maculam habuerit, non offeretis, neque erit acceptabile.
But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21 Homo qui obtulerit victimam pacificorum Domino, vel vota solvens, vel sponte offerens, tam de bobus quam de ovibus, immaculatum offeret, ut acceptabile sit: omnis macula non erit in eo.
Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.
22 Si caecum fuerit, si fractum, si cicatricem habens, si papulas, aut scabiem, aut impetiginem: non offeretis ea Domino, nec adolebitis ex eis super altare Domini.
You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD.
23 Bovem et ovem, aure et cauda amputatis, voluntarie offerre potes, votum autem ex eis solvi non potest.
Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24 Omne animal, quod vel contritis vel tonsis, vel sectis ablatisque testiculis est, non offeretis Domino, et in terra vestra hoc omnino ne faciatis.
You must not offer to the LORD that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.
25 De manu alienigenae non offeretis panes Deo vestro, et quidquid aliud dare voluerit: quia corrupta, et maculata sunt omnia: non suscipietis ea.
You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”
26 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
27 Bos, ovis, et capra cum genita fuerint, septem diebus erunt sub ubere matris suae: die autem octavo, et deinceps offerri poterunt Domino.
“When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to the LORD.
28 Sive illa bos, sive ovis, non immolabuntur una die cum foetibus suis.
Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29 Si immolaveritis hostiam pro gratiarum actione Domino, ut possit esse placabilis,
“When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
30 eodem die comedetis eam, non remanebit quidquam in mane alterius diei. ego Dominus.
It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am the LORD.
31 Custodite mandata mea, et facite ea. ego Dominus.
“Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am the LORD.
32 Ne polluatis nomen meum sanctum, ut sanctificer in medio filiorum Israel. Ego Dominus qui sanctifico vos,
You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am the LORD who makes you holy,
33 et eduxi de Terra Aegypti, ut essem vobis in Deum. ego Dominus.
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am the LORD.”
