Levitikosy 21
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Mitenena amin’ ireo mpisorona, zanak’ i Arona, hoe: Aoka ianareo tsy hisy hiditra am-paty eo amin’ ny fireneny,
And YHWH says to Moses, “Speak to the priests, sons of Aaron, and you have said to them: No one defiles himself for a [dead] person among his people,
2 afa-tsy amin’ ny tahaka ny tenany, dia ny reniny sy ny rainy sy ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy ary ny rahalahiny;
except for his relation who [is] near to him: for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
3 ary amin’ ny fatin’ ny anabaviny, izay tahaka ny tenany ihany koa sady tsy mbola manam-bady fa virijina, no ahazoany mandoto ny tenany.
and for his sister, the virgin, who is near to him, who has not been to a man; he is defiled for her.
4 Tsy hiditra am-paty hametaveta ny tenany izy, satria andriana eo amin’ ny fireneny izy.
A master [priest] does not defile himself among his people—to defile himself;
5 Tsy hanasola ny lohany izy, na hanaratra ny vaokany, na hitetika ny tenany.
they do not make baldness on their head, and they do not shave the corner of their beard, and they do not make a cutting in their flesh;
6 Ho masìna ho an’ Andriamaniny izy ka tsy hanamavo ny anaran’ Andriamaniny; fa mpanatitra ny fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo ho an’ i Jehovah izy, dia ny hanin’ Andriamaniny, ka dia tokony ho masìna.
they are holy to their God, and they do not defile the Name of their God, for the fire-offerings of YHWH, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been holy.
7 Aoka tsy hanambady izay vehivavy mpijangajanga ka voaloto izy, ary aoka tsy hanambady vehivavy izay efa nisaoran’ ny lahy; fa masìna ho an’ Andriamaniny ny mpisorona.
They do not take a woman of harlotry, or defiled, and they do not take a woman cast out from her husband, for he [is] holy to his God;
8 Dia hamasino izy, fa ny hanin’ Andriamanitrao no ateriny; ho masìna aminao izy, fa masìna Aho Jehovah, Izay manamasìna anareo.
and you have sanctified him, for he is bringing the bread of your God near. He is holy to you, for I, YHWH, sanctifying you, [am] holy.
9 Ary raha ny zanakavavin’ ny mpisorona mandoto ny tenany amin’ ny fijangajangana, dia efa manamavo ny rainy izy ka hodorana amin’ ny afo.
And when a daughter of any priest defiles herself by going whoring—she is defiling her father; she is burned with fire.
10 Ary ny mpisoronabe, izay nalaina tamin’ ny rahalahiny, ka nanidinana ny diloilo fanosorana ny lohany, sady natokana hitafy ny fitafiana, dia aoka tsy hirakaraka volo, na handriatra ny fitafiany.
And the high priest of his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who has consecrated his hand to put on the garments, does not uncover his head, nor tear his garments,
11 Ary aoka tsy hiditra am-paty akory izy, ka tsy handoto ny tenany na dia amin’ ny rainy aman-dreniny aza.
nor does he come beside any dead person; he does not defile himself for his father and for his mother;
12 Ary aoka tsy hivoaka avy amin’ ny fitoerana masìna izy, na handoto ny fitoera-masin’ Andriamaniny; fa ny diademany, dia ny diloilo fanosoran’ Andriamaniny azy, no eo an-dohany: Izaho no Jehovah.
nor does he go out from the sanctuary, nor does he defile the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing oil of his God [is] on him; I [am] YHWH.
13 Ary aoka hampakatra izay vehivavy mbola virijina izy.
And he takes a wife in her virginity;
14 Fa ny maty vady, na ny efa nisaorana, na ny voaloto tamin’ ny fijangajangana, dia tsy azony hampakarina, fa virijina avy amin’ ny fireneny ihany no hampakariny.
a widow, or cast out, or defiled, [or] a harlot—these he does not take, but he takes a virgin of his own people [for] a wife,
15 Ary aoka tsy hanao izay hahaloto ny taranany eo amin’ ny fireneny izy; fa Izaho Jehovah no manamasìna azy.
and he does not defile his seed among his people; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying him.”
16 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
17 Mitenena amin’ i Arona hoe: Izay rehetra misy kilema amin’ ny zanakao, amin’ ny taranany hatramin’ ny fara mandimby, dia aoka tsy hanakaiky fanatitra ny hanin’ Andriamaniny;
“Speak to Aaron, saying, No man of your seed throughout their generations in whom there is blemish draws near to bring the bread of his God near,
18 Fa izay rehetra misy kilema dia tsy mahazo manakaiky hanao izany na ny jamba, na ny mandringa, na ny petaka orona, na ny manana amby,
for no man in whom [is] a blemish draws near: a man blind, or lame, or disfigured, or deformed,
19 na ny tapa-tongotra, na ny tapa-tanana,
or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,
20 na ny vokoka, na ny sahozanina, na ny misy pentimpentina eo amin’ ny masony, na ny hatenina, na ny tsingaohina, na ny torotoro vihy.
or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or [with] a defect in his eye, or [with] an itch, or [with] a scab, or [with] a broken testicle.
21 Ny olona rehetra amin’ ny zanak’ i Arona mpisorona izay misy kilema dia tsy mahazo manakaiky hanatitra ny fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo ho an’ i Jehovah; misy kilema izy ka tsy mahazo manakaiky hanatitra ny hanin’ Andriamaniny.
No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) comes near to bring the fire-offerings of YHWH near; blemish [is] in him; he does not come near to bring the bread of his God near.
22 Ny hanin’ Andriamaniny, izay avy amin’ ny zavatra masìna indrindra sy ny zavatra masìna, dia azony hanina ihany;
Bread of his God—from the most holy things and from the holy things—he eats;
23 kanefa tsy mahazo miditra ao anatin’ ny efitra lamba na manakaiky ny alitara izy, satria misy kilema, mba tsy handoto ny fitoerako masìna izy, fa Izaho Jehovah no manamasìna azy.
only, he does not come toward the veil, and he does not draw near to the altar; for blemish [is] in him; and he does not defile My sanctuaries; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying them.”
24 Ary Mosesy dia nilaza izany tamin’ i Arona sy ny zanany ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra.
And Moses speaks to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
