Levitikosy 21
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè: Misaontsia amo mpisoroñeo, o ana’ i Aharoneo, le itaroño ty hoe: Asoao tsy ho am’iereo ty haniva vatañe ami’ty lolo am’ondati’eo,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and you shall tell them [that] they shall not defile themselves in their nation for the dead,
2 naho tsy t’ie longo marine: ty rene’e ndra i rae’e, ty anadahi’e ndra ty anak’ ampela’e ndra ty rahalahi’e
but [they may mourn] for a relative who is very near to them, for a father and mother, and sons and daughters, for a brother,
3 ndra ty rahavave’e somondrara marine aze tsy amam-baly; ie ro azo anivam-batañe.
and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself.
4 Tsy handeo-batañe re, ie talè añivo’ ondati’eo, haniva’e vatañe.
He shall not defile himself suddenly amongst his people to profane himself.
5 Tsy hanoe’ iareo peake ty añambone’ iareo le tsy ho harateñe ty indran-tanteahe’ iareo ndra hanoritory sandriñe.
And you shall not shave your head for the dead with a baldness on the top; and they shall not shave their beard, neither shall they make gashes on their flesh.
6 Ie hiavake ho aman’ Añahare’e, naho tsy hiteratera ty tahinan’ Añahare’ iareo; f’ie ro mpañenga an’ afo am’ Iehovà ty mahakaman’ Añahare’ iareo, toe miavake iereo.
They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for they offer the sacrifices of the Lord as the gifts of their God, and they shall be holy.
7 Tsy hangala-baly ami’ty kàrapilo ndra ami’ty maleotse iereo, le tsy hañenga rakemba narian-dahy; amy t’ie miavake aman’Añahare’e.
They shall not take a woman who is a harlot and profaned, or a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy to the Lord his God.
8 Aa le atokano, fa ie ty mpanjotso mahakama aman’ Añahare’o. Hiavake ama’o re, amy te masin-dRaho Iehovà, mpampiavake anahareo.
And you shall hallow him; he offers the gifts of the Lord your God: he shall be holy, for I the Lord that sanctify them [am] holy.
9 Ie manao hatsimirirañe ty anak’ ampelam-pisoroñe ro maniva an-drae’e, ho forototoeñe añ’afo.
And if the daughter of a priest should be profaned to go a whoring, she profanes the name of her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
10 I mpisoroñe zoke’ o rahalahi’eoy, i nañiliñañe mena-pañorizañe añambone’e eo naho naambake hisikiñe o saroñeoy ro tsy handoly sabaka vaho tsy handriatse ty saro’e.
And the priest that is chief amongst his brethren, the oil having been poured upon the head of the anointed one, and he having been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not take the mitre off his head, and shall not rend his garments:
11 Tsy hiziliha’e ty aman-dolo, tsy hanivà’e sandriñe ndra t’ie rae’e ndra te rene’e;
neither shall he go in to any dead body, neither shall he defile himself for his father or his mother.
12 vaho tsy hienga i miavakey ndra haniva i toe-miava’ Nañahare’ey; fa ama’e i mena-pañorizañe nañavahañe aze aman’ Añahare’ey: Izaho Iehovà.
And he shall not go forth out of the sanctuary, and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, because the holy anointing oil of God [is] upon him: I [am] the Lord.
13 Somondrara ty hengae’e ho vali’e,
He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.
14 tsy hengae’e ty vantotse ndra ty nitseizeñe ndra ty ampela nileoreñe, ndra ty tsimirirañe; fa ty ampela tsy nahavanilahy boak’ amo longo’eo ty hengae’e
But a widow, or one that is put away, or profaned, or a harlot, these he shall not take; but he shall take for a wife a virgin of his own people.
15 tsy mone haniva o tarira’eo amo longo’eo; Izaho Iehovà Mpampiavak’ aze.
And he shall not profane his seed amongst his people: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies him.
16 Le hoe ty nitsarae’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17 Saontsio amy Aharone ty hoe: Tsy mahazo miharine hañenga ty mahakaman’ Añahare’e ty tiri’o aman-kandra amo tarira’o mifandimbeo.
Say to Aaron, A man of your tribe throughout your generations, who shall have a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer the gifts of his God.
18 Le tsy mahazo mitotoke mb’eo t’indaty aman-kandra: ke te fey, he te kepeke, he aman-kandran-tarehe, ke kombimba,
No man who has a blemish on him shall draw near; a man blind, lame, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut,
19 ke te ondaty fola-pandia, he fola-pitàñe,
a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot,
20 ke langa, he kana, ke aman-kandram-pihaino, he aman-kàteñe, ke hezam-bae, hera aman-tabiry dinemoke.
or humpbacked, or blear-eyed, or that has lost his eye-lashes, or a man who has a malignant ulcer, or tetter, or one that has lost a testicle.
21 Aa le tsy hiharivo hañenga soroñe am’ Iehovà ze ondaty aman-kandra amo tarira’ i Aharone mpisoroñeo. Ie aman-kandra, ro tsy hañarine hañenga o mahakaman’ Añahare’eo.
Whoever of the seed of Aaron the priest has a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer sacrifices to your God, because he has a blemish on him; he shall not draw near to offer the gifts of God.
22 Mete ikama’e ty mahakaman’ Añahare’e: o miava-do’eo naho o miavakeo.
The gifts of God [are] most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things.
23 F’ie tsy hizilik’ amy lamba fañefetsey ndra hiharine i kitreliy, ty amy hàndra’ey; tsy mone ho tivae’e i toeko miavakey; amy te Izaho Iehovà Mpampiavak’ iareo.
Only he shall not approach the veil, and he shall not draw near to the altar, because he has a blemish; and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, for I am the Lord that sanctifies them.
24 Aa le nitaroñe’ i Mosè amy Aharone naho amo ana’eo vaho amo hene ana’ Israeleo izay.
And Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
