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 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 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
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 ndra ty rahavave’e somondrara marine aze tsy amam-baly; ie ro azo anivam-batañe.
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 handeo-batañe re, ie talè añivo’ ondati’eo, haniva’e vatañe.
A master [priest] does not defile himself among his people—to defile himself;
5 Tsy hanoe’ iareo peake ty añambone’ iareo le tsy ho harateñe ty indran-tanteahe’ iareo ndra hanoritory sandriñe.
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 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 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 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 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 Aa le atokano, fa ie ty mpanjotso mahakama aman’ Añahare’o. Hiavake ama’o re, amy te masin-dRaho Iehovà, mpampiavake anahareo.
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 Ie manao hatsimirirañe ty anak’ ampelam-pisoroñe ro maniva an-drae’e, ho forototoeñe añ’afo.
And when a daughter of any priest defiles herself by going whoring—she is defiling her father; she is burned 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 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 Tsy hiziliha’e ty aman-dolo, tsy hanivà’e sandriñe ndra t’ie rae’e ndra te rene’e;
nor does he come beside any dead person; he does not defile himself for his father and for 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.
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 Somondrara ty hengae’e ho vali’e,
And he takes a wife in her virginity;
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
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 tsy mone haniva o tarira’eo amo longo’eo; Izaho Iehovà Mpampiavak’ aze.
and he does not defile his seed among his people; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying him.”
16 Le hoe ty nitsarae’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And YHWH speaks 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.
“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 Le tsy mahazo mitotoke mb’eo t’indaty aman-kandra: ke te fey, he te kepeke, he aman-kandran-tarehe, ke kombimba,
for no man in whom [is] a blemish draws near: a man blind, or lame, or disfigured, or deformed,
19 ke te ondaty fola-pandia, he fola-pitàñe,
or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,
20 ke langa, he kana, ke aman-kandram-pihaino, he aman-kàteñe, ke hezam-bae, hera aman-tabiry dinemoke.
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 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.
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 Mete ikama’e ty mahakaman’ Añahare’e: o miava-do’eo naho o miavakeo.
Bread of his God—from the most holy things and from the holy things—he eats;
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 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 Aa le nitaroñe’ i Mosè amy Aharone naho amo ana’eo vaho amo hene ana’ Israeleo izay.
And Moses speaks to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
