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,
Yahweh said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for the dead 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 relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,
3 ndra ty rahavave’e somondrara marine aze tsy amam-baly; ie ro azo anivam-batañe.
and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
4 Tsy handeo-batañe re, ie talè añivo’ ondati’eo, haniva’e vatañe.
He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 Tsy hanoe’ iareo peake ty añambone’ iareo le tsy ho harateñe ty indran-tanteahe’ iareo ndra hanoritory sandriñe.
“‘They shall not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings 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 shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God, for they offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the bread of their God. Therefore 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 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 Aa le atokano, fa ie ty mpanjotso mahakama aman’ Añahare’o. Hiavake ama’o re, amy te masin-dRaho Iehovà, mpampiavake anahareo.
Therefore you shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am holy.
9 Ie manao hatsimirirañe ty anak’ ampelam-pisoroñe ro maniva an-drae’e, ho forototoeñe añ’afo.
“‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be 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.
“‘He who is the high priest among 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 Tsy hiziliha’e ty aman-dolo, tsy hanivà’e sandriñe ndra t’ie rae’e ndra te rene’e;
He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father or 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.
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 Yahweh.
13 Somondrara ty hengae’e ho vali’e,
“‘He shall take 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
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 tsy mone haniva o tarira’eo amo longo’eo; Izaho Iehovà Mpampiavak’ aze.
He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies him.’”
16 Le hoe ty nitsarae’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
Yahweh 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, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread 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,
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 ke te ondaty fola-pandia, he fola-pitàñe,
or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured 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 one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.
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 of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22 Mete ikama’e ty mahakaman’ Añahare’e: o miava-do’eo naho o miavakeo.
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
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.
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 Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”
24 Aa le nitaroñe’ i Mosè amy Aharone naho amo ana’eo vaho amo hene ana’ Israeleo izay.
So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
