Lewwota 21
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Akkana jedhiitii ilmaan Aroon luboota sanatti dubbadhu: ‘Lubni tokko nama fira isaa keessaa duʼeef jedhee of hin xureessin;
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 garuu firoota dhiigaatiif jechuunis haadha isaa, abbaa isaa, ilma isaa, intala isaa, obboleessa isaa,
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 yookaan obboleettii isaa kan sababii hin heeruminiif isa wajjin jiraattuuf jedhee of xureessuu dandaʼa.
and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself.
4 Garuu namoota karaa fuudhaa fi heerumaatiin firoota isaa taʼaniif jedhee of hin xureessin; akkasiinis xuraaʼaa hin taʼin.
He shall not defile himself suddenly among his people to profane himself.
5 “‘Luboonni mataa isaanii yookaan qarqara areeda isaanii hin haadatin yookaan dhagna isaanii hin madeessin.
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 Isaan Waaqa isaaniitiif qulqulloota haa taʼan; maqaa Waaqa isaaniis hin xureessin. Isaan waan aarsaa ibiddaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu, nyaata Waaqa isaanii sana dhiʼeessaniif qulqulloota taʼuu qabu.
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 “‘Luboonni sababii Waaqa isaaniitiif qulqulloota taʼaniif isaan dubartoota sagaagalummaadhaan xuraaʼan yookaan kanneen dhirsoota isaanii hiikan fuudhuu hin qaban.
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 Ati isa qulqulleessi; inni nyaata Waaqa keetii dhiʼeessaatii. Inni siif haa qulqullaaʼu; ani Waaqayyo inni isin qulqulleessu qulqulluudhaatii.
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 “‘Intalli luba tokkoo yoo sagaagalummaadhaan of xureessite isheen abbaa ishee salphifti; isheen ibiddaan haa gubamtu.
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 “‘Lubni obboloota isaa keessaa luba ol aanaa taʼee zayitiin ittiin diban mataa isaa irratti naqame kan akka uffata lubummaa uffatuuf muudame tokko mataa isaa filachuu hin dhiisin yookaan uffata ofii hin tarsaasin.
And the priest that is chief among 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 Inni iddoo reeffi jiru hin seenin. Abbaa isaatiif yookaan haadha isaatiif iyyuu jedhee of hin xureessin;
neither shall he go in to any dead body, neither shall he defile himself for his father or his mother.
12 yookaan sababii zayitiin ittiin diban kan Waaqa isaa isa irra jiruuf inni iddoo qulqulluu sana keessaa hin baʼin yookaan iddoo qulqulluu Waaqa isaa hin xureessin. Ani Waaqayyo.
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 “‘Dubartiin inni fuudhu durba taʼuu qabdi.
He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.
14 Inni haadha hiyyeessaa, niitii dhirsi hiike yookaan niitii sagaagalummaadhaan xuroofte hin fuudhin; garuu gosa isaa keessaa durba haa fuudhu;
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 kunis akka inni gosa isaa keessatti sanyii isaa hin xureessineef. Ani Waaqayyo isa qulqulleessuu dha.’”
And he shall not profane his seed among his people: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies him.
16 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17 “Arooniin akkana jedhi: ‘Dhaloota itti aanu keessatti sanyii kee keessaa namni hirʼina qabu kam iyyuu nyaata Waaqa isaa dhiʼeessuuf hin dhiʼaatin.
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 Namni hirʼina kam iyyuu qabu tokko iyyuu jechuunis namni jaamaan yookaan naafni, namni bifaa fi dhagna hin tolle,
No man who has a blemish on him shall draw near; a man blind, lame, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut,
19 namni miilla yookaan harka cabaa qabu,
a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot,
20 yookaan namni dugda goophoo yookaan ooluun yookaan namni dhibee ijaa qabu yookaan namni madaa malaʼu qabu, yookaan namni cittoo qabuu fi namni kolaafame hin dhiʼaatin.
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 Sanyii Aroon lubichaa keessaa namni hirʼina qabu kam iyyuu aarsaa ibiddaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu dhiʼeessuuf hin dhiʼaatin. Inni waan hirʼina qabuuf nyaata Waaqa isaa dhiʼeessuuf hin dhiʼaatin.
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 Innis nyaata Waaqa isaa kan nyaata hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼee fi nyaata qulqulluu nyaachuu dandaʼa.
The gifts of God [are] most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things.
23 Garuu inni sababii hirʼina qabuuf akka iddoo qulqulluu koo hin xureessineef golgaa keessa hin seenin yookaan iddoo aarsaatti hin dhiʼaatin. Ani Waaqayyo isa isaan qulqulleessuu dha.’”
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 Museen Aroonitti, ilmaan Aroonittii fi Israaʼeloota hundatti waan kana hime.
And Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
