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 said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, None [of them] shall defile himself on the dead, among his people;
2 garuu firoota dhiigaatiif jechuunis haadha isaa, abbaa isaa, ilma isaa, intala isaa, obboleessa isaa,
But on his kin, that is near unto him, [that is, ] on his mother, and on his father, and on his son, and on his daughter, and on his brother,
3 yookaan obboleettii isaa kan sababii hin heeruminiif isa wajjin jiraattuuf jedhee of xureessuu dandaʼa.
And on his sister that is a virgin, that is nigh unto him, who hath had no husband: on her may he defile himself.
4 Garuu namoota karaa fuudhaa fi heerumaatiin firoota isaa taʼaniif jedhee of hin xureessin; akkasiinis xuraaʼaa hin taʼin.
The chief man among his people shall not defile himself, to be profaned thereby.
5 “‘Luboonni mataa isaanii yookaan qarqara areeda isaanii hin haadatin yookaan dhagna isaanii hin madeessin.
They shall not make any baldness upon their head, and the corner of their beard shall they not shave off, and in their flesh shall they not make any incision.
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.
Holy shall they be unto their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for the fire-offerings of the Lord, the bread of their God, do they offer, they shall therefore be holy.
7 “‘Luboonni sababii Waaqa isaaniitiif qulqulloota taʼaniif isaan dubartoota sagaagalummaadhaan xuraaʼan yookaan kanneen dhirsoota isaanii hiikan fuudhuu hin qaban.
A woman that is a harlot, or one profaned, shall they not take; and a woman put away from her husband shall they not take; for holy is he unto his God.
8 Ati isa qulqulleessi; inni nyaata Waaqa keetii dhiʼeessaatii. Inni siif haa qulqullaaʼu; ani Waaqayyo inni isin qulqulleessu qulqulluudhaatii.
And thou shalt sanctify him; for the bread of thy God doth he offer: holy shall he be unto thee; for I the Lord, who sanctify you, am holy.
9 “‘Intalli luba tokkoo yoo sagaagalummaadhaan of xureessite isheen abbaa ishee salphifti; isheen ibiddaan haa gubamtu.
And if the daughter of any priest profane herself by committing incest, her father doth she profane: with fire shall she be burnt.
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 highest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil hath been poured, and who hath been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head grow long, and his garments shall he not rend;
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; even on his father, and on his mother shall he not defile himself.
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 out of the sanctuary shall he not go, that he may not profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.
13 “‘Dubartiin inni fuudhu durba taʼuu qabdi.
And he shall take a wife in her virgin state.
14 Inni haadha hiyyeessaa, niitii dhirsi hiike yookaan niitii sagaagalummaadhaan xuroofte hin fuudhin; garuu gosa isaa keessaa durba haa fuudhu;
A widow, and a divorced woman, and one profaned, [and] a harlot, these shall he not take; but a virgin of his own people shall he take for wife;
15 kunis akka inni gosa isaa keessatti sanyii isaa hin xureessineef. Ani Waaqayyo isa qulqulleessuu dha.’”
So that he may not profane his seed among his people; for I, the Lord, do sanctify him.
16 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
17 “Arooniin akkana jedhi: ‘Dhaloota itti aanu keessatti sanyii kee keessaa namni hirʼina qabu kam iyyuu nyaata Waaqa isaa dhiʼeessuuf hin dhiʼaatin.
Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever of thy seed in their generations it be on whom there is any blemish, shall not approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 Namni hirʼina kam iyyuu qabu tokko iyyuu jechuunis namni jaamaan yookaan naafni, namni bifaa fi dhagna hin tolle,
For whatsoever man it be on whom there is a blemish, shall not approach: a blind, or a lame man, or one that hath a flattened nose, or a man one of whose limbs is too long,
19 namni miilla yookaan harka cabaa qabu,
Or a man who hath a broken foot, or a broken hand,
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 a crookbacked, or a dwarf, or one that hath a blemish in his eye, or the itch, or the scurvy, or the testicles broken.
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.
Every man on whom there is a blemish, of the seed of Aaron the priest, shall not come nigh to offer the fire-offerings of the Lord: there is a blemish on him; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
22 Innis nyaata Waaqa isaa kan nyaata hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼee fi nyaata qulqulluu nyaachuu dandaʼa.
The brewed of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy things he may eat.
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 unto the vail, and unto the altar shall he not come nigh, because there is a blemish on him; that he profane not my holy things; for I the Lord do sanctify them.
24 Museen Aroonitti, ilmaan Aroonittii fi Israaʼeloota hundatti waan kana hime.
And Moses spoke thus unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
