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 to Moses, Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
2 garuu firoota dhiigaatiif jechuunis haadha isaa, abbaa isaa, ilma isaa, intala isaa, obboleessa isaa,
But for his kin, that is near to him, [that is], for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
3 yookaan obboleettii isaa kan sababii hin heeruminiif isa wajjin jiraattuuf jedhee of xureessuu dandaʼa.
And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh to him, who hath had no husband: for her he may be defiled.
4 Garuu namoota karaa fuudhaa fi heerumaatiin firoota isaa taʼaniif jedhee of hin xureessin; akkasiinis xuraaʼaa hin taʼin.
[But] he shall not defile himself, [being] a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 “‘Luboonni mataa isaanii yookaan qarqara areeda isaanii hin haadatin yookaan dhagna isaanii hin madeessin.
They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in 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 not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, [and] the bread of their God they do offer: therefore 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 wife [that is] a lewd woman, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he [is] holy to his God.
8 Ati isa qulqulleessi; inni nyaata Waaqa keetii dhiʼeessaatii. Inni siif haa qulqullaaʼu; ani Waaqayyo inni isin qulqulleessu qulqulluudhaatii.
Thou shalt sanctify him therefore, for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy to 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 the daughter of any priest, if she shall profane herself by lewdness, she profaneth 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 [he that is] the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;
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, nor defile himself for his father, or for 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.
Neither shall he 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] the LORD.
13 “‘Dubartiin inni fuudhu durba taʼuu qabdi.
And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 Inni haadha hiyyeessaa, niitii dhirsi hiike yookaan niitii sagaagalummaadhaan xuroofte hin fuudhin; garuu gosa isaa keessaa durba haa fuudhu;
A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, [or] a harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people for a wife.
15 kunis akka inni gosa isaa keessatti sanyii isaa hin xureessineef. Ani Waaqayyo isa qulqulleessuu dha.’”
Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify 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.
Speak to Aaron, saying, whoever [he may be] of thy seed in their generations that hath [any] blemish, let him 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 whatever man [he may be] that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
19 namni miilla yookaan harka cabaa qabu,
Or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,
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 crooked-backed, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his peculiar members 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.
No man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a blemish, shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire; he hath a blemish, 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.
He shall eat the bread of his God, [both] of the most holy, and of the holy.
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 go in to the vail, nor come nigh to the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he may not profane my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
24 Museen Aroonitti, ilmaan Aroonittii fi Israaʼeloota hundatti waan kana hime.
And Moses told [it] to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
