Levítico 21
1 E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Fala aos sacerdotes filhos de Arão, e dize-lhes que não se contaminem por um morto em seus povos.
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them,
2 A não ser por seu parente próximo a si, por sua mãe, ou por seu pai, ou por seu filho, ou por seu irmão,
‘You priests must not cause yourselves to become unfit to do my work by [touching] corpses. Priests are permitted to touch only the corpses of close relatives, such as the priest’s mother or father or his son or daughter or his brother.
3 ou por sua irmã virgem, a ele próxima, a qual não tenha tido marido, por ela se contaminará.
Priests are also permitted to touch the corpse of a sister if she is not married, because she has no husband [to bury her body].
4 Porque é líder em seu povo, não se contaminará, fazendo-se impuro.
Priests must not cause themselves to become unfit to do my work [DOU] by [touching corpses of] people who were married to one of their close relatives.
5 Não farão calva em sua cabeça, nem raparão a ponta de sua barba, nem em sua carne farão cortes.
You priests must not shave your heads or shave the edges of your beards or cut your bodies [to show that you are mourning for someone who has died].
6 Santos serão a seu Deus, e não profanarão o nome de seu Deus; porque oferecem os fogos do SENHOR e o pão de seu Deus; portanto, serão santos.
You must act in ways that I, your God, consider to be holy, and not disgrace my name/reputation. You are the ones who present to me the offerings that are burned. [It is as though] those offerings are food for me, your God; so you must act in ways that are holy.
7 Mulher prostituta ou infame não tomarão: nem tomarão mulher repudiada de seu marido: porque é santo a seu Deus.
You priests must not marry women who have been prostitutes or who have been divorced from their husbands, because you priests are (set apart for me/holy).
8 O santificarás portanto, pois o pão de teu Deus oferece: santo será para ti, porque santo sou eu o SENHOR vosso santificador.
You must consider that you are holy, because you offer food to me, your God. Consider yourselves to be holy because I, Yahweh, [the one who caused you to be priests and] the one who enables you to be holy, am holy.
9 E a filha do homem sacerdote, se começar a se prostituir, a seu pai profana: queimada será ao fogo.
If a priest’s daughter disgraces herself by becoming a prostitute, she disgraces her father; and she must be killed by being burned in a fire.
10 E aquele que é o sumo sacerdote entre seus irmãos, sobre cuja cabeça foi derramado o azeite da unção, e que foi consagrado para usar as vestimentas, não descobrirá sua cabeça, nem rasgará as suas vestes;
The Supreme Priest is the one among his relatives who has been [appointed for that work] by having his head anointed with olive oil. He is also the one who has been appointed to wear the special garments that priests wear. He must not allow the hair on his [head] to remain uncombed, and he must not tear his clothes [when he is mourning for someone].
11 nem entrará onde haja alguma pessoa morta, nem por seu pai, ou por sua mãe se contaminará.
He must not enter some place where there is a corpse. He must not do that and cause himself to become unfit for his work, even if it is his father or his mother who has died.
12 nem sairá do santuário, nem contaminará o santuário de seu Deus; porque a coroa do azeite da unção de seu Deus está sobre ele: Eu sou o SENHOR.
He must not leave the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because he would cause himself to become unfit for his work and would also defile/desecrate the Sacred Tent. He must not leave the Sacred Tent [at that time], because by being anointed with olive oil he has been (appointed/set apart) to serve his God [in the Sacred Tent]. I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding this].
13 E tomará ele mulher com sua virgindade.
Women whom you priests marry must be virgins.
14 Viúva, ou repudiada, ou infame, ou prostituta, estas não tomará: mas tomará virgem de seus povos por mulher.
You priests must not marry widows or prostitutes or divorced women, because if you did that, [if you later have] sons, they would not be acceptable to be priests among your people. You must marry only virgins from among your own people. I am Yahweh, who sets priests apart to be holy.’”
15 E não profanará sua descendência em seus povos; porque eu o SENHOR sou o que os santifico.
16 E o SENHOR falou a Moisés, dizendo:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
17 Fala a Arão, e dize-lhe: O homem de tua semente em suas gerações, no qual houver falta, não se achegará para oferecer o pão de seu Deus.
“Say this to Aaron: 'For all future time, none of your descendants who has any defects [on his body] will be allowed to come near [the altar] to offer [sacrifices to me which will be like] [MET] my food:
18 Porque nenhum homem no qual houver falta, se achegará: homem cego, ou coxo, ou rosto mutilado, ou membro deformado,
No one who is blind or lame or deformed, or whose [face is] disfigured,
19 Ou homem no qual houver fratura de pé ou rotura da mão,
no man with a crippled foot or a crippled hand,
20 Ou corcunda, ou anão, ou que tiver visão embaçada, ou que tenha sarna, ou impigem, ou testículo mutilado;
no man who is a hunchback or a dwarf, no man whose eyes are defective, no man who has a skin disease [DOU] or whose testicles have been damaged is allowed to brings sacrifices.
21 Nenhum homem da descendência de Arão sacerdote, no qual houver falta, se achegará para oferecer as ofertas acendidas do SENHOR. Há falta nele; não se achegará a oferecer o pão de seu Deus.
No descendant of Aaron, the [first Supreme] Priest, who has any defect is allowed to come to the altar to offer to me, his God, sacrifices that will be burned.
22 O pão de seu Deus, do muito santo e as coisas santificadas, comerá.
Priests who have defects are permitted to eat the various kinds of holy food offered to me.
23 Porém não entrará do véu dentro, nem se achegará ao altar, porquanto há falta nele: e não profanará meu santuário, porque eu o SENHOR sou o que os santifico.
But because of their defects, they must not go near the curtain [in the Sacred Tent] or near the altar, because if they did that, they would desecrate my Sacred Tent. I am Yahweh, the one who sets those places apart as being holy.'”
24 E Moisés falou isto a Arão, e a seus filhos, e a todos os filhos de Israel.
So Moses/I told this to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israeli people.
