Levitski Zakonik 21
1 Još reèe Gospod Mojsiju: kaži sveštenicima sinovima Aronovijem, i reci im: za mrtvacem da se ne skvrni ni jedan u narodu svojem,
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron [Light-bringer], and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people;
2 Osim za rodom svojim po krvi, za materom svojom ili za ocem svojim ili za sinom svojim ili za kæerju svojom ili za bratom svojim,
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 Ili za roðenom sestrom svojom, djevojkom, koja nije imala muža; za njom se može oskvrniti.
and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
4 Ako je oženjen, da se ne oskvrni za ženom svojom u narodu svojem uèinivši se neèist.
He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 Da se ne naèine æelavi èupajuæi kosu s glave svoje i da ne briju brade svoje, niti se režu po tijelu svojem.
“‘They shall not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 Neka budu sveti Bogu svojemu, i neka ne skvrne imena Boga svojega, jer prinose žrtve ognjene Gospodnje, hljeb Boga svojega, zato neka su sveti.
They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings of Adonai made by fire, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.
7 Neka se ne žene ženom kurvom ili silovanom; ni puštenicom neka se ne žene; jer su sveti Bogu svojemu.
“‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, who has been profaned. They shall not marry a woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to his God.
8 I tebi neka je svaki svet, jer prinosi hljeb Boga tvojega; svet neka ti je, jer sam ja svet, Gospod, koji vas posveæujem.
You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you; for I Adonai, who sanctify you, am holy.
9 A kæi sveštenièka koja se oskvrni kurvajuæi se, skvrni oca svojega, ognjem neka se spali.
“‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire.
10 A sveštenik najviši izmeðu braæe svoje, kojemu se na glavu izlilo ulje pomazanja i koji je posveæen da se oblaèi u svete haljine, neka ne otkriva glave svoje, i haljina svojih neka ne razdire.
“‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, or tear his clothes.
11 I k mrtvacu nijednom neka ne ide, ni za ocem svojim ni za materom svojom da se ne oskvrni.
He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father, or for his mother.
12 I iz svetinje neka ne izlazi, da ne bi oskvrnio svetinju Boga svojega, jer je na njemu vijenac, ulje pomazanja Boga njegova; ja sam Gospod.
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 Adonai.
13 On neka se ženi djevojkom.
“‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 Udovicom ni puštenicom ni silovanom ni kurvom da se ne ženi; nego djevojkom iz naroda svojega neka se oženi.
A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute, these he shall not marry: but a virgin of his own people shall he take as a wife.
15 I neka ne skvrni sjemena svojega u narodu svojem, jer sam ja Gospod, koji ga posveæujem.
He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am Adonai who sanctifies him.’”
16 Opet reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
17 Kaži Aronu i reci: u koga bi iz sjemena tvojega od koljena do koljena bila mana na tijelu, onaj neka ne pristupa da prinosi hljeb Boga svojega.
“Say to Aaron [Light-bringer], ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 Jer niko na kome bi bila mana ne valja da pristupa, ni slijep, ni hrom, ni u koga bi bio koji ud preveæ mali ili preveæ veliki,
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 Ni u koga je slomljena noga ili ruka.
or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
20 Ni grbav, ni drljav, ni ko ima bionu na oku, ni šugav, ni lišajiv, ni prosut.
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 U koga bi god iz sjemena Arona sveštenika bila kaka mana na tijelu, neka ne pristupa da prinosi žrtve ognjene Gospodu; mana je na njemu; da ne pristupa da prinosi hljeb Boga svojega.
No man of the offspring of Aaron [Light-bringer] the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of Adonai made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22 Ali hljeb Boga svojega od stvari presvetih i od stvari svetih neka jede;
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23 Ali za zavjes neka ne ulazi; k oltaru neka se ne približuje, jer je mana na njemu, pa neka ne skvrni svetinje moje, jer sam ja Gospod koji ih posveæujem.
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 M'Kaddesham [Yahweh our Santifier / He sustains breathing who makes them holy].’”
24 I Mojsije kaza to Aronu i sinovima njegovijem i svijem sinovima Izrailjevim.
So Moses [Drawn out] spoke to Aaron [Light-bringer], and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel [God prevails].
