Левит 21
1 И рече Господь к Моисею, глаголя: рцы жерцем сыном Аароним, и речеши им: над душами да не осквернятся в языце своем,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them,
2 но разве в дому ближняго своего, над отцем и материю, и сынами и дщерьми, над братом
‘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 и над сестрою своею девою, яже есть ближняя ему, не дана мужу, над сими да осквернятся:
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 да не осквернится внезапу в людех своих, во осквернение свое.
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 И да не обриете главы по мертвем, и обличия брады да не обриют, и на плотех своих да не сотворят язв:
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 святи да будут Богу своему и не осквернят имене Бога своего: жертвы бо Господни дары Бога своего сами приносят, и будут святи.
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 Жены блудницы и осквернены да не поймут, и жены изгнаныя от мужа ея да не поймут: яко святи суть Господу Богу своему:
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 и да освятиши его: дары Господа Бога вашего сей приносит, свят будет: яко свят Аз есмь Господь Бог ваш освящая их.
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 И дщерь человека жерца аще осквернится, еже соблудити, имя отца своего сия оскверняет: огнем да сожжется.
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 И жрец великий от братий своих, емуже возлиян на главу елей помазания, и совершенный, еже облачитися в ризы, главы да не открыет, и риз своих да не раздерет,
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 и ко всякой души умершей да не приидет: над отцем своим и над материю своею да не осквернится,
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 и от святых да не изыдет, и да не осквернит имене святаго Бога своего, яко святый елей помазания Бога его на нем: Аз Господь.
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 Сей в жену деву от рода своего да поймет:
Women whom you priests marry must be virgins.
14 вдовицы же и изгнаныя, и оскверненыя и блудницы, сих да не поймет: но девицу от племене своего да поймет в жену:
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 и да не осквернит семене своего в людех своих: Аз Господь Бог освящаяй его.
16 И рече Господь к Моисею, глаголя:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
17 рцы ко Аарону, глаголя: человек от рода твоего в родех ваших, аще коему будет на нем порок, да не приступит приносити дары Бога своего:
“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 всяк человек, емуже аще будет на нем порок, да не приступит: человек слеп, или хром, или корносый, или ухорезан,
No one who is blind or lame or deformed, or whose [face is] disfigured,
19 или человек, емуже есть сокрушение руки или сокрушение ноги,
no man with a crippled foot or a crippled hand,
20 или горбат, или гноеточив очима, или бельмоочен, или человек, на немже суть красты дивия, или лишаи, или единоятрный:
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 всяк, емуже аще будет на нем порок от семене Аарона жерца, да не приступит принести жертв Богу твоему, зане порок на нем: даров Божиих да не приступит приносити:
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 дары Бога своего святая святых, и от святых да снест:
Priests who have defects are permitted to eat the various kinds of holy food offered to me.
23 обаче к завесе да не приступит, и ко олтарю да не приближится, яко порок имать: и да не осквернит святилища Бога своего, яко Аз Господь освящаяй их.
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 И глагола Моисей ко Аарону и сыном его, и ко всем сыном Израилевым.
So Moses/I told this to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israeli people.
