Levítico 10
1 Nadab y Abiú, hijos de Aarón, tomaron cada uno su incensario, pusieron fuego en él y colocaron incienso, y ofrecieron delante de Yahvé un fuego extraño que él no les había mandado.
[Two of] Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took the pans in which they burned incense. They put some burning coals in them and put incense on top of the coals, but this fire was not acceptable [to Yahweh] because it was not the kind that he had commanded them to burn.
2 Salió fuego de delante de Yahvé y los devoró, y murieron delante de Yahvé.
So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.
3 Entonces Moisés le dijo a Aarón: “Esto es lo que habló Yahvé, diciendo, Me mostraré santo a los que se acerquen a mí, y ante todo el pueblo seré glorificado”. Aarón calló.
Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “That is what Yahweh predicted. He said, ‘Those priests who come near to me, I will show them that they must (respect me/treat me as being holy); in the presence of all the people I am the one who must be honored.’” But Aaron said nothing.
4 Moisés llamó a Misael y a Elzafán, hijos de Uziel, tío de Aarón, y les dijo: “Acérquense y saquen a sus hermanos de delante del santuario fuera del campamento.”
Then Moses/I summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, who were the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Take [the corpses of] your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the Sacred Tent.”
5 Se acercaron, pues, y los llevaron en sus túnicas fuera del campamento, como Moisés había dicho.
So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].
6 Moisés dijo a Aarón, a Eleazar y a Itamar, sus hijos: “No os soltéis el pelo de la cabeza, ni os rasguéis las vestiduras, para que no muráis, y para que no se enoje con toda la congregación; pero que vuestros hermanos, toda la casa de Israel, se lamenten por el fuego que Yahvé ha encendido.
Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his [other two] sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “[You are sad because Nadab and Abihu died, but you must act like you always do]. Do not allow the hair on your [heads] to remain uncombed, and do not tear your clothes. But your relatives and all your fellow Israelis are allowed to mourn for those whom Yahweh destroyed by fire.
7 No saldrás de la puerta de la Tienda del Encuentro, para que no mueras, porque el aceite de la unción de Yahvé está sobre ti.” Ellos hicieron lo que dijo Moisés.
But you must not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because if you do that, you also will die, and Yahweh will punish [MTY] all the people of Israel. Do not forget that Yahweh has set you apart [MTY] to work for him here, [and he does not want you to become defiled by touching a corpse].” So they did what Moses/I told them to do.
8 Entonces Yahvé le dijo a Aarón:
Then Yahweh said to Aaron,
9 “Tú y tus hijos no deben beber vino ni bebida fuerte cada vez que entren en la Tienda del Encuentro, o morirán. Esto será un estatuto para siempre a lo largo de vuestras generaciones.
“You and your [two] sons [who are still alive] must not drink wine or other fermented drinks before you enter the Sacred Tent; if you do that, you will die. That is a command that you and your descendants must obey forever.
10 Debes distinguir entre lo santo y lo común, y entre lo inmundo y lo limpio.
You must do that in order to learn what things are holy and what things are (not holy/common), and [from the things that are not holy] you must learn what things are acceptable to me and what things are not.
11 Enseñarás a los hijos de Israel todos los estatutos que Yahvé les ha dicho por medio de Moisés.”
And you must teach to the Israeli people all the laws that I gave to the Israeli people by telling them to Moses.”
12 Moisés dijo a Aarón, a Eleazar y a Itamar, sus hijos que habían quedado: “Tomad la ofrenda que queda de las ofrendas encendidas a Yahvé, y comedla sin levadura junto al altar, porque es santísima;
Moses/I said to Aaron and his two sons who were still alive, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the offering made from grain that is left after a portion of it has been offered to Yahweh to be burned, and eat it alongside the altar. [It should not be eaten elsewhere], because it is very holy.
13 y la comeréis en lugar santo, porque es vuestra porción y la de vuestros hijos, de las ofrendas encendidas a Yahvé; porque así me ha sido ordenado.
Eat it in a holy place; it is the share for you and your sons from the offerings that were burned; I have commanded that it be your share.
14 El pecho de la ofrenda mecida y el muslo elevado los comeréis en un lugar limpio, tú, tus hijos y tus hijas contigo, porque son dados como tu porción y la de tus hijos, de los sacrificios de las ofrendas de paz de los hijos de Israel.
But you and your sons and daughters are permitted to eat the breast and the thigh that were lifted up in front of Yahweh. Eat them in any place that is (holy/acceptable to him). They have been given to you and your descendants as your share of the offerings to enable the Israelis to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh].
15 Traerán el muslo elevado y el pecho mecido con las ofrendas encendidas de la grasa, para mecerlo como ofrenda mecida ante Yahvé. Será de ustedes, y de sus hijos con ustedes, como porción para siempre, como lo ha ordenado Yahvé”.
The thigh and the breast that were lifted up in front of Yahweh must be brought with the portions of fat to be burned, to be lifted up in his presence. They will be the regular share for you and your descendants, as Yahweh has commanded.”
16 Moisés indagó diligentemente sobre el macho cabrío de la ofrenda por el pecado, y, he aquí, fue quemado. Se enojó con Eleazar y con Itamar, los hijos de Aarón que habían quedado, diciendo:
When Moses/I inquired about the goat that had been sacrificed to enable the people to be forgiven by Yahweh for the sins they had committed, he/I found out that it had been completely burned. So he/I was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar and asked them,
17 “¿Por qué no habéis comido la ofrenda por el pecado en el lugar del santuario, ya que es santísima, y él os la ha dado para que carguéis con la iniquidad de la congregación, para hacer expiación por ellos ante Yahvé?
“Why did you not eat near the Sacred Tent the meat of the offering for sin? It was very holy, and it was given to you to enable the Israeli people to no longer be guilty for their sins and to be forgiven for their sins.
18 He aquí que su sangre no fue llevada al interior del santuario. Ciertamente debisteis comerlo en el santuario, como yo lo ordené”.
Since its blood was not taken into the holy place inside the Sacred Tent, you should have eaten the [meat of] the goat near the Sacred Tent, as I commanded.”
19 Aarón habló a Moisés: “He aquí que hoy han ofrecido su ofrenda por el pecado y su holocausto ante Yahvé, y me han sucedido cosas como éstas. Si yo hubiera comido hoy la ofrenda por el pecado, ¿habría sido agradable a los ojos de Yahvé?”
Aaron replied to Moses/me, “Today the people brought to Yahweh their offering to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, and the offering to be completely burned, [and surely that pleased Yahweh], but [think about the terrible thing] that happened to my other two sons! Would [RHQ] Yahweh have been pleased if I had eaten some of the offering to cause the people to become acceptable to God?”
20 Cuando Moisés lo oyó, le pareció bien.
When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
