< Levítico 22 >

1 Yavé habló a Moisés:
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 Dí a Aarón y a sus hijos que se mantengan alejados de las cosas sagradas que los hijos de Israel me dedican, para que no profanen mi santo Nombre. Yo, Yavé.
Give orders to Aaron and to his sons to keep themselves separate from the holy things of the children of Israel which they give to me, and not to make my holy name common: I am the Lord,
3 Diles: Durante sus generaciones, cualquier descendiente suyo que, cuando está impuro, se acerque a las cosas santas que los hijos de Israel consagran a Yavé, será cortado de mi presencia. Yo, Yavé.
Say to them, If any man of all your seed through all your generations, being unclean, comes near the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the Lord, he will be cut off from before me: I am the Lord.
4 Cualquier varón de la descendencia de Aarón que sea leproso o padezca gonorrea, no comerá de las cosas santas hasta cuando esté purificado. También el que toque cualquier cosa impura, o el varón que padezca espermatorrea,
No man of the seed of Aaron who is a leper, or who has a flow from his body, may take of the holy food till he is clean. And any man touching anything which is unclean because of the dead, or any man whose seed goes from him;
5 o el que toque cualquier reptil que lo contamine, o a alguno por el cual quede impuro debido a cualquier impureza en él.
Or anyone touching any unclean thing which goes flat on the earth, or someone by whom he may be made unclean in any way whatever;
6 La persona que lo toque será impura hasta llegar la noche, y no comerá de las cosas santas hasta que haya lavado su cuerpo con agua.
Any person touching any such unclean thing will be unclean till evening, and may not take of the holy food till his flesh has been bathed in water;
7 Al ponerse el sol quedará limpio, y después podrá comer las cosas santas, porque es su alimento.
And when the sun has gone down he will be clean; and after that he may take part in the holy food, because it is his bread.
8 Nada mortecino ni despedazado por fiera comerá, porque será contaminado por ello. Yo, Yavé.
That which comes to a natural death, or is attacked by beasts, he may not take as food, for it will make him unclean: I am the Lord.
9 Guardarán, pues, mi ordenanza, no sea que por ese motivo cometan pecado y mueran por haberla profanado. ¡Yo, Yavé, soy el que los santifico!
So then, let them keep what I have put into their care, for fear that sin may come on them because of it, so causing their death because they have made it common: I am the Lord, who make them holy.
10 Ningún extraño comerá de lo sagrado. Ni el huésped del sacerdote ni el jornalero podrán comer de lo sagrado.
No outside person may take of the holy food, or one living as a guest in the priest's house, or a servant working for payment.
11 Pero si el sacerdote compra una persona con su dinero, ésta podrá comer de ello, y el nacido en su casa podrá comer de su pan.
But any person for whom the priest has given money, to make him his, may take of it with him; and those who come to birth in his house may take of his bread.
12 Si la hija del sacerdote se casa con un varón extraño, no podrá comer de la ofrenda alzada de las cosas santas.
And if the daughter of a priest is married to an outside person she may not take of the holy things which are lifted up as offerings.
13 Pero si la hija del sacerdote queda viuda o repudiada, y no tiene descendencia, y vuelve a la casa de su padre como en su juventud, podrá comer del pan de su padre. Sin embargo ningún extraño comerá de él.
But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or parted from her husband, and has no child, and has come back to her father's house as when she was a girl, she may take of her father's bread; but no outside person may do so.
14 El que por equivocación coma una cosa sagrada, restituirá la cosa sagrada al sacerdote y añadirá a ella la quinta parte.
And if a man takes the holy food in error, he will have to give the holy thing back to the priest, with the addition of a fifth part.
15 No profanarán, pues, las cosas sagradas que los hijos de Israel ofrecen a Yavé.
And they may not make common the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord,
16 Hagan que la culpabilidad recaiga sobre el extraño que coma de sus cosas consagradas, porque Yo soy Yavé, Quien los santifica.
So causing sin to come on them when they take their holy things for food: I am the Lord who make them holy.
17 Yavé habló a Moisés:
And the Lord said to Moses,
18 Habla a Aarón, a sus hijos y a todos los hijos de Israel: Si alguno de la casa de Israel o de los extranjeros en Israel que presente su ofrenda, ya sea ofrenda votiva u ofrenda voluntaria, la cual presenta a Yavé como holocausto,
Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or of another nation living in Israel, makes an offering, given because of an oath or freely given to the Lord for a burned offering;
19 para que sea aceptada tendrá que ser un macho sin defecto de la manada de vacunos, de las ovejas o de las cabras.
So that it may be pleasing to the Lord, let him give a male, without any mark, from among the oxen or the sheep or the goats.
20 No ofrecerán algún animal con defecto, pues no les será aceptado.
But anything which has a mark you may not give; it will not make you pleasing to the Lord.
21 Cuando alguno ofrezca un sacrificio de paz a Yavé, ya sea para cumplir un voto o como ofrenda voluntaria, tendrá que ser sin defecto para que sea aceptado, sea del ganado vacuno o del rebaño. No habrá defecto en él.
And whoever makes a peace-offering to the Lord, in payment of an oath or as a free offering, from the herd or the flock, if it is to be pleasing to the Lord, let it be free from any mark or damage.
22 [El animal] ciego, perniquebrado, mutilado, verrugoso, sarnoso o que tenga erupciones, no lo ofrecerás a Yavé como holocausto en el altar de Yavé.
Anything blind or broken or damaged or having any disease or any mark on it may not be offered to the Lord; you may not make an offering of it by fire on the altar to the Lord.
23 Podrás ofrecer un becerro o un carnero deforme como ofrenda voluntaria, pero no será aceptado como ofrenda votiva.
An ox or a lamb which has more or less than its natural parts, may be given as a free offering; but it will not be taken in payment of an oath.
24 No ofrecerán a Yavé animal que tenga los testículos aplastados, magullados, rasgados o cortados. No harán esto en su tierra.
An animal which has its sex parts damaged or crushed or broken or cut, may not be offered to the Lord; such a thing may not be done anywhere in your land.
25 Ni aun de extranjeros tomarás esos animales para ofrecerlos como alimento a tu ʼElohim, porque la deformidad está en ellos. Hay en ellos defecto. No les serán aceptados.
And from one who is not an Israelite you may not take any of these for an offering to the Lord; for they are unclean, there is a mark on them, and the Lord will not be pleased with them.
26 Yavé habló a Moisés:
And the Lord said to Moses,
27 Cuando nazca un becerro, un cordero o un cabrito, estará con su madre siete días, pero desde el octavo día será aceptado como un holocausto a Yavé.
When an ox or a sheep or a goat is given birth, let it be with its mother for seven days; and after the eighth day it may be taken as an offering made by fire to the Lord.
28 Pero no degollarán una vaca o una oveja junto con su cría el mismo día.
A cow or a sheep may not be put to death with its young on the same day.
29 Cuando ofrezcan sacrificio de acción de gracias a Yavé, lo sacrificarán de tal manera que sea aceptado.
And when you make an offering of praise to the Lord, make it in a way which is pleasing to him.
30 Se comerá el mismo día. Nada de él dejarán hasta la mañana. Yo, Yavé.
Let it be used for food on the same day; do not keep any part of it till the morning: I am the Lord.
31 Observarán mis Mandamientos y los practicarán. Yo, Yavé.
So then, keep my orders and do them: I am the Lord.
32 No profanarán mi santo Nombre, pues Yo seré santificado en medio de los hijos de Israel. Yo soy Yavé, Quien los santifica,
And do not make my holy name common; so that it may be kept holy by the children of Israel: I am the Lord who make you holy,
33 el que los sacó de la tierra de Egipto para ser su ʼElohim. ¡Yo, Yavé!
Who took you out of the land of Egypt that I might be your God: I am the Lord.
