Levítico 22
1 Yavé habló a Moisés:
The Lord also spoke to Moses saying:
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.
Speak to Aaron and to his sons, so that they may be careful of those things which have been consecrated for the sons of Israel, and so that they may not contaminate the name of the things sanctified to me, which they offer. 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 and to their posterity: Every man of your stock, who approaches toward those things which have been consecrated, and which the sons of Israel have brought forward to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall perish before the Lord. 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,
The man of the offspring of Aaron, who is a leper or who is suffering a flow of seed, shall not eat of those things which have been sanctified to me, until he is healed. Whoever will have touched what is unclean because of the dead, and he whose seed goes out from him, as if from sexual intercourse,
5 o el que toque cualquier reptil que lo contamine, o a alguno por el cual quede impuro debido a cualquier impureza en él.
and whoever has touched a creeping thing, or any kind of unclean thing, the touching of which is filthy,
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.
shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat those things which have been sanctified. But when he has washed his flesh with water,
7 Al ponerse el sol quedará limpio, y después podrá comer las cosas santas, porque es su alimento.
and the sun has set, then, having been purified, he shall eat from what has been sanctified, because it is his food.
8 Nada mortecino ni despedazado por fiera comerá, porque será contaminado por ello. Yo, Yavé.
Whatever dies on its own, and whatever has been seized by a wild beast, they shall not eat, nor shall they be polluted by these. 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!
Let them observe my precepts, so that they may not fall under sin, and die in the Sanctuary, when they will have defiled it. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.
10 Ningún extraño comerá de lo sagrado. Ni el huésped del sacerdote ni el jornalero podrán comer de lo sagrado.
No foreigner shall eat from what has been sanctified; a guest of the priests and a hired servant shall not eat from them.
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 whomever the priest has bought, and whoever has been born into his house, these shall eat from them.
12 Si la hija del sacerdote se casa con un varón extraño, no podrá comer de la ofrenda alzada de las cosas santas.
If the daughter of a priest has been married to any of the people, she shall not eat from what has been sanctified, nor from the first-fruits.
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 she is a widow or divorced, and, being without children, she returns to her father’s house, she shall be nourished by her father’s foods, just as she was accustomed to do as a girl. No foreigner shall have the authority to eat from them.
14 El que por equivocación coma una cosa sagrada, restituirá la cosa sagrada al sacerdote y añadirá a ella la quinta parte.
Whoever, through ignorance, eats from what has been sanctified shall add a fifth part to that which he ate, and he shall give it to the priest at the Sanctuary.
15 No profanarán, pues, las cosas sagradas que los hijos de Israel ofrecen a Yavé.
And they shall not contaminate what has been sanctified from the sons of Israel, which they offer 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.
lest perhaps they may suffer the iniquity of their offense, when they will have eaten what has been sanctified. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.
17 Yavé habló a Moisés:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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,
Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man from the house of Israel, or from the newcomers who live with you, who would bring forward his oblation, either fulfilling his vows or offering spontaneously, whatever he brings forward as a holocaust for the Lord,
19 para que sea aceptada tendrá que ser un macho sin defecto de la manada de vacunos, de las ovejas o de las cabras.
in order to be offered through you, shall offer an immaculate male from the oxen, or from the sheep, or from the goats.
20 No ofrecerán algún animal con defecto, pues no les será aceptado.
If it has a blemish, you shall not offer it, and it shall not be acceptable.
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.
The man who will have offered a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, either fulfilling his vows or offering spontaneously, whether of oxen, or of sheep, shall offer what is immaculate, so that it may be acceptable. There shall be no blemish in it.
22 [El animal] ciego, perniquebrado, mutilado, verrugoso, sarnoso o que tenga erupciones, no lo ofrecerás a Yavé como holocausto en el altar de Yavé.
If it is blind, or if it is broken, or if it has a scar, or if it is has a boil, or a skin disease or infection, you shall not offer these to the Lord, nor shall you burn any of these upon the altar of 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 sheep, having an amputated ear or tail, you are able to offer voluntarily, but a vow is not able to be fulfilled by these.
24 No ofrecerán a Yavé animal que tenga los testículos aplastados, magullados, rasgados o cortados. No harán esto en su tierra.
You shall not offer to the Lord any animal which has the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away, and you shall not cause any of these things 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.
From the hand of a foreigner, you shall not offer bread to your God, nor anything else that he would choose to give; for all this has been corrupted and blemished. You shall not accept them.
26 Yavé habló a Moisés:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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.
An ox, a sheep, or a goat, when they have been born, shall be under the udder of their mother for seven days. But on the eighth day and thereafter, they are able to be offered to the Lord.
28 Pero no degollarán una vaca o una oveja junto con su cría el mismo día.
Whether it is an ox, or a sheep, they shall not be immolated on the same day with their newborns.
29 Cuando ofrezcan sacrificio de acción de gracias a Yavé, lo sacrificarán de tal manera que sea aceptado.
If you immolate a victim as an act of thanksgiving to the Lord, so that he may be pleased,
30 Se comerá el mismo día. Nada de él dejarán hasta la mañana. Yo, Yavé.
you shall eat it on the same day; none of it shall remain until morning on the next day. I am the Lord.
31 Observarán mis Mandamientos y los practicarán. Yo, Yavé.
Observe my commandments, 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,
Do not pollute my holy name, so that I may be sanctified in the midst of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord, who sanctifies you,
33 el que los sacó de la tierra de Egipto para ser su ʼElohim. ¡Yo, Yavé!
and who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I may be to you as God. I am the Lord.
