Levítico 22
1 Yavé habló a Moisés:
Yahweh 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, tell them to keep away from the holy things of the people of Israel, which they set apart to me. They must not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.
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 of your descendants throughout your generations approaches the holy things that the people of Israel have set apart to Yahweh, while he is unclean, that person must be cut off from before me: I am Yahweh.
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,
None of the descendants of Aaron who has an infectious skin disease, or an infection flowing from his body, may eat any of the sacrifices made to Yahweh until he is clean. Whoever touches anything unclean through contact with the dead, or by contact with a man who has a flow of semen,
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 whoever touches any creeping animal that makes him unclean, or any person who makes him unclean, whatever kind of uncleanness it may be—
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.
then the priest who touches anything unclean will be unclean until evening. He must not eat any of the holy things, unless he has bathed his body in water.
7 Al ponerse el sol quedará limpio, y después podrá comer las cosas santas, porque es su alimento.
When the sun has set, he will then be clean. After sunset he may eat from the holy things, because they are his food.
8 Nada mortecino ni despedazado por fiera comerá, porque será contaminado por ello. Yo, Yavé.
He must not eat anything found dead or killed by wild animals, by which he would defile himself. I am Yahweh.
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!
The priests must follow my instructions, or they will be guilty of sin and could die for profaning me. I am Yahweh who makes them holy.
10 Ningún extraño comerá de lo sagrado. Ni el huésped del sacerdote ni el jornalero podrán comer de lo sagrado.
No one outside the priest's family, including guests of a priest or his hired servants, may eat anything that is holy.
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 if a priest buys any slave with his own money, that slave may eat from the things set apart to Yahweh. The priest's family members and slaves born in his house, they also may eat with him from those things.
12 Si la hija del sacerdote se casa con un varón extraño, no podrá comer de la ofrenda alzada de las cosas santas.
If a priest's daughter married someone who is not a priest, she may not eat any of the holy contribution 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 divorced, and if she has no child, and if she returns to live in her father's house as in her youth, she may eat from her father's food. But no one who is not in the priestly family may eat from the priest's food.
14 El que por equivocación coma una cosa sagrada, restituirá la cosa sagrada al sacerdote y añadirá a ella la quinta parte.
If a man eats a holy food without knowing it, then he must repay the priest for it; he must add one-fifth to it and give it back to the priest.
15 No profanarán, pues, las cosas sagradas que los hijos de Israel ofrecen a Yavé.
The people of Israel must not profane the holy things that they have raised high and presented to Yahweh,
16 Hagan que la culpabilidad recaiga sobre el extraño que coma de sus cosas consagradas, porque Yo soy Yavé, Quien los santifica.
and cause themselves to carry the sin that would make them guilty of eating the holy food, for I am Yahweh who makes them holy.'”
17 Yavé habló a Moisés:
Yahweh 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 his sons, and to all the people of Israel. Say to them, 'Any Israelite, or an alien living in Israel, when they present a sacrifice—whether it is to fulfill a vow, or whether it is a freewill offering, or they present to Yahweh a burnt 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.
if it is to be accepted, they must offer a male animal without blemish from the cattle, sheep, or goats.
20 No ofrecerán algún animal con defecto, pues no les será aceptado.
But you must not offer whatever has a blemish. I will not accept it on your behalf.
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.
Whoever offers a sacrifice of fellowship offerings from the herd or the flock to Yahweh to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering, it must be unblemished to be accepted. There must be no defect in the animal.
22 [El animal] ciego, perniquebrado, mutilado, verrugoso, sarnoso o que tenga erupciones, no lo ofrecerás a Yavé como holocausto en el altar de Yavé.
You must not offer animals that are blind, disabled, or maimed, or that have warts, sores, or scabs. You must not offer these to Yahweh as a sacrifice by fire on the altar.
23 Podrás ofrecer un becerro o un carnero deforme como ofrenda voluntaria, pero no será aceptado como ofrenda votiva.
You may present as a freewill offering an ox or a lamb that is deformed or small, but an offering like that will not be accepted for a vow.
24 No ofrecerán a Yavé animal que tenga los testículos aplastados, magullados, rasgados o cortados. No harán esto en su tierra.
Do not offer any animal to Yahweh that has bruised, crushed, torn, or cut testicles. Do not do this within 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.
You must not present the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner. Those animals are deformed and have defects in them, they will not be accepted for you.'”
26 Yavé habló a Moisés:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
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 a calf or a sheep or a goat is born, it must remain seven days with its mother. Then from the eighth day on, it may be accepted as a sacrifice for an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
28 Pero no degollarán una vaca o una oveja junto con su cría el mismo día.
Do not kill a cow or ewe along with its young, both on the same day.
29 Cuando ofrezcan sacrificio de acción de gracias a Yavé, lo sacrificarán de tal manera que sea aceptado.
When you sacrifice a thank offering to Yahweh, you must sacrifice it in an acceptable way.
30 Se comerá el mismo día. Nada de él dejarán hasta la mañana. Yo, Yavé.
It must be eaten on the same day that it is sacrificed. You must leave none of it until the next morning. I am Yahweh.
31 Observarán mis Mandamientos y los practicarán. Yo, Yavé.
So you must keep my commandments and carry them out. I am Yahweh.
32 No profanarán mi santo Nombre, pues Yo seré santificado en medio de los hijos de Israel. Yo soy Yavé, Quien los santifica,
You must not profane my holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy by the people of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,
33 el que los sacó de la tierra de Egipto para ser su ʼElohim. ¡Yo, Yavé!
who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am Yahweh.”
