Levítico 21
1 Y Jehová dijo a Moisés: Habla a los sacerdotes, hijos de Aarón, y díles que por ninguna alma se contaminen en sus pueblos:
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the priests, the sons of Aaron, Let no man make himself unclean for the dead among his people;
2 Mas por su pariente cercano a sí, como por su madre, o por su padre, o por su hijo, o por su hija, o por su hermano,
But only for his near relations, for his mother or his father, his son or his daughter, and his brother;
3 O por su hermana virgen cercana a sí, que no haya tenido varón, por ella se contaminará.
And for his sister, a virgin, for she is his near relation and has had no husband, he may make himself unclean.
4 No se contaminará por el príncipe en sus pueblos ensuciándose.
But let him, being a chief among his people, not make himself unclean in such a way as to put shame on himself.
5 No harán calva en su cabeza, ni raerán la punta de su barba, ni en su carne harán rasguño.
They are not to have their hair cut off for the dead, or the hair on their chins cut short, or make cuts in their flesh.
6 Santos serán a su Dios, y no ensuciarán el nombre de su Dios, porque los fuegos de Jehová, el pan de su Dios ofrecen, por tanto serán santos.
Let them be holy to their God and not make the name of their God common; for the fire offerings of the Lord and the bread of their God are offered by them, and they are to be holy.
7 Mujer ramera, o infame no tomarán: ni tomarán mujer repudiada de su marido: porque es santo a su Dios.
They may not take as wife a loose or common woman, or one who has been put away by her husband: for the priest is holy to his God.
8 Y santificarle has, porque el pan de tu Dios ofrece: santo será a ti, porque santo soy yo Jehová vuestro santificador.
And he is to be holy in your eyes, for by him the bread of your God is offered; he is to be holy in your eyes, for I the Lord, who make you holy, am holy.
9 Ítem, la hija del varón sacerdote, cuando comenzare a fornicar, a su padre contamina, será quemada en fuego.
And if the daughter of a priest makes herself common and by her loose behaviour puts shame on her father, let her be burned with fire.
10 Ítem, el sumo sacerdote entre sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fue derramado el aceite de la unción, y que hinchió su mano para vestir las vestiduras, no descubrirá su cabeza, ni romperá sus vestidos.
And he who is the chief priest among his brothers, on whose head the holy oil has been put, who is marked out to put on the holy robes, may not let his hair go loose or have his clothing out of order as a sign of sorrow.
11 Ni entrará a ninguna persona muerta, ni por su padre, o por su madre se contaminará.
He may not go near any dead body or make himself unclean for his father or his mother;
12 Ni saldrá del santuario, ni ensuciará el santuario de su Dios; porque la corona del aceite de la unción de su Dios está sobre él: Yo Jehová.
He may not go out of the holy place or make the holy place of his God common; for the crown of the holy oil of his God is on him: I am the Lord.
13 Ítem, él tomará mujer con su virginidad.
And let him take as his wife one who has not had relations with a man.
14 Viuda, o repudiada, o infame, o ramera, estas no tomará: mas virgen tomará de sus pueblos: por mujer.
A widow, or one whose husband has put her away, or a common woman of loose behaviour, may not be the wife of a priest; but let him take a virgin from among his people.
15 Y no ensuciará su simiente en sus pueblos: porque yo Jehová soy el que le santifico.
And he may not make his seed unclean among his people, for I the Lord have made him holy.
16 Ítem, Jehová habló a Moisés, diciendo:
And the Lord said to Moses,
17 Habla a Aarón, y díle: El varón de tu simiente en sus generaciones, en el cual hubiere falta, no se allegará para ofrecer el pan de su Dios:
Say to Aaron, If a man of your family, in any generation, is damaged in body, let him not come near to make the offering of the bread of his God.
18 Porque ningún varón, en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará: varón ciego, o cojo, o falto, o sobrado de nariz,
For any man whose body is damaged may not come near: one who is blind, or has not the use of his legs, or one who has a broken nose or any unnatural growth,
19 O varón en el cual hubiere quebradura de pie, o quebradura de mano:
Or a man with broken feet or hands,
20 O corcobado, o lagañoso, o que tuviere nube en el ojo, o que tuviere sarna, o empeine, o compañón quebrado.
Or one whose back is bent, or one who is unnaturally small, or one who has a damaged eye, or whose skin is diseased, or whose sex parts are damaged;
21 Ningún varón de la simiente de Aarón sacerdote, en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará para ofrecer las ofrendas encendidas de Jehová. ¿ Hay falta en él? no se allegará a ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
No man of the offspring of Aaron whose body is damaged in any way may come near to give the fire offerings of the Lord: he is damaged, he may not come near to make the offerings.
22 El pan de su Dios de las santidades de santidades, y las cosas santificadas comerá.
He may take of the bread of God, the holy and the most holy;
23 Empero no entrará del velo adentro, ni se allegará al altar, por cuanto hay falta en él: y no ensuciará mi santuario, porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.
But he may not go inside the veil or come near the altar, because he is damaged; and he may not make my holy places common; for I the Lord have made them holy.
24 Y Moisés habló a Aarón, y a sus hijos, y a todos los hijos de Israel.
These are the words which Moses said to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel.
