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:
The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself 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,
except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,
3 O por su hermana virgen cercana a sí, que no haya tenido varón, por ella se contaminará.
and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
4 No se contaminará por el príncipe en sus pueblos ensuciándose.
He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 No harán calva en su cabeza, ni raerán la punta de su barba, ni en su carne harán rasguño.
“‘They shall not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings 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.
They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God, for they offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the bread of their God. Therefore they shall be holy.
7 Mujer ramera, o infame no tomarán: ni tomarán mujer repudiada de su marido: porque es santo a su Dios.
“‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane. A priest shall not marry a woman divorced from her husband; for he 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.
Therefore you shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy.
9 Ítem, la hija del varón sacerdote, cuando comenzare a fornicar, a su padre contamina, será quemada en fuego.
“‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall 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.
“‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, or tear his clothes.
11 Ni entrará a ninguna persona muerta, ni por su padre, o por su madre se contaminará.
He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father or for 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 shall not go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am the LORD.
13 Ítem, él tomará mujer con su virginidad.
“‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 Viuda, o repudiada, o infame, o ramera, estas no tomará: mas virgen tomará de sus pueblos: por mujer.
He shall not marry a widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. He shall take a virgin of his own people as a wife.
15 Y no ensuciará su simiente en sus pueblos: porque yo Jehová soy el que le santifico.
He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.’”
16 Ítem, Jehová habló a Moisés, diciendo:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer 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 whatever man he is that has a defect, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,
19 O varón en el cual hubiere quebradura de pie, o quebradura de mano:
or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
20 O corcobado, o lagañoso, o que tuviere nube en el ojo, o que tuviere sarna, o empeine, o compañón quebrado.
or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.
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 the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22 El pan de su Dios de las santidades de santidades, y las cosas santificadas comerá.
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the 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.
He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a defect; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
24 Y Moisés habló a Aarón, y a sus hijos, y a todos los hijos de Israel.
So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
