Levítico 21
1 Y JEHOVÁ dijo á Moisés: Habla á los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón, y diles que no se contaminen por un muerto en sus pueblos.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and you shall tell them [that] they shall not defile themselves in their nation for the dead,
2 Mas por su pariente cercano á sí, por su madre, ó por su padre, ó por su hijo, ó por su hermano,
but [they may mourn] for a relative who is very near to them, for a father and mother, and sons and daughters, for a brother,
3 O por su hermana virgen, á él cercana, la cual no haya tenido marido, por ella se contaminará.
and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself.
4 No se contaminará, [porque es] príncipe en sus pueblos, haciéndose inmundo.
He shall not defile himself suddenly 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 rasguños.
And you shall not shave your head for the dead with a baldness on the top; and they shall not shave their beard, neither shall they make gashes on their flesh.
6 Santos serán á su Dios, y no profanarán el nombre de su Dios; porque los fuegos de Jehová y el pan de su Dios ofrecen: por tanto serán santos.
They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for they offer the sacrifices of the Lord as the gifts of their God, and they shall be holy.
7 Mujer ramera ó infame no tomarán: ni tomarán mujer repudiada de su marido: porque es santo á su Dios.
They shall not take a woman who is a harlot and profaned, or a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy to the Lord his God.
8 Lo santificarás por tanto, pues el pan de tu Dios ofrece: santo será para ti, porque santo soy yo Jehová vuestro santificador.
And you shall hallow him; he offers the gifts of the Lord your God: he shall be holy, for I the Lord that sanctify them [am] holy.
9 Y la hija del varón sacerdote, si comenzare á fornicar, á su padre amancilla: quemada será al fuego.
And if the daughter of a priest should be profaned to go a whoring, she profanes the name of her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
10 Y el sumo sacerdote entre sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fué derramado el aceite de la unción, y que hinchió su mano para vestir las vestimentas, no descubrirá su cabeza, ni romperá sus vestidos:
And the priest that is chief among his brethren, the oil having been poured upon the head of the anointed one, and he having been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not take the mitre off his head, and shall not rend his garments:
11 Ni entrará donde haya alguna persona muerta, ni por su padre, ó por su madre se contaminará.
neither shall he go in to any dead body, neither shall he defile himself for his father or his mother.
12 Ni saldrá del santuario, ni contaminará el santuario de su Dios; porque la corona del aceite de la unción de su Dios está sobre él: Yo Jehová.
And he shall not go forth out of the sanctuary, and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, because the holy anointing oil of God [is] upon him: I [am] the Lord.
13 Y tomará él mujer con su virginidad.
He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.
14 Viuda, ó repudiada, ó infame, ó ramera, éstas no tomará: mas tomará virgen de sus pueblos por mujer.
But a widow, or one that is put away, or profaned, or a harlot, these he shall not take; but he shall take for a wife a virgin of his own people.
15 Y no amancillará su simiente en sus pueblos; porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.
And he shall not profane his seed among his people: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies him.
16 Y Jehová habló á Moisés, diciendo:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17 Habla á Aarón, y dile: 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, A man of your tribe throughout your generations, who shall have a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer the gifts of his God.
18 Porque ningún varón en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará: varón ciego, ó cojo, ó falto, ó sobrado,
No man who has a blemish on him shall draw near; a man blind, lame, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut,
19 O varón en el cual hubiere quebradura de pie ó rotura de mano,
a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot,
20 O corcovado, ó lagañoso, ó que tuviere nube en el ojo, ó que tenga sarna, ó empeine, ó compañón relajado;
or humpbacked, or blear-eyed, or that has lost his eye-lashes, or a man who has a malignant ulcer, or tetter, or one that has lost a testicle.
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 á ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
Whoever of the seed of Aaron the priest has a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer sacrifices to your God, because he has a blemish on him; he shall not draw near to offer the gifts of God.
22 El pan de su Dios, de lo muy santo y las cosas santificadas, comerá.
The gifts of God [are] most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things.
23 Empero no entrará del velo adentro, ni se allegará al altar, por cuanto hay falta en él: y no profanará mi santuario, porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.
Only he shall not approach the veil, and he shall not draw near to the altar, because he has a blemish; and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, for I am the Lord that sanctifies them.
24 Y Moisés habló esto á Aarón, y á sus hijos, y á todos los hijos de Israel.
And Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
