Levítico 22
1 Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
The Lord told Moses,
2 Di á Aarón y á sus hijos, que se abstengan de las santificaciones de los hijos de Israel, y que no profanen mi santo nombre en lo que ellos me santifican: Yo Jehová.
“Tell Aaron and his sons to be dedicated when dealing with the holy offerings that the Israelites have dedicated to me, so that they don't dishonor my holy character. I am the Lord.
3 Diles: Todo varón de toda vuestra simiente en vuestras generaciones que llegare á las cosas sagradas, que los hijos de Israel consagran á Jehová, teniendo inmundicia sobre sí, de delante de mí será cortada su alma: Yo Jehová.
Tell them: These rules apply for all future generations. If any of your descendants in an unclean state comes close to the holy offerings that the Israelites dedicate to honor the Lord, that person must be expelled from my presence. I am the Lord.
4 Cualquier varón de la simiente de Aarón que fuere leproso, ó padeciere flujo, no comerá de las cosas sagradas hasta que esté limpio: y el que tocare cualquiera cosa inmunda de mortecino, ó el varón del cual hubiere salido derramamiento de semen;
If one of Aaron's descendants has a skin disease or a discharge, he is not allowed to eat the holy offerings until he is clean. Anyone who touches anything made unclean by a dead body or by a man who has had a release of semen,
5 O el varón que hubiere tocado cualquier reptil, por el cual será inmundo, ú hombre por el cual venga á ser inmundo, conforme á cualquiera inmundicia suya;
or anyone who touches an unclean animal or an unclean person, (whatever the uncleanness is),
6 La persona que lo tocare, será inmunda hasta la tarde, y no comerá de las cosas sagradas antes que haya lavado su carne con agua.
anyone who touches anything like this will remain unclean until evening. He is not allowed to eat from the holy offerings unless he has washed himself with water.
7 Y cuando el sol se pusiere, será limpio; y después comerá las cosas sagradas, porque su pan es.
At sunset he will become clean, and then he is allowed to eat from the holy offerings because they provide his food.
8 Mortecino ni despedazado por fiera no comerá, para contaminarse en ello: Yo Jehová.
He must not eat anything that's died, or killed by wild animals, because that would make him unclean. I am the Lord.
9 Guarden, pues, mi ordenanza, y no lleven pecado por ello, no sea que así mueran cuando la profanaren: Yo Jehová que los santifico.
The priests must do as I demand, so that they don't become guilty and die because they have not done so, treating my requirements with contempt. I am the Lord who makes them holy.
10 Ningún extraño comerá cosa sagrada; el huésped del sacerdote, ni el jornalero, no comerá cosa sagrada.
Anyone who isn't part of a priest's family is not allowed eat the holy offerings. This also applies to a priest's guest or his paid worker.
11 Mas el sacerdote, cuando comprare persona de su dinero, ésta comerá de ella, y el nacido en su casa: éstos comerán de su pan.
However, if a priest uses his own money to buy a slave, or if a slave is born in the priest's household, then that slave is allowed to eat his food.
12 Empero la hija del sacerdote, cuando se casare con varón extraño, ella no comerá de la ofrenda de las cosas sagradas.
If the priest's daughter gets married to a man who isn't a priest, she is not allowed to eat the holy offerings.
13 Pero si la hija del sacerdote fuere viuda, ó repudiada, y no tuviere prole, y se hubiere vuelto á la casa de su padre, como en su mocedad, comerá del pan de su padre; mas ningún extraño coma de él.
But if a priest's daughter without children is widowed or divorced and goes back to her father's house, she is allowed to eat her father's food as she did when she was growing up. But no one outside the priest's family can eat it.
14 Y el que por yerro comiere cosa sagrada, añadirá á ella su quinto, y darálo al sacerdote con la cosa sagrada.
Anyone who eats a holy offering by mistake must pay compensation by adding a fifth to its value, and give it all to the priest.
15 No profanarán, pues, las cosas santas de los hijos de Israel, las cuales apartan para Jehová:
The priests must not make the holy offerings the Israelites present to the Lord unclean
16 Y [no] les harán llevar la iniquidad del pecado, comiendo las cosas santas de ellos: porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.
by allowing the people to eat them and in so doing take upon themselves the punishment for guilt. For I am the Lord who makes them holy.”
17 Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
The Lord told Moses,
18 Habla á Aarón y á sus hijos, y á todos los hijos de Israel, y diles: Cualquier varón de la casa de Israel, ó de los extranjeros en Israel, que ofreciere su ofrenda por todos sus votos, y por todas sus voluntarias oblaciones que ofrecieren á Jehová en holocausto;
“Tell Aaron, his sons and all the Israelites: If you or foreigner living with you wants to make a gift as a burnt offering to the Lord, whether it's to fulfill a promise or as a freewill offering, this is what you are to do.
19 De vuestra voluntad [ofreceréis] macho sin defecto de entre las vacas, de entre los corderos, ó de entre las cabras.
If it is to be accepted on your behalf you must offer a male without defects from the herds of cattle, sheep, or goats.
20 Ninguna cosa en que haya falta ofreceréis, porque no será acepto por vosotros.
Don't present anything with a defect because it won't be accepted on your behalf.
21 Asimismo, cuando alguno ofreciere sacrificio de paces á Jehová para presentar voto, ú ofreciendo voluntariamente, sea de vacas ó de ovejas, sin tacha será acepto; no ha de haber en él falta.
If you want to present a peace offering to the Lord from the herd or flock to fulfill a promise or as a freewill offering, in order to be acceptable the animal must be perfect, completely without defects.
22 Ciego, ó perniquebrado, ó mutilado, ó verrugoso, ó sarnoso, ó roñoso, no ofreceréis éstos á Jehová, ni de ellos pondréis ofrenda encendida sobre el altar de Jehová.
Don't present to the Lord an animal that is blind, injured, or damaged in some way, or has warts, skin sores, or scabs. Don't place any animal that has these on the altar as a food offering to the Lord.
23 Buey ó carnero que tenga de más ó de menos, podrás ofrecer por ofrenda voluntaria; mas por voto no será acepto.
However, you can present a freewill offering of a bull or sheep that has a leg that is too long or too short, but not if it is a sacrifice to fulfill a promise.
24 Herido ó magullado, rompido ó cortado, no ofreceréis á Jehová, ni en vuestra tierra lo haréis.
Don't present to the Lord an animal with testicles that are accidentally or deliberately damaged. You are not allowed to sacrifice any of these damaged animals in your land.
25 Y de mano de hijo de extranjero no ofreceréis el pan de vuestro Dios de todas estas cosas; porque su corrupción está en ellas: hay en ellas falta, no se os aceptarán.
Nor are you allowed to accept such animals from a foreigner to be damaged and defective.”
26 Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
The Lord told Moses,
27 El buey, ó el cordero, ó la cabra, cuando naciere, siete días estará mamando de su madre: mas desde el octavo día en adelante será acepto para ofrenda de sacrificio encendido á Jehová.
“When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it must stay with its mother for seven days. After eight days it can be accepted as a food offering to the Lord.
28 Y sea buey ó carnero, no degollaréis en un día á él y á su hijo.
However, don't kill a bull or a sheep and its young on the same day.
29 Y cuando sacrificareis sacrificio de hacimiento de gracias á Jehová, de vuestra voluntad lo sacrificaréis.
When you present a thank offering to the Lord, make sure to do so in a way that it will be accepted on your behalf.
30 En el mismo día se comerá; no dejaréis de él para otro día: Yo Jehová.
It has to be eaten on the same day. Don't leave any of it until morning. I am the Lord.
31 Guardad pues mis mandamientos, y ejecutadlos: Yo Jehová.
Keep my rules and put them into practice. I am the Lord.
32 Y no amancilléis mi santo nombre, y yo me santificaré en medio de los hijos de Israel: Yo Jehová que os santifico;
Don't disgrace my holy character. I must be accepted as holy by you. I am the Lord who makes you holy.
33 Que os saqué de la tierra de Egipto, para ser vuestro Dios: Yo Jehová.
I am the one who led you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord.”
