Levitico 21
1 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Salitain mo sa mga saserdote na mga anak ni Aaron, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Sinoman ay huwag magpakahawa ng dahil sa patay, sa gitna ng kaniyang bayan,
Yahweh said to Moses: “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, 'No one among you shall make himself unclean for those who die among his people,
2 Maliban sa kamaganak na malapit, sa kaniyang ina at sa kaniyang ama at sa kaniyang anak na lalake at babae, at sa kaniyang kapatid na lalake,
except for his closest relatives—his mother, his father, his son, his daughter, his brother,
3 At sa kaniyang kapatid na dalaga, na malapit sa kaniya, na walang asawa, ay maaring magpakahawa siya.
or his virgin sister who is dependent on him, since she has no husband—for her he may make himself unclean.
4 Yamang puno sa kaniyang bayan, ay huwag siyang magpapakahawa na magpapakarumi.
But he must not make himself unclean for other relatives and so defile himself.
5 Huwag nilang kakalbuhin ang kanilang ulo, o gugupitin man ang dulo ng kanilang balbas, o kukudlitan man ang kanilang laman.
Priests must not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards, nor cut their bodies.
6 Sila'y magpakabanal sa kanilang Dios, at huwag nilang lalapastanganin ang pangalan ng kanilang Dios: sapagka't sila ang naghahandog ng mga handog sa Panginoon na pinaraan sa apoy, na tinapay ng kanilang Dios, kaya't sila'y magpapakabanal.
They must be holy to their God and not disgrace the name of their God, because the priests offer Yahweh's food offerings, the bread of their God. Therefore the priests must be holy.
7 Huwag silang makikisama sa patutot o lapastangan, ni makikisama sa babaing inihiwalay ng kaniyang asawa: sapagka't ang saserdote ay banal sa kaniyang Dios.
They must not marry any woman who is a prostitute and who is defiled, and they must not marry a woman divorced from her husband, for they are separate for their God.
8 Papagbabanalin mo nga siya; sapagka't siya ang naghahandog ng tinapay ng inyong Dios: siya'y magiging banal sa inyo; sapagka't akong Panginoon nagpapaging banal sa inyo ay banal.
You will set him apart, for he is the one who offers bread to your God. He must be holy to you, because I, Yahweh who makes you holy, am holy.
9 At kung ang anak na babae ng isang saserdote ay magpakarumi sa pagpapatutot, ay kaniyang binigyan ng kahihiyan ang kaniyang ama: siya'y susunugin sa apoy.
Any daughter of any priest who defiles herself by becoming a prostitute disgraces her father. She must be burned.
10 At ang pangulong saserdote sa kanilang magkakapatid, na binuhusan ang ulo ng langis na pang-pahid, at itinalaga, upang makapagbihis ng mga banal na bihisan ay huwag maglulugay ng buhok ng kaniyang ulo ni huwag hahapakin ang kaniyang mga suot;
The one who is the high priest among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil has been poured, and who has been consecrated to wear the special garments of the high priest, must not wear his hair loose or tear his clothes.
11 Ni papasok sa kinaroroonan ng bangkay nino man, ni magpapakahawa dahil sa kaniyang ama, o dahil sa kaniyang ina;
He must not go anywhere that a dead body is present and defile himself, even for his father or his mother.
12 Ni lalabas sa santuario, ni lalapastanganin ang santuario ng kaniyang Dios; sapagka't ang talaga na langis na pang-pahid ng kaniyang Dios ay nasa ulo niya: ako ang Panginoon.
The high priest must not leave the sanctuary area of the tabernacle or profane the sanctuary of his God, because he has been consecrated as high priest by the anointing oil of his God. I am Yahweh.
13 At siya'y magaasawa sa isang dalagang malinis.
The high priest must marry a virgin as his wife.
14 Sa bao o inihiwalay, sa lamas o patutot ay huwag siyang magaasawa; kundi sa isang dalagang malinis sa kaniyang sariling bayan magaasawa siya.
He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or a woman who is a prostitute. He will not marry these kinds of women. He may only marry a virgin from his own people,
15 At huwag niyang dudumhan ang kaniyang mga binhi sa gitna ng kaniyang bayan: sapagka't ako ang Panginoon na nagpapaging banal sa kaniya.
so he will not defile his children among his people, for I am Yahweh, who makes him holy.'”
16 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
17 Iyong salitain kay Aaron, na iyong sasabihin, Sinoman sa iyong mga binhi, sa buong panahon ng kaniyang lahi, na magkaroon ng anomang kapintasan, ay huwag lumapit na maghandog ng tinapay ng kaniyang Dios.
“Speak to Aaron and tell him, 'Whoever of your descendants throughout their generations has a bodily defect, he must not approach to offer the food to his God.
18 Sapagka't sinomang magkaroon ng kapintasan ay huwag lalapit; maging ang taong bulag, o pilay, o magkaroon ng ilong na ungod, o ang mayroong kuntil,
Any man who has a bodily defect must not approach Yahweh, such as a blind man or a man who is unable to walk, one who is disfigured or deformed,
19 O ang taong magkaroon ng paang bali o kamay na bali,
a man with a crippled hand or foot,
20 O taong kuba, o unano, o magkaroon ng kapintasan sa kaniyang mata, o galisin, o langibin, o luslusin:
a man who has a hump in his back or is abnormally thin or short, or a man with a defect in his eyes, or with a disease, sore, scabs, or whose testicles have been crushed.
21 Walang tao sa binhi ni Aaron na saserdote, na magkaroon ng kapintasan, na lalapit upang magharap ng mga handog sa Panginoon na pinaraan sa apoy: siya'y may kapintasan; siya'y huwag lalapit na magharap ng tinapay ng kaniyang Dios.
No man among the descendants of Aaron the priest with a bodily defect may come near to perform the offerings made by fire for Yahweh. Such a man has a bodily defect; he must not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22 Kaniyang kakanin ang tinapay ng kaniyang Dios, ang pinakabanal at ang mga bagay na banal:
He may eat the food of his God, whether some of the most holy or some of the holy.
23 Hindi lamang siya papasok sa loob ng tabing, o lalapit man sa dambana, sapagka't may kapintasan siya; upang huwag niyang lapastanganin ang aking mga santuario: sapagka't ako ang Panginoon na nagpapaging banal sa kanila.
However, he must not enter inside the curtain or come near the altar, because he has a bodily defect, so that he does not defile my holy place, for I am Yahweh, who makes them holy.'”
24 Gayon sinalita ni Moises kay Aaron at sa kaniyang mga anak, at sa lahat ng mga anak ni Israel.
So Moses spoke these words to Aaron, to his sons, and to all the people of Israel.
