1 Olúwa sọ fún Mose wí pe, “Bá àwọn àlùfáà tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Aaroni sọ̀rọ̀, kí o sì sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú wọn kò gbọdọ̀ sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́ nítorí àwọn ènìyàn wọn tí ó kù.
And the Lord said vnto Moses, Speake vnto the Priestes the sonnes of Aaron, and say vnto them, Let none be defiled by the dead among his people,
2 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá ṣe àwọn tí ó súnmọ́ ọn bí ìyá rẹ̀, baba rẹ̀, ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin, àti arákùnrin rẹ̀.
But by his kinseman that is neere vnto him: to wit, by his mother, or by his father, or by his sonne, or by his daughter, or by his brother,
3 Tàbí fún arábìnrin rẹ̀ tí kò ì tí ì wọ ilé ọkọ tí ó ń gbé lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀. Nítorí tí arábìnrin bẹ́ẹ̀, ó lè sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́.
Or by his sister a maid, that is neere vnto him, which hath not had a husband: for her he may lament.
4 Nítorí tí ó jẹ́ olórí, òun kò gbọdọ̀ sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́ láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
He shall not lament for the Prince among his people, to pollute him selfe.
5 “‘Àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ fá irun orí rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ rẹ́ irùngbọ̀n rẹ̀. Kò gbọdọ̀ fi abẹ ya ara rẹ̀ láti fihàn pé òun wà ní ipò ọ̀fọ̀.
They shall not make balde partes vpon their head, nor shaue off the locks of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 Wọ́n gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ mímọ́ fún Ọlọ́run, kí wọ́n má ba à sọ orúkọ Ọlọ́run wọn di àìmọ́, nítorí pé àwọn ni wọ́n ń fi iná sun ẹbọ sí Olúwa wọn, ti ó jẹ oúnjẹ Ọlọ́run wọn. Nítorí náà wọn gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ mímọ́.
They shalbe holy vnto their God, and not pollute the name of their God: for the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire, and the bread of their God they doe offer: therefore they shalbe holie.
7 “‘Àwọn àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ panṣágà tàbí obìnrin tí ó ti fi ọkùnrin ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́ tàbí obìnrin tí ọkọ rẹ̀ ti kọ̀sílẹ̀ nítorí pé àwọn àlùfáà jẹ́ mímọ́ sí Ọlọ́run wọn.
They shall not take to wife an whore, or one polluted, neither shall they marrie a woman diuorced from her husband: for such one is holy vnto his God.
8 Àwọn ènìyàn gbọdọ̀ máa kà wọ́n sí mímọ́, nítorí pé àwọn ni wọ́n ń rú ẹbọ oúnjẹ fún mi. Èmi ni Olúwa, mo jẹ́ mímọ́, mo sì ya àwọn ènìyàn mi sí mímọ́.
Thou shalt sanctifie him therefore, for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy vnto thee: for I the Lord, which sanctifie you, am holy.
9 “‘Bí ọmọbìnrin àlùfáà kan bá fi iṣẹ́ àgbèrè ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́, ó dójútì baba rẹ̀, iná ni a ó dá sun ún.
If a Priestes daughter fall to play the whore, she polluteth her father: therefore shall she be burnt with fire.
10 “‘Lẹ́yìn tí a ti fi òróró yan olórí àlùfáà láàrín àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, tí a sì ti fi àmì òróró yàn án láti máa wọ aṣọ àlùfáà, ó gbọdọ̀ tọ́jú irun orí rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya láti fihàn pé òun wà ní ipò ọ̀fọ̀.
Also ye hie Priest among his brethren, (vpon whose head the anointing oyle was powred, and hath consecrated his hand to put on the garments) shall not vncouer his head, nor rent his clothes,
11 Kí ó ma ṣe wọlé tọ òkú lọ, kí ó má ṣe sọ ará rẹ di àìmọ́ nítorí baba tàbí nítorí ìyá rẹ̀.
Neither shall he goe to any dead bodie, nor make him selfe vncleane by his father or by his mother,
12 Kò gbọdọ̀ kúrò ní ibi mímọ́ Ọlọ́run tàbí kí ó sọ ọ́ di aláìmọ́ torí pé a ti fi ìfòróróyàn Ọlọ́run yà á sí mímọ́. Èmi ni Olúwa.
Neither shall he goe out of the Sanctuarie, nor pollute the holy place of his God: for the crowne of the anoynting oyle of his God is vpon him: I am the Lord.
13 “‘Ọmọbìnrin tí yóò fẹ́ gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ ẹni tí kò mọ ọkùnrin rí.
Also he shall take a maide vnto his wife:
14 Kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ opó tàbí ẹni tí a kọ̀sílẹ̀ tàbí obìnrin tí ó ti fi àgbèrè ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n kí ó fẹ́ obìnrin tí kò mọ ọkùnrin rí, láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
But a widowe, or a diuorced woman, or a polluted, or an harlot, these shall he not marrie, but shall take a maide of his owne people to wife:
15 Kí ó má ba à sọ di aláìmọ́ nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀. Èmi ni Olúwa tí ó sọ ọ́ di mímọ́.’”
Neyther shall he defile his seede among his people: for I am the Lord which sanctifie him.
16 Olúwa sì bá Mose sọ̀rọ̀ pé,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
17 “Sọ fún Aaroni pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ ní ìran-ìran wọn, tí ó bá ní ààrùn kan, kí ó má ṣe súnmọ́ tòsí láti rú ẹbọ ohun jíjẹ sí Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
Speake vnto Aaron, and say, Whosoeuer of thy seede in their generations hath any blemishes, shall not prease to offer the bread of his God:
18 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ní àbùkù kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ibi ẹbọ náà. Kò gbọdọ̀ sí afọ́jú tàbí arọ, alábùkù ara tàbí àwọn tí ara wọn kò pé.
For whosoeuer hath any blemish, shall not come neere: as a man blinde or lame, or that hath a flat nose, or that hath any misshapen member,
19 Kò gbọdọ̀ sí ẹnikẹ́ni yálà ó rọ lápá lẹ́sẹ̀,
Or a man that hath a broken foote, or a broken hande,
20 tàbí tí ó jẹ́ abuké, tàbí tí ó ya aràrá tàbí tí ó ní àìsàn ojú tàbí tí ó ní egbò tàbí tí a ti yọ nǹkan ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀.
Or is crooke backt, or bleare eyed, or hath a blemish in his eye, or be skiruie, or skabbed, or haue his stones broken.
21 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ní àbùkù nínú irú-ọmọ Aaroni àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ tòsí láti rú ẹbọ tí fi iná sun sí Olúwa. Nítorí pé ó jẹ́ alábùkù, kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ tòsí láti rú ẹbọ àkàrà sí Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
None of the seede of Aaron the Priest that hath a blemish, shall come neere to offer the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire, hauing a blemish: he shall not prease to offer the bread of his God.
22 Ó lè jẹ́ oúnjẹ Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ tàbí èyí tí ó mọ́ jùlọ, ṣùgbọ́n torí pé ó ní àbùkù kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ibi aṣọ títa tàbí pẹpẹ.
The bread of his God, euen of the most holie, and of the holy shall he eate:
23 Nípa ṣíṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ yóò ba ibi mímọ́ mi jẹ́ torí pé, Èmi Olúwa ló ti sọ wọ́n di mímọ́.’”
But he shall not goe in vnto the vaile, nor come neere the altar, because hee hath a blemish, least he pollute my Sanctuaries: for I am the Lord that sanctifie them.
24 Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ohun tí Mose sọ fún Aaroni, àwọn ọmọ Aaroni àti gbogbo ọmọ Israẹli.
Thus spake Moses vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, and to all the children of Israel.
