Leviticus 21
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and thou shalt tell them [that] they shall not defile themselves in their nation for the dead,
耶和華對摩西說：「你告訴亞倫子孫作祭司的說：祭司不可為民中的死人沾染自己，
2 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,
除非為他骨肉之親的父母、兒女、弟兄，
3 and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself.
和未曾出嫁、作處女的姊妹，才可以沾染自己。
4 He shall not defile himself suddenly among his people to profane himself.
祭司既在民中為首，就不可從俗沾染自己。
5 And ye 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.
不可使頭光禿；不可剃除鬍鬚的周圍，也不可用刀劃身。
6 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.
要歸上帝為聖，不可褻瀆上帝的名；因為耶和華的火祭，就是上帝的食物，是他們獻的，所以他們要成為聖。
7 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.
不可娶妓女或被污的女人為妻，也不可娶被休的婦人為妻，因為祭司是歸上帝為聖。
8 And thou shalt hallow him; he offers the gifts of the Lord your God: he shall be holy, for I the Lord that sanctify them [am] holy.
所以你要使他成聖，因為他奉獻你上帝的食物；你要以他為聖，因為我－使你們成聖的耶和華－是聖的。
9 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.
祭司的女兒若行淫辱沒自己，就辱沒了父親，必用火將她焚燒。
10 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:
「在弟兄中作大祭司、頭上倒了膏油、又承接聖職、穿了聖衣的，不可蓬頭散髮，也不可撕裂衣服。
11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, neither shall he defile himself for his father or his mother.
不可挨近死屍，也不可為父母沾染自己。
12 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.
不可出聖所，也不可褻瀆上帝的聖所，因為上帝膏油的冠冕在他頭上。我是耶和華。
13 He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.
他要娶處女為妻。
14 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.
寡婦或是被休的婦人，或是被污為妓的女人，都不可娶；只可娶本民中的處女為妻。
15 And he shall not profane his seed among his people: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies him.
不可在民中辱沒他的兒女，因為我是叫他成聖的耶和華。」
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和華對摩西說：
17 Say to Aaron, A man of thy tribe throughout your generations, who shall have a blemish on him, shall not draw nigh to offer the gifts of his God.
「你告訴亞倫說：你世世代代的後裔，凡有殘疾的，都不可近前來獻他上帝的食物。
18 No man who has a blemish on him shall draw nigh; a man blind, lame, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut,
因為凡有殘疾的，無論是瞎眼的、瘸腿的、塌鼻子的、肢體有餘的、
19 a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot,
折腳折手的、
20 or hump-backed, 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.
駝背的、矮矬的、眼睛有毛病的、長癬的、長疥的，或是損壞腎子的，都不可近前來。
21 Whoever of the seed of Aaron the priest has a blemish on him, shall not draw nigh to offer sacrifices to thy God, because he has a blemish on him; he shall not draw nigh to offer the gifts of God.
祭司亞倫的後裔，凡有殘疾的，都不可近前來，將火祭獻給耶和華。他有殘疾，不可近前來獻上帝的食物。
22 The gifts of God [are] most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things.
上帝的食物，無論是聖的，至聖的，他都可以吃。
23 Only he shall not approach the veil, and he shall not draw nigh 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.
但不可進到幔子前，也不可就近壇前；因為他有殘疾，免得褻瀆我的聖所。我是叫他成聖的耶和華。」
24 And Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
於是，摩西曉諭亞倫和亞倫的子孫，並以色列眾人。
