Leviticus 21
1 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,
Jahve još reče Mojsiju: “Govori svećenicima, Aronovim sinovima, i reci im: Neka se nitko ne okalja dodirom pokojnika u svome narodu,
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,
osim svoje najbliže rodbine: svoje majke, svoga oca, svoga sina, svoje kćeri i svojega brata.
3 and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself.
I svojom sestrom, djevicom, koja mu je također najbliža, jer nije bila udata, može se okaljati.
4 He shall not defile himself suddenly amongst his people to profane himself.
Ali neka se ne okalja svojom svojtom i tako se oskvrne.
5 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.
Neka ne briju glave; neka ne šišaju okrajke svojih brada niti prave ureze na svome tijelu.
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.
Neka budu posvećeni svome Bogu; neka ne oskvrnjuju ime svoga Boga, jer oni prinose žrtve u čast Jahvi paljene, hranu Boga svoga. Zato moraju biti sveti.
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.
Neka se ne žene javnom bludnicom i obeščašćenom ženom; niti se smiju ženiti onom koju je njezin muž otpustio. Jer je svećenik posvećen svome Bogu.
8 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.
Svetim ga drži, jer on prinosi hranu tvoga Boga. Neka ti je svet, jer sam svet ja, Jahve, koji vas posvećujem.
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.
Ako se kći kojeg svećenika oskvrne podavši se javnom bludništvu, ona oca svoga skvrne, pa se mora na vatri spaliti.”
10 And the priest that is chief amongst 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:
“A svećenik koji je najveći među svojom braćom, na čiju je glavu bilo izliveno ulje pomazanja i koji je posvećen da nosi svetu odjeću, neka ne ide raščupane kose niti razdire svoje odjeće.
11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, neither shall he defile himself for his father or his mother.
Neka ne ulazi nijednom mrtvacu; ne smije se okaljati ni za svojim ocem ni za svojom majkom.
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.
Neka ne izlazi iz Svetišta, tako da ne oskvrne Svetište svoga Boga, jer na sebi nosi posvećenje uljem pomazanja Boga svoga. Ja sam Jahve!
13 He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.
Neka za ženu uzme djevicu.
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.
Udovicom, otpuštenicom, obeščašćenom i bludnicom ne smije se ženiti. Jedino djevicom između svoga naroda neka se ženi;
15 And he shall not profane his seed amongst his people: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies him.
tako neće oskvrnuti svoga potomstva među svojim narodom, jer ja, Jahve, njega posvećujem.”
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Jahve reče Mojsiju:
17 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.
“Reci Aronu: 'Nitko od tvojih potomaka, za njihovih naraštaja, koji imadne kakvu tjelesnu manu ne smije se primaknuti da prinosi hranu svoga Boga.
18 No man who has a blemish on him shall draw near; a man blind, lame, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut,
Ni jedan na kome bude mane ne smije se primaknuti: nitko koji je slijep ili sakat; nitko izobličen ili iznakažena kojeg uda;
19 a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot,
nitko tko ima slomljenu nogu ili ruku;
20 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.
ni poguren, ni kržljav, ni bolesnih očiju, ni lišajav, ni krastav, niti uškopljenik.
21 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.
Dakle, ni jedan od potomaka svećenika Arona koji imadne manu neka se ne primiče da prinosi u čast Jahvi paljenu žrtvu; budući da ima manu, neka se ne primiče da prinosi hranu svoga Boga.
22 The gifts of God [are] most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things.
Može blagovati hranu svoga Boga i od žrtava presvetih, i svetih,
23 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.
ali neka ne dolazi k zavjesi niti se žrtveniku primiče jer ima manu. Neka ne skvrne mojih svetih stvari, jer sam ih ja, Jahve, posvetio.'”
24 And Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
Mojsije to kaza Aronu, njegovim sinovima i svim Izraelcima.
