Leviticus 21
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
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 for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.
除非為他骨肉之親的父母、兒女、弟兄，
3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which has had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
和未曾出嫁、作處女的姊妹，才可以沾染自己。
4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
祭司既在民中為首，就不可從俗沾染自己。
5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in 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 unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore 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 wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto 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 You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy unto you: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, 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 the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profanes 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 he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;
「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, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
不可挨近死屍，也不可為父母沾染自己。
12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his 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 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
他要娶處女為妻。
14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.
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 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify 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 unto Moses, saying,
耶和華對摩西說：
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of your seed in their generations that has any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread 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 For whatsoever man he be that has a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that has a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
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 Or a man that is broken footed, or broken handed,
折腳折手的、
20 Or crooked back, or a dwarf, or that has a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or has his stones broken;
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 No man that has a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he has a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his 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 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
上帝的食物，無論是聖的，至聖的，他都可以吃。
23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he has a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify 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 told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto 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。
