Levítico 21

1 Y Jehová dijo a Moisés: Habla a los sacerdotes, hijos de Aarón, y díles que por ninguna alma se contaminen en sus pueblos:

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Speak unto the priests, sons of Aaron, and thou hast said unto them, For [any] person [a priest] is not defiled among his people,

2 Mas por su pariente cercano a sí, como por su madre, o por su padre, o por su hijo, o por su hija, o por su hermano,

except for his relation who [is] near unto him — for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.

3 O por su hermana virgen cercana a sí, que no haya tenido varón, por ella se contaminará.

and for his sister, the virgin, who is near unto him, who hath not been to a man; for her he is defiled.

4 No se contaminará por el príncipe en sus pueblos ensuciándose.

'A master [priest] doth not defile himself among his people — to pollute himself;

5 No harán calva en su cabeza, ni raerán la punta de su barba, ni en su carne harán rasguño.

they do not make baldness on their head, and the corner of their beard they do not shave, and in their flesh they do not make a cutting;

6 Santos serán a su Dios, y no ensuciarán el nombre de su Dios, porque los fuegos de Jehová, el pan de su Dios ofrecen, por tanto serán santos.

they are holy to their God, and they pollute not the name of their God, for the fire-offerings of Jehovah, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been holy.

7 Mujer ramera, o infame no tomarán: ni tomarán mujer repudiada de su marido: porque es santo a su Dios.

'A woman, a harlot, or polluted, they do not take, and a woman cast out from her husband they do not take, for he [is] holy to his God;

8 Y santificarle has, porque el pan de tu Dios ofrece: santo será a ti, porque santo soy yo Jehová vuestro santificador.

and thou hast sanctified him, for the bread of thy God he is bringing near; he is holy to thee; for holy [am] I, Jehovah, sanctifying you.

9 Ítem, la hija del varón sacerdote, cuando comenzare a fornicar, a su padre contamina, será quemada en fuego.

'And a daughter of any priest when she polluteth herself by going a-whoring — her father she is polluting; with fire she is burnt.

10 Ítem, el sumo sacerdote entre sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fue derramado el aceite de la unción, y que hinchió su mano para vestir las vestiduras, no descubrirá su cabeza, ni romperá sus vestidos.

'And the high priest of his brethren, on whose head is poured the anointing oil, and hath consecrated his hand to put on the garments, his head doth not uncover, nor rend his garments,

11 Ni entrará a ninguna persona muerta, ni por su padre, o por su madre se contaminará.

nor beside any dead person doth he come; for his father and for his mother he doth not defile himself;

12 Ni saldrá del santuario, ni ensuciará el santuario de su Dios; porque la corona del aceite de la unción de su Dios está sobre él: Yo Jehová.

nor from the sanctuary doth he go out, nor doth he pollute the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing oil of his God [is] on him; I [am] Jehovah.

13 Ítem, él tomará mujer con su virginidad.

'And he taketh a wife in her virginity;

14 Viuda, o repudiada, o infame, o ramera, estas no tomará: mas virgen tomará de sus pueblos: por mujer.

widow, or cast out, or polluted one — a harlot — these he doth not take, but a virgin of his own people he doth take [for] a wife,

15 Y no ensuciará su simiente en sus pueblos: porque yo Jehová soy el que le santifico.

and he doth not pollute his seed among his people; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying him.'

16 Ítem, Jehová habló a Moisés, diciendo:

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

17 Habla a Aarón, y díle: El varón de tu simiente en sus generaciones, en el cual hubiere falta, no se allegará para ofrecer el pan de su Dios:

'Speak unto Aaron, saying, No man of thy seed to their generations in whom there is blemish doth draw near to bring near the bread of his God,

18 Porque ningún varón, en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará: varón ciego, o cojo, o falto, o sobrado de nariz,

for no man in whom [is] blemish doth draw near — a man blind, or lame or dwarfed, or enlarged,

19 O varón en el cual hubiere quebradura de pie, o quebradura de mano:

or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,

20 O corcobado, o lagañoso, o que tuviere nube en el ojo, o que tuviere sarna, o empeine, o compañón quebrado.

or hump-backed, or a dwarf, or with a mixture in his eye, or a scurvy person, or scabbed, or broken-testicled.

21 Ningún varón de la simiente de Aarón sacerdote, en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará para ofrecer las ofrendas encendidas de Jehová. ¿ Hay falta en él? no se allegará a ofrecer el pan de su Dios.

'No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) doth come nigh to bring near the fire-offerings of Jehovah; blemish [is] in him; the bread of his God he doth not come nigh to bring near.

22 El pan de su Dios de las santidades de santidades, y las cosas santificadas comerá.

'Bread of his God — of the most holy things, and of the holy things — he doth eat;

23 Empero no entrará del velo adentro, ni se allegará al altar, por cuanto hay falta en él: y no ensuciará mi santuario, porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.

only, unto the vail he doth not enter, and unto the altar he doth not draw nigh; for blemish [is] in him; and he doth not pollute My sanctuaries; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying them.'

24 Y Moisés habló a Aarón, y a sus hijos, y a todos los hijos de Israel.

And Moses speaketh unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel.
