3 Mosebog 21
1 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Tal til Præsterne, Arons Sønner, og sig til dem: En Præst skal ikke gøre sig uren ved et Lig iblandt sit Folk,
The Lord also said to Moses: Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and you shall say to them: Do not allow a priest to be contaminated by the death of his citizens,
2 uden ved hans næste Slægt, som ham næst tilhører, ved hans Moder og ved hans Fader og ved hans Søn og ved hans Datter og ved hans Broder
except only by his blood-relatives and near-relatives, that is, by a father or mother, or by a son or daughter, or also a brother,
3 og ved hans Søster, som er en Jomfru, hans næste Paarørende, som ikke har været nogen Mands Hustru; ved hende maa han gøre sig uren.
or a virgin sister, who is not married to a husband.
4 Han skal ikke besmitte sig, da han er en Herre iblandt sit Folk, saa han vanhelliger sig.
But not even by the leader of his people shall he be contaminated.
5 De skulle ikke gøre deres Hoved skaldet og ikke afrage det yderste af deres Skæg, og ej skære et Indsnit i deres Kød.
Neither shall they shave their head or their beard, and they shall not make incisions in their flesh.
6 De skulle være hellige for deres Gud og ikke vanhellige deres Guds Navn; thi de ofre Herrens Ildoffer, deres Guds Brød, og derfor skulle de være aldeles hellige.
They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not pollute his name. For they offer the incense of the Lord and the bread of their God, and because of this they shall be holy.
7 De skulle ikke tage nogen Horekone eller en, som er krænket, til Ægte; og den Kvinde, som er forskudt af sin Mand, skulle de ikke tage; thi han er hellig for Gud.
They shall not take as a wife a promiscuous woman, or a prostitute, or her who has been repudiated by her husband. For they are consecrated to their God,
8 Derfor skal du holde ham hellig, thi han ofrer din Guds Brød; han skal være dig hellig, thi jeg Herren er hellig, som gør eder hellige.
and they offer the bread of the presence. Therefore, let them be holy, for I also am holy: the Lord, who sanctifies them.
9 Og naar nogen Præsts Datter begynder at bedrive Hor, har hun vanhelliget sin Fader, hun skal brændes med Ild.
If the daughter of a priest will have been taken into prostitution, and will have violated the name of her father, she shall be consumed by fire.
10 Og den, som er Ypperstepræst iblandt sine Brødre, paa hvis Hoved Salveolien er udøst, og hvis Haand man har fyldt, for at han skal iføre sig Klæderne, han skal ikke blotte sit Hoved og ej sønderrive sine Klæder.
The high priest, that is, the priest who is the greatest among his brothers, upon whose head the oil of anointing has been poured, and whose hands have been consecrated for the priesthood, and who has been vested with the holy vestments: he shall not expose his head; he shall not rend his vestments.
11 Og han skal ikke komme til noget Lig, han skal ikke gøre sig uren, hverken ved sin Fader eller ved sin Moder.
And he shall not enter to any dead body whatsoever; likewise, not even by his father or mother shall he be contaminated.
12 Og han skal ikke gaa ud af Helligdommen, og han skal ikke vanhellige sin Guds Helligdom; thi hans Guds Salveolies Hovedsmykke er paa ham. Jeg er Herren.
Neither shall he exit from the holy places, lest he pollute the Sanctuary of the Lord. For the oil of the holy anointing of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.
13 Og han skal tage sig en Hustru i hendes Jomfrustand.
He shall take a virgin as his wife.
14 En Enke eller en forskudt eller en krænket, en Hore, dem skal han ikke tage, men en Jomfru af sit Folk skal han tage til Hustru.
But a widow, or one who has been repudiated or defiled, or also a mistress, he shall not accept, but only a maiden from among his own people.
15 Og han skal ikke vanhellige sin Sæd iblandt sit Folk; thi jeg er Herren, som gør ham hellig.
He shall not mingle the stock of his family with the common people of his nation. For I am the Lord, who sanctifies him.
16 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 Tal til Aron og sig: Naar der er en Mand af din Sæd i deres Slægter, paa hvem der er en Lyde, han skal ikke komme nær til, at ofre sin Guds Brød;
Say to Aaron: A man from your offspring, throughout their families, who has a blemish, shall not offer the bread to his God.
18 thi ingen Mand, paa hvem der er Lyde, skal komme nær, hvad enten det er en Mand, som er blind eller lam, eller som har noget Lem for kort eller for langt,
Neither shall he approach to minister to him: if he is blind, if he is lame, if he is small, or large, or has a crooked nose,
19 eller en Mand, som har Bræk paa Fod eller Bræk paa Haand,
if his foot or hand is broken,
20 eller som er krogrygget eller er en Dværg eller har Men paa sit Øje, eller som har Skurv eller Fnat, eller som har Brok.
if he has a bulging back or bleary eyes, or if he has a white spot in his eye, or a chronic scab, or a skin disease on his body, or a hernia.
21 Og ingen Mand af Præsten Arons Sæd, paa hvem der er Lyde, skal gaa frem at ofre Herrens Ildofre; der er Lyde paa ham, han skal ikke gaa frem til at ofre sin Guds Brød.
Anyone from the offspring of Aaron, the priest, who has a blemish, shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor the bread to his God.
22 Dog maa han æde sin Guds Brød, baade af de højhellige Ting og af de andre hellige Ting.
Nevertheless, he shall eat from the loaves which are offered in the Sanctuary.
23 Kun skal han ikke komme til Forhænget og ej gaa frem til Alteret; thi der er Lyde paa ham, og han skal ikke vanhellige mine Helligdomme; thi jeg er Herren, som gør dem hellige.
But even so, he may not enter within the veil, nor approach to the altar. For he has a blemish, and he must not contaminate my Sanctuary. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.
24 Og Mose sagde dette til Aron og til hans Sønner og til alle Israels Børn.
Therefore, Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all of Israel, everything that had been commanded to him.
