Leviticus 21
1 The Lord said also to Moses: Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and thou shalt say to them: Let not a priest incur an uncleanness at the death of his citizens:
Olúwa sọ fún Mose wí pe, “Bá àwọn àlùfáà tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Aaroni sọ̀rọ̀, kí o sì sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú wọn kò gbọdọ̀ sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́ nítorí àwọn ènìyàn wọn tí ó kù.
2 But only for his kin, such as are near in blood, that is to say, for his father and for his mother, and for his son, and for his daughter, for his brother also,
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá ṣe àwọn tí ó súnmọ́ ọn bí ìyá rẹ̀, baba rẹ̀, ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin, àti arákùnrin rẹ̀.
3 And for a maiden sister, who hath had no husband:
Tàbí fún arábìnrin rẹ̀ tí kò ì tí ì wọ ilé ọkọ tí ó ń gbé lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀. Nítorí tí arábìnrin bẹ́ẹ̀, ó lè sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́.
4 But not even for the prince of his people shall he do any thing that may make him unclean.
Nítorí tí ó jẹ́ olórí, òun kò gbọdọ̀ sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́ láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
5 Neither shall they shave their head, nor their beard, nor make incisions in their flesh.
“‘Àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ fá irun orí rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ rẹ́ irùngbọ̀n rẹ̀. Kò gbọdọ̀ fi abẹ ya ara rẹ̀ láti fihàn pé òun wà ní ipò ọ̀fọ̀.
6 They shall be holy to their God, and shall not profane his name: for they offer the burnt offering of the Lord, and the bread of their God, and therefore they shall be holy.
Wọ́n gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ mímọ́ fún Ọlọ́run, kí wọ́n má ba à sọ orúkọ Ọlọ́run wọn di àìmọ́, nítorí pé àwọn ni wọ́n ń fi iná sun ẹbọ sí Olúwa wọn, ti ó jẹ oúnjẹ Ọlọ́run wọn. Nítorí náà wọn gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ mímọ́.
7 They shall not take to wife a harlot or a vile prostitute, nor one that has been put away from her husband: because they are consecrated to their God,
“‘Àwọn àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ panṣágà tàbí obìnrin tí ó ti fi ọkùnrin ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́ tàbí obìnrin tí ọkọ rẹ̀ ti kọ̀sílẹ̀ nítorí pé àwọn àlùfáà jẹ́ mímọ́ sí Ọlọ́run wọn.
8 And offer the leaves of proposition. Let them therefore be holy, because I also am holy, the Lord, who sanctify them.
Àwọn ènìyàn gbọdọ̀ máa kà wọ́n sí mímọ́, nítorí pé àwọn ni wọ́n ń rú ẹbọ oúnjẹ fún mi. Èmi ni Olúwa, mo jẹ́ mímọ́, mo sì ya àwọn ènìyàn mi sí mímọ́.
9 If the daughter of a priest be taken in whoredom, and dishonour the name of her father, she shall be burnt with fire.
“‘Bí ọmọbìnrin àlùfáà kan bá fi iṣẹ́ àgbèrè ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́, ó dójútì baba rẹ̀, iná ni a ó dá sun ún.
10 The high priest, that is to say, the priest, is the greatest among his brethren. upon whose head the oil of unction hath been poured, and whose hands have been consecrated for the priesthood, and who hath been vested with the holy vestments, shall not uncover his head, he shall not rend his garments:
“‘Lẹ́yìn tí a ti fi òróró yan olórí àlùfáà láàrín àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, tí a sì ti fi àmì òróró yàn án láti máa wọ aṣọ àlùfáà, ó gbọdọ̀ tọ́jú irun orí rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya láti fihàn pé òun wà ní ipò ọ̀fọ̀.
11 Nor shall he go in at all to any dead person: not even for his father, or his mother, shall he be defiled:
Kí ó ma ṣe wọlé tọ òkú lọ, kí ó má ṣe sọ ará rẹ di àìmọ́ nítorí baba tàbí nítorí ìyá rẹ̀.
12 Neither shall he go out of the holy places, lest he defile the sanctuary of the Lord, because the oil of the holy unction of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.
Kò gbọdọ̀ kúrò ní ibi mímọ́ Ọlọ́run tàbí kí ó sọ ọ́ di aláìmọ́ torí pé a ti fi ìfòróróyàn Ọlọ́run yà á sí mímọ́. Èmi ni Olúwa.
13 He shall take a virgin unto his wife:
“‘Ọmọbìnrin tí yóò fẹ́ gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ ẹni tí kò mọ ọkùnrin rí.
14 But a widow or one that is divorced, or defiled, or a harlot, he shall not take, but a maid of his own people:
Kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ opó tàbí ẹni tí a kọ̀sílẹ̀ tàbí obìnrin tí ó ti fi àgbèrè ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n kí ó fẹ́ obìnrin tí kò mọ ọkùnrin rí, láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
15 He shall not mingle the stock of his kindred with the common people of his nation: for I am the Lord who sanctify him.
Kí ó má ba à sọ di aláìmọ́ nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀. Èmi ni Olúwa tí ó sọ ọ́ di mímọ́.’”
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Olúwa sì bá Mose sọ̀rọ̀ pé,
17 Say to Aaron: Whosoever of thy seed throughout their families, hath a blemish, he shall not offer bread to his God.
“Sọ fún Aaroni pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ ní ìran-ìran wọn, tí ó bá ní ààrùn kan, kí ó má ṣe súnmọ́ tòsí láti rú ẹbọ ohun jíjẹ sí Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
18 Neither shall he approach to minister to him: If he be blind, if he be lame, if he have a little, or a great, or a crooked nose,
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ní àbùkù kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ibi ẹbọ náà. Kò gbọdọ̀ sí afọ́jú tàbí arọ, alábùkù ara tàbí àwọn tí ara wọn kò pé.
19 If his foot, or if his hand be broken,
Kò gbọdọ̀ sí ẹnikẹ́ni yálà ó rọ lápá lẹ́sẹ̀,
20 If he be crookbacked, or blear eyed, or have a pearl in his eye, or a continual scab, or a dry scurf in his body, or a rupture:
tàbí tí ó jẹ́ abuké, tàbí tí ó ya aràrá tàbí tí ó ní àìsàn ojú tàbí tí ó ní egbò tàbí tí a ti yọ nǹkan ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀.
21 Whosoever of the seed of Aaron the priest hath a blemish, he shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor bread to his God.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ní àbùkù nínú irú-ọmọ Aaroni àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ tòsí láti rú ẹbọ tí fi iná sun sí Olúwa. Nítorí pé ó jẹ́ alábùkù, kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ tòsí láti rú ẹbọ àkàrà sí Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
22 He shall eat nevertheless of the loaves, that are offered in the sanctuary,
Ó lè jẹ́ oúnjẹ Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ tàbí èyí tí ó mọ́ jùlọ, ṣùgbọ́n torí pé ó ní àbùkù kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ibi aṣọ títa tàbí pẹpẹ.
23 Yet so that he enter not within the veil, nor approach to the altar, because he hath a blemish, and he must not defile my sanctuary. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
Nípa ṣíṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ yóò ba ibi mímọ́ mi jẹ́ torí pé, Èmi Olúwa ló ti sọ wọ́n di mímọ́.’”
24 Moses therefore spoke to Aaron, and to his sons and to all Israel, all the things that had been commanded him.
Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ohun tí Mose sọ fún Aaroni, àwọn ọmọ Aaroni àti gbogbo ọmọ Israẹli.
