Leviticus 21
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them,
At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Salitain mo sa mga saserdote na mga anak ni Aaron, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Sinoman ay huwag magpakahawa ng dahil sa patay, sa gitna ng kaniyang bayan,
2 ‘You priests must not cause yourselves to become unfit to do my work by [touching] corpses. Priests are permitted to touch only the corpses of close relatives, such as the priest’s mother or father or his son or daughter or his brother.
Maliban sa kamaganak na malapit, sa kaniyang ina at sa kaniyang ama at sa kaniyang anak na lalake at babae, at sa kaniyang kapatid na lalake,
3 Priests are also permitted to touch the corpse of a sister if she is not married, because she has no husband [to bury her body].
At sa kaniyang kapatid na dalaga, na malapit sa kaniya, na walang asawa, ay maaring magpakahawa siya.
4 Priests must not cause themselves to become unfit to do my work [DOU] by [touching corpses of] people who were married to one of their close relatives.
Yamang puno sa kaniyang bayan, ay huwag siyang magpapakahawa na magpapakarumi.
5 You priests must not shave your heads or shave the edges of your beards or cut your bodies [to show that you are mourning for someone who has died].
Huwag nilang kakalbuhin ang kanilang ulo, o gugupitin man ang dulo ng kanilang balbas, o kukudlitan man ang kanilang laman.
6 You must act in ways that I, your God, consider to be holy, and not disgrace my name/reputation. You are the ones who present to me the offerings that are burned. [It is as though] those offerings are food for me, your God; so you must act in ways that are holy.
Sila'y magpakabanal sa kanilang Dios, at huwag nilang lalapastanganin ang pangalan ng kanilang Dios: sapagka't sila ang naghahandog ng mga handog sa Panginoon na pinaraan sa apoy, na tinapay ng kanilang Dios, kaya't sila'y magpapakabanal.
7 You priests must not marry women who have been prostitutes or who have been divorced from their husbands, because you priests are (set apart for me/holy).
Huwag silang makikisama sa patutot o lapastangan, ni makikisama sa babaing inihiwalay ng kaniyang asawa: sapagka't ang saserdote ay banal sa kaniyang Dios.
8 You must consider that you are holy, because you offer food to me, your God. Consider yourselves to be holy because I, Yahweh, [the one who caused you to be priests and] the one who enables you to be holy, am holy.
Papagbabanalin mo nga siya; sapagka't siya ang naghahandog ng tinapay ng inyong Dios: siya'y magiging banal sa inyo; sapagka't akong Panginoon nagpapaging banal sa inyo ay banal.
9 If a priest’s daughter disgraces herself by becoming a prostitute, she disgraces her father; and she must be killed by being burned in a fire.
At kung ang anak na babae ng isang saserdote ay magpakarumi sa pagpapatutot, ay kaniyang binigyan ng kahihiyan ang kaniyang ama: siya'y susunugin sa apoy.
10 The Supreme Priest is the one among his relatives who has been [appointed for that work] by having his head anointed with olive oil. He is also the one who has been appointed to wear the special garments that priests wear. He must not allow the hair on his [head] to remain uncombed, and he must not tear his clothes [when he is mourning for someone].
At ang pangulong saserdote sa kanilang magkakapatid, na binuhusan ang ulo ng langis na pang-pahid, at itinalaga, upang makapagbihis ng mga banal na bihisan ay huwag maglulugay ng buhok ng kaniyang ulo ni huwag hahapakin ang kaniyang mga suot;
11 He must not enter some place where there is a corpse. He must not do that and cause himself to become unfit for his work, even if it is his father or his mother who has died.
Ni papasok sa kinaroroonan ng bangkay nino man, ni magpapakahawa dahil sa kaniyang ama, o dahil sa kaniyang ina;
12 He must not leave the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because he would cause himself to become unfit for his work and would also defile/desecrate the Sacred Tent. He must not leave the Sacred Tent [at that time], because by being anointed with olive oil he has been (appointed/set apart) to serve his God [in the Sacred Tent]. I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding this].
Ni lalabas sa santuario, ni lalapastanganin ang santuario ng kaniyang Dios; sapagka't ang talaga na langis na pang-pahid ng kaniyang Dios ay nasa ulo niya: ako ang Panginoon.
13 Women whom you priests marry must be virgins.
At siya'y magaasawa sa isang dalagang malinis.
14 You priests must not marry widows or prostitutes or divorced women, because if you did that, [if you later have] sons, they would not be acceptable to be priests among your people. You must marry only virgins from among your own people. I am Yahweh, who sets priests apart to be holy.’”
Sa bao o inihiwalay, sa lamas o patutot ay huwag siyang magaasawa; kundi sa isang dalagang malinis sa kaniyang sariling bayan magaasawa siya.
At huwag niyang dudumhan ang kaniyang mga binhi sa gitna ng kaniyang bayan: sapagka't ako ang Panginoon na nagpapaging banal sa kaniya.
16 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,
17 “Say this to Aaron: 'For all future time, none of your descendants who has any defects [on his body] will be allowed to come near [the altar] to offer [sacrifices to me which will be like] [MET] my food:
Iyong salitain kay Aaron, na iyong sasabihin, Sinoman sa iyong mga binhi, sa buong panahon ng kaniyang lahi, na magkaroon ng anomang kapintasan, ay huwag lumapit na maghandog ng tinapay ng kaniyang Dios.
18 No one who is blind or lame or deformed, or whose [face is] disfigured,
Sapagka't sinomang magkaroon ng kapintasan ay huwag lalapit; maging ang taong bulag, o pilay, o magkaroon ng ilong na ungod, o ang mayroong kuntil,
19 no man with a crippled foot or a crippled hand,
O ang taong magkaroon ng paang bali o kamay na bali,
20 no man who is a hunchback or a dwarf, no man whose eyes are defective, no man who has a skin disease [DOU] or whose testicles have been damaged is allowed to brings sacrifices.
O taong kuba, o unano, o magkaroon ng kapintasan sa kaniyang mata, o galisin, o langibin, o luslusin:
21 No descendant of Aaron, the [first Supreme] Priest, who has any defect is allowed to come to the altar to offer to me, his God, sacrifices that will be burned.
Walang tao sa binhi ni Aaron na saserdote, na magkaroon ng kapintasan, na lalapit upang magharap ng mga handog sa Panginoon na pinaraan sa apoy: siya'y may kapintasan; siya'y huwag lalapit na magharap ng tinapay ng kaniyang Dios.
22 Priests who have defects are permitted to eat the various kinds of holy food offered to me.
Kaniyang kakanin ang tinapay ng kaniyang Dios, ang pinakabanal at ang mga bagay na banal:
23 But because of their defects, they must not go near the curtain [in the Sacred Tent] or near the altar, because if they did that, they would desecrate my Sacred Tent. I am Yahweh, the one who sets those places apart as being holy.'”
Hindi lamang siya papasok sa loob ng tabing, o lalapit man sa dambana, sapagka't may kapintasan siya; upang huwag niyang lapastanganin ang aking mga santuario: sapagka't ako ang Panginoon na nagpapaging banal sa kanila.
24 So Moses/I told this to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israeli people.
Gayon sinalita ni Moises kay Aaron at sa kaniyang mga anak, at sa lahat ng mga anak ni Israel.
