Leviticus 21
1 The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for the dead amongst his people,
Y JEHOVÁ dijo á Moisés: Habla á los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón, y diles que no se contaminen por un muerto en sus pueblos.
2 except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,
Mas por su pariente cercano á sí, por su madre, ó por su padre, ó por su hijo, ó por su hermano,
3 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
O por su hermana virgen, á él cercana, la cual no haya tenido marido, por ella se contaminará.
4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man amongst his people, to profane himself.
No se contaminará, [porque es] príncipe en sus pueblos, haciéndose inmundo.
5 “‘They shall not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings in their flesh.
No harán calva en su cabeza, ni raerán la punta de su barba, ni en su carne harán rasguños.
6 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God, for they offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the bread of their God. Therefore they shall be holy.
Santos serán á su Dios, y no profanarán el nombre de su Dios; porque los fuegos de Jehová y el pan de su Dios ofrecen: por tanto serán santos.
7 “‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane. A priest shall not marry a woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to his God.
Mujer ramera ó infame no tomarán: ni tomarán mujer repudiada de su marido: porque es santo á su Dios.
8 Therefore you shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy.
Lo santificarás por tanto, pues el pan de tu Dios ofrece: santo será para ti, porque santo soy yo Jehová vuestro santificador.
9 “‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be burnt with fire.
Y la hija del varón sacerdote, si comenzare á fornicar, á su padre amancilla: quemada será al fuego.
10 “‘He who is the high priest amongst his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, or tear his clothes.
Y el sumo sacerdote entre sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fué derramado el aceite de la unción, y que hinchió su mano para vestir las vestimentas, no descubrirá su cabeza, ni romperá sus vestidos:
11 He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father or for his mother.
Ni entrará donde haya alguna persona muerta, ni por su padre, ó por su madre se contaminará.
12 He shall not 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.
Ni saldrá del santuario, ni contaminará el santuario de su Dios; porque la corona del aceite de la unción de su Dios está sobre él: Yo Jehová.
13 “‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.
Y tomará él mujer con su virginidad.
14 He shall not marry a widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. He shall take a virgin of his own people as a wife.
Viuda, ó repudiada, ó infame, ó ramera, éstas no tomará: mas tomará virgen de sus pueblos por mujer.
15 He shall not profane his offspring amongst his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.’”
Y no amancillará su simiente en sus pueblos; porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.
16 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Y Jehová habló á Moisés, diciendo:
17 “Say to Aaron, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God.
Habla á Aarón, y dile: El varón de tu simiente en sus generaciones, en el cual hubiere falta, no se allegará para ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
18 For whatever man he is that has a defect, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,
Porque ningún varón en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará: varón ciego, ó cojo, ó falto, ó sobrado,
19 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
O varón en el cual hubiere quebradura de pie ó rotura de mano,
20 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.
O corcovado, ó lagañoso, ó que tuviere nube en el ojo, ó que tenga sarna, ó empeine, ó compañón relajado;
21 No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
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 á ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
El pan de su Dios, de lo muy santo y las cosas santificadas, comerá.
23 He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a defect; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
Empero no entrará del velo adentro, ni se allegará al altar, por cuanto hay falta en él: y no profanará mi santuario, porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.
24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
Y Moisés habló esto á Aarón, y á sus hijos, y á todos los hijos de Israel.
