Leviticus 21
1 LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses elan fahkang nu sin mwet tol in fwil natul Aaron, ac fahk, “Wangin mwet tol fah sifacna oru elan tia nasnas ke sripen el wi orekma ke mas misa ke pacl sie mwet in sou lal ah misa,
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 sayen nina kial, papa tumal, wen se natul, acn se natul, tamulel se lal,
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 ku tamtael lolap se lal su muta in lohm sel.
or a virgin sister, who is not married to a husband.
4 El fah tia akfohkfokyal sifacna ke misa lun mwet su kupasr nu sel ke sripen payuk.
But not even by the leader of his people shall he be contaminated.
5 “Wangin mwet tol ac fah resai kutena ip ke sifal, ku kalla sisken alut lal, ku sipik manol in akkalemye lah el asor.
Neither shall they shave their head or their beard, and they shall not make incisions in their flesh.
6 Enenu elan mutal na ac tia aklusrongtenye Inek. El oru kisa ke mwe mongo nu sik, ke ma inge el enenu in mutal.
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 Sie mwet tol fah tiana payuk sin sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal, ku sie mutan su tia virgin, ku sie su mukul tumal sisella. Sie mwet tol el mutal.
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 Enenu mwet uh in akilen mu mwet tol el sie mwet mutal, mweyen el oru kisa ke mwe mongo nu sik. Nga pa LEUM GOD. Nga mutal ac nga oru mwet luk in mutal.
and they offer the bread of the presence. Therefore, let them be holy, for I also am holy: the Lord, who sanctifies them.
9 Fin acn nutin sie mwet tol el orek kosro in eis moul kac, el akmwekinye papa tumal, na enenu in isisyak el nwe ke el misa.
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 “Oil in akmusra okwokyang tari nu fin sifen Mwet Tol Fulat, ac el akmutalyeyuk in nukum nuknuk lun mwet tol. Ke ma inge tia enenu in miraung sifal, ac el tia enenu in seya nuknuk lal in akkalemye lah el asor.
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 El fah tia som nu yen mano misa oan we — finne papa tumal ku nina kial, el fah tia akkolukyal kac.
And he shall not enter to any dead body whatsoever; likewise, not even by his father or mother shall he be contaminated.
12 Oil in akmusra lun God lal oan facl, ke ma inge el fah tia akfohkfokye Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik ke el illa liki in som nu ke mas misa. Nga LEUM GOD.
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 El fah payuk sin sie virgin,
He shall take a virgin as his wife.
14 ac tia sie katinmas ku sie mutan su mukul tumal sisella, ku sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal. El fah payukna sin sie virgin in sruf lal sifacna.
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 El fin tia oru ma inge, tulik natul, su fal in mutal, ac fah tia nasnas. Nga LEUM GOD, ac nga srella tari tuh elan Mwet Tol Fulat.”
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 LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses, ac fahk,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 “Fahkang nu sel Aaron, wangin sie mwet inmasrlon sou lom su oasr kutena acn sukapas ke mano fah ase nu sik mwe kisa mongo. Oakwuk se inge ac fah ma nwe tok.
Say to Aaron: A man from your offspring, throughout their families, who has a blemish, shall not offer the bread to his God.
18 Wangin sie mwet su sukapas in mano fah orek kisa: tia sie su kun, ku ul, ku musalla mano, ku fihkala;
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 tia sie su ulla pao ku nia;
if his foot or hand is broken,
20 tia sie su foingyak ku sie su srikac; tia sie su maskin muta ku mas ke kolo; ac tia sie eunuch.
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 Wangin mwet in fwil natul Aaron, mwet tol, su oasr acn musalla in mano fah oru kisa mwe mongo nu sik.
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 Kain mwet se inge ku in kang mwe mongo ma kisakinyuk nu sik, kewana mongo mutal ac mongo arulana mutal,
Nevertheless, he shall eat from the loaves which are offered in the Sanctuary.
23 tusruktu ke sripen el sukapas in mano, el fah tia kalukyang nu ke lisrlisr mutal, ku tuku apkuran nu ke loang uh. El fah tiana akkolukye ma mutal inge, mweyen nga LEUM GOD, ac nga oru tuh ma inge in mutal.”
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 Pa inge ma Moses el fahk nu sel Aaron, nu sin wen natul Aaron, ac mwet Israel nukewa.
Therefore, Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all of Israel, everything that had been commanded to him.
