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 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:
2 sayen nina kial, papa tumal, wen se natul, acn se natul, tamulel se lal,
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,
3 ku tamtael lolap se lal su muta in lohm sel.
And for a maiden sister, who hath had no husband:
4 El fah tia akfohkfokyal sifacna ke misa lun mwet su kupasr nu sel ke sripen payuk.
But not even for the prince of his people shall he do any thing that may make him unclean.
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, nor their beard, nor 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 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.
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 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,
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 offer the leaves of proposition. Let them therefore be holy, because I also am holy, the Lord, who sanctify 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 be taken in whoredom, and dishonour the name of her father, she shall be burnt with 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 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:
11 El fah tia som nu yen mano misa oan we — finne papa tumal ku nina kial, el fah tia akkolukyal kac.
Nor shall he go in at all to any dead person: not even for his father, or his mother, shall he be defiled:
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 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.
13 El fah payuk sin sie virgin,
He shall take a virgin unto 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 that is divorced, or defiled, or a harlot, he shall not take, but a maid of 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 kindred with the common people of his nation: for I am the Lord who sanctify 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: Whosoever of thy seed throughout their families, hath a blemish, he shall not offer 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 be blind, if he be lame, if he have a little, or a great, or a crooked nose,
19 tia sie su ulla pao ku nia;
If his foot, or if his hand be 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 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:
21 Wangin mwet in fwil natul Aaron, mwet tol, su oasr acn musalla in mano fah oru kisa mwe mongo nu sik.
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.
22 Kain mwet se inge ku in kang mwe mongo ma kisakinyuk nu sik, kewana mongo mutal ac mongo arulana mutal,
He shall eat nevertheless of the loaves, that 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.”
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.
24 Pa inge ma Moses el fahk nu sel Aaron, nu sin wen natul Aaron, ac mwet Israel nukewa.
Moses therefore spoke to Aaron, and to his sons and to all Israel, all the things that had been commanded him.
