Leviticus 22
1 locutus quoque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 loquere ad Aaron et ad filios eius ut caveant ab his quae consecrata sunt filiorum Israhel et non contaminent nomen sanctificatorum mihi quae ipsi offerunt ego Dominus
“Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.
3 dic ad eos et ad posteros eorum omnis homo qui accesserit de stirpe vestra ad ea quae consecrata sunt et quae obtulerunt filii Israhel Domino in quo est inmunditia peribit coram Domino ego sum Dominus
“Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am the LORD.
4 homo de semine Aaron qui fuerit leprosus aut patiens fluxum seminis non vescetur de his quae sanctificata sunt mihi donec sanetur qui tetigerit inmundum super mortuo et ex quo egreditur semen quasi coitus
“‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission,
5 et qui tangit reptile et quodlibet inmundum cuius tactus est sordidus
or whoever touches any creeping thing by which he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has—
6 inmundus erit usque ad vesperum et non vescetur his quae sanctificata sunt sed cum laverit carnem suam aqua
the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body in water.
7 et occubuerit sol tunc mundatus vescetur de sanctificatis quia cibus illius est
When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8 morticinum et captum a bestia non comedent nec polluentur in eis ego sum Dominus
He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am the LORD.
9 custodient praecepta mea ut non subiaceant peccato et moriantur in sanctuario cum polluerint illud ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos
“‘They shall therefore follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
10 omnis alienigena non comedet de sanctificatis inquilinus sacerdotis et mercennarius non vescentur ex eis
“‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11 quem autem sacerdos emerit et qui vernaculus domus eius fuerit hii comedent ex eis
But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.
12 si filia sacerdotis cuilibet ex populo nupta fuerit de his quae sanctificata sunt et de primitiis non vescetur
If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
13 sin autem vidua vel repudiata et absque liberis reversa fuerit ad domum patris sui sicut puella consuerat aletur cibis patris sui omnis alienigena comedendi ex eis non habet potestatem
But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.
14 qui comederit de sanctificatis per ignorantiam addet quintam partem cum eo quod comedit et dabit sacerdoti in sanctuarium
“‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
15 nec contaminabunt sanctificata filiorum Israhel quae offerunt Domino
The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD,
16 ne forte sustineant iniquitatem delicti sui cum sanctificata comederint ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos
and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
17 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
18 loquere ad Aaron et filios eius et ad omnes filios Israhel dicesque ad eos homo de domo Israhel et de advenis qui habitant apud vos qui obtulerit oblationem suam vel vota solvens vel sponte offerens quicquid illud obtulerit in holocaustum Domini
“Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering:
19 ut offeratur per vos masculus inmaculatus erit ex bubus et ex ovibus et ex capris
that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 si maculam habuerit non offeretis neque erit acceptabile
But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21 homo qui obtulerit victimam pacificorum Domino vel vota solvens vel sponte offerens tam de bubus quam de ovibus inmaculatum offeret ut acceptabile sit omnis macula non erit in eo
Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.
22 si caecum fuerit si fractum si cicatricem habens si papulas aut scabiem vel inpetiginem non offeretis ea Domino neque adolebitis ex eis super altare Domini
You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD.
23 bovem et ovem aure et cauda amputatis voluntarie offerre potes votum autem ex his solvi non potest
Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24 omne animal quod vel contritis vel tunsis vel sectis ablatisque testiculis est non offeretis Domino et in terra vestra hoc omnino ne faciatis
You must not offer to the LORD that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.
25 de manu alienigenae non offeretis panes Deo vestro et quicquid aliud dare voluerint quia corrupta et maculata sunt omnia non suscipietis ea
You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”
26 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
27 bos ovis et capra cum genita fuerint septem diebus erunt sub ubere matris suae die autem octavo et deinceps offerri poterunt Domino
“When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to the LORD.
28 sive illa bos sive ovis non immolabuntur una die cum fetibus suis
Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29 si immolaveritis hostiam pro gratiarum actione Domino ut possit esse placabilis
“When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
30 eodem die comedetis eam non remanebit quicquam in mane alterius diei ego Dominus
It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am the LORD.
31 custodite mandata mea et facite ea ego Dominus
“Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am the LORD.
32 ne polluatis nomen meum sanctum ut sanctificer in medio filiorum Israhel ego Dominus qui sanctifico vos
You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy amongst the children of Israel. I am the LORD who makes you holy,
33 et eduxi de terra Aegypti ut essem vobis in Deum ego Dominus
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am the LORD.”
