Levitski Zakonik 21
1 Još reèe Gospod Mojsiju: kaži sveštenicima sinovima Aronovijem, i reci im: za mrtvacem da se ne skvrni ni jedan u narodu svojem,
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 Osim za rodom svojim po krvi, za materom svojom ili za ocem svojim ili za sinom svojim ili za kæerju svojom ili za bratom svojim,
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 Ili za roðenom sestrom svojom, djevojkom, koja nije imala muža; za njom se može oskvrniti.
or a virgin sister, who is not married to a husband.
4 Ako je oženjen, da se ne oskvrni za ženom svojom u narodu svojem uèinivši se neèist.
But not even by the leader of his people shall he be contaminated.
5 Da se ne naèine æelavi èupajuæi kosu s glave svoje i da ne briju brade svoje, niti se režu po tijelu svojem.
Neither shall they shave their head or their beard, and they shall not make incisions in their flesh.
6 Neka budu sveti Bogu svojemu, i neka ne skvrne imena Boga svojega, jer prinose žrtve ognjene Gospodnje, hljeb Boga svojega, zato neka su sveti.
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 Neka se ne žene ženom kurvom ili silovanom; ni puštenicom neka se ne žene; jer su sveti Bogu svojemu.
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 I tebi neka je svaki svet, jer prinosi hljeb Boga tvojega; svet neka ti je, jer sam ja svet, Gospod, koji vas posveæujem.
and they offer the bread of the presence. Therefore, let them be holy, for I also am holy: the Lord, who sanctifies them.
9 A kæi sveštenièka koja se oskvrni kurvajuæi se, skvrni oca svojega, ognjem neka se spali.
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 A sveštenik najviši izmeðu braæe svoje, kojemu se na glavu izlilo ulje pomazanja i koji je posveæen da se oblaèi u svete haljine, neka ne otkriva glave svoje, i haljina svojih neka ne razdire.
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 I k mrtvacu nijednom neka ne ide, ni za ocem svojim ni za materom svojom da se ne oskvrni.
And he shall not enter to any dead body whatsoever; likewise, not even by his father or mother shall he be contaminated.
12 I iz svetinje neka ne izlazi, da ne bi oskvrnio svetinju Boga svojega, jer je na njemu vijenac, ulje pomazanja Boga njegova; ja sam Gospod.
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 On neka se ženi djevojkom.
He shall take a virgin as his wife.
14 Udovicom ni puštenicom ni silovanom ni kurvom da se ne ženi; nego djevojkom iz naroda svojega neka se oženi.
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 I neka ne skvrni sjemena svojega u narodu svojem, jer sam ja Gospod, koji ga posveæujem.
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 Opet reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 Kaži Aronu i reci: u koga bi iz sjemena tvojega od koljena do koljena bila mana na tijelu, onaj neka ne pristupa da prinosi hljeb Boga svojega.
Say to Aaron: A man from your offspring, throughout their families, who has a blemish, shall not offer the bread to his God.
18 Jer niko na kome bi bila mana ne valja da pristupa, ni slijep, ni hrom, ni u koga bi bio koji ud preveæ mali ili preveæ veliki,
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 Ni u koga je slomljena noga ili ruka.
if his foot or hand is broken,
20 Ni grbav, ni drljav, ni ko ima bionu na oku, ni šugav, ni lišajiv, ni prosut.
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 U koga bi god iz sjemena Arona sveštenika bila kaka mana na tijelu, neka ne pristupa da prinosi žrtve ognjene Gospodu; mana je na njemu; da ne pristupa da prinosi hljeb Boga svojega.
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 Ali hljeb Boga svojega od stvari presvetih i od stvari svetih neka jede;
Nevertheless, he shall eat from the loaves which are offered in the Sanctuary.
23 Ali za zavjes neka ne ulazi; k oltaru neka se ne približuje, jer je mana na njemu, pa neka ne skvrni svetinje moje, jer sam ja Gospod koji ih posveæujem.
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 I Mojsije kaza to Aronu i sinovima njegovijem i svijem sinovima Izrailjevim.
Therefore, Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all of Israel, everything that had been commanded to him.
