Leviticus 21

وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «كَلِّمْ الْكَهَنَةَ بَنِي هَارُونَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: لاَ يَتَنَجَّسْ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ لِمَيْتٍ فِي قَوْمِهِ،

And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:

إِلاَّ لأَقْرِبَائِهِ الأَقْرَبِ إِلَيْهِ: أُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ وَابْنِهِ وَابْنَتِهِ وَأَخِيهِ

But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,

وَأُخْتِهِ الْعَذْرَاءِ الْقَرِيبَةِ إِلَيْهِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَصِرْ لِرَجُل. لأَجْلِهَا يَتَنَجَّسُ.

And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.

كَزَوْجٍ لاَ يَتَنَجَّسْ بِأَهْلِهِ لِتَدْنِيسِهِ.

But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.

لاَ يَجْعَلُوا قَرْعَةً فِي رُؤُوسِهِمْ، وَلاَ يَحْلِقُوا عَوَارِضَ لِحَاهُمْ، وَلاَ يَجْرَحُوا جِرَاحَةً فِي أَجْسَادِهِمْ.

They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

مُقَدَّسِينَ يَكُونُونَ لإِلهِهِمْ، وَلاَ يُدَنِّسُونَ اسْمَ إِلهِهِمْ، لأَنَّهُمْ يُقَرِّبُونَ وَقَائِدَ الرَّبِّ طَعَامَ إِلهِهِمْ، فَيَكُونُونَ قُدْسًا.

They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.

إِمْرَأَةً زَانِيَةً أَوْ مُدَنَّسَةً لاَ يَأْخُذُوا، وَلاَ يَأْخُذُوا امْرَأَةً مُطَلَّقَةً مِنْ زَوْجِهَا. لأَنَّهُ مُقَدَّسٌ لإِلهِهِ.

They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God.

فَتَحْسِبُهُ مُقَدَّسًا لأَنَّهُ يُقَرِّبُ خُبْزَ إِلهِكَ. مُقَدَّسًا يَكُونُ عِنْدَكَ لأَنِّي قُدُّوسٌ أَنَا الرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُكُمْ.

Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, am holy.

وَإِذَا تَدَنَّسَتِ ابْنَةُ كَاهِنٍ بِالزِّنَى فَقَدْ دَنَّسَتْ أَبَاهَا. بِالنَّارِ تُحْرَقُ.

And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.

«وَالْكَاهِنُ الأَعْظَمُ بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِ الَّذِي صُبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ دُهْنُ الْمَسْحَةِ، وَمُلِئَتْ يَدُهُ لِيَلْبَسَ الثِّيَابَ، لاَ يَكْشِفُ رَأْسَهُ، وَلاَ يَشُقُّ ثِيَابَهُ،

And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;

وَلاَ يَأْتِي إِلَى نَفْسٍ مَيْتَةٍ، وَلاَ يَتَنَجَّسُ لأَبِيهِ أَوْ أُمِّهِ،

Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;

وَلاَ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَقْدِسِ لِئَلاَّ يُدَنِّسَ مَقْدِسَ إِلهِهِ، لأَنَّ إِكْلِيلَ دُهْنِ مَسْحَةِ إِلهِهِ عَلَيْهِ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

Neither shall he 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.

هذَا يَأْخُذُ امْرَأَةً عَذْرَاءَ.

And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

أَمَّا الأَرْمَلَةُ وَالْمُطَلَّقَةُ وَالْمُدَنَّسَةُ وَالزَّانِيَةُ فَمِنْ هؤُلاَءِ لاَ يَأْخُذُ، بَلْ يَتَّخِذُ عَذْرَاءَ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ امْرَأَةً.

A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.

وَلاَ يُدَنِّسُ زَرْعَهُ بَيْنَ شَعْبِهِ لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُهُ».

Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.

وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلاً:

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

«كَلِّمْ هَارُون قَائِلاً: إِذَا كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ نَسْلِكَ فِي أَجْيَالِهِمْ فِيهِ عَيْبٌ فَلاَ يَتَقَدَّمْ لِيُقَرِّبَ خُبْزَ إِلهِهِ.

Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

لأَنَّ كُلَّ رَجُل فِيهِ عَيْبٌ لاَ يَتَقَدَّمْ. لاَ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى وَلاَ أَعْرَجُ، وَلاَ أَفْطَسُ وَلاَ زَوَائِدِيٌّ،

For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,

وَلاَ رَجُلٌ فِيهِ كَسْرُ رِجْل أَوْ كَسْرُ يَدٍ،

Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,

وَلاَ أَحْدَبُ وَلاَ أَكْشَمُ، وَلاَ مَنْ فِي عَيْنِهِ بَيَاضٌ، وَلاَ أَجْرَبُ وَلاَ أَكْلَفُ، وَلاَ مَرْضُوضُ الْخُصَى.

Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;

كُلُّ رَجُل فِيهِ عَيْبٌ مِنْ نَسْلِ هَارُونَ الْكَاهِنِ لاَ يَتَقَدَّمْ لِيُقَرِّبَ وَقَائِدَ الرَّبِّ. فِيهِ عَيْبٌ لاَ يَتَقَدَّمْ لِيُقَرِّبَ خُبْزَ إِلهِهِ.

No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

خُبْزَ إِلهِهِ مِنْ قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ وَمِنَ الْقُدْسِ يَأْكُلُ.

He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.

لكِنْ إِلَى الْحِجَابِ لاَ يَأْتِي، وَإِلَى الْمَذْبَحِ لاَ يَقْتَرِبُ، لأَنَّ فِيهِ عَيْبًا، لِئَلاَّ يُدَنِّسَ مَقْدِسِي، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُهُمْ».

Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.

فَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى هَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ وَكُلَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
