Leviticus 21

Jahve još reče Mojsiju: "Govori svećenicima, Aronovim sinovima, i reci im: Neka se nitko ne okalja dodirom pokojnika u svome narodu,

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:

osim svoje najbliže rodbine: svoje majke, svoga oca, svoga sina, svoje kćeri i svojega brata.

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,

I svojom sestrom, djevicom, koja mu je također najbliža, jer nije bila udata, može se okaljati.

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

Ali neka se ne okalja svojom svojtom i tako se oskvrne.

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

Neka ne briju glave; neka ne šišaju okrajke svojih brada niti prave ureze na svome tijelu.

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.

Neka budu posvećeni svome Bogu; neka ne oskvrnjuju ime svoga Boga, jer oni prinose žrtve u čast Jahvi paljene, hranu Boga svoga. Zato moraju biti sveti.

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.

Neka se ne žene javnom bludnicom i obeščašćenom ženom; niti se smiju ženiti onom koju je njezin muž otpustio. Jer je svećenik posvećen svome Bogu.

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.

Svetim ga drži, jer on prinosi hranu tvoga Boga. Neka ti je svet, jer sam svet ja, Jahve, koji vas posvećujem.

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.

Ako se kći kojeg svećenika oskvrne podavši se javnom bludništvu, ona oca svoga skvrne, pa se mora na vatri spaliti."

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

"A svećenik koji je najveći među svojom braćom, na čiju je glavu bilo izliveno ulje pomazanja i koji je posvećen da nosi svetu odjeću, neka ne ide raščupane kose niti razdire svoje odjeće.

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;

Neka ne ulazi nijednom mrtvacu; ne smije se okaljati ni za svojim ocem ni za svojom majkom.

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

Neka ne izlazi iz Svetišta, tako da ne oskvrne Svetište svoga Boga, jer na sebi nosi posvećenje uljem pomazanja Boga svoga. Ja sam Jahve!

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.

Neka za ženu uzme djevicu.

And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

Udovicom, otpuštenicom, obeščašćenom i bludnicom ne smije se ženiti. Jedino djevicom između svoga naroda neka se ženi;

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.

tako neće oskvrnuti svoga potomstva među svojim narodom, jer ja, Jahve, njega posvećujem."

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

Jahve reče Mojsiju:

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

"Reci Aronu: 'Nitko od tvojih potomaka, za njihovih naraštaja, koji imadne kakvu tjelesnu manu ne smije se primaknuti da prinosi hranu svoga Boga.

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.

Ni jedan na kome bude mane ne smije se primaknuti: nitko koji je slijep ili sakat; nitko izobličen ili iznakažena kojeg uda;

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,

nitko tko ima slomljenu nogu ili ruku;

Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,

ni poguren, ni kržljav, ni bolesnih očiju, ni lišajav, ni krastav, niti uškopljenik.

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

Dakle, ni jedan od potomaka svećenika Arona koji imadne manu neka se ne primiče da prinosi u čast Jahvi paljenu žrtvu; budući da ima manu, neka se ne primiče da prinosi hranu svoga Boga.

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.

Može blagovati hranu svoga Boga i od žrtava presvetih, i svetih,

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

ali neka ne dolazi k zavjesi niti se žrtveniku primiče jer ima manu. Neka ne skvrne mojih svetih stvari, jer sam ih ja, Jahve, posvetio.'"

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.

Mojsije to kaza Aronu, njegovim sinovima i svim Izraelcima.

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