Leviticus 21

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:

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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;

"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.

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

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

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

And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

Neka za ženu uzme djevicu.

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.

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

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

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

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Jahve reče Mojsiju:

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.

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

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,

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

Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,

nitko tko ima slomljenu nogu ili ruku;

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.'"

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

Mojsije to kaza Aronu, njegovim sinovima i svim Izraelcima.
