1 El Señor dijo a Moisés:1 The Lord also spoke to Moses saying:
2 Instruye a Aarón y a sus hijos, para que tengan mucho cuidado con los dones sagrados que me consagran los israelitas, no sea que profanen mi santo Nombre. Yo soy el Señor.2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, so that they may be careful of those things which have been consecrated for the sons of Israel, and so that they may not contaminate the name of the things sanctified to me, which they offer. I am the Lord.
3 Por eso, diles lo siguiente: Si alguno de sus descendientes, en cualquier generación, participa en estado de impureza de los dones sagrados que los israelitas consagran al Señor, será excluido de mi presencia. Yo soy el Señor.3 Say to them and to their posterity: Every man of your stock, who approaches toward those things which have been consecrated, and which the sons of Israel have brought forward to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall perish before the Lord. I am the Lord.
4 Ningún descendiente de Aarón que sea leproso o padezca de blenorrea, podrá comer de los dones sagrados hasta que quede purificado. Si alguien toca lo que se ha vuelto impuro a causa de un cadáver, o si tiene una eyaculación,4 The man of the offspring of Aaron, who is a leper or who is suffering a flow of seed, shall not eat of those things which have been sanctified to me, until he is healed. Whoever will have touched what is unclean because of the dead, and he whose seed goes out from him, as if from sexual intercourse,
5 o si toca algún animal o algún ser humano que lo hace impuro –cualquiera sea la clase de impureza–5 and whoever has touched a creeping thing, or any kind of unclean thing, the touching of which is filthy,
6 si alguien toca algo de eso, será impuro hasta la tarde y no comerá de las cosas sagradas sin lavarse antes con agua.6 shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat those things which have been sanctified. But when he has washed his flesh with water,
7 Al ponerse el sol quedará puro, y entonces podrá comer de las cosas sagradas, porque son su alimento.7 and the sun has set, then, having been purified, he shall eat from what has been sanctified, because it is his food.
8 No comerá ningún animal muerto o despedazado por las fieras, porque de lo contrario incurriría en impureza. Yo soy el Señor.8 Whatever dies on its own, and whatever has been seized by a wild beast, they shall not eat, nor shall they be polluted by these. I am the Lord.
9 Que observen mis prescripciones, no sea que carguen con un pecado a causa del alimento, y mueran por haberlo profanado. Yo soy el Señor, que los santifico.9 Let them observe my precepts, so that they may not fall under sin, and die in the Sanctuary, when they will have defiled it. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.
10 Ningún extraño podrá comer de las cosas sagradas, ni tampoco lo harán el huésped o el jornalero de un sacerdote.10 No foreigner shall eat from what has been sanctified; a guest of the priests and a hired servant shall not eat from them.
11 Pero si un sacerdote adquiere con su dinero un esclavo, este podrá comer de las cosas sagradas; y también los esclavos nacidos en su casa podrán comer de su pan.11 But whomever the priest has bought, and whoever has been born into his house, these shall eat from them.
12 Si la hija de un sacerdote se casa con alguien que no es sacerdote, ella no podrá comer de las ofrendas sagradas.12 If the daughter of a priest has been married to any of the people, she shall not eat from what has been sanctified, nor from the first-fruits.
13 Pero si la hija de un sacerdote queda viuda o es repudiada y, no teniendo hijos, vuelve a la casa de su padre como en su juventud, podrá comer del pan de su padre. Ningún extraño comerá de él;13 But if she is a widow or divorced, and, being without children, she returns to her father’s house, she shall be nourished by her father’s foods, just as she was accustomed to do as a girl. No foreigner shall have the authority to eat from them.
14 y si alguien, por inadvertencia, come de una ofrenda sagrada, deberá restituirla al sacerdote, añadiendo además una quinta parte de su valor.14 Whoever, through ignorance, eats from what has been sanctified shall add a fifth part to that which he ate, and he shall give it to the priest at the Sanctuary.
15 Los sacerdotes no permitirán que los israelitas profanen los dones sagrados que ellos reservan para el Señor,15 And they shall not contaminate what has been sanctified from the sons of Israel, which they offer to the Lord,
16 o que carguen con un pecado que exige una reparación, por comer esos dones sagrados. Porque yo soy el Señor, que los santifico.16 lest perhaps they may suffer the iniquity of their offense, when they will have eaten what has been sanctified. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.
17 El Señor dijo a Moisés:17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
18 Habla en estos término a Aarón y a sus hijos, y a todos los israelitas: Si un hombre de la casa de Israel, o alguno de los extranjero residentes en Israel presenta su ofrenda al señor para un holocausto –ya sea en cumplimiento de un voto o como ofrenda voluntaria–18 Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man from the house of Israel, or from the newcomers who live with you, who would bring forward his oblation, either fulfilling his vows or offering spontaneously, whatever he brings forward as a holocaust for the Lord,
19 para que esa ofrenda le sea aceptada, tendrá que ser buey, oveja o cabra, macho y sin defecto.19 in order to be offered through you, shall offer an immaculate male from the oxen, or from the sheep, or from the goats.
20 No ofrezcan nada que tenga algún defecto, porque no les será aceptado.20 If it has a blemish, you shall not offer it, and it shall not be acceptable.
21 Y si alguien –sea en cumplimiento de un voto especial o como ofrenda voluntaria– presenta al Señor en sacrificio de comunión un animal del ganado mayor o menor, para que esa ofrenda le sea aceptada, tendrá que ser sin defecto: no habrá en ella ninguna imperfección.21 The man who will have offered a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, either fulfilling his vows or offering spontaneously, whether of oxen, or of sheep, shall offer what is immaculate, so that it may be acceptable. There shall be no blemish in it.
22 No deberán ofrecer ni presentar como ofrenda que se quema para el Señor ningún animal ciego, estropeado o mutilado, ulcerado, sarnoso o purulento.22 If it is blind, or if it is broken, or if it has a scar, or if it is has a boil, or a skin disease or infection, you shall not offer these to the Lord, nor shall you burn any of these upon the altar of the Lord.
23 En cambio, podrán ofrecer como ofrenda voluntaria un buey o una oveja con un miembro demasiado largo o demasiado corto; pero no les será aceptado en cumplimiento de un voto.23 An ox or a sheep, having an amputated ear or tail, you are able to offer voluntarily, but a vow is not able to be fulfilled by these.
24 Tampoco ofrecerán animales con los testículos aplastados, destrozados, arrancados o cortados. No harán nada de esto en su tierra,24 You shall not offer to the Lord any animal which has the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away, and you shall not cause any of these things in your land.
25 ni aceptarán estos animales a los extranjeros para ofrecerlos como alimento de su Dios, porque en ellos hay una deformidad y tienen un defecto. Por eso no les serán aceptados.25 From the hand of a foreigner, you shall not offer bread to your God, nor anything else that he would choose to give; for all this has been corrupted and blemished. You shall not accept them.
26 El Señor dijo a Moisés:26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
27 Cuando nazca un ternero, un cordero o un cabrito, estará siete días con su madre, y a partir del octavo será aceptado como ofrenda que se quema para el Señor.27 An ox, a sheep, or a goat, when they have been born, shall be under the udder of their mother for seven days. But on the eighth day and thereafter, they are able to be offered to the Lord.
28 Pero no inmolarán ningún animal del ganado mayor o menor junto con su cría, en un mismo día.28 Whether it is an ox, or a sheep, they shall not be immolated on the same day with their newborns.
29 Cuando ofrezcan al Señor un sacrificio de acción de gracias, háganlo de tal manera que les sea aceptado.29 If you immolate a victim as an act of thanksgiving to the Lord, so that he may be pleased,
30 Será comido ese mismo día; no dejarán nada para el día siguiente. Yo soy el Señor.30 you shall eat it on the same day; none of it shall remain until morning on the next day. I am the Lord.
31 Observen fielmente mis mandamientos. Yo soy el Señor.31 Observe my commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.
32 No profanen mi santo Nombre, para que yo sea santificado en medio de los israelitas. Yo soy el Señor, que los santifico,32 Do not pollute my holy name, so that I may be sanctified in the midst of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord, who sanctifies you,
33 el que los hizo salir de Egipto para ser su Dios. Yo soy el señor.33 and who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I may be to you as God. I am the Lord.
