Leviticus 21

KING JAMES BIBLE	Biblia Sagrada
1 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:	1 El Señor habló así a Moisés: «Di a los sacerdotes, hijos de Aarón: “Que ninguno contraiga impureza con el cadáver de alguno de los suyos,
2 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,	2 a no ser con el de un pariente cercano: la madre, el padre, un hijo, una hija, un hermano,
3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.	3 una hermana virgen que viva con él y no haya sido desposada aún; por ella sí puede contraer impureza.
4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.	4 Pero por una hermana casada, no debe contraer impureza; quedaría profanado.
5 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.	5 Los sacerdotes no se raparán la cabeza, ni se recortarán los bordes de la barba, ni se harán incisiones en su cuerpo.
6 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.	6 Han de ser santos para su Dios y no profanarán el nombre de su Dios, pues son ellos los que ofrecen los alimentos que se han de quemar para el Señor, el alimento de su Dios. Deben ser santos.
7 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.	7 No tomarán por esposa a una prostituta, ni a una violada, ni a una repudiada por su marido; pues el sacerdote está consagrado a su Dios.
8 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.	8 Considerarás al sacerdote como cosa santa, porque él es quien ofrece el alimento de tu Dios. Lo tendrás por santo, pues santo soy yo, el Señor, el que los santifico.
9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.	9 Si la hija de un sacerdote se prostituye y se profana, a su padre profana; será quemada.
10 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;	10 El sumo sacerdote, el mayor entre sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fue derramado el óleo de la unción y que recibió la investidura revistiéndose los ornamentos, no llevará desgreñada la cabellera ni se rasgará las vestiduras,
11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;	11 ni se acercará a cadáver alguno; ni siquiera por su padre o por su madre se le permite contraer impureza.
12 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.	12 No saldrá del Santuario, y así no profanará el Santuario de su Dios; pues está consagrado con el óleo de la unción de su Dios. Yo soy el Señor.
13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.	13 Tomará por esposa una virgen.
14 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.	14 No se casará con viuda, ni con repudiada, ni con profanada por prostitución, sino que tomará por esposa una virgen de su parentela.
15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.	15 Así no profanará a su descendencia entre su pueblo, pues soy el Señor, el que lo santifico”».
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,	16 El Señor habló a Moisés:
17 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.	17 «Dile a Aarón: “Ninguno de tus descendientes, de cualquier generación, que tenga un defecto corporal, podrá acercarse a ofrecer el alimento de su Dios.
18 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,	18 Ningún hombre que tenga defecto corporal se acercará: ni ciego, ni cojo, ni deforme, ni monstruoso,
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,	19 ni lisiado, ni manco;
20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;	20 ni jorobado, ni raquítico, ni con defecto en un ojo, ni sarnoso o tiñoso, ni eunuco.
21 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.	21 Ningún descendiente de Aarón que tenga defecto corporal puede acercarse a ofrecer las oblaciones quemadas en honor del Señor. Al tener un defecto, no puede acercarse a ofrecer el alimento de su Dios.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.	22 Podrá comer del alimento de su Dios, de las cosas santísimas y de las santas;
23 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.	23 mas no podrá traspasar el velo ni acercarse al altar, porque tiene un defecto y profanaría mi Santuario, pues yo soy el Señor, el que los santifico”».
24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.	24 Moisés comunicó esto a Aarón y a sus hijos y a todo Israel.
