Leviticus 21

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	VULGATA
1 And the LORD said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them that none of them shall defile himself for the dead among his people,	1 Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen : Loquere ad sacerdotes filios Aaron, et dices ad eos : Ne contaminetur sacerdos in mortibus civium suorum,
2 except for his nearest of kin, his mother, his father, his son, his daughter, his brother,	2 nisi tantum in consanguineis, ac propinquis, id est, super patre et matre, et filio, et filia, fratre quoque,
3 or his virgin sister (who is near to him because she has had no husband; for her he may defile himself).	3 et sorore virgine quæ non est nupta viro :
4 He shall not defile himself as a husband among his people and so profane himself.	4 sed nec in principe populi sui contaminabitur.
5 They shall not make tonsures upon their heads, nor shave off the edges of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.	5 Non radent caput, nec barbam, neque in carnibus suis facient incisuras.
6 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings by fire to the LORD, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.	6 Sancti erunt Deo suo, et non polluent nomen ejus : incensum enim Domini, et panes Dei sui offerunt, et ideo sancti erunt.
7 They shall not marry a harlot or a woman who has been defiled; neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband; for the priest is holy to his God.	7 Scortum et vile prostibulum non ducent uxorem, nec eam quæ repudiata est a marito : quia consecrati sunt Deo suo,
8 You shall consecrate him, for he offers the bread of your God; he shall be holy to you; for I the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy.	8 et panes propositionis offerunt. Sint ergo sancti, quia et ego sanctus sum, Dominus qui sanctifico eos.
9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the harlot, profanes her father; she shall be burned with fire.	9 Sacerdotis filia si deprehensa fuerit in stupro, et violaverit nomen patris sui, flammis exuretur.
10 "The priest who is chief among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who has been consecrated to wear the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, nor rend his clothes;	10 Pontifex, id est, sacerdos maximus inter fratres suos, super cujus caput fusum est unctionis oleum, et cujus manus in sacerdotio consecratæ sunt, vestitusque est sanctis vestibus, caput suum non discooperiet, vestimenta non scindet :
11 he shall not go in to any dead body, nor defile himself, even for his father or for his mother;	11 et ad omnem mortuum non ingredietur omnino : super patre quoque suo et matre non contaminabitur.
12 neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.	12 Nec egredietur de sanctis, ne polluat sanctuarium Domini, quia oleum sanctæ unctionis Dei sui super eum est. Ego Dominus.
13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.	13 Virginem ducet uxorem :
14 A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a harlot, these he shall not marry; but he shall take to wife a virgin of his own people,	14 viduam autem et repudiatam, et sordidam, atque meretricem non accipiet, sed puellam de populo suo :
15 that he may not profane his children among his people; for I am the LORD who sanctify him."	15 ne commisceat stirpem generis sui vulgo gentis suæ : quia ego Dominus, qui sanctifico eum.
16 And the LORD said to Moses,	16 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :
17 "Say to Aaron, None of your descendants throughout their generations who has a blemish may approach to offer the bread of his God.	17 Loquere ad Aaron : Homo de semine tuo per familias qui habuerit maculam, non offeret panes Deo suo,
18 For no one who has a blemish shall draw near, a man blind or lame, or one who has a mutilated face or a limb too long,	18 nec accedet ad ministerium ejus : si cæcus fuerit, si claudus, si parvo vel grandi, vel torto naso,
19 or a man who has an injured foot or an injured hand,	19 si fracto pede, si manu,
20 or a hunchback, or a dwarf, or a man with a defect in his sight or an itching disease or scabs or crushed testicles;	20 si gibbus, si lippus, si albuginem habens in oculo, si jugem scabiem, si impetiginem in corpore, vel herniosus.
21 no man of the descendants of Aaron the priest who has a blemish shall come near to offer the LORD's offerings by fire; since he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.	21 Omnis qui habuerit maculam de semine Aaron sacerdotis, non accedet offerre hostias Domino, nec panes Deo suo :
22 He may eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy and of the holy things,	22 vescetur tamen panibus qui offeruntur in sanctuario,
23 but he shall not come near the veil or approach the altar, because he has a blemish, that he may not profane my sanctuaries; for I am the LORD who sanctify them."	23 ita dumtaxat, ut intra velum non ingrediatur, nec accedat ad altare, quia maculam habet, et contaminare non debet sanctuarium meum. Ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos.
24 So Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons and to all the people of Israel.	24 Locutus est ergo Moyses ad Aaron, et ad filios ejus, et ad omnem Israël cuncta quæ fuerant sibi imperata.
