Levítico 21

BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Dijo Yahveh a Moisés: Habla a los sacerdotes, hijos de Aarón, y diles: Nadie se haga impuro por el cadáver de alguno de los suyos,	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:
2 como no sea pariente cercano suyo: la madre, el padre, el hijo, la hija, el hermano,	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,
3 una hermana virgen, que viva con él y no haya sido desposada aún; por ella puede hacerse impuro.	3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
4 Pues no debe hacerse impuro, siendo señor entre los suyos; se profanaría.	4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 Los sacerdotes no se raparán la cabeza, ni se cortarán los bordes de la barba, ni se harán incisiones en su cuerpo.	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.
6 Santos han de ser para su Dios y no profanarán el nombre de su Dios, pues son ellos los que presentan los manjares que se han de abrasar para Yahveh, el alimento de su Dios; han de ser santos.	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.
7 No tomarán por esposa a una mujer prostituta ni profanada, ni tampoco una mujer repudiada por su marido; pues el sacerdote está consagrado a su Dios.	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.
8 Le tendrás por santo, porque él es quien presenta el alimento de tu Dios; por tanto será santo para ti, pues santo soy yo, Yahveh, el que os santifico.	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.
9 Si la hija de un sacerdote prostituyéndose se profana, a su padre profana; será quemada.	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.
10 El sumo sacerdote, superior a sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fue derramado el óleo de la unción y que recibió la investidura para vestir los ornamentos, no llevará desgreñada su cabellera ni rasgará sus vestidos,	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;
11 ni se acercará a ningún cadáver; ni siquiera por su padre o por su madre puede hacerse impuro.	11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
12 No saldrá del santuario para no profanar el santuario de su Dios; pues lleva sobre sí la consagración del óleo de la unción de su Dios. Yo, Yahveh.	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.
13 Tomará una virgen por esposa.	13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 No se casará con viuda ni repudiada ni profanada por prostitución, sino que tomará por esposa una virgen de entre su parentela.	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.
15 No profanará su descendencia entre su pueblo, pues soy, yo, Yahveh, el que lo santifico.	15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.
16 Yahveh habló a Moisés y dijo:	16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 Habla a Aarón y dile: Ninguno de tus descendientes en cualquiera de sus generaciones, si tiene un defecto corporal, podrá acercarse a ofrecer el alimento de su Dios;	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.
18 pues ningún hombre que tenga defecto corporal ha de acercarse: ni ciego ni cojo ni deforme ni monstruoso,	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,
19 ni el que tenga roto el pie o la mano;	19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
20 ni jorobado ni raquítico ni enfermo de los ojos, ni el que padezca sarna o tiña, ni el eunuco.	20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
21 Ningún descendiente de Aarón que tenga defecto corporal puede acercarse a ofrecer los manjares que se abrasan en honor de Yahveh. Tiene defecto; no se acercará a ofrecer los manjares que se abrasan en honor de Yahveh. Tiene defecto; no se acercará a ofrecer el alimento de su Dios.	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.
22 Sin embargo, podrá comer el alimento de su Dios, las cosas sacratísimas, y las sagradas;	22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23 mas no entrará hasta el velo ni se acercará al altar, porque tiene defecto, para no profanar mi santuario, pues yo soy Yahveh, el que los santifico.	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.
24 Moisés dijo esto a Aarón y a sus hijos y a todos los israelitas.	24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
