Levítico 22

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Habló Yahveh a Moisés y dijo:	1 The Lord also spoke to Moses saying:
2 Di a Aarón y a sus hijos que se abstengan de algunas ofrendas sagradas que los israelitas me consagran, para no profanar mi santo nombre. Yo, Yahveh.	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 Diles: Cualquier descendiente vuestro, en todas las generaciones, que, estando impuro, se acerque a las cosas sagradas que los israelitas consagran a Yahveh, ése será exterminado de mi presencia. Yo, Yahveh.	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 flujo comerá de las cosas sagradas hasta que se purifique. El que toque lo que es impuro por un cadáver, o el que haya tenido un derrame seminal,	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 el que haya tocado un bicho que le ha hecho impuro o a un hombre que le ha hecho impuro con cualquier clase de impureza;	5 and whoever has touched a creeping thing, or any kind of unclean thing, the touching of which is filthy,
6 quien toque estas cosas, quedará impuro hasta la tarde, y no comerá de las cosas sagradas, sino que lavará su cuerpo 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 puesto el sol, quedará limpio y podrá luego comer de las cosas sagradas, pues 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 animal muerto o destrozado que le haga impuro. Yo, Yahveh.	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 guarden mis observancias, no sea que, cargados así de pecado, al profanarlas mueran por ello. Yo, Yahveh, el 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 laico comerá de las cosas sagradas; ningún huésped del sacerdote ni jornalero suyo comerá de las cosas sagradas.	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 con su dinero compra una persona, ésta podrá comer de las cosas sagradas; y también el siervo nacido en la casa: ambos pueden comer del pan del sacerdote.	11 But whomever the priest has bought, and whoever has been born into his house, these shall eat from them.
12 La hija de un sacerdote, casada con un laico, no podrá comer de la ofrenda reservada de las cosas 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 sin tener prole vuelve a la casa de su padre, podrá comer del pan de su padre, como en su juventud. Pero ningún laico 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 Quien, por inadvertencia, coma de cosa sagrada, la restituirá al sacerdote, añadiendo un quinto de más.	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 No profanen, pues, las cosas sagradas de los israelitas, reservadas para Yahveh,	15 And they shall not contaminate what has been sanctified from the sons of Israel, which they offer to the Lord,
16 porque al comerlas cargarían con una iniquidad que debe ser reparada. Yo soy Yahveh, el 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 Yahveh habló a Moisés, diciendo:	17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
18 Habla a Aarón y a sus hijos, y a todos los israelitas y diles: Si alguno de la casa de Israel, o de los forasteros residentes en Israel, en cumplimiento de un voto, o como ofrenda voluntaria, presenta una ofrenda que como holocausto ofrece a Yahveh	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 os alcance favor, la víctima habrá de ser macho, sin defecto, buey, oveja o cabra.	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 ofrezcáis nada defectuoso, pues no os sería aceptado.	20 If it has a blemish, you shall not offer it, and it shall not be acceptable.
21 Si alguno ofrece a Yahveh ganado mayor o menor como sacrificio de comunión, sea en cumplimiento de un voto, o como ofrenda voluntaria, ha de ser una res sin defecto para alcanzar favor; no debe tener defecto alguno.	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 presentaréis ante Yahveh animal ciego, quebrado, mutilado, ulcerado, sarnoso o ruin; de ellos nada pondréis en el altar como manjar que se abrasa para Yahveh.	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 Si es buey u oveja desproporcionado o enano, podréis presentarlo como ofrenda voluntaria, pero no será aceptado en cumplimiento de 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 No ofreceréis a Yahveh animal que tenga los testículos aplastados, majados, arrancados o cortados. No hagáis est en vuestra 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 Y de esto nada recibiréis de la mano del extranjero como alimento de vuestro Dios, porque su deformidad es un defecto; no os 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 Habló Yahveh a Moisés, diciendo:	26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
27 Cuando nazca un ternero, o un cordero, o cabrito, quedará siete días con su madre; y desde el día octavo en adelante será grato como ofrenda de manjar abrasado para Yahveh.	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 No inmoléis en el mismo día vaca u oveja juntamente con su cría.	28 Whether it is an ox, or a sheep, they shall not be immolated on the same day with their newborns.
29 Al sacrificar a Yahveh un sacrificio de alabanza, lo haréis de tal modo que os 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 en el mismo día, sin dejar nada de él hasta la mañana siguiente. Yo, Yahveh.	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 Guardad mis mandamientos y cumplidlos. Yo, Yahveh.	31 Observe my commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.
32 No profanéis mi santo nombre, para que yo sea santificado en medio de los israelitas. Yo soy Yahveh, el que os santifica, 33 el que os ha sacado de la tierra de Egipto para ser vuestro Dios. Yo, Yahveh.	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 and who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I may be to you as God. I am the Lord.
