Leviticus 21

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Biblija Hrvatski
1 The Lord also said to Moses: Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and you shall say to them: Do not allow a priest to be contaminated by the death of his citizens,	1 Jahve još reče Mojsiju: »Govori svećenicima, Aronovim sinovima, i reci im: ‘Neka se nitko ne okalja dodirom pokojnika u svome narodu,
2 except only by his blood-relatives and near-relatives, that is, by a father or mother, or by a son or daughter, or also a brother,	2 osim svoje najbliže rodbine: svoje majke, svoga oca, svoga sina, svoje kćeri i svojega brata.
3 or a virgin sister, who is not married to a husband.	3 I svojom sestrom, djevicom, koja mu je također najbliža, jer nije bila udana, može se okaljati.
4 But not even by the leader of his people shall he be contaminated.	4 Ali neka se ne okalja svojom svojtom i tako se oskvrne.
5 Neither shall they shave their head or their beard, and they shall not make incisions in their flesh.	5 Neka ne briju glave; neka ne šišaju okrajke svojih brada niti prave ureze na svome tijelu.
6 They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not pollute his name. For they offer the incense of the Lord and the bread of their God, and because of this they shall be holy.	6 Neka budu posvećeni svome Bogu; neka ne oskvrnjuju ime svoga Boga, jer oni prinose žrtve u čast Jahvi paljene, hranu Boga svoga. Zato moraju biti sveti.
7 They shall not take as a wife a promiscuous woman, or a prostitute, or her who has been repudiated by her husband. For they are consecrated to their God,	7 Neka se ne žene javnom bludnicom i obeščašćenom ženom; niti se smiju ženiti onom koju je njezin muž otpustio. Jer je svećenik posvećen svome Bogu.
8 and they offer the bread of the presence. Therefore, let them be holy, for I also am holy: the Lord, who sanctifies them.	8 Svetim ga drži, jer on prinosi hranu tvoga Boga. Neka ti je svet, jer sam svet ja, Jahve, koji vas posvećujem.
9 If the daughter of a priest will have been taken into prostitution, and will have violated the name of her father, she shall be consumed by fire.	9 Ako se kći kojeg svećenika oskvrne podavši se javnom bludništvu, ona oca svoga skvrne, pa se mora na vatri spaliti.’
10 The high priest, that is, the priest who is the greatest among his brothers, upon whose head the oil of anointing has been poured, and whose hands have been consecrated for the priesthood, and who has been vested with the holy vestments: he shall not expose his head; he shall not rend his vestments.	10 ‘A svećenik koji je najveći među svojom braćom, na čiju je glavu bilo izliveno ulje pomazanja i koji je posvećen da nosi svetu odjeću, neka ne ide raščupane kose niti razdire svoje odjeće.
11 And he shall not enter to any dead body whatsoever; likewise, not even by his father or mother shall he be contaminated.	11 Neka ne ulazi nijednom mrtvacu; ne smije se okaljati ni za svojim ocem ni za svojom majkom.
12 Neither shall he exit from the holy places, lest he pollute the Sanctuary of the Lord. For the oil of the holy anointing of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.	12 Neka ne izlazi iz svetišta, tako da ne oskvrne svetište svoga Boga, jer na sebi nosi posvećenje uljem pomazanja Boga svoga. Ja sam Jahve!
13 He shall take a virgin as his wife.	13 Neka za ženu uzme djevicu.
14 But a widow, or one who has been repudiated or defiled, or also a mistress, he shall not accept, but only a maiden from among his own people.	14 Udovicom, otpuštenicom, obeščašćenom i bludnicom ne smije se ženiti. Jedino djevicom između svoga naroda neka se ženi;
15 He shall not mingle the stock of his family with the common people of his nation. For I am the Lord, who sanctifies him.	15 tako neće oskvrnuti svoga potomstva među svojim narodom, jer ja, Jahve, njega posvećujem.’«
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:	16 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
17 Say to Aaron: A man from your offspring, throughout their families, who has a blemish, shall not offer the bread to his God.	17 »Reci Aronu: ‘Nitko od tvojih potomaka, za njihovih naraštaja, koji imadne kakvu tjelesnu manu ne smije se primaknuti da prinosi hranu svoga Boga.
18 Neither shall he approach to minister to him: if he is blind, if he is lame, if he is small, or large, or has a crooked nose,	18 Ni jedan na kome bude mane ne smije se primaknuti: nitko koji je slijep ili sakat; nitko izobličen ili iznakažena kojeg uda;
19 if his foot or hand is broken,	19 nitko tko ima slomljenu nogu ili ruku;
20 if he has a bulging back or bleary eyes, or if he has a white spot in his eye, or a chronic scab, or a skin disease on his body, or a hernia.	20 ni poguren, ni kržljav, ni bolesnih očiju, ni lišajav, ni krastav, niti uškopljenik.
21 Anyone from the offspring of Aaron, the priest, who has a blemish, shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor the bread to his God.	21 Dakle, ni jedan od potomaka svećenika Arona koji imadne manu neka se ne primiče da prinosi u čast Jahvi paljenu žrtvu; budući da ima manu, neka se ne primiče da prinosi hranu svoga Boga.
22 Nevertheless, he shall eat from the loaves which are offered in the Sanctuary.	22 Može blagovati hranu svoga Boga i od žrtava presvetih, i svetih,
23 But even so, he may not enter within the veil, nor approach to the altar. For he has a blemish, and he must not contaminate my Sanctuary. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.	23 ali neka ne dolazi k zavjesi niti se žrtveniku primiče jer ima manu. Neka ne skvrne mojih svetih stvari, jer sam ih ja, Jahve, posvetio.’«
24 Therefore, Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all of Israel, everything that had been commanded to him.	24 Mojsije to kaza Aronu, njegovim sinovima i svim Izraelcima.
