Leviticus 21

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBLIA
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 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,
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 como no sea pariente cercano suyo: la madre, el padre, el hijo, la hija, el 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 puede hacerse impuro.
4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.	4 Pues no debe hacerse impuro, siendo señor entre los suyos; se profanaría.
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 cortarán 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 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.
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 mujer prostituta ni profanada, ni tampoco una mujer 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 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.
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 prostituyéndose 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, 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,
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 ningún cadáver; ni siquiera por su padre o por su madre puede hacerse impuro.
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 para no profanar el santuario de su Dios; pues lleva sobre sí la consagración del óleo de la unción de su Dios. Yo, Yahveh.
13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.	13 Tomará una virgen por esposa.
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 repudiada ni profanada por prostitución, sino que tomará por esposa una virgen de entre su parentela.
15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.	15 No profanará su descendencia entre su pueblo, pues soy, yo, Yahveh, el que lo santifico.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,	16 Yahveh habló a Moisés y dijo:
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 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;
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 pues ningún hombre que tenga defecto corporal ha de acercarse: ni ciego ni cojo ni deforme ni monstruoso,
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,	19 ni el que tenga roto el pie o la mano;
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 enfermo de los ojos, ni el que padezca sarna o tiña, ni el 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 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.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.	22 Sin embargo, podrá comer el alimento de su Dios, las cosas sacratísimas, y las sagradas;
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 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.
24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.	24 Moisés dijo esto a Aarón y a sus hijos y a todos los israelitas.
