Levítivo 21

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: “ Loquere ad sacer dotes filios Aaron et dices eis: Ne contaminetur sacerdos in mortibus civium suorum,	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,
2 nisi tantum in consanguineis propinquis, id est super matre et patre et filio ac filia, fratre quoque	2 except for his nearest of kin, his mother, his father, his son, his daughter, his brother,
3 et sorore virgine propinqua, quae non est nupta viro; in ipsa contaminabitur.	3 or his virgin sister (who is near to him because she has had no husband; for her he may defile himself).
4 Non contaminabitur ut maritus in cognatis suis, ne profanetur.	4 He shall not defile himself as a husband among his people and so profane himself.
5 Non radent caput nec barbam neque in carne sua facient incisuras.	5 They shall not make tonsures upon their heads, nor shave off the edges of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 Sancti erunt Deo suo et non polluent nomen eius: incensa enim Domini et panem Dei sui offerunt et ideo sancti erunt.	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.
7 Scortum et oppressam non ducent uxorem nec eam, quae repudiata est a marito, quia consecratus est Deo suo.	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.
8 Et sanctificabis eum, quia panem Dei sui offert. Sit ergo sanctus tibi, quia ego sanctus sum, Dominus, qui sanctifico vos.	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.
9 Sacerdotis filia, si profanaverit se stupro, profanat nomen patris sui; flammis exuretur.	9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the harlot, profanes her father; she shall be burned with fire.
10 Sacerdos maximus inter fratres suos, super cuius caput fusum est unctionis oleum, et cuius manus in sacerdotio consecratae sunt, vestitusque est sanctis vestibus, comam suam non excutiet, vestimenta non scindet	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;
11 et ad omnem mortuum non ingredietur omnino; super patre quoque suo et matre non contaminabitur.	11 he shall not go in to any dead body, nor defile himself, even for his father or for his mother;
12 Nec egredietur de sanctuario, ne polluat sanctuarium Domini, quia consecratus est oleo unctionis Dei sui. Ego Dominus.	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.
13 Virginem ducet uxorem;	13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 viduam et repudiatam et oppressam atque meretricem non accipiet, sed virginem de cognatis suis 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,
15 Ne profanet stirpem suam inter cognatos suos, quia ego Dominus, qui sanctifico eum ”.	15 that he may not profane his children among his people; for I am the LORD who sanctify him."
16 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:	16 And the LORD said to Moses,
17 “ Loquere ad Aaron: Homo de semine tuo in generationibus suis, qui habuerit maculam, non accedet, ut offerat panem Dei sui;	17 "Say to Aaron, None of your descendants throughout their generations who has a blemish may approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 quia quicumque habuerit maculam, non accedet: si caecus fuerit vel claudus, si mutilo naso vel deformis,	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,
19 si fracto pede vel manu,	19 or a man who has an injured foot or an injured hand,
20 si gibbus, si pusillus, si albuginem habens in oculo, si iugem scabiem, si impetiginem in corpore vel contritos testiculos.	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;
21 Omnis, qui habuerit maculam de semine Aaron sacerdotis, non accedet offerre incensa Domini nec panem Dei sui.	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.
22 Vescetur tamen pane Dei sui de sanctissimis et de sanctis.	22 He may eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy and of the holy things,
23 Sed ad velum non ingrediatur nec accedat ad altare, quia maculam habet et contaminare non debet sanctuaria mea, quia ego Dominus, qui sanctifico ea ”.	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."
24 Locutus est ergo Moyses ad Aaron et filios eius et ad omnem Israel.	24 So Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons and to all the people of Israel.
