1 El Señor dijo a Moisés: «Habla a los sacerdotes, los hijos de Aarón, y diles: Ninguno de ustedes se hará impuro por tocar a un muerto de su pueblo,
1 Yahweh said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people,
2 excepto por un pariente cercano: su madre, su padre, su hijo, su hija o su hermano.
2 except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,
3 También podrá hacerse impuro por su hermana soltera, si ella es pariente cercana y no ha tenido marido.
3 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
4 Pero no se hará impuro por cualquier muerto entre su pueblo, pues así se profanaría.
4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 Los sacerdotes no se raparán la cabeza, no se cortarán los bordes de la barba ni se harán cortes en el cuerpo.
5 “‘They shall not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 Serán santos para su Dios y no profanarán su nombre, porque ellos presentan las ofrendas presentadas por fuego al Señor, el alimento de su Dios. Por eso serán santos.
6 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God, for they offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the bread of their God. Therefore they shall be holy.
7 No tomarán por esposa a una prostituta, a una mujer que haya sido deshonrada sexualmente ni a una mujer divorciada de su marido, porque el sacerdote es santo para su Dios.
7 “‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane. A priest shall not marry a woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to his God.
8 Considerarás santo al sacerdote, porque él presenta el alimento de tu Dios. Será santo para ti, porque yo, el Señor que los santifica, soy santo.
8 Therefore you shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am holy.
9 Si la hija de un sacerdote se deshonra entregándose a la prostitución, deshonra a su padre. Será quemada.
9 “‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire.
10 »El sumo sacerdote entre sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fue derramado el aceite de la unción y que fue consagrado para vestir las vestiduras sagradas, no dejará suelto su cabello ni rasgará sus vestiduras.
10 “‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, or tear his clothes.
11 No se acercará a ningún cadáver. No se hará impuro ni siquiera por su padre o por su madre.
11 He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father or for his mother.
12 No saldrá del santuario ni profanará el santuario de su Dios, porque la consagración del aceite de la unción de su Dios está sobre él. Yo soy el Señor.
12 He shall not 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 Yahweh.
13 Tomará por esposa a una mujer virgen.
13 “‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 No tomará por esposa a una viuda, una divorciada, una mujer deshonrada sexualmente ni una prostituta. Tomará por esposa a una virgen de su propio pueblo.
14 He shall not marry a widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. He shall take a virgin of his own people as a wife.
15 Así no profanará a sus descendientes entre su pueblo, porque yo soy el Señor que lo santifica».
15 He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies him.’”
16 El Señor dijo a Moisés:
16 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
17 «Di a Aarón: Ninguno de tus descendientes que tenga un defecto físico se acercará, en ninguna generación, para presentar el alimento de su Dios.
17 “Say to Aaron, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 Ningún hombre con un defecto físico podrá acercarse: sea ciego, cojo, desfigurado o tenga alguna deformidad;
18 For whatever man he is that has a defect, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,
19 tenga un pie o una mano lesionados;
19 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
20 sea jorobado, de crecimiento anormal, tenga un defecto en el ojo, una enfermedad de la piel o los órganos sexuales dañados.
20 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.
21 Ninguno de los descendientes del sacerdote Aarón que tenga un defecto físico se acercará para presentar las ofrendas presentadas por fuego al Señor. Tiene un defecto y por eso no se acercará para presentar el alimento de su Dios.
21 No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22 Podrá comer del alimento de su Dios, tanto de las cosas santísimas como de las santas.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23 Pero no entrará detrás del velo ni se acercará al altar, porque tiene un defecto. No profanará mis lugares santos, porque yo soy el Señor que los santifica».
23 He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a defect; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”
24 Moisés comunicó estas órdenes a Aarón, a sus hijos y a todos los hijos de Israel.
24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
