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 Y JEHOVÁ dijo á Moisés: Habla á los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón, y diles que no se contaminen por un muerto en sus pueblos.
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 Mas por su pariente cercano á sí, por su madre, ó por su padre, ó por su hijo, ó por su hermano,
3 or a virgin sister, who is not married to a husband.
3 O por su hermana virgen, á él cercana, la cual no haya tenido marido, por ella se contaminará.
4 But not even by the leader of his people shall he be contaminated.
4 No se contaminará, [porque es] príncipe en sus pueblos, haciéndose inmundo.
5 Neither shall they shave their head or their beard, and they shall not make incisions in their flesh.
5 No harán calva en su cabeza, ni raerán la punta de su barba, ni en su carne harán rasguños.
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 Santos serán á su Dios, y no profanarán el nombre de su Dios; porque los fuegos de Jehová y el pan de su Dios ofrecen: por tanto serán santos.
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 Mujer ramera ó infame no tomarán: ni tomarán mujer repudiada de su marido: porque es santo á su Dios.
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 Lo santificarás por tanto, pues el pan de tu Dios ofrece: santo será para ti, porque santo soy yo Jehová vuestro santificador.
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 Y la hija del varón sacerdote, si comenzare á fornicar, á su padre amancilla: quemada será al fuego.
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 Y el sumo sacerdote entre sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fué derramado el aceite de la unción, y que hinchió su mano para vestir las vestimentas, no descubrirá su cabeza, ni romperá sus vestidos:
11 And he shall not enter to any dead body whatsoever; likewise, not even by his father or mother shall he be contaminated.
11 Ni entrará donde haya alguna persona muerta, ni por su padre, ó por su madre se contaminará.
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 Ni saldrá del santuario, ni contaminará el santuario de su Dios; porque la corona del aceite de la unción de su Dios está sobre él: Yo Jehová.
13 He shall take a virgin as his wife.
13 Y tomará él mujer con su virginidad.
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 Viuda, ó repudiada, ó infame, ó ramera, éstas no tomará: mas tomará virgen de sus pueblos por mujer.
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 Y no amancillará su simiente en sus pueblos; porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
16 Y Jehová habló á Moisés, diciendo:
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 Habla á Aarón, y dile: El varón de tu simiente en sus generaciones, en el cual hubiere falta, no se allegará para ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
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 Porque ningún varón en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará: varón ciego, ó cojo, ó falto, ó sobrado,
19 if his foot or hand is broken,
19 O varón en el cual hubiere quebradura de pie ó rotura de mano,
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 O corcovado, ó lagañoso, ó que tuviere nube en el ojo, ó que tenga sarna, ó empeine, ó compañón relajado;
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 Ningún varón de la simiente de Aarón sacerdote, en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará para ofrecer las ofrendas encendidas de Jehová. Hay falta en él; no se allegará á ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
22 Nevertheless, he shall eat from the loaves which are offered in the Sanctuary.
22 El pan de su Dios, de lo muy santo y las cosas santificadas, comerá.
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 Empero no entrará del velo adentro, ni se allegará al altar, por cuanto hay falta en él: y no profanará mi santuario, porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.
24 Therefore, Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all of Israel, everything that had been commanded to him.
24 Y Moisés habló esto á Aarón, y á sus hijos, y á todos los hijos de Israel.
