RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Speak unto the priests, sons of Aaron, and thou hast said unto them, For [any] person [a priest] is not defiled among his people,

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.

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 except for his relation who [is] near unto him — for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.

2 Mas por su pariente cercano á sí, por su madre, ó por su padre, ó por su hijo, ó por 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 and for his sister, the virgin, who is near unto him, who hath not been to a man; for her he is defiled.

3 O por su hermana virgen, á él cercana, la cual no haya tenido marido, por ella se contaminará.

3 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.

4 'A master [priest] doth not defile himself among his people — to pollute himself;

4 No se contaminará, [porque es] príncipe en sus pueblos, haciéndose inmundo.

4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.

5 they do not make baldness on their head, and the corner of their beard they do not shave, and in their flesh they do not make a cutting;

5 No harán calva en su cabeza, ni raerán la punta de su barba, ni en su carne harán rasguños.

5 “‘They shall not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings in their flesh.

6 they are holy to their God, and they pollute not the name of their God, for the fire-offerings of Jehovah, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been 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.

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 'A woman, a harlot, or polluted, they do not take, and a woman cast out from her husband they do not take, for he [is] holy to his God;

7 Mujer ramera ó infame no tomarán: ni tomarán mujer repudiada de su marido: porque es santo á 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 and thou hast sanctified him, for the bread of thy God he is bringing near; he is holy to thee; for holy [am] I, Jehovah, sanctifying you.

8 Lo santificarás por tanto, pues el pan de tu Dios ofrece: santo será para ti, porque santo soy yo Jehová vuestro santificador.

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 'And a daughter of any priest when she polluteth herself by going a-whoring — her father she is polluting; with fire she is burnt.

9 Y la hija del varón sacerdote, si comenzare á fornicar, á su padre amancilla: quemada será al fuego.

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 'And the high priest of his brethren, on whose head is poured the anointing oil, and hath consecrated his hand to put on the garments, his head doth not uncover, nor rend his garments,

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:

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 nor beside any dead person doth he come; for his father and for his mother he doth not defile himself;

11 Ni entrará donde haya alguna persona muerta, ni por su padre, ó por su madre se contaminará.

11 He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father or for his mother.

12 nor from the sanctuary doth he go out, nor doth he pollute the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing oil of his God [is] on him; I [am] Jehovah.

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.

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 'And he taketh a wife in her virginity;

13 Y tomará él mujer con su virginidad.

13 “‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.

14 widow, or cast out, or polluted one — a harlot — these he doth not take, but a virgin of his own people he doth take [for] a wife,

14 Viuda, ó repudiada, ó infame, ó ramera, éstas no tomará: mas tomará virgen de sus pueblos por mujer.

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 and he doth not pollute his seed among his people; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying him.'

15 Y no amancillará su simiente en sus pueblos; porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.

15 He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies him.’”

16 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

16 Y Jehová habló á Moisés, diciendo:

16 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

17 'Speak unto Aaron, saying, No man of thy seed to their generations in whom there is blemish doth draw near to bring near the bread of 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.

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 for no man in whom [is] blemish doth draw near — a man blind, or lame or dwarfed, or enlarged,

18 Porque ningún varón en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará: varón ciego, ó cojo, ó falto, ó sobrado,

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 or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,

19 O varón en el cual hubiere quebradura de pie ó rotura de mano,

19 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,

20 or hump-backed, or a dwarf, or with a mixture in his eye, or a scurvy person, or scabbed, or broken-testicled.

20 O corcovado, ó lagañoso, ó que tuviere nube en el ojo, ó que tenga sarna, ó empeine, ó compañón relajado;

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 'No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) doth come nigh to bring near the fire-offerings of Jehovah; blemish [is] in him; the bread of his God he doth not come nigh to bring near.

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.

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 'Bread of his God — of the most holy things, and of the holy things — he doth eat;

22 El pan de su Dios, de lo muy santo y las cosas santificadas, comerá.

22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.

23 only, unto the vail he doth not enter, and unto the altar he doth not draw nigh; for blemish [is] in him; and he doth not pollute My sanctuaries; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying 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.

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 And Moses speaketh unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel.

24 Y Moisés habló esto á Aarón, y á sus hijos, y á todos los hijos de Israel.

24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
