1 A nd Jehovah said to Moses, Speak unto the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none make himself unclean for a dead person among his peoples,

¶ Y el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Habla a los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón, y diles que no se contaminen por un muerto en sus pueblos.

2 e xcept for his immediate 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;

A no ser por un pariente cercano, por su madre, o por su padre, o por su hijo, o por su hermano,

3 a nd for his sister, a virgin, that is near unto him, who hath had no husband, for her may he make himself unclean.

o por su hermana virgen, a él cercana, la cual no haya tenido marido, por ella se contaminará.

4 H e shall not make himself unclean a chief among his peoples, to profane himself.

No se contaminará, por el príncipe en su pueblo, ensuciándose.

5 T hey shall not make any baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

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

6 T hey shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they present Jehovah's offerings by fire, the bread of their God; therefore shall they be holy.

Santos serán a su Dios, y no ensuciarán el nombre de su Dios; porque las ofrendas encendidas del SEÑOR y el pan de su Dios ofrecen; por tanto serán santos.

7 T hey shall not take as wife a whore, or a dishonoured woman; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy unto his God.

Mujer ramera o infame no tomarán; ni tomarán mujer repudiada de su marido; porque él es santo a su Dios.

8 A nd thou shalt hallow him; for the bread of thy God doth he present: he shall be holy unto thee; for I, Jehovah, who hallow you am holy.

Y lo santificarás, porque el pan de tu Dios ofrece; santo será para ti, porque santo soy yo el SEÑOR vuestro santificador.

9 A nd the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burned with fire.

Y la hija del varón sacerdote, si comenzare a fornicar, a su padre contamina; quemada será al fuego.

10 A nd the high priest among his brethren, on whose head the anointing oil was poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his garments.

¶ Y el sumo sacerdote entre sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fue derramado el aceite de la unción, y que fue consagrado para vestir las vestimentas, no descubrirá su cabeza, ni rasgará sus vestidos;

11 N either shall he come near any person dead, nor make himself unclean for his father and for his mother;

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

12 n either 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 Jehovah.

Ni saldrá del santuario, ni ensuciará el santuario de su Dios; porque la corona del aceite de la unción de su Dios está sobre él. Yo soy el SEÑOR.

13 A nd he shall take a wife in her virginity.

Y tomará él mujer con su virginidad.

14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or a dishonoured one, a harlot, these shall he not take; but he shall take as wife a virgin from among his peoples.

Viuda, o repudiada, o infame, o ramera, éstas no tomará; mas tomará virgen de su pueblo por mujer.

15 A nd he shall not profane his seed among his peoples; for I am Jehovah who do hallow him.

Y no ensuciará su simiente en su pueblo; porque YO SOY el que lo santifico.

16 A nd Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

¶ Y el SEÑOR habló a Moisés, diciendo:

17 S peak unto Aaron, saying, Any of thy seed throughout their generations that hath any defect, shall not approach to present the bread of his God;

Habla a Aarón, y dile: El varón de tu simiente en sus generaciones, en el cual hubiere falta, no se acercará para ofrecer el pan de su Dios.

18 f or whatever man hath a defect, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or one limb longer than the other,

Porque ningún varón en el cual hubiere falta, se acercará: varón ciego, o cojo, o falto, o sobrado,

19 o r a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,

o varón en el cual hubiere quebradura de pie o quebradura de mano,

20 o r hump-backed, or withered, or that hath a spot in his eye, or hath the itch, or scabs, or his testicles broken.

o jorobado, o lagañoso, o que tuviere nube en el ojo, o que tuviere sarna, o empeine, o testículo atrofiado.

21 N o man of the seed of Aaron the priest that hath defect shall come near to present Jehovah's offerings by fire: he hath a defect; he shall not come near to present the bread of his God.

Ningún varón de la simiente de Aarón sacerdote, en el cual hubiere falta, se acercará para ofrecer las ofrendas encendidas del SEÑOR. Hay falta en él; no se acercará a ofrecer el pan de su Dios.

22 T he bread of his God, of the most holy and of the holy, shall he eat;

El pan de su Dios, de lo santísimo y de las cosas santificadas, comerá.

23 o nly he shall not come in unto the veil, nor shall he draw near unto the altar; for he hath a defect: that he profane not my sanctuaries; for I am Jehovah who do hallow them.

Pero no entrará del velo adentro, ni se acercará al altar, por cuanto hay falta en él; y no ensuciará mi santuario, porque YO SOY el que los santifico.

24 A nd Moses told it to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.

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