1 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests, the sons of Aaron, and tell them to not be defiled for the dead among his people.

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

2 B ut for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother and for his father and for his son and for his daughter and for his brother

Mas por su pariente cercano á sí, por su madre, ó por su padre, ó por su hijo, ó por su hermano,

3 a nd for his virgin sister, that is near unto him, who has had no husband; for her he may be defiled.

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

4 H e shall not defile himself for the prince among his people, to profane himself.

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

5 T hey shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner 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 the offerings of the LORD made by fire and the bread of their God they do offer; therefore, they shall be holy.

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

Mujer ramera ó infame no tomarán: ni tomarán mujer repudiada de su marido: porque es santo á su Dios.

8 T hou shalt sanctify him, therefore, for he offers the bread of thy God; he shall be holy unto thee; for I the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy.

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

9 A nd the daughter of the man who is a priest, if she begins to fornicate, she profanes her father; she shall be burnt with fire.

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

10 ¶ And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head nor rend his clothes;

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 n either shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father or for his mother;

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

12 n either shall he 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 the LORD.

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 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 profane or a harlot, these he shall not take, but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.

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

15 N either shall he profane his seed among his people, for I AM he that sanctifies him.

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

16 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

Y Jehová habló á Moisés, diciendo:

17 S peak unto Aaron, saying, The man of thy seed in their generations that has any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

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 F or no man in whom there is a blemish, shall approach: a blind man or a lame or he that lacks any thing or has any thing superfluous

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

19 o r a man that is brokenfooted or brokenhanded

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

20 o r crookbacked or a dwarf or that has a blemish in his eye or has scurvy or is scabbed or has his stones broken.

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

21 N o man that has a blemish of the seed of Aaron, the priest, shall come near to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire. He has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.

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 H e shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy and of the sanctified things.

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

23 O nly he shall not go inside the veil nor come near unto the altar because he has a blemish, that he not profane my sanctuary; for I AM he that sanctifies them.

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 A nd Moses told it unto Aaron and to his sons and unto all the sons of Israel.

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