Leviticus 21

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron’s sons, the priests, and tell them that a priest is not to defile himself for a dead person among his people,

1 耶和华对摩西说：“你要告诉做祭司的亚伦子孙：祭司不可因接触死去的族人而使自己不洁净，

2 except for his immediate family—his mother, father, son, daughter, or brother,

2 但骨肉至亲，如父母、儿女、兄弟，

3 or his unmarried sister who is near to him, since she has no husband.

3 以及未出嫁仍是处女的姊妹例外。

4 He is not to defile himself for those related to him by marriage, and so profane himself.

4 祭司不可因姻亲的关系而玷污自己。

5 Priests must not make bald spots on their heads, shave off the edges of their beards, or make cuts in their bodies.

5 祭司不可剃光头、修剪胡须或割伤身体。

6 They must be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God. Because they present to the LORD the food offerings, the food of their God, they must be holy.

6 他们要做上帝的圣洁之民，不可亵渎我的名。因为他们负责献我的火祭，即我的食物，所以要保持圣洁。

7 A priest must not marry a woman defiled by prostitution or divorced by her husband, for the priest is holy to his God.

7 他们不可娶妓女或被休的女人为妻，因为祭司要向上帝保持圣洁。

8 You are to regard him as holy, since he presents the food of your God. He shall be holy to you, because I the LORD am holy—I who set you apart.

8 要视祭司为圣洁的，因为他们负责献你们上帝的食物。要视他们为圣洁的，因为使你们圣洁的我耶和华是圣洁的。

9 If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by prostituting herself, she profanes her father; she must be burned in the fire.

9 如果有祭司的女儿做妓女，辱没自己，她就是辱没自己的父亲，必须烧死她。

10 The priest who is highest among his brothers, who has had the anointing oil poured on his head and has been ordained to wear the priestly garments, must not let his hair hang loose or tear his garments.

10 “大祭司在众祭司中职分最高，头上浇过膏油，已经承受圣职、穿上圣衣，他不可披头散发、撕裂衣服。

11 He must not go near any dead body; he must not defile himself, even for his father or mother.

11 他不可接近死者，即使是父母也不可，以免玷污自己。

12 He must not leave or desecrate the sanctuary of his God, for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is on him. I am the LORD.

12 他不可走出他上帝的圣所，以免亵渎圣所，因为我的膏油已经使他圣洁。我是耶和华。

13 The woman he marries must be a virgin.

13 他必须娶处女为妻，

14 He is not to marry a widow, a divorced woman, or one defiled by prostitution. He is to marry a virgin from his own people,

14 不可娶寡妇、被休的女人或被玷污的妓女，只可娶本族中的处女为妻，

15 so that he does not defile his offspring among his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.”

15 以免在民中玷污自己的子孙，因为我是使他们圣洁的耶和华。”

16 Then the LORD said to Moses,

16 耶和华对摩西说：

17 “Say to Aaron, ‘For the generations to come, none of your descendants who has a physical defect may approach to offer the food of his God.

17 “你告诉亚伦：你世世代代的子孙中，任何有残疾的人都不可前来向他的上帝献食物。

18 No man who has any defect may approach—no man who is blind, lame, disfigured, or deformed;

18 任何残疾的人，如瞎眼的、瘸腿的、五官不正的、畸形的、

19 no man who has a broken foot or hand,

19 四肢伤残的、

20 or who is a hunchback or dwarf, or who has an eye defect, a festering rash, scabs, or a crushed testicle.

20 驼背的、侏儒、患眼疾的、长疥癣的或睪丸受损的，都不可近前来献祭。

21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall approach to present the food offerings to the LORD. Since he has a defect, he is not to come near to offer the food of his God.

21 亚伦祭司的子孙中有残疾的都不可向耶和华献火祭。他们既然有残疾，就不可近前来献耶和华的食物。

22 He may eat the most holy food of his God as well as the holy food,

22 他们可以吃上帝的食物，圣的和至圣的都可以吃。

23 but because he has a defect, he must not go near the veil or approach the altar, so as not to desecrate My sanctuaries. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”

23 但他们不可走近幔子或祭坛，因为他们有残疾。这样做是为了避免他们亵渎我的圣所。我是使圣所圣洁的耶和华。”

24 Moses told this to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites.

24 摩西把这些条例告诉了亚伦父子们和所有的以色列人。
