¹And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:

¹[Lalàna ny amin'ny fahamasinan'ny mpisorona] Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Mitenena amin'ireo mpisorona, zanak'i Arona, hoe: Aoka ianareo tsy hisy hiditra am-paty eo amin'ny fireneny,

²But 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.

²afa-tsy amin'ny tahaka ny tenany, dia ny reniny sy ny rainy sy ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy ary ny rahalahiny;

³And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.

³ary amin'ny fatin'ny anabaviny, izay tahaka ny tenany ihany koa sady tsy mbola manam-bady fa virijina, no ahazoany mandoto ny tenany.

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

⁴Tsy hiditra am-paty hametaveta ny tenany izy, satria andriana eo amin'ny fireneny izy.

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

⁵Tsy hanasola ny lohany izy, na hanaratra ny vaokany, na hitetika ny tenany.

⁶They 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.

⁶Ho masina ho an'Andriamaniny izy ka tsy hanamavo ny anaran'Andriamaniny; fa mpanatitra ny fanatitra atao amin'ny afo ho an'i Jehovah izy, dia ny hanin'Andriamaniny, ka dia tokony ho masina.

⁷They 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.

⁷Aoka tsy hanambady izay vehivavy mpijangajanga ka voaloto izy, ary aoka tsy hanambady vehivavy izay efa nisaoran'ny lahy; fa masina ho an'Andriamaniny ny mpisorona.

⁸Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, am holy.

⁸Dia hamasino izy, fa ny hanin'Andriamanitrao no ateriny; ho masina aminao izy, fa masina Aho Jehovah, Izay manamasina anareo.

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

⁹Ary raha ny zanakavavin'ny mpisorona mandoto ny tenany amin'ny fijangajangana, dia efa manamavo ny rainy izy ka hodorana amin'ny afo.

¹⁰And 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;

¹⁰Ary ny mpisoronabe, izay nalaina tamin'ny rahalahiny, ka nanidinana ny diloilo fanosorana ny lohany, sady natokana hitafy ny fitafiana, dia aoka tsy hirakaraka volo, na handriatra ny fitafiany.

¹¹Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;

¹¹Ary aoka tsy hiditra am-paty akory izy, ka tsy handoto ny tenany na dia amin'ny rainy aman-dreniny aza.

¹²Neither 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.

¹²Ary aoka tsy hivoaka avy amin'ny fitoerana masina izy, na handoto ny fitoera-masin'Andriamaniny; fa ny diademany, dia ny diloilo fanosoran'Andriamaniny azy, no eo an-dohany: Izaho no Jehovah.

¹³And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

¹³Ary aoka hampakatra izay vehivavy mbola virijina izy.

¹⁴A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.

¹⁴Fa ny maty vady, na ny efa nisaorana, na ny voaloto tamin'ny fijangajangana, dia tsy azony hampakarina, fa virijina avy amin'ny fireneny ihany no hampakariny.

¹⁵Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.

¹⁵Ary aoka tsy hanao izay hahaloto ny taranany eo amin'ny fireneny izy; fa Izaho Jehovah no manamasina azy.

¹⁶And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁶Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

¹⁷Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

¹⁷Mitenena amin'i Arona hoe: Izay rehetra misy kilema amin'ny zanakao, amin'ny taranany hatramin'ny fara mandimby, dia aoka tsy hanakaiky fanatitra ny hanin'Andriamaniny;

¹⁸For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,

¹⁸Fa izay rehetra misy kilema dia tsy mahazo manakaiky hanao izany na ny jamba, na ny mandringa, na ny petaka orona, na ny manana amby,

¹⁹Or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,

¹⁹na ny tapa-tongotra, na ny tapa-tanana,

²⁰Or crookbacked, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;

²⁰na ny vokoka, na ny sahozanina, na ny misy pentimpentina eo amin'ny masony, na ny hatenina, na ny tsingaohina, na ny torotoro vihy.

²¹No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

²¹Ny olona rehetra amin'ny zanak'i Arona mpisorona izay misy kilema dia tsy mahazo manakaiky hanatitra ny fanatitra atao amin'ny afo ho an'i Jehovah; misy kilema izy ka tsy mahazo manakaiky hanatitra ny hanin'Andriamaniny.

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

²²Ny hanin'Andriamaniny, izay avy amin'ny zavatra masina indrindra sy ny zavatra masina, dia azony hanina ihany;

²³Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.

²³kanefa tsy mahazo miditra ao anatin'ny efitra lamba na manakaiky ny alitara izy, satria misy kilema, mba tsy handoto ny fitoerako masina izy, fa Izaho Jehovah no manamasina azy.Ary Mosesy dia nilaza izany tamin'i Arona sy ny zanany ary ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra.

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

²⁴Ary Mosesy dia nilaza izany tamin'i Arona sy ny zanany ary ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra.
