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:

¹In GOSPOD reče Mojzesu: Govóri duhovnikom, sinovom Aronovim, ter jim véli: Pri mrliču naj se nihče izmed vas ne oskruni med ljudstvom svojim;

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.

²samo pri bližjih sorodnikih svojih, pri materi in pri očetu, pri sinu in pri hčeri, pri bratu

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

³in pri sestri, devici, ki biva pri njem, ko se še ni omožila: pri teh se sme onečistiti.

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

⁴Ne oskruni se naj, ker je gospod med svojim ljudstvom, da bi se onesvetil.

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.

⁵Ne strižejo naj si pleše na glavi in ne brijejo ob kraju brade svoje, in na telesu naj si ne delajo nobenih zarez.

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.

⁶Sveti naj bodo Bogu svojemu in naj ne onesvetijo imena Boga svojega, zakaj ognjene daritve GOSPODOVE, kruh Boga svojega, darujejo; zato naj bodo sveti.

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.

⁷Nečistnice in posiljene deve naj si ne jemljejo, tudi ne take, katero je njen mož odpahnil; zakaj duhovnik je svet Bogu svojemu.

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.

⁸Zatorej ga štej za svetega, kajti daruje kruh Boga tvojega; svet ti bodi, ker jaz sem svet, GOSPOD, ki vas posvečujem.

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

⁹Hči duhovnikova pa, ki se onesveti z nečistovanjem, onesveti očeta svojega: z ognjem bodi sežgana.

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;

¹⁰Tisti pa, ki je veliki duhovnik med brati svojimi, na čigar glavo je bilo izlito olje maziljenja in ki je bil posvečen, da se oblači v sveta oblačila: naj si ne razkriva glave ter ne trga oblačil;

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

¹¹tudi naj ne hodi k truplu mrtvemu, niti pri očetu svojem ali pri materi svoji naj se ne onečisti.

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.

¹²In iz svetišča naj ven ne hodi, tudi ne onesveti svetišča Boga svojega, zakaj posvetitev mazilnega olja Boga svojega ima na sebi. Jaz sem GOSPOD.

¹³And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

¹³In ženo naj si vzame v devištvu njenem.

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.

¹⁴Vdove in ločene ženske in posiljene, nečistnice, teh naj ne vzame, ampak devico iz ljudstva svojega naj vzame za ženo.

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

¹⁵In semena svojega naj ne onesveti med ljudstvom svojim, zakaj jaz sem GOSPOD, ki ga posvečujem.

¹⁶And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁶In GOSPOD je govoril Mojzesu, rekoč:

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.

¹⁷Govóri Aronu in reci: Kdorkoli iz semena tvojega po prihodnjih rodovih ima telesno hibo na sebi, naj ne pristopa darovat kruha Boga svojega;

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,

¹⁸kajti nihče, na komer je telesna hiba, ne sme pristopiti: slepec ali hromec, ali kdor ima ploščat nos ali katerikoli ud prevelik,

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

¹⁹ali mož, ki ima zlomljeno nogo ali zlomljeno roko,

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

²⁰ali kdor je grbav ali pritlikav, ali kdor ima madež v očesu, ali kdor ima garje ali lišaj ali stlačen modnik.

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.

²¹Nihče iz semena Arona duhovnika, ki ima kako hibo, naj ne pristopa darovat ognjene daritve Gospodove; hiba je na njem, ne sme pristopiti, da daruje kruh Boga svojega.

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

²²Kruh Boga svojega sme uživati, od presvetega in od svetega,

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.

²³samo za zagrinjalo naj ne hodi in k oltarju naj ne pristopa, ker ima hibo, da ne onesveti svetišč mojih: zakaj jaz sem GOSPOD, ki jih posvečujem.In Mojzes je tako govoril Aronu in sinovom njegovim in vsem sinovom Izraelovim.

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

²⁴In Mojzes je tako govoril Aronu in sinovom njegovim in vsem sinovom Izraelovim.
