¹وقال الرب لموسى كلم الكهنة بني هرون وقل لهم. لا يتنجس احد منكم لميت في قومه.

¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Speak unto the priests, sons of Aaron, and thou hast said unto them, For [any] person [a priest] is not defiled among his people,

²الا لاقربائه الاقرب اليه امه وابيه وابنه وابنته واخيه

²except for his 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.

³واخته العذراء القريبة اليه التي لم تصر لرجل. لاجلها يتنجس.

³and for his sister, the virgin, who is near unto him, who hath not been to a man; for her he is defiled.

⁴كزوج لا يتنجس باهله لتدنيسه.

⁴`A master [priest] doth not defile himself among his people — to pollute himself;

⁵لا يجعلوا قرعة في رؤوسهم ولا يحلقوا عوارض لحاهم ولا يجرحوا جراحة في اجسادهم.

⁵they do not make baldness on their head, and the corner of their beard they do not shave, and in their flesh they do not make a cutting;

⁶مقدسين يكونون لالههم ولا يدنسون اسم الههم لانهم يقرّبون وقائد الرب طعام الههم فيكونون قدسا.

⁶they are holy to their God, and they pollute not the name of their God, for the fire-offerings of Jehovah, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been holy.

⁷امرأة زانية او مدنّسة لا يأخذوا ولا يأخذوا امرأة مطلّقة من زوجها. لانه مقدس لالهه.

⁷`A woman, a harlot, or polluted, they do not take, and a woman cast out from her husband they do not take, for he [is] holy to his God;

⁸فتحسبه مقدسا لانه يقرب خبز الهك. مقدسا يكون عندك لاني قدوس انا الرب مقدسكم.

⁸and thou hast sanctified him, for the bread of thy God he is bringing near; he is holy to thee; for holy [am] I, Jehovah, sanctifying you.

⁹واذا تدنست ابنة كاهن بالزنى فقد دنست اباها. بالنار تحرق

⁹`And a daughter of any priest when she polluteth herself by going a-whoring — her father she is polluting; with fire she is burnt.

¹⁰والكاهن الاعظم بين اخوته الذي صبّ على راسه دهن المسحة وملئت يده ليلبس الثياب لا يكشف راسه ولا يشق ثيابه

¹⁰`And the high priest of his brethren, on whose head is poured the anointing oil, and hath consecrated his hand to put on the garments, his head doth not uncover, nor rend his garments,

¹¹ولا يأتي الى نفس ميتة ولا يتنجس لابيه او امه

¹¹nor beside any dead person doth he come; for his father and for his mother he doth not defile himself;

¹²ولا يخرج من المقدس لئلا يدنس مقدس الهه. لان اكليل دهن مسحة الهه عليه. انا الرب.

¹²nor from the sanctuary doth he go out, nor doth he pollute the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing oil of his God [is] on him; I [am] Jehovah.

¹³هذا يأخذ امرأة عذراء.

¹³`And he taketh a wife in her virginity;

¹⁴اما الارملة والمطلقة والمدنسة والزانية فمن هؤلاء لا يأخذ بل يتخذ عذراء من قومه امرأة.

¹⁴widow, or cast out, or polluted one — a harlot — these he doth not take, but a virgin of his own people he doth take [for] a wife,

¹⁵ولا يدنس زرعه بين شعبه لاني انا الرب مقدسه

¹⁵and he doth not pollute his seed among his people; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying him.`

¹⁶وكلم الرب موسى قائلا.

¹⁶And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁷كلم هرون قائلا. اذا كان رجل من نسلك في اجيالهم فيه عيب فلا يتقدم ليقرّب خبز الهه.

¹⁷`Speak unto Aaron, saying, No man of thy seed to their generations in whom there is blemish doth draw near to bring near the bread of his God,

¹⁸لان كل رجل فيه عيب لا يتقدم. لا رجل اعمى ولا اعرج ولا افطس ولا زوائدي

¹⁸for no man in whom [is] blemish doth draw near — a man blind, or lame or dwarfed, or enlarged,

¹⁹ولا رجل فيه كسر رجل او كسر يد

¹⁹or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,

²⁰ولا احدب ولا اكشم ولا من في عينه بياض ولا اجرب ولا اكلف ولا مرضوض الخصى.

²⁰or hump-backed, or a dwarf, or with a mixture in his eye, or a scurvy person, or scabbed, or broken-testicled.

²¹كل رجل فيه عيب من نسل هرون الكاهن لا يتقدم ليقرّب وقائد الرب. فيه عيب لا يتقدم ليقرّب خبز الهه.

²¹`No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) doth come nigh to bring near the fire-offerings of Jehovah; blemish [is] in him; the bread of his God he doth not come nigh to bring near.

²²خبز الهه من قدس الاقداس ومن القدس ياكل.

²²`Bread of his God — of the most holy things, and of the holy things — he doth eat;

²³لكن الى الحجاب لا يأتي والى المذبح لا يقترب لان فيه عيبا لئلا يدنّس مقدسي. لاني انا الرب مقدّسهم.

²³only, unto the vail he doth not enter, and unto the altar he doth not draw nigh; for blemish [is] in him; and he doth not pollute My sanctuaries; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying them.`

²⁴فكلم موسى هرون وبنيه وكل بني اسرائيل

²⁴And Moses speaketh unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel.
