¹And Jehovah said to Moses, Speak unto the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none make himself unclean for a dead person among his peoples,

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,

²except for his immediate 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;

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 near unto him, who hath had no husband, for her may he make himself unclean.

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

⁴He shall not make himself unclean [who is] a chief among his peoples, to profane himself.

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

⁵They shall not make any baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corners 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 they present Jehovah's offerings by fire, the bread of their God; therefore shall they 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 as wife a whore, or a dishonoured woman; 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.

⁸And thou shalt hallow him; for the bread of thy God doth he present: he shall be holy unto thee; for I, Jehovah, who hallow 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 burned 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 the high priest among his brethren, on whose head the anointing oil was poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his garments.

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 come near any person dead, nor make himself unclean for his father and 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 consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am Jehovah.

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 a dishonoured one, a harlot, these shall he not take; but he shall take as wife a virgin from among his peoples.

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.

¹⁵And he shall not profane his seed among his peoples; for I am Jehovah who do hallow him.

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

¹⁶And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

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

¹⁷Speak unto Aaron, saying, Any of thy seed throughout their generations that hath any defect, shall not approach to present 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 whatever man hath a defect, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or one limb longer than the other,

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 hump-backed, or withered, or that hath a spot in his eye, or hath the itch, or scabs, or his testicles 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 of the seed of Aaron the priest that hath defect shall come near to present Jehovah's offerings by fire: he hath a defect; he shall not come near to present 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.

²²The bread of his God, of the most holy and of the holy, shall he eat;

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

²³only he shall not come in unto the veil, nor shall he draw near unto the altar; for he hath a defect: that he profane not my sanctuaries; for I am Jehovah who do hallow 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 to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.

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