¹Yahweh said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people;

¹A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi: Povedz kňazom, synom Áronovým, a povieš im: Niktorý z vás nezanečistí sa za mŕtveho vo svojom ľude,

²except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,

²iba za svojho pokrevného, sebe blízkeho, za svoju matku, za svojho otca, za svojho syna, za svoju dcéru a za svojho brata

³and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.

³a za svoju sestru, pannu, sebe blízku, ktorá nepatrila mužovi, za tú sa zanečistí.

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

⁴Teda nezanečistí sa kňaz súc pánom vo svojom ľude, aby sa poškvrnil.

⁵“‘They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

⁵Nespravia si lysiny na svojej hlave a neoholia boku svojej brady ani na svojom tele nespravia nijakého rezu.

⁶They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.

⁶Svätí budú svojmu Bohu a nepoškvrnia mena svojho Boha, lebo obetujú ohňové obeti Hospodinove, chlieb svojho Boha, a preto budú svätí.

⁷“‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane; neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband: for he is holy to his God.

⁷Ženy smilnice alebo poškvrnenej si nevezmú ani si nevezmú ženy, zahnanej od jej muža, lebo každý z nich je svätý svojemu Bohu.

⁸You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy to you: for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am holy.

⁸A budeš ho mať za svätého, lebo obetuje chlieb tvojho Boha; svätým ti bude, lebo svätý som ja Hospodin, ktorý vás posväcujem.

⁹“‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father: she shall be burned with fire.

⁹A keby sa poškvrnila dcéra niektorého kňaza dopustiac sa smilstva, poškvrnila svojho otca, bude upálená ohňom.

¹⁰“‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, nor tear his clothes;

¹⁰A najvyšší kňaz zpomedzi svojich bratov, na ktorého hlavu bol vyliaty olej pomazania, a bol naplnil svoju ruku, posvätil sa, aby obliekol sväté rúcho, nerozpustí svojej hlavy na znak smútku ani neroztrhne svojho rúcha.

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

¹¹Nevojde k niktorej duši mŕtveho, nezanečistí sa ani len za svojho otca ani za svoju mať.

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 Yahweh.

¹²A nevyjde zo svätyne a nepoškvrní svätyne svojho Boha, lebo koruna oleja pomazania jeho Boha je na ňom. Ja som Hospodin!

¹³“‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.

¹³Za ženu si vezme pannu v jej panenstve.

¹⁴A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute, these he shall not marry: but a virgin of his own people shall he take as a wife.

¹⁴Vdovy a zahnanej alebo poškvrnenej smilnice si nevezme, ale iba pannu zo svojho ľudu si vezme za ženu.

¹⁵He shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am Yahweh who sanctifies him.’”

¹⁵A nepoškvrní svojho semena vo svojom ľude, lebo ja som Hospodin, ktorý ho posväcujem.

¹⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁶A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol:

¹⁷“Say to Aaron, ‘None of your seed throughout their generations who has a blemish, may approach to offer the bread of his God.

¹⁷Hovor Áronovi a povedz mu: Niktorý z tvojho semena po ich pokoleniach, na ktorom by bola nejaká vada, nepristúpi, aby obetoval chlieb svojho Boha.

¹⁸For whatever man he is that has a blemish, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,

¹⁸Lebo niktorý muž, na ktorom by bola vada, nepristúpi: slepý muž alebo kuľhavý, alebo ktorý by mal niektorý úd primalý alebo priveľký,

¹⁹or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,

¹⁹alebo muž, ktorý by mal zlomenú nohu alebo zlomenú ruku,

²⁰or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles;

²⁰alebo hrbatý alebo pritenký, alebo ktorý by mal beľmo na oku alebo keby bol chrastavý alebo prašivý alebo keby mal stlačené lono.

²¹no man of the seed of Aaron the priest who has a blemish, shall come near to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Since he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.

²¹Niktorý muž, na ktorom by bola nejaká vada, zo semena Árona, kňaza, nepriblíži sa, aby obetoval ohňové obeti Hospodinove; vada je na ňom, nepriblíži sa, aby obetoval chlieb svojho Boha.

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

²²No, chlieb svojho Boha, z toho, čo je svätosväté, i zo svätého bude jesť.

²³He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”

²³Len k opone nevojde a oltáru sa nepriblíži, lebo je na ňom vada, a nepoškvrní mojich svätýň, lebo ja som Hospodin, ktorý ich posväcujem.

²⁴So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.

²⁴A Mojžiš to hovoril Áronovi a jeho synom a všetkým synom Izraelovým.
