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;

¹Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse ku yidhi, La hadal wadaaddada ah wiilashii Haaruun, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Ninkiinna yuusan isu nijaasayn mid dadkiisa ah oo dhintay,

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

²xigaalkiisa u dhow mooyaane, kuwaasoo ah hooyadiis, ama aabbihiis, ama wiilkiisa, ama gabadhiisa, ama walaalkiis,

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

³ama walaashiisa bikradda ah oo isaga u dhow, oo aan weli nin guursan; taas wuu isu nijaasayn karaa.

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

⁴Waa inuusan isnijaasayn isagoo dadkiisa madax u ah, yuusan nijaas iska dhigin.

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

⁵Oo waa inaan ninkoodna madaxa xiiran, oo waa inayan gadhkooda xiirin, ama ayan jidhkooda gooyn.

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.

⁶Iyagu waa inay Ilaahooda quduus u ahaadaan, oo ayan wax nijaas ah ka sheegin magaca Ilaahooda, waayo, iyagu waxay bixiyaan qurbaannadii Rabbiga ee dabka lagu sameeyo oo ah cuntada Ilaahooda, oo sidaas daraaddeed waa inay quduus ahaadaan.

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.

⁷Waa inayan guursan naag dhillo ah ama mid la nijaaseeyey, oo waa inayan guursan naag la furay, waayo, wadaadku quduus buu Ilaahiis u yahay.

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.

⁸Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waa inaad isaga quduus ka dhigtaa, waayo, isagu wuxuu bixiyaa cuntada Ilaahaaga, oo isagu waa inuu quduus kuu ahaadaa, waayo, anba quduus baan ahay, anigoo ah Rabbiga quduus idinka dhiga.

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

⁹Oo wadaad kasta haddii ay gabadhiisu isnijaasayso oo ay dhillowdo, iyadu nijaas bay ka dhigaysaa aabbaheed, oo waa in dab lagu gubaa.

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;

¹⁰Oo kii wadaadka sare walaalihiis ka dhex ah, oo madaxiisa lagu shubay saliiddii subkidda, oo ah kan loo daahiriyey inuu xidho dharka quduuska ah waa inaanay timaha madaxiisu arbushnaan ama uusan dharkiisa dildillaacin.

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

¹¹Oo weliba waa inuusan meyd gudaha ugu gelin, oo xataa waa inuusan isu nijaasayn aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis toona.

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.

¹²Oo waa inuusan dibadda uga bixin meesha quduuska ah, waana inuusan nijaasayn meesha quduuska ah ee Ilaahiisa, waayo, isaga waxaa kor saaran taajkii saliidda subkidda ee Ilaahiisa, waayo, aniga ayaa Rabbiga ah.

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

¹³Oo isagu waa inuu guursadaa gabadh bikrad ah.

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.

¹⁴Waa inuusan marnaba guursan carmal, ama naag la furay, ama naag nijaasowday oo dhillo ah, laakiinse waa inuu guursadaa gabadh bikrad ah oo dadkiisa ka dhalatay.

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

¹⁵Oo waa inuusan dhashiisa ku dhex nijaasayn dadkiisa, waayo, aniga ayaa ah Rabbiga isaga quduus ka dhiga.

¹⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁶Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

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

¹⁷Haaruun la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Tan iyo ab ka ab ku alla kii farcankaaga ahu, isagoo iin leh, yuusan u dhowaan inuu cuntada Ilaahiisa bixiyo.

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,

¹⁸Waayo, nin alla ninkuu yahayba, kii iin lahu waa inuusan u soo dhowaan, kaasoo ah ninkii indha la' ama curyaan ah, ama kii sankiisu faruuran yahay, ama jidhkiisu leeyahay wax dheeraad ah,

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

¹⁹ama ninkii cag jaban, ama gacan jaban,

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;

²⁰ama kii tuur leh, ama kii cilin ah, ama kii ishiisu iin leedahay, ama kii cambaar qaba, ama kii cadho qaba, ama kii xiniinyihiisu burbureen.

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.

²¹Wadaadka Haaruun ah nin alla ninkii farcankiisa ka mid ahu isagoo iin leh waa inuusan u soo dhowaan inuu bixiyo qurbaannada Rabbiga oo dabka lagu sameeyo, waayo, isagu iin buu leeyahay, oo waa inuusan u soo dhowaan inuu cuntada Ilaahiisa bixiyo.

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

²²Isagu waa inuu cunaa cuntada Ilaahiisa, tan quduuska ah iyo tan ugu wada quduusanba.

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.’”

²³Laakiinse waa inuusan meesha daaha leh gelin, ama uusan meesha allabariga u dhowaan, si uusan u nijaasayn meelahayga quduuska ah, maxaa yeelay, isagu iin buu leeyahay, oo aniga ayaa ah Rabbiga iyaga quduus ka dhiga.Muuse sidaasuu kula hadlay Haaruun iyo wiilashiisii, iyo dadkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhanba.

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

²⁴Muuse sidaasuu kula hadlay Haaruun iyo wiilashiisii, iyo dadkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhanba.
