The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the priests, the sons of Aaron, Let no man make himself unclean for the dead among his people;
1
dixit quoque Dominus ad Mosen loquere ad sacerdotes filios Aaron et dices eis ne contaminetur sacerdos in mortibus civium suorum
2 But only for his near relations, for his mother or his father, his son or his daughter, and his brother;
2
nisi tantum in consanguineis ac propinquis id est super matre et patre et filio ac filia fratre quoque
3 And for his sister, a virgin, for she is his near relation and has had no husband, he may make himself unclean.
3
et sorore virgine quae non est nupta viro
4 But let him, being a chief among his people, not make himself unclean in such a way as to put shame on himself.
4
sed nec in principe populi sui contaminabitur
5 They are not to have their hair cut off for the dead, or the hair on their chins cut short, or make cuts in their flesh.
5
non radent caput nec barbam neque in carnibus suis facient incisuras
6 Let them be holy to their God and not make the name of their God common; for the fire offerings of the Lord and the bread of their God are offered by them, and they are to be holy.
6
sancti erunt Deo suo et non polluent nomen eius incensum enim Domini et panes Dei sui offerunt et ideo sancti erunt
7 They may not take as wife a loose or common woman, or one who has been put away by her husband: for the priest is holy to his God.
7
scortum et vile prostibulum non ducet uxorem nec eam quae repudiata est a marito quia consecratus est Deo suo
8 And he is to be holy in your eyes, for by him the bread of your God is offered; he is to be holy in your eyes, for I the Lord, who make you holy, am holy.
8
et panes propositionis offert sit ergo sanctus quia et ego sanctus sum Dominus qui sanctifico vos
9 And if the daughter of a priest makes herself common and by her loose behaviour puts shame on her father, let her be burned with fire.
9
sacerdotis filia si deprehensa fuerit in stupro et violaverit nomen patris sui flammis exuretur
10 And he who is the chief priest among his brothers, on whose head the holy oil has been put, who is marked out to put on the holy robes, may not let his hair go loose or have his clothing out of order as a sign of sorrow.
10
pontifex id est sacerdos maximus inter fratres suos super cuius caput fusum est unctionis oleum et cuius manus in sacerdotio consecratae sunt vestitusque est sanctis vestibus caput suum non discoperiet vestimenta non scindet
11 He may not go near any dead body or make himself unclean for his father or his mother;
11
et ad omnem mortuum non ingredietur omnino super patre quoque suo et matre non contaminabitur
12 He may not go out of the holy place or make the holy place of his God common; for the crown of the holy oil of his God is on him: I am the Lord.
12
nec egredietur de sanctis ne polluat sanctuarium Domini quia oleum sanctae unctionis Dei sui super eum est ego Dominus
13 And let him take as his wife one who has not had relations with a man.
13
virginem ducet uxorem
14 A widow, or one whose husband has put her away, or a common woman of loose behaviour, may not be the wife of a priest; but let him take a virgin from among his people.
14
viduam et repudiatam et sordidam atque meretricem non accipiet sed puellam de populo suo
15 And he may not make his seed unclean among his people, for I the Lord have made him holy.
15
ne commisceat stirpem generis sui vulgo gentis suae quia ego Dominus qui sanctifico eum
16 And the Lord said to Moses,
16
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
17 Say to Aaron, If a man of your family, in any generation, is damaged in body, let him not come near to make the offering of the bread of his God.
17
loquere ad Aaron homo de semine tuo per familias qui habuerit maculam non offeret panes Deo suo
18 For any man whose body is damaged may not come near: one who is blind, or has not the use of his legs, or one who has a broken nose or any unnatural growth,
18
nec accedet ad ministerium eius si caecus fuerit si claudus si vel parvo vel grandi et torto naso
19 Or a man with broken feet or hands,
19
si fracto pede si manu
20 Or one whose back is bent, or one who is unnaturally small, or one who has a damaged eye, or whose skin is diseased, or whose sex parts are damaged;
20
si gibbus si lippus si albuginem habens in oculo si iugem scabiem si inpetiginem in corpore vel hirniosus
21 No man of the offspring of Aaron whose body is damaged in any way may come near to give the fire offerings of the Lord: he is damaged, he may not come near to make the offerings.
21
omnis qui habuerit maculam de semine Aaron sacerdotis non accedet offerre hostias Domino nec panes Deo suo
22 He may take of the bread of God, the holy and the most holy;
22
vescetur tamen panibus qui offeruntur in sanctuario
23 But he may not go inside the veil or come near the altar, because he is damaged; and he may not make my holy places common; for I the Lord have made them holy.
23
ita dumtaxat ut intra velum non ingrediatur nec accedat ad altare quia maculam habet et contaminare non debet sanctuarium meum ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos
24 These are the words which Moses said to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel.
24
locutus est ergo Moses ad Aaron et filios eius et ad omnem Israhel cuncta quae sibi fuerant imperata
