The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 And the Lord said to Moses, Speak thou to [the] priests, the sons of Aaron, and thou shalt say to them, A priest be not defouled in the dead men of his citizens (A priest shall not be defiled with the dead among his fellow citizens),
1
dixit quoque Dominus ad Mosen loquere ad sacerdotes filios Aaron et dices eis ne contaminetur sacerdos in mortibus civium suorum
2 no but only in his kinsmen, and nigh of blood, that is, on father, and mother, and son, and daughter, and brother, (only with his own relatives, and next of kin, that is, with his father, and mother, and son, and daughter, and brother,)
2
nisi tantum in consanguineis ac propinquis id est super matre et patre et filio ac filia fratre quoque
3 and sister, (who is) a virgin, that is not wedded to man;
3
et sorore virgine quae non est nupta viro
4 but neither he shall be defouled in the prince of his people. (but he shall not be defiled even with the ruler of his people.)
4
sed nec in principe populi sui contaminabitur
5 Priests shall not shave their head, neither beard, neither they shall make (any) carvings in their fleshes;
5
non radent caput nec barbam neque in carnibus suis facient incisuras
6 they shall be holy to their God, and they shall not defoul his name; for they offer incense of the Lord, and the loaves of their God, and therefore they shall be holy. (they shall be holy to their God, and they shall not defile his name; for they offer incense to the Lord, and the loaves to their God, and so they shall 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 A priest shall not wed (for) a wife a corrupt woman, and a foul whore, neither he shall wed her that is forsaken of the husband, for he is hallowed to his God, (A priest shall not wed for a wife any corrupt woman, or a foul whore, nor shall he wed she who is forsaken by her husband, for he 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 offereth the loaves of setting forth; therefore be he holy, for I am the holy Lord that halloweth you. (and offereth the loaves of proposition; and so regard him as holy, for I am holy, the Lord who maketh you holy.)
8
et panes propositionis offert sit ergo sanctus quia et ego sanctus sum Dominus qui sanctifico vos
9 If the daughter of a priest is taken in defouling of virginity, and defouleth the name of her father, she shall be burnt in fire. (If a priest's daughter is caught in defiling her own virginity, and so defileth her father's name, she shall be burned in the fire.)
9
sacerdotis filia si deprehensa fuerit in stupro et violaverit nomen patris sui flammis exuretur
10 The bishop, that is the most priest among his brethren, upon whose head the oil of anointing is poured, and whose hands be (made) sacred in priesthood, and he is clothed in holy clothes, shall not discover his head, he shall not tear his clothes, (The High Priest, who is the highest priest among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil was poured, who is consecrated in priesthood, and who is clothed in holy clothes, shall not uncover his head, and he shall not tear his clothes,)
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 and utterly he shall not enter [in] to any dead man; and he shall not be defouled on his father, and mother (yea, he shall not even be defiled for his father, or his mother),
11
et ad omnem mortuum non ingredietur omnino super patre quoque suo et matre non contaminabitur
12 neither he shall go out of [the] holy places, lest he defoul the saintuary of the Lord, for the oil of holy anointing of his God is on him; I am the Lord. (nor shall he go out of the holy place, lest he defile the Lord's sanctuary, for the holiness of the anointing oil of his God is upon 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 He shall wed to wife a virgin; (He shall wed a virgin for his wife;)
13
virginem ducet uxorem
14 he shall not take a widow, and a forsaken woman, and a foul woman, and (a) whore, but a virgin of his people; (he shall not wed a widow, or a forsaken woman, or a defiled woman, or a whore, but only a virgin out of his people;)
14
viduam et repudiatam et sordidam atque meretricem non accipiet sed puellam de populo suo
15 meddle he not the generation of his kin to the common people of his folk, for I am the Lord, that halloweth him. (and so he shall not mix together, or dishonour, any of the generation of his kin among the common people, for I am the Lord, who maketh him holy.)
15
ne commisceat stirpem generis sui vulgo gentis suae quia ego Dominus qui sanctifico eum
16 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
16
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
17 Speak thou to Aaron; a man of thy seed, by families, that hath a wem, that is, a notable foulness, shall not offer bread to his God, (Say thou to Aaron, A man of thy seed, among thy families, who hath a blemish, that is, a notable foulness, shall not offer the bread, or the loaves, to his God,)
17
loquere ad Aaron homo de semine tuo per familias qui habuerit maculam non offeret panes Deo suo
18 neither shall nigh to his service; (nor,) if he is blind; if he is crooked; if he is either of little, either of great, or wrong nose; (nor shall he come to do his service; nor, as well, if he is blind, or lame; or too small, or too big;)
18
nec accedet ad ministerium eius si caecus fuerit si claudus si vel parvo vel grandi et torto naso
19 if he is of broken foot, either hand; (if he hath a crippled, or deformed, hand or foot;)
19
si fracto pede si manu
20 if he hath a botch, or a bulge, on his back; either if he is bleary-eyed; if he hath white colour, or a pearl, in his eye, that hindereth his sight; if he hath (a) continual scab; if he hath a dry scab in his body (if he hath a dry scab on his body); either if he be bruised in (the) privy members.
20
si gibbus si lippus si albuginem habens in oculo si iugem scabiem si inpetiginem in corpore vel hirniosus
21 Each man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a wem (who hath any blemish, or any fault), shall not nigh to offer sacrifices to the Lord, neither to offer loaves to his God;
21
omnis qui habuerit maculam de semine Aaron sacerdotis non accedet offerre hostias Domino nec panes Deo suo
22 nevertheless he shall (still) eat the loaves that be offered in the saintuary,
22
vescetur tamen panibus qui offeruntur in sanctuario
23 so only that he enter not within the veil; he shall not nigh to the altar, for he hath a wem, and he shall not defoul my saintuary; I am the Lord, that hallow them. (so only that he not come within the Veil; he shall not approach the altar, for he hath a blemish, or a fault, and he shall not defile my sanctuary; I am the Lord who maketh 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 Therefore Moses spake to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all Israel, all things that were commanded to him. (And so Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the Israelites, all that was commanded to him.)
24
locutus est ergo Moses ad Aaron et filios eius et ad omnem Israhel cuncta quae sibi fuerant imperata
