Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Then the LORD said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron’s sons, the priests, and tell them that a priest is not to defile himself for a dead person among his people,
1ΚΑΙ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων· εἶπον τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἀαρὼν καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς οὐ μιανθήσονται ἐν τῷ ἔθνει αὐτῶν,
2except for his immediate family—his mother, father, son, daughter, or brother,
2ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἐν τῷ οἰκείῳ τῷ ἔγγιστα αὐτῶν, ἐπὶ πατρὶ καὶ μητρὶ καὶ υἱοῖς καὶ θυγατράσιν, ἐπ᾿ ἀδελφῷ
3or his unmarried sister who is near to him, since she has no husband.
3καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἀδελφῇ παρθένῳ τῇ ἐγγιζούσῃ αὐτῷ, τῇ μὴ ἐκδεδομένῃ ἀνδρί, ἐπὶ τούτοις μιανθήσεται.
4He is not to defile himself for those related to him by marriage, and so profane himself.
4οὐ μιανθήσεται ἐξάπινα ἐν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ εἰς βεβήλωσιν αὐτοῦ.
5Priests must not make bald spots on their heads, shave off the edges of their beards, or make cuts in their bodies.
5καὶ φαλάκρωμα οὐ ξυρηθήσεσθε τὴν κεφαλὴν ἐπὶ νεκρῷ καὶ τὴν ὄψιν τοῦ πώγωνος οὐ ξυρήσονται καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς σάρκας αὐτῶν οὐ κατατεμοῦσιν ἐντομίδας.
6They must be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God. Because they present to the LORD the offerings made by fire, the food of their God, they must be holy.
6ἅγιοι ἔσονται τῷ Θεῷ αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσουσι τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ αὐτῶν· τὰς γὰρ θυσίας Κυρίου δῶρα τοῦ Θεοῦ αὐτῶν αὐτοὶ προσφέρουσι καὶ ἔσονται ἅγιοι.
7A priest must not marry a woman defiled by prostitution or divorced by her husband, for the priest is holy to his God.
7γυναῖκα πόρνην καὶ βεβηλωμένην οὐ λήψονται καὶ γυναῖκα ἐκβεβλημένην ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς, ὅτι ἅγιός ἐστι Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ αὐτοῦ.
8You are to regard him as holy, since he presents the food of your God. He shall be holy to you, because I the LORD am holy—I who set you apart.
8καὶ ἁγιάσεις αὐτόν. τὰ δῶρα Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ὑμῶν οὗτος προσφέρει· ἅγιος ἔσται, ὅτι ἅγιος ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ ἁγιάζων αὐτούς.
9If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by prostituting herself, she profanes her father; she must be burned in the fire.
9καὶ θυγάτηρ ἀνθρώπου ἱερέως ἐὰν βεβηλωθῇ τοῦ ἐκπορνεῦσαι, τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς αὐτὴ βεβηλοῖ, ἐπὶ πυρὸς κατακαυθήσεται.
10The priest who is highest among his brothers, who has had the anointing oil poured on his head and has been ordained to wear the priestly garments, must not let his hair hang loose or tear his garments.
10Καὶ ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας ἀπὸ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ, τοῦ ἐπικεχυμένου ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ ἐλαίου τοῦ χριστοῦ καὶ τετελειωμένου ἐνδύσασθαι τὰ ἱμάτια, τὴν κεφαλὴν οὐκ ἀποκιδαρώσει καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια οὐ διαρρήξει,
11He must not go near any dead body; he must not defile himself, even for his father or mother.
11καὶ ἐπὶ πάσῃ ψυχῇ τετελευτηκυίᾳ οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται, ἐπὶ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ ἐπὶ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ οὐ μιανθήσεται.
12He must not leave or desecrate the sanctuary of his God, for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is on him. I am the LORD.
12καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἁγίων οὐκ ἐξελεύσεται καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσει τὸ ἡγιασμένον τοῦ Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι τὸ ἅγιον ἔλαιον τὸ χριστὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ· ἐγὼ Κύριος.
13The woman he marries must be a virgin.
13οὗτος γυναῖκα παρθένον ἐκ τοῦ γένους αὐτοῦ λήψεται·
14He is not to marry a widow, a divorced woman, or one defiled by prostitution. He is to marry a virgin from his own people,
14χήραν δὲ καὶ ἐκβεβλημένην καὶ βεβηλωμένην καὶ πόρνην, ταύτας οὐ λήψεται, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ παρθένον ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ λήψεται γυναῖκα.
15so that he does not defile his offspring among his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.”
15καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσει τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ· ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ ἁγιάζων αὐτόν.
16Then the LORD said to Moses,
16Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
17“Say to Aaron, ‘For the generations to come, none of your descendants who has a physical defect may approach to offer the food of his God.
17εἶπον Ἀαρών· ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τοῦ γένους σου εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν, τινὶ ἐὰν ᾖ ἐν αὐτῷ μῶμος, οὐ προσελεύσεται προσφέρειν τὰ δῶρα τοῦ Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ.
18No man who has any defect may approach—no man who is blind, lame, disfigured, or deformed;
18πᾶς ἄνθρωπος, ᾧ ἐστιν ἐν αὐτῷ μῶμος, οὐ προσελεύσεται, ἄνθρωπος τυφλὸς ἢ χωλὸς ἢ κολοβόριν ἢ ὠτότμητος
19no man who has a broken foot or hand,
19ἢ ἄνθρωπος, ᾧ ἂν ᾖ ἐν αὐτῷ σύντριμμα χειρός, ἢ σύντριμμα ποδὸς
20or who is a hunchback or dwarf, or who has an eye defect, a festering rash, scabs, or a crushed testicle.
20ἢ κυρτὸς ἢ ἔφηλος ἢ πτίλλος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἢ ἄνθρωπος, ᾧ ἂν ᾖ ἐν αὐτῷ ψώρα ἀγρία, ἢ λειχὴν ἢ μονόρχις,
21No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall approach to present the offerings made by fire to the LORD. Since he has a defect, he is not to come near to offer the food of his God.
21πᾶς ᾧ ἐστιν ἐν αὐτῷ μῶμος ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος Ἀαρὼν τοῦ ἱερέως, οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ τοῦ προσενεγκεῖν τὰς θυσίας τῷ Θεῷ σου, ὅτι μῶμος ἐν αὐτῷ· τὰ δῶρα τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐ προσελεύσεται προσενεγκεῖν.
22He may eat the most holy food of his God as well as the holy food,
22τὰ δῶρα τοῦ Θεοῦ τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁγίων φάγεται·
23but because he has a defect, he must not go near the veil or approach the altar, so as not to desecrate My sanctuaries. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
23πλὴν πρὸς τὸ καταπέτασμα οὐ προσελεύσεται καὶ πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ, ὅτι μῶμον ἔχει· καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσει τὸ ἅγιον τοῦ Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ ἁγιάζων αὐτούς.
24Moses told this to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites.
24καὶ ἐλάλησε Μωυσῆς πρὸς Ἀαρὼν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ πρὸς πάντας υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ.
