1Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, Lea ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa fakaʻuliʻi ha tokotaha koeʻuhi ko e pekia ʻoku ʻi hono kakai:
1And the LORD said unto Moses: Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them: There shall none defile himself for the dead among his people;
2Ka koeʻuhi ko hono kāinga moʻoni, ʻoku ofi kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene faʻē, pea mo ʻene tamai, pea mo hono foha, pea mo hono ʻofefine, pea mo hono tokoua,
2except for his kin, that is near unto him, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother;
3Pea koeʻuhi ko hono tuofefine ko e tāupoʻou, ʻaia ʻoku ofi kiate ia, pea kuo teʻeki ai hano husepāniti; ʻoku ngofua ʻene taʻemaʻa koeʻuhi ko ia.
3and for his sister a virgin, that is near unto him, that hath had no husband, for her may he defile himself.
4Kaeʻoua naʻa ne fakaʻuliʻi ia koeʻuhi ko ha taha ʻeiki ʻi hono kakai, ke ne taʻemaʻa ai.
4He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5“ʻE ʻikai tenau tekefua honau ʻulu, pe tele hono potu tuliki ʻoe kava, pe fai ha tafatafaʻi ʻi honau sino.
5They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6Tenau māʻoniʻoni ki honau ʻOtua, kaeʻoua naʻa fakaongokoviʻi ʻae huafa ʻo honau ʻOtua: he ko e ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova ʻoku ngaohi ʻi he afi, pea ʻoku nau ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa honau ʻOtua; ko ia ʻe māʻoniʻoni ai ʻakinautolu.
6They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God; for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the bread of their God, they do offer; therefore they shall be holy.
7ʻE ʻikai tenau fakamaʻu mali mo ha fefine faʻa feʻauaki, pe ha taʻelotu; pea ʻoua naʻa nau maʻu ʻae fefine kuo tukuange mei hono mali: he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ia ki hono ʻOtua.
7They shall not take a woman that is a harlot, or profaned; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy unto his God.
8Ko ia ke ke fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ia; he ʻoku ne ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa ho ʻOtua; ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia kiate koe: he ko au Sihova, ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni.
8Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God; he shall be holy unto thee; for I the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy.
9Pea ko e ʻofefine ʻo ha taulaʻeiki, kapau ʻoku ne fakahalaʻi ʻe ia ia ʻi he fai feʻauaki, ʻoku ne fakahalaʻi ʻene tamai: ʻe tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi.
9And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the harlot, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
10¶ “Pea ko ia ʻoku taulaʻeiki lahi ʻi hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻaia naʻe lingi ki hono ʻulu ʻae lolo ʻoe fakanofo, pea kuo fakatapui ke ʻai ʻae ngaahi kofu, ʻe ʻikai toʻo ʻe ia hono tatā, pe hae hono kofu;
10And the priest that is highest among his brethren, 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 go loose, nor rend his clothes;
11Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻalu ia ki ha sino ʻoku mate, pe fakahalaʻi ʻe ia ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene tamai, pe ko ʻene faʻē;
11neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
12Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia kituaʻā ʻi he faletapu, pe fakahalaʻi ʻae faletapu ʻo hono ʻOtua; he ko e tatā ʻoe lolo tākai ʻo hono ʻOtua ʻoku ʻiate ia: Ko au ko Sihova.
12neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.
13Pea te ne fili ʻe ia hono uaifi ko e tāupoʻou.
13And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14Ko e fefine paea, pe ko e fefine fakamāvae, pe ko e taʻelotu, pe ko e feʻauaki, ko kinautolu ni ʻe ʻikai te ne fili: kae maʻu ʻe ia ha taʻahine mei hono kakai ko hono uaifi.
14A widow, or one divorced, or a profaned woman, or a harlot, these shall he not take; but a virgin of his own people shall he take to wife.
15Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakahalaʻi ʻe ia hono hako ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hono kakai: he ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ia.”
15And he shall not profane his seed among his people; for I am the LORD who sanctify him.
16¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
16And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
17Lea kia ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia ʻi ho hako ʻi honau toʻutangata kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻiate ia hano mele, ʻoua naʻa ʻunuʻunu mai ia ke ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa hono ʻOtua.
17Speak unto Aaron, saying: Whosoever he be of thy seed throughout their generations that hath a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
18He ko e tangata ko ia ʻoku ai hano mele, ʻoua naʻa ʻunuʻunu mai ia: ko e tangata kui, pe ko e ketu, pe ko ia ʻoku ihu lafalafa, pe ai haʻane anga ʻoku kehe,
18For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath any thing maimed, or anything too long,
19Pe ha tangata ʻoku veʻe fasi, pe nima fasi,
19or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,
20ʻAe tuʻa piko pe ko e kihi, pe hangatāmakia hono mata, pe ko e kamaa, pe ko e mongumangu, pe ko e tangapula.
20or crook-backed, or a dwarf, or that hath his eye overspread, or is scabbed, or scurvy, or hath his stones crushed;
21ʻIlonga ʻae tangata ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki ʻoku ʻiate ia ha mele, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻunuʻunu mai ia ke ʻatu kia Sihova ʻae feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi: ʻoku ʻiate ia hano mele; ʻe ʻikai ofi mai ia ke ʻatu ʻae mā ʻa hono ʻOtua.
21no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a blemish, shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire; he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
22ʻE kai ʻe ia ʻae mā ʻa hono ʻOtua, ʻio, ʻae māʻoniʻoni lahi, pea mo e māʻoniʻoni pe.
22He may eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23Ka koeʻuhi pe ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻalu ki he loto puipui, pe hoko ʻo ofi ki he feilaulauʻanga, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻiate ia hano mele; ke ʻoua naʻa fakahalaʻi ʻe ia hoku ngaahi potu tapu: he ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoni ʻakinautolu.”
23Only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not My holy places; for I am the LORD who sanctify them.
24Pea naʻe tala ia ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone, pea ki hono ngaahi foha, pea ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli.
24So Moses spoke unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
