Levililer 22

¹Ve Rab Musa'ya şöyle seslendi:

²"Harun'a ve oğullarına de ki, İsrail oğullarının kutsal adaklarından uzak dursunlar ve bana adadıkları kutsal şeylerle kutsal adımı lekelemesinler. Ben Rab'bim.

³Onlara de ki: 'Kuşaklarınız boyunca, soyunuzdan kim üzerinde dinsel kirlilik varken İsrail oğullarının Rab'be adadığı kutsal şeylere yaklaşırsa, o can huzurumdan yok edilecektir. Ben Rab Tanrınızım.

⁴Harun'un soyundan gelip de cüzamlı olan ya da akıntısı bulunan hiç kimse, temizleninceye dek kutsal adaklardan yiyemez. Ölüden ötürü kirli olan herhangi bir şeye dokunan ya da kendisinden meni akan kişi,

⁵ya da kendisini kirletecek herhangi kirli bir sürüngene veya kendisini her türlü kirliliğiyle kirletecek bir insana dokunan kişi,

⁶bunlara dokunan kişi akşama dek kirli sayılacaktır. Bedenini suyla yıkamadıkça kutsal adaklardan yiyemez.

⁷Güneş batınca temizlenmiş olur; ondan sonra kutsal adaklardan yiyebilir, çünkü bu onun yiyeceğidir.

⁸Kendiliğinden ölen ya da yabanıl hayvanlarca parçalanan hayvanın etini yiyerek kendisini kirletmesin. Ben Rab'bim.

⁹Tapınaktaki görevlerimi yerine getirsinler; yoksa kutsal şeyleri lekeledikleri için günah yüklenir ve bu yüzden ölürler. Onları kutsayan Rab Tanrı benim.

¹⁰Kâhin soyundan olmayan hiç kimse kutsal adaklardan yiyemez. Kâhinin konuğu ya da ücretli işçisi de kutsal adaklardan yiyemez.

¹¹Ancak kâhinin parayla satın aldığı köle ve onun evinde doğanlar kâhinin yiyeceğinden yiyebilirler.

¹²Bir kâhinin kızı kâhin olmayan biriyle evlenirse, kutsal sunulardan sunulan ilk ürünlerden yiyemez.

¹³Ama kâhinin kızı dul kalır ya da boşanırsa, çocuğu da yoksa ve gençliğinde olduğu gibi babasının evine dönerse, babasının yiyeceğinden yiyebilir. Ancak yabancı biri ondan yiyemez.

¹⁴Bilmeden kutsal bir adaktan yiyen kişi, yediğinin değerine beşte bir ekleyerek kutsal adağı kâhine geri vermelidir.

¹⁵Kâhinler, İsrail oğullarının Rab'be sundukları kutsal adakları lekelememelidirler.

¹⁶Kutsal adakları yemelerine izin vererek onlara suçluluk ve ceza yüklememelidirler. Çünkü onları kutsayan Rab benim.'"

¹⁷Rab Musa'ya şöyle seslendi:

¹⁸"Harun'a, oğullarına ve bütün İsrail topluluğuna de ki: 'İsrail oğullarından ya da aralarında yaşayan yabancılardan biri, ister adadıkları bütün adaklar, ister gönüllü olarak sundukları bütün sunular için olsun, Rab'be yakmalık sunu sunmak isterse,

¹⁹kabul edilmesi için sığırlardan, koyunlardan ya da keçilerden kusursuz bir erkek sunmalıdır.

²⁰Kusurlu hiçbir hayvanı sunmayın, çünkü sizin adınıza kabul edilmeyecektir.

²¹Bir adağı yerine getirmek, gönüllü bir sunu sunmak ya da bayramlarınızda Rab'be esenlik kurbanı sunmak isteyen kişi, sığırlardan ya da davarlardan kusursuz bir hayvan sunmalıdır ki kabul edilsin; hayvanda hiçbir kusur olmamalıdır.

²²Kör, kırık, dili kesik, siğilli, uyuz ya da egzamalı hayvanları Rab'be sunmayın; bunlardan hiçbirini Rab için sunak üzerinde yakılan sunu olarak sunmayın.

²³Kulağı kesik ya da kuyruğu eksik bir sığırı veya koyunu gönüllü sunu olarak sunabilirsin, ama adak olarak kabul edilmeyecektir.

²⁴Erbezleri ezilmiş, ezik, hadım edilmiş ya da kesilmiş hayvanları Rab'be sunmayın; ülkenizde böyle şeyler yapmayın.

²⁵Bir yabancının elinden aldığınız bu tür hayvanların hiçbirini Tanrınızın yiyeceği olarak sunmayın. Çünkü onlarda bozukluk ve kusur vardır; sizin adınıza kabul edilmeyeceklerdir.'"

²⁶Rab Musa'ya şöyle seslendi:

²⁷"Bir buzağı, kuzu ya da oğlak doğduğunda, yedi gün annesinin yanında kalacak. Sekizinci günden itibaren Rab'be yakılan sunu olarak kabul edilebilir.

²⁸İster inek ister koyun olsun, bir hayvanı yavrusuyla birlikte aynı gün kesmeyin.

²⁹Rab'be bir şükran kurbanı sunduğunuzda, kabul edilmesi için onu uygun biçimde sunun.

³⁰Kurban aynı gün yenmeli, sabaha ondan hiçbir şey bırakmamalısınız. Ben Rab'bim.

³¹Buyruklarımı tutun ve onları yerine getirin.

³²Kutsal Olan'ın adını lekelemeyin; İsrail oğullarının arasında kutsal sayılacağım. Sizi kutsayan Rab benim.

³³Tanrınız olmak için sizi Mısır ülkesinden çıkaran Rab benim."

¹ΚΑΙ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·

²εἶπον ᾿Ααρὼν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ· καὶ προσεχέτωσαν ἀπὸ τῶν ἁγίων τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσουσι τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιόν μου, ὅσα αὐτοὶ ἁγιάζουσί μοι· ἐγὼ Κύριος.

³εἶπον αὐτοῖς· εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν πᾶς ἄνθρωπος, ὃς ἂν προσέλθῃ ἀπὸ παντὸς τοῦ σπέρματος ὑμῶν πρὸς τὰ ἅγια, ὅσα ἂν ἁγιάζωσιν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ἡ ἀκαθαρσία αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ ᾖ, ἐξολοθρευθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ ἐκείνη ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ· ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.

⁴καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος ᾿Ααρὼν τοῦ ἱερέως καὶ οὗτος λεπρᾷ ἢ γονορρυεῖ, τῶν ἁγίων οὐκ ἔδεται, ἕως ἂν καθαρισθῇ· καὶ ὁ ἁπτόμενος πάσης ἀκαθαρσίας ψυχῆς ἢ ἄνθρωπος, ᾧ ἂν ἐξέλθῃ ἐξ αὐτοῦ κοίτη σπέρματος,

⁵ἢ ὅστις ἂν ἅψηται παντὸς ἑρπετοῦ ἀκαθάρτου, ὃ μιανεῖ αὐτόν, ἢ ἐπ᾿ ἀνθρώπῳ, ἐν ᾧ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν κατὰ πᾶσαν ἀκαθαρσίαν αὐτοῦ·

⁶ψυχὴ ἥτις ἐὰν ἅψηται αὐτῶν, ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας· οὐκ ἔδεται ἀπὸ τῶν ἁγίων, ἐὰν μὴ λούσηται τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ὕδατι

⁷καὶ δύῃ ὁ ἥλιος καὶ καθαρὸς ἔσται, καὶ τότε φάγεται τῶν ἁγίων, ὅτι ἄρτος αὐτοῦ ἐστι.

⁸θνησιμαῖον καὶ θηριάλωτον οὐ φάγεται, μιανθῆναι αὐτὸν ἐν αὐτοῖς· ἐγὼ Κύριος.

⁹καὶ φυλάξονται τὰ φυλάγματά μου, ἵνα μὴ λάβωσι δι᾿ αὐτὰ ἁμαρτίαν καὶ ἀποθάνωσι δι᾿ αὐτά, ἐὰν βεβηλώσωσιν αὐτά· ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ἁγιάζων αὐτούς.

¹⁰καὶ πᾶς ἀλλογενὴς οὐ φάγεται ἅγια· πάροικος ἱερέως ἢ μισθωτὸς οὐ φάγεται ἅγια.

¹¹ἐὰν δὲ ἱερεὺς κτήσηται ψυχὴν ἔγκτητον ἀργυρίου, οὗτος φάγεται ἐκ τῶν ἄρτων αὐτοῦ· καὶ οἱ οἰκογενεῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὗτοι φάγονται τὸν ἄρτον αὐτοῦ.

¹²καὶ θυγάτηρ ἀνθρώπου ἱερέως ἐὰν γένηται ἀνδρὶ ἀλλογενεῖ, αὐτὴ τῶν ἀπαρχῶν ἁγίου οὐ φάγεται.

¹³καὶ θυγάτηρ ἱερέως ἐὰν γένηται χήρα ἢ ἐκβεβλημένη, σπέρμα δὲ μὴ ᾖ αὐτῇ, ἐπαναστρέψει ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τὸν πατρικὸν κατὰ τὴν νεότητα αὐτῆς, ἀπὸ τῶν ἄρτων τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς φάγεται· καὶ πᾶς ἀλλογενὴς οὐ φάγεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν.

¹⁴καὶ ἄνθρωπος, ὃς ἂν φάγῃ ἅγια κατ᾿ ἄγνοιαν, καὶ προσθήσει τὸ ἐπίπεμπτον αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸ καὶ δώσει τῷ ἱερεῖ τὸ ἅγιον.

¹⁵καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσουσι τὰ ἅγια τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, ἃ αὐτοὶ ἀφαιροῦσι τῷ Κυρίῳ,

¹⁶καὶ ἐπάξουσιν ἐφ᾿ ἑαυτοὺς ἀνομίαν πλημμελείας ἐν τῷ ἐσθίειν αὐτοὺς τὰ ἅγια αὐτῶν· ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ ἁγιάζων αὐτούς.

¹⁷Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·

¹⁸λάλησον ᾿Ααρὼν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάσῃ συναγωγῇ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· ἄνθρωπος ἄνθρωπος ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, ἢ τῶν προσηλύτων τῶν προσκειμένων πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ, ὃς ἂν προσενέγκῃ τὰ δῶρα αὐτοῦ κατὰ πᾶσαν ὁμολογίαν αὐτῶν ἢ κατὰ πᾶσαν αἵρεσιν αὐτῶν, ὅσα ἂν προσενέγκωσι τῷ Θεῷ εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα,

¹⁹δεκτὰ ὑμῖν ἄμωμα ἄρσενα ἐκ τῶν βουκολίων ἢ ἐκ τῶν προβάτων καὶ ἐκ τῶν αἰγῶν.

²⁰πάντα, ὅσα ἂν ἔχῃ μῶμον ἐν αὐτῷ, οὐ προσάξουσι Κυρίῳ, διότι οὐ δεκτὸν ἔσται ὑμῖν.

²¹καὶ ἄνθρωπος ὃς ἂν προσενέγκῃ θυσίαν σωτηρίου τῷ Κυρίῳ διαστείλας εὐχὴν ἢ κατὰ αἵρεσιν ἢ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς ὑμῶν, ἐκ τῶν βουκολίων ἢ ἐκ τῶν προβάτων ἄμωμον ἔσται εἰσδεκτόν, πᾶς μῶμος οὐκ ἔσται ἐν αὐτῷ.

²²τυφλὸν ἢ συντετριμμένον ἢ γλωσσότμητον ἢ μυρμηκιῶντα ἢ ψωραγριῶντα ἢ λειχῆνας ἔχοντα, οὐ προσάξουσι ταῦτα τῷ Κυρίῳ. καὶ εἰς κάρπωσιν οὐ δώσετε ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ.

²³καὶ μόσχον ἢ πρόβατον ὠτότμητον ἢ κολοβόκερκον σφάγια ποιήσεις αὐτὰ σεαυτῷ, εἰς δὲ εὐχήν σου οὐ δεχθήσεται.

²⁴θλαδίαν καὶ ἐκτεθλιμμένον καὶ ἐκτομίαν καὶ ἀπεσπασμένον οὐ προσάξεις αὐτὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὑμῶν οὐ ποιήσετε.

²⁵καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλογενοῦς οὐ προσοίσετε τὰ δῶρα τοῦ Θεοῦ ὑμῶν ἀπὸ πάντων τούτων, ὅτι φθάρματά ἐστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς, μῶμος ἐν αὐτοῖς, οὐ δεχθήσεται ταῦτα ὑμῖν.

²⁶Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·

²⁷μόσχον ἢ πρόβατον ἢ αἶγα, ὡς ἂν τεχθῇ, καὶ ἔσται ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ὑπὸ τὴν μητέρα, τῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ καὶ ἐπέκεινα δεχθήσεται εἰς δῶρα, κάρπωμα Κυρίῳ.

²⁸καὶ μόσχον καὶ πρόβατον, αὐτὴν καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτῆς, οὐ σφάξεις ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ.

²⁹ἐὰν δὲ θύσῃς θυσίαν εὐχὴν χαρμοσύνην Κυρίῳ, εἰσδεκτὸν ὑμῖν θύσετε αὐτό·

³⁰αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ βρωθήσεται, οὐκ ἀπολείψετε ἀπὸ τῶν κρεῶν εἰς τὸ πρωΐ· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.

³¹Καὶ φυλάξετε τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ ποιήσετε αὐτάς.

³²καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσετε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ἁγίου, καὶ ἁγιασθήσομαι ἐν μέσῳ τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ· ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ ἁγιάζων ὑμᾶς,

³³ὁ ἐξαγαγὼν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ὥστε εἶναι ὑμῶν Θεός, ἐγὼ Κύριος.

¹And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

²Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and let them take heed concerning the holy things of the children of Israel, so they shall not profane my holy name in any of the things which they consecrate to me: I [am] the Lord.

³Say to them, Every man throughout your generations, whoever of all your seed shall approach to the holy things, whatsoever the children of Israel shall consecrate to the Lord, while his uncleanness is upon him, that soul shall be cut off from me: I [am] the Lord your God.

⁴And the man of the seed of Aaron the priest, if he should have leprosy or issue of the reins, shall not eat of the holy things, until he be cleansed; and he that touches any uncleanness of a dead body, or the man whose seed of copulation shall have gone out from him,

⁵or whosoever shall touch any unclean reptile, which will defile him, or [who shall touch] a man, whereby he shall defile him according to all his uncleanness:

⁶whatsoever soul shall touch them shall be unclean until evening; he shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water,

⁷and the sun go down, and then he shall be clean; and then shall he eat of all the holy things, for they are his bread.

⁸He shall not eat that which dies of itself, or is taken of beasts, so that he should be polluted by them: I [am] the Lord.

⁹And they shall keep my ordinances, that they do not bear iniquity because of them, and die because of them, if they shall profane them: I [am] the Lord God that sanctifies them.

¹⁰And no stranger shall eat the holy things: one that sojourns with a priest, or a hireling, shall not eat the holy things.

¹¹But if a priest should have a soul purchased for money, he shall eat of his bread; and they that are born in his house, they also shall eat of his bread.

¹²And if the daughter of a priest should marry a stranger, she shall not eat of the offerings of the sanctuary.

¹³And if the daughter of priest should be a widow, or put away, and have no seed, she shall return to her father’s house, as in her youth: she shall eat of her father’s bread, but no stranger shall eat of it.

¹⁴And the man who shall ignorantly eat holy things, shall add the fifth part to it, and give the holy thing to the priest.

¹⁵And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord.

¹⁶So should they bring upon themselves the iniquity of trespass in their eating their holy things: for I [am] the Lord that sanctifies them.

¹⁷And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁸Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the congregation of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Any man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that abide among them in Israel, who shall offer his gifts according to all their confession and according to all their choice, whatsoever they may bring to the Lord for whole-burnt-offerings--

¹⁹your free-will-offerings [shall] be males without blemish of the herds, or of the sheep, or of the goats.

²⁰They shall not bring to the Lord anything that has a blemish in it, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

²¹And whatsoever man shall offer a peace-offering to the Lord, discharging a vow, or in the way of free-will-offering, or an offering in your feasts, of the herds or of the sheep, it shall be without blemish for acceptance: there shall be no blemish in it.

²²One that is blind, or broken, or has its tongue cut out, or is troubled with warts, or has a malignant ulcer, or tetters, they shall not offer these to the Lord; neither shall ye offer any of them for a burnt-offering on the altar of the Lord.

²³And a calf or a sheep with the ears cut off, or that has lost its tail, thou shalt slay them for thyself; but they shall not be accepted for thy vow.

²⁴That which has broken testicles, or is crushed or gelt or mutilated,-- thou shalt not offer them to the Lord, neither shall ye sacrifice them upon your land.

²⁵Neither shall ye offer the gifts of your God of all these things by the hand of a stranger, because there is corruption in them, a blemish in them: these shall not be accepted for you.

²⁶And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

²⁷As for a calf, or a sheep, or a goat, whenever it is born, then shall it be seven days under its mother; and on the eighth day and after they shall be accepted for sacrifices, a burnt-offering to the Lord.

²⁸And a bullock and a ewe, it and its young, thou shalt not kill in one day.

²⁹And if thou shouldest offer a sacrifice, a vow of rejoicing to the Lord, ye shall offer it so as to be accepted for you.

³⁰In that same day it shall be eaten; ye shall not leave of the flesh till the morrow: I am the Lord.

³¹And ye shall keep my commandments and do them.

³²And ye shall not profane the name of the Holy One, and I will be sanctified in the midst of the children of Israel. I [am] the Lord that sanctifies you,

³³who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the Lord.
