Firistoci 21
1 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Yi magana da firistoci,’ya’yan Haruna maza, ka ce musu, ‘Kada firist yă ƙazantar da kansa saboda wani cikin mutanensa da suka mutu,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them,
2 sai dai na danginsa na kusa, kamar mahaifiyarsa ko mahaifinsa, ɗansa ko’yarsa, ɗan’uwansa,
‘You priests must not cause yourselves to become unfit to do my work by [touching] corpses. Priests are permitted to touch only the corpses of close relatives, such as the priest’s mother or father or his son or daughter or his brother.
3 ko’yar’uwarsa da ba tă riga ta yi aure ba, wadda take dogara gare shi, da yake ba ta da miji, saboda ita zai iya ƙazantar da kansa.
Priests are also permitted to touch the corpse of a sister if she is not married, because she has no husband [to bury her body].
4 Kada yă ƙazantar da kansa saboda mutanen da suke da dangantakar da shi ta wurin aure, ta yin haka zai ƙazantar da kansa.
Priests must not cause themselves to become unfit to do my work [DOU] by [touching corpses of] people who were married to one of their close relatives.
5 “‘Kada firistoci su aske kansu ƙwal ko su kwakkwafe gemunsu, ko su tsattsage jikunansu.
You priests must not shave your heads or shave the edges of your beards or cut your bodies [to show that you are mourning for someone who has died].
6 Dole su kasance masu tsarki ga Allahnsu, kada kuma su ɓata sunan Allahnsu. Domin sukan miƙa hadayun da aka kawo wa Ubangiji da wuta, abincin Allahnsu, saboda haka sai su kasance da tsarki.
You must act in ways that I, your God, consider to be holy, and not disgrace my name/reputation. You are the ones who present to me the offerings that are burned. [It is as though] those offerings are food for me, your God; so you must act in ways that are holy.
7 “‘Ba za su auri matan da karuwanci ya ɓata su, ko waɗanda mazansu suka sake su ba, gama firistoci masu tsarki ne ga Allahnsu.
You priests must not marry women who have been prostitutes or who have been divorced from their husbands, because you priests are (set apart for me/holy).
8 An ɗauke su da tsarki, domin suna miƙa abincin Allahnku. An ɗauka su masu tsarki gama Ni Ubangiji, mai tsarki ne, Ni wanda ya mai da ku masu tsarki.
You must consider that you are holy, because you offer food to me, your God. Consider yourselves to be holy because I, Yahweh, [the one who caused you to be priests and] the one who enables you to be holy, am holy.
9 “‘In’yar firist ta ɓata kanta ta wurin zama karuwa, ta kunyatar da mahaifinta ke nan; dole a ƙone ta da wuta.
If a priest’s daughter disgraces herself by becoming a prostitute, she disgraces her father; and she must be killed by being burned in a fire.
10 “‘Babban firist, wanda yake ɗaya cikin’yan’uwansa wanda aka shafe da mai a kansa, wanda kuma aka naɗa don yă sa rigunan firistoci, kada yă bar gashin kansa buzu-buzu, ko ya kyakketa rigunansa.
The Supreme Priest is the one among his relatives who has been [appointed for that work] by having his head anointed with olive oil. He is also the one who has been appointed to wear the special garments that priests wear. He must not allow the hair on his [head] to remain uncombed, and he must not tear his clothes [when he is mourning for someone].
11 Ba zai shiga inda akwai gawa ba. Kada yă ƙazantar da kansa, ko ma ta mahaifinsa ce ko ta mahaifiyarsa.
He must not enter some place where there is a corpse. He must not do that and cause himself to become unfit for his work, even if it is his father or his mother who has died.
12 An keɓe shi domina, kada yă ƙazantar da kansa, kada kuwa yă ɓata Tentin Sujada ta wurin shiga gidan da gawa take, ko ta mahaifinsa, ko ta mahaifiyarsa ce. Ni ne Ubangiji.
He must not leave the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because he would cause himself to become unfit for his work and would also defile/desecrate the Sacred Tent. He must not leave the Sacred Tent [at that time], because by being anointed with olive oil he has been (appointed/set apart) to serve his God [in the Sacred Tent]. I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding this].
13 “‘Dole macen da zai aura ta kasance budurwa.
Women whom you priests marry must be virgins.
14 Ba zai auri matan da mijinta ya mutu, ko macen da mijinta ya rabu da ita, ko macen da ta ɓata kanta ta wurin karuwanci ba, sai dai yă auri budurwa daga cikin mutanensa,
You priests must not marry widows or prostitutes or divorced women, because if you did that, [if you later have] sons, they would not be acceptable to be priests among your people. You must marry only virgins from among your own people. I am Yahweh, who sets priests apart to be holy.’”
15 don kada yă ƙazantar da’ya’yansa a cikin mutanensa. Ni ne Ubangiji, wanda ya mai da shi mai tsarki.’”
16 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
17 “Faɗa wa Haruna cewa, ‘Don tsararraki masu zuwa, kada ko ɗaya daga cikin zuriyarka, da yake da lahani yă zo kusa domin yă miƙa hadaya ta ci gare ni.
“Say this to Aaron: 'For all future time, none of your descendants who has any defects [on his body] will be allowed to come near [the altar] to offer [sacrifices to me which will be like] [MET] my food:
18 Duk mai lahani, ko makaho, ko gurgu, ko mai naƙasa, ko mai wani lahani a jiki;
No one who is blind or lame or deformed, or whose [face is] disfigured,
19 ko mai karyayyen ƙafa, ko mai karyayyen hannu,
no man with a crippled foot or a crippled hand,
20 ko mai ƙusumbi, ko wada, ko wanda yake da lahani a ido, ko mai cuta mai sa ƙaiƙayi, ko mai kirci, ko wanda aka daƙe, ba zai yi kusa domin yă miƙa hadaya ba.
no man who is a hunchback or a dwarf, no man whose eyes are defective, no man who has a skin disease [DOU] or whose testicles have been damaged is allowed to brings sacrifices.
21 Ba zuriyar Haruna firist, mai lahanin da zai zo kusa don yă miƙa hadayun da aka yi ga Ubangiji da wuta. Da yake yana da lahani, ba zai zo kusa don yă miƙa abincin Allahnsa ba.
No descendant of Aaron, the [first Supreme] Priest, who has any defect is allowed to come to the altar to offer to me, his God, sacrifices that will be burned.
22 Zai iya cin abinci mafi tsarki na Allahnsa, haka ma abinci mai tsarki;
Priests who have defects are permitted to eat the various kinds of holy food offered to me.
23 duk da haka saboda lahaninsa, ba zai yi kusa da labule, ko yă yi kusa da bagade don kada yă ƙazantar da wuri mai tsarkina. Ni ne Ubangiji wanda yake mai da su masu tsarki.’”
But because of their defects, they must not go near the curtain [in the Sacred Tent] or near the altar, because if they did that, they would desecrate my Sacred Tent. I am Yahweh, the one who sets those places apart as being holy.'”
24 Sai Musa ya faɗa wannan wa Haruna da’ya’yansa maza da kuma dukan Isra’ilawa.
So Moses/I told this to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israeli people.
