And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.

Und sie sollen nicht zu mir nahen, Priesteramt zu führen, noch kommen zu allen meinen Heiligtümern, zu den hochheiligen Opfern, sondern sie sollen ihre Schande tragen und ihre Greuel, die sie geübt haben.
No serán allegados a mí para serme sacerdotes, ni se llegarán a ninguna de mis santificaciones; a las santidades de santidades; sino que llevarán su vergüenza, y sus abominaciones que hicieron.
No se acercarán a mí para servirme como sacerdotes ni se acercarán a ninguna de mis cosas santas, a las cosas santísimas. Cargarán con su humillación y con las abominaciones que cometieron.
Ils ne s'approcheront pas de moi pour être à mon service dans le sacerdoce, ils ne s'approcheront pas de mes sanctuaires, de mes lieux très saints; ils porteront la peine de leur ignominie et des abominations qu'ils ont commises.
E non si accosteranno più a me, per esercitarmi il sacerdozio, nè per accostarsi ad alcuna delle mie cose sante, cioè alle mie cose santissime; anzi porteranno la loro ignominia, e la pena delle abbominazioni che hanno commesse;
E não se chegarão a mim, para me servirem no sacerdócio, nem para se chegarem a alguma de todas as minhas coisas sagradas, às coisas que são santíssimas, mas levarão sobre si a sua vergonha e as suas abominações que cometeram.
他們不可親近我,作事奉我的祭司,也不可挨近我任何一件聖物,就是至聖的物;他們卻要擔當自己的羞辱和所行可憎之事的報應。
