Levitiko 13
1 Yehova anawuza Mose ndi Aaroni kuti,
Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
2 “Munthu akakhala ndi chithupsa, kapena mʼbuko, kapena chikanga pa thupi lake chimene chitha kusanduka nthenda ya khate, abwere naye munthuyo kwa Aaroni wansembe kapena kwa mmodzi mwa ana ake amene ndi ansembe.
“When someone has on his skin a swelling or a rash or a shiny/bright spot that may become (contagious/a dreaded skin disease), he must be brought to Aaron or to one of his sons who are also priests.
3 Tsono wansembe ayangʼanitsitse nthendayo pa khungupo, ndipo ngati ubweya wa pamalo pamene pali nthendapo wasanduka woyera, komanso kuti nthendayo yazama mʼkati kupitirira khungu, ndiye kuti nthendayo ndi khate. Wansembe akamuonetsetsa alengeze kuti ndi wodetsedwa.
The priest must examine that part of the person’s skin. If the hair in that area has become white and it appears that the sore is deeper than just on the skin, it is a contagious skin disease. When the priest sees that, he must declare that the person must stay away from other people [MTY].
4 Ngati chikanga cha pa khungulo chikuoneka choyera, ndipo kuya kwake sikukuonekera kuti kwapitirira khungu ndi ubweya wake pamalopo sunasanduke woyera, wansembe amuyike wodwalayo padera kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
If the spot on the person’s skin is white but it does not appear that the sore is deeper than just on the skin, the priest must tell him to stay away from other people for seven days.
5 Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri wansembe amuonenso bwino wodwalayo. Ndipo ngati waona kuti nthendayo sinasinthe ndipo sinafalikire pa khungu, amuyikenso wodwalayo padera kwa masiku ena asanu ndi awiri.
Then the priest must examine the person again. If the priest sees that the sore has not changed and has not spread, he must tell the person to stay away from people for seven more days.
6 Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri wansembeyo amuonenso bwino munthuyo, ndipo ngati nthendayo yazima ndi kusafalikira pa khungu, wansembe amutchule munthuyo kuti ndi woyera. Umenewo unali mʼbuko chabe. Choncho munthuyo achape zovala zake ndipo adzakhala woyera.
Then the priest must examine him again. If the sore has faded and has not spread, the priest will allow him to be with other people again; it is only a rash. After the person washes his clothes, he will be allowed to be with other people again.
7 Koma ngati mʼbukowo ufalikira pakhungu atakadzionetsa kale kwa wansembe ndipo wansembeyo nʼkulengeza kuti munthuyo ndi woyeretsedwa, ndiye kuti apitenso kukadzionetsa kwa wansembeyo.
But if the sore spreads after the priest has examined him, he must go to the priest again.
8 Wansembe amuonetsetsenso munthuyo, ndipo ngati mʼbukowo wafalikira pa khungu, wansembe alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi wodetsedwa ndi kuti nthendayo ndi khate.
The priest will examine him; and if the sore has spread to more of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people.
9 “Ngati munthu aliyense ali ndi nthenda ya pakhungu yoyipitsa thupi, wodwalayo abwere naye kwa wansembe.
When anyone has a contagious skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
10 Wansembe amuonetsetse munthuyo, ndipo ngati ali ndi chithupsa chamaonekedwe woyera pa khungupo chimene chasandutsa ubweya wa pamalopo kukhala woyera, ndipo ngati pali zilonda pa chotupacho,
The priest must examine him. And if there is a white swelling in the skin that has caused the hair in that swelling to become white, and if the flesh in that area is painful/sensitive,
11 limenelo ndi khate lachikhalire la pa khungu, ndipo wansembe alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi wodetsedwa. Asamutsekere munthu woteroyo pakuti ndi wodetsedwa kale.
it is a permanent skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people. The priest does not need to tell that person that he must avoid other people, because other people already are wanting to stay away from him.
12 “Ndipo ngati, mʼkuona kwa wansembe, khate lija lafalikira pa khungu lonse moti lamugwira thupi lonse kuyambira kumutu mpaka kumapazi,
‘If the disease spreads all over someone’s body, and the priest examines that person and sees that it is covering his skin from his head to his feet,
13 wansembe amuonetsetse munthuyo, ndipo ngati khatero lagwira thupi lake lonse, wansembe alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi woyera. Popeza kuti thupi lonse lasanduka loyera, munthuyo ndi woyeretsedwa.
and it has caused all his skin to become white [which will indicate that the disease has ended], the priest will declare that the person does not have to stay away from other people.
14 Koma pa tsiku limene zilonda zidzaoneka pa iye, munthuyo adzakhala wodetsedwa.
But if the person has open sores and they are very painful/sensitive, he has a contagious skin disease,
15 Wansembe aonetsetse zilondazo ndipo alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi wodetsedwa. Zilondazo ndi zodetsedwa ndipo ili ndi khate.
and when the priest sees that, he will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
16 Koma zilondazo zikasinthika ndi kusanduka zoyera, munthuyo ayenera kupita kwa wansembe.
But if the person’s flesh changes and becomes white, he must go to the priest again.
17 Wansembe amuonetsetse ndipo ngati zilondazo zasanduka zoyera, wansembe amutchule wodwalayo kuti ndi woyera ndipo adzakhala woyera ndithu.
The priest must examine him again; and if the sores have become white, the priest will declare that the person who had been infected is now permitted to be with other people again.
18 “Ngati pa khungu la munthu wodwalayo pali chithupsa chimene chinapola kale,
‘Then someone has a boil on his skin and it has healed,
19 ndipo pamalo pamene panali chithupsacho pakatuluka chotupa choyera kapena banga loyera mofiirira, munthuyo ayenera kukadzionetsa kwa wansembe.
but in the place where the boil was a white swelling or a bright/shiny spot appears, he must go to the priest.
20 Wansembe aonetsetse bwino ndipo ngati chikuoneka kuti chazama, ndipo ubweya wa pamalopo wasanduka woyera, wansembe alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi wodetsedwa. Imeneyo ndi nthenda ya khate imene yatuluka mʼchithupsacho.
The priest must examine it. And if it seems to be deeper than just on the skin, and if the hair in that spot has become white, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the boil had been. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
21 Koma ngati wansembe waonetsetsa napeza kuti palibe ubweya woyera ndipo chithupsacho sichinazame, koma chazimirira, wansembeyo amuyike padera wodwalayo kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin and has become less bright/shiny, then the priest will order him to stay away from other people for seven days.
22 Ngati nthendayo ikufalikira pa khungu, wansembe alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi wodetsedwa. Limeneli ndi khate.
But if it is spreading, it is contagious and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
23 Koma bangalo likakhala malo amodzi, wosafalikira, chimenecho ndi chipsera cha chithupsacho, ndipo wansembe alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi woyera.
But if that spot is unchanged and has not spread, it is only a scar from the boil, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
24 “Munthu akakhala ndi bala lamoto pa khungu lake, ndipo chilonda cha balalo chikasanduka banga loyera mofiirira kapena loyera,
‘Then someone has a burn on his skin and a bright/shiny or white spot appears, and the flesh in that area is sensitive/painful,
25 wansembe aonetsetse bangalo, ndipo ngati ubweya wa pa bangapo usanduka woyera, ndipo balalo lioneka kuti ndi lozama, limenelo ndi khate lomwe latuluka pa balalo. Wansembe alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi wodetsedwa. Limenelo ndi khate la pa khungu.
the priest must examine the spot. If the hair in that spot has turned white and it seems to be deeper than just on the surface of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the burn was, and that person must stay away from other people.
26 Koma ngati wansembe waonetsetsa balalo ndipo palibe ubweya woyera, ndipo ngati balalo silinazame ndi kuti lazirala, wansembe amuyike padera wodwalayo kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
But when the priest examines it and sees that there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin, and has faded, the priest will declare that the person must stay away from people for seven days.
27 Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri wansembe amuonenso wodwalayo, ndipo ngati bangalo lafalikira pa khungu, wansembe alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi wodetsedwa. Limenelo ndi khate.
On the seventh day, the priest will examine him again. If the sore is spreading, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
28 Koma ngati bangalo likhala pa malo amodzi wosafalikira pa khungu, ndipo lazimirira, limenelo ndi thuza la bala lamoto, ndipo wansembe alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi woyera. Chimenecho ndi chipsera chamoto.
However, if the spot is not changed and has not spread but has faded, it is only a scar from the burn, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
29 “Mwamuna kapena mkazi akakhala ndi nthenda kumutu kapena ku chibwano,
‘If a man or a woman has a sore on his head or on his chin,
30 wansembe aonetsetse balalo ndipo likaoneka kuti lazama, ndipo ubweya wa pamalopo wasanduka wachikasu ndi wonyololoka, wansembe alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi wodetsedwa. Zimenezo ndi mfundu zonyerenyetsa, khate lakumutu kapena ku chibwano.
the priest must examine it. If it appears to be deeper than [just on the surface of] the skin, and the hair in that spot has thinned out and has become yellowish, it is a contagious skin disease that causes itching. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
31 Koma wansembe akaonetsetsa mfundu zonyerenyetsazo, ndipo zikaoneka kuti sizinazame ndi kuti palibe ubweya wakuda, wansembe amuyike padera munthuyo kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
But when the priest examines that kind of sore, if it seems to be only on the surface of the skin and there is no healthy hair in it, the priest will tell the person to stay away from other people for seven days.
32 Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri wansembe aonetsetsenso mfundu zonyerenyetsazo, ndipo ngati sizinafalikire ndipo palibe ubweya wachikasu pamalopo ndiponso sizinazame,
On the seventh day, the priest will examine the sore again. If it has not spread and if there is no yellow hair in that spot and if it appears to be only on the surface of the skin,
33 wodwalayo ametedwe, koma pamene pali mfunduyo pasametedwe. Wansembe amuyike padera munthuyo kwa masiku enanso asanu ndi awiri.
the person must shave the hair near the sore but not the hair on the sore. And the priest will tell him to stay away from other people for seven more days.
34 Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri wansembe aonetsetsenso mfundu zonyerenyetsazo ndipo ngati sizinafalikire pa khungu ndi kuti sizinazame, wansembe alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi woyera. Tsono achape zovala zake, ndipo adzakhala woyera.
On the seventh day, the priest will examine that spot again. If it has not spread and it appears to be only on the surface of the skin, the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with people again. The person must wash his clothes, and then he can be with other people.
35 Koma mfundu zonyerenyetsazo zikafalikira pa khungu, wansembe atalengeza kuti ndi woyera,
But if the sore later spreads,
36 wansembe amuonetsetsenso wodwalayo ndipo ngati mfunduzo zafalikira pa khungu, iye asalabadirenso zoyangʼana ngati ubweya uli wachikasu. Munthuyo ndi wodetsedwa.
the priest must examine him again. If the itch/sore has spread, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair, because it is clear that the person has a contagious skin disease.
37 Koma ngati wansembe waonetsetsa kuti mfunduzo sizinasinthe ndipo ubweya wakuda wamera pa mfundupo, ndiye kuti wodwalayo wachira. Tsono wansembe alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi woyeretsedwa.
However, if the priest thinks that the spot has not changed, and healthy hair is growing in that area, it is clear that the itch has healed, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
38 “Mwamuna kapena mkazi akakhala ndi mawanga woyera pa khungu,
‘Then a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
39 wansembe aonetsetse mawangawo, ndipo ngati ali otuwa, ndiye kuti ndi mibuko chabe yotuluka pa khungu. Munthuyo ndi woyera.
the priest should examine them. But if the spots are dull white, it is only a rash, and [the priest will declare that] the person is permitted to be with other people.
40 “Tsitsi la munthu likayoyoka kumutu ndiye kuti ndi dazi limenelo koma munthuyo ndi woyeretsedwa.
‘If a man loses the hair on any part of his head, he does not need to stay away from other people.
41 Ngati tsitsi lake layoyoka chapamphumi ndiye kuti ndi dazi la pa chipumi limenelo koma munthuyo ndi woyera.
42 Koma ngati pa dazi la pamutu kapena la pa chipumi pakhala chithupsa choyera mofiirira, ndiye kuti ndi khate limenelo lochokera mu dazi la pamutu lija kapena pa chipumi lija.
But if he gets a bright/shiny sore on his bald head or on his forehead, he has a contagious skin disease.
43 Tsono wansembe amuonetsetse wodwalayo ndipo ngati chithupsa cha pa dazi lapankhongo kapena pa dazi lapachipumicho ndi choyera mofiirira monga nthenda ya khate imaonekera,
The priest must examine him. If the swollen sore is a bright spot like [the spot on someone who has] a contagious skin disease,
44 ndiye kuti munthuyo ali ndi khate, motero ndi wodetsedwa. Wansembe alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi wodetsedwa chifukwa cha chithupsa cha pamutu pakepo.
the priest will declare that the man has a contagious skin disease and must not be with other people.
45 “Munthu wa khate lotere avale sanza, tsitsi lake alilekerere, aphimbe mlomo wake wapamwamba ndipo azifuwula kuti, ‘Ndine wodetsedwa, ndine wodetsedwa!’
‘Anyone who has a contagious skin disease must wear torn clothes and not comb his hair. [When he is near other people], he must cover the lower part to his face and call out, “Do not come near me! I have a contagious skin disease!”
46 Munthu wodwalayo adzakhala wodetsedwa kwa nthawi yonse imene ali ndi nthendayo. Iye ayenera kumakhala payekha kunja kwa msasa.
He is not allowed to be with other people as long as he has the disease. He must live alone, outside the camp.’”
47 “Nsalu iliyonse ikakhala ndi nguwi,
“Sometimes a person’s clothing gets mildew on it. It may be clothing that is woven from wool or made from linen or from leather.
48 kaya ndi chovala chopangidwa ndi nsalu yathonje kapena yaubweya, yoluka ndi thonje kapena ubweya, yachikopa kapena yopangidwa ndi chikopa,
49 ndipo ngati pamalo pamene pachita nguwiyo pali ndi maonekedwe obiriwira kapena ofiirira imeneyo ndi nguwi yoyipitsa chovala ndipo chovalacho chikaonetsedwe kwa wansembe.
If the contaminated/mildewed part is greenish or reddish, it is a spreading mildew, and it must be shown to the priest.
50 Wansembeyo ayionetsetse nguwiyo ndipo chovalacho achiyike padera kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
The priest will examine it, and then put it in a separate place by itself for seven days.
51 Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ayionetsetsenso nguwiyo ndipo ngati nguwiyo yafalikira pa chovalacho, chathonje kapena chaubweya, kapena pa chikopacho, kaya ndi cha ntchito ya mtundu wanji, imeneyo ndi nguwi yoopsa ndipo chovalacho ndi chodetsedwa.
On the seventh day he must examine it again. If the mildew has spread, it is clear that it is a type of mildew that destroys clothing, and that clothing must not be worn again.
52 Wansembe atenthe chovala chathonje kapena chaubweya chija, ngakhalenso chinthu chachikopa chija popeza nguwiyo yachidetsa. Nguwiyo ndi yoopsa choncho chinthucho achitenthe.
The owner must burn completely the item that has the mildew in it, whatever kind of item it is.
53 “Koma ngati wansembe akayangʼanitsitsa nguwiyo apeza kuti sinafalikire pa chovalacho kapena pa chinthu chilichonse chachikopa,
But when the priest examines it, if the mildew has not spread,
54 iye alamulire kuti chinthu choyipitsidwacho achichape. Akatero achiyike padera kwa masiku enanso asanu ndi awiri.
he will tell the person [who owns it] to wash it. Then he must put it in a separate place for another seven days.
55 Chovalacho chitachapidwa, wansembe achionenso ndipo ngati nguwiyo sinasinthe maonekedwe ake, ngakhale kuti sinafalikire, chovalacho ndi chodetsedwa ndithu. Muchitenthe, ngakhale kuti nguwiyo ili kumbuyo kapena kumaso kwa chinthucho.
Then the priest will examine it again. If the color of the mildew has not changed, even though it has not spread, that item must not be worn again. It does not matter if the mildew is on the inside of the clothing or on the outside; it must be burned.
56 Koma ngati wansembe aonetsetsa nʼkupeza kuti nguwi ija yathimbirira pa chovala chija kapena pa chinthu chachikopa chija atachichapa, ndiye angʼambeko chinthucho pa banga la nguwiyo.
But when the priest examines it [after it has been washed], if the mildew has faded, he must tear out that part that had the mildew in it.
57 Koma ngati nguwiyo iwonekanso pa chovala chathonje kapena chaubweya ndiye kuti nguwiyo ikufalikira. Chilichonse chimene chili ndi nguwi chiyenera kutenthedwa.
But if the mildew reappears in that item, it is clear that it is spreading, and the whole item must be burned.
58 Chovala chathonje kapena chaubweya, ngakhale chinthu china chilichonse chopangidwa ndi chikopa, mukachichapa nguwi yake nʼkuchoka muchichapenso kawiri ndipo chidzakhala choyeretsedwa.”
But after the clothing is washed and the mildew disappears, it must be washed again, and then it can be worn again.
59 Amenewa ndiwo malamulo a nguwi yokhala pa chovala chaubweya kapena pa chovala chathonje, kapenanso pa chinthu chilichonse chopangidwa ndi chikopa kuti muzitha kulekanitsa choyeretsedwa ndi chodetsedwa.
Those are the regulations concerning mildew on things made of wool or linen or leather, for deciding whether those things can continue to be worn or not.”
