Thothuengnah 13

1 BOEIPA. loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,

And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying—

2 “Hlang a vin a saa dongah a phuem mai khaw, a vinhna mai khaw, a dikdak la om tih a vin a saa dongah hmaibae tloh la om mai ni. Te vaengah khosoih Aaron taengah khaw, khosoih koca rhoek khuikah pakhat taengah khaw khuen saeh.

When, any man, shall have—in the skin of his flesh—a rising, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it shall become in the skin of his flesh the plague-spot of leprosy, then shall he be brought in unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests;

3 A vin saa dongkah a tloh te khosoih loh a sawt vaengah a hma dongkah a mul te a bok la om tih a tloh kah a hmuethma khaw a vin saa khuila dawp a dung atah hmaibae tloh coeng ni. Tedae khosoih. loh so saeh lamtah anih poeih uh ti saeh.

and the priest shall view the spot in the skin of his flesh—if, the hair in the plague, have turned white and the appearance of the spot be deeper than the skin of his flesh, the plague-spot of leprosy, it is, —so the priest shall view him and pronounce him unclean.

4 Te vaengah a vin saa dongkah dikdak la bok dae a hmuethma loh a vin khuila dung pawt tih a mul khaw a bok la a om pawt atah hlang tlo te khosoih loh hnin rhih khoh dae saeh.

But, if the bright spot, though white in the skin of his flesh, is not deeper in appearance than the skin, and, the hair, hath not turned white, then shall the priest shut up the plagued one, seven days.

5 A rhih hnin vaengah khosoih. loh so saeh. Tedae tloh te a mikhmuh hmuen la om tih a vin khuila tloh rhoeng mai mahpawh. Te vaengah anih te khosoih. loh pabae la hnin rhih parhaeng saeh.

And the priest shall view him on the seventh day, and lo! if the spot hath stayed to his sight, and the spot hath not spread in the skin, then shall the priest shut him up seven days more,

6 A hnin rhih dongah anih te khosoih. loh pabae la so bal saeh. Te vaengah a hma te maat tih a vin dongkah a hma khaw a rhoeng pawt atah khosoih. loh caihcil coeng ti saeh. Phai la a om dongah a himbai te a suk vetih caihcil bitni.

Then shall the priest view him on the seventh day, a second time, and lo! if the spot is, faint, and the spot hath not spread in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him clean—it is, a scab, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

7 Tedae a ciimnah ham khosoih taengla a tueng phoeiah a vin dongkah phai a rhoeng la a rhoeng atah khosoih taengah pabae la tueng bal saeh.

But if the scab shall have, verily spread, in the skin, since he was shown to the priest that he might be cleansed, then shall he shew himself again unto the priest;

8 Khosoih loh a sawt vaengah a vin dongkah phai te a rhoeng atah anih te khosoih. loh poeih uh coeng ti saeh. Te te hmaibae ni.

and the priest shall take a view, and lo! if the scab hath spread in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean—leprosy, it is.

9 Hmaibae tloh he hlang dongah a om van neh khosoih taengla khuen saeh.

When, the plague of leprosy, cometh to be in any human being, then shall he be brought in unto the priest;

10 Khosoih loh a sawt vaengah a vin te a bok la phuem tih, a phuem dongkah a mul te a bok la a poeh phoeiah a saa te thingsup la a thing mai ni.

and the priest shall take a view, and lo! if there is a white rising in the skin and, the same, hath turned the hair white, —and there be a wound of raw flesh in the rising,

11 A vin a saa dongkah hmaibae he rhung coeng tih a poeih uh coeng. Anih te rhalawt coeng tih khosoih. loh anih parhaeng voel boel saeh.

an old leprosy, it is in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, —he shall not shut him up, for unclean, he is.

12 Tedae a vin dongah hmaibae te hnai khaw hnai mai ni. Te vaengah khosoih mik kah hmuhnah boeih ah hlangtlo kah a vin boeih te hmaibae. loh a lu lamkah a kho duela a thing mai ni.

But, if the leprosy, cometh quite out, in the skin, and the leprosy covereth all the skin of him that, is plagued, from his head even unto his feet, —so far as appeareth to the eyes of the priest,

13 Te vaengah khosoih. loh so saeh lamtah a pumsa tom te hmaibae loh a thing tih tloh te a bok la boeih a om atah anih te caihcil coeng ti saeh. Anih te cim ngawn.

then shall the priest takes view and lo! if the leprosy hath covered all his flesh, then shall he pronounce clean him that was plagued, —all of it, hath turned white, clean, he is.

14 Tedae a pum dongah a saa thing a phoe tue vaengah tah aka poeih uh la om ni.

But, the very day there appeareth in him raw flesh, he shall be unclean;

15 Tedae a saa te khosoih loh a haeng la a hmuh saeh daengah ni poeih uh a ti eh. A saa a haeng atah hmaibae coeng tih anih rhalawt om.

so then the priest shall view the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean, —as for the raw flesh, unclean, it is, leprosy, it is.

16 Tedae a saa thing te hoilae uh tih a bok la a poeh atah khosoih taengla koep khuen saeh.

Or, if the raw flesh turn again and be changed to white, then shall he come in unto the priest;

17 Khosoih loh a sawt tih a tloh te a bok la a poeh atah khosoih loh anih caihcil coeng ti saeh. A tloh te cim ngawn.

and the priest shall view him, and lo! if the spot hath changed to white, then shall the priest pronounce clean him that was plagued—clean, he is.

18 A pumsa kah a vin dongkah buhlut om tih hoeih mai ni.

And, when, any one’s flesh, hath, in the skin thereof, a boil, —and then it is healed;

19 Te buhlut hmuen ah a bok la aka phuem mai khaw, dikdak la a ling a bok te a om atah khosoih taengla tueng saeh.

but in the place of the boil, is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish white, then shall it be shown unto the priest.

20 Khosoih loh a sawt vaengah a hmuethma loh a vin khuila dung tih a mul khaw a bok la a poeh atah khosoih. loh anih poeih uh coeng ti saeh. Buhlut dongkah aka puek hmaibae tloh ni.

And the priest shall take a view and lo! if the appearance thereof, is lower than the skin, and, the hair thereof, hath turned white, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean—the plague-spot of leprosy, it, is, in the boil, broken out.

21 Tedae te te khosoih loh so saeh lamtah a mul te a khuiah bok mai pawt nim? Te te a vin lakah dung pawt tih nuk mai ni. Te vaengah anih te khosoih. loh hnin rhih parhaeng saeh.

But, if the priest shall view it and lo! there is no white hair therein, and it is not deeper than the skin, and, in itself, is faint, then shall the priest shut him up seven days;

22 Tedae a vin dongah ni a rhoeng la a rhoeng atah khosoih loh anih te poeih uh coeng ti saeh. Te te tloh coeng ni.

and, if it, clearly spreadeth, in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean—a plague-spot, it is.

23 Tedae dikdak te amah hmuen la om tih buhlut kah vinhnahlo khaw a rhoeng pawt atah anih te khosoih loh caihcil coeng ti saeh.

But if in its place the bright spot stayeth hath not spread, a boil, it is, —and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

24 A vin a saa khaw hmai ung bangla om tih dikdak aka bok te khaw aka ung thai a ling a bok la a om atah, khosoih loh koep so saeh.

Or, when, any one’s flesh, hath in the skin thereof a fiery burning, —and the burning wound becometh a bright spot reddish white, or white,

25 Te vaengah dikdak dongkah a mul te a bok la poeh tih a hmuethma loh a vin khuila a dung atah hmai ung dongkah aka phoe hmaibae coeng ni. Te dongah khosoih loh anih poeih uh coeng ti saeh. Te te hmaibae tloh coeng ni.

then shall the priest view it—and lo! if the hair is turned white in the bright spot and the appearance thereof is deeper than the skin, leprosy, it is, broken out, in the burning, —so the priest shall pronounce him unclean, the plague-spot of leprosy, it is.

26 Tedae khosoih loh a sawt vaengah dikdak dongkah a mul khaw bok voel pawt tih a vin khuila dung pawt dae a nuk atah anih te khosoih loh hnin rhih parhaeng bal saeh.

But, if the priest shall view it and lo! there is not, in the bright spot white hair, and it is not deeper than the skin but, itself, is faint, then shall the priest shut him up seven days;

27 A hnin rhih dongah khosoih loh koep so saeh lamtah a vin dongah ni a rhoeng la a rhoeng atah khosoih loh anih poeih uh coeng ti saeh. Te te hmaibae tloh coeng ni.

and the priest shall view him on the seventh day, —if it, hath plainly spread in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean, the plague-spot of leprosy, it is.

28 Tedae dikdak te amah hmuen la om tih a vin dongah khaw rhoeng pawt tih a ung kah a phuem te a nukyum mai ni. A ung kah vinhnahlo la a om dongah anih te khosoih loh caihcil coeng ti saeh.

But, if, in its place the bright spot hath stayed, and hath not spread in the skin, but, itself, is faint, the rising of a burning, it is, —and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for only the inflaming of the burning, it is.

29 tongpa khaw huta mai khaw, a lu neh a baengpae dongah tloh om mai ni.

And, when there cometh to be in, any man or woman, a spot, —in the head or in the beard,

30 Tloh te khosoih loh a sawt vaengah a hmuethma loh a vin khuila dung tih a mul khaw huephuep a ae atah khosoih loh anih poeih uh coeng ti saeh. A lu neh a baengpae kah a thak te hmaibae ni.

then shall the priest view the spot and lo! if, the appearance thereof, is deeper than the skin, and, therein, is yellow, thin hair, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean a scall, it is, a leprosy of the head or of the beard, it is.

31 Tedae thak tloh te khosoih loh a sawt vaengah a hmuethma te a vin khuila dung pawt tih a sam muem mai mahpawh. Te vaengah khosoih loh thak tloh kongah hnin rhih parhaeng dae saeh.

But when the priest vieweth the spot, and lo! there is, no appearance, of it deeper than the skin, and, no dark hair, is therein, then shall the priest shut up him that hath the plague-spot of scall, seven days;

32 A hnin rhih dongah a tloh te khosoih loh koep so saeh. Te vaengah thak te rhoeng pawh, a mul dongah a ae om pawh, thak hmuethma khaw a vin khuila dung mahpawh.

and the priest shall view the spot on the seventh day, and lo! if the scall hath not spread, and there hath not come to be therein yellow hair, —and, the appearance of the scall, is not deeper than the skin,

33 Te vaengah vo saeh lamtah a thak te tah vo boel saeh. Te phoeiah aka thak te khosoih loh a pabae la hnin rhih parhaeng saeh.

then shall he shave himself, but the scall, shall he not shave, and the priest shall shut up him who hath the scall seven days, more;

34 A hnin rhih dongah a thak te khosoih loh koep so saeh. Te vaengah a vin dongkah a thak te rhoeng pawt tih a hmuethma khaw a vin khuila a dung pawt atah khosoih loh anih caihcil coeng ti saeh. Te phoeiah a himbai suk saeh lamtah caihcil saeh.

then shall the priest view the scall, on the seventh day, and lo! if the scall hath not spread in the skin, and, the appearance thereof, is not deeper than the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him clean, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

35 Tedae a ciimnah hnukah a thak te a vin dongah a rhoeng la rhoeng mai ni.

But, if the scall do indeed spread in the skin, —after he hath been pronounced clean,

36 Te vaengah khosoih. loh so saeh lamtah a vin dongkah a thak te a rhoeng atah a mul aka ae te khaw khosoih loh rhae hnukdawn boel saeh. Anih te rhalawt coeng ni.

then shall the priest take a view, and lo! if the scall hath spread in the skin, the priest shall not search for the yellow hair—unclean, he is.

37 Tedae thak te a mikhmuh hmuen la om tih a sam muem a cawn atah a thak te hoeih tih caih coeng. Te dongah anih te khosoih loh caihcil coeng ti saeh.

But, if in his eyes, the scall is at a stay, and dark hair hath grown up therein, the scall is healed, clean, he is, —and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38 Tongpa khaw, huta khaw a vin saa dongah dikdak dikdak la a bok om mai ni.

And when either, man or woman, hath in the skin of their flesh bright spots, —bright spots that are white,

39 Te vaengah khosoih loh so saeh lamtah a vin saa dongkah dikdak la nuk tih a bok te a vin dongah bungsap bangla a cuen atah anih te cim ngawn.

then shall the priest take a view and lo! if, in the skin of their flesh, are bright spots that are dull white, dead white spot, it is, that hath broken through in the skin—clean, he is.

40 Hlang he a lu poel tih lukoelh la om cakhaw cuemcaih ngawn.

And, when, any man’s, head loseth its hair, though, bald, he is, clean.

41 A baengpae neh a hmai lamloh a lu te tlaai tih talkoelh la om cakhaw cim ngawn.

And if, in front, his head loseth its hair, though bald in the forehead, he is, clean.

42 Tedae lukoelh dongah khaw, talkoelh dongah khaw a tloh a bok a ling la om tih a lukoelh neh a talkoelh dongla hmaibae loh a phoei mai ni.

But, should there be, in the baldness behind, or in the baldness in front, a spot that is reddish white, leprosy broken out, it is, in his baldness behind, or in his baldness in front.

43 Te vaengah anih te khosoih loh so saeh. Tloh aka phuem te a lukoelh soah khaw, a talkoelh soah khaw a vin a saa dongah hmaibae mueimae bangla a bok a ling la om mai ni.

So the priest shall view it, and lo! if, the rising-spot, be reddish white in his baldness behind or in his baldness in front, —like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh,

44 Hlang te a pahuk atah anih te rhalawt coeng tih amah te poeih uh coeng. A lu ah a tloh a om dongah khosoih loh anih poeih uh coeng ti saeh.

a leprous man, is he, unclean, he is, —unclean, shall the priest pronounce him in his head, is his plague.

45 A pum dongah tloh neh aka pahuk tah himbai pawn neh om uh saeh lamtah a lu khaw a pham la om saeh. Te phoeiah a hmui te buem saeh lamtah rhalawt coeng, rhalawt tila pang saeh.

Now, as for the leper in whom is the plague, His clothes, shall be rent, And, his head, shall be bare, And, his beard, shall he cover, —And, Unclean! Unclean! shall he cry.

46 A pum dongah tloh neh rhalawt la a poeih uh tue khuiah tah anih te tolrhum rhaehhmuen vongvoel ah amah bueng khosa saeh.

All the days that the plague is in him, shall he continue unclean, Unclean, he is, —Alone, shall he remain, Outside the camp, shall be his dwelling.

47 Hmaibae tloh te a pum dongkah himbai, tumul himbai dongah khaw, hlamik himbai dongah khaw,

And, when, in a garment, there is a plague-spot of leprosy, —whether in a garment of wool, or a garment of flax;

48 hnitah dongah khaw, hlamik hnithun dongah khaw, tumul, maehpho, maehpho neh bitat boeih dongah khaw om mai ni.

either in warp or in weft, made with flax, or with wool, —or in a skin, or in anything wrought of skin;

49 Tloh te himbai dongah khaw, a maehpho dongah khaw, hnitah dongah khaw, hnithun dongah khaw, maehpho hnopai khat khat dongah khaw a hing neh a ling la a om atah te te hmaibae tloh coeng ni. Te dongah khosoih taengla tueng saeh.

and the spot cometh to be of a greenish yellow or reddish, in the garment or in the skin, whether in warp or in weft, or in any utensil of skin, the plague-spot of leprosy, it is, —and shall be shown unto the priest;

50 Te vaengah tloh te khosoih loh so saeh lamtah hlangtlo te hnin rhih parhaeng saeh.

and the priest shall view the spot, —and shall shut up him that is plagued seven days;

51 A hnin rhih dongah a tloh te koep sawt pah saeh. Tloh te himbai dongah khaw, hnitah dongah khaw, hnithun dongah khaw, maehpho dongah khaw, maehpho neh a saii boeih dongah a phoei atah tloh loh a dom hmaibae kah bitat te rhalawt coeng.

then shall he view the spot, on the seventh day if the spot hath spread in the garment whether in warp or in weft, or in the skin, or anything which may be made of skin for service, the spot is a fretting leprosy, unclean, it is.

52 Te dongah tloh aka om himbai neh hnitah khaw, tumul hnithun khaw, hlamik khaw, maehpho neh a saii hnopai khaw boeih hoeh saeh. Hmaibae loh a dom coeng dongah hmai neh hoeh saeh.

Then shall he burn up the garment whether it be in the warp or the weft in wool or in flax, or any utensil of skin, wherein shall be the plague-spot, —for, a fretting leprosy, it is, in fire, shall it be burnt up.

53 Tedae khosoih loh a sawt vaengah a tloh te himbai dongah khaw, hnitah dongah khaw, hnithun dongah khaw, maehpho hnopai khat khat dongah khaw phoei pawt mai thai.

But if the priest shall take a view, and lo! the spot has not spread, in the garment, either in warp or in weft, —or in any utensil of skin,

54 Te vaengah khosoih. loh uen saeh lamtah a pum dongkah tloh te sil saeh. Te phoeiah anih te a pabae la hnin rhih parhaeng saeh.

then shall the priest give command, and they shall wash that wherein is the spot, —and he shall shut it up seven days more;

55 Tedae a tloh te a silh phoeiah khosoih loh so saeh. Te vaengah a tloh te rhoeng pawt cakhaw tloh te a hmuethma loh a lang pawt atah anih te rhalawt coeng ni. A hnuk a hmai ah impap om tih hmai neh hoeh laeh.

then shall the priest take a view after the plagued garment hath been washed and lo! if the spot hath not changed its look, then though the spot hath not spread, yet unclean, it is, in the fire, shalt thou burn it up, —a sunken spot, it is, in the back thereof, or in the front thereof.

56 Tedae khosoih. loh so saeh lamtah a silh phoeiah a tloh a maat atah a himbai neh maehpho khaw, hnitah neh hnithun khaw phen saeh.

And, if the priest hath taken a view, and lo! the spot is, faint, since it hath been washed, then shall he rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, whether out of the warp or out of the weft;

57 Tedae himbai neh hnitah dongah khaw, hnithun neh maehpho hnopai khat khat dongah khaw koep cuen tih koep a phoe atah tloh aka om hnopai te tah hmai neh hoeh laeh.

and, if it appear still in the garment—either in the warp or in the weft, or in any utensil of skin, a breaking out, it is, —in the fire, shalt thou burn up that wherein is the plague.

58 Tedae himbai neh hnitah khaw, hnithun neh maehpho hnopai boeih te khaw na suk vetih tloh a nong atah pabae na suk vetih caihcil bitni.

But, as for the garment—whether the warp or the weft or any utensil of skin which thou shalt wash, and the plague shall depart therefrom, then shall it be washed a second time, and shall be clean.

59 He tah tumul neh hlamik himbai khaw, hnitah neh hnithun, maehpho hnopai cungkuem dongah hmaibae tloh caihcil nah ham neh poeih uh coeng ti ham koi vaengkah olkhueng ni,” a ti nah.

This, is the law as to the plague-spot of leprosy, in a garment of wool or of flax, whether in the warp or the weft, or in any utensil of skin, —To pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
