Thothuengnah 13

1 BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,

Yahweh spoke to Moses and to 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 anyone has on the skin of his body a swelling or scab or a bright spot, and it becomes infected and there is a skin disease in his body, then he must be brought to Aaron the high priest, or to 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.

Then the priest will examine the disease in the skin of his body. If the hair in the diseased area has turned white, and if the disease appears to be deeper than just on the skin, then it is an infectious disease. After the priest examines him, he must 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.

If the bright spot in his skin is white, and the appearance of it is no deeper than the skin, and if the hair in the diseased area has not turned white, then the priest must isolate the one with the disease for 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.

On the seventh day, the priest must examine him to see if in his opinion the disease is not any worse, and if it has not spread in the skin. If it has not, then the priest must isolate him 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.

The priest will examine him again on the seventh day to see if the disease is better and has not spread farther in the skin. If it has not, then the priest will pronounce him clean. It is a rash. He must wash his clothes, and then he is 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 rash has spread in the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must then show himself to the priest again.

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.

The priest will examine him to see if the rash has spread farther in the skin. If it has spread, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease.

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

When an infectious skin disease is in someone, then he must be brought to 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.

The priest will examine him to see if there is a white swelling in the skin, if the hair has turned white, or if there is raw flesh in the swelling.

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.

If there is, then it is a chronic skin disease, and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He will not isolate him, because he is already unclean.

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.

If the disease breaks out widely in the skin and covers all the skin of the person with the disease from his head to his feet, as far as it appears to 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 the priest must examine him to see if the disease has covered all his body. If it has, then the priest must pronounce the person who has the disease as clean. If it has all turned white, then he is clean.

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

But if raw flesh appears on him, he will be unclean.

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

The priest must look at the raw flesh and pronounce him unclean because the raw flesh is unclean. It is an infectious disease.

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

But if the raw flesh turns white again, then the person must go to 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.

The priest will examine him to see if the flesh has turned white. If it has then the priest will pronounce that person to be clean.

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

When a person has a boil on the skin and it has 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.

and in place of the boil there is white swelling or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it must be shown to 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.

The priest will examine it to see if it appears deeper under the skin, and if the hair there has turned white. If so, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease, if it has developed in the place where the boil was.

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 examines it and sees that there is no white hair in it, and that it is not under the skin but has faded, then the priest must isolate him for 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.

If it spreads widely in the skin, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease.

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 the bright spot stays in its place and has not spread, then it is the scar of the boil, and the priest must 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.

When the skin has a burn and the raw flesh of the burn has become a reddish-white or white spot,

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 the priest will examine it to see if the hair in that spot has turned white, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin. If it has, then it is an infectious disease. It has broken out in the burn, and the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease.

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 examines it and finds that there is no white hair in the spot, and it is not under the skin but has faded, then the priest must isolate him for 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.

Then the priest must examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread widely in the skin, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease.

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.

If the spot stays in its place and has not spread in the skin but has faded, then it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest must pronounce him clean, for it is nothing more than the scar of the burn.

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

If a man or woman has an infectious disease on the head or chin,

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 the priest must examine the person for an infectious disease to see if it appears to be deeper than the skin, and if there is yellow, thin hair in it. If there is, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an itch, an infectious disease on the head or the chin.

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.

If the priest examines the itching disease and sees that it is not under the skin, and if there is no black hair in it, then the priest will isolate the person with the itching disease for 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.

On the seventh day the priest will examine the disease to see if it has spread. If there is no yellow hair, and if the disease appears to be only skin deep,

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 he must be shaved, but the diseased area must not be shaved, and the priest must isolate the person with the itching disease for seven more days.

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.

On the seventh day the priest will examine the disease to see if it has stopped spreading in the skin. If it appears to be no deeper than the skin, then the priest must pronounce him clean. The person must wash his clothes, and then he will be clean.

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

But if the itching disease has spread widely in the skin after the priest said he was 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 the priest must examine him again. If the disease has spread in the skin, the priest does not need to seek for yellow hair. The person is unclean.

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 the priest's view the itching disease has stopped spreading and black hair has grown in the area, then the disease has healed. He is clean, and the priest must pronounce him clean.

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

If a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,

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 the priest must examine the person to see if the spots are a dull white, which is only a rash that has broken out in the skin. He is clean.

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

If a man's hair has fallen out of his head, he is bald, but he is clean.

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

If his hair has fallen out of the front part of his head, and if his forehead is bald, 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 if there is a reddish-white sore on his bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease that has broken out.

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.

Then the priest must examine him to see if the swelling of the diseased area on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white, like the appearance of an infectious disease in the skin.

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.

If it is, then he has an infectious disease and he is unclean. The priest must surely pronounce him unclean because of his disease on his head.

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.

The person who has an infectious disease must wear torn clothes, his hair must hang loosely, and he must cover his face up to his nose and call out, 'Unclean, unclean.'

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 he has the infectious disease he will be unclean. Because he is unclean with a disease that can spread, he must live alone. He must live outside the camp.

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

A garment that is contaminated with mildew, whether it is a wool or linen garment,

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

or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen, or leather or anything made with leather—

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.

if there is a greenish or reddish contamination in the garment, the leather, the woven or knitted material, or anything made of leather, then it is a mildew that spreads; it must be shown to the priest.

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

The priest must examine the item for mildew; he must isolate anything that has mildew for 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.

He must examine the mildew again on the seventh day. If it has spread in the garment or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen material, or leather or anything in which leather is used, then it is harmful mildew, and the item is unclean.

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.

He must burn the garment, or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen material, or leather or anything made with leather, anything in which the harmful mildew is found, for it can lead to disease. The item must be completely burned 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.

If the priest examines the item and sees that the mildew has not spread in the garment or material woven or knitted from wool or linen, or leather goods,

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 he will command them to wash the item in which the mildew was found, and he must isolate it for seven more days.

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 the priest will examine the item after the mildewed item was washed. If the mildew has not changed its color, even though it has not spread, it is unclean. You must burn the item, no matter where the mildew has contaminated it.

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.

If the priest examines the item, and if the mildew has faded after it was washed, then he must tear out the contaminated part from the garment or from the leather, or from the woven or knitted material.

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.

If the mildew still appears in the garment, either in the woven or knitted material, or in anything made of leather, it is spreading. You must burn any item that has the mildew.

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.

The garment or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen material, or leather or anything made with leather—if you wash the item and the mildew is gone, then the item must be washed a second time, and it will 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 about mildew in a garment of wool or linen, or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen material, or leather or anything made with leather, so that you may pronounce it clean or unclean.”
