Thothuengnah 13

1 BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,

And the Lord spoke to Moses and 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.

If any man should have in the skin of his flesh a bright clear spot, and there should be in the skin of his flesh a plague of leprosy, he shall be brought to Aaron the 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.

And the priest shall view the spot in the skin of his flesh; and [if] the hair in the spot be changed [to] white, and the appearance of the spot be below the skin of the flesh, it is a plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look upon it, 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 spot be clear and white in the skin of his flesh, yet the appearance of it be not deep below the skin, and its hair have not changed [itself for] white hair, but it is dark, then the priest shall separate [him that has] the spot 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 look on the spot the seventh day; and, behold, [if] the spot remains before him, [if] the spot has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall separate him the second time seven days.

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.

And the priest shall look upon him the second time on the seventh day; and, behold, [if] the spot be dark, [and] the spot have not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is a [mere] mark, and the man shall wash his garments 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 bright spot should have changed and spread in the skin, after the priest has seen him for the purpose of purifying him, then shall he appear the second time to 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 look upon him; and, behold, [if] the mark have spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.

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

And if a man have a plague of leprosy, then he shall come 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.

and the priest shall look, and, behold, if it is a white spot in the skin, and it has changed the hair to white, and [there be] some of the sound part of the quick flesh in the sore—

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.

it is a leprosy waxing old in the skin of the flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall separate him, because he is 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.

And if the leprosy should have come out very evidently in the skin, and the leprosy should cover all the skin of the patient from the head to the feet, wheresoever the priest shall look;

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 shall look, and, behold, the leprosy has covered all the skin of the flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague, because it has changed all to white, it is clean.

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

But on whatsoever day the quick flesh shall appear on him, he shall be pronounced 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.

And the priest shall look upon the sound flesh, and the sound flesh shall prove him to be unclean; for it is unclean, it is a leprosy.

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

But if the sound flesh be restored and changed [to] white, then shall he come 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.

and the priest shall see [him], and, behold, [if] the plague is turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the patient clean: he is clean.

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

And if the flesh should have become an ulcer in his skin, and should be 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 there should be in the place of the ulcer a white sore, or [one] looking white and bright, or fiery, and it shall be seen by 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.

then the priest shall look, and, behold, if the appearance be beneath the skin, and its hair has changed to white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; because it is a leprosy, it has broken out in the ulcer.

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 look, and behold there is no white hair on it, and it be not below the skin of the flesh, and it be dark-coloured; then the priest shall separate him 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.

But if it manifestly spread over the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy; it has broken out in the ulcer.

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 should remain in its place and not spread, it is the scar of the ulcer; 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.

And if the flesh be in his skin [in a state of] fiery inflammation, and there should be in his skin the part which is healed of the inflammation, bright, clear, and white, suffused with red or very 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 the priest shall look upon him, and, behold, [if] the hair being white is changed to a bright colour, and its appearance is lower than the skin, it is a leprosy; it has broken out in the inflammation, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy.

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 should look, and, behold, there is not in the bright spot any white hair, and it should not be lower than the skin, and it should be dark, then the priest shall separate him 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 look upon him on the seventh day; and if the spot be much spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy, it has broken out in the ulcer.

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 the bright spot remain stationary, and be not spread in the skin, but [the sore] should be dark, it is a scar of inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the mark of the inflammation.

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

And if a man or a woman have in them a plague of leprosy in the head or 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 the priest shall look on the plague, and, behold, [if] the appearance of it be beneath the skin, and in it there be thin yellowish hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a scurf, it is a leprosy of the head or a leprosy of the beard.

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.

And if the priest should see the plague of the scurf, and, behold, the appearance of it be not beneath the skin, and there is no yellowish hair in it, then the priest shall set apart [him that has] the plague of the scurf 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 look at the plague on the seventh day; and, behold, [if] the scurf be not spread, and there be no yellowish hair on it, and the appearance of the scurf is not hollow under 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 the skin shall be shaven, but the scurf shall not be shaven; and the priest shall set aside the person having the scurf the second time for seven 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.

And the priest shall see the scurf on the seventh day; and, behold, [if] the scurf is not spread in the skin after the man's being shaved, and the appearance of the scurf is not hollow beneath the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his garments, and be clean.

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

But if the scurf be indeed spread in the skin after he has been purified,

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 shall look, and, behold, [if] the scurf be spread in the skin, the priest shall not examine concerning the yellow hair, for he 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 the scurf remain before [him] in its place, and a dark hair should have arisen in it, the scurf is healed: he is clean, 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 if a man or woman should have in the skin of their flesh spots of a bright whiteness,

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 shall look; and, behold, there [being] bright spots of a bright whiteness in the skin of their flesh, it is a tetter; it burst forth in the skin of his flesh; he is clean.

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

And if any one's head should lose the hair, he is [only] bald, he is clean.

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

And if his head should lose the hair in front, he is forehead 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.

And if there should be in his baldness of head, or his baldness of forehead, a white or fiery plague, it is leprosy in his baldness of head, or baldness of forehead.

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.

And the priest shall look upon him, and, behold, if the appearance of the plague be white or inflamed in his baldness of head or baldness in front, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of his 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.

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

And the leper in whom the plague is, let his garments be ungirt, and his head uncovered; and let him have a covering put upon his mouth, and he shall be called 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 in which the plague shall be upon him, being unclean, he shall be [esteemed] unclean; he shall dwell apart, his place of sojourn shall be without the camp.

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

And if a garment have in it the plague of leprosy, 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 the warp or in the woof, or in the linen, or in the woollen threads, or in a skin, or in any workmanship 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 plague be greenish or reddish in the skin, or in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any utensil of skin, it is a plague of leprosy, and he shall show it to the priest.

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

And the priest shall look upon the plague, and the priest shall set apart [that which has] the plague 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.

And the priest shall look upon the plague on the seventh day; and if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in the skin, in whatsoever things skins may be used in their workmanship, the plague is a confirmed leprosy; it 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 shall burn the garment, either the warp or woof in woollen garments or in flaxen, or in any utensil of skin, in which there may be the plague; because it is a confirmed leprosy; it shall be burnt with fire.

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.

And if the priest should see, and the plague be not spread in the garments, either in the warp or in the woof, 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 the priest shall give directions, and [one] shall wash that on which there may have been the plague, and the priest shall set it aside a second time for seven 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.

And the priest shall look upon it after the plague has been washed; and [if] this, even the plague, has not changed its appearance, and the plague does not spread, it is unclean; it shall be burnt with fire: it is fixed in the garment, in the warp, or in the woof.

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 should look, and the spot be dark after it has been washed, he shall tear it off from the garment, either from the warp or from the woof, or from the skin.

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 should still appear in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of skin, it is a leprosy bursting forth: that wherein is the plague shall be burnt with fire.

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.

And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or any article of skin, which shall be washed, and the plague depart from it, shall also be washed again, 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 of the plague of leprosy of a woollen or linen garment, either of the warp, or woof, or any leathern article, to pronounce it clean or unclean.
