Bawknae 13
1 BAWIPA ni Mosi hoi Aron koe bout a dei e teh,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 Tami ni a vuen dawk hluetkaco e thoseh, takpatha nakunghai thoseh, bahlaw thoseh, hrikbei mitnoutnae kamnuek pawiteh, hote tami hah vaihma Aron koe thoseh, a capa vaihma buetbuet touh koe thoseh, a thokhai han.
“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 Vaihma ni hote tami e a vuen dawk e patawnae a khet vaiteh, patawnae dawk e a muen pangaw pawiteh patawnae teh vuen thung tak dawk ka phat e patetlah awm pawiteh ka hrikbei e doeh. Vaihma ni hote tami a khet hnukkhu, thoung hoeh telah a pouk han.
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 Bahlaw teh pangaw pawiteh vuen thung ka phat e mahoeh. Muen pangaw hoehpawiteh vaihma ni ka pataw e tami hah hnin sari touh a paung han.
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 Asari hnin vaihma ni a khet navah a vuen dawk e patawnae kampai hoehpawiteh hnin sari touh bout a paung han.
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 Asari hnin bout a khet navah ama paroup ni teh meimei tamang pawiteh hote tami teh a thoung telah vaihma ni a pathang han. Ka pathak rumram e lah doeh ao. Amae khohna a pâsu vaiteh kathounge lah ao.
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 Thoung sak hanelah vaihma ni a khet hnukkhu, ka pathak e hoehoe lui pawiteh,
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 Hote tami teh kathounghoehe lah a pathang vaiteh ka hrikbei e tami lah a khoe han.
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 Ka hrikbei e tami hah vaihma koe a ceikhai awh han.
When an infectious skin disease is in someone, then he must be brought to the priest.
10 Vaihma ni a khet navah, a vuen dawk ka pâphu ni teh a muen pangaw pawiteh, pâphu e dawk cawcawyu pawiteh,
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 Hrikbei karuem e doeh. Kathounghoehe tami telah vaihma ni a pouk vaiteh a paung han.
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 Ka hrikbei e tami teh atak buemlah a lû koehoi a khok koe totouh, vaihma ni a khet navah hrikbei kingkawi pawiteh,
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 Hot patet e atak dawk king kakawi e tami teh a thoung telah vaihma ni a pathang han. atak buemlah koung a pangaw dawkvah ahni teh a thoung.
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 Hateiteh, atak dawk cawcawyu pawiteh thoung hoeh.
But if raw flesh appears on him, he will be unclean.
15 Vaihma ni atak dawk cawcawyu e a khet navah, hote tami teh kathounghoehe lah a pathang han. Atak dawk cawcaw ka yu e tami teh thoung hoeh, ka hrikbei katang e doeh.
The priest must look at the raw flesh and pronounce him unclean because the raw flesh is unclean. It is an infectious disease.
16 Cawcaw ka yu e atak kâthung lah bout pangaw pawiteh vaihma koe bout a thokhai han.
But if the raw flesh turns white again, then the person must go to the priest.
17 Vaihma ni a khet navah patawnae bout pangaw e hah hmawt pawiteh vaihma ni a thoung telah a pathang vaiteh, ahni teh a thoung toe.
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 Vuen dawk âhlut ao teh a dam hnukkhu,
When a person has a boil on the skin and it has healed,
19 Âhlut a onae a hmâ pangaw dawk a phing nakunghai thoseh, pangawpanang e hrikbei patetlah kamnuek pawiteh, vaihma ni a khet vaiteh,
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 Vuen thung lah a pha teh a muen pangaw pawiteh hote tami teh vaihma ni thoung hoeh telah a pathang han. Âhlut koehoi ka hrikbei e lah ao.
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 Vaihma ni a khet navah a muen ka pangaw e awm hoeh, vuen thung lah phat hoeh, meimei tamang pawiteh vaihma ni hote tami hah hnin sari touh a paung han.
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 Vuen dawk hmâ hoehoe len pawiteh hote tami teh vaihma ni thoung hoeh telah a pathang han. Hote tami teh ka hrikbei e doeh.
If it spreads widely in the skin, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease.
23 Hateiteh, kâlum e kampuen hoeh, kampai hoehpawiteh âhlut hmâ doeh. Hote tami teh a thoung telah a pathang han.
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 Tak dawk vuen hmai a kak teh hmaikakhma cawcaw ka yu e dawk ka paling pangaw lah awm pawiteh,
When the skin has a burn and the raw flesh of the burn has become a reddish-white or white spot,
25 Vaihma ni a khet han. A hmâ dawk e muen a pangaw teh vuen thung ka phat e patetlah awm pawiteh hmai kak dawk hoi ka tho e hrikbei doeh. Hote tami teh thoung hoeh telah vaihma ni a pathang han. Hrikbei patawnae doeh.
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 Vaihma ni a khet navah a hmâ dawk a muen pangaw e awm hoeh, vuen thung phat hoeh, meimei tamang pawiteh vaihma ni hote tami teh hnin sari touh thung a paung han.
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 Apa sari hnin vaihma ni a khet navah, vuen dawk e hmâ hoe kampai pawiteh, hote tami teh thoung hoeh, hrikbei ka pataw e doeh telah vaihma ni a pathang han.
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 Hateiteh, vuen dawk kâlum e kampuen hoeh, kampai hoeh, meimei tamang pawiteh hmaikakhma karado e doeh. Hote tami teh vaihma ni a thoung telah a pathang han. Hmaikak hmâ rumram doeh.
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 Napui hoehpawiteh tongpa ni lû dawk thoseh, pâkha dawk thoseh, patawnae tawn pawiteh,
If a man or woman has an infectious disease on the head or chin,
30 Vaihma ni a khet navah, vuen thung ka phat e lah ao teh a muen hai ka samenpanang lah awm pawiteh hote tami teh thoung hoeh telah vaihma ni a pathang han. Lû dawk e hai thoseh, pâkha dawk e hai thoseh raipha patawnae doeh.
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 Vaihma ni hote patawnae a khet navah, vuen thung lah ka phat e lah awm hoeh, a muen hai tamang hoehpawiteh, hote patawnae ka tawn e tami hah vaihma ni hnin sari touh a paung han.
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 sari hnin vaihma ni a khet navah, a hmâ kampai hoeh, a muen hai samen hoeh, vuen thung lah phat hoeh pawiteh,
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 Hote tami e muen a ngaw pouh han. Hma dawk e muen teh ngaw pouh mahoeh. Hnin sari touh bout a paung han.
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 sari hnin vaihma ni a khet navah, vuen dawk e hmâ kampai hoeh, vuen thung lah hai phat hoehpawiteh vaihma ni a thoung telah a pathang han. Amae khohna hah a pâsu vaiteh ahni teh kathounge lah ao han.
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 a thoung toe telah a pathang hnukkhu, raipha patawnae bout kampai pawiteh,
But if the itching disease has spread widely in the skin after the priest said he was clean,
36 Vaihma ni bout a khet vaiteh patawnae hoe kampai katang pawiteh vaihma ni a muen ka samen e tawng mahoeh toe.
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 Hote tami teh thoung hoeh. Hatei, raipha hah ama paroup lah a hmu teh a muen ka tamang e tâcawt pawiteh raipha a kahma teh, hote tami teh kathounge lah ao toung dawkvah, vaihma ni hote tami hah a thoung toe telah a pathang han.
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 Napui hai thoseh, tongpa hai thoseh a vuen dawk bahlaw awm pawiteh,
If a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
39 Vaihma ni a khet navah phouhou e awm pawiteh a vuen dawk e bahlaw doeh. Hote tami teh a thoung.
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 Sam ka sarut e tami teh a lû luengpalueng nakunghai thoseh a thoung.
If a man's hair has fallen out of his head, he is bald, but he is clean.
41 Tampa sam ka sarut e tami teh a tampanga nakunghai a thoung.
If his hair has fallen out of the front part of his head, and if his forehead is bald, he is clean.
42 A lû luengpalueng e thoseh, tampa ka nga e thoseh, ka pangaw ka paling tâcawt pawiteh, hote bahlaw teh hrikbei doeh.
But if there is a reddish-white sore on his bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease that has broken out.
43 Hat toteh, vaihma ni a khet vaiteh a vuen dawk hrikbei patetlah kamnuek pawiteh a nganae koe bahlaw pangaw paling lah tâcawt pawiteh,
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 Hote tami teh thoung hoeh. Hrikbei patawnae ka tawn e doeh. Lû dawk patawnae a tâco dawk thoung hoeh telah a pathang han.
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.

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 Hote tami teh pou kathounghoehe, kakhin e tami lah ao. Kathounghoehe tami lah ao toung dawkvah rim hloilah ao han.

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.

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.
