3 Mosebog 13

1 Og HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

2 Naar der paa et Menneskes Hud viser sig en Hævelse eller Udslæt eller en lys Plet, som kan blive til Spedalskhed paa hans Hud, skal han føres hen til Præsten Aron eller en af hans Sønner, Præsterne.

If a man has on his skin a growth or a mark or a white place, and it becomes the disease of a leper, let him be taken to Aaron the priest, or to one of the priests, his sons;

3 Præsten skal da syne det syge Sted paa Huden, og naar Haarene paa det syge Sted er blevet hvide og Stedet ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom, saa er det Spedalskhed, og saa skal Præsten efter at have synet ham erklære ham for uren.

And if, when the priest sees the mark on his skin, the hair on the place is turned white and the mark seems to go deeper than the skin, it is the mark of a leper: and the priest, after looking at him, will say that he is unclean.

4 Men hvis det er en hvid Plet paa Huden og den ikke ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom og Haarene ikke er blevet hvide, saa skal Præsten lukke den angrebne inde i syv Dage;

But if the mark on his skin is white, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is not turned white, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days;

5 og paa den syvende Dag skal Præsten syne ham. Viser det sig da, at Ondet ikke har skiftet Udseende eller bredt sig paa Huden, skal Præsten igen lukke ham inde i syv Dage;

And the priest is to see him on the seventh day; and if, in his opinion, the place on his skin has not become worse and is not increased in size, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days more:

6 og paa den syvende Dag skal Præsten atter syne ham. Hvis det da viser sig, at Ondet er ved at svinde, og at det ikke har bredt sig paa Huden, skal Præsten erklære ham for ren; da er det almindeligt Udslæt paa Huden; han skal da tvætte sine Klæder og være ren.

And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; and if the mark is less bright and is not increased on his skin, then let the priest say that he is clean: it is only a skin-mark, and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean.

7 Men hvis Udslættet breder sig paa Huden, efter at han har ladet Præsten syne sig for at blive erklæret for ren, og hvis Præsten, naar han anden Gang lader sig syne af ham,

But if the size of the mark on his skin is increased after he has been seen by the priest, let him go to the priest again:

8 ser, at Udslættet har bredt sig paa Huden, saa skal Præsten erklære ham for uren; det er Spedalskhed.

And if, after looking at him, he sees that the mark is increased in his skin, let the priest say that he is unclean; he is a leper.

9 Naar et Menneske angribes af Spedalskhed, skal han føres hen til Præsten,

When the disease of a leper is seen on a man, let him be taken to the priest;

10 og Præsten skal syne ham; og naar der da viser sig at være en hvid Hævelse paa Huden og Haarene derpaa er blevet hvide og der vokser vildt Kød i Hævelsen,

And if the priest sees that there is a white growth on the skin, and the hair is turned white, and there is diseased flesh in the growth,

11 saa er det gammel Spedalskhed paa hans Hud, og da skal Præsten erklære ham for uren; han behøver ikke at lukke ham inde, thi han er uren.

It is an old disease in the skin of his flesh, and the priest will say that he is unclean; he will not have to be shut up, for he is clearly unclean.

12 Men hvis Spedalskheden bryder ud paa Huden og Spedalskheden bedækker hele den angrebnes Hud fra Top til Taa, saa vidt Præsten kan se,

And if the disease comes out all over his skin, from his head to his feet, as far as the priest is able to see,

13 og Præsten ser, at Spedalskheden bedækker hele hans Legeme, saa skal han erklære den angrebne for ren; han er blevet helt hvid, han er ren.

And if the priest sees that all his flesh is covered with the leper's disease, the priest will say that he is clean: it is all turned white, he is clean.

14 Men saa snart der viser sig vildt Kød paa ham, er han uren;

But whenever diseased flesh is seen on him, he will be unclean.

15 og naar Præsten ser det vilde Kød, skal han erklære ham for uren; det vilde Kød er urent, det er Spedalskhed.

And when the priest sees the diseased flesh he will say that he is unclean; the diseased flesh is unclean, he is a leper.

16 Hvis derimod det vilde Kød forsvinder og han bliver hvid, skal han gaa til Præsten;

Or if the diseased flesh is turned again and changed to white then he is to come to the priest,

17 og hvis det, naar Præsten syner ham, viser sig, at den angrebne er blevet hvid, skal Præsten erklære den angrebne for ren; han er ren.

And the priest will see him: and if the place is turned white, then the priest will say that he is free from the disease.

18 Naar nogen paa sin Hud har haft en Betændelse, som er lægt,

And if a bad place has come out on the skin and is well again,

19 og der saa paa det Sted, som var betændt, kommer en hvid Hævelse eller en rødlighvid Plet, skal han lad sig syne af Præsten;

And on the same place there is a white growth of a bright mark, red and white, then let the priest see it;

20 og hvis Præsten finder, at Stedet ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom og Haarene derpaa er blevet hvide, skal Præsten erklære ham for uren; det er Spedalskhed, der er brudt frem efter Betændelsen.

And after looking at it, if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is turned white, then the priest will say that the man is unclean: it is the leper's disease, it has come out in the bad place.

21 Men hvis der, naar Præsten syner det, ikke viser sig at være hvide Haar derpaa og det ikke ligger dybere end Huden udenom, men er ved at svinde, da skal Præsten lukke ham inde i syv Dage;

But if, after looking at it, he sees that there are no white hairs on it, and it is not deeper than the skin, and it is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

22 og naar det da breder sig paa Huden, skal Præsten erklære ham for uren; det er Spedalskhed.

And if it is increasing on the skin, the priest will say that he is unclean: it is a disease.

23 Men hvis den hvide Plet bliver, som den er, uden at brede sig, da er det et Ar efter Betændelsen, og Præsten skal erklære ham for ren.

But if the bright mark keeps in the same place and gets no greater, it is the mark of the old wound, and the priest will say that he is clean.

24 Eller naar nogen faar et Brandsaar paa Huden, og det Kød, der vokser i Brandsaaret, frembyder en rødlighvid eller hvid Plet,

Or if there is a burn on the skin of the flesh, and if the diseased flesh in the burn becomes a bright place, red and white or white,

25 saa skal Præsten syne ham, og hvis det da viser sig, at Haarene paa Pletten er blevet hvide og den ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom, saa er det Spedalskhed, der er brudt frem i Brandsaaret; og da skal Præsten erklære ham for uren; det er Spedalskhed.

The priest is to see it: and if the hair on the bright place is turned white and it seems to go deeper than the skin, he is a leper: it has come out in the burn, and the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

26 Men hvis det, naar Præsten synet ham, viser sig, at der ingen hvide Haar er paa den lyse Plet, og at en ikke ligger dybere end Huden udenom, men at den er ved at svinde, saa skal Præsten lukke ham inde i syv Dage;

But if, after looking at it, the priest sees that there is no white hair on the bright place, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

27 og paa den syvende Dag skal Præsten syne ham, og naar den da har bredt sig paa Huden, skal Præsten erklære ham for uren; det er Spedalskhed.

And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; if it is increased in the skin, then the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

28 Men hvis den lyse Plet bliver, som den er, uden at brede sig paa Huden, og er ved at svinde, saa er det en Hævelse efter Brandsaaret, og da skal Præsten erklære ham for ren; thi det er et Ar efter Brandsaaret.

And if the bright place keeps the same size and gets no greater on the skin, but is less bright, it is the effect of the burn, and the priest will say that he is clean: it is the mark of the burn.

29 Naar en Mand eller Kvinde angribes i Hoved eller Skæg,

And when a man or a woman has a disease on the head, or in the hair of the chin,

30 skal Præsten syne det syge Sted, og hvis det da ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom og der er guldgule, tynde Haar derpaa, saa skal Præsten erklære ham for uren; det er Skurv, Spedalskhed i Hoved eller Skæg.

Then the priest is to see the diseased place: and if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and if there is thin yellow hair in it, then the priest will say that he is unclean: he has the mark of the leper's disease on his head or in the hair of his chin.

31 Men hvis det skurvede Sted, naar Præsten syner det, ikke ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom, uden at dog Haarene derpaa er sorte, da skal Præsten lukke den skurvede inde i syv Dage;

And after looking at the diseased place, if it does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest will have him shut up for seven days:

32 og paa den syvende Dag skal Præsten syne ham, og hvis da Skurven ikke har bredt sig og der ikke er kommet guldgule Haar derpaa og Skurven ikke ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom,

And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not seem to go deeper than the skin,

33 da skal den angrebne lade sig rage uden dog at lade det skurvede Sted rage; saa skal Præsten igen lukke den skurvede inde i syv Dage.

Then his hair is to be cut off, but not on the diseased place, and he is to be shut up for seven days more:

34 Paa den syvende Dag skal Præsten syne Skurven, og hvis det da viser sig, at Skurven ikke har bredt sig paa Huden, og at den ikke ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom, saa skal Præsten erklære ham for ren; da skal han tvætte sine Klæder og være ren.

And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, the priest will say that he is clean: and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean.

35 Men hvis Skurven breder sig paa Huden, efter at han er erklæret for ren,

But if the disease in his skin becomes worse after he has been made clean,

36 da skal Præsten syne ham; og hvis det saa viser sig, at Skurven har bredt sig, behøver Præsten ikke at undersøge, om der er guldgule Haar; han er uren.

Then the priest is to see him: and if the mark is increased, the priest, without looking for the yellow hair, will say that he is unclean.

37 Men hvis Skurven ikke har skiftet Udseende og der er vokset sorte Haar frem derpaa, da er Skurven lægt; han er ren, og Præsten skal erklære ham for ren.

But if, in his opinion, the growth is stopped, and black hair has come up on it, the disease has gone; he is clean and the priest will say that he is clean.

38 Naar en Mand eller Kvinde faar lyse Pletter, hvide Pletter paa Huden,

And if a man or a woman has bright marks on the skin of their flesh, that is, bright white marks,

39 skal Præsten syne dem; og hvis der da paa deres Hud viser sig hvide Pletter, det er ved at svinde, er det Blegner, der er brudt ud paa Huden; han er ren.

Then the priest is to see them: and if the white marks on their skin are not very bright, it is a skin disease which has come out on the skin; he is clean.

40 Naar nogen bliver skaldet paa Baghovedet, saa er han kun isseskaldet; han er ren.

And if a man's hair has come out and he has no hair, still he is clean.

41 Og hvis han bliver skaldet ved Panden og Tindingerne, saa er han kun pandeskaldet; han er ren.

And if the hair has gone from the front part of his head, so that he has no hair there, still he is clean.

42 Men kommer der paa hans skaldede Isse eller Pande et rødlighvidt Sted, er det Spedalskhed, der bryder frem paa hans skaldede Isse eller Pande.

But if, on his head or on his brow, where he has no hair, there is a red and white place, it is the disease of the leper coming out on his head or on his brow.

43 Saa skal Præsten syne ham, og viser det sig da, at Hævelsen paa det syge Sted paa hans skaldede Isse eller Pande er rødlighvid, af samme Udseende som Spedalskhed paa Huden,

Then if the priest sees that the growth of the disease has become red and white on his head or on his brow where there is no hair, like the mark in the skin of a leper;

44 saa er han spedalsk; han er uren, og Præsten skal erklære ham for uren; paa sit Hoved er han angrebet.

He is a leper and unclean; the priest is to say that he is most certainly unclean: the disease is in his head.

45 Den, der er spedalsk, den, som lider af Sygdommen, skal gaa med sønderrevne Klæder, hans Haar skal vokse frit, han skal tilhylle sit Skæg, og: »uren, uren!« skal han raabe.

And the leper who has the disease on him is to go about with signs of grief, with his hair loose and his mouth covered, crying, Unclean, unclean.

46 Saa længe han er angrebet, skal han være uren; uren er han, for sig selv skal han bo, uden for Lejren skal hans Opholdssted være.

While the disease is on him, he will be unclean. He is unclean: let him keep by himself, living outside the tent-circle.

47 Naar der kommer Spedalskhed paa en Klædning enten af Uld eller Lærred

And any clothing of wool or of linen in which is the mark of the disease;

48 eller paa vævet eller knyttet Stof af Lærred eller Uld eller paa Læder eller Læderting af enhver Art

If it is in the threads of the linen or of the wool, or in leather, or in anything made of skin;

49 og det angrebne Sted paa Klædningen, Læderet, det vævede eller knyttede Stof eller Lædertingene viser sig at være grønligt eller rødligt, saa er det Spedalskhed og skal synes af Præsten.

If there are red or green marks on the clothing, or on the leather, or in the threads of the cloth, or in anything made of skin, it is the leper's disease: let the priest see it.

50 Og naar Præsten har synet Skaden, skal han lukke den angrebne Ting inde i syv Dage.

And after it has been seen by the priest, the thing which is so marked is to be shut up for seven days:

51 Paa den syvende Dag skal han syne den angrebne Ting, og dersom Skaden har bredt sig paa Klædningen, det vævede eller knyttede Stof eller Læderet, de forskellige Læderting, saa er Skaden ondartet Spedalskhed, det er urent.

And he is to see the mark on the seventh day; if the mark is increased in the clothing, or in the threads of the material, or in the leather, whatever the leather is used for, it is the disease biting into it: it is unclean.

52 Da skal han brænde Klædningen eller det af Uld eller Lærred vævede eller knyttede Stof eller alle de Læderting, som er angrebet; thi det er ondartet Spedalskhed, det skal opbrændes.

And the clothing, or the wool or linen material, or anything of leather in which is the disease, is to be burned: for the disease is biting into it; let it be burned in the fire.

53 Men hvis Præsten finder, at Skaden ikke har bredt sig paa Klædningen eller det vævede eller knyttede Stof eller paa de forskellige Slags Læderting,

And if the priest sees that the mark is not increased in the clothing or in any part of the material or in the leather,

54 saa skal Præsten paabyde, at den angrebne Ting skal tvættes, og derpaa igen lukke den inde i syv Dage.

Then the priest will give orders for the thing on which the mark is, to be washed, and to be shut up for seven days more:

55 Præsten skal da syne den angrebne Ting, efter at den er tvættet, og viser det sig da, at Skaden ikke har skiftet Udseende, saa er den uren, selv om Skaden ikke har bredt sig; du skal opbrænde den; det er ædende Udslæt paa Retten eller Vrangen.

And if, after the mark has been washed, the priest sees that the colour of it is not changed and it is not increased, it is to be burned in the fire: the disease is working in it, though the damage may be inside or outside.

56 Men hvis det, naar Præsten syner det, viser sig, at Skaden er ved at svinde efter Tvætningen, saa skal han rive det angrebne Sted af Klædningen eller Læderet eller det vævede eller knyttede Stof.

And if the priest sees that the mark is less bright after the washing, then let him have it cut out of the clothing or the leather or from the threads of the material:

57 Viser det sig da igen paa Klædningen eller det vævede eller knyttede Stof eller de forskellige Læderting, da er det Spedalskhed, der er ved at bryde ud; du skal opbrænde de angrebne Ting.

And if the mark is still seen in the clothing or in the threads of the material or in the leather, it is the disease coming out: the thing in which the disease is will have to be burned with fire.

58 Men den Klædning eller det vævede eller knyttede Stof eller de forskellige Læderting, hvis Skade svinder efter Tvætningen, skal tvættes paa ny; saa er det rent. —

And the material of the clothing, or anything of skin, which has been washed, if the mark has gone out of it, let it be washed a second time and it will be clean.

59 Det er Loven om Spedalskhed paa Klæder af Uld eller Lærred eller paa vævet eller knyttet Stof eller paa alskens Læderting; efter den skal de erklæres for rene eller urene.

This is the law about the leper's disease in the thread of wool or linen material, in clothing or in anything of skin, saying how it is to be judged clean or unclean.
