3 Mosebog 13

1 Og HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:

Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

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.

“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 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.

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 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;

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 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;

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 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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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 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.

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

But if raw flesh appears 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.

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

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

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

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

When a person has a boil on the skin and it has healed,

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

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.

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

If it spreads widely in the skin, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious 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 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 Eller naar nogen faar et Brandsaar paa Huden, og det Kød, der vokser i Brandsaaret, frembyder en rødlighvid eller hvid Plet,

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

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.

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 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 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 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.

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 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.

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 Naar en Mand eller Kvinde angribes i Hoved eller Skæg,

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

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 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,

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 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 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 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.

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

But if the itching disease has spread widely in the skin after the priest said he was 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 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 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 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 Naar en Mand eller Kvinde faar lyse Pletter, hvide Pletter paa Huden,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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. —

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 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 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.”
