Leviticus 13
1 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron bena,
2 “When someone has a swelling or rash or bright spot on his skin that could become an infectious skin disease, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest.
“Ne ame aɖe kpɔ nutete alo dzi alo teƒe aɖe si fu le eƒe ŋutilã ŋu si ate ŋu azu ŋutilã ƒe dɔxɔleameŋu la, woakplɔe ayi nunɔla Aron alo Via ŋutsu siwo nye nunɔlawo la dometɔ ɖeka gbɔ.
3 The priest is to examine the infection on his skin, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean.
Nunɔla la alé ŋku ɖe abi si le eƒe ŋutigbalẽ ŋu la ŋu. Ne ŋutifu si le teƒea fu, eye teƒea nye ɖe eme vie la, ekema anyie. Nunɔla la atso nya me be anyidzela la ŋu mekɔ o.
4 If, however, the spot on his skin is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
Ke ne teƒe si fu kpii la menye ɖe eme vie o, eye fu si le teƒea mefu o la, ekema nunɔla la aɖee ɖe aga ŋkeke adre.
5 On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if he sees that the infection is unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must isolate him for another seven days.
Le ŋkeke adrea gbe la, nunɔla la agadoe akpɔ. Ne teƒea metrɔ o, eye megakeke ɖe edzi hã o la, ekema nunɔla la aɖee ɖe aga ŋkeke adre bubu.
6 The priest will examine him again on the seventh day, and if the sore has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a rash. The person must wash his clothes and be clean.
Nunɔla la agadoe akpɔ le ŋkeke adre evelia gbe. Ne dɔléle la dzi ka ɖe, eye teƒea megakeke ɖe edzi o la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be amea ŋuti kɔ, dzi koe ƒo ɖe eŋu. Nu si amea awɔ la koe nye wòanya eƒe awuwo, eye eƒe ŋuti akɔ,
7 But if the rash spreads further on his skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must present himself again to the priest.
gake nenye be dzi la keke ɖe edzi le eƒe ŋutigbalẽ ŋu esi wòtsɔ eɖokui fia nunɔla la be wòagblɔ be eŋuti kɔ vɔ megbe la, ele nɛ be wòagbugbɔ ayi nunɔla la gbɔ.
8 The priest will reexamine him, and if the rash has spread on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; he has a skin disease.
Eye nunɔla la agadoe kpɔ. Ne teƒea keke ɖe edzi la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti mekɔ o, kpodɔe wòdze.
9 When anyone develops a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
“Ne ame aɖe dze ŋutigbalẽdɔ si woate ŋu axɔ le ame ŋu la, woakplɔe ayi nunɔla gbɔe.
10 The priest will examine him, and if there is a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
Nunɔla la alé ŋku ɖe eŋu eye ne nutete ɣi aɖe le eƒe ŋutilã ŋu la,
11 it is a chronic skin disease and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not isolate him, for he is unclean.
ekema eme kɔ ƒãa be anyie, eye nunɔla la naɖe gbeƒã be eŋu mekɔ o. Mele be woagatu amea ɖe xɔ me be woagalé ŋku ɖe eŋu o, elabena eme kɔ ƒãa be edze dɔ la.
12 But if the skin disease breaks out all over his skin so that it covers all the skin of the infected person from head to foot, as far as the priest can see,
“Ke ne nunɔla la kpɔ be kpodɔ la xɔ ŋuti katã na amea, tso eƒe tame yi eƒe afɔ gbɔ,
13 the priest shall examine him, and if the disease has covered his entire body, he is to pronounce the infected person clean. Since it has all turned white, he is clean.
kple afi sia afi si wòakpɔ ɖa le la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti kɔ, nenye be eŋuti katã fu kpii la, ekema eŋuti kɔ le se la nu.
14 But whenever raw flesh appears on someone, he will be unclean.
Ke ne eƒe ŋutilã ƒe teƒe aɖe ƒlɔ la, ekema efia be edze kpodɔ.
15 When the priest sees the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease.
Nunɔla la agalé ŋku ɖe eŋu, eye ne ekpɔ be eƒe ŋutilã ƒe akpa aɖe ƒlɔ la, ekema aɖe gbeƒã be ame la dze kpodɔ. Ŋutilã ƒe ƒɔƒlɔ fia be amea le kpodɔ lém, eya ta eŋuti mekɔ o.
16 But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest.
Gake ne ŋutilã ƒe akpa si ƒlɔ la ɖɔ ɖo, eye wòle abe ŋutilãa ƒe akpa bubuawo ene la, ame la atrɔ ayi ɖe nunɔla la gbɔ,
17 The priest will reexamine him, and if the infection has turned white, the priest is to pronounce the infected person clean; then he is clean.
eye nunɔla la agadoe akpɔ. Nenye be teƒe ƒɔƒlɔ la ɖɔ ɖo abe ŋutilãa ƒe akpa bubuwo ene la, ekema eŋuti kɔ le se la nu, eye nunɔla la aɖe gbeƒã be eŋuti kɔ.
18 When a boil appears on someone’s skin and it heals,
“Ne ƒoƒoe ƒo ame aɖe ƒe ŋutigbalẽ, wòɖi tsi vɔ,
19 and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, he must present himself to the priest.
eye le teƒe si ƒoƒoe la ƒo nɛ nu ƒoƒoe wuliwuli aɖewo ƒo ɖi esiwo le ɣie alo le nu dzĩ kple nu ɣi dome la, ele nɛ be wòatsɔ eɖokui afia nunɔlaa.
20 The priest shall examine it, and if it appears to be beneath the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection that has broken out in the boil.
Ne nunɔla la doe kpɔ, eye wòkpɔ be dɔléle la tso keke eƒe lãme, ke eye fu si le teƒea fu kpii la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be, eŋuti mekɔ o, elabena edze kpodɔ to ƒoƒoe la teƒe.
21 But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in it, and it is not beneath the skin and has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.
Ke ne nunɔla la kpɔ be fu ɣi aɖeke mele teƒea o, eye teƒea hã menye ɖe eme o, ke teƒea le fufu kple nyɔnyɔ dome la, ekema nunɔla la aɖee ɖe aga ŋkeke adre.
22 If it spreads any further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.
Ne teƒea keke ɖe edzi le ŋkeke adre mawo me la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti mekɔ o, ezu kpodɔléla.
23 But if the spot remains unchanged and does not spread, it is only the scar from the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Ke ne teƒea mekeke ɖe edzi o la, ekema ƒoƒoe la ƒe abiteƒe koe. Nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti kɔ.
24 When there is a burn on someone’s skin and the raw area of the burn becomes reddish-white or white,
“Ne dzo me ame aɖe ƒe ŋutigbalẽ, eye emegbe teƒea biã loo alo le biabiã kple fufu dome alo fu kpii le teƒe si dzoa me na amea la,
25 the priest must examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.
ele be nunɔla la nalé ŋku ɖe teƒea ŋu. Ne fu si le teƒea fu, eye wòdze abe dɔléle la tso amea ƒe lãme ke ene la, ekema woanya be amea dze kpodɔ to dzobi la teƒe, eye nunɔla la aɖe gbeƒã be eŋuti mekɔ o, edze anyi.
26 But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the spot, and it is not beneath the skin but has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.
Ke ne nunɔla la kpɔ be fu ɣi aɖeke mele teƒea o, teƒea ƒe biabia metso amea ƒe lãme ke o, eye eƒe amadede dzi nɔ ɖeɖem kpɔtɔ la, ekema nunɔla la atui ɖe xɔ me ŋkeke adre,
27 On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if it has spread further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.
eye wòagadoe kpɔ le ŋkeke adrea gbe. Ne teƒea keke ɖe edzi la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋu mekɔ o, edze kpodɔ.
28 But if the spot is unchanged and has not spread on the skin but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest is to pronounce him clean; for it is only the scar from the burn.
Ke ne teƒe biabiã la medze le teƒe bubu aɖeke loo alo keke ɖe edzi o, eye eƒe biabiã dzi ɖe kpɔtɔ la, ekema wòanya be dzobi la ƒe abiteƒe koe. Ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti kɔ, dzobi la teƒe koe ɖi atse.
29 If a man or woman has an infection on the head or chin,
“Ne ŋutsu alo nyɔnu aɖe dze abi ɖe ta alo glã la,
30 the priest shall examine the infection, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin and the hair in it is yellow and thin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a scaly outbreak, an infectious disease of the head or chin.
nunɔla alé ŋku ɖe abi la ŋu. Ne abi la teƒe dze abe ɖe wòde eme wu amea ƒe ŋutilã, ɖa si le afi ma ƒe amadede le abe aŋutiɖiɖi ene, eye wòle belie la, nunɔla la aɖe gbeƒã be amea ŋuti mekɔ o; enye ta alo glã ƒe dɔléle.
31 But if the priest examines the scaly infection and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
Ke ne nunɔla la kpɔ be ŋutigbalẽ la ŋuti ko abi la dzɔ tso, eye ɖa yibɔ le abia me la, ekema atui ɖe xɔ me ŋkeke adre,
32 On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine the infection, and if the scaly outbreak has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin,
eye wòagadoe kpɔ le ŋkeke adrea gbe. Ne teƒe la mekeke ɖe edzi o, ne fu si le afi ma ƒe amadede meɖi aŋuti ɖiɖi tɔ o, eye ne medze be dɔléle aɖee tso eƒe lãme ke o la,
33 then the person must shave himself except for the scaly area. Then the priest shall isolate him for another seven days.
ekema nunɔla la aƒlɔ ɖa, aƒo xlã teƒe la, ke menye le teƒea ŋutɔ o. Nunɔla la agatui ɖe xɔ me ŋkeke adre bubu,
34 On the seventh day the priest shall examine the scaly outbreak, and if it has not spread on the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest is to pronounce him clean. He must wash his clothes, and he will be clean.
eye wòagadoe kpɔ le ŋkeke adrea gbe. Ne teƒe la mekeke ɖe edzi o, eye medze abe dɔléle la tso ŋutigbalẽ la te o ene la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be medze kpodɔ o. Ekema ne enya eƒe awuwo ko la, eŋuti kɔ.
35 If, however, the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing,
Ke ne teƒe la de asi keke me ɖe edzi emegbe la,
36 the priest is to examine him, and if the scaly outbreak has spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellow hair; the person is unclean.
ekema nunɔla la agadoe kpɔ, eye magalala be yeakpɔ be ɖa ƒe amadede trɔ ɖi aŋuti ɖiɖi hafi wòatso nya me be amea dze kpodɔ o.
37 If, however, in his sight the scaly outbreak is unchanged and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. He is clean, and the priest is to pronounce him clean.
Gake ne edze be teƒe la megale kekem ɖe edzi o, eye ɖa yibɔ le teƒea la, ekema dɔléle la nu tso, amea menye kpodɔléla o, eya ta nunɔla la atso nya me be eƒe ŋuti kɔ.
38 When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
“Ne ŋutsu aɖe alo nyɔnu aɖe ƒe ŋutilã ƒe akpa aɖewo fu kpii,
39 the priest shall examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.
eye teƒe la ƒe fufu dzi le ɖeɖem kpɔtɔ la, ekema amea medze anyi o, ke boŋ dɔléle aɖe koe ƒo ɖe eŋu.
40 Now if a man loses his hair and is bald, he is still clean.
“Womatsɔ ame aɖeke ƒe ɖa ƒe bebe le ta nɛ abe anyidzedze ene o!
41 Or if his hairline recedes and he is bald on his forehead, he is still clean.
Ne ɖa vɔ le ame aɖe ƒe ŋgonu la, ekema amea ƒe ŋgoe kpã: esia menye anyidzedze o.
42 But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on it.
Ke ne teƒe aɖe le biabiã kple fufu dome le ta kpakpã la teƒe la, ekema anye kpodɔ dzem wòle.
43 The priest is to examine him, and if the swelling of the infection on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white like a skin disease,
Ekema nunɔla la adoe akpɔ. Ne teƒe la le kpokploo, mebiã tututu o, eye mefu tututu abe kpodɔ ƒe dzesi ene o hã la,
44 the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head.
ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be amea dze kpodɔ.
45 A diseased person must wear torn clothes and let his hair hang loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’
“Ele na ame si wokpɔ be edze kpodɔ la be wòadze eƒe awuwo, ana eƒe taɖa nato ʋutuu, wòatsyɔ nu eƒe nuyi dziƒotɔ dzi, eye wòanɔ yiyim anɔ ɣli dom be, ‘Nye ŋuti mekɔ o, nye ŋuti mekɔ o!’
46 As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.
Ŋkeke ale si dɔléle la le eŋu ko la, eŋuti mekɔ o. Ele be wòanɔ asaɖa la godo.”
47 If any fabric is contaminated with mildew —any wool or linen garment,
“Ne nane dze le nudodo alo nutata aɖe me, eɖanye lãfu tɔ alo ɖeti tɔ,
48 any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather—
alo nu si wolɔ̃ kple ɖeti alo lãfu,
49 and if the mark in the fabric, leather, weave, knit, or leather article is green or red, then it is contaminated with mildew and must be shown to the priest.
eye aŋgbamu alo ama dzĩ teƒe aɖe le eme la, anye kpodɔ. Ekema woatsɔ nu la ayi na nunɔla wòadoe akpɔ.
50 And the priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the contaminated fabric for seven days.
Nunɔla la atsɔ nu la adzra ɖo ŋkeke adre,
51 On the seventh day the priest shall reexamine it, and if the mildew has spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather, then regardless of how it is used, it is a harmful mildew; the article is unclean.
eye wòagalé ŋku ɖe eŋu le ŋkeke adrea gbe. Ne teƒe la keke ɖe edzi la, ekema kpodɔ si woate ŋu axɔ lae.
52 He is to burn the fabric, weave, or knit, whether the contaminated item is wool or linen or leather. Since the mildew is harmful, the article must be burned up.
Ekema ele be nunɔla la natɔ dzo awu la, avɔ la alo nu si wolɔ̃ kple lãfu, ɖeti alo lãgbalẽ la, elabena woate ŋu axɔ kpodɔ la, eya ta ele be woatɔ dzoe.
53 But when the priest reexamines it, if the mildew has not spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather article,
“Ke ne nunɔla la lé ŋku ɖe eŋu le ŋkeke adrea gbe, eye wòkpɔ be teƒe la mekeke ɖe edzi o la,
54 the priest is to order the contaminated article to be washed and isolated for another seven days.
ekema ana woanya alo aklɔ nu la, eye wòatsɔe adzra ɖo ŋkeke adre.
55 After it has been washed, the priest is to reexamine it, and if the mildewed article has not changed in appearance, it is unclean. Even though the mildew has not spread, you must burn it, whether the rot is on the front or back.
Le ŋkeke adrea megbe, ne teƒe la ƒe amadede metrɔ o, togbɔ be teƒe la mekeke ɖe edzi o hã la, efia be kpodɔe, eya ta ele be woatɔ dzoe, elabena kpodɔ le eme.
56 If the priest examines it and the mildew has faded after it has been washed, he must cut the contaminated section out of the fabric, leather, weave, or knit.
Ne nunɔla la kpɔ be teƒe la ƒe amadede klo le nua nyanya megbe la, ekema alã teƒe la ɖa le avɔ la, lãgbalẽnu alo nu lɔlɔ̃ la me.
57 But if it reappears in the fabric, weave, or knit, or on any leather article, it is spreading. You must burn the contaminated article.
Ke ne wogakpɔ dzesi ma le nu lɔlɔ̃a me la, ekema kpodɔe: ele be nunɔla la natɔ dzoe.
58 If the mildew disappears from the fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article after washing, then it is to be washed again, and it will be clean.
Ke ne dzesi ma megadze le nu lɔlɔ̃a nyanya vɔ megbe o la, woaganyae, eye woagate ŋu awɔ eŋu dɔ azɔ.”
59 This is the law concerning a mildew contamination in wool or linen fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article, for pronouncing it clean or unclean.”
Esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe kpodɔ ƒe avɔ si wolɔ̃ kple lãfu alo ɖeti me nɔnɔ ŋuti. Wofia ale si woawɔ aka ɖe edzi be kpodɔléle la le eme loo alo mele eme o.
