Leviticus 13
1 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni isithi:
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.
Umuntu, nxa kukhona esikhumbeni senyama yakhe ithumba loba uqweqwe loba ibala elikhanyayo, njalo esikhumbeni senyama yakhe kube njengesifo sobulephero, khona ezalethwa kuAroni umpristi kumbe kwenye yamadodana akhe angabapristi.
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.
Umpristi uzakhangela-ke isifo esikhumbeni senyama; uba uboya esifweni sebuphenduke baba mhlophe, lokubonakala kwesifo sekutshone kulesikhumba senyama yakhe, kuyisifo sobulephero. Umpristi esemkhangele uzakutsho ukuthi ungcolile.
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.
Kodwa uba ibala elikhanyayo esikhumbeni senyama yakhe limhlophe, lokubonakala kwalo kungatshoni kulesikhumba, loboya balo bungaphendukanga baba mhlophe, umpristi uzamvalela olesifo insuku eziyisikhombisa.
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.
Umpristi uzamkhangela-ke ngosuku lwesikhombisa; uba, khangela, isifo sisemi emehlweni akhe, isifo singaqhelanga esikhumbeni, umpristi uzamvalela ezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa.
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.
Umpristi uzabuya-ke amkhangele ngosuku lwesikhombisa; uba, khangela, isifo sifiphele, lesifo singaqhelanga esikhumbeni, umpristi uzakutsho ukuthi uhlambulukile; luqweqwe. Njalo uzahlamba izembatho zakhe, ahlambuluke.
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.
Kodwa uba uqweqwe luqhela kakhulu esikhumbeni emva kokubonakaliswa kwakhe kumpristi ngokuhlanjululwa kwakhe, uzabonakaliswa kumpristi futhi.
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.
Uba umpristi ebona ukuthi, khangela, uqweqwe luyaqhela esikhumbeni, umpristi uzakutsho ukuthi ungcolile; kuyibulephero.
9 When anyone develops a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
Isifo sobulephero, uba sisemuntwini, uzalethwa kumpristi.
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,
Njalo umpristi uzabona, khangela-ke, kukhona ithumba elimhlophe esikhumbeni, seliphendule uboya baba mhlophe, futhi kulenyama entsha ephilayo ethunjeni,
11 it is a chronic skin disease and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not isolate him, for he is unclean.
kuyibulephero obudala esikhumbeni senyama yakhe; umpristi uzakutsho-ke ukuthi ungcolile, angamvaleli ngoba engcolile.
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,
Uba-ke ubulephero buqhela kakhulu esikhumbeni, lobulephero bugubuzela isikhumba sonke salowo olesifo, kusukela ekhanda lakhe kuze kufike lenyaweni zakhe, njengokubona konke kwamehlo ompristi,
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.
umpristi uzabona, khangela-ke, ubulephero bugubuzele inyama yonke yakhe, uzakutsho ukuthi olesifo uhlambulukile; konke kuphendukile kwaba mhlophe; uhlambulukile.
14 But whenever raw flesh appears on someone, he will be unclean.
Kodwa mhla kubonakala kuye inyama ebomvu, uzakuba ngongcolileyo.
15 When the priest sees the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease.
Lapho umpristi esebone inyama ebomvu, uzakutsho ukuthi ungcolile; inyama ebomvu ingcolile, iyibulephero.
16 But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest.
Kumbe uba inyama ebomvu ibuye iphenduke ibe mhlophe, uzakuya kumpristi.
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.
Lapho umpristi esembonile ukuthi, khangela, isifo sesiphenduke saba mhlophe, umpristi uzakutsho ukuthi uhlambulukile olesifo; uhlambulukile.
18 When a boil appears on someone’s skin and it heals,
Inyama layo, nxa kukhona kuyo, esikhumbeni sayo, ithumba, selipholile,
19 and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, he must present himself to the priest.

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.
Uba umpristi ezabona ukuthi, khangela, ukubonakala kwakho kutshone kulesikhumba, loboya bakho sebuphenduke baba mhlophe, umpristi uzakutsho ukuthi ungcolile; kuyisifo sobulephero, siphume ethunjeni.
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.
Kodwa uba umpristi ezakubona ukuthi, khangela, kakulaboya obumhlophe kukho, lokuthi kakutshonanga kulesikhumba, kodwa kufiphele, umpristi uzamvalela insuku eziyisikhombisa.
22 If it spreads any further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.
Uba-ke kuqhela kakhulu esikhumbeni, umpristi atsho ukuthi ungcolile, kuyisifo.
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.
Kodwa uba ibala elikhanyayo limi endaweni yalo, lingaqheli, kuyisibavu sethumba; umpristi uzakutsho-ke ukuthi uhlambulukile.

Kodwa uba umpristi ebona ukuthi, khangela, isifo sifiphele emva kokuwatshwa kwaso, uzasidabula esembathweni, loba esikhumbeni, loba ezintanjeni eziqondileyo, kumbe ezintanjeni eziqumayo.

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.”
Lo ngumlayo wesifo sobulephero wesembatho soboya bezimvu kumbe selembu elicolekileyo, loba izintambo eziqondileyo loba izintambo eziqumayo, kumbe loba yiyiphi into yesikhumba, ukutsho ukuthi kuhlambulukile kumbe ukutsho ukuthi kungcolile.
