Leviticus 13
1 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
Yahvé habló a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:
2 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;
“Cuando uno tuviere en la piel de su carne tumor, pústula o mancha reluciente que podría resultar ser llaga de lepra en la piel de su carne, será llevado al sacerdote Aarón o a uno de sus hijos, los sacerdotes.
3 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.
El sacerdote examinará la llaga en la piel de la carne; y si el pelo de la llaga se ha vuelto blanco, y la llaga parece más hundida que la piel de su carne, es llaga de lepra, y el sacerdote que le haya examinado le declarará impuro.
4 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;
Mas si hay en la piel de su carne una mancha blanca sin que parezca más hundida que la piel, y sin que el pelo se haya vuelto blanco, el sacerdote recluirá al hombre afectado durante siete días.
5 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:
Al día séptimo lo revisará el sacerdote, y si a su parecer la llaga no ha cundido y no ha hecho progreso en la piel, lo recluirá otros siete días.
6 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.
Pasados estos siete días el sacerdote lo revisará nuevamente, y si la llaga ha palidecido y no se ha extendido en la piel, lo declarará puro; es una erupción. Lavará sus vestidos y quedará puro.
7 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:
Mas si la mancha en la piel siguiere cundiendo después de mostrarse el hombre al sacerdote para ser declarado limpio, será revisado otra vez por el sacerdote.
8 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.
El sacerdote le revisará y si la mancha se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo: es lepra.
9 When the disease of a leper is seen on a man, let him be taken to the priest;
Cuando se mostrare en un hombre la plaga de la lepra, será llevado al sacerdote.
10 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,
El sacerdote lo revisará y si observa un tumor blanco en la piel, y mudado en blanco el color del pelo, y carne viva en la hinchazón,
11 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.
es lepra inveterada en la piel de su carne; el sacerdote lo declarará impuro y no lo recluirá, pues es impuro.
12 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,
Pero si la lepra ha cundido mucho en la piel, hasta cubrir toda la piel del enfermo desde la cabeza a los pies, en cuanto alcanza a verlo el sacerdote,
13 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.
este lo examinará, y si la lepra ha cubierto toda su carne, declarará puro al afectado por la plaga: se ha vuelto todo blanco; es puro.
14 But whenever diseased flesh is seen on him, he will be unclean.
Mas cuando se ve en él carne viva quedará impuro;
15 And when the priest sees the diseased flesh he will say that he is unclean; the diseased flesh is unclean, he is a leper.
y cuando el sacerdote observe la carne viva, lo declarará impuro; la carne viva es impura; es lepra;
16 Or if the diseased flesh is turned again and changed to white then he is to come to the priest,
Pero si la carne viva cambia volviéndose blanca, ha de presentarse al sacerdote.
17 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.
El sacerdote lo examinará, y al ver que la plaga se ha vuelto blanca, declarará puro al afectado por la enfermedad, y este quedará puro.
18 And if a bad place has come out on the skin and is well again,
Cuando en la piel de la carne de alguno hubiere una úlcera que se ha curado,
19 And on the same place there is a white growth of a bright mark, red and white, then let the priest see it;
y apareciere en el lugar de la úlcera un tumor blanco, o una mancha de color blanco rojizo, este tal ha de presentarse al sacerdote.
20 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.
El sacerdote lo examinará, y si la mancha parece más hundida que la piel, y su pelo se ha vuelto blanco, lo declarará impuro. Es llaga de lepra que se ha producido en la úlcera.
21 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:
Mas si el sacerdote ve que no hay en ella pelo blanco, ni está más hundida que la piel, y que ha tomado color pálido, lo recluirá por siete días.
22 And if it is increasing on the skin, the priest will say that he is unclean: it is a disease.
Si entonces se extendiere por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro; es lepra.
23 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.
Pero si la mancha sigue estacionaria en su lugar, sin extenderse, es cicatriz de la úlcera; y el sacerdote lo declarará puro.
24 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,
Cuando uno tiene en la piel de su carne quemadura de fuego, y aparece sobre la quemadura una mancha, de color blanco rojizo o solo blanco,
25 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.
la examinará el sacerdote; y si el pelo se ha vuelto blanco en la mancha blanca y ella aparece más hundida que la piel, es lepra que se ha producido en la quemadura. El sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es llaga de lepra.
26 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:
Si, en cambio, el sacerdote observa que en la mancha no aparece pelo blanco y que no está más hundida que la piel y que ha palidecido, lo recluirá siete días.
27 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.
Al séptimo día lo examinará, y si (la mancha) se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote le declarará impuro; es llaga de lepra.
28 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.
Pero si la mancha sigue estacionaria en su lugar, sin cundir en la piel, y ha cobrado color pálido, es hinchazón de quemadura, y el sacerdote lo declarará puro; pues es cicatriz de la quemadura.
29 And when a man or a woman has a disease on the head, or in the hair of the chin,
Cuando un hombre o una mujer tuvieren una llaga en la cabeza o en la barba,
30 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.
el sacerdote examinará la llaga, y si esta aparece más hundida que la piel, y si hay en ella pelo amarillento y más delgado, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro, es tina, o sea lepra de la cabeza o de la barba.
31 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:
Mas si el sacerdote ve que la llaga de la tina no aparece más hundida que la piel, aunque no hay en ella pelo negro, recluirá al enfermo de la tina por siete días.
32 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,
Al séptimo lo examinará el sacerdote, y si no ha cundido la tiña, ni hay en ella pelo amarillento, ni aparece la tina más hundida que la piel,
33 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:
se afeitará aquella persona, excepto el lugar de la tiña; y el sacerdote recluirá al tiñoso durante otros siete días.
34 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.
Al séptimo día lo examinará el sacerdote, y si no ha cundido la tiña por la piel, ni aparece más hundida que la piel, lo declarará puro. Lavará sus vestidos y quedará puro.
35 But if the disease in his skin becomes worse after he has been made clean,
Pero si la tiña, después de la purificación, se extendiere mucho por la piel,
36 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.
lo examinará el sacerdote, y si la tiña se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote ya no tendrá que buscar el pelo amarillento; aquella persona es impura.
37 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.
Mas si según su opinión la tiña no se ha extendido, y ha brotado en ella pelo negro, se ha curado la tifia. Esa persona es pura, y el sacerdote la declarará pura.
38 And if a man or a woman has bright marks on the skin of their flesh, that is, bright white marks,
Cuando un hombre o una mujer tuviere en la piel de su carne manchas blancas,
39 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.
el sacerdote los examinará y si las manchas lustrosas en la piel de su carne son de color pálido blanco, es una eczema que ha brotado en la piel; esa persona es pura.
40 And if a man's hair has come out and he has no hair, still he is clean.
Si a alguno se le caen los pelos, es un calvo, pero queda puro.
41 And if the hair has gone from the front part of his head, so that he has no hair there, still he is clean.
Y si los pelos se le caen de la parte delantera de la cabeza, es calvo de frente, pero queda puro.
42 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.
Mas si en la calva, por detrás o por delante, aparece una llaga de color blanco rojizo, es lepra que ha nacido en la calva, sea por detrás o por delante.
43 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;
El sacerdote lo examinará, y si la hinchazón de la llaga en la parte calva, sea por detrás o por delante, es de color blanco rojizo teniendo el aspecto de la lepra en la piel de la carne,
44 He is a leper and unclean; the priest is to say that he is most certainly unclean: the disease is in his head.
es leproso; es impuro; el sacerdote lo declarará impuro; su lepra está en la cabeza.
45 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.
El afectado por la lepra, llevará sus vestidos rasgados, dejará descubierta su cabeza, se tapará la boca y caminará gritando: ¡Impuro, impuro!
46 While the disease is on him, he will be unclean. He is unclean: let him keep by himself, living outside the tent-circle.
Todo el tiempo que durare la plaga, quedará impuro; impuro es; habitará solo; fuera del campamento será su morada.
47 And any clothing of wool or of linen in which is the mark of the disease;
Cuando aparezca plaga de lepra en un vestido de lana o en un vestido de lino,
48 If it is in the threads of the linen or of the wool, or in leather, or in anything made of skin;
sea en la urdimbre del lino o de la lana, o sea en la trama, o en una piel, o en cualquier objeto hecho de cuero,
49 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.
si la mancha en el vestido o en la piel, o en la urdimbre, o en la trama, o en cualquier objeto hecho de cuero, tiene color verdoso o rojizo, es plaga de lepra y debe ser mostrada al sacerdote.
50 And after it has been seen by the priest, the thing which is so marked is to be shut up for seven days:
El sacerdote examinará la mancha y encerrará el objeto manchado durante siete días.
51 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.
Al séptimo el sacerdote examinará la plaga, y si la plaga se ha extendido en el vestido, sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en la piel, o en cualquier objeto hecho de cuero, lepra maligna es la tal plaga, y (el objeto) queda impuro.
52 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.
Por lo cual se quemará el vestido, esté (la mancha) en la urdimbre o en la trama de lana o de lino, y asimismo cualquier objeto de piel en que se encuentre la mancha; pues es lepra maligna; será entregado al fuego.
53 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,
Pero si el sacerdote ve que no ha cundido la mancha por el vestido, ni en la urdimbre, ni en la trama, ni en cualquier objeto de piel,
54 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:
el sacerdote hará lavar el objeto manchado y lo encerrará otros siete días.
55 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.
Si el sacerdote ve que la mancha después de haber sido lavada no ha mudado de aspecto, aunque la mancha no se haya extendido, (el objeto) es impuro; lo entregará al fuego; es una corrosión en su reverso o en su anverso.
56 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:
Mas si el sacerdote ve que la parte manchada, después de lavada, ha tomado color, la rasgará del vestido, de la piel, de la urdimbre o de la trama respectiva.
57 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.
Pero si volviere a aparecer en el vestido, sea en la urdimbre o en la trama o en cualquier objeto de cuero, es una erupción (de lepra); entregarás al fuego aquello en que estuviese la lepra.
58 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.
Mas si el vestido, la urdimbre o la trama, o cualquier objeto de cuero que después de ser lavados pierden la mancha, serán lavados por segunda vez y quedarán limpios.
59 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.
Esta es la ley de la plaga de la lepra que se halla en los vestidos de lana o de lino, sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en cualquier objeto hecho de cuero, para declararlos puros o impuros.”
