Leviticus 13
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Yahvé habló a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:
2 If any man should have in the skin of his flesh a bright clear spot, and there should be in the skin of his flesh a plague of leprosy, he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests.
“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 the priest shall view the spot in the skin of his flesh; and [if] the hair in the spot be changed [to] white, and the appearance of the spot be below the skin of the flesh, it is a plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look upon it, and pronounce him 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 spot be clear and white in the skin of his flesh, yet the appearance of it be not deep below the skin, and its hair have not changed [itself for] white hair, but it is dark, then the priest shall separate [him that has] the spot 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 shall look on the spot the seventh day; and, behold, [if] the spot remains before him, [if] the spot has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall separate him the second time seven days.
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 shall look upon him the second time on the seventh day; and, behold, [if] the spot be dark, [and] the spot have not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is a [mere] mark, and the man shall wash his garments and 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 bright spot should have changed and spread in the skin, after the priest has seen him for the purpose of purifying him, then shall he appear the second time to the priest,
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 the priest shall look upon him; and, behold, [if] the mark have spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.
El sacerdote le revisará y si la mancha se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo: es lepra.
9 And if a man have a plague of leprosy, then he shall come to the priest;
Cuando se mostrare en un hombre la plaga de la lepra, será llevado al sacerdote.
10 and the priest shall look, and, behold, if it is a white spot in the skin, and it has changed the hair to white, and [there be] some of the sound part of the quick flesh in the sore—
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 a leprosy waxing old in the skin of the flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall separate him, because he is 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 leprosy should have come out very evidently in the skin, and the leprosy should cover all the skin of the patient from the head to the feet, wherever the priest shall look;
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 then the priest shall look, and, behold, the leprosy has covered all the skin of the flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague, because it has changed all to white, it 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 on whatever day the quick flesh shall appear on him, he shall be pronounced unclean.
Mas cuando se ve en él carne viva quedará impuro;
15 And the priest shall look upon the sound flesh, and the sound flesh shall prove him to be unclean; for it is unclean, it is a leprosy.
y cuando el sacerdote observe la carne viva, lo declarará impuro; la carne viva es impura; es lepra;
16 But if the sound flesh be restored and changed [to] white, then shall he come to the priest;
Pero si la carne viva cambia volviéndose blanca, ha de presentarse al sacerdote.
17 and the priest shall see [him], and, behold, [if] the plague is turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the patient clean: he is clean.
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 the flesh should have become an ulcer in his skin, and should be healed,
Cuando en la piel de la carne de alguno hubiere una úlcera que se ha curado,
19 and there should be in the place of the ulcer a white sore, or [one] looking white and bright, or fiery, and it shall be seen by the priest;
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 then the priest shall look, and, behold, if the appearance be beneath the skin, and its hair has changed to white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; because it is a leprosy, it has broken out in the ulcer.
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 the priest look, and behold there is no white hair on it, and it be not below the skin of the flesh, and it be dark-coloured; then the priest shall separate him 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 But if it manifestly spread over the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy; it has broken out in the ulcer.
Si entonces se extendiere por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro; es lepra.
23 But if the bright spot should remain in its place and not spread, it is the scar of the ulcer; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Pero si la mancha sigue estacionaria en su lugar, sin extenderse, es cicatriz de la úlcera; y el sacerdote lo declarará puro.
24 And if the flesh be in his skin [in a state of] fiery inflammation, and there should be in his skin the part which is healed of the inflammation, bright, clear, and white, suffused with red or very 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 then the priest shall look upon him, and, behold, [if] the hair being white is changed to a bright colour, and its appearance is lower than the skin, it is a leprosy; it has broken out in the inflammation, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy.
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 the priest should look, and, behold, there is not in the bright spot any white hair, and it should not be lower than the skin, and it should be dark, then the priest shall separate him 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 shall look upon him on the seventh day; and if the spot be much spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy, it has broken out in the ulcer.
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 But if the bright spot remain stationary, and be not spread in the skin, but [the sore] should be dark, it is a scar of inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the mark of the inflammation.
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 if a man or a woman have in them a plague of leprosy in the head or the beard;
Cuando un hombre o una mujer tuvieren una llaga en la cabeza o en la barba,
30 then the priest shall look on the plague, and, behold, [if] the appearance of it be beneath the skin, and in it there be thin yellowish hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a scurf, it is a leprosy of the head or a leprosy of the beard.
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 if the priest should see the plague of the scurf, and, behold, the appearance of it be not beneath the skin, and there is no yellowish hair in it, then the priest shall set apart [him that has] the plague of the scurf 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 the priest shall look at the plague on the seventh day; and, behold, [if] the scurf be not spread, and there be no yellowish hair on it, and the appearance of the scurf is not hollow under 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 the skin shall be shaven, but the scurf shall not be shaven; and the priest shall set aside the person having the scurf the second time for seven days.
se afeitará aquella persona, excepto el lugar de la tiña; y el sacerdote recluirá al tiñoso durante otros siete días.
34 And the priest shall see the scurf on the seventh day; and, behold, [if] the scurf is not spread in the skin after the man's being shaved, and the appearance of the scurf is not hollow beneath the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his garments, and 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 scurf be indeed spread in the skin after he has been purified,
Pero si la tiña, después de la purificación, se extendiere mucho por la piel,
36 then the priest shall look, and, behold, [if] the scurf be spread in the skin, the priest shall not examine concerning the yellow hair, for 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 the scurf remain before [him] in its place, and a dark hair should have arisen in it, the scurf is healed: he is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him 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 woman should have in the skin of their flesh spots of a bright whiteness,
Cuando un hombre o una mujer tuviere en la piel de su carne manchas blancas,
39 then the priest shall look; and, behold, there [being] bright spots of a bright whiteness in the skin of their flesh, it is a tetter; it burst forth in the skin of his flesh; 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 any one's head should lose the hair, he is [only] bald, he is clean.
Si a alguno se le caen los pelos, es un calvo, pero queda puro.
41 And if his head should lose the hair in front, he is forehead bald: 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 And if there should be in his baldness of head, or his baldness of forehead, a white or fiery plague, it is leprosy in his baldness of head, or baldness of forehead.
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 And the priest shall look upon him, and, behold, if the appearance of the plague be white or inflamed in his baldness of head or baldness in front, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of his flesh,
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 leprous man: the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean, his plague is in his head.
es leproso; es impuro; el sacerdote lo declarará impuro; su lepra está en la cabeza.
45 And the leper in whom the plague is, let his garments be ungirt, and his head uncovered; and let him have a covering put upon his mouth, and he shall be called unclean.
El afectado por la lepra, llevará sus vestidos rasgados, dejará descubierta su cabeza, se tapará la boca y caminará gritando: ¡Impuro, impuro!
46 All the days in which the plague shall be upon him, being unclean, he shall be [esteemed] unclean; he shall dwell apart, his place of sojourn shall be without the camp.
Todo el tiempo que durare la plaga, quedará impuro; impuro es; habitará solo; fuera del campamento será su morada.
47 And if a garment have in it the plague of leprosy, a garment of wool, or a garment of flax,
Cuando aparezca plaga de lepra en un vestido de lana o en un vestido de lino,
48 either in the warp or in the woof, or in the linen, or in the woollen threads, or in a skin, or in any workmanship 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 and the plague be greenish or reddish in the skin, or in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any utensil of skin, it is a plague of leprosy, and he shall show it to the priest.
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 the priest shall look upon the plague, and the priest shall set apart [that which has] the plague seven days.
El sacerdote examinará la mancha y encerrará el objeto manchado durante siete días.
51 And the priest shall look upon the plague on the seventh day; and if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in the skin, in whatever things skins may be used in their workmanship, the plague is a confirmed leprosy; 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 He shall burn the garment, either the warp or woof in woollen garments or in flaxen, or in any utensil of skin, in which there may be the plague; because it is a confirmed leprosy; it shall be burnt with 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 should see, and the plague be not spread in the garments, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any utensil of skin,
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 shall give directions, and [one] shall wash that on which there may have been the plague, and the priest shall set it aside a second time for seven days.
el sacerdote hará lavar el objeto manchado y lo encerrará otros siete días.
55 And the priest shall look upon it after the plague has been washed; and [if] this, even the plague, has not changed its appearance, and the plague does not spread, it is unclean; it shall be burnt with fire: it is fixed in the garment, in the warp, or in the woof.
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 should look, and the spot be dark after it has been washed, he shall tear it off from the garment, either from the warp or from the woof, or from the skin.
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 it should still appear in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of skin, it is a leprosy bursting forth: that wherein is the plague shall be burnt 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 garment, or the warp, or the woof, or any article of skin, which shall be washed, and the plague depart from it, shall also be washed again, and shall 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 of the plague of leprosy of a woollen or linen garment, either of the warp, or woof, or any leather article, to pronounce it 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.”
