< Leviticus 13 >
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị ha,
2 The man in whose skin or flesh there will have arisen a diverse color, or a pustule, or something that seems to shine, which is the mark of leprosy, shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to anyone you wish among his sons.
“Mgbe mmadụ hụrụ etuto, maọbụ ọnya, maọbụ ntụpọ na-eko eko nʼakpụkpọ anụ ahụ ya nke dị ka ihe ọrịa ekpenta na-eweta, a ga-eduru onye ahụ bịa nʼihu Erọn onye nchụaja maọbụ ụmụ ya ndị ikom, bụ ndị nchụaja.
3 And if he sees that leprosy is in his skin, and that the hair has turned a white color, and that the place where the leprosy appears is lower than the rest of the skin and the flesh, then it is the mark of leprosy, and at his judgment he shall be separated.
Onye nchụaja ga-eleru ọrịa ahụ dị ya nʼahụ anya. Ọ bụrụ na ajị dị gburugburu ebe ahụ ebidola ịcha ọcha, ọ bụrụkwa na ebe ahụ mibara ime, ọ bụ ọrịa ekpenta. Mgbe onye nchụaja leruchara ya anya, ọ ga-ekwupụta na onye ahụ bụ onye rụrụ arụ.
4 But if there will be a shining whiteness in the skin, but it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is of unaffected color, the priest shall seclude him for seven days.
Ọ bụrụkwanụ na ajị dị gburugburu ebe ahụ dị ọcha, ma na ebe ahụ emighị emi karịa akụkụ ahụ ya ndị ọzọ, onye nchụaja ga-edebe onye ahụ ebe ọ ga-anọ naanị ya abalị asaa.
5 And on the seventh day he shall examine him, and if the leprosy certainly has not increased further, and has not spread itself in the skin, he shall seclude him again, for another seven days.
Mgbe ụbọchị asaa gasịrị, onye nchụaja ga-ele ya ahụ ọzọ. Ọ bụrụ na ọnya ahụ alabeghị, na ọ nwekwaghị mgbanwe ọbụla, a ga-edebekwa ya abalị asaa ọzọ.
6 And on the seventh day, he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy has become obscured, and has not increased in the skin, he shall declare him clean, because it is a scab. And the man shall wash his clothes, and he shall be clean.
Mgbe abalị asaa nke a gafekwara, onye nchụaja ga-elekwa ya ahụ ọzọ. Ọ bụrụ na ọ dịtụla ya mma, na ọnya ahụ agbasaghị nʼanụ ahụ ya, onye nchụaja ga-asị na ọ dị ọcha, nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị ọnya efu. Onye ahụ ga-asakwa uwe ya mmiri, mgbe ahụ dị ọcha.
7 But if the leprosy increases again, after he was seen by the priest and restored to cleanness, he shall be brought to him,
Ma ọ bụrụ na ọnya ahụ agbasaa nʼahụ ya mgbe o gosicharala onye nchụaja onwe ya maka nsacha ịdị ọcha, ọ ga-alaghachikwa azụ ga hụ onye nchụaja ahụ ọzọ.
8 and he shall be condemned of uncleanness.
Onye nchụaja ga-eleru ya anya, ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja achọpụta na ọnya ahụ na-agbasa, ọ ga-agụ onye ahụ dịka onye rụrụ arụ, ọ bụ ọrịa na-efe efe.
9 If the mark of leprosy has been in a man, he shall be brought to the priest,
“Mgbe ọbụla mmadụ nwere ihe dị ka ọrịa na-efe efe nʼahụ ya, a ghaghị ịkpọtara ya onye nchụaja.
10 and he shall look upon him. And when there is a white color in the skin, and it has an altered appearance in its hair, and also the same flesh seems alive,
Onye nchụaja ga-ele anya nʼakụkụ anụ ahụ ya zara aza ịchọpụta ma ọ dị ọcha, ma ajị dị gburugburu ebe ahụ ọ na-acha ọcha, na ịhụkwa ma ọ nwere ọnya dị gburugburu ebe ahụ.
11 it shall be judged a chronic leprosy, which has grown into the skin. And so the priest shall declare him contaminated, and he shall not seclude him, because he is clearly unclean.
Ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja ahụ ihe ndị a, ọ bụ ọrịa ekpenta nʼezie. Ọ ga-agụkwa onye ahụ dịka onye rụrụ arụ. A gaghị edebekwa ya ile ya ahụ, nʼihi na ọ bụrụlarị onye rụrụ arụ.
12 But if the leprosy will have flourished, coursing through the skin, and will have covered all the skin from the head even to the feet, whatever falls under the sight of the eyes,
“Ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja elee onye ahụ anya hụ na ọrịa ọcha ahụ enupụtala nʼakụkụ ahụ ya niile, site nʼụkwụ ya ruo nʼisi ya,
13 the priest shall examine him, and he shall judge that the leprosy that he possesses is very clean, because it has all turned to whiteness, and for this reason the man shall be clean.
onye nchụaja a ga-eleru ya anya, ọ bụrụ na ọrịa ahụ enupụtala nʼahụ ya niile, ọ ga-ekwupụta na onye ahụ dị ọcha, ebe ọ bụ na ọrịa ahụ enupụtala mee ka anụ ahụ ya chawa ọcha.
14 Yet truly, when the living flesh shall appear in him,
Ma ọ bụrụ na e nwere akụkụ ahụ ya ọnya ọ hụrụ pụtara, ọ ga-agụ ya dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha.
15 then by the judgment of the priest he shall be polluted, and he shall be considered to be among the unclean. For the live flesh, if it is spotted with leprosy, is unclean.
Onye nchụaja ga-enyocha ọnya ahụ. Kwupụta na onye ahụ rụrụ arụ. Ọnya ahụ rụrụ arụ nʼihi na ọrịa ekpenta ka ọ bụ.
16 And if again it will have turned into whiteness, and will have covered the entire man,
Ọ bụrụ nʼọnya ahụ agbanwe na-acha ọcha, ha ga-agakwuru onye nchụaja.
17 the priest shall examine him, and he shall discern him to be clean.
Onye nchụaja ga-ele ya ahụ. Ọ bụrụ na ọnya niile ahụ na-acha ezi ọcha, onye nchụaja ga-agụ ya dịka onye na-enweghị ntụpọ. Ndị dị ọcha ka ha ga-abụ.
18 But when there has been an ulcer in the flesh and the skin, and it has healed,
“Ọ bụrụ na etuto toro mmadụ nʼahụ alaa,
19 and in the place of the ulcer, there appears a white or reddish scar, the man shall be brought to the priest.
ma akpụkpọ anụ ahụ ya anọgide na-acha ọcha, maọbụ na-acha ọbara ọbara, a ga-ejekwuru onye nchụaja ka o lee ya anya nʼahụ.
20 And when he will have seen the place of the leprosy lower than the rest of the flesh, and that the hair has turned white, he shall declare him contaminated. For the plague of leprosy has arisen from the ulcer.
Ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja achọpụta na e nwere ọrịa dị nʼokpuru akpụkpọ ahụ ya, chọpụtakwa na ajị ya na-acha ọcha, onye nchụaja ga-agụ mmadụ ahụ dịka onye rụrụ arụ, nʼihi na ekpenta esitela nʼetuto ahụ pụta.
21 But if the hair is of the usual color, and the scar is somewhat obscure and is not lower than the nearby flesh, he shall seclude him for seven days.
Ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja achọpụta na ajị ọcha adịghị nʼakpụkpọ ahụ ya, chọpụtakwa na ọnya ahụ abanyeghị nʼime, onye nchụaja ga-edebe onye ahụ ụbọchị asaa.
22 And if it will have certainly increased, he shall judge him to have leprosy.
Nʼime ụbọchị asaa ahụ, ọ bụrụ na ọnya ahụ abaa ụba karịa ka ọ dị na mbụ, onye nchụaja ga-agụ mmadụ ahụ dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha. Ọ bụ ọrịa na-emerụ emerụ ka ọ bụ.
23 But if it stays in its place, it is the scar of an ulcer, and the man shall be clean.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ baghị ụba karịa, onye nchụaja ga-agụ mmadụ ahụ dịka onye dị ọcha, nʼihi na ihe a bụ etuto lara ala.
24 But if flesh and skin has been burned by fire, and, having been healed, now has a white or red scar,
“Ọ bụrụ na ọkụ agbaa mmadụ, mee ka ọnya pụta ya nʼahụ: ọ bụrụ na ọnya ahụ ebido na-acha ọbara ọbara, maọbụ na-acha ezigbo ọcha,
25 the priest shall examine it, and if he sees that it has turned white, and that its place is lower than the rest of the skin, he shall declare him contaminated, for the mark of leprosy has arisen in the scar.
onye nchụaja ga-elezi onye dị otu a anya. Ọ bụrụ na ajị dị gburugburu ebe ọnya ahụ dị na-acha ọcha, maọbụ na ọnya ahụ mibara ime karịa, ọ ghọọla ekpenta nke si nʼọnya ahụ nupụta. Onye nchụaja ga-agụ mmadụ ahụ dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha. Ọ bụ ọrịa ekpenta.
26 But if the color of the hair has not been changed, nor is the mark lower than the rest of the flesh, and the leprosy itself appears to be somewhat obscure, he shall seclude him for seven days,
Ma ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja elee ya hụ na ajị dị gburugburu ebe ahụ adịghị ọcha, ọ bụrụkwa na ọ dịghị ala karịa akpụkpọ ahụ, na ọ na-aṅacha, mgbe ahụ onye nchụaja ga-edebe onye ahụ iche ụbọchị asaa.
27 and on the seventh day he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy will have increased further in the skin, he shall declare him contaminated.
Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, onye nchụaja ga-elezi onye ahụ anya nke ọma. Ọ bụrụ na ọ chọpụtara na ọnya ahụ na-abasaa nʼakpụkpọ ahụ ya, onye nchụaja ga-agụ onye ahụ dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha. Ọrịa na-emerụ emerụ ka ọ bụ.
28 But if the whiteness stays in its place and is not very clear, it is the mark of a burn, and for this reason he shall be declared clean, because it is only the scar from a burn.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ gbanweghị, bụrụkwa na ọ basaghị nʼakpụkpọ ahụ ma ọ na-aṅacha, ọ bụ ihe ọzịza sitere nʼọkụ rere onye ahụ, onye nchụaja ga-agụ ya dịka onye dị ọcha, nʼihi na ọ bụ apa ọnya lara ala.
29 If leprosy will have sprung up in the head or the beard of a man or woman, the priest shall look upon them,
“Ọ bụrụ na nwoke maọbụ nwanyị ọbụla enwee ọnya nʼisi, maọbụ na nti ya,
30 and if the place is certainly lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is golden, and thinner than usual, he shall declare them contaminated, because it is the leprosy of the head and the beard.
onye nchụaja ga-elezi ọnya ahụ anya. Ọ bụrụ na ọ dị ala karịa akpụkpọ ahụ ya, ọ bụrụkwa na ajị dị na ya na-acha odo odo dị irighiri, onye nchụaja ga-agụ ha dịka ndị na-adịghị ọcha. Ọ bụ ọrịa na-emerụ emerụ nke dị nʼisi maọbụ nʼagba.
31 But if he sees that the place of the spot is equal with the nearby flesh, and that the hair is black, he shall seclude him for seven days,
Ma ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja achọpụta na ọnya ahụ adịghị abasa abasa, maọbụ na ajị dị nʼebe ahụ adịghị eji ojii, onye nchụaja ga-edebe onye ahụ ụbọchị asaa.
32 and on the seventh day he shall examine it. If the spot has not increased, and the hair has kept its color, and the place of the mark is equal with the rest of the flesh,
Nʼụbọchị nke asaa onye nchụaja ga-elezi ọnya ahụ anya. Ọ bụrụ na ọnya ahụ abasaghị karịa, ọ bụrụ na o nweghị ajị na-acha edo edo, ọ bụrụkwa na o mibaghị emiba,
33 the man shall be shaven, except in the place of the spot, and he shall be secluded for another seven days.
ọ ga-akpụchapụ ajị niile dị nʼakụkụ ebe ahụ ọnya mere ya, ma ọ gaghị akpụchapụ ajị dị nʼọnya ahụ nʼonwe ya. Onye nchụaja ga-edebe onye ahụ ụbọchị asaa.
34 On the seventh day, if the mark seems to have stayed in its place, and it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, he shall declare him clean, and, his clothes having been washed, he shall be clean.
Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, onye nchụaja ga-elezi ọnya ahụ anya. Ọ bụrụ na ọ basaghị karịa, maọbụ mibanye nʼime karịa anụ ahụ, a ga-agụ mmadụ ahụ dịka onye dị ọcha. Ọ ga-apụ sachaa uwe ya, bụrụ onye dị ọcha.
35 But if, after his cleansing, the spot will have increased again in the skin,
Ma ọ bụrụ na mgbe a gụchara ya nʼonye dị ọcha ọnya ahụ emesịa basaa nʼahụ ya.
36 he shall no longer inquire as to whether the hair has turned yellow, because he is plainly unclean.
Onye nchụaja ga-ele ya anya. Ọ bụrụ na ọnya ahụ agbasaala nʼakpụkpọ ahụ ya, onye nchụaja a gaghị achọwa ajị na-acha edo edo. Onye ahụ rụrụ arụ.
37 Furthermore, if the spot has not increased, and the hair is black, let him know that the man is healed: and let him confidently pronounce him clean.
Ma ọ bụrụ nʼuche onye nchụaja na ọnya ahụ adịghị abasa abasa, ọ bụrụkwa na ajị ojii epupụtala nʼebe ahụ, ọnya ahụ alaala. Onye dị ọcha ka mmadụ ahụ bụ. Onye nchụaja ga-ekwupụta na ọ dị ọcha.
38 If a whiteness will have appeared in the skin of a man or a woman,
“Mgbe nwoke maọbụ nwanyị ọbụla nwere ntụpọ ọcha nʼanụ ahụ ya,
39 the priest shall examine them. If he detects an obscured whiteness shining in the skin, may he know that it is not leprosy, but a white-colored blemish, and that the man is clean.
onye nchụaja ga-ele ya ahụ. Ọ bụrụ na ntụpọ ahụ adịghị achazi ezi ọcha, ọ bụ ọkọ nupụtara onye ahụ nʼahụ. Onye ahụ dị ọcha.
40 The man whose hair falls off of his head is bald and clean.
“Mgbe ajị na-adịghịkwa nwoke nʼisi, ọ bụ isi nkwọcha, onye ahụ dị ọcha.
41 And if the hair falls off of his forehead, he is bald in front and clean.
Otu aka ahụ, ọ bụrụ na isi ya esite nʼegedege ihu ya kwọchasịa, ọ bụghị ekpenta, onye dị ọcha ka ọ bụ.
42 But if in the bald head or bald forehead there has arisen a white or reddish color,
Kama ọ bụrụ na onye ahụ enwee etuto nʼisi ya maọbụ nʼegedege ihu ya nke na-acha ọbara ọbara, na ọcha ọcha, o nwere ike bụrụ ọrịa ekpenta na-enupụta ya nʼisi maọbụ nʼegedege ihu.
43 and the priest will have seen this, he shall condemn him without doubt of leprosy, which has arisen in the baldness.
Nʼihi ya, onye nchụaja ga-elezi ya anya. Ọ bụrụ na etuto ahụ toro ya nʼisi maọbụ nʼegedege ihu na-acha ọbara ọbara, na ọcha ọcha, ọ ga-abụ na ọ ghọọla ọrịa ekpenta.
44 Therefore, whoever will have been spotted by leprosy, and who has been separated at the judgment of the priest,
Onye nchụaja ga-agụ ya dịka onye ekpenta. Ọ bụkwa onye rụrụ arụ, nʼihi ọnya ahụ dị ya nʼisi.
45 shall have his clothes unstitched, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth, and he himself shall cry out that he is contaminated and filthy.
“Onye ọbụla a chọpụtara na ọ bụ onye ekpenta ga-eyi uwe dọkara adọka, hapụ agịrị isi ya ka ọ dịka nke onye ara. Ọ ga-ekpuchi elu egbugbere ọnụ ya, na-eti mkpu na-asị, ‘Onye rụrụ arụ ka m bụ. Onye rụrụ arụ ka m bụ!’
46 The entire time that he is a leper and unclean he shall live alone outside the camp.
Ụbọchị niile nke ọ nọ nʼọrịa ahụ, ọ gaghị ebi nʼime obodo nʼetiti ụmụ mmadụ nʼihi na onye rụrụ arụ ka ọ bụ.
47 A woolen or linen garment that will have held the leprosy,
“Ọ bụrụ na a hụrụ ntụpọ yiri ntụpọ ọrịa na-efe efe nʼuwe ajị anụ maọbụ nʼuwe ogho ọcha,
48 in the main fibers or in any of the threads, or certainly in a skin, or whatever has been made from a skin,
maọbụ nʼakpụkpọ anụ ọbụla, maọbụ nʼihe ọbụla e ji akpụkpọ ajị anụ maọbụ uwe ogho ọcha, uwe a kpara akpa, maọbụ nke a tụrụ atụ mee.
49 if it has been infected with a white or red spot, it shall be considered to be leprosy, and it shall be shown to the priest.
Ọ bụrụkwa na ntụpọ dị nʼuwe ahụ, maọbụ nʼakpụkpọ anụ ahụ, maọbụ nke a kpara akpa, maọbụ nke atụrụ atụ, maọbụ nʼihe akpụkpọ anụ ọbụla na-acha ahịhịa ndụ maọbụ uhie uhie, o nwere ike ịbụ ọrịa na-efe efe. A ga-ewegara onye nchụaja uwe ahụ ka o lezie ya anya.
50 And he, having examined it, shall close it up for seven days.
Onye nchụaja ga-ele ya anya, were ya debe ya iche ụbọchị asaa.
51 And on the seventh day, having looked at it again, if he detects an increase, it is a persistent leprosy; he shall judge the garment to be polluted, along with everything with which it has been found.
Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, onye nchụaja ga-ele ya anya ọzọ. Ọ bụrụ na ntụpọ ahụ agbasaa nʼuwe ahụ maọbụ nʼihe ahụ a kpara akpa, maọbụ nʼihe ahụ a tụrụ atụ, maọbụ nʼihe akpụkpọ anụ ahụ, nʼime ụbọchị asaa ndị a, nʼagbanyeghị ihe e ji ha eme, ọ bụ ọrịa ọjọọ na-efe efe. Ihe ahụ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ.
52 And because of this, it shall be burned in flames.
A ga-akpọ uwe ahụ, maọbụ akwa ajị anụ ahụ, maọbụ akwa ajị anụ a kpara akpa, maọbụ akwa ogho ọcha ahụ, maọbụ ihe akpụkpọ anụ ọbụla ọkụ, nʼihi na ọrịa na-efe efe dị nʼime ya, nʼihi na ọrịa na-eweta mbibi ka ọ bụ. A ghakwaghị iji ọkụ rechapụ ya.
53 But if he will have seen that it has not increased,
“Ma ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja ahụ ele hụ na ntụpọ ahụ agbasaghị nʼuwe ahụ, maọbụ nʼakwa ahụ a kpara akpa, maọbụ akwa a tụrụ atụ, maọbụ nʼihe akpụkpọ anụ ahụ ọbụla.
54 he shall instruct them, and they shall wash whatever has the leprosy in it, and he shall close it up for another seven days.
Ọ ga-enye iwu ka a saa ihe ndị ahụ niile mmiri, wezugakwa ya iche ruo ụbọchị asaa ọzọ.
55 And when he will have seen that the former appearance has not returned, even if the leprosy has not increased, he shall judge it to be unclean, and he shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has been infused in the exterior of the garment, or throughout the whole.
Mgbe a sachara ihe ahụ mmiri, onye nchụaja ga-ele ya anya ọzọ. Ọ bụrụ na ntụpọ ahụ agbanwebeghị, ọ bụrụ na ọ na-achakwa dịka o si acha na mbụ, mgbe ụbọchị ndị a gasịrị, ọ bụ ezie na ọ gbasaghị, ọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ. A ga-akpọ ya ọkụ, ma ntụpọ ahụ ọ dị nʼihu uwe ahụ maọbụ nʼazụ ya.
56 But if the place of the leprosy has become somewhat darker, after the garment has been washed, he shall tear it away, and separate it from the part that is sound.
Ma ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja elee ya anya hụ na ụcha ntụpọ dị nʼihe ahụ adịghị ukwuu nʼihi nsacha a sachara ya na mmiri, ọ ga-achakapụ akụkụ uwe ahụ, maọbụ akwa ahụ a kpara akpa maọbụ nke a tụrụ atụ.
57 But if, after this, there will appear in those places which before were immaculate, a flying and wandering leprosy, it must be burned with fire.
Ọ bụrụ na ntụpọ ahụ emesịa pụta ọzọ nʼuwe ahụ, maọbụ nʼakwa ahụ a kpara akpa, maọbụ nke a tụrụ atụ, maọbụ nʼakpụkpọ anụ ahụ, o gosiri na ọ na-agbasa agbasa. Ihe ọbụla nwere ntụpọ ahụ ka a ga-akpọ ọkụ.
58 If it will have ceased, he shall wash with water the parts which are pure for a second time, and they shall be clean.
Uwe maọbụ ihe a kpara akpa, maọbụ ihe a tụrụ atụ, maọbụ ihe akpụkpọ anụ ọbụla a sara mmiri nke ntụpọ dị na ya pụrụ, a ga-asa ya mmiri ọzọ. Ọ ga-abụkwa ihe dị ọcha.”
59 This is the law about leprosy for any woolen or linen garment, in the weave and in the threads, and for all items made from skins, how it must be declared either clean or contaminated.
Ndị a bụ usoro iwu metụtara ntụpọ dịka ntụpọ ọrịa na-efe efe nke dị nʼuwe ajị anụ maọbụ uwe ogho ọcha, maọbụ nʼihe a kpara akpa maọbụ nʼihe a tụrụ atụ, maọbụ nʼihe akpụkpọ anụ. Iwu ndị a ga-enye aka ịchọpụta ma ha rụrụ arụ, maọbụ na ha dị ọcha.
