Leviticus 13
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Bwana akawaambia Mose na Aroni,
2 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising or a scab, or bright spot, and it become in the skin of his flesh a sore [as] of leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests.
“Iwapo mtu yeyote atakuwa na uvimbe au upele au alama nyeupe juu ya ngozi yake ambayo yaweza kuwa ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza, ni lazima aletwe kwa Aroni kuhani ama kwa wanawe, kuhani mmojawapo.
3 And when the priest looketh on the sore in the skin of the flesh, and the hair in the sore is turned white, and the sore looketh deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is the sore of leprosy; and the priest shall look on him and pronounce him unclean.
Kuhani atachunguza hicho kidonda kilichopo juu ya ngozi yake, na kama nywele za mahali palipo na kidonda zimebadilika kuwa nyeupe, na ikiwa kidonda kimeingia ndani ya ngozi, basi ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza, yaani ukoma. Kuhani atakapomchunguza, atamtangaza mtu huyo kuwa ni najisi kwa kawaida ya ibada.
4 But if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and look not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the sore seven days.
Kama alama juu ya ngozi yake ni nyeupe, lakini haionekani kuwa imeingia ndani zaidi ya ngozi, na nywele kwenye alama hiyo hazijageuka kuwa nyeupe, kuhani atamtenga mtu huyo mahali pa pekee kwa siku saba.
5 And the priest shall look on him the seventh day; and behold, in his sight, the sore remaineth as it was, the sore hath not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days a second time.
Siku ya saba, kuhani atamchunguza, na kama hakuona badiliko kwenye kile kidonda na hakijaenea juu ya ngozi, atamtenga kwa siku nyingine saba.
6 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day, and behold, the sore is become pale and the sore hath not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a scab; and he shall wash his garments and be clean.
Siku ya saba kuhani atamchunguza tena, na kama kidonda kimepungua na hakijaenea juu ya ngozi, kuhani atamtangaza mtu huyo kuwa ni safi, ni upele tu. Ni lazima mtu huyo afue mavazi yake, naye atakuwa safi.
7 But if the scab have spread much in the skin, after that he hath been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again;
Lakini ikiwa ule upele utaenea juu ya ngozi yake baada ya yeye kujionyesha kwa kuhani na kutangazwa kuwa safi, ni lazima aende tena kwa kuhani.
8 and the priest shall look on him, and behold, the scab hath spread in the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy.
Kuhani atamchunguza, na kama upele umeenea kwenye ngozi, atamtangaza kuwa najisi, kwani ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza, yaani ukoma.
9 When a sore [as] of leprosy is in a man, he shall be brought unto the priest;
“Wakati mtu yeyote ana ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza, ni lazima aletwe kwa kuhani.
10 and the priest shall look on him, and behold, there is a white rising in the skin, and it hath turned the hair white, and a trace of raw flesh is in the rising:
Kuhani atamchunguza na kama kuna uvimbe mweupe juu ya ngozi ambao umefanya nywele kuwa nyeupe, na kama kuna nyama mbichi ndani ya uvimbe,
11 it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and he shall not shut him up, for he is unclean.
ni ugonjwa sugu wa ngozi, na kuhani atamtangaza kuwa najisi. Hatamtenga tena kwa sababu ni najisi tayari.
12 But if the leprosy break out much in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of [him that hath] the sore, from his head even to his foot, wherever the eyes of the priest look,
“Ikiwa ugonjwa utakuwa umeenea kwenye ngozi yake yote kwa kadiri kuhani atakavyoweza kuona, kwamba umeenea kwenye ngozi yote ya huyo mgonjwa kutoka kichwani mpaka wayo,
13 and the priest looketh, and behold, the leprosy covereth all his flesh, he shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the sore; it is all turned white; he is clean.
kuhani atamchunguza, na kama ugonjwa umeenea mwili mzima, atamtangaza huyo mtu kuwa safi. Kwa kuwa mwili wote umekuwa mweupe, yeye ni safi.
14 And on the day when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
Lakini itokeapo nyama mbichi kwenye ngozi yake, atakuwa najisi.
15 And the priest shall look on the raw flesh, and shall pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean, it is leprosy.
Kuhani atakapoiona hiyo nyama mbichi, atamtangaza mtu huyo kuwa najisi. Hiyo nyama mbichi ni najisi, ana ugonjwa wa kuambukiza.
16 But if the raw flesh change again, and be turned white, he shall come unto the priest;
Hiyo nyama mbichi ikigeuka na kuwa nyeupe, ni lazima amwendee kuhani.
17 and the priest shall look on him, and behold, the sore is turned white; then the priest shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the sore: he is clean.
Kuhani atamchunguza, na kama vidonda vimekuwa vyeupe, kuhani atamtangaza mgonjwa huyo kuwa safi; kisha atakuwa safi.
18 And the flesh — when in the skin thereof cometh a boil, and it is healed,
“Wakati mtu ana jipu juu ya ngozi yake nalo likapona,
19 and there is in the place of the boil a white rising, or a white-reddish bright spot, it shall be shewn to the priest;
napo mahali palipokuwa na jipu pakatokea uvimbe mweupe, au alama yenye wekundu na weupe, ni lazima akajionyeshe kwa kuhani.
20 and the priest shall look on it, and behold, it looketh deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof is turned white; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore of leprosy broken out in the boil.
Kuhani atapachunguza, na kama uvimbe umezama ndani ya ngozi, na nywele zimegeuka kuwa nyeupe, kuhani atamtangaza mtu huyo kuwa najisi. Ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza uliojitokeza pale jipu lilipokuwa.
21 But if the priest look on it, and behold, there are no white hairs therein, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is pale, the priest shall shut him up seven days;
Lakini ikiwa wakati kuhani anapopachunguza pakawa hapana nywele nyeupe ndani yake, wala hakuna shimo bali pamepungua, basi kuhani atamtenga mtu huyo kwa siku saba.
22 and if it spread much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore.
Kama unaenea kwenye ngozi, kuhani atamtangaza kuwa najisi; ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza.
23 But if the bright spot have remained in its place, [and] have not spread, it is the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Lakini ikiwa ile alama haijabadilika wala kuenea, ni kovu tu kutokana na jipu, kuhani atamtangaza kuwa safi.
24 Or if in the flesh, in the skin thereof, there is a burning inflammation, and the place of the inflammation become a bright spot white-reddish or white,
“Wakati mtu ameungua kwenye ngozi yake, pakatokea alama yenye wekundu na weupe, au alama nyeupe ikaonekana penye nyama mbichi pale palipoungua,
25 and the priest look on it, and behold, the hair is turned white in the bright spot, and it looketh deeper than the skin, it is a leprosy which is broken out in the inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore of leprosy.
kuhani ataichunguza ile alama, na kama nywele zilizoko juu yake zimegeuka kuwa nyeupe, napo pametokea shimo, basi huo ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza ambao umetokea juu ya jeraha la moto. Kuhani atamtangaza kuwa najisi; ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza.
26 But if the priest look on it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it is no deeper than the skin, and is pale, the priest shall shut him up seven days.
Lakini kama kuhani akichunguza na kuona kwamba hakuna nywele nyeupe kwenye alama ile, wala hakuna shimo napo pameanza kupungua, basi kuhani atamtenga kwa siku saba.
27 And the priest shall look on him the seventh day, and if it have spread much in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore of leprosy.
Siku ya saba kuhani atamchunguza tena, na kama unaenea kwenye ngozi, kuhani atamtangaza kuwa najisi; ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza.
28 But if the bright spot have remained in its place, [and] not spread in the skin, and is pale, it is the rising of the inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar of the inflammation.
Lakini, kama alama ile haikubadilika na wala haijaenea kwenye ngozi, napo pamepungua, ni uvimbe kutokana na jeraha la moto, na kuhani atamtangaza kuwa safi; ni kovu tu kutokana na kuungua.
29 And if a man or a woman have a sore on the head or on the beard,
“Ikiwa mwanaume au mwanamke ana kidonda juu ya kichwa au juu ya kidevu,
30 and the priest look on the sore, and behold, it looketh deeper than the skin, and there is in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a scall, the leprosy of the head or the beard.
kuhani atakichunguza kile kidonda, na kama ataona kuwa kimeingia ndani, na nywele zilizoko juu yake ni njano na nyembamba, kuhani atamtangaza mtu huyo kuwa najisi, kwani ni upele; ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza wa kichwa au kidevu.
31 And if the priest look on the sore of the scall, and behold, it is not in sight deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the sore of the scall seven days.
Lakini kama kuhani akichunguza aina hii ya kidonda, kionekane kuwa hakina shimo na hakuna nywele nyeusi juu yake, basi atamtenga mtu huyo kwa siku saba.
32 And when the priest looketh on the sore on the seventh day, and behold, the scall hath not spread, and there is in it no yellow hair, and the scall doth not look deeper than the skin,
Siku ya saba kuhani atachunguza kidonda kile, na kama upele haujaenea, na hakuna nywele za manjano juu yake, wala hakuna shimo lolote,
33 he [that hath the sore] shall shave himself; but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the scall seven days a second time.
mtu huyo ni lazima anyolewe, isipokuwa mahali palipo na ugonjwa, naye kuhani atamtenga kwa siku nyingine saba.
34 And the priest shall look on the scall on the seventh day, and behold, the scall hath not spread in the skin, nor is in sight deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his garments, and be clean.
Siku ya saba kuhani atachunguza tena ule upele; ikiwa haujaenea kwenye ngozi na hakuna shimo mahali pale, kuhani atamtangaza kuwa safi. Lazima afue nguo zake, naye atakuwa safi.
35 But if the scall have spread much in the skin after his cleansing,
Lakini ikiwa upele utaenea juu ya ngozi baada ya kutangazwa kuwa safi,
36 and the priest shall look on him, and behold, the scall hath spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair: he is unclean.
kuhani atamchunguza, na kama upele umeenea kwenye ngozi, kuhani hana haja ya kutazama kama kuna nywele za manjano, mtu huyo ni najisi.
37 But if the scall have in his sight remained as it was, and there is black hair grown up therein, the scall is healed: he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Hata hivyo, katika uchunguzi wake akiona hapajabadilika, na nywele nyeusi zimeota juu yake, upele umepona. Yeye si najisi, kuhani atamtangaza kuwa safi.
38 And if a man or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, white bright spots,
“Ikiwa mwanaume au mwanamke ana alama nyeupe juu ya ngozi yake,
39 and the priest look, and behold, there are in the skin of their flesh pale white spots, it is an eruption which is broken out in the skin: he is clean.
kuhani atamchunguza, na kama alama hizo zina weupe uliofifia, ni vipele visivyo na madhara vilivyojitokeza kwenye ngozi; mtu huyo ni safi.
40 And if a man's hair have fallen off his head, he is bald: he is clean;
“Wakati mwanaume hana nywele naye ana upaa, yeye ni safi.
41 and if he have the hair fallen off from the part of the head towards his face, he is forehead-bald: he is clean.
Ikiwa hana nywele kwenye ngozi ya kichwa chake, na ana upaa tangu kwenye paji, ni safi.
42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white-reddish sore, it is a leprosy which hath broken out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
Lakini kama ana kidonda chenye wekundu na weupe kwenye kichwa chake chenye upaa, au kwenye paji la uso, ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza unaojitokeza kichwani au kwenye paji lake la uso.
43 And the priest shall look on it, and behold, the rising of the sore is white-reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of the leprosy in the skin of the flesh;
Kuhani atamchunguza, na kama kidonda kilichovimba juu ya kichwa chake au kwenye paji la uso ni chekundu au cheupe kama ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza,
44 he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his sore is in his head.
mtu huyo ni mgonjwa, na ni najisi. Kuhani atamtangaza kuwa najisi kwa sababu ya kidonda kwenye kichwa chake.
45 And as to the leper in whom the sore is, — his garments shall be rent, and his head shall be uncovered, and he shall put a covering on his beard, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean!
“Mtu mwenye ugonjwa kama huo wa kuambukiza ni lazima avae nguo zilizoraruka, awachilie nywele zake bila kuzichana, afunike sehemu ya chini ya uso wake, na apige kelele, ‘Najisi! Najisi!’
46 All the days that the sore shall be in him he shall be unclean: he is unclean; he shall dwell apart; outside the camp shall his dwelling be.
Kwa muda wote atakaokuwa na ugonjwa huo wa kuambukiza atabaki kuwa najisi. Ni lazima aishi peke yake; ni lazima aishi nje ya kambi.
47 And if a sore of leprosy is in a garment, in a woollen garment, or a linen garment,
“Kama vazi lolote lina maambukizo ya upele: likiwa ni vazi la sufu au kitani,
48 either in the warp or in the woof of linen or of wool, or in a skin, or in anything made of skin,
lolote lililofumwa au kusokotwa likiwa la kitani au la sufu, ngozi yoyote au chochote kilichotengenezwa kwa ngozi,
49 and the sore is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is the sore of leprosy, and shall be shewn unto the priest.
tena kama maambukizo kwenye vazi, au ngozi, au lililofumwa au kusokotwa, au kifaa chochote cha ngozi, ni rangi ya kijani au nyekundu, huo ni upele unaoenea na ni lazima kuhani aonyeshwe.
50 And the priest shall look on the sore, and shall shut up [that which hath] the sore seven days.
Kuhani atachunguza upele huo na kukitenga kifaa hicho kwa siku saba.
51 And he shall see the sore on the seventh day: if the sore have spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in a skin, in any work that may be made of skin, the sore is a corroding leprosy: it is unclean.
Siku ya saba atakichunguza, na kama upele umeenea kwenye nguo, au kifaa kilichofumwa au kusokotwa, au ngozi, kwa vyovyote vile itumikavyo, ni upele uangamizao, kifaa hicho ni najisi.
52 And they shall burn the garment, or the warp or the woof, of wool or of linen, or anything of skin, wherein the sore is; for it is a corroding leprosy: it shall be burned with fire.
Ni lazima aichome hiyo nguo, ikiwa ni ya sufu ama kitani iliyofumwa ama kusokotwa, ama chombo chochote cha ngozi chenye maambukizo, kwa kuwa ni upele unaoangamiza; chombo chote ni lazima kichomwe moto.
53 But if the priest look, and behold, the sore hath not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin,
“Lakini wakati kuhani atakapokichunguza na kuona kuwa ule upele haujaenea kwenye nguo iliyofumwa au kusokotwa, au vifaa vya ngozi,
54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the sore is, and he shall shut it up seven days a second time.
ataagiza kwamba kifaa chenye maambukizo kisafishwe. Kisha atakitenga kwa siku saba.
55 And the priest shall look on the sore after the washing, and behold, if the sore have not changed its appearance, and the sore have not spread, it is unclean: thou shalt burn it with fire: it is a fretting sore on what is threadbare or where the nap is gone.
Baada ya kifaa chenye maambukizo kusafishwa, kuhani atakichunguza, na kama upele haujaonyesha badiliko lolote, hata kama haujaenea, ni najisi. Kichome kwa moto, iwe upele umeenea upande mmoja au mwingine.
56 But if the priest look, and behold, the sore hath become pale after the washing of it, then he shall rend it from the garment, or from the skin, or from the warp, or from the woof.
Kama kuhani ataona kuwa ile alama imefifia baada ya kuoshwa, basi atararua sehemu iliyo ambukizwa ya nguo au ngozi au kifaa kilichofumwa au kusokotwa.
57 And if it appear still in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is a [leprosy] breaking out: thou shalt burn with fire that wherein the sore is.
Lakini kama ikijitokeza tena kwenye nguo au kitu kilichofumwa au kusokotwa, ama kifaa cha ngozi, kwamba ule upele unaenea, chochote chenye upele ni lazima kichomwe kwa moto.
58 But the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin which thou hast washed, and the sore departeth from them, it shall be washed a second time, and it is clean.
Nguo, au kitu kilichofumwa au kusokotwa, au kifaa chochote cha ngozi ambacho kimesafishwa na kuondolewa upele, ni lazima kioshwe tena, nacho kitakuwa safi.”
59 This is the law of the sore of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, to cleanse it, or to pronounce it unclean.
Haya ni masharti kuhusu maambukizo ya upele kwenye mavazi ya sufu au kitani, yaliyofumwa ama kusokotwa, ama kifaa chochote cha ngozi, kwa ajili ya kuvitangaza kuwa safi au najisi.
