Leviticus 13
1 AND the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron bena,
2 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:
“Ne ame aɖe kpɔ nutete alo dzi alo teƒe aɖe si fu le eƒe ŋutilã ŋu si ate ŋu azu ŋutilã ƒe dɔxɔleameŋu la, woakplɔe ayi nunɔla Aron alo Via ŋutsu siwo nye nunɔlawo la dometɔ ɖeka gbɔ.
3 And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
Nunɔla la alé ŋku ɖe abi si le eƒe ŋutigbalẽ ŋu la ŋu. Ne ŋutifu si le teƒea fu, eye teƒea nye ɖe eme vie la, ekema anyie. Nunɔla la atso nya me be anyidzela la ŋu mekɔ o.
4 If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:
Ke ne teƒe si fu kpii la menye ɖe eme vie o, eye fu si le teƒea mefu o la, ekema nunɔla la aɖee ɖe aga ŋkeke adre.
5 And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
Le ŋkeke adrea gbe la, nunɔla la agadoe akpɔ. Ne teƒea metrɔ o, eye megakeke ɖe edzi hã o la, ekema nunɔla la aɖee ɖe aga ŋkeke adre bubu.
6 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
Nunɔla la agadoe akpɔ le ŋkeke adre evelia gbe. Ne dɔléle la dzi ka ɖe, eye teƒea megakeke ɖe edzi o la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be amea ŋuti kɔ, dzi koe ƒo ɖe eŋu. Nu si amea awɔ la koe nye wòanya eƒe awuwo, eye eƒe ŋuti akɔ,
7 But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again:
gake nenye be dzi la keke ɖe edzi le eƒe ŋutigbalẽ ŋu esi wòtsɔ eɖokui fia nunɔla la be wòagblɔ be eŋuti kɔ vɔ megbe la, ele nɛ be wòagbugbɔ ayi nunɔla la gbɔ.
8 And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.
Eye nunɔla la agadoe kpɔ. Ne teƒea keke ɖe edzi la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti mekɔ o, kpodɔe wòdze.
9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;
“Ne ame aɖe dze ŋutigbalẽdɔ si woate ŋu axɔ le ame ŋu la, woakplɔe ayi nunɔla gbɔe.
10 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising;
Nunɔla la alé ŋku ɖe eŋu eye ne nutete ɣi aɖe le eƒe ŋutilã ŋu la,
11 It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean.
ekema eme kɔ ƒãa be anyie, eye nunɔla la naɖe gbeƒã be eŋu mekɔ o. Mele be woagatu amea ɖe xɔ me be woagalé ŋku ɖe eŋu o, elabena eme kɔ ƒãa be edze dɔ la.
12 And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;
“Ke ne nunɔla la kpɔ be kpodɔ la xɔ ŋuti katã na amea, tso eƒe tame yi eƒe afɔ gbɔ,
13 Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.
kple afi sia afi si wòakpɔ ɖa le la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti kɔ, nenye be eŋuti katã fu kpii la, ekema eŋuti kɔ le se la nu.
14 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
Ke ne eƒe ŋutilã ƒe teƒe aɖe ƒlɔ la, ekema efia be edze kpodɔ.
15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.
Nunɔla la agalé ŋku ɖe eŋu, eye ne ekpɔ be eƒe ŋutilã ƒe akpa aɖe ƒlɔ la, ekema aɖe gbeƒã be ame la dze kpodɔ. Ŋutilã ƒe ƒɔƒlɔ fia be amea le kpodɔ lém, eya ta eŋuti mekɔ o.
16 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;
Gake ne ŋutilã ƒe akpa si ƒlɔ la ɖɔ ɖo, eye wòle abe ŋutilãa ƒe akpa bubuawo ene la, ame la atrɔ ayi ɖe nunɔla la gbɔ,
17 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.
eye nunɔla la agadoe akpɔ. Nenye be teƒe ƒɔƒlɔ la ɖɔ ɖo abe ŋutilãa ƒe akpa bubuwo ene la, ekema eŋuti kɔ le se la nu, eye nunɔla la aɖe gbeƒã be eŋuti kɔ.
18 The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,
“Ne ƒoƒoe ƒo ame aɖe ƒe ŋutigbalẽ, wòɖi tsi vɔ,
19 And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;
eye le teƒe si ƒoƒoe la ƒo nɛ nu ƒoƒoe wuliwuli aɖewo ƒo ɖi esiwo le ɣie alo le nu dzĩ kple nu ɣi dome la, ele nɛ be wòatsɔ eɖokui afia nunɔlaa.
20 And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.
Ne nunɔla la doe kpɔ, eye wòkpɔ be dɔléle la tso keke eƒe lãme, ke eye fu si le teƒea fu kpii la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be, eŋuti mekɔ o, elabena edze kpodɔ to ƒoƒoe la teƒe.
21 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
Ke ne nunɔla la kpɔ be fu ɣi aɖeke mele teƒea o, eye teƒea hã menye ɖe eme o, ke teƒea le fufu kple nyɔnyɔ dome la, ekema nunɔla la aɖee ɖe aga ŋkeke adre.
22 And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
Ne teƒea keke ɖe edzi le ŋkeke adre mawo me la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti mekɔ o, ezu kpodɔléla.
23 But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Ke ne teƒea mekeke ɖe edzi o la, ekema ƒoƒoe la ƒe abiteƒe koe. Nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti kɔ.
24 Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;
“Ne dzo me ame aɖe ƒe ŋutigbalẽ, eye emegbe teƒea biã loo alo le biabiã kple fufu dome alo fu kpii le teƒe si dzoa me na amea la,
25 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
ele be nunɔla la nalé ŋku ɖe teƒea ŋu. Ne fu si le teƒea fu, eye wòdze abe dɔléle la tso amea ƒe lãme ke ene la, ekema woanya be amea dze kpodɔ to dzobi la teƒe, eye nunɔla la aɖe gbeƒã be eŋuti mekɔ o, edze anyi.
26 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
Ke ne nunɔla la kpɔ be fu ɣi aɖeke mele teƒea o, teƒea ƒe biabia metso amea ƒe lãme ke o, eye eƒe amadede dzi nɔ ɖeɖem kpɔtɔ la, ekema nunɔla la atui ɖe xɔ me ŋkeke adre,
27 And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
eye wòagadoe kpɔ le ŋkeke adrea gbe. Ne teƒea keke ɖe edzi la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋu mekɔ o, edze kpodɔ.
28 And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning.
Ke ne teƒe biabiã la medze le teƒe bubu aɖeke loo alo keke ɖe edzi o, eye eƒe biabiã dzi ɖe kpɔtɔ la, ekema wòanya be dzobi la ƒe abiteƒe koe. Ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti kɔ, dzobi la teƒe koe ɖi atse.
29 If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
“Ne ŋutsu alo nyɔnu aɖe dze abi ɖe ta alo glã la,
30 Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard.
nunɔla alé ŋku ɖe abi la ŋu. Ne abi la teƒe dze abe ɖe wòde eme wu amea ƒe ŋutilã, ɖa si le afi ma ƒe amadede le abe aŋutiɖiɖi ene, eye wòle belie la, nunɔla la aɖe gbeƒã be amea ŋuti mekɔ o; enye ta alo glã ƒe dɔléle.
31 And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:
Ke ne nunɔla la kpɔ be ŋutigbalẽ la ŋuti ko abi la dzɔ tso, eye ɖa yibɔ le abia me la, ekema atui ɖe xɔ me ŋkeke adre,
32 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than the skin;
eye wòagadoe kpɔ le ŋkeke adrea gbe. Ne teƒe la mekeke ɖe edzi o, ne fu si le afi ma ƒe amadede meɖi aŋuti ɖiɖi tɔ o, eye ne medze be dɔléle aɖee tso eƒe lãme ke o la,
33 He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:
ekema nunɔla la aƒlɔ ɖa, aƒo xlã teƒe la, ke menye le teƒea ŋutɔ o. Nunɔla la agatui ɖe xɔ me ŋkeke adre bubu,
34 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
eye wòagadoe kpɔ le ŋkeke adrea gbe. Ne teƒe la mekeke ɖe edzi o, eye medze abe dɔléle la tso ŋutigbalẽ la te o ene la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be medze kpodɔ o. Ekema ne enya eƒe awuwo ko la, eŋuti kɔ.
35 But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
Ke ne teƒe la de asi keke me ɖe edzi emegbe la,
36 Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.
ekema nunɔla la agadoe kpɔ, eye magalala be yeakpɔ be ɖa ƒe amadede trɔ ɖi aŋuti ɖiɖi hafi wòatso nya me be amea dze kpodɔ o.
37 But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Gake ne edze be teƒe la megale kekem ɖe edzi o, eye ɖa yibɔ le teƒea la, ekema dɔléle la nu tso, amea menye kpodɔléla o, eya ta nunɔla la atso nya me be eƒe ŋuti kɔ.
38 If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;
“Ne ŋutsu aɖe alo nyɔnu aɖe ƒe ŋutilã ƒe akpa aɖewo fu kpii,
39 Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.
eye teƒe la ƒe fufu dzi le ɖeɖem kpɔtɔ la, ekema amea medze anyi o, ke boŋ dɔléle aɖe koe ƒo ɖe eŋu.
40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.
“Womatsɔ ame aɖeke ƒe ɖa ƒe bebe le ta nɛ abe anyidzedze ene o!
41 And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.
Ne ɖa vɔ le ame aɖe ƒe ŋgonu la, ekema amea ƒe ŋgoe kpã: esia menye anyidzedze o.
42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
Ke ne teƒe aɖe le biabiã kple fufu dome le ta kpakpã la teƒe la, ekema anye kpodɔ dzem wòle.
43 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
Ekema nunɔla la adoe akpɔ. Ne teƒe la le kpokploo, mebiã tututu o, eye mefu tututu abe kpodɔ ƒe dzesi ene o hã la,
44 He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.
ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be amea dze kpodɔ.
45 And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
“Ele na ame si wokpɔ be edze kpodɔ la be wòadze eƒe awuwo, ana eƒe taɖa nato ʋutuu, wòatsyɔ nu eƒe nuyi dziƒotɔ dzi, eye wòanɔ yiyim anɔ ɣli dom be, ‘Nye ŋuti mekɔ o, nye ŋuti mekɔ o!’
46 All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.
Ŋkeke ale si dɔléle la le eŋu ko la, eŋuti mekɔ o. Ele be wòanɔ asaɖa la godo.”
47 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
“Ne nane dze le nudodo alo nutata aɖe me, eɖanye lãfu tɔ alo ɖeti tɔ,
48 Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;
alo nu si wolɔ̃ kple ɖeti alo lãfu,
49 And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:
eye aŋgbamu alo ama dzĩ teƒe aɖe le eme la, anye kpodɔ. Ekema woatsɔ nu la ayi na nunɔla wòadoe akpɔ.
50 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days:
Nunɔla la atsɔ nu la adzra ɖo ŋkeke adre,
51 And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.
eye wòagalé ŋku ɖe eŋu le ŋkeke adrea gbe. Ne teƒe la keke ɖe edzi la, ekema kpodɔ si woate ŋu axɔ lae.
52 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.
Ekema ele be nunɔla la natɔ dzo awu la, avɔ la alo nu si wolɔ̃ kple lãfu, ɖeti alo lãgbalẽ la, elabena woate ŋu axɔ kpodɔ la, eya ta ele be woatɔ dzoe.
53 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
“Ke ne nunɔla la lé ŋku ɖe eŋu le ŋkeke adrea gbe, eye wòkpɔ be teƒe la mekeke ɖe edzi o la,
54 Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
ekema ana woanya alo aklɔ nu la, eye wòatsɔe adzra ɖo ŋkeke adre.
55 And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without.
Le ŋkeke adrea megbe, ne teƒe la ƒe amadede metrɔ o, togbɔ be teƒe la mekeke ɖe edzi o hã la, efia be kpodɔe, eya ta ele be woatɔ dzoe, elabena kpodɔ le eme.
56 And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
Ne nunɔla la kpɔ be teƒe la ƒe amadede klo le nua nyanya megbe la, ekema alã teƒe la ɖa le avɔ la, lãgbalẽnu alo nu lɔlɔ̃ la me.
57 And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire.
Ke ne wogakpɔ dzesi ma le nu lɔlɔ̃a me la, ekema kpodɔe: ele be nunɔla la natɔ dzoe.
58 And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.
Ke ne dzesi ma megadze le nu lɔlɔ̃a nyanya vɔ megbe o la, woaganyae, eye woagate ŋu awɔ eŋu dɔ azɔ.”
59 This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
Esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe kpodɔ ƒe avɔ si wolɔ̃ kple lãfu alo ɖeti me nɔnɔ ŋuti. Wofia ale si woawɔ aka ɖe edzi be kpodɔléle la le eme loo alo mele eme o.
