Leviticus 13

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,

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:

“Sɛ obi hu sɛ biribi ahon ne honam ani, anaa pɔmpɔ anaa atape asi no na adidi akɔ ne honam mu a, onhu sɛ ɛyɛ kwata. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde saa onipa no kɔma ɔsɔfo Aaron anaa ne mmabarima no mu baako

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.

na ɔhwɛ kuru no. Sɛ nwi a esi kuru no hɔ dan yɛ fitaa na kuru no atu atɔ ɔhonam no mu a, na ɛyɛ kwata a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no da no adi sɛ ɔyarefo no yɛ ɔkwatani.

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:

Na sɛ kuru no ntɔɔ ɔhonam no mu na sɛ kuru no hɔ nwi no nso nyɛɛ fitaa a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no yi ɔyarefo no fi nnipa mu nnanson.

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:

Nnanson no du a, ɔsɔfo no bɛhwɛ no bio na sɛ kuru no nsakrae na ɛntrɛwee wɔ ɔhonam no ani a, ɔsɔfo no bɛsan atwa no asu nnanson bio.

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.

Afei ne nnanson so no, ɔsɔfo no bɛhwɛ ne honam ani bio, na sɛ ohu sɛ ɔyare no ano abrɛ ase a ɛntrɛwee a, ɔsɔfo no bɛka ato gua sɛ, ɔyarefo no ho atɔ no; ɔbɛkyerɛ mu sɛ ɛyɛ ntwom bi na eguu no bere tiaa bi mu. Enti sɛ ɔyarefo no horo ne ntama a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ wanya ayaresa awie.

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:

Na sɛ nso ɔyarefo no ba ɔsɔfo no nkyɛn ma ɔhwɛ no na ɔyare no atrɛtrɛw a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsan ba ɔsɔfo no nkyɛn bio

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.

na ɔhwɛ no na sɛ ɔyare no atrɛtrɛw wɔ ɔhonam no ani a, afei, ɔbɛpae mu aka sɛ amanne kwan so no, ne ho ntew na ɛyɛ ɔhonam ani nsanyare.

9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;

“Sɛ obi nya ɔhonam ani nsanyare a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde no kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo na ɔhwɛ no.

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;

Sɛ ɔsɔfo no hu sɛ nwi no bi ayɛ fitaa na kuru atɔ saa beae hɔ a,

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.

na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhonam ani nsanyare, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no de to gua sɛ amanne kwan so no, onipa no ho ntew. Ɛba saa a, wɔnhwehwɛ ɔyare no mu bio, efisɛ ɛda adi pefee sɛ ɔhonam no ayɛ kwata.

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;

“Nanso sɛ ɔsɔfo no hu sɛ kwata no adidi ne honam nyinaa fi ne ti so kosi ne nan ase nyinaa a,

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.

ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se ne ho tew, efisɛ ne honam nyinaa adan ayɛ fitaa.

14 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.

Na sɛ akuru no bi pue ne honam no baabi foforo a, wɔbɛpae mu aka sɛ onipa no yɛ ɔkwatani.

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.

Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka ntɛm ara a ohu kuru wɔ honam no fa baabi, efisɛ akuru no kyerɛ sɛ kwata wɔ ɔhonam no mu.

16 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;

Na sɛ akuru no wu na ɛdan yɛ fitaa sɛ ɔhonam a aka no a, ɔkwatani no bɛkɔ ɔsɔfo no hɔ bio.

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.

Ɔsɔfo no bɛhwɛ no na sɛ ɔhonam no fa hɔ ayɛ fitaa de a, ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka sɛ ne ho atɔ no.

18 The flesh also, in which, [even] in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,

“Sɛ pɔmpɔ si obi na agyae

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;

na sɛ baabi a pɔmpɔ no sii no biribi hyerɛnn bi, anaa nea ɛbere kakra hon wɔ hɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ne ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo.

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.

Na sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ na ɔyare no adidi kɔ ne honam mu na nwi a ɛwɔ ɔhonam no hɔ no ayɛ fitaa a, ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se ɔyarefo no ho ntew, efisɛ kwata apue afi pɔmpɔ no mu.

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:

Nanso sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ na ohu sɛ nwi fitaa biara nni baabi a ɔyare no wɔ hɔ no, na ɔyare no nnidi nkɔɔ honam no mu, na ahosu no yɛ nsonso a ɔsɔfo no beyi no afi nnipa mu nnanson.

22 And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague.

Saa bere no mu sɛ beae hɔ no trɛtrɛw a, ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se, onipa no yare kwata.

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.

Na sɛ beae a ɛhɔ ayɛ hyerɛnn no anhon bio na antrɛtrɛw a, na ɛyɛ pɔmpɔ no twa kɛkɛ enti ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se ne ho tew.

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;

“Sɛ obi hyehyew na sɛ ɔhyehyew no mu yɛ kɔkɔɔ ne fitaa anaa fitaa a,

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.

ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ faako a ɔhyehyew no wɔ. Sɛ nwi a ɛwɔ beae a ɛhɔ nnii dɛm biara no dan yɛ fitaa na sɛ ɛyɛ ade a adidi kɔ ɔhonam no mu a, na ɛyɛ kwata na apue afi ɔhyehyew no mu, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka sɛ onipa no yɛ ɔkwatani.

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:

Na sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ hu sɛ nwi fitaa nni beae a ɛhɔ yɛ hyerɛnn no, na sɛ hyerɛnn no nnidi nkɔɔ ɔhonam no mu, na ɔyare no regyae a, ɔsɔfo no beyi no afi nnipa mu nnanson

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.

na wahwɛ no ne nnanson so bio. Sɛ ɔyare no trɛw fa ɔhonam no ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka se kwata ayɛ onipa no.

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.

Nanso sɛ ɔhonam no fa hɔ a ayɛ hyerɛnn no antrɛtrɛw ɔhonam no ani, na sɛ ɛyɛ sɛ nea ɛhɔ retwintwam no a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyehyew twa bi, enti ɔsɔfo no bɛda no adi sɛ ɔnyare kwata.

29 If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;

“Sɛ kuru da ɔbarima anaa ɔbea bi tirim anaa nʼafono ho a,

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.

ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ; sɛ ɔhwɛ na ohu sɛ ɔyare no adidi kɔ ɔhonam no mu na ɔsan hu nwi a ɛte sɛ akokɔsrade wɔ kuru no mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔpae mu ka se onipa no yare kwata.

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:

Na sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ na ohu sɛ ɔyare no nnidi nkɔɔ ɔhonam no mu, na mmom, ɛwɔ ɔhonam no ani a nwi tuntum wɔ mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ woyi onipa no fi nnipa mu nnanson,

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;

na ne nnanson so no, wɔsan hwɛ no bio. Sɛ ɔyare no ntrɛtrɛwee, na nwi a ɛte sɛ akokɔsrade nnaa ne ho adi wɔ mu na ennidi nkɔɔ ɔhonam no mu a,

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:

ɔbɛtwerɛw nwi a atwa kuru no ho ahyia nyinaa (na mmom ɛnyɛ kuru no mu ankasa) na ɔsɔfo no ayi no afi nnipa mu nnanson bio.

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.

Ne nnanson so no, ɔbɛsan ahwɛ no, na sɛ ɔyare no ntrɛtrɛw nnidi nkɔɔ ɔhonam no mu a, ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se onipa no ho atew na sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama wie a, na afei wadi mu.

35 But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;

Na sɛ akyiri no saa ɔyare no trɛtrɛw a,

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.

ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ no bio a ɔhwɛ sɛ nwi a ɛte sɛ akokɔsrade fra ɔyare no mu na ɔpae mu ka se, onipa no yare kwata.

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.

Na sɛ ɔyare no trɛw a ɛtrɛtrɛw no gyae na sɛ nwi tuntum fuw wɔ beae hɔ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ne ho atɔ no a kwata biara nni ne ho enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka se ne ho atew.

38 If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, [even] white bright spots;

“Sɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbea bi honam ani yɛ fitaa hanahana,

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.

na akyiri no ɔhonam no ani dum ara na ɛredum a, na ɛnkyerɛ sɛ kwata ayɛ onipa no, na mmom, ɛyɛ ɔyare foforo bi.

40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he [is] bald; [yet is] he clean.

“Sɛ obi ti so pa a, ɛwɔ mu sɛ ne ti so apa de, nanso ɛno nkyerɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkwatani!

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.

Sɛ obi ti so pa fi ne moma so a, na ne moma so ara na apa, na ɛnkyerɛ sɛ ɛyɛ kwata.

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.

Na mmom, sɛ nsisii akɔkɔɔ a fitaa frafra mu wɔ tipae no so a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ebia kwata pɛ sɛ ɛyɛ saa onipa no.

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;

Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔsɔfo no bɛhwɛ no na sɛ biribi kɔkɔɔ aboa ne ho baabi te sɛ kwata a,

44 He is a leprous man, he [is] unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague [is] in his head.

na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, kwata ayɛ no, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka se, onipa no yare kwata.

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.

“Onipa biara a wobehu sɛ ɔyare kwata no, ɛsɛ sɛ ofura ntama a atetew na ɔma ne tinwi fuw, twa mpɛsɛmpɛsɛ na ɔkata nʼanim fa na ɔnam a ɔteɛteɛ mu se, ‘Me ho ntew! Me ho ntew!’

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].

Na nna dodow a ɔyare no nkɔe no de, wɔbɛfa ɔyarefo no sɛ ne ho ntew enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtena kurow no akyi baabi.

47 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, [whether it be] a woollen garment, or a linen garment;

“Sɛ kwata ho nsɛnkyerɛnne bi ka atade,

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;

kuntutam anaa nweratam, aboa nhoma anaa biribiara a wɔde aboa nwoma ayɛ mu,

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:

na sɛ nsisii ahabammono anaa kɔkɔɔ wɔ mu a, ebia na ɛyɛ kwata, enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde kɔma ɔsɔfo na ɔhwɛ.

50 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up [it that hath] the plague seven days:

Ɔsɔfo no de bɛkɔ akosie nnanson.

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.

Nnanson so no, wasan ahwɛ bio. Na sɛ ohu sɛ nsisii no atrɛtrɛw a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɛyɛ kwata a etumi san nnipa.

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.

Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ogya hyew ntama, kuntu ne ntadetam ne aboa nwoma no nyinaa, efisɛ, ɛnam eyinom so betumi ama ɔyare no asan nnipa.

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;

“Na sɛ ne nnanson so no ɔhwɛ na sɛ nsisii no ntrɛtrɛwee a,

54 Then the priest shall command that they wash [the thing] wherein the plague [is], and he shall shut it up seven days more:

ɔsɔfo no bɛhyɛ ama wɔahoro nneɛma a wodwen sɛ ɔyare no bi wɔ mu no no nyinaa na wɔakora no baabi bio nnanson.

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.

Sɛ nnanson bio akyi faako a ɔyare no wɔ hɔ no nsesaa nʼahosu na ɛntrɛwee a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ ɛyɛ kwata nti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyew ade no, efisɛ ɔyare no adidi kɔ mu ara yiye.

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:

Na sɛ ɔsɔfo no hu sɛ nneɛmahoro no akyi, nsisii no ano abrɛ ase a, obetwa hɔ afi ntama anaa aboa nwoma a wɔde adi dwuma bi no mu.

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.

Na sɛ ɛsan ba bio de a, na ɛyɛ kwata enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyew no.

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.

Sɛ wɔhoro na asɛm biara amma ho a, wotumi de di dwuma biara bere a wɔasan ahoro no.”

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.

Eyinom ne mmara a ɛfa kwata a ɛwɔ ntama anaa biribiara a wɔde aboa nhoma ayɛ a wɔnam so da no adi sɛ kwata wɔ dekode no mu anaa bi nni mu no ho.
