Leviticus 13
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
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.
“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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 And if a man have a plague of leprosy, then he shall come to the priest;
“Sɛ obi nya ɔhonam ani nsanyare a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde no kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo na ɔhwɛ no.
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—
Sɛ ɔsɔfo no hu sɛ nwi no bi ayɛ fitaa na kuru atɔ saa beae hɔ a,
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.
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 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;
“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 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.
ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se ne ho tew, efisɛ ne honam nyinaa adan ayɛ fitaa.
14 But on whatever day the quick flesh shall appear on him, he shall be pronounced 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 look upon the sound flesh, and the sound flesh shall prove him to be unclean; for it 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 But if the sound flesh be restored and changed [to] white, then shall he come to 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 is turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the patient clean: 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 And if the flesh should have become an ulcer in his skin, and should be healed,
“Sɛ pɔmpɔ si obi na agyae
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;
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 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.
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, and behold there is no white hair on it, and it be not below the skin of the flesh, and it be dark-colored; then the priest shall separate him 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 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.
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 should remain in its place and not spread, it is the scar of the ulcer; 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 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;
“Sɛ obi hyehyew na sɛ ɔhyehyew no mu yɛ kɔkɔɔ ne fitaa anaa fitaa a,
25 then the priest shall look upon him, and, behold, [if] the hair being white is changed to a bright color, 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And if a man or a woman have in them a plague of leprosy in the head or the beard;
“Sɛ kuru da ɔbarima anaa ɔbea bi tirim anaa nʼafono ho a,
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.
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 scurf be indeed spread in the skin after he has been purified,
Na sɛ akyiri no saa ɔyare no trɛtrɛw a,
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.
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 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.
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 And if a man or woman should have in the skin of their flesh spots of a bright whiteness,
“Sɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbea bi honam ani yɛ fitaa hanahana,
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.
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 if any one's head should lose the hair, he is [only] bald, he is clean.
“Sɛ obi ti so pa a, ɛwɔ mu sɛ ne ti so apa de, nanso ɛno nkyerɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkwatani!
41 And if his head should lose the hair in front, he is forehead bald: he is 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 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.
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 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,
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: the priest shall surely pronounce him 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, 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.
“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 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.
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 And if a garment have in it the plague of leprosy, a garment of wool, or a garment of flax,
“Sɛ kwata ho nsɛnkyerɛnne bi ka atade,
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,
kuntutam anaa nweratam, aboa nhoma anaa biribiara a wɔde aboa nwoma ayɛ mu,
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.
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 the priest shall set apart [that which has] the plague seven days.
Ɔsɔfo no de bɛkɔ akosie nnanson.
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.
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 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.
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 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,
“Na sɛ ne nnanson so no ɔhwɛ na sɛ nsisii no ntrɛtrɛwee a,
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Na sɛ ɛsan ba bio de a, na ɛyɛ kwata enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyew no.
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.
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 of a woollen or linen garment, either of the warp, or woof, or any leather article, to pronounce it clean or 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.
