< Leviticus 13 >

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị ha,
2 “When a man has a rising, or scab, or bright spot in the skin of his flesh, and it has become a leprous plague in the skin of his flesh, then he has been brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests;
“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 the priest has seen the plague in the skin of the flesh, and the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague [is] deeper than the skin of his flesh—it [is] a plague of leprosy, and the priest has seen him, and has pronounced him unclean.
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 And if the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest has shut up [him who has] the plague [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 the priest has seen him on the seventh day, and behold, the plague has stood in his eyes, the plague has not spread in the skin, and the priest has shut him up [for] a second 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 the priest has seen him on the second seventh day, and behold, the plague has faded, and the plague has not spread in the skin, and the priest has pronounced him clean; it [is] a scab, and he has washed his garments, and has been 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 And if the scab spreads greatly in the skin, after his being seen by the priest for his cleansing, then he has been seen a second time by the priest;
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 the priest has seen, and behold, the scab has spread in the skin, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] leprosy.
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 When a plague of leprosy is in a man, then he has been 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 the priest has seen, and behold, a white rising in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and a quickening of raw flesh [is] in the rising—
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 [is] an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; he does not shut him up, for he [is] 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 And if the leprosy breaks out greatly in the skin, and the leprosy has covered all the skin of [him who has] the plague, from his head even to his feet, to all that appears to the eyes of the priest,
“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 then the priest has seen, and behold, the leprosy has covered all his flesh, and he has pronounced [him who has] the plague clean; it has all turned white; he [is] 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 And in the day of raw flesh being seen in him, he is unclean;
Ma ọ bụrụ na e nwere akụkụ ahụ ya ọnya ọ hụrụ pụtara, ọ ga-agụ ya dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha.
15 and the priest has seen the raw flesh, and has pronounced him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean—it [is] leprosy.
Onye nchụaja ga-enyocha ọnya ahụ. Kwupụta na onye ahụ rụrụ arụ. Ọnya ahụ rụrụ arụ nʼihi na ọrịa ekpenta ka ọ bụ.
16 Or when the raw flesh turns back, and has been turned to white, then he has come to the priest,
Ọ bụrụ nʼọnya ahụ agbanwe na-acha ọcha, ha ga-agakwuru onye nchụaja.
17 and the priest has seen him, and behold, the plague has been turned to white, and the priest has pronounced clean [him who has] the plague; he [is] 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 And when flesh has in it, in its skin, an ulcer, and it has been healed,
“Ọ bụrụ na etuto toro mmadụ nʼahụ alaa,
19 and there has been in the place of the ulcer a white rising, or a bright white spot, reddish, then it has been seen by 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 the priest has seen, and behold, its appearance [is] lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy—it has broken out in an 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 And if the priest sees it, and behold, there is no white hair in it, and it is not lower than the skin, and has faded, then the priest has shut him up [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 spreads greatly in the skin, then the priest has pronounced him unclean—it [is] a plague;
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 and if the bright spot stays in its place—it has not spread—it [is] an inflammation of the ulcer; and the priest has pronounced him 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 Or when flesh has a fiery burning in its skin, and the quickening of the burning, the bright white spot, has been reddish or white,
“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 and the priest has seen it, and behold, the hair has turned white in the bright spot, and its appearance [is] deeper than the skin, it [is] leprosy; it has broken out in the burning, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy.
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 And if the priest sees it, and behold, there is no white hair on the bright spot, and it is not lower than the skin, and it has faded, then the priest has shut him up [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 the priest has seen him on the seventh day, [and] if it spreads greatly in the skin, then the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy.
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 And if the bright spot stays in its place, it has not spread in the skin, and has faded; it [is] a rising of the burning, and the priest has pronounced him clean; for it [is] inflammation of the burning.
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 And when a man (or a woman) has a plague in him, in the head or in the beard,
“Ọ bụrụ na nwoke maọbụ nwanyị ọbụla enwee ọnya nʼisi, maọbụ na nti ya,
30 then the priest has seen the plague, and behold, its appearance is deeper than the skin, and a thin, shining hair [is] in it, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a scale—it [is] a leprosy of the head or of 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 And when the priest sees the scaly plague, and behold, its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest has shut up [him who has] the scaly plague [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 the priest has seen the plague on the seventh day, and behold, the scale has not spread, and a shining hair has not been in it, and the appearance of the scale is not deeper than the skin,
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 then he has shaved himself, but he does not shave the scale; and the priest has shut up [him who has] the scale [for] a second 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 And the priest has seen the scale on the seventh day, and behold, the scale has not spread in the skin, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and the priest has pronounced him clean, and he has washed his garments, and has been 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 And if the scale spreads greatly in the skin after his cleansing,
Ma ọ bụrụ na mgbe a gụchara ya nʼonye dị ọcha ọnya ahụ emesịa basaa nʼahụ ya.
36 and the priest has seen him, and behold, the scale has spread in the skin, the priest does not seek for the shining hair—he is 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 and if in his eyes the scale has stayed, and black hair has sprung up in it, the scale has been healed—he [is] clean—and the priest has pronounced 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 And when a man or woman has bright spots in the skin of their flesh, white bright spots,
“Mgbe nwoke maọbụ nwanyị ọbụla nwere ntụpọ ọcha nʼanụ ahụ ya,
39 and the priest has seen, and behold, white [and] faded bright spots [are] in the skin of their flesh—it [is] a freckled spot broken out in the skin; he [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 And when a man’s head [is] polished, he [is] bald; he [is] clean;
“Mgbe ajị na-adịghịkwa nwoke nʼisi, ọ bụ isi nkwọcha, onye ahụ dị ọcha.
41 and if his head is polished from the corner of his face, he [is] bald of the forehead; he [is] clean.
Otu aka ahụ, ọ bụrụ na isi ya esite nʼegedege ihu ya kwọchasịa, ọ bụghị ekpenta, onye dị ọcha ka ọ bụ.
42 And when there is in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague, it [is] a leprosy breaking out in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead;
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 has seen him, and behold, the rising of the reddish-white plague in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead, [is] as the appearance of leprosy, in the skin of the flesh,
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 he [is] a leprous man—he [is] unclean; the priest pronounces him utterly unclean; his plague [is] in his head.
Onye nchụaja ga-agụ ya dịka onye ekpenta. Ọ bụkwa onye rụrụ arụ, nʼihi ọnya ahụ dị ya nʼisi.
45 As for the leper in whom [is] the plague, his garments are torn, and his head is uncovered, and he covers over the upper lip, and he calls, Unclean! Unclean!
“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 He is unclean all the days that the plague [is] in him; he [is] unclean. He dwells alone; his dwelling [is] at the outside of 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 And when there is a plague of leprosy in any garment—in a garment of wool, or in a garment of linen,
“Ọ bụrụ na a hụrụ ntụpọ yiri ntụpọ ọrịa na-efe efe nʼuwe ajị anụ maọbụ nʼuwe ogho ọcha,
48 or in the warp, or in the woof, of linen or of wool, or in a skin, or in any work of 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 and the plague has been greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it [is] a plague of leprosy, and it has been 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 the priest has seen the plague, and has shut up [that which has] the plague [for] seven days;
Onye nchụaja ga-ele ya anya, were ya debe ya iche ụbọchị asaa.
51 and he has seen the plague on the seventh day, and the plague has spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, of all that is made of skin for work, the plague [is] a fretting leprosy; it [is] unclean.
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 he has burned the garment, or the warp, or the woof, in wool or in linen, or any vessel of skin in which the plague is; for it [is] a fretting leprosy; it is burned with fire.
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 And if the priest sees, and behold, the plague has not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin,
“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 then the priest has commanded, and they have washed that in which the plague [is], and he has shut it up [for] a second seven days.
Ọ ga-enye iwu ka a saa ihe ndị ahụ niile mmiri, wezugakwa ya iche ruo ụbọchị asaa ọzọ.
55 And the priest has seen [that which has] the plague after it has been washed, and behold, the plague has not changed its aspect, and the plague has not spread—it [is] unclean; you burn it with fire; it [is] a fretting in its back-part or in its front-part.
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 And if the priest has seen, and behold, the plague has faded after it has been washed, then he has torn it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;
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 and if it is still seen in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it [is] a fretting; you burn it with fire—that in which the plague [is].
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 And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or any vessel of skin which you wash when the plague has turned aside from them, then it has been washed a second time, and has been 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 of a plague of leprosy [in] a garment of wool or of linen, or of the warp or of the woof, or of any vessel of skin, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.”
