Leviticus 13
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
El Señor le dijo a Moisés y a Aarón:
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;
“Cualquiera que tenga una hinchazón, un sarpullido o una mancha en la piel que pueda ser una enfermedad infecciosa de la piel debe ser llevado a Aarón el sacerdote o a uno de sus descendientes.
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.
El sacerdote inspeccionará lo que sea que esté en la piel. Si el pelo se ha vuelto blanco y si el problema parece ser más que algo en la superficie, es una enfermedad grave de la piel, y el sacerdote que lo inspeccione declarará a la persona impura.
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.
“Pero si la mancha es sólo una decoloración blanca y no parece ser más que superficial, y si el pelo de la mancha no se ha vuelto blanco, el sacerdote pondrá a la persona en aislamiento durante siete días.
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.
Al séptimo día el sacerdote realizará otra inspección, y si descubre que la mancha no ha cambiado y no se ha extendido sobre la piel, el sacerdote debe poner a la persona en aislamiento durante otros siete días.
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.
Al séptimo día después de esto el sacerdote lo inspeccionará de nuevo. Si la mancha se ha desvanecido y no se ha extendido sobre la piel, el sacerdote declarará a la persona limpia ya que era un sarpullido. Deben lavar su ropa y estarán limpios.
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;
Sin embargo, si el sarpullido se extiende después de que la persona ha sido inspeccionada por el sacerdote y ha sido declarada limpia, la persona debe volver para ser inspeccionada de nuevo.
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.
Si el sacerdote descubre que el sarpullido se ha propagado, debe declarar a la persona impura porque es ciertamente una enfermedad de la piel.
9 When a plague of leprosy is in a man, then he has been brought to the priest,
“Cualquier persona que desarrolle una enfermedad infecciosa de la piel debe ser llevada al sacerdote.
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—
El sacerdote los inspeccionará, y si hay una hinchazón blanca en la piel y el pelo se ha vuelto blanco, y hay una herida abierta en la hinchazón,
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.
es una enfermedad grave de la piel y el sacerdote debe declararlos inmundos. No necesita poner a la persona en aislamiento porque sea impura.
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,
“Sin embargo, si la enfermedad de la piel afecta a toda su piel de manera que cubre su piel de la cabeza a los pies, en todos los lugares que el sacerdote pueda ver,
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.
el sacerdote los inspeccionará, y si la enfermedad ha cubierto todo su cuerpo, declarará a la persona limpia. Como todo se ha vuelto blanco, están limpios.
14 And in the day of raw flesh being seen in him, he is unclean;
Pero si al inspeccionar a alguien se encuentra una herida abierta, serán inmundos.
15 and the priest has seen the raw flesh, and has pronounced him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean—it [is] leprosy.
Cuando el sacerdote descubre una herida abierta, debe declarar a la persona impura. La herida abierta es impura; es una enfermedad infecciosa de la piel.
16 Or when the raw flesh turns back, and has been turned to white, then he has come to the priest,
Pero si la herida abierta se cura y se vuelve blanca, la persona debe volver al sacerdote.
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.
El sacerdote los inspeccionará de nuevo, y si la herida se ha vuelto blanca, el sacerdote debe declarar a la persona limpia; entonces están limpios.
18 And when flesh has in it, in its skin, an ulcer, and it has been healed,
“Cuando un forúnculo aparece en la piel de una persona y luego se cura,
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,
y en su lugar aparece una hinchazón blanca o una mancha blanca-rojiza, debe mostrarse al sacerdote.
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.
El sacerdote lo inspeccionará, y si parece ser más que algo en la superficie, y si el pelo allí se ha vuelto blanco, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es una enfermedad grave de la piel que ha infectado el furúnculo.
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;
Sin embargo, si cuando el sacerdote lo inspeccione, no tiene pelo blanco en él y no parece ser más que superficial, y se ha desvanecido, el sacerdote deberá poner a la persona en aislamiento durante siete días.
22 and if it spreads greatly in the skin, then the priest has pronounced him unclean—it [is] a plague;
Si entonces la mancha se ha extendido más en la piel, el sacerdote las declarará impuras; es una enfermedad.
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.
Pero si la mancha permanece igual y no se extiende, es sólo la cicatriz del furúnculo, y el sacerdote las declarará limpias.
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,
“Si alguien tiene una quemadura en la piel y donde está abierta se convierte en una mancha blanca o rojiza,
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.
el sacerdote debe revisarla. Si el vello que crecesobre la mancha se ha vuelto blanco y la mancha parece ser más profunda, es una enfermedad grave de la piel que ha infectado la quemadura, y el sacerdote que la inspeccione declarará a la persona impura. Es una enfermedad infecciosa de la piel.
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;
Sin embargo, si cuando el sacerdote la inspeccione, no tiene pelo blanco en ella y no parece ser más que superficial, y se ha desvanecido, el sacerdote deberá poner a la persona en aislamiento durante siete días.
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.
Al séptimo día el sacerdote examinará a la persona de nuevo. Si entonces la mancha se ha extendido más en la piel, el sacerdote la declarará impura; es una enfermedad grave de la piel.
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.
Pero si la mancha permanece igual y no se ha extendido sobre la piel, sino que se ha desvanecido, es la hinchazón de la quemadura, y el sacerdote los declarará limpios porque es sólo la cicatriz de la quemadura.
29 And when a man (or a woman) has a plague in him, in the head or in the beard,
“Si alguien, hombre o mujer, tiene una llaga en la cabeza o en el mentón,
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.
el sacerdote la inspeccionará, y si parece ser más que superficial y el pelo en ella se ha vuelto pálido y fino, el sacerdote debe declararlos inmundos; es una infección que produce costras, una enfermedad grave de la cabeza o del mentón.
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.
Sin embargo, si el sacerdote inspecciona la infección de la costra y no parece ser más que superficial y no tiene vello pálido, el sacerdote debe poner a la persona en aislamiento durante siete días.
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,
El séptimo día el sacerdote inspeccionará a la persona de nuevo y si la infección de la costra no se ha extendido y no hay pelo pálido en ella, y no parece ser más que superficial,
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.
entonces la persona debe afeitarse excepto en la zona escamosa. El sacerdote debe poner a la persona en aislamiento por otros siete días.
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.
Al séptimo día el sacerdote inspeccionará la infección de la costra, y si no se ha extendido en la piel y no parece ser más que superficial, el sacerdote debe declarar a la persona limpia. Deben lavar su ropa y estarán limpios.
35 And if the scale spreads greatly in the skin after his cleansing,
Sin embargo, si la infección de la costra se ha propagado en la piel después de haber sido declarada limpia,
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;
el sacerdote debe inspeccionarlos, y si la infección de la costra se ha propagado efectivamente en la piel, el sacerdote no necesita comprobar si hay pelo pálido; la persona está impura.
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.
Pero si el sacerdote ve que la infección de la costra no ha cambiado, y le ha crecido pelo negro, entonces se ha curado. La persona está limpia, y el sacerdote debe declararlo.
38 And when a man or woman has bright spots in the skin of their flesh, white bright spots,
Si alguien, hombre o mujer, tiene manchas blancas en la piel,
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.
el sacerdote las inspeccionará, y si las manchas aparecen de un blanco apagado, es sólo un sarpullido que se ha desarrollado en la piel; la persona está limpia.
40 And when a man’s head [is] polished, he [is] bald; he [is] clean;
“Si un hombre pierde el pelo y se queda calvo, sigue estando limpio.
41 and if his head is polished from the corner of his face, he [is] bald of the forehead; he [is] clean.
Si tiene un retroceso del cabello y se queda calvo en la frente, sigue estando limpio.
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;
Pero si aparece una llaga rojiblanca en su cabeza o frente calva, es una enfermedad infecciosa que se está desarrollando.
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,
El sacerdote debe inspeccionarlo, y si la hinchazón de la llaga en su calva o frente se ve rojiblanca como una enfermedad de la piel,
44 he [is] a leprous man—he [is] unclean; the priest pronounces him utterly unclean; his plague [is] in his head.
entonces tiene una enfermedad infecciosa; está sucio. El sacerdote debe declararlo impuro por la infección en su cabeza.
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!
“Cualquiera que tenga tales enfermedades debe usar desgarrada y dejar que su cabello permanezca despeinado. Debe cubrirse la cara y gritar: ‘¡Inmundo, inmundo!’
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.
Permanecen inmundos mientras dure la infección. Tienen que vivir solos en algún lugar fuera del campamento.
47 And when there is a plague of leprosy in any garment—in a garment of wool, or in a garment of linen,
“Las siguientes reglamentaciones se refieren a cualquier material que se vea afectado por el moho, como la ropa de lana o lino,
48 or in the warp, or in the woof, of linen or of wool, or in a skin, or in any work of skin—
cualquier cosa tejida o de punto hecha de lino o lana, o cualquier cosa hecha de cuero:
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.
Si la mancha es verde o roja en el material, ya sea cuero, tejido o tejido de punto o algún otro artículo de cuero, entonces está infectado con moho y debe ser mostrado al sacerdote.
50 And the priest has seen the plague, and has shut up [that which has] the plague [for] seven days;
El sacerdote debe inspeccionar el moho y poner el artículo en aislamiento durante siete días.
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.
Al séptimo día el sacerdote deberá inspeccionarlo de nuevo, y si la mancha de moho se ha extendido en el material, ya sea cuero, tejido o tejido de punto o algún otro artículo de cuero, entonces es un moho dañino; el artículo está sucio, sea cual sea el uso que se le dé.
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.
El sacerdote debe quemarlo, ya sea que el artículo afectado sea de lana, lino o cuero. Debido a que el moho es dañino, el artículo debe ser quemado.
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,
Sin embargo, si cuando el sacerdote lo inspeccione de nuevo, el moho no se ha extendido,
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.
el sacerdote ordenará que el artículo afectado se lave y se ponga en aislamiento durante otros siete días.
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.
Una vez lavado, el sacerdote debe inspeccionarlo de nuevo, y si el objeto con el molde no ha cambiado su aspecto, está sucio. Aunque el moho no se haya extendido, debe quemar el artículo, tanto si el daño del moho está en el interior como en el exterior.
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;
Si el sacerdote lo inspecciona y la mancha de moho se ha desvanecido después de lavarlo, debe cortar la parte afectada el material, ya sea cuero, tejido o tejido de punto.
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].
Sin embargo, si el moho regresa, entonces se está extendiendo. En ese caso debe quemar la parte afectada.
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.
Si el moho desaparece después de lavarlo, entonces hay que lavarlo de nuevo, y estará limpio.
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.”
“Estas son las normas sobre lo que hay que hacer cuando el moho contamina la lana o el lino, ya sea tejido o tejido de punto, o cualquier artículo de cuero, para declararlo limpio o sucio”.
