Leviticus 13
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Yahvé habló a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:
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;
“Cuando un hombre tenga una hinchazón en la piel de su cuerpo, o una costra, o una mancha brillante, y se convierta en la piel de su cuerpo en la plaga de la lepra, entonces será llevado al sacerdote Aarón o a uno de sus hijos, los sacerdotes.
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 examinará la plaga en la piel del cuerpo. Si el pelo de la plaga se ha vuelto blanco, y el aspecto de la plaga es más profundo que la piel del cuerpo, se trata de una plaga de lepra; entonces el sacerdote lo examinará y lo declarará impuro.
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.
Si la mancha es blanca en la piel de su cuerpo, y su apariencia no es más profunda que la piel, y su pelo no se ha vuelto blanco, entonces el sacerdote aislará a la persona infectada 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.
El sacerdote lo examinará al séptimo día. Si en sus ojos la plaga está detenida y la plaga no se ha extendido en la piel, entonces el sacerdote lo aislará por siete días más.
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.
El sacerdote lo examinará de nuevo al séptimo día. Si la peste ha desaparecido y no se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará limpio. Se trata de una costra. Se lavará la ropa y quedará limpio.
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;
Pero si la costra se extiende en la piel después de haberse presentado al sacerdote para su purificación, se presentará de nuevo al sacerdote.
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.
El sacerdote lo examinará, y si la costra se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es lepra.
9 When a plague of leprosy is in a man, then he has been brought to the priest,
“Cuando la plaga de la lepra esté en un hombre, será llevado 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—
y el sacerdote lo examinará. Si hay una hinchazón blanca en la piel, que ha vuelto blanco el cabello, y hay carne viva 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.
se trata de una lepra crónica en la piel de su cuerpo, y el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. No lo aislará, porque ya está impuro.
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,
“Si la lepra brota por toda la piel, y la lepra cubre toda la piel del infectado, desde la cabeza hasta los pies, según lo que le parezca al sacerdote,
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.
entonces el sacerdote lo examinará. Si la lepra ha cubierto toda su carne, lo declarará limpio de la plaga. Todo se ha vuelto blanco: está limpio.
14 And in the day of raw flesh being seen in him, he is unclean;
Pero cuando la carne viva aparezca en él, será impuro.
15 and the priest has seen the raw flesh, and has pronounced him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean—it [is] leprosy.
El sacerdote examinará la carne viva y lo declarará impuro: la carne viva es impura. Es lepra.
16 Or when the raw flesh turns back, and has been turned to white, then he has come to the priest,
O si la carne viva se vuelve y se convierte en blanca, entonces vendrá 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 lo examinará. Si la llaga se ha vuelto blanca, el sacerdote lo declarará limpio de la llaga. Está limpio.
18 And when flesh has in it, in its skin, an ulcer, and it has been healed,
“Cuando el cuerpo tenga un forúnculo en la piel, y se haya curado,
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 el lugar del forúnculo haya una hinchazón blanca, o una mancha brillante, de color blanco rojizo, entonces se mostrará 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 examinará. Si su aspecto es más profundo que la piel, y su pelo se ha vuelto blanco, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es la plaga de la lepra. Ha brotado en el forúnculo.
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;
Pero si el sacerdote lo examina, y he aquí que no hay pelos blancos en él, y no está más profundo que la piel, sino que es tenue, entonces el sacerdote lo aislará siete días.
22 and if it spreads greatly in the skin, then the priest has pronounced him unclean—it [is] a plague;
Si se extiende en la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es una plaga.
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 brillante permanece en su lugar y no se ha extendido, es la cicatriz del forúnculo; y el sacerdote lo declarará limpio.
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,
“O cuando el cuerpo tenga una quemadura de fuego en su piel, y la carne viva de la quemadura se convierta en una mancha brillante, de color blanco rojizo o blanco,
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.
entonces el sacerdote lo examinará; y he aquí que si el pelo de la mancha brillante se ha vuelto blanco, y su aspecto es más profundo que la piel, es lepra. Ha brotado en el quemado, y el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es la plaga de la lepra.
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;
Pero si el sacerdote lo examina y ve que no hay pelo blanco en la mancha, y que no es más profunda que la piel, sino que se ha desvanecido, entonces el sacerdote lo aislará 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.
El sacerdote lo examinará al séptimo día. Si se ha extendido en la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es la plaga de la lepra.
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.
Si la mancha brillante permanece en su lugar y no se ha extendido en la piel, sino que se ha desvanecido, es la hinchazón de la quemadura, y el sacerdote lo declarará limpio, porque es 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,
“Cuando un hombre o una mujer tenga una plaga en la cabeza o en la barba,
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.
entonces el sacerdote examinará la plaga; y si su aspecto es más profundo que la piel, y el pelo en ella es amarillo y fino, entonces el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Se trata de una picazón. Es lepra de la cabeza o de la barba.
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.
Si el sacerdote examina la plaga de prurito, y he aquí que su aspecto no es más profundo que la piel, y no hay pelo negro en ella, entonces el sacerdote aislará a la persona infectada de prurito 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,
Al séptimo día el sacerdote examinará la plaga; y he aquí que si la picazón no se ha extendido, y no hay pelo amarillo en ella, y la apariencia de la picazón no es más profunda que la piel,
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 será afeitado, pero no afeitará la picazón. Entonces el sacerdote aislará al que tiene la picazón siete días más.
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 examinará el prurito; y si el prurito no se ha extendido en la piel, y su apariencia no es más profunda que la piel, entonces el sacerdote lo declarará limpio. Se lavará la ropa y quedará limpio.
35 And if the scale spreads greatly in the skin after his cleansing,
Pero si la picazón se extiende en la piel después de su limpieza,
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;
entonces el sacerdote lo examinará; y si la picazón se ha extendido en la piel, el sacerdote no buscará el pelo amarillo; es impuro.
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 en sus ojos se ha detenido la picazón y le ha crecido pelo negro, entonces la picazón está curada. Está limpio. El sacerdote lo declarará limpio.
38 And when a man or woman has bright spots in the skin of their flesh, white bright spots,
“Cuando un hombre o una mujer tenga manchas brillantes en la piel del cuerpo, incluso manchas blancas brillantes,
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.
entonces el sacerdote los examinará. He aquí, si las manchas brillantes en la piel de su cuerpo son de color blanco opaco, es una erupción inofensiva. Ha brotado en la piel. Está limpio.
40 And when a man’s head [is] polished, he [is] bald; he [is] clean;
“Si a un hombre se le cae el pelo de la cabeza, es calvo. Está limpio.
41 and if his head is polished from the corner of his face, he [is] bald of the forehead; he [is] clean.
Si se le ha caído el pelo de la parte delantera de la cabeza, es calvo de frente. Está 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 en la cabeza calva o en la frente calva hay una plaga de color blanco rojizo, es lepra que brota en su cabeza calva o en su frente calva.
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,
Entonces el sacerdote lo examinará. He aquí, si la hinchazón de la plaga es de color blanco rojizo en su cabeza calva o en su frente calva, como la apariencia de la lepra en la piel del cuerpo,
44 he [is] a leprous man—he [is] unclean; the priest pronounces him utterly unclean; his plague [is] in his head.
es un hombre leproso. Es impuro. El sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Su plaga está 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!
“El leproso en el que se encuentre la plaga se vestirá con ropas rasgadas, y el cabello de su cabeza colgará suelto. Se cubrirá el labio superior y gritará: “¡Inmundo! Impuro!
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.
Todo el tiempo que la plaga esté en él, será impuro. Es impuro. Vivirá solo. Su morada estará 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,
“También el vestido en el que esté la plaga de la lepra, sea de lana o de 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—
sea de urdimbre o de trama; de lino o de lana; sea de cuero o de cualquier cosa 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 plaga es verdosa o rojiza en el vestido, o en el cuero, o en la urdimbre, o en la trama, o en cualquier cosa de cuero, es la plaga de la lepra, y será mostrada al sacerdote.
50 And the priest has seen the plague, and has shut up [that which has] the plague [for] seven days;
El sacerdote examinará la plaga y la aislará 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 examinará la plaga. Si la plaga se ha extendido en el vestido, ya sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en la piel, cualquiera que sea el uso que se le dé a la piel, la plaga es un moho destructor. Es impuro.
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.
Se quemará el vestido, ya sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, en la lana o en el lino, o en cualquier cosa de cuero, en el que esté la plaga, porque es un moho destructor. Se quemará en el fuego.
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,
“Si el sacerdote lo examina, y he aquí que la peste no se ha propagado en el vestido, ni en la urdimbre, ni en la trama, ni en nada de piel;
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.
entonces el sacerdote ordenará que laven el objeto en que está la peste, y lo aislará siete días más.
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.
Entonces el sacerdote lo examinará, después de lavar la plaga; y he aquí que si la plaga no ha cambiado de color, y la plaga no se ha propagado, es impuro; lo quemarás en el fuego. Es una mancha enmohecida, ya sea que la desnudez esté por dentro o por fuera.
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 mira, y he aquí que la plaga se ha desvanecido después de haberla lavado, entonces la arrancará del vestido, o de la piel, o de la urdimbre, o de la trama;
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].
y si aparece de nuevo en el vestido, ya sea en la urdimbre, en la trama o en cualquier cosa de la piel, se está extendiendo. Quemarás con fuego lo que contenga la plaga.
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.
El vestido, ya sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en cualquier cosa de piel que sea, que lavarás, si la peste se ha ido de ellos, se lavará por segunda vez, y quedará 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.”
Esta es la ley de la plaga del moho en una prenda de lana o de lino, ya sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en cualquier cosa de piel, para declararla limpia o para declararla impura.
