Leviticus 13
1 Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron, dicens:
2 “When someone has on his skin a swelling or a rash or a shiny/bright spot that may become (contagious/a dreaded skin disease), he must be brought to Aaron or to one of his sons who are also priests.
Homo, in cuius cute et carne ortus fuerit diversus color sive pustula, aut quasi lucens quippiam, id est plaga leprae, adducetur ad Aaron sacerdotem, vel ad unum quemlibet filiorum eius.
3 The priest must examine that part of the person’s skin. If the hair in that area has become white and it appears that the sore is deeper than just on the skin, it is a contagious skin disease. When the priest sees that, he must declare that the person must stay away from other people [MTY].
Qui cum viderit lepram in cute, et pilos in album mutatos colorem. ipsamque speciem leprae humiliorem cute et carne reliqua; plaga leprae est, et ad arbitrium eius separabitur.
4 If the spot on the person’s skin is white but it does not appear that the sore is deeper than just on the skin, the priest must tell him to stay away from other people for seven days.
Sin autem lucens candor fuerit in cute, nec humilior carne reliqua, et pili coloris pristini, recludet eum sacerdos septem diebus,
5 Then the priest must examine the person again. If the priest sees that the sore has not changed and has not spread, he must tell the person to stay away from people for seven more days.
et considerabit die septimo: et siquidem lepra ultra non creverit, nec transierit in cute priores terminos, rursum recludet eum septem diebus aliis.
6 Then the priest must examine him again. If the sore has faded and has not spread, the priest will allow him to be with other people again; it is only a rash. After the person washes his clothes, he will be allowed to be with other people again.
Et die septimo contemplabitur: si obscurior fuerit lepra, et non creverit in cute, mundabit eum, quia scabies est: lavabitque homo vestimenta sua, et mundus erit.
7 But if the sore spreads after the priest has examined him, he must go to the priest again.
Quod si postquam a sacerdote visus est, et redditus munditiae, iterum lepra creverit; adducetur ad eum,
8 The priest will examine him; and if the sore has spread to more of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people.
et immunditiae condemnabitur.
9 When anyone has a contagious skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
Plaga leprae si fuerit in homine, adducetur ad sacerdotem,
10 The priest must examine him. And if there is a white swelling in the skin that has caused the hair in that swelling to become white, and if the flesh in that area is painful/sensitive,
et videbit eum. Cumque color albus in cute fuerit, et capillorum mutaverit aspectum, ipsa quoque caro viva apparuerit:
11 it is a permanent skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people. The priest does not need to tell that person that he must avoid other people, because other people already are wanting to stay away from him.
lepra vetustissima iudicabitur, atque inolita cuti. Contaminabit itaque eum sacerdos, et non recludet, quia perspicuae immunditiae est.
12 ‘If the disease spreads all over someone’s body, and the priest examines that person and sees that it is covering his skin from his head to his feet,
Sin autem effloruerit discurrens lepra in cute, et operuerit omnem carnem a capite usque ad pedes, quidquid sub aspectum oculorum cadit,
13 and it has caused all his skin to become white [which will indicate that the disease has ended], the priest will declare that the person does not have to stay away from other people.
considerabit eum sacerdos, et teneri lepra mundissima iudicabit: eo quod omnis in candorem versa sit, et idcirco homo mundus erit.
14 But if the person has open sores and they are very painful/sensitive, he has a contagious skin disease,
Quando vero caro vivens in eo apparuerit,
15 and when the priest sees that, he will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
tunc sacerdotis iudicio polluetur, et inter immundos reputabitur. caro enim viva si lepra aspergitur, immunda est.
16 But if the person’s flesh changes and becomes white, he must go to the priest again.
Quod si rursum versa fuerit in alborem, et totum hominem operuerit,
17 The priest must examine him again; and if the sores have become white, the priest will declare that the person who had been infected is now permitted to be with other people again.
considerabit eum sacerdos, et mundum esse decernet.
18 ‘Then someone has a boil on his skin and it has healed,
Caro autem et cutis in qua ulcus natum est et sanatum,
19 but in the place where the boil was a white swelling or a bright/shiny spot appears, he must go to the priest.
et in loco hulceris cicatrix alba apparuerit, sive subrufa, adducetur homo ad sacerdotem:
20 The priest must examine it. And if it seems to be deeper than just on the skin, and if the hair in that spot has become white, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the boil had been. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
qui cum viderit locum leprae humiliorem carne reliqua, et pilos versos in candorem, contaminabit eum: plaga enim leprae orta est in hulcere.
21 But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin and has become less bright/shiny, then the priest will order him to stay away from other people for seven days.
Quod si pilus coloris est pristini, et cicatrix subobscura, et vicina carne non est humilior, recludet eum septem diebus.
22 But if it is spreading, it is contagious and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
et si quidem creverit, adiudicabit eum leprae.
23 But if that spot is unchanged and has not spread, it is only a scar from the boil, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
sin autem steterit in loco suo, hulceris est cicatrix, et homo mundus erit.
24 ‘Then someone has a burn on his skin and a bright/shiny or white spot appears, and the flesh in that area is sensitive/painful,
Caro autem et cutis, quam ignis exusserit, et sanata albam sive rufam habuerit cicatricem,
25 the priest must examine the spot. If the hair in that spot has turned white and it seems to be deeper than just on the surface of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the burn was, and that person must stay away from other people.
considerabit eam sacerdos, et ecce versa est in alborem, et locus eius reliqua cute est humilior: contaminabit eum, quia plaga leprae in cicatrice orta est.
26 But when the priest examines it and sees that there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin, and has faded, the priest will declare that the person must stay away from people for seven days.
Quod si pilorum color non fuerit immutatus, nec humilior plaga carne reliqua, et ipsa leprae species fuerit subobscura, recludet eum septem diebus,
27 On the seventh day, the priest will examine him again. If the sore is spreading, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
et die septimo contemplabitur: si creverit in cute lepra, contaminabit eum.
28 However, if the spot is not changed and has not spread but has faded, it is only a scar from the burn, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
sin autem in loco suo candor steterit non satis clarus, plaga combustionis est, et idcirco mundabitur, quia cicatrix est combusturae.
29 ‘If a man or a woman has a sore on his head or on his chin,
Vir, sive mulier, in cuius capite vel barba germinaverit lepra, videbit eos sacerdos.
30 the priest must examine it. If it appears to be deeper than [just on the surface of] the skin, and the hair in that spot has thinned out and has become yellowish, it is a contagious skin disease that causes itching. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
et si quidem humilior fuerit locus carne reliqua, et capillus flavus, solitoque subtilior; contaminabit eos, quia lepra capitis ac barbae est.
31 But when the priest examines that kind of sore, if it seems to be only on the surface of the skin and there is no healthy hair in it, the priest will tell the person to stay away from other people for seven days.
Sin autem viderit locum maculae aequalem vicinae carni, et capillum nigrum: recludet eum septem diebus,
32 On the seventh day, the priest will examine the sore again. If it has not spread and if there is no yellow hair in that spot and if it appears to be only on the surface of the skin,
et die septimo intuebitur. Si non creverit macula, et capillus sui coloris est, et locus plagae carni reliquae aequalis:
33 the person must shave the hair near the sore but not the hair on the sore. And the priest will tell him to stay away from other people for seven more days.
radetur homo absque loco maculae, et includetur septem diebus aliis.
34 On the seventh day, the priest will examine that spot again. If it has not spread and it appears to be only on the surface of the skin, the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with people again. The person must wash his clothes, and then he can be with other people.
Si die septimo visa fuerit stetisse plaga in loco suo, nec humilior carne reliqua, mundabit eum, lotisque vestibus suis mundus erit.
35 But if the sore later spreads,
Sin autem post emundationem rursus creverit macula in cute,
36 the priest must examine him again. If the itch/sore has spread, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair, because it is clear that the person has a contagious skin disease.
non quaeret amplius utrum capillus in flavum colorem sit commutatus, quia aperte immundus est.
37 However, if the priest thinks that the spot has not changed, and healthy hair is growing in that area, it is clear that the itch has healed, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
Porro si steterit macula, et capilli nigri fuerint, noverit hominem sanatum esse, et confidenter eum pronunciet mundum.
38 ‘Then a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
Vir, sive mulier, in cuius cute candor apparuerit,
39 the priest should examine them. But if the spots are dull white, it is only a rash, and [the priest will declare that] the person is permitted to be with other people.
intuebitur eos sacerdos. si deprehenderit subobscurum alborem lucere in cute, sciat non esse lepram, sed maculam coloris candidi, et hominem mundum.
40 ‘If a man loses the hair on any part of his head, he does not need to stay away from other people.
Vir, de cuius capite capilli fluunt, calvus et mundus est:
et si a fronte ceciderint pili, recalvaster et mundus est.
42 But if he gets a bright/shiny sore on his bald head or on his forehead, he has a contagious skin disease.
Sin autem in calvitio sive in recalvatione albus vel rufus color fuerit exortus,
43 The priest must examine him. If the swollen sore is a bright spot like [the spot on someone who has] a contagious skin disease,
et hoc sacerdos viderit, condemnabit eum haud dubiae leprae, quae orta est in calvitio.
44 the priest will declare that the man has a contagious skin disease and must not be with other people.
Quicumque ergo maculatus fuerit lepra, et separatus est ad arbitrium sacerdotis,
45 ‘Anyone who has a contagious skin disease must wear torn clothes and not comb his hair. [When he is near other people], he must cover the lower part to his face and call out, “Do not come near me! I have a contagious skin disease!”
habebit vestimenta dissuta, caput nudum, os veste contectum, contaminatum ac sordidum se clamabit.
46 He is not allowed to be with other people as long as he has the disease. He must live alone, outside the camp.’”
Omni tempore quo leprosus est, et immundus, solus habitabit extra castra.
47 “Sometimes a person’s clothing gets mildew on it. It may be clothing that is woven from wool or made from linen or from leather.
Vestis lanea sive linea, quae lepram habuerit
in stamine atque subtegmine, aut certe pellis, vel quidquid ex pelle confectum est,
49 If the contaminated/mildewed part is greenish or reddish, it is a spreading mildew, and it must be shown to the priest.
si alba vel rufa macula fuerit infecta, lepra reputabitur, ostendeturque sacerdoti.
50 The priest will examine it, and then put it in a separate place by itself for seven days.
qui consideratam recludet septem diebus:
51 On the seventh day he must examine it again. If the mildew has spread, it is clear that it is a type of mildew that destroys clothing, and that clothing must not be worn again.
et die septimo rursus aspiciens si deprehenderit crevisse, lepra perseverans est: pollutum iudicabit vestimentum, et omne in quo fuerit inventa:
52 The owner must burn completely the item that has the mildew in it, whatever kind of item it is.
et idcirco comburetur flammis.
53 But when the priest examines it, if the mildew has not spread,
Quod si eam viderit non crevisse,
54 he will tell the person [who owns it] to wash it. Then he must put it in a separate place for another seven days.
praecipiet, et lavabunt id, in quo lepra est, recludetque illud septem diebus aliis.
55 Then the priest will examine it again. If the color of the mildew has not changed, even though it has not spread, that item must not be worn again. It does not matter if the mildew is on the inside of the clothing or on the outside; it must be burned.
Et cum viderit faciem quidem pristinam non reversam, nec tamen crevisse lepram, immundum iudicabit, et igne comburet, eo quod infusa sit in superficie vestimenti vel per totum, lepra.
56 But when the priest examines it [after it has been washed], if the mildew has faded, he must tear out that part that had the mildew in it.
Sin autem obscurior fuerit locus leprae, postquam vestis est lota, abrumpet eum, et a solido dividet.
57 But if the mildew reappears in that item, it is clear that it is spreading, and the whole item must be burned.
Quod si ultra apparuerit in his locis, quae prius immaculata erant, lepra volatilis et vaga: debet igne comburi.
58 But after the clothing is washed and the mildew disappears, it must be washed again, and then it can be worn again.
si cessaverit, lavabit aqua ea, quae pura sunt, secundo, et munda erunt.
59 Those are the regulations concerning mildew on things made of wool or linen or leather, for deciding whether those things can continue to be worn or not.”
Ista est lex leprae vestimenti lanei et linei, staminis, atque subtegminis, omnisque supellectilis pelliceae, quomodo mundari debeat, vel contaminari.
