Leviticus 13
1 Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
Yahvé habló a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:
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.
“Cuando uno tuviere en la piel de su carne tumor, pústula o mancha reluciente que podría resultar ser llaga de lepra en la piel de su carne, será llevado al sacerdote Aarón o a uno de sus hijos, los sacerdotes.
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].
El sacerdote examinará la llaga en la piel de la carne; y si el pelo de la llaga se ha vuelto blanco, y la llaga parece más hundida que la piel de su carne, es llaga de lepra, y el sacerdote que le haya examinado le declarará impuro.
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.
Mas si hay en la piel de su carne una mancha blanca sin que parezca más hundida que la piel, y sin que el pelo se haya vuelto blanco, el sacerdote recluirá al hombre afectado durante siete días.
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.
Al día séptimo lo revisará el sacerdote, y si a su parecer la llaga no ha cundido y no ha hecho progreso en la piel, lo recluirá otros siete días.
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.
Pasados estos siete días el sacerdote lo revisará nuevamente, y si la llaga ha palidecido y no se ha extendido en la piel, lo declarará puro; es una erupción. Lavará sus vestidos y quedará puro.
7 But if the sore spreads after the priest has examined him, he must go to the priest again.
Mas si la mancha en la piel siguiere cundiendo después de mostrarse el hombre al sacerdote para ser declarado limpio, será revisado otra vez por el sacerdote.
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.
El sacerdote le revisará y si la mancha se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo: es lepra.
9 When anyone has a contagious skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
Cuando se mostrare en un hombre la plaga de la lepra, será llevado al sacerdote.
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,
El sacerdote lo revisará y si observa un tumor blanco en la piel, y mudado en blanco el color del pelo, y carne viva en la hinchazón,
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.
es lepra inveterada en la piel de su carne; el sacerdote lo declarará impuro y no lo recluirá, pues es impuro.
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,
Pero si la lepra ha cundido mucho en la piel, hasta cubrir toda la piel del enfermo desde la cabeza a los pies, en cuanto alcanza a verlo el sacerdote,
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.
este lo examinará, y si la lepra ha cubierto toda su carne, declarará puro al afectado por la plaga: se ha vuelto todo blanco; es puro.
14 But if the person has open sores and they are very painful/sensitive, he has a contagious skin disease,
Mas cuando se ve en él carne viva quedará impuro;
15 and when the priest sees that, he will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
y cuando el sacerdote observe la carne viva, lo declarará impuro; la carne viva es impura; es lepra;
16 But if the person’s flesh changes and becomes white, he must go to the priest again.
Pero si la carne viva cambia volviéndose blanca, ha de presentarse al sacerdote.
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.
El sacerdote lo examinará, y al ver que la plaga se ha vuelto blanca, declarará puro al afectado por la enfermedad, y este quedará puro.
18 ‘Then someone has a boil on his skin and it has healed,
Cuando en la piel de la carne de alguno hubiere una úlcera que se ha curado,
19 but in the place where the boil was a white swelling or a bright/shiny spot appears, he must go to the priest.
y apareciere en el lugar de la úlcera un tumor blanco, o una mancha de color blanco rojizo, este tal ha de presentarse al sacerdote.
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.
El sacerdote lo examinará, y si la mancha parece más hundida que la piel, y su pelo se ha vuelto blanco, lo declarará impuro. Es llaga de lepra que se ha producido en la úlcera.
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.
Mas si el sacerdote ve que no hay en ella pelo blanco, ni está más hundida que la piel, y que ha tomado color pálido, lo recluirá por siete días.
22 But if it is spreading, it is contagious and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
Si entonces se extendiere por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro; es lepra.
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.
Pero si la mancha sigue estacionaria en su lugar, sin extenderse, es cicatriz de la úlcera; y el sacerdote lo declarará puro.
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,
Cuando uno tiene en la piel de su carne quemadura de fuego, y aparece sobre la quemadura una mancha, de color blanco rojizo o solo blanco,
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.
la examinará el sacerdote; y si el pelo se ha vuelto blanco en la mancha blanca y ella aparece más hundida que la piel, es lepra que se ha producido en la quemadura. El sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es llaga de lepra.
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.
Si, en cambio, el sacerdote observa que en la mancha no aparece pelo blanco y que no está más hundida que la piel y que ha palidecido, lo recluirá siete días.
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.
Al séptimo día lo examinará, y si (la mancha) se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote le declarará impuro; es llaga de lepra.
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.
Pero si la mancha sigue estacionaria en su lugar, sin cundir en la piel, y ha cobrado color pálido, es hinchazón de quemadura, y el sacerdote lo declarará puro; pues es cicatriz de la quemadura.
29 ‘If a man or a woman has a sore on his head or on his chin,
Cuando un hombre o una mujer tuvieren una llaga en la cabeza o en la barba,
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.
el sacerdote examinará la llaga, y si esta aparece más hundida que la piel, y si hay en ella pelo amarillento y más delgado, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro, es tina, o sea lepra de la cabeza o de la barba.
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.
Mas si el sacerdote ve que la llaga de la tina no aparece más hundida que la piel, aunque no hay en ella pelo negro, recluirá al enfermo de la tina por siete días.
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,
Al séptimo lo examinará el sacerdote, y si no ha cundido la tiña, ni hay en ella pelo amarillento, ni aparece la tina más hundida que la piel,
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.
se afeitará aquella persona, excepto el lugar de la tiña; y el sacerdote recluirá al tiñoso durante otros siete días.
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.
Al séptimo día lo examinará el sacerdote, y si no ha cundido la tiña por la piel, ni aparece más hundida que la piel, lo declarará puro. Lavará sus vestidos y quedará puro.
35 But if the sore later spreads,
Pero si la tiña, después de la purificación, se extendiere mucho por la piel,
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.
lo examinará el sacerdote, y si la tiña se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote ya no tendrá que buscar el pelo amarillento; aquella persona es impura.
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.
Mas si según su opinión la tiña no se ha extendido, y ha brotado en ella pelo negro, se ha curado la tifia. Esa persona es pura, y el sacerdote la declarará pura.
38 ‘Then a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
Cuando un hombre o una mujer tuviere en la piel de su carne manchas blancas,
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.
el sacerdote los examinará y si las manchas lustrosas en la piel de su carne son de color pálido blanco, es una eczema que ha brotado en la piel; esa persona es pura.
40 ‘If a man loses the hair on any part of his head, he does not need to stay away from other people.
Si a alguno se le caen los pelos, es un calvo, pero queda puro.
Y si los pelos se le caen de la parte delantera de la cabeza, es calvo de frente, pero queda puro.
42 But if he gets a bright/shiny sore on his bald head or on his forehead, he has a contagious skin disease.
Mas si en la calva, por detrás o por delante, aparece una llaga de color blanco rojizo, es lepra que ha nacido en la calva, sea por detrás o por delante.
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,
El sacerdote lo examinará, y si la hinchazón de la llaga en la parte calva, sea por detrás o por delante, es de color blanco rojizo teniendo el aspecto de la lepra en la piel de la carne,
44 the priest will declare that the man has a contagious skin disease and must not be with other people.
es leproso; es impuro; el sacerdote lo declarará impuro; su lepra está en la cabeza.
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!”
El afectado por la lepra, llevará sus vestidos rasgados, dejará descubierta su cabeza, se tapará la boca y caminará gritando: ¡Impuro, impuro!
46 He is not allowed to be with other people as long as he has the disease. He must live alone, outside the camp.’”
Todo el tiempo que durare la plaga, quedará impuro; impuro es; habitará solo; fuera del campamento será su morada.
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.
Cuando aparezca plaga de lepra en un vestido de lana o en un vestido de lino,
sea en la urdimbre del lino o de la lana, o sea en la trama, o en una piel, o en cualquier objeto hecho de cuero,
49 If the contaminated/mildewed part is greenish or reddish, it is a spreading mildew, and it must be shown to the priest.
si la mancha en el vestido o en la piel, o en la urdimbre, o en la trama, o en cualquier objeto hecho de cuero, tiene color verdoso o rojizo, es plaga de lepra y debe ser mostrada al sacerdote.
50 The priest will examine it, and then put it in a separate place by itself for seven days.
El sacerdote examinará la mancha y encerrará el objeto manchado durante siete días.
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.
Al séptimo el sacerdote examinará la plaga, y si la plaga se ha extendido en el vestido, sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en la piel, o en cualquier objeto hecho de cuero, lepra maligna es la tal plaga, y (el objeto) queda impuro.
52 The owner must burn completely the item that has the mildew in it, whatever kind of item it is.
Por lo cual se quemará el vestido, esté (la mancha) en la urdimbre o en la trama de lana o de lino, y asimismo cualquier objeto de piel en que se encuentre la mancha; pues es lepra maligna; será entregado al fuego.
53 But when the priest examines it, if the mildew has not spread,
Pero si el sacerdote ve que no ha cundido la mancha por el vestido, ni en la urdimbre, ni en la trama, ni en cualquier objeto de piel,
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.
el sacerdote hará lavar el objeto manchado y lo encerrará otros siete días.
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.
Si el sacerdote ve que la mancha después de haber sido lavada no ha mudado de aspecto, aunque la mancha no se haya extendido, (el objeto) es impuro; lo entregará al fuego; es una corrosión en su reverso o en su anverso.
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.
Mas si el sacerdote ve que la parte manchada, después de lavada, ha tomado color, la rasgará del vestido, de la piel, de la urdimbre o de la trama respectiva.
57 But if the mildew reappears in that item, it is clear that it is spreading, and the whole item must be burned.
Pero si volviere a aparecer en el vestido, sea en la urdimbre o en la trama o en cualquier objeto de cuero, es una erupción (de lepra); entregarás al fuego aquello en que estuviese la lepra.
58 But after the clothing is washed and the mildew disappears, it must be washed again, and then it can be worn again.
Mas si el vestido, la urdimbre o la trama, o cualquier objeto de cuero que después de ser lavados pierden la mancha, serán lavados por segunda vez y quedarán limpios.
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.”
Esta es la ley de la plaga de la lepra que se halla en los vestidos de lana o de lino, sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en cualquier objeto hecho de cuero, para declararlos puros o impuros.”
