Leviticus 14
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 “These are the regulations for anyone who has been healed of a contagious skin disease.
“Esiawoe nye ɖoɖowo na ame si dze dɔ le ameŋukɔɣi ne wokplɔe va nunɔla gbɔe.
3 The person must be brought to a priest. The priest will take him outside the camp [to where that person has been staying], and examine him. If the skin disease has been healed,
Nunɔla la atso asaɖa la me ayi aɖadoe kpɔ. Ne nunɔla la kpɔ be kpodɔléla la ƒe lãme sẽ la,
4 the priest will say that someone must bring two living birds that are acceptable to Yahweh, along with some cedar wood, some scarlet/red yarn, and some sprigs of (hyssop/a very leafy plant).
ana amea nana xevi eve siwo ŋu se ɖe mɔ le be woaɖu, hekpe ɖe sedati, ka dzĩ kple kakle ŋu be wòawɔ wo ŋu dɔ hena kpodɔléla si haya la ŋutikɔkɔ ƒe kɔnuwo wɔwɔ.
5 Then the priest will command that one of the birds be killed while [it is being held] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.
Nunɔla la ana woawu xeviawo dometɔ ɖeka ɖe ze si me tsi nyui le la me.
6 Then the priest will dip the other bird, along with the cedar wood, the scarlet/red yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed.
Woanyrɔ xevi evelia si le agbe la kple sedati, ka dzẽ kpakple kakle la ɖe xeviʋu la me le zea me.
7 Then he must sprinkle some of the blood on the person who was healed; he must sprinkle it on him seven times. Then he will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again. And the priest will release the other bird and allow it to fly away.
Ekema nunɔla la ahlẽ ʋu la ɖe ame si ŋu kpodɔ la vɔ le la ŋu zi adre. Nunɔla la aɖe gbeƒã be amea ŋu kɔ azɔ, eye wòaɖe asi le xevi gbagbe la ŋu wòadzo adzo.
8 “Then the person who was healed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe. Then he is allowed to return to the camp, but he must stay outside his tent for seven days.
“Ame si ŋu wokɔ la, anya eƒe awuwo, aƒlɔ eƒe taɖa katã ɖa, ale tsi, eye wòayi aɖanɔ asaɖa la me azɔ. Ke anɔ eƒe agbadɔ godo ŋkeke adre.
9 On the seventh day, he must again shave off all his hair, including his beard and his eyebrows. Then he must again wash his clothes and bathe, and then he will be allowed to be with other people again.
Le ŋkeke adrea gbe la, agaƒlɔ eƒe taɖa ƒioƒioƒio, alũ eƒe ge kple eƒe adzugo, anya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, ekema woabui be kpodɔ la vɔ le eŋu azɔ keŋkeŋ.
10 “The next day that person must bring two male lambs and one female lamb that is one year old, all of them with no defects. He must also bring six quarts/liters of fine flour, mixed with olive oil, to be an offering, and (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) of olive oil.
“Ne ŋu ke si anye ŋkeke enyia gbe la, amea ana alẽvi eve siwo de blibo, alẽnɔe ɖeka si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, eye wòde blibo, wɔ memee kilogram atɔ̃ si dzi wokɔ ami ɖo kple ami lita ɖeka ƒe akpa etɔ̃lia.
11 The priest who declares that the person’s skin disease is ended must bring that person, and his offerings, to me, Yahweh, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Nunɔla si doe kpɔ la atsɔ amea kple eƒe nunana aɖo Yehowa ŋkume le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
12 “Then the priest must take one of the male lambs and lift it up, along with the olive oil, in front of me, to be a guilt offering—[an offering for his being guilty for not giving to me the things that he was required to give me].
Nunɔla la atsɔ alẽawo dometɔ ɖeka kple ami lita ɖeka ƒe akpa etɔ̃lia la, eye wòatsɔ wo ana Yehowa abe fɔɖivɔsa ene to wo nyenye le yame le vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ me.
13 Then the priest must slaughter the lamb in the sacred place where the other sacrifices are offered. Like the offering to enable people to be forgiven, this guilt offering is holy, and belongs to the priest.
Awu alẽ la le afi si wowua nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsalãwo kple numevɔsalãwo le, le Agbadɔ la me. Woatsɔ fɔɖivɔsa sia ana nunɔla la abe eƒe nuɖuɖu ene, abe ale si wowɔna le nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa me ene. Enye vɔsa kɔkɔe ƒe vɔsa kɔkɔe.
14 The priest must take some of the blood of that animal and pour it on the lobe/tip of the right ear and on the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the one who has been healed of the skin disease.
Nunɔla la asisi fɔɖivɔsalã la ƒe ʋu ƒe ɖe ɖe ame si ŋuti kɔm wòle la ƒe ɖusito ŋu, ɖe eƒe ɖusisi ƒe degblefetsu ŋu kple eƒe ɖusifɔ ƒe degblefetsu ŋu.
15 Then the priest must take some of the olive oil and pour it in the palm of his own left hand.
Emegbe nunɔla la akɔ ami la ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe miasiƒome.
16 Then he must dip the forefinger of his right hand into the oil in his palm, and sprinkle it in front of me seven times.
Nunɔla la atsɔ eƒe nuɖusi ƒe asibidɛ ɖeka ade ami la me, eye wòahlẽe kple eƒe asibidɛ zi adre le Yehowa ŋkume.
17 Then he must put some of the oil that is still in the palm of his hand on the lobe/tip of the right ear and the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the person who has been healed of the skin disease. He must put it on top of the blood that he has already put on those places.
Nunɔla la asisi ami si susɔ ɖe eƒe miasiƒome la ɖe amea ƒe ɖusito kple eƒe ɖusisi ƒe adegblefetsu kple eƒe ɖusifɔ ƒe adegblefetsu ŋu, abe ale si wòwɔ kple fɔɖivɔsalã la ƒe ʋu ene.
18 The remaining oil in his palm must be put on the person’s head, [to indicate that I declare that] the person has been forgiven for having sinned.
Atsɔ ami si gasusɔ ɖe eƒe miasiƒome la asi ɖe ta nɛ. Ale nunɔla la alé avu ɖe enu le Yehowa ŋkume.
19 “Then the priest must slaughter one of the other two animals, to show that the one who has been healed of the skin disease has been forgiven for having sinned, and that he has become acceptable to Yahweh. Then the priest will slaughter the animal that will be completely burned [on the altar].
“Le esia megbe la, nunɔla la asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa la, eye wòagalé avu le ame si ŋu kɔm wòle tso kpodɔ si me la nu. Nunɔla la awu numevɔsalã la,
20 He will also put on the altar the offering of grain, to indicate that the person has been forgiven for having sinned. Then that person will be allowed to be with other people again.
eye wòatsɔ nuɖuvɔsa akpe ɖe eŋu atsɔ sa vɔe le vɔsamlekpui la dzi, alé avu ɖe amea nu, ekema woagblɔ be amea ŋuti kɔ keŋkeŋ azɔ.
21 “But if the person who has been healed of a skin disease is poor and cannot afford to bring all those animals, he must take to the priest one male lamb to be lifted up to be an offering for his not giving to me the things that he was required to give me. He must also take two quarts/liters of fine flour mixed with olive oil to be an offering made from grain, (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) of olive oil,
“Ne amea da ahe ale gbegbe be mate ŋu ana alẽvi eve o la, ekema ana agbovi ɖeka ko na fɔɖivɔsa la be woatsɔ ana Yehowa hena avuléle to enyenye le yame le vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ me. Nu siwo agakpe ɖe esia ŋu koe nye wɔ memee kilogram ɖeka si dzi wokɔ ami ɖo hena nuɖuvɔsa la kple amitimi lita ɖeka ƒe akpa etɔ̃lia.
22 and two doves or two young pigeons, one for him to be forgiven for the sins he has committed, and one to be completely burned [on the altar].
“Ele be wòagana akpakpa eve alo ahɔnɛvi eve, wo dometɔ si wòate ŋu ana ko. Woatsɔ xeviawo dometɔ ɖeka asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye woatsɔ evelia asa numevɔ.
23 “On that same day, that person must take those things to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, to offer them to Yahweh.
Amea atsɔ wo vɛ na nunɔla la le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu le ŋkeke enyia gbe hena eŋutikɔkɔ le Yehowa ŋkume.
24 The priest will take the lamb for the offering for that person not giving to me the things that he was required to give me, along with the olive oil, and lift them up in front of me.
Nunɔla la atsɔ alẽvi kple amitimi lita ɖeka ƒe akpa etɔ̃lia la asa fɔɖivɔ, eye wòanye wo le vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ abe wo tsɔtsɔ na Yehowa ƒe dzesi ene.
25 Then the priest will slaughter that lamb [and drain some of the blood in a bowl], and take some of that blood and put it on the lobe/tip of the person’s right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.
Emegbe la, awu alẽvi la na fɔɖivɔsa la, eye wòasi ʋu la ƒe ɖe ɖe ame si ŋu kɔm wòle la ƒe ɖusito ŋu kple eƒe ɖusisi ƒe degblefetsu dzi kple eƒe ɖusifɔ ƒe degblefetsu dzi.
26 Then the priest will pour some of the oil into the palm of his left hand,
Azɔ la, nunɔla la atrɔ ami la akɔ ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe miasiƒome,
27 and with his right forefinger he must sprinkle some of the oil from his palm there in my presence.
eye wòatsɔ eƒe ɖusi ƒe asibidɛ ɖeka ahlẽ ami la ƒe ɖe zi adre le Yehowa ŋkume.
28 He must put some of the oil in his palm on the same places where he put the blood.
Ekema asi ami si le eƒe asiƒome la ƒe ɖe ɖe eƒe ɖusito ŋu kple eƒe ɖusisi ƒe adegblefetsu kple eƒe ɖusifɔ ƒe adegblefetsu dzi, abe ale si wòwɔ kple nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa la ƒe ʋu ene.
29 He must put the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the head of the person who has been healed of a skin disease, to indicate that I have forgiven him for having sinned.
Nunɔla la atsɔ ami si susɔ ɖe eƒe asiƒome la asi na ame si ŋu kɔm wòle la ƒe ta, atsɔ alé avu ɖe enu le Yehowa ŋkume.
30 Then the priest must sacrifice the doves or the pigeons, whichever that person has brought.
Azɔ la, ana akpakpa eveawo alo ahɔnɛvi eveawo, wo dometɔ si wòate ŋui ko.
31 One will be an offering for sin and the other will be completely burned on the altar, along with the offering of grain. By doing that, the priest will declare that the person is no longer guilty for having sinned.
Woatsɔ xeviawo dometɔ ɖeka asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye woatsɔ evelia asa numevɔ kpe ɖe nuɖuvɔ ŋu. Nunɔla la alé avu ɖe amea nu le Yehowa ŋkume.”
32 “Those are the regulations for anyone who has a contagious skin disease and who is poor and cannot afford the usual offerings, in order that he can be with people again.”
Esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe ŋutigbalẽdɔléla siwo mate ŋu axe fe ɖe vɔsasa siwo woɖo hena wo ŋutikɔkɔ o la ŋu.
33 Yahweh also said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
34 “I am about to give you Canaan land to belong to your people permanently. When you enter that land, there will be times when I cause/allow mildew to appear inside one of your houses.
“Ne mieɖo Kanaanyigba, afi si mele tsɔtsɔm na mi be wòanye mia tɔ dzi, eye meda kpodɔ ɖe aƒe aɖe me le anyigba la dzi la,
35 If that happens, the owner of that house must go to the priest and tell him, ‘There is something in my house that looks like mildew.’
ekema ele be aƒea tɔ nava gblɔ na nunɔla la be, ‘Edze nam abe ɖe kpodɔ le nye aƒe me ene!’
36 “Then the priest will say to him, ‘Take everything out of the house before I enter the house to examine the mildew. If you do not do that, I will declare that everything in the house is contaminated.’
Nunɔla la ana woafɔ nu sia nu ado goe le aƒea me hafi wòalé ŋku ɖe aƒea ŋu, ale be nu siwo le aƒea me la dometɔ aɖeke magazu nu makɔmakɔ ne ekpɔ be kpodɔ le aƒea me o.
37 [After the owner takes everything outside of his house], the priest will go in and inspect the house. If the mildew has caused greenish or reddish spots/depressions on the walls that seem to be deeper than only on the surface of the walls,
Ne ekpɔ aŋgbamu ƒe teƒe kple teƒe dzĩ aɖewo le aƒea me ƒe gliwo ŋu, eye teƒe mawo dze abe ɖe wonye ɖe eme vie ene la,
38 the priest will go outside the house and lock it up for seven days.
ele be nunɔla la natu aƒe la ŋkeke adre,
39 On the seventh day, he must go into the house and inspect it again. If the mildew on the walls has spread,
eye wòatrɔ ava le ŋkeke adrea gbe be wòagalé ŋku ɖe aƒea ŋu. Ne teƒeawo keke ɖe edzi le gliawo ŋu la,
40 the priest will tell someone to tear out and throw in the dump outside the town all the stones in the walls that have mildew on them.
ekema nunɔla la ana woadza teƒe mawo ɖa le gliawo ŋu, eye woalɔ gli kakawo aɖakɔ ɖe teƒe makɔmakɔ aɖe le dua godo.
41 Then the owner must scrape all the walls inside the house, and everything that is scraped off must be thrown into a dump outside the town.
Le esia megbe la, ana woaka xɔa me ƒe gliwo ŋu nyuie, eye woalɔ gli kakawo aɖakɔ ɖe teƒe makɔmakɔ aɖe le dua godo.
42 Then the owner must get new/other stones to replace the ones that had mildew on them, and take new clay and plaster [to cover the stones in the walls of] the house.
Woatsɔ kpe yeyewo aɖɔli kpe xoxo siwo woho le gliawo me, eye woagbugbɔ gliawo ŋu azrɔ̃.
43 “If the mildew appears again in the house after that is done,
“Ne aŋgbamu teƒe kple teƒe dzĩawo gadze la,
44 the priest must go and examine the house again. If the mildew has spread inside the house, it will be clear that the mildew is the kind that destroys [houses], and no one will be allowed to live in it.
nunɔla la agava alé ŋku ɖe wo ŋu, eye ne ekpɔ be wokeke ɖe edzi la, ekema atso nya me be kpodɔe, eye aƒea ŋu mekɔ o.
45 It must be completely torn down—the stones, the timber and the plaster—and all those things must be thrown into a dump outside the town.
Ana woagbã xɔ la, eye woalɔ kpeawo, atiawo kple anyi la aɖakɔ ɖe teƒe makɔmakɔ aɖe le dua godo.
46 “Anyone who goes into that house while it is locked up will not be allowed to be with other people until sunset of that day.
“Ame sia ame si ge ɖe aƒea me le esime wotui la, ŋu mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
47 Anyone who sleeps in that house or eats in that house [during that time] must wash his clothes.
Ele na ame sia ame si mlɔ aƒea me alo ɖu nu le eme la be wòanya eƒe awuwo.
48 “But when the priest comes to examine the house after it has been plastered, if the mildew has not spread, he shall declare that people may live in it, because the mildew is gone.
“Ke ne nunɔla la va zi evelia be yealé ŋku ɖe aƒea ŋu, eye teƒeawo megadze le gliawo ŋu zɔzrɔ̃ megbe o la, ekema atso nya me be aƒea ŋu kɔ, eye kpodɔ la megali o.
49 But before people are allowed to live in it, the priest must take two small birds and some cedar wood and some red/scarlet yarn and some hyssop.
Atsɔ xevi eve, sedati, ka dzĩ kple kakle awɔ nuŋukɔkɔ ƒe wɔnawoe.
50 He must kill one of the birds while [holding it] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.
Awu xeviawo dometɔ ɖeka ɖe ze si me tsi nyui le la me.
51 Then he must take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the red/scarlet yarn, and the other/living bird, and dip them into the blood of the dead bird, and sprinkle some of that blood on the house seven times.
Ekema atsɔ sedati la, kakle la, ka dzĩ la kple xevi gbagbe la ade xevi si wowu la ƒe ʋu kple tsi nyui me, eye wòahlẽe ɖe aƒea ŋu zi adre.
52 By doing all those things he will cause the house to be acceptable to be lived in again.
Akɔ aƒea ŋu kple xevi la ƒe ʋu, tsi nyui la, xevi gbagbe la, sedati la kple kakle kple ka dzĩ la.
53 Then he must release the other bird and allow it to fly away. By doing that, he will [finish the ritual for] causing the house to be acceptable for people to live in it again.
Aɖe asi le xevi gbagbe la ŋu wòadzo ayi gbe me le du la godo. Mɔ sia dzie wòato aɖe vɔ̃ ɖa le aƒe la ŋu, eye wòakɔ eŋuti.”
54 “Those are the regulations for contagious diseases, for itching sores,
Esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe teƒe vovovo siwo kpodɔ ado ɖo la ŋu,
55 for mildew [DOU] on clothes or in a house,

56 and for swellings, rashes, or bright spots [on sores],
le nutete teƒe, dzobi teƒe loo alo teƒe dzĩ aɖe le ame ƒe ŋutilã ŋu.
57 to find out whether a person has a contagious disease or not, and whether people will still be permitted to touch their clothing or their house, or not.”
Miato mɔ sia dzi anya nenye kpodɔe loo alo menye eyae o. Nu sia tae wona se siawo ɖo.
