Leviticus 14
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis, sị,
2 “These are the regulations for anyone who has been healed of a contagious skin disease.
“Ndị a bụ usoro iwu gbasara onye ọrịa ekpenta nʼoge a na-eme mmemme ịdị ọcha ya, mgbe e dutere ya bịakwute onye nchụaja.
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,
Onye nchụaja ga-apụ gaa nʼazụ ebe obibi nọdụ nʼebe ahụ lee ya ahụ, ịchọpụta ma ọrịa ekpenta ya ọ laala nʼezie. Ọ bụrụ na ọrịa ya alaala,
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).
onye nchụaja ga-enye iwu ka e weta nnụnụ abụọ dị ndụ, na ụfọdụ osisi sida, na eriri ogho uhie, na hisọp, maka onye ahụ a ga-emere mmemme ịdị ọcha.
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.
Onye nchụaja ga-enye iwu ka e gbuo otu nʼime nnụnụ abụọ ahụ nʼelu mmiri e si nʼọdọ mmiri na-asọ asọ kute nke dị nʼime ite aja.
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.
Ọ ga-ewere nnụnụ nke ọzọ dị ndụ, ya na osisi sida ahụ, na ogho uhie ahụ, na hisọp ahụ, denye ha nʼime ọbara nnụnụ ahụ e gburu nʼelu mmiri ahụ.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja ga-efe ọbara ahụ ugboro asaa nʼahụ onye ahụ a na-eme ka ọ dị ọcha site nʼọrịa ekpenta. Ọ ga-ekwupụtakwa na a gwọọla onye ahụ. Emesịa, ọ ga-ahapụ nnụnụ ahụ ka o felaa nʼọhịa.
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.
“Onye ahụ e mere ka ọ dị ọcha ga-asacha uwe ya, kpụchaa ntutu isi ya, saakwa ahụ ya. Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-adị ọcha. Emesịa, ọ ga-esoro ndị mmadụ biri nʼobodo. Ma ọ gaghị abanye nʼụlọ nke aka ya tutu ụbọchị asaa agafee.
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.
Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, ọ ga-akpụchapụ ntutu isi ya, na afụọnụ ya, na ikuanya ya, na ajị ndị ọzọ dị ya nʼahụ. Ọ ga-asa uwe ya na ahụ ya niile. Mgbe ahụ, a ga-agụ ya nʼonye dị ọcha.
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.
“Nʼụbọchị nke asatọ, ọ ga-ewere ebule abụọ na-enweghị ntụpọ, na otu nne atụrụ nke na-enweghị ntụpọ gbara otu afọ, ya na iri iko ọka a kwọrọ nke ọma a gwakọtara mmanụ oliv maka aja mkpụrụ ọka, na otu iko mmanụ.
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.
Onye nchụaja ahụ lere ya ahụ sị na ha dị ọcha, ga-ewere aja ndị a, ha na onye ahụ a na-aga ime ka ọ dị ọcha chee nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute.
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].
“Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja ahụ ga-ewere otu nʼime ụmụ ebule ahụ, na otu iko mmanụ chụọ ya dịka onyinye aja ikpe ọmụma. Ọ ga-efufe ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka aja mfufe.
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.
Ọ ga-egbu nwa ebule ahụ nʼakụkụ ebe nsọ ahụ, nʼebe a na-anọ egbu anụ aja mmehie na aja nsure ọkụ. Ọ bụ onye nchụaja ga-ewere anụ aja ikpe ọmụma a, dịka o were nke aja mmehie. Ọ bụ ihe dịkarịsịrị nsọ.
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.
Onye nchụaja ahụ ga-ewere ụfọdụ nʼime ọbara aja ikpe ọmụma ahụ, tee nʼọnụ ntị aka nri nke onye ahụ a na-eme ka ọ dị ọcha. Ọ ga-etekwa ya nʼisi mkpụrụ aka nke aka nri ya, na nʼelu isi mkpụrụ ụkwụ nke ụkwụ aka nri ya.
15 Then the priest must take some of the olive oil and pour it in the palm of his own left hand.
Emesịa onye nchụaja ga-awụnyetụ mmanụ oliv ahụ nʼọbụaka nke aka ekpe ya,
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.
ọ ga-arụnye otu mkpịsịaka nri ya nʼime mmanụ dị nʼọbụaka ya, ọ ga-ewere mkpịsịaka ya fesa ụfọdụ nʼime ya ugboro asaa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
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.
Onye nchụaja ga-ewere mmanụ ahụ fọdụrụ nʼọbụaka ya tee ya onye ahụ nʼọnụ ntị aka nri nke onye ahụ a na-aga ime ka ọ dị ọcha, na nʼisi mkpụrụ aka nke aka nri ya, na nʼisi mkpụrụ ụkwụ nke aka nri ya, nʼelu ọbara aja ikpe ọmụma ahụ mee.
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.
Ọ ga-ete mmanụ ahụ fọdụrụ nʼaka ya, nʼisi onye ahụ a na-eme ka ọ dị ọcha. Onye nchụaja ga-ekpuchikwara ha mmehie ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
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].
“Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja ga-achụ aja mmehie, kpuchiere onye ahụ a ga-eme ka ọ dị ọcha site na-adịghị ọcha ha mmehie ya. Emesịa, onye nchụaja ga-egbu aja nsure ọkụ ahụ,
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.
were ya na onyinye mkpụrụ ọka chụọrọ onye ahụ aja, maka ikpuchiri ya mmehie ya. Mgbe ahụ, a ga-agụ onye ahụ nʼonye dị ọcha.
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,
“Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ ogbenye onye na-enweghị ike iweta ihe ndị a, ha aghaghị iwere otu nwa ebule dịka aja ikpe ọmụma nke a ga-efufe nʼihi aja ikpuchi mmehie ha, Ọ ga-ewetakwa iko ọka a kwọrọ nke ọma asaa maọbụ ihe ọtụtụ efaa a gwara mmanụ oliv dịka aja mkpụrụ ọka, ya na otu iko mmanụ.
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].
Ọ ga-ewetakwa nduru abụọ maọbụ kpalakwukwu abụọ, nke ọbụla o nwere ike iweta. Otu ga-abụ maka aja mmehie, nke ọzọ ga-abụ maka aja nsure ọkụ.
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.
“Ọ ga-ewere ha nye onye nchụaja nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼụbọchị nke asatọ ya, maka ime ka ha dị ọcha.
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.
Onye nchụaja ga-ewerekwa nwa atụrụ aja ikpe ọmụma ahụ, ya na otu iko mmanụ oliv ahụ, fufee ha nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị.
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.
Ọ ga-egbu nwa atụrụ aja ikpe ọmụma ahụ, were ụfọdụ ọbara ya tee nʼọnụ ntị aka nri onye ahụ a na-aga ime ka ọ dị ọcha, na nʼisi mkpụrụ aka nke aka nri ya, na nʼisi mkpụrụ ụkwụ nke aka nri ya.
26 Then the priest will pour some of the oil into the palm of his left hand,
Onye nchụaja ahụ ga-awụnye ụfọdụ mmanụ oliv ahụ nʼọbụaka nke aka ekpe ya,
27 and with his right forefinger he must sprinkle some of the oil from his palm there in my presence.
ọ ga-ewere mkpịsịaka nri ya fesa ụfọdụ mmanụ ahụ nke dị nʼọbụaka ya ugboro asaa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
28 He must put some of the oil in his palm on the same places where he put the blood.
Ọ ga-etekwa ụfọdụ mmanụ ahụ dị nʼaka ya nʼebe ndị ahụ o tere ọbara ikpe ọmụma ahụ, nke bụ nʼọnụ ntị onye ahụ nke a na-eme ka ọ dị ọcha, na nʼisi mkpụrụ aka nke aka nri ya, na nʼisi mkpụrụ ụkwụ nke aka nri ya.
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.
Mmanụ nke fọdụrụ nʼaka ya ka onye nchụaja ga-ete nʼisi onye ahụ a na-eme ka ọ dị ọcha, ikpuchi mmehie ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
30 Then the priest must sacrifice the doves or the pigeons, whichever that person has brought.
Emesịa, ọ ga-eji nduru abụọ ahụ maọbụ kpalakwukwu abụọ ahụ, nke ọbụla o nwere ike iweta, chụọ aja.
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.
Otu ga-abụ maka aja mmehie, nke ọzọ ga-abụ maka aja nsure ọkụ, ha na aja mkpụrụ ọka. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, onye nchụaja ga-ekpuchiri ya mmehie ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, bụ onye ahụ a na-eme ka ọ dị ọcha.”
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.”
Ndị a bụ usoro iwu dịrị onye ọbụla e sitere nʼọrịa ekpenta mee ka ọ dị ọcha, onye aka ya na-erughị iweta ihe o kwesiri iweta, bụ nke e ji eme ka ọ dị ọcha.
33 Yahweh also said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị,
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.
“Mgbe unu banyere ala Kenan, bụ ala ahụ m na-enye unu, ọ bụrụ na o nwee ụlọ ọbụla m webatara ọrịa na-efe efe,
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.’
onyenwe ụlọ ahụ ga-ejekwuru onye nchụaja sị ya, ‘Ahụla m ihe yiri ọrịa na-efe efe nʼụlọ m.’
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.’
Onye nchụaja ahụ ga-enye iwu ka a kwapụsịa ihe niile dị nʼụlọ ahụ tupu ọ gaa lezie ụlọ ahụ anya, ka ihe niile dị nʼụlọ ahụ ghara ịbụ ihe rụrụ arụ, ma ọ bụrụ na achọpụta ọrịa na-efe efe nʼụlọ ahụ. Mgbe a kwapụtasịrị ihe dị nʼụlọ ahụ, onye nchụaja ga-aga lee ụlọ ahụ.
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,
Ọ ga-ele ntụpọ dị nʼahụ ụlọ ahụ. Ọ bụrụ na ntụpọ ahụ na-acha ahịhịa ndụ ahịhịa ndụ, maọbụ ọbara ọbara, ọ bụrụkwa na ha miri emi karịa aja ụlọ ahụ nʼile anya,
38 the priest will go outside the house and lock it up for seven days.
onye nchụaja ga-esi nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ahụ pụọ, kpọchie ụlọ ahụ ụbọchị asaa.
39 On the seventh day, he must go into the house and inspect it again. If the mildew on the walls has spread,
Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, onye nchụaja ga-alọghachi bịa lee ụlọ ahụ ọzọ. Ọ bụrụ na ntụpọ ahụ agbasaala nʼaja ụlọ ahụ,
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.
onye nchụaja ga-enye iwu ka e tida akụkụ aja ụlọ ahụ bufuo ya nʼebe a na-ekpofu ihe rụrụ arụ nʼazụ obodo.
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.
Ọ ga-enyekwa iwu ka a kpụchaa aja ụlọ niile dị nʼime ụlọ ahụ, bufukwaa aja niile a kpụchapụtara nʼebe a na-ekpofu ihe rụrụ arụ nʼazụ obodo.
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.
A ga-ebute nkume ọzọ jiri ha dochie ndị ahụ e bupụsịrị. A ga-ejikwa ụrọ ọhụrụ tee ụlọ ahụ ọzọ.
43 “If the mildew appears again in the house after that is done,
“Ma ọ bụrụ na ntụpọ ahụ apụta ọzọ, mgbe e bupụsịrị nkume ndị ahụ, ma mgbe a kpuchasịrị aja ụlọ ma techikwaa ya,
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.
onye nchụaja ga-abịa lee ya. Ọ bụrụ na ọ hụ na ntụpọ ahụ agbasaala ọzọ, ọ ga-agụ ụlọ ahụ dịka ihe rụrụ arụ, nʼihi na ntụpọ ahụ bụ ọrịa na-efe efe.
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.
Ọ ga-enye iwu ka a kwatuo ụlọ ahụ bufukwaa ihe niile e jiri rụọ ya, nkume niile, osisi niile na ụrọ niile, nʼebe a na-ekpofu ihe rụrụ arụ nʼazụ obodo.
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.
“Onye ọbụla banyere nʼụlọ ahụ nʼoge e mechiri ya, ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ ruo nʼoge uhuruchi.
47 Anyone who sleeps in that house or eats in that house [during that time] must wash his clothes.
Onye ọbụla dinara ala maọbụ rie nri nʼime ya, ga-asacha uwe ya.
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.
“Ma ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja abịa hụ na ntụpọ ahụ apụtaghị ọzọ, mgbe e techara ụlọ ahụ ụrọ nke ugboro abụọ, ọ ga-agụ ya nʼụlọ dị ọcha, nʼihi na ọrịa ahụ na-efe efe alaala.
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.
Ọ ga-ejikwa nnụnụ abụọ, na osisi sida, na ogho uhie, na osisi hisọp mee mmemme ido ihe ọcha.
50 He must kill one of the birds while [holding it] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.
Ọ ga-egbu otu nʼime nnụnụ ndị ahụ nʼelu mmiri e si nʼiyi na-asọ asọ kute, nke dị nʼime ite aja.
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.
Ọ ga-edenye osisi sida ahụ, na ogho uhie ahụ, na osisi hisọp ahụ, nʼime ọbara nnụnụ ahụ na mmiri ahụ. Ọ ga-efesa ọbara ahụ nʼụlọ ahụ ugboro asaa.
52 By doing all those things he will cause the house to be acceptable to be lived in again.
Ọ bụ ọbara nnụnụ ahụ, na mmiri ahụ, na nnụnụ nke ọzọ ahụ dị ndụ, na osisi sida ahụ na hisọp ahụ, na ogho uhie ahụ ka ọ ga-eji mee ka ụlọ ahụ dị ọcha.
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.
Ọ ga-ahapụ nnụnụ ahụ dị ndụ ka o fepụ felaa nʼọhịa dị nʼazụ obodo. Nke a ga-abụ otu e si kpuchiere ụlọ ahụ mmehie ya. Ọ ga-adịkwa ọcha.”
54 “Those are the regulations for contagious diseases, for itching sores,
Ndị a bụ usoro iwu metụtara ọrịa ekpenta, na ọkọ,
55 for mildew [DOU] on clothes or in a house,
na ọrịa na-efe efe dị nʼuwe maọbụ nʼụlọ,
56 and for swellings, rashes, or bright spots [on sores],
maọbụ etuto, maọbụ ntụpọ, maọbụ ọnya.
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.”
Iwu ndị a ga-enye aka ịmata ihe rụrụ arụ maọbụ ihe na-adịghị ọcha. Ndị a bụ usoro iwu metụtara ọrịa ekpenta na ọrịa na-efe efe.
