Leviticus 13
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Yahvé habló a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:
2 “When anyone has on the skin of his body a swelling or scab or a bright spot, and it becomes infected and there is a skin disease in his body, then he must be brought to Aaron the high 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 Then the priest will examine the disease in the skin of his body. If the hair in the diseased area has turned white, and if the disease appears to be deeper than just on the skin, then it is an infectious disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce 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 If the bright spot in his skin is white, and the appearance of it is no deeper than the skin, and if the hair in the diseased area has not turned white, then the priest must isolate the one with the disease 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 On the seventh day, the priest must examine him to see if in his opinion the disease is not any worse, and if it has not spread in the skin. If it has not, then the priest must isolate him seven days more.
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 The priest will examine him again on the seventh day to see if the disease is better and has not spread farther in the skin. If it has not, then the priest will pronounce him clean. It is a rash. He must wash his clothes, and then he is 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 But if the rash has spread in the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must then show himself to the priest again.
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 The priest will examine him to see if the rash has spread farther in the skin. If it has spread, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease.
El sacerdote lo examinará, y si la costra se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es lepra.
9 When an infectious skin disease is in someone, then he must be brought to the priest.
“Cuando la plaga de la lepra esté en un hombre, será llevado al sacerdote;
10 The priest will examine him to see if there is a white swelling in the skin, if the hair has turned white, or if there is raw flesh in the swelling.
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 If there is, then it is a chronic skin disease, and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He will not isolate him, because he is already 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 If the disease breaks out widely in the skin and covers all the skin of the person with the disease from his head to his feet, as far as it appears to 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 must examine him to see if the disease has covered all his body. If it has, then the priest must pronounce the person who has the disease as clean. If it has all turned white, then 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 But if raw flesh appears on him, he will be unclean.
Pero cuando la carne viva aparezca en él, será impuro.
15 The priest must look at the raw flesh and pronounce him unclean because the raw flesh is unclean. It is an infectious disease.
El sacerdote examinará la carne viva y lo declarará impuro: la carne viva es impura. Es lepra.
16 But if the raw flesh turns white again, then the person must go to the priest.
O si la carne viva se vuelve y se convierte en blanca, entonces vendrá al sacerdote.
17 The priest will examine him to see if the flesh has turned white. If it has then the priest will pronounce that person to be clean.
El sacerdote lo examinará. Si la llaga se ha vuelto blanca, el sacerdote lo declarará limpio de la llaga. Está limpio.
18 When a person has a boil on the skin and it has healed,
“Cuando el cuerpo tenga un forúnculo en la piel, y se haya curado,
19 and in place of the boil there is white swelling or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it must be shown to 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 The priest will examine it to see if it appears deeper under the skin, and if the hair there has turned white. If so, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease, if it has developed in the place where the boil was.
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 But if the priest examines it and sees that there is no white hair in it, and that it is not under the skin but has faded, then the priest must isolate him 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 If it spreads widely in the skin, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease.
Si se extiende en la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es una plaga.
23 But if the bright spot stays in its place and has not spread, then it is the scar of the boil, and the priest must pronounce 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 When the skin has a burn and the raw flesh of the burn has become a reddish-white or white spot,
“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 then the priest will examine it to see if the hair in that spot has turned white, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin. If it has, then it is an infectious disease. It has broken out in the burn, and the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease.
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 But if the priest examines it and finds that there is no white hair in the spot, and it is not under the skin but has faded, then the priest must isolate him 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 Then the priest must examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread widely in the skin, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease.
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 If the spot stays in its place and has not spread in the skin but has faded, then it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest must pronounce him clean, for it is nothing more than the scar of the burn.
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 If a man or woman has an infectious disease on the head or chin,
“Cuando un hombre o una mujer tenga una plaga en la cabeza o en la barba,
30 then the priest must examine the person for an infectious disease to see if it appears to be deeper than the skin, and if there is yellow, thin hair in it. If there is, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an itch, an infectious disease on the head or the chin.
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 If the priest examines the itching disease and sees that it is not under the skin, and if there is no black hair in it, then the priest will isolate the person with the itching disease 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 On the seventh day the priest will examine the disease to see if it has spread. If there is no yellow hair, and if the disease appears to be only skin deep,
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 must be shaved, but the diseased area must not be shaved, and the priest must isolate the person with the itching disease for seven more days.
entonces será afeitado, pero no afeitará la picazón. Entonces el sacerdote aislará al que tiene la picazón siete días más.
34 On the seventh day the priest will examine the disease to see if it has stopped spreading in the skin. If it appears to be no deeper than the skin, then the priest must pronounce him clean. The person must wash his clothes, and then he will be 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 But if the itching disease has spread widely in the skin after the priest said he was clean,
Pero si la picazón se extiende en la piel después de su limpieza,
36 then the priest must examine him again. If the disease has spread in the skin, the priest does not need to seek for yellow hair. The person 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 But if in the priest's view the itching disease has stopped spreading and black hair has grown in the area, then the disease has healed. He is clean, and the priest must pronounce 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 If a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
“Cuando un hombre o una mujer tenga manchas brillantes en la piel del cuerpo, incluso manchas blancas brillantes,
39 then the priest must examine the person to see if the spots are a dull white, which is only a rash that has 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 If a man's hair has fallen out of his head, he is bald, but he is clean.
“Si a un hombre se le cae el pelo de la cabeza, es calvo. Está limpio.
41 If his hair has fallen out of the front part of his head, and if his forehead is bald, he is clean.
Si se le ha caído el pelo de la parte delantera de la cabeza, es calvo de frente. Está limpio.
42 But if there is a reddish-white sore on his bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease that has broken out.
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 Then the priest must examine him to see if the swelling of the diseased area on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white, like the appearance of an infectious disease in the skin.
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 If it is, then he has an infectious disease and he is unclean. The priest must surely pronounce him unclean because of his disease on his head.
es un hombre leproso. Es impuro. El sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Su plaga está en su cabeza.
45 The person who has an infectious disease must wear torn clothes, his hair must hang loosely, and he must cover his face up to his nose and call out, '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 All the days that he has the infectious disease he will be unclean. Because he is unclean with a disease that can spread, he must live alone. He must live outside the camp.
Todo el tiempo que la plaga esté en él, será impuro. Es impuro. Vivirá solo. Su morada estará fuera del campamento.
47 A garment that is contaminated with mildew, whether it is a wool or linen garment,
“También el vestido en el que esté la plaga de la lepra, sea de lana o de lino;
48 or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen, or leather or anything made with leather—
sea de urdimbre o de trama; de lino o de lana; sea de cuero o de cualquier cosa de cuero;
49 if there is a greenish or reddish contamination in the garment, the leather, the woven or knitted material, or anything made of leather, then it is a mildew that spreads; it must be 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 The priest must examine the item for mildew; he must isolate anything that has mildew for seven days.
El sacerdote examinará la plaga y la aislará durante siete días.
51 He must examine the mildew again on the seventh day. If it has spread in the garment or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen material, or leather or anything in which leather is used, then it is harmful mildew, and the item 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 He must burn the garment, or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen material, or leather or anything made with leather, anything in which the harmful mildew is found, for it can lead to disease. The item must be completely burned up.
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 If the priest examines the item and sees that the mildew has not spread in the garment or material woven or knitted from wool or linen, or leather goods,
“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 he will command them to wash the item in which the mildew was found, and he must isolate it for seven more days.
entonces el sacerdote ordenará que laven el objeto en que está la peste, y lo aislará siete días más.
55 Then the priest will examine the item after the mildewed item was washed. If the mildew has not changed its color, even though it has not spread, it is unclean. You must burn the item, no matter where the mildew has contaminated it.
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 If the priest examines the item, and if the mildew has faded after it was washed, then he must tear out the contaminated part from the garment or from the leather, or from the woven or knitted material.
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 If the mildew still appears in the garment, either in the woven or knitted material, or in anything made of leather, it is spreading. You must burn any item that has the mildew.
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 The garment or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen material, or leather or anything made with leather—if you wash the item and the mildew is gone, then the item must be washed a second time, and it will be 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 about mildew in a garment of wool or linen, or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen material, or leather or anything made with leather, so that you may pronounce it clean or 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.
