Mose 3 13
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron bena,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2 “Ne ame aɖe kpɔ nutete alo dzi alo teƒe aɖe si fu le eƒe ŋutilã ŋu si ate ŋu azu ŋutilã ƒe dɔxɔleameŋu la, woakplɔe ayi nunɔla Aron alo Via ŋutsu siwo nye nunɔlawo la dometɔ ɖeka gbɔ.
The man in whose skin or flesh there will have arisen a diverse color, or a pustule, or something that seems to shine, which is the mark of leprosy, shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to anyone you wish among his sons.
3 Nunɔla la alé ŋku ɖe abi si le eƒe ŋutigbalẽ ŋu la ŋu. Ne ŋutifu si le teƒea fu, eye teƒea nye ɖe eme vie la, ekema anyie. Nunɔla la atso nya me be anyidzela la ŋu mekɔ o.
And if he sees that leprosy is in his skin, and that the hair has turned a white color, and that the place where the leprosy appears is lower than the rest of the skin and the flesh, then it is the mark of leprosy, and at his judgment he shall be separated.
4 Ke ne teƒe si fu kpii la menye ɖe eme vie o, eye fu si le teƒea mefu o la, ekema nunɔla la aɖee ɖe aga ŋkeke adre.
But if there will be a shining whiteness in the skin, but it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is of unaffected color, the priest shall seclude him for seven days.
5 Le ŋkeke adrea gbe la, nunɔla la agadoe akpɔ. Ne teƒea metrɔ o, eye megakeke ɖe edzi hã o la, ekema nunɔla la aɖee ɖe aga ŋkeke adre bubu.
And on the seventh day he shall examine him, and if the leprosy certainly has not increased further, and has not spread itself in the skin, he shall seclude him again, for another seven days.
6 Nunɔla la agadoe akpɔ le ŋkeke adre evelia gbe. Ne dɔléle la dzi ka ɖe, eye teƒea megakeke ɖe edzi o la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be amea ŋuti kɔ, dzi koe ƒo ɖe eŋu. Nu si amea awɔ la koe nye wòanya eƒe awuwo, eye eƒe ŋuti akɔ,
And on the seventh day, he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy has become obscured, and has not increased in the skin, he shall declare him clean, because it is a scab. And the man shall wash his clothes, and he shall be clean.
7 gake nenye be dzi la keke ɖe edzi le eƒe ŋutigbalẽ ŋu esi wòtsɔ eɖokui fia nunɔla la be wòagblɔ be eŋuti kɔ vɔ megbe la, ele nɛ be wòagbugbɔ ayi nunɔla la gbɔ.
But if the leprosy increases again, after he was seen by the priest and restored to cleanness, he shall be brought to him,
8 Eye nunɔla la agadoe kpɔ. Ne teƒea keke ɖe edzi la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti mekɔ o, kpodɔe wòdze.
and he shall be condemned of uncleanness.
9 “Ne ame aɖe dze ŋutigbalẽdɔ si woate ŋu axɔ le ame ŋu la, woakplɔe ayi nunɔla gbɔe.
If the mark of leprosy has been in a man, he shall be brought to the priest,
10 Nunɔla la alé ŋku ɖe eŋu eye ne nutete ɣi aɖe le eƒe ŋutilã ŋu la,
and he shall look upon him. And when there is a white color in the skin, and it has an altered appearance in its hair, and also the same flesh seems alive,
11 ekema eme kɔ ƒãa be anyie, eye nunɔla la naɖe gbeƒã be eŋu mekɔ o. Mele be woagatu amea ɖe xɔ me be woagalé ŋku ɖe eŋu o, elabena eme kɔ ƒãa be edze dɔ la.
it shall be judged a chronic leprosy, which has grown into the skin. And so the priest shall declare him contaminated, and he shall not seclude him, because he is clearly unclean.
12 “Ke ne nunɔla la kpɔ be kpodɔ la xɔ ŋuti katã na amea, tso eƒe tame yi eƒe afɔ gbɔ,
But if the leprosy will have flourished, coursing through the skin, and will have covered all the skin from the head even to the feet, whatever falls under the sight of the eyes,
13 kple afi sia afi si wòakpɔ ɖa le la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti kɔ, nenye be eŋuti katã fu kpii la, ekema eŋuti kɔ le se la nu.
the priest shall examine him, and he shall judge that the leprosy that he possesses is very clean, because it has all turned to whiteness, and for this reason the man shall be clean.
14 Ke ne eƒe ŋutilã ƒe teƒe aɖe ƒlɔ la, ekema efia be edze kpodɔ.
Yet truly, when the living flesh shall appear in him,
15 Nunɔla la agalé ŋku ɖe eŋu, eye ne ekpɔ be eƒe ŋutilã ƒe akpa aɖe ƒlɔ la, ekema aɖe gbeƒã be ame la dze kpodɔ. Ŋutilã ƒe ƒɔƒlɔ fia be amea le kpodɔ lém, eya ta eŋuti mekɔ o.
then by the judgment of the priest he shall be polluted, and he shall be considered to be among the unclean. For the live flesh, if it is spotted with leprosy, is unclean.
16 Gake ne ŋutilã ƒe akpa si ƒlɔ la ɖɔ ɖo, eye wòle abe ŋutilãa ƒe akpa bubuawo ene la, ame la atrɔ ayi ɖe nunɔla la gbɔ,
And if again it will have turned into whiteness, and will have covered the entire man,
17 eye nunɔla la agadoe akpɔ. Nenye be teƒe ƒɔƒlɔ la ɖɔ ɖo abe ŋutilãa ƒe akpa bubuwo ene la, ekema eŋuti kɔ le se la nu, eye nunɔla la aɖe gbeƒã be eŋuti kɔ.
the priest shall examine him, and he shall discern him to be clean.
18 “Ne ƒoƒoe ƒo ame aɖe ƒe ŋutigbalẽ, wòɖi tsi vɔ,
But when there has been an ulcer in the flesh and the skin, and it has healed,
19 eye le teƒe si ƒoƒoe la ƒo nɛ nu ƒoƒoe wuliwuli aɖewo ƒo ɖi esiwo le ɣie alo le nu dzĩ kple nu ɣi dome la, ele nɛ be wòatsɔ eɖokui afia nunɔlaa.
and in the place of the ulcer, there appears a white or reddish scar, the man shall be brought to the priest.
20 Ne nunɔla la doe kpɔ, eye wòkpɔ be dɔléle la tso keke eƒe lãme, ke eye fu si le teƒea fu kpii la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be, eŋuti mekɔ o, elabena edze kpodɔ to ƒoƒoe la teƒe.
And when he will have seen the place of the leprosy lower than the rest of the flesh, and that the hair has turned white, he shall declare him contaminated. For the plague of leprosy has arisen from the ulcer.
21 Ke ne nunɔla la kpɔ be fu ɣi aɖeke mele teƒea o, eye teƒea hã menye ɖe eme o, ke teƒea le fufu kple nyɔnyɔ dome la, ekema nunɔla la aɖee ɖe aga ŋkeke adre.
But if the hair is of the usual color, and the scar is somewhat obscure and is not lower than the nearby flesh, he shall seclude him for seven days.
22 Ne teƒea keke ɖe edzi le ŋkeke adre mawo me la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti mekɔ o, ezu kpodɔléla.
And if it will have certainly increased, he shall judge him to have leprosy.
23 Ke ne teƒea mekeke ɖe edzi o la, ekema ƒoƒoe la ƒe abiteƒe koe. Nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti kɔ.
But if it stays in its place, it is the scar of an ulcer, and the man shall be clean.
24 “Ne dzo me ame aɖe ƒe ŋutigbalẽ, eye emegbe teƒea biã loo alo le biabiã kple fufu dome alo fu kpii le teƒe si dzoa me na amea la,
But if flesh and skin has been burned by fire, and, having been healed, now has a white or red scar,
25 ele be nunɔla la nalé ŋku ɖe teƒea ŋu. Ne fu si le teƒea fu, eye wòdze abe dɔléle la tso amea ƒe lãme ke ene la, ekema woanya be amea dze kpodɔ to dzobi la teƒe, eye nunɔla la aɖe gbeƒã be eŋuti mekɔ o, edze anyi.
the priest shall examine it, and if he sees that it has turned white, and that its place is lower than the rest of the skin, he shall declare him contaminated, for the mark of leprosy has arisen in the scar.
26 Ke ne nunɔla la kpɔ be fu ɣi aɖeke mele teƒea o, teƒea ƒe biabia metso amea ƒe lãme ke o, eye eƒe amadede dzi nɔ ɖeɖem kpɔtɔ la, ekema nunɔla la atui ɖe xɔ me ŋkeke adre,
But if the color of the hair has not been changed, nor is the mark lower than the rest of the flesh, and the leprosy itself appears to be somewhat obscure, he shall seclude him for seven days,
27 eye wòagadoe kpɔ le ŋkeke adrea gbe. Ne teƒea keke ɖe edzi la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋu mekɔ o, edze kpodɔ.
and on the seventh day he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy will have increased further in the skin, he shall declare him contaminated.
28 Ke ne teƒe biabiã la medze le teƒe bubu aɖeke loo alo keke ɖe edzi o, eye eƒe biabiã dzi ɖe kpɔtɔ la, ekema wòanya be dzobi la ƒe abiteƒe koe. Ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti kɔ, dzobi la teƒe koe ɖi atse.
But if the whiteness stays in its place and is not very clear, it is the mark of a burn, and for this reason he shall be declared clean, because it is only the scar from a burn.
29 “Ne ŋutsu alo nyɔnu aɖe dze abi ɖe ta alo glã la,
If leprosy will have sprung up in the head or the beard of a man or woman, the priest shall look upon them,
30 nunɔla alé ŋku ɖe abi la ŋu. Ne abi la teƒe dze abe ɖe wòde eme wu amea ƒe ŋutilã, ɖa si le afi ma ƒe amadede le abe aŋutiɖiɖi ene, eye wòle belie la, nunɔla la aɖe gbeƒã be amea ŋuti mekɔ o; enye ta alo glã ƒe dɔléle.
and if the place is certainly lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is golden, and thinner than usual, he shall declare them contaminated, because it is the leprosy of the head and the beard.
31 Ke ne nunɔla la kpɔ be ŋutigbalẽ la ŋuti ko abi la dzɔ tso, eye ɖa yibɔ le abia me la, ekema atui ɖe xɔ me ŋkeke adre,
But if he sees that the place of the spot is equal with the nearby flesh, and that the hair is black, he shall seclude him for seven days,
32 eye wòagadoe kpɔ le ŋkeke adrea gbe. Ne teƒe la mekeke ɖe edzi o, ne fu si le afi ma ƒe amadede meɖi aŋuti ɖiɖi tɔ o, eye ne medze be dɔléle aɖee tso eƒe lãme ke o la,
and on the seventh day he shall examine it. If the spot has not increased, and the hair has kept its color, and the place of the mark is equal with the rest of the flesh,
33 ekema nunɔla la aƒlɔ ɖa, aƒo xlã teƒe la, ke menye le teƒea ŋutɔ o. Nunɔla la agatui ɖe xɔ me ŋkeke adre bubu,
the man shall be shaven, except in the place of the spot, and he shall be secluded for another seven days.
34 eye wòagadoe kpɔ le ŋkeke adrea gbe. Ne teƒe la mekeke ɖe edzi o, eye medze abe dɔléle la tso ŋutigbalẽ la te o ene la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be medze kpodɔ o. Ekema ne enya eƒe awuwo ko la, eŋuti kɔ.
On the seventh day, if the mark seems to have stayed in its place, and it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, he shall declare him clean, and, his clothes having been washed, he shall be clean.
35 Ke ne teƒe la de asi keke me ɖe edzi emegbe la,
But if, after his cleansing, the spot will have increased again in the skin,
36 ekema nunɔla la agadoe kpɔ, eye magalala be yeakpɔ be ɖa ƒe amadede trɔ ɖi aŋuti ɖiɖi hafi wòatso nya me be amea dze kpodɔ o.
he shall no longer inquire as to whether the hair has turned yellow, because he is plainly unclean.
37 Gake ne edze be teƒe la megale kekem ɖe edzi o, eye ɖa yibɔ le teƒea la, ekema dɔléle la nu tso, amea menye kpodɔléla o, eya ta nunɔla la atso nya me be eƒe ŋuti kɔ.
Furthermore, if the spot has not increased, and the hair is black, let him know that the man is healed: and let him confidently pronounce him clean.
38 “Ne ŋutsu aɖe alo nyɔnu aɖe ƒe ŋutilã ƒe akpa aɖewo fu kpii,
If a whiteness will have appeared in the skin of a man or a woman,
39 eye teƒe la ƒe fufu dzi le ɖeɖem kpɔtɔ la, ekema amea medze anyi o, ke boŋ dɔléle aɖe koe ƒo ɖe eŋu.
the priest shall examine them. If he detects an obscured whiteness shining in the skin, may he know that it is not leprosy, but a white-colored blemish, and that the man is clean.
40 “Womatsɔ ame aɖeke ƒe ɖa ƒe bebe le ta nɛ abe anyidzedze ene o!
The man whose hair falls off of his head is bald and clean.
41 Ne ɖa vɔ le ame aɖe ƒe ŋgonu la, ekema amea ƒe ŋgoe kpã: esia menye anyidzedze o.
And if the hair falls off of his forehead, he is bald in front and clean.
42 Ke ne teƒe aɖe le biabiã kple fufu dome le ta kpakpã la teƒe la, ekema anye kpodɔ dzem wòle.
But if in the bald head or bald forehead there has arisen a white or reddish color,
43 Ekema nunɔla la adoe akpɔ. Ne teƒe la le kpokploo, mebiã tututu o, eye mefu tututu abe kpodɔ ƒe dzesi ene o hã la,
and the priest will have seen this, he shall condemn him without doubt of leprosy, which has arisen in the baldness.
44 ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be amea dze kpodɔ.
Therefore, whoever will have been spotted by leprosy, and who has been separated at the judgment of the priest,
45 “Ele na ame si wokpɔ be edze kpodɔ la be wòadze eƒe awuwo, ana eƒe taɖa nato ʋutuu, wòatsyɔ nu eƒe nuyi dziƒotɔ dzi, eye wòanɔ yiyim anɔ ɣli dom be, ‘Nye ŋuti mekɔ o, nye ŋuti mekɔ o!’
shall have his clothes unstitched, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth, and he himself shall cry out that he is contaminated and filthy.
46 Ŋkeke ale si dɔléle la le eŋu ko la, eŋuti mekɔ o. Ele be wòanɔ asaɖa la godo.”
The entire time that he is a leper and unclean he shall live alone outside the camp.
47 “Ne nane dze le nudodo alo nutata aɖe me, eɖanye lãfu tɔ alo ɖeti tɔ,
A woolen or linen garment that will have held the leprosy,
48 alo nu si wolɔ̃ kple ɖeti alo lãfu,
in the main fibers or in any of the threads, or certainly in a skin, or whatever has been made from a skin,
49 eye aŋgbamu alo ama dzĩ teƒe aɖe le eme la, anye kpodɔ. Ekema woatsɔ nu la ayi na nunɔla wòadoe akpɔ.
if it has been infected with a white or red spot, it shall be considered to be leprosy, and it shall be shown to the priest.
50 Nunɔla la atsɔ nu la adzra ɖo ŋkeke adre,
And he, having examined it, shall close it up for seven days.
51 eye wòagalé ŋku ɖe eŋu le ŋkeke adrea gbe. Ne teƒe la keke ɖe edzi la, ekema kpodɔ si woate ŋu axɔ lae.
And on the seventh day, having looked at it again, if he detects an increase, it is a persistent leprosy; he shall judge the garment to be polluted, along with everything with which it has been found.
52 Ekema ele be nunɔla la natɔ dzo awu la, avɔ la alo nu si wolɔ̃ kple lãfu, ɖeti alo lãgbalẽ la, elabena woate ŋu axɔ kpodɔ la, eya ta ele be woatɔ dzoe.
And because of this, it shall be burned in flames.
53 “Ke ne nunɔla la lé ŋku ɖe eŋu le ŋkeke adrea gbe, eye wòkpɔ be teƒe la mekeke ɖe edzi o la,
But if he will have seen that it has not increased,
54 ekema ana woanya alo aklɔ nu la, eye wòatsɔe adzra ɖo ŋkeke adre.
he shall instruct them, and they shall wash whatever has the leprosy in it, and he shall close it up for another seven days.
55 Le ŋkeke adrea megbe, ne teƒe la ƒe amadede metrɔ o, togbɔ be teƒe la mekeke ɖe edzi o hã la, efia be kpodɔe, eya ta ele be woatɔ dzoe, elabena kpodɔ le eme.
And when he will have seen that the former appearance has not returned, even if the leprosy has not increased, he shall judge it to be unclean, and he shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has been infused in the exterior of the garment, or throughout the whole.
56 Ne nunɔla la kpɔ be teƒe la ƒe amadede klo le nua nyanya megbe la, ekema alã teƒe la ɖa le avɔ la, lãgbalẽnu alo nu lɔlɔ̃ la me.
But if the place of the leprosy has become somewhat darker, after the garment has been washed, he shall tear it away, and separate it from the part that is sound.
57 Ke ne wogakpɔ dzesi ma le nu lɔlɔ̃a me la, ekema kpodɔe: ele be nunɔla la natɔ dzoe.
But if, after this, there will appear in those places which before were immaculate, a flying and wandering leprosy, it must be burned with fire.
58 Ke ne dzesi ma megadze le nu lɔlɔ̃a nyanya vɔ megbe o la, woaganyae, eye woagate ŋu awɔ eŋu dɔ azɔ.”
If it will have ceased, he shall wash with water the parts which are pure for a second time, and they shall be clean.
59 Esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe kpodɔ ƒe avɔ si wolɔ̃ kple lãfu alo ɖeti me nɔnɔ ŋuti. Wofia ale si woawɔ aka ɖe edzi be kpodɔléle la le eme loo alo mele eme o.
This is the law about leprosy for any woolen or linen garment, in the weave and in the threads, and for all items made from skins, how it must be declared either clean or contaminated.
