Mose 3 13
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron bena,
The LORD spoke to Moses and to 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.
“When a man shall have a swelling in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests.
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.
The priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the body. If the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of leprosy; so the priest shall examine him and pronounce him unclean.
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.
If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn’t turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person 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.
The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. Behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more 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,
The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day. Behold, if the plague has faded and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and 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 scab spreads on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.
8 Eye nunɔla la agadoe kpɔ. Ne teƒea keke ɖe edzi la, ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be eŋuti mekɔ o, kpodɔe wòdze.
The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.
9 “Ne ame aɖe dze ŋutigbalẽdɔ si woate ŋu axɔ le ame ŋu la, woakplɔe ayi nunɔla gbɔe.
“When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then 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 the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
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 is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is already unclean.
12 “Ke ne nunɔla la kpɔ be kpodɔ la xɔ ŋuti katã na amea, tso eƒe tame yi eƒe afɔ gbɔ,
“If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest,
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.
then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.
14 Ke ne eƒe ŋutilã ƒe teƒe aɖe ƒlɔ la, ekema efia be edze kpodɔ.
But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.

The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.
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,
Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest.

The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
18 “Ne ƒoƒoe ƒo ame aɖe ƒe ŋutigbalẽ, wòɖi tsi vɔ,
“When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,

and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest.

The priest shall examine it. Behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in the boil.
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 priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him 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.
If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague.
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 the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him 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,
“Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white,

then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.

But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him 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.
The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.

If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.
29 “Ne ŋutsu alo nyɔnu aɖe dze abi ɖe ta alo glã la,

then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is an itch. It is leprosy of the head or of 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,
If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the person infected with itching seven days.

On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread in the skin, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean.
35 Ke ne teƒe la de asi keke me ɖe edzi emegbe la,
But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,

then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean.

But if in his eyes the itch is arrested and black hair has grown in it, then the itch is healed. He is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.
38 “Ne ŋutsu aɖe alo nyɔnu aɖe ƒe ŋutilã ƒe akpa aɖewo fu kpii,
“When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots,

then the priest shall examine them. Behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash. It has broken out in the skin. He is clean.
40 “Womatsɔ ame aɖeke ƒe ɖa ƒe bebe le ta nɛ abe anyidzedze ene o!
“If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.

If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, his forehead is bald. He is clean.

But if a reddish-white plague is in the bald head or the bald forehead, it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head or his bald forehead.

Then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the swelling of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the body,
44 ekema nunɔla la atso nya me be amea dze kpodɔ.
he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.
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!’
“The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’
46 Ŋkeke ale si dɔléle la le eŋu ko la, eŋuti mekɔ o. Ele be wòanɔ asaɖa la godo.”
All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. His dwelling shall be outside of the camp.

Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague hasn’t changed its color, and the plague hasn’t spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside.

and if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn what the plague is in with fire.

The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be clean.”

This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
