< Levitik 13 >

1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale Moïse avèk Aaron. Li te di:
Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
2 “Lè yon nonm vin gen sou po kò li yon enflamasyon, yon gal, oswa yon tach blanch, e li vin gen yon enfeksyon lalèp sou po kò li, alò, li va pote bay Aaron, prèt la, oswa yon prèt nan fis li yo.
“When someone has on his skin a swelling or a rash or a shiny/bright spot that may become (contagious/a dreaded skin disease), he must be brought to Aaron or to one of his sons who are also priests.
3 Prèt la va gade bouton an sou po kò a. Si plim nan enfeksyon an vin blan, e enfeksyon an parèt pi fon ke po kò a, li se yon enfeksyon lalèp. Lè prèt la fin gade li, li va pwononse li pa pwòp.
The priest must examine that part of the person’s skin. If the hair in that area has become white and it appears that the sore is deeper than just on the skin, it is a contagious skin disease. When the priest sees that, he must declare that the person must stay away from other people [MTY].
4 Men si bouton blan an sou po kò a, men li pa parèt pi fon ke po a, epi plim sou li pa vin blan, alò, prèt la va izole li pandan sèt jou.
If the spot on the person’s skin is white but it does not appear that the sore is deeper than just on the skin, the priest must tell him to stay away from other people for seven days.
5 Prèt la va gade li nan setyèm jou a. Epi selon sa li wè, si enfeksyon an pa chanje, enfeksyon an pa gaye sou po a, alò, prèt la va fè l izole pandan sèt jou ankò.
Then the priest must examine the person again. If the priest sees that the sore has not changed and has not spread, he must tell the person to stay away from people for seven more days.
6 Prèt la va gade li ankò nan setyèm jou a. Si enfeksyon an ap disparèt, e bouton an pa gaye sou po a, alò prèt la va pwoklame li pwòp. Se sèlman yon gal. Li va lave rad li; li va pwòp.
Then the priest must examine him again. If the sore has faded and has not spread, the priest will allow him to be with other people again; it is only a rash. After the person washes his clothes, he will be allowed to be with other people again.
7 Men si gal la vin gaye plis sou po a apre li te fin vizite prèt la pou pirifikasyon li, li va parèt ankò devan prèt la.
But if the sore spreads after the priest has examined him, he must go to the priest again.
8 Prèt la va gade, e si gal la vin gaye sou po a, alò prèt la va pwoklame li pa pwòp. Li se lalèp.
The priest will examine him; and if the sore has spread to more of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people.
9 “Lè enfeksyon lalèp la sou yon moun, alò, li va vin mennen bay prèt la.
When anyone has a contagious skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
10 Prèt la va gade l. Si gen yon enflamasyon blan sou po a, li fè plim li vin blan, e gen maleng nan enflamasyon an,
The priest must examine him. And if there is a white swelling in the skin that has caused the hair in that swelling to become white, and if the flesh in that area is painful/sensitive,
11 sa se yon lalèp kwonik sou po kò li. Prèt la va pwoklame li pa pwòp. Li p ap izole li ankò, paske li deja pa pwòp.
it is a permanent skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people. The priest does not need to tell that person that he must avoid other people, because other people already are wanting to stay away from him.
12 Si lalèp la vin gaye plis sou po a, e lalèp la kouvri tout po de sila ki gen enfeksyon an soti nan tèt li, jis rive nan pye li, toupatou kote prèt la kab wè,
‘If the disease spreads all over someone’s body, and the priest examines that person and sees that it is covering his skin from his head to his feet,
13 alò, prèt la va gade, e veye byen, si lalèp la vin kouvri tout kò li, li va pwoklame li pwòp. Li te vin blanch nèt, e koulye a, li vin pwòp.
and it has caused all his skin to become white [which will indicate that the disease has ended], the priest will declare that the person does not have to stay away from other people.
14 Men nenpòt maleng ki vin parèt sou li, li va vin pa pwòp.
But if the person has open sores and they are very painful/sensitive, he has a contagious skin disease,
15 Prèt la va gade maleng lan, e li va pwoklame li pa pwòp. Maleng lan pa pwòp, se lalèp li ye.
and when the priest sees that, he will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
16 Oswa, si maleng lan chanje ankò vin tou blanch, alò, li va vini kote prèt la.
But if the person’s flesh changes and becomes white, he must go to the priest again.
17 Konsa, prèt la va gade li, e veye byen, si enfeksyon an te vin tou blanch, alò prèt la va pwoklame li pwòp de enfeksyon an. Li pwòp.
The priest must examine him again; and if the sores have become white, the priest will declare that the person who had been infected is now permitted to be with other people again.
18 “Si kò a gen yon abse sou po a, e li vin geri,
‘Then someone has a boil on his skin and it has healed,
19 epi nan plas abse a, li vin gen yon enflamasyon tou blanch oswa yon tach blanch e wouj fonse, byen vif, li va montre l a prèt la.
but in the place where the boil was a white swelling or a bright/shiny spot appears, he must go to the priest.
20 Prèt la va gade li, e veye byen, si li vin parèt pi fonse ke po a, e plim sou li a vin tou blanch, alò prèt la va pwoklame li pa pwòp. Sa se enfeksyon lalèp, li vin parèt nan abse a.
The priest must examine it. And if it seems to be deeper than just on the skin, and if the hair in that spot has become white, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the boil had been. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
21 Men si prèt la gade li, e veye byen, li pa gen plim blanch ladann, li pa pi fon ke po a, e l ap vin disparèt, alò, prèt la va izole li pandan sèt jou.
But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin and has become less bright/shiny, then the priest will order him to stay away from other people for seven days.
22 Si li gaye plis sou po a, alò, prèt la va pwoklame li pa pwòp. Se yon enfeksyon li ye.
But if it is spreading, it is contagious and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
23 Men si tach vif la rete nan plas li, e li pa gaye, se sèlman sikatris abse a. Konsa, prèt la va pwoklame li pwòp.
But if that spot is unchanged and has not spread, it is only a scar from the boil, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
24 “Oubyen, si kò a vin brile nan dife, e maleng brile a vin yon mak vif, blan wouj fonse, oswa blan,
‘Then someone has a burn on his skin and a bright/shiny or white spot appears, and the flesh in that area is sensitive/painful,
25 alò, prèt la va gade li. Epi si plim nan mak vif la vin tou blanch e parèt pi fonse ke chè a, sa se lalèp. Li vin parèt nan kote ki brile a. Konsa, prèt la va pwoklame li pa pwòp. Sa se yon enfeksyon lalèp.
the priest must examine the spot. If the hair in that spot has turned white and it seems to be deeper than just on the surface of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the burn was, and that person must stay away from other people.
26 Men si prèt la gade li, e vrèman, pa gen plim blan nan mak vif la e li pa pi fon ke po a, men li vin pal; alò, prèt la va izole li pandan sèt jou.
But when the priest examines it and sees that there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin, and has faded, the priest will declare that the person must stay away from people for seven days.
27 Epi prèt la va gade li nan setyèm jou a. Si li gaye plis sou po a, alò, prèt la va pwoklame li pa pwòp. Sa se yon enfeksyon lalèp.
On the seventh day, the priest will examine him again. If the sore is spreading, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
28 Men si mak vif la toujou rete nan plas li, e li pa gaye nan po a, men li vin pal, sa se sèlman enflamasyon ki soti nan brile a, epi prèt la va pwoklame li pwòp, paske se sèlman sikatris brile a.
However, if the spot is not changed and has not spread but has faded, it is only a scar from the burn, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
29 “Alò, si yon nonm oswa yon fanm gen yon enfeksyon nan tèt oswa nan bab,
‘If a man or a woman has a sore on his head or on his chin,
30 alò, prèt la va gade enfeksyon an. Si li parèt pi fonse pase po a e li vin gen yon ti plim avèk yon koulè jon, alò prèt la va pwoklame li pa pwòp. Li se yon kal. Sa se lalèp nan tèt oubyen nan bab.
the priest must examine it. If it appears to be deeper than [just on the surface of] the skin, and the hair in that spot has thinned out and has become yellowish, it is a contagious skin disease that causes itching. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
31 Men si prèt la gade enfeksyon kal la, e vrèman, li parèt pi fonse ke po a, e nanpwen plim nwa ladann, alò, prèt la va izole moun avèk enfeksyon kal la pandan sèt jou.
But when the priest examines that kind of sore, if it seems to be only on the surface of the skin and there is no healthy hair in it, the priest will tell the person to stay away from other people for seven days.
32 Nan setyèm jou a, prèt la va gade enfeksyon an; epi si kal la pa gaye pi lwen, li pa gen ti plim jon ki grandi ladann, e li pa sanble ke kal la pi fonse ke po a,
On the seventh day, the priest will examine the sore again. If it has not spread and if there is no yellow hair in that spot and if it appears to be only on the surface of the skin,
33 answit, li va pase razwa sou li, men pa sou kal la; epi prèt la va izole moun avèk kal la pandan sèt jou anplis.
the person must shave the hair near the sore but not the hair on the sore. And the priest will tell him to stay away from other people for seven more days.
34 Answit, nan setyèm jou a, prèt la va gade kal la, si kal la pa gaye nan po a, e li pa parèt pi fonse ke po a, prèt la va pwoklame li pwòp. Li va lave rad li, e li va vin pwòp.
On the seventh day, the priest will examine that spot again. If it has not spread and it appears to be only on the surface of the skin, the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with people again. The person must wash his clothes, and then he can be with other people.
35 Men si kal la vin gaye plis sou po a apre pirifikasyon li,
But if the sore later spreads,
36 alò, prèt la va gade li, e si kal la ap gaye nan po a, prèt la pa bezwen chèche plim jon nan. Li pa pwòp.
the priest must examine him again. If the itch/sore has spread, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair, because it is clear that the person has a contagious skin disease.
37 Si nan zye li, kal la rete, malgre sa, plim nwa yo vin grandi ladann, kal la vin geri, li pwòp. Konsa, prèt la va pwoklame li pwòp.
However, if the priest thinks that the spot has not changed, and healthy hair is growing in that area, it is clear that the itch has healed, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
38 “Lè yon nonm oswa yon fanm gen mak vif sou po kò a, menm mak tou blanch,
‘Then a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
39 alò prèt la va gade, e si mak vif sou po kò yo se blan pal, se sèlman ekzema ki parèt sou po a. Li pwòp.
the priest should examine them. But if the spots are dull white, it is only a rash, and [the priest will declare that] the person is permitted to be with other people.
40 “Alò, si yon nonm pèdi cheve nan tèt li, li vin chòv. Li pwòp.
‘If a man loses the hair on any part of his head, he does not need to stay away from other people.
41 Si tèt li vin kale pa devan e sou kote, li chòv pa devan. Li pwòp.
42 Men si nan tèt chòv la oswa nan fwontèn chòv la, vin rete yon enfeksyon koulè blan— wouj fonse, sa se lalèp k ap parèt sou tèt chòv li oswa fwontèn chòv li a.
But if he gets a bright/shiny sore on his bald head or on his forehead, he has a contagious skin disease.
43 Answit, prèt la va gade li. Konsa, si enflamasyon enfeksyon an blan-wouj fonse sou tèt chòv oswa sou fwontèn chòv li, tankou aparans lalèp sou po kò a,
The priest must examine him. If the swollen sore is a bright spot like [the spot on someone who has] a contagious skin disease,
44 li se yon moun lalèp. Li pa pwòp. Prèt la va vrèman pwoklame li pa pwòp. Enfeksyon li sou tèt li a.
the priest will declare that the man has a contagious skin disease and must not be with other people.
45 Pou moun lalèp ki gen enfeksyon an, fòk li mete rad chire, e lese cheve nan tèt li san penyen. Li va kouvri moustach li e kriye: ‘Pa pwòp, pa pwòp.’
‘Anyone who has a contagious skin disease must wear torn clothes and not comb his hair. [When he is near other people], he must cover the lower part to his face and call out, “Do not come near me! I have a contagious skin disease!”
46 Li va rete pa pwòp pandan tout jou ke enfeksyon an dire yo. Li pa pwòp. Li va abite izole pou kont li. Li gen pou rete deyò kan an.
He is not allowed to be with other people as long as he has the disease. He must live alone, outside the camp.’”
47 “Lè yon vètman vin gen lalèp kanni, kit se twal len nèt kit se twal len fen,
“Sometimes a person’s clothing gets mildew on it. It may be clothing that is woven from wool or made from linen or from leather.
48 kit li tise, kit li trikote avèk len nèt oswa avèk len fen, kit se an kwi oswa an okenn bagay ki fèt an kwi,
49 si mak la tou vèt oswa wouj nan vètman an, kit se an kwi, oswa an tise ou trikote, oswa an okenn bagay an kwi, li se yon mak lalèp kanni, e fòk li vin montre bay prèt la.
If the contaminated/mildewed part is greenish or reddish, it is a spreading mildew, and it must be shown to the priest.
50 Alò, prèt la va gade mak la e li va izole bagay avèk mak la pandan sèt jou.
The priest will examine it, and then put it in a separate place by itself for seven days.
51 Konsa, li va gade mak la nan setyèm jou a. Si mak la vin gaye sou rad la nan tise a, oswa trikote a, oswa an kwi oubyen nenpòt bagay ke kwi a sèvi, mak la se lalèp kanni, e li se yon maleng. Li pa pwòp.
On the seventh day he must examine it again. If the mildew has spread, it is clear that it is a type of mildew that destroys clothing, and that clothing must not be worn again.
52 Pou sa, li va brile rad la, kit an tise, oswa an trikote, oswa an len nèt, an len fen, oubyen nenpòt bagay an kwi kote mak la parèt, paske li se lalèp kanni maleng. Li va brile nan dife.
The owner must burn completely the item that has the mildew in it, whatever kind of item it is.
53 “Men si prèt la ta gade, e vrèman, mak la pa gaye nan vètman an, ni nan tise a, ni nan trikote a, ni nan bagay an kwi a,
But when the priest examines it, if the mildew has not spread,
54 alò, prèt la va pase lòd pou lave bagay ki te gen mak la e li va vin izole li pandan sèt jou anplis.
he will tell the person [who owns it] to wash it. Then he must put it in a separate place for another seven days.
55 Lè bagay la avèk mak la fin lave, prèt la va gade ankò, e si mak la pa chanje aparans li, malgre mak la pa gaye, li pa pwòp. Nou va brile li nan dife, menm si li epwize pa anwo oswa pa devan li.
Then the priest will examine it again. If the color of the mildew has not changed, even though it has not spread, that item must not be worn again. It does not matter if the mildew is on the inside of the clothing or on the outside; it must be burned.
56 Alò, si prèt la gade e mak la vin mwens, li va chire e retire li nan vètman an, oswa an kwi a, kit se nan tise, kit se nan trikote a;
But when the priest examines it [after it has been washed], if the mildew has faded, he must tear out that part that had the mildew in it.
57 epi si li parèt ankò nan vètman an, kit se nan tise a, oswa nan trikote a, oswa nan nenpòt bagay ki fèt an kwi, sa se yon epidemi lalèp kanni. Bagay la avèk mak la va brile nan dife.
But if the mildew reappears in that item, it is clear that it is spreading, and the whole item must be burned.
58 Vètman an, kit se nan tise, oswa nan trikote, oswa nan nenpòt bagay ki fèt an kwi kote mak la te sòti lè nou te lave li a, li va konsa lave yon dezyèm fwa e li va vin pwòp.”
But after the clothing is washed and the mildew disappears, it must be washed again, and then it can be worn again.
59 Sa se lalwa pou mak lalèp kanni nan yon vètman an len nèt, oswa len fen, oswa an tise, oswa an trikote, oswa an nenpòt bagay ki fèt an kwi, pou pwoklame li pwòp oswa pa pwòp.
Those are the regulations concerning mildew on things made of wool or linen or leather, for deciding whether those things can continue to be worn or not.”
