Levitikọs 13
1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị ha,
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2 “Mgbe mmadụ hụrụ etuto, maọbụ ọnya, maọbụ ntụpọ na-eko eko nʼakpụkpọ anụ ahụ ya nke dị ka ihe ọrịa ekpenta na-eweta, a ga-eduru onye ahụ bịa nʼihu Erọn onye nchụaja maọbụ ụmụ ya ndị ikom, bụ ndị nchụaja.
“When someone has a swelling or rash or bright spot on his skin that could become an infectious skin disease, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest.
3 Onye nchụaja ga-eleru ọrịa ahụ dị ya nʼahụ anya. Ọ bụrụ na ajị dị gburugburu ebe ahụ ebidola ịcha ọcha, ọ bụrụkwa na ebe ahụ mibara ime, ọ bụ ọrịa ekpenta. Mgbe onye nchụaja leruchara ya anya, ọ ga-ekwupụta na onye ahụ bụ onye rụrụ arụ.
The priest is to examine the infection on his skin, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean.
4 Ọ bụrụkwanụ na ajị dị gburugburu ebe ahụ dị ọcha, ma na ebe ahụ emighị emi karịa akụkụ ahụ ya ndị ọzọ, onye nchụaja ga-edebe onye ahụ ebe ọ ga-anọ naanị ya abalị asaa.
If, however, the spot on his skin is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
5 Mgbe ụbọchị asaa gasịrị, onye nchụaja ga-ele ya ahụ ọzọ. Ọ bụrụ na ọnya ahụ alabeghị, na ọ nwekwaghị mgbanwe ọbụla, a ga-edebekwa ya abalị asaa ọzọ.
On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if he sees that the infection is unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must isolate him for another seven days.
6 Mgbe abalị asaa nke a gafekwara, onye nchụaja ga-elekwa ya ahụ ọzọ. Ọ bụrụ na ọ dịtụla ya mma, na ọnya ahụ agbasaghị nʼanụ ahụ ya, onye nchụaja ga-asị na ọ dị ọcha, nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị ọnya efu. Onye ahụ ga-asakwa uwe ya mmiri, mgbe ahụ dị ọcha.
The priest will examine him again on the seventh day, and if the sore has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a rash. The person must wash his clothes and be clean.
7 Ma ọ bụrụ na ọnya ahụ agbasaa nʼahụ ya mgbe o gosicharala onye nchụaja onwe ya maka nsacha ịdị ọcha, ọ ga-alaghachikwa azụ ga hụ onye nchụaja ahụ ọzọ.
But if the rash spreads further on his skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must present himself again to the priest.
8 Onye nchụaja ga-eleru ya anya, ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja achọpụta na ọnya ahụ na-agbasa, ọ ga-agụ onye ahụ dịka onye rụrụ arụ, ọ bụ ọrịa na-efe efe.
The priest will reexamine him, and if the rash has spread on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; he has a skin disease.
9 “Mgbe ọbụla mmadụ nwere ihe dị ka ọrịa na-efe efe nʼahụ ya, a ghaghị ịkpọtara ya onye nchụaja.
When anyone develops a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
10 Onye nchụaja ga-ele anya nʼakụkụ anụ ahụ ya zara aza ịchọpụta ma ọ dị ọcha, ma ajị dị gburugburu ebe ahụ ọ na-acha ọcha, na ịhụkwa ma ọ nwere ọnya dị gburugburu ebe ahụ.
The priest will examine him, and if there is a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
11 Ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja ahụ ihe ndị a, ọ bụ ọrịa ekpenta nʼezie. Ọ ga-agụkwa onye ahụ dịka onye rụrụ arụ. A gaghị edebekwa ya ile ya ahụ, nʼihi na ọ bụrụlarị onye rụrụ arụ.
it is a chronic skin disease and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not isolate him, for he is unclean.
12 “Ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja elee onye ahụ anya hụ na ọrịa ọcha ahụ enupụtala nʼakụkụ ahụ ya niile, site nʼụkwụ ya ruo nʼisi ya,
But if the skin disease breaks out all over his skin so that it covers all the skin of the infected person from head to foot, as far as the priest can see,
13 onye nchụaja a ga-eleru ya anya, ọ bụrụ na ọrịa ahụ enupụtala nʼahụ ya niile, ọ ga-ekwupụta na onye ahụ dị ọcha, ebe ọ bụ na ọrịa ahụ enupụtala mee ka anụ ahụ ya chawa ọcha.
the priest shall examine him, and if the disease has covered his entire body, he is to pronounce the infected person clean. Since it has all turned white, he is clean.
14 Ma ọ bụrụ na e nwere akụkụ ahụ ya ọnya ọ hụrụ pụtara, ọ ga-agụ ya dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha.
But whenever raw flesh appears on someone, he will be unclean.
15 Onye nchụaja ga-enyocha ọnya ahụ. Kwupụta na onye ahụ rụrụ arụ. Ọnya ahụ rụrụ arụ nʼihi na ọrịa ekpenta ka ọ bụ.
When the priest sees the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease.
16 Ọ bụrụ nʼọnya ahụ agbanwe na-acha ọcha, ha ga-agakwuru onye nchụaja.
But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest.
17 Onye nchụaja ga-ele ya ahụ. Ọ bụrụ na ọnya niile ahụ na-acha ezi ọcha, onye nchụaja ga-agụ ya dịka onye na-enweghị ntụpọ. Ndị dị ọcha ka ha ga-abụ.
The priest will reexamine him, and if the infection has turned white, the priest is to pronounce the infected person clean; then he is clean.
18 “Ọ bụrụ na etuto toro mmadụ nʼahụ alaa,
When a boil appears on someone’s skin and it heals,
19 ma akpụkpọ anụ ahụ ya anọgide na-acha ọcha, maọbụ na-acha ọbara ọbara, a ga-ejekwuru onye nchụaja ka o lee ya anya nʼahụ.
and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, he must present himself to the priest.
20 Ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja achọpụta na e nwere ọrịa dị nʼokpuru akpụkpọ ahụ ya, chọpụtakwa na ajị ya na-acha ọcha, onye nchụaja ga-agụ mmadụ ahụ dịka onye rụrụ arụ, nʼihi na ekpenta esitela nʼetuto ahụ pụta.
The priest shall examine it, and if it appears to be beneath the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection that has broken out in the boil.
21 Ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja achọpụta na ajị ọcha adịghị nʼakpụkpọ ahụ ya, chọpụtakwa na ọnya ahụ abanyeghị nʼime, onye nchụaja ga-edebe onye ahụ ụbọchị asaa.
But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in it, and it is not beneath the skin and has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.
22 Nʼime ụbọchị asaa ahụ, ọ bụrụ na ọnya ahụ abaa ụba karịa ka ọ dị na mbụ, onye nchụaja ga-agụ mmadụ ahụ dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha. Ọ bụ ọrịa na-emerụ emerụ ka ọ bụ.
If it spreads any further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.
23 Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ baghị ụba karịa, onye nchụaja ga-agụ mmadụ ahụ dịka onye dị ọcha, nʼihi na ihe a bụ etuto lara ala.
But if the spot remains unchanged and does not spread, it is only the scar from the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24 “Ọ bụrụ na ọkụ agbaa mmadụ, mee ka ọnya pụta ya nʼahụ: ọ bụrụ na ọnya ahụ ebido na-acha ọbara ọbara, maọbụ na-acha ezigbo ọcha,
When there is a burn on someone’s skin and the raw area of the burn becomes reddish-white or white,
25 onye nchụaja ga-elezi onye dị otu a anya. Ọ bụrụ na ajị dị gburugburu ebe ọnya ahụ dị na-acha ọcha, maọbụ na ọnya ahụ mibara ime karịa, ọ ghọọla ekpenta nke si nʼọnya ahụ nupụta. Onye nchụaja ga-agụ mmadụ ahụ dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha. Ọ bụ ọrịa ekpenta.
the priest must examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.
26 Ma ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja elee ya hụ na ajị dị gburugburu ebe ahụ adịghị ọcha, ọ bụrụkwa na ọ dịghị ala karịa akpụkpọ ahụ, na ọ na-aṅacha, mgbe ahụ onye nchụaja ga-edebe onye ahụ iche ụbọchị asaa.
But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the spot, and it is not beneath the skin but has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.
27 Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, onye nchụaja ga-elezi onye ahụ anya nke ọma. Ọ bụrụ na ọ chọpụtara na ọnya ahụ na-abasaa nʼakpụkpọ ahụ ya, onye nchụaja ga-agụ onye ahụ dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha. Ọrịa na-emerụ emerụ ka ọ bụ.
On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if it has spread further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.
28 Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ gbanweghị, bụrụkwa na ọ basaghị nʼakpụkpọ ahụ ma ọ na-aṅacha, ọ bụ ihe ọzịza sitere nʼọkụ rere onye ahụ, onye nchụaja ga-agụ ya dịka onye dị ọcha, nʼihi na ọ bụ apa ọnya lara ala.
But if the spot is unchanged and has not spread on the skin but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest is to pronounce him clean; for it is only the scar from the burn.
29 “Ọ bụrụ na nwoke maọbụ nwanyị ọbụla enwee ọnya nʼisi, maọbụ na nti ya,
If a man or woman has an infection on the head or chin,
30 onye nchụaja ga-elezi ọnya ahụ anya. Ọ bụrụ na ọ dị ala karịa akpụkpọ ahụ ya, ọ bụrụkwa na ajị dị na ya na-acha odo odo dị irighiri, onye nchụaja ga-agụ ha dịka ndị na-adịghị ọcha. Ọ bụ ọrịa na-emerụ emerụ nke dị nʼisi maọbụ nʼagba.
the priest shall examine the infection, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin and the hair in it is yellow and thin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a scaly outbreak, an infectious disease of the head or chin.
31 Ma ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja achọpụta na ọnya ahụ adịghị abasa abasa, maọbụ na ajị dị nʼebe ahụ adịghị eji ojii, onye nchụaja ga-edebe onye ahụ ụbọchị asaa.
But if the priest examines the scaly infection and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
32 Nʼụbọchị nke asaa onye nchụaja ga-elezi ọnya ahụ anya. Ọ bụrụ na ọnya ahụ abasaghị karịa, ọ bụrụ na o nweghị ajị na-acha edo edo, ọ bụrụkwa na o mibaghị emiba,
On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine the infection, and if the scaly outbreak has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin,
33 ọ ga-akpụchapụ ajị niile dị nʼakụkụ ebe ahụ ọnya mere ya, ma ọ gaghị akpụchapụ ajị dị nʼọnya ahụ nʼonwe ya. Onye nchụaja ga-edebe onye ahụ ụbọchị asaa.
then the person must shave himself except for the scaly area. Then the priest shall isolate him for another seven days.
34 Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, onye nchụaja ga-elezi ọnya ahụ anya. Ọ bụrụ na ọ basaghị karịa, maọbụ mibanye nʼime karịa anụ ahụ, a ga-agụ mmadụ ahụ dịka onye dị ọcha. Ọ ga-apụ sachaa uwe ya, bụrụ onye dị ọcha.
On the seventh day the priest shall examine the scaly outbreak, and if it has not spread on the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest is to pronounce him clean. He must wash his clothes, and he will be clean.
35 Ma ọ bụrụ na mgbe a gụchara ya nʼonye dị ọcha ọnya ahụ emesịa basaa nʼahụ ya.
If, however, the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing,
36 Onye nchụaja ga-ele ya anya. Ọ bụrụ na ọnya ahụ agbasaala nʼakpụkpọ ahụ ya, onye nchụaja a gaghị achọwa ajị na-acha edo edo. Onye ahụ rụrụ arụ.
the priest is to examine him, and if the scaly outbreak has spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellow hair; the person is unclean.
37 Ma ọ bụrụ nʼuche onye nchụaja na ọnya ahụ adịghị abasa abasa, ọ bụrụkwa na ajị ojii epupụtala nʼebe ahụ, ọnya ahụ alaala. Onye dị ọcha ka mmadụ ahụ bụ. Onye nchụaja ga-ekwupụta na ọ dị ọcha.
If, however, in his sight the scaly outbreak is unchanged and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. He is clean, and the priest is to pronounce him clean.
38 “Mgbe nwoke maọbụ nwanyị ọbụla nwere ntụpọ ọcha nʼanụ ahụ ya,
When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
39 onye nchụaja ga-ele ya ahụ. Ọ bụrụ na ntụpọ ahụ adịghị achazi ezi ọcha, ọ bụ ọkọ nupụtara onye ahụ nʼahụ. Onye ahụ dị ọcha.
the priest shall examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.
40 “Mgbe ajị na-adịghịkwa nwoke nʼisi, ọ bụ isi nkwọcha, onye ahụ dị ọcha.
Now if a man loses his hair and is bald, he is still clean.
41 Otu aka ahụ, ọ bụrụ na isi ya esite nʼegedege ihu ya kwọchasịa, ọ bụghị ekpenta, onye dị ọcha ka ọ bụ.
Or if his hairline recedes and he is bald on his forehead, he is still clean.
42 Kama ọ bụrụ na onye ahụ enwee etuto nʼisi ya maọbụ nʼegedege ihu ya nke na-acha ọbara ọbara, na ọcha ọcha, o nwere ike bụrụ ọrịa ekpenta na-enupụta ya nʼisi maọbụ nʼegedege ihu.
But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on it.
43 Nʼihi ya, onye nchụaja ga-elezi ya anya. Ọ bụrụ na etuto ahụ toro ya nʼisi maọbụ nʼegedege ihu na-acha ọbara ọbara, na ọcha ọcha, ọ ga-abụ na ọ ghọọla ọrịa ekpenta.
The priest is to examine him, and if the swelling of the infection on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white like a skin disease,
44 Onye nchụaja ga-agụ ya dịka onye ekpenta. Ọ bụkwa onye rụrụ arụ, nʼihi ọnya ahụ dị ya nʼisi.
the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head.
45 “Onye ọbụla a chọpụtara na ọ bụ onye ekpenta ga-eyi uwe dọkara adọka, hapụ agịrị isi ya ka ọ dịka nke onye ara. Ọ ga-ekpuchi elu egbugbere ọnụ ya, na-eti mkpu na-asị, ‘Onye rụrụ arụ ka m bụ. Onye rụrụ arụ ka m bụ!’
A diseased person must wear torn clothes and let his hair hang loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’
46 Ụbọchị niile nke ọ nọ nʼọrịa ahụ, ọ gaghị ebi nʼime obodo nʼetiti ụmụ mmadụ nʼihi na onye rụrụ arụ ka ọ bụ.
As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.
47 “Ọ bụrụ na a hụrụ ntụpọ yiri ntụpọ ọrịa na-efe efe nʼuwe ajị anụ maọbụ nʼuwe ogho ọcha,
If any fabric is contaminated with mildew —any wool or linen garment,

49 Ọ bụrụkwa na ntụpọ dị nʼuwe ahụ, maọbụ nʼakpụkpọ anụ ahụ, maọbụ nke a kpara akpa, maọbụ nke atụrụ atụ, maọbụ nʼihe akpụkpọ anụ ọbụla na-acha ahịhịa ndụ maọbụ uhie uhie, o nwere ike ịbụ ọrịa na-efe efe. A ga-ewegara onye nchụaja uwe ahụ ka o lezie ya anya.
and if the mark in the fabric, leather, weave, knit, or leather article is green or red, then it is contaminated with mildew and must be shown to the priest.
50 Onye nchụaja ga-ele ya anya, were ya debe ya iche ụbọchị asaa.
And the priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the contaminated fabric for seven days.
51 Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, onye nchụaja ga-ele ya anya ọzọ. Ọ bụrụ na ntụpọ ahụ agbasaa nʼuwe ahụ maọbụ nʼihe ahụ a kpara akpa, maọbụ nʼihe ahụ a tụrụ atụ, maọbụ nʼihe akpụkpọ anụ ahụ, nʼime ụbọchị asaa ndị a, nʼagbanyeghị ihe e ji ha eme, ọ bụ ọrịa ọjọọ na-efe efe. Ihe ahụ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ.
On the seventh day the priest shall reexamine it, and if the mildew has spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather, then regardless of how it is used, it is a harmful mildew; the article is unclean.
52 A ga-akpọ uwe ahụ, maọbụ akwa ajị anụ ahụ, maọbụ akwa ajị anụ a kpara akpa, maọbụ akwa ogho ọcha ahụ, maọbụ ihe akpụkpọ anụ ọbụla ọkụ, nʼihi na ọrịa na-efe efe dị nʼime ya, nʼihi na ọrịa na-eweta mbibi ka ọ bụ. A ghakwaghị iji ọkụ rechapụ ya.
He is to burn the fabric, weave, or knit, whether the contaminated item is wool or linen or leather. Since the mildew is harmful, the article must be burned up.
53 “Ma ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja ahụ ele hụ na ntụpọ ahụ agbasaghị nʼuwe ahụ, maọbụ nʼakwa ahụ a kpara akpa, maọbụ akwa a tụrụ atụ, maọbụ nʼihe akpụkpọ anụ ahụ ọbụla.
But when the priest reexamines it, if the mildew has not spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather article,
54 Ọ ga-enye iwu ka a saa ihe ndị ahụ niile mmiri, wezugakwa ya iche ruo ụbọchị asaa ọzọ.
the priest is to order the contaminated article to be washed and isolated for another seven days.
55 Mgbe a sachara ihe ahụ mmiri, onye nchụaja ga-ele ya anya ọzọ. Ọ bụrụ na ntụpọ ahụ agbanwebeghị, ọ bụrụ na ọ na-achakwa dịka o si acha na mbụ, mgbe ụbọchị ndị a gasịrị, ọ bụ ezie na ọ gbasaghị, ọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ. A ga-akpọ ya ọkụ, ma ntụpọ ahụ ọ dị nʼihu uwe ahụ maọbụ nʼazụ ya.
After it has been washed, the priest is to reexamine it, and if the mildewed article has not changed in appearance, it is unclean. Even though the mildew has not spread, you must burn it, whether the rot is on the front or back.
56 Ma ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja elee ya anya hụ na ụcha ntụpọ dị nʼihe ahụ adịghị ukwuu nʼihi nsacha a sachara ya na mmiri, ọ ga-achakapụ akụkụ uwe ahụ, maọbụ akwa ahụ a kpara akpa maọbụ nke a tụrụ atụ.
If the priest examines it and the mildew has faded after it has been washed, he must cut the contaminated section out of the fabric, leather, weave, or knit.
57 Ọ bụrụ na ntụpọ ahụ emesịa pụta ọzọ nʼuwe ahụ, maọbụ nʼakwa ahụ a kpara akpa, maọbụ nke a tụrụ atụ, maọbụ nʼakpụkpọ anụ ahụ, o gosiri na ọ na-agbasa agbasa. Ihe ọbụla nwere ntụpọ ahụ ka a ga-akpọ ọkụ.
But if it reappears in the fabric, weave, or knit, or on any leather article, it is spreading. You must burn the contaminated article.
58 Uwe maọbụ ihe a kpara akpa, maọbụ ihe a tụrụ atụ, maọbụ ihe akpụkpọ anụ ọbụla a sara mmiri nke ntụpọ dị na ya pụrụ, a ga-asa ya mmiri ọzọ. Ọ ga-abụkwa ihe dị ọcha.”
If the mildew disappears from the fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article after washing, then it is to be washed again, and it will be clean.
59 Ndị a bụ usoro iwu metụtara ntụpọ dịka ntụpọ ọrịa na-efe efe nke dị nʼuwe ajị anụ maọbụ uwe ogho ọcha, maọbụ nʼihe a kpara akpa maọbụ nʼihe a tụrụ atụ, maọbụ nʼihe akpụkpọ anụ. Iwu ndị a ga-enye aka ịchọpụta ma ha rụrụ arụ, maọbụ na ha dị ọcha.
This is the law concerning a mildew contamination in wool or linen fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article, for pronouncing it clean or unclean.”
