Levitikọs 14

1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis, sị,

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Ndị a bụ usoro iwu gbasara onye ọrịa ekpenta nʼoge a na-eme mmemme ịdị ọcha ya, mgbe e dutere ya bịakwute onye nchụaja.

“This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest,

3 Onye nchụaja ga-apụ gaa nʼazụ ebe obibi nọdụ nʼebe ahụ lee ya ahụ, ịchọpụta ma ọrịa ekpenta ya ọ laala nʼezie. Ọ bụrụ na ọrịa ya alaala,

and the priest shall go out of the camp. The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,

4 onye nchụaja ga-enye iwu ka e weta nnụnụ abụọ dị ndụ, na ụfọdụ osisi sida, na eriri ogho uhie, na hisọp, maka onye ahụ a ga-emere mmemme ịdị ọcha.

then the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.

5 Onye nchụaja ga-enye iwu ka e gbuo otu nʼime nnụnụ abụọ ahụ nʼelu mmiri e si nʼọdọ mmiri na-asọ asọ kute nke dị nʼime ite aja.

The priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

6 Ọ ga-ewere nnụnụ nke ọzọ dị ndụ, ya na osisi sida ahụ, na ogho uhie ahụ, na hisọp ahụ, denye ha nʼime ọbara nnụnụ ahụ e gburu nʼelu mmiri ahụ.

As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood, the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.

7 Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja ga-efe ọbara ahụ ugboro asaa nʼahụ onye ahụ a na-eme ka ọ dị ọcha site nʼọrịa ekpenta. Ọ ga-ekwupụtakwa na a gwọọla onye ahụ. Emesịa, ọ ga-ahapụ nnụnụ ahụ ka o felaa nʼọhịa.

He shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field.

8 “Onye ahụ e mere ka ọ dị ọcha ga-asacha uwe ya, kpụchaa ntutu isi ya, saakwa ahụ ya. Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-adị ọcha. Emesịa, ọ ga-esoro ndị mmadụ biri nʼobodo. Ma ọ gaghị abanye nʼụlọ nke aka ya tutu ụbọchị asaa agafee.

“He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days.

9 Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, ọ ga-akpụchapụ ntutu isi ya, na afụọnụ ya, na ikuanya ya, na ajị ndị ọzọ dị ya nʼahụ. Ọ ga-asa uwe ya na ahụ ya niile. Mgbe ahụ, a ga-agụ ya nʼonye dị ọcha.

It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows. He shall shave off all his hair. He shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his body in water. Then he shall be clean.

10 “Nʼụbọchị nke asatọ, ọ ga-ewere ebule abụọ na-enweghị ntụpọ, na otu nne atụrụ nke na-enweghị ntụpọ gbara otu afọ, ya na iri iko ọka a kwọrọ nke ọma a gwakọtara mmanụ oliv maka aja mkpụrụ ọka, na otu iko mmanụ.

“On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without defect, one ewe lamb a year old without defect, three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.

11 Onye nchụaja ahụ lere ya ahụ sị na ha dị ọcha, ga-ewere aja ndị a, ha na onye ahụ a na-aga ime ka ọ dị ọcha chee nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute.

The priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

12 “Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja ahụ ga-ewere otu nʼime ụmụ ebule ahụ, na otu iko mmanụ chụọ ya dịka onyinye aja ikpe ọmụma. Ọ ga-efufe ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka aja mfufe.

“The priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer him for a trespass offering, with the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.

13 Ọ ga-egbu nwa ebule ahụ nʼakụkụ ebe nsọ ahụ, nʼebe a na-anọ egbu anụ aja mmehie na aja nsure ọkụ. Ọ bụ onye nchụaja ga-ewere anụ aja ikpe ọmụma a, dịka o were nke aja mmehie. Ọ bụ ihe dịkarịsịrị nsọ.

He shall kill the male lamb in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary; for as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering. It is most holy.

14 Onye nchụaja ahụ ga-ewere ụfọdụ nʼime ọbara aja ikpe ọmụma ahụ, tee nʼọnụ ntị aka nri nke onye ahụ a na-eme ka ọ dị ọcha. Ọ ga-etekwa ya nʼisi mkpụrụ aka nke aka nri ya, na nʼelu isi mkpụrụ ụkwụ nke ụkwụ aka nri ya.

The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

15 Emesịa onye nchụaja ga-awụnyetụ mmanụ oliv ahụ nʼọbụaka nke aka ekpe ya,

The priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand.

16 ọ ga-arụnye otu mkpịsịaka nri ya nʼime mmanụ dị nʼọbụaka ya, ọ ga-ewere mkpịsịaka ya fesa ụfọdụ nʼime ya ugboro asaa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.

The priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before Yahweh.

17 Onye nchụaja ga-ewere mmanụ ahụ fọdụrụ nʼọbụaka ya tee ya onye ahụ nʼọnụ ntị aka nri nke onye ahụ a na-aga ime ka ọ dị ọcha, na nʼisi mkpụrụ aka nke aka nri ya, na nʼisi mkpụrụ ụkwụ nke aka nri ya, nʼelu ọbara aja ikpe ọmụma ahụ mee.

The priest shall put some of the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering.

18 Ọ ga-ete mmanụ ahụ fọdụrụ nʼaka ya, nʼisi onye ahụ a na-eme ka ọ dị ọcha. Onye nchụaja ga-ekpuchikwara ha mmehie ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.

The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before Yahweh.

19 “Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja ga-achụ aja mmehie, kpuchiere onye ahụ a ga-eme ka ọ dị ọcha site na-adịghị ọcha ha mmehie ya. Emesịa, onye nchụaja ga-egbu aja nsure ọkụ ahụ,

“The priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness. Afterward he shall kill the burnt offering;

20 were ya na onyinye mkpụrụ ọka chụọrọ onye ahụ aja, maka ikpuchiri ya mmehie ya. Mgbe ahụ, a ga-agụ onye ahụ nʼonye dị ọcha.

then the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering on the altar. The priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

21 “Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ ogbenye onye na-enweghị ike iweta ihe ndị a, ha aghaghị iwere otu nwa ebule dịka aja ikpe ọmụma nke a ga-efufe nʼihi aja ikpuchi mmehie ha, Ọ ga-ewetakwa iko ọka a kwọrọ nke ọma asaa maọbụ ihe ọtụtụ efaa a gwara mmanụ oliv dịka aja mkpụrụ ọka, ya na otu iko mmanụ.

“If he is poor, and can’t afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;

22 Ọ ga-ewetakwa nduru abụọ maọbụ kpalakwukwu abụọ, nke ọbụla o nwere ike iweta. Otu ga-abụ maka aja mmehie, nke ọzọ ga-abụ maka aja nsure ọkụ.

and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.

23 “Ọ ga-ewere ha nye onye nchụaja nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼụbọchị nke asatọ ya, maka ime ka ha dị ọcha.

“On the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before Yahweh.

24 Onye nchụaja ga-ewerekwa nwa atụrụ aja ikpe ọmụma ahụ, ya na otu iko mmanụ oliv ahụ, fufee ha nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị.

The priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.

25 Ọ ga-egbu nwa atụrụ aja ikpe ọmụma ahụ, were ụfọdụ ọbara ya tee nʼọnụ ntị aka nri onye ahụ a na-aga ime ka ọ dị ọcha, na nʼisi mkpụrụ aka nke aka nri ya, na nʼisi mkpụrụ ụkwụ nke aka nri ya.

He shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering. The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

26 Onye nchụaja ahụ ga-awụnye ụfọdụ mmanụ oliv ahụ nʼọbụaka nke aka ekpe ya,

The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand;

27 ọ ga-ewere mkpịsịaka nri ya fesa ụfọdụ mmanụ ahụ nke dị nʼọbụaka ya ugboro asaa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.

and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before Yahweh.

28 Ọ ga-etekwa ụfọdụ mmanụ ahụ dị nʼaka ya nʼebe ndị ahụ o tere ọbara ikpe ọmụma ahụ, nke bụ nʼọnụ ntị onye ahụ nke a na-eme ka ọ dị ọcha, na nʼisi mkpụrụ aka nke aka nri ya, na nʼisi mkpụrụ ụkwụ nke aka nri ya.

Then the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.

29 Mmanụ nke fọdụrụ nʼaka ya ka onye nchụaja ga-ete nʼisi onye ahụ a na-eme ka ọ dị ọcha, ikpuchi mmehie ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.

The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before Yahweh.

30 Emesịa, ọ ga-eji nduru abụọ ahụ maọbụ kpalakwukwu abụọ ahụ, nke ọbụla o nwere ike iweta, chụọ aja.

He shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, which ever he is able to afford,

31 Otu ga-abụ maka aja mmehie, nke ọzọ ga-abụ maka aja nsure ọkụ, ha na aja mkpụrụ ọka. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, onye nchụaja ga-ekpuchiri ya mmehie ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, bụ onye ahụ a na-eme ka ọ dị ọcha.”

of the kind he is able to afford, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering. The priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before Yahweh.”

32 Ndị a bụ usoro iwu dịrị onye ọbụla e sitere nʼọrịa ekpenta mee ka ọ dị ọcha, onye aka ya na-erughị iweta ihe o kwesiri iweta, bụ nke e ji eme ka ọ dị ọcha.

This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to afford the sacrifice for his cleansing.

33 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị,

Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

34 “Mgbe unu banyere ala Kenan, bụ ala ahụ m na-enye unu, ọ bụrụ na o nwee ụlọ ọbụla m webatara ọrịa na-efe efe,

“When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of your possession,

35 onyenwe ụlọ ahụ ga-ejekwuru onye nchụaja sị ya, ‘Ahụla m ihe yiri ọrịa na-efe efe nʼụlọ m.’

then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.’

36 Onye nchụaja ahụ ga-enye iwu ka a kwapụsịa ihe niile dị nʼụlọ ahụ tupu ọ gaa lezie ụlọ ahụ anya, ka ihe niile dị nʼụlọ ahụ ghara ịbụ ihe rụrụ arụ, ma ọ bụrụ na achọpụta ọrịa na-efe efe nʼụlọ ahụ. Mgbe a kwapụtasịrị ihe dị nʼụlọ ahụ, onye nchụaja ga-aga lee ụlọ ahụ.

The priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean. Afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house.

37 Ọ ga-ele ntụpọ dị nʼahụ ụlọ ahụ. Ọ bụrụ na ntụpọ ahụ na-acha ahịhịa ndụ ahịhịa ndụ, maọbụ ọbara ọbara, ọ bụrụkwa na ha miri emi karịa aja ụlọ ahụ nʼile anya,

He shall examine the plague; and behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall,

38 onye nchụaja ga-esi nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ahụ pụọ, kpọchie ụlọ ahụ ụbọchị asaa.

then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

39 Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, onye nchụaja ga-alọghachi bịa lee ụlọ ahụ ọzọ. Ọ bụrụ na ntụpọ ahụ agbasaala nʼaja ụlọ ahụ,

The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house,

40 onye nchụaja ga-enye iwu ka e tida akụkụ aja ụlọ ahụ bufuo ya nʼebe a na-ekpofu ihe rụrụ arụ nʼazụ obodo.

then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city.

41 Ọ ga-enyekwa iwu ka a kpụchaa aja ụlọ niile dị nʼime ụlọ ahụ, bufukwaa aja niile a kpụchapụtara nʼebe a na-ekpofu ihe rụrụ arụ nʼazụ obodo.

He shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over. They shall pour out the mortar that they scraped off outside of the city into an unclean place.

42 A ga-ebute nkume ọzọ jiri ha dochie ndị ahụ e bupụsịrị. A ga-ejikwa ụrọ ọhụrụ tee ụlọ ahụ ọzọ.

They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

43 “Ma ọ bụrụ na ntụpọ ahụ apụta ọzọ, mgbe e bupụsịrị nkume ndị ahụ, ma mgbe a kpuchasịrị aja ụlọ ma techikwaa ya,

“If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered,

44 onye nchụaja ga-abịa lee ya. Ọ bụrụ na ọ hụ na ntụpọ ahụ agbasaala ọzọ, ọ ga-agụ ụlọ ahụ dịka ihe rụrụ arụ, nʼihi na ntụpọ ahụ bụ ọrịa na-efe efe.

then the priest shall come in and look; and behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house. It is unclean.

45 Ọ ga-enye iwu ka a kwatuo ụlọ ahụ bufukwaa ihe niile e jiri rụọ ya, nkume niile, osisi niile na ụrọ niile, nʼebe a na-ekpofu ihe rụrụ arụ nʼazụ obodo.

He shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house’s mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.

46 “Onye ọbụla banyere nʼụlọ ahụ nʼoge e mechiri ya, ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ ruo nʼoge uhuruchi.

“Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.

47 Onye ọbụla dinara ala maọbụ rie nri nʼime ya, ga-asacha uwe ya.

He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

48 “Ma ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja abịa hụ na ntụpọ ahụ apụtaghị ọzọ, mgbe e techara ụlọ ahụ ụrọ nke ugboro abụọ, ọ ga-agụ ya nʼụlọ dị ọcha, nʼihi na ọrịa ahụ na-efe efe alaala.

“If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

49 Ọ ga-ejikwa nnụnụ abụọ, na osisi sida, na ogho uhie, na osisi hisọp mee mmemme ido ihe ọcha.

To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.

50 Ọ ga-egbu otu nʼime nnụnụ ndị ahụ nʼelu mmiri e si nʼiyi na-asọ asọ kute, nke dị nʼime ite aja.

He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

51 Ọ ga-edenye osisi sida ahụ, na ogho uhie ahụ, na osisi hisọp ahụ, nʼime ọbara nnụnụ ahụ na mmiri ahụ. Ọ ga-efesa ọbara ahụ nʼụlọ ahụ ugboro asaa.

He shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

52 Ọ bụ ọbara nnụnụ ahụ, na mmiri ahụ, na nnụnụ nke ọzọ ahụ dị ndụ, na osisi sida ahụ na hisọp ahụ, na ogho uhie ahụ ka ọ ga-eji mee ka ụlọ ahụ dị ọcha.

He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

53 Ọ ga-ahapụ nnụnụ ahụ dị ndụ ka o fepụ felaa nʼọhịa dị nʼazụ obodo. Nke a ga-abụ otu e si kpuchiere ụlọ ahụ mmehie ya. Ọ ga-adịkwa ọcha.”

but he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field. So shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.”

54 Ndị a bụ usoro iwu metụtara ọrịa ekpenta, na ọkọ,

This is the law for any plague of leprosy, and for an itch,

55 na ọrịa na-efe efe dị nʼuwe maọbụ nʼụlọ,

and for the destructive mildew of a garment, and for a house,

56 maọbụ etuto, maọbụ ntụpọ, maọbụ ọnya.

and for a swelling, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;

57 Iwu ndị a ga-enye aka ịmata ihe rụrụ arụ maọbụ ihe na-adịghị ọcha. Ndị a bụ usoro iwu metụtara ọrịa ekpenta na ọrịa na-efe efe.

to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean. This is the law of leprosy.
