レビ記 14
1 主はまたモーセに言われた、
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 「らい病人が清い者とされる時のおきては次のとおりである。すなわち、その人を祭司のもとに連れて行き、
“These are the regulations for anyone who has been healed of a contagious skin disease.
3 祭司は宿営の外に出て行って、その人を見、もしらい病の患部がいえているならば、
The person must be brought to a priest. The priest will take him outside the camp [to where that person has been staying], and examine him. If the skin disease has been healed,
4 祭司は命じてその清められる者のために、生きている清い小鳥二羽と、香柏の木と、緋の糸と、ヒソプとを取ってこさせ、
the priest will say that someone must bring two living birds that are acceptable to Yahweh, along with some cedar wood, some scarlet/red yarn, and some sprigs of (hyssop/a very leafy plant).
5 祭司はまた命じて、その小鳥の一羽を、流れ水を盛った土の器の上で殺させ、
Then the priest will command that one of the birds be killed while [it is being held] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.
6 そして生きている小鳥を、香柏の木と、緋の糸と、ヒソプと共に取って、これをかの流れ水を盛った土の器の上で殺した小鳥の血に、その生きている小鳥と共に浸し、
Then the priest will dip the other bird, along with the cedar wood, the scarlet/red yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed.
7 これをらい病から清められる者に七たび注いで、その人を清い者とし、その生きている小鳥は野に放たなければならない。
Then he must sprinkle some of the blood on the person who was healed; he must sprinkle it on him seven times. Then he will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again. And the priest will release the other bird and allow it to fly away.
8 清められる者はその衣服を洗い、毛をことごとくそり落し、水に身をすすいで清くなり、その後、宿営にはいることができる。ただし七日の間はその天幕の外にいなければならない。
“Then the person who was healed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe. Then he is allowed to return to the camp, but he must stay outside his tent for seven days.
9 そして七日目に毛をことごとくそらなければならい。頭の毛も、ひげも、まゆも、ことごとくそらなければならない。彼はその衣服を洗い、水に身をすすいで清くなるであろう。
On the seventh day, he must again shave off all his hair, including his beard and his eyebrows. Then he must again wash his clothes and bathe, and then he will be allowed to be with other people again.
10 八日目にその人は雄の小羊の全きもの二頭と、一歳の雌の小羊の全きもの一頭とを取り、また麦粉十分の三エパに油を混ぜた素祭と、油一ログとを取らなければならない。
“The next day that person must bring two male lambs and one female lamb that is one year old, all of them with no defects. He must also bring six quarts/liters of fine flour, mixed with olive oil, to be an offering, and (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) of olive oil.
11 清めをなす祭司は、清められる人とこれらの物とを、会見の幕屋の入口で主の前に置き、
The priest who declares that the person’s skin disease is ended must bring that person, and his offerings, to me, Yahweh, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
12 祭司は、かの雄の小羊一頭を取って、これを一ログの油と共に愆祭としてささげ、またこれを主の前に揺り動かして揺祭としなければならない。
“Then the priest must take one of the male lambs and lift it up, along with the olive oil, in front of me, to be a guilt offering—[an offering for his being guilty for not giving to me the things that he was required to give me].
13 この雄の小羊は罪祭および燔祭をほふる場所、すなわち聖なる所で、これをほふらなければならない。愆祭は罪祭と同じく、祭司に帰するものであって、いと聖なる物である。
Then the priest must slaughter the lamb in the sacred place where the other sacrifices are offered. Like the offering to enable people to be forgiven, this guilt offering is holy, and belongs to the priest.
14 そして祭司はその愆祭の血を取り、これを清められる者の右の耳たぶと、右の手の親指と、右の足の親指とにつけなければならない。
The priest must take some of the blood of that animal and pour it on the lobe/tip of the right ear and on the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the one who has been healed of the skin disease.
15 祭司はまた一ログの油を取って、これを自分の左の手のひらに注ぎ、
Then the priest must take some of the olive oil and pour it in the palm of his own left hand.
16 そして祭司は右の指を左の手のひらにある油に浸し、その指をもって、その油を七たび主の前に注がなければならない。
Then he must dip the forefinger of his right hand into the oil in his palm, and sprinkle it in front of me seven times.
17 祭司は手のひらにある油の残りを、清められる者の右の耳たぶと、右の手の親指と、右の足の親指とに、さきにつけた愆祭の血の上につけなければならない。
Then he must put some of the oil that is still in the palm of his hand on the lobe/tip of the right ear and the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the person who has been healed of the skin disease. He must put it on top of the blood that he has already put on those places.
18 そして祭司は手のひらになお残っている油を、清められる者の頭につけ、主の前で、その人のためにあがないをしなければならない。
The remaining oil in his palm must be put on the person’s head, [to indicate that I declare that] the person has been forgiven for having sinned.
19 また祭司は罪祭をささげて、汚れのゆえに、清められねばならぬ者のためにあがないをし、その後、燔祭のものをほふらなければならない。
“Then the priest must slaughter one of the other two animals, to show that the one who has been healed of the skin disease has been forgiven for having sinned, and that he has become acceptable to Yahweh. Then the priest will slaughter the animal that will be completely burned [on the altar].
20 そして祭司は燔祭と素祭とを祭壇の上にささげ、その人のために、あがないをしなければならない。こうしてその人は清くなるであろう。
He will also put on the altar the offering of grain, to indicate that the person has been forgiven for having sinned. Then that person will be allowed to be with other people again.
21 その人がもし貧しくて、それに手の届かない時は、自分のあがないのために揺り動かす愆祭として、雄の小羊一頭を取り、また素祭として油を混ぜた麦粉十分の一エパと、油一ログとを取り、
“But if the person who has been healed of a skin disease is poor and cannot afford to bring all those animals, he must take to the priest one male lamb to be lifted up to be an offering for his not giving to me the things that he was required to give me. He must also take two quarts/liters of fine flour mixed with olive oil to be an offering made from grain, (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) of olive oil,
22 さらにその手の届く山ばと二羽、または家ばとのひな二羽を取らなければならない。その一つは罪祭のため、他の一つは燔祭のためである。
and two doves or two young pigeons, one for him to be forgiven for the sins he has committed, and one to be completely burned [on the altar].
23 そして八日目に、その清めのために会見の幕屋の入口におる祭司のもと、主の前にこれを携えて行かなければならない。
“On that same day, that person must take those things to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, to offer them to Yahweh.
24 祭司はその愆祭の雄の小羊と、一ログの油とを取り、これを主の前に揺り動かして揺祭としなければならない。
The priest will take the lamb for the offering for that person not giving to me the things that he was required to give me, along with the olive oil, and lift them up in front of me.
25 そして祭司は愆祭の雄の小羊をほふり、その愆祭の血を取って、これを清められる者の右の耳たぶと、右の手の親指と、右の足の親指とにつけなければならない。
Then the priest will slaughter that lamb [and drain some of the blood in a bowl], and take some of that blood and put it on the lobe/tip of the person’s right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.
26 また祭司はその油を自分の左の手のひらに注ぎ、
Then the priest will pour some of the oil into the palm of his left hand,
27 祭司はその右の指をもって、左の手のひらにある油を、七たび主の前に注がなければならない。
and with his right forefinger he must sprinkle some of the oil from his palm there in my presence.
28 また祭司はその手のひらにある油を、清められる者の右の耳たぶと、右の手の親指と、右の足の親指とに、すなわち、愆祭の血をつけたところにつけなければならない。
He must put some of the oil in his palm on the same places where he put the blood.
29 また祭司は手のひらに残っている油を、清められる者の頭につけ、主の前で、その人のために、あがないをしなければならない。
He must put the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the head of the person who has been healed of a skin disease, to indicate that I have forgiven him for having sinned.
30 その人はその手の届く山ばと一羽、または家ばとのひな一羽をささげなければならない。
Then the priest must sacrifice the doves or the pigeons, whichever that person has brought.
31 すなわち、その手の届くものの一つを罪祭とし、他の一つを燔祭として素祭と共にささげなければならない。こうして祭司は清められる者のために、主の前にあがないをするであろう。
One will be an offering for sin and the other will be completely burned on the altar, along with the offering of grain. By doing that, the priest will declare that the person is no longer guilty for having sinned.
32 これはらい病の患者で、その清めに必要なものに、手の届かない者のためのおきてである」。
“Those are the regulations for anyone who has a contagious skin disease and who is poor and cannot afford the usual offerings, in order that he can be with people again.”
33 主はまたモーセとアロンに言われた、
Yahweh also said to Aaron and Moses/me,
34 「あなたがたに所有として与えるカナンの地に、あなたがたがはいる時、その所有の地において、家にわたしがらい病の患部を生じさせることがあれば、
“I am about to give you Canaan land to belong to your people permanently. When you enter that land, there will be times when I cause/allow mildew to appear inside one of your houses.
35 その家の持ち主はきて、祭司に告げ、『患部のようなものが、わたしの家にあります』と言わなければならない。
If that happens, the owner of that house must go to the priest and tell him, ‘There is something in my house that looks like mildew.’
36 祭司は命じて、祭司がその患部を見に行く前に、その家をあけさせ、その家にあるすべての物が汚されないようにし、その後、祭司は、はいってその家を見なければならない。
“Then the priest will say to him, ‘Take everything out of the house before I enter the house to examine the mildew. If you do not do that, I will declare that everything in the house is contaminated.’
37 その患部を見て、もしその患部が家の壁にあって、青または赤のくぼみをもち、それが壁よりも低く見えるならば、
[After the owner takes everything outside of his house], the priest will go in and inspect the house. If the mildew has caused greenish or reddish spots/depressions on the walls that seem to be deeper than only on the surface of the walls,
38 祭司はその家を出て、家の入口にいたり、七日の間その家を閉鎖しなければならない。
the priest will go outside the house and lock it up for seven days.
39 祭司は七日目に、またきてそれを見、その患部がもし家の壁に広がっているならば、
On the seventh day, he must go into the house and inspect it again. If the mildew on the walls has spread,
40 祭司は命じて、その患部のある石を取り出し、町の外の汚れた物を捨てる場所に捨てさせ、
the priest will tell someone to tear out and throw in the dump outside the town all the stones in the walls that have mildew on them.
41 またその家の内側のまわりを削らせ、その削ったしっくいを町の外の汚れた物を捨てる場所に捨てさせ、
Then the owner must scrape all the walls inside the house, and everything that is scraped off must be thrown into a dump outside the town.
42 ほかの石を取って、元の石のところに入れさせ、またほかのしっくいを取って、家を塗らせなければならない。
Then the owner must get new/other stones to replace the ones that had mildew on them, and take new clay and plaster [to cover the stones in the walls of] the house.
43 このように石を取り出し、家を削り、塗りかえた後に、その患部がもし再び家に出るならば、
“If the mildew appears again in the house after that is done,
44 祭司はまたきて見なければならない。患部がもし家に広がっているならば、これは家にある悪性のらい病であって、これは汚れた物である。
the priest must go and examine the house again. If the mildew has spread inside the house, it will be clear that the mildew is the kind that destroys [houses], and no one will be allowed to live in it.
45 その家は、こぼち、その石、その木、その家のしっくいは、ことごとく町の外の汚れた物を捨てる場所に運び出さなければならない。
It must be completely torn down—the stones, the timber and the plaster—and all those things must be thrown into a dump outside the town.
46 その家が閉鎖されている日の間に、これにはいる者は夕まで汚れるであろう。
“Anyone who goes into that house while it is locked up will not be allowed to be with other people until sunset of that day.
47 その家に寝る者はその衣服を洗わなければならない。その家で食する者も、その衣服を洗わなければならない。
Anyone who sleeps in that house or eats in that house [during that time] must wash his clothes.
48 しかし、祭司がはいって見て、もし家を塗りかえた後に、その患部が家に広がっていなければ、これはその患部がいえたのであるから、祭司はその家を清いものとしなければならない。
“But when the priest comes to examine the house after it has been plastered, if the mildew has not spread, he shall declare that people may live in it, because the mildew is gone.
49 また彼はその家を清めるために、小鳥二羽と、香柏の木と、緋の糸と、ヒソプとを取り、
But before people are allowed to live in it, the priest must take two small birds and some cedar wood and some red/scarlet yarn and some hyssop.
50 その小鳥の一羽を流れ水を盛った土の器の上で殺し、
He must kill one of the birds while [holding it] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.
51 香柏の木と、ヒソプと、緋の糸と、生きている小鳥とを取って、その殺した小鳥の血と流れ水に浸し、これを七たび家に注がなければならない。
Then he must take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the red/scarlet yarn, and the other/living bird, and dip them into the blood of the dead bird, and sprinkle some of that blood on the house seven times.
52 こうして祭司は小鳥の血と流れ水と、生きている小鳥と、香柏の木と、ヒソプと、緋の糸とをもって家を清め、
By doing all those things he will cause the house to be acceptable to be lived in again.
53 その生きている小鳥は町の外の野に放して、その家のために、あがないをしなければならない。こうして、それは清くなるであろう」。
Then he must release the other bird and allow it to fly away. By doing that, he will [finish the ritual for] causing the house to be acceptable for people to live in it again.
54 これはらい病のすべての患部、かいせん、
“Those are the regulations for contagious diseases, for itching sores,
55 および衣服と家のらい病、
for mildew [DOU] on clothes or in a house,
56 ならびに腫と、吹出物と、光る所とに関するおきてであって、
and for swellings, rashes, or bright spots [on sores],
57 いつそれが汚れているか、いつそれが清いかを教えるものである。これがらい病に関するおきてである。
to find out whether a person has a contagious disease or not, and whether people will still be permitted to touch their clothing or their house, or not.”
