Leviticus 13

1 LEUM GOD El sang nu sel Moses ac Aaron oakwuk ten inge.

Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:

2 Mwet se fin oasr palang se ku faf se ku ruf se ke manol, su ma ac ku in ekla nu ke sie mas yohk, ma ac sensenkinyuk, na ac fah utukla el nu yurin mwet tol in sou lal Aaron.

“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 Mwet tol sac fah lohang ac liye sring se ke manol uh, na unac kac an fin fasrfasrla ac faf sac aryurla loal liki kolo ma rauneak acn sac, na kalem lah sie mas na sensen pa oan sel uh, ac mwet tol el fah fahkelik ac akkalemye lah mwet sac tia nasnas.

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 Tusruktu sring se ke manol uh fin fasrfasr a tiana aryurla in loal liki kolo ma rauneak uh, ac unac kac uh tiana fasrfasrla, na mwet tol sac fah srela mwet uh ke len itkosr.

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 Mwet tol fah sifilpa liyal ke len se akitkosr, ac el fin liye mu sring se ke manol uh nuna oaya ah na, ac tiana yokelik, na el fah srella ke itkosr pac len uh.

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 Mwet tol el fah sifilpa liyal ke len se akitkosr, ac sring se kacl uh fin misa in muta uh, ac tiana yokelik, mwet tol el fah akkalemye lah mwet sac nasnas — sring se na pa ma sac. Mwet sac fah ohlla nuknuk lal, na el nasnas.

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 Tusruktu sring sac fin yokelik tukun mwet tol sac tuh liyal tari ac fahkak mu el nasnas, na mwet sac el enenu in sifilpa foloko nu ye mutun mwet tol.

But if the sore spreads after the priest has examined him, he must go to the priest again.

8 Mwet tol el fah sifilpa liyal, ac sring sac fin yokelik, na mwet tol el fah akkalemye lah el tia nasnas — mas na sensen se pa oan sel uh.

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 Mwet se fin oasr mas na sensen se ke manol, ac fah utuku el nu yurin mwet tol,

When anyone has a contagious skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.

10 su ac fah arulana tuni ac liye. Fin oasr palang se momoul inmuta ke manol, ac orala unac ke manol in fasrfasrla ac oasr sronin uswanen kac,

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 kalem lah oasr sie mas sensen yorol. Na mwet tol el fah fahkak lah mwet sac el tia nasnas. Tia enenu in kauli el, mweyen kalem tari lah el tia nasnas.

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 Palang sac fin orakelik afinya mwet sac ke insifali nwe ke nial,

‘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 mwet tol el ac enenu in sifil liyal. El fin konauk tuh pwaye mas sac afunla manol nufon, el fah fahkak lah mwet sac nasnas. Kolo kacl uh nufon fin ekla fasrfasr, na el nasnas.

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 Tusruktu ke pacl se na sie palang ke manol uh aryurla, na el tia nasnas.

But if the person has open sores and they are very painful/sensitive, he has a contagious skin disease,

15 Mwet tol el fah sifilpa liyal, ac el fin liye tuh aryurla ma se ke manol, na el ac fahkak lah mwet sac tia nasnas. Kalmen aryurla pa oasr mas sensen yorol, ac mwet sac tia nasnas.

and when the priest sees that, he will declare that the person must stay away from other people.

16 Tusruktu ma se ke manol uh fin mahla ac sifil fasrfasrla, na mwet sac enenu in som nu yurin mwet tol,

But if the person’s flesh changes and becomes white, he must go to the priest again.

17 su ac fah sifil liye. Ma se ke manol fin fasrfasrla, na el nasnas, ac mwet tol el fah fahkulak lah el nasnas.

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 Fin faf se oan ke sie mwet nwe mahla,

‘Then someone has a boil on his skin and it has healed,

19 ac tok kutu, pulol fasrfasr se, ku tuhn srusra se sikyak ke inken faf se meet ah, na mwet sac enenu in som nu yurin mwet tol.

but in the place where the boil was a white swelling or a bright/shiny spot appears, he must go to the priest.

20 Mwet tol el ac fah liyal, ac fin acn se ma fasrfasrla uh luman loali liki ikwa ma rauneak uh, ac unac kac uh fasrfasrla, na mwet tol el fah fahkulak lah mwet sac el tia nasnas. Kalem lah mas sensen nu ke kolo se pa sikyak in faf sac.

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 Tusruktu mwet tol el fin liye, ac konauk lah unac kac tiana fasrfasrla, ac tia pac loali liki kolo siska ah a misa inmuta, mwet tol el fah srella elan mukena muta ke len itkosr.

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 Acn ma tuhnla uh fin orakelik, na mwet tol el ac fahkulak lah mwet sac tia nasnas. Mas sensen se pa yorol.

But if it is spreading, it is contagious and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.

23 Tusruktu fin oanna tia ekla ac tia pac yokelik, na kalem lah inken faf sacna pa inge, ac mwet tol el fah fahkak lah mwet sac nasnas.

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 Ke kain pacl se ma sie mwet el folla, ac acn ma folla kacl uh fin fasrfasrla ku srusrala inmuta uh,

‘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 mwet tol el fah liyal. Fin unen acn sac fasrfasrla ac aryurla loal liki kolo siska uh, na kalem lah mas sensen nu ke kolo se pa sikyak ke acn se ma folla, ac mwet tol el fah fahkak lah mwet sac tia nasnas.

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 Tusruktu unen acn sac fin tiana fasrfasrla ac tia pac aryurla loal liki kolo siska ah, ac inmuta uh misa na, na mwet tol sac fah srella ke len itkosr.

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 Mwet tol el fah sifilpa liyal tukun len itkosr, ac fin yokelik ma sac na kalem lah mas sensen nu ke kolo se pa kacl uh, ac mwet tol el fah fahkak lah mwet sac tia nasnas.

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 Tusruktu acn sac fin tiana ekla, ac tiana yokelik, ac inmuta uh misa na, na kalem mu tia mas sensen se. Mwet tol el fah akkalemye lah mwet sac nasnas, mweyen inken na fol sac pa kacl uh.

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 Fin mukul se ku mutan se oasr palang se ke sifal ku kapin oalul,

‘If a man or a woman has a sore on his head or on his chin,

30 mwet tol el fah liyal ac tuni. Fin palang sac tuh aryurla loal liki kolo siska uh, ac unac ke acn sac luman rangrangla ac pueni, na kalem mu mas sensen nu ke kolo pa sel uh, ac mwet tol el fah akkalemye lah mwet sac tia nasnas.

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 Ke mwet tol sac el fin liyal, tuh na ma se ke manol uh tiana luman loali liki kolo ma rauneak uh, ac srakna wangin unac fokoko kac, na el fah srella liki inmasrlon mwet uh ke len itkosr.

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 Mwet tol el fah sifilpa liye ma se ke manol uh ke len se akitkosr, ac fin tiana yokelik ac wangin pacna unac luman rangrang kac, ac tia pacna aryurla loal liki siska uh,

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 na mwet sac fah resaela sifal, sayen acn se ma palang sac oan kac. Mwet tol el fah sifil srella ke len itkosr pac.

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 Ke len se akitkosr, mwet tol el fah sifilpa liye palang se kacl uh. Fin tuh tiana yokelik ac tia pac luman aryurla loal liki kolo siska uh, na el fah fahkak lah mwet sac nasnas. Mwet sac ac fah ohlla nuknuk lal uh, na el fah nasnasla.

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 Tusruktu palang sac fin sifilpa yokelik tukun akkalemyeyuk mu mwet sac nasnas,

But if the sore later spreads,

36 na mwet tol el fah sifilpa liyal. Palang sac fin yokelik, el tia enenu in suk lah rangrangla unac kac ah. Kalem na lah mwet sac tia nasnas.

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 Tusruktu fin mwet tol el liye mu palang sac tiana yokelik, ac unac na fokoko kapak kac, na kalem lah palang sac mahla, ac mwet tol el fah fahkak lah mwet sac nasnas.

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 Fin mukul se ku mutan se oasr tuhn fasrfasr sikyak ke manol,

‘Then a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,

39 na mwet tol el ac enenu in liye ac tuni mwet sac. Tuhn sac fin tuh fasrfasr ef se, na kalem mu tuhn se na ke manol, ac mwet sac nasnas.

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 Aunsifen sie mwet fin putatla, el ac musrasrla, tusruktu el nasnas na.

‘If a man loses the hair on any part of his head, he does not need to stay away from other people.

41 Fin tuh putatla aunsuf ke likinsraclyak nu motonsrol, na motonsrol ac turangangla, tusruktu el nasnas na.

42 Tusruktu fin oasr ma fasrfasr srusrsrusra fahsryak ke acn turangangla inge, na kalem lah mas na sensen nu ke kolo se pa inge.

But if he gets a bright/shiny sore on his bald head or on his forehead, he has a contagious skin disease.

43 Mwet tol el fah tuni ac liye mwet se inge, ac fin oasr acn ma luman srusrsrusra ac fasrfasr inmuta kac,

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 na mwet tol enenu in fahkak lah mwet sac tia nasnas, ke sripen mas sensen se ma fahsryak ke sifal uh.

the priest will declare that the man has a contagious skin disease and must not be with other people.

45 Sie mwet su sun mas ma sensenkinyuk nu ke kolo, el enenu in nukum nuknuk mihsasa, ac fuhlela aunsifal in mirangak, afinya tafunyen ten ke mutal, wowo ac fahk, “Nga tia nasnas! Nga tia nasnas!”

‘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 El fah fohkfok ac tia nasnas ke lusenna pacl mas sac oan sel, ac el fah srisrila ac muta likin nien aktuktuk uh, sayen acn mwet uh muta we.

He is not allowed to be with other people as long as he has the disease. He must live alone, outside the camp.’”

47 Fin oasr tuhnyohu ke nuknuk, finne ma orekla ke unen sheep ku ke nuknuk minini,

“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 ku oan ke ipin nuknuk minini, ku ipin nuknuk unen sheep, ku oan fin kulun kosro ku kutena ma orekla ke kulun kosro,

49 fin luman tuhn folfolsra lac ku tuhn srusrayak, na kalem lah tuhnyohu orak se, ac enenu in itukyang nu sin mwet tol.

If the contaminated/mildewed part is greenish or reddish, it is a spreading mildew, and it must be shown to the priest.

50 Mwet tol el fah lohang nu kac ac srela nu saya ke len itkosr.

The priest will examine it, and then put it in a separate place by itself for seven days.

51 El fah sifilpa liye ke len se akitkosr, ac tuhnyohu sac fin orakelik, na ma sac tia nasnas.

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 Mwet tol el fah esukak, mweyen tuhnyohu orak se pa inge, ac enenu na in isisyak.

The owner must burn completely the item that has the mildew in it, whatever kind of item it is.

53 Tusruktu, mwet tol el fin liye tuh na tuhnyohu sac tiana yokelik,

But when the priest examines it, if the mildew has not spread,

54 el fah sap in owola, ac sifil filiyuki ke len itkosr pac.

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 Na el fah sifilpa liye, ac tuhnyohu sac fin tiana ekla tuhna, finne tia orakelik, ac srakna tia nasnas. Kowos enenu in esukak ma sac, finne ip ma kulawi uh oan meet ku tok.

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 Tusruktu mwet tol sac fin sifil lohang nu kac tuh liyauk lah tuhn sac efla, na el fah sacla ip sac liki nuknuk sac ku kulun kosro sac.

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 Na tuhnyohu sac fin sifilpa sikyak, kalem lah sifilpa orakelik, na mwet se la ma sac enenu na in esukak.

But if the mildew reappears in that item, it is clear that it is spreading, and the whole item must be burned.

58 El fin ohlla nuknuk sac ku kolo sac, na tuhn sac wanginla, el enenu in sifilpa ohlla, na ma sac fah nasnas.

But after the clothing is washed and the mildew disappears, it must be washed again, and then it can be worn again.

59 Ac pa inge ma sap nu ke tuhnyohu ma oan fin nuknuk, finne ma orekla ke unen sheep ku linen, ku ipin nuknuk linen ku ipin nuknuk unen sheep, ku kutena ma su orekla ke kulun kosro. Pa inge ma ac akkalemye ma su nasnas ku tia nasnas.

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.”
