Leviticus 14
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Hic est ritus leprosi, quando mundandus est. Adducetur ad sacerdotem:
"This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest,
3 qui egressus de castris, cum invenerit lepram esse mundatam,
and the priest shall go forth out of the camp. The priest shall examine him, and look, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,
4 præcipiet ei, qui purificatur, ut offerat duos passeres vivos pro se, quibus vesci licitum est, et lignum cedrinum, vermiculumque et hyssopum.
then the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
5 Et unum ex passeribus immolari jubebit in vase fictili super aquas viventes:
The priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
6 alium autem vivum cum ligno cedrino, et cocco et hyssopo, tinget in sanguine passeris immolati,
As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and 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 quo asperget illum, qui mundandus est, septies, ut jure purgetur: et dimittet passerem vivum, ut in agrum avolet.
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 Cumque laverit homo vestimenta sua, radet omnes pilos corporis, et lavabitur aqua: purificatusque ingredietur castra, ita dumtaxat ut maneat extra tabernaculum suum septem diebus,
"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 et die septimo radet capillos capitis, barbamque et supercilia, ac totius corporis pilos. Et lotis rursum vestibus et corpore,
It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his body in water, then he shall be clean.
10 die octavo assumet duos agnos immaculatos, et ovem anniculam absque macula, et tres decimas similæ in sacrificium, quæ conspersa sit oleo, et seorsum olei sextarium.
"On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
11 Cumque sacerdos purificans hominem, statuerit eum, et hæc omnia coram Domino in ostio tabernaculi testimonii,
The priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before YHWH, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
12 tollet agnum et offeret eum pro delicto, oleique sextarium: et oblatis ante Dominum omnibus,
"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 YHWH.
13 immolabit agnum, ubi solet immolari hostia pro peccato, et holocaustum, id est, in loco sancto. Sicut enim pro peccato, ita et pro delicto ad sacerdotem pertinet hostia: Sancta sanctorum est.
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 Assumensque sacerdos de sanguine hostiæ, quæ immolata est pro delicto, ponet super extremum auriculæ dextræ ejus qui mundatur, et super pollices manus dextræ et pedis:
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 et de olei sextario mittet in manum suam sinistram,
The priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand.
16 tingetque digitum dextrum in eo, et asperget coram Domino septies.
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 YHWH.
17 Quod autem reliquum est olei in læva manu, fundet super extremum auriculæ dextræ ejus qui mundatur, et super pollices manus ac pedis dextri, et super sanguinem qui effusus est pro delicto,
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 et super caput ejus.
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 YHWH.
19 Rogabitque pro eo coram Domino, et faciet sacrificium pro peccato: tunc immolabit holocaustum,
"The priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering;
20 et ponet illud in altari cum libamentis suis, et homo rite mundabitur.
and 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 Quod si pauper est, et non potest manus ejus invenire quæ dicta sunt pro delicto, assumet agnum ad oblationem, ut roget pro eo sacerdos, decimamque partem similæ conspersæ oleo in sacrificium, et olei sextarium,
"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 mingled with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;
22 duosque turtures sive duos pullos columbæ, quorum unus sit pro peccato, et alter in holocaustum:
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 offeretque ea die octavo purificationis suæ sacerdoti, ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino.
"On the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before YHWH.
24 Qui suscipiens agnum pro delicto et sextarium olei, levabit simul:
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 YHWH.
25 immolatoque agno, de sanguine ejus ponet super extremum auriculæ dextræ illius qui mundatur, et super pollices manus ejus ac pedis dextri:
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 olei vero partem mittet in manum suam sinistram,
The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand;
27 in quo tingens digitum dextræ manus asperget septies coram Domino:
and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before YHWH.
28 tangetque extremum dextræ auriculæ illius qui mundatur, et pollices manus ac pedis dextri, in loco sanguinis qui effusus est pro delicto:
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 reliquam autem partem olei, quæ est in sinistra manu, mittet super caput purificati, ut placet pro eo Dominum:
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 YHWH.
30 et turturem sive pullum columbæ offeret,
He shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he is able to afford,
31 unum pro delicto, et alterum in holocaustum cum libamentis suis.
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 YHWH."
32 Hoc est sacrificium leprosi, qui habere non potest omnia in emundationem sui.
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 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:
YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
34 Cum ingressi fueritis terram Chanaan, quam ego dabo vobis in possessionem, si fuerit plaga lepræ in ædibus,
"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 ibit cujus est domus, nuntians sacerdoti, et dicet: Quasi plaga lepræ videtur mihi esse in domo mea.
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 At ille præcipiet ut efferant universa de domo, priusquam ingrediatur eam, et videat utrum leprosa sit, ne immunda fiant omnia quæ in domo sunt. Intrabitque postea ut consideret lepram domus:
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: and afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house.
37 et cum viderit in parietibus illius quasi valliculas pallore sive rubore deformes, et humiliores superficie reliqua,
He shall examine the plague; and look, 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 egredietur ostium domus, et statim claudet illam septem diebus.
then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.
39 Reversusque die septimo, considerabit eam: si invenerit crevisse lepram,
The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house,
40 jubebit erui lapides in quibus lepra est, et projici eos extra civitatem in locum immundum:
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 domum autem ipsam radi intrinsecus per circuitum, et spargi pulverem rasuræ extra urbem in locum immundum,
and he shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scraped off, outside of the city into an unclean place.
42 lapidesque alios reponi pro his qui ablati fuerint, et luto alio liniri domum.
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 Sin autem postquam eruti sunt lapides, et pulvis erasus, et alia terra lita,
"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 ingressus sacerdos viderit reversam lepram, et parietes respersos maculis, lepra est perseverans, et immunda domus:
then the priest shall come in and look; and look, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house. It is unclean.
45 quam statim destruent, et lapides ejus ac ligna, atque universum pulverem projicient extra oppidum in locum immundum.
And 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 Qui intraverit domum quando clausa est, immundus erit usque ad vesperum:
"Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.
47 et qui dormierit in ea, et comederit quippiam, lavabit vestimenta sua.
He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48 Quod si introiens sacerdos viderit lepram non crevisse in domo, postquam denuo lita fuerit, purificabit eam reddita sanitate:
"If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and look, 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 et in purificationem ejus sumet duos passeres, lignumque cedrinum, et vermiculum atque hyssopum:
To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
50 et immolato uno passere in vase fictili super aquas vivas,
He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
51 tollet lignum cedrinum, et hyssopum, et coccum, et passerem vivum, et tinget omnia in sanguine passeris immolati, atque in aquis viventibus, et asperget domum septies,
He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and 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 purificabitque eam tam in sanguine passeris quam in aquis viventibus, et in passere vivo, lignoque cedrino et hyssopo atque vermiculo.
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 Cumque dimiserit passerem avolare in agrum libere, orabit pro domo, et jure mundabitur.
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 Ista est lex omnis lepræ et percussuræ,
This is the law for any plague of leprosy, and for an itch,
55 lepræ vestium et domorum,
and for the destructive mildew of a garment, and for a house,
56 cicatricis et erumpentium papularum, lucentis maculæ, et in varias species, coloribus immutatis,
and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;
57 ut possit sciri quo tempore mundum quid, vel immundum sit.
to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean. This is the law of leprosy.
