Leviticus 13
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron, dicens:
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
2 Homo, in cuius cute et carne ortus fuerit diversus color sive pustula, aut quasi lucens quippiam, id est plaga lepræ, adducetur ad Aaron sacerdotem, vel ad unum quemlibet filiorum eius.
“Anyone who has a swelling, a rash, or a spot on the skin that may be an infectious skin disease must be taken to Aaron the priest or to one of his descendants.
3 Qui cum viderit lepram in cute, et pilos in album mutatos colorem, ipsamque speciem lepræ humiliorem cute et carne reliqua; plaga lepræ est, et ad arbitrium eius separabitur.
The priest will inspect whatever is on the skin. If the hair there has turned white and if the issue seems to be more than something on the surface, it is a serious skin disease, and the priest who inspects it will declare the person unclean.
4 Sin autem lucens candor fuerit in cute, nec humilior carne reliqua, et pili coloris pristini, recludet eum sacerdos septem diebus,
But if the spot is only a white discoloration and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, and if the hair on the spot has not turned white, the priest will place the person in isolation for seven days.
5 et considerabit die septimo: et si quidem lepra ultra non creverit, nec transierit in cute priores terminos, rursum recludet eum septem diebus aliis.
On the seventh day the priest will conduct another inspection, and if he discovers that the spot hasn't changed and hasn't spread on the skin, the priest must place the person in isolation for another seven days.
6 Et die septimo contemplabitur: si obscurior fuerit lepra, et non creverit in cute, mundabit eum, quia scabies est: lavabitque homo vestimenta sua, et mundus erit.
On the seventh day after this the priest will inspect it again. If the spot has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest will declare the person clean since it was a rash. They must wash their clothes and will be clean.
7 Quod si postquam a sacerdote visus est, et redditus munditiæ, iterum lepra creverit; adducetur ad eum,
However, if the rash does spread after the person has been inspected by the priest and has been declared clean, the person must go back to be inspected again.
8 et immunditiæ condemnabitur.
If the priest discovers that the rash has spread, he must declare the person unclean because it is certainly a skin disease.
9 Plaga lepræ si fuerit in homine, adducetur ad sacerdotem,
Anyone who develops an infectious skin disease must be taken to the priest.
10 et videbit eum. Cumque color albus in cute fuerit, et capillorum mutaverit aspectum, ipsa quoque caro viva apparuerit:
The priest will inspect them, and if there is a white swelling on the skin and the hair there has turned white, and there is an open wound in the swelling,
11 lepra vetustissima iudicabitur, atque inolita cuti. Contaminabit itaque eum sacerdos, et non recludet, quia perspicuæ immunditiæ est.
it is a serious skin disease and the priest must declare them unclean. He doesn't need to place the person in isolation because they are unclean.
12 Sin autem effloruerit discurrens lepra in cute, et operuerit omnem cutem a capite usque ad pedes, quidquid sub aspectum oculorum cadit,
However, if the skin disease affects all their skin so that it covers their skin from head to toe, everywhere the priest can see,
13 considerabit eum sacerdos, et teneri lepra mundissima iudicabit: eo quod omnis in candorem versa sit, et idcirco homo mundus erit.
the priest shall inspect them, and if the disease has covered their entire body, he will declare the person clean. As it has all turned white, they are clean.
14 Quando vero caro vivens in eo apparuerit,
But if when someone's inspected an open wound is found, they will be unclean.
15 tunc sacerdotis iudicio polluetur, et inter immundos reputabitur. Caro enim viva si lepra aspergitur, immunda est.
When the priest discovers an open wound, he must declare the person unclean. The open wound is unclean; it is an infectious skin disease.
16 Quod si rursum versa fuerit in alborem, et totum hominem operuerit,
But if the open wound heals and becomes white, the person must go back to the priest.
17 considerabit eum sacerdos, et mundum esse decernet.
The priest will inspect them again, and if the wound has turned white, the priest is to declare the person clean; then they are clean.
18 Caro autem et cutis in qua ulcus natum est et sanatum,
When a boil comes up on someone's skin and then it heals,
19 et in loco ulceris cicatrix alba apparuerit, sive subrufa, adducetur homo ad sacerdotem:
and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot appears in its place, they must show themselves to the priest.
20 qui cum viderit locum lepræ humiliorem carne reliqua, et pilos versos in candorem, contaminabit eum: plaga enim lepræ orta est in ulcere.
The priest shall inspect it, and if it seems to be more than something on the surface, and if the hair there has turned white, the priest shall declare him unclean. It is a serious skin disease that has infected the boil.
21 Quod si pilus coloris est pristini, et cicatrix subobscura, et vicina carne non est humilior, recludet eum septem diebus.
However, if when the priest inspects it, it doesn't have white hair in it and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, and has faded, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.
22 Et si quidem creverit, adiudicabit eum lepræ.
If then the spot has spread further on the skin, the priest will declare them unclean; it is a disease.
23 Sin autem steterit in loco suo, ulceris est cicatrix, et homo mundus erit.
But if the spot stays the same and doesn't spread, it's just the scar from the boil, and the priest will declare them clean.
24 Caro autem et cutis, quam ignis exusserit, et sanata albam sive rufam habuerit cicatricem,
If someone has a burn on their skin and where it's raw changes into a reddish-white or white spot,
25 considerabit eam sacerdos, et ecce versa est in alborem, et locus eius reliqua cute est humilior: contaminabit eum, quia plaga lepræ in cicatrice orta est.
the priest must inspect it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot seems to be more than something on the surface, it is a serious skin disease that has infected the burn, and the priest who inspects it will declare the person unclean. It is an infectious skin disease.
26 Quod si pilorum color non fuerit immutatus, nec humilior plaga carne reliqua, et ipsa lepræ species fuerit subobscura, recludet eum septem diebus,
However, if when the priest inspects it, it doesn't have white hair in it and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, and has faded, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.
27 et die septimo contemplabitur: si creverit in cute lepra, contaminabit eum.
On the seventh day the priest will inspect the person again. If then the spot has spread further on the skin, the priest will declare them unclean; it is a serious skin disease.
28 Sin autem in loco suo candor steterit non satis clarus, plaga combustionis est, et idcirco mundabitur, quia cicatrix est combusturæ.
But if the spot stays the same and hasn't spread on the skin, but has faded, it's the swelling from the burn, and the priest will declare them clean because it's just the scar from the burn.
29 Vir, sive mulier, in cuius capite vel barba germinaverit lepra, videbit eos sacerdos,
If someone, man or woman, has a sore on the head or chin,
30 et si quidem humilior fuerit locus carne reliqua, et capillus flavus, solitoque subtilior; contaminabit eos, quia lepra capitis ac barbæ est.
the priest shall inspect it, and if it appears to be more than superficial and the hair in it has become pale and thin, the priest must declare them unclean; it is an infection producing scabs, a serious disease of the head or chin.
31 Sin autem viderit locum maculæ æqualem vicinæ carni, et capillum nigrum: recludet eum septem diebus,
However, if the priest inspects the scabby infection and it doesn't seem to be more than superficial and has no pale hair in it, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.
32 et die septimo intuebitur. Si non creverit macula, et capillus sui coloris est, et locus plagæ carni reliquæ æqualis:
On the seventh day the priest will inspect the person again and if the scabby infection has not spread and there is no pale hair in it, and it doesn't seem to be more than superficial,
33 radetur homo absque loco maculæ, et includetur septem diebus aliis.
then the person must shave themselves except for the scaly area. The priest is to place the person in isolation for another seven days.
34 Si die septimo visa fuerit stetisse plaga in loco suo, nec humilior carne reliqua, mundabit eum, lotisque vestibus suis mundus erit.
On the seventh day the priest will inspect the scabby infection, and if it has not spread on the skin and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, the priest is to pronounce the person clean. They must wash their clothes and will be clean.
35 Sin autem post emundationem rursus creverit macula in cute,
However, if the scabby infection has spread on the skin after been declared clean,
36 non quæret amplius utrum capillus in flavum colorem sit immutatus, quia aperte immundus est.
the priest must inspect them, and if the scabby infection has indeed spread on the skin, the priest doesn't need to check for pale hair; the person is unclean.
37 Porro si steterit macula, et capilli nigri fuerint, noverit hominem sanatum esse, et confidenter eum pronunciet mundum.
But if the priest sees that the scabby infection hasn't changed, and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. The person is clean, and the priest must declare it.
38 Vir, sive mulier, in cuius cute candor apparuerit,
If someone, man or woman, has white spots on the skin,
39 intuebitur eos sacerdos. Si deprehenderit subobscurum alborem lucere in cute, sciat non esse lepram, sed maculam coloris candidi, et hominem mundum.
the priest shall inspect them, and if the spots appear a dull white, it's just a rash that has developed on the skin; the person is clean.
40 Vir, de cuius capite capilli fluunt, calvus et mundus est:
If a man loses his hair and goes bald, he is still clean.
41 et si a fronte ceciderint pili, recalvaster et mundus est.
If he has a receding hairline and he goes bald on his forehead, he is still clean.
42 Sin autem in calvitio sive in recalvatione albus vel rufus color fuerit exortus,
But if a reddish-white sore appears on his bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease developing.
43 et hoc sacerdos viderit, condemnabit eum haud dubiæ lepræ, quæ orta est in calvitio.
The priest must inspect him, and if the swelling of the sore on his bald head or forehead looks reddish-white like a skin disease,
44 Quicumque ergo maculatus fuerit lepra, et separatus est ad arbitrium sacerdotis,
then he is has an infectious disease; he is unclean. The priest must declare him unclean because of the infection on his head.
45 habebit vestimenta dissuta, caput nudum, os veste contectum, contaminatum ac sordidum se clamabit.
Anyone who has such diseases must wear clothes that are torn and let their hair remain uncombed. They must cover their faces and shout out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’
46 Omni tempore quo leprosus est, et immundus, solus habitabit extra castra.
They remain unclean as long as the infection lasts. They have to live alone somewhere outside the camp.
47 Vestis lanea sive linea, quæ lepram habuerit
The following regulations relate to any material that becomes affected by mold, such as wool or linen clothing,
48 in stamine atque subtegmine, aut certe pellis, vel quidquid ex pelle confectum est,
anything woven or knitted made from linen or wool, or anything made of leather:
49 si alba vel rufa macula fuerit infecta, lepra reputabitur, ostendeturque sacerdoti.
If the spot is green or red on the material, whether it's leather, woven, or knitted or some other leather item, then it is infected with mold and must be shown to the priest.
50 Qui consideratam recludet septem diebus:
The priest must inspect the mold and place the item in isolation for seven days.
51 et die septimo rursus aspiciens, si deprehenderit crevisse, lepra perseverans est: pollutum iudicabit vestimentum, et omne in quo fuerit inventa:
On the seventh day the priest shall inspect it again, and if the patch of mold has spread in the material, whether it's leather, woven, or knitted or some other leather item, then it is a harmful mold; the article is unclean, whatever it is being used for.
52 et idcirco comburetur flammis.
The priest is to burn it, whether the affected item is wool or linen or leather. Because the mold is harmful, the article must be burned.
53 Quod si eam viderit non crevisse,
However, if when the priest inspects it again it, the patch mold has not spread,
54 præcipiet, et lavabunt id, in quo lepra est, recludetque illud septem diebus aliis.
the priest shall order that the affected item is washed and placed in isolation for another seven days.
55 Et cum viderit faciem quidem pristinam non reversam, nec tamen crevisse lepram, immundum iudicabit, et igne comburet, eo quod infusa sit in superficie vestimenti vel per totum, lepra.
Once it has been washed, the priest is to inspect again it, and if the item with the mold hasn't changed how it looks, it is unclean. Though the mold hasn't spread, you must burn the item, whether the mold damage is on the inside or the outside.
56 Sin autem obscurior fuerit locus lepræ, postquam vestis est lota, abrumpet eum, et a solido dividet.
If the priest inspects it and the patch of mold has faded after it has been washed, he is to cut out the affected part the material, whether it's leather, woven, or knitted.
57 Quod si ultra apparuerit in his locis, quæ prius immaculata erant, lepra volatilis et vaga: debet igne comburi.
However, if the mold comes back then it is spreading. In that case you must burn the affected item.
58 Si cessaverit, lavabit aqua ea, quæ pura sunt, secundo, et munda erunt.
If the mold disappears after washing, then have it washed again, and it will be clean.
59 Ista est lex lepræ vestimenti lanei et linei, staminis, atque subtegminis, omnisque supellectilis pelliceæ, quomodo mundari debeat, vel contaminari.
These are the regulations regarding what needs to be done when mold contaminates wool or linen material, whether woven or knitted, or any leather item, as to declaring it clean or unclean.”
