Leviticus 14
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the LORD 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; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be 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 shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
5 Et unum ex passeribus immolari iubebit in vase fictili super aquas viventes:
And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed 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 iure purgetur: et dimittet passerem vivum, ut in agrum avolet.
And he shall sprinkle on him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose 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,
And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.
9 et die septimo radet capillos capitis, barbamque et supercilia, ac totius corporis pilos. Et lotis rursum vestibus et corpore,
But 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: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and 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.
And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat 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,
And the priest that makes him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
12 tollet agnum, et offeret eum pro delicto, oleique sextarium. Et oblatis ante Dominum omnibus,
And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:
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.
And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: 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 eius qui mundatur, et super pollices manus dextræ et pedis:
And 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 that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot:
15 et de olei sextario mittet in manum suam sinistram,
And 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.
And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD:
17 Quod autem reliquum est olei in læva manu, fundet super extremum auriculæ dextræ eius qui mundatur, et super pollices manus ac pedis dextri, et super sanguinem qui effusus est pro delicto,
And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the blood of the trespass offering:
18 et super caput eius.
And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall pour on the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD.
19 Rogabitque pro eo coram Domino, et faciet sacrificium pro peccato. Tunc immolabit holocaustum,
And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from 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 meat offering on the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21 Quod si pauper est, et non potest manus eius 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,
And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat 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 get; 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.
And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD.
24 Qui suscipiens agnum pro delicto et sextarium olei, levabit simul:
And 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 the LORD:
25 immolatoque agno, de sanguine eius ponet super extremum auriculæ dextræ illius qui mundatur, et super pollices manus eius ac pedis dextri:
And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot:
26 olei vero partem mittet in manum suam sinistram,
And the priest shall pour 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 the LORD:
28 tangetque extremum dextræ auriculæ illius qui mundatur, et pollices manus ac pedis dextri in loco sanguinis qui effusus est pro delicto:
And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great 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:
And the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD.
30 et turturem sive pullum columbæ offeret,
And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;
31 unum pro delicto, et alterum in holocaustum cum libamentis suis.
Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD.
32 Hoc est sacrificium leprosi, qui habere non potest omnia in emundationem sui.
This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertains to his cleansing.
33 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:
And the LORD 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 be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;
35 ibit cuius est domus, nuncians sacerdoti, et dicet: Quasi plaga lepræ videtur mihi esse in domo mea.
And he that owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seems to me there is as it were a 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:
Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:
37 et cum viderit in parietibus illius quasi valliculas pallore sive rubore deformes, et humiliores superficie reliqua,
And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower 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,
And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
40 iubebit erui lapides in quibus lepra est, et proiici eos extra civitatem in locum immundum:
Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:
41 domum autem ipsam radi intrinsecus per circuitum, et spargi pulverem rasuræ extra urbem in locum immundum,
And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:
42 lapidesque alios reponi pro his qui ablati fuerint, et luto alio liniri domum.
And 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,
And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he has taken away the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered;
44 ingressus sacerdos viderit reversam lepram, et parietes respersos maculis, lepra est perseverans, et immunda domus:
Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean.
45 quam statim destruent, et lapides eius ac ligna, atque universum pulverem proiicient extra oppidum in locum immundum.
And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.
46 Qui intraverit domum quando clausa est, immundus erit usque ad vesperum:
Moreover he that goes into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
47 et qui dormierit in ea, et comederit quippiam, lavabit vestimenta sua.
And he that lies in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that 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:
And if the priest shall come in, and look on it, and, behold, the plague has not 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 eius sumet duos passeres, lignumque cedrinum, et vermiculum atque hyssopum:
And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
50 et immolato uno passere in vase fictili super aquas vivas,
And he shall kill the 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,
And 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.
And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:
53 Cumque dimiserit passerem avolare in agrum libere, orabit pro domo, et iure mundabitur.
But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
54 Ista est lex omnis lepræ et percussuræ,
This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scale,
55 lepræ vestium et domorum,
And for the leprosy of a garment, and of 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.
