Leviticus 13

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron, dicens:

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

2 Homo, in cuius cute et carne ortus fuerit diversus color sive pustula, aut quasi lucens quippiam, id est plaga leprae, adducetur ad Aaron sacerdotem, vel ad unum quemlibet filiorum eius.

If a man has on his skin a growth or a mark or a white place, and it becomes the disease of a leper, let him be taken to Aaron the priest, or to one of the priests, his sons;

3 Qui cum viderit lepram in cute, et pilos in album mutatos colorem. ipsamque speciem leprae humiliorem cute et carne reliqua; plaga leprae est, et ad arbitrium eius separabitur.

And if, when the priest sees the mark on his skin, the hair on the place is turned white and the mark seems to go deeper than the skin, it is the mark of a leper: and the priest, after looking at him, will say that he is 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 mark on his skin is white, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is not turned white, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days;

5 et considerabit die septimo: et siquidem lepra ultra non creverit, nec transierit in cute priores terminos, rursum recludet eum septem diebus aliis.

And the priest is to see him on the seventh day; and if, in his opinion, the place on his skin has not become worse and is not increased in size, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days more:

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.

And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; and if the mark is less bright and is not increased on his skin, then let the priest say that he is clean: it is only a skin-mark, and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean.

7 Quod si postquam a sacerdote visus est, et redditus munditiae, iterum lepra creverit; adducetur ad eum,

But if the size of the mark on his skin is increased after he has been seen by the priest, let him go to the priest again:

8 et immunditiae condemnabitur.

And if, after looking at him, he sees that the mark is increased in his skin, let the priest say that he is unclean; he is a leper.

9 Plaga leprae si fuerit in homine, adducetur ad sacerdotem,

When the disease of a leper is seen on a man, let him be taken to the priest;

10 et videbit eum. Cumque color albus in cute fuerit, et capillorum mutaverit aspectum, ipsa quoque caro viva apparuerit:

And if the priest sees that there is a white growth on the skin, and the hair is turned white, and there is diseased flesh in the growth,

11 lepra vetustissima iudicabitur, atque inolita cuti. Contaminabit itaque eum sacerdos, et non recludet, quia perspicuae immunditiae est.

It is an old disease in the skin of his flesh, and the priest will say that he is unclean; he will not have to be shut up, for he is clearly unclean.

12 Sin autem effloruerit discurrens lepra in cute, et operuerit omnem carnem a capite usque ad pedes, quidquid sub aspectum oculorum cadit,

And if the disease comes out all over his skin, from his head to his feet, as far as the priest is able to see,

13 considerabit eum sacerdos, et teneri lepra mundissima iudicabit: eo quod omnis in candorem versa sit, et idcirco homo mundus erit.

And if the priest sees that all his flesh is covered with the leper's disease, the priest will say that he is clean: it is all turned white, he is clean.

14 Quando vero caro vivens in eo apparuerit,

But whenever diseased flesh is seen on him, he will be unclean.

15 tunc sacerdotis iudicio polluetur, et inter immundos reputabitur. caro enim viva si lepra aspergitur, immunda est.

And when the priest sees the diseased flesh he will say that he is unclean; the diseased flesh is unclean, he is a leper.

16 Quod si rursum versa fuerit in alborem, et totum hominem operuerit,

Or if the diseased flesh is turned again and changed to white then he is to come to the priest,

17 considerabit eum sacerdos, et mundum esse decernet.

And the priest will see him: and if the place is turned white, then the priest will say that he is free from the disease.

18 Caro autem et cutis in qua ulcus natum est et sanatum,

And if a bad place has come out on the skin and is well again,

19 et in loco hulceris cicatrix alba apparuerit, sive subrufa, adducetur homo ad sacerdotem:

And on the same place there is a white growth of a bright mark, red and white, then let the priest see it;

20 qui cum viderit locum leprae humiliorem carne reliqua, et pilos versos in candorem, contaminabit eum: plaga enim leprae orta est in hulcere.

And after looking at it, if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is turned white, then the priest will say that the man is unclean: it is the leper's disease, it has come out in the bad place.

21 Quod si pilus coloris est pristini, et cicatrix subobscura, et vicina carne non est humilior, recludet eum septem diebus.

But if, after looking at it, he sees that there are no white hairs on it, and it is not deeper than the skin, and it is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

22 et si quidem creverit, adiudicabit eum leprae.

And if it is increasing on the skin, the priest will say that he is unclean: it is a disease.

23 sin autem steterit in loco suo, hulceris est cicatrix, et homo mundus erit.

But if the bright mark keeps in the same place and gets no greater, it is the mark of the old wound, and the priest will say that he is clean.

24 Caro autem et cutis, quam ignis exusserit, et sanata albam sive rufam habuerit cicatricem,

Or if there is a burn on the skin of the flesh, and if the diseased flesh in the burn becomes a bright place, red and white or white,

25 considerabit eam sacerdos, et ecce versa est in alborem, et locus eius reliqua cute est humilior: contaminabit eum, quia plaga leprae in cicatrice orta est.

The priest is to see it: and if the hair on the bright place is turned white and it seems to go deeper than the skin, he is a leper: it has come out in the burn, and the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

26 Quod si pilorum color non fuerit immutatus, nec humilior plaga carne reliqua, et ipsa leprae species fuerit subobscura, recludet eum septem diebus,

But if, after looking at it, the priest sees that there is no white hair on the bright place, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

27 et die septimo contemplabitur: si creverit in cute lepra, contaminabit eum.

And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; if it is increased in the skin, then the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

28 sin autem in loco suo candor steterit non satis clarus, plaga combustionis est, et idcirco mundabitur, quia cicatrix est combusturae.

And if the bright place keeps the same size and gets no greater on the skin, but is less bright, it is the effect of the burn, and the priest will say that he is clean: it is the mark of the burn.

29 Vir, sive mulier, in cuius capite vel barba germinaverit lepra, videbit eos sacerdos.

And when a man or a woman has a disease on the head, or in the hair of the chin,

30 et si quidem humilior fuerit locus carne reliqua, et capillus flavus, solitoque subtilior; contaminabit eos, quia lepra capitis ac barbae est.

Then the priest is to see the diseased place: and if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and if there is thin yellow hair in it, then the priest will say that he is unclean: he has the mark of the leper's disease on his head or in the hair of his chin.

31 Sin autem viderit locum maculae aequalem vicinae carni, et capillum nigrum: recludet eum septem diebus,

And after looking at the diseased place, if it does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest will have him shut up for seven days:

32 et die septimo intuebitur. Si non creverit macula, et capillus sui coloris est, et locus plagae carni reliquae aequalis:

And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not seem to go deeper than the skin,

33 radetur homo absque loco maculae, et includetur septem diebus aliis.

Then his hair is to be cut off, but not on the diseased place, and he is to be shut up for seven days more:

34 Si die septimo visa fuerit stetisse plaga in loco suo, nec humilior carne reliqua, mundabit eum, lotisque vestibus suis mundus erit.

And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, the priest will say that he is clean: and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean.

35 Sin autem post emundationem rursus creverit macula in cute,

But if the disease in his skin becomes worse after he has been made clean,

36 non quaeret amplius utrum capillus in flavum colorem sit commutatus, quia aperte immundus est.

Then the priest is to see him: and if the mark is increased, the priest, without looking for the yellow hair, will say that he is unclean.

37 Porro si steterit macula, et capilli nigri fuerint, noverit hominem sanatum esse, et confidenter eum pronunciet mundum.

But if, in his opinion, the growth is stopped, and black hair has come up on it, the disease has gone; he is clean and the priest will say that he is clean.

38 Vir, sive mulier, in cuius cute candor apparuerit,

And if a man or a woman has bright marks on the skin of their flesh, that is, bright white marks,

39 intuebitur eos sacerdos. si deprehenderit subobscurum alborem lucere in cute, sciat non esse lepram, sed maculam coloris candidi, et hominem mundum.

Then the priest is to see them: and if the white marks on their skin are not very bright, it is a skin disease which has come out on the skin; he is clean.

40 Vir, de cuius capite capilli fluunt, calvus et mundus est:

And if a man's hair has come out and he has no hair, still he is clean.

41 et si a fronte ceciderint pili, recalvaster et mundus est.

And if the hair has gone from the front part of his head, so that he has no hair there, still he is clean.

42 Sin autem in calvitio sive in recalvatione albus vel rufus color fuerit exortus,

But if, on his head or on his brow, where he has no hair, there is a red and white place, it is the disease of the leper coming out on his head or on his brow.

43 et hoc sacerdos viderit, condemnabit eum haud dubiae leprae, quae orta est in calvitio.

Then if the priest sees that the growth of the disease has become red and white on his head or on his brow where there is no hair, like the mark in the skin of a leper;

44 Quicumque ergo maculatus fuerit lepra, et separatus est ad arbitrium sacerdotis,

He is a leper and unclean; the priest is to say that he is most certainly unclean: the disease is in his head.

45 habebit vestimenta dissuta, caput nudum, os veste contectum, contaminatum ac sordidum se clamabit.

And the leper who has the disease on him is to go about with signs of grief, with his hair loose and his mouth covered, crying, Unclean, unclean.

46 Omni tempore quo leprosus est, et immundus, solus habitabit extra castra.

While the disease is on him, he will be unclean. He is unclean: let him keep by himself, living outside the tent-circle.

47 Vestis lanea sive linea, quae lepram habuerit

And any clothing of wool or of linen in which is the mark of the disease;

48 in stamine atque subtegmine, aut certe pellis, vel quidquid ex pelle confectum est,

If it is in the threads of the linen or of the wool, or in leather, or in anything made of skin;

49 si alba vel rufa macula fuerit infecta, lepra reputabitur, ostendeturque sacerdoti.

If there are red or green marks on the clothing, or on the leather, or in the threads of the cloth, or in anything made of skin, it is the leper's disease: let the priest see it.

50 qui consideratam recludet septem diebus:

And after it has been seen by the priest, the thing which is so marked is to be shut up for seven days:

51 et die septimo rursus aspiciens si deprehenderit crevisse, lepra perseverans est: pollutum iudicabit vestimentum, et omne in quo fuerit inventa:

And he is to see the mark on the seventh day; if the mark is increased in the clothing, or in the threads of the material, or in the leather, whatever the leather is used for, it is the disease biting into it: it is unclean.

52 et idcirco comburetur flammis.

And the clothing, or the wool or linen material, or anything of leather in which is the disease, is to be burned: for the disease is biting into it; let it be burned in the fire.

53 Quod si eam viderit non crevisse,

And if the priest sees that the mark is not increased in the clothing or in any part of the material or in the leather,

54 praecipiet, et lavabunt id, in quo lepra est, recludetque illud septem diebus aliis.

Then the priest will give orders for the thing on which the mark is, to be washed, and to be shut up for seven days more:

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.

And if, after the mark has been washed, the priest sees that the colour of it is not changed and it is not increased, it is to be burned in the fire: the disease is working in it, though the damage may be inside or outside.

56 Sin autem obscurior fuerit locus leprae, postquam vestis est lota, abrumpet eum, et a solido dividet.

And if the priest sees that the mark is less bright after the washing, then let him have it cut out of the clothing or the leather or from the threads of the material:

57 Quod si ultra apparuerit in his locis, quae prius immaculata erant, lepra volatilis et vaga: debet igne comburi.

And if the mark is still seen in the clothing or in the threads of the material or in the leather, it is the disease coming out: the thing in which the disease is will have to be burned with fire.

58 si cessaverit, lavabit aqua ea, quae pura sunt, secundo, et munda erunt.

And the material of the clothing, or anything of skin, which has been washed, if the mark has gone out of it, let it be washed a second time and it will be clean.

59 Ista est lex leprae vestimenti lanei et linei, staminis, atque subtegminis, omnisque supellectilis pelliceae, quomodo mundari debeat, vel contaminari.

This is the law about the leper's disease in the thread of wool or linen material, in clothing or in anything of skin, saying how it is to be judged clean or unclean.
