Leviticus 13
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron, dicens:
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
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.
The man in whose skin or flesh there will have arisen a diverse color, or a pustule, or something that seems to shine, which is the mark of leprosy, shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to anyone you wish among 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 he sees that leprosy is in his skin, and that the hair has turned a white color, and that the place where the leprosy appears is lower than the rest of the skin and the flesh, then it is the mark of leprosy, and at his judgment he shall be separated.
4 Sin autem lucens candor fuerit in cute, nec humilior carne reliqua, et pili coloris pristini, recludet eum sacerdos septem diebus,
But if there will be a shining whiteness in the skin, but it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is of unaffected color, the priest shall seclude him 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 on the seventh day he shall examine him, and if the leprosy certainly has not increased further, and has not spread itself in the skin, he shall seclude him again, 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.
And on the seventh day, he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy has become obscured, and has not increased in the skin, he shall declare him clean, because it is a scab. And the man shall wash his clothes, and he shall be clean.
7 Quod si postquam a sacerdote visus est, et redditus munditiae, iterum lepra creverit; adducetur ad eum,
But if the leprosy increases again, after he was seen by the priest and restored to cleanness, he shall be brought to him,
8 et immunditiae condemnabitur.
and he shall be condemned of uncleanness.
9 Plaga leprae si fuerit in homine, adducetur ad sacerdotem,
If the mark of leprosy has been in a man, he shall be brought to the priest,
10 et videbit eum. Cumque color albus in cute fuerit, et capillorum mutaverit aspectum, ipsa quoque caro viva apparuerit:
and he shall look upon him. And when there is a white color in the skin, and it has an altered appearance in its hair, and also the same flesh seems alive,
11 lepra vetustissima iudicabitur, atque inolita cuti. Contaminabit itaque eum sacerdos, et non recludet, quia perspicuae immunditiae est.
it shall be judged a chronic leprosy, which has grown into the skin. And so the priest shall declare him contaminated, and he shall not seclude him, because 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,
But if the leprosy will have flourished, coursing through the skin, and will have covered all the skin from the head even to the feet, whatever falls under the sight of the eyes,
13 considerabit eum sacerdos, et teneri lepra mundissima iudicabit: eo quod omnis in candorem versa sit, et idcirco homo mundus erit.
the priest shall examine him, and he shall judge that the leprosy that he possesses is very clean, because it has all turned to whiteness, and for this reason the man shall be clean.
14 Quando vero caro vivens in eo apparuerit,
Yet truly, when the living flesh shall appear in him,
15 tunc sacerdotis iudicio polluetur, et inter immundos reputabitur. caro enim viva si lepra aspergitur, immunda est.
then by the judgment of the priest he shall be polluted, and he shall be considered to be among the unclean. For the live flesh, if it is spotted with leprosy, is unclean.
16 Quod si rursum versa fuerit in alborem, et totum hominem operuerit,
And if again it will have turned into whiteness, and will have covered the entire man,
17 considerabit eum sacerdos, et mundum esse decernet.
the priest shall examine him, and he shall discern him to be clean.
18 Caro autem et cutis in qua ulcus natum est et sanatum,
But when there has been an ulcer in the flesh and the skin, and it has healed,
19 et in loco hulceris cicatrix alba apparuerit, sive subrufa, adducetur homo ad sacerdotem:
and in the place of the ulcer, there appears a white or reddish scar, the man shall be brought to the priest.
20 qui cum viderit locum leprae humiliorem carne reliqua, et pilos versos in candorem, contaminabit eum: plaga enim leprae orta est in hulcere.
And when he will have seen the place of the leprosy lower than the rest of the flesh, and that the hair has turned white, he shall declare him contaminated. For the plague of leprosy has arisen from the ulcer.
21 Quod si pilus coloris est pristini, et cicatrix subobscura, et vicina carne non est humilior, recludet eum septem diebus.
But if the hair is of the usual color, and the scar is somewhat obscure and is not lower than the nearby flesh, he shall seclude him for seven days.
22 et si quidem creverit, adiudicabit eum leprae.
And if it will have certainly increased, he shall judge him to have leprosy.
23 sin autem steterit in loco suo, hulceris est cicatrix, et homo mundus erit.
But if it stays in its place, it is the scar of an ulcer, and the man shall be clean.
24 Caro autem et cutis, quam ignis exusserit, et sanata albam sive rufam habuerit cicatricem,
But if flesh and skin has been burned by fire, and, having been healed, now has a white or red scar,
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 shall examine it, and if he sees that it has turned white, and that its place is lower than the rest of the skin, he shall declare him contaminated, for the mark of leprosy has arisen in the scar.
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 the color of the hair has not been changed, nor is the mark lower than the rest of the flesh, and the leprosy itself appears to be somewhat obscure, he shall seclude him for seven days,
27 et die septimo contemplabitur: si creverit in cute lepra, contaminabit eum.
and on the seventh day he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy will have increased further in the skin, he shall declare him contaminated.
28 sin autem in loco suo candor steterit non satis clarus, plaga combustionis est, et idcirco mundabitur, quia cicatrix est combusturae.
But if the whiteness stays in its place and is not very clear, it is the mark of a burn, and for this reason he shall be declared clean, because it is only the scar from a burn.
29 Vir, sive mulier, in cuius capite vel barba germinaverit lepra, videbit eos sacerdos.
If leprosy will have sprung up in the head or the beard of a man or woman, the priest shall look upon them,
30 et si quidem humilior fuerit locus carne reliqua, et capillus flavus, solitoque subtilior; contaminabit eos, quia lepra capitis ac barbae est.
and if the place is certainly lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is golden, and thinner than usual, he shall declare them contaminated, because it is the leprosy of the head and the beard.
31 Sin autem viderit locum maculae aequalem vicinae carni, et capillum nigrum: recludet eum septem diebus,
But if he sees that the place of the spot is equal with the nearby flesh, and that the hair is black, he shall seclude him 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 he shall examine it. If the spot has not increased, and the hair has kept its color, and the place of the mark is equal with the rest of the flesh,
33 radetur homo absque loco maculae, et includetur septem diebus aliis.
the man shall be shaven, except in the place of the spot, and he shall be secluded 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, if the mark seems to have stayed in its place, and it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, he shall declare him clean, and, his clothes having been washed, he shall be clean.
35 Sin autem post emundationem rursus creverit macula in cute,
But if, after his cleansing, the spot will have increased again in the skin,
36 non quaeret amplius utrum capillus in flavum colorem sit commutatus, quia aperte immundus est.
he shall no longer inquire as to whether the hair has turned yellow, because he is plainly unclean.
37 Porro si steterit macula, et capilli nigri fuerint, noverit hominem sanatum esse, et confidenter eum pronunciet mundum.
Furthermore, if the spot has not increased, and the hair is black, let him know that the man is healed: and let him confidently pronounce him clean.
38 Vir, sive mulier, in cuius cute candor apparuerit,
If a whiteness will have appeared in the skin of a man or a woman,
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 examine them. If he detects an obscured whiteness shining in the skin, may he know that it is not leprosy, but a white-colored blemish, and that the man is clean.
40 Vir, de cuius capite capilli fluunt, calvus et mundus est:
The man whose hair falls off of his head is bald and clean.
41 et si a fronte ceciderint pili, recalvaster et mundus est.
And if the hair falls off of his forehead, he is bald in front and clean.
42 Sin autem in calvitio sive in recalvatione albus vel rufus color fuerit exortus,
But if in the bald head or bald forehead there has arisen a white or reddish color,
43 et hoc sacerdos viderit, condemnabit eum haud dubiae leprae, quae orta est in calvitio.
and the priest will have seen this, he shall condemn him without doubt of leprosy, which has arisen in the baldness.
44 Quicumque ergo maculatus fuerit lepra, et separatus est ad arbitrium sacerdotis,
Therefore, whoever will have been spotted by leprosy, and who has been separated at the judgment of the priest,
45 habebit vestimenta dissuta, caput nudum, os veste contectum, contaminatum ac sordidum se clamabit.
shall have his clothes unstitched, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth, and he himself shall cry out that he is contaminated and filthy.
46 Omni tempore quo leprosus est, et immundus, solus habitabit extra castra.
The entire time that he is a leper and unclean he shall live alone outside the camp.
47 Vestis lanea sive linea, quae lepram habuerit
A woolen or linen garment that will have held the leprosy,
48 in stamine atque subtegmine, aut certe pellis, vel quidquid ex pelle confectum est,
in the main fibers or in any of the threads, or certainly in a skin, or whatever has been made from a skin,
49 si alba vel rufa macula fuerit infecta, lepra reputabitur, ostendeturque sacerdoti.
if it has been infected with a white or red spot, it shall be considered to be leprosy, and it shall be shown to the priest.
50 qui consideratam recludet septem diebus:
And he, having examined it, shall close it 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 on the seventh day, having looked at it again, if he detects an increase, it is a persistent leprosy; he shall judge the garment to be polluted, along with everything with which it has been found.
52 et idcirco comburetur flammis.
And because of this, it shall be burned in flames.
53 Quod si eam viderit non crevisse,
But if he will have seen that it has not increased,
54 praecipiet, et lavabunt id, in quo lepra est, recludetque illud septem diebus aliis.
he shall instruct them, and they shall wash whatever has the leprosy in it, and he shall close it up 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.
And when he will have seen that the former appearance has not returned, even if the leprosy has not increased, he shall judge it to be unclean, and he shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has been infused in the exterior of the garment, or throughout the whole.
56 Sin autem obscurior fuerit locus leprae, postquam vestis est lota, abrumpet eum, et a solido dividet.
But if the place of the leprosy has become somewhat darker, after the garment has been washed, he shall tear it away, and separate it from the part that is sound.
57 Quod si ultra apparuerit in his locis, quae prius immaculata erant, lepra volatilis et vaga: debet igne comburi.
But if, after this, there will appear in those places which before were immaculate, a flying and wandering leprosy, it must be burned with fire.
58 si cessaverit, lavabit aqua ea, quae pura sunt, secundo, et munda erunt.
If it will have ceased, he shall wash with water the parts which are pure for a second time, and they shall 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 leprosy for any woolen or linen garment, in the weave and in the threads, and for all items made from skins, how it must be declared either clean or contaminated.
