Leviticus 13

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

And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto 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.

When, any man, shall have—in the skin of his flesh—a rising, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it shall become in the skin of his flesh the plague-spot of leprosy, then shall he be brought in unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests;

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 the priest shall view the spot in the skin of his flesh—if, the hair in the plague, have turned white and the appearance of the spot be deeper than the skin of his flesh, the plague-spot of leprosy, it is, —so the priest shall view him and pronounce him 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 bright spot, though white in the skin of his flesh, is not deeper in appearance than the skin, and, the hair, hath not turned white, then shall the priest shut up the plagued one, 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 shall view him on the seventh day, and lo! if the spot hath stayed to his sight, and the spot hath not spread in the skin, then shall the priest shut him up 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.

Then shall the priest view him on the seventh day, a second time, and lo! if the spot is, faint, and the spot hath not spread in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him clean—it is, a scab, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

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

But if the scab shall have, verily spread, in the skin, since he was shown to the priest that he might be cleansed, then shall he shew himself again unto the priest;

8 et immunditiae condemnabitur.

and the priest shall take a view, and lo! if the scab hath spread in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean—leprosy, it is.

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

When, the plague of leprosy, cometh to be in any human being, then shall he be brought in unto the priest;

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

and the priest shall take a view, and lo! if there is a white rising in the skin and, the same, hath turned the hair white, —and there be a wound of raw flesh in the rising,

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

an old leprosy, it is in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, —he shall not shut him up, for unclean, he is.

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, cometh quite out, in the skin, and the leprosy covereth all the skin of him that, is plagued, from his head even unto his feet, —so far as appeareth to the eyes of the priest,

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

then shall the priest takes view and lo! if the leprosy hath covered all his flesh, then shall he pronounce clean him that was plagued, —all of it, hath turned white, clean, he is.

14 Quando vero caro vivens in eo apparuerit,

But, the very day there appeareth in him raw flesh, he shall be unclean;

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

so then the priest shall view the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean, —as for the raw flesh, unclean, it is, leprosy, it is.

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

Or, if the raw flesh turn again and be changed to white, then shall he come in unto the priest;

17 considerabit eum sacerdos, et mundum esse decernet.

and the priest shall view him, and lo! if the spot hath changed to white, then shall the priest pronounce clean him that was plagued—clean, he is.

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

And, when, any one’s flesh, hath, in the skin thereof, a boil, —and then it is healed;

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

but in the place of the boil, is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish white, then shall it be shown unto 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 the priest shall take a view and lo! if the appearance thereof, is lower than the skin, and, the hair thereof, hath turned white, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean—the plague-spot of leprosy, it, is, in the boil, broken out.

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

But, if the priest shall view it and lo! there is no white hair therein, and it is not deeper than the skin, and, in itself, is faint, then shall the priest shut him up seven days;

22 et si quidem creverit, adiudicabit eum leprae.

and, if it, clearly spreadeth, in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean—a plague-spot, it is.

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

But if in its place the bright spot stayeth hath not spread, a boil, it is, —and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

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

Or, when, any one’s flesh, hath in the skin thereof a fiery burning, —and the burning wound becometh a bright spot reddish 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.

then shall the priest view it—and lo! if the hair is turned white in the bright spot and the appearance thereof is deeper than the skin, leprosy, it is, broken out, in the burning, —so the priest shall pronounce him unclean, the plague-spot of leprosy, it is.

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 priest shall view it and lo! there is not, in the bright spot white hair, and it is not deeper than the skin but, itself, is faint, then shall the priest shut him up seven days;

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

and the priest shall view him on the seventh day, —if it, hath plainly spread in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean, the plague-spot of leprosy, it is.

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

But, if, in its place the bright spot hath stayed, and hath not spread in the skin, but, itself, is faint, the rising of a burning, it is, —and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for only the inflaming of the burning, it is.

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

And, when there cometh to be in, any man or woman, a spot, —in the head or in the beard,

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

then shall the priest view the spot and lo! if, the appearance thereof, is deeper than the skin, and, therein, is yellow, thin hair, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean a scall, it is, a leprosy of the head or of the beard, it is.

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

But when the priest vieweth the spot, and lo! there is, no appearance, of it deeper than the skin, and, no dark hair, is therein, then shall the priest shut up him that hath the plague-spot of scall, seven days;

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

and the priest shall view the spot on the seventh day, and lo! if the scall hath not spread, and there hath not come to be therein yellow hair, —and, the appearance of the scall, is not deeper than the skin,

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

then shall he shave himself, but the scall, shall he not shave, and the priest shall shut up him who hath the scall 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.

then shall the priest view the scall, on the seventh day, and lo! if the scall hath not spread in the skin, and, the appearance thereof, is not deeper than the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him clean, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

35 Sin autem post emundationem rursus creverit macula in cute,

But, if the scall do indeed spread in the skin, —after he hath been pronounced clean,

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

then shall the priest take a view, and lo! if the scall hath spread in the skin, the priest shall not search for the yellow hair—unclean, he is.

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

But, if in his eyes, the scall is at a stay, and dark hair hath grown up therein, the scall is healed, clean, he is, —and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

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

And when either, man or woman, hath in the skin of their flesh bright spots, —bright spots that are white,

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

then shall the priest take a view and lo! if, in the skin of their flesh, are bright spots that are dull white, dead white spot, it is, that hath broken through in the skin—clean, he is.

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

And, when, any man’s, head loseth its hair, though, bald, he is, clean.

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

And if, in front, his head loseth its hair, though bald in the forehead, he is, clean.

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

But, should there be, in the baldness behind, or in the baldness in front, a spot that is reddish white, leprosy broken out, it is, in his baldness behind, or in his baldness in front.

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

So the priest shall view it, and lo! if, the rising-spot, be reddish white in his baldness behind or in his baldness in front, —like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh,

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

a leprous man, is he, unclean, he is, —unclean, shall the priest pronounce him in his head, is his plague.

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

Now, as for the leper in whom is the plague, His clothes, shall be rent, And, his head, shall be bare, And, his beard, shall he cover, —And, Unclean! Unclean! shall he cry.

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

All the days that the plague is in him, shall he continue unclean, Unclean, he is, —Alone, shall he remain, Outside the camp, shall be his dwelling.

47 Vestis lanea sive linea, quae lepram habuerit

And, when, in a garment, there is a plague-spot of leprosy, —whether in a garment of wool, or a garment of flax;

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

either in warp or in weft, made with flax, or with wool, —or in a skin, or in anything wrought of skin;

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

and the spot cometh to be of a greenish yellow or reddish, in the garment or in the skin, whether in warp or in weft, or in any utensil of skin, the plague-spot of leprosy, it is, —and shall be shown unto the priest;

50 qui consideratam recludet septem diebus:

and the priest shall view the spot, —and shall shut up him that is plagued seven days;

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

then shall he view the spot, on the seventh day if the spot hath spread in the garment whether in warp or in weft, or in the skin, or anything which may be made of skin for service, the spot is a fretting leprosy, unclean, it is.

52 et idcirco comburetur flammis.

Then shall he burn up the garment whether it be in the warp or the weft in wool or in flax, or any utensil of skin, wherein shall be the plague-spot, —for, a fretting leprosy, it is, in fire, shall it be burnt up.

53 Quod si eam viderit non crevisse,

But if the priest shall take a view, and lo! the spot has not spread, in the garment, either in warp or in weft, —or in any utensil of skin,

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

then shall the priest give command, and they shall wash that wherein is the spot, —and he shall shut it up 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.

then shall the priest take a view after the plagued garment hath been washed and lo! if the spot hath not changed its look, then though the spot hath not spread, yet unclean, it is, in the fire, shalt thou burn it up, —a sunken spot, it is, in the back thereof, or in the front thereof.

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

And, if the priest hath taken a view, and lo! the spot is, faint, since it hath been washed, then shall he rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, whether out of the warp or out of the weft;

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

and, if it appear still in the garment—either in the warp or in the weft, or in any utensil of skin, a breaking out, it is, —in the fire, shalt thou burn up that wherein is the plague.

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

But, as for the garment—whether the warp or the weft or any utensil of skin which thou shalt wash, and the plague shall depart therefrom, then shall it be washed a second time, and 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 as to the plague-spot of leprosy, in a garment of wool or of flax, whether in the warp or the weft, or in any utensil of skin, —To pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
