Leviticus 13
1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron dicens
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2 homo in cuius carne et cute 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 someone has a swelling or rash or bright spot on his skin that could become an infectious skin disease, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest.
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
The priest is to examine the infection on his skin, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean.
4 sin autem lucens candor fuerit in cute nec humilior carne reliqua et pili coloris pristini recludet eum sacerdos septem diebus
If, however, the spot on his skin is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
5 et considerabit die septimo et siquidem lepra ultra non creverit nec transierit in cute priores terminos rursum includet eum septem diebus aliis
On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if he sees that the infection is unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must isolate him 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
The priest will examine him again on the seventh day, and if the sore has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a rash. The person must 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 rash spreads further on his skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must present himself again to the priest.
8 et inmunditiae condemnabitur
The priest will reexamine him, and if the rash has spread on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; he has a skin disease.
9 plaga leprae si fuerit in homine adducetur ad sacerdotem
When anyone develops a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
10 et videbit eum cumque color albus in cute fuerit et capillorum mutarit aspectum ipsa quoque caro viva apparuerit
The priest will examine him, and if there is a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
11 lepra vetustissima iudicabitur atque inolita cuti contaminabit itaque eum sacerdos et non recludet quia perspicue inmunditia est
it is a chronic skin disease and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not isolate him, for he is unclean.
12 sin autem effloruerit discurrens lepra in cute et operuerit omnem carnem a capite usque ad pedes quicquid sub aspectu oculorum cadit
But if the skin disease breaks out all over his skin so that it covers all the skin of the infected person from head to foot, as far as 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 examine him, and if the disease has covered his entire body, he is to pronounce the infected person clean. Since it has all turned white, he is clean.
14 quando vero caro vivens in eo apparuerit
But whenever raw flesh appears on someone, he will be unclean.
15 tunc sacerdotis iudicio polluetur et inter inmundos reputabitur caro enim viva si lepra aspergatur inmunda est
When the priest sees the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease.
16 quod si rursum versa fuerit in alborem et totum hominem operuerit
But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest.
17 considerabit eum sacerdos et mundum esse decernet
The priest will reexamine him, and if the infection has turned white, the priest is to pronounce the infected person clean; then he is clean.
18 caro et cutis in qua ulcus natum est et sanatum
When a boil appears on someone’s skin and it heals,
19 et in loco ulceris cicatrix apparuerit alba sive subrufa adducetur homo ad sacerdotem
and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, he must present himself 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 ulcere
The priest shall examine it, and if it appears to be beneath the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection that has broken out in the boil.
21 quod si pilus coloris est pristini et cicatrix subobscura et vicina carne non est humilior recludet eum septem diebus
But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in it, and it is not beneath the skin and has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.
22 et siquidem creverit adiudicabit eum leprae
If it spreads any further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.
23 sin autem steterit in loco suo ulceris est cicatrix et homo mundus erit
But if the spot remains unchanged and does not spread, it is only the scar from the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24 caro et cutis quam ignis exuserit et sanata albam sive rufam habuerit cicatricem
When there is a burn on someone’s skin and the raw area of the burn becomes reddish-white or white,
25 considerabit eam sacerdos et ecce versa est in alborem et locus eius reliqua cute humilior contaminabit eum quia plaga leprae in cicatrice orta est
the priest must examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.
26 quod si pilorum color non fuerit inmutatus nec humilior plaga carne reliqua et ipsa leprae species fuerit subobscura recludet eum septem diebus
But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the spot, and it is not beneath the skin but has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.
27 et die septimo contemplabitur si creverit in cute lepra contaminabit eum
On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if it has spread further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.
28 sin autem in loco suo candor steterit non satis clarus plaga conbustionis est et idcirco mundabitur quia cicatrix est conbusturae
But if the spot is unchanged and has not spread on the skin but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest is to pronounce him clean; for it is only the scar from the burn.
29 vir sive mulier in cuius capite vel barba germinarit lepra videbit eos sacerdos
If a man or woman has an infection on the head or chin,
30 et siquidem humilior fuerit locus carne reliqua et capillus flavus solitoque subtilior contaminabit eos quia lepra capitis ac barbae est
the priest shall examine the infection, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin and the hair in it is yellow and thin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a scaly outbreak, an infectious disease of the head or chin.
31 sin autem viderit et locum maculae aequalem vicinae carni et capillum nigrum recludet eos septem diebus
But if the priest examines the scaly infection and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
32 et die septimo intuebitur si non creverit macula et capillus sui coloris est et locus plagae carni reliquae aequalis
On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine the infection, and if the scaly outbreak has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin,
33 radetur homo absque loco maculae et includetur septem diebus aliis
then the person must shave himself except for the scaly area. Then the priest shall isolate him for another seven days.
34 si die septimo visa fuerit stetisse plaga in loco suo nec humilior carne reliqua mundabit eum lotisque vestibus mundus erit
On the seventh day the priest shall examine the scaly outbreak, and if it has not spread on the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest is to pronounce him clean. He must wash his clothes, and he will be clean.
35 sin autem post emundationem rursus creverit macula in cute
If, however, the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing,
36 non quaeret amplius utrum capillus in flavum colorem sit commutatus quia aperte inmundus est
the priest is to examine him, and if the scaly outbreak has spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellow hair; the person is unclean.
37 porro si steterit macula et capilli nigri fuerint noverit hominem esse sanatum et confidenter eum pronuntiet mundum
If, however, in his sight the scaly outbreak is unchanged and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. He is clean, and the priest is to pronounce him clean.
38 vir et mulier in cuius cute candor apparuerit
When a man or a 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 examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.
40 vir de cuius capite capilli fluunt calvus ac mundus est
Now if a man loses his hair and is bald, he is still clean.
41 et si a fronte ceciderint pili recalvaster et mundus est
Or if his hairline recedes and he is bald on his forehead, he is still clean.
42 sin autem in calvitio sive in recalvatione albus vel rufus color fuerit exortus
But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on it.
43 et hoc sacerdos viderit condemnabit eum haut dubiae leprae quae orta est in calvitio
The priest is to examine him, and if the swelling of the infection on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white like a skin disease,
44 quicumque ergo maculatus fuerit lepra et separatus ad arbitrium sacerdotis
the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head.
45 habebit vestimenta dissuta caput nudum os veste contectum contaminatum ac sordidum se clamabit
A diseased person must wear torn clothes and let his hair hang loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’
46 omni tempore quo leprosus est et inmundus solus habitabit extra castra
As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.
47 vestis lanea sive linea quae lepram habuerit
If any fabric is contaminated with mildew —any wool or linen garment,
48 in stamine atque subtemine aut certe pellis vel quicquid ex pelle confectum est
any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather—
49 si alba aut rufa macula fuerit infecta lepra reputabitur ostendeturque sacerdoti
and if the mark in the fabric, leather, weave, knit, or leather article is green or red, then it is contaminated with mildew and must be shown to the priest.
50 qui consideratam recludet septem diebus
And the priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the contaminated fabric for seven days.
51 et die septimo rursus aspiciens si crevisse deprehenderit lepra perseverans est pollutum iudicabit vestimentum et omne in quo fuerit inventa
On the seventh day the priest shall reexamine it, and if the mildew has spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather, then regardless of how it is used, it is a harmful mildew; the article is unclean.
52 et idcirco conburetur flammis
He is to burn the fabric, weave, or knit, whether the contaminated item is wool or linen or leather. Since the mildew is harmful, the article must be burned up.
53 quod si eam viderit non crevisse
But when the priest reexamines it, if the mildew has not spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather article,
54 praecipiet et lavabunt id in quo lepra est recludetque illud septem diebus aliis
the priest is to order the contaminated article to be washed and isolated for another seven days.
55 et cum viderit faciem quidem pristinam non reversam nec tamen crevisse lepram inmundum iudicabit et igne conburet eo quod infusa sit in superficie vestimenti vel per totum lepra
After it has been washed, the priest is to reexamine it, and if the mildewed article has not changed in appearance, it is unclean. Even though the mildew has not spread, you must burn it, whether the rot is on the front or back.
56 sin autem obscurior fuerit locus leprae postquam vestis est lota abrumpet eum et a solido dividet
If the priest examines it and the mildew has faded after it has been washed, he must cut the contaminated section out of the fabric, leather, weave, or knit.
57 quod si ultra apparuerit in his locis quae prius inmaculata erant lepra volatilis et vaga debet igne conburi
But if it reappears in the fabric, weave, or knit, or on any leather article, it is spreading. You must burn the contaminated article.
58 si cessaverit lavabit ea quae pura sunt secundo et munda erunt
If the mildew disappears from the fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article after washing, then it is to be washed again, and it will be clean.
59 ista est lex leprae vestimenti lanei et linei staminis atque subteminis omnisque supellectilis pelliciae quomodo mundari debeat vel contaminari
This is the law concerning a mildew contamination in wool or linen fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article, for pronouncing it clean or unclean.”
