Leviticus 14
1 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
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 e castris cum invenerit lepram esse mundatam
and the priest shall go out of the camp. The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,
4 praecipiet ei qui purificatur ut offerat pro se duos passeres vivos quos vesci licitum est et lignum cedrinum vermiculumque et hysopum
then the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.
5 et unum e passeribus immolari iubebit in vase fictili super aquas viventes
The priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
6 alium autem vivum cum ligno cedrino et cocco et hysopo tinguet in sanguine passeris immolati
As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood, 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
He shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go 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
“He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days.
9 et die septimo radat capillos capitis barbamque et supercilia ac totius corporis pilos et lotis rursum vestibus et corpore
It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows. He shall shave off all his hair. He shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his body in water. Then he shall be clean.
10 die octavo adsumet duos agnos inmaculatos et ovem anniculam absque macula et tres decimas similae in sacrificium quae conspersa sit oleo et seorsum olei sextarium
“On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without defect, one ewe lamb a year old without defect, three tenths of an efah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.
11 cumque sacerdos purificans hominem statuerit eum et haec omnia coram Domino in ostio tabernaculi testimonii
The priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
12 tollet agnum et offeret eum pro delicto oleique sextarium et oblatis ante Dominum omnibus
“The priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer him for a trespass offering, with the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.
13 immolabit agnum ubi immolari solet 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
He shall kill the male lamb in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary; for as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering. It is most holy.
14 adsumensque sacerdos de sanguine hostiae quae immolata est pro delicto ponet super extremum auriculae dextrae eius qui mundatur et super pollices manus dextrae et pedis
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 who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
15 et de olei sextario mittet in manum suam sinistram
The priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand.
16 tinguetque digitum dextrum in eo et asperget septies contra Dominum
The priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD.
17 quod autem reliquum est olei in leva manu fundet super extremum auriculae dextrae eius qui mundatur et super pollices manus ac pedis dextri et super sanguinem qui fusus est pro delicto
The priest shall put some of the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering.
18 et super caput eius
The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD.
19 rogabitque pro eo coram Domino et faciet sacrificium pro peccato tunc immolabit holocaustum
“The priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness. Afterward he shall kill the burnt offering;
20 et ponet illud in altari cum libamentis suis et homo rite mundabitur
then the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering on the altar. The priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21 quod si pauper est et non potest manus eius invenire quae dicta sunt adsumet agnum pro delicto ad oblationem ut roget pro eo sacerdos decimamque partem similae conspersae oleo in sacrificium et olei sextarium
“If he is poor, and can’t afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth of an efah of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;
22 duosque turtures sive duos pullos columbae quorum sit unus pro peccato et alter in holocaustum
and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
23 offeretque ea die octavo purificationis suae sacerdoti ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino
“On the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before the LORD.
24 qui suscipiens agnum pro delicto et sextarium olei levabit simul
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 auriculae dextrae illius qui mundatur et super pollices manus eius ac pedis dextri
He shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering. The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
26 olei vero partem mittet in manum suam sinistram
The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand;
27 in quo tinguens digitum dextrae manus asperget septies contra Dominum
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 dextrae auriculae illius qui mundatur et pollices manus ac pedis dextri in loco sanguinis qui effusus est pro delicto
Then the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.
29 reliquam autem partem olei quae est in sinistra manu mittet super caput purificati ut placet pro eo Dominum
The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD.
30 et turturem sive pullum columbae offeret
He shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, which ever he is able to afford,
31 unum pro delicto et alterum in holocaustum cum libamentis suis
of the kind he is able to afford, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering. The priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the LORD.”
32 hoc est sacrificium leprosi qui habere non potest omnia in emundationem sui
This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to afford the sacrifice for his cleansing.
33 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron dicens
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
34 cum ingressi fueritis terram Chanaan quam ego dabo vobis in possessionem si fuerit plaga leprae in aedibus
“When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of your possession,
35 ibit cuius est domus nuntians sacerdoti et dicet quasi plaga leprae videtur mihi esse in domo mea
then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.’
36 at ille praecipiet ut efferant universa de domo priusquam ingrediatur eam et videat utrum lepra sit ne inmunda fiant omnia quae in domo sunt intrabitque postea ut consideret domus lepram
The priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean. Afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house.
37 et cum viderit in parietibus illius quasi valliculas pallore sive rubore deformes et humiliores superficie reliqua
He shall examine the plague; and behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall,
38 egredietur ostium domus et statim claudet eam 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
The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house,
40 iubebit erui lapides in quibus lepra est et proici eos extra civitatem in loco inmundo
then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city.
41 domum autem ipsam radi intrinsecus per circuitum et spargi pulverem rasurae extra urbem in loco inmundo
He shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over. They shall pour out the mortar that they scraped off outside of the city into an unclean place.
42 lapidesque alios reponi pro his qui ablati fuerint et luto alio liniri domum
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 elatus et alia terra lita
“If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered,
44 ingressus sacerdos viderit reversam lepram et parietes aspersos maculis lepra est perseverans et inmunda domus
then the priest shall come in and look; and behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house. It is unclean.
45 quam statim destruent et lapides eius ac ligna atque universum pulverem proicient extra oppidum in loco inmundo
He shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house’s mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.
46 qui intraverit domum quando clausa est inmundus erit usque ad vesperum
“Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.
47 et qui dormierit in ea et comederit quippiam lavabit vestimenta sua
He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48 quod si introiens sacerdos viderit lepram non crevisse in domo postquam denuo lita est purificabit eam reddita sanitate
“If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold, the plague hasn’t 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 hysopum
To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.
50 et immolato uno passere in vase fictili super aquas vivas
He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
51 tollet lignum cedrinum et hysopum et coccum et passerem vivum et intinguet omnia in sanguine passeris immolati atque in aquis viventibus et asperget domum septies
He shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, 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 hysopo atque vermiculo
He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, 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 the living bird go out of the city into the open field. So shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.”
54 ista est lex omnis leprae et percussurae
This is the law for any plague of leprosy, and for an itch,
55 leprae vestium et domorum
and for the destructive mildew of a garment, and for a house,
56 cicatricis et erumpentium papularum lucentis maculae et in varias species coloribus inmutatis
and for a swelling, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;
57 ut possit sciri quo tempore mundum quid vel inmundum sit
to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean. This is the law of leprosy.
