Levitike 13
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2 « Soki poso ya nzoto ya moto ebimisi bambuma ya mike-mike to esali kolokoto to lipalata, bongo ezwi lolenge ya bokono ya maba, bakomema moto yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron to epai ya moko kati na bana na ye, Banganga-Nzambe.
“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 Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu poso ya nzoto oyo esili kozwa bokono. Soki amoni ete bapwale oyo ezali na esika oyo ezwi bokono na poso ebongwani mpe ekomi pembe; bongo bapota efungwami na poso ya nzoto, wana elakisi ete ezali bokono ya maba; mpe Nganga-Nzambe akoki koloba mbala moko ete moto yango azali mbindo.
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 Soki lipalata oyo ebimi na poso ezali ya pembe mpe ezali kongenga, bongo efungwami te mpo na kosala pota na poso ya nzoto, Nganga-Nzambe akolongola kati na lisanga, moto oyo abeli mpe akotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko mikolo sambo.
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 Sima na mikolo yango sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye lisusu malamu: soki amoni ete lipalata oyo ebimaki na poso ya nzoto efungwami te mpe epanzani te na nzoto mobimba, akotika moto oyo abeli na esika oyo atiaki ye mpo ete asala lisusu mikolo sambo.
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 Sima na mikolo sambo yango, Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye lisusu malamu: soki lipalata oyo ebimaki na poso ya nzoto ekawuki mpe epanzani te na nzoto mobimba, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo te; ezali kolokoto ya pamba. Moto yango akosukola bilamba na ye mpo ete azali mbindo te.
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 Nzokande, soki sima na Nganga-Nzambe kotala mpe koloba ete moto yango azali peto, kolokoto yango epanzani na poso, moto yango asengeli kozonga epai ya Nganga-Nzambe mpo ete atala ye lisusu.
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 Soki amoni ete kolokoto epanzani na poso ya nzoto, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali na bokono ya maba mpe azali mbindo.
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 Soki moto azwi bokono ya maba, basengeli komema ye epai ya Nganga-Nzambe.
When anyone develops a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
10 Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye malamu. Soki amoni ete poso ya nzoto na ye ebimisi bambuma ya pembe ya mike-mike, ekomisi bapwale ya nzoto na ye pembe, efungwami mpe ebimisi bapota,
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 wana elakisi ete ezali bokono ya maba ya libela kati na poso ya nzoto na ye, mpe Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo. Ekozala na tina te kotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko, pamba te emonani ete azali mbindo.
it is a chronic skin disease and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not isolate him, for he is unclean.
12 Kasi soki bokono na ye ya maba ebimisi bambuma ya mike-mike na poso ya nzoto na ye mobimba, kobanda na moto kino na makolo, na bisika nyonso oyo Nganga-Nzambe akoki kotala,
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 Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye lisusu malamu: soki amoni ete bambuma ya mike-mike etondi ye penza na nzoto mobimba, akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo te mpo ete akomi pembe nzoto mobimba.
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 Kasi akokoma mbindo na mokolo kaka poso ya nzoto na ye ekofungwama mpe ekobimisa bapota.
But whenever raw flesh appears on someone, he will be unclean.
15 Soki kaka Nganga-Nzambe atali mpe amoni bapota oyo ebimi na poso, akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo mpe bapota oyo efungwami ezali mbindo: ezali bokono ya maba.
When the priest sees the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease.
16 Mpe soki bapota oyo efungwami ekomi lisusu pembe, moto yango akozonga lisusu epai ya Nganga-Nzambe
But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest.
17 mpo ete atala ye malamu. Soki Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete bapota yango ekomi penza pembe, akoloba ete nzoto ezali mbindo te mpe ye moko moto yango azali mbindo te.
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 Soki moto moko abelaki bibon mpe yango ekawuki;
When a boil appears on someone’s skin and it heals,
19 bongo bambuma mike-mike ya pembe to lipalata ya mwa pembe mpe mwa motane ebimi na esika oyo bibon ezalaki, moto yango asengeli kokende epai ya Nganga-Nzambe oyo akotala ye malamu.
and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, he must present himself to the priest.
20 Soki Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete lidusu moko esalemi na poso ya nzoto ya moto wana, bapwale na ye ebongwani mpe ekomi pembe, akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo, pamba te ezali bokono ya maba oyo ebimi na esika oyo elembo ya pota ya bibon ezali.
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 Nzokande, soki na ngonga ya kotala ye, Nganga-Nzambe amoni te bapwale ya moto yango kobongwana pembe mpe lidusu kosalema na poso na ye, akotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko mpo na mikolo sambo.
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 Sima na yango, soki Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete lipalata yango epanzani na poso ya nzoto, akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo, pamba te azali na bokono ya maba.
If it spreads any further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.
23 Kasi soki lipalata yango epanzani te, wana elakisi ete ezali bobele elembo ya pota ya bibon; mpe Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali na ye mbindo te.
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 Soki poso ya nzoto ya moto moko eziki na moto, bongo litono moko ya pembe to ya motane esalemi kati na esika oyo eziki,
When there is a burn on someone’s skin and the raw area of the burn becomes reddish-white or white,
25 Nganga-Nzambe akotala moto yango malamu: soki bapwale oyo ezali kati na litono ebongwani, ekomi pembe mpe litono yango kati na poso ebongwani, esali pota: elakisi ete ezali bokono ya maba nde ebimi na esika oyo ezikaki. Boye, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo, pamba te azali na bokono ya maba.
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 Nzokande, soki tango Nganga-Nzambe atali moto yango malamu, amoni te bapwale ya pembe kati na litono; mpe soki litono ebongwani te, esali na yango pota te na poso mpe epanzani te; akotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko mpo na mikolo sambo.
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 Na mokolo ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye malamu: soki litono epanzani solo na poso, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo, pamba te ezali bokono ya maba.
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 Nzokande, soki litono yango etikali kaka esika moko, epanzani te na poso kasi ekawuki, wana etalisi ete ezali kaka kobeba ya poso ya nzoto mpo na kozika na ye na moto. Boye Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete azali mbindo te, pamba te ezali kaka elembo ya pota ya moto.
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 Soki mobali to mwasi abeli bokono ya poso ya nzoto, ezala na moto to na mbanga,
If a man or woman has an infection on the head or chin,
30 Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu poso ya nzoto ya moto yango: soki amoni ete bapota ebimi na poso ya nzoto ya moto yango, bapwale eteli mpe kotela na yango epanzani, akoloba ete mobali to mwasi yango azali mbindo, pamba te ezali lipalata ya moto to ya mbanga.
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 Nzokande, soki Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete poso ya nzoto ebimisi na yango bapota te, atako bapwale ezali kaka ya mwindo, akotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko mpo na mikolo sambo.
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 Na mokolo ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu poso: soki bokono yango epanzani te, bapwale eteli te, bapota ebimi te na poso,
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 mobeli akokokola suki na ye kasi akotika suki oyo ezali na bisika oyo bokono emonani. Bongo Nganga-Nzambe akotia lisusu mobeli na esika oyo akozala ye moko mpo na mikolo sambo.
then the person must shave himself except for the scaly area. Then the priest shall isolate him for another seven days.
34 Na mokolo ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu bokono yango ya poso ya nzoto: soki epanzani te mpe ebimisi bapota te, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete mobali to mwasi yango azali mbindo te. Boye mobali to mwasi yango akosukola kaka bilamba na ye mpe akokoma peto.
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 Nzokande, atako Nganga-Nzambe asili koloba ete mobali to mwasi wana azali peto kasi soki bokono yango epanzani ye kaka na poso ya nzoto,
If, however, the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing,
36 Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu: lokola bokono epanzani ye penza na poso ya nzoto, ekozala na tina te ete Nganga-Nzambe aluka lisusu koyeba soki bapwale eteli to te, pamba te mobali to mwasi yango azali penza mbindo.
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 Nzokande, soki bokono epanzani na yango te mpe bapwale ya mwindo ebimi na bisika oyo bokono ezali, wana elakisi ete mobeli abiki na bokono na ye mpe azali peto: Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete azali peto.
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 Soki mobali to mwasi amoni matono ya pembe kobima na poso ya nzoto na ye,
When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
39 Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye malamu: soki pembe ya matono yango ezali na yango ya pete, wana elakisi ete ezali na yango penza bokono te: moto yango azali peto.
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 Soki suki ya mobali moko ekatani, bongo akomi na libandi, elakisi te ete akomi mbindo.
Now if a man loses his hair and is bald, he is still clean.
41 Soki suki yango ekataneli ye na mbunzu, bongo akomi na libandi, wana elakisi ete azali peto.
Or if his hairline recedes and he is bald on his forehead, he is still clean.
42 Kasi soki lipalata moko ya mwa pembe mpe ya mwa motane ebimi ye na libandi, ezala na dikosi to na mbunzu, wana elakisi ete bokono ya maba ebandi kobima ye na libandi.
But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on it.
43 Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye malamu: soki amoni ete bokono yango ya maba ebandi kobimisa bambuma ya mike-mike ya mwa pembe mpe ya mwa motane, ezala na dikosi to na mbunzu; wana elakisi ete azali na bokono ya maba na libandi.
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 Boye mobali yango azali na bokono ya maba, azali mbindo; mpe Nganga-Nzambe asengeli koloba ete azali mbindo mpo na bokono oyo akomi na yango na moto.
the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head.
45 Moto oyo azwi bokono ya boye asengeli kolata bilamba epasuka, akokatisa suki te, akozipa mandefu na ye mpe akoganga: ‹ Mbindo! Mbindo! ›
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 Lokola bokono oyo akomi na yango ezali mbindo, ye moko mpe akozala mbindo. Boye akotonga ndako na ye mosika na bato mpe akovanda libanda ya molako.
As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.
47 Soki elamba ya kolata ezwi mbungi, ebebi mpe ekomi lokola nzoto ya moto oyo abeli bokono ya maba, ezala elamba basala na lino to na bapwale ya meme
If any fabric is contaminated with mildew —any wool or linen garment,
48 to elamba ya pete to elamba ya lino mpo na komibatela na malili to elamba basala na bapwale ya meme to mpe ezala mbungi yango emonani na likolo ya eloko basala na kapo ya pete to na kapo ya makasi,
any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather—
49 soki mbungi yango ezwi langi ya mayi ya pondu to ezwi langi ya motane, na likolo ya elamba, wana elakisi ete ezali litono ya maba; boye basengeli komema yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe mpo ete atala yango malamu.
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 Sima na Nganga-Nzambe kotala yango malamu, akotia yango na esika oyo ekozala yango moko mpo na mikolo sambo.
And the priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the contaminated fabric for seven days.
51 Na mokolo ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala lisusu malamu litono yango. Soki amoni ete epanzani na likolo ya elamba ya kolata, ya elamba ya pamba, ya elamba ya malili to na likolo ya kapo; wana elakisi ete ezali litono ya bokono ya maba oyo bakoki kolongola te mpe elakisi lisusu ete elamba yango ezali mbindo.
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 Boye basengeli kotumba elamba yango, atako ezali ndenge nini, pamba te ezali na litono oyo bakoki kolongola te: basengeli kotumba yango.
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 Nzokande, soki sima na kotala elamba yango malamu, Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete litono epanzani te na likolo ya elamba yango to na likolo ya kapo,
But when the priest reexamines it, if the mildew has not spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather article,
54 Nganga-Nzambe akopesa mitindo ete basukola yango; bongo akotia yango lisusu na esika oyo ekozala yango moko mpo na mikolo sambo.
the priest is to order the contaminated article to be washed and isolated for another seven days.
55 Sima na kosukola yango, Nganga-Nzambe akotala lisusu malamu litono; soki amoni ete ebongwani te mpe epanzani na yango te, wana elakisi ete elamba ezali mbindo mpe esengeli kotumba yango na moto: ezali elamba oyo ebebi na liboso mpe na sima.
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 Nzokande, soki Nganga-Nzambe, sima na kotala malamu elamba, amoni ete litono elongwaki na tango basukolaki elamba; akokata kaka eteni ya elamba epai wapi litono ezali.
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 Soki sima na mwa tango, litono yango ezongi lisusu, wana elakisi ete ezali bokono ya maba oyo ezali kokola. Boye esengeli kotumba na moto eteni oyo ezali na litono na elamba.
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 Tango bakosukola elamba oyo ezali na litono, soki litono yango elongwe, esengeli kosukola yango lisusu na mbala ya mibale mpo ete ezala peto. »
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 Wana nde mitindo oyo etali litono ya bokono ya maba na likolo ya elamba basala na bapwale ya meme to elamba ya lino, na likolo ya eloko nyonso basala na poso ya nyama, mpo na koyeba soki elamba ezali peto to mbindo.
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.”
