Levitike 13

1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:

And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

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.

If a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a swelling, a rising, or a bright spot, and it might become in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy: then shall he be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests.

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.

And if the priest shall see the plague in the skin of the flesh, and the hair in the plague be turned white, and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh: it is a plague of leprosy; and [so soon as] the priest shall see him, he shall 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.

But if it be a white bright spot in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance be not deeper than the skin, and the hair be not turned white: then shall the priest shut up the plague 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.

And the priest shall see him on the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague have remained unchanged in its appearance, the plague have not spread in the skin: then shall the priest shut him up seven days more.

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.

And the priest shall see him again on the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague be somewhat pale, and the plague have not spread in the skin: then shall the priest pronounce him clean; it is a rising, and he shall 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 rising should spread abroad in the skin, after he hath been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen again by 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.

And if the priest see that, behold, the rising have spread abroad in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy.

9 Soki moto azwi bokono ya maba, basengeli komema ye epai ya Nganga-Nzambe.

If the plague of leprosy happen to be on a man, then shall he be brought unto 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,

And the priest shall see, and, behold, if there be a white swelling in the skin, and the hair in it have turned white, or there be a trace of healthy 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 an inveterate leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; he shall not shut him up, 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,

And if the leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of [him that hath] the plague from his head even to the feet, so far as the eyes of 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.

If now the priest should see, that, behold, the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce the plague clean; it is all turned white, he is clean.

14 Kasi akokoma mbindo na mokolo kaka poso ya nzoto na ye ekofungwama mpe ekobimisa bapota.

But on the day that healthy flesh appeareth therein, he shall 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.

And the priest shall see the healthy flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean; the healthy flesh is unclean, it is the leprosy.

16 Mpe soki bapota oyo efungwami ekomi lisusu pembe, moto yango akozonga lisusu epai ya Nganga-Nzambe

Or if the healthy flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto 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.

And if the priest see him, and, behold, the plague be turned into white: then shall the priest pronounce the plague clean, he is clean.

18 Soki moto moko abelaki bibon mpe yango ekawuki;

And if there be a person who hath had in his skin an inflammation, and hath been healed,

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 if there be on the place of the inflammation a white swelling, or a white and dark red bright spot, he shall be shown 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.

And if the priest see, and, behold, its appearance be lower than the skin, and the hair thereof have been turned white: then shall the priest pronounce him unclean, it is the plague of leprosy broken out in the inflammation.

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 if the priest see it, and, behold, there be no white hair therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, and it be pale: then shall the priest shut him up 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.

And if it now spread abroad in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean: it is the plague [of leprosy].

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 bright spot remain in its place, and spread not, it is a scar of the inflammation; 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,

Or if there be a person in whose skin there is a place burnt by fire, and the mark of the burning become a bright spot, white and dark red, 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.

And if the priest see it, and, behold, the hair in the bright spot have been turned white, and its appearance be deeper than the skin: it is leprosy, broken out in the fire-wound; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is the plague of leprosy.

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 see it, and, behold, there be in the bright spot no white hair, and it be not lower than the skin, and it be pale: then shall the priest shut him up 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.

And the priest shall see him on the seventh day: if now it have spread abroad in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

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.

And if the bright spot remain in its place, [and] it have not spread abroad in the skin, and it be pale: it is a swelling of the fire-wound; and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is a scar of the fire-wound.

29 Soki mobali to mwasi abeli bokono ya poso ya nzoto, ezala na moto to na mbanga,

And if there be a man or woman on whom there arise a plague, on the head or on the beard;

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.

Then shall the priest see the plague; and, behold, if its appearance be deeper than the skin, and there be in it a yellow thin hair: then shall the priest pronounce him unclean, it is a dry scall, it is the leprosy of the head or of the beard.

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.

And if the priest see the plague of the scall, and, behold, its appearance be not deeper than the skin, and there be no black hair in it: then shall the priest shut up the plague of the scall 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,

And the priest shall see the plague on the seventh day; and, behold, if the scall have not spread, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the appearance of the scall be not 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 shall he be shaved, but the scall he shall not shave; and the priest shall shut up the scall seven days more.

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.

And the priest shall see the scall on the seventh day; and, behold, if the scall have not spread in the skin, and its appearance be not deeper than the skin: then shall the priest pronounce him clean, and he shall wash his clothes, and 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,

But if the scall should spread abroad in the skin after his being pronounced clean:

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.

Then shall the priest see him; and, behold, if the scall have spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair; he 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.

But if the scall have remained stationary in its color, and black hair have grown up therein: the scall is then healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38 Soki mobali to mwasi amoni matono ya pembe kobima na poso ya nzoto na ye,

And if there be a man or a woman having in the skin of their flesh bright spots, white bright spots;

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.

And if the priest do see, and, behold, there are in the skin of their flesh bright spots, pale and white: it is a freckly eruption grown in the skin; he is clean.

40 Soki suki ya mobali moko ekatani, bongo akomi na libandi, elakisi te ete akomi mbindo.

And if there be a man whose hair of the head fall off, he is a bald head; he is clean.

41 Soki suki yango ekataneli ye na mbunzu, bongo akomi na libandi, wana elakisi ete azali peto.

And if from the side of his face his hair fall off, he is forehead-bald; he is 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 be on the bald head, or the bald forehead, an eruption, white and dark red: it is the leprosy sprung up on his bald head, or his bald forehead.

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.

And the priest shall see him; and, behold, if the swelling of the eruption be white and dark red on his bald head, or on his bald forehead, like the appearance of the leprosy on the [other parts of the] skin of the flesh:

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.

He is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall pronounce him unclean; his plague is 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! ›

And the leper on whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head shall be bare, and he shall cover himself up to his upper lip, and, Unclean, unclean, shall he call out.

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.

All the days whereon the plague which rendereth unclean is on him, he shall be unclean; alone shall he dwell; without the camp shall his habitation be.

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

And if there be a garment on which there arise a plague of leprosy, whether it be on a woollen garment, or on a 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,

Whether it be on the warp, or on the woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether on a skin, or on any thing made of skin;

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 the plague be dark green or dark red, on the garment, or on the skin, or on the warp, or on the woof, or on any article made of skin: it is the plague of leprosy; and it shall be shown unto 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 shall see the plague, and shut up the plague 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.

And if he see the plague on the seventh day, that the plague have spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, or in any article that is made of skin: the plague is a corroding leprosy; it is unclean.

52 Boye basengeli kotumba elamba yango, atako ezali ndenge nini, pamba te ezali na litono oyo bakoki kolongola te: basengeli kotumba yango.

And he shall then burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any article of skin, whereon the plague is; for it is a corroding leprosy, in fire shall it be burnt.

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,

And if the priest shall see, and, behold, the plague have not spread on the garment, either on the warp, or on the woof, or on any article of skin:

54 Nganga-Nzambe akopesa mitindo ete basukola yango; bongo akotia yango lisusu na esika oyo ekozala yango moko mpo na mikolo sambo.

Then shall the priest command that they wash the thing whereon the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more.

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.

And if the priest see, after the plague hath been washed, and, behold, the plague have not changed its color, and the plague have not spread: it is unclean, in fire shalt thou burn it; it is a decay on its inside or on its outside.

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.

And if the priest see, and, behold, the plague have become pale after its having been washed: then shall he tear it out from the garment, or from the skin, or from the warp, or from the woof.

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.

And if it appear again on the garment, either on the warp, or on the woof, or on any instrument of skin: it is a growing plague; with fire shalt thou burn that whereon the plague is.

58 Tango bakosukola elamba oyo ezali na litono, soki litono yango elongwe, esengeli kosukola yango lisusu na mbala ya mibale mpo ete ezala peto. »

And the garment, either the warp or the woof, or every instrument of skin, which thou shalt wash, and the plague depart therefrom, shall be washed the second time, when it shall 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 of the plague of leprosy on a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or any article of skin, to pronounce it clean, or unclean.
